Chapter 1181 Gold Medal
At the right time, Shen Hao arrived outside the gate of the palace, and handed over his waist card to be passed on to others. But who would have thought that the guards at the gate didn't make him wait, but directly led him into a sedan chair placed beside him, and then several stout eunuchs carried the sedan chair forward quickly.
Before Shen Hao could open his mouth to ask questions, the Forbidden Army who followed the sedan chair explained first: "Master Shen, don't ask, this is His Majesty's order."
Well, just follow along honestly.
All the way forward, although Shen Hao hadn't entered the palace a few times, he still knew some roads. Looking out from the corner of the sedan chair curtain, he found that the road he was walking now seemed to be different from the previous few times he came here.
Wanted to ask, but didn't ask. It's just that the perception has been opened up a lot, and the subconscious mind is a little more vigilant.
But soon Shen Hao realized that he was worrying too much and was a little too nervous. Because although I didn't choose the usual way to enter from the palace gate, I still went to Fu'an Palace behind Wanmin Palace for the same destination. It's just that this time he didn't go through the main entrance, but entered through the side entrance of Fu'an Palace, and the eunuch Shen Hao knew the way last time led the way.
"Your Majesty is in a bad mood today, Master Shen, please be careful."
"Well, thank you servant for reminding me."
This is a good relationship that was formed before, and now it has paid off. Although it is not very important, sometimes this seemingly innocuous reminder can save lives.
When I saw the emperor again, he was wearing loose robes, and there was obvious moisture on his body. He should have just come out of the warm soup behind him. Seeing Shen Hao coming in to salute, he didn't say anything, he waved his hand, pointed to a stool next to him, and signaled Shen Hao to sit down and said.
This was the first time Shen Hao was given a seat when he met the emperor, not to mention, it was a bit unexpected. After all, with his rank, it is already considered a blessing to face the saint alone, let alone being granted a seat.
But it can also be seen from the eyebrows that the emperor is indeed in a bad mood.
"I heard that Lu Liang's matter was done by you yourself?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"very good."
When Yang Shu saw Shen Hao, who sat on the stool with a little buttocks respectful, he became more and more pleasing to the eye. He just said to let Shen Hao do the knife himself, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually send Lu Lingliang for the last time. Most people would like to avoid such dirty things.
What does this mean? Explain that in terms of completing tasks, Shen Hao is very honest and will never cut corners or play tricks. In Yang Shu's view, it is not too much to say that Shen Hao's attitude is straightforward.
Straightforward? If Shen Hao knew that Yang Shu's evaluation of him would be like this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"The authority of the Black Flag Battalion has indeed played a role in your hands. This time, the Qin family in Jingbei and Lv Lingliang, who eat inside and out, were discovered by you in a timely manner. You Black Flag Battalion have done a lot of credit for the clean-up campaign against the evil cultivators.
Tell me, what reward do you want? "
What's the situation? When I first came up, I was full of praise, and then I asked what reward I wanted? If this is really going to reward you, then it's over, who would dare to really open their mouths to ask for it in front of you?
So Shen Hao followed the practice of "be honest" and "be cautious", stood up and bowed and said: "I just did what I was supposed to do, and I can't afford to be praised by His Majesty, let alone ask for any reward."
The corners of Yang Shu's lips turned up, and he said, "Didn't you Xuan Qingwei always advocate the distinction between rewards and punishments? Why? Are you worried that I won't be able to reward you?"
"The minister is terrified!"
After waving his hand, Yang Shu continued: "It stands to reason that you are the most suitable age to give you a marriage. However, the late emperor did not have a suitable palace lord to stay, and my daughter is too young. What's more, you are married, so Can only change the same.
This is a bit difficult. I heard from Pang Ban that you are the owner of the Zhangjia Wine Shop, and that Gemei air conditioner was created by you behind the scenes. In just a few years, you are richer than some hundred-year-old families, so you don't think much of rewarding money, right? "
What can Shen Hao say? The old saying often says that wealth is not revealed, but it turned out that "there is no wall that does not leak in the world". The emperor found out all his details, at least he had nothing to hide from the emperor about his family wealth.
"In terms of cultivation resources, you have joined the disciples of the two ancestors and become a mantle disciple. Naturally, there will be no shortage. Tsk, it's only after such a stroke that I realize that you are very good at it!"
Shen Hao only knelt down on one knee and didn't dare to speak at all. God knows if this person is losing his mind today. Those words made people feel hairy, and he couldn't figure out the context. He didn't know what he wanted to do.
When Shen Hao was puzzled, he heard the emperor with a more obvious smile on the other side continue to speak.
"What's left is the title, I'll give you a rank to save some face. In addition, I heard that you are eager to learn, especially all kinds of essays, interesting things, travel notes and autobiography are your favorites, but how many interesting things are there in Xuan Qingwei's library? In terms of extensiveness, the Royal Library of the Kingdom Dynasty and the Library Pavilion of Fenghong Villa are the two sides. Go to Fenghong Villa and ask King Yongsheng for your convenience. I can read the Royal Library at my side."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, an eunuch beside him bowed in front of Shen Hao holding a tray. On the tray was a gold medal with exquisite patterns and a strange-shaped "book" character.
"This golden book plaque allows you to travel unimpeded in the Royal Library Hall." The smile on the emperor's face did not restrain, but was bright, as if he was very satisfied with his reward this time.
Shen Hao knelt on the ground on one knee, took the gold medal in the tray with both hands, and thanked him.
This thing was beyond his expectation. Rewarding the title directly to the first rank is barely acceptable. The gold medal for the Royal Library was never thought of beforehand. Can this be used as a reward?
But if you have to say it, this gold medal is really in Shen Hao's hands.
A place like a library is a place where knowledge can be installed to change cognition. The library of Xuan Qingwei is like this, the library of Wanjuan Shushan is like this, and the library of the royal family is bound to be the same.
It's just a pity that although some secrets are also in the library, it is not easy to see them. There are different thresholds.
For example, the book "The Strange Land" that Shen Hao read under the care of Xuan Tianqing on Wanjuan Shushan had a reading threshold. If it weren't for Xuan Tianqing's care, Shen Hao would not be able to see it. . This principle is the same everywhere.
Now that he has won the gold medal of the Royal Library, he does not expect the content in it to be richer than the library in Wanjuan Shushan, but he hopes that he can see more content about "evil beasts" in it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity!"
"Well, do your job well, and I won't treat you badly. Step back."
"The minister will leave!"
That's the end of it? Shen Hao frowned slightly after bowing and exiting. He felt that his trip to the palace at night seemed unusual in every way.
