Chapter 100: The Princes' Gifts (4)

No matter which side of the person is, they are extremely unhappy with Li Bielu in their hearts - when are you looking for trouble, but at this time, at this time, you are looking for trouble with King Yue at His Majesty's banquet, what do you mean? Do you want to show your majesty's face?

You don't look like anything to him, but why do you embarrass him in front of so many outsiders?

In front of outsiders, Li Shimin will be uncomfortable, but why don't we lose face?

Plain let outsiders see the joke?

How confused are you?

Li Beilu didn't think about what others thought, he was still immersed in making Li Shimin lose face at this time, and turned back to meet the adoring eyes of his colleagues, he didn't think that his actions would have any negative impact on the country.

"The question of decay is simple." Li Beilu pointed to the jade ornament in the box and asked: "This jadeite is indeed the best in the world, it is a first-class jade, and the carving is also the top master, both of which are impeccable." The problem is that a good horse is matched with a good saddle, and such a beautiful jade ornament is not too disgraced even if it is paired with gold and silver threads, but why do you only have an ordinary rope? How sloppy is this move? ”

Faced with Li Bielu's accusation, Cen Wenwen was about to refute it, but one person rushed ahead of him and angrily scolded Li Bielu: "Hahaha...... Li Beilu, Li Beilu, I thought you could say anything? It turns out that it was nothing more than that. ”

"Lu Zheng, what do you mean?" Li Beilu turned his head to look at it, and he was even more furious, because the person who spoke was called Lu Zheng, who used to be the younger brother of the head of the Fanyang Lu family in the family alliance. Of course, now that the Lu family has taken refuge in the imperial court and become the sworn enemies of the family, and now he dares to mock himself, of course he will not give Lu a good face.

"It's not interesting, that's what you think." Lu Zheng, as a disciple of Lu Ping, the head of the Lu family, naturally has no good impression of a person in the anti-Tang alliance like Li Bielu, not to mention that Li Bielu's name also clashes with the Lu family, and his impression of Li Bielu is even worse.

Thinking of this, Li Bielu's tone was even more disdainful: "You don't want to think about it, although this jadeite is extremely bright, but the carving is simple and unpretentious, with gorgeous gold and silver threads, it is too nondescript, right?" What kind of taste are you? ”

Li Beilu defended: "The gold and silver threads are just an example I listed, I don't mean that, I mean to say, such a precious jade ornament, connected by ordinary ropes, is too unworthy of this superb jadeite, right?" ”

"It turns out that Master Li is talking about this, this is not an ordinary rope." Cen Wenwen suddenly came to his senses, bowed down and asked Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, can you allow the minister to explain to your colleagues?" ”

"Exactly." Li Shimin has nothing to do, and he is also very curious about what is so extraordinary about this rope.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." With Li Shimin's permission, Cen Wenwen casually picked up a jade belt from the box, pointed to the rope on it, and circled around and said, "Are you also like Li Shaoqing, this rope is just an ordinary rope?" ”

Without waiting for everyone to respond, he continued: "If you all think the same way, then you are very wrong. In fact, in Cen's eyes, the so-called glass imperial green jadeite is not as valuable as the eleventh of these ropes. In Cen's eyes, these ropes are not the foil of jade ornaments, but on the contrary, these ropes are the protagonists, they are the real treasures, and these jade and jade ornaments only exist to decorate these ropes."

"What?"

Everyone was in an uproar, what kind of charm does this rope have? actually made Cen Wenwen say such a bold statement. But everyone also knows Cen Wenwen's character, he is not the kind of person who likes to exaggerate, since he said so, it shows that these ropes are really valuable.

Wei Zheng frowned and asked, "What kind of rope is this, which actually makes Jingren (Cen Wenzi) boast of such a sea mouth?" Could it be that it is woven from the legendary dragon whiskers and phoenix feathers? ”

Cen Wenwen smiled and nodded at Wei Zheng: "Gong Wei is really smart, although he is not hit, he is not far away." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Hahaha......" Cen Wenwen held the jade belt high and said loudly in a slightly crazy tone: "Because this rope is indeed of extraordinary origin, the material of this rope is actually woven from the beard and hair of those kings of the Nanyang countries."

There were twenty-seven kings in the South Seas, and each of them contributed a handful of hair or beard - a rope woven from the beard of the twenty-seven kings, compared with the best jadeite, what do you think? ”

"Huh?"

"What?"

"Oh my God."

"That's a lot of money."

“……”

The whole banquet scene was in a commotion again, everyone exclaimed, and looked at the jade belt in Cen Wenwen's hand in a daze, if what he said was true, then these ropes are indeed extraordinary, although the value is not as good as jade, but when it comes to political significance, I am afraid that it is a hundred sets of jade ornaments, and I am afraid it will be difficult to reach one ten-thousandth of these ropes - it is really worthy of the king of Yue, it is really a big deal.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were different when they looked at the jade belt - this is the most powerful proof of the conquest of the Tang Dynasty, and the improvement of the morale of the people of the Tang Dynasty will play an unimaginable role, and the value is immeasurable.

The more Cen Wenwen spoke, the more excited he became: "Although these countries are not as big as our Tang Dynasty, the king is the king, and after all, they are protected by the dragon's energy, and now they have collected the rope woven by the luck of twenty-seven kings, do you think that value is stronger?" ”

"Hahaha......" Li Shimin also smiled, and hurriedly walked to Cen Wenwen, took the jade belt with trembling hands, and carefully identified it, as if he wanted to see every hair clearly.

After a long time, Li Shimin raised his head and said in a stirring tone: "Okay, good Zhen'er, I really gave a big gift to my father, I am very satisfied, I am very satisfied, this is the best gift I have received in my life." ”

"Your Majesty needs not be so happy." Cen Wenwen laughed and said, "If you are happy, just wait for this set of accessories to be completely completed, and then be happy." ”

"Oh? What do you mean? Li Shimin hurriedly put down the jade belt and asked strangely: "Could it be that this set of jade ornaments is just a set of semi-finished products?" ”

"Of course not." Cen Wenwen shook his head and said, "It's just that there is one thing in it, and it's not the most perfect." ”

As he spoke, Cen Wenwen took out a jade-inlaid gold wire crown from the box and said, "This crown is woven with the highest gold wire, although Hua Wushuang, His Royal Highness King Yue is not satisfied." For he had intended that the crown would be woven with the hair of those kings wrapped in gold thread. It's a pity that there are only twenty-seven emperors in Nanyang, and their beards have been used up, and His Royal Highness has no choice but to use gold wire alone, which is really a great pity. ”
