However, Yuan Shen quite recognized Liang Shangde's performance and said, "My uncle is more calm now. With him in charge of the Liang family, it probably won't do anything bad."
Li Hao laughed when he heard this and said, "Your requirements are not high, but my uncle has indeed improved a lot compared to before. It seems that our aunt is also a capable person.
It's just that I didn't see anyone today. Didn't my aunt come to the capital with me this time? "
Hearing Li Haode's question, Yuan Pei replied: "Your aunt's father was ill some time ago, so she went back to Hongnong County to visit, and then she will come to the capital with Yang's team.
There is one more thing I forgot to ask you. When His Majesty called us back to the capital this time, he specifically asked us to take our family papers with us.
How come I heard that you were the one responsible for this matter? You are now addicted to menstruation. "
Yuan Shen knew the inside story of this matter, but he had no plan to rescue Li Hao and just wanted to watch the fun from the sidelines.
So Li Hao could only reply: "Father, you have wronged me in this matter. If His Majesty hadn't forced me to help Huo Buji find a marriage, I wouldn't have bothered to hold a banquet.
Moreover, it was His Majesty's own idea to bring his family to the capital this time. I am purely a worker. "
Yuan Pei lectured: "Well, that's for the best. You should focus more on business and don't engage in such crooked things."
Li Hao naturally nodded in agreement when he heard this. After all, he had just fought Yuan Pei over the 50% issue, so it was better to soften his attitude now.
However, it was because of Yuan Pei's words today that Li Hao remembered that he had promised Emperor Wen that he would gather a group of officials from the capital to personally sign up and hold another blind date for Huo Buji.
This matter requires Yuan Pei's efforts. After all, some people don't have enough face to invite him.
It was just that Yuan Pei had just finished teaching him a lesson, and Li Hao would inevitably feel a little bad if he said anything again, so he planned to find Emperor Wen and let him speak.
Anyway, the cause of this matter was also Emperor Wen, so he should help solve the problems in the middle.
As soon as he returned to the house, he heard Yuan Pei say before leaving: "I have prepared a post inviting people to the banquet. You will send someone to my place to get it later. You can fill in the date and location yourself."
Well, it seems that Emperor Wen didn't give up completely and stopped working. At least he had made arrangements with Yuan Pei.
That night, Li Hao asked someone to bring all the posts over, but he didn't rush to fill them in. After all, there were still some people who hadn't arrived, so he decided to wait until everyone was here before making arrangements, just in case one of the missed people was Huo Huo. No matter what you do if you like it, mosquito legs also need meat, so you can’t let it go.
Therefore, there was no need to be busy with the party. Li Hao's main focus was to stay with the prince, help digest some prerequisites for the land transfer order, and deal with the questions raised by Emperor Wen.
However, in this matter, based on Li Hao's status and position, there are many things that are not suitable to be said too clearly.
After all, the Yuan family was not a poor family. It was impossible for Li Hao to deviate from his own class and serve Emperor Wen wholeheartedly. This was unrealistic, and there was a high probability that the return would be far lower than the profit, and he could not do a business that was losing money.
Because this era was an era where aristocratic families and imperial power coexisted. Even though Emperor Wen was the founding king, he was elected by aristocratic families.
Therefore, it also resulted in him being unable to centralize imperial power through several big moves cleanly like Zhu Yuanzhang, and would only reach a tacit understanding with the wealthy families to a certain extent.
In this case, unless there is a need like the Liang family, Li Hao will not deliberately be troublesome.
Emperor Wen obviously also considered this issue, so Huo Buyi has been more diligent in visiting the East Palace recently.
But every time Huo Buyi saw Li Hao, his eyes were always a little unkind, which made Li Hao feel a little on pins and needles.
I couldn't help but think to myself: "It's not me who asked you to go on a blind date. If you have the ability, go and trouble Emperor Wen. What's the use of just staring at me."
But in the end, Li Hao didn't dare to blame him directly. After all, Huo Buyi was really capable of complaining in front of Emperor Wen. It would be bad if he didn't have to be taught a lesson by Emperor Wen.
So Li Hao decided to hide from Huo first.
No doubt, at least avoid this limelight.
But unexpectedly, Huo Busuo really held a grudge. Officials from all over the country gathered in the capital to remember this trivial matter, but they still hadn't gotten over it.
But at this time, Li Hao couldn't hide anymore, because according to Emperor Wen's wishes, the blind date had to be held, and Huo Buyi had to be invited to the place. After all, he was the protagonist.
Originally, Li Hao wanted to pass the blame to Emperor Wen this time and ask him to ask Huo Buyu to participate, so as to save himself a headache.
It's just that Emperor Wen, a shady guy, didn't take the blame at all. He just threw it back to Li Hao, saying that he believed in Li Hao's ability, and then kicked Li Hao out.
In desperation, Li Hao could only bite the bullet and once again blocked Huo Buyi in the East Palace and said: "Zicheng, the plum blossoms in my house are in bloom these days, so I plan to hold a plum appreciation party." , how about you and His Royal Highness both come and take a look."
How could Huo Buyi not know Li Hao's true intentions? After all, the Yuan family's invitation to invite people to the meeting had been sent out long ago, and he now knew exactly who he had invited.
So when he faced Li Hao, he mainly maintained silence, and then looked at Li Hao coldly.
In the end, it was the prince who helped break the embarrassment: "Well, the scenery of the Yuan family is already unique, and with this little plum blossom embellishment, it will definitely be even better.
It just so happens that we are not too busy these days, so Zicheng and Gu will go to enjoy the beautiful scenery! "
Huo Buyi replied directly after hearing the words: "Your Highness, the land transfer order will be implemented after the new year. Now is the time when there are many things to think about. If your Highness really has leisure, you might as well think of specific measures to implement it. Go and report back to His Majesty."
After quarreling with the prince, Huo Buyi pointed the finger at Li Hao: "You too, if you really have nothing to do, I can help you find something to do. Don't waste your time on such meaningless things. Why are you appreciating plum blossoms?" I won’t go if I do.”
After saying that, Huo Buyu was about to leave, but how could Li Hao let him go like this, so he quickly reached out and stopped him.
This block caused a problem. Huo Buyi probably had been unhappy with Li Hao for a long time, so he directly pressed down Li Hao's outstretched arm and was about to throw Li Hao into a big fight.
Of course, Li Hao would not let him get what he wanted, so he took advantage of the opportunity to turn over and get his arm out of Huo Buyu's control.
Then I thought about getting away from each other so that I could reason with Huo Bujie. After all, it was a little more difficult for Huo Bujie to convince people with virtue.
It's not that you can't beat him, but because of Huo Buyi's bad temper, he probably won't listen to you even if you beat him, and if you really want to hurt him, you might have to get scolded by Emperor Wen again, which is not worth the gain.
But Li Hao wanted to retreat, but Huo Buyi didn't think so and immediately attacked.
Seeing this situation, Li Hao had no choice but to counterattack. After all, although Li Hao didn't want to be scolded by Emperor Wen, he didn't want to be hammered by Huo Buyi.
However, Li Hao still let some water go and treated Huo Buyi as his sparring partner.
The two people were fighting lively here, but the prince on the side looked anxious, and immediately said: "Stop it, what are you doing, why are you still fighting, what can't you say properly?"
But obviously Huo Bujie was not that obedient, and when Li Hao saw that Huo Bujie didn't stop, he naturally wouldn't stop and be beaten passively.
Fortunately, although the prince's skills were not very good, he still had some discernment. In the end, he was sure that both of them had kept their hands, so he simply stopped trying and just watched the excitement from the side.
After dozens more moves, Huo Buji saw that he really couldn't defeat Li Hao, so he stopped and planned to leave without wanting to waste any more effort.
Of course Li Hao refused. This was a fight for no reason. It would be a real loss if he hadn't been dragged away.
"This is the last time. I promise this will be the last time. I will never pull you in again. Even if His Majesty gives you another order, I will definitely not do it again."
These words moved Huo Buyi a little, making him pause for a moment.
Seeing this, Li Hao hurriedly pursued the victory: "And think about it, everyone has been invited now, even if you don't want to go, His Majesty will have to escort you there.
You're going anyway, just think of it as doing me a favor, and I can still thank you, right? "
"Are you sure this is the last time?" Huo Buyi finally said.
Li Hao replied: "That's for sure. We have invited all the suitable people from inside and outside the capital. The scope will be much larger outside. I really can't worry about that."
Huo Buyi pondered for a while, and finally agreed: "Okay, I will go there that day, but if you dare to bother me about this again in the future, don't blame me for really falling out."
After this matter was settled, Li Hao finally let go of a big stone in his heart. After making an agreement with the prince, he also left the East Palace.
Li Hao scheduled this plum appreciation party before Zhengdan, so as not to affect the overall atmosphere due to the Tiandu Order.
On the day of the banquet, Li Hao arrived at Huo Buyi's house early as usual, urging him to leave quickly.
However, due to this guy's limited interest and deliberate delay, when Li Hao and Huo Buyi arrived, there were already seven or eight people attending the meeting, including the prince.
So after entering the mansion, the two planned to meet the prince first, and then they saw Liang Xia standing next to the prince with a flattering smile on his face, not knowing what he was talking about.
The prince was also feeling uncomfortable. He happened to see Li Hao and Huo Buyi come in and said quickly: "Why are you two here so late, especially Zi Yang? You are the host."
Li Hao heard this and replied: "Back to your highness, you can't blame me. I went to Zicheng's house to invite him a long time ago. You have to ask him how he can move so slowly."
The prince naturally knew that Huo Buyi was unwilling. Just when he was about to start teasing him, he heard Liang Xia suddenly speak.
"Zi Yang, this is your fault. My uncle has to say a few words to you. The guests in this courtyard should respect His Highness the Crown Prince.
If you want to go out to invite someone, you should first invite His Highness the Crown Prince. How can you let His Highness come here to wait for you? "
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone present and left Li Hao speechless.
If you want to please the prince, why don't you do your homework beforehand? At least you have to check the relationship first.
What is the relationship between the two of you here and the prince, and what is the relationship between you and the prince? It's okay to just open your mouth.
And everyone knows that the Yuan and Liang families have been married to each other for generations, so wouldn’t saying this just create a rift in the relationship between the two families out of thin air!
However, since Liang Xia couldn't speak with his head, Li Hao definitely couldn't do this. In addition, Liang Xia was Li Hao's nominal uncle, so it was hard to look down on him in public.
All I could do was remember the account and calculate it slowly, while still saying: "Yes, I understand, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Li Hao could feel it when he was talking. Huo Buyi looked at him with playful eyes, obviously very happy that Li Hao was doing this to Li Hao.
Hearing this, the prince replied: "It's okay. Today's banquet is more important for Zicheng. Ziyang should be invited."
After saying that, he pointed to two places beside him and asked them to come and sit down.
This move also made the people present see his closeness to the two of them, and they immediately cleared up what Liang Xia had just said, making his face turn pale.
And as Li Hao and Huo Buyi sat down, he could no longer get close to the prince, so he could only return to his seat and sit down.
However, Li Hao didn't sit here for long, and soon proposed to go outside to throw pots and enjoy plum blossoms.
After all, the main point today was to let Ling Buyi see more of the girl, but he couldn't see her if he stayed in the room.
The prince also understood the situation. Even if the first one agreed, the others would naturally not have any objections.
So everyone got up and went to the hall where the equipment had been set up outside. There was only a small lake separated from the courtyard where the female scroll was. As long as the eyesight was slightly better, they could see clearly.
And Ling Buyi has amazing shooting skills, and his eyesight is naturally very good.
When they arrived at the place, the prince wanted to let Huo Buyue show off, so he said: "Zicheng, your archery skills have always been top-notch. I think this pot throwing is also easy for you. How about you make a good start for everyone."
When Huo Buji heard this, he gently picked up an arrow and turned it around.
Liang Huan said: "I usually shoot arrows and kill people. Such a child's plaything will inevitably lead to defeat without force."
As he spoke, he threw the arrow into the pot with a single flick of his tongue. His graceful and carefree posture made Li Hao secretly say that he was pretending really well.
However, as the host, since the guests said it was not difficult, Li Hao naturally had to step forward.
Moreover, the difficulty of throwing pots in this era is indeed very low. The people present are all from high-ranking families and have some skills in their hands. It is really not enough for people to widen the gap.
In order to reveal Huo Buyi, Li Hao planned to make this matter more difficult and introduce the rules of throwing pots in the world.
"Since Zicheng feels that this kind of pot throwing is a bit boring, I have some new ways to play, just to test you."
After saying that, he waved his hands and asked people to change all the utensils, and then put words like "Youchu", "Lianzhong", "Guan'er", "Scattered Arrow", "Quanhu", "YouEnd" and "Xiaojian" After many rules were listed, it became more interesting when there were more rules, which made Huo Buyu slightly more interested.
Then Li Hao first demonstrated it in person, and everyone already had the basics, and soon began to compete.
At this time, Li Hao had some free time, pulled Yuan Shen aside, and asked if there was anything going on in the house before he arrived, such as if Liang Xia had done anything stupid.
