At this moment, Lin Beifan slowly stood up and clasped his hands.""Your Majesty, I have a method that I can try!”
"Good! Please try!" the empress said loudly.
Lin Beifan continued to clasp his hands." However, I need to prepare some things for my plan. Your Majesty, please grant my wish!"”
"If you need anything, just say it!”the empress said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" "I need some dried fungus and clear water!" Lin Beifan shouted.”
In less than half an incense's time.
The two eunuchs brought the dried fungus and clean water over.
Lin Beifan quickly ground the dried fungus into powder and poured it into the keyhole of the Thousand Miles River and Mountain Box.
Then, he immediately dripped a few drops of water to let the fungus absorb the water.
Finally, he pressed his hand on the keyhole of the box.
In less than a minute, the box opened by itself with a click, revealing the Kazuki inside.
All the officials and envoys from Doro Country were shocked.
"This…the Thousand Mile River and Mountain Box actually opened by itself?”
"How did you open it? Without a key, how did he open it?”
"How did he do it? What demonic technique did you use?"
"This is too puzzling!"
……
Lin Beifan handed the box and the book of peace to the old eunuch. Then, he calmly clasped his hands."Your Majesty, I didn't disappoint you and opened the Thousand Miles River and Mountain Box!”
"Good, good, good!"
The empress called out three times before she was overjoyed and said,"My dear minister, how did you do this? Quickly tell me about it!"
Everyone pricked up their ears to listen.
"The method is actually very simple!"
Lin Beifan smiled and said," As the saying goes, everything is the same. No matter how ingenious the design of this lock is, the principle of unlocking it is the same! As long as he pushed open all the reeds inside, he would be able to open the lock!”
"So, I used dried fungus! Dried wood ears had a special feature, which was that they could expand rapidly after absorbing water! Therefore, I ground the dried fungus into powder and poured it into the keyhole! Then, he added water and sealed the keyhole! The wood ear powder swelled up after absorbing water, and there was nowhere to go. He could only push open the reed inside, and the lock would naturally open!”
Ancient locks were not as complicated as they were now.
There was a reed inside, and the key would open when inserted. Even if the key was lost, it could still be opened with another key. The anti-theft ability was especially poor. Although the design was complicated, it was just a few reeds.
Therefore, Lin Beifan opened it very easily.
This was the power of science!
If you learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry well, you won't be afraid even if you go to another world!
"I see!"
Regardless of whether they understood or not, they all nodded.
Prince Hamu looked deeply at Lin Beifan and asked,""This lord is…"
"His name is Lin Beifan. He's the new top scorer this year!" The empress smiled proudly. He is knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and has outstanding abilities. He is my trusted general!”
"Your Majesty, you flatter me. I don't dare to admit defeat!”Lin Beifan took a step back.
When things are done, brush away your body and hide your achievements and fame.
In modern terms, it was to run after acting cool!
The empress opened the book and nodded in satisfaction."I accept the peace treaty from Doro Country! However, they still needed to discuss the compensation!”
"Of course! This is a serious matter, and coupled with the fatigue of the journey, I want to go back and prepare!”
"Yes, send the guest out!" the empress said.
Prince Hamu bowed and led the envoy away.
Before he left, he looked deeply at Lin Beifan.
Lin Beifan felt that the two of them would meet again in the future.
At this moment, the empress said in high spirits,"Minister Lin, come forward and listen to the conferment!"
"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Lin Beifan stood up.
"In the meeting with the envoy of Doro Country, Minister Lin, you are wise, brave, and resourceful. You have protected our country's face.”
"Ten thousand taels of silver! 10 bolts of silk and satin each! 10 jars of Golden Jade Liquid Wine! A pair of top-grade jade ruyi! Two Ferghana Horses…"
The empress spat out a pile of rewards from her mouth.
Lin Beifan's eyelids twitched when he heard that!
What was wrong with the empress? He had only done something insignificant, yet she had given him so much?
Wasn't this too overbearing?
All the officials felt their stomachs ache.
This brat had only made a small contribution, yet he had actually given him so much. Wasn't he too biased?
We've been officials for decades, but we've never been rewarded like this.
Sour, sour, sour, so sour that my teeth would fall out!
Therefore, they all spoke.
"Your Majesty, you must not!"
"Your Majesty, please retract your order!"
……
The empress frowned and said unhappily," Minister Lin has made a contribution. Is it wrong for me to reward him?"”
"Your Majesty, it's not wrong for Your Majesty to reward Siye for his meritorious service! However, you've rewarded him too much. Lin Siye's contribution isn't that much! Therefore, please retract your order, Your Majesty!" An old official said.
"Your Majesty, please retract your order!" The officials said in unison.
The empress was so angry that she wanted to kill this group of people!
He had finally found a reason to reward Lin Beifan!
In the end, you guys actually caused trouble for me!
"Many? I don't think it's much at all!"
The empress laughed coldly, slammed the table, and stood up."Just now, when the envoy from the Daluo Kingdom made things difficult for us, none of you managed to do anything. You almost caused our Dawu Kingdom to lose face! It's already not bad that I didn't punish you for your crimes, but you actually stopped me from rewarding meritorious officials. What are your intentions?”
