Chapter 90: Contradictions intensify
Luoyang City, Zining Palace.
Maybe Yuan Shao didn't expect it himself, he was just excited, and his voice was a little loud when he spoke, but it turned out to be interpreted by Queen He and the eldest prince Liu Wei that this was to give them a dismount.
Therefore, Empress He and the eldest prince Liu Wei were suddenly a little unhappy, but they didn't dare to say anything at this time, after all, he was Yuan Shao, and his seven thousand military horses were outside Luoyang City at the moment, if something happened to Yuan Shao, I am afraid it would lead to a war.
Although, both of them knew that if there was a real war, Yuan Shao would definitely lose, but after all, the war cost the people and money, not to mention, this was still when the eldest prince Liu Wei was ascending the throne, so he couldn't make such a big mess.
"Eh......" seemed to notice that his tone was a little abrupt, and Yuan Shao also reacted immediately, and hurriedly continued: "The minister received a decree from the queen mother yesterday, saying that he wanted to borrow my personal sword to take a look, so the minister brought Sizhao over, the queen mother, please take a look." ”
After speaking, Yuan Shao took off the Sizhao sword on his waist, held it with both hands, and then stepped forward to Queen He.
"Queen, please see."
Yuan Shao was already almost two meters away from Queen He, and it was this short two meters away that Yuan Shao seemed to be able to clearly smell the fragrance emanating from her body, which made Yuan Shao's heart feel relaxed.
At this time, Empress He was also stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, she stretched out her thin hand as smooth as jade grease and took over the Sizhao Sword.
When Empress He just took it, her hands suddenly sank, which couldn't help but make her frown, it seems that this sword really deserves its reputation, just in terms of weight, I am afraid it has already surpassed many weapons, and it should be a famous sword polished with special materials.
After Empress He summoned the sword, Yuan Shao was a little reluctant to retreat slowly, a few meters away from Empress He.
"This Sizhao Sword is indeed extraordinary." Although Empress He didn't understand these weapons used in battle, she held this Sizhao Sword at this time, and a domineering aura suddenly came from her body, and she looked at the people around her as if she was looking down on them.
"Emperor, take a look." Queen He carefully looked at the Sizhao sword, and the Sizhao sword had not yet been unsheathed at this time, so she just took it and looked at it.
On the side, the eldest prince Liu Wei, who had been staring at this Sizhao sword, had already been staring at this sword with the same name as the legendary seven-star sword.
As soon as Empress He handed it over, the eldest prince Liu Wei hurriedly caught it, and then looked at it carefully.
This scene suddenly made Yuan Shao a little displeased, because Sizhao Sword is his beloved thing, and how many lives and deaths he has experienced together, he is willing to show Queen He, that is because they are beautiful, and the eldest prince Liu Wei is just like a little child in his eyes.
However, even so, he Yuan Shao is not easy to say, after all, he is the son of Empress He, and no matter how he says, he will soon become the emperor of the entire Han Dynasty.
And the eldest prince Liu Bianyi took the Sizhao sword, felt the cold feeling it brought by it a few times, and then grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand, and held the scabbard with the other hand, and opened his hands slightly.
"Sneer......"
The Sizhao Sword was opened in an instant.
A beam of white light suddenly flashed, startling Queen He, and hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands.
The white light flashed, and a snow-white long sword was unsheathed, and the sword body was bright and extremely sharp, which made the eldest prince Liu Bian's heart tremble slightly.
"Good sword, good sword, good sword......"
The eldest prince Liu Wei shouted three times in a row, 'good sword', but this sword is very different, bright, extremely sharp, and it will always make people feel a great murderous aura, a killing aura.
The eldest prince, Liu Wei, secretly thought to himself that just by virtue of this killing qi, he might have a very strong advantage on the battlefield.
No wonder, he Yuan Shaohui is so outstanding in leading troops to fight, and this Sizhao Sword may also play a very important role!
The eldest prince stood up excitedly, and waved the Sizhao Sword in his hand, and the whistling sound that pierced the air sounded as quickly as lightning.
"It's no wonder that General Yuan is brave and invincible on the battlefield, presumably this Sizhao Sword also has a lot of credit!"
The eldest prince Liu Wei couldn't help but sigh, he himself clearly felt that it was not a lie that this Sizhao Sword was called as famous as the legendary Seven Star Treasure Sword.
And this is exactly the thing that worries him, such a good sword, is Yuan Shao willing to give it to him? I'm afraid not.
However, everyone is that this is a sword that only the Son of Heaven can have, if he can't have it, how can he be willing to let Yuan Shao have it alone?
"Hehehe...... General Yuan, this prince now looks at this Sizhao sword that can be as famous as the legendary seven-star sword, and loves it very much, I don't know that General Yuan can endure the pain and give this sword to this prince, if so, this prince will definitely reward you well. ”
After looking at this Sizhao Sword for a long time, the eldest prince Liu Wei said a little shamelessly.
Hearing this, Yuan Shao's face changed, and he couldn't help but feel a little disdain for the eldest prince Liu Wei in his heart.
He is willing to give this sword to Queen He, because he likes her, but if it is given to the eldest prince Liu Bian, then he will be a little unhappy in his heart, after all, the eldest prince Liu Bian has nothing to do with him.
"Returning to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, this ...... I'm afraid it's a bit embarrassing. Although Yuan Shao was unhappy in his heart, he also knew that he couldn't just say no at this time, he should still be tactful.
Hearing this, the eldest prince Liu Bian's face froze, and the surprise on his face disappeared in a flash, and on his somewhat immature face, a trace of coldness gradually emerged.
It seems that Yuan Shao is really still his opponent now, I'm afraid that Taifu Yuan Kui is the same!
Thinking of this, the eldest prince Liu Wei secretly made up his mind that the progress of getting rid of the Yuan family had to be accelerated again, otherwise he, who was about to become the emperor, would sooner or later be overshadowed by Taifu Yuan Kui, and Taifu Yuan Kui may be the second Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty.
"General Yuan, what does this mean? Won't you give me this Summoning Sword? The tone of the eldest prince Liu Wei gradually became a little cold, and even Queen He, who was sitting on the side, felt a trace of coolness.
Empress He looked at her son, and then raised her head to look at Yuan Shao, the two seemed to be on the bowstring, and they were about to burst.
"Returning to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, this Sizhao sword has been with the minister for many years, together for the Han Dynasty to make meritorious contributions, fought the battlefield, and has saved the minister's life many times, as far as the minister is concerned, Sizhao is like the minister's brother and relatives, the minister swore a long time ago, the sword is in the person, the sword is lost, the sword is lost, and the sword is forever."
"What if...... If His Royal Highness the Great Prince really wants to think about the call very much, then please ask His Royal Highness the Great Prince to give the minister a death, and the minister will never complain, I only hope that His Royal Highness the Great Prince can treat the call well in the future, and don't let him be nameless in the future. ”
Yuan Shao said with some sincerity, because he knew that the eldest prince Liu Wei at this time would definitely not dare to give him a death, not to mention anything else, just because he was Yuan Shao.
Behind him is the entire Yuan family, his uncle's status in the court is now unmatched, and he is a great general, quite prestigious in Hebei, and his younger brother Yuan Shu is also a good leader in battle.
The most important thing is that at this time, Yuan Shao's 7,000 army is still outside the east gate of Luoyang City, although such a deterrent force cannot be countered by the strength of the entire Luoyang City, and it cannot defeat the army of Luoyang City at all, but who feels that it will really cause this war? The eldest prince Liu Wei will definitely not, not to mention, his enthronement ceremony is imminent, and he will definitely not allow any mistakes.
Therefore, when Yuan Shao said this, the eldest prince Liu Wei also understood in his heart that he couldn't really do what Yuan Shao did, but this made him a little unwilling.
After thinking about it for a long time, the eldest prince Liu Wei had no choice but to smile and say, "Hehehe...... General Yuan was too worried, and the prince was just making a joke, so he didn't have to mind about it. ”
The eldest prince Liu Wei smiled, and then with a "snort", he put the Sizhao Sword in his hand back into the scabbard, then stood up, slowly walked in front of Yuan Shao, and handed it back.
"Come, General Yuan, today my mother and I just want to take a look at this Sizhao sword, and we have no other intentions, give."
Seeing this, Yuan Shao took the Sizhao Sword, then put it on his waist, and then waited quietly.
And the eldest prince on the side, Liu Wei, still thought that he had finished reading the Sizhao Sword and said some private words to his mother, but at this time, he saw Yuan Shao not moving, which made him so annoyed and a little inexplicable.
"General Yuan, I don't know what else you have to do?" Seeing that Yuan Shao didn't move, the eldest prince Liu Wei asked.
"This ......"
At this time, Yuan Shao was also a little embarrassed, because he really still had something, he wanted to talk to Queen He alone about his thoughts, he liked her, and he wanted to face her in his heart and say it.
However, the eldest prince Liu Wei is a little in the way here.
In fact, what Yuan Shao thought in his heart was that he could meet Queen He alone today, if Queen He really liked this Sizhao Sword, then he could also give her this Sizhao Sword as his love token.
Even he fantasized about being able to get close to Empress He today, but he didn't expect that the one who really wanted to see his Sizhao Sword was the little kid of the eldest prince Liu Bian, which made Yuan Shao extremely unhappy, and blamed all the dissatisfaction in his heart on the eldest prince Liu Bian.
In desperation, Yuan Shao had no choice but to say: "That minister...... I quit first. ”
