Chapter 10: Undercurrents
"Look, my father slapped me again, and I am so happy." Huang Yingxiong also sat there grinning foolishly like his father
Greet the other woman? This Su Wenbo is also a... Fang Tang doesn't know what words to use to describe the leader of Youzhou
Tang Jingzong frowned slightly upon hearing that a secret letter had arrived
After Tang Jingzong finished speaking, he reconsidered.
"What! Is it not created by Huang Yingxiong?" A trace of surprise appeared on the young man's face
Having committed the crime of deceiving the sovereign, do you still believe you can survive
Escape? Why should I escape?
Is something happening in Youzhou
The imperial decree quickly spread from within the palace, and the prominent families and military clans in Chang'an City reacted to the news with disbelief: "What did you say? The young man from the Huang family actually composed a poem?"
All that has passed is gone; the remarkable figures of the past are but a memory; we must look to the present!
... ...
But what does it mean for you, Huang Yingxiong, to be on par with me, an emperor, alongside someone whose name I have never heard before
Will you never come back?
... ...
Within a secret courtyard in Youzhou, a furious voice erupted.
As the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, he must be informed of the situation in various regions at the earliest opportunity. However, under the governance of Emperor Tang Jingzong, the country is peaceful and the people are secure, with citizens not picking up lost items. It has already been a month since the last confidential letter arrived in Chang'an.
No wonder Huang Yingxiong has a penchant for slapping people; the source of this habit lies with Huang Ziqian
The unparalleled hero of his generation, Genghis Khan, only needed to draw his bow to shoot the great eagle
Tang Jingzong did not linger on this issue any longer, as he was eager to finish reading the subsequent content. However, as the poem progressed towards the end, Tang Jingzong's expression became increasingly remarkable.
Huang Ziqian had been grinning foolishly ever since he heard the news from the street that his son, Huang Yingxiong, could compose poetry. Although Huang Ziqian was aware of the entire sequence of events, he simply enjoyed others praising his son
At this moment, in a cheerful mood, Huang Ziqian gave his son Huang Yingxiong a slap on the head
However, after witnessing his father deliver another slap, Huang Yingxiong, who had grown up under Huang Ziqian's strict discipline, not only did not feel dejected, but even displayed a hint of pride on his face
Seated at the very center of the banquet, Su Wenbo, the governor of Youzhou, was gritting his teeth and glaring at Huang Ziqian with his chopsticks in hand
Please, Your Majesty, calm your anger, please calm your anger! The pleas for mercy from the eunuchs and palace maids did not appease Emperor Tang Jingzong; instead, they only served to exacerbate his fury
"Present it here." At the emperor's command, the eunuch respectfully delivered the yellow secret letter in his hand to Tang Jingzong.
But this is my home
"Still looking at today? What great ambitions could you, the Yellow Hero, possibly have?"
Although Su Yu was regarded as a talented woman by the talented young men of Youzhou, she was, after all, just a young girl who was one year older than Li Yuetong
Ah, I have just found out that the poem did not originate from the mouth of Huang Yingxiong, but was composed by a person named Fang Tang
The Huang father and son were laughing foolishly, while Su Wenbo had a toothache expression as he stared at Huang Ziqian, his fierce gaze seemingly intent on using Huang Ziqian as a target for his dental revenge
Sister, brother won't make an appointment! Really won't make an appointment!
All that has passed is gone; the figures of the past are but a memory, let us look to the present! What kind of courage must one possess to compose such a poem?
What did you say? Have you already sent the secret letter to Chang'an?
Regrettably, the Qin Emperor and Han Wu are somewhat lacking in literary talent
What a wonderful time to look at the present!
The emperor is angry, really angry.
Flee, the farther the better, escape before the Emperor discovers this matter, and remember to never return!
Tang Jingzong quickly opened the secret letter after receiving it, and upon reading the contents of the report, he smiled.
The intentional or unintentional gaze of Su Yu made Fang Tang feel uncomfortable. Although Su Yu looks good, he is too young.
The Youzhou Governor's Office can be regarded as the power center of Youzhou, where countless talented individuals aspire to gain the favor of Su Wenbo, hoping to leap over the dragon gate like a carp and reach the pinnacle of their lives
... ...
During the banquet at the governor's residence, a secret letter quietly arrived in Chang'an from Youzhou
Do you still want my throne, by any chance! Tang Jingzong slammed the table with both hands at this moment, and a loud noise made the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace kneel down one after another.
Although Tang Jingzong verbally praised Huang Yingxiong, the bulging veins on his hands indicated that he was on the verge of an outburst
What happened
That dandy Huang Yingxiong can actually compose poetry now
Your Majesty, a secret letter from Youzhou has arrived!" The sharp voice of the eunuch interrupted Emperor Tang Jingzong of the Tang Dynasty, who was attending to state affairs.
Su Wenbo was mumbling something under his breath, and Fang Tang couldn't help but take a quick glance at Su Wenbo's lips to translate what he was saying
However, we are fortunate to have entered the office of the Inspector, Fang Tang, who does not share this sentiment. The reason is that the atmosphere here is truly peculiar.
I wondered what the matter was, only to find that General Huang Ziqian's son, Huang Yingxiong, had composed a poem
"Is this poem truly from the mouth of Huang Yingxiong?" Tang Jingzong felt a hint of doubt; this poem, whether in its realm or its momentum, could absolutely not have been created by someone who only knows how to indulge in food, drink, and entertainment all day long
Emperor Tang and Emperor Song, somewhat flamboyant! I wish to ask the heroic Huang, how have I been flamboyant?
The Tang Emperor and the Song Ancestor, somewhat flamboyant
Who is this Song Zu? The emperor is the supreme symbol of a nation, and every emperor believes himself to be the favored one of heaven, the greatest emperor since the beginning of time
Beyond the Great Wall, all that remains is a vast expanse of wilderness
Please provide me with the detailed circumstances of this matter
Suddenly, a hidden current surged through the city of Chang'an
Huang Ziqian's manner of expression may be somewhat peculiar; regardless of whether he is happy or angry, he tends to slap himself.
Convey my decree, and let Huang Ziqian, the hero Huang, set off immediately to the palace to see me
From time to time, Su Yu's gaze drifted towards Fang Tang at the corner of the banquet, and Su Yu had yet to recover from the shock of the poem "Qinyuanchun".
... ...
Hurry and escape!
Do you still not understand? We serve His Majesty and must be loyal to Him. Presenting an incomplete report to His Majesty is tantamount to committing treason against the throne
Not bad, not bad
Is this really a poem created by that dandy, Huang Yingxiong? Tang Jingzong's worldview has been subverted by this poem titled "Created by Huang Yingxiong"
Curiosity about unfamiliar things is inherent to human nature, especially when faced with a person like Fang Tang, who is shrouded in secrets; it is difficult not to focus your attention on him
Huang Yingxiong's reputation as a dandy was already known to Tang Jingzong, but how high could the realm of a dandy truly be? Tang Jingzong initially intended to take a casual look, but once he did, he found himself unable to extricate himself.
The northern country's scenery, a thousand miles of ice sealed, ten thousand miles of snow drifting
... ...
Brother Wang, what should I do? The young man suddenly became flustered
That Brother Wang also fell silent for a moment before speaking
The great river flows up and down, suddenly losing its torrents
There is one last sentence: All that has passed, the remarkable figures of the past, still look to the present!
