Chapter 81 Birthday Ceremony Turmoil (3)

Now let's say that Shao Changyun saw that King Huai's face was full of color, but his heart was full of worries. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He knew that the purpose of King Huai's use of such a precious ebony carving as a box was just to suppress King Kang and defeat him in this congratulatory gift. Having said that, King Huai forgot that the preciousness of the ebony was far from something that he could easily enjoy as a prince.

This ebony is invaluable, even if King Huai is frugal in every way, counting his years of money and rewards in the palace, it is far less valuable than the lid of the ebony box.

In this case, where did these silver coins of King Huai come from? I'm afraid that even a clear-eyed person will have such doubts. And one of Emperor Xiao's taboos is the use of power for personal gain and profiteering.

Now, King Huai's undisguised behavior is tantamount to seeking his own death. Although there is a queen behind him to clean up all kinds of messes for him, if one day, when the big tree behind him collapses, I am afraid that it will be a bottomless abyss. At that time, this former crime will undoubtedly smooth out King Huai's last hope of turning over.

But who would be so eager to hold the handle of King Huai? Is it King Kang? Still is......

Shao Changyun was full of doubts in his heart, and a glimmer of light suddenly flashed from it. He slowly straightened out the guesses in his mind one by one, and picked out a bold guess from the middle.

This ebony is rare in the world, far from being as easy to find as King Huai said. But this ebony has such a coincidence, it is difficult to guarantee that someone does not want to use this wood to attract the suspicion of Emperor Xiao, and then investigate the crime of King Huai abusing power for personal gain, so that King Kang's faction is dominant. If there is that time, the situation in the middle of the court will inevitably be unstable, and Emperor Xiao will not do nothing, and will definitely take action to weaken the power of King Kang. If you take advantage of the situation, it is impossible to say that King Kang's faction will be silent forever, and there will be no place to turn over.

From this point of view, the biggest winner behind this show is self-evident.

Thinking of this, Shao Changyun glanced at Lian Wang Xiao Yuan as if unintentionally. Seeing that his expression was plain, there was no trace of abnormality, and he was pouring himself the wine during the banquet as if no one was around. It was as if everything in front of everyone was as he expected.

King Lian drank all the remnants of wine in the cup, and suddenly felt a shallow gaze pass over his face. He tilted his head slightly, locked his eyes on Shao Changyun, and said with his lips: "Autumn has arrived, and the leaves will fall." Why don't you and I drink together and watch this show together. ”

Shao Changyun understood the meaning of King Lian's words, and became more and more sure of his suspicions. He took the pot and poured it for himself, but he never took a bite. He flicked his fingers twice, and the wine in the cup flowed out from the edge of the cup, blurring a little bit of shallow water between his sleeves.

"When the moon is full, it is lost, and when the water is full, it overflows." Shao Changyun's move seems to be inadvertent, but there is another metaphor. He compared it to water, and his demeanor also happened to imply these eight words.

As soon as King Lian saw Shao Changyun's move, he knew that he had broken the situation he had set up. King Lian knew very well that "when the moon is full, it will be lost, and when the water is full, it will overflow", and his intention in setting up this bureau is to find a foothold for himself in the court.

At present, King Lian has always been transparent in the court, and there is no obvious power to rival King Kang and King Huai. If King Lian confronts him head-on, he will undoubtedly hit a stone with an egg.

It was precisely because King Lian understood this truth that he intended to take the lead in launching King Kang and exalt the power in his hands to the highest place. then borrowed the hands of Emperor Xiao and King Huai to suppress him as much as possible. But he himself retreated into the background and secretly pushed it, so that King Kang's faction had no hope of turning over in the succession. In this way, Emperor Xiao will definitely support the new prince and restrain King Huai. At that time, he will borrow the hand of Emperor Xiao again, and it will not be cheap to insert the battle for the heir in a grand manner.

It is precisely because of this that everything that happened in the palace today was expected by King Lian, and he was leisurely and smiled and watched the play. But Shao Changyun always had his eyebrows high, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest. Although he inadvertently broke through the situation set up by King Lian, he didn't mean it, so he didn't care about what happened afterward. Shao Changyun was worried about something else.

Since that day, as soon as the Changting gathered and Zhao Wenhua warned him, Shao Changyun knew that she would not let go easily. In the past few days, because of Shao Changyun's various precautions, Zhao Wenhua has never succeeded. And today is her last chance to make a move. is as ruthless as her, and she will not easily give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Because of this, since entering the hall, Shao Changyun has locked all his energy on Zhao Wenhua. But who knew that at this time, the night banquet was coming to an end, but Zhao Wenhua did not do anything unusual. But the more this happened, the more uneasy Shao Changyun felt in his heart.

As for Zhao Wenhua's poisonous plan, this is a later article, and I will not show it for the time being.

Let's say that this Emperor Xiao saw that everyone under the stairs had different expressions, leaned forward slightly, glanced at the ebony carved box, and said in a flat tone: "It's just a box, it's hard to find this piece of good material for you." ”

King Huai bowed his head respectfully, and said in a flattering tone: "This object presented to my father's eyes is a delicate matter, and there must be no sloppiness. In this world, only this ebony, known as the 'Honor of Lingmu', can be worthy of the identity of his father, the first emperor of the ages. ”

When Emperor Xiao heard this, he rubbed the wine cup in his hand, and his expression was still flat. Only between the slightly raised arcs of his lips can he glimpse a hint of lightness of joy.

King Kang pouted slightly, and was a little unconvinced at the moment. He had already seen that the wooden box was expensive, but just this wooden box wanted to steal his limelight, how could King Kang be willing. Then he said angrily: "The third brother, my brother didn't see it, you are really a big deal." ”

"My brother is just showing a little filial piety." King Huai said disapprovingly.

"But a small box is so luxurious, it is really extravagant and wasteful." When King Kang heard this, he couldn't help but snort coldly. "I don't know if the third brother remembers the allusion of the Chu people buying the pearls, but don't just blindly pursue the gorgeousness on this side, but in the end it will end up in a noisy endgame."

King Kang's words were punns, and every sentence was directed at King Huai. On the surface, this statement is to say that the ebony box is extravagant and wasteful. But in the dark, it is to ridicule King Huai for not measuring his own strength, relying on the queen and queen, so he wants to spy on the emperor and the supreme.

King Huai heard the meaning of King Kang's words, but he didn't know. With a respectful face, he walked to the carved wooden box and took a scroll from within. borrowed the hand of the small inner supervisor next to him and unfolded all the scrolls in front of Emperor Xiao's eyes.

I saw that on the scroll, densely written with all kinds of longevity characters, its characters were different, and there was no similarity in the same scroll. For 10,000 "longevity", there are 10,000 ways to write it. The scale of its project is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

King Huai proudly glanced at everyone in the hall, the pride between his eyebrows suddenly appeared, and he said respectfully: "This picture of longevity is a birthday gift for his father. ”

King Huai's voice was about to fall, and he heard a sudden exclamation from his side.

Predict what's going on and listen to the next breakdown.
