The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne

Chapter 167: Iron Tree Blooms and Water Flows Backwards

It's night, it's morning meeting.

The empress sat on the phoenix chair, and all the civil and military officials stood in two rows.

The Left Prime Minister stood in the row of civil officials, and the Grand Chamberlain led the eunuchs to stand in various places in the palace.

The generals' group stood on the right, and the one standing in the front was Ye Qianxuan.

The Left Prime Minister glanced at Ye Qianxuan sideways, feeling very unhappy.

It would be fine if the Grand Chamberlain was on an equal footing with me!

How could you, a corpse-sewer who was just promoted to the rank of Third-Rank Alchemist Admiral, do this?!

However, the Left Prime Minister was extremely cunning and quickly regained his composure.

After all, this Ye Qianxuan was the one who made the empress make an exception to hold a court meeting at night, so he should be on equal footing with himself.

The chief eunuch nodded slightly to Ye Qianxuan and smiled in response.

It is obvious that Zhao Wuji wants to win over Ye Qianxuan.

In fact, it’s not just Zhao Wuji who wants to win over Ye Qianxuan.

All the civil and military officials witnessed with their own eyes how this corpse tailor rose from the back of the court to the front!

"I believe all officials are aware of my intentions during today's court meeting."

The empress was dressed in a phoenix robe, looking majestic and elegant:

"I was once told by the old man Tianji that my destiny is to be a god who can make iron trees bloom and water flow backwards!"

"I have always believed that Ye Qianxuan is my destined man."

"I am holding a court meeting tonight to let all the officials witness whether Ye Qianxuan is the man destined by heaven."

When the iron tree blossoms and the water flows back? !

Many civil and military officials were still unaware of the inside story, and at this moment they were whispering to each other.

How could anyone possibly do this!

"Your Majesty, I believe this is nothing more than Elder Tianji's denial."

The civil service group had the deepest grudge against Ye Qianxuan, so the left prime minister was the first to stand up and sing a different tune.

Many civil service groups also expressed their agreement.

If you want me to marry you, it would be impossible unless the iron tree blooms and the water flows backwards. This is clearly a denial!

Because how in this world could anyone possibly make the iron tree bloom and the water flow backwards?!

The Empress said, "I thought so at first."

"But Ye Qianxuan said that he has a way to do it tonight."

"Therefore, I have come to ask you all to be witnesses."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the court.

"What?! He's a corpse seamer, but he can actually make the iron tree bloom and the water flow backwards?!"

"How is that possible! A cast iron tree only blooms once every ten thousand years, and water can never flow backwards. How can a corpse tailor like him do that?"

"Let's see! This craftsman Ye never plays by the rules. Who knows, maybe he can really do it?!"

"If he can do that, I will take off this official robe and become a monk in Qingfeng Temple!"

Listening to the discussions of the ministers in the court, most of them still did not believe it.

The Left Prime Minister sneered, "Your Majesty, you think too highly of this corpse tailor!"

“To make the iron tree bloom and the water flow backwards is something even the sages of Confucianism and Taoism cannot do!”

Everyone agreed.

Confucian and Taoist sages can use literature to disrupt the law.

However, it is impossible to make the iron tree bloom and the water flow backwards, which is completely against the laws of nature.

Ye Qianxuan didn't say anything either, just remained silent.

Because he knows that no matter how much nonsense he talks, it is not as effective as a slap in the face.

The Empress looked at Ye Qianxuan and smiled slightly, saying, "Lord Ye, show me how you can make the iron tree bloom and the water flow backwards!"

Ye Qianxuan nodded: "Then I will show you, my lords, how I can make the water flow backwards!"

Ye Qianxuan waved his hand, and then a group of alchemists from the Alchemist Department came in carrying water tanks, kettles, bamboo poles and vacuum water pumps.

When the other officials saw these things, they all showed great confusion on their faces.

Afterwards, Ye Qianxuan ordered people to fill the kettle with water from the water tank and then pour it down the bamboo pole.

Place the bamboo pole on one end of the vacuum water pump and shake the handle vigorously. The other end of the vacuum water pump will spray upwards and return directly to the pot again!

The officials in the court were all shocked by this scene!

It can really make the water flow backwards!

"This...this...how did you do this?"

The Minister of Justice asked in shock.

Ye Qianxuan said: "This is a secret. If everyone else knew about it, wouldn't His Majesty's chosen ones be gone everywhere?!"

The ministers of the military attaché group all nodded in agreement, thinking that this was the truth.

The Minister of Justice was speechless and could only retreat back to his position.

The left prime minister's brows twitched and he couldn't utter a word.

The empress stepped down from the phoenix chair and personally inspected the vacuum pump. Then, looking at the backflowing water column, she couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, Ye Qianxuan really made the water flow backwards!"

"It seems that he is really my destined man!"

After the empress spoke, the ministers in the court could not say anything more.

At this time, the Left Prime Minister retorted: "Your Majesty, the iron tree blooming and the water flowing backwards are two different things."

"Use some tricks to make the water flow backwards, it's nothing!"

“The most important thing is to make the iron tree bloom!”

Many people from the civil service group also echoed: "That's right! Being able to make the iron tree bloom is truly powerful!"

"It's just letting the water flow backwards, what's the big deal?"

At this time, they all put away their shocked expressions, expressed disdain for the water flowing backwards, and believed that only by making the iron tree bloom could he truly be the empress's destined person.

The reason why the civil service group is so obstructive is because they don’t want the military group to grow stronger!

Ye Qianxuan is too strong.

If the empress reunites with Ye Qianxuan, the position of the military officer group will be unshakable.

Especially Zhao Wuji, the opportunistic dog, also wanted to surrender after seeing this.

By then, the eunuch group and the military officer group will become friends or even merge, and the civil officer group will have to surrender even if they don't want to.

The Empress looked at Ye Qianxuan and said, "Do you have a way to make the iron tree bloom?"

Ye Qianxuan bowed and said, "Of course!"

"Your Majesty and all the gentlemen, please follow me to the Imperial Garden!"

The ministers looked at each other, and although they saw disbelief in each other's eyes, they still went to the Imperial Garden with Ye Qianxuan and the Empress.

There is an iron tree in this imperial garden.

The iron tree is eight meters tall and covered with dead branches, so it will never bloom.

Ye Qianxuan found an angle and asked the empress and the ministers to stand properly.

Everyone was confused.

The people in the civil service group also sneered:

"Master Ye! Can you make the iron tree bloom?!"

"How can the iron tree bloom in the middle of the night?!"

"Legend has it that the iron tree blooms only once every ten thousand years. I don't believe you'll be able to catch it tonight!"

The empress also looked at Ye Qianxuan curiously, wondering how he could make the iron tree bloom!

"Don't worry, everyone." Ye Qianxuan took out a flare, fired it into the sky, and said calmly:

"I'll make the iron tree bloom right now!"

Flares streaked across the night sky.
