Moge's thick eyebrows were raised, and he smiled at Xuanqing and said, "Old friend, long time no see."
Xuan Qing smiled calmly, "Khan's style remains the same."
Moge raised his eyebrows, clapped his hands three times, and called, "Here comes someone!"
An attendant presented a string of nine jade rings in a brocade box. The nine jade rings were connected in a ring. The jade color was warm and lustrous. They were presented in a red velvet brocade box and had a gleaming luster. It was indeed a gift from the city, even the palace was used to seeing beautiful jade.
All the concubines in the middle also praised her repeatedly!
Moge said in a gentle tone, "Heheben does not produce jade. Ben Khan got a jade ring with nine rings many years ago. I heard that the jade craftsmen in the Western Regions worked hard to get this beautiful jade, and they spent countless efforts to carve it out."
The rings are interlocking and ingenious. But I have heard that this ring can be untied, and I have heard that there are many wise men in the Central Plains. Could you ask the Emperor of Zhou to help me untie this nine-linked jade ring?"
Xuan Ling laughed it off and said, "It's very good. You can bring it to the hall and invite all the ministers to look at it. I will give you a heavy reward for whoever can solve it."
Li Chang bowed and took him out of the palace. Xuan Ling called for singing and dancing. For a while, the guests and hosts exchanged drinks, everyone looked happy, and it was a scene of peace.
About half an hour later, Li Changfu entered the hall again, his expression slightly solemn and slightly embarrassed. When Xuan Ling caught a glimpse, he already felt displeased and asked, "Is there no one who can explain it?"
Li Chang lowered his head and replied: "All the ministers said that this ring is born like this and cannot be solved."
Xuan Ling looked at it carefully and said, "Let the kings take a look."
Li Changfu walked in front of the kings again. King Qishan looked carefully for a long time, slapped his thigh with a "swish" sound, waved to Li Chang and said: "Go, my eyes are dazzled, let the six kings take a look."
.”
Xuan Qing took it and looked at it for a moment, his eyes moved, and he smiled at Xuan Ling and said, "My brother, I don't know."
Xuan Ling pondered for a moment and called me gently: "Shu Fei." His call was full of expectations and entrustment. I took the nine-link jade ring and looked at it carefully. It was indeed perfect, but it was not incomprehensible. I was
I pondered, then I caught a glimpse of Hu Yunrong's cold expression, and secretly thought that I had offended Hu Yunrong by being too popular today, and with his mysterious expression just now, he might not know how to deal with it. He didn't want to say more, so why should I say more to attract the attention of others.
I sighed softly, unable to understand why I wanted to die, so I lowered my head and said, "I am incompetent."
Xuan Ling concealed his disappointment and said calmly: "It doesn't matter."
There was a moment of silence during the banquet, with everyone holding their breath and concentrating. Except for Moge's smiling and contemptuous look, the hall felt gelatinous and dull. The illustrious envoy smiled proudly and said: "It turns out that the saying that there are many wise men in the Great Zhou Dynasty is just a misinformation, but we believe it to be true.
"
Hearing that he humiliated Dazhou in such a way, I felt a burning sensation behind my ears. I was just worried about my identity and didn't want to say or do anything more. When I was in trouble, I saw a pair of big eyes flashing in the moon beside me, with both hands clenched. I just had no clue, so I had to bite
My lips were thinking. I squeezed her palm, stretched out my hand to hold her in my arms, and as if by accident, I took off a hosta from the Sendai bun, lightly hit it on the table, then blinked at Hazy Moon, and then lowered my head again.
The head seems to be thinking hard.
Wuyue watched my movements intently, turned her head and thought, and smiled unexpectedly on her cheeks. She suddenly pulled away from my arms and said with a loud smile: "Father, my daughter has a way, which may be able to solve it."
Xuan Ling's smile showed a hint of helplessness, "Even the officials in the court can't find the right method. What can your little daughter's family do?"
Misty Moon's bright eyes shone like pearls, and she said sweetly: "My daughter is young and ignorant, and even if she thinks of the wrong way, she will not make me laugh. Father, why don't you let your daughter give it a try."
Xuan Ling thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."
Haoyue whispered a few words to Huayi, and Huayi immediately took a small hammer and put it in her hand. Haoyue raised the small hammer, and after thinking about it, she was a little undecided. It seemed to me. I just smiled and encouraged her.
She nodded, and Hazy Moon didn't hesitate anymore, raised the hammer and smashed it down.
The nine-linked jade ring shattered in response to the sound and broke into several pieces. Wuyue laughed happily, "Father, I have untied it."
Xuan Ling smiled with satisfaction, caressed her cheek and said, "Wanwan wins my heart the most."
Her smile was as bright as a flower, and she said proudly to Moge: "You don't need to praise Gu Gu for his cleverness. Everyone in the Zhou Dynasty knows this method, but they don't bother to tell you. When you ask for the solution in the future, don't ask such a simple question again."
The illustrious envoy was dumbfounded and said in shock: "You... you... these nine jade rings are worth a fortune."
Wuyue raised her head and said: "So what? You only asked for a way to untie it, and you didn't say that it would not hurt the jade ring." She paused and said proudly: "What's more, the thing you said about connecting the city has been seen since I was a child.
If you are used to it a lot, why should you lose your envoy bearing for a jade ring and make people feel that you are stingy?"
Moge raised his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Even if you are used to it, this is a national treasure. How can you explain why you damaged my national treasure?"
Seeing Moge's unkind tone, Concubine De stood up quickly and said, "The emperor is young and this was an unintentional act..."
I smiled brightly, held Concubine De down, and said with a smile: "Congratulations Khan, Emperor Ji's kind deed can bring peace to Hehe."
He dismissed her and said with a sneer: "Concubine Shu is very good at making strong arguments."
I bowed my head warmly, picked up the broken ring and said slowly: "I just heard what the Khan said. This jade ring was obtained at the expense of countless people's lives. Jade is a thing that is rich in Yin, and it also costs people's lives and hurts the Yin. The Khan regards this as a national treasure.
It is very ominous, and it also seems that Khan wasted no time on human life and acted arrogantly. Emperor Ji smashed this thing, but it broke the negative energy and brought good luck to Hehe."
The concubine Zhen smiled warmly and said: "The Khan will inevitably be unhappy if the jade is broken. I have a trick. I can order the craftsmen in the palace to inlay the jade ring with red gold to make a gold-inlaid jade ring. Gold controls the yang energy and can slow down the yin energy of the jade. The gold and jade are interlaced.
It is a sign of wealth and peace.”
Xuan Ling nodded when he heard the words, "What Concubine Zhen said is very good."
I turned my head and looked at Moge, "The broken jade can still be repaired. If the two countries are at odds with each other, war will inevitably happen. Why not use the method of inlaying gold with jade to turn war into friendship? I wonder if the Khan is willing?"
Moge took a sip of the wine in his glass, stared at the dim moon for a moment, and asked: "This is..."
Xuan Ling's eyes were full of love, and he said: "This is my third daughter, Princess Longyue. She is so ignorant that she makes the Khan laugh." After saying that, he said to Longyue softly: "Go back to your mother and concubine.
"
Long Yue happily answered "Yes" and immediately stood next to Concubine De. Concubine De was very happy and stroked her forehead repeatedly, her face filled with joy.
Moge raised his hand and asked, "Is this the daughter of Empress Dowager De?"
Xuan Ling smiled casually and said: "Longyue is the eldest daughter of Concubine Shu, but she was raised under Concubine De's knees."
Moge glanced at me and seemed to approve of Xuan Ling, "As expected, like mother, like daughter. I really like the intelligence of this emperor." He waved as he spoke, and an attendant handed one to her.
The golden circle carved with sea blue and turquoise was strung into a necklace, which was very unique and eye-catching. He smiled, "With a little thought, I can express my feelings to Emperor Longyue."
Wu Yue just stood next to Concubine De, not even looking at her, she was very reserved. Xuan Ling smiled and nodded to her, indicating that she could accept it. Wu Yue then stood up and left the table, took the gift with both hands, and responded appropriately.
.
Xuan Ling smiled happily, extremely satisfied, and drank a few more drinks with Moge. Moge said: "The emperor's concubine is really outstanding, even the daughter and brother of this Khan can't compare to her." Xuan Ling was about to say a few words of humility.
, Moge glanced aside, "Are these all the emperor's sons? There are only four of them?"
There were not many princes in the palace. Except for the eldest son, who was already an adult, the other three were still young. The illustrious envoy covered his face and smiled and said: "I, the Khan, have eleven princes, all of whom are brave and good at fighting. I would like to fight with him again if I have the opportunity in the future."
The prince of your country will learn from each other."
The implication of his words was to ridicule Xuan Ling for not having many heirs. Xuan Ling was not annoyed or angry, he just smiled slowly and said: "When my prince grows up, I am afraid that the Khan's son has passed his prime. Isn't it hard for me to win without force?"
,Khan is polite."
Moge chuckled, cupped his fists and said, "If the emperor doesn't laugh at me, I'll just win with more than with less."
These words were too explicit. Hu Yunrong scolded in a low voice with a straight face: "That's why there are so many livestock in the palace." After thinking about it, she felt it was indecent, so she turned away.
I smiled happily and said: "The Khan is joking. All the people in the world are the sons of the emperor. If the Khan doesn't laugh, let's just defeat the few with more."
The smile lines on the corners of Moge's lips gradually deepened, "According to Concubine Shu, if it takes a hundred thousand ants to stop a ferocious beast, what does the emperor think?"
Xuan Ling was about to answer when he saw Xiao Xiazi coming forward with a drink. He didn't say anything for a moment, but just let Xiao Xiazi bring up new wine and replaced it with a cup of orange-colored "Clementine Orange Fragrance". Xuan Ling smiled slightly.
He was overjoyed, and then ordered as usual: "Okay, let's go down." His eyes were bright, showing a bit of a falcon-like look, but his face was still so leisurely and relaxed, "Beasts have the power of beasts, and ants have the power of wild beasts.
Does Khan think that the wisdom of an ant can determine victory or defeat?"
"Now the ants seem to be retreating steadily?"
"To retreat in order to advance, Khan must have read the art of war."
"I also want to speculate like this, but don't just talk nonsense."
"Khan is making fun of me. As the emperor, I keep my word."
"I heard that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, but there may not be only one son from heaven."
Xuan Ling showed a hint of joy when he heard this, "Since we are born from the same roots, there is no need to worry about each other. Dazhou and Hehe are brothers, and they must live in harmony with each other to ensure the peace of the two countries." Xuan Ling paused for a moment.
Stop, "I heard that the illustrious army contracted some minor diseases outside Yanming Pass. With the soldiers and horses outside, I am afraid that medicine is not enough. Dazhou also had an epidemic more than ten years ago, and it took a lot of effort to cure it, so I have some secret recipes. But
If Khan needs it, I can order someone to look for it."
Moge narrowed his eyes slightly, "Really? Thanks to the emperor for his kindness, I will just send someone to find it myself."
Xuan Ling said with a smile: "That's fine. It's just that these doctors travel all over the world, and they take the prescription with them. It will take two or three months for me to send people to find them. I hope everything goes well for Khan."
Moge placed the cup heavily on the table. I couldn't help but be surprised. I only looked at him coldly to see what he wanted. But I saw a richly dressed servant come in from outside and whispered a few words. Moge's gaze became more and more intense.
The colder it gets, the coldness condenses into sharp knives, almost piercing people. Xuan Ling didn't seem to realize it, but just ordered a song and dance, it was a Western-style "Hu Xuan Dance", with the girl leading the dance
She is as young as a flower in bud on a branch, so tender that it can drip water. Her sleeves are fluttering like butterflies, which can almost dazzle people's eyes. If you ignore the turbulent undercurrent in front of you, you will really be like a jade tree and a beautiful rose.
