Chapter 368: Surprise
In order to find out why Hua Suwen was able to come up with these ideas, the emperor specially sent someone to investigate. Although there was no basis for it, his intuition told him that the little girl's background was certainly not as simple as it was rumored on the surface.
The spy was sent to Yunzhou, and it would take at least seven or eight days for the results of the investigation to be returned. During this period, the emperor could only stand still and wait and see how this matter would develop. I heard that Hua Suwen came up with the idea of raising the north and the south to fight, and he is really looking forward to the arrival of this competition, and I believe that there will be unexpected discoveries.
Thinking about the champion tournament that would be held the next morning, the emperor was a little eager to try. He decided, since there is such a once-in-a-century excitement to see, how can he bear to miss it?
In addition to going to see it himself, the emperor also planned to call someone to accompany him. As for the candidate, he had already thought about it, so it was better to call Hong Qian who stayed in the prison directly. It just so happened that his descendants and disciples participated this time, and the result of the fight was also related to his reputation, so such a candidate could not be more suitable.
After making up his mind, the emperor immediately issued a secret decree. Not long after his secret decree was issued, he was sent to Hong Qian, who was being held in the prison.
After receiving the secret decree, Hong Qian was in a very good mood. With this secret purpose, he understood the emperor's thoughts. Whatever the outcome of the debate, he will not miss a step up in this matter. Being able to call him over to accompany him undoubtedly proves the emperor's trust in him, and at the same time hints at an attitude.
Seeing that all the details of the fight had been finalized, Mo Yi immediately took action. He used the network in his hands to spread the news that there would be a competition between the north and the south the next morning.
In an instant. The time for the fight is quietly coming. After last night's busy overnight, a ring has been set up at the entrance of Changfeng Building, the venue of the event. According to the agreement, the north and south will start a wonderful cultural battle in this ring. For the honor of their respective camps, they will be tested by both judges and opponents.
Before dawn, a crowd of onlookers gathered at the gate of Changfeng Tower. They all came here to admire the elegance of the world's talents.
In the private room of a teahouse opposite Changfeng Tower, the emperor was sitting opposite Hong Qian. They each had a cup of tea in front of them, and an open window beside them. This is the best position to watch the competition in the ring, and it was the emperor who used some means to grab it. I heard that in order to grab this position, some decent people in the capital have found the head of the teahouse owner.
I took a sip of tea. The Emperor then turned his head to look at the ring opposite. Then he turned around and asked with a smile: "Hong Aiqing, in your opinion, which side has a better chance of winning this time in the Wendou?" ”
Seeing that the emperor asked about this, Hong Qian immediately replied in a serious manner: "Your Majesty." In the opinion of the minister. The winner of this cultural fight must be Nanfang Juzi. As for the reason. Your Majesty should understand. If you ask something, the minister will naturally lean towards the southern side, even if it is Aiwu and Wu. ”
Listen to his answer. The Emperor couldn't help but smile. Compared with Hong Qian's mediocre answer, he prefers this answer that is biased towards his own students, which sounds like a strong human touch.
Gently putting down the teacup, the emperor smiled and said to Hong Qian: "By the way, there will be a surprise in this scene, Aiqing don't be too surprised later." To tell the truth, your schoolgirl named Su Wen is really good, not to mention talented, not to mention, and has a good medical skills. Although I have been staying in the palace, I have also heard that she is regarded as the leader of a new generation of talented women. ”
Faced with what the emperor said, Hong Qian was a little uncertain in his heart, so he could only say modestly: "What is the leader of a new generation of talented women, this is just a joke." Su Wen girl does have some small talents, but it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance. ”
Just as the two were chatting, the competition in the ring officially kicked off. The master of ceremonies for this scene was a celebrity among the judges, and as soon as he came on stage, he gave people a sense of elegance. He briefly introduced the rules, and then invited the representatives of both sides to the ring and introduced them one by one.
As soon as the representatives of the two sides appeared, the eyes of the onlookers focused on the two players on the stage. The reason why it attracted the attention of the audience was because these two were all beautiful girls.
Seeing two girls appear in the ring, Hong Qian showed a shocked expression. He thought that only Su asked this girl to participate in the competition this time, but he didn't expect that there would be a second one. I have to say that this change is really surprising, is this the surprise in the emperor's mouth?
Thinking of this, Hong Qian immediately turned his head to look at the emperor opposite. It was at this glance that he saw the smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and there was a little smugness in it.
Seeing Hong Qian's inquiring gaze, the emperor immediately smiled and explained, "What's the matter, is this accident a surprise?" This girl is the daughter of Han Aiqing's family and is known as the first of the top ten talented women in Beijing. She had been grounded, but yesterday she begged for Han Aiqing's mansion. In order to equalize the strength of the two sides, I temporarily lifted Miss Han's ban. ”
After listening to his explanation, Hong Qian understood what was going on. After doing it for a long time, this is for Su Wen, probably to increase the excitement of this ring duel.
Facing the crowd of onlookers, the celebrity who served as the master of ceremonies introduced the representatives of the north and south on the stage one by one. He first introduced from the northern side, and when he introduced Han Bingqing, he attracted the first cheers from the audience. It can be seen from the reactions of everyone in the audience that Han Bingqing's reputation as the first talented woman in the capital is not vegetarian, and her popularity is not ordinarily high.
Regarding the reaction of everyone in the audience, Su Wen secretly pursed his lips in his heart. I really don't understand what these people are thinking, does a talented woman who is confined at home also deserve to be treated so warmly.
Feeling the enthusiasm of everyone in the audience, Han Bingqingyun's light face showed a smile. She nodded to the audience with a reserved and elegant head, which drew an even more enthusiastic cheer than before. It's not the first time she's participated in this kind of occasion, and she's been used to the audience's reaction, and even enjoys it.
Retracting his gaze with satisfaction, Han Bingqing's eyes pretended to inadvertently and gently swept over Su Wen on the other side, which faintly contained a trace of imperceptible provocation.
Although it was difficult to perceive, Su Wen, as the person concerned, still keenly captured this provocative look. She and Han Bingqing had already formed an indissoluble enmity, and she had long expected such a provocation, so she didn't take it to heart at all. She continued to look ahead, not even bothering to give a superfluous look to Han Bingqing on the other side.
For the eye contact between the two girls, the celebrity who served as the master of ceremonies obviously didn't notice it. He continued to introduce the contestants, and soon it was the turn of the southern lifter.
After introducing the first two, the celebrity who served as the master of ceremonies introduced Su Wen. He gave a brief introduction to Su Wen's teacher, and then mentioned the four poems she wrote. When talking about the four poems, he introduced them in detail, which shows that he must have liked them very much, so he deliberately said them in such detail.
After listening to his introduction, everyone in the audience immediately broke out into a burst of thunderous cheers and applause. They had long been familiar with those four poems, and now they were very excited to see the poet's natural expression.
Facing the enthusiastic cheers of everyone in the audience, Su Wen immediately showed a sincere smile and stretched out his hand to say hello. In her opinion, these people in the audience are her fans, so she must take it seriously with a spirit of twelve. With fans comes influence, and no matter what era it is, this is an unchanging truth.
Although he has no obsession with being a celebrity, Su Wen will not refuse the influence sent to the door. After all, she is now inextricably linked to the political arena, and some influence is not a bad thing.
Seeing Su Wen smiling and waving, the fans in the audience suddenly fell into a state of madness. There are not a few talented people and talented women they have seen, and most of them take the noble and glamorous route. It's really rare to see someone who behaves like this. It is precisely for this reason that their favorability towards Suwen soared instantly.
Seeing Su Wen's performance, the emperor immediately turned his head and said to Hong Qian with a smile: "Hong Aiqing, you female student is not simple. As a leader among talented women, it is not easy to put aside the problem of arrogance. ”
Hearing his praise, Hong Qian immediately said modestly: "Your Majesty, you have praised falsely. Su Wen girl did not put aside the problem of arrogance, but she was self-aware in her heart, and did not regard herself as a talented woman in the mouth of everyone. She didn't think of herself as a talented woman at all, so how could she be as proud as others? ”
I have to say that Hong Qian is the truth this time, Su Wen really didn't regard herself as a talented woman, but as a celebrity with a certain social influence, and she has a considerable number of fans under her name.
Although he received many praises, Su Wen did not lose his mind. She knew that the poems that brought these praises were not made by herself, but borrowed from Lin Daiyu. How dare she take this kind of talented woman name falling from the sky? If she did, she would have died ugly.
Hearing Hong Qian's modesty, the emperor couldn't help but nod his head and praised: "Can you not be confused by external objects, your mind as a schoolgirl is really good." Just rush to this mind, and she will not lose your reputation in the future. ”
Hearing this, Hong Qian couldn't help but smile. He understood that the emperor's words were a compliment from the bottom of his heart, so he naturally felt proud of Su Wen in his heart.
After getting along for such a long time, Hong Qian has long treated Su Wen as his own child. Now that someone sincerely praises his child, how can he be indifferent to this? (To be continued......)
