Fortunately, Xiao Rui was clever and finally got the words back, it's not easy! Sure enough, it verified that sentence, as long as there is more bragging, there are always more ways than difficulties. As for the hostile gaze of the other brothers, who is afraid of who!

When Lao Tzu was playing and masturbating, he pushed the tower horizontally, and he had never seen any formation.

Emperor Xia smiled and glanced at Xiao Rui vaguely, the smile in his eyes was three points thicker.

"Excellent! I didn't mistake you. Emperor Xia smiled: "Just from the level of the little me and the big me, I can see the intentions of King Xian, very good, I am very pleased." Since you are full of confidence, I also want you to excel and get what you want. ”

Another vague threat!

Xiao Rui wanted to roar and yell, my life is up to me, but when the words came to his mouth, he coaxed, so he could only obediently surrender his hand: "Erchen understands." ”

After speaking, Xiao Rui retreated behind the six princes.

Emperor Xia glanced at the full hall of civil and military affairs, and said: "The arrival of the envoys of the Great Yan Kingdom this time is a major event between countries. The Great Yan Kingdom dared to send Princess Linglong to come and have the right to make decisions, all women have such courage, if my prince does not dare to make a big decision, he has to enter the palace to ask for instructions, wouldn't he be laughed at by the Great Yan Kingdom? I was even ridiculed by other nations! Therefore, the prince I have chosen today can not only be fully responsible for entertaining matters, but also fully responsible for the formation of alliances, and has decision-making power on my behalf! Even if the decisions he makes are detrimental to the national body, or even have drawbacks, I will not blame him! ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials took a deep breath.

Several princes are even more short of breath, this is straightforward enough, Emperor Xia began to delegate power, purposefully to train the prince with national events, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if anyone can do it brilliantly, wouldn't it be a heavy stroke in the mind of Emperor Xia!

"If Erchen can get this opportunity, he will definitely raise the prestige of my Great Xia and successfully promote this matter." Xiao Yiheng immediately clenched his fists and swore an oath to Emperor Xia.

Xiao Lie said in a deep voice: "The son is willing to do his best to share his father's worries!" ”

"So is Erchen." Xiao Feng, the fourth prince, said earnestly.

The fifth prince Xiao Yuan, the sixth prince Xiao Ming, and the eighth prince Xiao Jing also hurried to respond.

Xiao Ze, the third prince, was half a beat behind and said, "Erchen is willing to serve." ”

In the end, only Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan were left to look at each other and give up.

"Seventh brother, what kind of dumb riddle did you sing with your father?" Taking advantage of the gap, Xiao Yan suddenly asked.

Xiao Rui was stunned in his heart, this kid's poisonous eyes were discovered by him.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Rui asked expressionlessly.

"Are you the one who is willing to take the job? I believe you're a ghost, you're very bad. Xiao Yan sneered.

Xiao Rui breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that his performance was too serious and did not conform to his previous personality. This is not good, his own character should be both civil and military, handsome and chic, and willing to give...

You must grasp other characters, you can't just care about being handsome and chic, and ignore the importance of other characters!

Oops, I'm damn handsome.

Seeing that the princes worked so hard, Emperor Xia was very happy, so he continued: "As for how to choose the right person? After careful consideration, I feel that, as Lin Aiqing said, Princess Linglong is very talented, so let the princes try their literary talents. But you can't be too bookish, so you should also be sophisticated in riding and archery martial arts. In addition to civil and military affairs, IQ is also an important requirement when forming an alliance to discuss, so why don't you take advantage of this morning dynasty and study you first? ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia flicked his sleeves and said, "Today, the nine princes are in the court for the first time, and they will discuss the visit of the Great Yan Kingdom, and other matters will be put aside for the time being, do you have any objections?" ”

After the civil and military officials looked at each other, they all bowed their hands and said in unison: "Weichen has no objection!" ”

Emperor Xia nodded, and said to Hai Dafu beside him: "Hai companion, go and get the congratulatory gift that Emperor Zhao gave me a few days ago." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hai Dafu immediately went to pick it up in person.

Emperor Xia also explained: "Some time ago, Emperor Zhao of the Great Zhao Kingdom sent someone to give me a birthday gift, and I just used it to study the talents of several princes. ”

Great Zhao and Great Xia are on the same page, because the Xia Emperor waved his troops to the west and almost destroyed the Zhao State, so the hatred between the two countries is indelible, and the border chief on the border has a war, and he will send congratulatory gifts on the birthday of the Xia Emperor? The funeral gift is real, and it is estimated that it is here to run on irony, every year.

Soon, the sea companion came back with a brocade box.

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "Open it, let the civil and military ministers and the nine princes take a good look at the gift that Emperor Zhao gave me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hai Dafu opened the brocade box, Xiao Rui was far away, and could only vaguely see a round white sphere, but soon, Hai Dafu came down, first asked Wenchen to look carefully, and then asked the generals to look at it carefully, and finally presented it to the nine princes.

Only then did Xiao Rui see clearly that this was an ostrich-sized sphere, covered in ivory white, and there was a small hole directly above, about half the diameter of the little finger, so the little finger could not be stuffed in.

Xiao Yan liked this strange thing the most, and asked Emperor Xia for instructions: "Father, can the sons and daughters pick it up and take a closer look?" ”

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "Yes, you can figure out the structure of this thing in order to complete my test." ”

"Construction?" Several princes were stunned, this is a ball, what structure can it have?

Xiao Yan had already picked up the ball, observed it, and found that there was a small hole on the other side, so the position of the two small holes was symmetrical, so Xiao Yan raised it in front of him and wanted to look through the small hole, but who knew that it was pitch black inside.

"Isn't this a through-hole?" Xiao Yan wondered.

Xiao Rui already understood what it was, but he didn't say it. However, the third prince Xiao Ze also understood this, and said in surprise: "Could this be the Qiankun ball?" ”

Xiao Yan asked, "Third brother, what is Qiankun Ball?" ”

Xiao Ze looked at Emperor Xia, because he didn't dare to judge whether what he guessed was true.

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "That's right, this thing is the Qiankun Ball, which is a treasure created by the unique craftsmen of the Great Zhao Kingdom, don't look at it as just a sphere, but the inside is an exquisite structure." You see two holes at the top and bottom, and the two holes are connected, but there are ninety-nine channels in the sphere, and only one of them can connect to the two holes. ”

"Huh?" Everyone in the hall was shocked, how could such a structure be hidden in this small sphere? It doesn't make sense, how did you make it?

Xiao Yan stared at the Qiankun ball in his hand with wide eyes, and hurriedly returned the brocade box, afraid that he would fall.

"Brother Qi, I don't think you're surprised at all, you know this thing?" Xiao Yan retreated to Xiao Rui's side, glanced at him, saw that he was so calm, and hurriedly asked.

The voice was a little loud, causing Xiao Feng to say disdainfully: "Old Seven, do you recognize this thing?" The third brother likes antiques, and he didn't dare to confirm it just now, so he had to ask his father. How did you find out? Don't think that just because you pretend to be in your chest, you really know how to do it. ”

"Haha, the fourth brother taught a lesson!" Xiao Yuan also shouted.

Xiao Rui didn't want to be strong, but at this time, it was really cowardly.

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, you don't understand, it doesn't mean I don't understand. Ever heard the story of the frog at the bottom of the well? Xiao Rui tore directly on the main hall.

Emperor Xia did not stop it, but watched it with great interest, so no one dared to stop the confrontation between the princes.

Xiao Feng said angrily: "What frog at the bottom of the well? ”

Xiao Rui planned to teach him a good lesson: "The so-called frog at the bottom of the well is a little frog at the bottom of the well, who only thinks that the sky is the size of the mouth of the well, but does not know the vastness of the sky. ”

"Father, Xiao Rui, he actually insulted me as a frog?" Xiao Feng was furious and immediately sued.

“？？”

Xiao Rui rolled his eyes, and told him an allusion in vain, this guy couldn't grasp the point at all.
