Sign in starts from the big day golden body

I am looking forward to investigating the trip of the book demon.

……

the next day.

In the Great Zhou Palace, above the main hall, the atmosphere is solemn at the moment.

Empress Ji Suxue was sitting high on the dragon chair, among the civil and military officials, and above the main hall, stood a group of barbarians whose clothes were different from those of Dazhou.

Ji Suxue ascended the throne, and today is the day for foreign envoys to visit and celebrate.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a bit oppressive and heavy.

Ji Suxue looked at the few people standing aside who were not wearing official clothes, but were imposing.

These people are the representatives of the aristocratic family, and they came together with the barbarians this time, and they might be menacing.

There are already many gaps between the aristocratic family and the royal family. The Great Zhou has been a country for thousands of years. Although the conflict between the Great Zhou royal family and the aristocratic family has not been made explicit, it is already known to the world.

The seven aristocratic families in the southeast and northwest have been quite restless these years, but the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Tiandao, worked hard to rule, and coupled with the protection of the mysterious Dao protector of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no family dared to really tear themselves apart from the royal family.

However, all of this changed after Ji Suxue came to power.

The aristocratic family seemed to be aware of the coming of their opportunity, and frequently tried to test whether the new empress's skills were worthy of the former emperor's evaluation, and now they even climbed into the hall with the barbarians, which has reached a blatant level.

This is direct contempt for imperial power.

But Ji Suxue's expression was extremely calm, as if all this was just a quarrel between cats and dogs.

At this time, His Highness Hu Ren's leader said: "I have heard for a long time that the people of Zhou Dynasty are outstanding, and a craftsman in our country has developed a nine-ring lock. I wonder if your Majesty can unlock it?"

It was clearly a rebellious word, but there was a death-like silence in the room.

Ji Suxue's gaze was still calm, but her hands shrunk in the dragon robe were already quietly clenched. At this moment, Wang Fengsheng, the chief minister and assistant, said slowly: "My emperor of the Zhou Dynasty is wise and martial, and he is not a mediocre person. In this way, you will offer the nine-ring lock."

Ji Suxue quietly took a deep breath and said, "Go and get this thing up."

The maid next to her then set off and went down to bring up the plate covered with red cloth in the hands of the barbarian envoy. After checking in advance whether there were organs and other things, she presented it.

But when she lifted the red cloth from the plate and saw the contents on the plate, Ji Suxue's pupils shrank suddenly!

She immediately retracted her pale fingers, and fixed her eyes coldly on the face of the barbarian envoy, saying word by word: "Qing said that this thing was developed by a barbarian?"

The Hu envoy smiled lightly and said, "That's right, this is what was made by 'Lato', the number one craftsman in our Dawan Kingdom."

On the side, the representatives of several aristocratic families looked at Ji Suxue with playfulness in their eyes.

Ji Suxue took a deep breath, and just when she was about to speak, a voice suddenly shouted angrily: "Nonsense! This is obviously the Nine Links developed by my ingenious craftsman Da Zhou. How did it become something from your Dawan Kingdom?"

For a moment, the quiet hall was interrupted by the sudden sound, and everyone looked over.

But he saw a young official standing there, his face flushed, staring at the barbarian.

This is the new supervisory censor, a seventh-rank official, Sun Zhuoqing.

The barbarian envoy was taken aback.

"Ha ha."

At this moment, a voice broke the silence, but after seeing the barbarian, a young man in moon-white clothes said slowly: "Sun Yushi's words are wrong, I'm afraid I heard the rumors wrong. The nine chains are clearly big It was made by Rato, a skillful craftsman in Wan Kingdom, but I remember it clearly."

This person is the second son of the Bai family of the northern family, Bai Shan, and also a powerful child of the Bai family.

Sun Zhuoqing's face turned even redder in an instant, and his brain was almost covered, but he still insisted: "This is Jiulianhuan. Even the three-year-old children in the capital know that this is made by my craftsman of Dazhou! Right and wrong are obvious, black and white, There is no room for sophistry!"

With this remark, all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty changed color.

"quibble?"

The white shirt looked indifferent: "None of the civil and military officials in the court has ever denied it. Just based on your family's words, I'm afraid you're not too ignorant. Or—"

The voice of the white shirt paused slightly, and a pair of indifferent eyes stared at Sun Zhuoqing: "Do you think that the civil and martial arts of the Manchu Dynasty are not as good as the three-year-old children of the Dazhou people?"

In a word, Sun Zhuoqing immediately took a step back, and he instantly realized that the enemy this time was far stronger than he imagined, and it was far from an existence that he could save the situation with his courage!

But at this moment, the persecution in his eyes is still there, and he has no intention of shrinking back, so he can only answer!

"I……"

"enough."

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the hall.

The white shirt immediately withdrew his eyes, looked at the empress sitting high on the throne, and said humbly: "Your Majesty, this person is too arrogant, he takes ignorance as a joke, and has ridiculed the civil and military affairs of the court, so this minister has strong feelings and is impulsive." , I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Ji Suxue nodded, looked at Sun Zhuoqing at the side and said, "Bai Qing is right, Sun Yushi made you think about it at home for three days."

Sun Zhuoqing's face was pale, she lowered her head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Ji Suxue looked at the white shirt and said, "Bai Qing, although Sun Yushi was stubborn, it was an unintentional mistake. Now that he has been punished, how about exposing it?"

The white shirt said: "Your Majesty's treatment is fair and lenient, and I will naturally obey."

He straightened up slowly, seemingly inadvertently glanced at Sun Zhuoqing, but his eyes were filled with a triumphant light like a winner.

Sun Zhuoqing lowered her head, her heart was filled with bursts of bitterness, it was because he was too impulsive, which made the empress fall into such a passive situation at this moment.

He could hardly imagine what kind of mood the empress was dealing with this matter at the moment.

The barbarian smiled triumphantly, looked at Ji Suxue and said, "Your Majesty, the disciples of several aristocratic families and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have already proved that this nine-ring lock is indeed the product of my barbarians!"

Ji Suxue said indifferently: "Since I took the throne, I have never left the palace, but I have only heard about the Nine Rings. But since your Dawan Kingdom is called the Nine Rings Lock, it must be different."

The Hu man laughed and said, "That's right, Your Majesty, I wonder if you can unlock the nine-ring lock?"

At this time, the white shirt opened his mouth and said: "The structure of this nine-ring lock is amazing, and it is extremely difficult to solve. I am afraid that no one can solve it on the spot. How about this, give His Majesty one night, and His Majesty will definitely be able to solve it."

"Yeah yeah."

"It will take one night anyway."

All of a sudden, the surrounding ministers spoke out one after another.

Facing the waves of sound, Ji Suxue clenched the Jiulianhuan tightly in her hand.

"Tomorrow, I will definitely untie this ring."

"Retreat!"
