"Xiao Qinhu, you haven't given me a gift yet. You're not so poor, are you?"

Qin Hu knew that Yang Shou would definitely find trouble, so he was waiting for this moment.

Qin Hu stood up from his seat slowly and drank a glass of wine. He probably drank a little too much and his body was still a little swaying. He was holding a wooden barrel in his hand, which was covered with a piece of bright red satin.

No one knew what was in the barrel, so everyone was speculating.

"This is my gift to the emperor." Qin Hu strode to the bottom of the steps and put the barrel on the ground: "I hope the emperor likes it."

Qin Hu's behavior can be said to be very presumptuous. All the princes and ministers just now were walking on thin ice, but he was the only one who was lazy and out of shape.

Many local officials below did not recognize Qin Hu at all, and they all commented that this person's behavior was too undisciplined, as if he was at home.

"Don't talk nonsense. This person is the Champion Hou Qin Hu, the emperor's first favorite. He holds a high position. Don't get into trouble." Someone warned.

Those who were talking quickly shut up.

"What is this?" Yang Shou touched his chin and stared at the barrel with interest: "You won't give me a barrel of gold, will you?"

Qin Hu chuckled: "How could a humble minister give such a tacky gift to the emperor? Besides, our Yu Dynasty has conquered the world and is rich all over the world. The most important thing for you, emperor, is gold."

This flattery made Yang Shou feel comfortable: "What on earth is that?"

Qin Hu licked his lips: "Your Majesty, today is New Year's Eve. Your Majesty and the Queen are both happy, so Wei Chen boldly made a request. Wei Chen wanted to ask the Queen to unveil the lottery in person and give me a great fortune.

As the new year begins, I wonder if the emperor and the empress can agree?"

"I am also a little curious." Xiao Meiniang smiled gracefully: "Little tiger, you have always been weird, you are not going to play tricks on me again this time."

"You wouldn't put a dog in the barrel to scare me, would you?"

Qin Hu smiled bitterly: "Even if I am too brave, I would not dare to do anything to offend the Queen. The Queen will have a surprise later."

"It's interesting." Yang Shou stood up and said, "Okay, today is the New Year's Day. I congratulate the Queen and all the officials. The little tiger is very ingenious. Let me see what kind of tricks you are playing. Queen, what do you think?"

"You are very strange, and I am also very curious." Empress Xiao walked down the steps slowly, and said to Qin Hu with a smile: "If you make me happy for nothing, be careful that the emperor will punish you later."

"Wei Chen can guarantee that after the empress and the emperor see Wei Chen's gift, not only will they not punish me, but they will also reward Wei Chen."

"This makes me more and more curious." Empress Xiao slowly approached the barrel and listened with her ears. It probably wasn't a living thing, so she felt relieved.

She took a whisk from Meng Qi's hand, turned it over, and used the handle to pick out the piece of silk.

The curiosity of the people below had already been aroused, and they all stared eagerly. Some brave officials even stood up and raised their toes.

"Hoo!" After being called out for a long time, Queen Xiao finally revealed the answer. After the silk flew away, everyone was stunned.

I saw that there were no delicacies under the wooden barrel, but only a very ugly-looking plant fruit, a large barrel full.

Yang Shou was also shocked: "This, this, what is this?"

"This is, this is ginger!" Empress Xiao often cooked and played in the kitchen, so she knew this thing, but she was confused all of a sudden. What did Qin Hu mean?

"Bold Qin Hu dares to play tricks on the emperor, the empress, and the imperial guards, please hurry up and take them down." Yu Shiji shouted sharply.

"Yu Shiji, shut up, you don't have the right to arrest me yet!" Qin Hu said disdainfully: "Save your prestige for others, old man."

"you--"

This shocked everyone present even more. They must know that Yu Shiji was currently recognized as the most powerful official in the imperial court after Yu Wenshu's death. Anyone who messed with him would die.

Although the champion Hou Qinhu was also favored, he didn't expect that he would be able to compete with Yu Shiji at this point?

"Yu Shiji, don't speak yet." Yang Shou said calmly.

"Little tiger, what do you mean by this? I heard that a few copper coins can buy a pound of this thing." Xiao Meiniang kept winking at Qin Hu, thinking to herself, what's wrong with him?

With so many people unable to stand down for the emperor, what should we do?

"Your Majesty, the Queen, it's not about how much something is worth, but about its meaning. Especially the Emperor and your Majesty, they already own the world. In your eyes, all wealth is vulgar, like dung, not worth mentioning, not to mention the two.

Gong is definitely not someone who is greedy for money. So——"

Yang Shou liked it most when others praised him for his noble character, and now he felt a little happy again, but this alone was not enough to let Qin Hu escape.

"So what's up?"

"So what I offer to His Majesty the Emperor is auspiciousness!"

"Why can't I see how auspicious this is?" Yang Shou stared at the barrel strangely.

Yu Wenhuaji said with a sinister smile: "Yeah, I didn't notice it either."

"Yu Wenji, who do you think you are? You dare to be on an equal footing with the emperor. What do you think of yourself? What you just said is clearly telling everyone that you here have the same right to boss me around as the emperor.

Yes or no?" Qin Hu accused with a smile.

"Yu Wenji, don't you see that it's important? I haven't finished speaking, and you interrupt. Is this the courtesy of a minister? Someone, please remove his chair for me and let him stand.

eat."

Yu Wenhuaji still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yu Shiji's eyes.

And Yu Shiji said: "Your Majesty, Master Yuwen does have something wrong, but the champion came here to play a prank and play with the two saints. It is really abominable. I feel that this move is related to the strict authority of the emperor and must not be tolerated. It should be

Immediately take the champion to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and interrogate him carefully."

"Are you suffering from Alzheimer's disease? Have you forgotten to take your medicine when you went out?"

Qin Hu scolded: "Didn't I say that this is auspiciousness? You should wait until I explain it clearly to the emperor before you come out to frame and retaliate, not now."

"Okay, don't spoil the fun, Yu Shiji will sit down first." Yang Shou was still waiting for Qin Hu to reveal the answer, so he had no time to care about their struggle: "Little tiger, tell me quickly, what kind of auspiciousness is this? You're right.

I will reward you, but if you say something bad, I will also punish you."

"Unify the country!" Qin Hu knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for unifying the country for thousands of generations!"
