I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

"The first question is to play a piece of music. The instrument is neither silk nor wood, neither gold nor stone. The person who answers the question is neither a minister nor a noble, neither a musician nor a king."

In the magnificent court, the young god lay on the dragon throne, giggling and asking questions to challenge the emperor, empress and other officials.

"You have three days to answer this question."

All the officials were stunned: "Three days?!"

Li Zhao pulled his face and said, "Why? You think it's too long?"

The emperor, empress and officials hurriedly shook their heads: "No, no, no, time is up, please wait a moment, Xuanzun."

After saying that, Li Zhao instantly entered the system space: "I am waiting for you to please me."

After she left this difficult question, Li Zhi fell into a headache: "Play a piece of music, the instrument is neither silk nor wood, neither gold nor stone. The answerer is neither a minister nor a noble, neither a musician nor a king."

"These two points almost kill anyone who can answer the questions."

Music is one of the six arts of a gentleman, but learning music is very expensive, and people of ordinary backgrounds cannot afford it.

Wu Meiniang had already colluded with Li Zhao. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that we can only find the solution from among the students from humble backgrounds."

Li Zhi nodded and issued an edict: "Okay."

"Pass on my decree, ordering all the poor students in Luoyang to gather at the Longmen Grottoes. Those who can solve the riddle of Yudou Xuanzun will be rewarded by me personally!"

As soon as this decree came out, the whole Luoyang was in an uproar!

Countless students excitedly packed their bags and headed to the Longmen Grottoes, while in a temple, a brother and sister were also packing their things.

Shen Jiahe smiled brightly and directed the servants around him to put away the porcelain: "Hurry up and put away everything."

Shen Quanqi was pondering the riddle of Yudou Xuanzun: "What musical instrument is neither gold nor stone, neither silk nor wood, and can play music? Sister, do you know the answer?"

Shen Jiahe smiled mysteriously: "I know."

Shen Quanqi's eyes lit up, and he turned around and stared at his younger sister eagerly, but his younger sister continued, "But I won't tell you."

Shen Quanqi was speechless: "This answer is just like when you asked your mother for a garden to plant the land, but you didn't tell us the progress. Is it a secret?"

No one knew what had possessed his sister a few years ago. After waking up one night, she suddenly wanted to imitate Yan Emperor's ancestor, Dating, and grow grains.

Shen Jiahe persuaded her mother for a long time, but her mother couldn't persuade her and gave her a piece of land. She then took the servants and tinkered with it for a long time, and finally she made something out of it.

Coincidentally, the Queen Mother was recruiting talents in agriculture and sericulture. Shen Jiahe took the initiative to use his family connections to find the governor of Xiangzhou, recommend himself, and came to Luoyang.

Shen Quanqi originally thought that it would be enough to just submit a memorial and hand in her research results.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother valued talents so much that she not only summoned them, but also made an exception to test them and kept them in Luoyang City, awaiting orders.

Shen Quanqi couldn't help but feel a little hope in his heart. Could it be that today was the day when he would burn his tail and fly to the sky?

With this hope in mind, he waited and waited for almost a month.

He had been a little discouraged because he hadn't received the document from the Ministry of Personnel. But now, things took a turn for the better and hope was rekindled in his heart.

Shen Quanqi wanted to ask his sister some more questions, but she had already turned around and asked someone to continue packing his bag: "And here, take my brother's things as well. We'll leave right away!"

Shen Jiahe put his hands on his hips and smiled triumphantly, "Brother, your sister will soon accomplish something unprecedented and unparalleled!"

Shen Quanqi: "...Sister, I will wait and see for you."

What great things can a child under the age of twelve accomplish?

Shen Quanqi, who was only thirteen years old this year, sneered at what his younger sister said.

Luoyang, Longmen Grottoes, everywhere you look there is a crowd of people.

Team after team of Jinwu Guards cordoned off this large area and drove the onlookers a mile away.

Poor students came in response to the imperial edict, submitted their credentials, and after being searched by palace maids, they could directly enter the venue, sit on the cushion in front of the desk, and wait for the arrival of the distinguished person.

The emperor and empress entered the venue with their procession, accompanied by their ministers. Soon, a ball of white light descended from the sky and landed on the main seat.

Yudou Xuanzun, with a colorful halo behind his head, came to the scene, surrounded by star gods such as Li Chao, Taibai, Luohou, Jidu, Yuebei, Ziqi, as well as Madam Zhang, Ruyi and other officials and students.

Li Zhi, Wu Meiniang and other officials bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have met you."

"No need to be polite, let's get started. Let me see who among you can solve my puzzle."

As soon as Li Zhao arrived, she took the main seat, while Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang sat on her left and right.

"First round, draw lots to answer questions~"

Li Zhao smiled, and his voice spread throughout the venue with the help of the system microphone.

Draw lots?

The students gathered below were stunned. This!

How can they still stand out from the crowd?

Li Zhao: I don’t care whether you get to be in the spotlight or not. It’s enough for me to let the person I choose stand in front of Li Zhi.

Qingluan poked her secretly: "Host, your methods have become much cruder."

Li Zhao didn't care: "It doesn't matter. There's no need to be too elaborate in today's game. Anyway, Li Zhi and the others won't be able to tell that it was me who did it."

Li Chao shared the system microphone: "I will send down a shower of light. Whoever is selected by the red circle will answer the first question raised by my sister."

A strong white beam of light appeared in the sky. Qingluan manipulated the searchlight to move left and right, selecting people to answer the questions.

Everyone held their breath and focused for a moment, and finally the light stopped and pointed at Shen Jiahe in the corner.

Shen Jiahe was excited, and she stood up quickly: "Your servant Shen Jiahe is willing to present a song for Xuanzun, please appreciate it."

As soon as she finished her self-introduction, there was a small burst of surprise from the group of prime ministers at the top.

Pei Xingjian was surprised: "Huh? Is it her? The young lady who was recommended by the governor of Xiangzhou and is good at farming?"

Li Zhi looked at him and asked, "Does Prime Minister Pei recognize this young lady?"

Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "I have read her policy paper. The rotation method of wheat, millet and green manure crops described in it is quite useful and can increase the yield of the fields."

Since Li Zhi learned about the historical cycle, he has paid special attention to grain fields and was delighted to hear this.

"Good, good. I didn't expect that a little girl like her could have such an ability to increase the yield of the fields. She should be rewarded!"

The students below didn't think so. They looked at Shen Jiahe with jealousy in their eyes.

"Humph! I'm so lucky to be chosen by Xuan Zun right away!"

A man in brocade clothes was playing with a bone flute made of crane leg bones and said disdainfully:

"But this question is not simple. It's a musical instrument that is neither made of gold nor stone, neither made of silk nor wood. I want to see what good things a girl from a humble family can find!"

The bone flute in his hand was borrowed with great difficulty!

After hearing these doubts, Shen Jiahe just rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry about that!"

"Feiying, take the things out!"

Everyone stretched their necks and looked curiously, and the female official beside her was also observing the musical instrument she took out.

The bundle gradually unfolded, revealing the contents inside.

A set of large Xing kiln white porcelain bowls and ceramic chopsticks.

Everyone: "???!!!"

"What the hell is this, a set of porcelain bowls?! Is this considered a musical instrument?!"
