Chapter 136 Able to solve the dilemma at hand
Lose face!
It's a shame.
Or be ashamed in front of foreign envoys!
The dignified Chu State, there is actually a person who unravels the nine links, and when he says this, he loses the face of the entire Chu State, as well as his face as the emperor.
Especially him, after he said it, he would only feel that he, the emperor, was incompetent, and he couldn't find a capable person in the Chu State, didn't this make the people doubt the court?
Emperor Xiande's face was very ugly, gloomy, but he couldn't lose face in front of the envoy, and he could only barely show a smile, but it was a little ugly.
At this time, an old minister stood up and said that the old man was because the other party was a character of Shen Yue's grandfather, his hair was black and white, his beard was white, his eyes were bright, and his bearing around him was also extraordinary.
The old minister took a step, came to the center of the hall, and said with a smile.
"Lao Chen has heard of the Nine Rings, but he has never seen it, but he has seen it when he was in a book, and I don't know if I can give it a try."
When Emperor Xiande saw the person coming, his eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he hurriedly spoke.
"Okay, please give it a try."
The old man in front of him is a third-generation courtier, and his status in the Chu State is very unusual, even if the emperor sees him in private, he has to call him uncle, but above the court, he naturally can't be called like this.
The envoy was also very face-saving, glanced at the old minister, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and asked his subordinates to bring the nine links to the old minister, and said with a smile.
"This is the Nine Rings, the Nine Circles are connected together, as long as you find a way to unravel these rings one by one."
Maybe he had also heard of the old minister's name, and the tone of the commentary was more lonely and respectful.
The old minister took it in his hand, played with it for a while, and finally shook his head.
"Your Majesty, Weichen can't be unraveled."
With this minister's try, the scene was even more silent.
Emperor Xiande saw that no one spoke, his face immediately sank, his eyes fell on everyone's body, with a cold light in his eyes, if he couldn't untie this nine links today, he would lose the face of their Chu State.
Everyone looked at the Nine Rings, they were all hearing of it for the first time, and they didn't know what this thing was, how to solve it!
A woman behind the messenger raised her head at this time and spoke with a smile.
"The emperor of Chu, I am the princess of the tribe, named Helian Dada, I heard that the concubine of the prime minister of Chu is a famous talented woman in Chu, it is better to ask the first talented woman of Chu to give it a try."
When the envoy heard Helendada's words, a respectful smile immediately appeared on his face, and he looked at Emperor Xiande and spoke a little proudly.
"Your Majesty, our princess, is the smartest woman in our tribe, but this nine-link still took nine days to unravel."
"We, the Dada tribe, have always been attached to the Chu State, but if the people of the Chu State are not as smart as the people of our Dada tribe, then we will not pay tribute to the Chu State from this year onwards."
The Dada tribe is just a small tribe outside, so naturally it can't go against the Chu State, but the current Chu State doesn't dare to easily move the war, and their reasons are not wrong, if the Chu State can't untie a nine-in-a-row face, then why should they pay tribute to the Chu State.
Originally, their tribe was relatively poor, and they were jealous of the vast land and wealth of Chu, but now that Chu is being restrained, this year's Dada tribe dares to make trouble.
Hearing the words of the envoy, Emperor Xiande's whole face turned cold, he couldn't imagine that the Dada tribe would dare to attack the Chu State at this time, they signed an agreement back then, and this year is indeed the last year.
If it is today, no one will untie the Nine Links, but it will be a shame for the entire Chu State, and how the Chu State will mix in the Three Kingdoms in the future, he will be accused of being incompetent as an emperor.
However, hearing Helian Dada's arrogant words, Emperor Xiande still looked at Shen Weiwei with hope, hoping that this talented woman was worthy of the name and could solve the dilemma in front of her.
Shen Weiwei didn't expect Helian Dada to call her name, and her face turned white suddenly, but under the eyes of everyone, Shen Weiwei couldn't help but step forward, even Shen Xiang had no choice, and at the same time, she was hoping that Shen Weiwei could solve the problem in front of her.
When everyone saw that Shen Weiwei was named by Helian Dada, some of them couldn't help but gloat in their hearts, as far as how Shen Weiwei, the first talented woman, came to be, and how much water there was, they knew, but they had to say that Shen Weiwei was not an absolute straw bag.
Emperor Xiande looked at the nervous Shen Weiwei and immediately became a little gentler.
"Vivi is it! Don't be nervous, it doesn't matter if you can't solve it, after all, you're still young. ”
Indeed, Shen Weiwei is only five years old, and Helian Dada is already twenty years old, if Shen Weiwei can't figure it out, she can only say that she is young, and Emperor Xiande is just trying to make his face look better.
Concubine Lan's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly spoke.
"That is, it's the first time we've seen the Nine Links, even if we can't solve it now, go back and think about it, maybe it will be solved, didn't Princess Dada also spend nine days?"
Shen Weiwei nodded, thanked her, her eyes fell on Emperor Chenmo's body, and she suddenly felt a little confident in her encouraging eyes at God Chenmo, stepped forward, took the Nine Links in her hand, looked at it and looked at it, and made it for a while, but she didn't have a clue at all.
As time passed, the faces of the people on the side of Chu became more and more unsightly, and the people on the envoy's side gradually showed disdain.
The envoy looked at Shen Weiwei like this and said with a smile.
"Although our princess has been unraveling it for nine days, but on the first day, she untied it in one go, three rings, is it possible that the first talented woman of the Chu State only has this ability?"
The envoy's meaning was arrogant, and it was also sarcastic, which directly made Shen Weiwei's face white, since she was a child, Shen Weiwei had never been so humiliated, but now she was facing a foreign envoy, Shen Weiwei couldn't say anything.
The meaning of the envoy was like a slap on the face of Emperor Xiande, this is the first beauty of the Chu State.
The envoy was obviously mocking Shen Weiwei's strength, but in fact, he was mocking the entire Chu State.
Although the other party is so arrogant, but they have no way to be angry, they have long heard that the Dada tribe has taken refuge in South Korea, the strongest of the three kingdoms, if the Dada tribe rebels at this time, it will undoubtedly be an even worse thing for the Chu State, so Emperor Xiande has a black face, but there is a reluctant smile on his face.
Shen Weiwei's aggrieved tears swirled in her eyes, glanced at everyone, and finally landed on Shen Yue's plain face, and she immediately had an idea in her heart, and immediately hurriedly spoke.
"Your Majesty, although I can't solve the Nine Links, my sister can, my sister has always been very smart, and she likes to read some miscellaneous theories since she was a child, maybe she can solve them."
Shen Weiwei was embarrassed herself, looking at Shen Yue as if she was nothing, a wave of anger rose in her heart, she made a fool of herself, and she wanted Shen Yue to make a fool of herself, and it was also for everyone to see that Shen Yue was so stupid, how smart she was.
The emperor glanced at Shen Yue, but did not speak, she had not heard that Shen Yue had any talents, and she had already lost people twice, so naturally she didn't want to lose people again.
Concubine Lan on the side had a flash of eyes, a smile appeared in her eyes, she chuckled lightly, and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, then let Miss Shen try it! What if you can untie it! It doesn't matter if you can't solve it, Miss Shen is young anyway. ”
Hearing Concubine Lan's words, Cao Fatzi, Qiao Hong, and Emperor Xiuhan all looked gloomy, Concubine Lan's words, everyone who understood knew that this was aimed at Shen Yue.
When Situ Yu'er heard Concubine Lan's words, she immediately responded.
"Yes, what Niangniang said is, I have long heard that Miss Shen is very smart, I still remember the banquet that day, Miss Shen's calligraphy and paintings, but we were amazed to read occasionally."
wanted to see Shen Yue unlucky, Situ Yuer at this time praised Shen Yue ruthlessly, and directly praised Shen Yue only in the sky, and there was nothing on the ground.
When the county lord Wanshu heard Situ Yu'er's words, his heart immediately became angry, thinking of Emperor Xiuhan's concern for Shen Yue, his eyebrows immediately jumped, and he hurriedly spoke.
"You can't say that, maybe Sister Shen is just good at calligraphy and painting! This nine consecutive rings is our first talented woman, there is no way, how can Sister Shen have a way, Uncle Huang, is this clearly bullying? ”
Hearing everyone's words, the only thing that had no expression was Shen Yue, who had always been faint, as if he was watching the noise of the people around him, when Di Xiuhan looked over, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Shen Yue's calmness, and then thought of Shen Yue's performance, and felt that he really cared too much, looking at him like this, he already had a heart at all.
At the moment, Di Xiuhan didn't say anything, and directly watched the farce of the person in front of him like a bystander.
The county lord of Wanshu defended Shen Yue, but when he looked at Emperor Xiuhan, he found that Emperor Xiuhan was actually calm, not in a hurry at all, and the county lord of Wanshu couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, who is this Shen Yue's sweetheart, she is fighting with her tongue here, but what is her good brother doing.
Emperor Xiande looked at everyone, and finally fell on Shen Yue's body, and nodded after a while.
"Shen Yue, go take a look."
This time, Emperor Xiande ordered directly, because what Concubine Lan said was not wrong, it didn't matter if she couldn't solve it, but what if it was solved! There were so many officials in the court, Emperor Xiande naturally didn't put his hope on Shen Yue, he just wanted to use Shen Yue to block the mouths of those people first, and then let Shen Yue take back the Nine Links, so that there was still time to think about it.
Shen Yue saluted, and then stepped forward, originally Shen Yue did it relatively far, in her previous life, she had seen the Nine Links, and it happened that she would also solve it, but Shen Yue didn't want to be in the limelight, after all, she came up and said that she would solve it, so it didn't make sense, after all, the Nine Links thing had not yet been transmitted to the Chu State.
Soon after, the Nine Links are not a rare thing, and there are quite a few people who can solve them, but they don't have them yet.
And the princess in front of her did take nine days to untie the nine links, I have to say that she is also very smart, Shen Yue also knows that Princess Dada is still a martial arts person, but when she saw Princess Dada, Shen Yue didn't have a good face, but said that the tragedy of Mei Niang in her previous life was caused by the irresponsible man of Princess Dada.
Mei Niang's life was not too good, that man knew so many powerful people in Mei Niang's hands, so he got along with Mei Niang, Mei Niang knew that the man was going to enter the court, so she naturally went up and down, but she didn't expect it, but she got along with Princess Dada, and finally went to marry Princess Dada, and Mei Niang suffered all her life.
Princess Dada lives in the capital, and she is accepted as a righteous daughter by the emperor, will it stimulate and torture Mei Niang.
But looking at the situation in this life, Shen Yue couldn't figure it out, looking at the tension between the two sides, how could the emperor not accept Princess Dada as a righteous daughter, but why was it said like this in the previous life!
In her previous life, Shen Yue had also seen Princess Dada, just because she was the person next to Concubine Lan, and she couldn't provoke Princess Dada at will, thinking of Mei Niang's pain in her previous life, Shen Yue decided that in this life, she couldn't let the emperor accept Princess Dada as a righteous daughter no matter what.
And this breakthrough, if Shen Yue didn't guess wrong, it was the Nine Rings, thinking that everyone in the market would have a Nine Links, Shen Yue guessed that Emperor Xiande left Princess Dada because of the Nine Links.
Helian Dada didn't put Shen Yue in his eyes at all, looking at Shen Yue's appearance, a touch of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, in the Chu State, she knew which people were famous and teachable, and there was no Shen Yue in it at all, and now she was suddenly sent out, it is estimated that there is no way, this is just right, it seems that there is no one available in the Chu State, and it is easier for her to stay in the Chu State.
