Chapter 343: Damn It's Brat
"Miss, please slow down..."
This was the voice heard by the nursing home of Andingbo Mansion, as if it came from the sky. When they looked up, they could only see a white shadow flashing past.
What just passed?
In the end, Su Qian hugged Xu Qing and landed steadily in the courtyard. Xu Qing, who was afraid of heights, put her arms around Su Qian's jade neck and shivered.
Su Qian looked down at Xu Qing: "Husband, how do you feel?"
Xu Qing hugged Su Qian even tighter: "No, no, my husband can't take it anymore..."
Su Qian lowered her head to look at the pale Xu Qing and said, "My husband will practice more in the future, and one day he will be able to overcome this fear of heights. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will become a huge weakness for my husband in the future."
When Su Qian put Xu Qing down, Xu Qing's legs were trembling uncontrollably, and her hands were tightly hugging Su Qian's slender waist to barely stand still.
I don't know if it's really such an exaggeration, or if he did it on purpose.
...
Xianwang Mansion
gazebo
The Xian Wang looked at the transcribed version of the three poems and three words on the table and nodded, and said with a laugh: "This kid really did not disappoint the king, especially this "Fisherman Aoqiusi" is well written."
Well, it's not well written, only this one can understand and understand its artistic conception.
The Emperor Chu who was sitting opposite King Xian was slightly taken aback. When he said just now that Xu Qing had won, his brother was not too moved, as if it was a certainty that Xu Qing would win this round. .
It wasn't until he said that Xu Qing had written three poems and three words that Brother Huang was amazed.
Could it be that this imperial brother has so much confidence in Xu Qing?
The Emperor of Chu looked at King Xian and said, "Brother, if Xu Qing has surpassed Kuangzhou in poetry this time, it means that Chu State has surpassed Zhao State in poetry. This is a great achievement, and how should we reward it?" ?”
How to reward is a question, and winning Zhao on behalf of Chu is indeed a great achievement!
Be a big reward!
Xu Qing was already a County Boss at a young age, and if his rank rose further, he would be a County Marquis.
Not even old enough to be crowned county marquis!
If this is the case, I am afraid that it will soon reach the point where there is no seal and no reward.
This is not a good omen, if it really reaches the point where there is nothing to be awarded and no reward to be rewarded, then it is a master of high merit.
Even if the Emperor Chu and the Xian King trust Xu Qing, sooner or later the court will have voices and actions that are unfavorable to Xu Qing because of the jealousy of some people.
The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them.
This is the reason why the Chu Emperor and the Xian Wang repeatedly lowered Xu Qing's rewards.
The Xian King thought for a while and said: "If Xu Qing's merits are overwhelmed, he will not be able to be promoted easily. How about this? Xu Qing's father-in-law is the magistrate of Anding County. After a year or two, he will be promoted to Governor of Jingzhao, and Xu Qing's contribution will be credited to him for the time being, Xu Qing is a smart person and will know our intentions."
Emperor Chu nodded: "I have already investigated Su Jiyuan. He is a clean and honest official. During his tenure, he puts the people first. He has been a county magistrate for more than ten years and has never been promoted, so the court should use such a talent."
At this moment, a man in black clothes came in from outside, bowed and said: "See you, Lord, see Your Majesty!"
King Xian nodded and said: "Get up, how is the matter going?"
The man in Xuanyi said: "For all the betting markets in the capital, bet on Anding County Bo wins, one pays fifteen, one bets Kuangzhou wins, one pays two, Anding County Bo wins one game, a total of 16,000 taels of silver, Kuangzhou one game , the pressed silver is 487,000 taels, after deducting the compensation for the silver taels, the palace will gain 247,000 taels of profit."
King Xian nodded: "This king knows, you should step back."
When the man in the black robe retreated, the Emperor of Chu looked at King Xian, and said in surprise, "The County Boss of Anding pays fifteen for one, and Kuang Zhou pays two for one?! With such an opening, the emperor is not afraid that if Xu Qing fails to win, the emperor Brother will die?!"
That's right, Kuangzhou pays two for one pressure, and Anding County Bo pressures one for fifteen, and all three countries know that Zhao State's poetry skills are stronger than Chu State's.
But there are 480,000 taels of victory over Kuangzhou!
It's a good thing Xu Qing won, if Xu Qing lost to the emperor brother, wouldn't he have to pay more than one million taels? !
This can be regarded as a gamble of the fate of the country for Chu, which is not rich at all!
Brother Huang just opened the betting market in the capital without telling himself? ! It's such a big bet!
King Xian looked at Emperor Chu's eyes that had never seen the world and said, "What are you afraid of? Didn't this king win the bet? Now that the national treasury is not rich, an extra two hundred and forty thousand taels can relieve the urgent need."
Chu Huang said: "Brother Huang, you are sure that Xu Qing will win?"
King Xian took a sip of tea and said, "This is natural."
The Emperor Chu asked, "Why is Brother Huang so determined?"
King Xian said: "Based on what I know about him, Xu Qing would not have agreed to this competition so readily if he hadn't had a 100% chance of winning. Moreover, Jiang Xiang and Qin Xiang had solemn faces for a few days after they agreed to the competition. However, Xu Qing has always been happy and happy as usual."
Chu Huang: "Can't it be because this guy is heartless?"
King Xian coughed and said: "You might as well think about it again when I asked him to give his birthday speech at the queen's birthday banquet, he was trying to evade it in every possible way at the beginning, but he agreed to this competition. He didn't hesitate, even if you said he was defeated and wanted to marry Miss Chengdong Qiao to him, he still didn't hesitate."
Chu Huang: "Can't it be because maybe he likes this kind of tune?"
King Xian: "Hiss, are you sincerely arguing with this king?"
Emperor Chu: "This is clearly a reasonable speculation."
King Xian: "A elder brother is like a father! Do you dare to talk like that to your father?!"
Emperor Chu: "Since the elder brother is like a father, and the father of the elder brother is not dead yet, why did the throne fall to my head?! You are the emperor!"
While the two were arguing, the man in black came over again, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to understand."
King Xian stopped arguing with Emperor Chu, sat upright, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The man in black said: "Your Majesty, just now there is news from the gambling market outside the capital, that someone bet one hundred thousand taels, and the next round is Bosheng in Anding County."
The Xian Wang almost didn't come up immediately, and asked quickly: "Who is suppressing it?! Go and find out for this king!"
The man in Xuanyi said: "It has just been found out that the person who made the bet is the housekeeper of Uncle Anding's residence."
King Xian suddenly clenched his fist, and smashed it on the stone table, and the stone table was instantly scattered into a pile of rubble: "Damn it, you brat, the fleece was picked up on this king's head!"
