Chapter 92: This Is Cursing Me Secretly
After Fang Xuanling and others left, Li Shimin's head was full of the riddle given by Zhao Chen.
My head hurts so much that Li Shimin didn't think of it.
This made Li Shimin a little anxious!
Thinking about the fact that at tomorrow's court meeting, if those ministers could not solve this riddle, how would I tell Zhao Chen?
It is impossible to admit defeat!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but pace back and forth.
Until Empress Changsun came in from outside.
"Your Majesty!" Queen Changsun and Li Shimin shouted.
"The Guanyin maid is back, sit down and rest first!" Li Shimin squeezed a smile on his face when he saw Empress Changsun coming.
"What's wrong with Your Majesty? His face looks so ugly!" Queen Changsun asked softly.
She still rarely sees the emperor expressing such an expression.
I couldn't help but feel a little surprised at the moment.
I thought to myself that something big happened!
"I just found Fang Xuanling and others, and even found Chu Suiliang, hoping that they would help me guess the riddle of that boy Zhao Chen and let me breathe a lot!"
"Who knows, one or two of them usually have a great style, but I can't even guess a riddle. I really disappointed me!" Li Shimin sat next to Empress Changsun and said some complaining words.
Li Shimin was indeed very disappointed just now.
He even thought that if the ministers in his court tomorrow would not be able to solve this riddle.
Where will you put your face at that time?
If Zhao Chen knew about this, would he still be a human being in the future?
"That child Zhao Chen just likes to do these strange things. Fang Xiang and the others rarely come into contact with it, so it is natural that they can't solve it!"
"Your Majesty might as well tell me the riddle. Maybe I can also help me think about it!" Empress Changsun said with a smile.
She didn't dare to tell the emperor directly that Zhao Chen knew that he couldn't guess it, so she told herself the answer and asked herself to remind the emperor.
If Li Shimin knew about this, he would definitely be a slap in the face and make him fat.
"Okay, Guanyinbi, you read a lot of books on weekdays, and maybe you can really solve this riddle!" Li Shimin nodded.
On paper, I wrote the riddle that Zhao Chen gave him: Rong was four years old and could make a pear.
"Guanyin Bi, Kong Rong was able to give up a pear at the age of four. This is just an allusion. How can I interpret the words?"
"Even if it is a disassembly of the words, there is no way to start!" Li Shimin looked at the puzzle and his eyebrows were frowning tightly again.
He had tried all the methods he knew, but he couldn't think of them.
Li Shimin even doubted whether his IQ was really as low as Zhao Chen said?
"Your Majesty, I think if this guess is not a word, but a word, will it be easier to interpret!" Queen Changsun and Li Shimin said.
I know the answer in my heart, but I still pretend to be thinking.
"What Guanyin Bi said is, what I guessed is not the same word at all?" Li Shimin frowned.
He never thought of solving riddles like this.
"Rong is four years old, and Kong Rong is four years old, maybe he is not very old." Empress Changsun said slowly, frowned, looking inconclusive.
Queen Changsun felt that it was really difficult to pretend to be confused with her understanding!
"I'm not old, right? Kong Rong is four years old and is not very old!" Li Shimin nodded and expressed his affirmation.
"Then how can I explain this to give up the pear?" Li Shimin still didn't fully understand, so he continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, you think, we usually tell Chengqian and the others the story of Kong Rong's releasing pear."
"If Cheng Qian and the others did this, how would Your Majesty praise them?" Empress Changsun felt that she didn't look like her at all.
It's almost like he can tell the answer directly to His Majesty the Emperor.
But the emperor still didn't seem to react at all.
"How do you praise them? Of course, they are sensible!" Li Shimin blurted out.
"Wait, so the answer to the riddle that Zhao gave me is not big, and I am sensible!"
"If you connect, you are not very sensible?"
"Little bastard, are you scolding me secretly!" Li Shimin suddenly reacted.
Zhao Chen gave him such a riddle in order to curse him secretly?
Too much, it's simply outrageous!
Li Shimin was very angry and even wanted to take someone over now and tie Zhao Chen to the pillar and beat him up.
"This kid not only talks about me in front of me, but now he is also unwilling to forgive me in secret."
"Guanyin maid, I have decided to go there again after the tomorrow's meeting. I will put the answer to the kid. Then I will deal with him well!"
"See if he dares to play tricks with me in the future!" Li Shimin clenched his fists, looking like he was about to run away.
The eunuch outside the hall was about to ask the emperor if he wanted to have dinner. When he heard the emperor's loud shout from the hall, he was shocked.
The hand that reached out to knock on the door also shrank back.
"Your Majesty, why don't you forget it? Zhao Chen..."
"Guanyin maid, that boy Zhao Chen must beat me well to save me from being embarrassed in the court in the future!" Li Shimin said angrily.
Li Shimin was not worried about this.
After Zhao Chen returned to the court, the ministers begged Zhao Chen not to deal with them.
Who dares to offend him?
But Li Shimin finally found an opportunity to deal with Zhao Chen, how could he let him go easily?
If you don’t breathe hard, wouldn’t you miss this God-given opportunity?
Empress Changsun opened her mouth several times, but she seemed very happy to see the emperor and didn't want to hit him now.
...
The next morning, the court meeting began.
"Where is Chu Suiliang, why didn't he come here today?" Li Shimin sat upright on the dragon couch, glanced at the ministers in front of him, and saw that Chu Suiliang did not come today.
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Report to Your Majesty, Chu Suiliang said that he was ill and could not participate in the court meeting in the past few days!" Fang Xuanling stood up and said to Li Shimin.
In fact, Chu Suiliang is not sick.
But after returning yesterday, Chu Suiliang thought about it all night, but still couldn't come up with the answer.
It took a night but I didn't think about it. How dare he participate in the court meeting today?
If I was asked and couldn't answer it, it would be so embarrassing.
So placing an illness became his best way to escape.
"Chu Suiliang is just right to be sick!" Li Shimin said in a plain voice.
But everyone in the court heard the dissatisfaction in His Majesty the Emperor's mouth.
No one dares to speak at the moment.
"At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I said that I would like to reorganize the imperial examination. Do you have any opinions?" Li Shimin seemed not to want to pursue Chu Suiliang. He changed his subject and talked about the reorganization of the imperial examination.
Originally, Li Shimin wanted to confirm this matter with everyone and then hand it over to the Ministry of Rites to do it.
The five surnames and seven hopes control the imperial examinations, and many ministers in the court are theirs.
Whenever the emperor did something that would harm the interests of the five surnames and seven hopes, a large group of people would stand up and oppose it.
This has long made Li Shimin very angry.
