After the chaos, they wanted to stabilize Feng Yi County as soon as possible, but Ling Buyi was anxious to seek revenge on King Yong and didn't want him out of his sight.
Wu Han was too murderous, and Emperor Wen did not trust him to take charge, so he temporarily handed over the matter to Li Hao, waiting for the arrival of officials sent from the capital.
Therefore, they, together with He Yong and his son, escorted King Yong and his son to the capital for trial.
After Li Hao's side guarded the officials who came to Feng Yi County to take office, and returned to the capital, they heard the news that Ling Bujie had privately interrogated and killed King Yong.
For this reason, Emperor Wen fined Ling Buyi for half a year and demoted him by half a rank. This punishment was really full of flaws.
In addition, because of the death of King Yong, Prince Xiao naturally could not escape this disaster, but this time there was no such thing as He Zhaojun forcing himself to die.
Emperor Wen finally left the whole body of Prince Xiao and gave him a white silk ribbon so that he could die with dignity.
As for the women, children, old and young of the Xiao family, they were directly exiled to Lingnan. Although this journey was not expected to be smooth, it was still a way to survive.
However, after this incident, He Zhaojun has become a lot more mature. At least when she followed He Yong to the Yuan Mansion to express her gratitude, Li Hao could no longer feel her original unruly and willful temperament.
It can be said that Li Hao really gained a lot of benefits from this matter, because the sacrifice of the He family was too tragic, so after Li Hao and Ling Buyi discussed it.
In the end, in order to avoid making He Yong feel grudge, he did not tell him that the imperial court had known about the rebellion of King Yong in advance.
Instead, they took the reasons that Liang Qiuqi and Yuan Wo made up before and improved them again, attributing the credit for the timely rescue to the Yuan family.
Anyway, Yuan family caravans often appear in Feng Yi County. It is normal for them to report the news when they find something is wrong.
After that, he naturally thought that Prince Xiao was stealing or selling arms, so he sent someone to investigate the situation.
Anyway, the first wave of rescue troops were not regular troops, but private soldiers from various tribes. They were all doing business together, so it made sense to solve problems together when they encountered them.
Moreover, Emperor Wen didn't want to alienate the emperor and his ministers because of this matter, so he also helped, which really convinced He Yong.
For this reason, Li Hao accepted a large piece of gratitude from the He family, but Li Hao did not expect that this kindness would turn into trouble in the end.
After all, these days, people are very particular about repaying kindness, and what is the most popular form of repaying kindness? Naturally, it is to repay one's kindness with one's own body.
Of course, this would definitely not be He Yong's promise. After all, even if he wanted to, no one would want it.
The one the He family really wanted to marry was He Zhaojun, but Li Hao was already married. With He Yong's status, He Zhaojun definitely couldn't be a concubine, so He Yong set his sights on Yuan Shen.
You can imagine how exciting the expressions on Li Hao and Yuan Shen's faces were when He Yong said this.
Yuan Shen quickly replied: "General He, there is no need for this. It is our duty to rescue the general. The general must not take it to heart."
Moreover, my mother has already made her own decision regarding my marriage, so please forgive me, General He. "
Li Hao listened and nodded repeatedly, saying to himself that you asked He Zhaojun to marry Yuan Shen. You are really sure you are repaying your kindness. It is Yuan Shen who is suffering.
Not to mention that Yuan Shen already had his heart set on Cheng Shaoshang, but He Zhaojun was not a good candidate based solely on his temperament.
It's not that He Zhaojun is not good. In terms of appearance alone, He Zhaojun is definitely not ugly. It's just that temperament...
Originally, in the original trajectory, He Zhaojun really emerged from his cocoon and became a butterfly, and he matured all of a sudden, but that was tempered by the blood of the He family.
After all, He Zhaojun had no way out at that time, so she could only force herself to grow up and make herself someone she could rely on.
But now things have changed. He Zhaojun still has his father and brother alive. With him relying on him and a way out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to grow to that stage again.
But He Yong had no intention of giving up just like that. He asked again: "Oh, I wonder if I can accept it or ask for fame."
Yuan Shen deliberately said that there was, in order to block it
He Yong kept his mouth shut, thinking that this matter could not be hidden from anyone, so he had no choice but to tell the truth: "That's not true yet, but the two families have already met each other and are already planning to start preparations."
"Since there is no acceptance or asking for names, then this marriage has not been confirmed yet." He Yong then began to promote: "I know that my little girl has a reputation of being domineering in the capital, but I can guarantee you two , after this incident, her temperament has changed.
In addition, if the two families can get married this time, the He family can help the Yuan family in the court and add a generous dowry. "
After hearing this, Li Hao actually had the urge to ask Yuan Shen to agree. After all, compared to the Cheng family, the benefits that the He family could bring to the Yuan family were huge.
Now not only the Yuan family is based in the local area, but also the Liang family and the Qu family. If the He family can be brought up, it will be equivalent to making up for a large shortcoming in the central government.
Moreover, now that the He family had just proved their loyalty with blood, Emperor Wen still felt a lot of guilt about this. Now the marriage would not arouse Emperor Wen's suspicion.
But it was obvious that Yuan Shen had no intention of agreeing. In order to prevent the scene from being too ugly, Li Hao said: "Actually, there is no need to rush this matter. How about we stop talking about it today? I will also do it." I sent a message to my father about this matter and asked for his opinion."
He Yong also knew that it was basically impossible to accomplish this task today, so he took the opportunity to answer the conversation, and after a few words of greeting, he said goodbye and left.
As soon as He Yong left, Li Hao and Yuan Shen looked at each other because of what had just happened. Then Yuan Shen came back to his senses and said, "Why did He Yong suddenly talk about getting married today? Send someone to find out and see the He family. Did something happen?
In addition, say hello to Di's wife and ask her to help inquire about it from the female volume. "
Li Hao nodded and said, "Well, I need to investigate this matter. I feel that this matter is indeed a little weird.
But I think this is also an opportunity. You and Cheng Shaoshang are too busy now, so the Cheng family should be worried, lest they think that you have no one to marry except Cheng Shaoshang. "
Yuan Shen was silent for a long time after hearing these words. This situation made Li Hao think that Yuan Shen didn't want to force Cheng Shaoshang to make a decision, and was just about to make a joke.
"Actually, you think I should agree to this marriage? As He Yong said just now, with the help of the He family, my father and my cousin's plan will go more smoothly, and my Yuan family can also occupy a place in the capital in advance.
This is a great thing for you, me, and the Yuan family. In fact, that’s what I always thought about. "When Yuan Shen said this, his tone was quite hesitant.
After hearing this, Li Hao said: "Brother, even if there is no He family, our Yuan family can still take root in the capital and thrive. You have to believe in yourself, and you have to believe in my abilities.
If you don't like Cheng Shaoshang and really want to marry He Zhaojun, it doesn't matter. But if you are just for the development of the Yuan family, then you don't need to sacrifice your marriage. It's not worth it.
Now is not the time when the Yuan family was about to be destroyed. Do you want to repeat the mistakes of your father and mother? "
This last sentence played a certain role. After all, Yuan Shen felt too deeply about the marriage relationship between Yuan Pei and Liang.
After persuading Yuan Shen to put an end to his self-sacrifice, Li Hao went out to investigate He Yong's affairs, but there was no useful information.
In the end, Qu Lengjun found a breakthrough from the palace. It turned out that Emperor Wen felt sorry for the He family and actually wanted the third prince to marry He Zhaojun as the third prince's concubine.
As soon as this news came out, the third prince himself was unhappy first of all, because he had always wanted to find a wife with good character, virtuousness and benevolence.
But He Zhaojun obviously did not meet these two items, so the third prince went to Emperor Wen to protest.
On the other hand, He Yong actually had no intention of letting He Zhaojun get married so soon. After all, the incident with Prince Xiao had just happened, and it was not easy to find a good wife for He Zhaojun now.
Moreover, two of his sons were killed in the war, so it would be more appropriate to wait for some time before planning.
But Emperor Wen's idea suddenly disrupted He Yong's plan. In addition, He Yong didn't want He Zhao.
You marry the third prince.
Although the third prince's concubine is considered to have a respected status, in the eyes of outsiders, the third prince is still a bit too irritable and harsh.
One thing can clearly reflect this. It turned out that the third prince had a favorite concubine who was pregnant. At that time, the third prince also loved her very much. However, the father and brother of the favored concubine relied on their daughter to be the third prince's family member. The beloved concubine took the opportunity to amass money, accepted bribes wantonly, and even bought and sold by force in the name of the third prince, causing many injustices.
After the third prince found out, he took the concubine's father and brother directly to Tingwei Mansion and ordered Tingwei Mansion to interrogate him strictly.
When the beloved concubine saw that her father and brother were both imprisoned, she cried and begged the third prince for mercy. She wanted to use the fetus in her belly as an excuse to ask the third prince to be lenient to her father and brother.
But the third prince refused, and in the end he died and was exiled. His family property was lost, and the beloved concubine also hanged herself. Naturally, the fetus in her belly was also lost.
After Emperor Wen learned of this situation, he not only talked to the third prince, but also sent a lecturer to give him lectures on Buddhist scriptures to help him maintain his temperament.
But in the following years, the third prince has not changed much.
Although He Yong said in front of Li Hao that He Zhaojun had already changed for the better, didn't He Yong know this truth that it is easy to change a country but hard to change its nature?
If she marries into the Yuan family, even if she does something wrong later, he will still be able to help mediate her, and the Yuan family will always give her some face.
But if he really married the third prince, He Yong didn't think that his words would be more useful than Emperor Wen's.
From the bottom of his heart, He Yong still cherished He Zhaojun's daughter. He neither wanted to rely on his daughter to gain wealth, nor did he want her to take risks with the third prince, so He Yong thought of setting up He Zhaojun's marriage in advance. There is an excuse to reject Emperor Wen.
Originally, the Yuan family was not He Yong's first choice. From the bottom of his heart, He Yong still liked Lou Yao. After all, he grew up with He Yong and knew everything about him.
But when asking He Zhaojun for his opinion, He Zhaojun directly rejected the matter, saying that since she was the one who proposed to break off the engagement, now she didn't want to go back and let He Yong choose another family, so He Yong found the Yuan family. .
The reason why He Zhaojun made this choice is because she still has a way out. She knows that her father will help her plan, so she still has the capital to be willful.
It's just that the Yuan family's trip didn't go well, so He Yong started to think about other people. He Yong was not a fool. After hearing what the two brothers of the Yuan family said, he knew that the marriage was in doubt.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
It would be a pity if anything happened.
Therefore, he stepped up his persuasion to Cheng Shaoshang and began to invite Yuan Shen to speak to him from time to time to create time for them to get along.
Therefore, although Yuan Shen's mouth can be venomous from time to time, the relationship between the two has improved after all.
When it was dark the next day, all the officials dressed up in official robes and rushed to the imperial tent, leaving the rest of the family papers where they were. Following the sound of loud gongs and drums, they knelt down, kowtowed and prayed. It was a noisy whole morning. The sacrificial ceremony is finally over.
Then it was time for free activities for everyone. At this time, Mr. Banlao held an archery horse racing meeting with prizes, attracting a large number of men and women to participate.
Talking about this group of old marquises brings tears of sadness. The whole family was destroyed in the war, all their children were lost, and all five sons died, leaving only Banjia, the only bloodline.
This archery horse racing meeting is held this time because Banjia has now reached the age of marriage proposal, but does not even know the road to the capital, let alone the people in the capital, so this time we take the opportunity to let Banjia and everyone meet.
This also attracted He Yong's attention, and Dang even asked his son to take He Zhaojun there to see if there was any chance of marrying the Ban family.
But some people like liveliness, while others like tranquility, so at this time Li Hao accidentally saw a familiar figure riding a flower horse, walking towards a trail.
And this also reminded Li Hao of something, something that might make the prince start to stand up and change his avoidance and effeminacy.
