Chapter 46: Looking for trouble again(2/2)
"Ah! Who do you think you are? You have beautiful thoughts. If you don't take care of yourself, how can you care about my children?"
Hu Shichang smiled frivolously.
"It turns out you are still a princess. Forget it, a mere princess is not worthy of me, young master."
"you……"
Zhu An reached out and grabbed his furious father.
"Father, calm down. Don't fall into his tricks."
Yang Ke also offered words of comfort.
"King Lu, please be safe. I will handle this matter."
After saying that, he turned to look at Hu Shichang.
"What if I don't gamble?"
Hu Shichang spread his hands.
"Then I want to see what kind of return gift Da Wei can give us, which is worthy of our congratulatory gifts."
Hu Shichang's words are true. The return gifts given to Shu and Later Qin were far more valuable than the tribute gifts from Shu and Later Qin. As for Nan Chu, even if the gifts given back were of equal value to those sent by Nan Chu, they were at least
It is worth millions of dollars. Now that the Wei treasury is empty, it cannot afford so much money. What's more, in order to show the magnanimity of a great country, the gifts given back generally exceed the value of the gifts given.
Yang Ke squinted his eyes.
"What if I don't give it?"
Hu Shichang sneered.
"It doesn't matter! However, your Majesty's reputation will be great in the world..."
Facing Hu Shichang's pressing steps, Yang Ke frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."
"His Majesty!"
"Father!"
The princes and relatives in the palace stood up and spoke out one after another, preparing to dissuade him.
Yang Ke raised his hand to stop everyone from talking.
"I still have hundreds of civil and military officials, and I believe they will not let me down. Chang Chu, continue."
"Wait a minute."
Wang Weiren walked out.
"We, the Kingdom of Shu, should also take part in such interesting things. What do you think, Your Highness Prince Fu?"
Just as Meng Changxun was about to speak, he felt a chill on his back and the hairs all over his body stood up. Following the feeling, he looked over and saw King Lu staring at him with an angry look in his eyes. Meng Changxun shivered and retracted his head.
"We, the Kingdom of Shu, will not be involved in this matter. Everything you do has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Shu."
The second half of the sentence was addressed to Wang Weiren.
Wang Weiren sneered, dissatisfied.
"Okay, then my Wang family will offer 500,000 guan and make the same bet as Brother Hu. If you lose 500,000 guan, it belongs to you Da Wei. If you win, I don't want any territory. This princess will give it to you."
I’ll be fine.”
He said and pointed at Zhu'an.
There is no way, Princess Zhu'an was really stunning today and stole the limelight from all the female family members.
"Brother Li, don't you want to participate?"
Li Kuang stood proudly and did not accept Wang Weiren's words. Instead, he said: "This matter is empty talk. Why don't you establish a written evidence?"
"Okay! Thank you Brother Li for reminding me."
Wang Weiren clapped his hands and applauded.
Yang Ke choked out a good word through his teeth.
"Chang Chu, establish written evidence."
Chang Chu sighed secretly and went aside to write the receipt.
The atmosphere in the Zichen Palace was a bit tense. The Wei clan and the queens and concubines in the harem all glared at the Three Kingdoms envoys.
Not long after, Chang Cun came forward holding a few pieces of paper.
Yang Ke looked at it, sealed it with a few "bang bang" sounds, and threw down the desk. The little eunuch himself sent it to Hu Shichang and Wang Weiren.
After both of them had signed and everything was done, Li Kuang turned to Li Zikang and said, "This is similar to what happened at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet a few days ago."
His voice was not loud, as if Li Kuang deliberately lowered his voice, but it was still heard clearly by the people in the palace.
"Brother Li, please don't talk nonsense."
Wang Weiren was a little frightened and scolded him.
Yang Ke's expression softened a bit and he ordered: "Continue!"
Chang Chu had a look of embarrassment on his face and could only bow in apprehension.
