Chapter 472: Smoke from the Ancestral Grave
Several martial arts masters are faster than Zhu Changan.
At this time, protecting him over the dog group has already given face, and everyone sees that there is still a chance to win the top few, where will they be humble, and they are all full of energy and go straight to the theater.
However, in the face of the last three questions, almost all of them stopped at the first two.
Zhu Changzhe gradually put his mind at ease, according to this situation, he should have no problem keeping the top three.
It's just that no one expected that Zhu Changan answered the first question correctly and could answer the second question correctly.
Of course he didn't see the words on the tray, he didn't even know if it was engraved on the bottom or the side of the tray.
But he thought that in the message brought back by the flowing smoke, there was a mention that the Pan family had also found someone to make a special tray for engraving. The rough man who worked only knew that the words "ten thousand", "thousand" and "blessing" were engraved on the tray......
Is that all these pallets talking about?
Thousands of well-being? Manfuku Chitose?
Could it be......
A Thousand Blessings?
Is this it?
The queen mother's thousand autumns, so take a good omen?
The more he thought about it, the more certain he became, and finally wrote down the answer he had guessed.
So, he was right.
The few people in front of him failed to answer the second question correctly, and although several people after him also answered two questions correctly, they all failed before the third question.
With this Meng, he finally finished third.
Li Chun became the only one who cleared all three questions correctly, while Zhu Changzhe took second place with the advantage of speed.
took the third, this result was actually beyond the expectations of everyone, including Zhu Changan.
During the competition, after Li Chun threw it down, Zhu Changan didn't dare to get up for a while. He was afraid that Li Chun was still nearby and waiting to clean him up, so he waited for half a cup of tea before he dared to show up. At that time, he had basically given up competing for the top spot, or even the top few.
Then, he struggled.
It's not that it's hard to walk, it's that he's injured and not in good condition.
The pain was accompanied by anxiety, which made him sweat coldly, dizzy and numb.
He soon arrived at the resting place where the palace maid was, where he sat and drank tea, and took ginseng tablets with the palace maid. After his condition eased a little, he followed a few companions and walked forward with the prince of Jingzhong, who he was still more familiar with. Everyone didn't think he was very good, so naturally they didn't give him a loss either openly or secretly.
In the end, it is the prince, the affection still has to be given, and Zhu Chang'an's polite words made him go, not only did everyone not embarrass him, but also protected him all the way.
At this moment, he won the third place in one fell swoop, and he himself was dumbfounded, and Concubine Zhao, who had also given up in his heart, cried with joy.
It's not the first place, but it's good enough......
Li Chun made a mistake and made a mistake, and he still underestimated Zhu Chang'an, he was able to get the map of the maze, and he even figured out the emperor's question? Was he well prepared, or was he scheming, or was it just luck?
I knew that I should have been more ruthless......
Li Chun was annoyed, and Zhu Changqi, who arrived at the theater with Zhu Changan, felt very betrayed, and secretly said that the fourth brother was scheming, and regretted that he was soft-hearted and did not push him into the dog pack.
Zhu Changjue, who was the first to arrive, was even more fierce and extremely unhappy. He was surpassed by the fifth child, he was even surpassed by the fourth child, and at this moment he felt the disappointment of many people in him......
And when everyone was focused, Zhu Changan's face was as pale as paper, he couldn't hold on, and sat on the ground covering his wound, as if he was about to faint.
Of course, this time, more than half of the ingredients are acting. How to get the maximum attention and benefits, Zhu Changan also understands. True and false, false and real, as long as it can be convincing.
Concubine Zhao suddenly shouted, and the Queen Mother was also worried and caring.
"Was it caused by a previous wound?" After Concubine Zhao's deliberate "reminder", the emperor suddenly thought of the knife that his son on the boat blocked for himself that day.
The memories that he deliberately didn't think of were turned out, and the guilt and pity in the emperor's heart regenerated, no matter how bad this son was, he didn't want to block the knife for himself. He has not recovered from his injury, and he has also won a good position, which has proved his strength to some extent.
Perhaps, he is too demanding of him......
The imperial doctor is not stupid, this competition is sponsored by the emperor, and these days are a good day to celebrate the birthday of Qianqiu, and the condition of the four princes naturally cannot be too serious, so they can only say in a vague direction. When he saw the emperor's expression again, it was obvious that he was concerned and worried about the four princes, and immediately organized his speech.
He only said that the four princes valued the competition and fought too fiercely, and did not take care of their bodies in order to complete the competition, the wound was traumatized, and the spirit was tense. There will be no big danger, but it will be more troublesome to heal, and he will do his best to take care of the injuries of the four princes......
"Then just use the best medicine, this wound must be healed! Otherwise, I'll ask you! If you need any medicinal herbs that you don't have there, you just need to find Father-in-law Yu, and the injuries of the four princes will be handed over to you......" The emperor spoke at that time.
How could Concubine Zhao let go of such a good opportunity, she wiped Zhu Changan's forehead in a cold sweat, her voice trembled, and her feelings were in place.
"An'er, he always does. At the critical moment, regardless of his own situation, the last time he fought with the assassins on the ship, and today's competition is like this, as long as he can fulfill his filial piety, as long as it is for the elders, as long as it is for the royal family, no matter how dangerous it is, no matter how difficult it is, he is so reckless and reckless, the emperor you can persuade him well. and An'er's sincerity and loyalty, I hope the emperor can feel and cherish ......"
Zhu Changan has not been in vain these days, and he has secretly attracted some supporters, and he is also busy helping to speak openly and secretly at this time.
"The fourth prince can still win the third place in the test with an injury, and his strength is really not to be underestimated."
"Yes, he has only been practicing martial arts for a few days and has been recognized by Master Wu as a once-in-a-century genius, if he takes time, he will definitely be able to make great achievements. Today's ranking is a testament to his ability. ”
"If the four princes are not dragged down by old injuries today, they will definitely have better results!"
“……”
Such words sound nonsense, but it makes people unable to argue, after all, the blocking knife is true, the master's praise is true, and the third is also true.
Even the emperor had to admit that this injury may have really dragged down the fourth.
"An'er's performance today is particularly outstanding, you are injured and still participating in the test, resulting in this injury on top of injury, it is indeed a lack of consideration by me. Although you didn't get the first place, everyone saw your performance. The queen mother promised that the son, who performed particularly well today, would be rewarded separately. An'er, it's you! You go to the Backrooms to take care of the wounds, what do you want, and when you come back, I will grant you a favor......"
What a bonus.
Zhu Changan's mother and son were overjoyed.
Giving grace? Isn't it almost the same treatment as the first place? If you can get ahead of the curve......
"Son, why don't you hurry up and bring it up to your father if you want something?" Concubine Zhao got a signal from her son and immediately began to hand the ladder to her son.
"Father, son, ......"
"An'er, it's still important to see the injury!" The gentle smile on the emperor's face instantly deepened. As soon as the mother and son looked at each other, he felt a kind of calculative exchange. I can't wait. The emperor had not forgotten their marriage proposal when they were watching the play, and waited outside his courtyard......
Obviously, they still didn't give up on Cheng Ziyu.
Cheng Ziyu, he is going to leave it to Li Chun! Spoil his good deeds once, and there must not be a second time.
"If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later! Imperial doctor, don't hurry up and send the four princes away! ”
The emperor couldn't help but say that he didn't give them a chance again. A glance was handed out, and the waiter over there had already carried Zhu Changan away.
The emperor made up his mind, Concubine Zhao, he couldn't let her get close to the fourth child anymore. The fourth child wants to become a talent, and the first one will stay away from Concubine Zhao.
Otherwise, he is a little family who is calculating by a woman, and he has no long-term vision, and he calculates all the time. Wang Yue, Wen Lan, Cheng Ziyu, I heard that I recently accepted a woman of unknown origin by my side...... It's time for him to take his heart and use it elsewhere.
The competition is over.
It's time for the rankings to be rewarded.
Yu Gonggong stepped forward to announce that after the emperor and the queen mother had just discussed, in line with the principle of having fun, all the sons who participated in the competition, regardless of their results, would be rewarded.
As long as you arrive at the front of the theater, regardless of the answer results of the last level, you will be rewarded with a pair of jade pendants, a set of four treasures in the study, and a box of pearls.
Immediately afterwards, Father-in-law Yu announced the reward of the first Li Chun.
As the only one to clear the customs, he was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and three thousand taels of silver promised by the emperor at the beginning. The Queen Mother also added another two thousand taels of silver.
There are words in advance, the emperor and the queen mother will each give the first name a commendation.
The queen mother smiled and asked the emperor what he wanted to give, but the emperor said bluntly, saying that Li Chun was homeless and lacked nothing, so let him think about it first. The emperor also told the queen mother not to worry, and waited for Li Chun to think about the grace requested, and then gave the promised reward......
Then the rewards for the second and third places were announced.
It turned out to be the same.
When Concubine Zhao heard that there was a large amount of gold and silver, she immediately smiled like a flower. Such a large amount of gold and silver can be regarded as relieving her and her son's urgent needs.
And the emperor has been observing Zhu Changzhe.
I have to say that he is more and more appreciative of this son.
Zhu Changzhe won second, and his performance was excellent all the way.
His age, his strength, it is not easy to get to this position. He was not proud, did not show off, and did not disagree with Li Chun, he was the first to stand up and congratulate Li Chun on winning the championship.
Therefore, he still has a clear mind, is calm and rational, will not be carried away by emotions, always maintains an objective attitude, and makes the most beneficial choice for himself. From this point of view, this advantage of the fifth child is beneficial to the imperial power.
And this also happens to be an important reason why the emperor was chosen by the first emperor that year!
Therefore, the emperor did not stop his investigation of Zhu Changzhe, no, he deliberately made the second place of the fifth child unrealistic.
Less than the top, still less than the bottom.
Compared with Li Chun's "Shang", the reward is not small in gold and silver, two commendations and one grace. Compared with Zhu Changan, the amount of reward is exactly the same, but Zhu Changan has received one more grace than him because of his illness.
From this point of view, his second place suffers the most.
To put it bluntly, it's very unfair.
Normal people should be unwilling in this situation and fight for their own rights and interests, right? The emperor knew that Zhu Changzhe had a deep mind and could hide everything in his heart, but he didn't know how deep and how much he could hide.
So the emperor wanted to tempt.
The emperor was not disappointed.
No matter how unwilling Zhu Changzhe was in his heart, his expression was always calm, and there was no outward fluctuation. In addition, his expression has always been scarce, and his mood is not revealed, which makes it difficult for people to spy on his mind by observing words and colors...... This happens to be a good quality that the emperor's position needs.
Therefore, the emperor was very satisfied with the whole investigation.
"Zhe'er is the second place, which is gratifying, and after returning to Beijing, he came to me to receive an errand. Since you have this ability, you should share your worries for the court, and you can't be lazy in the future. If you do your errand, I will let you fight with your grandfather and kill you!" ”
Zhu Changzhe's pupils vibrate, and he couldn't hide his joy after all.
This grace is very real. The errands of the court and the experience of expatriate are much stronger than gold and silver.
He was already extremely disappointed, but his blood boiled at this moment......
"Li Chun!"
At last the moment came, and the emperor called him.
"I have promised you grace, say, whatever you want, as long as I can do it, as long as it is feasible, I should do it."
Li Chun knelt on the ground, his eyes lingering on the emperor, the queen mother, and Cheng Ziyu one by one.
"Thank you for your grace. The ministers have nothing to ask for wealth, status, and women, but they only want to use their own strength to defend the country, spill blood on the battlefield, and return to the horse leather shroud. The ministers are full of enthusiasm for the court and the battlefield, not seeking wealth and glory, not for meritorious service, only for the Great Zhou to get rid of the last invaders, exhaust the last drop of blood, and to do their best for the court, never ......"
"Li Chun! Do you know what you're talking about? The emperor was a little flustered, hearing this, he was clearly refusing? He's going to rebel against his offer? Repentance of his promise?
"Your Majesty, let's listen to the ministers first. The minister knows what he is talking about, the minister has lived for more than 20 years, and he has never been so sober as recently! Li Chun turned his gaze from the emperor to Cheng Ziyu.
But recently, the minister's state of mind has changed, sometimes happy, sometimes depressed, and he has begun to suffer from gains and losses. The minister will be happy because of a person's laughter, and he will be uncomfortable because of a person's pain. From time to time, the minister will think of the sentence that the emperor told you before that there is no conflict between starting a family and being loyal. So, the minister suddenly figured it out, and the minister knew what he wanted. ”
"Oh? What do you want? The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
"The minister wants to start a family!"
The air is almost stagnant.
What the?
Everyone gasped deeply, but didn't dare to interrupt.
Some people even plucked out their ears and pinched their hands.
No way? rejected the princess of this dynasty, looked down on foreign princesses, and pushed away Li Chun, who had several noble girls in the capital, saying that he had someone he liked and wanted to start a family?
In the next moment, everyone found that Li Chun's eyes were firm and tenacious, and even a little flattering. Everyone present followed his line of sight, and finally stopped behind the Queen Mother......
Who? Cheng Ziyu? The soaring Jinxi County Lord?
No way?
For a while, many people present dropped their jaws in shock and forgot to shut their mouths for a long time.
After several nobles' marriage proposals, the ancestral tomb of the Cheng family is smoking, right?
