Emperor Jing saw that the two major events had been determined today, and his eyes signaled that Lu Shen could retreat from the dynasty, Lu Shen understood and stepped forward and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, if there is a performance, the major events can be played, and the non-important things will be folded in Zhongshu Province and retreat!" ”

Suddenly, Lu Shaoqun, the secretary of Honglu Temple, came out of the queue and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has something important to start Your Majesty!" ”

All the ministers felt strange, this Lu Shaoqun may not be able to play a book for a year, Honglu Temple is also a well-known deserted yamen, today I don't know why, there is something important to play, everyone pricked up their ears, want to hear what this person sent a nickname, Lu Shaoqun who kept his mouth shut.

Emperor Jing was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "If there is something going on in Lu Qing's family, just play it." ”

Lu Shaoqun took out a yellow book of national books, raised it above his head and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Wenguang, the lord of Shu, sent an envoy to our court, inherited the national book, said to the emperor, and called me a minister, Xu Nian for Shu Jin 10,000 horses, silver million taels, ask Your Majesty to canonize him as the lord of Shu, and wish to be Your Majesty's vassal country for generations, at this moment the envoy of Shu is outside the palace, please Your Majesty, how to reply, do you need to call him to the palace?" ”

When Emperor Jing heard this, his face changed slightly, and then he sneered and asked, "Does the Lu Qing family think I should see it?" ”

Seeing this, Lu Shaoqun hurriedly bowed his head to the ground in fright, and said in fear: "Your Majesty, the minister is stupid and does not dare to figure out the holy will. ”

Emperor Jing sneered: "You have brought the national letter to the palace, and the envoys have been brought outside the palace, Lu Shaoqun, you are very competent as a Honglu temple secretary!" ”

Lu Shaoqun suddenly trembled: "Your Majesty! Panic! Frightened! ”

Emperor Jing raised his hand: "Don't be afraid, this is Zichen Palace, don't see the joke from the ministers, get up." ”

Lu Shaoqun sweated profusely and got up: "Your Majesty." ”

Cowering back, looking left and right, the courtiers around him saw him as if he were a dead man.

Emperor Jing turned back to Lu Shen and said, "Pass the Shu envoy to the palace and bring me the national letter." ”

Lu Shen nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

His Majesty took the letter of state, and said to the outside of the hall: "Xuan, the envoys of Shu go to the palace." ”

After a while, the Shu envoy was taken to the hall, and when he arrived at the main hall, he knelt three times and bowed nine times: "Cui Shiquan, the left attendant of the Shu State Rite Department, has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom, long live long live!" ”

Emperor Jing sneered: "Get up, Shu envoy." ”

Cui Shi stood up respectfully, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, which couldn't help but make Emperor Jing look up to him: "Shu envoy, your Shu State has always claimed to inherit the orthodoxy of the Great Xia Kingdom, and Jianyuan is called the emperor, why are you willing to go to the emperor and call me a vassal to Daliang?" ”

Cui Shiquan bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty, my Shu country is located in the southwest, and the land is tired and lacking, because of Your Majesty's kindness, it can be preserved, so how dare you call Jianyuan the emperor, and make jokes in vain; Now my lord takes the initiative to show His Majesty, willing to pay tribute, may Your Majesty see my lord's sincerity, give a canonization edict, my lord is willing to be a vassal of Liang for generations, never betray; This time my lord into the tribute, sent 50,000 horses of Shu brocade, 1 million taels of silver, the rest of the treasures are not counted, every year in the future to Shu brocade 10,000 horses, 10,000 quintals of tea, 500,000 taels of silver as an offering, I hope that Your Majesty will smile and accept it, and shelter Shu for a while. ”

Emperor Jing smiled and said: "Cui Qing's family is very eloquent, why don't you stay in Jiandu, how about finding a place in the Ministry of Rites, you don't have to go back to Shu, I will repair a book, and let Liu Wenguang send your relatives to Jiandu, do you think it's good?" ”

Cui Shiquan hurriedly bowed down and bowed his head and said: "The minister is grateful, Your Majesty loves you, but the minister is a Shu minister, if you stay by Your Majesty's side, the minister will not be a pure minister, even if you have a little eloquence, it is difficult to be a big responsibility, so the minister does not dare to be called." ”

Emperor Jing smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said: "That's it, that's it, get up, that Liu Wenguang is a person who is unkind and unkind, but that Cheng Zijing and Fei Wuxian are still talents, and you are also half of it, this is Liu Wenguang's creation, I will tell you a story today, okay?" ”

Cui Shiquan bowed down and said, "Little minister, listen to me!" ”

Emperor Jing said slowly: "There was once a patriotic man named Shang Yu, who had a tumor under his elbow and armpit, and most of them did not develop on weekdays, so his life was fine; But every year or two it will erod, and every time it hurts; Some doctors say that they can cut it with a knife, or they can be cured; Shang Yu was afraid of pain, hesitated, and did not dare to cut; Then one day the tumor festered, and it spread all over the body, and after all, it was incurable, and Shang Yu died of pain and wailing, and shouted before he died, the disease of the elbow and armpit must be removed, and it was too late to regret! ”

"Hahahaha!"

After Emperor Jing finished laughing, the ministers of Liang Guo also laughed, Cui Shiquan was full of embarrassment, left and right, and didn't know how to answer.

Emperor Jing smiled: "The disease of the elbow and armpit must be removed!" I don't want to be the one who regrets it too late! Go, tell your lord what I say, if he binds himself to surrender, I can make him a king, so that he can enjoy wealth forever, if you refuse my army to the sky, the Liu family will be ashes, I hope he will do it himself. ”

Emperor Jing's words were like throwing a sword to the ground, and suddenly the entire hall was silent!

Cui Shiquan trembled and bowed, his head was attached to the gold brick of the main hall, and he said loudly: "Minister, receive the order, I hope that before the minister returns to Shu to report, Your Majesty will have mercy on the people and postpone the dispatch of troops." ”

Emperor Jing said with a smile: "Zuo Zongming, the general of my expedition to the west, has already led 200,000 troops to the south to disperse the pass at this moment, Liu Wenguang had better move quickly, otherwise the pass will be broken and the country will be destroyed, and my prisoner car will escort him to build the capital." ”

After Emperor Jing finished speaking, he stood up and drove away, and Lu Shen shouted: "Retreat!" ”

The ministers knelt down and shouted three times: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

The ministers quit the Zichen Hall in twos and threes!

Cui Yan stroked his beard and smiled: "Hahaha! Your Majesty's words, elbow and armpit diseases, must not be removed, what a wonderful saying"

Xie Xun turned to Cui Yan and said, "Old man Cui, it's good to go to the room with the old man to have a cup of tea, it's a good Yunjian." ”

Cui Yan nodded and replied, "Old man Xie, this is very good." ”

The two laughed and walked away.

Cui Shiquan turned around and walked out in a trance, and when he saw Lu Shaoqun, the Qing of Honglu Temple, he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Lord Lu, help me again, let me see Your Majesty again!" Just once! ”

When Lu Shaoqun saw Cui Shiquan coming, he hurriedly trotted all the way and avoided it from a distance, and all the surrounding ministers avoided it, so there was an extremely funny scene, a Shu minister actually ran after the dignified Liang Guojiuqing.

Xiao Siyu's first court was over, and he was actually crowned the blessed king, he thought about going to the emperor's grandmother to report the good news first, so he also accelerated his pace to Jingren Palace.

"Seventh brother stays!"

Xiao Siyu turned around and saw the prince, King Xin, and King Ning coming hand in hand, Xiao Siyu hurriedly stopped, turned around and saluted: "The younger brother has seen the prince's elder brother, the second brother, and the sixth brother. ”

The prince smiled: "Xiao Qi, you are also going to be crowned king, you have to be generous, like an adult, don't act so timid." ”

Xiao Siyu nodded and replied: "What Brother Prince said is that Xiao Qi has been timid since he was a child, which made Brother Prince smile." ”

King Xin also smiled and said: "Xiao Qi, let's go out of Beijing with my second brother in two months, we can go together for a while." ”

Xiao Siyu nodded and replied, "Yes, second brother, it's so good." ”

Only King Ning was a little sad, and stepped forward to put his arm on Xiao Siyu's shoulder and complained: "Is my father mistaken, I should also go to the domain, why let Xiao Qi go first, it's unreasonable, it seems that I have to go and talk to my father." ”

The prince hurriedly reprimanded: "Sixth, don't be reckless, my father's decision has a deep meaning, how can we as sons figure it out at will." ”

King Xin also stepped forward to persuade: "Sixth, let's go first, the queen mother is waiting for us to have lunch, and the queen mother should say it when we are late, Xiaoqi, do you want to go with us to see the queen mother." ”

Xiao Siyu smiled and said, "Second brother, the imperial grandmother has prepared lunch for me today, next time." ”

King Xin nodded, and the prince stepped forward and patted Xiao Siyu's shoulder gently, and said slightly jokingly: "Grandmother is eccentric, just love this Xiao Qi, let's go, Xiao Qi, you go to Grandmother's side." ”

Xiao Siyu saluted and said goodbye: "The prince's brother, second brother, and sixth brother, the younger brother retired first." ”

Then he turned and left.

King Xin whispered in the prince's ear: "Big brother, if he goes to Jiangdu, it will be difficult to start." ”

The prince shook his head, his face changed slightly, and said, "Second brother, be cautious." ”

King Ning next to him looked at the back of Xiao Siyu who was leaving, and he was still faintly reluctant.

The prince turned around and said, "Sixth, let's go, don't let the queen mother wait for a long time." ”

King Ning said to the crown prince Xinwang: "Big brother, second brother, I went to accompany the imperial grandmother to dinner, and you went to help me take leave with the queen mother." ”

King Ning quickly caught up with Xiao Siyu and shouted, "Old Seven, wait for me." ”

The crown prince looked at King Ning and sighed: "Why is this sixth man so confused? ”

King Xin smiled slightly and said nothing.
