Chapter 1060: Making Up Stories
A table of wine and food was ready, Belus even toasted a few glasses, put down the wine bottle, and didn't care about the jade plates on the table, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Xia, but what excuses have you come up with?" ”
Wang Xuance also looked at Xia Hongsheng with a pretended puzzlement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Xia Hongsheng put down his wine glass and said: "The earth-shattering thunder is a secret of the Tang Dynasty, if you rashly ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely shirk it, saying that it is just a rumor, it must be true, it must be those people who are afraid of the divine power of the Tang Army, so they will say it." Therefore, if you want to get the earth-shaking thunder from Datang, the first one must first let Your Majesty admit that Datang has this thing. ”
Wang Xuance and Belus nodded and continued to listen to Xia Hongsheng.
"The so-called empty words are unfounded, if it is just His Royal Highness the Prince who goes to ask for it, no matter what His Royal Highness the Prince says, His Majesty only has to keep a rumor, it is just a rumor, and Datang really has nothing to do, so no one can do anything about it." Xia Hongsheng continued: "So if you want to prevent Your Majesty from denying it, the only way to do it is to show the real thing!" ”
"Take out the real thing?!" Wang Xuance pretended to be stunned and asked, "What does Young Master Xia mean, just take the Heaven-Shaking Thunder and ask Your Majesty?!" ”
"Yes, exactly!" Xia Hongsheng nodded and said: "If His Royal Highness the Prince directly took the real thing of the earth-shaking thunder and went to ask His Majesty for permission to buy this thing from Datang, how could His Majesty not say that he didn't know what it was?" ”
"If Your Majesty really insists that you have never seen that thing, what if Datang has no such thing?" Wang Xuance asked rhetorically.
"Not really." Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is not a scoundrel, if you really take the earth-shaking thunder in front of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty still denies it, then it is not Your Majesty's personality." ”
Wang Xuance nodded, and asked again: "I'm afraid, but it's not easy." The earth-shaking thunder is a secret of the Tang Dynasty, if His Royal Highness the prince takes the earth-shaking thunder to His Majesty, His Majesty asks, what should His Royal Highness the prince say? Your Majesty will think that His Royal Highness the Prince has stolen the secrets of the Tang Dynasty, how will the Tang Dynasty and Persia get along again in the future? Or maybe His Majesty thinks that the ministers of the DPRK and China have leaked secrets, and after a thorough investigation, I am afraid that there will be no place for you and me in Datang. ”
"How can you let the two of you have no place because of Xiao Wang's affairs! If Xiao Wang harms the two, don't do it! Belus hurriedly waved his hand and said solemnly, and then said: "In the future, no matter when or for what reason, if there is really a Tang Dynasty that can't accommodate the two, Persia will always be the home of the two!" The Persian royal family will not be extinguished, and the two will always be the most honored guests of Persia! ”
"Let's not talk about that." Xia Hongsheng waved his hand, smiled, interrupted the Persian prince's statement, and said, "Since I said this, I must have made up the reason for His Royal Highness the prince." Let His Highness take out this earth-shattering thunder seems more reasonable. ”
"Brother Xia already has a reason?!" Belus was very excited, and immediately said excitedly: "Please also ask Brother Xia to teach me!" ”
"There are two major large-scale use of earth-shaking thunder in Datang. One time was in several battles against the Wa Kingdom. Another time, it was the time of the conquest of Liaodong. Especially in the war against Liaodong, the Tang Dynasty used earth-shaking thunder on a large scale in every battle. In such a large-scale battle, it must be reasonable to miss a few pieces and throw them on the battlefield! Xia Hongsheng said slowly.
Although Wang Xuance already knew Xia Hongsheng's plan, it was also a plan discussed by the two. At this time, he had to pretend to be puzzled, and turned his head to look at Belus.
"What does Brother Xia mean that when Xiao Wang faces His Majesty, he will say that this earth-shattering thunder in his hand comes from the battlefield in Liaodong?" Belus understood what Xia Hongsheng meant.
Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
"Then how did this earth-shattering thunder cross thousands of miles from the battlefield in Liaodong to the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince?" Wang Xuance asked.
"Merchant!" Xia Hongsheng said: "Only the footprints of merchants can go as far as Liaodong and Persia. His Royal Highness said that this earth-shattering thunder was offered by a merchant, and the merchant obtained a total of three pieces from Liaodong at a high price. The merchant only listened to the person who sold it and said that its power is incomparable, this newspaper bought it with curiosity, encountered sand thieves on the road, and in desperation lit one with the mentality of giving it a try, and as a result, a large number of sand thieves were killed at once, and the other sand thieves were frightened to think that the sky had fallen to punish them, and they hurriedly fled into the wilderness, only to know that the power was really incomparable. After returning to Persia, he was dedicated to the royal family, hoping to be rewarded for his merits. The royal family didn't believe it, and showed one, shocking the government and the opposition. Your Royal Highness the Prince, you left the last one, carried it all the way, and came to Datang, begging to get this artifact. ”
Xia Hongsheng said, and said to the two: "No matter how His Majesty threatens, His Royal Highness the Prince only needs to insist on this statement, so that His Royal Highness can come up with a heaven-shaking thunder, and there will be a reason." ”
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe ......"
"You don't need your majesty's full trust." Xia Hongsheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Just make Your Majesty suspicious." It will not be angry that His Highness took out a heaven-shattering thunder and leaked secrets. His Majesty himself knows that in such a large-scale battle, it is completely normal for a few earth-shattering thunders to be left on the battlefield. It is also normal to be picked up by the locals and sold to merchants. The merchant brought it back to Persia, and there was nothing wrong with that. Your Majesty can't find fault, so you can't refute it. I can't refute it, so His Highness took out the sky-shaking thunder, and that's it. Next, how to ask for the Heaven-Shaking Thunder is something that you need to consider, Your Highness. ”
After listening to Xia Hongsheng, Wang Xuance and Belus were silent for a while.
Then, I heard Wang Xuance say: "This reason is not impossible. I told Your Majesty this, as long as you bite it to death, even if Your Majesty is suspicious, you can't point out any flaws, and you have nothing to say. His Royal Highness the Prince took out the matter of earth-shattering thunder, and he could only vaguely pass it. As for how to ask for the earth-shaking thunder, alas, the so-called no profit does not get up early, in my opinion, it is still one profit for one profit. ”
"Yes, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." Xia Hongsheng said: "If there are fish to catch, the fisherman will put the net down." It's profitable, and Your Majesty may let go! It depends on the benefits that Persia brings to Datang, whether it can make His Majesty tempted, let Datang be tempted, and exchange it for earth-shaking thunder. ”
"Since the earth-shaking thunder is the most confidential thing in the Tang Dynasty, then Xiao Wang is also willing to exchange it for the most valuable wealth in Persia!" Belus said, "Persia has horses, and some have gold!" ”
Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "Your Highness, business is not like this. Let's not talk about Your Majesty, don't talk about Datang, let's take it below. It's like someone wants to ask for a favor, and the price is willing to give a million dollars to the next million, do you think you will agree? ”
