Although Lu Yan's voice was not loud, it was no less than a thunder in the courtroom. Everyone in the courtroom was stunned and even their minds went blank for a short time. Chen Xiaomu, who was walking this way, suddenly Hearing this, he couldn't help but be surprised. He hurriedly took a few steps and came to Su Xingran. Before he could speak, he suddenly heard a soft voice calling him from behind: "Brother Xiaodai!"
Hearing the sound, Chen Xiaomu's mind suddenly buzzed, and he thought to himself: "Why is Zhao Yiqiu here too? How should I explain this to such a jealous Su Xingran!" After a brief pause, he had to bow his hands to Su Xingran first. He said: "I have met the emperor." Then he turned to Zhao Yiqiu and forced a smile: "Sister Yiqiu, you are here!"
Hearing Zhao Yiqiu calling Chen Xiaomu his younger brother, Su Xingran finally recovered from the brief shock. Not only was she not angry, but she almost laughed out loud at the name Chen Xiaomu, the idiot. She didn't have time to think about what happened next. , Lu Yan seemed to be afraid that Su Xingran would doubt her identity. After all, even she felt that it was too abrupt to suddenly appear in the court of the government without informing the Zheng court in advance. At this moment, she took out a milky-white jade scroll wrapped in yellow satin cloth from her sleeve, held it in her hand, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the credential given to your Majesty by the emperor of our country."
Seeing this, Wei Yushang hurriedly came over to take it with both hands, and then handed it to Su Xingran. However, to be honest, even if Lu Yan took out Emperor Qin's credential, it could not eliminate Su Xingran's inner suspicion. You must know that this is Qin Emperor's credential. The Queen of the country, Qin is the most powerful country among the countries today, let alone a small country like Zheng, even a big country like Qi or Jin is not worth mentioning in front of it. If It's not that the Qin State's domineering power has been exposed now, and its tendency to unify all countries has been too obvious, scaring all the countries below to hug together for warmth, temporarily blocking Qin's opportunity to unify the world, otherwise it would have taken action long ago!
Besides, from the founding of Zheng to the present, there has been nearly a hundred years of history. The two countries of Qin and Zheng have really never had any interaction at all. At the beginning, Zheng was so beaten by Chu that it was about to face the fate of annihilation. There was no way Su Chengxuan had no choice but to seek medical treatment urgently. Following the advice of Prime Minister Wei Wen, he sent Gao Gong, the Minister of Rites, to the Qin State to ask the Qin Emperor Martial Arts to send someone to act as a mediator to make peace with the Chu State and made it clear that it would be done. After that, the State of Zheng was willing to be a vassal state of the State of Qin and obeyed all the orders issued by the Emperor of Qin! Who knows that Emperor Qin's martial arts wish at this time was that the countries below would kill each other, because only in this way could he have a chance to realize his wish for a great unification. As a result, Gao Gong slept in the open all the way to Xijing, the capital of Qin, but the last group of people was stopped in Outside Xijing City, they were driven back without even being allowed to enter Xijing City!
Although Zheng Guo has achieved a tragic victory, Qin Guo cannot afford to repair relations with a small country like Zheng Guo, and actually sends a queen of a country as an envoy. This is something that is unheard of in the history of all countries today. Therefore, Su Xingran is facing Faced with the situation in front of me, I didn’t know what to do for a moment!
Even Wei Wen and Zhuge Cheng, two veteran court officials who were experienced in handling state affairs, looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know how to deal with this matter. Chen Xiaomu calmed down quickly. He felt that the person in front of him who claimed to be the Queen of Qin Lu Yan's middle-aged lady must be the real Queen of Qin for two reasons. First, no matter how stupid a liar is, she would not risk the world's disapproval by having someone pretend to be the Queen of Qin to send envoy Zheng Zheng. Country, secondly, this is actually easy to distinguish. After all, the magnanimity shown by the women who often accompany the emperor in every gesture cannot be imitated by ordinary people! Especially the queen of a superpower like Qin, whose every move can show the aura of a great power!
Seeing Su Xingran and others still hesitating, the atmosphere was very awkward. Although Lu Yan still kept a smile on her face, Chen Xiaomu could clearly see in the weak light that her eyes were gradually getting colder. To be honest, as a modern Chen Xiaomu, who traveled through time, really didn't pay much attention to the Qin State, the largest country in the world, but now that he has said it again, the war between the Zheng State and the Qi State is imminent. At this time, he is going to provoke another country. It is obviously unwise for a big country to do so, at least it has to be superficial!
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaomu took a step forward, held his hands to Lu Yan with a smile on his face and said: "On behalf of all the officials in the Xinjing Mansion of Zheng State, I would like to welcome the Empress of Qin State to visit the Xinjing Mansion. If there is any neglect, Please forgive me, the Queen!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaomu's combination of ancient and modern rhetoric made Lu Yan feel fresh and useful. She couldn't help but smile and said: "When I was in the Qin State, I often heard Prime Minister Gao praising Mr. Chen for his talent. Today I see that your reputation is indeed well-deserved. I have something to ask of Mr. Chen later, and I hope Mr. Chen can agree!"
Chen Xiaomu was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Aren't you deliberately sowing discord? I know your high prime minister of Qin State, and now that you say this, it seems that I and your high prime minister have known each other for many years. Like friends, and besides, the emperor Su Xingran is here now! Although we are now suspected of opening a husband and wife shop! But I am still her minister on the surface! No matter what, I will not go around her to promise you anything. Yes!"
At that moment, Chen Xiaomu immediately politely declined: "What the Queen said is wrong. As the Queen is currently visiting, any request made by the Queen should be a state matter between Zheng and Qin. As a minister of His Majesty the Emperor of Zheng, I will We should obey the emperor's will. If the emperor agrees, then the ministers will also agree. On the contrary, if the emperor does not agree, then the ministers will naturally not agree."
"Oh! Haha, that's true!" Lu Yan laughed, her laughter full of disdain.
This made Chen Xiaomu angry, and thought to himself: "How dare you look down on me, the emperor's wife, if I don't give you some color to show that you really can't tell the difference between black and white!"
Chen Xiaomu immediately turned cold, and said with a strong lesson in his tone: "Queen, you may not know that in our Zhengguo court, the monarchs and ministers are of the same mind, and the people of the country are closely united in the belief that our emperor is the leader. Around the central court, there are political connections and people, and our emperor’s orders and prohibitions are enforced. The relationship between our monarch and his ministers cannot be provoked by anyone who wants to!"
Lu Yan's expression suddenly turned ugly when Chen Xiaomu used these new words that she had never heard before. She suddenly got into trouble. As the queen of the only superpower in the world, she had never been ridiculed like this before. But on such an occasion, she It was hard to get angry, so she could only keep a tight face and remain silent. Su Xingran, on the other hand, was really afraid of offending a superpower like Qin. In her imagination, if Qin wanted to destroy a small country like Zheng, it would be easy for him to do so. It was just as easy to get the things. At this time, she no longer had to wonder whether the middle-aged lady in front of her was the queen of Qin. She stepped forward and took Lu Yan's hand, and said with a smile: "Welcome to the queen. We are here to visit our country of Zheng. It’s just that it’s late today. I’ll send someone to take the Queen to Honglu Temple for a short break. We’ll hold a formal welcome banquet in the palace at noon tomorrow to welcome the Queen. What do you think, Queen? ?”
Lu Yan was not polite, nodded slightly, and said proudly in the tone of speaking to her subordinates: "That's it!"
Seeing Su Xingran, the majestic Emperor of the State of Zheng, smiling apologetically at Lu Yan, the Queen of the State of Qin, looking cautious, and then turning to look at Lu Yan with her head raised and arrogant, Chen Xiaomu's nose couldn't help but feel sore. He secretly swore in his heart that within three years, he would destroy Qin, Qi, Chu, and Wu, the four countries that were hostile to Zheng Guo, and make Zheng Guo the largest and most powerful empire in the world. By then, Su Xingran would She no longer has to fear any state deterrence, she will become the most powerful woman in the world!
When Chen Xiaomu was thinking about something, something unexpected happened. Just when Su Xingran ordered Wei Wen and Wei Yushang to lead Lu Yan and his party to Honglu Temple, Lu Yan suddenly asked Su Xingran a question. They requested that Chen Xiaomu accompany them to Honglu Temple instead of Wei Wen, saying that it would be convenient for them to ask him about poetry knowledge. As soon as the words came out, Su Xingran was still hesitant, but Chen Xiaomu immediately declined politely. He gave The reason is that he still has a lot of official business to deal with in the evening, and he also said that he actually knows little about poetry, and he really can't teach them anything! "
When Lu Yan heard this, she immediately understood that this was Chen Xiaomu's excuse. Although she was filled with anger, she thought that Qinhuang Martial Arts was going to lure Chen Xiaomu to the Qin State and help him complete the great cause of unification. She still endured the tone and thought to herself. : "When you get to Qin, everything will be out of your control! You won't be at my mercy then."
After thinking about this, Lu Yan's face changed several times in an instant, and finally settled on a smiling face, and said with a smile: "In this case, I am presumptuous!" After saying that, she turned around and left, followed by the petite figure behind her. The beautiful girl, before leaving, looked deeply at Chen Xiaomu with a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes. Even after she walked a long distance, she would look back at Chen Xiaomu from time to time!
This strange behavior of the beautiful girl not only made Chen Xiaomu suspicious, but also Su Xingran felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. He couldn't help but turned cold and asked Chen Xiaomu: "Chen Tongpan, do you know this woman?"
Chen Xiaomu smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said gloomily: "I have no impression at all!"
At this time, Zhao Yiqiu who was standing by could not help but said: "Brother Xiaodai, I know this woman!"
"Oh!" When Zhao Yiqiu opened her mouth, Chen Xiaomu and Su Xingran's eyes instantly shifted to her face. At this moment, Chen Xiaomu suddenly remembered that he had not formally introduced Zhao Yiqiu to Su Xingran. He quickly introduced to Su Xingran: "'Your Majesty, this It’s Sister Zhao Yiqiu, the prime minister’s daughter, whom I played with since childhood when I was in Chen State. This time she specially came to visit me from Luo City, the capital of Chen State!”
After Chen Xiaomu's introduction, Zhao Yiqiu was about to come over to salute Su Xingran. Unexpectedly, Su Xingran stepped forward and took her hand. She said with a smile: "Miss Yiqiu, you don't have to be polite. I want to know. I just followed Qin Guolu." Who is that woman behind the Queen who keeps turning back?"
When Zhao Yiqiu heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Xiaomu. With this look, Chen Xiaomu suddenly realized that this woman was the one he and Zhao Yiqiu mentioned when they met outside Cicada City, who went to Chen State with Lu Yan and Gao Jianli to propose marriage to him. Princess Wu Luoqi of Qin!
