During this short period of time, there were many small voices and movements coming from below, and the people on the left and right of the seat spoke and whispered to each other from time to time.
Because it is a banquet, it will never be as serious as the court.
The emperor above did not change his face, but he may not be really happy in his heart.
Those people in Yan Kingdom are also smart, if their princes said these words, it would be overstepping the rules, even if the emperor pulled his face down on the spot, no one dared to say anything, but the one who said these words was a princess, a teenage girl, Can the majestic king of a country argue with a junior? Once you care about it, others will say that you are petty and ungrateful, and if you spread it more widely, you may even say that such a person is unbearable to be a king.
So at this time, even if the emperor is not feeling well, he can only smile and say loudly, "And it's some kind of rare treasure, let me see it too."
Princess Yan stood up from her seat, and first bowed to the emperor.
Then he ordered the left and right to pass the message, and asked people to carry the things up.
Soon two servants came up carrying a large wooden box.
Then, Princess Yan stepped forward in person, opened the lid of the wooden box, and asked the servants to take out the thing inside and put it on the wooden box lid.
At this time, let people see the true face of Mount Lu inside.
It was a beast shaped like a lion, and its material was like gold and not gold and copper and not copper.
The lion's eyes are as big as bells, and a ball of the same material is contained in its wide open mouth.
"What's so special about this thing? Or is there some mystery?"
Someone asked.
Then I heard a lot of muttering voices below, all of them were watching and guessing.
It's just that no one sees what it is.
Before Princess Yan could answer, someone immediately echoed and asked, "That's right, Princess Liuyue, since it's called a treasure, there must be something bright about it, or is it priceless?" The title of this Yan Kingdom princess.
Just such a thing that looks like a lion is not enough to make these people look sideways at it.
Even if the emperor doesn't like Princess Liuyue, he won't show the slightest bit on his face, but he is more and more dissatisfied with the other party's grandstanding behavior.
In essence, this is a cautious and suspicious king, and he is the last thing to want to have things out of his control.
And now Princess Liuyue deliberately made this confusing thing, which annoyed His Majesty very much.
The empress was worthy of being the emperor's bedside person, and she could roughly guess what the majesty was thinking.
But right now, I can only go along with the words.
So the queen spoke up, and said slowly: "What is it, Princess Liuyue might as well explain a thing or two to everyone."
Princess Liuyue was very satisfied that everyone's eyes were on her.
The queen had already spoken, so she didn't continue to play tricks, but walked in front of the lion-like beast, facing the two people behind God.
Then he stretched out his hand and touched the beast's eyes, only to hear the sound of grunting.
It turned out that the two eyes of the lion-like beast rolled up.
Then, the princess moved the ball in the lion-like beast's mouth again, and the ball in the mouth could also move.
Everyone became more and more curious.
Then Princess Liuyue explained with a smile, saying that this lion-like beast itself is not a very precious thing, what is precious is the things hidden in its body.
"This thing is actually a mechanism lock. The keyhole is on these three balls. There should be a pattern engraved on these three balls. You just need to find the correct numbers on the three balls. , the mechanism on the chest of this lion-like beast will be matched, and the head will be opened, and then you can get the things inside."
As for what is inside, I don't know, but this mechanism lock has indeed attracted everyone's attention.
No wonder before, Princess Yan mainly said that there are so many talented men and women in Daye who are very talented and knowledgeable.
She praised her words in advance, if no one in Daye can unlock the mechanism lock, it would be a joke.
Li Cheng thought to himself, the people from Yanguo really didn't have any good intentions, and they weren't any fuel-efficient lamps.
The emperor was still calm and tolerant, and asked: "Where did you get this treasure? Could it be made by the skilled craftsmen of Yan Kingdom? If you have such an ingenious idea, it should be a great reward."
The triumphant look in Princess Liuyue's eyes almost burst out.
He still wanted to talk, but at this moment, King Yan stood up with his palms together in salute, took the conversation, and said: "Young sister is young and energetic, I hope the emperor will forgive me."
The emperor said, "It doesn't matter."
After that, the prince explained the origin of this object, saying that this object was not made by some skilled craftsman, but was obtained in a secret forest cave five years ago.
I'm afraid it was left by the predecessors, but it is impossible to test which dynasty it came from.
As soon as he said this, one of the Daye officials sitting below immediately grabbed his feet, and immediately asked: "My lord said that something was dug out, so how can it be said that it must be a treasure? But if it is something powerful As for the organ technique, wouldn’t it be dangerous for my pilgrimage to be sent by Yan Kingdom?”
This is a very serious thing to say, murdering the emperor would be punishable.
This is to provoke disputes between the two countries.
King Yan immediately pleaded guilty to Emperor Daye when he heard about it, and explained: "Your Majesty sees it clearly, how dare I destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries, but in fact there were two of these things when they were dug up, both of which looked like lions and beasts, one male and one Mother, the mother's one has no mechanism, only a mortise and tenon is buckled, and a pair of ancient famous utensils, dragon and phoenix daggers are hidden in the belly after opening. The other is locked, so it is guessed that this locked one will only There are more precious treasures."
When he said the dragon and phoenix dagger, there was already a gasp sound from below, and some people questioned it.
Dragon and phoenix daggers have only appeared in literature records, but they have never been heard of in this world.
Lord Yan had expected this reaction, and immediately asked his confidant to take the dragon and phoenix dagger.
The dagger was housed in a black ebony box, and the dagger inside was exposed after being punched.
After taking it out, a dazzling white light flashed, and all the people who looked at the dragon and phoenix dagger were dazzled by the light for a moment.
It turns out that the sharpness of the blade is beyond comparison.
The reason why it is called the dragon and phoenix dagger is because the blade is engraved with a dragon and a phoenix.
The appearance is also simple and atmospheric, not like ordinary vulgar things. Then the prince once again demonstrated the power of these two things, and why they were passed down as world-famous sharp weapons.
If a person cuts iron like mud, blows hair and hair, the things he touches will not be cut continuously.
The eyes of those who like such weapons are brightened.
However, such a powerful weapon can't damage the lion like beast.
Not to mention the officials sitting here, even the emperor, his eyes burst out with interest.
Now everyone understands that this thing is indeed a good thing, not to mention what good things are inside, but this invulnerable material is also considered a treasure.
But why did Yan Kingdom give such a good thing to Daye
I didn't hear from Lord Yan that it's been five years since I got this thing, but I still can't get the mechanism lock, which shows that it's a formidable one.
The prince sighed and replied: "I have always known that there were many talents in the Great Ye Dynasty. I have only one request to dedicate the treasure of my Yan Guosheng to His Majesty. If it is unlocked, this thing is His Majesty's. Just watch it together with it, if you can't untie it, please let me take it back to Yan Kingdom in a month later."
As soon as these words came out, there was another moment of silence.
However, the emperor had no reason to refuse at all.
Such an unmysterious treasure originally came from Yan Kingdom, who would be willing to give it up
And the people of Yan Kingdom can play this game, probably because they believe that no one in the Great Ye Dynasty can unlock this mechanism in a month.
If it can't be untied, Gu Baowu will be taken back as usual for a month, outsiders will think that it is useless for the Great Ye Dynasty, and they will not be able to keep the treasure in front of them.
The emperor's heart tossed and turned, and he only felt that there was a puff of breath trapped in his chest.
But he couldn't get angry yet, and couldn't lose his dignity in front of foreign envoys.
After slowly breathing down, His Majesty the Emperor responded with a smile.
On the other end, Prince Yan and Princess also smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
Gu Qingci didn't understand what official tone was in it, but pulled down Li Chengze's sleeve on the table, and whispered, "Sir, can you still give the treasure like this? If you can't untie it, can you take it back?"
Li Cheng squeezed her palm, shook his head and said in a low voice, "Silly girl, this is not called presenting treasure."
But no more to say.
Only when one country is strong and one country is weak can we talk about the word "devotion", but the current strength of Yan Kingdom is no longer inferior to that of the Great Ye Dynasty. It is no longer a weak and small country that needs to be dependent on others, so it is naturally full of confidence.
And the Great Ye Dynasty did not have the confidence to fight against the Yan Kingdom. Besides, the war between the two countries was not a trivial matter, and it was always the common people who suffered in the war.
Today's singing and dancing feast, no matter how beautiful it was, did not leave an impression in everyone's minds, and they were all occupied by the treasure sent by Yan Kingdom.
After the banquet, everyone left the palace by themselves.
Gu Qingci found an opportunity to talk to Liu Shuyue for a few words, and then they separated and went back to their respective homes.
It's not Gu Qingci's turn to worry about the treasure, but the Cuju competition is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and the venue will be arranged in a large venue in the suburbs of Beijing.
Gu Qingci was chattering about what happened just now in the carriage, asking if the emperor was angry, why the people of Yan Kingdom were so bold.
Li Cheng laughed: "Our sixth girl is also bold, peeking at Sheng Yan, and then peeking at the Yan Wang Ye, is there something wrong with my husband?"
"How can there be..." Gu Qingci denied it with a guilty conscience, and then said with a straight face, "I'm talking serious, my husband always talks about other things."
She just wanted to say something, and before anyone could answer, she talked about something else.
"Sir, have you seen the mechanism lock clearly just now? I don't know how that thing is made. Is it really so powerful that the people of Yan Kingdom haven't opened that thing in five years?"
Li Cheng said: "It's not easy to get them to show their hands. We are far away and don't see what kind of lock it is. Yan Guo brought such an important thing, maybe it's not just for calculation. The Great Ye Dynasty probably hid some thoughts of coming here to find skilled craftsmen, and wanted to bring them back to their Yan Kingdom."
Gu Qingci: "Maybe if you don't have the strength, the thing will be broken."
Li Cheng was not as silly and sweet as his little girl, and laughed, "How can it be so easy, unless you are lucky enough to be able to say a clever word." But this mysterious and mysterious thing can't be forced.
"Miss Liu, let me remind you for my husband, you should put more thought into your Cuju competition, and have a good idea in mind, if you lose, don't cry." Li Cheng raised his eyebrows and said lazily.
Gu Qingci blushed with anger, rushed over to beat him, and hummed softly.
Li Cheng coughed, sat down with his arms around him, said, "There are no rules." Then he said, "The outsiders have heard it, Miss Six is not afraid of losing face today?"
Miss Six gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare to shout anymore.
