Chapter 1161: Make a basin of water for Lord Xiao to take a picture
Xuanyuan Jin gritted his teeth and ordered: "Zhao Wu, go get a basin of water, put it in front of Prince Xiao, and let Prince Xiao take a look at it!"
Zhao Wu: "...Yes!"
Prince Xiao: "..."
Pretend not to hear.
"Hahaha……"
King Chengen laughed loudly.
Yang Wu and some of the civil servants and generals present also looked like they couldn't help laughing.
No matter what, the Third Prince’s words are really damaging!
Princess Linghua quietly gave the sugar baby a thumbs up and said in a low voice: "You are such an awesome brother!"
Tangbao nodded heavily and looked at Xuanyuan Jin with eyes filled with starlight.
"This prince is so shameless!" Xia Siya curled her lips and said, "You are so old, and you want to marry sister Fuya?! Is he worthy?!"
"Not worthy!" Princess Linghua said immediately: "The toad wants to eat swan meat!"
"That's right..." Xia Siya nodded repeatedly.
Mrs. Xia on the side had a look of worry on her face.
For the sake of the country and the country, the emperor would marry off his own daughter, let alone Tang Bao, an outsider.
If the emperor really agreed in order to appease Northern Qi...
Mrs. Xia couldn't imagine the consequences.
After all, the emperor's life is difficult.
Even the third prince cannot disobey the emperor's orders.
In this room, King Cheng'en laughed and strode to Prince Xiao. The two brothers said in a similar way: "Hahaha...Prince Xiao, I didn't say that you can be the father of Princess Fude at your age."
, why do you open your mouth so wide?"
Prince Xiao: "..."
Heartbreaking!
No matter how thick-skinned you are, you are still a bit hot.
A burly man behind Prince Xiao took a step forward and said loudly with anger on his face: "What King Cheng'en said is wrong! Our prince has a noble status and controls hundreds of thousands of troops in Northern Qi. What kind of woman do you want?"
"
"Don't tell me that Princess Ford is as old as she is. If she is younger, what's the harm?"
"In our Northern Qi Dynasty, women can get married at the age of seven or eight!"
"Now that our prince wants to marry Princess Fu, it is Princess Fu's blessing!"
The big man said it to the end with pride on his face!
Xuanyuan Jin sneered coldly and said: "Blessing? According to His Highness, it is probably Prince Xiao's wishful thinking!"
"You..." The big man's eyes widened with anger.
"Back off!" Prince Xiao shouted coldly.
Hearing this, the big man stepped back unwillingly, huffing and puffing.
Prince Xiao looked at Xuanyuan Jin, his expression returned to normal.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Infatuation is true, but delusion is not necessarily true!"
After saying that, he waved his hand.
"Bring up the betrothal gift that this king has brought!"
There was a hint of madness in his tone.
As soon as Prince Xiao finished speaking, the sound of wheels came, and carriages were driven over one after another.
Immediately, the guards behind him stepped forward and carried over the large boxes placed on the carriage.
The first few boxes contained various fur materials.
Such as whole tiger skins, red fox skins, rare sable skins, etc.
In the few boxes at the back are various rare spices and medicinal materials.
Such as, ginseng as thick as a child's arm, fine musk, and deer antlers.
Another example is the thousand-year-old snow lotus in a jade box, the thousand-year-old purple jade fruit in a wooden box...
In the last two boxes, there is a box of rare gems and a box of antique calligraphy and paintings.
I have to say that as the boxes were opened one by one, even Emperor Tianxi was a little moved.
Especially the items in the last two boxes are from the Central Plains. They were presented as tribute to the Northern Qi royal family during several declining dynasties.
These things have been passed down to this day, and their value has been immeasurable.
If we could just return to Dayan, it would be of extraordinary significance.
Those present were all the top figures in Dayan, so they could naturally see the value of these things.
Although he didn't show any fuss, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart that King Xiao of Northern Qi acted like this because he was probably very interested in marrying Princess Fudou.
Moreover, I brought all the betrothal gifts here, and it seemed that it had been planned in advance.
Prince Xiao picked up a calligraphy and painting from the box and said in a casual tone: "It is said that this picture of Ten Thousand Buddhas was made by a Buddhist and Taoist master thousands of years ago. I am not proficient in pen and ink, so I don't know whether it is true or false..."
Before Prince Xiao finished speaking, all the officials present changed their expressions.
You must know that the Picture of Ten Thousand Buddhas is the most precious treasure of Buddhism.
It was originally the Tianlong Temple that had been passed down for thousands of years, and was painted by the first abbot himself.
However, after the dynasties changed, this picture disappeared.
Unexpectedly, it spread to Northern Qi.
"Could it really be the Picture of Ten Thousand Buddhas?" someone exclaimed.
The others also had faces full of surprise and uncertainty, staring intensely at the painting in Prince Xiao's hand.
Emperor Tianxi also showed a shocked expression.
Prince Xiao bowed and said to Emperor Tianxi: "Xiao is not sure whether this painting is real or not. I wonder if I can ask the emperor to identify it?"
Of course!
Because the Queen Mother worshiped Buddha, Emperor Tianxi was also quite proficient in Buddhism.
Furthermore, I read a description of the Picture of Ten Thousand Buddhas from a Buddhist manuscript.
Now after hearing what Prince Xiao said, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Eunuch Liu quickly took the picture of Ten Thousand Buddhas with his own hands and carefully unfolded it in front of Emperor Tianxi.
An ancient and unparalleled picture, carrying the vicissitudes of time, the glory of history seems to break through the clouds and see the sun again.
The picture of Ten Thousand Buddhas is about ten feet long and two feet wide. The paper has already turned yellow after thousands of years of washing.
However, the Buddha statues painted on it are still lifelike.
Some are solemn, some are full of compassion, some are angry, some are happy, some are compassionate, some are sad...and so on.
Emperor Tianxi could not describe the shock in his heart.
With just one glance, Emperor Tianxi concluded that this was definitely an authentic work.
"Come and take a look!" Emperor Tianxi tried his best to suppress his surging heart and called to his ministers.
The ministers could no longer restrain themselves any longer, and immediately surrounded him after hearing the words.
Immediately, there were waves of exclamations.
King Cheng'en did not go over, but frowned, walked to Tangbao, and whispered: "Little miracle doctor, this matter is a bit difficult to handle. This Prince Xiao of Northern Qi has spent a lot of money!
What if the emperor... trades you for the Picture of Ten Thousand Buddhas?"
King Chengen felt a little unsure.
He remembered Tang Bao's kindness and kept talking to the Su family brothers and sisters.
I just didn't expect that Prince Xiao would be bleeding so much that he would even take out a treasure like the Picture of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
If the great monks in Tianlong Temple knew about this, they would definitely come running to worship the Ten Thousand Buddhas.
Speaking of which, this Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture should be the most precious thing in Tianlong Temple besides Buddha bone relics.
A sharp light flashed in Xuanyuan Jin's black eyes,
"Then destroy the painting." Xuanyuan Jin said, but his tone was very calm.
