After looking for nearly half an hour, there was still no news of Sun Qian, Yuan Rui couldn't help but panic, although Sun Qian is a child of the rivers and lakes is used to seeing the wind and waves, but after all, the martial arts are too poor, and he is not familiar with life in Luoyang, in case of an accident, not only will he lose his love, but he will not be able to explain to the dead Sun Fuhu and Sun Tai. Thinking of this, Yuan Rui explained a few words to the family members around him, turned around and ran to the Duwei's Mansion in Luoyang.

The Duwei of Luoyang is Hu Xiude, the son of Hu Yuan, the commander of Luoyang, and the father and son are powerful in Luoyang City because of the relationship between the Empress Dowager Hu. Hu Yuan is okay, this Hu Xiude is arrogant and domineering in looking for flowers and asking willows on weekdays, and he is a gentleman, Yuan Rui became angry when he saw him. But now that the matter is urgent, even if you don't want to, you have to ask for help, who let the family manage the security of the entire Luoyang, and it is naturally much better to find someone than the half-baked family members in their palace.

After waiting for a long time, Hu Xiude stretched his waist from the back hall and yawned slowly: "Who is my Dao!" It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Changle! Why did you come to my governor's mansion early in the morning? ”

The chief bookkeeper on the side, Wei Bi, whispered in Hu Xiude's ear and reminded: "Lord Duwei forgot, the villain has reported to you just now, and His Royal Highness wants to ask Lord Duwei to help find someone!" ”

Hu Xiude slapped his head: "Yes, yes! Look at my memory! With that, he stretched out a palm towards Yuan Rui.

Yuan Rui was dazed: "What? ”

Hu Xiude: "Kumon! How can a lieutenant act without an official document! ”

Yuan Rui forced a smile: "The matter is urgent, King Gongwen will make up for it later, and I hope that Brother Hu will make it convenient." ”

Hu Xiude was "embarrassed" and said: "This is not in accordance with the rules! There is a rule for everything, but your Highness said it yourself. When the Japanese Governor looked at a few acres of thin fields in the west of the city, His Royal Highness personally said this in front of the Queen Mother, and forced the Governor to return the land to the old man Jiang, forgot? ”

Yuan Rui forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart: "This time the situation is different, if Brother Hu can make it convenient, this king will be grateful for the rest of his life!" ”

Hu Xiude was about to verbally humiliate Yuan Rui again, but Uncle Chen appeared in time at this time, shouting from afar: "Your Highness! I've found Miss Sun! ”

Yuan Ruizheng was uncomfortable, and he didn't bother to rub his tongue with him anymore when he heard this, and he turned around and left without saying hello, leaving Hu Xiude with his mouth half-open and staying in place with an embarrassed expression.

When Uncle Chen took Yuan Rui to see Sun Qian, before Yuan Rui could speak, Sun Qian actually complained: "Your Luoyang City is too big, I didn't take a few steps before I got lost......

Yuan Rui's anger was instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared with the wind, angry and funny: "What do you mean by running away from home without saying a word?" What I said yesterday was in vain! ”

Sun Qian's expression gradually darkened: "I saw Miss Li's sister coming over just now, in fact, what Miss Li said yesterday was right, Brother Rui, you are a royal noble, and I'm nothing!" You and Miss Li are a match made in heaven, if Brother Rui forcibly combines with me, you will definitely be criticized by the world! ”

Yuan Rui: "So you're going to say goodbye?" ”

Sun Qian was silent.

Yuan Rui grabbed Sun Qian's hands and said softly: "Give me five days, within five days, if I can't silence the world, then you can leave?" ”

Sun Qian looked at Yuan Rui in disbelief: "How are you going to block the mouth of this world?" ”

Yuan Rui thoughtfully: "Originally, I didn't have any good way, but now, there is a method worth trying!" ”

In the afternoon, Yuan Rui entered the palace to find Yuan Yao and said straight to the point: "Brother Huang, my brother wants to ask my brother to say for my brother Chen in front of the Queen Mother, and ask her old man to come forward to marry her brother and Miss Sun Qian!" There are some things that are inconvenient for the younger brother to speak. ”

Yuan Yao was obviously surprised: "Marriage? You want to marry Miss Sun as a princess? No, no, no, the clan etiquette is on top, how can the position of the princess be awarded to a concubine! If this matter can really be as simple as you think, how can I let that Hu Bizhu be the queen? ”

Yuan Rui had expected him to say this, and he was not in a hurry: "At this time and that time, the imperial brother was fine when he accepted the queen, but now it is in turmoil. The great rebellion led by the two towns of Yingyang and Yuli, followed by the three towns of Longfei, Luming and Sheteng, has seriously threatened the foundation of our Great Wei, and the entire territory of Hengzhou and Yanzhou has fallen; Shizhou and Youzhou are embattled; Shuozhou, Xiazhou, Fenzhou and other places also have rumors of rogues responding to the rebels from time to time, and it can be said that the entire northern territory of our Great Wei has been involved in the war. ”

Yuan Yao's face was worried: "That's true, the situation is already at a critical juncture, but what do these things have to do with your marriage?" ”

Yuan Rui: "Hu Dun, the general of the expedition to the north, has been fighting with the rebels a few days ago, I heard that the war is not ideal, right?" ”

Yuan Yao nodded slightly: "It's not just not ideal, it's a complete defeat, the rebels seem to know Hu Dun's marching route, and set up an ambush at the intersection in advance, so Hu Dun ran fast, so it didn't cause a big tragedy!" ”

Yuan Rui: "Xiao Qian's second brother, Sun Rong, the owner of Huaiwuwu, has also heard about the recklessness of repelling 70,000 rebels with a thousand rivers and lakes, right?" ”

Yuan Yao: "I heard that! Although there is some luck, I have to say that this battle is really beautiful, I can't imagine that there are such people who can fight well in the rivers and lakes! ”

Yuan Rui: "This is the key, I wonder if the imperial brother has ever thought about why the rebels are so strong?" The first is that they have been planning for a long time, and the second is that they are very good at winning over all the forces that can be co-opted, whether they are officials of the court or people in the rivers and lakes. Sun Fuhu and Sun Lao Hero were assassinated because they refused to win over him, and his brother believed that Hengzhou Don't Drive Tieli must have secretly colluded with the rebels early in the morning. Like Sun Rong, who is an expert in warfare, the imperial court should actively encircle and make it available to me, otherwise if one day the rebels give him a price that is enough to make him excited, so that he will turn against the imperial court, and then the imperial court will be tired of dealing with the rebels, how can there be time to deal with him! ”

Yuan Yao snorted: "You can't help but say too much, what can you do with thousands of grass coars?" ”

Yuan Rui Zhengse said: "Tie Li just underestimated the thousands of grass cowards in this area, so he ended up in a different place!" Moreover, with Huaiwu's reputation in the rivers and lakes, its influence is by no means as simple as thousands of grass cobs! ”

Yuan Yao pondered for a long time: "So you want to let the queen mother give you a marriage, so as to envelop Sun Rong?" Even if what you said is right, why does the queen mother want to marry you, just find a princess to marry him, it is enough for Sun Rong to be grateful for a lifetime! ”

Yuan Rui smiled self-deprecatingly: "Brother Huang, you think too highly of the status of our Yuan clan in the heart of the Queen Mother, forgive the younger brother for being disrespectful, the younger brother may not be as close as some ministers in the heart of the Queen Mother!" Marrying Sun Rong's sister as the younger brother of the king of Changle will not be a pity for the queen mother, but also show the supreme favor of the imperial court to Sun Rong. ”

The Empress Dowager's close relatives of the Hu family are already well-known, although Yuan Yao doesn't want to mention it, he has to admit that this is the case: "Okay...... I promised to try it for you, as for whether the queen mother agrees or not, then I dare not guarantee it!" ”

Yuan Rui took a deep look: "As long as the imperial brother is willing to speak, the queen mother will definitely agree!" ”

Sure enough, when Yuan Yao mentioned this matter to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother agreed after a little thought. The considerations are naturally as Yuan Rui said, but there is another point that Yuan Rui did not mention, that is, although Yuan Rui and Yuan Yao are brothers, but the two of them are actually only ten days apart, and all kinds of signs show that Yuan Rui is much more shrewd than Yuan Yao, in case Yuan Rui takes the throne after a hundred years of the Queen Mother, Yuan Yao may not be able to suppress it. If it weren't for Yuan Rui's deep affection and loyalty to Yuan Yao's brothers, and his usual pleasure in the mountains and rivers and his dislike of power struggles, the Queen Mother would have thought of getting rid of him. But sometimes even if you don't have the idea of seizing power, there will be a group of people around you who use your banner to cause many incidents, and now let Yuan Rui marry a woman from the rivers and lakes as a concubine, which invisibly cut off the possibility of his marriage with the family.

However, Yuan Rui didn't care about this, as long as he could marry Sun Qian smoothly, everything else would be floating clouds for him. When the will to give marriage came down, Yuan Rui was so happy that he was jumping around like a child, and Uncle Chen was frightened by him, and when he saw him from afar, he took a detour. And Sun Qian couldn't believe it for a long time, this thing was really done by Yuan Rui, she couldn't imagine it, every time she chased Yuan Rui and asked what method she used to let the Queen Mother come forward to give marriage, Yuan Rui always smiled mysteriously and gave her two words: "Secret!" As for Li Lihua, after learning the news, she finally completely lost her heart to Yuan Rui and never came to pester him anymore.
