Chapter 120: See You in Three Days (Second Update)
Emperor Wu laughed and said, "The second prince doesn't have to participate in this game. ”
Huan Wuping's brows tightened, and his originally warm face froze for a moment, "I don't know what Your Majesty means by this." ”
Emperor Wu originally wanted to leave a suspense to announce it on the day of the competition, so he only showed the jade pendant, and did not say what the mysterious prize was, but since the matter has come to this point, he must give Huan Wuping an explanation, and casual rhetoric is unreasonable.
The ministers also vaguely felt that the emperor was going to say what the final mysterious reward was, and everyone waited carefully with their ears pricked up, holding their breath, and the huge palace was quiet.
"This competition is just for the recruitment of the lord of Rong'an, although it is a competition in the competition, it is actually to select the husband of Rong'an Anyi. So the second prince doesn't have to take it seriously, if he wants to learn poetry, he will have the opportunity to do so in the future. ”
The ministers were also stunned, but they didn't expect that the final mysterious reward turned out to be the lord of Rong'an and the Beiguan fiefdom behind her.
Li Qing secretly glanced at Xu Zhang, Xu Zhang shook his head slightly and did not speak.
It's good not to listen to Emperor Wu's words, as soon as he heard Emperor Wu's words, Huan Wuping got up suddenly, bowed down and said, "Wu Ping never thought that this competition would have such a mystery, Wu Ping has long heard that the heroine of Rong'an County has admired it for a long time, and Wu Ping will do his best to win this competition." ”
The corners of Emperor Wu's eyes twitched fiercely, who did Rong An marry, whether that person was really talented and learned, he was not so concerned, as long as Rong An was willing, but this person must be a Han person, because Rong An inherited the title and was destined to become a prince, if Huan Wuping stepped in, things would become more complicated.
Emperor Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "But you haven't even seen Rong An's appearance." ”
The corners of Huan Wuping's mouth rose, "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Wu Ping traveled around with his teacher three years ago, passing through Beiguan, and had a relationship with the lord of Rong'an. The lord of Rong'an County looks like the moon, and the country is captivating. ”
Emperor Wu raised his eyebrows slightly and pursed his lips.
Because Rong'an showed people with a veil after coming to Chang'an, very few people have seen her true appearance, and it is rumored in Chang'an City that the lord of Rong'an is extremely ugly. Emperor Wu thought that he could use this reason to prevaricate Huan Wuping, but he didn't expect that he would actually see Rong An, and he couldn't help but sink in his heart.
"Since the second prince had seen Rong An in Beiguan, he naturally knew that her father was Changming Marquis Lin Kui? Marquis Changming died, and Rong An wanted to inherit his father's title, so this recruitment of sons-in-law was really a blessing. ”
"Money?" Huan Wuping repeated softly.
Emperor Wu's eyebrows stretched, thinking that since Huan Wuping was comfortable with the Han books, he naturally knew what it meant to be rich, which was unacceptable to the locals of the Han Dynasty, not to mention the foreigners, after entering the country, the children should have the surname Rong'an's family name, and they should stay in Beiguan, which is equivalent to marrying a son-in-law who entered the door. Emperor Wu concluded that Huan Wuping would not agree.
Although Fujiwara is a rough man and has no culture, he also has some understanding of Han culture with Huan Wuping on weekdays, and naturally understands the meaning of being rich.
His eyes widened slightly, watching Huan Wuping's reaction.
Huan Wuping did not back down in the slightest, and a trace of openness appeared on his elegant and fair face, "Your Majesty, rest assured, if Wuping can win the game and be favored by the county lord, he will ask his father for instructions." ”
Emperor Wu's heart that he had just put down was pinched again, although Huan Wuping did not directly say that he was willing to join the competition, but obviously the meaning of his words was that it could be considered, and it was not the reason to prevent him from participating in the Biwen Competition.
Emperor Wu remained calm on the surface, but in fact, he turned the river and the sea in his heart, and he was already very irritable because of his face, so he did not get angry immediately, Huan Wuping did not participate in the competition and did not give up.
Naturally, everyone is happy if they lose, but looking at Huan Wuping's confident appearance, he really doesn't look like a master who just wants to play soy sauce. This is what Emperor Wu is most worried about.
It's what if Huan Wuping wins. Losing face is small, and it is related to the national body. There was also a Rong'an County Lord sandwiched in the middle, and the more Emperor Wu thought about it, the more irritated he became.
Directly twisted his eyebrows and said, "In any case, the second prince can't participate in this competition." ”
Huan Wuping was stunned for a moment, and a trace of anger flashed on his still face, "Your Majesty did everything possible to obstruct Wu Ping from participating in the competition, is it because he is afraid that Wu Ping will win and the students of the Han Dynasty will lose face?" How ridiculous it is that a large country with many talents would be afraid of an envoy from another country. After saying that, Huan Wuping let out two sneers.
Fujiwara also laughed, "The emperor must know that the second prince of my family is very knowledgeable, and he is afraid that he will lose face if he loses too badly, it's okay, second prince, let's let them, just win a small victory." ”
Emperor Wu was furious, slapped his big palm on the table, and made a loud noise, and the ministers who were still secretly observing in the audience couldn't help but shiver.
"See you in the ring at noon in three days."
Huan Wuping hooked the corners of his mouth, "Your Majesty." ”
......
Huan Wuping and Fujiwara left peacefully.
But there was no peace in the hall.
Emperor Wu fell into deep thought, for him, Huan Wuping's addition was definitely bad news.
And for the ministers, they don't want the fat of Beiguan to be snatched away by the second prince of the Wa Kingdom, even if Huan Wuping is willing to join the family, but the bloodline is always bad. Besides, they want the fiefdom of Beiguan more than anyone else.
Before the war in Beiguan, no one was willing to defend it, but in ten years, the Marquis of Changming governed the fief a prosperous scene, and the current Beiguan is no longer the Beiguan ten years ago. This bowl of ready-made broth is not tempted by anyone.
Zhang Tang looked left and right, and was the first to get up and bow down and said, "The emperor doesn't have to worry, presumably that prince is just a strong outsider and a middle-class cadre, and he won't pose any threat." And our Han talents are numerous, and the descendants of the literary and brilliant abound, how can a little prince win the first place. ”
Li Qing hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes, why should the emperor worry about this matter, maybe that Huan Wuping has been eliminated in the first game, and it is just a shame for him to be so arrogant." ”
Last time, the county lord of Rong'an canceled the recruitment of sons-in-law for no reason, Li Qing was very sad for a while, although he was rich, but he was able to have one of his sons to become the county horse of Beiguan, Li Qing was still very honored, and the most important thing was that it was said that the county lord of Rong'an inherited the title, but after all, she was a woman, and she always had to teach her husband and children, and the real power was not all in the hands of the county horse. Even if the first son born in the future is surnamed Marquis Changming, he still has the blood of their Li family in his bones, and he will inherit the title one day and be the heir of their Li family.
Not only Li Qing, the courtiers and nobles, the abacus in their hearts are all strikingly similar, and naturally they will not let the people they send lose to the second prince of the Japanese country. They boasted that they would never lose to a small country.
Emperor Wu felt a little comforted in his heart, and he couldn't show any favoritism in the game at this time, but even if Huo Guang couldn't win, as long as it wasn't Huan Wuping, although he had wronged Rong An, he could only do so.
