Chapter Eighty-Seven: Self-inflicted

The emperor spoke instead of Qin Liang: "Zichu, you tell Zihuan and Ziyan how you found this jade wrench." ”

When Qin Ziyan heard this, he was immediately a little complacent. He believed that the emperor's interjection represented disagreement with Qin Liang's statement.

Actually, quite the opposite. It was precisely because the emperor had already figured out Qin Liang's words and completely agreed with Qin Liang's words that he came over to explain it in person.

The emperor knew that if it weren't for him to say the following words, Qin Liang's hard work would be in vain.

The second prince, Qin Zichu, was thinner than the two brothers, and after this search, his forehead was already visibly sweaty.

Rubbing the beads of sweat that were obviously about to drip down with his sleeve, Qin Zichu replied, "Erchen found this ring in the Imperial Garden. ”

"Impossible!" Qin Ziyan interrupted categorically, "After the first search, I led these eight people to carefully search the Imperial Garden, and they almost turned over the soil. ”

The frank prince asked, "Did you find it under the soil?" I didn't think of turning it over when I went to the Imperial Garden. ”

This is still not confident in Qin Liang's previous statement that if it wasn't for Qin Zichu, it would be possible for him to win.

The emperor was a little displeased, Qin Liang shook his head at his imperial brother, and asked patiently, "Then if Zihuan you go to the Imperial Garden, how will you find it?"

The eldest prince thought for a while, pointed to the six eunuchs behind him and said, "They all know how to do kung fu, I will ask them to climb trees." I climb myself. ”

Qin Zichu looked at Qin Liang dumbfounded, and said, "I found it on the tree. ”

"I looked up at the tree, and there wasn't even a bird's nest on it. Qin Ziyan still felt incredulous.

Qin Liang was not annoyed at all, but the emperor was a little annoyed with Qin Ziyan. He said something in the hope that Qin Ziyan would listen to it and figure it out for himself as soon as possible, so as to avoid saying it too thoroughly and losing face.

Although Qin Ziyan has been suppressing the dissatisfaction in his expression now, these blurted out repeated denials are enough to prove his arrogance. The emperor simply gave up interjecting and was ready to let Qin Liang strike a good blow against Qin Ziyan.

Qin Liang said step by step: "Zihuan, why did you go to the tree to look for it?"

"I just said it, and the six of them said that they also know a little bit about martial arts, and I can too, so we can all climb trees. The eldest prince replied.

Qin Liang asked again: "Zichu, why did you go to the tree to look for it?"

Qin Zichu glanced at Qin Ziyan beside him, and replied in a low voice: "I just happened to go to the tree to look for it by accident." ”

The second brother said it directly. Qin Ziyan didn't want to appreciate it. It was Qin Zichu who won the most useless in this round, and he was not worried at all. Isn't there a third round, two wins in three games, Qin Zihuan didn't win two games, and it is impossible to win the third game. As for Qin Zichu, this waste, he was able to win the second game by luck, could he still be smashed by God's pie again?

Qin Ziyan noticed that his tone was a little stiff, and added another sentence, and said softly: "Please also ask the second brother to truthfully solve the doubts of the younger brother." Only if you know what you don't know can you change. ”

Seeing that his younger brother said this, Qin Zichu couldn't hide it anymore, so he said as he was: "I went to the imperial pharmacy first. Then I heard that I had recently seen herbs growing in the Imperial Garden, so I followed them to see them. On the way to observe the herbs, I smelled a osmanthus tree that was not very fragrant. I suspect that something may be wrong with the tree, or that the trunk is empty. After letting them climb up, they found this. ”

Qin Zichu hesitated for a moment, but finally admitted frankly, "I did take advantage of my luck to find it." Because when I went to the Imperial Pharmacy, I didn't go looking for a jade wrench, but I wanted to see how the freshly picked herbs were dried. ”

"Second brother, you're so lucky. This time, the eldest prince was sincerely emotional. It's not that he particularly prefers this second brother, but the eldest prince feels that although luck seems to have nothing to do with the winner, it is actually one of the other party's strengths. Because man cannot fight over the heavens.

Qin Ziyan disagreed. He already knew that Qin Zichu could not win this game with his strength, eighteen eunuchs, he Qin Ziyan got eight, and he took the lead, Qin Zihuan got six, Qin Zichu got the least, except for the three who had to follow him, only one more.

Qin Ziyan believes that Qin Zichu's victory due to luck is enough to prove to his father who is the first person in strength.

He couldn't help but look at the emperor on the throne.

The emperor was also looking at his three sons.

The eyes of the two fathers and sons were intertwined.

Qin Ziyan arched his hand and said: "It's the sons who don't notice." Father, please also ask the emperor to continue to ask the question. ”

"Your imperial uncle's topic has been completed. "The emperor still knows this younger brother who is more than 20 years younger than himself.

He glanced at the three princes in front of him with some disappointment and asked, "Haven't any of you figured it out?"

Such a simple truth, no one thought about it, and the emperor was very disappointed.

Qin Liang asked, "Zichu, do you think what I said earlier?"

Qin Zihuan and Qin Ziyan looked at Qin Zichu together.

The two felt that Qin Zichu would never deny it, after all, they were very clear about this brother's character. How dare a cowardly person deny it?

"What Uncle Huang said is indeed true. Qin Zichu really agreed.

Qin Zihuan only felt that it was expected.

Qin Ziyan had a little more disdain. When he returned from his dream, he despised this second emperor brother the most. Because in that dream, the second emperor brother let go of the good prince inappropriately, and actually went out of the palace to travel. Until he died in his dream, he did not see the second emperor brother return.

Qin Ziyan thought that Qin Zichu must have nothing else to say. In this way, the third game is not just a conversation between Fang Cai? It can't be Qin Zichu who wins, it seems that it is either himself or Qin Zihuan.

Even if the eldest brother Qin Zihuan wins, the three of them are a draw. Qin Ziyan's heart was at peace.

"Big brother goes to the Internal Affairs Mansion, but he also has no confidence in himself, right?" Qin Zichu, who was quiet and quiet, actually asked Qin Zihuan.

Although Qin Zihuan was a little surprised, he nodded and replied: "Yes, my brain is not as good as the third brother, so I simply asked the Internal Affairs Office in the most stupid way." ”

"Therefore, my eldest brother and I are both confidants and shortcomings, and we use our strengths. The eldest brother is good at martial arts, so he will send people to climb trees. I noticed the osmanthus tree because I was sensitive to smells. As for the third brother, the mistake is that you only know your strengths and don't recognize your shortcomings. "Qin Zichu has already figured out that the third game is who can really understand the way and intention of the second game.

"Third brother, after you get nothing for the first time, you should break away from the director and jump out and watch it again. You have always been thoughtful, so your shortcomings are just like what Uncle Huang said, but they are too meticulous, and you have never thought of truly trusting them. Qin Zichu looked at the eunuch behind Qin Ziyan and asked, "What is your director?"

Several eunuchs glanced at each other and reported their director.

"Good at memorizing. ”

"Throw the sieve. ”

"Good at connoisseurship. ”

"Good at ......"

......

After the eight finished speaking, Qin Ziyan's face became ugly. He's not stupid, he's just overconfident and doesn't notice it. Now after listening to what the eight people said, he also completely understood.

"It's my nephew who is proud. Qin Ziyan and Qin Liang confessed their mistakes. At this time, he also understood what today's third exam was. Qin Liang asked them to learn from the pain and avoid their weaknesses in the future. But he didn't see it clearly because of the arrogance he had in the second game.

The nephew threw in the towel. If the nephew hadn't been overconfident and hadn't asked them questions at all, he wouldn't have been like this. It is enough for a good journalist and a good sieve thrower to find out which are the most likely hiding places today. For when you hide something, no one else will be allowed to enter. Those who are good at throwing sieves have a wide range of contacts, and those who are good at memory can be screened one by one. With the help of Jianbao and others, it can be speculated that there is an abnormality in the trees in the Imperial Garden. Because the sun exposure hurts the jade, the emperor's uncle is a person who loves jade, so he must put it in a proper place. ”

Qin Ziyan didn't have to be so meticulous to let himself lose face like this, but it was precisely he who forced himself to this point.

His complacency had become the answer to today's two consecutive losses, and if he didn't be honest about it, it would be difficult to turn the impression in front of his father.

This bitter fruit, Qin Ziyan can only swallow it by himself.

He also wanted to arch his hand to Qin Liang and say, "Thank you Uncle Huang for your teachings today." ”

Qin Liang waved his hand and replied, "There is no need to be so polite between uncles and nephews. ”

The emperor instructed: "Zihuan and Ziyan go back and think about what they did today." Zichu stayed. ”

At this point, all the victories and defeats today are clear.

Qin Liang felt that the qi in his chest had finally smoothed out.

I just don't know what the situation is like over there in the Tobe Shangshu Mansion.
