Li Xiaogong's eyes shone brightly, he wiped his hands hard on the corners of his clothes, and said with some disbelief: "You...you said, this is for me?"
Du He said solemnly: "A hero is matched with a beauty, and a good man is matched with a sword. My lord, you will be famous all your life. You will have the breeze on your sleeves. You will enter the court three times. You will be in all directions, all over the world, six, six, six, seven up and eight down. You will have eight magical powers. Ninety-nine will return to one."
, very powerful... This luminous cup can only be owned by people like you. If it were anyone else, even if he put the knife on my neck, I would definitely smash the luminous cup without hesitation."
Li Xiaogong said excitedly: "Don't smash it, don't smash it. If you smash such a good thing, wouldn't it be a waste of nature? Can you touch it for me?"
Li Xiaogong's heartbeat actually accelerated a little.
Then he carefully picked up the cup from the box Du He was carrying, looked at it carefully, and inspected it carefully.
"Look, it's so white!"
"Wow, it's so big!"
"Oops, I can't do it anymore... ah!"
Holding the luminous cup, Li Xiaogong actually fainted, fearing that he would accidentally break it.
Then he quickly put it into the box.
It took a long time for Li Xiaogong to recover from the shock.
"Do you really want to give this to me?" he asked in disbelief.
This thing can be called a priceless treasure.
Du He actually wants to give it to himself?
Li Xiaogong even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
Du He emphasized: "Your Majesty, who do you think I am, Du He? If I, Du He, spill it out, I will throw it away. There is no reason to take it back. Now I declare that this luminous cup belongs to the prince!"
With that said, Du He pushed the box directly into Li Xiaogong's hands.
Li Xiaogong asked: "What conditions do you have?"
"There are no conditions! It's just for the prince!" Du He repeated.
Li Xiaogong was ecstatic, but he was not dazzled by the joy.
He secretly thought in his heart, it is unbelievable that Du He would hand over such a precious treasure to others... I am afraid there is a big mystery in this, huh, Du He, Du He, do you think this king doesn't know your plan? You are the one
If you want to use this luminous cup to bribe me, you deliberately don't tell me the conditions. After I accept it, you will definitely ask me to go to His Majesty to intercede for you. You really have a good plan...
Li Xiaogong is also an old fox who has been practicing for many years. How can he be easily fooled?
He immediately said sternly: "Du He, this is not okay. I am not getting rewarded for my efforts. How can I accept your things for nothing... Just give me a price!"
Du He shook his head and said generously: "Your Majesty, this thing is a treasure to you, but to me, it is worthless. I have plenty... so give it to Your Majesty."
How many?
Li Xiaogong only thought that Du He was bragging.
He thought for a while and said: "In that case, come here, prepare one hundred thousand yuan for Du He and send it to Huxian Dream Group as soon as possible."
Du He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I really give you the luminous cup, and I don't charge you a penny. I've already told you, this luminous cup is worthless, one hundred thousand dollars is too much!"
Li Xiaogong waved his hand: "Okay, I know your thoughts, but it's not easy for you, so let's leave it like this."
Du He started to speak but stopped.
When Li Xiaogong saw this, he was even more sure of his guess.
Until he left, Du He didn't say he had anything to ask Li Xiaogong.
This made Li Xiaogong breath a sigh of relief.
Du He was sent away.
The steward asked curiously: "My lord, Prince Consort Du clearly said that he would give this luminous cup to your lord, why did your lord give him one hundred thousand coins?"
Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "What do you know? Du He brought such an important treasure to visit me this time. He made it clear that he wanted to bribe me and let me go to His Majesty to plead for him. I don't want to help him.
, also reluctant to part with this luminous cup, the best way is to give him one hundred thousand guan. To be fair, this luminous cup is worth more than one million guan, but now, it is me who has taken a big advantage! Put this poem
, copy it and pass it on. Although I cannot let Du He enter the court as an official, I can still make him famous!"
"yes!"
There were many literati and poets in the Hejian Palace, many of whom were celebrities in Chang'an City.
With Li Xiaogong's arrangement, these people worked hard to spread Du He's name.
Therefore, in less than half a day, the entire city of Chang'an knew that Du Hexin had written a poem.
This poem is very easy to understand and catchy to read. Even children of several years old can recite it after reading it several times.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys.
"He is worthy of being the first poet of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Consort Du is truly a genius!"
“No bird is surprised when people come!”
"This is a poem, but also like a riddle!"
For a poem to spread so widely, it is naturally due to Du He's reputation, and also because it was deliberately spread by the Hejian Prince's Palace.
In later generations, there was a term called hype.
The driving force behind the scenes is Li Xiaogong.
And that night, Li Xiaogong fell asleep holding the luminous cup.
…
Early the next morning, before going to court, Li Xiaogong dressed up properly and asked someone to bring the luminous cup for him.
If you don’t return wealth and honor to your hometown, it’s like walking at night in brocade clothes!
Not showing off the luminous cup after getting it is like eating a century-old ginseng but not finding a beautiful lady.
Li Xiaogong decided to bring his luminous cup and show it off to everyone in the morning.
Soon, he set off.
Entered the palace and came to Tai Chi Hall.
Li Xiaogong felt that today the ministers were all neatly dressed, their clothes were clean and tidy, and they were all happy and energetic, as if there was some big happy event.
Li Xiaogong tidied up his clothes and said to himself, "In a moment, I will show you what a truly priceless treasure is."
His luminous cup is in his sleeve.
Touch it from time to time.
So slippery!
Ice cold!
This is what it feels like!
very nice!
I felt extremely satisfied inside.
The court was about to disperse.
Li Xiaogong thought to himself, how could he not show off now?
He stood up immediately.
Seeing this, Li Er asked curiously: "King Hejian, do you have anything important to report?"
Li Xiaogong said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I... I have..."
What Li Xiaogong originally wanted to say was that I got a treasure, but unfortunately I don’t know whether it’s authentic or fake, and I don’t know how much it’s worth. I would like to ask all of you to help you appreciate it.
It is said to be a tasting, but it is actually the beginning of showing off.
However, as he spoke, he suddenly saw Wei Zheng take out a luminous cup from his sleeve, then take out a gourd from behind, open the lid of the gourd, pour the water into the luminous cup, and then take a sip.
, and then looked satisfied.
In an instant, Li Xiaogong was stunned.
what happened?
Why does Wei Zheng also have a luminous cup?
At this time, Wei Zheng was heard to make a satisfied sound: "Oh, this luminous cup is indeed a priceless treasure. This ordinary water becomes sweet and delicious after being put in it. It's really extraordinary!"
