The night was as dark as water and the flames inside the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace were surging. Countless people's gazes were fixated on Wanyan Hao's face, paying attention to every single change there was.
The Great Jin royal family had contributed countless gold, silver, and jade pieces to the beauty. The quantity was not small, but there was nothing that caught the eyes of the Old Emperor, and the crowd of officials had even ruthlessly mocked the Great Jin.
Who would have thought that the other side would still be waiting here.
"Your Majesty, please look." Wanyan Hao opened his mouth to speak, but two strong men stepped forward together with a box in their hands.
He saw that the box was not made of stone, but that it was inlaid with many different kinds of gems. Regardless of what treasures were inside, just the box itself was already priceless.
When everyone saw this, they could not help but become more curious.
"The name of this bow is Zi Ming, and it is the treasure of our Great Jin. One hundred and thirty-nine years ago, Cheng Zu used this bow to unite the twenty-six clans and established the twenty-six clans as his Great Jin. This subject thinks that the heavens should be the warning, that there will be no more destiny for Great Jin to proclaim itself as a ruler. "
Warranty lifted her head and opened the long box, then said in an incomparably respectful tone, "This subject has dedicated this treasure to Your Majesty today. I wish that the Great Yan will unite the nations and unite them for eternity!"
With a humble attitude, this carriage took out all of the country's precious treasures. The people at the banquet began to discuss amongst themselves.
Zhao Yi who was seated on the dragon throne said, "Present."
Wang Liang immediately brought the two internal servant s to receive the box, and when the two sturdy men of Great Jin let go of the box, the weight of the box immediately crushed him and the two internal servant s. Since so many people of the Wanhua Palace were looking at them, they could only clench their teeth and endure.
A few insightful servants quickly went forward to help, and with five or six of them working together, they finally arrived in front of Old Emperor.
Wanyan Hao's words were respectful, making people unable to find the slightest fault with his words, but what he said was not so simple.
The significance of the Purple Bright Bow to Great Jin was similar to that of the previous generations of Sovereigns in the Great Yan who had taken over the Imperial Jade Seal. Treasures were indeed treasures, but if you took them, you couldn't just toss them into a corner to bury them.
You have to use it, and use it more smoothly than them using Great Jin.
Zhao Yi took the bow out of the box and lightly stroked the bowstring, but he didn't pull it. Instead, he praised," "It really is a bow.
His gaze swept across all the subjects and his gaze became heavier and heavier. The Great Yan was normally considered to be the work of a country, so the number of subjects that could wield this Purple Bright Bow could be counted on one hand.
Wanyan Hao said respectfully, "May I ask Your Majesty to broaden our horizons and see the power of an Emperor?"
Zhao Yi laughed, but the temperature in his eyes had completely disappeared.
All of the officials immediately felt that things were not good. These Great Jin people were not here to show their weakness, they were obviously here to bite people's bones while draped in sheepskin!
The Great Jin was known as the heart of the nation, and for almost a hundred years, it had not been able to pull the bow open.
Zhao Yi had not drawn his bow many times when he was young, so how could he display any sort of divine power to them when he was old? Furthermore, Wanyan Hao had previously said that only people with the authority of a king could pull this bow. If he could not pull the bow open, wouldn't he mean that he would be questioned about his life without becoming an emperor?
However, the problem had already been placed on such a high pedestal, so no one could think of a way to resolve it.
"Father!"
Zhao Zhi stood up and said: "This son has long heard that it is difficult to use the Purple Bright Bow, and has not been used for a hundred years, I am afraid it is already not very useful, may this son give it a try for royal father?"
"Sure."
Zhao Yi immediately agreed.
The Crown Prince's smile froze.
When the servants presented the Purple Bright Bow to Zhao Zhi, everyone was filled with anticipation. Since a young age, Prince Rui had always been a leading figure in terms of riding and shooting amongst the disciples of Dijing.
Zhao Zhi picked up the Purple Bright Bow, and its weight caused his face to twitch. Under the gazes of so many people, he forcefully held it in, and pulled the bow with all his might. However, he was not willing to let go just like that, and for a moment, he was covered in sweat.
The crowd was completely silent.
Seeing this, Wanyan Hao's face was filled with surprise: I didn't know that there are even rules for drawing the bow, we need to learn this properly!
Zhao Zhi wasn't just chanting! He could not pull the bow open, yet he had no face to give up. That was why he held on like this!
Everyone present understood what he meant but did not dare to say anything else. Thus, they could only allow Prince Rui to keep his movements in a stalemate. On a winter night, sweat continuously dripped from his head.
No one said anything. Old Emperor's expression became more and more unsightly.
The leader of the Imperial Guards, Qiao Yuanfei stepped forward and said, "This is the first time this subject has seen such a good bow and it feels itchy at the moment. Could you please let this subject have a taste of it first?"
Zhao Zhi immediately let go of the bow and was about to hand it over.
Not far away, Wanyan Hao slowly said: "In my Great Jin, only the previous kings and their descendants are able to touch this Purple Bright Bow …" He paused for a moment. "If anyone else tries to touch us, we'll have to destroy our entire family with a thousand cuts."
Everyone at the banquet fell into endless silence when they heard this.
Since the Prince Rui was a prince, it was reasonable for him to help the Old Emperor with his bow. However, Qiao Yuanfei was a foreign official, so there was no need for him to say something else. According to Wanyan Hao, he had taken on the title of usurper for no reason at all.
Who would dare to come forward?
The Little Princess who was by Wen Jiu's side became anxious and muttered incessantly, "There is only the Second Imperial Brother who practices martial arts in the Imperial Family. If he can't even open it, who else can?"
The young nobles were anxious and began to discuss amongst themselves. The noble sons and juniors on the opposite side were strangely quiet, afraid that they would be implicated if they made even the slightest sound.
Wen Jiu couldn't help but turn his head to look at the palace door. There were bright lights, but the youth still hadn't appeared.
Zhao Jingyi drank the wine in his cup and threw the empty cup at the ground, "Now that I hear it, I think it's rather interesting."
Everyone heard a crisp sound. The Eldest Princess, dressed in bright red clothes, stood up from the crowd of female servants. "Royal father, this son wishes to enjoy this Purple Radiant Bow, too."
Wen Jiu listened to her casual tone and completely treated her Great Jin as the nation's most precious treasure, the Purple Radiant Bow, as a toy.
The subjects' expressions all changed as they discussed in low voices, "How can she let us go? "No way!"
"Eldest Princess is usually ridiculous, but this is a national banquet, how can it be like this …"
"Be quiet …"
Wen Jiu said in a low voice: "Princess."
Zhao Jingyi, who had not received a response from the Old Emperor all this time, lowered his gaze. You think I shouldn't, too? "
"No."
Wen Jiu laughed: "I want to ask Princess, do you need me to roll up your sleeves for you?"
Zhao Yu looked over and frowned: "You haven't had a drink either, how did you become this crazy?"
It was because of his arrogance that Zhao Zhi had suffered so much, and even now, he was still held up on stage by someone. Just look how smart the crown prince was, he didn't say a word from start to finish.
Zhao Jingyi glanced at her, "Your child doesn't understand anything, speak less!"
The little princess pursed her lips and didn't say a word.
"Thank you, Young Madame." Zhao Jingyi raised his hand and gave it to Wen Jiu, and laughed: "I wonder if you can help me roll up my sleeves, how much power can I lend your brother?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
