Yu Ji stood up.

He has the highest level of knowledge.

So he was appointed as the commander.

Drinking games are a game played by nobles to entertain themselves while drinking.

The gameplay is also relatively simple.

During the banquet, one person is elected as the commander, also known as the wine commander. The others follow his orders and take turns reciting poems, couplets or playing other games. Those who disobey the orders or lose the game will be punished by drinking.

Gu Yuan had a reason for proposing this. He wasn't just a skilled warrior; he was also renowned for his talent and talent. He knew a thousand characters by the age of three and was proficient in poetry and literature by the age of five. He possessed a profound literary talent, even Yu Ji praising his writing for its profound meaning.

He just wanted to embarrass Ning Que!

Gu Yuan sneered.

He was fully prepared for today.

His character is vindictive.

Ning Que had repeatedly targeted his Gu family, causing them to be stripped of their official positions and become the laughing stock of Chang'an City. He was determined to vent his anger!

Gu Yuan almost laughed out loud when Ning Que agreed. He didn't deny that Ning Que was indeed quite capable. However, drinking games tested knowledge and quick wit.

Ning Que stood up and said calmly, "There's definitely no problem with a drinking game, but just forcing people to drink is meaningless. As you all know, I'm about to reorganize the Three Guards, and the palace has to cover the expenses. So, let's make some bets. In addition to forcing people to drink, I'll also donate a hundred taels of silver."

"I, the king, will be the master of the pass. If I cannot answer, or if my answer is incorrect, I will give you a hundred taels of silver. If I can answer, I will fine the person who played the game and pay for the wine. What do you think?"

"Haha, interesting."

Emperor Feng immediately clapped his hands.

This is Ning Que's personality.

Notoriously greedy for money.

Unlike those corrupt officials, Ning Que's greed for money was for the benefit of the people. Take the relief efforts for Jingyang, for example. Dafeng didn't contribute a cent; Ning Que paid for it all out of his own pocket. Jingyang suffered a locust plague, but thanks to Ning Que's financial support, life actually improved!

In addition, Ning Que also likes to do some research.

He is the most popular person in the entire Ministry of Industry.

The Minister of Works would go to the palace every now and then.

Ning Que paid for all these expenses himself.

Fortunately, he has a good way of making money and can barely support himself.

Emperor Feng also acquiesced to this.

Most officials have only two pursuits.

Either greed for money or power.

For Emperor Feng, greed for money was definitely better than abusing power. Especially since Ning Que had already inherited the title of king and there was nothing more he could do. Ning Que's greed for money was actually a pretext for him.

The old Prince Ning had actually done something similar. Back then, to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Dafeng had practically mobilized its entire nation. The late emperor hadn't been suspicious, but what would the court officials think?

This is an unprecedented achievement!

What the old King Ning did was also very simple.

He started asking for benefits before he even left Chang'an.

I said, "I am old and will not live long. I have no more titles to offer, and the late emperor may give me some gold, jade and jewels as a reward."

This is what it means to defile oneself through wealth and treasure!

The late emperor knew the old Prince Ning’s intention and agreed.

With unity, we successfully recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!

Now, Ning Que is also like this!

"Okay!" Gu Yuan smiled and looked at Yu Ji, saying seriously, "Then the Grand Tutor will be the ordering officer. I'll ask the first question. If Your Highness can answer it, I'll drink a fine!"

"please."

Yu Ji sat in the front, his writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone ready. He would record his wins and losses to avoid arguing with debts later.

"My question is very simple."

"May I ask Prince Ning, do you know how large the territory of Dafeng is?"

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar. This question seemed simple, but it actually contained a hidden meaning. To answer it casually would be a great disrespect to the Emperor!

Ning Que smiled and said calmly, "My Dafeng currently governs thirty-six counties. Its territory stretches eastward to Goguryeo, westward to the Lintao Qiang people, southward to the Nanyue Kingdom, and northward from the Yellow River and the Yinshan Mountains to Liaodong."

"Your Majesty has the ambition of a Kunpeng, vowing to sweep across the world and establish a unified dynasty unprecedented in history. From now on, it will last for thousands of years. Therefore, I believe that wherever the sun and moon shine, it is my territory!"

"Hahaha, well said!"

Emperor Feng laughed heartily and applauded.

These words really touched his heart!

Sima Changqing is also quite tactful.

He quickly stood up.

"Everywhere the sun and moon shine is Dafeng's territory!"

“…”

All the ministers bowed deeply.

Instead, Gu Yuan was completely stunned.

Just like a clown.

He had originally intended to trick Ning Que, ideally by driving a wedge between him and Emperor Feng. However, he hadn't expected Ning Que to answer so flawlessly, earning Emperor Feng's delight and praise.

"What do you think of this answer, General Gu?"

“Excellent.”

Yu Ji picked up his pen and started writing.

At the same time, sing the prayer loudly.

"Master Guan wins!"

"Those who ask will be punished with wine and gifts!"

Gu Yuan gritted his teeth, picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

Samuel listened thoughtfully.

She glanced at the high and mighty Emperor Feng.

This is Emperor Feng...

Wherever the sun and the moon shine, it is the territory of Dafeng!

It seems that they will have another battle sooner or later.

The so-called peace treaty is just a piece of waste paper.

"I am here to add to the fun."

Jiang Quan stood up and raised his hand, saying, "This is a math problem. There is a beast with six heads and four legs, and a bird with four heads and two legs. There are seventy-six heads on top and forty-six legs on the bottom. Question: How many birds and beasts are there?"

Ning Que couldn't help but laugh.

This question is actually a variation of the chicken and rabbit problem.

It can be solved by simply writing a linear equation with two variables.

But it is more complicated for Feng people.
