Chapter 74 I am the Prophet

To be appreciated by Ouyang Xiu, this person must have a certain attainment in knowledge, but the use of people can't just read words. The pair of eyes next to the king can be regarded as countless people, which has long seen through Lv Huiqing,

Seeing that the king didn't say anything, Ouyang Xiu asked again, "I have just met this person before, and I also recommended this person to your father. Why didn't he go to your father's place and run to the royal palace to do? Qingchen, what we just saw that he was not wrong, right?" He turned his head and asked Li Shen,

Li Shen couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, I don't know if it's him, but you can imagine that he came to the palace to hold the tree, but reported it to the pillar of the palace."

Wang said, "Forget it, if I talk about him behind his back, won't it be the same as him? It's okay if this person doesn't mention it. Li Shenzheng, Kaifeng Mansion will hold a public trial of A Yun's case the next day. You are here today for this matter."

Wang Bian turned the topic to A Yun's case. Now Kaifeng Mansion is ready for everything, and only owes the day of the trial. Li Shen came mainly to follow the specific procedure with Wang Bian again, so as to avoid mistakes at that time. No wonder Li Shen was so careful and specially came to the royal palace. In the past few days, he inquired about the public trial outside Kaifeng Mansion. There are more and more people,

A Yun has no relatives and friends in the capital, and the case is just an ordinary criminal case, but it is the first time that a jury has participated in the decision. As soon as this matter comes out, the people feel very new. In the past, the case was judged by the officials, and they had to listen to the emperor when it comes to the code. Does ordinary people also have the right to judge the case? , even change the life and death of a suspect,

After three rounds of drinking, things were almost smooth. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the stairs outside, and then the door of the VIP room was pushed open. He Libo stood at the door and rushed to the king and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The king stood up and walked to the door, and asked in a low voice, "Brother He, why are you in such a hurry?"

He Li Bo whispered a few words in Wang's ear. After listening to it, Wang laughed. He Lipo lowered his voice, "Brother, you still laugh. Someone over there is worried to death."

"Well, you ask him to wait for me in the study. Leave it to me. Don't worry."

Wang turned around and returned to his seat. Li Shen and Ouyang Xiu saw that there was still a smile on his face. Li Shen asked, "Your prince is idle. You either have a Cuju or a blind date every day to see if there is anything interesting about this fun."

"My prince is an idle job, and this fun is indeed a fun thing. Didn't you fall in love with Wang Ping, the daughter of my second uncle Wang An's country, at the king of the blind date? The prince of Tubo just sent a betrothal gift and was returned by my second uncle. Now the Ali bone is worried about luck there."

"Ah? Why is that? Didn't the emperor get married at the blind date? Does your second uncle want to disobey the imperial edict? Li Shen asked,

Wang's side couldn't help laughing and said, "Listen to me, you can't blame my second uncle for this. Ali's betrothal gift is 100 taels of gold and 500 taels of silver. This dowry is difficult for the second uncle."

Ouyang Xiu laughed and said, "This is all what you have done. In the world, only the emperor and the prince don't worry about such a heavy bride price."

The king's heart moved. In the eyes of the world, he actually compared his wealth with the emperor. Am I so rich? Suddenly, the king felt that he really didn't know how much money he had. There were always tens of millions of taels of silver. The expenses of the royal palace were basically given by the court, and he took a lot of rewards from the court alone; then Some income is the dividends of Jinxiangfu and teahouse, and the most direct is the bank,

Especially Jinxiang Mansion and Bank, which are a monopoly industry. There is only one Jinxiang Mansion in the world. Only Taibao Bank is spread all over the Song Dynasty. The bank lends silver to the court, and the court also pays interest. In short, not to mention counting money, even the zero behind the account book can be counted. Hand cramps,

At this time, don't think about how much money you have. If you have a daughter who can recruit a fast son-in-law, you can get how much money. Thinking of this, the king smiled and said, "My daughter hasn't been born yet, so she has already promised out. I don't have a chance to expect to be rich as my son-in-law."

"Oh, this is novel. Let me listen to whose family the prince's unborn daughter is married. It's too late to be the princess of Tubo. Is it possible that she is ready to be the queen of the future?"

Wang saw that Ouyang Xiu's questioning was irrelevantly, so he said, "I'm going to give birth to four or five of her daughters. One is married to Dali, one is married to Xixia, one is married to Dali, and the other is married to Tubo, and one is left with us in the Song Dynasty. Except for the queen, we should not do anything else. Then the emperors of all countries in the world are our aunts. Master, we won't be the prince, just the first father-in-law on that day.

Li Shen raised his glass and said to Ouyang Xiu, "Hahaha, the prince has this ability. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."

The king raised his fist and said with a serious face, "I believe that the king will have eternal life." He seemed to be serious, which made Ouyang Xiu and Li Shen laugh,

In the process of lunch, you can drink more wine, and Li Shenlai asked questions. After the three of them had lunch, Wang Bing ordered Lu Shenyan to tidy up the small courtyard for Ouyang Xiu, and took Ouyang Xiu to the school in the Wangfu Academy to have a look.

When Wang came to the study, He Libo and Zheng and Aligu were waiting for him while playing chess in front of the coffee table. Seeing that he came in, the two stopped playing chess. He Libo said, "You are here. This second brother can't even play chess. Look at the appearance of defeating."

"He doesn't have the heart to play chess, hehe."

Ali Gu stood up, picked up a big red package and put it on the desk: "Third brother, all these gold and silver are here. It seems that I can't do it if I want to be your brother-in-law. Shame on you, I have no face."

"Oh? Where can we find what we lost? Wang said with a smile. He asked someone to ask Lu Shenyan to come up and take out a hundred taels of silver from the package: "Send someone to send this to the second uncle's house. In addition, he is picking some clothes and cloth from the house and looking for some jewelry. Remember to say that it was a betrothal gift sent by Ali Bone."

"Go still," Ali Gu said reluctantly that he was also the prince of Tibet and the marriage of the emperor of the Song Dynasty. How could he let people return the betrothal gift?

Wang looked at Aligu with a squinting smile: "What, do you want to regret your marriage?"

Ali Gu quickly waved his hand: "I didn't think about it, but the marriage didn't work yet, so I let others refuse, and I don't know where the question came from."

Lu Shenyan hurried forward to explain the rules of the betrothal gifts of the Song people to Ali Gu. Ali Gu suddenly realized, but he turned to say, "Third brother, let's say your second uncle, my father-in-law's family is also an official of the Song Dynasty. How can he not be as rich as my Tubo officials?"

"This shows the integrity of our officials in the Song Dynasty. It is because there are so many such officials that the Song Dynasty is so powerful that the countries of Dali and Tibet are subordinate." Wang said that he was a little blushing and guilty, but he couldn't think of any other words if he didn't say so,

Ali's bones nodded in a simple way: "That's right. My name is Tubo's officials are rich, and the people are richer. Shanzhou, and there are Lingu City in the west to Qinghai. All the countries of Gaochang are all going to trade in Shanzhou. The Qinghai Ancient Road on Silk South Road is thriving again, and we also add to the past messengers and merchants. Protection, there are often merchants in the East City of the Qingtang. This money is easy to come quickly. How about it, brother, when you say that Yongzhou is going to build a federation, I think it's too good. It's just in line with my Tubo's trade promotion.

Wang said, "What you said is rich, and some people are rich. The same is true of me in the Song Dynasty. If Yongzhou wants to build and develop commerce, it is to make some people rich first, but officials are different. They are the public servants of the people. Only when the people get rich first can they have the conditions to support honest officials."

"Yes, yes, yes, third brother, you are so right." Aligu nodded all the time,

He Libo took these two arms and got up and said, "One of you is a prince and the other is a prince of Tubo. When we discuss political affairs, I can only listen to it. Second brother, since what you are talking about is so lively, why don't you wait for a few more years and wait until your second uncle gets more than two silver? "."

Ali Gu hurriedly said, "Hey, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I thought my father-in-law was too little or afraid that his daughter would marry far away and didn't want to."

"Ha ha, it's less. If I marry a daughter-in-law in the future, I will definitely give more than this." He Li Bo squeezed his eyes at the king,

Wang raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "You can count how much. You come and go. Is it possible that you can take your land in Daliao as a betrothal gift?"

He Liyu is not willing to show weakness: "The third brother bullied me as a grass-deer. If I take Liao as a betrothal gift, will you still add 50% of the Song land to give my daughter as a dowry?"

The back of the king's spine lit up. Thinking of the last fate of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang really didn't dare to joke about this matter. Aligu interrupted and said, "Just joke about it. I dare not say that."

He Li Bo asked, "Why are we just kidding?"

Ali Gu said, "You have no land, and you are not the emperor. Of course, it's a joke."

"Are you?" He Li Bo, next to the king, pointed to Ali's bones and asked in unison,

Ali Gu replied thoughtfully, "Who knows?"

He Li Bo laughed. When Ali Gu was a joke, Wang pang paid more attention to it. Suddenly, he thought of one thing, and he whispered: "In six years of Yuanfeng, Dong Yan died, and Ali Gu became the Lord of the Qing Tang Dynasty."

Hearing Wang's words, He Libo and Ali's bones both stared at Wang's side with wide eyes. Wang's side was also shocked. Did Ali's bones usurp the throne? He stared at Ali's bones,

Ali Gu asked, "You said that Zanpu (the name of the King of Tubo) died in the sixth year of Yuanfeng. Brother, do you have a fever? It's just the first year of Xining. Why did the Yuanfeng year come out again? When is the sixth year of Yuanfeng?"

Wang said without thinking, "Fifteen years later."

Ali Gu suddenly looked sad: "Third brother, you mean that my godfather can only live for another 15 years."
