Chapter 39: The Prime Minister is Cowardly but Really Tempting 9

On the fifth day of the eleventh month, all the countries came to pay tribute.

In the Qiqing Hall, envoys from various countries sat on both sides, and on the middle steps was the dragon throne.

Shen Yu just sat there, watching Ning Zhi toasting with another man.

And she smiles so beautifully!

The wine cup in his hand slammed onto the table, making a loud noise.

The envoys who were paying tribute knelt down at the steps and shouted "Your Majesty, please spare my lives", thinking that the emperor was not satisfied with the tribute they had presented.

How could Ning Zhi not understand? He tilted his head back to drink, hiding the smile on the corner of his lips with his sleeves.

The king's uncle and the envoy from the State of Li looked at each other and remained silent.

Shen Yu withdrew his gaze and waved his hand to let the envoys who came to pay tribute leave.

The next one was the envoy from the State of Li, who only brought one tribute.

"Your Majesty, this is the most precious treasure of our Li Kingdom. It is called the Mirror of the Heart, and it can distinguish the loyalty and treachery of a person's heart."

Shen Yu was somewhat curious, "How to tell the difference?"

The envoy from the State of Li lifted the red cloth, revealing an ordinary iron mirror, which was not even inlaid with any gems.

The uncle sneered, "The envoy is bullying us because we have no one in the Qi Dynasty. You dare to fool us with such a thing!"

The envoy picked up the mirror and looked at himself, but what appeared in the mirror was not his clothes, but a red heart. Everyone who saw it was shocked.

He looked in the mirror and walked around the hall, letting everyone, especially Shen Yu, see clearly, "Your Majesty, please look here, this is my heart, it is extremely loyal to you."

Shen Yu subconsciously looked in Ning Zhi's direction and exchanged glances with him.

Dandan, [Lord God, that mirror is amazing, even more powerful than X-rays! ]

[Heh, a little trick that is not presentable. ]

The envoy looked around the store, walked up to Ning Zhi, bowed slightly, and said, "I've heard that Prime Minister Ning risked his life to save Your Majesty, so I'm sure he has a sincere heart. Why don't you take a photo and show everyone what a sincere heart looks like?"

Ning Zhi said, "Okay, the envoy will take the photo."

The prince's uncle stared at the mirror closely, and the curve of his lips could hardly be suppressed.

No matter whether Ning Zhi is loyal or treacherous, what will be revealed is only a black heart.

We'll see how he proves his loyalty then.

While the envoy was looking in the mirror, Ning Zhi looked around at the expressions of the ministers.

As expected, the king's uncle was gloating, and most of the other ministers were just watching the show. Only Qi Zhenglin looked worried.

No wonder these two people can be together happily in the original plot. Looking at this touching brotherhood, it would be strange if they didn't fall in love with each other over time.

"Black-hearted, it's black-hearted, Your Majesty!"

The uncle immediately knelt down and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Ning Zhi is on good terms with Queen Mother and Prince Yi, so he must be a member of the rebel party. I'm afraid that the arrow was also a show. Please arrest Ning Zhi immediately and restore order to the court!"

Look, look, this uncle of the king speaks righteously and calls for war and killing. I don't know if he thinks that he is the one in charge of Daqi.

Shen Yu stared at the mirror for a moment and said, "Nonsense."

Ning Zhi stepped forward at the right time and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask the envoy."

"allow."

Ning Zhi took the mirror and looked at the envoy again, saying, "The envoy's heart is red, which shows that he is loyal to His Majesty."

The envoy nodded quickly and expressed his loyalty again. The king's uncle felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"What a joke!" The iron mirror was thrown back into the wooden box, and the 'bang' sound was enough to wake people up.

"The envoy is a Li countryman, but he is loyal to Daqi. Is such a traitor worthy of a red heart?"

As soon as Ning Zhi said this, the envoy's expression suddenly changed and he quickly looked at the king's uncle.

"What is the envoy looking at the prince? Does the prince think what I said is wrong?"

The uncle was sweating in his heart and nodded, "Prime Minister Ning is right."

Ning held his hands behind his back and continued, "Let's talk about this heart again. Since it is the heart of a living person, has anyone seen that heartbeat?"

There were whispers in the hall, among which "yes" and "I didn't see it" were the most obvious.

Shen Yu's eyes lit up slightly, and he replied, "I didn't see it."

Even the emperor didn’t see it, so who dares to say that he saw it?

Then a chorus of voices arose in the hall, saying that the envoy was lying and that that was not the heart of a living person.

Ning Zhi picked up the iron mirror again, walked to the center of the hall, and gave the envoy a final blow. "And this is not a mirror to reflect the heart at all, it's just a trick. Everyone, please look!"

The next moment, the iron mirror was thrown to the ground, the mirror surface shattered, and the middle was empty, revealing two hearts.

"The two hearts are separated by a lens, and there is a mechanism underneath. When needed, just touch the mechanism and the hearts will be swapped, and the red heart will become a black heart."

"Besides, this isn't a heart at all. It's just a painted wood sculpture."

"It turns out to be like this. Prime Minister Ning is really smart."

"Bah, Li Guo is really a dung beetle wearing a mask - shameless, he almost wronged Ning Xiang."

"That's it."

"What envoy? Beat him out with sticks!"

The envoy stood there in shock, unable to believe it. How could anyone know the secret behind this?

Ning Zhi kicked the frame to the envoy and chuckled, "You are wondering how the true face would know?"

The prince's uncle stepped back calmly, fearing that he would be implicated.

The envoy picked up the mirror frame and said, "You are talking nonsense! This is clearly the most precious treasure of our Li Kingdom!"

Ning Zhi smiled and said, "A treasure? It's just a toy I made when I was young."

"…!What did you say?"

Ning Zhi said, "If the envoy does not believe me, you can look at the iron mirror frame and see the words I personally carved - Yin Yang Double Heart Mirror?"

He also saw it by accident and remembered that the original owner had made such a mirror.

The envoy checked it with shaking hands, then collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

They originally wanted to use this opportunity to kill Ning Zhi and weaken the new emperor's power, but they did not expect that they would end up losing more than they gained and even got themselves involved.

If Da Qi starts a war on this ground, he will only be a sinner of the State of Li.

Ning Zhi glanced at the uncle casually and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know how this thing ended up in the Kingdom of Li, and I never thought it would be used to cause chaos. I am guilty, and I beg Your Majesty to punish me severely."

The envoy, who was already in despair, felt completely relieved after hearing these words.

Ning Zhi, a mirror maker, demanded severe punishment, so what about him, a troublemaker?

Torn apart by five horses? Torn to pieces by a chariot?

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! I am an envoy of the Kingdom of Li. Even when two countries are at war, envoys are not killed. Besides, this is just a tribute! Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"

Shen Yu looked at Ning Zhi with fiery eyes. He didn't expect that his father-in-law was so powerful.

Like it more.

It’s not particularly against our ancestors to find such a great person to accompany you for life.

"Drag him away and execute him. Send a message to the Kingdom of Li to pay double tribute, otherwise my cavalry will destroy the capital of Li."

The envoy was still begging for mercy, "Uncle, save me! Uncle, save me!"

The uncle was horrified and drew out his guard's sword to stab him to death, "How dare you to frame me!"

Shen Yu said nothing, just looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person.
