Chapter 114: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"He seems to be looking for something, it seems to be a very important jade pendant." Qiao'er said this, with a gloating look on her face, "Who called him so shameless and deserved." County Lord, do you say that this is a good reward for good and evil for evil, and it is not that the time has not yet come for not reporting. β
Rong An was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched the jade pendant in his sleeve, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his fair face.
Qiao'er said this to herself, and didn't notice the change in Rong An's expression, "Since it is a very important jade pendant, it must be worth more than two bowls of wontons, now my heart is balanced, hum." β
Rong An didn't speak, thoughtful.
Qiao'er suddenly changed her words, "County Lord, we don't know which family's son the future county horse is, why aren't you in a hurry." Let's find it today. β
"I think I already know which family he is." Rong Anying's lips hooked slightly, and she suddenly got up and walked out the door.
Before Qiao'er could react, Rong An had already walked to the door, "County Lord, where are you going." β
"Enter the palace."
"Huh?!" Qiao'er paused, her fair and round face was full of confusion, and she hurriedly chased out.
......
After Liu Gonggong finished the message, completed the task, and returned to the palace, before entering the main hall, he heard the sound of things falling to the ground inside.
He gasped at the door and walked slowly into the main hall.
Bypassing all kinds of obstacles on the ground, he walked towards Emperor Wu, and knelt on the ground, "The emperor is angry, the dragon body is important." β
Emperor Wu glanced at Gonggong Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, and did not continue to throw things, but he did not dissipate his anger either.
"You say, why can't they all settle down a little, and I want to appoint a six-rank Fengche Lieutenant and ask them to give advice? I appoint a courtier, when I need someone else to interfere. β
Gonggong Liu didn't get up, nor did he answer, he knew in his heart that it was wrong to say anything at the moment, and this tone was going to be straightened out by the emperor himself.
Xu Zhang and the others kept provoking the relationship between the emperor and the Huo brothers, and according to the emperor's character, they absolutely ignored it, and they were powerful with an iron fist, and they could reward them as they wanted, but today the emperor sent an edict to let Huo Guang rest at home, which can only prove one point.
Although the emperor was angry with Xu Zhang's harassment, he was actually wary of this matter in his heart, otherwise he could completely ignore it, so why bother himself to be angry.
Anger proves that the heart is hesitating and struggling.
Gonggong Liu has been by the emperor's side for so long, and he knows that Emperor Wu has a temperament, cherishes talents, loves talents, and is afraid of talents, after all, he is the emperor, of course, the most important thing is to consolidate his imperial power, and no matter how much he favors his courtiers, once he threatens his throne, the emperor will not tolerate it.
And this time, Xu Zhang and they hit the emperor's mind.
Under normal circumstances, on such a sensitive topic, Gonggong Liu is silent, unless the emperor has to let him speak.
At this time, Emperor Wu suddenly asked, "Liu Sheng, tell me, is my reward for Huo Guang unreasonable?" β
"This ......" Liu Sheng is a smart person, thought for a while, and then slowly spoke, "General Huo is Your Majesty's nephew, and this Huo Guang is also His Majesty's nephew according to his seniority, since they are all nephews, if you want to give your nephew a reward, it is your family matter, and outsiders are not qualified to intervene." β
Housework.
Emperor Wu smiled slightly, his eyebrows stretched, and cast an appreciative look at Liu Sheng.
Yes, there is naturally no need for others to intervene in housework, and the appointment of his nephew, do you still need them to dictate?
The little eunuch outside the door cautiously walked into the main hall slowly, "Your Majesty, the lord of Rong'an asks to see you." β
Emperor Wu's anger eased slightly, and he raised his hand to signal Gonggong Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, to get up.
Liu Sheng hurriedly beckoned the little eunuch behind him to pick up the things that fell on the ground, and after everything was cleaned up, he went out to invite the county lord of Rong'an into the palace.
Lord Rong'an had been waiting for a while, and he didn't know what was going on in the hall. She always subconsciously touches the things in her sleeve.
Originally, Emperor Wu's mood had begun to ease, and when he saw Rong An coming, his mood improved even more. He knew that Rong An could only come to him for one thingβa major event in life, and Emperor Wu was most enthusiastic about this matter.
Although Emperor Wu saw it, he said with a little ridicule, "What is the matter with Rong An looking for me?" β
Rong An smiled lightly, and Sakura's lips opened slightly, "Rong An wants to hold a competition in the name of the emperor." β
"Race?" Emperor Wu repeated in surprise, originally thinking that Rong An came this time just to find that wishful Langjun through him, after all, as the Son of Heaven, it was too easy to find someone in Chang'an, much simpler than a little girl looking for a headless fly.
But he never expected that as soon as Rong An opened his mouth, he was not looking for Ruyi Langjun, but asking him to hold some competition, which aroused Emperor Wu's interest even more, could it be that he wanted to hold a new competition to recruit sons-in-law.
Emperor Wu Xiao continued to ask with interest, "Does Rong An want me to help you hold another recruitment competition?" No problem, anytime. β
Rong An shook his head lightly, "Back to Your Majesty, Rong An doesn't want to recruit a son-in-law, Rong An just wants to hold a bibun competition." β
"Sss Emperor Wu didn't understand what Rong An meant, "Since it's not for recruiting sons-in-law, why do you want to hold a literary competition?" And only more than the text? β
"Rong An has his own plans, please ask the emperor for permission, as long as the emperor announces this game, anyone in Chang'an City can participate, and the reward for the game is this jade pendant." Rong An stepped forward and presented the jade pendant in his hand to Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu originally looked confused, but the moment he got the jade pendant, he understood everything. Because the jade pendant is engraved with a word, "Huo".
There are many jade pendants with such a texture in Chang'an City, but there is only one that will be engraved with the word "Huo" on it.
It's just that I don't know which member of the Huo family Rong Anxin belongs to.
It is said that if it is a martial arts competition, Emperor Wu can definitely be his brother, but this competition is ...... It is estimated that none of his hussar generals will attend.
Emperor Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be my younger brother?" β
was coldly guessed by the emperor, Rong An smiled unconsciously.
Emperor Wu was clear in his heart, and said loudly, "Okay, the Biwen Contest will be held today." β
After Rong An thanked the emperor, he left the main hall.
She was very happy in her heart, she got the emperor's consent, and the emperor personally held the competition, the influence must be unprecedented, and she is not afraid that she will not be able to find him. Thinking of this, Rong An smiled in her heart.
After Rong An left, Emperor Wu was in a good mood, and he was able to promote a marriage, and Emperor Wu was of course happy.
Liu Sheng, who was standing on the side, covered his mouth and snickered, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." β
Emperor Wu laughed, "You should congratulate Rong'an, why congratulate me." β
"Of course, congratulations to the emperor, with this Biwen Contest, both problems can be easily solved, killing two birds with one stone."
Emperor Wu glanced at Liu Sheng, and the corners of his mouth rose to reveal a playful arc, "You tell me how to kill two birds with one stone." β
"Isn't what the emperor has been worried about is Huo Guang's appointment? Now that there is the lord of Rong'an, there is just a good position for him. Noble status, but you can stay away from Chang'an? It's truly killing two birds with one stone. β
