Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 37

"My husband was still wondering just now. Hehe, I asked Aunt Su, but Aunt Su didn't say anything. Your Majesty invited me to come here, isn't it just a gathering?" Ge Shuyu asked with a smile, waiting for an explanation. Looking at Gu Qinghua with a puzzled expression.

Shao Qing looked sideways and couldn't help frowning slightly, the corners of Mu Tiannan's mouth twitched in disdain, and Su Jun pursed his lips and smiled faintly.

Gu Qinghua covered his mouth and giggled generously, feeling confused, why did Ge Shuhui send such a two hundred and five prince here, what can such a person do?Could it be that I and Xianglin guessed wrong?After being confused, he secretly became vigilant, what if his guess was right?Then his words and deeds can only be described as "illusion". If this is the case, this person's plans are probably better than Mu Tiannan's!

"Your Majesty?" Gu Qinghua's thoughts were still intertwined, and Ge Shuyu's confused voice came again.

Gu Qinghua returned to his senses in a daze, glanced at him, glanced across the crowd, and said with a smile: "I have something unresolved, and I want to discuss it with everyone—well, discuss it!" Seeing that the four people were all listening intently, Gu Qinghua continued Said: "It was announced to the world that day, and you all know that I selected the four of you as the emperor's husbands in the selection of all the candidates, but I never separated the main emperor's husband and the side emperor's husband. I think this is my only family affair. , then refuted the reply from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, you have all entered the palace today, I want to listen to the opinions of the four of you, who do you think is more suitable to be the husband of the emperor, how about it?" With a slight smile, he swept across the four of them.

The four of them couldn't help taking a breath, even though the clouds and wind had always been as light as Su Jun's, their eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, and subconsciously raised their eyes to glance at Gu Qinghua.Mu Tiannan was as surprised as he was. Before entering the palace, the king of politics had a secret conversation with him, telling him that after entering the palace, he must cultivate his power as soon as possible, and then try to find a way to win the position of the emperor's husband. Unexpectedly, today is the first time he enters the palace. One day, Gu Qinghua threw this big piece of bait over, and said, let the four of them discuss and decide on their own, how important the position of the emperor's wife is, isn't this a joke!Or, is she testing?
Mu Tiannan and Su Jun were still wondering in their hearts, but Ge Shuyu had already screamed out, stammering with staring eyes, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty means—let, let the servants wait for me, and choose the real emperor by myself." Husband?" There has never been such a precedent in all dynasties, shouldn't this be the emperor's direct decree?
Gu Qinghua smiled sweetly, raised his smooth chin slightly, and said with a giggly smile: "Exactly! Each of you four has a vote, and you four vote, and the one who gets the most votes will be the emperor's husband!"

Instead of letting them intrigue and fight openly and secretly, it is better to simply throw out the bait openly, and take this opportunity to take a good look at everyone's temperament.

In the face of huge profits, this is a naked temptation, and she doesn't believe how many people can resist this temptation.What's more, the success or failure of each of them also involves the ebb and flow of the various forces behind them. She doesn't believe that they will give in to each other. Smelly shoes and rotten eggs!
"Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette. Please take it back." Shao Qing arched her hands and said with a slight frown.He is really not used to this kind of naked struggle for power!

"You are not joking!" Gu Qinghua raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said: "Besides, in my opinion, the four talents, appearance, education and family background are all impeccable, and everyone should be a real emperor's wife, but this is the real emperor's husband. But there is only one, so it would be best for the four of you to choose one who can convince the crowd!" These words praised everyone, and no one could shirk it anymore.

Shao Qing was startled, and lowered her eyebrows in thought. It sounds like—it also makes sense.

"Are you ready?" Gu Qinghua smiled, turned his head to the side and ordered Xianglin: "Pass the pen and ink to serve!"

Xianglin bent her knees and answered "Yes", swayed her waist lightly, moved her lotus steps lightly, slowly got down from her seat, and turned to the back of the hall. After a while, she led four little maids in light green palace attire with double hairpins to come out , one of them was holding a small lacquered wooden plate with pen, ink, paper and other things on it, the four of them stepped forward and gently placed the small plate on the mat in front of the four of them.

Gu Qinghua smiled and said: "If you think about it, write down the name of the person you choose! The imperial decree has been drawn up," Gu Qinghua said, raising the imperial edict of the bright yellow dragon pattern before shelving the case, with a charming voice again Sweet and soft: "As soon as the result comes out, fill in the blank space of the name and tell the world!"

This sentence undoubtedly added fuel to the flames, the hearts of the four of them jumped "suddenly", and their expressions became a little more dignified, only then did they understand that Gu Qinghua was not joking.

The four of them sat in a dignified manner, staring at the snow-white rice paper and the thick black ink in front of them, concentrating on it. A few strokes weighed a thousand catties, and no one dared to write lightly.My mind is spinning rapidly, weighing and pondering, how to choose to maximize the benefits for myself.

In fact, although the four of them hadn't written anything yet, Gu Qinghua could already foresee the result of the vote. Even those four, after thinking about it for a while, knew who was the best choice.

As a foreigner, Ge Shuyu didn't have any hope of winning. He only hoped that no one from the Su family would be selected. If the Su family were to lose the election, he would have to support one of the remaining two. Comparing with Mu Tiannan Looking at it, Shao Qing, who is upright and doesn't hide his emotions, is obviously a better candidate.

What about Mu Tiannan?With his toes, he also understands that although Gu Qinghua speaks generously, he may not really value himself. Moreover, Qingliu and the Mu family don't quite match each other, and Su Jun's father is even more jealous of the king of politics. The person who applied for the Queen's Husband was considered to have joined the Queen's camp, so naturally he would not help him. He was sure that none of these three people would vote for him. Take a gamble and vote for Ge Shuyu. If Ge Shuyu wins, he may not be able to stand up in this palace as a foreigner. At that time, there is no way to force him to cooperate!

Like Ge Shuyu, Su Jun voted for Shao Qing.Of course, he doesn't have the thoughtfulness of Ge Shuyu, he just thinks that Shao Qing is the most suitable in terms of "both ability and political integrity", and honest people usually deal with things more justly, and more importantly, he doesn't ambition...

As for Shao Qing himself, after much deliberation, he felt that Ge Shuyu was a foreigner and could not be chosen; There are no forces involved in the capital, and his net worth is relatively clean. Moreover, from the look of his demeanor and temperament, this person is gentle and refined, and treats others kindly and calmly, not like a treacherous or evil person!

As a result, Gu Qinghua finally received two votes from Shao Qing, one vote from Su Jun, one vote from Ge Shuyu, and zero votes from Mu Tiannan. Shao Qing won.

After the dust settled, Gu Qinghua's heart finally fell back into his chest.Everything went according to her expectations, but fortunately, there were no surprises.

The whole process was open and transparent, and if Mu Tiannan was selected, she didn't intend to regret it, but would plan it slowly in the future.Fortunately, she made a big bet this time, but she was right!

Gu Qinghua smiled slightly, announced the result, immediately took the imperial pen, tapped cinnabar, filled in the blank space of the imperial decree with Shao Qing's name in one go, threw the pen away, and laughed loudly: "Liu Zhongming, send the imperial decree to the Ministry of Rites immediately. The Minister of the Ministry of Rites and Zhao Shi, Minister of the Honghe Temple, will announce the dismantling and reading, and announce the results to the world! Order the Ministry of Rites to quickly draw up an order, and the establishment of the emperor's husband is a great joy for the whole world. I want to pardon the world and reward all the ministers!" After finishing speaking, Tsinghua stepped down from his seat, and without hesitation pulled Shao Qing's arm, who was still in a daze, and laughed loudly: "The three of you, you haven't stepped forward to meet the emperor's husband!"
