006. Make things difficult)

When the female Shangguan saw the emperor in front of her, she frowned again, and she was already extremely scared.

Oh my God! What are I talking about! I actually said that Your Majesty is rubbing his chest!

The female Shangguan hurriedly knelt down again, stretched her hands forward, leaned on the ground, and shouted in panic:

"The maid shouldn't be talking nonsense, your Majesty, please calm down!"

After she finished shouting like this, she did not get the anger of the emperor she imagined. Instead, she was silent for a moment in the room, and then she heard the emperor say:

"You keep saying that, what's going on later."

The female Shangguan looked up slightly and saw the emperor sitting in front of him with his back facing the bronze mirror, with an expression of sadness or joy on his face.

Only then did she carefully talk about everything that happened yesterday.

The emperor just sat quietly and listened. When the female official Shangguan said that she had been to the toilet for half an hour, she asked:

"Half an hour into the toilet? Are you not there? What are I doing?"

Then when talking about bathing, I asked again:

"Bath? Am I?"

I don’t know if it was my own illusion, but the emperor’s expression was quite strange.

This lasted for an hour.

Wu Zhi had already guessed from the words of Shangguan female official that the "dream" he thought yesterday was probably true!

Yesterday, my body was indeed occupied by another stranger.

I just don’t know who the person in my body is. Is it still there? Could it be the man I possessed yesterday?

Why did I have such a thing? Who did I occupy yesterday? Am I really sick?

"His Majesty."

Just as Wu Zhi was guessing in his heart, another palace maid's voice came from outside the Tai Chi Palace:

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister asks Xiao Huangmen to say that Your Majesty's Dragon's gymnastics are overworked, so you must take care of yourself."

When Wu Zhi heard this, he understood the Prime Minister’s true meaning.

The officials have been waiting for an hour. The morning court cannot be opened. As the emperor, I have to say something. Wu Zhi really wants to ask again. After all, yesterday, I didn’t seem to have done anything serious...

But government affairs cannot be left behind.

"Let's get up on Shangguan Shanggong. Only you know what I do today, and you don't need to let the third person know. As for the palace maids and eunuchs who served in the imperial court yesterday, you can also tell them, don't be too sarcastic."

After Wu Zhi finished speaking, the female Shangguan breathed a sigh of relief, and then Wu Zhi said again:

"Let's go, go to court."

"promise."

……………………

Outside Xuanzheng Hall, all the officials had been waiting for a long time.

Just when everyone thought the emperor was going to cancel the morning court again, the emperor had arrived.

Amid the loud shout of "The Emperor is here!", Wu Zhi walked into Xuanzheng Hall.

Under the leadership of the prime minister, the ministers in the hall saluted one after another, and then took their seats in an orderly manner.

Wu Zhi didn't attend the morning court yesterday and did not meet with ministers. I didn't know whether there were any important things in the court, whether there were natural disasters and man-made disasters in all parts of the world.

There will probably be a little too much going on this morning court.

"My dear friends, what's going on today needs to be discussed, even if you say it."

After Wu Zhi finished speaking as usual, he saw the Minister of Rites step forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the gifts to celebrate Your Majesty's ascension to the throne have been transported to Kyoto. The countdown has been completed. The Northern Di, Southern Barbarians, Western Rong and Dongyi, and all countries in all directions have also sent envoys to celebrate Your Majesty's ascension to the throne."

This is naturally a good thing, which shows that the Great Zhou Dynasty won the hearts of the people. The throne of Wu Zhi was also legitimate and very orthodox.

Before Wu Zhi could speak, he listened to the Minister of Rites and continued in a dilemma:

"It was just a gift from the Tubo envoy, and he did not give it to the ministers and others, but said..."

The Minister of Rites bowed and said:

"He said that the Tubo king had repeatedly instructed him to show his solemnity, so that he would personally give it to His Majesty in the palace."

After the Minister of Rites said this, the officials around him started to talk.

"What does this mean?"

"I'm afraid the person who came is not good."

"When the First Emperor attacked the Western Turks, it was also the Tubo that the First Emperor had to give up."

"This Tubo is probably a wolf's ambition."

"But if you don't accept the gift from Tubo and spread it out, I'm afraid..."

"Indeed, others even said that we were afraid of Tubo."

After the ministers discussed, they felt that they were just giving a gift, but the Tubo envoy dared to assassinate him?

There is nothing to be afraid of.

See!

Wu Zhi also thought so. She is the empress and should be tougher in order to convince the public.

Neither the emperor nor the ministers had any objections, so the Tubo envoy was announced.

I saw the Tubo envoy wearing a jacket, looking very different from the people in the Central Plains. Behind him was a Tubo man holding a small box of four squares and four straights in his hand.

The outside of the box was bare and there was no handle or keyhole.

The Tubo envoy walked to the bottom of the Xuanzheng Hall, saluted respectfully at Wu Zhi on the steps, and said loudly in fluent Chinese:

"Tubo envoy Tashi Baren, on behalf of my king, congratulates the new Emperor of Great Zhou on his succession!"

"No gift."

Wu Zhi, who had no expression on his face, raised his hand and said:

"I heard that Tubo Zanpu wants you to give me gifts in person. What kind of gift is so serious? It's that box?"

The Tubo envoy smiled, turned around and held the box in his hand, then raised it over his head, turned around, showed it to the officials, and then said:

"The gifts I brought this time are very expensive, and they were carefully selected by my king. In order to avoid losing or being stolen, my king made a Tianji lock. You may not know that my king likes to study some small things on weekdays. This Tianji lock was also developed by my king in his spare time. This Tianji lock is naturally one of the gifts. However, as an envoy, I am not qualified to know how to open this Tianji lock. Moreover, my talent is limited and stupid, and I cannot open this Tianji lock. So I can only bring it with gifts in chains. I heard that the new emperor of the Great Zhou, with kindness and kindness, diligence and thrift, and have long hair and knowledge. I also ask the Emperor of the Great Zhou to open this Tianji lock himself."

As soon as these words were said, the officials' expressions were not right at that time, and Wu Zhi's expression was even more pale.

Everyone knows that the new Emperor of the Great Zhou was a woman. The idioms spoken by the Tubo envoys were all used to describe women. Why do you have long hair and knowledge? What does this mean?

Giving gifts to return the entire Tianji Lock, and let the Emperor of Zhou dismantle it for you personally?

After being untied, my Great Zhou Emperor was extremely intelligent, and everyone was very happy. But I couldn’t untied that I wanted to implicitly mock my Great Zhou Emperor. As a woman, does my hair grow long and short?

Is this a gift or a difficult problem?

Many ministers were already full of indignation, but the Prime Minister quickly stood up and said:

"I may not know that I, the Emperor of Great Zhou, have never had the custom of opening gifts casually. I will do this for the secret lock of heaven."

As soon as he said this, the Tubo envoy also smiled:

"Since that's the case, please feel free to everyone."

Seeing that the Tubo envoys agreed so easily, many people also felt that the Tubo envoys were either just following the rampant or too confident.

Then several ministers volunteered to open the Tianji Lock, which was a great opportunity to perform in front of the new emperor.

It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t open it, there are still people who can make up for it later, but if it opens, it will be a meritorious service.

But after more than a dozen people were on the line, they could not open the Tianji Lock. The ministers were pulling and pulling, but this ordinary little box was not moving at all!

Wu Zhi's face became increasingly ugly.

Seeing that the Tubo envoy was about to speak again, it must have been a sarcastic act, or the prime minister responded quickly, and he followed the Tubo envoy.

"Today's court meeting is actually just a small court meeting. Those who attend court are all old and not very smart ministers. When tomorrow's court meeting, those smart and capable young people will come, it will not be too late to crack your secret lock."

The Tubo envoy also smiled, took back the gift, bowed his hand and said to Wu Zhi:

"Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first. Tomorrow morning, I'll come again when the adults from the Great Zhou Dynasty arrive more."

After the Tubo envoy said that, he took the man and took the box down. The ministers in the two rows all had their faces ashen.

Wu Zhi also had a gloomy face and watched the Tubo envoy leave the hall. The Prime Minister stood while His Highness wanted to speak but stopped, and everyone was silent.

Today, everyone can’t open the Tianji Lock, but tomorrow, it will be opened?

Let the emperor unlock the lock himself?

After opening it, I can't tell you what to do if I can't open it? I can't stand this tone and can't use troops against Tubo? What should I do if the Turks and the Huns take the opportunity to attack?

In the end, I was afraid that I would inevitably be sarcastic by the Tubo envoy. After thinking about it, everyone fell silent.

Wu Zhi also understood the link. The Tubo envoy was so confident that he had taken the Tianji lock and no one could open it!

Wu Zhi really wanted to draw his sword, so he cut off the box with one sword!

But she can't...

Wu Zhi looked around, but no minister looked up at her, and he lowered his head one by one, and kept silent.

She stopped talking, stood up and walked out of the hall, leaving only a cold sound echoing in Xuanzheng Hall:
Chapter completed!
