Like Han Yi, the ministers all stood quietly in tacit understanding, waiting for the people who had already been arranged to come out and announce the opening of this unrehearsed show. However, as soon as Wei Xian's voice fell, Chen Zhong's leg was about to step out, when a eunuch who passed the word came in from one side: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Nalan Jinhuan, the princess of Southern Chu State, and Duan Xing, the envoy of Southern Chu State, ask to see Your Majesty." ”

When Chen Zhong heard that one of the protagonists of today's scene was about to appear, his eyes glanced at Wu Wei, the secretary of the military department, and after receiving the latter's reassuring signal, he temporarily retracted his feet, intending to wait and see what happened.

In fact, after the Southern Chu delegation came to Beijing, Duan Xing participated in the early Zhou Dynasty many times, but every time he was used as a monkey by His Majesty and the ministers. It was because the officials who did not know the truth were signaled by their superiors, and it was impossible for the few who knew the truth to tell him the truth of the matter. In other words, whether it is Duan Xing or the ministers, they are actually secret, and the essence of the fact is that Da Zhou is strong and Nan Chu is weak, so Da Zhou can fight if he wants, but Nan Chu can only passively accept it. The tragic part is that Duan Xing, who is in a weak country, can only use all his resources to seek a trace of almost non-existent vitality for his country, while the ministers who are backed by the Great Zhou watch the courtiers of other countries as if watching a good show, stringing around like ants on a hot pot doing useless work. Of course, it is not known whether some of them will empathize, such as those who have been to Jinmeng.

It's just that there is a difference today, although all the ministers have also seen this stunning princess of Nanchu, but they are all in some informal occasions such as banquets, but there has never been a place where the princes and ministers of the Taihe Palace discuss politics?

Could it be that this is making people think that the princess of the Southern Chu Kingdom is a woman, and the courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not point to their noses and scold?

Let the woman be in front, this courtier of the Southern Chu State will not be so unbearable.

Under the indifferent gaze of everyone, Nalan Jinhuan and Duan Xing formally met with Emperor Zhou, and stepped forward to reply under Emperor Zhou's instructions.

"Princess Jinhuan is so grand today, why do you have something to tell me in a hurry?" After all, Nalan Jinhuan is a princess of a country, and she is the nominal descendant of the Great Zhou Emperor on the yin side, so the Zhou Emperor is at least as kind to him as an old man most of the time.

Speaking of this, many ministers found that today's princess of Nanchu was wearing the robe of the Southern Chu Kingdom and wearing a crown, which could be described as a noble air leakage, and the appearance of the fairy with fluttering neon ribbons before was simply like two people.

Looking at it from the back, if you look at it from the front, the ministers will find that in addition to her clothes, Princess Nanchu's expression is also completely different from the past. The princess of Nalan before was either indifferent without sorrow or joy, like a fairy out of the dust, or her red lips were slightly raised, and her face was full of light, which made people feel like a spring breeze. But today's Nalan Jinhuan has a solemn expression, even though his eyes are full of panic, nervousness and uneasiness, but the helplessness and despair that were once hidden by him have gone, and what faintly appears in his eyes is desperate determination and excitement. Nalan Jinhuan held up the delicate wooden box in his hand, bowed slightly like a minister, and said: "Jinhuan specially visited His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty today, for the sake of the two countries for thousands of generations, harmony and peace, and friendship with neighbors. ”

The clear and melodious voice of Princess Nanchu fluttered in the hall like a cheerful lark, but the effect of this statement was to make the entire hall fall into silence.

Although Nalan Jinhuan did not get up, she knew that the Great Zhou Emperor above Jinluan at this moment was probably completely devoid of the kindness of the old man, because the cold wind was close to her.

After Duan Xing entered the hall, he closed his eyes, hoping to moisten his bloodshot eyes that he had slept for a while last night. However, the effect was limited, and when he opened it again, the hideous bloodshot was still dragging his pupils like the roots of an old tree. He felt that his eyes were very tired, but he didn't want to close them, he wanted to open them, he wanted to look at this group of people who mocked him, this group of people who didn't take him and his country seriously at all, this group of people who vainly tried to enter the high Shenyin and generally decided the fate of Nan Chu, and looked at the expressions of this group of people when they saw him carrying a sharp sword and stabbing into their "chest".

The sins that I have suffered in the past three months from the time I sent out to this morning, and now you should also come and taste them.

Duan Xing paced forward, facing the supreme majesty of the Great Zhou Emperor, raised his hand and saluted: "Duan Xing, the envoy of the Southern Chu State, has seen His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor. The Great Zhou Dynasty is prosperous, integrating the mutual aid of the five lakes and the richness of the four seas, and promoting the ......."

Duan Xing's impassioned statement did not affect everyone in the hall, on the contrary, everyone was frowning and looking at the envoy of the Southern Chu State who was dancing with their eyebrows. Today, a consensus has been reached from top to bottom of the Great Zhou that the southern expedition is imperative and cannot be changed. It is impossible for this period of people who are not stupid to not be aware of the determination of the Great Zhou to send troops. Or, he was still overcast in his heart, so he did such things that would rather be broken than jade in the main hall. If this is the case, the courtiers of the Great Zhou may have praised his style, but in this case, why should he bring the princess of the golden ring. Although Nanchu is a small country, Nalan Jinhuan is a princess of a country after all, and it is about the face of a country. Such a sad and indignant thing, he Duan Xing did it, but he should not bring his own master. Or is it that both the master and the servant have the consciousness of sacrificing their lives for the country?

But even so, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not change his mind. Duan Xing looked up at the solemn and majestic but old Emperor of Zhou, as the king of a country, his heart must be more brutal than the prism at the bottom of the cliff, but as an old man, he is even more helpless than a weak child. Once anyone gets the supreme right, they can't let it go, even the emperors of the ages can't do it, not to mention that the old man above now, maybe in some ways, like him Duan Xing, is also facing powerless despair. At this time, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, this old man will catch it at all costs, just like them did last night.

“...... Nan Chu took Da Zhou as his brother, respectfully and respectfully, and did not dare to trespass in the slightest. However, there are traitorous people who belead the public with fallacies and damage the century-old alliance between the two countries. Today, I take care of the century-old harmony between the two countries, remember the righteousness of tens of millions of people to live and work in peace and contentment, and want to sacrifice the great treasure of the country, in exchange for the two countries to eliminate the differences, and the love and righteousness are still the same. Duan Xing finished speaking, and then under the expressionless gaze of Emperor Zhou, he chuckled inexplicably at the hundred officials, and solemnly bowed.

You may think that I am just a beggar crying and spilling on the street now, Duan Xing thought to himself, I hope you can be so indifferent in the future. He continued: "This treasure is called Taiyi Xuantian Creation Golden Pill, which is the power of Southern Chu to consume the whole country, collecting 3,333 medicinal materials, supplemented by countless heavenly and earthly treasures such as Buddha relics, Tianshan Snow Lotus, Dragon Cave Stone Milk, etc., refining 3,333 days for one time, one furnace at a time, and ten furnaces into one Dan. When Cheng Dan is a change of wind and clouds, thunder and tribulation fall from the sky, and countless monks can protect the Dharma to eliminate it. Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou, this pill is an elixir that I have refined for a hundred years with the power of the whole country in Southern Chu! Today, I, Nanchu, dedicate this elixir to Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty will not listen to the words of traitors, so that the two countries can rebuild themselves. ”

"Oh? I don't know what the effect of the pill Duan Zhengzhi said. Emperor Zhou asked interestingly, but the meaning of banter was not completely hidden. Maybe a few years earlier, the emperor would have been interested in these so-called elixirs, but now that both the Six Doors and the Hanging Mirror Division have reported to him the truth about all the so-called elixirs in the world, he has long since extinguished the idea of fighting with the sky.

The emperor thought so, and the ministers below didn't believe it one by one, and bigwigs like Xu Qian and Wu Wei were already wondering if the heads of the Southern Chu Mission were squeezed by the door.

"Returning to His Majesty the Emperor, this pill is effective, the severed limbs are reborn, and the rejuvenation is rejuvenated!"

"Oh, how effective is that?" The emperor replied casually, and the moment he opened his mouth, the aged Ninety-Five Lord almost yawned. Of course, although he said this, he was thinking in his heart: I didn't say anything about immortality, ascending to immortality in the daytime, well, it seems that this liar who fooled the envoys of Southern Chu is a little conservative. Go back and let the Hanging Mirror Division see which liar is so ignorant of the rules that he dares to bully people who have never seen the world in the Southern Chu Kingdom.

Duan Xing knew that none of the monarchs and ministers of the Great Zhou would believe his words, and to tell the truth, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes last night, he wouldn't have believed it. But it doesn't matter, he came early in the morning and offered the pill in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, just so that they could witness the magic of this pill in person.

"Your Majesty, this matter is true, if you don't believe it, you can verify it on the spot."

"Bold" Before Duan Xing finished speaking, Wei Xian on the side opened his mouth and scolded: "The emperor's golden body, how can he try your thing with a bad background?" ”

"That's true." Lord Shoufu on the side also spoke: "Duan Zheng is hasty. ”

"That's true." However, in the face of everyone's doubts, Duan Xing calmly replied: "I don't dare to let Your Majesty try this pill in person, besides, what I am carrying this time is only a remnant pill, although it is defective, it can still make people renew their broken arms and rejuvenate themselves." ”

"Oh, if it can really rejuvenate a broken limb and rejuvenate people, a little defect will be fine." A minister said in a strange manner: "In that case, why don't Lord Duan take this pill in court to prove its effect?" ”

I eat? When Duan Xing heard this, he thought in his heart: I don't want to die yet.

"This adult doesn't know, this Taiyi Xuantian Creation Golden Pill, although it is a furnace every ten years, but not all of them can become a Dan, even if it becomes a Dan, it may not be a Jindan, it may also be a second Dan. Among the 3,333 medicinal materials used in the refining of this Dan, there are 999 kinds of highly toxic substances, and if all the poison can be converted into the medicinal power that stimulates the nature of the Dan during the refining process, it is the Golden Dan, and if not, it is the Second Dan. Although this pill can also rejuvenate people, the effect of the medicine can only last for three days, and after three days, the person who takes the pill will quickly become poisoned and die violently. ”。

"If I heard me right," another minister said, "Ambassador Duan's consciousness is that this Dan is actually poison. ”

"That's right, this golden pill is an elixir that can rejuvenate people and rejuvenate their lives, but this pill is a short-lived pill that will return to the light." After speaking, Duan Xing saluted Emperor Zhou again: "However, all things in the world, no one has ever seen the real thing that can make people rejuvenate. As long as this Dan can really rejuvenate people, then it can prove that the golden pill of Yin is wonderful. I also hope that His Majesty the Emperor can make a eunuch who is about to die, and in this hall in front of the ministers to take the next Dan, after taking it, within half a day, whether it is true or false, it can be seen! ”
