Great Tang Southern Emperor

Chapter 384 Everyone Offers Gifts

"As long as your Highness likes it." Meng Duluo said happily: "It is also an honor for His Highness to see this treasure. This is just a piece of marble, which means that the pattern is a bit unique. His Highness may make it into a screen. So as to block the wind and water for His Highness."

"Leader Meng has a heart, this palace likes it very much." Touching the smooth stone, Li Zhenai couldn't put it down: "Don't worry, as long as Liuzhao doesn't make trouble, I guarantee that the people of Liuzhao will live a life that is a hundred times happier than before. .”

Although the Southwest is poor, it is mainly because the roads are difficult to travel and the people's wisdom is not yet developed. However, the Southwest is not poor at all, not only not poor, but also rich in resources, which is one of the best even in the entire Tang Dynasty.If this place can be developed, or even just need to build a road into the southwest, so that the special products inside can be sent out, then the life of the people in Liuzhao will definitely be greatly improved. As for them, after communicating with the outside world, will they still be willing? It is beyond Li Zhen's control to return to the poor land of Liuzhao and continue to be their obedient citizen.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness." What Meng Duluo wanted was Li Zhen's statement. It can be said that with Li Zhen's guarantee, at least half of his request has been guaranteed this time, and he only needs to visit a few more times. People with high positions and powers, and then get their promises, I believe that the Tang court will definitely agree to my request.

"Your Highness, this is a gift from my subordinates." Meng Duluo's success made the others anxious, and the youngest Fengyupu immediately took out his own gift, a large box full, On top of all the presents was a sword—a sword that seemed to have no special features except for its simple appearance.

Withdrawing the sword, Li Zhen was even more dissatisfied, because this sword was actually bronze. Although it seemed to have been passed down for a long time, it should have a history of about a thousand years, but as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhen had nothing else in his hand, but the antique was a lot.In addition to the rewards from Li Shimin, there are also those he collected from the people, which filled several large warehouses. There are hundreds of ancient bronze swords like Li Zhen.Moreover, although this sword looks old, it is obviously not maintained properly, and there are rust spots in the blood tank. Even if it is placed in Li Zhen's collection, it can only be regarded as a low-grade one, not a treasure.

However, when the other five leaders saw the sword, they were all taken aback, and then showed eager expressions.

Naturally, their expressions couldn't be hidden from Li Zhen, which made him very curious: "What? Is there anything strange about this sword?"

The face of Fengyu shop showed pride: "Your Highness does not know, this sword is not an ordinary bronze sword, the name of this sword is Chuan Shui, and its name is on the sword. The sword of Zhuang Qiao, the famous general of Chu State, was given to him by the king of Chu at that time, and he also used this sword to conquer Tiannan, and founded the Dian Kingdom here."

"The Kingdom of Dian? So what?" Li Zhen was taken aback. Of course he knew about the Kingdom of Dian. The way back was cut off by the Qin State, so they stayed in the Dianchi area and established the Dian Kingdom. The capital is in the present Kunming generation. However, in the period of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, the Dian Kingdom surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and then completely disappeared in the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty. .

If this sword was Zhuang Qiao's saber, it would be considered a good collection, but it wouldn't make them look envious, would it?

"His Royal Highness, this is the case. After Zhuang Qiao conquered Tiannan, he searched for a large number of treasures and hid them in a secret place. The information of the treasures is hidden on the Water Transfer Sword." Fengyupu continued He explained that he was afraid that Li Zhen would look down on this treasure, and said: "The treasure is very huge, and it claims to be able to buy the entire Dian Kingdom. After all, he is also a betrayer, so of course he has to prepare for the future.

It's a pity that this treasure was useless until the Dian Kingdom was destroyed. Later, the Dian Kingdom was destroyed, the royal family was slaughtered, and the secret of Chuan Shuijian was also cut off.After thousands of years of inheritance, the Chuan Shui Sword has passed through the hands of countless masters, but no one has comprehended the secret above.Later, this sword also disappeared, until it was accidentally obtained by my grandfather 30 years ago, and it has been in the hands of our lineage. "

"So that's it, it's interesting, it's really interesting." Li Zhen carefully looked at the sword in his hand. He really didn't expect this sword to have such a story, and judging from the expressions of the other leaders, the legend of this sword should not be compiled by Fengyupu. Yes, of course, it's hard to say whether the legend is true or not.Of course, Li Zhen didn't need to know the authenticity of the legend, anyway, he didn't intend to decipher the secret of the sword, but if this sword was blessed with the legend of treasure, it would be considered a good collectible.

"Yes, I like this thing very much, so I will accept it." Of course, Li Zhen does not want the treasure, but first of all, the authenticity of the treasure is still open to question, and secondly, according to Fengyupu, this sword has experienced countless times. Master, but no one can comprehend the secret of the treasure. Li Zhen doesn't think he can comprehend it by himself, so he should accept it first and hand it over to the think tank to decipher it later.

Feng Yupu smiled and said: "Your Highness likes it. The people of Liuzhao have lived in Tiannan for a long time and have not been enlightened. It is normal that they can't break the sword, but His Royal Highness is the proud son of heaven. He has countless advisers and wise men. Maybe he can really break the sword. It is possible to open this long-sealed treasure."

"Then I will accept your good words." Li Zhen smiled and said nothing.

"Your Highness, this is a gift from my servants to His Highness." Feng Yu laid it down, followed by the original photo, which was also a large box, but after opening the box, Li Zhen's face immediately turned dark—because there was no What Li Zhen thinks of as pearls and gems is a real person, a beautiful woman who is about the same age as her.

"What do you mean? Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?" Li Zhen was a little annoyed. Is her reputation that bad?Has it all been passed on to Liuzhao?

Xiao Fuzi laughed, and helped to explain: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, this woman is Yuan Zhao's younger sister, Yuan Xi, and the number one beauty in the Six Edicts."

Yuan Zhao followed suit and nodded again and again: "Forgive me, Your Highness. I was impoverished by the imperial edict, and I really didn't have any treasures to hand out. That's why... Although Yuan Xi is vulgar, but fortunately she still has a good skin, and her hands and feet can be regarded as dexterous. Your Highness may accept it, but it is fine to stay by your side as a servant girl."

"..." Li Zhen was speechless, was she in such a hurry?

Chapter 1027

385 chapter

"..." Yuan Xi didn't speak, but looked at Li Zhen with watery eyes, which were full of admiration.

In fact, when she first heard that her brother was going to give her away, Yuan Xi was very dissatisfied, because she had her own ideal, that is, she hoped that the person she married would be a great hero, but although Li Zhen was in East Asia This area is very famous, but Yuan Xi is just a young girl who has no experience in the world, and has never been involved in the affairs of the clan. Where has she heard of Li Zhen's name?Who knows whether he is old or young, beautiful or ugly?

Fortunately, Yuan Zhao still knew her sister well, and told Yuan Xi about Li Zhen's deeds, which was far beyond Yuan Xi's expectations. Originally, according to her idea, the so-called great hero was the age of his brother or Feng Yupu The kind of person who has a successful career at a young age, but when she learned about Li Zhen, she realized how unbearable the hero in her mind was in the past. The gap between the two is like the sun in the sky between the bushes. Firefly, there is no comparison at all.

Especially after meeting Li Zhen today, I found that he is not only a hero, but also made the six chiefs of the Six Zhaos kneel before him, and more importantly, this His Royal Highness is very young and handsome, and he is simply the best choice for a partner. On the contrary, Yuan Xi's heart began to become tense - what should he do if this Highness doesn't like her?

Seeing the dissatisfaction on Li Zhen's face, Xiao Fuzi approached Li Zhen's ear and whispered: "Your Highness, this is Yuan Zhao's wish after all, you should accept it. And he only brought this one this time. If His Highness refuses to accept the gift, not only will the face of the original picture be unsightly, but the entire Meng Yu Zhao will be ashamed because of it. This will also be detrimental to the subsequent rule of the Tang Dynasty over the Liu Zhao. Moreover, His Highness does not know that the Liu Zhao The women are very fierce, and only one man is allowed in their life. If the man dies, these women will either be buried or die alone... If His Highness rejects Yuan Xi today, I am afraid that Yuan Xi will not be able to live if he goes back. Therefore, whether it is for Liuzhao Stability is still for Yuan Xi's life, Your Highness, you'd better take them all away."

"Of course I know this, but correspondingly, the men of Liuzhao will only marry one woman in their lifetime. If these men have affairs, the women of Liuzhao have the right to kill men, and I have heard that the men of Liuzhao People are good at raising Gu, if..."

"That's a normal situation. Can you be like them, Your Highness? Otherwise, how would you explain the girls brought back by your servants?" Xiao Fuzi asked back in a low voice, leaving Li Zhen speechless.

Seeing that Li Zhen was a little moved, Xiao Fuzi said again: "Besides, if Your Highness really doesn't like it, then just don't touch them. When you meet a suitable person in the future, just reward them."

"What you said makes sense." Li Zhen also understood that whether it was this Yuan Xi or the nine women outside, they were all destined to belong to him. Their faces are not good-looking, and the fate of these women will not be much better when they go back, at least they will never want to marry for the rest of their lives.Moreover, Liuzhao was newly attached, because the people's hearts were already unstable due to the previous turmoil. If I rejected Yuan Xi and these women again, I'm afraid the people in Liuzhao would think too much, and there was no guarantee that there would be no problems at that time.

So, regardless of whether it is public or private, these women must be filled into the harem (Li Zhen sighed: Hey, I obviously don’t want it in my heart, but the girl always puts her life into my arms, it’s really useless The method, why is this? Zhao Bensan disdains: Hypocritical, do you believe that I will turn you into a eunuch in the next chapter? Li Zhen hurriedly begged for mercy: No, Daddy, I just admit it, there is indeed a little bit of it in my heart Cheering to myself. Zhao Bensan was triumphant: Hehe... fighting with me? The audience scolded: Bastard, if you sprinkle dog food in front of us single dogs, we will go crazy. Li Zhen and Zhao Bensan begged for mercy: No No, no, no more dog food, let’s get right to the point.).

After bowing her head and pondering for a while, Li Zhen looked at Yuan Xi with a light smile and said, "In that case, then you should stay with me."

"..." Yuan Xi nodded quickly, and then chattered a lot, but Li Zhen didn't understand a word.

Yuan Zhao quickly apologized: "Your Highness, forgive me, Yuan Xi has never traveled far and cannot speak Chinese."

"It's okay, she has enough time to learn in front of me." Li Zhen waved his hand, he is very experienced in this, because many concubines in his harem are from Nanyang, and there were not many who could speak Chinese when they first came. , now all of them are still slipping away in Chinese?All this is due to Li Zhen.

"Okay, Your Highness has already accepted your gift, so you can withdraw the original photo too." Xiao Fuzi glared at the original photo, and you had to leave the biggest benefit, why are you so blind?Didn't you see that the eyeballs of other people's envy turned red?

"From now on, Meng Yuzhao will be His Royal Highness's most loyal courtier. Where His Highness is pointing his arm, Meng Yuzhao will follow along with the whole family." Yuan Zhao was overjoyed when he saw that the girl was standing beside Li Zhen. He drew out his dagger and pointed it at his There was a knife in the arm, and then he raised his bloody hand high, and swore in a very passionate tone.

"I have seen your loyalty, don't worry, as long as Meng Yuzhao does not resist Datang, you will definitely be the most loyal courtiers of Datang, and I promise to lead you on the road to wealth." Oath, Li Zhen was very surprised. This kind of oath should be the most solemn oath in the southwest region. Most people would not make such an oath. Didn't you see that Mengduluo and Fengyupu didn't do it?But because of this, Li Zhen saw Yuan Zhao's sincerity, and it happened that Meng Yuzhao was relatively strong and poor. It seems that they can set a model for them in the future.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yuan Zhao kowtowed again and retreated.

His performance made the other leaders envious, jealous and remorseful, why didn't he think of this move?No matter how many treasures you give, how can it be worth a woman's pillow style?Although according to the rules of the Six Edicts, a girl should take care of her husband wholeheartedly after she gets married, and she doesn't have to take too much care of her natal family, but Yuan Zhao is Yuan Xi's elder brother after all. Can't convey yet?

Regret, Yuanzhao, this little bastard is too cunning, this trick simply compares to everyone's gifts, even Meng Duluo and Fengyupu's limelight was taken away by him, it is simply too hateful, too cunning.

"Your Highness, this is a gift from my servant... Blood Emerald Ruyi..."

Next, Bo Ling, Qian Yu, and Shi Wang all sent their own gifts, each of which was priceless, but with the original photo of the jewels in front of them, the gift givers were not in a good mood, even if Li Zhen They all liked the presents, and they didn't make them happy - no matter how precious the presents were, they were only temporary. It was impossible for Li Zhen to hold their gifts all the time, but people were alive. As long as they didn't fall out of favor, they could appear in Li Zhen anytime In front of Zhen, this effect is worth hundreds of peerless treasures.

"Your Highness, I heard that you have acquired a few more beauties? Why don't you bring them out for us to see, so that I can see the beauties from all over the world." The leaders of Liuzhao who had just sent away, Wu Meiniang over there After getting the accurate information, I came here with a big belly to "invoke the teacher".

"Oh, Meiniang, don't make sarcastic remarks. I'm almost dying of worry. If this goes on, my reputation for lust will really come true. What should I do?" Seeing Wu Meiniang teasing herself, Li Zhen With a face full of pain, she quickly helped Wu Meiniang to sit on the chair, and said helplessly, "But it's not like you don't know, I can't accept this kind of situation, the Six Edicts have just been attached, if I don't accept their gift I am afraid that not only the six leaders, but even the entire Liuzhao will feel uneasy, which will be very detrimental to the next rule of the Tang Dynasty. But don't worry, I will not touch any of these women. I will meet the right one after a while. If there are people, I will arrange to marry them all off."

"How can this be done?" Wu Meiniang smiled at the corner of her mouth, shook her head and objected: "These are the people who were given to His Highness by the Six Edicts, so what is the matter with His Highness marrying them off? It's fine if you know it, but if you don't know, you think your Highness can't see it." What about going to them? This is also not conducive to the rule of the Tang Dynasty. Your Highness, don't worry about us being jealous, the courtiers are not like that."

"Of course I know you're not that kind of person...but what you said is so reasonable, I'm speechless." Li Zhen's face became even more bitter, and Wu Meiniang suddenly burst out laughing.

"Oh, Mei Niang, it's already this time, and you're still brushing me... don't you have a solution? Hurry up, tell me what I should do?" Seeing this, Li Zhen couldn't understand why she was being raped. Wu Meiniang was playing tricks, she didn't come here to ask the teacher, but to help him solve this predicament?Quickly grabbing Wu Meiniang's little hand, she urged her eagerly.

Wu Meiniang's smiling face suddenly subsided, and she sighed leisurely: "Actually, what can I do? This concubine came this time to suggest that you accept these women. The concubine is pregnant and cannot serve His Highness, and most of the many sisters are also pregnant. Now that she is pregnant, these women will serve His Highness instead of us."

Li Zhen said helplessly: "It's not your fault that you are pregnant... No, am I the kind of anxious person... Is it what Xiao Fuzi told you, this dead eunuch really talks about everything, I'm so mad, I'm going to settle the score with him now."

Now, how could Li Zhen still not understand that this was all planned by Xiao Fuzi?First persuade myself to accept these women, and then persuade Wu Meiniang to let her persuade him to include these women in the East Palace?Only in this way can the stability of Liuzhao be guaranteed.Although he is dedicated to serving the public, Li Zhen dislikes this way very much.

"Your Highness, don't worry." Wu Meiniang hurriedly stood up and held Li Zhen back: "This is what my concubine meant. Even if Xiao Fuzi didn't say anything, my concubine would persuade His Highness to put the overall situation first and not concern about Xiao Fuzi. .”

"Forget it, we'll talk about it later." Li Zhen suddenly stared at Wu Meiniang's stomach: "After all, this little thing should be born soon, right?"

"Yes." Seeing Li Zhen's attention shifted to her stomach, Wu Meiniang showed a happy smile on her face: "This child was conceived by my concubine in July last year. Calculating the time, it will be ready in May." It's time to give birth."
