Chapter 6: The Bet is the Tiger Talisman

He couldn't help but jump out, as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, if he didn't stop this farce, he would definitely be sprayed to death by Yanguan.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Xuan didn't take the usual path at all, he looked at Zhang Taiheng, and suddenly said, "I don't know Master Zhang, what do you want to bet with me?" ”

Zhao Xuan's words made Zhang Taiheng and Li Mingpu ecstatic.

However, they have a relationship with Zhao Xuan as a monarch and a minister, and openly betting in the court is indeed not in line with etiquette.

So, some scenes still have to be said.

Li Mingpu began to make amends, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang and the old ministers want to have a covenant with Your Majesty, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

The essence of the covenant between the monarch and the minister is still a bet, which is nothing more than a nice way to put it.

As soon as Li Mingpu's words came out, the officials who had scolded them before also turned off their flames, and even the secretary of the Ministry of Rites didn't say anything.

According to Li Mingpu and Zhang Taiheng's understanding of Zhao Xuan, with the previous stimulation, Zhao Xuan will definitely agree to their gamble.

Sure enough, their agitation method worked, and as soon as the statement of the covenant between the monarch and the minister came out, Zhao Xuan was fooled.

I only heard Zhao Xuan say, "I don't know what the two Aiqing want me to agree on?" ”

In an instant, Li Mingpu and Zhang Taiheng looked at each other, and their hearts were ecstatic.

The latter said, "The agreed thing is about the ownership of the tiger talisman. ”

Tiger Talisman?

It turned out that these two old dogs actually had the idea of fighting the tiger talisman.

Both of them are civil officials, but they have ideas about Tiger Fu, this is to rebel.

Idiots will take the ownership of the tiger talisman as a bet.

Win or lose, you lose.

His current character is a faint king, Zhao Xuan continued to pretend to be stupid, and said with a hesitant face, "The tiger talisman has always been kept by the general, and the general Qin is the pillar of the country. ”

Zhang Taiheng saw that Zhao Xuan's attitude was a little shaken, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, the tiger talisman is the foundation of my Great Liang Dynasty, and it involves the transfer of soldiers and horses in the world. Now General Liu, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and the military power of the court is all under his command, once the general has a different heart, it will definitely shake the foundation of our Great Liang Dynasty, and think twice about Your Majesty. ”

The general Liu in his mouth is Liu Cheng, the father of Empress Liu Yunqing, and he is also the first person in the army of the Great Liang Dynasty.

In order to gain his support, the original body married the queen Liu Yunqing, and because he was afraid of the power of the Liu family, he never had sex with Liu Yunqing, but he was worried that once he gave birth to an heir and was named the prince, when the time came, the Zhao family's country would accidentally become the Liu family.

Therefore, since ascending the throne, Zhao Xuan has been guarding against Liucheng.

Zhang Taiheng and Li Mingpu are clear about this, they are both civilian officials, and it is their natural duty to suppress military attachΓ©s.

In addition, Zhang Taiheng has long been opposed, naturally he doesn't want Zhao Xuan to be in harmony with the monarchs and ministers of Liucheng, and takes advantage of Zhao Xuan's suspicion.

Sure enough, Zhao Xuan, a mediocre and incompetent guy, has been fooled repeatedly.

As long as this point is pointed out in the imperial court, Zhao Xuan will inevitably be furious.

Therefore, Li Mingpu decided to add another fire, "Your Majesty, General Liu is a relative, and his relatives are dictatorial, so they have to be guarded again, please think twice." ”

These two goods openly slandered Liucheng above the court, and other courtiers will inevitably speak up, such as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Huang Maocai stood up again.

"Your Majesty, General Liu is the god of my army, and Your Majesty cannot revoke the general's tiger talisman, otherwise, there may be changes in the army."

"Your Majesty, the general is fighting on the border, and it is extremely inappropriate to talk about the ownership of the tiger talisman at this moment."

In addition to Huang Maocai, the secretary of the military department also began to advise.

Zhang Taiheng and Li Mingpu's ridiculous proposal is not agreed by everyone.

Everyone knew that this was a bad idea, but because they learned about Zhao Xuan's mediocrity, they all stood up to admonish.

Zhao Xuan continued to maintain his mediocre personality, "What you Aiqing said makes sense, Li Aiqing and Zhang Aiqing are also out of public intentions, but since the two Aiqing let me take out the tiger talisman as a bet, I don't know if the two Aiqing plan to take it out as a bet?" ”

The other courtiers were shocked by the ambitions of Li Mingpu and Zhang Taiheng.

These two actually wanted to fight the idea of the tiger talisman.

But Your Majesty, I really made a bet with them, and I have the meaning of taking back the general's tiger talisman, which is going to change the sky.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to guarantee with all his worth, once His Majesty's fruit epidemic prevention method is not established, immediately take back the general's tiger charm and hand it over to the hussar general for safekeeping, once Your Majesty's fruit epidemic prevention method is effective, the old minister is willing to use his family property for disaster relief." Li Mingpu finally made his bet.

Everyone knows that the treasury is empty, and he is the prime minister of the dynasty who scattered all his family property for disaster relief, and his courage is not small.

You must know that the prime minister's mansion has a lot of income, and the family property is scattered, this old guy is going to let go.

Zhao Xuan sneered in his heart, remained silent on the surface, and continued to look at Zhang Taiheng, "What about Zhang Aiqing?" ”

Zhang Taiheng immediately said, "Chen, I am also willing to take out all my family property for disaster relief, and the stakes are the same as Prime Minister Li." ”

Well, in order to get the Tiger Talisman, this guy also gave up.

The crowd was shocked.

For a while, he did not stand up against it.

At a time when the treasury is in deficit, the head of the household department and the prime minister of the current dynasty used to take the family property out for disaster relief, why do you object?

Not only did no one oppose it, but many courtiers stood up in support.

They all said good things and praised them for setting an example for hundreds of officials in the world.

Li Mingpu also said unashamedly, "Old minister, it's just that the king's luck is worried about the king." ”

Zhang Taiheng also said, "The minister is just doing his duty as a courtier." ”

Looking at their brazen words, it seems that the bet just now is gone.

Zhao Xuan sat on the throne of Jinluan, looking at the performance of a group of ministers in the main hall, and only felt funny in his heart.

In just a few minutes, as Zhang Taiheng's henchmen, a lot of people jumped out, and there were naturally courtiers who spoke up.

Of course, more of them are still wall-riding, and they are all on the sidelines.

Which are the henchmen of Zhang and Li, and which are the loyal ministers who can be of great use.

Zhao Xuan silently wrote down the names of these guys in his heart, and found some appropriate opportunities to promote them in the future, otherwise, the court was full of Zhang and Li's echoes, and his own emperor was a decoration.

After making up his mind, Zhao Xuan suddenly laughed, "Since the two Aiqing are bent on sharing their worries, I will make this covenant between the monarch and the minister, and once I lose, I will inevitably take back the general's tiger talisman." ”

"Your Majesty, by all means!"

"Please, Your Majesty, think twice."

This time, there were quite a few kneeling people.

At this time, most of the people who knelt down were courtiers who were dedicated to the country.

Otherwise, in the face of the mediocre Zhao Xuan, they naturally don't have to kneel.

Since he planned to trap Zhang and Li to death, Zhao Xuan would definitely not change his mind because of their kneeling.

He made a final decision, "I have made up my mind, and I will not change it." ”

After a while, he knelt down a lot.
