I don't know if I can do it, but since the system didn't say goodbye, it seems that a lot of things have been injected directly into his brain, and now the miscellaneous things in his brain are very active, sometimes chaotic and sometimes orderly.

Huo Guang couldn't help but smile secretly, maybe he had really become strong and excellent, thinking of this, he was a little narcissistic again.

Thinking about the jade pendant I saw just now, my mood was not beautiful in an instant, it was obviously his jade pendant, those people opened their eyes and said nonsense, and what was the reward for winning the game, it was pure nonsense, Huo Guang had a special feeling.

It's obviously your own thing, but it becomes someone else's in a day, which doesn't count, the most hateful thing is that if you want to get your own thing, you have to participate in some bullshit competition.

Huo Guang stood in the middle of the road, lamenting what had happened to him in the past few days when he returned to Chang'an, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.

Isn't it just a contest, well, just compare.

......

A lot of things happen every day in Chang'an City, and other people's affairs are small things, but the emperor's golden mouth, no matter how small, is a big thing.

Last time, the son-in-law of the lord of Rong'an was full of turmoil in the city, everyone knows it, of course, the most distressed are the high-ranking officials and nobles, first, they don't want to send their sons and nephews to the border of Beiguan, who doesn't want to seek an official and a half-post in Chang'an, and enjoy the glory and wealth at the feet of the Son of Heaven for the rest of their lives.

There is also a legend that the lord of Rong'an has a fierce personality and looks strangely ugly, and no one remembers who first spread the news, anyway, now everyone in Chang'an thinks this is the truth.

The recruitment of sons-in-law has just ended, and the emperor is going to hold a literary contest this time, and it is said that the reward is very rich, the jade pendant given by the emperor, not to mention the value of the jade pendant itself, just the word "imperial gift" is enough. The umbrellas sent by the emperor are all golden umbrellas, which are honors and status symbols.

In addition to this jade pendant, there are two mysterious gifts, but now no one knows what the mysterious gift is, because no one knows, but it seems that this competition is extraordinarily different, covered with a layer of "bull ratio" color.

It is not the first time that Emperor Wu has held an exam, but according to the speculation of the dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City who have grown up smelling the political air all year round, this competition is likely to make someone soar, and this person must be the one who won the competition.

Originally, it was only the officials in charge of this competition around Emperor Wu who knew that after half a day's effort, the city was all over the city, and everyone was trying their best to find out the details of the competition.

The competition is set for three days later, the stage of the competition is in full swing, in order to play a fair game in three rounds, each round will have someone eliminated, the last round only two people remained, the emperor personally invigilated, announced the results, and rewarded.

As for the questions of the competition, the emperor himself wrote the questions of each exam, handed them over to the examiner in the form of a secret decree, and finally opened them at the exam site.

This is mainly for the sake of the principle of fairness, justice and openness.

After the game was shrouded in mystery, the ministers couldn't sit still, and since they couldn't get the news from the front, they could only start from behind.

The harem has become the target of their inquiry, and in Emperor Wu's harem, they will more or less get involved with the dignitaries and nobles in the court.

It's just that this thing is different from the past, and no one in the harem knows.

Emperor Wu didn't say it, just because Rong An had instructed him before, try to be as low-key as possible, and he had already held a recruitment of sons-in-law before, and it was difficult to say it now, the reward of this Biwen Contest was the county lord himself, so except for Gonggong Liu beside Emperor Wu, and the county lord himself, no one knew the true meaning of this competition.

If Emperor Wu doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that the ministers won't ask.

The ministers with sharp noses hurried into the palace at the slightest hint of trouble, trying to knock on the side of the emperor's mouth to find some clues. If there is a suitable candidate for their own family to participate, they all hurried to register, and if there is really no suitable candidate, they will also send their own staff to sign up.

Li Qing's cousin happened to be involved in the construction of the venue for this competition, so he was the first among the courtiers to know the news, and the first thing he did when he knew the news was to enter the palace.

Li Qing walked thoughtfully on the steps outside the main hall, thinking about the words of seeing the emperor for a while, and walked forward. Suddenly, there was a familiar sound of footsteps behind him.

"Li Changshi walks slowly......"

Li Qing turned his head when he heard this, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then a sense of vigilance rose in his heart, "Oh, isn't this Dr. Xu, you also entered the palace to meet Your Majesty?" ”

Although the two are united on the issue of Huo Guang, they are only using each other, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

Of course, Xu Zhang came to find the emperor, and he concluded that his own affairs should be the same as Li Qing, although Xu Zhang knew in his heart, he didn't want to say anything, but he just smiled and asked, "Could it be that Li Changshi also wants to meet the emperor?" ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, neither spoke, but walked side by side to the main hall with their own thoughts.

What they didn't expect was that it was not only the two of them who came to meet His Majesty today, but the hall was already full of people, comparable to the early dynasty.

When I found that there were more people who had the same thoughts as myself, two people who were not friends were originally united in order to consolidate their own interests.

When they entered the palace, it happened that Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, was talking to the emperor, and after Xu Li and the others bowed to Emperor Wu, they retreated to the side.

"Weichen is not talented, I hope I can share your worries for Your Majesty."

The ministers behind him said in unison, "I hope to share your majesty's worries." ”

So many courtiers are willing to share his worries, of course Emperor Wu is happy, but there is nothing to worry about this game, he just wants to find a county horse for the county lord of Rong'an, this is a happy thing, where does the worry come from.

Emperor Wu laughed, "Zhongqing's family is flat, I hold this competition mainly to recruit virtuous ministers, and the scope of this competition is not limited to Chang'an, people from all walks of life can participate." As for the worries, the title of the competition was drawn up by me personally, and the invigilator was Zhang Xiangkun, who is now in charge of the competition, and it is not complicated. ”

Zhang Tang did not give up, the more Emperor Wu said it casually, the more he felt that there must be a deeper meaning in this, perhaps related to the selection and appointment of important official positions, and the emperor put it bluntly, it was a literary competition, not a martial arts competition, Zhang Tang was sure that this position was a civil service.

Zhang Tang bowed his hand and said, "Weichen is stupid, I don't know what the reward for the winner of this competition is?" "In fact, Zhang Tang had already gotten the news, but he didn't dare to tell it all, lest Emperor Wu be suspicious.

Sooner or later, the rewards of the competition will be revealed to the world, of course, there is no need to hide it, "I will personally reward the winner of this Biwen Competition, in addition to the jade pendant, there are also two mysterious awards." ”
