Chapter 125 125 Destiny (first update)
Chu Qianhuang's eyes once again looked at Jialou beside the emperor without blinking.
All she could see in her eyes was the noble and holy monk in white in front of her, his eyes fierce and persistent.
Only she knew that in the distant future, the man in front of her would single-handedly unify the Central Plains and end the split between Northern Qi and Nanhao that had lasted for hundreds of years. The name of "Da Hao" would frighten all the barbarians and intimidate the eight countries.
During his reign, Dahao's territory surpassed that of the previous dynasty, and even Chidi was brought under Dahao's territory, creating the glorious "Kaiyuan Rule"!
The name of Wuhejia Tower will surely go down in history and become a wise king through the ages!
Bang bang bang!
Chu Qianhuang's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken, and her blood boiled. She told herself that as long as she could save him from his downfall, he would look at her differently.
With Uhagalou as her backer, she can definitely change her destiny!
Chu Qianhuang's eyes bloomed with an unusually bright look.
As for Chu Qianchen...
Chu Qianhuang glanced at Chu Qianchen who was not far away calmly.
So what if Chu Qianchen is now familiar with Jialou, Jialou will soon leave Daqi, and Chu Qianchen will be trapped in Prince Chen's Mansion. The two countries are thousands of miles apart, and she will never have the opportunity to interact with her in her lifetime. Garuda.
This is also true in dreams.
Thinking about it, Chu Qianhuang's heart gradually calmed down again, becoming elegant and dignified.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Crown Prince Gu Nanjin cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Father, Prince Wu He's men have extraordinary archery skills, and General Su Shen's swordsmanship is also rare. Each of them has his own merits."
Gu Nanjin tried to calm down the atmosphere, and what he said was right. In a real sword competition, Su Mubai might not lose to Tama.
The emperor's face remained as dark as water, suppressing the displeasure in his heart.
Originally, it was a happy event that Su Mubai won the first place in the martial arts test. In front of these foreign barbarians, he showed Daqi's military power, which was enough to add glory to today's Wanshou Festival, but it was disrupted by Wuhejialou.
The words Wuhajialou said just now echoed over and over again in the emperor's mind, making the emperor feel like he had a lump in his throat.
Obviously he is the emperor of Daqi, but in Wuhejialou's words, it seems as if everything in Daqi is Gu Jue's credit!
The more the emperor thought about it, the more displeased he became. The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he became. He held the folding fan in his hand tighter, and veins popped up on the back of his hand.
Su Mubai is indeed a talent, but he was promoted by Gu Jue after all. I am afraid his heart is also towards Gu Jue. No matter what achievements he has in the future, others will still mention Gu Jue and say that Gu Jue has the ability to recognize people. It was Gu Jue who trained and promoted Su Mubai.
The emperor's thoughts were confused, and when he looked at Su Mubai, his eyes became more and more sinister.
Suspicion, doubt, displeasure, hesitation, etc. are all there.
"Su Mubai," the emperor said with a stiff face, hiding his displeasure with an overly hearty smile, "you must continue to serve Daqi well and don't live up to the respect I have for you."
At first glance, the emperor's words seemed to be just routine polite words, but Su Mubai, as astute as he was, could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the emperor's expression.
Although Sumubai didn't hear what the emperor and Jialou said just now, he couldn't help but think deeply when thinking about Tama's killing two birds with one stone just now.
He once heard the prince mention Uhagalou, and the prince spoke highly of this person.
Based on Jialou's temperament, the arrow shot just now was probably not his provocation, but his response to the emperor... In other words, the emperor's talk with Nan Hao just now was not satisfactory.
Su Mubai narrowed his eyes, cupped his fists and said, "I would like to thank the Emperor for his teachings."
The emperor slowly fanned his folding fan.
Since Su Mubai won the first place in the martial arts test and brought glory to Daqi, he had to reward him, but he could not reuse him. Gu Jue's people must not be allowed to have the opportunity to stir up trouble.
The emperor quickly made a decision and said: "Su Mubai, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold and promote you to the commander of the five-city army and horse division."
The Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities is divided into five divisions: east, west, south, north and middle. Each department has a commander of the fourth rank. All commanders are in charge of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities and are of the second rank.
Su Mubai was promoted from a third-grade general to a second-grade commander. This was considered a triple jump.
If it hadn't been for this martial arts test, unless Su Mubai went to the battlefield and made great achievements, he might not have gotten such an opportunity even if he endured for seven or eight years.
Su Mubai immediately knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and accepted the order, "General, thank you for the emperor's reward!" Su Mubai's expression remained unchanged, looking unfazed by honor or disgrace.
There was a lively noise all around, and everyone else was talking about it. Some people couldn't hide the look of envy on their faces, and some people looked at Su Mubai with sympathy, seeing clearly that the emperor was trying to make a living. drop.
Although Su Mubai's rank seemed to have risen, in fact, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division was just a place to hang out and had no real power. Su Mubai was obviously tired of the emperor and was left idle.
Gu Nanjin frowned slightly, feeling it was inappropriate, but he couldn't stop it in public, as this would only anger his father even more.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor commended Saltuo and rewarded him with five thousand taels of silver and a Persian sword.
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor Daqi, for the reward!"
Saltuo thanked the emperor in a loud voice, which was sonorous and powerful, and resounding to the ground.
He and his clan members all shouted long live, sincerely and sincerely. This atmosphere seemed to be contagious. Others in the stands followed suit and shouted long live. The atmosphere in the school became lively again, and everyone was united.
The emperor's mood suddenly improved, and he felt quite happy to overwhelm the barbarians from all directions.
Gu Nanjin's brows furrowed even more tightly and he couldn't help but look towards Jialou. He saw him smiling and twisting the beads in his hand unhurriedly. His wise eyes seemed to understand all the cause and effect in the world.
Although Jialou didn't say anything, Gu Nanjin's heart sank little by little.
The father wanted to show off his national power in front of Nanhao. He thought that Wuhejialou was young and energetic, so he repeatedly provoked and wanted to dominate the situation. Instead, he failed to please Wuhejialou and allowed Wuhejialou to take the initiative. His father was even threatened by the other party's attack. The influence of a few words made Su Mubai feel grudge.
Su Mubai was originally a general, and the Nine Emperors Uncle was critically ill. Nan Hao and other foreign tribes were also watching the situation. Da Qi was hiring people. At this time, his father should have used talents in an eclectic way, but instead he let Suspicion took over, and Wuhejialou led him away.
Gu Nanjin sighed secretly: In the game between the two countries, his father lost, and he lost with shame, which made Nan Hao laugh.
Gu Nanjin rubbed his eyebrows, thinking that he would discuss with his uncle later on how to persuade his father.
Gu Nanjin glanced at the young minister of Guanglu Temple, and the young minister of Guanglu Temple went to ask the emperor if he wanted to sit down at the table.
The emperor nodded slightly, and then said to Jialou: "Prince Wuhe, it's almost time. Come to the table with me."
The emperor seemed to be smiling, but the smile was not as deep as his eyes, and it was obviously a bit of a forced smile.
Jialou accepted the promise, his attitude was gentle and polite, and despite the emperor's temptations and provocations again and again, he remained calm and unperturbed, making people confused.
The emperor and Jialou left the table, and Gu Nanjin and other distinguished ministers also stood up and left with the emperor surrounded.
Everyone else present bowed and saluted, and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor."
After seeing the emperor off, everyone else also dispersed. Chu Qianchen followed the third princess, Princess Chang Ning and others back to Fengluan Palace. Along the way, they talked and laughed. The topic was still around the martial arts test just now. Some people praised it. Some people praised Su Mubai's swordsmanship for Domo's ability to kill two birds with one stone, while others talked about his family friends who also participated in the martial arts test...
The little girls gathered around, talking a lot, talking like sparrows, until they entered Fengluan Palace, they all fell silent and did not dare to make any noise.
There were more people in Fengluan Palace than before the girls left. There were more than twenty jeweled women of different ages sitting there, all dressed in fragrant hair.
Familiar ladies gathered together in twos and threes to talk.
Mrs. Shen was accompanying Mrs. Mu Guogong and talking to Mrs. Shizi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. When Grandma Chen saw Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang coming back, she lowered her voice and reminded them: "The eldest and second maidens are back."
Mrs. Mu Guogong's face was filled with joy and she said, "I haven't seen Sister Huang for quite some time."
She raised her eyes and looked towards the main hall, and immediately saw Chu Qianhuang walking along the white marble steps to the eaves, smiling kindly. She has always liked this granddaughter and feels that she is just like her daughter when she was young, smart, generous and outstanding in learning.
"Huang..." Mrs. Mu Guogong was about to wave to Chu Qianhuang when she suddenly saw another girl in red behind Chu Qianhuang from the corner of her eye. Her eyes widened slightly and her eyes stopped on the girl.
The graceful girl, who was only about fourteen years old at most, slowly walked up the steps. The sunlight reflected on her bright face, and her pair of autumn-filled phoenix eyes captured people's attention at a glance.
When the wind blows, the girl's dress becomes wrinkled like water. The trees are full of flowers swaying, and a fine rain of petals falls. Occasionally, a few scattered petals fall on the girl's body, as if for She decorates her dress.
For a moment, Mrs. Mu Guogong seemed to see her eldest daughter before she got married.
Because of the question in the book review section, let me explain one more thing: Qianhuang just had a dream.
