"Is it me who is reasoning or is you messing around? No one present has seen the true face of Jiuding, who dares to guarantee that this tripod is real or fake? It's not as good as this! Since Lord You firmly believes that this tripod is true, let's set up a word in front of His Majesty as a basis, if this tripod is fake, you are guilty of defrauding the king, if this tripod is true, I Liu Yuanzhi apologize to you in public, how! ”

You Jian naturally didn't dare to make this bet with Liu Yuanzhi, he actually had no confidence in the truth of this tripod in his heart, so he could only retreat to the side and no longer entangle with Liu Yuanzhi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You Jian, Lao Jiu asked you to dedicate this tripod to me at that time, but he didn't tell you if it was true or not?" Shi Hu asked with a frown.

You Jian hurriedly stood up and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, at that time, His Royal Highness King Qing only said that this tripod was discovered by chance near Li Cheng last year, His Royal Highness didn't know whether it was true or not, but he just found someone to check it, and all the people who inspected it felt that this tripod was extraordinary." Later, His Royal Highness thought that it would be a good omen for our Zhao Kingdom to get such a thing, so he let people transport it back to the capital, so that Weichen could dedicate it to His Majesty. ”

"After doing it for a long time, Lao Jiu himself doesn't know if this tripod is true or false?" Shi Hu was a little unhappy.

Zhang Bao suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen remembers that Sima Qian, the Taishi Ling of the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, once recorded in the "Historical Records" that in the forty-second year of King Zhou Xian, Jiuding sank under Pengcheng Surabaya, and this Pengcheng and Li Cheng are thousands of miles apart? His Royal Highness King Qing found this tripod around Li Cheng, and then said that this tripod was one of the nine tripods cast by Dayu that year, is it a bit far-fetched? ”

When You Jian heard Zhang Bao's words, he was immediately a little unhappy, and said: "Lord Zhang, although I You Jian don't read as much as you, but I also know that the record of this paragraph in the "Historical Records" is just Sima Qian's own speculation, why don't you tell everyone that after Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, he sent thousands of people to salvage Jiuding in Surabaya, if all these Jiuding really fell under Surabaya, there would not be no trace at all, right?" ”

"Even if this is Sima Qian's speculation, dare to ask Lord You, the river is surging, and he wants to salvage Jiuding with only thousands of manpower, what is the difference between this and looking for a needle in a haystack? Just because you can't get it doesn't mean you don't. Zhang Bao's words were sharp and unyielding.

You Jian is just a rough person in the end, how can he say that Zhang Bao and Liu Zhiyuan, two sharp-toothed people, can only stand aside resentfully.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Liu Guifei, who had been sitting beside Shi Hu, suddenly couldn't help but speak.

"I love the concubine, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Shi Hu said.

"The concubines feel that Your Majesty and the adults are thinking in the wrong direction, and the meaning of this Royal Highness King Qing's dedication to the tripod may not be to show that this tripod was cast by Dayu back then."

"Oh? Aifei, tell me what you think? Shi Hu was instantly interested in Liu Guifei's words.

Liu Guifei stood up, walked to the side of the big tripod, looked at it again and again, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is clumsy, I can't tell if this tripod is one of the legendary nine tripods, but the bronze tripod, if the years are long, there will be green patina, even if this tripod is not one of the nine tripods of the year, I think it has been some years, it will definitely not be a cheap thing." ”

Concubine Liu said, returned to Shi Hu's side, sat down, took Shi Hu's arm, and said: "The concubine thinks that His Royal Highness King Qing has another deep meaning in offering this tripod to His Majesty, does Your Majesty want to hear it?" ”

"What does it mean?" Shi Hu asked anxiously.

The civil and military officials below all looked at Liu Guifei, wanting to see how this Liu Guifei would complete this embarrassing scene.

Liu Guifei pointed to the Ding and asked Shi Hu, "Your Majesty, what is this called?" ”

"Isn't this Ding?" Shi Hu was a little confused by Liu Guifei's words.

"And where is Your Majesty now?" Liu Guifei then asked.

"Isn't this the main hall?" Shi Hu asked suspiciously, "What does Concubine Ai want to say?" Hurry up, you're dying. ”

Liu Guifei said in a snort: "Your Majesty, don't worry! Why don't the concubines remind you again, you can guess again. ”

Shi Hu saw that Concubine Liu was coquettish, and surrendered instantly, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, Concubine Ai, remind me, see if I can guess." ”

"We're not in the main hall now, not in the palace, not in Yecheng, but in the Central Plains!" Liu Guifei dragged Shi Hu's arm and asked again, "Your Majesty, did you guess now?" ”

Shi Hu scratched his head, thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "What Concubine Ai said is too complicated, I can't guess it, you better just say it." ”

Liu Guifei said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Qing ordered Lord You to dedicate this tripod on His Majesty's birthday, which means that His Majesty wants to set the Central Plains!" ”

"Guifei Niangniang, as early as the reign of Emperor Taizu, our Zhao State has already entered the Central Plains, His Royal Highness King Qing is still talking about this Dingding Central Plains, is it a little out of place?" Zhang Bao asked respectfully.

Liu Guifei naturally knew that Zhang Bao was a person from Yanwang Shishi, and his question was nothing more than to dismantle King Qing's platform, and now Liu Guifei was already on the same front with King Qing, how could he be presumptuous?

"Master Zhang, do you know what the meaning is? You know the meaning? Liu Guifei asked rhetorically.

"Meaning ......"

"Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Central Plains is where the king's spirit lies, and now, the meaning of the Central Plains is no longer just the Central Plains, but the world, which is orthodox! It's like this Jiuding and the jade seal, it's a symbol, do you understand? Liu Guifei directly interrupted Zhang Bao's words, and then said: "Dingding Central Plains, meaning that Your Majesty dominates the world, this is the meaning of Dingding Central Plains today." ”

Liu Guifei's words immediately stunned everyone present, You Jian reacted immediately, clapped his hands again and again and said: "Guifei Niangniang is very knowledgeable, what she said is really reasonable!" I think Your Highness must mean the same thing! ”

Zhang Bao and Shi Shi looked at each other, both of them knew that they couldn't continue to find fault, Zhang Bao originally wanted to make all kinds of difficulties and make King Qing ugly, but he didn't expect that in the end, Liu Guifei came up with such a so-called meaning, so that everyone couldn't refute it.

"What Concubine Ai said is really good, today is a good day, Lao Jiu has sent such a good meaning, it is really good! When Lao Jiu comes back, I will reward him well! "Shi Hu Long Yan is very happy.

"Your Majesty, Commander Shi asks to see you." An attendant outside ran in and knelt down to report.

"Huh? Shi Yong, this kid finally appeared? Announce him in, I want to see what surprise he has in store for me today. Shi Hu took a sip of wine and said with great interest.

"Yes......" The waiter got up and ran out of the hall, shouting: "Shi Yong, the commander of the Xuan Forbidden Army, is here~"

Shi Yong, dressed in military uniform, walked into the hall quickly, knelt on one knee and shouted: "Minister Shi Yong knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”

Shi Hu stretched his neck to look behind Shi Yong, saw that Wen Cang was also there, and asked, "Shi Yong, you ran out and said that you were preparing some kind of surprise for me, that is, to bring Wen Cang over?" Wasn't Wen Cang sent by me to run errands outside the palace? ”

Shi Yong lowered his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister, there is indeed a surprise for Your Majesty today, but this surprise is not the credit of the minister, but the deputy commander Wen Cang, so Your Majesty should listen to Deputy Commander Wen explain the situation in detail." ”

"Today you all said you were going to surprise me, and I want to see what kind of surprise you have." Shi Hu pointed at Wen Cang and said, "Wen Cang, just now Shi Yong said that you have made meritorious contributions, I don't understand what it means, you tell me in detail." ”

Wen Cang first saluted, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, not long ago the Xianbei Murong brothers came to my Zhao country, nominally to offer a table, but in fact sent a lot of fine works to sneak into Yecheng, today Weichen is intended to protect the safety of Xianbei people in the post house, but found the whereabouts of these Xianbei fine works, after the secret investigation of Weichen and his brothers, finally found out the hiding place of these fine works in Yecheng, last night Weichen has led people to capture all these fine works, and then imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, early this morning, Weichen sent someone to inform the commander of this in advance, and the commander personally took people to the prison of Dali Temple to escort these fine works into the palace, so it was too late, and this was the beginning and end of the whole thing. ”

"What? Xianbei people's fine work? Shi Hu was surprised by the news.

"That's right, it's the meticulous work of the Xianbei people, Weichen has been interrogated overnight last night, and someone has already confessed, admitting that he was sent by Murong Jun to Yecheng to spy on my Zhao country's intelligence."

"Bring all those fine works up to me to see, it's really daring, running under my nose to make waves, it's really damned!" Shi Hu slapped the table case angrily.

"Yes!" Wen Cang stood up and shouted outside the door, "Bring people in!" ”

As soon as Wen Cang's words fell, more than a dozen forbidden soldiers with strong physiques came in in groups of two with seven or eight fine works. The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu looked over, and all the fine works were beaten and bruised all over their bodies, and they were paralyzed on the ground like mud.

"Why did they all become like this?" Shi Hu asked, pointing to the group of fine workers who were paralyzed on the ground.
