More than forty addicts were brought to the court, plus dozens of Jin Wuwei, and the hall, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly became a little crowded.

"Prince, these are the people you caught tonight!"

Yu Zhiqian nodded: "Father Qi, yes, these people are the people that Erchen arrested in Pingkangfang tonight!" ”

"I don't think there's anything unusual about these people!"

Yu Zhiqian smiled, walked into the crowd, and pointed to a few of them: "Leave these four people behind, and take the rest all down!" ”

"Whoa!"

The four people who were left behind looked nervous and trembled all over, looking like they were frightened because they had seen the emperor for the first time and so many ministers, but Yu Zhiqian still found out that this group of people was addicted to drugs through some subtle movements of their group.

"Let go of them!"

Jin Wuwei let go of the four people, and only one of them was able to stand firm, of course, this standing means that he did not fall, that's all.

The remaining three people were supported by Jin Wuwei just now, and everyone thought that these guys were just nervous, but when they came to the end, they curled up together, constantly shivering, and realized that they were not nervous.

"These three people are not infected with some kind of evil disease! Prince, what are your intentions! An imperial historian stood up and pointed at Yu Zhiqian.

Hearing the words of this imperial historian, many ministers unconsciously took a few steps back, fearing that they would be infected with a vicious disease.

"Don't worry, these three people are not infected with a serious disease, but just because of drug addiction!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he took out a small piece of opium from his pocket and shook it slightly in front of the three people.

"Give me, give me!"

"Give me something, please, give me something!"

"It's so itchy, give it to me!"

After the three of them saw the opium, their eyes immediately lit up, and then they turned over and wanted to get up from the ground, but they were weak, so they crawled towards Yu Zhiqian as much as possible with their hands and feet, wanting to get the opium in Yu Zhiqian's hands.

"Guys, do you see? This is what it looks like after sucking Fleur, who else do you say I'm making a fuss! ”

Yu Zhiqian squinted his eyes and swept over the group of people, in order to let this group of people thoroughly understand the danger of A Furong, he turned his head to look at the three people who looked like zombies beside him.

The three of them were held down by Jin Wuwei, but they still struggled to get close to Yu Zhiqian, shouting some unintelligible words in their mouths.

"What are you called, what do you do at home! Whoever answers me, I'll give it to whomever I want! ”

"My name is Zhou Kang, my name is Zhou Kang, in my family, I am the second owner of Jiu'an Firm, I can give you whatever you want, I can give you money, one thousand taels, no, ten thousand taels as long as you give me this thing!"

The person named Zhou Kang stretched out his hand to get the opium in Yu Zhiqian's hand, and he opened his mouth directly for 10,000 taels!

"Suck!"

When a group of people heard this, they immediately gasped.

"I don't want your money, now I want you to do one thing, as long as you do it, I will give it to you!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he bowed to the emperor: "Father, the son is going to be rude, I hope the father will not be punished, the son just wants the father and the emperor and you to see the harm of this A Furong!" ”

After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian turned his head to look at the three people in front of him: "Now which of you learns to bark as a dog, and whoever learns to be like, I will give you this hibiscus!" ”

When the three of them heard this, they did not hesitate and immediately began to scream, without any shame.

"Take it down!"

Yu Zhiqian sighed, these people are already addicted, this thing is only smoked after being lit with an incense burner, not with a cigarette stick, otherwise it will be more harmful.

"Give me, give me, I beg you, I can give you whatever you want, give me the fairy grass!"

……

After a farce ended, Yu Zhiqian looked at all the ministers: "I think you can see it clearly, just now that is what it looked like after smoking the Hibiscus people, do you think I used troops late at night, is it wrong?" ”

A group of ministers fell silent, they had never seen such a terrible object.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the prince is not only without fault, but has merit, if the flow of this kind of control of people's minds and minds is weak into the hands of the people, I will die!"

"The ministers seconded it!"

The emperor also had a gloomy face, as the emperor knew very well the terrible thing about this thing, if his ministers, the military would be controlled by someone with a heart, the consequences would ......

"Prince!"

"Erchen is here!"

"You call this thing poison?"

"Yes!"

"It is indeed a poison, the most vicious thing in the world, there is nothing more than manipulating people's hearts, I order you to investigate this case thoroughly, from now on, in Chang'an City, anyone who sells, sells, or secretly hides this poison will be decided!"

"The son obeys the order, but the father is the emperor!"

"Speak!"

"The implications may be a bit complicated......"

"No matter who dares to touch this thing, there will be no forgiveness!"

"Sons obey orders!"

Yu Zhiqian's head is a little big, Uncle Badwang's shop is selling this thing, the relationship between Uncle Bawang and his father, forget it, let's talk about it in private.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The ministers below saluted together, and it was obvious that these ministers also knew the dangers of these things, and many of them were afraid, if anyone ......

"Your Majesty, the envoys of all countries have been brought!"

"Biography!"

"Say, the envoys are coming!"

"Say, the envoys are coming!"

Soon, in the midst of a chaotic sound of footsteps, Jin Wuwei led about forty people into the court, these people were not from one country, but from more than twenty small countries around the Tang Dynasty, among which there were many envoys from small countries in East Asia!

"The envoy of the small country, Nguyen An, has seen His Majesty's Tianwei......"

"Envoy ...... of Small Countries"

This group of envoys have been trained by the Ministry of Ceremonies and know some basic etiquette, but the strange Chinese makes people feel a little strange to hear, if you don't listen carefully, you can't understand what this group of people is saying.

After the envoy saluted, the following was the offering, and Yu Zhiqian was very curious about what this group of guys could come up with.

"Nanyue presents, twenty beauties, fifty gems, two hundred catties of spices, ten treasures, and thirty catties of fairy grass!"

"Ma Lijin offering, ten rare pieces, a pair of exotic beasts, three hundred catties of spices!"

“……”

Listening to the contributions of these small countries, the more Yu Zhiqian listened, the more wrong he became, what is it? Forget it, it's hard to say what this thing is worth, fifty gems? Yu Zhiqian glanced at it, they were all gems with poor texture, and they were not big, and they were still a rare thing to throw into future generations, and in ancient times, ordinary nobles did not like to use them.

As for spices, these things are lacking for small East Asian countries? It's everywhere, only two hundred catties were sent, and as for the so-called treasures, Yu Zhiqian is hehe, he is simply deceiving an official of the Ministry of Rites who has never seen the world!

As for the fairy grass, Yu Zhiqian's eyes narrowed, this thing is here again, and it is a tribute to the emperor, I don't know if it is intentional or unintentional!

Yu Zhiqian fell into contemplation, and the emperor was very happy, from ancient times to the present, Chinese emperors have a problem, that is, great joy, basically like this.

"Good, good, good, come on, reward!"

"Whoa!"

An official of the Ministry of Rites walked out, and after Yu Zhiqian heard it, he stood up with a frown and looked at his father: "Father, I don't know what my father has rewarded these small countries?" ”

"Huh?"

The emperor glanced at Yu Zhiqian: "Prince, why not?" ”

"Father, the son is just curious!"

"The prince Hugh wants to talk nonsense!" The emperor glanced at Yu Zhiqian with some displeasure, this group of foreign envoys was still there.

"Father, the son is really curious!" Yu Zhiqian asked again without reluctance.

"Where is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites?"

"The minister is here!" A middle-aged and weak minister stepped forward.

"You talk to the prince!"

"Weichen obeys the order, His Royal Highness the Prince, most of the small countries in my Datang bounty are silk tea, and they will generally reward the small country with a thousand silk horses, a hundred taels of gold and silver, and a hundred taels of tea......"

After Yu Zhiqian heard these things, the more he listened, the more distressed he became, and now he couldn't wait to drag out this group of guys from the Ministry of Rites and cut them down, they are really losers, complete losers, these guys!

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, Yu Zhiqian's face was gloomy, and the faces of the other envoys of small countries had already shown joy, they only needed to send some of these things back to China, and the rest could be shoddy and make a lot of money.

"Prince, do you still have doubts?"

Yu Zhiqian nodded with a gloomy face, staring at the waiter of the Ministry of Rites: "I don't know how much the waiter knows the value of these rewards?" ”

"You don't need to answer the waiter, a thousand horses of silk, tea, porcelain and other things are worth 100,000 taels of silver? Right, do you know how much these small countries are worth? ”

"The prince is messing around!" After hearing this, the emperor reprimanded Yu Zhiqian.

"Father, the son is not messing around, the son just wants to ask the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, why did the small country give some broken copper and iron to our country, and my country will give 100,000 taels of gifts?"

The entire court immediately became in an uproar, and the ministers all stared at the prince in surprise, and many ministers had already begun to mumble quietly.

"Minister Wang Zhong, impeach the prince and roar the court, and lose his honor in front of the palace!"

"Minister......

"Minister......

A group of imperial historians immediately jumped out and impeached Yu Zhiqian, but Yu Zhiqian snorted coldly and ignored this group of people, but stared at the waiter of the Ministry of Rites in front of him.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites trembled a little when he was stared at by Yu Zhiqian, and took a deep breath: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the ancestral system, my Tang Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Dynasty, the Quartet submits, and the lower kingdom does not care about the value of the gift but the heart!" And I have a heavy reward, so that I am the kingdom of heaven, and the earth is ......vast and rich."

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he snorted coldly: "It's nonsense, since this squire is so generous, then after the next court, this palace will take two taels of pork meat to your mansion to have a look, I hope this squire will not be stingy!" ”

"Prince, go back!"

The emperor was a little annoyed by Yu Zhiqian, and this rebel was disgraced and thrown in front of foreign envoys.

"Father, my son has something to say!"

"No, go back!"

"Erchen must say, Erchen wants to say, this group of envoys should be beheaded!"

Sure enough, after Yu Zhiqian finished saying this, the court immediately boiled together, and Yushi stood up again, ready to impeach Yu Zhiqian.

"Father, the offerings of this group of envoys are just to deceive me that the Tang Dynasty is not familiar with other countries, taking Nanyue as an example, the so-called treasures are just a local specialty, locally called coconut, this coconut!"

After Yu Zhiqian picked it up, he weighed it twice: "You only need to peel it and drink the juice from it, and this so-called treasure can be seen almost everywhere in South Vietnam, and the coconut tree is even more common than our locust tree!" ”

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

A group of ministers were stunned for a moment after hearing this, and after Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he took the coconut to the side of the envoy and shook it vigorously: "This envoy, am I right?" ”

The envoy's face was a little ugly, and he wanted to deny it very much, but there was no way to fulfill this lie, did he want to go back to China and cut down all the coconut trees?

"As for the spices!"

Yu Zhiqian grabbed it casually: "In my Datang, it is indeed very valuable, and even sells for one or two for a gold price, but in East Asia, this thing is all over the mountains, and Erchen also knows that there are many spice islands in East Asia, a hundred catties?" It is 1,000 catties, 10,000 catties, and 10,000 catties can be picked, but these small countries only supply 100 catties! ”

"And these gems, which were picked by your king, are these sapphires very common in your country......"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he walked up to another envoy: "This is jackfruit, this thing is called a treasure?" It's just a fruit! ”

"Is this a treasure? Pick up random stones on the side of the road! ”

“……”

"Father, what do you think it means for us to reward these small countries so much!"

The emperor did not speak with a gloomy face, he was still excited just now, and now the emperor was eager to drag this group of envoys out and cut them down, it turned out that the things sent by this group of guys were all things that their country did not want, and he was happy to be a baby

"His Royal Highness the Prince, although these envoys are not expensive gifts, what is valuable is the heart, thousands of miles to send goose feathers, and the courtesy is light and affectionate, doesn't this also mean that my Tang Dynasty is majestic all over the world, and all countries are coming to court!"

"Really? I think it's because these countries know that sending a bunch of broken copper and iron can be exchanged for precious silk, tea, and porcelain! My Tang Dynasty is powerful all over the world, and all countries come to court, do you rely on us to give gifts? It was bought by tens of thousands of soldiers of my Datang Dynasty with their lives, and it was our generals who killed the enemy's head! ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is a bad statement, the sage once said......"

"Didn't the Saint Sect teach you to educate the people, there was a great drought in Dengzhou, how much food can these rewards buy for disaster relief? Convince people with virtue, and the Turks can be subdued these years? What did my Datang rely on to beat the Turks and dare not make mistakes? These small countries rely on my Datang to survive, and it should be their duty to contribute, why should I be rewarded, even if they want to be rewarded, it should be these small countries that have made contributions to my Datang! ”

"Among these envoys, how many can be called the country, you, you, how many people are in your country!"

"Ten thousand people? 20,000 people? 30,000? ”

The envoy of the small country who was asked by Yu Zhiqian was forced to take a few steps back, and it seemed that there were indeed few people in their country.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to your thoughts, is it possible that a few indigenous people will be rewarded, occupy a mountain, set themselves up as kings, and then bring some broken copper and iron to Chang'an to offer it? Then I don't have to pay taxes after the Tang Dynasty to help the victims, build water conservancy, cast armor, and directly reward them! ”

"My Tang Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, these small vassal countries, they should be sacrificed, guarding one side for my Tang Town, calling the ministers year after year, paying tribute every year, if not, a partial division can destroy it, why should it be subdued by virtue!"

"Father, my sons feel that my Datang is because of the strength of all countries to prosper my Datang, instead of using the material resources of my Datang to hand over the joy of all countries!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, the entire hall was silent!
