system of princes and generals

Chapter 96 No One
Emperor Wu frowned tightly, and waved his hands, "You all step back."

Xu Zhang and Li Qing quickly got up from the ground. They originally thought that the emperor might be persuaded by them, but in the end they suddenly became angry. leave.

The two walked out of the palace, still didn't understand what they said wrong, they couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing, the emperor was suspicious, how could he not understand the truth of keeping tigers as a threat, today Xu and Li originally thought that even if they couldn't immediately change the emperor's reward Huo Guang Doctrine, will definitely make the emperor a little more suspicious of the Huo family brothers.

Unexpectedly, the emperor would be so furious in the end, making them tremble with fright.

Emperor Wu drove Xu Zhang and Li Qing away, but what they said still echoed in his mind.

He trusted Huo Qubing, and he was assured that Huo Qubing would go out for him with a large army in his hands, but now there is another Huo Guang, and if there is no dissent now, it does not mean that there will be no future.

Just like what Xu and Li said, Huo Guangneng is good at literature and martial arts, and the city is extremely deep. If such a person is kept by his side, Emperor Wu took a deep breath and subconsciously clenched his palms tightly.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from His Highness.

Eunuch Liu said softly, "Your Majesty, Princess Rongan is here."

Emperor Wu let out a soft "oh", and his frowning brows gradually eased, "Today is Rong'an's day to recruit a son-in-law, and I don't know what the result will be."

"The old slave heard that there is no good son-in-law that the Princess Rong likes among the children to be selected today, and the Princess Rong'an seems to have his own heart."

Emperor Wu pursed his lips and smiled, "Rong'an has only been back to Chang'an for a few days, and the high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an probably didn't recognize it all. How could there be a sweetheart? Hurry up and ask her to come in."

Eunuch Liu covered his mouth and snickered, "Oh, look at me, I'm making a fuss at this age, I'm going to invite Princess Rong'an into the palace right now."

Emperor Wu, who was a little annoyed by Huo Guang's appointment, felt a little joy in his heart because of the arrival of Princess Rong'an.

Emperor Wu's love for Princess Rong'an was not only that she was a heroine in the middle school, she guarded the northern border with her father since she was a child, and she never lost a single battle in countless battles, making the eight border tribes frightened.

Another important reason is that Rong An's father is Changming Marquis Linkui. Back then, the northern border was harassed by various tribes abroad, and the people had no means of living. They could only use marriages in exchange for short-term peace. Therefore, Emperor Wu sent Lin Kui to guard the northern border and conquer the eight tribes of the grassland. , Tax cuts for internal security.

But now that the old man has passed away, Emperor Wu is heartbroken, as if his left and right arms have been cut off. Marquis Changming has no son, only one daughter, Princess Rong'an, so Emperor Wu made an astonishing decision to let Princess Rong'an inherit his father's title.

This caused an outrageous disturbance at the time, and the ministers tried to prevent Emperor Wu's decision one after another. They wrote a lot of principles, but Emperor Wu was unmoved, and the monarchs and ministers were at a stalemate. In the end, they all gave in, and the princess could inherit the title of Marquis of Changming. But you must get married, recruit a county horse, and inherit the title on the day of the wedding.

Princess Rong'an, who was far away in Beiguan, was recalled to Chang'an.Emperor Wu personally selected a number of aristocratic children as candidates, first in the martial arts test, and then in the literary test.Huo Guang followed Huo Qubing's army back to Chang'an in the attic where he passed by on the way, and happened to be taking the essay test.

Emperor Wu met Princess Rong An when she was a child, and then Rong An guarded Beiguan with his father. After ten years, the little girl who used to be a young girl is now very graceful, remembering that she was a tomboy when she was a child, Emperor Wu thought of this Unconsciously smile.

After a while, Princess Rongan walked into the hall with light steps, her clothes fluttering and her body movements were light.

Rong An slowly lowered the veil, and there was a trace of pink halo on his fair face, his long black hair was combed into neat temples, his eyes were clear and energetic, his eyebrows and nose were trimmed, and even though he didn't wear makeup, it made his appearance even more prominent. She is beautiful and elegant, beautiful and not vulgar, full of heroic spirit.

"Rong An greets His Majesty."

Emperor Wu raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu had long heard that Princess Rong'an didn't show her true face since she came to Chang'an. She seldom went out on weekdays, and even when she went out she wore a veil. There were rumors in Chang'an that Princess Rong'an of Beiguan was so ugly that she was ashamed to show her true face. Show people.That's why I wear a veil all the time.

At first, he thought it was those people who were idle and gossiping. Today, when he saw Rong An enter the hall and take off his veil, he realized that the rumors were true, but why such a beautiful girl would rather carry the extremely ugly... Notorious, and unwilling to show people his true colors, Emperor Wu couldn't understand.

"In the past, there were rumors in the palace that Princess Rong'an of Beiguan never showed her true face. I thought they were making wild rumors. Seeing you take off your veil today, is it true that you are covering your face outside the palace?"

Rong An's cherry red lips moved slightly, "Return to Your Majesty, yes."

"Why?"

"No reason, just don't want to."

Hearing Rong An's short answer, Emperor Wu was stunned for a moment, and immediately burst out laughing again. This girl is just like his father, she always has her own style when doing things and speaking, not procrastinating, but has her own personality.As for why Rong An wore a veil, Emperor Wu couldn't get an answer. Only Rong An knew the reason, but he didn't reuse it.

Emperor Wu called Rong An back to Chang'an this time to choose a son-in-law for her, and today is the day when the last subject of recruiting a son-in-law is over, so Emperor Wu, who is also a matchmaker, is of course most concerned about Rong An's favorite person.

"The literary test ends today. Is there any noble son you like?"

Rongan said firmly, "No."

Emperor Wu opened his eyes wide and said in astonishment, "The people I selected for you are all noble in Chang'an City, have excellent character, and are versatile in both civil and military affairs? Isn't there anyone who can catch your eye?"

Although he knew in his heart that the rich children of noble families were somewhat lazy and sloppy, because they were pampered, but at least they were all handsome, not to mention all of them were talented and knowledgeable, but at least one or two would stand out.

I didn't expect Rong An to answer so decisively, no, not a single one.

Emperor Wu really took great pains in choosing his son-in-law for Rong An's sake. He searched almost all the children of nobles who were of the right age.Emperor Wu was also under pressure, forcing the nobles to hand over people, meaning, whether you agree or not, as long as you are liked, you have to go to Beiguan if you don’t want to, and give birth to a son with the surname of Changminghou’s family Surname, not negotiable.

It took so much effort to select him. The son-in-law Chenglong Kuai, who Emperor Wu thought was one in a thousand, was completely rejected by Rong An's word "no". Emperor Wu really couldn't accept it.

Reconciled and confirmed again, "With so many people, it's better to have one or two, right?"

Rong An was calm, bowed slightly neither humble nor overbearing, and lowered his head and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, there is indeed no candidate for the county horse that Rong An likes. They all have noble backgrounds, but they are talented in literature and martial arts, and have outstanding personalities. Rong An may not think so."
