Chapter 225: Unraveling
Ye Zhenzhen, the nine-link thing, stopped playing when she was ten years old, and she didn't have a solution to see the big guys, but she wasn't in a hurry, anyway, she came to see the excitement today, not to show off.
Nangong Mu looked at this thing, played with it in his hand and passed it to Nangong Hui, and the brothers frowned, and they didn't think of a solution.
The air was very quiet, and the envoys of Ula did not know whether they were watching the excitement or looking for trouble.
Although they didn't show a wanton smile, the snickering joy in their eyes really shouldn't be stopped.
No wonder until now, you can only rely on harmony to solve the problem! What can such a mind and stomach do?
The Ula Kingdom had reached an agreement with the Qing Kingdom five years earlier, and the tribute was paid every year. It's just that in the past two years, Qingguo's power has become stronger and stronger, which has made the surrounding countries feel the atmosphere of danger.
If you want to take advantage of this peaceful era to be able to get a good relationship between Qin and Jin, then it can be regarded as a good thing, at least give the Ula country a time to grow.
"Qingguo is full of talents, can't even this little nine links be unraveled?"
Although the Ula Kingdom came to marry the princess this time, the terms of the tribute must also be modified. These nine rings can be regarded as the disadvantage they brought.
"None of you people in Ullah have unraveled this thing, even if we have supernatural powers, it will take some time."
Nangong Mu looked at the other party's people with dignity, and said without humility or arrogance, take out the demeanor of a great country, it's not that we can't do it, it's just to observe how you play with this thing?
"What His Highness said is very reasonable, but it's not a way to go on like this, why don't we time it?"
"Oh? Adults, please speak. ”
"We have a time limit of three incense sticks, if you can unravel these nine links in the fastest way, my Ula Kingdom will withdraw the last three clauses, if you can't untie them, you have to agree to these last three clauses, how about it?"
So they were waiting for them here? The last three most important terms listed by Ula Kingdom this time refer to the use of Lin Shuicheng as Princess Yunmeng's residence in Qingguo.
And Lin Shuicheng was divided into Qingguo when the Ula Kingdom was defeated and the land was ceded and the compensation was paid.
This kind of voting method is unheard of and unseen, and the emperor will definitely not allow this clause if he is not allowed by the family.
They are willing to use harmony as a bond of friendship, but why should they give them the city?
"I never thought that Princess Yunmeng would have such a great charm, and that a city would have to be located to become a lottery head!"
Nangong Hui said sourly on the side, the mockery in his tone, it was obvious that it was simply a villain's act for the Ula Kingdom to take advantage of people's danger on top of this state banquet!
They could disagree at all, because there was no reason for this, and there was no reason to pay for a city for this unknown princess.
But as a big country, they must have the proper demeanor in order to be considered a state of etiquette.
"Princess Yunmeng is the first beauty in the Ula country, and she has the name of a talented woman, she is indeed worthy of this city, in this case, you Aiqing should not let me down!"
"If anyone can unravel these nine links, then I promise him a condition."
Princess Yunmeng stood on top of the hall dressed in red, and did not have any ups and downs in her expression for what everyone said, and always maintained a faint smile.
seems to be unfazed, and he is not interested in these things, but he reveals an unruly temperament.
Ye Zhenzhen hesitated, although she was unwilling to be in the limelight, she definitely couldn't let this city go into the hands of others.
The time for the two sticks of incense has passed, and everyone is thinking about how to unravel the Nine Rings.
There was still time for half a pillar of incense, and while everyone was not paying attention, he quietly told Qingju next to him and asked him to find a way to go to Nangong Mu's side and tell him the method.
Before Qingju passed, Nangong Mu stood up and slowly walked to the front of the main hall. The handsome and chic face, the calm and calm pace, can't help but make people look sideways.
Moreover, in this case, the people who appeared were all with their own halos, and everyone's eyes revealed a light of admiration.
The ministers present knew that if they didn't think of a solution today, when the time came, the emperor would come to them to settle accounts, and no one would be able to run away at that time.
People say that there is a tall man on top of the sky when the sky falls, but in their position, they are like a tiger, and every step is like walking on thin ice, and the eldest prince can be regarded as saving them from fire and water.
Nangong Mu walked in front of the person and put the nine rings in his hand, only to see his bony fingers wrap the first two rings of the nine rings together from the front end of the handle and put them down from the middle seam of the handle, so as to untie the first ring and the second ring.
And so on, continue to unravel these nine links.
The time of the half-pillar incense passed quickly, and Nangong Mu's speed was already very fast, at least before the incense burned out, all the nine links were unraveled.
The crowd erupted in thunderous applause.
The envoy's face is not very good-looking, and only the national teacher can untie it in the country of Ula in the Nine Rings, but it took half a month, and today I took this thing out, purely to reduce trouble, and to exchange a little benefit for my country.
But I didn't expect to be slapped in the face like this, and my mind moved. The words of the national teacher before leaving.
"It seems that this bet is going to be disappointed."
"Your Majesty the Emperor, what we are talking about is the fastest way to solve the Nine Links, but although the Great Prince has solved it, it is not the fastest way."
"What do you mean, Lord Jiang?"
Nangong Mu asked the envoy, his face revealing that he was puzzled, just now he did say that he would use the time of three incense sticks to untie this thing, but they also said that no one in their country could untie this thing.
Now it is said that there are other fastest solutions to this thing, and it looks like it is coming to find fault.
"It's not like I'm talking nonsense, but my national teacher told me, I don't know if everyone here has any other way?"
Ye Zhenzhen has been hiding it, because she wants to let these capable people, the backbone of the country's ministers, go out of the limelight, and the method that Nangong Mu thought of is already the most clever method in the field.
But the other party has already said such things, that is, it is obvious that they have left a back hand, so it is better to take this opportunity to use their strength to see how they step down.
She walked up calmly, now that she has been made the county lord, she naturally wants to do her best for the country.
Bowed in a proper manner.
"What other way does Ning Anke have?"
The emperor's tone was flat, as if he didn't attach importance to this matter, creating an appearance of not being in a hurry. But the light emanating from the bottom of her eyes allowed her to capture it thoroughly.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her, this county lord who usually does not appear in front of everyone, was just a famous talented woman in the market with a poem.
The rest of them don't have any real evidence, but by the way, it seems that they still know how to do business, and there are a few shops in Kyoto.
But that doesn't mean she can mess around at this state banquet.
"Just now the adult said that he wanted the fastest way, so why don't the adults restore the nine links first, and then the little woman will answer?"
Ye Zhenzhen just wanted to make it a little difficult for the other party, and she really wanted to laugh when she saw the other party's pale face, but she still held back.
"The foreign minister will not dismantle the method of merger, it is better to let the eldest prince come, since it can be unraveled just now, it will definitely be restored now."
This shameless one! I spit in my heart.
Nangong Mu did not hesitate, Ye Zhenzhen was able to stand up to prove that she was confident, and there was still a tacit understanding between the two of them.
The eyes of trust looked at each other, and the bottom of their eyes was full of expectation and appreciation. Ye Zhenzhen took the restored Nine Rings, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she put it in her hand to play with it without hurry.
Everyone's hearts follow her movements, some people believe that this woman may have real talent and learning, otherwise she would not be so bold, and some people think that it is really nonsense!
The people of Ula are even more looking forward to the fact that the woman in front of them can get out of trouble, so that they can have an excuse to complete the next three terms and go back to their lives! It's not in vain, and you get nothing.
"This jade is the best!"
"That's nature, this is jadeite jade light and clear, otherwise impurities."
Yun Meng, who had not opened his mouth for a long time and was watching the excitement on the side, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were no longer indifferent from before, and he didn't care about Ye Zhenzhen's reluctance, why he exuded inexplicable hostility.
She was also surprised that the two of them had no intersection before, how could they suddenly be like this?
But it doesn't matter.
"Your Majesty, Ning An feels a little strange, this nine-chain prince has been unraveled, so the courtier's method is not very good on the stage. If something goes wrong, I hope the emperor won't be surprised. I also hope that the envoys of the Ula Kingdom will not be surprised, after all, the little girl does not have such great talent. ”
Some things are better to say in advance so as not to surprise everyone too much.
"Ning An can do it with confidence, I won't blame it!"
Even if the truth is to blame, it can only be said like this, and in the future, it will be slowly investigated in front of the people of the Ula country, but it is necessary to maintain generosity and decency.
"The county lord, please."
Got the emperor's golden words and the envoys of the Ula country affirmed. Ye Zhenzhen smiled, placed the Nine Rings in her hands and surrounded her, so that everyone could take a closer look and put them in front of the envoys, so that they could confirm that they were correct.
Finally put it in his hand, and with a serious look, he held the nine rings, hanging in the air as if there was no one around.
