Chapter 194: The Emperor Rewards!
Nangong Avenue: "Ao Yu Gongzi waited for his parents. ”
The emperor paused, then smiled: "Yes, filial piety comes first." Then we will wait for him here, wait for him. ”
"By the way, where did you find Ao Yu?" the Emperor asked.
Nangong Avenue: "In his house, in Jiangzhou's home." ”
The emperor said: "Is it the Marquis Mansion of the Angry Waves that has been sealed?"
Nangong Avenue: "That's right. ”
This is really strange, how could he appear at Jiangzhou's house?
Nangong Avenue: "We sent thousands of people to search all over the place, and suddenly the second child said, is he at home? We all thought it was impossible, but we still went to take a look, and found that he was really lying at home and asleep, so we quickly brought him." ”
......................................................
The crane in the clouds waits for his parents to return to the Dali Temple prison.
Despite the last mercy, the emperor has not yet pardoned Ao Xin and his wife, which needs to be said after meeting with Ao Yu.
However, the cells of Dali Temple Prison were finally changed, allowing Ao Xin and his wife to live together, and this prison is more like a house, with tables, dishes and chopsticks, and beds, which can barely live.
The previous cell, which was a real cell, did not give special treatment because of Ao Xin's identity.
When Yun Zhonghe saw his parents again, the second elder's hair was already half white.
The previous father, Ao Xin, was such a hero, heroic, although he was only in his fifties, his hair was jet black, and he looked like he was in his forties at most.
Not to mention her mother Liu, although she is in her forties, she is still beautiful, as if she is about thirty years old, and her charm is moving, but now her hair is half white.
In just a few months, it seems to be more than ten years old, which shows how tormented the recent days have been.
Yunzhonghe suddenly couldn't help but feel sad, and after his mother hugged him and cried for a while, she left Ao Yu and Ao Xin.
"Fame and fortune are all fleeting! Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is a joke in the end. Ao Xin sneered.
Although the wall has ears, Ao Xin still said this, which shows how disheartened he is, and he doesn't care about being heard by the emperor at all.
"This Marquis of Fury, I don't plan to come back. Ao Xin held the hand of the crane in the cloud and said: "Fatty, after becoming a father, he will be a powerless father, and the only one who can protect your mother and son is probably this martial arts." From now on, state affairs have nothing to do with me, I only live for you, mother and son. ”
In his words, Ao Xin had already made up his mind.
No matter what happens to the Great Zhou Empire in the future, he will not care about it, and he will definitely not go out of the mountain again. No matter how kind the emperor is, he will not pay attention to it.
The crane in the cloud clenched his father's hand, and everything was silent!
......................................................
An hour later, the crane in the clouds entered the palace to meet Emperor Wanyun.
"Hahahaha, our great hero is back. The Emperor laughed and said, "Let me take a good look at what kind of young man he is, who has put down the rebellion in the south alone." ”
After entering the study, the crane in the clouds bowed down in a proper manner.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he has really seen Emperor Wanyun, and he has been through the screen before, and he is not even qualified to see his true face.
Now seeing the face of Emperor Wanyun, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Because the emperor is really good-looking, and he is very blessed with his appearance.
The eyes are narrow and long, the nose is like a hanging gall, the mouth is painted with Zhu, and the two ears are especially long.
But does his appearance resemble Uncle Liu? Yes, but he looks benevolent, but he is much more handsome.
But the two eyebrows were very sharp, which made the benevolence on his face diluted by domineering, and it was really like two knives that wanted to cut people.
So this also made Emperor Wanyun look very close when he was laughing.
But when frowning, it is very terrifying, and it makes people frightened.
In short, this emperor has a good appearance with both grace and power, which is very suitable for being the face of the emperor, and he is a full 1.8 meters tall.
"Ao Yu, do you remember what that assassin looked like?" Nangong asked wrongly.
"Yes. The crane in the cloud said: "She is a beautiful and unparalleled woman, lonely and arrogant, and kills like a mustard." ”
Nangong mistakenly said: "Can you describe it in more detail? So that our painter can paint a portrait according to your description, and then make a world want." ”
"No, I've already drawn it. The crane in the clouds said, and then he took out a picture scroll from his bosom and spread it out.
Nangong, the Governor of the Black Ice Terrace, came up by mistake and took a look, and a stunning beauty on the paper seemed to be about to leap onto the paper.
This woman's figure is really graceful, this temperament is really empty-eyed, but she is masked.
When the woman assassinated Yun Zhonghe, she was not masked, but Yun Zhonghe painted her masked, and there was no proof of her death anyway, and everyone died on the spot.
And even if she said it herself, it didn't matter if she didn't mask when she assassinated Ao Yu that day.
Can't I pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?
The emperor said: "Just use this portrait to print tens of thousands of copies, and you want it all over the world." ”
"Yes. Nangong said wrongly.
Then, Nangong said wrongly: "Ao Yu, what happened that day?"
The crane in the cloud informed the details of the assassination, and of course hid the fact that someone came to the rescue.
Nangong said wrongly: "In other words, she doesn't know that the person she wants to kill is you, and she doesn't know your identity?"
Yun Zhonghe said: "Yes, it's just that because I can't tie the chicken, he asked me to close my eyes, saying that she will do it quickly and will not be painful." I just closed my eyes, and then I passed out, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't think about it...... When he woke up again, he appeared at Jiangzhou's house, and it turned out to be Nangong Da by his side. ”
Nangong said wrongly: "What do you think made her not kill you?"
Yun Zhonghe said: "I really don't know this, I originally thought she was my reader, and she liked my books very much, so she didn't kill me." But she never asked my name, and she probably didn't know that I was the author of the Book of Stones. ”
Nangong mistakenly said: "Your Majesty, I'm done asking." ”
The emperor waved his hand, and Nangong Co immediately retreated.
Suddenly, in the study, there were only two people left, the crane in the clouds and the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is all that has happened to me in the South. Yun Zhonghe handed over a booklet.
After the emperor opened it, he looked at it carefully.
"This Yuan Tianxie, is it really so magical?"
Yun Zhonghe said: "His tricks are simply amazing, and there are almost no flaws at all." ”
Then Yun Zhonghe said: "In fact, the reason why this rebellion was quelled was completely the work of heaven and earth, the grass people did not dare to be greedy for the work of heaven, and it was completely the volcanic eruption that destroyed the backbone of hundreds of thousands of rebels such as Yuan Tianxie. ”
The emperor said: "That is also the work of your induction due to the situation, and the merit is indispensable." ”
Then, the emperor said, "By the way, how do you judge that there will be a volcanic eruption?"
Yun Zhonghe said: "Because of frequent earthquakes, cracks have appeared on the ground, and the most important thing is that the water temperature of the lake north of Dari Mountain has increased a lot, and the intelligence of these black ice platforms has been described." ”
The emperor said, "Based on this information, it can be deduced that there will be a volcanic eruption?"
The crane in the clouds said: "Yes, Your Majesty. ”
The Emperor said, "How do you know this?"
The crane in the clouds said: "There is a description in the ancient solitary book "Mountains and Seas". ”
The emperor said, "There is such a strange book?"
The crane in the clouds said: "Yes, Your Majesty. ”
The emperor said, "Then the shirt you flew down from the top of the mountain?"
Yun Zhonghe said: "The minister also brought it, and I also checked it for the Black Ice Platform, and the principle is very simple, it is made according to the flight principle of bats." ”
With that, the crane in the clouds placed the tattered flying wingsuit in front of the emperor.
The emperor was amazed and said, "Then this dress ......"
The crane in the clouds said: "It is also obtained from the ancient book "Mountains and Seas". ”
The emperor said, "Then can this kind of clothing be imitated on a large scale, and can it be in the army?"
Yun Zhonghe said: "It can be, but it is very difficult to control, and you can only jump down from a high place." ”
The emperor thought for a while and said, "Destroy this garment, and how to make it, if there are any drawings or the like, destroy them all." ”
The crane in the cloud bowed and said, "Yes." ”
The emperor looked at the crane in the clouds and couldn't help but sigh, this Ao Yu was much more obedient than his father.
Ao Xin's stinky temper is extremely self-conscious, he thinks it is the right thing to do, and no one can change his will, including Wan Yun, His Majesty the Emperor.
Why did the emperor let Ao Yu destroy this shirt and not allow it to be leaked?
Because he felt uncontrollable, what if an Assassin wore such a flying wingsuit and flew from a high place to carry out a decapitation operation?
Of course, there are no mountains in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the assassins will not have such an opportunity, but they still have to guard against it.
Therefore, even though the flying wingsuit has a special role in the military, the emperor still feels that it is completely blocked.
"That Ao Qi, with people?" the Emperor asked.
Yun Zhonghe said: "Yes, he took away 60,000 people, and the rest are unwilling, they have already attached Duke Zhou Long and become a garrison again." ”
The emperor said, "Where did this Ao weapon take people?"
The crane in the clouds said: "The primeval forest in the west of the southern border has become a savage again. ”
The Emperor was silent for a moment, and did not say anything about the matter.
"Ao Yu, there is one thing I have to explain to you. The emperor said: "You quelled the rebellion in the south, but the process is too unbelievable, and it involves the power of heaven and earth, and it is easy to be used by people with evil intentions, so this matter cannot be made public." I know your merits in my heart, and the Emperor will know it too. ”
The crane in the clouds said: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Of course, he was well aware that his credit could never be made public.
This will give the people of the world a signal that there is no Ao clan in the south.
Before Ao Xin ruled the southern border, all the natives bowed down to their ears.
Now that there is a rebellion in the south, the son of Ao Xin went to a trip and quelled the rebellion with his own strength and three inches of tongue.
Is that going to make Ao Clan Yongzhen south?
The emperor said, "So I let Zhou Lin go to the southern realm." ”
The second prince of Zhou Lone, he went to the south to contain Fu Yantu and replace Duke Zhou Long as the protector of the southern capital?
The crane in the clouds bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
The emperor said: "But don't worry, in my heart, this credit is yours, when you left Beijing, I said that I would give you a reward, a big reward." ”
Then, the emperor said: "Passing the decree, in the matter of rebellion in the south, although Ao Xin has neglected his duties, he remembers his loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and has repeatedly made meritorious deeds, and pardons his crimes." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the eunuchs outside rushed to Dali Temple to spread the emperor's will.
The crane in the cloud exhaled a long breath and finally rescued his parents and family.
The emperor said: "I will restore the fame of the new science and technology solution yuan of Ao Yu Canglang Province." ”
The crane in the cloud bowed down and said, "Student thank Lord Longen." ”
The emperor said: "Of course, these are nothing, they are all deserved, and they are not enough to recognize your merits." You have done such a great deed, and you need a reward, a great reward, and you say what do you want?"
The crane in the cloud said: "Can you say anything?"
The emperor said: "Of course, you can say anything, but you can only say one, and I may not agree." So you have to think about it in your heart, because you can only have one chance to speak. ”
The crane in the clouds seemed to start thinking,
He knew something about what the emperor wanted him to say, that is, to inherit the Marquis of Fulang.
Ao Xin has just won the knighthood, and he must not be able to recover, but he can let Ao Yu attack the lord in advance, so that Ao Yu will become the Marquis of the Great Zhou Empire as soon as he turns twenty-one.
And the seized Marquis Mansion of the Angry Waves will also be returned to him.
But the crane in the clouds doesn't want this reward, the Marquis of Fury Lang is precious, but if you don't have power, this title is not worth anything.
Otherwise, there would not have been a young marquis in the Great Zhou Empire, but instead he would have become Yan Qiqi's deputy.
The Marquis of Angry Waves is very useful to Ao Ming, in the future, he will be a high school jinshi, and when he becomes a county guard, he will inherit the Marquis of Angry Waves, and no matter what he does, he can get twice the result with half the effort.
And the title of Marquis of Fulang is not enough to become a talisman for today's crane in the clouds, and only one identity can make him soar into the sky.
Princess Xiangxiang's husband.
Of course, the pure identity of the concubine is not precious, although the concubine of the Great Zhou Empire can participate in politics, but the concubine of an ordinary princess is like that.
But Princess Xiangxiang's concubine is completely different, this is the most favored pearl of the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Emperor Taishang.
She is also the only link between the emperor and the emperor.
And once he marries Princess Xiangxiang, to some extent, Yunzhonghe will also become one of the spokespersons of the Emperor.
At that time, he could be regarded as truly mastering the weapon of great destruction in the court of the Great Zhou Empire.
Marrying Princess Xiangxiang is much more awesome than the Marquis of Fulang.
The emperor restrained his smile and said slowly, "Ao Yu, what reward do you want?"
The crane in the cloud said: "Can you really say anything?"
The emperor said, "Of course!"
The crane in the cloud said: "The minister wants to marry Princess Xiangxiang." ”
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the emperor's face disappeared cleanly in an instant.
In the entire study, the air seemed to be several degrees cold.
After a long while, the emperor said coldly: "Ao Yu, I'll give you a chance to change your words." ”
The crane in the cloud said: "The minister does not change his words. ”
The emperor said: "Ao Yu, I must tell you that Xiangxiang's vision is very high. The reason why she intercedes for you many times is largely because of your father, who feels that Ao Xin is a loyal minister. When I wanted to kill Yan Qian before, she also tried to find a way to intercede. She is kind and innocent, don't think about the rest. ”
Yun Zhonghe said: "The minister doesn't dare to be delusional, but the minister just admires the kindness and innocence of Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
The emperor's words were not too straightforward, but the meaning was very clear.
Ao Yu, don't think that Princess Xiangxiang will intercede for you, and if you have heard your tunes and read your books, she will favor you.
Not to mention that you look so obsessive, stupid and ugly, the key reputation is not good, who doesn't know your reputation of being killed by 10,000 people?
Those cheap and dirty prostitutes, the prince of Guijie will be disgusted at the first glance, but you can actually sleep, and there are still more than hundreds of them at a time.
So in the eyes of aristocratic women, Ao Yu is not only obsessed with fat and ugly, but also dirty and filthy, which is simply disgusting.
Duan Yingying, the Duke of Wei, would rather bear the name of a widow than actually marry Ao Yu.
In the entire aristocratic circle, no one is willing to marry Ao Yu. At that time, my mother Liu was heartbroken about Ao Yu's marriage, I don't know how many matchmakers I found, I don't know how much money was spent, but none of them succeeded.
The reputation is too stinky, and it's too fat and ugly, and it may be short-lived.
Who would want to marry someone like that?
It is true that Ao Yu is Xie Yuan again, and he wrote "The Story of the Stone", an absolute genius.
However, in the eyes of many aristocratic daughters, only talented and good-looking people are called talents, do you understand?
A handsome and incomparable talent, he wrote a good book, and the aristocratic daughter yearned for it in her heart, and at the same time, she was shy, and she couldn't wait to fly together.
And the ugly genius wrote a good book. When the aristocratic daughter saw it, she would only say, you can eat eggs, why do you want to see the hen that lays eggs?
Basically, any girl is no exception, especially the daughter of the nobleman who is not lacking in glory and wealth.
Ao Yu's reputation is so bad, he has slept with lowly prostitutes all over the world, and if people marry you, won't they be laughed at as sisters with low-level prostitutes? No aristocratic daughter would want to bear such a reputation, let alone a royal princess.
The emperor said: "Ao Yu, Xiangxiang likes your books and your songs, but in terms of mate selection, she is not much different from ordinary girls. ”
This is said more directly, Princess Xiangxiang will not take a fancy to you as an ugly comparison.
Yun Zhonghe said: "I just admired Her Royal Highness the princess, so I made this request, but I didn't have much hope in my heart. ”
The emperor said: "If Xiangxiang didn't take a fancy to you, then you wouldn't get any reward, and you would have wasted this great credit." ”
Yun Zhonghe said: "The minister will never regret it. ”
The Emperor nodded, "Okay, I'll give you a chance." Prepare yourself, and I'll arrange a blind date for you in a few days. ”
....................................
Ao Yu actually proposed to Princess Xiangxiang?!
The news exploded in the capital at once.
Everyone laughed out of their big teeth, shocked their eyeballs, and all the nobles scolded.
People say that toads want to eat swan meat, but you Ao Yu is not even as good as a toad at this time.
Because there are not many people who know that the crane in the clouds has made contributions in the southern realm, so in everyone's mind, Ao Yu and Ao Xin are unlucky.
Ao Xin has been deprived of his official position, deprived of his title, and has been guilty of sin.
Ao Yu, who has no power and no power, what gave you the courage to propose to Princess Xiangxiang?
Although you Ao Yu is in the middle of the Yuan, although you have written two good books, your reputation of 10,000 people will never be washed away.
You have slept with the lowest and lowest prostitute in the world, and such a filthy person still wants to marry a princess.
It's just not an ordinary princess, but Princess Xiangxiang, who is known as the beauty of the Great Zhou Empire, this is the pearl of the palm of the Emperor and the Emperor, and the Queen Mother, the most favored person in the entire Great Zhou, there is no one.
How many princes and nobles want to marry Princess Xiangxiang?
How many foreign princes, the crown prince wants to marry Princess Xiangxiang.
The results all failed, because in terms of blind dates, their talents were far inferior to Princess Xiangxiang, and they were ruthlessly denied.
At first, everyone thought it was just an absurd rumor.
Later, news came from the palace that on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Ao Yu really wanted to go on a blind date with Princess Xiangxiang.
The atmosphere at this time was not as conservative as the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was still relatively enlightened, somewhat similar to the Han and Tang dynasties, so it was not uncommon for princesses to go on blind dates.
And Princess Xiangxiang said early on that she should be half the master of her marriage, and any man must be useful for her to take a fancy to it before she can have room to continue to talk about marriage.
And His Majesty the Emperor doted on her, and he really made her the master.
So over the years, I don't know how many princes and nobles have courted marriage, but they have all been defeated on the blind date, and they have been eliminated without even seeing Princess Xiangxiang across the screen.
The most outstanding young men of the empire almost all failed to court.
So the emperor sometimes smiled bitterly and said, Xiangxiang, what kind of husband do you want, you can't look down on anyone, you are already nineteen years old.
But every time she goes on a blind date, Princess Xiangxiang just doesn't fancy anyone.
So the screen in front of her has not been removed once.
..........................................
Hearing this news, the queen and the queen mother were also directly angry.
Don't look at the Empress Dowager who came to intercede for Ao Xin in person, after hearing that Ao Yu had successfully quelled the rebellion in the south, she was also overjoyed and told the emperor that she must reward Ao Yu well.
But when he heard that Ao Yu actually asked Princess Xiangxiang for marriage, his old man suddenly became furious.
This is her most beloved granddaughter, she is a baby, she must find a man who looks good, talented, has a life experience, and has a character that is unique in ten thousand.
How could Ao Yu be worthy of her fragrance.
He is so ugly, and his reputation is so bad, and his private life is so unbearable.
"Drive Ao Yu away, drive Ao Xin away......"
"It's enough to give the title of Marquis of Nulang to Ao Yu, let him go, and let him go back to Jiangzhou. ”
"It's not okay to go on a blind date, a blind date with him will ruin our Xiangxiang's reputation. ”
The Empress Dowager rushed directly in front of the emperor and trembled.
The emperor hurriedly helped the Queen Mother to sit down and said, "Queen Mother, you have no jokes! People in the world don't know, but I know it in my heart, and the Queen Mother also knows it in my heart, Ao Yu has made great contributions." ”
The Queen Mother said: "Then give him a marquis, give him 10,000 acres of fertile land, and give him an official position." Otherwise, if you give him a marriage and find a noble lady to marry him, how can you let him have the idea of fragrant incense? The courtiers are meritorious, and the royal family wants to be rewarded, but there is no reason for the emperor to sell his daughter. ”
The Queen Mother was born in a noble family, but she was not a talented woman when she was young, and she also liked to dance and play with swords, so in a hurry, her speech was also a little vulgar.
The combination between her and Emperor Tianyan was also because of the political marriage, and the situation in the Great Zhou was very bad that year, and when Emperor Tianyan was the crown prince, he was also in crisis.
The Empress Dowager's family is a feudal town in the western part of the empire, with more than 100,000 troops in her hands, forming a semi-divided situation.
So when Emperor Tianyan married her, it was a last resort.
Of course, after Emperor Tianyan succeeded to the throne, he used the war with the Great Liang Kingdom to kill all the soldiers and horses of the Xiao Guogong family, which can be regarded as a complete solution to the Xiao clan.
Although he did not abolish the queen after that, his relationship with Xiao Shi was always average.
So after he returned to the Shangqing Palace, the Queen Mother, who was his wife, did not move over together, and the Queen Mother Xiao stayed in the palace, not with her son, not with her husband, which can be seen in general.
Hearing that the Queen Mother even said something like selling her daughter, Emperor Wanyun said helplessly: "Queen Mother, I have promised Ao Yu to give him a chance." So let him and Xiangxiang see each other once, so as not to say that I am not rewarded for my merits, and if Xiangxiang doesn't look down on him at that time, then don't blame me for not giving him a chance. ”
Then the emperor said: "Queen Mother, according to your understanding of Xiangxiang, do you think she will fall in love with Ao Yu?"
The Queen Mother thought for a while and said: "That's definitely not something to look down on, although she is talented, she likes Ao Yu's books and his songs." But I definitely can't look down on Ao Yu as a person, but anyone who has a little vision and a little cleanliness can't look down on Ao Yu. It's nothing to grow fat, his private life is too chaotic, and whoever marries him will have his reputation ruined. ”
The emperor said, "In this case, what is the queen mother worried about?"
The Queen Mother said: "Even if you believe it with Ao Yu, it will ruin Xiangxiang's reputation." ”
The emperor said: "Xiangxiang's reputation, who can ruin it?"
The Queen Mother said: "After the blind date, I sent Ao Yu far away and let him go back to Jiangzhou, although he has merit, but I don't really want to see him." ”
The emperor said, "Yes, Queen Mother!"
........................
The Queen Mother still couldn't stop this blind date.
Time flew by, and soon three days passed.
The twelfth day of the first lunar month has officially arrived.
Although no one watched in person, the blind date between the crane in the clouds and Princess Xiangxiang was still in the spotlight, and even became the only focus.
In the morning!
Yun Zhonghe wore a new robe and left the Ao Mansion in the capital and went to the royal garden to go on a blind date with Princess Xiangxiang.
