Chapter 742 The Best Birthday Gift

Because of His Highness King Ning's suggestion, Ying Shisan suddenly realized that they had been on the tip of their horns before, and they always wanted to make a breakthrough on Yu Wu, but they never considered attacking Yu Wu's family members.

"My lord, let's make a hypothesis. As long as the news of their arrest spreads and Patriarch Tantai finds out, Patriarch Tantai may think that they have betrayed, and they will attack Yu Da and Yu Wu's family members, and then..."

"Wait a minute!" His Highness King Ning interrupted him, "A more accurate description is to attack the entire Yu family, including Mr. Yu's widow. Although this king has never met the current head of the family, according to his With the behavior style of the past year, this person insists that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Even if the facts later prove that his suspicion is wrong, he will not regret it."

"The prince's judgment is the same as that of the Duke and the boss, and the old general Xuanyuan and that senior also said the same." Ying Shisan nodded in agreement, "People in the Tantai family are suspicious, but this It seems to be getting worse."

"In any family, such a radical person will appear every once in a while. The last time such a person appeared in Tantai's family was Tantai Pingchuan's younger brother. Calculating the time, it should be about the same." His Royal Highness Ning sneered He said, "It's actually the easiest to deal with such a person. As long as you continue to sow discord, you will eventually make him desert you."

"My lord is right!" Ying Shisan nodded, and stretched out his hand to touch his chin, "It's just that there is a big problem now. What should we do to let Patriarch Tantai know the news, and then take the next step .”

"You don't need to worry about this, you don't need to do anything at all." His Royal Highness Ning Wang thought for a while, and took another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice cake, "Based on what I know about the Tantai family, he will not only Xijing City arranged for one or several groups of people, and you have arrested many people this time, causing him to suffer a very heavy blow, but there are still very few people in Xijing City who are still lurking and have not been discovered."

"Independent of the spies we have caught?"

"That's right." His Royal Highness Ning nodded, "These people usually don't show themselves, and they don't have any contact with these spies, because their tasks are completely different. They are not responsible for collecting information, but for Monitor the situation of the spies. Once someone is caught or betrayed, the news will be sent back in time. After receiving the exact news, the Tantai family will make a timely response. And the final result will be very timely Let those who betrayed and those who were arrested know.”

"The whole process won't last too long, otherwise, the deterrent effect they expected will be lost."

"That's right." His Highness King Ning finished eating the glutinous rice in his hand, drank two sips of tea, lay back down again, and hiccupped in satisfaction, "Don't worry now, all you have to do is wait, wait When this news comes out, let Yu Wu see with his own eyes how the person he protects wholeheartedly treats him. At that time, even if you don't want him to speak, he will speak up himself." He smiled at Ying Shisan Laughing, "Trust me, he will definitely surprise you."

"Your Highness is wise!"

His Highness Prince Ning raised his eyebrows at Ying Shisan very proudly, and chatted with him about the latest news in Xijing City.

The Daiwang Mansion had a very pleasant conversation, and the birthday celebration ceremony at the Taihe Palace was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

The official of ceremonies finished reading the speeches of the officials to the Empress Dowager amidst the sound of silk and bamboo from the Department of Rites and Music, and began to read the list of gifts from the officials, nobles and royal relatives.

The birthday gifts of the civil and military officials, nobles, and royal relatives in Xijing City have already been sent to the Queen Mother’s inner treasury. At the birthday celebration, the gifts of officials from other places, military generals stationed on the border, nobles and royal relatives are displayed. birthday gift.

Because the empress dowager made repeated orders and orders, and issued several orders, not to allow extravagant gifts, and those who violated them will be severely punished.Therefore, the whole court followed the orders of the Empress Dowager, and did not send any strange or rare gifts. Almost all of them were local specialties, which looked very down-to-earth and simple.

The process of reading the gift list lasted for a very long time, and it took nearly a stick of incense before the ceremony officer finished reading the gift list of the foreign officials.

I don't know if it was because the incense from the Taihe Palace was too strong, Shen Cha felt dizzy and gradually became sleepy.Because she was sitting at the front, all the officials were looking in her direction, so it was inconvenient to be lazy, so they could only turn sideways, hide behind Shen Haolin, and yawned facing the direction of the throne.

At first, I thought no one would see it, but Song Jue just happened to look over and gave Shen Cha a smirk.

"He's so annoying!" Shen Cha rolled his eyes at Song Jue, and complained to Shen Haolin in a low voice, "When will this session end? It's so boring. It seems that there was no such part yesterday, did it?"

"No, but I did say that there will be this part of the official celebration, and I also said how long it will take." Shen Haolin saw her like this, and poured her a cup of tea, "You can rest for a while, I guess There's still half an hour to finish."

Shen Cha sighed deeply, then yawned again, and in the end, even Shen Haolin yawned too.

Before Shen Haolin said anything, Song Yaojia who was sitting next to him, who was also extremely bored, was also inspired, and hit him uncontrollably.

Then something wonderful happened. Starting from Song Yaojia, Dai Wang Ye, Wu Qingruo, Song Qiyun, Song Jue, and the Queen Mother were all pulled by this magical force, and everyone started to yawn, and then the entire Taihe Palace. He started to yawn, and the entire Taihe Palace was suddenly enveloped by tiredness. When the ceremony officer finished reading all the gift lists and turned around to prepare for the next part, he found that all the people in the hall were drowsy and listless. .

The ceremony officer expressed his helplessness when he saw this scene. He also thought that reading the gift list was a very boring thing, but he actually fell asleep after reading it, which was completely unexpected to him.

At such a particularly embarrassing moment, Hong Dutong, who was supposed to be on duty at the gate of the palace, strode into the hall with a big stride, holding a scroll in his hand, and knelt under the throne on one knee.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Liu Shuai sent the battle report!" Hong Dutong handed the scroll to Eunuch Pan who came down from the throne, "Liu Shuai won a great victory, wiped out a total of 30 people who invaded the Japanese pirates, and burned 21 Japanese pirate ships. At the same time, a total of 67 water thieves were wiped out, and a total of nine islands occupied by water thieves were recaptured."

"Good! Good! Good!" Song Jue said three good things in a row, and stood up very excitedly, "Shuai Liu is mighty! The navy of Daxia is mighty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!" As the commander of the Shen family army, Shen Haolin was the first to react, pulled Shen Cha to stand up, and saluted Song Jue and the Empress Dowager, "This is the best birthday gift Liu Shuai gave to the Empress Dowager!"
