Chapter 39 This seat is a pity
After three rounds of drinks, the noise in the hall became louder and louder.
Although everyone was very restrained, they couldn't help but toast each other, which made Liu Zhao a little dazed for a moment.
Wasn’t it the same around you when you were in your prime?
I do miss the days when I was surrounded by bright lights, wine, women and beautiful women.
He looked at Sima Bei and King Song.
Both of them sat in silence, as if this party had nothing to do with them.
Liu Fu, on the other hand, was sitting on a stool. People kept coming to toast him, but he only took a sip and looked much more energetic than before.
Minister Wei Huan suddenly staggered forward, holding a wine glass.
Liu Yan was in high spirits when he frowned.
Wei Huan staggered to Liu Yan's seat and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I am drunk!"
"Then drink less. It's not good to be drunk!"
Liu Yan smiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wei Huan stood up after he finished speaking, suddenly holding onto Liu Yan's desk, and muttered, "What a pity for this seat, what a pity for this seat!"
"What did you say?" Liu Yan's expression changed slightly.
Liu Zhi's face turned pale instantly!
This is too courageous!
"Your Majesty, this seat is a pity!"
Wei Huan actually repeated it again.
"You're drunk, go back to your seat!"
Liu Yan's expression changed and he shouted sternly.
Liu Zhao also knew what Wei Huan meant. He was pretending to be crazy under the influence of alcohol!
Although it was said that anyone who discussed changing the crown prince would be beheaded, it seemed that Wei Huan forgot about it when he was drunk!
Liu Zhao couldn't help but look at the minister seriously.
Isn't this just courting death?
The King of Zhenbei had an army of 200,000 men under his command. Although Liu Yan was somewhat afraid, he fought to the end.
You are just a minister. How powerful do you have to challenge the emperor?
Wei Huan had no choice but to stagger back deliberately.
As soon as he sat down, Liu Yan started talking.
Of course I have to explain it, otherwise I won’t be able to shut up these people!
"My lords, please return to your seats! I have something to say!"
Liu Yan stood up and glanced towards the hall.
The minister who was toasting returned to his seat in an instant.
Some people were so nervous and drunk that they lost their balance and fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed.
Liu Zhao wanted to laugh when he saw this. From ancient times to the present, the effects of drinking have been almost the same!
"I've said before that there is only one Crown Prince in this dynasty. I don't want to kill anyone, so you'd better be careful with your words and actions!"
Liu Yan said this and glanced at Wei Huan coldly.
Wei Huan lowered his head, feeling a little regretful.
"Just now, Duke Beiyang spoke nonsense. I will not argue with you today. My dear ministers, take this as a warning! Do not force me to kill!"
After Liu Yan finished speaking, it was so quiet down there that you could hear a pin drop.
In fact, just when Wei Huan went up, everyone was toasting each other and the hall was extremely noisy, so no one really heard what Wei Huan said!
But judging from Liu Yan's angry tone, Wei Huan was ignorant of the current situation and must have talked about the prince again!
Isn't that seeking death?
Liu Fu sighed softly.
Wei Huan has a straightforward temper and often cannot control his temper after drinking.
Liu Yan took a deep breath and continued.
"A few months ago, General Tang Dan of the Left Guard met a monk named Shili, who had printed a sutra called the Sutra of the Right Wisdom Dharma. This sutra has the power to open the mind and awaken the intellect. The prince has been reciting it for several months and has benefited greatly from it!"
Liu Yan spoke in a serious tone. The ministers below had already known about this, so they held their breath and did not believe it in their hearts.
But who dares to deny what Liu Yan said?
Even if we knew it was fake and was paving the way for Liu Zhao to succeed to the throne, there was nothing we could do!
At least there is no way at the moment, but once Liu Yan dies, it will be hard to say!
Liu Fu closed his eyes, as if he heard nothing.
Of course he had heard the news that Liu Zhao was possessed by Buddha, but he didn't believe it.
How could you not know this truth when you are over ninety years old?
Liu Yan had no choice but to do this!
"Later, the Buddha gave me a teaching. The prince is now much wiser than before. If anyone makes false accusations again, please do not blame me for being ruthless!"
Everyone listened attentively.
In the past, I could make jokes about the prince behind his back.
Now, if this gets to Liu Yan’s ears, losing his job is a small matter, but losing his life is a big matter.
"Lord Beiyang, today is Tianzhong Festival. How about you give the Crown Prince a question?"
Liu Yan suddenly raised a big problem.
It seems that they won't believe Liu Zhao unless he is allowed to show his abilities.
Wei Huan was petrified instantly!
This is terrible!
He immediately stepped out of the line, knelt down, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment. Please grant me the death penalty!"
"I told you I won't argue with you today, so just go ahead and ask the questions! Don't make me angry again!"
Liu Yan’s meaning was very clear. You started the incident, so it’s up to you to solve it!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wei Huan knew that he was in big trouble this time!
The emperor was obviously putting himself in trouble because he was too talkative.
If the questions I set are too difficult and the prince can't answer them, wouldn't I be asking for death?
If the questions are too stupid, that would also be courting death. Wouldn't it be obvious that he was looking down on the prince?
I shouldn't have come up and said that much nonsense!
All the ministers' eyes were focused on Wei Huan.
Wei Huan's face was already red, and it became even redder now.
Even though I am well-educated, I cannot solve this difficult problem in one go!
Countless opinions flew through my mind, and countless regrets surged in my heart.
The emperor is so evil!
No matter how the questions are asked, even if you don't die, you will lose your dignity in your later years!
"Wei Qing, please ask the questions! Do you need me to remind you?"
Liu Yan's face was gloomy. These ministers didn't even know who they were after drinking a little.
But he still had confidence in Liu Zhao.
I may not be able to do anything that is too difficult, but I can still handle simple ones!
Wei Huan gritted his teeth and thought, the worst that could happen is death, what else could he do?
He kowtowed, stood up and said, "I will obey the Holy Order!"
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
Liu Jun rushed out with a dark face and knelt down.
I know in my heart that Liu Zhao will definitely not be able to answer it!
It's complete bullshit.
"Father-in-law, what do you want to say?"
Liu Yan frowned.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness has drunk a lot of wine today, it's time to rest!"
"Didn't you hear what I said? Go back!"
Liu Yan was angry, and his father-in-law was nothing to him.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Jun had never seen Liu Yan so angry before, so of course he didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly retreated.
Liu Fu was also wondering in his heart, could it be that Liu Yan and Wei Huan had agreed on this beforehand?
This sudden question from Wei Huan didn't seem like a show!
I can’t understand it myself!
Liu Zhao was not panicking. At this moment, he just had to perform better than before and make these ministers feel that his wisdom was indeed growing.
As for Wei Huan asking the question, he doesn't even have any political awareness, so how can he sit here and drink?
"Today is Tianzhong Festival. By the grace of His Majesty, I am able to drink here. So, please write a poem on the theme of wine, Your Highness!"
This question is neither easy nor difficult.
As long as Liu Zhao can write it down, he will pass!
The reason why Wei Huan asked this question was that he remembered that he had been a teacher to Liu Zhao for a few days before.
At that time, he was taught two lines of poetry he wrote himself: Let’s drink the wine in the cup and sing after we are drunk.
At that time, it was Liu Zhao who was taught to recite it.
Of course, it took a lot of time.
I wish he could remember.
And he even recited it to the emperor.
"Okay, not bad!"
Liu Yan nodded. Wei Huan was pretty good at guessing the emperor's intentions!
I just can't drink alcohol, because if I drink I can't control my temper.
All the officials were laughing in their hearts at this moment, but they couldn't say it out loud!
It sounds simple, and it is certainly not difficult for a normal person to write it.
But for a prince like him, it would be good enough if he could just say a few complete sentences, let alone write poems.
Wei Huan is in big trouble now!
The emperor said that he didn't care, but he would definitely settle the score later!
