The question is very simple.
Many ministers in the court already showed puzzled looks.
Is the second question just a simple arithmetic question?
"Then what's your problem?"
Zhao Gao asked curiously.
The first emperor Ying Zheng also found it very interesting, looking at the beauty and lack of morality.
His intuition told him that the second question was definitely not easy!
After all, the Xiongnu and the God of War are not here to play with the Qin Empire.
"The question is how many soldiers and how many sheep will be left after five months?"
Hua Yan Wudao looked at the First Emperor Ying Zheng, then looked around at the courtiers in the hall, and said with a proud smile: "I don't know if you all have the answer, but you only have one chance to answer the question. If you make a mistake, you will lose!"
"As for the answer, please let His Majesty the First Emperor decide!"
She was carefully prepared for this difficult problem.
Presumably no one in the Qin Empire can answer the question in a short period of time...
Zhao Gao analyzed: "Ten soldiers, a thousand sheep, each time a cavalry dies, a hundred sheep."
"After five months, I'm afraid there will only be five soldiers and five hundred sheep left!"
Zhao Gao gave an affirmative answer. Although his intuition felt that it was not that simple, on the surface, it was so.
"That won't be the case!"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng said: "If it is so simple, it is not really a problem."
"Here!"
Zhao Gao nodded and agreed.
"In my opinion, both the people and the sheep are gone."
Young Master Hu Hai analyzed.
"Young Master 18, why is this?"
He Ming, the censor doctor, asked, somewhat curious.
"The question is simple."
Young Master Hu Hai said confidently: "There is great terror between life and death!"
"Both humans and animals are afraid. Moreover, earthquakes occur once a month, and there are casualties every time."
"Master He, think about it, will they stay?"
He Ming, the censor doctor, couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and said: "What the Eighteenth Young Master said makes sense, it must be like this!"
Young Master Hu Hai looked at Hua Yan Wudao, but the other party was noncommittal.
"The answer is decided by His Majesty the First Emperor!"
Hua Yan Wudao said.
"Father, what do you think?"
Young Master Hu Hai looked at the First Emperor Ying Zheng.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng looked deeply and said: "Wait a little longer and see if there are any other reasonable answers."
But his gaze was directed at Ying Ziye.
After noticing this scene, Young Master Hu Hai felt very depressed.
"It's myna again!"
"Father, why can't you believe me?"
Young Master Hu Hai was extremely dissatisfied, but he did not dare to refute.
Young Master Fusu was analyzing at this time and thought: "Hua Yan Wudao said it is a thinking question, not an arithmetic question!"
"It seems that this question has nothing to do with arithmetic. Instead, it is about thinking about human nature and fear..."
At this moment, Young Master Fusu had the answer. He bowed to the high platform and said, "I would like to inform my father. I also think that what my eighteenth brother said is true!"
"Everyone has fear in their hearts and will avoid danger, but animals and the like are purely natural and will never stay in such a dangerous place!"
But Li Si retorted: "I don't think so!"
"you!"
Young Master Fusu looked at Li Si with an ugly expression, anger rising in his heart.
However, Li Si was the head of the officials, and as the prime minister, he was not the one he could vent his anger on.
"Ah!"
Young Master Fusu put away his anger, his face turned into a warm smile, and said: "I wonder what the Prime Minister has to say?"
“I don’t have any high opinion, I just don’t think it’s that simple!”
Li Si smiled and said: "It's still a long time anyway, so there's no need to be in such a hurry."
"good!"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng said calmly: "Wait and see."
However, the words changed.
"Midnight, do you have the answer?"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng looked at Ying Ziye meaningfully and asked.
Intuition told the First Emperor Ying Zheng that Ying Ziye must have made a decision.
"Reply to Father!"
Ying Ziye cupped his hands and bowed, "I do have some insights."
"Oh, tell me!"
First Emperor Ying Zheng smiled.
"In that case, I will analyze it for my father and other ministers."
Ying Ziye walked calmly and calmly in the hall, gently swaying his folding fan, showing off his cool and unrestrained manner, and said: "After three earthquakes, three soldiers died and three hundred sheep died."
"After five times, of course there will be no sheep left!"
Hear this.
Young Master Fusu smiled and said, "That's right. Animals and insects all have the instinct to survive. How can they still stay on the mountain?"
"After the earth shook three times, can't they still leave completely?"
As he spoke, Young Master Fusu was quite proud.
"Ah!"
Ying Ziye smiled, looked at Young Master Fusu, and said, "Brother is really smart."
"Every living thing has a survival instinct, including humans!"
"Even humans have wisdom that far exceeds that of other creatures. After the earth has been shaken many times, they will inevitably leave!"
"But the biggest difference between humans and animals is that besides wisdom, there is something they don't have, and that is loyalty!"
Young Master Fusu had a smile in his eyes, but in his heart he was extremely dissatisfied with Ying Ziye, and asked, "So what if I'm loyal?"
Zhao Gao and the civil and military officials came to look at him one after another.
Hua Yan Wudao also looked at Ying Ziye curiously, wondering if he could still solve the problem today.
There was a crash!
Ying Ziye flicked his folding fan, fanning the breeze, blowing a few strands of hair, and said with a smile: "The people who are looking after the sheep are soldiers of my Great Qin Empire. The so-called military order is like a mountain, and all actions are subject to command!"
"Under my father's rule, the officers and soldiers of Great Qin were loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and would risk their lives to fight for the country!"
"Without the orders of Father and the Empire, even if there is only one soldier left, he will never leave!"
When Ying Ziye mentioned this, he bowed his hands to the First Emperor and said respectfully: "So, father!"
"In my opinion, the answer is five people and no sheep!"
He bit the last four words very clearly.
The words fell.
Above the court.
Silence!
But then there was a warm sound of admiration.
“Eighth Young Master’s words make sense!”
The imperial censor couldn't help but admire him, and he was even more shocked by Ying Ziye's words.
"Yes, yes, this makes sense!"
Guard Shen Qianqiu also gave a thumbs up.
"It's more reasonable than the two young masters Hu Hai and Fu Su!"
"Compared with the Eighth Young Master, the eldest and the Eighteenth Young Master are not as good as each other!"
"Alas... Eighth Young Master's remarks are actually a debate between human nature and animal nature!"
All civil and military officials sighed.
But he thinks that Young Master Fusu and Young Master Hu Hai are too weak.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng also had stern eyes, and he felt even more benefited in his heart. He said with great joy: "Ziye's words are indeed a profound analysis of human nature and animal nature."
"Yes, our Great Qin Empire is all good men, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"Hua Yan has no way, I will use Midnight's answer to answer this question!"
Regarding the candidates to answer, the First Emperor Ying Zheng quickly made a decision.
"But!"
What else did Young Master Fusu and Young Master Hu Hai want to say.
However, he saw that the first emperor Ying Zheng had a majestic face and did not allow anyone to question him.
"Father, you are so partial..."
The two of them couldn't help but feel angry.
When Hua Yan Wudao heard this answer and saw that the First Emperor had made his decision, he also looked embarrassed.
Because, this is the answer!
"The Huns lost the second game!"
Hua Yan Wudao stared at Ying Ziye tightly, full of anger.
Unexpectedly, the second match was also defeated by the opponent.
Young Master Fusu stepped forward unwillingly, walked to the middle of the hall, opened the wooden box, and took out the sheepskin scroll.
When I opened it, I saw four big characters - Five people without sheep!
Suddenly the whole person's face turned gloomy.
Seeing this scene, Young Master Hu Hai also clenched his fists.
Hua Yan Wudao took a deep breath and said: "The Huns have been defeated, and the God of War is willing to abide by his promise. From now on, he will never invade the Qin Dynasty again for a hundred years!"
As soon as this was said.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The whole court resounded with cheerful laughter.
I am happy not because the Huns promised not to go south within a hundred years.
Agreements between countries are often just pieces of paper that can be used to wipe one's butt.
It has no effect at all!
Perhaps the two countries have the same strength and do not want to go to war. It is still useful when they need stable development.
But at that time, it didn’t matter whether there was a commitment agreement or not, it was just for peace of mind.
What the officials laughed at was that the Qin Empire defeated the Xiongnu and lost face to the Xiongnu.
