Chapter 701 Asking for Credit(1/2)
Wangfu Study Room.
Li Guoer's movements of petting the cat paused slightly, and he frowned and looked sideways:
"Ouyang Lianghan, why are you looking at me like this?"
Ouyang Rong shook his head and did not answer.
Wei Mei on the side smiled happily and said:
"The giant Buddha was successfully built. As the governor of Jiangnan, Qilang has already secured his share of the credit. Now that Tanlang has uniquely designed the 'Golden Light Auspiciousness', it shouldn't be difficult to return to the capital. Tanlang is really safe.
"
Ouyang Rong shrugged helplessly:
"If I say I didn't mean it, would you believe me?"
The faces of Li Xian's family were indeed dubious.
Ru Lixian and others even looked at him with weird smiles, as if to say they understood him, well, everyone understood.
Only Li Guo'er looked at his subtle expression carefully, seemed to have thought about it seriously, and suddenly said:
"Even if there is some element of deception, it is still personal luck and your lucky number. God will not favor a loser for no reason. You have this qualification, which is also part of your strength. You should take it. There is no need to be modest."
Facing the crowd, Ouyang Rong pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head in front of them:
"No, this golden auspiciousness is not my credit, it belongs to the prince."
Li Xian was a little confused and pointed at himself: "Ah? My king?"
Ouyang Rong nodded: "Well, let's just say...it's the prince's plan and it all depends on the prince."
Li Xian wanted to speak but stopped.
The faces of Li Guo'er, Li Dalang, Wei Mei and others around them were either thinking, suddenly enlightened, or their eyes lit up.
Li Dalang asked with a complicated expression:
"What Tan Lang means is to give the credit to the father and concentrate the bargaining chips, so that our palace will have a greater chance of leaving Xunyang City and returning to the capital? Is that so?"
Ouyang Rong nodded calmly.
Wei Mei was surprised and moved:
"Tan Lang really considers the overall situation, but this is your credit. Although we don't have to see each other for a long time, wouldn't this be bad?"
Li Bao'er was silent, lowering her head and petting the cat. There was something in her arms, her furry head stretched forward, and her pair of beady eyes kept looking at Ouyang Rong curiously. She didn't know what she was expecting.
What is surprising is that Li Xian suddenly shook his head and said:
"No, this is inappropriate. I, the king, cannot shamelessly take credit for Tanlang's achievements."
He turned his head and said to Wei Mei and others who were about to admonish:
"The Queen Mother actually knows exactly what I am capable of and how much ink is in my belly. The princes in the court also know it clearly. There is no need to do this. I don't want to be embarrassed, so I still took away the Tan Tan.
Lang’s contribution is even more incredible.”
"Are these your main worries..."
Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and murmured, thought for a moment, and improved:
"That's it, it's the prince who will take the credit for the golden light and auspiciousness. But then let's change the explanation and say that the location where the Donglin Giant Buddha landed was what the prince dreamed of one day. It was guided by gods or auspicious beasts. The dream
After waking up, the prince gave me some advice... so everything went smoothly.
"When the time comes to celebrate the victory, if the prince can make this fairy's dream more mysterious and exciting, it will be a good luck. Your Majesty will definitely like it."
Ouyang Rong became more fluent as he spoke and gave some suggestions.
After listening to this, Li Xian still shook his head firmly:
"No, no, this is Tanlang's credit, there is no need to give it to me. In fact, the factor just now is only one of them, the second is..."
King Xunyang paused.
Ouyang Rong asked curiously: "What is it?"
Li Xian couldn't help but look at Ouyang Rong a few more times before speaking:
"The second is that the female historian named Rong Zhen is obviously on good terms with Tan Lang and wants to promote Tan Lang. She will definitely give Tan Lang a good word in front of the Queen Mother.
"Rong Zhen's female history was fully involved in the construction of the Xunyang Grottoes. She can easily expose our dream creation."
Ouyang Rong didn't expect this, and his brows furrowed.
Li Dalang took the initiative and said to Xi Ni: "This is to be decided in advance, there is no rush..."
Ouyang Rong looked at Li Xian's insistent attitude and didn't mention the matter for the time being.
He glanced at the sky outside, lowered his head and took a sip of hot tea.
Li Dalang took the initiative and said:
"Miss Xie may not be able to come back for a while. Tan Lang doesn't have to stay with us specially. He can go find her and tell her the good news."
He held back his laughter:
"Tan Lang doesn't know that in the past few days when you were away, Miss Xie went out every day to visit Mrs. Zhen at the Huaiye Lane mansion, and also went to Yan Liulang every day to ask about things at the Xunyang Grottoes.
, sometimes I ask several times a day.”
Ouyang Rong glanced at him, but did not answer or get up to leave.
He gently put down the teacup in his hand and said:
"There is one more thing that we need to discuss and listen to the opinions of the prince and everyone else."
Li Xian was holding hands with Wei Mei, looking at each other tenderly. This time the Donglin Giant Buddha was completed and landed, and the sword that was pressed above the palace finally had a sword. At least there was no need to worry, because there were rebels and thieves in Tiannan Jianghu.
Unexpectedly, I couldn't pay the job and was scolded by the empress.
After hearing Ouyang Rong's words, Li Xian said gently:
"It's fine as long as Tanlang makes the decision."
Ouyang Rong said calmly:
"You still have to listen to everyone's opinions. In fact, it doesn't matter."
Li Guo'er asked: "What's the matter?"
With everyone watching, Ouyang Rong whispered:
"Ribbon-cutting ceremony. Rong Zhen and the others proposed to hold a completion ceremony, similar to a ribbon-cutting ceremony, on the day when the completion of the Giant Buddha is announced to the public. At that time, Xunyang officials and citizens will be invited to the scene to celebrate the landing of the Donglin Giant Buddha.
"In addition, we will also invite superb painters to draw the grand ceremony, and together with the golden auspicious picture of the Buddha's head at sunrise, send it to Luoyang and present it to His Majesty to win the dragon's smile."
Li Xian and others looked at each other in confusion.
After a while, Li Dalang sighed: "As expected of someone from the palace, he knows how to please my grandmother."
Li Guoer asked calmly:
"Who raised this matter first, and who currently agrees with it?"
Ouyang Rong glanced at her and said fluently:
"Rong Nushi was the first to propose it. Deputy Supervisor Song, Commander Yi, and Miaozhen Nushi agreed on the spot. Wei Mi, Duan Quanwu, Li Congshan and other generals also supported it."
"So, Ouyang Lianghan was reserved at that time. What were you worried about?"
Ouyang Rong was quiet for a moment and said:
"It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I have some conservative habits. This time I'm a little more high-profile. I don't really want to go there..."
Li Xian muttered:
"I think it is okay to hold a celebration ceremony, but we must be careful about Tiannan Jianghu. If we take the opportunity to cause chaos, it will be bad."
Ouyang Rong nodded directly and said:
"I mentioned this matter, and Rong Nushi said that she had considered it. From what I saw, she didn't look like she would take it lightly. Moreover, the Donglin Buddha has already landed, and the weakest period of the Xunyang Grottoes has passed...
"Well, it's not impossible for the Tiannan Jianghu rebels to come, but I can't figure out why they didn't come before. In Rong Nushi's words, now that the Buddha has landed, they are waiting for them to come. I wish they could bump into it..."
When Ouyang Rong said this, he shook his head slightly.
Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good, I don't have any objections. If I insist on one thing, I would like to invite fewer people to celebrate the ceremony. Don't have too many civilian officials. Don't let the original defense be confused by the crowd and make mistakes."
Ouyang Rong nodded: "Okay."
In fact, he had already mentioned this point of view to Rong Zhen, and the latter readily accepted it.
Li Guoer tilted his head and asked:
"What's interesting about this matter is the opinions expressed by the people at the Xunyang Grottoes. Ouyang Lianghan, have you considered why Rong Zhen held this celebration, and why did the others unanimously agree?"
Ouyang Rong glanced at her, and the two seemed to have a tacit understanding.
He nodded and said:
To be continued...
