Early in the morning of the second day, Zhou Nan took the finished telescope and followed Cai You and Li Bangyan to the outside of the Vertical Arch Palace.

The ornamentation of the barrel of the telescope has also been carved, wrapped in fine brocade, and placed in an elaborate wooden box.

Cai You and Li Bangyan are worthy of being the henchmen who can rely on their own efforts to create a world around Zhao Ji.

Yesterday at the Dutingyi goldsmith's place, he instructed the craftsman to decorate the telescope, which was not only ornamented, but also inlaid with various gemstones, and made a sandalwood box, and wrapped the telescope in the brocade and put it in.

It's almost written on the outside of the sandalwood box

"The world's most treasured" four words. Cai You and Li Bangyan instructed Zhou Nan two sentences, and then entered the palace to participate in the court meeting.

Zhou Nan stood outside holding the wooden box by himself. Looking into the hall from the outside, one can only see a group of people in green, red, and purple official uniforms lining up in two columns in the main hall, saluting, and standing on either side.

It's just that the voice inside is not very clear, presumably there is nothing to do today, just a routine court meeting.

Because soon there will be chamberlains coming out of the palace, Xuan

"The Liao State horse enters the temple to face the saint." Zhou Nan immediately walked towards the hall with the wooden box, and the forbidden army standing outside the palace gate immediately stopped Zhou Nan and stretched out his hand to Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the guards were going to check the wooden box in their hands. Zhou Nan handed the wooden box over, and the guard opened the wooden box, and saw that although the wooden box was a strange cylinder, it was not a blade, so he handed the wooden box back to Zhou Nan.

After Zhou Nan went to the hall, he held the wooden box and bowed to Zhao Ji who was sitting on the dragon chair above, only to hear Zhao Ji say on it: "The two embassy envoys just said that the horse has a treasure to offer, I don't know what kind of treasure it is?" Zhou Nan held the wooden box with both hands and said: "There are treasures in the box, called telescopes, and the things in the distance are as they are now." One of the chamberlains came down the steps, approached, took the wooden box, and turned back to the pedestal.

Another attendant opened the wooden box, took out the telescope in Wenjin and handed it to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji took it and looked at it over and over in his hand, but he didn't know how to use it.

Zhou Nan hurriedly said: "His Majesty the Emperor put the thin neck close to his eyes, put the thick neck towards the far end, and pushed the two barrels with both hands, which can be understood. Zhao Ji quickly understood the use of the telescope, and couldn't put it down and held the telescope to look into the distance, and laughed excitedly from time to time.

The ministers standing under the pedestal, except for Cai You and Li Bangyan, were all a little inexplicable. Zhao Ji held the telescope and suddenly said loudly: "Chen Qing is the third in the back row in Zhu Yi?" A man in a vermilion official robe near the gate of the hall below pointed his finger to the wat board and replied respectfully, "The minister is none other than Chen Shiju. ”

"Chen Qing, the black veil on the straight foot on the left side of your head is broken." Zhao Ji said with a telescope to this minister named Chen Shiju.

Chen Shiju thought that Zhao Ji suddenly asked him, maybe he thought of him on a whim and wanted to promote him, but Zhao Ji said that a straight-legged black gauze in his hat was broken, so frightened that Chen Shiju hurriedly took off the straight-legged head, and sure enough, there was a black gauze on it, revealing the wood-colored skeleton inside.

Chen Shiju hurriedly bowed down and said, "The monarch is out of order, and the minister is guilty." The imperial historian who participated in the court meeting in the palace immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Shiju, the living man, despises the saint and does not practice etiquette, and the minister begs him to be punished for three months!" ”

"Hehe, I'm not a tyrant, a little damage on my hat must not have been intentional on Chen Qing's part. I just have a treasure in my hand, and I saw it with curiosity. Chen Qing's hat foot is broken, and there is no need to be harsh. Zhao Ji put down the telescope in his hand and said with a smile.

Seeing that Zhao Ji didn't pursue it, the imperial historian naturally retreated to the team. Chen Shiju is even more connected

"Your Majesty Shengming", trembling and retreating from the team.

"General Zhou, this treasure is indeed as far as it is in front of you. It's just that the telescope is bland and straightforward, so it's better to call it

"Clairvoyant mirror", a thousand miles of view, haha! Zhao Ji stroked the telescope in his hand and said to Zhou Nan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving the name of the treasure." Zhou Nan saw that Zhao Ji liked the telescope very much, and was about to take this opportunity to ask Zhao Ji about opening the border market with each other, when he suddenly saw a person in a purple court dress at the front of the right column stand up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this Liao people don't know where to find this strange thing to charm Your Majesty." When you know something strange, there must be a cause for it. The son is silent and manages the chaos, which is the reason. Please don't indulge in this, Your Majesty. ”

"General Zhou, why can this clairvoyant mirror have such a miracle and be able to see the far end clearly?" Although Zhao Ji likes telescopes, he is also very curious about telescopes.

As soon as he saw the golden hair, Zhou Nan couldn't help but curse in his heart. However, if you want to blame these people, you can only blame these people for not studying mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and when they encounter something they don't understand, they are all weird.

However, this time, I really can't explain why the telescope can see distant objects as if they were close to them.

"Your Majesty!" Li Bangyan stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that that day, the Daoist Master of the True Dao Dynasty went straight to the Zichen Palace, claiming that he had come to find a fellow Daoist. And the Taoist friend that Lin Daoshi said is this General Zhou. Zhao Ji didn't know what Li Bangyan meant by this, so he nodded and waited for Li Bangyan to continue.

"General Zhou is a Taoist friend of Master Lin, and he must also know some immortal techniques, and this clairvoyant mirror must be one of the immortal arts! Since it is an immortal art, His Majesty can rest assured, and he can even take it with him to get rid of demons. Li Bangyan actually said that the telescope had a special effect of subduing demons and eliminating demons, and he was serious.

This made Zhou Nan speechless: What kind of mess is this?! With these people, it is strange that the Northern Song Dynasty can persist for more than a hundred years without finishing the game.

"Exactly!" Zhou Nan didn't care about popularizing science for these people, and hurriedly followed Li Bangyan's words and said: "It is not easy to refine this treasure. His Majesty's treasury only selected six crystals, and only sixteen crystals were solved, which were arranged according to the yin and yang gossip, so they were divided into two pieces; There are eight more hedrons in each section. Ordinary people use this thing, but they can see from afar; If you are a person with a long-cherished root, after you have successfully cultivated your qi and built a foundation, you can use this treasure to find a path to immortality. Zhou Nan stood up and listed all the words he could think of about yin and yang, gossip, and cultivating immortals, and talked eloquently, regardless of whether others believed it or not.

"It turns out that it is really a treasure of the fairy family! I want to reward General Zhou again! Zhao Ji said happily, and he didn't know if Zhao Ji really believed it, or if he was just taking it as the emperor's new clothes.

"Your Majesty, this Liao people are talking nonsense. Your Majesty can't believe it! Seeing that Zhao Ji wanted to reward Zhou Nan, Wang Hao immediately spoke out to stop him.
