Chapter 156: The Stars Turn the Tide (I)
Two days later, the emperor was flamed. Lan Xue held a funeral according to the specifications of a superior general. The emperor even required all officials above the fourth rank to attend the funeral, and they must also wear white clothes to show respect for the deceased! The emperor even agreed for the first time that Qin'er could also wear white clothes to attend the funeral, and the emperor was afraid that the ministers would discuss this unreasonable law, so he told the ministers the truth. Lan Xue is indeed a member of this Qingping constellation, so she is on the flames. Lan Xue is equivalent to the queen's own brother, so there is nothing wrong with the queen wearing white. The ministers saw that the emperor's remarks were justified, so no one dared to comment on this matter anymore.
After the funeral, Qin'er took Po'er and Gesang's family of three to leave the palace together, and they lived together in the courtyard where Qin'er, the first mansion, lived before leaving the pavilion. Although the emperor was unhappy with Qin'er's approach, he did not try to stop it. Because the emperor thinks that Qin'er's move is a test for himself, not a test for the queen to the emperor, but a test for Qin'er for Brother Cheng!
The emperor was upset that the captives of the Iron Elephant Kingdom had been turned into stone men by the little demons. In the early days of the court, the ministers also expressed their helplessness on this matter. Just when everything was not going well, the ambassador of the Iron Elephant Country came to the Purple Sun Kingdom on the order of the Emperor of the Iron Elephant Country!
Out of diplomatic courtesy, the emperor received the ambassador of the Iron Elephant Kingdom in the early dynasty. The ambassadors of the Iron Elephant Kingdom presented the emperor with a letter of condemnation from their emperor, and after the emperor read the letter, he was furious in the court!
The emperor shouted loudly: "This ambassador, you go back and tell your emperor that the content of his letter is completely reversed, and his purpose is nothing more than to provoke trouble, put some non-existent things on the head of our Ziyang Kingdom, let the surrounding countries carry out so-called criticism of our country, and let me become a public enemy under the pressure of public opinion!" How poisonous is this intention! ”
Seeing that the emperor was so excited, the ambassador of the Iron Elephant Kingdom sneered a few times and said, "Your Majesty, the villain dares to ask you a few words, do you dare to answer me?" ”
After listening to what the ambassador said, the emperor already knew what the other party wanted to ask, and at the same time realized that the other party was well prepared, and even the ambassador may have been ready to be beheaded, and the other party's every move was deliberately provoking himself, making him lose his mind and act excessively. Thinking of this, the emperor has decided that he can't let the other party's conspiracy succeed, how can he, as the dignified king of a country, let the other party lead the way? You should change the way and let the other party mess up first!
The emperor suddenly laughed and said to the ministers: "Everyone, if I can't answer this ambassador's question for a while, won't I lose face." So I decided that any of you could volunteer to answer the ambassador's questions on my behalf? ”
Shouzun was about to be listed, but he saw with his spare eyes that Rushi seemed to have the intention of being out of the ranks. The first figure can pinch and calculate, and he has calculated the mystery of this, so he stood still and decided to wait and see.
Rushi took two steps forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although the minister is dull, the minister is willing to answer the questions raised by the ambassador for you." If there is any omission in the minister's answer, please add one or two for me. ”
The ambassador was shocked to hear that it was a woman. He subconsciously looked back at Rushi, and his heart was amazed, there was such a beautiful woman in this world, and she appeared in the court!
The emperor said softly: "Imperial sister, you come to answer, I am ten thousand at ease!" Ambassador, if you have any questions, just ask! My sister doesn't have a good temper, and she may not be willing to answer your question after a while! ”
"In that case," the ambassador said. Then I'm going to ask. I dare to ask this girl, do you know that a group of people from my Iron Elephant Kingdom who came to visit relatives in your Ziyang Kingdom were detained by your country for no reason and turned these people into elephants? ”
Rushi replied with a smile: "I can't answer about this matter, but now outside this hall, there is a group of people who can answer your question very well." I wonder if you'd like to hear their answers! ”
The ambassador listened to Rushi's answer, and his heart was full of doubts. And vaguely feel that something is wrong. The ambassador smiled and said, "This girl, why do you ask someone else to answer your first question for you!" It's better for you to answer me personally! ”
As soon as the ambassador's words fell, a group of people rushed in from the entrance of the main hall. This group of people, all wearing the unique national costumes of the Iron Elephant Country, ran around the ambassador at great speed one by one, and surrounded the ambassador in the middle!
The emperor laughed and said to the group: "Brothers who have just entered the Iron Elephant Country, don't get excited! Say whatever you have to say. Let this ambassador also die to understand! ”
The tallest person in this group said, "Your Majesty, we are actually not residents of the Iron Elephant Country who have come to visit relatives in this Purple Sun Country. Moreover, our emperor sent me to take advantage of the so-called competition between my country and your country to make a sneak attack. This plan to divert the tiger from the mountain was devised by the ambassador of our country. As soon as we arrived in your country, we were caught by the officers and men stationed there. So we were taken captive. But the emperor did not treat us harshly, but arranged three meals a day very richly, and treated us warmly. So we decided to be honest with you as well, and told all of the Emperor's plot to your subordinates. But who knows, we were all turned into stone people by a group of demons one night. ”
The ambassador shouted, "I don't know you, you are all from the Purple Sun Country. It's just that I put on the costume of my Iron Elephant Country and pretend to be a member of the Iron Elephant Country! It's ridiculous! The ability to make up stories is really the pinnacle! ”
The emperor did not pay attention to the ambassador's words, but said to the tall man who had just spoken: "Brother, since you have been turned into stone people, who turned you back into human form?" ”
The tall man glanced back at Rushi, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said with some excitement: "Your Majesty, it was the benefactors led by this girl who saved us and turned us back into human form!" ”
The ambassador was loud, and he shouted to the emperor: "The villain dares to ask the emperor, this big man keeps saying that the little demons have turned into stone people, have the little demons been caught?" If there is no evidence, this big man is just a fool! I can really make it up! Little demons, there are no little demons in this world at all, is this burly man a three-year-old kid to tease me? ”
Rushi said loudly: "Mr. Ambassador, don't worry! These little demons will be here in a moment! ”
