Chapter 91 In order to avoid the embarrassment of Lao Li's head
Fang Xuanling discovered that there seemed to be many weirdos appearing in Chang'an City recently.
His Majesty the Emperor knew several of them, and Duan Lun said again that this young man was the strange man who carved the dragon pattern.
These people can't be the same person, right?
No, it's impossible.
How could a young man know so many things?
But in an instant, Fang Xuanling rejected her previous thoughts.
"I'm not interested in this matter. I got a lantern riddle from an expert today."
"The master said that if you can guess the lantern riddle, you can agree to one of my conditions."
"Moreover, he told me that he would allow anyone around me to guess this lantern riddle."
"Everyone, I hope you can guess this lantern riddle!" Li Shimin waved his hand and interrupted Fang Xuanling.
He didn't want these people to go to the Wangyou Tavern.
Zhao Chen is not a fool.
It's just that now there is no doubt about the identity of himself and Queen Changsun.
But if this person goes there too often, he might be careless and say something he shouldn't.
By then, I can't even think about sitting down to eat with Zhao Chen!
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he took out the lantern riddle Zhao Chen gave him from his arms.
The lantern riddle has not been opened yet, and Li Shimin does not know the content of the lantern riddle.
Li Shimin thought to himself, he couldn't read this lantern riddle, otherwise wouldn't he expose his IQ in front of them?
"I have never seen this riddle before. I believe that as the Tang Dynasty humerus, you will be able to guess this lantern riddle easily." Li Shimin said slowly.
There was an accompanying eunuch beside him who took the note and sent it to Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling slowly opened the note and saw that it said, "If you are four years old, you can make pears."
"How can you make pears when you are four years old?" Fang Xuanling said with a frown.
"What does this mean?"
"Isn't this the story of Kong Rong letting pear fall?"
"A story can also be used as a riddle?"
"What kind of lantern riddle is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"Although I'm not good at guessing lantern riddles, I didn't know there was such a lantern riddle."
Everyone frowned as they looked at the lantern riddles in front of them.
They had thought before that they, themselves, were also famous Confucians.
How can a little riddle make them embarrassed?
That's not something you can guess casually.
As an expert among these people, Chu Suiliang was not even willing to take a look at it at first.
He thought that His Majesty the Emperor's invitation to him to come over and guess lantern riddles was obviously killing a chicken with a knife.
I wanted to give this opportunity to a few people, but who knows, the situation seems to be different from what I thought.
"Let me take a look!" Chu Suiliang took a step forward and said.
Fang Xuanling glanced at Chu Suiliang, handed the lantern riddle in his hand to Chu Suiliang, and said, "This lantern riddle is completely different from what we usually see."
"However, everyone Chu is here, so it's not a big problem if you want it!"
The others remained silent and looked at Chu Suiliang.
At the same time, I was also thinking about this lantern riddle secretly.
Li Shimin sat above, looking at the frowning expressions of the people in front of him.
I felt a little relieved in my heart.
Fortunately, I didn't read the lantern riddle. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I couldn't guess it?
However, Li Shimin quickly realized that he had spoken harsh words to Zhao Chen before. If he couldn't guess the lantern riddle, he would have to...
Diarrhea while standing upside down?
When Li Shimin thought about it, he felt that if he really did this, he would never think about raising his head again for the rest of his life.
I felt a little anxious at the moment.
"What happened?" Li Shimin asked.
Chu Suiliang didn't speak, but already had a frown on his face.
Obviously, Chu Suiliang didn't guess it either.
"Your Majesty, this lantern riddle is very difficult to guess. Why don't we go to court tomorrow morning and let the ministers think of a solution!" Fang Xuanling knew it was best to leave here quickly.
Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor will become angry and probably have to deal with them.
Duan Lun is standing nearby, the lessons learned from the past are obvious!
"What the Prime Minister said makes sense. You can take this riddle back home and think about it. If you can't think of it, let the courtiers think about it together tomorrow morning!" Li Shimin nodded.
I also knew that they would not be able to figure it out for a while, so I simply asked them to go back and think about it slowly.
Li Shimin felt a little annoyed.
Usually everyone talks about how great they are and how rich their knowledge is, but now, they can't even guess a lantern riddle.
If he really wants to stand upside down and have diarrhea, he must first stuff these ministers into the cesspool one by one.
"I'll leave!" Fang Xuanling secretly touched the sweat on his forehead and said to Li Shimin.
…
"Master Chu, is there any solution to this lantern riddle?" Fang Xuanling asked quickly after coming out of the main hall.
He had already noticed His Majesty the Emperor's displeasure.
If it cannot be solved tomorrow, these ministers will probably be buried to death one by one!
"I'm just thinking about it!" Chu Suiliang frowned and said softly.
There's nothing he can do.
This lantern riddle was of a type he had never seen before. It was a six-character riddle that told a story about Kong Rong letting a pear fall.
How to interpret this word?
"You must think about it carefully. Mr. Chu is a master at solving word puzzles, so I'll leave it to you." Fang Xuanling said.
Wei Zheng stood aside, his brows twisted into knots.
But I can’t guess why!
…
"Zhao Chen, it's getting late, and it's time for my aunt to go back!"
"You have to take good care of yourself while you are here. Auntie will come visit you in a few days!"
After sitting in the tavern for a long time, Queen Changsun stood up and said goodbye to Zhao Chen.
Empress Changsun is becoming more and more satisfied with Zhao Chen.
Although he was not raised by himself, Zhao Chen's character was well developed.
In addition to confronting His Majesty the Emperor on a daily basis, Empress Changsun could not tell what Zhao Chen did not do well enough!
"I'll see my aunt off!" Zhao Chen nodded, stood up and said.
"Zhao Chen, if you want to see your aunt, you can say hello to Li Ruoshuang first, so that your aunt can prepare for you!" Empress Changsun asked with a smile.
In fact, I am also worried that my identity will be known by Zhao Chen and misunderstood by Zhao Chen.
However, Empress Changsun herself didn’t know how long she could keep it a secret.
"Okay, if possible, I will go to my aunt's house to pay her New Year's greetings after the new year!" Zhao Chen nodded.
"By the way, aunt, in order to avoid Lao Li's embarrassment, I will tell my aunt the answer to the lantern riddle, and she will remind him from the side."
"With Lao Li Tou's brain, if he doesn't give me some hints, he probably won't be able to figure it out in his lifetime!" Zhao Chen said to Empress Changsun with a smile.
"You are talking nonsense!" Empress Changsun scolded with a smile.
He thought that if His Majesty the Emperor knew that he had been arranged by Zhao Chen again, he would probably be so angry that he would not be able to eat.
But Zhao Chen still has some conscience and knows how to save face for His Majesty.
Otherwise, Your Majesty may not be able to sleep again tonight.
"Come and listen to your aunt." Empress Changsun said with a smile.
"The answer to this lantern riddle is..." Zhao Chen and Queen Changsun whispered.
"You beg for a beating!" After hearing the answer, Empress Changsun patted Zhao Chen's head gently and said angrily.
"Hey, aunt, please slow down!" Zhao Chen smiled and waved to Queen Changsun.?
