Chapter 153: First Decree

In fact, as soon as Huo Xiao said that he had something to ask for, Emperor Yongtai probably guessed what he wanted to ask for. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

They are all people who have experienced youth, and he knows very well what a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy thinks in his heart.

Huo Xiao is the same age as his five sons, and those are either married, even if they are not married, they are engaged to get married.

With comparison, there comes anticipation.

He wants to marry a daughter-in-law!

Because of Gu Xi, Emperor Yongtai has always been very fond of Pei Jinxin.

But his favor was not unprincipled.

He is a person who regards Jiangshan Sheji as more important than everything, and he will not be willing to marry Huo Pei's family.

But at the same time, he is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, he likes Huo Xiao and wants to entrust him with important tasks, so he sincerely hopes that Huo Xiao's marriage can be smooth and happy.

The family and everything are prosperous, and the wife and husband are few in trouble.

If a man wants to achieve great things, it is necessary to marry a capable and virtuous wife.

Therefore, as a girl from the Pei family, Pei Jinxin, who can neither be good nor virtuous, Emperor Yongtai will never let her marry Huo Xiao and become the wife of the future general of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Yongtai has put a lot of thought into the selection of his five daughters-in-law, and he has also carefully considered Huo Xiao's marriage.

I didn't think about it, but after thinking about it, I found that choosing a suitable wife for Huo Xiao was really not an easy task to complete, and it was much more difficult than picking a daughter-in-law.

He really didn't know which girl in the Great Zhou Dynasty could have the following conditions at the same time.

First, Huo Xiao likes it.

Second, Princess Yongfu, King Fu, and General Huo were satisfied.

Third, after marrying the Huo family, he will not threaten his country.

Therefore, at this time, when he heard Huo Xiao say the word "Yuanyuan" in his mouth, he was surprised and confused, but at the same time, he also had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

I have to say that his good nephew does have a vision.

Thinking carefully about the ladies of the right age he has seen, the second girl is undoubtedly the most suitable one.

Smart, beautiful, and the daughter of her most trusted courtier, she and Huo Xiao are a match made in heaven.

Marriage is just a matter of lip service for him, and he is happy to see his nephew hold a beautiful woman.

But a few months ago, in this imperial study, Yuan Zongzhi said that he had also promised that the marriage of Zongzhi's child was only once.

He is the Son of Heaven and the king of a country, how can Chrysostom break his word?

What's more, with Zongzhi's temper, he really dared to tear down his imperial study!

Emperor Yongtai thought to himself, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Since Huo Xiao dared to directly ask for marriage, he was naturally fully prepared.

He said with a straight face: "Uncle Emperor thinks this is inappropriate? ”

Emperor Yongtai coughed lightly and said: "Che'er, uncle remembers that when you left the capital to go to the northwest two years ago, the second girl of Yuan had not yet entered Beijing, it is said that there should be no intersection between you, how did you know her and like her?" ”

Huo Xiao had been prepared for this question, and he had already thought about how to answer.

It's definitely impossible to tell the truth, and it's easy to see through a complete lie.

If you want people to believe in themselves, three points of truth and seven points of falsehood are the most effective.

He smiled and said: "This is also fate, I went to Liaodong Dusi to visit my grandfather in the spring of the previous year, and the second girl of Yuan also happened to go to Dongningwei to visit my aunt and uncle...... Uncle, Che'er likes Miss Yuan'er......"

Speaking of which, Huo Xiao also pretended to be a little shy at the right time, like a young man who was just starting to fall in love.

Emperor Yongtai didn't have too many doubts about his statement, and it was normal for a handsome young man and a beautiful girl to meet and admire each other.

He stroked the dragon whisker under his chin, and his brows were still twisted together: "Che'er, my uncle has seen Miss Yuan Er several times, she is indeed very good, not only beautiful but also a very interesting girl." But have you thought about it? Your marriage to Xinxin was set by your mother.

You suddenly said that you want to ask to marry Yuan Er, will your mother and the imperial uncle agree?

and your grandfather, General Huo, must also have his own opinions on the future head of the Huo family. Without his approval, it is difficult for the second girl to have a good life even if she enters the door.

In addition, I won't tell you that after my uncle gave the fourth child and the eldest girl of the Yuan family a marriage, Lord Yuan once called the door and said that he didn't have to worry about the marriage of the remaining children. At that time, my uncle agreed.

Jun has no jokes, and he and his uncle are not only monarchs and ministers, but also close friends. You have to be considerate of your uncle's difficulties. ”

After Emperor Yongtai finished saying this long list of words, he stood up and personally helped Huo Xiao up.

King Fu and Princess Yongfu did not inform Huo Xiao about Doudou's background, but he was not worried that his mother would oppose his marriage to Lentil.

Although she is very strict with him when she beats his mother, she is not an unreasonable person.

What's more, the second old man has played a package ticket, and with his old man's mediation, there must be no problem with his marriage with lentils.

As for the grandfather, what he values most is the ability of his granddaughter-in-law, and there is no problem with this lentil.

The most tricky is his future father-in-law, Lord Motomuneyuki.

The reason why he didn't dare to show his face in front of Lord Yuan when he went to Hangzhou Mansion eight years ago was that he was worried that with his shrewdness, he would be a goof?

and Ah Kai, who has always had a big temperament, but every time he mentions Lord Yuan, he is like a mouse seeing a cat.

Is it easy to please such a character?

If it's an ordinary thing, it's okay to say it, but ask to marry his daughter......

Although Lentils is only an adopted daughter, Lord Yuan attaches no less importance to her than his biological daughter Yuan Xiang.

Huo Xiao only felt that his brain was throbbing, how could the emperor's uncle should do such a "loss of power and humiliation of the country"!

He looked up at Emperor Yongtai and said, "Uncle Emperor means that as long as I can get Lord Yuan to agree to this family business, you will promise to marry me and Yuan Yuan?" ”

Emperor Yongtai was very sure: "Uncle will never break his word, not only Lord Yuan, but also your mother, grandfather, and grandfather, as long as they all agree to this family business, Uncle will immediately give you and Miss Yuan Er a marriage." ”

As an emperor, there is no need to put his position so low, but Emperor Yongtai just did it.

However, Huo Xiao is not one of those seventeen-year-old young people who are easy to trust others and are easy to be impulsive.

The road to imperial power is a lonely road, the emperor has always been lonely and lonely, and when he becomes an emperor, he is destined to have no relatives, let alone friends.

As the king of a country, his uncle would not dare to forcibly marry his daughter because of the little "friendship" he took into account with his courtiers?

You have no jokes, golden mouths?

No kidding, the more powerful people lie, and the more sophisticated they are.

Of course, there are some things that cannot be said in the open.

Huo Xiao said with a smile: "In this case, Che'er personally went to the Jingnan Marquis Mansion to ask Lord Yuan for marriage, but since my uncle has already agreed to Che'er's request, can you reward the marriage decree first." ”

Emperor Yongtai couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you going to ask for marriage or force marriage?" ”

Huo Xiao said solemnly: "Che'er promises not to betray his uncle, and he will never give a holy decree until Lord Yuan agrees to this family matter." ”

Emperor Yongtai scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, is this afraid that I will regret it? ”
