Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three Bamboo Baskets
At noon.
Everyone knew that Du He had returned safely.
After hearing the news, Changsun Wuji and Chen Shuda said happily: "When Du He comes back, Your Majesty should start awarding awards. Originally, I was not interested in such things, but Chong'er was lucky enough to get the first place, so of course I have to give it to him."
To save face, as a father, I still need to go there in person."
Chen Shuda nodded: "What Mr. Changsun said is absolutely true. Quanzi Xiande usually idles around, but I didn't expect that this time he got the fifth grade. It also added some face to me. It's gratifying. I just didn't know that Your Majesty will do it this time."
What is the reward for?"
Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and said: "This time, the top three will all receive awards, but only the first place will receive the most generous awards. In addition to the usual rewards such as gold, silver, jade and silk, it is said that His Majesty is also planning to give the first place to the young talent.
I have prepared a generous gift, but I don’t know what it is.”
Chen Shuda hurriedly said: "Let's go now, otherwise we won't have time to see Mr. Changsun receive the award."
"What you said is absolutely true!"
The two of them left the camp with joy and walked forward.
…
In another camp.
Changsun Chong, Fang Yiai, Gao Jixiong, Chen Xiande and others gathered together, full of laughter and laughter.
Fang Yiai said: "Congratulations to Brother Zhangsun for winning the first place. Now His Majesty will soon reward the top three hunters. I heard that when Du He came back, he didn't even bring back a hare, but instead brought an injured deer. Now
Everyone is laughing at his name as the Great Demon King, which is so flashy and unrealistic. He went out for a day and a night, but came back empty-handed, which made people laugh out loud."
The people next to him agreed.
"That's right, how can Du He compare with Brother Changsun? That guy is just a savage. He left the good Huyi County uncle to build the Imperial College and built houses for the victims. He is really self-indulgent. Now hunting during the Mid-Autumn Festival,
It’s clear who wins and who loses, Brother Changsun is the well-deserved number one!”
"Brother Changsun is so powerful that he can bring order to the world with his writing skills, and his martial skills can immediately kill the enemy and shake up the world. He is a genius that has never been seen in the history."
"Yes, yes, genius!"
Changsun Chong was so praised that he felt like he was going to heaven.
In fact, only he himself knows how his first place came about.
To put it simply, for this first place, he paid 5,000 yuan, totaling 500,000 yuan.
Yesterday's hunting, Changsun Chong and his subordinates took less than ten prey in total. The others were all purchased privately. Many children from aristocratic families knew that they could not get the first place, and they could not compete with Changsun Chong.
So they all sold their prey to Changsun Chong. Not only could they get a sum of money, but they could also please Changsun Chong, so why not do it.
After being flattered by others, Changsun Chong walked with a smile on his face, feeling like an immortal. When a few people arrived at the camp, they saw that everyone else had arrived.
The civil and military ministers and the heirs of the aristocratic families all stood quietly, as if waiting for something.
Look at Li Er again, sitting at the top, looking neither sad nor happy.
When Changsun Chong and others saw it, they quickly packed up their clothes and stood behind.
At this moment, the chamberlain Zhao Yang shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty, Bo Duhe of Huyi County is outside the account, requesting an audience."
Li Er nodded.
"Meet the Bo of Xuanyi County!"
Wow.
The curtain of the big tent was suddenly opened.
Sunlight poured in from outside, making many people unable to open their eyes. It turned out that there was a group of Imperial Guards in bright armor standing outside, and the sunlight reflected by the goggles was very fierce.
Immediately, everyone saw a figure walking in with heavy steps in the sunshine.
When the curtain closed, everyone saw clearly that it was Du He.
Du He was wearing yesterday's bunt, but there was not a complete piece of cloth on his body. His face, hands, and legs were all injured.
Du He, who originally looked weak, now looked like a ferocious beast.
The people around him unconsciously made way for him. Du He faced everyone's gaze and slowly came to the front. Leng Jun couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Du He, has met you."
Li Er hummed and asked: "Du He, you strayed into the mountains last night to look for auspiciousness for me. Did you encounter any danger?"
Everyone was stunned.
Du He was also stunned.
Du He thought to himself, what auspiciousness? What about straying into the mountains?
He didn't believe that Li Er didn't know what happened last night.
Looking up and seeing Li Er's serious face, Du He thought to himself, isn't it just acting? This young master even won first place in drama performance when he was in the first grade.
So he bowed and said: "Although I encountered a lot of dangers, fortunately I have Lu Bu to help me, so it won't be a problem."
Li Er nodded: "As long as it's okay, that's okay. Come and bring the auspiciousness that Du He is looking for for me."
Du He looked confused.
What bullshit auspiciousness?
Just when he was confused, he saw Zhao Yang coming forward with two eunuchs carrying a cage.
In that cage was the little elk that Du He brought back.
When everyone saw it, they all became excited.
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Kong Yingda said excitedly: "Hey, the deer roars, eating the grass in the wild. I have a guest, the virtuous voice of Kong Zhao. He treats the people with disdain, and a gentleman is effective. I have a wine, and the guest style is Yan Yiao... Your Majesty, since ancient times
Nowadays, those who can get deer are all saints. Now that the uncle of Huyi County has found such auspiciousness for Your Majesty, it is a sign that our country will be at peace in the Tang Dynasty, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and your Majesty will build great achievements."
The crowd praised him again.
Li Er turned to look at Li Chunfeng next to him.
Li Chunfeng said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I watched the sky last night. At midnight, dark clouds suddenly covered the moon and the starry sky was dim. At this time, a star suddenly appeared and the dark clouds dispersed. I think this auspicious star is a star, and it can bring great benefits to the Tang Dynasty."
It brings blessings.”
After Li Er heard this, his mood suddenly improved.
Li Er laughed and said, "Du He, thank you for your hard work."
Du He replied: "Du He works harder!"
With that said, Li Er stood up and said: "Bo Duhe, Huyi County, has made great achievements in searching for auspiciousness. I will write down the merits first, and when the work-for-relief work is completed, I will reward him together."
Du He thought: "MMP!"
At this time, Changsun Wuji hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, we will not discuss Du He's meritorious service for the time being. Now that noon is approaching, I would like to ask Your Majesty to reward the young soldiers who hunted yesterday."
Changsun Wuji was worried that Li Eryi would be happy and forget about the hunt. Wouldn't his son take first place in vain?
When Chen Shuda and others saw it, they also expressed that they wanted Li Er to reward those who hunted yesterday.
After hearing this, Li Er said with a smile: "Okay, what you all said is true. I will now announce that the top three in this Mid-Autumn Festival hunt are Du He, Changsun Chong, and Qin Huaiyu!"
Wow.
Everyone was stunned immediately.
Changsun Chong sat down on the ground, and Nuonuo said to himself: "How is it possible...how is it possible, how could the first one fly away!"
