89. Filial piety

This is his beloved thing, and in order to please the emperor, he resolutely took it out.

In addition to this, he took out various treasures from the chest one after another.

Including amber, tortoiseshell, ivory and many other rare things.

It was an eye-opener for everyone on the scene.

The corners of Emperor Jing's lips twitched slightly, and he clearly saw a few treasures in the palace in one of the treasure chests, and a few of them were the beloved things of the Empress Dowager Dou.

In order to help her youngest son Liu Wugaia in the audience, the old lady did not hesitate to spend money.

No, these things look so familiar to me, could they be ......

Liu Qi's facial muscles stiffened slightly, and when he looked at the Empress Dowager Dou, he saw the old lady's gentle and meaningful smile.

Well, when the birthday banquet is over, it's better to return these treasures as soon as possible.

In the midst of a burst of exclamations, King Liang walked to the last bite of the box and stopped.

The princes and ministers at the scene also? Witch × tear the poop?? Raising pride and stumbling to recruit Di Ya??? Vermites? Knock on the monster cape and scratch only to steal? Conspiracy

"This thing is a rare treasure from the Far West, and my brother used silk and silk worth 10,000 gold to replace it."

At this point, King Liang lied, and its true price was not as much as tens of thousands of gold, but there were still thousands of gold.

Hearing Wan Jin, everyone at the scene, including Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, widened their eyes.

This is a goose egg-sized, crystal clear, dazzling glass bead.

Although the Han family at this time could also refine colored glass, it was usually small and not transparent enough.

Therefore, the value of this glass bead with such outstanding quality is so high.

"Glass beads? Isn't it glass? ”

Liu Rong glanced at it twice and pursed his lips disdainfully, this thing is thrown in modern times, and it is not easy to use it to coax a three-year-old child.

But his heart immediately moved, since the glass beads at this time, no, the glass beads are so precious, do he want to intervene?

There are so many things he wants to do, and there are many places where he needs money.

A paper industry alone may not be able to support his ideals.

So, it's always good to plan ahead.

Liu Rong lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and decided to wait until he went back, and let Ah Da and them give it a try.

The surroundings became quiet at some point.

Liu Rong raised his head in surprise.

Amazing discovery.

He's already in the limelight.

For some reason, there was always a feeling that I hadn't woken up yet.

"The Emperor...... Emperor...... Elder brother...... Arrive...... You...... ......"

Liu Yu tried hard to bite the words and shout, which made Liu Rong feel like waking up from a dream.

His third brother has stuttered since he was a child, and he rarely speaks unless necessary, so his personality is very introverted.

If it weren't for the close proximity of the two tables, he probably wouldn't be able to hear what the other party was saying.

Liu Rong patted Liu Yu on the shoulder, and an encouraging smile appeared on his face.

Then he walked into the center of the hall in high spirits.

"Father, the birthday gift prepared by the sons for the emperor this time is a bit special, you might as well let the younger brothers come first."

Liu Rong did not avoid the eyes around him at all, and after looking around, he said loudly.

He knew that several younger brothers had been preparing for this birthday banquet for a long time.

If he had given his birthday gift first, everyone present would probably not have the heart to pay attention to the others.

Wouldn't this be a waste of the hearts of the younger brothers?

As an elder brother who loves his younger brother, Liu Rong naturally can't let such a thing happen.

"I don't know what kind of gift His Royal Highness gave, but it is more precious than the gift given by His Royal Highness King Liang?"

At this time, the envoy of the State of Wu had already recovered from the blow just now.

After seeing Liu Rong's figure, a strange color immediately shot out of his eyes.

Speaking of which, he and the envoy of Chu were sent to Chang'an this time, but they had a lot to do with the person in front of them.

I remember that His Royal Highness King Wu was frightened and his back was in a cold sweat after seeing the bamboo slips containing the Tui En Order.

even said on the spot: "Fortunately, Emperor Taizong passed away, but with this strategy, I dare not fight back!" ”

The meaning of these words is very easy to understand, and the character of Emperor Xiaowen of Taizong must be like a treasure when he receives such a note.

With Liu Heng's prestige, he will definitely be able to successfully implement this policy in the world.

At that time, even if King Wu wanted to rebel, there was no possibility of success.

It's a pity, just as Emperor Tongjing knows Wu King Liu Bi very well.

Liu Wei also has a deep enough understanding of the emperor who killed his beloved son.

He knew that Emperor Jing's character would most likely not adopt such a strategy that would be slow to work.

The envoys of Wu still remember that Liu Bi, the king of Wu, after learning that this policy was offered by the emperor's eldest son, Liu Rong.

On the spot, his face turned pale, and then a large mouthful of blood spit out, and shouted: "The sky is unfair!" ”

Then he passed out and didn't wake up until the next day.

King Wu's publicity to the outside world was caused by missing his beloved son, but everyone in King Wu's mansion knew what was going on.

Therefore, there was a move to send an envoy to Beijing.

Finding out the information of the imperial court is only incidental, and observing and paying attention to this prince Liu Rong is the most important thing.

"This guy is not good!"

Liu Rong sighed in his heart, although he didn't know what was happening in Wu.

But just from the expression of King Liang who was like an aggressive rooster after being provoked, he could feel the evil intentions hidden by the envoy of Wu.

"What does it have to do with the level of the gift for the father's birthday?"

Liu Rong deliberately made a contemptuous expression, wanting to see how the other party reacted.

Seeing this, the envoy of the State of Wu did not feel the slightest annoyance, but nodded and said: "That's right, let's wait and see how heavy His Highness's mind is?" ”

At this point, as long as the people on the scene are not stupid, they can also see the hostility shown by the envoy of Wu State.

Some of the old ministers even showed thoughtful looks.

Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was uncomfortable and wanted to vomit blood, could it be that in the hearts of the envoys of Wu, he didn't even have a stinky kid who was more worthy of attention?

"Yes."

Emperor Jing Liu Qi seemed to have no idea what was happening in the hall, and nodded in approval of Liu Rong's approach.

Subsequently, starting from the second Liu De, the princes presented birthday gifts to Liu Qijin in turn.

Although there are no particularly precious treasures in this, it has also taken a lot of thought, so that the smile on Liu Qi's face has never broken.

The most impressive thing is that Liu Yu, who is only more than a year old, staggered to Liu Qi's side and said the birthday message in a childlike voice.

Needless to say, this must be the king? Steal neon straight province

I don't know how long I've been training, and it's really hard for the little pig.

Liu Rong sneered secretly on the side.

Even the little prince Liu Yu has already given a birthday gift, and everyone's attention at the scene is once again focused on Liu Rong.

The envoy of Wu State glanced at Liu Rong provocatively, as if to say, look where you are hiding this time.

This guy is like a fly, and people are bored to watch.

Liu Rong's heart moved, he stepped forward and walked a few steps, came to the envoy of Wu State, and laughed softly: "Why don't we make a bet?" ”

The face of the envoy of Wu showed a look of surprise, and he said curiously: "What bet?" ”

"What I offer should be the best in the audience."

Liu Rong took out an item wrapped in red cloth from his arms and said very confidently.

"Who can prove it?"

The face of the envoy of Wu State flashed with emotion, he had seen the preciousness of the birthday gift offered by King Liang.

The gifts offered by other princes and princes were also painstaking, and it was not easy to stand out from them.

So, he pointed out the crux of the problem.

All the public in the audience can testify, and justice is in the hearts of the people.

Liu Rong's words surprised everyone at the scene again.

You must know that the human heart is the most complex and changeable, unless it has the absolute advantage of all Gaia.

Otherwise, there will be a debate about the value of precious stones and jade, and different people will interpret them differently.

What's more, the content of his bet is still the most gifted in the audience.

Even if only a small half of the people disagree with his words, he is embarrassed to say that he has won this bet.

As for the possibility that all the people who offered the gift at the scene were willing to admit defeat......

Hey, you haven't woken up yet?

The envoy of Wu didn't believe it, and there were few people on the scene who were not on the right path with Liu Rong.

At least, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, is unlikely to take the initiative to admit defeat.

There are also a group of ministers in the court who are stiff-minded and do not know how to change, and it is impossible for them to speak with a clear conscience.

The decision had already been made in his heart, but the envoy of the Wu State did not show anything on his face, and asked softly: "I don't know what His Highness wants to gamble on?" ”

"It is better to follow the example of the ancients, and those who lose should retreat."

This is just Liu Rong's idea under a whim, not for anything else, but for a clean ear.

After this experience, presumably the other party will not have the face to stand in front of him in the future.

"Okay, in a word, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the princes and ministers present here are notaries."

The envoy of Wu reacted very quickly this time, and immediately agreed, not giving Liu Rong a chance to regret at all.

If Liu Rong, the prince, can take the initiative to retreat from him, it will also be a very face-saving thing.

When it returns to King Wu's ears, he will surely look at him differently.

So, except for a few people who were close to Liu Rong, most of them showed a look of watching a good show.

Some of them who think that they have put some thought into the birthday ceremony are even more unconvinced.

I thought to myself, "If you can't convince me, it's your fault!" ”

"Your Highness, you can solve the mystery, let me wait and see, what kind of gift have you prepared for Your Majesty?"

The envoy of Wu State said with some impatience.

Emperor Jing Liu Qi glanced at his eldest son with a complicated face, and there was a faint hint of blame.

As a prince, it is always a little inappropriate to make a bet with the envoy of the vassal king.

However, at present, the Han family pursues the rule of inaction, that is, as long as the imperial court does not specify what cannot be done, the people are free to do anything.

The same is more or less the case among the royal family.

The royal family of the Han Dynasty can be said to be the least constrained in the discipline of the prince among all dynasties, and will not raise the prince as a pig.

Whether it's learning literature or practicing martial arts, even if it's playing pop art.

As long as they don't do anything too out of line, no one will stop them.

Liu Rong saw that the heat was almost over, so he didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and directly said the answer: "The thing that the boy offered to his father is a scroll of filial piety copied by himself. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience let out an exclamation.

Not shock, but disappointment.

The act of hand-copying the Book of Filial Piety in the homes of ordinary wealthy merchants and princes may be praised.

But in this cool hall, there are those who have bothered more than this move, and I don't know how many.

Not to mention the others, even Emperor Jing Liu Qi showed a look of disappointment in his eyes.

After hearing this, the envoy of Wu finally let go of the last big stone in his heart.

With a sneering look on his face, he said: "This is the most heartfelt gift for the whole audience in the mouth of His Highness?" Fool me and wait for ignorance? ”

He shook his head secretly, if the other party's skill stopped, this son would not be worthy of such attention from His Royal Highness King Wu.

"Whether this thing is worthy of this statement or not, you will see later."

As he spoke, Liu Rong suddenly lifted the red cloth in his hand.

"Father, this is the supreme artifact that has laid the unshakable foundation of my Han Dynasty!"

What the?

Liu Rong's impassioned words echoed in the ears of the princes and ministers.

They stared at the stack of finger-thick objects and the size of two palms.

With an unbelievable look on his face, can this thing make the Han Dynasty unmovable?

A small yellow door moved very quickly and brought this item to Emperor Jing.

When Liu Qi saw the big words on the blue cover, his expression suddenly changed.

The pages are slightly rough, but they feel great to the touch.

He made up his mind and turned the page gently and carefully.

I saw the thin, white and clean paper and the words written on it.

"It's ......"

Liu Qi's face quickly changed from shock to ecstasy, and then he said a few good words loudly one after another.

With his political wisdom, how could he not see the role of this blank piece of paper.

It is an exaggeration to say that the foundation of the Han dynasty will be unswerving, but it can greatly enhance the ruling power of the Han family.

It took a lot of perseverance for the envoy of Wu to resist the urge to scold, he wanted to see what the father and son were doing.

If it turns out to be nothing more than a bluff, hmph, then no wonder he is.

Liu Qi watched it for a long time, and then reluctantly took it to the old mother next to him, and explained two sentences in a whisper.

Empress Dowager Dou took the scroll, and her face was moved.

Secretly thinking to himself, later, I must get a batch of blank paper from Liu Rong.

The study of Huang Laozhi is written on it, and it is popular all over the world.

When the book with the blue skin and white paper copied from the Book of Filial Piety was passed to the hands of the princes.

People know that the world has changed.

The history of the Han family will be very different from now on!

In the past, a bamboo slip weighed two or three taels.

Each stick can only write a dozen words on it at most, and usually dozens of sticks are braided together as a short book.

Therefore, a roll of bamboo slips weighs several catties, but there are only a few hundred words on it at most.

Scholars often read books with backache, but they can only read a few thousand words.

And this kind of blank paper, each regulation is the same as the folk ruler.

It is one foot long and three inches wide.

Someone made a rough estimate and found that if this kind of paper was written all over the text.

One can write at least seven or eight hundred words, and the handwriting is neat and clear.

What's even more surprising is that it weighs less than a baht!
