After the prince presented the treasure, he was rewarded by the Han Emperor, and the officials praised him, and the ministers were convinced.

Next, it will be the turn of King Ning Liu Xun to start offering treasures, when the celebrant shouted that King Ning was invited to offer treasures, everyone held their breath and stared, all of them stopped and looked forward to whether King Ning's treasures could be overwhelmed?

Emperor Han was still stroking the golden statue of the Nine Dragons to win the pearl, and when he heard the celebrant shouting to invite King Ning to offer treasure, he turned around and smiled at Liu Xun, and it could be seen that Emperor Han was in a good mood at the moment, after all, he had just shown his national prestige in front of foreign envoys, and now it was time to see what treasure King Ning would offer?

The corners of the crown prince Liu Yan's mouth raised slightly, and he felt that he had already won the battle, and seeing that King Ning seemed to be a little at a loss, he couldn't help but show a smile of contempt.

Liu Xun had beads of sweat rolling on his forehead at this time, and after seeing the prince's gift, he was obviously a little nervous, although he tried his best to restrain his emotions, he still couldn't help but get his palms wet. Liu Xun's hand trembled a little and took a brocade box from the guard's hand, and his heart began to churn, if the gift that Lu Zuo helped me prepare was ugly in front of everyone, wouldn't it be disgraced, and suddenly began to regret why he didn't use the gift he had prepared.

In front of everyone, Liu Xun came to his father with a brocade box in his hand, Liu Yan laughed in his heart, and he could finally relieve his anger later.

Emperor Han looked at the brocade box in Liu Xun's hand with interest, "Xun'er, what is this?" ”

"Returning to my father, although the treasures prepared by the sons are not as precious as those of His Royal Highness the Prince, they represent the filial piety of the sons."

"Oh!" Emperor Han pointed to the treasure, looked left and right and smiled proudly, "Then open it and take a look!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Xun slowly opened the brocade box, and with the exclamation of everyone, it turned out to be just a plain bottle. Everyone looked at the items in King Ning's hands with disdain, and Emperor Han couldn't help but point to the bottle and ask Liu Xun, "Xun'er, this is ...... What does this bottle mean? ”

Liu Xunqiang calmed down, swallowed his saliva, and prepared to follow Lu Zuo's words, "Back to my father, this bottle is just an ordinary bottle, and the common people have it at home, the key is the things in this bottle, which is not filled with anything else, but a bottle of wine!" The son dared to ask his father to give it a try, but I don't know if it is possible? ”

As soon as everyone heard that it was a bottle of wine, there was an uproar in the square in an instant, and they all laughed and pointed, "Isn't it just a bottle of wine?" ”

Emperor Han frowned, and he was very strange about what his second son would do, he had never given such a prosaic thing in previous years? Emperor Han was puzzled, so he nodded, "Come on!" Bring the cup! ”

The eunuch took out two cups from behind, Liu Xun, the king of Ning, slowly poured wine for the two cups, the eunuch raised one of the glasses, and was about to taste the wine in person, when the Han Emperor raised his hand and signaled that he didn't have to taste the wine, and the Han Emperor stepped forward and prepared to drink it himself.

When Emperor Han condensed his eyebrows and saw the color of the wine in the cup, he couldn't help frowning, pointed to the wine and smiled: "The color of this wine is actually pink, haha...... I would like to taste what kind of wine King Ning can offer to me at such an important event. ”

Emperor Han raised the wine glass, sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and instantly a floral fragrance came to his nose, this familiar smell made Emperor Han intoxicated, so he couldn't wait to close his eyes and take a sip on his lips, and then drank it all, and praised again and again: "Good wine!" Wine! It's really good wine! ”

At this moment, the people in the square looked at each other, unclear. Emperor Han then put the empty cup back on the plate, picked up another glass, drank the wine in one gulp, then raised the empty glass in his hand, and laughed: "This is 'Taolu Spring Wine', there is no one in ten thousand wines." This wine can only be concocted by Mr. Geng Nande, the former director of the Good Brewing Department, but he passed away last month. ”

Liu Xun had gained confidence at this moment, and a smile appeared on his face, "Back to my father, this wine Erchen took a lot of effort to concoct it successfully, it was Erchen who bathed and fasted for nine days a few years before Mr. Geng Nande was alive, and his old man told him the secret method, but this wine is difficult to concoct, even if you get the secret method, if you don't have patience, it is difficult to refine this wine!" ”

Everyone looked at Liu Xun curiously, and Emperor Han also asked in surprise: "Oh? And this doorway? Tell me, how do you make this wine? ”

"This wine must be selected on the day of the beginning of the spring solar term and the first day of the sun and unmelted dew six taels, the first few drops of rain on the day of the solar term rain six taels, the rain on the day of the solar term valley rain six taels, and then choose the first peach blossom that blooms at the spring equinox two taels, and the peach blossom must have never bloomed on the seedlings, peach trees that have bloomed in previous years, absolutely not. Then there will be peaches on the day of the beginning of summer, and they must be the trees that grow peaches for the first time. ”

Everyone was full of praise after listening to King Ning's introduction, and even the old marshal Zhou Zhongwang, who was watching from the sidelines, gave a thumbs up and said, "King Ning is really virtuous and filial!" ”

Yang Youxian, the secretary of Dali Temple, also stepped forward and took the opportunity to praise: "This ten thousand taels of gold is easy to get, but a piece of filial piety is hard to find!" ”

Immediately afterwards, there was another round of applause in the square, Liu Yan gritted his teeth in anger, but he also had to applaud.

Several foreign envoys not far away also gave a thumbs up to Emperor Han, and some said in strange accents: "The Han Dynasty is really a treasure of things, not only that, but also the father and son are filial, it is really a country of benevolence and virtue......

The corners of the Han Emperor's mouth raised a smug smile, squinted his eyes slightly and looked around, and saw that everyone in the square was cheering again and again, and he was also proud.

After appreciating the treasure, it is already sunset, the clouds in the west are spreading, thousands of palace lamps are also lit, and there is a sea of red in the square.

Then the treasure was removed, the banquet table was put on, there were a total of ninety-nine tables, each table was not the same dish, hot dishes, cold dishes, soup dishes were all available, the colors and shapes of the mountains and seas were very rich, and the banquet was opened under the order of the Han Emperor.

In the Tao Mansion under the sunset, a melodious piano sound passes through the treetops and circulates in the evening breeze. Lao Pan of the gatehouse was holding the lamp under the eaves, while Yin Ji was sitting under the stone steps of the courtyard, listening to Lu Zuo's piano while wiping the Zhan Lu sword in his hand.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came, Chen Huizhi's footsteps hurried, and saw Lu Zuo stroking the piano under the locust tree, and the two strode in front of him. Lu Zuo unhurriedly stopped the strings in his hand, slowly stood up, walked behind Yin Ji, patted Yin Ji on the shoulder, and motioned for him to hand the sword to him. Yin Ji quickly stood up and handed it to Master. Chen Huizhi followed behind him, looking at Lu Zuo curiously, speechless for a while.

After Lu Zuo took the Zhan Lu sword, he gently blew towards the extremely sharp blade, the sword blade roared, and then Lu Zuo asked lightly: "Retreat, why don't you say it?" ”
