Vol 3 Chapter 609: Make a bet

Qi Ning and Yu Yu looked at each other and looked at Ling Huxu. Linghuxu said with a smile: "This is the case. The emperor's dormitory has not been repaired for many years. As a courtier, I have made a statement to the emperor to rebuild the dormitory. The emperor is in a position to take care of everything, and the dragon body naturally takes care, so in order for the emperor to rest well, the wood of the palace must be carefully selected. "
Lord Yu said with a smile: "This should be the case. Xiangye, there is a kind of old wood in Liaodong, which is most suitable for use in the dormitory, which can help sleep and recuperate. If it is not abandoned, my Han Kingdom is willing to provide wood for repairing the dormitory."
"Thank you." Linghu Xu arched his hand and smiled: "The ancient wood of the Han Dynasty is naturally extraordinary, but the emperor has chosen the scale of incense wood."
"Scale incense wood?"
Ling Huxu explained: "Actually, this is wood on an island in the East China Sea. Although the island is not large, there are 78,000 people who are independent and become Boyang."
Lord Yu Yu nodded and said: "I also heard of this Boyang country, but a small country in the East China Sea islands."
"Good." Linghu Xu said: "Boyang's specialty is scented wood. The scent of the wood can last for decades, and it makes people calm down. It is most suitable for sleep. For many years. In the meantime, the emperor had a string of incense wood, which was regarded as a treasure, so this time to build a dormitory, the emperor meant to use the scale incense wood of the Boyang Kingdom. "
Lord Yu said: "What could be wrong?"
Ling Huxuan sighed: "The Boyang Kingdom is uncomfortable with the world and has negotiated many times.
Bei Tangfeng couldn't help but say: "Xiangye, the little Boyang Kingdom, dare to be so rampant. Your Dongqi naval division is desperate, sending troops and fighting over them. I think they are verbose."
Lord Yu Yu frowned slightly, Linghu Xu already sighed: "Although the second prince said there is a way, but the emperor governed the country with benevolence and love, and now it is just that we in Eastern Qigong have sought the Boyang State, not that the Boyang State invaded me Dongqi, so the force of movement is unreasonable, and my Dongqi is by no means a country of strong bullying. "
His words seemed to be a pun.
Qi Ning finally said: "Mr. Xiang mentioned this matter tonight. Could it be that the Boyang State has given your country any difficulties, so would you like to discuss it together?"
Ling Huxu said with a smile: "Jin Yihou is really smart. Yes, we sent a few envoys to negotiate in the past, sincerely, and King Boyang also loosened his tone, but he may feel that he was so easily called to promise to let him in the country. The prestige was impaired, so a question was asked. If we could answer the question, they immediately agreed to provide scale incense. "
"Oh?" Qi Ning asked: "What's the problem?"
Linghu Xu said: "Come here!"
As soon as his voice fell, a domestic servant came in with a piece of wood of the same thickness as the plan. The arms were thin and long, the arms were straight, and the ends were almost the same size. Then, the servant, holding the wood in his hands, first came to Lord Yu, let him see clearly, and then he turned and held the wood to Qi Ning again.
Qi Ning smelled a scent of wood, knowing that this should be scale incense wood, and for a time did not understand what medicine was sold in Linghu's gourd.
Ling Huxuan sighed: "The problem of King Boyang is on this piece of wood. Lord, King Yi, King Boyang asked us to identify which end of this piece of wood is the treetop and which end is the root of the tree. I am very blunt. , I have n’t been able to figure it out. Today, Lord Yu and Jin Yi are here, and it ’s just asking both of them to help me solve this trouble.

Beitang

Immediately said: "Mr. Xiang, this Boyang country is obviously intentionally embarrassing. There is no difference between the two ends of this wood, and it is impossible to judge at all. If you let me recognize the age of this incense, you can try it."
"The second prince said very much." Ling Huxu said: "Since the King Boyang has a problem, naturally it is not simple, but after all, if I can't give an answer, and don't say that the emperor's palace cannot be repaired smoothly, Our face is not good-looking either. "
Qi Ning thought that this did not necessarily mean that King Boyang would embarrass Dong Qi, but that Dong Qi wanted to test Chu and Han.
If Linghu Xu seriously considers the face of Dong Qi, he will naturally not throw this question to the envoys of Chu and Han to answer. Then if he admits that Dong Qi has no solution, the face will not look good.
Lord Yu is clearly aware of this, but everyone is naturally unspoken.
"Is there a way to identify the prince?" Ling Huxu looked at Lord Yu with a smile, and the officials, big and small, looked at Lord Yu.
Lord Yu Yu thought about it, but only pondered. Although Bogutong was so high today, he let him write poems and essays, but the question raised by Linghu Xu was a bit embarrassing.
Seeing this, Ling Huxu turned to Qi Ning and asked, "Can Jinyi wait for insight?"
Qi Ning was calm and calm, and said with a smile: "The elders come first, or please ask Master Yu to answer first."
All the officials at the scene thought that Lord Yu was very knowledgeable and could not answer it in a short time. This young man was very young and naturally impossible to answer. His words seemed to respect Lord Yu, but It's probably because I didn't know how to answer at all, so I just shoved it off.
Some officials present did not know that the monarchy of the Eastern Qi monarch was going to be repaired, nor did they know that they were looking for Boyang Kingdom to trade scale incense wood. Hearing the question of Linghu Xu, everyone looked at the scale incense wood held by the servant. Find out what method can be used to identify.
Bei Tangfeng listened to Qi Ning's words and already mocked: "Jin Yihou, you don't have to be so polite. If you don't know what to do, you don't know what to do, what elders are first, what do you think in your heart Don't the prince know? "
The Northern Han Dynasty and Nan Chu are enemy countries, and both sides dislike each other, and everyone knows it, but Bei Tangfeng is so ridiculed that Qi Ning is so ridiculous under the eyes of the public. Ning is still a few years older, but his cultivation is obviously not as good as Qi Ning. Qi Ning is calm and comfortable from beginning to end. I think that Jinyi Qi's recognition is still different.
Qi Ning smiled faintly and said, "May the second prince recognize the ends of the scaled incense wood?"
Beitang Fengdao said: "I asked myself that there is no way, but you have no way."
"Oh?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "The second prince is so sure? Otherwise, how about you and me betting?"
"What bet?"
Qi Ning said: "The second prince was born noble, and his daily life is naturally splendid. I have no other requirements. If I can identify the ends of the wood, can the second prince make amusement and sing a song to all of you here. , Or you can dance a dance, how about unconsciously? "
Beitang Feng was very angry, thinking that you would let Lao Tzu sing and dance under the eyes of all eyes. Is it to treat my Tang Dynasty Northern Han prince as a cheap song and dance girl, barely controlling emotions, sneeringly said: "If you lose , What about? "
Qi Ning raised his hand and said: "But please send the second prince."
Bei Tangfeng's eyes turned and smiled, "This prince is not embarrassing for you. If you lose, I will let you be

The crowd cut all your hair buns, dare you agree? "
As soon as this remark came out, everyone on the scene was slightly discolored. Lord Yu Yu said in a deep voice: "You can't be embarrassed."
Although Qi Ning proposed to let Bei Tangfeng sing and dance, which meant ridiculing Bei Tangfeng, but Bei Tangfeng proposed to let Qi Ning cut her hair, it was not just ridicule, but a great insult.
In this era, people firmly believe that parents with body skin and hair, like a hair bun and head, cut hair bun, and even cut off the head, there is a certain point of view, unless the monk sees the red dust for monks, otherwise cut hair is cut The head is much more serious and more humiliating.
Everyone thought that the young people were not convinced of each other, and it was not a strange thing to bet against each other, but the conditions proposed by Bei Tangfeng were extremely harsh, and Qi Ning certainly would not agree.
Knowing that Qi Ning smiled faintly, Yun Danfeng lightly said: "Good!"
Bei Tangfeng's spirit revived and said anxiously: "Everyone heard that, I didn't force him, he agreed to it. Qi Ning, everyone heard it clearly. The man's big husband, he said, he can't go wrong."
Qi Ning arched his hands and said: "Everyone, the second prince said very much, the man's big husband, a word, and it would be a shameless villain." He got up and said to Linghu: "Xianye, please help me Prepare a large tank with half a tank of water. "
Everyone was stunned. I do n’t know what kind of fame Qining was going to make, but Ling Huxu slightly bowed his head. After a short command, two people lifted a big cylinder into the tank and placed it in the middle. Clear water, Qi Ning glanced at Bei Tangfeng, and then said to the housekeeper who held the wood: "Put the wood in the water tank."
The man looked at Ling Huxu, and when he saw Ling Huxu nodded, he put the wood into the water tank, and Qi Ning walked over to the water tank and glanced at it, then he said to Linghu Xu: "Xiangye, the answer Come out, please come and watch. "
Ling Huxu stood up immediately and walked to the water tank. Lord Yu and all the officials also got up and surrounded him. Bei Tangfeng followed Lord Yu and looked at the water tank. He saw that the wood was floating in the water tank and sneered. Tao: "Qining, where is the answer?"
"You don't know, it doesn't mean that others don't know." Qi Ning said lightly: "In fact, this problem is not difficult, or even extremely simple. Everything in the world can't be lifted, the cloudiness is down, the cloudiness is heavy, and the trees are also So ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The roots are slightly heavier, and the tops are lighter. "Lifting the finger at the wood in the water tank:" Everyone can see at a glance that the wood is in the water, the ends are uneven, and one end is slightly sunk in the water. The other end is floating upwards, which section is the root of the tree, which end is the treetop, I do n’t think I need to explain it anymore. "
As soon as he finished explaining, everyone watched carefully, and saw that the wood had settled down, and it turned out that it was soaked a little deeper in the water. Many people were suddenly enlightened. Some people have already admired: "Gao Ming, Gao Ming, really Gao Ming, it was so simple."
In fact, this is a very simple physical principle. For Qi Ning, who was a man of the two worlds, it was extremely simple, but for people of this era, it is difficult to think of this.
The Beitang wind changed color, his eyes rolled, and sneered: "What clear air rises and turbid air falls, Qi Ning, you are making a mystery, who knows whether it is true or false, can't you say that this is the case."
In fact, some people have the same feelings as Bei Tangfeng thought, but it may not be the case. This is a very simple truth in later generations. At this time, not everyone can understand it. Qi Ning glanced and saw half of them It was a nod of admiration, but some people were silent, and some showed suspiciousness. They sighed in their hearts and could only sigh: "Since the second prince doesn't believe it, it's actually very simple to verify."
