Song Yi

Chapter 390 The Tiger's Den
Du Wenhao looked grateful, hurriedly straightened his robes, and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your magnanimity, Brother Huang! Just don't mention it again, Brother Yu."

Only then did King Yong turn his anger into joy: "That's right! The former Prime Minister Cai told this king that he had promised you the post of privy envoy, and this king readily agreed immediately. In the face of the Fanjun of the Western Mountains of Tubo, with few enemies and many enemies, they avoided their edge, led the enemy by the nose, and used favorable fighters to organize counterattacks in time. They won a big victory and wiped out the Fanjun of the Western Mountains. It's very beautiful. Although you are good at taking over the military power, you committed a big taboo, but it was because of the emergency of the military. At that time, the king advised the emperor, saying that you should not punish you too severely, and pay attention to you You must use good steel on the edge of your sword! No, isn’t the position of deputy privy envoy reserved for you? Hahaha”

Du Wenhao showed a little complacency on his face: "Brother Huang is absurdly praised, brother Yu is also a blind cat and a dead mouse. Hehe"

"Okay! After this king ascends the throne, I will let you take command of the Northern Expedition, and kill all the dead rats like Xixia and Daliao for this king! How about completing the great cause of unifying the country?"

Surprised and delighted, Du Wenhao hurriedly got up, and slammed onto the ground: "Thank you, brother emperor, I will die after doing my best, and send my master to the north to flatten Xia Liao!"

"Okay! Then let's make a deal! You go back now, don't worry about anything else, just speak to the queen mother on behalf of the king, let him make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams!"

"Yes!" Du Wenhao bowed and agreed, but he still stood there, saying goodbye.

When King Yong saw this, he smiled and said, "Is there anything else, my brother?"

"Yes." Du Wenhao took out a book from his bosom, stepped forward two steps, and said embarrassingly: "I heard that the emperor likes ancient books, and I searched for rare books everywhere. It happened that I bought a copy when I was visiting the doctors. I don’t know if it’s useful, so I’ll show it to Brother Huang.”

King Yong's liking for ancient rare books has reached a crazy level. In order to seize a rare book of Eastern Jin Buddhist scriptures owned by Prime Minister Fu Bi, he ruined Fu Bi's family.Now when Du Wenhao said that he had an ancient book, he immediately became interested. Although he didn't believe that Du Wenhao could receive any good book, he still stood up and walked over to take the book.

Upon seeing this, King Yong's eyes widened suddenly, his breathing became rapid, his hands were trembling, and he couldn't speak smoothly: "Huiyuan... the "Infinite Life Sutra" written by Master Huiyuan "?! God, this is a treasure!—Come on! Maybe it's a fake! Wait for me to have a look!"

King Yong held the book in both hands, as if he was holding his own heart, and moved back to his seat step by step. He carefully placed the book on the table, collected himself, and then stretched out his trembling hands to twirl the paper first. , his eyes lit up even more: "That's right, this paper is from the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

Slowly flipping through the pages, nodding.After only a meal, King Yong raised his head, his face distorted with excitement: "My dear brother, this book is really the Sanskrit "Infinite Life Sutra" handwritten by Master Huiyuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He and Wang Xizhi He is a good friend, and he was taught by Wang Xizhi in calligraphy, which has the flavor of a calligrapher. The inscription and postscript of this book are his handwriting! There is also a seal! This king once got a Sanskrit Buddhist scripture handwritten by Master Huiyuan. The books are exactly the same! It should be an authentic copy completed at the same time!"

Du Wenhao laughed and said, "If it's true, then that's great."

Which scripture King Yong was holding, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He lifted his robe and sat down, still pressing the Buddhist scripture with his hand, and looked at Du Wenhao: "My dear brother, the king bought this book. What do you say?" price, this king will never bargain!"

"No, brother, this book...hehe, I can't sell it..."

A trace of displeasure flashed across King Yong's face, and he raised three fingers: "This king bids 300 taels of gold!"

300 taels of gold is equivalent to RMB 300 million!

Du Wenhao shook his head.

King Yong raised five fingers again: "500 taels!—My dear brother, 500 taels of gold is a lot!"

Du Wenhao still smiled and shook his head.

King Yong clenched his fist: "Okay! For the sake of my virtuous brother, make up a whole number, 1000 taels of gold!"

Du Wenhao still shook his head.

King Yong slowly put his hand down: "It seems that Brother Xian doesn't want money, hehe, what do you want? Say it."

Du Wenhao bowed and said: "I don't want anything, this book is a tribute to the emperor, as a congratulatory gift for the emperor's ascension to the throne!"

King Yong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly, pointed at Du Wenhao and said: "My dear brother, I really have you! Hahaha, good! Good brother! This gift of yours has really been sent to my heart! Thank you, thank you Xian Brother. Hahahaha!"

"That's what it should be." Du Wenhao laughed again: "In addition, Brother Yu also bought hundreds of fat sheep, which are going to be sent to the horse guards and infantry guards. They have worked hard for days, and they should be rewarded. It's just these Cattle and sheep are all alive, so it takes a little effort to slaughter them."

King Yong praised: "Brothers are really thoughtful, it's okay, just come here to roast a whole lamb, these brothers like it the most. How about this, this king will take you to meet the brothers tonight, and let them give you a good respect." A few drinks, I know you drink very well. Hahaha"

King Yong touched the scripture again and again, and he couldn't put it down. Du Wenhao sent a large herd of live sheep to reward his army, so it was impossible to poison him, so he was not suspected, and even praised Du Wenhao for his thoughtfulness.

Du Wenhao bowed again and said: "In addition, Brother Yu has a small suggestion, I wonder if it is suitable?"

"Well, my brother's suggestion must be good! Say it!"

"My brother Yu wants to enter the palace later and persuade the empress dowager to remove the military power of Wei An, the commander of the guards in front of the palace. I wonder if it will work?"

King Yong was surprised and delighted, and suddenly stood up, holding the rare Buddhist scripture in his hand: "What did you say? Brother, can you really persuade the empress to remove Wei Andu's military power?"

"Brother Yu wants to try, but he is not sure."

"Good! Good! Good!" King Yong said three good words in a row. His only fear was that Wei An's guards in front of the palace controlled the palace. This was the biggest obstacle to his enthronement. There is no need to worry anymore.The world was already under his control, King Yong walked up to Du Wenhao, and even said eagerly: "My dear brother, if you really can accomplish this, after this king ascends the throne, the privy envoy will be yours! , this king also named you Zhongyonghou!"

From the promise of the privy envoy to the privy envoy, Du Wenhao's grinning mouth almost hung in his ears, and he slammed on the ground: "Thank you, brother! - If the empress dowager agrees to remove Wei An's military power, the foolish brother should let the empress Who will the Queen Mother hand over to the command of the guards in front of the palace?"

"Just teach you, hahaha, my good brother!" King Yong was overwhelmed by the series of joys. Hearing Du Wenhao's initiative to ask such a question, he didn't have the slightest doubt about Du Wenhao, so he replied without hesitation.

"Yes! Brother Yu, if you can accomplish this, come back immediately and wait for the emperor's orders!"

"Okay! Very good! Go quickly, I am waiting for your good news! Hahaha..." King Yong laughed with great satisfaction while holding the scriptures.

"Yes!"

Du Wenhao said goodbye happily and left Prince Yong's Mansion.

After getting on the sedan chair, his smile turned into a sneer, and he ordered the sedan chair to go straight to the palace.

Du Wenhao didn't dare to go too far, he just hugged her, but at this point, he didn't know what to do next.

The Empress Dowager took the opportunity to stabilize her mind, looked up at him and asked, "How's the matter?"

Du Wenhao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold her soft hand, and tightened it tightly: "I'll take care of things, don't worry. Everything will go according to plan."

"Well, that's good! You must not hurt the two princes, and of course you must not hurt the sixth grandson!"

Du Wenhao patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, I will remember."

Du Wenhao said softly: "Yes, I have suffered a lot for you these days, but in the future, you will listen to the government behind the curtain, and you are still busy. I am afraid that there will be no time for you to rest in peace."

The Empress Dowager took the opportunity to sit up straight, snorted, and said, "They dare! Who dare not buy it, I will withdraw him!"

Du Wenhao said with a bitter face: "I heard that Prince Yong is very vengeful, but I held him in public and cut Prince Cao's neck. No one will easily let this kind of shame go. Talk!"
