006. Difficult (new book for recommendation votes)
When the Shangguan female official saw the Son of Heaven in front of her, she frowned again, and she was already terrified to the extreme in her heart.
Oh, my God! What am I talking about! I even said that His Majesty was rubbing his breasts!
The female officer of Shangguan hurriedly knelt down again, stretched her hands forward, fell to the ground, and shouted in a panic:
"The servant girl should not talk nonsense, Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"
After she finished shouting like this, she did not usher in the imaginary anger of the Son of Heaven, but was silent for a moment in the room, and then heard the Son of Heaven say:
"You go on, and then what."
The female official raised her head slightly, and saw the Son of Heaven sitting in front of her with her back to the bronze mirror, with no sadness or joy on her face.
Only then did she cautiously tell all the things that happened yesterday.
The Son of Heaven just sat quietly and listened, and when the Shangguan lady said about the toilet for half an hour, he asked:
"Half an hour in the bathroom? Aren't you there? What am I doing? ”
Then when he was talking about bathing, he asked again:
"Bathing? Me? ”
I don't know if it's my own delusion, the look of the Son of Heaven - quite strange.
Speaking of this, it took an hour.
Wu Zhi had already guessed from the words of the female official that most of the "dreams" he thought yesterday were true!
Yesterday, my body, indeed, was occupied by another stranger.
I just don't know who the person in the body is, and now it's still gone, could it be the man I possessed yesterday?
Why did I do this? Whose body did I occupy yesterday? Am I really sick?
"Your Majesty."
Just when Wu Zhi was guessing in his heart, outside the Taiji Palace, the voice of another palace maid came:
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister asked Xiao Huangmen to say, Your Majesty Dragon is overworked, and you must take care."
When Wu Zhi heard this, he understood the true meaning of the prime minister.
The officials have been waiting for an hour, and the court can't be opened this morning, so they have to say something. Wu Pheasant really wanted to ask in detail, after all, he didn't seem to have done anything serious yesterday......
But government affairs cannot be left behind.
"Shangguan Shanggong and get up, only you know about today's affairs, and you don't need to let the third person know, as for the palace maids and eunuchs who were in front of the palace yesterday, you also talk to them, don't talk too much."
After Wu Zhi finished speaking, the female official Shangguan breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Wu Zhi say again:
"Let's go, go to court."
"No."
………………
Outside the Xuanzheng Palace, hundreds of officials have been waiting for a long time.
Just when everyone thought that the Son of Heaven was going to cancel the early dynasty again, the Son of Heaven had already arrived.
The eunuch in front of the emperor said loudly, "The Son of Heaven is here!" In the shout, Wu Zhi walked into the Xuanzheng Palace.
Under the leadership of the prime minister, all the ministers in the palace saluted, and then took their seats one after another, in an orderly manner.
Yesterday, he did not go to the early court, nor did he meet with the ministers, whether there was any urgent matter in the court, whether there were natural and man-made disasters in various parts of the world, Wu Zhi did not know.
It is estimated that there will be a bit more of things in the morning today.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what needs to be discussed today, even if you say it."
After Wu Zhi finished speaking as usual, he saw the Ministry of Rites Shangshu take a step forward and said:
"Your Majesty, the congratulatory gifts from all over the country to celebrate His Majesty's accession to the throne have been shipped to Kyoto, and the ministers have finished counting. The northern and southern barbarians, the western and eastern empires, and the countries of the four directions have also sent envoys one after another to celebrate His Majesty's accession to the throne. ”
This is naturally a good thing, which shows that Da Zhou has won the hearts of the people. Wu Zhi, the emperor, is also justified and very legitimate.
Before Wu Zhi could speak, he listened to the book of the Ministry of Rites, and continued with some embarrassment:
"It's just a gift from the Tibetan envoys, and he didn't give it to the ministers, but said ......"
The Ministry of Rites bowed down and said:
"He said that the king of Tubo had instructed him to send it to His Majesty in person in the palace in order to show his solemnity."
After the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, the surrounding officials began to discuss.
"What does that mean?"
"I'm afraid it's not good."
"When the former emperor crusaded against the Western Turks, it was also behind this Tibetan obstruction, and the first emperor had to give up."
"I'm afraid this Tubo is a wolf's ambition."
"But if you don't accept the gift of Tibet and spread it, I'm afraid it will be ......."
"Indeed, others still say that we are Da Zhou, and they are afraid that he will Tubo."
After the ministers discussed, they felt that it was just a gift, and he still dared to stab the Tibetan envoys?
Nothing to be afraid of.
See!
Wu Zhi also thinks so, she is the empress, and she should be tougher in order to convince the public.
The emperor and the ministers had no opinion, and the Tibetan envoy was announced.
I saw that the Tibetan envoy was wearing a jacket, and he looked very different from the Central Plains. Behind him was a Tibetan man with a small boxy box in his hand.
The outside of the box was bare, and there were no handles or keyholes in sight.
The Tibetan envoy walked to the bottom of the steps of the Xuanzheng Palace, saluted respectfully to Wu Zhi on the steps, and said aloud in fluent Chinese:
"The Tibetan envoy Tashi Baren, on behalf of our king, congratulates the new emperor of the Great Zhou on his succession!"
"No courtesy."
Wu Zhi, who was expressionless, raised his hand and said:
"I heard that Tubo Zampu wants you to personally send a gift to me, what kind of gift is so solemn, is that box?"
The Tibetan envoy smiled, turned around and took the box in his hand, then raised it above his head, turned around again, and showed it to the officials, and then said:
"The gifts I brought this time are very valuable, and they have been carefully selected by my king. In order to avoid loss or theft, my king made a heavenly lock. You may not know it, but my king likes to study small things in his daily life. This heavenly machine lock is also researched by my king in his spare time, and this heavenly machine lock is naturally one of the gifts, but as an envoy, I am not qualified to know the method of opening this heavenly machine lock, and my talent is limited, dull, and I can't open this heavenly machine lock. Therefore, you can only bring gifts with a chain. I heard that the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Hui Zhi Lanxin, is diligent and thrifty, has long hair and knowledge, and invites the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to open the lock of this heavenly machine in person. ”
As soon as he said this, the faces of the hundred officials at that time were wrong, and Wu Zhi's face was even more pale.
Everyone knows that the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a woman, and the idioms spoken by the Tibetan envoys are all to describe women, and what kind of hair is long and knowledgeable, what does this mean?
Give a gift and return the entire Tianji lock, and let the Great Zhou Tianzi personally disassemble it for you?
Unraveled, my Great Zhou Tianzi is incomparably smart, and everyone is happy. But I can't solve it, do you want to mock me Da Zhou Tianzi, as a woman, with long hair and short knowledge?
Is this a gift, or is it a problem?
Many ministers were already full of indignation, but the prime minister quickly stood up and said:
"The envoy may not know, my Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has a noble status, and there has never been a practice of opening gifts casually.
As soon as he said this, the Tibetan envoy also smiled:
"In that case, please feel free."
Seeing that the Tibetan envoys agreed so easily, many people still felt that the Tibetan envoys either got off the donkey down the slope or were too confident.
Then several ministers volunteered to open the heavenly lock, which was a great opportunity to perform in front of the new emperor.
It doesn't matter if you don't open it, there are still people in the back who can make up for it, but if you open it, it will be a meritorious service.
But more than a dozen people in a row failed to open the heavenly machine lock. The ministers were pulling and pulling, and this ordinary little box turned out to be unmoving!
Wu Zhi's face became more and more ugly.
Seeing that the Tibetan envoy was about to speak again, it must have been cynical, or the prime minister reacted quickly and followed the Tibetan envoy.
"Today's court meeting is actually just a small court meeting. The last dynasty is just some old, not very bright ministers. Wait until tomorrow's court meeting, those smart and capable young people are here, and it's not too late to break your heavenly lock. ”
The Tibetan envoy also smiled, took back the gift, and said to Wu Zhi:
"Since that's the case, then I'll retire first, tomorrow morning, and when the adults of the Great Zhou arrive more, I'll come again."
After the Tibetan envoy finished speaking, he swaggered with people and went down with the box. The ministers in the two columns were all pale.
Wu Zhi also had a gloomy face, watching the Tibetan envoys leave the hall. The prime minister stood under His Royal Highness and stopped talking, and everyone was silent.
Today, everyone can't open the lock of this heavenly machine, but tomorrow, it will be opened?
Let the Son of Heaven personally pick the lock?
It's good to say it's open, but what should I do if I can't open it? Can't stand this breath, can't use troops against Tibet? Turks, Huns, what should I do if I take the opportunity to attack?
In the end, I am afraid that I will inevitably be sneered at by the Tibetan envoys, and after thinking about it, everyone is silent.
Wu Zhi also understands the joints, this Tubo envoy is so confident, it is that he has the right lock that day, and no one can open it!
Wu Zhi really wants to draw his sword and cut off this box with a sword!
But she can't......
Wu Zhi looked around, and no minister raised his head to look at her, one by one lowered his head and kept silent.
She didn't say anything more, got up with her sleeves, and walked towards the outside of the hall, leaving only a cold voice echoing in the Xuanzheng Palace:
"Retreat."
