"Bold, my Highness is the majestic Crown Prince of Wu. How can I allow you and other petty officials to humiliate you like this?"
Now even if Liu Xian could bear it, Yang Sheng couldn't bear it anymore. Although he wouldn't die because of the so-called king humiliating his ministers, these two curses were still indispensable.
"You also know that you are the crown prince of the Wu Kingdom. See clearly, this is the Kingdom of Dai!"
The little official said and pointed to the big plaque on the door. Yang Sheng suddenly became silent.
Liu Xian originally wanted to have an attack, but after thinking about it, he endured it again and again.
After all, at this time, they are asking for something from Liu Deng. If he loses his temper and leaves now, wouldn't these 1 million taels of silver be a bargain for that bitch Liu Deng?
Seeing that the sun was approaching high in the sky and it was almost noon, someone finally came and invited Liu Xian and the others inside.
"I'm really sorry. Things have been so busy recently. There is so much money that I can't even count it. I don't have anywhere to put it. I'm sorry for your forgiveness!"
As soon as Liu Xian and Yang Sheng entered the door and the ceremony was completed, Liu Deng enthusiastically pulled them aside and asked them to sit on the cushions next to them.
Liu Xian was also dizzy from being exposed to the sun outside, so he sat down first in a daze. This was originally the norm. In the current Han Dynasty, even meeting the emperor had to be rewarded with a cushion. What's more, Liu Xian Deng is now just a small vassal king.
But when they sat down, they immediately realized that something was wrong. Originally, Liu Deng should have sat at the head of them on this occasion. Because of his status as a prince, this was in line with the current etiquette.
But now, not only was the boy sitting across from them, but why did the thing he was sitting on look so weird?
"I twisted my waist when I was riding a horse recently, so I had no choice but to specially order my servants to build such a thing. Please feel free to do as you like. I was afraid that you might not be used to it, so I didn't prepare it for you!"
Yang Sheng was so embarrassed. The two of them were kneeling on the ground, but Liu Deng was sitting on a chair. In front of Liu Deng, they seemed to be kneeling on the ground, not to mention how awkward they looked.
Du Ziteng stood nearby, the corners of his mouth twitching constantly. He had chosen the position of the chair specially.
If someone moves this short table away, Liu Xian and Yang Sheng will kneel down to apologize...
"I don't know, why are you here this time?"
Although the two are relatives, and Liu Deng is Liu Xian's nephew, he obviously does not want to admit this identity now, so he placed the meeting place here.
This is the meeting hall of Daiguo. In this place, no matter how close you are, only your official rank matters!
In any case, they were here to ask for help. Liu Xian could only hold his nose and admit it at this time. One million taels of silver was not a small amount. If converted into copper coins, it would be more than 1 million taels. Even if Wu Guofujia In the world, if you want to earn back one million taels of silver, you still need to work hard selling salt for several months.
"Your Majesty, I came here today to ask for something. My father sent me some money from Guangling. I was originally planning to go to Chang'an to purchase some ordnance in the recent period. But unfortunately, I was on my behalf a few days ago. The territory of the country has been detained by the king’s people, so I ask the king for your convenience!”
When he said the last sentence, Liu Xian suppressed the humiliation in his heart before finishing.
He never thought that one day he would need to beg this despicable man!
"Is there such a thing? Prince, don't worry, I will send someone to investigate right away, but I don't know where it was seized?"
"Reporting to His Highness the King, our convoy was stopped at Jinsuoguan. The leading general and his servants really didn't dare to ask more questions..."
Seeing Liu Deng asking, Yang Sheng hurriedly said.
"This is not easy to handle. However, we should send someone to find out what's going on. If this really happens, return their things to them as soon as possible. We won't even have enough money to count. Where is the time to help others keep money?"
As Liu Deng spoke, he said to the attendant next to him.
"promise!"
This mother-in-law just got a good deal and acted like a good girl. Liu Xian's big teeth were almost broken by her. These are all her own money!
"Thank you, Your Majesty. It's just that we are eager to use this batch of money because we have to go to Chang'an to purchase ordnance. How about letting the Lord Sheep next to me go with the King's people?"
One thing does not bother the two masters. At this time, Mr. Liu said to Liu Deng in a consultative tone with the mentality of getting the money early and finishing the matter early. It is better to do less than to do more.
"This is no problem. As long as there are no big problems, just sign the paperwork and you can take the things away immediately!"
Liu Xian didn't expect that Liu Deng would agree so happily. Could it be that he misunderstood him? Is he still a gentleman who ignores past grudges?
But how could Liu Xian know that Liu Deng was digging a hole for him, and it was a big hole...
"Thank you, Your Majesty. If that's the case, let's take our leave first!"
Seeing that the matter was done, Liu Xian didn't want to stay here for a minute longer.
"If that's the case, then I won't send His Highness the Crown Prince, and I'll ask Master Yang to go to Jinsuoguan with my people to ask!"
Of course, it was impossible for Du Ziteng to do this in person. Wasn't he the one who took the lead?
Now of course he, the mastermind, has to stay far away!
"Colonel Chen, I wonder how much further we need to travel before we can reach Jinsuoguan?"
The last time he came here, Yang Sheng was sitting in a carriage, drinking and having fun along the way, and was accompanied by beautiful women. Now at this time, Liu Deng actually sent a school captain to take him on horseback.
This made Yang Sheng, a man who was accustomed to riding in horse-drawn carriages, really complain. What was even more painful was that this guy actually chose to drive under the bright sun.
"Looking at it like this, there should be still two hundred miles left. Master Sheep, we have to speed up a little bit. Aren't you eager to use the money?"
This guy Chen Shaojie was personally selected by Du Ziteng. This guy was just like Du Ziteng. Both of them were full of bad ideas. As a whole, they came up with one idea after another.
All of them are martial arts practitioners. Compared with them, a weak scholar like Yang Sheng is not on the same level at all.
Driving under the sun is nothing to people like them. At least, traveling more than 100 miles a day is quite easy.
But for Yang Sheng, this is not a bad thing. He has just ridden for less than fifty miles, and he already feels that the skin on his inner thighs has been worn...
