Your Majesty, You Can't

Chapter 50 - Birthday Gift

Spring in March.

There are colorful and hanging flowers outside the gates of the main street, and the musk orchid mist sets off the greenery, and everything presents a new look.

The peacocks in the outskirts spread out the emerald screen, auspicious for thousands of years, and the warm colors reflect the hibiscus, showing the spring of all valleys.

The March spring breeze brought warmth into Tusu.

This month of early spring is a month with special significance.Because the beginning of this month is the birthday of the most honorable emperor in the country.

Zhao Yin's eleventh birthday turned into his twelfth birthday.

The little emperor's birthday came with the first planting of seeds in spring. While the common people celebrated the emperor's birthday among the people, the spring rain as thin as a cow's hair began to fall obliquely.

A group of thriving.

When the emperor's birthday came, He Lanzhi, as the father-in-law, naturally had to go to the storeroom in the mansion to personally choose a suitable birthday gift for the little emperor.

"I haven't seen Mr. Xiang come to the warehouse for a long time. How is Mr. Xiang?" The servant in charge of the gold key in the warehouse greeted him obsequiously, saying "Mr. My father looks short, my father looks short", but the voice was more sinister than the eunuch's, which made He Lanzhi's whole body goosebumps.

"Very well, very well..."

"The servant also feels that Xiangye's face is more ruddy than before," the Guan Shao flattered, "Is Xiangye here today to look at calligraphy and painting? Or antiques? Or gold bricks? Or jewelry? Porcelain? Ritual vessels? Land deeds ? Shop deed? Jade power? Furniture?..."

He blah blah blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.And is there something weird mixed in? ! !

He Lanzhi only saw the spittle flying across the spoon and gave a long list of words, and in the end he couldn't help but want to test his lung capacity, why he could talk for so long in one breath.

"What does Xiangye want to see?"

"Let me read it all, I don't need that Yushi's room..."

Guan Shao sang, "Master Xiang, please follow me."

He Lanzhi nodded slightly, and then watched as the key manager took out a large bunch of golden keys, and opened a room in a row of warehouses for the Prime Minister to slowly choose the congratulatory gifts from the Holy Majesty.

Then the prime minister's dog eyes were almost blinded by his own warehouse.

In each room, all kinds of treasures that He Lanzhi has seen and never seen are all piled up into mountains. At first glance, it is dazzling, and the number of treasures that can be called terrifying is almost like a tidal flood that is about to overflow the warehouse.

He Lan looked over from one warehouse to another, almost having a heart attack.He knew that Prime Minister Yuan had embezzled a lot of money, but he didn't expect to embezzle so much.If this is a house raid, it may take a long time to count the stolen goods...

Clutching his little heart that was about to stop functioning, He Lanzhi finally visited the last warehouse.

When he stepped into it for the first time, He Lanzhi discovered that this warehouse was unusual.Compared with other spacious and bright warehouses, the structure of this room is narrow and slender, so deep and secluded that you can't see the bottom at a glance. The five-color colored glass on both sides of the wall supports the priceless night pearl, pouring pearl-like soft light all over the place.

Rather than saying it is a warehouse, it is more appropriate to say that this is a secret passage.

He Lanzhi could even hear the faint sound of the wind from his walking echoing in the corridor, and he couldn't help but wonder what ulterior treasure the Prime Minister Yuan had hidden in it.

Driven by curiosity, he was brought to a wooden table with a black box.

He Lanzhi tapped the surface of the box lightly with his knuckles. The texture was abnormally hard and the sound was dull. It was impossible to easily guess what was hidden in the box.

"What material is this made of?"

Guan Shao showed a surprised expression, "Did the Prime Minister forget that you specially told me to make it with obsidian?"

He Lanzhi was a little embarrassed, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "How could I have forgotten, I was just testing whether you are in a hurry, open it quickly."

"Follow your lord's orders."

The keykeeper took out a dark key that was kept separately, and slowly opened the treasure chest.

A black gold object engraved with intricate runes lay quietly on a bright red cushion.

He Lanzhi reached out and picked up the black gold object. Although he didn't know what it was, he could feel the inexplicable heaviness and power emanating from the rune.There is no doubt that this thing in his hand is an extremely important treasure.

Seeing He Lanzhi staring at the treasure solemnly, Guan Shao couldn't help asking, "Master, don't you want to return the tiger amulet to the emperor as a birthday present?"

When He Lanzhi heard that, he almost shook his hand and dropped the object in his hand, "Tiger Talisman?!"

The legendary Tiger Talisman that can dispatch troops is the thing he holds in his hand? !

As a civil servant, the original prime minister was able to ignore the general and hold the military power in charge of the tiger talisman?

Return him. Mom. Treat the Tiger Talisman as a collectible! ! ?

The black-gold tiger talisman in his hand started to burn for no reason, and He Lanzhi felt his palm feel hot, so he quickly put the tiger talisman back into the box.

This was the first time he really realized how much power the prime minister held.

A prime minister who holds the military power in his hands, pours power into the government and the public, and may usurp the throne and rebel at any time is undoubtedly the most feared existence by the emperor.

Although the little emperor is young and ignorant now, if he grows up, then his untimely bomb will be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the little emperor, and he will find a way to eradicate it no matter what.

The confrontation between the prime minister with military power and the real dragon emperor is bound to fight to the death before giving up.

Chaos can be foreseen.

Once such civil strife occurs, the people who will suffer in the end must be the people.

And even if he, He Lanzhi, survived and usurped the throne in the end, he would still be an emperor whose reputation was unfair and unpopular, and there must be no good ending.

In order to avoid such unnecessary bloodshed, it is undoubtedly the best way to return the Tiger Talisman.

"It must be sent back." He Lanzhi said categorically, "The Tiger Talisman must be returned to the emperor as a birthday gift."

In order to save his life and prove that he is a loyal minister, military power must be handed over.It will be too late when the little emperor comes to his door for a drink to release his military power like Zhao Kuangyin did.

He Lanzhi's painstaking efforts were finally not in vain. After the gift-giver rushed to the palace to present the tiger amulet at a speed of eight hundred miles, Zhao Yin's mood was said to be better than ever.

"I didn't expect you to send back the tiger talisman. This is really the best birthday gift I've ever received." Zhao Yin stroked the tiger talisman and said to himself, "It's not impossible to spare your life..."
