Chapter 50: Jinbao (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
An attendant beside him flashed, Dong Mian whispered a few words to him, and retreated.
After a while, the attendant and another strong man carried a wooden box twice as large as a jewelry box, opened it and displayed it, which was stuffed with gold bars.
Oh, I'll go! Seeing Xu Wu, he immediately lost the chopsticks in his hand.
Dong Mian pointed to the gold bar and smiled: "I can't calculate the value of these treasures, so I prepared these first." If you give less, please make it clear. I'll add more. ”
Tang San was hiding as a monk, and when he saw so much money for the first time, he immediately wanted to refuse it, so he got up and said, "Prime Minister Dong, ......"
"Thank you, Prime Minister Dong! Xu Wu suddenly said, and the sound overshadowed Tang Sanzang.
Xu Wu was suddenly hit by a treasure falling from the sky, and he was happy, how could he be spoiled by the master, how much rations can be bought with this money!
Tang Sanzang scratched his scalp, knowing the difficulties of Xu Wu being in charge, and sat back silently.
Dong Mian saw that Xu Wu had accepted the gold bars, so he took the jewelry box away, thinking that he could watch it all night tonight.
After receiving the gift, he said happily: "You are new to the city, if you need my help, just tell me." ”
Xu Wu and Xin Yan made eye contacts, and now was the opportunity to speak. Xin Yan stepped forward to thank him first: "Then there is really Prime Minister Lao." ”
"No, no, I can do what I can. "Prime Minister Dong Cheng is polite on the surface, but in fact he is full of confidence, he is under one person, above ten thousand, and there is almost nothing he can't do in Jialuo.
Seeing that the other party talked about this, Xin Yan could naturally make a request: "That's the case, in addition to this box in your hand, we also have a box of jewels that we want to present to the current king, I don't know if it's convenient for the prime minister to introduce it?"
"Haha......" Dong Mian suddenly laughed, and everyone didn't know what to mean.
He patted his thigh and continued, "Well said, good talk, the king also likes to play with this kind of treasure, I can talk about it for you." ”
Xin Yan said excitedly: "That's really bothering you." ”
Dong Mian filled the table with a mouthful, and said, "Tomorrow I will inform the king first, and if I get permission, I will inform you." ”
"Thank you very much. Xin Yan bowed again and thanked him.
Dong Mian raised his glass and said, "Come on, come on, fill the wine." Let's have a few more drinks. ”
During the banquet, Dong Yibu thought that he would at least win the wine punch because he had not been on a par with Sun Wukong before. So he immediately taught Sun Wukong how to play. The monkey is clever, now learning and selling, and is on a par with a master like Dong Yibu.
And they drank another hour and dispersed.
The next day, Dong Mian carefully selected two of the most beautiful plastic necklaces and entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Dong Cheng asks to see you. ”
One of the attendants stood at the door of the king's quarters and knelt on one knee.
The current king, Xuanmei, was carefully wiping the night pearl in his hand, and said without raising his head: "Let him in." ”
After a while, Dong Mian walked in with a smile and saluted the king first.
Xuanmei blew the dust on the night pearl and asked, "What are you looking for me?"
"One good thing, one thing may not be good. What does Your Majesty want to start with?" Dong Mian looked at Xuan Mei's reaction.
Xuanmei put down the scarf in his hand and said without thinking, "Come in advance." ”
The corners of Dong Mian's mouth rose, and as expected, he took out two plastic necklaces from his pocket. There are transparent beads the size of a dragon's eye on it, which is very domineering, and this one was also Xu Wu's favorite when he played at home.
Xuanmei's eyes widened, thinking it was a pearl, but, where is the pearl so big?
He hurriedly took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and was amazed: "It's really a good product, it looks like a pearl but not like a pearl. It's amazing, where did this treasure come from?"
Dong Mian saw that the king appreciated it, and knew that he had a +1 favorability in the king's heart, and said: "There is a friend from the Tang Dynasty who brought a box of rare treasures and wants to contribute to Your Majesty." ”
When Xuan Mei heard that it was a guest from a big country, he was a little excited, and hurriedly said, "You announce them in." Fast. ”
Dong Mian replied: "They don't go with me, if Your Majesty is willing, I will let them enter the palace tomorrow to offer treasures." ”
Xuanmei heard that he didn't come now, and he was a little disappointed: "Okay, good." He hung the plastic necklace directly around his neck and asked, "How?"
"Good looking, good-looking. "Where does Dong Mian dare to say that the necklace is as big as a Buddha bead, and the king looks no different from a monk. Xuan Mei looked at the bronze mirror and was very satisfied.
While the master was happy, Dong Mian continued: "Then the subordinate is going to talk about another thing." ”
Xuan Mei recalled Dong Mian's words just now, another thing was not a good thing, and shook his head and said: "I don't really want to hear it, you can handle it yourself." ”
Dong Mian frowned: "This matter can't be mastered by subordinates, it's a matter of six-six-six." ”
As soon as he heard "Six-Six-Six", Xuanmei's expression became solemn, this was the exclusive code of the two of them, and he hadn't heard the news about "Six-Six-Six" for a long time.
Xuan Mei glanced around, and in addition to Dong Mian, there were still two attendants left in the room, so he ordered: "You all go down." ”
"Yes. After the squire finished speaking, he closed the door and retreated.
Xuan Mei put his ear on the door, made sure that the attendant had gone away, and said to Dong Mian: "You can talk about it." ”
Dong Mian began to report: "Xia Xinyan has become the abbot of Damen Temple, and wants to get some money from His Majesty to renovate and expand the century-old temple. He dared to come forward because of his status as the former crown prince. ”
Xuanmei pouted and said, "Hmph." It's just a stand-in.,I really think I'm a genuine card.。 ”
Dong Mian lowered his voice and said: "In his own opinion, it is." From the time he was ignorant, everyone told him, 'You are Xia Xinyan, you are the former prince', and only His Majesty and I know the truth." ”
Xuan Mei thought to himself, over the years, he has done many times to drive away the rain, so that the Damen Temple can keep the rain from touching. Fortunately, the last time King Xia Chuan visited the imposter was when he was 11 years old, and then the imposter grew longer and more disabled, and his weight skyrocketed.
Thinking of all the cover-up actions he did every time he was afraid of the East Window incident, Xuan Mei was afraid. It is time to put an end to all this, and let the code of "666" withdraw from the stage of history.
Xuan Mei said: "After all, he is an impostor, I have long wanted to get rid of him." The imperial brother has passed away, and it is useless to keep him alive, so I will leave this matter to you. ”
"This ......" Dong Mian looked embarrassed.
Xuan Mei asked in a positive voice, "Don't do it?"
Dong Mian bowed: "No, my subordinates know." ”
"Remember, don't show your feet. Xuan Mei reminded again, he is now the king, and he can't do it himself, otherwise he won't be at ease.
Dong Mian pursed his lips and said, "Okay." ”
Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dong Mian followed Xuanmei's instructions and explained to a highly skilled personal guard: "Set off tomorrow and go to Damen Temple to get rid of the abbot." ”
The guards were ordered to retreat.
