Although Liu Rong's performance last time made many people look at him, the birthday party gifts were not the same as others, but a lot of real money.

How much can a prince without a fiefdom give out?

Therefore, what everyone is most looking forward to is the performance of the envoys from King Liang, Liu Wu and Wu and the Wu and Chu.

The former must have opened everyone's horizons, but the latter represents the attitude of the lords of Wu and Chu.

With an ancient bell ringing thirty-three times in a row, it means that the etiquette to celebrate the emperor's birthday is about to end.

It's about the birthday party.

Many people have not dripped water since the morning, and they are already hungry and are touched by their backs.

All of us are looking forward to the next birthday party.

Subsequently, many ministers and princes moved to Qingliang Hall although the emperor.

There are already prepared tables and fine wines and delicacies here.

This is the first time since Queen Mother Dou has walked out of Changle Palace since her last family dinner.

Liu Qi led everyone to salute Empress Dowager Dou before each of them took the seat.

King Liang Liu Wu was supposed to sit in the same place with a group of vassal kings from other places, but Empress Dowager Dou called him and added a table nearby to show his closeness.

The old lady is famous for loving her young son, and no one else cares about it.

Only the envoys from Wu and Chu looked at each other secretly, and a strange smile appeared on their faces.

Maybe he was so hungry that he was harsh, after Emperor Liu Qi announced the start of his birthday party.

There was a chewing sound from the entire hall.

Until the wine was 70 years old and the dishes were three flavors, a group of people in the hall put down their chopsticks.

The long-awaited gift is about to begin.

According to the conventional rules, the order of gifts to the emperor's birthday is from far to near.

First, there were all the officials of the court, then the princes and princes from all over the country, and finally it was the princes and princesses' turn.

The gifts from all the officials actually look quite boring.

Because we have already discussed it, we are just a few things coming and going.

Many people watched it dozed off.

Fortunately, these people are also quite tactful, just put down the gift and returned to their seats.

Next, it was the turn of princes and kings everywhere.

Judging from age and seniority, the King of Wu among the countries has the highest seniority and the most respected status.

Therefore, the envoy of Wu State was the first to come out and someone brought his birthday gift.

This is a bamboo basket covered with black cloth, the size of a person's arms.

Judging from the faint shaking of the bamboo basket, it should be a living thing.

Many people at the scene were curious, was the birthday gift given by the King of Wu a rare bird or beast?

If this is the case, then is there any other meaning hidden behind Wu's sudden show of goodwill to the emperor?

The inner historian Chao Cuo sat upright in the seat and showed a contemplative look.

The envoy of Wu State did not ask everyone to wait for too long. He walked to the bamboo basket and said loudly: "My king wishes His Majesty a permanent youth and a long and prosperous life."

As he said that, he raised his hand and uncovered the black cloth on the bamboo basket.

A sound of gasping in the air suddenly sounded at the scene.

If you only listen to the birthday speech of the envoy of the King of Wu, there will definitely be no problem.

And what the envoy offered was indeed considered a rare bird - a turtle.

A turtle that is bigger than a washbasin and I don’t know how many years have lived.

Although there is also a saying that turtle will live long at this time, giving such a birthday gift at the emperor's birthday banquet is undoubtedly a sign of extreme disrespect.

Thinking deeper, this may not be understood as the provocative act of the King of Wu.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to the protagonist tonight. This matter was extraordinary. No one dared to interrupt before Emperor Jing Liu Qi made a conclusion.

"Okay, I have accepted the birthday ceremony of the King of Wu."

Liu Qi's face turned slightly red. I don't know if it was because of drinking or because of the gift.

He took a long breath and forced himself to calm down. It was not the time to completely turn against the King of Wu.

The envoy of Wu returned to the front desk arrogantly and showed a proud look to the envoy of Chu next to him.

It seemed like saying, so what about the imperial court? It’s because there is nothing we can do with them Wu Fan.

The envoy of Chu State was inspired, and the arrogance on his face became even more obvious.

The congratulatory gifts given by the subsequent vassal kings were all just in line, not expensive, and others could not find fault with them.

At first glance, these people are the legendary neutral party and fence faction, and they obviously have an attitude of not offending.

Next, it will be the turn of the Chu State envoy.

Although Chu State is also a great country, King Liu Wu of Chu was about the same age as Liu Rong, and he has always been closely behind Wu State. The relationship between the two countries is very close.

Judging from the performance of the envoy of the Wu Kingdom, this person is probably not at ease with any kindness.

Liu Rong frowned slightly. After all, Liu Qi was his father. He was bullied by an outsider and his son couldn't stand it anymore.

Thinking of this, he attracted a little eunuch and said a few words in the other party's ear.

Then, the little eunuch walked to the inner historian Chao Cuo, pointed to Liu Rong's direction and said softly.

Looking at the suspicious gaze that Chao Cuo cast, Liu Rong just nodded and stopped looking over there.

He had already been recruited, but it depends on whether Chao Cuo is willing to take action.

There is not much time left for Chao Cuo.

The Chu envoy walked to the middle of the hall with a proud face and bowed to the emperor. His behavior was frivolous and quite disrespectful.

"My king wishes..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by an official from the court.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have important matters to report!"

When Liu Rong saw the crown and hat on the man's head, he smiled.

I knew that Chao Cuo had taken action anyway, and this person was the Chief Censor in the Censor's Office.

And no one in the court or the country knew that the entire Censorate's Office was full of Chao Cuo's people.

“Accepted.”

Emperor Jing Liu Qi showed a little displeasure on his face. This is his birthday party, and it is inappropriate to pay him a reply here.

"I have received a secret report that when King Liu Wu of Chu was mourning for Empress Dowager Bo, he committed the crime of traitor and evil, and according to the law, he should be eliminated from his country."

The words of the Censor Zhongcheng revealed a strong murderous aura, which made the entire hall quiet instantly.

The Chu envoy's face immediately changed drastically, and cold sweat continued to slide down his forehead.

He knew about this, but he didn't understand why this incident spread to Chang'an so quickly.

"Your Majesty, you're unfair!"

After weighing the left and right, the Chu envoy decided to deny it.

He still had a thought of a fool in his heart. If the court just heard about it... when he leaves Chang'an, it will have nothing to do with him.

"Censor Chen, do you take what you said seriously?"

Liu Qi said with a gloomy face.

But only those who are familiar with him can see the expression of excitement and joy in those quiet eyes.

He quietly looked at Chao Cuo, who was sitting upright in the seat and was indifferent.

He said intimately: Wealth and honor are in danger.

He raised his neck and said loudly: "I would like to use Xiang Gong's head as a guarantee. Every word he said is true!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people at the scene looked at the Chu envoy and felt disgust.

The Han family has always ruled the world with filial piety.

Unfilial people are despised even by peddlers and barbarians.

As the lord of a country, Liu Wu actually committed a crime of evil and rape during the mourning period. This is a great unfilial piety.

According to the Han law, the feudal state was abolished.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know."

Like the others present, after hearing Chen F's words, the Chu envoy took it for granted that the other party had solid evidence.
