Chapter 221 Message
Lv Xianger did not tell Huo Qingsong what happened to him on his way to Dengzhou, but Huo Qingsong asked from Huo Bao. The next day, the ten guards escorting Lv Xianger disappeared. I learned from Huo Bao that they had returned to Beijing, but Lv Xianger didn't know what the purpose of Huo Qingsong was.
Of course, Lv Xianger didn't have the time to pay attention to Huo Qingsong's plan. Because she bought a new house, the reconstruction made her busy and had nothing to do. In order to rebuild the house as soon as possible, Li Feng and Mrs. Li did not contribute much and almost hired all the idle craftsmen in Dengzhou City.
Just as Huo Qingsong and Lu Xianger's new home was cleaned up and began to prepare for the wedding. An unexpected and shocking news came from Beijing Normal University. Huo Qingsong and Li Feng received secret letters from Song Beiqiao and Li Xingzhou respectively, and in the evening, they couldn't help but gather in Li Feng's study.
Mrs. Li and Lv Xianger sent a pot of tea to the three of them, so they left the study and went to the garden to talk. After Li Wenhao closed the door, the three people in the study, Li Feng immediately frowned and said in a low voice, "I believe that within ten days, the whole people of the Zhou Dynasty will know the news. But His Majesty suddenly made this decision at this time. What do you think of Qingsong?
"Duncle, the little nephew doesn't believe that the old prince didn't mention this in the letter. Why do you have to ask your little nephew?" Huo Qingsong was calm and drank tea leisurely, which made Li Feng smile and shake his head repeatedly.
Li Wenhao also smiled and recognized again in his heart that Huo Qingsong was a cunning fox. It can be seen that Huo Qingsong did not say anything, so he took the initiative to say on behalf of Li Feng, "The prince has been the 'prince' of the Zhou Dynasty since his majesty ascended the throne. It has been more than ten years. Your Majesty wants to abolish the prince. Since the prince does not object, I'm afraid the people behind the prince will not agree.
"What's the matter? Today, you are still your majesty, and the courtiers are also your majesty's ministers. If the other three princes are crowned queens and are willing to return to their fiefdom, as long as the prince is still sober, he will take the initiative to calm the hearts of those people and become a carefree king of Jianghuai. Huo Qingsong looked at Li Feng, who was listening carefully, and his eyes flashed. He continued to say, "Otherwise, not only the fate of the prince is unpredictable, but I'm afraid that Queen Yuan's vein will encounter something unexpected first."
When Li Feng heard the 'Queen Yuan's vein', he was slightly stunned. He immediately thought of the Yuan family, who had kept a low profile since the death of Empress Yuan. Speaking of the 'Yuan family', when the Empress Yuan was alive, it was the most beautiful family in the capital. The Yuan family was a big clan at that time in the previous dynasty, and because it supported the uprising of Emperor Taizu, it was valued by Emperor Taizu. Today, your majesty's teacher is from the Yuan family. After marrying the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, she finally became the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.
The Yuan family of "Emperor Master" and "Queen" came out, but after the "Emperor Master" and "Queen" passed away one after another, they kept a low profile. In addition to seeing the Yuan family around the prince, the Yuan family has gradually faded out of the vision of the Beijing master. However, after careful consideration, it can be seen that the Yuan family is low-key, but the children of the Yuan family are mostly in and out of the court. Although they are not high-ranking courtiers, you can know that the power of the Yuan family is still not small by looking at the positions held by the children of the Yuan family.
If it hadn't been for Li Feng's return to Beijing some time ago, he would have learned about some things in the court, and I didn't know the influence of the children of the Yuan family in the court. I don't know what he thought. Li Feng's face was slowly solemn, and his eyes looked at Huo Qingsong were very meaningful. Huo Qingsong did not refuse Li Feng's eyes and looked at him calmly.
Just as Li Wenhao couldn't stand the suppressed atmosphere in the study and was ready to speak, Li Feng said, and his tone was relaxed in an instant: "There is some truth in what Qingsong said. This world is your majesty's world. What is your majesty's decision? As long as we are ministers, we can do our duty."
"My uncle's words are reasonable, and Qingsong admires him." Seeing that Li Feng was not staring at this matter, Huo Qingsong was relieved and his face eased a lot.
Li Wenhao didn't know what Li Feng thought of, but he saw what he meant. He also smiled and said, "That's right, how the prince is and the prince doesn't have much to do with us. The most important thing for us at present is to prepare a grand wedding for Xiang'er. Otherwise, I'm afraid my grandfather will really come back to hold another wedding.
Thinking of Li Xingzhou's nature, it is really possible to do such a thing. Li Feng and Li Wenhao smiled helplessly. And a smile appeared at the corners of Huo Qingsong's mouth, and his eyes were full of Lu Xianger's shadow. In Huo Qingsong's heart, he really couldn't wait, looking forward to the coming of that day.
And the day before the wedding, the will of the court finally arrived in Dengzhou. Although Huo Qingsong was on marriage leave, he also went to the government office and felt the turmoil of the capital with the officials in Dengzhou. In their hearts, they are very glad that they are officials here and will not be implicated in the incident of 'Abandoned Prince'.
'The prince' is the crown prince, the future emperor. In case it is 'abolished', there is no possibility of being restored. Of course, the courtiers who had been the prince's ministers for more than ten years were unwilling. They gathered a crowd and ran to the palace to ask Zhao Changyuan to withdraw his will. As a result, naturally, after a bloody storm, some officials were dismissed, some officials were convicted, and the matter was finally settled.
Prince Zhao Chengyu's qualifications are mediocre. He has been in the position of 'prince' for more than ten years, and he has been abolished as 'prince'. However, it was also because the prince was too mediocre. Zhao Changyuan made the crown prince the king of Huainan. It is not difficult to see that Zhao Chengyu has only been staying in Huainan all his life. As long as he is safe and comfortable to be a free prince, even if the new king ascends the throne, Zhao Chengyu and his descendants can save their lives. If Zhao Chengyu is still delusional of that 'position', then his consequences will be up to Xinjun's mind.
However, from these title, the courtiers' eyes turned to the other three princes, guessing who the future prince would be. But the matter of abolishing the prince had just subsided, and His Majesty issued another imperial edict. The second prince Zhao Chenggao was awarded the title of King Kang, the third prince Zhao Chengru was awarded the title of King of Liang, and the fourth prince Zhao Chengmin was awarded the title of King Duan. In addition, they also gave fiefdoms, so that the three 'new princes' can go to their fiefdoms as soon as possible. As for the choice of the prince, Zhao Changyuan saw that the courtiers were chasing him anxiously, and then he showed the style of 'choose the crown prince three years later'. With the emperor's promise, although the courtiers were not satisfied, they had no choice.
"You mean that King Duan and the princess will come to Huaifeng Mansion?" Lv Xianger looked at Huo Qingsong, who came back from the government office and sneaked into Li's house. She didn't care that he ignored the 'rules' and had some urgency in her eyes. Compared with Beijing Normal University, Huaifeng Mansion is much closer to Dengzhou. Chaoxia also came to Huaifeng, which means that Lv Xianger can go to see her.
Huo Qingsong was in a much better mood when he saw the joy on Lv Xianger's face. After nodding, Huo Qingsong said again, "I knew you would be happy with the news. However, you may have to work harder in the future. It is impossible for Princess Duan to leave the fiefdom at will. Only you have worked hard to see her.
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Lv Xianger shook her head in a hurry, afraid that Huo Qingsong didn't want her to see Chaoxia.
Since she came to Dengzhou, although Lv Xianger's life is very comfortable, there are not many people to talk to. After all, Mrs. Li and Lv Xianger are of two generations, and they can say little. And Lv Wei and Lv Yun kept in mind that they never said much about their identity, and Lv Xianger could not regard them as friends. As for her peers, they are all family members of some officials. When she interacts with Lv Xianger, her words and behaviors are very restrained, and Lv Xianger is very uncomfortable.
Chaoxia is different. Not to mention that Lv Xianger has been friends with her for many years, they know each other very well. Now the two are still cousins, and they are closer. The topic after the meeting is definitely indispensable. Most importantly, Lv Xianger will not be bored in the future.
"Are you so happy?" Huo Qingsong raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "I have good news for you. After listening to it, you don't know how happy you will be.
"What's the news?" Lv Xianger didn't expect that Huo Qingsong had something else to say, and her eyes suddenly lit up. But seeing that Huo Qingsong didn't say anything and only looked at the teapot on the table, Lv Xianger quickly squeezed her lips and smiled and understood what he meant. Pouring a cup of tea, Lv Xianger personally held it in front of Huo Qingsong and whispered, "General Huo, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
Huo Qingsong had some pride in his eyes. He took the teacup and drank more than half of it. After putting down the cup, he said easily, "Hong Geer has been promoted and transferred back to the Zhechong Mansion of Beijing Normal University. If he works harder, he can replace me and become the 'red man' in front of His Majesty. In addition, at his wedding with Yaoer, His Majesty also sent General Manager Xiao to congratulate him.
"Really, this is really a happy event worth celebrating." If the matter of Chaoxia makes Lv Xianger happy, Lv Hong's matter surprises Lv Xianger. Lv Xianger still remembers what Lv Hong once said. One day, he will become a general and won't let anyone bully Lv Erniang and Lv Xianger. Nowadays, the distance between Lv Hong and the general is constantly shrinking. Lv Xianger believes that Lv Hong has fulfilled his vow.
Speaking of the marriage between Lv Hong and Wen Yao, Lv Xianger thought about Huo Qingqing again and asked, "Is Qingqing also married?"
"Well, a month after Hong Geer got married, Qingqing married to Wenfu." When Huo Qingsong heard that Huo Qingqing was getting married, he also sighed in his heart. The little sister who followed him in those years finally married someone else's wife, but he, as a brother, was not there, which was really incompetent.
When Lu Xianger saw Huo Qingsong's eyes, she understood what he was thinking. Walking to Huo Qingsong's side and sitting down, Lv Xianger took the initiative to hold his hand and whispered, "When I left the capital, I had already prepared a congratulatory gift in the name of the two of us. And there are also A Niang and the Duke who are holding for Qingqing, so don't blame yourself. Qingqing also said that she would not blame you. If you really can't rest assured, after a while, we will send another gift, or you can go back to Beijing to visit her.
"You are so thoughtful, what else can I worry about?" It was the first time for Huo Qingsong to see Lv Xianger comforting people. It seemed that a warm current was injected into his heart, which made his look much gentler. Looking at the sky outside, Huo Qingsong got up and whispered, "I should go back. Go to bed early today, and I will come to Li's house on time to marry you tomorrow.
"If you don't tell me, I will forget it. How can you ignore it..." If it hadn't been for Huo Qingsong's reminder, Lv Xianger would have really forgotten Huo Qingsong's boldness and secretly looked at the bride the day before the marriage. Lv Xianger just wanted to say a few words about Huo Qingsong, but he quickly left the house and disappeared. Lv Xianger looked at the slightly shaking door and Mrs. Li outside the door, and her face suddenly turned red.
