system of princes and generals

Chapter 108 See you in three days (second update)

Emperor Wu laughed and said, "The second prince does not need to participate in this competition."

Huan Wuping frowned, his originally gentle face froze, "I don't know what His Majesty's words mean."

Emperor Wu originally wanted to leave a suspense and announce it on the day of the competition, so he only showed the jade pendant and did not say what the mysterious prize is, but since the matter has reached this point, he must give Huan Wuping an explanation, and casual rhetoric cannot justify it .

The ministers also faintly felt that the emperor was about to reveal the final mysterious reward. Everyone waited carefully with their ears pricked up, holding their breath, and the huge palace was completely silent.

"This competition is just for Princess Rong An's recruitment of a son-in-law. Although it is a competition of essays, it is actually to select a husband that Rong An likes. So the second prince does not need to take it seriously. If you want to discuss poetry and prose, there will be opportunities in the future."

The ministers were also taken aback, they didn't expect that the last mysterious reward would be Princess Rong An and the Beiguan fiefdom behind her.

Li Qing secretly glanced at Xu Zhang, who shook his head slightly and said nothing.

It's okay not to listen to Emperor Wu's words. After hearing Emperor Wu's words, Huan Wuping stood up suddenly, bowed and held his hands in his hands and said, "Wu Ping never expected that this competition would have such a mystery. Wu Ping had long heard that the princess of Rongan Princess was a hero. , I have admired him for a long time, and Wu Ping will definitely do his best to win this competition."

The corners of Emperor Wu's eyes twitched fiercely. He was not that concerned about who Ron An would marry and whether that person was really talented and learned. As long as Ron An was willing, that would be fine. But this person must be a Han man, because Ron An was destined to inherit the title. As a prince, if Huan Wuping stepped in, things would become more complicated.

Emperor Wu let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "But you haven't even seen Rong An's appearance."

The corner of Huan Wuping's mouth raised, "To tell you the truth, Wu Ping traveled around with his teacher three years ago, passing through Beiguan, and had a relationship with Princess Rong'an. The princess of Rong'an has a beautiful face and beautiful appearance, and she is beautiful."

Emperor Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, and pursed his lips.

Because after Rong An came to Chang'an, she always showed her face with a veil, and very few people had seen her real appearance. It was rumored in Chang'an that Princess Rong An's appearance was extremely ugly.Emperor Wu thought that he could use this reason to evade Huan Wuping, but he didn't expect that he would meet Rong An, and his heart sank.

"Since the second prince has met Rong An in Beiguan, he naturally knows that her father is Lin Kui, Marquis of Changming? Marquis Changming passed away, and Rong An will inherit his father's title, so this recruitment of a son-in-law is really a marriage."

"Joining?" Huan Wuping repeated softly.

Emperor Wu's brows stretched, thinking that since Huan Wuping was comfortable with Dahan's books, he naturally knew what it meant to be a matriarch. This was unacceptable to the natives of Dahan. Beiguan is equivalent to marrying a son-in-law who enters the door.Emperor Wu concluded that Huan Wuping would not agree.

Although Fujiwara is a rough man with little culture, he has a little understanding of Han culture after following Huan Wuping on weekdays, so he naturally understands the meaning of being married.

His eyes widened slightly, watching Huan Wuping's reaction.

Huan Wuping did not give in at all, and a magnanimity appeared on his elegant and fair face, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if Wuping can win the competition and win the favor of the princess, he will ask his father for instructions."

Emperor Wu's heart was suddenly relieved. Although Huan Wuping did not directly say that he was willing to marry into his wife, it was obvious that he could consider it, and marrying into his wife was not the reason that prevented him from participating in the Biwen Competition.

Emperor Wu remained calm on the surface, but in reality he was in a state of turmoil. He was already very irritated, so he did not get angry immediately because of his face. Huan Wuping acted as if he would not give up until he participated in the competition. Due to emotions and reasons, Emperor Wu did not want a visiting prince from the Japanese country to participate in this competition.

Naturally, everyone was happy to lose the competition, but looking at Huan Wuping's confident look, it really didn't look like he was just trying to win the competition.This is what Emperor Wu is most worried about.

What if Huan Wuping wins?Losing face is a small matter, but it is a matter of great importance to the national system.There was also Princess Rong'an caught in the middle, the more Emperor Wu thought about it, the more irritable he became.

He frowned directly and said, "In any case, the second prince cannot participate in this competition."

Huan Wuping was stunned for a moment, and a trace of anger flashed across his calm face, "Your Majesty obstructed Wuping's participation in the competition in every possible way. Could it be that he was afraid that Wuping would win and the students of the Han Dynasty would lose face? There are so many talented people in a great country, how could you be afraid of a man from Envoys from other countries, how ridiculous." After speaking, Huan Wuping sneered twice.

Fujiwara also laughed, "The emperor must know that my second prince is very knowledgeable, and he is afraid of losing too badly and lose face. It's okay, second prince, let's let them win a little."

Emperor Wu was furious, and he slapped the table with his big palm, making a loud noise, and the ministers who were still watching secretly shivered uncontrollably.

"Three days later, at noon, see you on the ring."

Huan Wuping raised his lips and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Huan Wuping and Fujiwara left peacefully.

But the hall could no longer be peaceful.

Emperor Wu fell into deep thought. For him, Huan Wuping's joining was definitely bad news.

As for the ministers, they didn't want the fat of Beiguan to be snatched by the second prince of the Japanese country. Even if Huan Wuping was willing to marry, the blood was always bad.Besides, they wanted the fief of Beiguan more than anyone else.

There was a war in Beiguan before, so no one was willing to guard it. However, in ten years, the Marquis of Changming ruled the land and it was a prosperous scene. The current Beiguan is no longer the Beiguan ten years ago.No one is not tempted by this bowl of ready-made broth.

Zhang Tang looked around, stood up first, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I think the Japanese prince is just a strong man, and he won't pose any threat. Besides, there are many talented people in our Han Dynasty, and there are many talented young people everywhere. How could a little prince win the first place?"

Li Qing quickly followed suit, "Yes, yes, why should the emperor worry about this matter, maybe that Huan Wuping has already been eliminated in the first round, and his being so arrogant is nothing but a shame."

The last time Princess Rong'an canceled the recruitment of a son-in-law for no reason, Li Qing was very sad for a while. Although he was married, Li Qing was very honored to have one of his sons become the county horse of Beiguan. Most importantly, It is said that Princess Rong An inherits the title, but she is a woman after all, and she always has to be a husband and a child, and the real power is not all in the hands of the county horse.Even if the first son born in the future bears the surname of Marquis Changming, the blood of their Li family will flow in his bones, and he will be an heir of their Li family who will inherit the title one day.

Not only Li Qing, the courtiers and nobles all have amazingly similar calculations in their hearts, so naturally they will not let the person he sent lose to the second prince of the Japanese country.They all came forward and boasted that they would never lose to the envoys of small countries.

Emperor Wu felt a little relieved that he couldn't show favoritism in this match, but even if Huo Guang couldn't win, as long as it wasn't Huan Wuping, even though Rong An was wronged, that's all he could do.

PS: Thank you Yan for rewarding the rudder master, thank you Mengmeng, Lianlian, and Yinyin for rewarding, okay?
