The Invincible Sixth Prince

The next day, there was a court meeting.

Emperor Wen once again attended court and accepted an audience with the Xiqu delegation.

"The Xuanxiqu delegation is here to meet you!"

As Mu Shun shouted, the palace guards repeated Mu Shun's words again.

Soon, the Xiqu delegation led by Su Zan walked in slowly.

Su Zan entered the hall and looked around, but there was no sign of Yun Zheng.

Su Zan was secretly confused.

Yunzheng What does this mean?

Do you want to avoid yourself?

No reason!

They just had a drink together yesterday!

Is it necessary for Yun Zheng to avoid him?

Since there was no need for this, why didn't Yun Zheng appear in the court of Daqian?

What's wrong with him?

Or was it intentional?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Su Zan's mind.

He suffered many losses at the hands of Yun Zheng.

Now that Yun Zheng holds the actual power of Daqian, he needs to speculate on Yun Zheng's every move.

After a moment, Su Zan forced himself to suppress the thoughts in his mind and led the Xiqu delegation to kneel down.

"Xiqu Grand Chancellor Su Zan Xie Xiqu envoys, kowtow to His Majesty."

Su Zan knelt and kowtowed respectfully, and the members of the delegation followed suit.

"Be flat!"

Emperor Wen chuckled and raised his hand slightly, but his eyes fell on the box held by the person behind Su Zan.

This box is not big.

I don’t know what’s inside.

Now that Daqian is strong, the gifts presented by Xiqu should not be bad, right?

For some reason, Emperor Wen thought of what he had talked about with Yun Zheng yesterday.

This rebellious son always comes up with bad ideas.

Even he found the matter of the Crown Prince far-fetched.

If you’re going to find a reason, find a better one!

At present, there is nothing wrong with the etiquette of the Xiqu delegation.

Well, if this gift is bad, you can use it to make something good out of it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Su Zan led the delegation to stand up, took the box from the person behind him, bowed and held it up: "Su Zan presents gifts to His Majesty on behalf of my king, and wishes His Majesty a long life!"

Emperor Wen chuckled, "Prince Dalun is thoughtful."

Mushun immediately walked down the steps, took the box from Suzan and opened it.

After making sure that there was no problem inside or outside the box, Mu Shun presented the box to Emperor Wen.

Looking at the things in the box, Emperor Wen couldn't help but frown.

Just a round bead the size of an egg and a scroll of scriptures?

Seeing that Emperor Wen seemed displeased, Suzan quickly explained: "This is the elephant marrow bead that King Qinpu personally prayed for from the temple. This scripture was also copied by the king himself to bless His Majesty's health!"

Emperor Wen did not say anything, but just picked up the scripture and unfolded it.

After taking a casual glance, Emperor Wen put down the scripture and picked up the elephant marrow bead.

There is nothing special about elephant marrow beads. They are a bit like beads made of mutton-fat white jade, but not as heavy.

Emperor Wen held it in his hand and felt nothing.

"Do you know what is the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Emperor Wen casually put down the elephant marrow bead and looked at Su Zan with cold eyes.

Su Zan's heart skipped a beat, and he bowed quickly: "Su Zan would never dare to deceive His Majesty!"

Emperor Wen frowned slightly and motioned Mu Shun to come closer to his ear.

After Emperor Wen whispered a few words in Mu Shun's ear, Mu Shun hurriedly trotted away.

Looking at their actions, Su Zan secretly felt that something was wrong.

Emperor Wen is looking for trouble!

Tang Shu and Tuo Huan exchanged a silent glance and nodded at the same time.

Not long after, Mu Shun came trotting to Emperor Wen with a memorial in his hand.

Emperor Wen unfolded the memorial and compared the handwriting on the memorial with that on the scriptures. He could see at a glance that the two handwritings were completely different.

"Are you sure this scripture was copied by Qinpu himself?"

Emperor Wen looked up at Su Zan, with a hint of anger in his tone.

Got it!

Su Zan had already guessed that the memorial in Emperor Wen's hand was the one that Qin Pu sent to the Daqian Imperial City.

He was just comparing handwriting!

This scripture was definitely not copied by Qinpu himself.

The sutra is so long, and Qinpu is busy dealing with various government affairs all day long, so how could he have the time to copy the sutra!

This is a bit troublesome!

Suzan lowered his brows and thought for a moment, then replied respectfully: "This sutra was indeed copied by King Chinpu himself."

"Do you think I'm easy to deceive?"

Emperor Wen winked at Mu Shun and said, "Take him down and let them compare him carefully!"

"Yes!"

Mu Shun took the order and hurriedly brought the scriptures and memorials to Su Zan, unfolding them for Su Zan to compare.

Tang Shu and Tuo Huan also came forward.

Just one glance and you can tell that the handwriting is completely different.

"How dare you, Su Zan, to deceive the king?"

Tang Shu was furious.

Su Zan cursed inwardly, and immediately bowed to Emperor Wen to explain: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This scripture was indeed copied by King Qinpu himself. As for this memorial, it was written by the king's attendant, so the handwriting of the two is completely different!"

This is the only way to explain it now.

You can't admit that this scripture was not copied by Qinpu himself, right?

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Emperor Wen became even angrier.

This is exactly the reason.

Whether or not it was written by Chinpu himself is not important.

Importantly, the handwriting of the two is different.

Isn't this the reason?

Tang Shu glared at Su Zan and shouted, "Xiqu is a vassal of our dynasty, yet you are so perfunctory in your audience and dare to bully the emperor in public? Are you bullying us, Daqian, because we have no one!"

Tuohuan echoed, angrily saying: "Xiqu's move clearly shows that he does not take His Majesty and Daqian seriously!"

With Tang Shu and Tuohuan taking the lead, all the ministers angrily denounced the Xiqu delegation in the court.

"Your Majesty has appointed a crown prince. As a vassal state, Xiqu should have sent a memorial to congratulate the crown prince, but it has been slow to do so! Now it is deceiving the emperor again. How despicable!"

"When our dynasty was fighting fiercely with Beihuan in Shuobei, Xiqu wanted to take advantage of the situation. So many years have passed, but Xiqu still has the evil intention!"

"Your Majesty, Xiqu is only submissive to Daqian on the surface, but in reality, it has evil ambitions..."

The ministers were at full fire, even digging up old accounts from many years ago.

Su Zan was secretly anxious and quickly explained: "Su Zan would never dare to deceive His Majesty. This scripture was really copied by King Qinpu himself. Su Zan saw it with his own eyes. It can't be false!"

At this moment, Su Zan cursed in his heart.

These bastards!

It's obvious that they are deliberately looking for trouble. This is an excuse to send troops to Xiqu!

"At this point, you still dare to deceive me?"

Xiao Wanchou angrily rebuked Su Zan and bowed to Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty, Xiqu is rude. I beg you to attack it!"

"I second the proposal!"

Xue Che expressed his opinion immediately.

"I second the proposal!"

"I also second the proposal..."

"If we don't attack the emperor, where is the prestige of our Great Qian?"

"If Xiqu is not severely punished, other vassal states will follow suit!"

"Please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to His Majesty the Sixth Prince to lead the troops to attack Xiqu!"

In an instant, all the ministers in the court were outraged and requested Emperor Wen to attack Xiqu.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Su Zan immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "This is all a misunderstanding! I, Xiqu, would never dare to offend the majesty of Daqian..."

"Cough cough..."

Emperor Wen put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice, then slowly stood up with the help of Mu Shun: "I am not feeling well, so I will take a break today and discuss it tomorrow, cough cough..."
