system of princes and generals

Chapter 103 Mystery Prize
Biwen Dae doesn't know if he can do it, but since the system left without saying goodbye, it seems that a lot of things have been directly injected into his brain. Now the miscellaneous things in his brain are very active, sometimes chaotic and sometimes very sequence.

Huo Guang couldn't help laughing secretly, maybe he had really become stronger and better, thinking of this, he was a little narcissistic again.

Thinking about the jade pendant I saw just now, the mood is not beautiful in an instant. It is obviously his jade pendant. Those people are talking nonsense with their eyes open, and they say that it is a reward for winning the game. It is pure nonsense. Huo Guang has a particularly useless Feel.

What's obviously yours can become someone else's in a day. That's not all. The most disgusting thing is that if you want to get your own things, you have to participate in some bullshit competition.

Standing in the middle of the road, Huo Guang lamented what he had experienced in the past few days back in Chang'an, he couldn't help but heaved his forehead and let out a long sigh.

Isn't it just a competition? Well, let's compete.

Many things happen in Chang'an City every day, other people's affairs are big and small, but the emperor's golden words, no matter how small, are big things.

The last time Princess Rong'an recruited a son-in-law, the city was full of uproar, and everyone knew it. Of course, the most distressed were the dignitaries and nobles. First of all, they didn't want to send their nephews to the border like Beiguan. Who wouldn't want to be in Chang'an? Find an official position and enjoy the glory and wealth at the feet of the emperor for the rest of his life.

There is also a rumor that Princess Rong'an has a fierce personality and looks very ugly. No one remembers who was the first to spread the news. Anyway, everyone in Chang'an now thinks this is the truth.

The recruitment of a son-in-law has just ended, and the emperor is going to hold a competition this time, and it is said that the rewards are very generous. The jade pendant bestowed by the emperor, let alone the value of the jade pendant, just the word "gifted by the emperor" is enough.The umbrellas given by the emperor are all golden umbrellas, it is an honor, and it is a symbol of status.

In addition to this jade pendant bestowed by the emperor, there are also two mysterious gifts, but now no one knows what the mysterious gifts are. " color.

It is not the first time that Emperor Wu held the exam, but according to the guesses of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City who grew up smelling the political atmosphere all the year round, this competition is likely to make someone become famous, and this person must be the winner of the competition people.

Originally, it was only the officials around Emperor Wu who were in charge of the competition who knew about it. After a long time, the whole city was intercepted, and everyone was trying their best to inquire about the specific matters of the competition.

The competition was scheduled to be held three days later, and the stage of the competition was being built in full swing. For the sake of fair competition, there were three rounds. In each round, someone would be eliminated, and only two people would be left in the last round.

As for the questions of the competition, the emperor personally wrote the questions. The questions of each exam would be written by the emperor, handed over to the examiners in a secret form, and finally opened at the exam site.

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

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

The harem became their target to inquire about news. In Emperor Wu's harem, they were more or less related to the dignitaries and nobles in the court.

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

Emperor Wu didn't say anything, it was just because Rong An had ordered him to keep a low profile as much as possible, and he had already held a solicitation for a son-in-law before, so it's hard to say it now. And the princess himself, no one knows the true meaning of this competition anymore.

Just because Emperor Wu didn't say anything, doesn't mean the ministers won't ask.

The ministers with sharp noses rushed into the palace at the slightest sign of trouble, trying to find some clues from the emperor's mouth.There are suitable candidates from my own family to participate, so I hurried to sign up. If there is no suitable candidate, I will send my staff to sign up.

Li Qing's cousin happened to be involved in the construction of the competition venue, so he was one of the courtiers who knew the news earlier. The first thing he did when he heard the news was to enter the palace. Of course, his speech was to ask if there was anything he needed to share his worries with. In fact, it is to inquire about the purpose of this competition.

Li Qing walked on the steps outside the hall thoughtfully, thinking about what he would say when he would see the emperor later, while walking forward.Suddenly there was a familiar sound of footsteps behind him.

"Li Changshi walks slowly"

Li Qing turned his head when he heard the sound, he couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then he felt guarded, "Oh, isn't this Dr. Xu, you also entered the palace to meet His Majesty?"

Although the two are in agreement on Huo Guang's issue, they are just using each other. There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

Of course Xu Zhang came to look for the emperor, and he concluded that his matter should be the same as that of Li Qing, although Xu Zhang knew it in his heart, but he didn't want to reveal it, he just smiled and asked, "Could it be that Li Changshi also wants to meet the emperor? "

The two looked at each other and smiled, neither said a word, each with their own thoughts, walked towards the hall side by side.

What they didn't expect was that it was not just the two of them who came to see His Majesty today. The hall was already full of people, comparable to a morning court.

When he discovered that there were more people with the same thoughts as himself, the two people who were not friends at first, instead united in order to consolidate their own interests. The two people who had their own ghosts just now unexpectedly stood together by coincidence.

When they entered the hall, Zhang Tang, the doctor of the censor, was talking to the emperor. After Xu and Li bowed to Emperor Wu, they retreated to the side.

"The humble minister is not talented, I hope I can share your majesty's worries."

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

So many courtiers are willing to share his worries, Emperor Wu is of course happy, but there is nothing to worry about in this competition, he just wants to find a county horse for Princess Rong An, this is a happy thing, where is the worry.

Emperor Wu laughed loudly, "Everyone's family is flat, I held this competition mainly to recruit virtuous ministers, and the scope of this competition is not limited to Chang'an, all educated people from all sides can participate. As for sharing worries, The topic of the competition was drawn up by myself, and the invigilator is Zhang Xiangkun, who is currently in charge of the competition, so it is not complicated."

Zhang Tang didn't give up, the more casual Emperor Wu said, the more he felt that there must be a deeper meaning in it, perhaps related to the selection and appointment of important officials, and the emperor said it was a competition of essays, not a competition of martial arts, Zhang Tang was sure This position is a clerical position.

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

The rewards of the competition will be revealed to the world sooner or later, of course there is no need to hide it, "I will reward the contestant who wins the Biwen Contest in person. Apart from the jade pendant, there are also two mysterious prizes."
