"Your Majesty, the products of the Celestial Empire are far superior to my small state of North Korea, and the foreign ministers have admired it for a long time, but they are just ......" Jin Xia Ai wanted to advance again, but he peeked at Zhengde's face and saw that Zhengde's face was cold, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to change his words: "The things offered by the foreign ministers are the treasures of the Korean town, and the emperor Yang of Sui ...... was the emperor of the unenlightened monarch back then."

"Okay, okay, I've heard it several times, you can say something fresh." Although he is young, Zhengde is an old bookworm, and Ma Ang's eloquence and ability to make up stories are much better than those of these two envoys.

"Yes." Ambassador Jin shrank his neck and smacked his tongue in his heart: This new genius of the Ming Dynasty is really not easy to fool, and he can't even beat him, who is known as the first of the eight roads in North Korea, okay, then let's change the way.

"This treasure timing is accurate, a twelve hours, an hour eight quarters, this treasure can be divided into fifteen minutes for each moment, not like the sundial needs to be light, not like the hourglass needs to be taken care of from time to time, the end is wonderful, the biggest feature is convenient and easy to carry! Usually enshrined in the palace of the Joseon king, for the use of the time, now said to be offered, is to show my North Korea's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Ambassador Jin talked about the advantages of pocket watches, and finally said: "In ancient times, Joseon was originally a branch of the Celestial Empire, and it also inherited many divine skills, but there are few that have been handed down, and now only this treasure remains. If the treasure of time given back by the great son of heaven can far exceed this treasure, when he returns to China, the foreign minister will have an explanation. ”

His tone was humble, but the meaning of his words was a little arrogant, and even the courtiers frowned, very dissatisfied: a small vassal country, dare to claim the remnants of Huaxia, and what magic skills to say, really don't know how to do it, if it doesn't happen to take advantage of this opportunity to succeed, how can such a rebellious person tolerate it.

Ma Yongcheng, who was standing in the corner, was shocked, originally he thought that Xie Hong was talking nonsense, but he didn't think that the tone of the North Korean envoy was really not small, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was arrogant. He exclaimed again and again in his heart: No wonder Lord Xie can make the emperor rely on him so much, he even knows the customs and special surnames of foreign vassals, and he is really capable of anything.

Xie Hong is not surprised at all, what is inheritance, this is it. North Korea's humility in the past was only because they had nothing to boast about, and now they picked up a pocket watch out of nowhere and bluffed those civil servants, so it's no wonder that they don't shake it.

And Xie Hong also noticed that the two of them looked at him several times, and it seemed that they saw that the things Jiang Bin was holding were not small, so they added a sentence that was easy to carry, this person not only had a big mouth, but also had a lot of eyes.

Xie Hong understood, Zhengde naturally understood, looking at the things in Jiang Bin's hands, he was also slightly stunned, this thing is so big, it can't be said to be easy to carry anyway?

"Your Majesty, what the envoy said is also reasonable, and the ancestral system of the return is also to reflect the style of my Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty has opened the golden mouth, if it is repeated, I am afraid it will damage the prestige of the Great Tomorrow." The fastest to see the opportunity was Zhang Sheng, who was already standing in the center of the hall, so he immediately bowed down and started playing.

The people in the hall were all smart people, and the courtiers also understood Ambassador Jin's words, and then looked at the big guy in Jiang Bin's hands, and saw that Zhengde, who was originally full of confidence, also showed embarrassment, and everyone was even more imposing, and they didn't even care if the envoys offended the prestige of the Celestial Empire.

After Zhang Sheng, everyone also came out one after another, one said the majesty of the Celestial Empire, and then said that the Son of Heaven Chrysostom, these two meanings were repeatedly mentioned, but they were all quoted from the classics, and they were wonderful.

In short, everyone's opinion is unanimous: unless the treasure brought by Xie Hong can surpass the tribute in terms of timing and carrying, Zhengde will either depose the emperor or expel his close ministers.

The Taihe Hall was in full swing, Jiang Bin was already dumbfounded, although he didn't understand it very well, it didn't prevent him from admiring all the adults, it was so powerful, it seemed that the meaning of what he said was almost the same, but everyone said something different, worthy of being a minister of the court, it was indeed amazing.

Unlike that dirt bun, Xie Hong watched coldly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, did these people think they had won? Wait a minute, don't let the eyeballs fall out.

Zhengde was a little flustered, but he could see Xie Hong's calm appearance, and he also threw a reassuring look at him, so he also settled down, and he was still very confident in this magical big brother.

"Since you Aiqing insist on this, then handle it accordingly."

To say that Zhengde's acting skills are still very good, although he has regained his confidence, he has a flat mouth, with a helpless and aggrieved expression, which is similar to when he is usually forced to make an order by the ministers, and his tone is also very low.

Therefore, most of the ministers are complacent, feeling that they have won the victory of the stage surname again, this result is not big, but the drop of water is piercing, as long as they persevere, the small results will converge into a big victory. Some people also observed Xie Hong's expression, and when they saw that he didn't have a flustered expression, they all felt that he was holding on, and the dead duck was just hard-mouthed, and they didn't take it to heart.

"Your Majesty." Everyone was satisfied, so Zhengde was sanctified again.

"Then Wechen will begin......"

Xie Hong bowed and saluted, then turned his head to signal Jiang Bin, Scarface understood, walked to the center of the hall, under the steps, and put the things in his hand heavily.

"Boom!"

Including the North Korean envoys, everyone was shocked, then delighted, and finally turned into a sneer.

Of course, what is shocked is that this martial artist is out of honor in front of him, he is really close to the ink black, who has what kind of subordinates, now is not the time to care, not to mention that when it comes to loss of honor, who can be greater than Xie Hong?

Of course, I was happy because the box was too heavy, and it could make such a loud noise through a thick carpet, so why talk about carrying? You don't need to look at things to know the winner or loser, and those who are cautious are originally suspicious, but at this time they are also relieved.

All of you are very complacent about your foresight, you are all pinching your beards, bowing your head slightly, and when you look at each other, you can see the smile in each other's eyes: the big thing is decided.

Ambassador Kim was even more proud of his quick opportunity.

The North Korea of this era is different from the sticks of later generations, although they are the same as later generations in their bones, but at this time they really have nothing to do, and their reverence for the Ming Dynasty is even deeper into the bone marrow. Therefore, Rao is that he is very confident in the pocket watch, but after listening to Zhengde's words, Ambassador Jin is still very worried.

He knew very well in his heart that although the pocket watch was good, in addition to Daming's reward, he couldn't get a million taels of silver anywhere! Of course, it is impossible to take all this million home, and you must always express it to relevant people, but even if you go half, there are still 500,000, and North Korea Badao will not be able to collect so much money in a year!

Therefore, it is imperative to give him back. He has the heart of what he will get, but he is worried in his heart, the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles away, and there are endless talented people, who knows if there will be any sudden changes? With this in mind, he said what he had just said.

He knew that the things that kept time in the Ming Dynasty were nothing more than sundials and hourglasses, and the pocket watch was unheard of even by the most knowledgeable bachelors and Jiuqing adults in the Ming Dynasty, at least in terms of timing tools, it should be able to gain the upper hand. For the sake of insurance, he had another idea, and added it to be easy to carry, and now it seems that there is no problem, so ...... Thinking of the one million that was about to arrive, Ambassador Kim's eyes shone green.

Whether proud, or sneering, or worried, under the gaze of various eyes, Xie Hong was not in a hurry, walked slowly to the side of the box, and uncovered the covered cloth.

Well, no matter what mood everyone is in, they are all stunned at this time, and when this thing is covered with cloth, you can see the cage outline, and it is square like a cabinet. As a result, when I opened this, there was nothing mysterious, there were boards on both sides, and there was a door in front of it, and it was really a cabinet!

The light-minded man sneered softly, the thoughtful man frowned, and soon, everyone stopped their breath because they saw Xie Hong slowly open the cabinet door.

Is there really a mystery?

No, if it's small, how can it be packed in such a big cabinet? Ambassador Jin tried his best to comfort himself in his heart, and many courtiers also had similar thoughts to him.

Concerned and confused, these people craned their necks to see what was in the cupboard, but to their disappointment, there was only a clump of white cotton in their eyes, and what was in it was not visible.

Fortunately, Xie Hong didn't sell it, and quickly took out an item from the cotton ball, and then put it on the top of the cabinet.

It is also covered with cloth, but the shape and size can still be seen clearly, and everyone is angry: this thing is not too small, but it is a bit outrageous compared to the cabinet, but what is more than a foot high, is it necessary to use such a large cabinet? That's.

Many people quickly thought of the key place again, this thing is more than a foot high, and it is really not too big; Looking at Xie Hong's ease of handling, it is not heavy to think about it, which is a little troublesome.

"The name of this thing is: pendulum clock, specially designed for timekeeping, and the pocket watch in the tribute has the same magic, but it is far better." Xie Hong introduced it straightforwardly, and when he boasted about his works, he had no intention of being self-conscious.

But at this time, no one cared about his immodesty, and there was no recognized title for the tribute of North Korea, only a strange treasure, which was originally to wait for the dust to settle, and then ask the most famous Confucian, that is, the scholar of the dynasty, to name it.

Xie Hong named it directly at this time, Liu Jian's face sank at the moment, and the other courtiers were also indignant, the scholar did not only represent him, he was the supreme leader of the civil officials, representing the face of the civil officials, and now Xie Hong has stolen the limelight, and everyone is not following him.

"Xie Qianhu, your own work, it doesn't hurt to name it yourself, although the name is nondescript, but the clock and timing are also somewhat related...... "Clock, there is a time to tell the time, it doesn't hurt to name the timing tool, can it be watched...... The questioner sneered slightly, and said: "Forgive the official for being lonely and unheard, the strange treasures in the tribute, Xie Qianhu called it a table, what is the allusion, what is the origin?" ”

Xie Hong raised his eyes and saw that the person who questioned him was dignified, and the official was a white pheasant, but he was a fifth-grade official with the same grade as himself.

"This adult is ......," Xie Hong asked in a relaxed tone.

"This official Qin Tian is supervising Li Yuan!" Qin Tianjian is in charge of observing the celestial phenomena, calculating the solar terms, formulating the calendar, and keeping time, so Li Yuan is also the one who deserves it.

"It turned out to be Lord Li," Xie Hong nodded, his tone suddenly changed, and said: "This official originally thought that Qin Tian Jian Zheng was also a knowledgeable person who knew astronomy and geography, but he didn't want to be so lonely and unheard of. But fortunately, Master Li is still self-aware, and he is still stronger than some people who are the big ones of Yelang. ”
