Chapter 212: The Young Marquis

(Asking for a subscription at the beginning of the month, asking for a monthly pass) Lai Xing'er was officially canonized by the emperor, and it was three days later. Because before he was canonized, he was still a miscellaneous servant who wore a crime and still lived in the small dormitory in the Guozi Prison Courtyard, so as soon as Wang Bao'er, who came to announce the decree, finished reading the order, he congratulated Lai Xing'er and said: "Master Hou, our family is going to congratulate you in advance."www.biquge.info I heard that the emperor is going to give the original Jin State Mansion to the Hou Ye as a residence, which is a good mansion in the capital. ”

Since seeing that Lai Xing'er made great contributions in the battle to recover Chang'an and regained the favor of the emperor, although Wang Bao'er was secretly red and jealous, he deliberately curried favor with Lai Xing'er on the surface.

Lai Xing'er's impression of him has not changed at all, especially when he heard rumors in the palace that Wang Bao'er has recently gotten very close to Ying'er, who has just been named Bao Zhaoyi, which has added to his disgust.

"The inner privy envoy said this, and Lai Xing'er was ashamed. I have already bid farewell to the emperor and am ready to move to the palace of Dongyang County with my wife for a while, and then make plans when I return from the western Xinjiang this time. However, I heard that the emperor has approved the marriage between the privy envoy and Miss Cailuan, and you can ask the emperor to reward you as a new residence in this Jin State Mansion. Lai Xing'er replied with a smile on her face and a prickly voice.

Wang Bao'er saw that Lai Xing'er didn't mean to invite him to sit down and speak, so he had to stand in the room and pretend to humble: "Master Hou, don't kill our family." You were named the Marquis of Fuyuan by the emperor, and you are in a high position and a purple robe, and you still want to resign, how dare you covet the Jin State Mansion? ”

"Is there anything else the Privy Counsellor is up to?" Lai Xing'er didn't want to entangle with him more, so he directly issued an eviction order.

Wang Bao'er saw that Lai Xing'er didn't even mean to seal a red envelope for himself, and scolded secretly in his heart, and on the surface, he took advantage of the situation to say goodbye to Lai Xing'er: "Master Hou is entrusted by the emperor, and there must be many things to arrange, so our family will not bother, so I will leave and go back to the palace to return to the emperor." ”

Lai Xing'er didn't make any reservations, but walked out of the room, and said, "I'll send it to the Privy Council." ”

The two of them followed each other and just walked out of the dormitory, but they saw Zhu'er Liang Wenqian walking in with several palace servants, carrying two large boxes of vermilion lacquer.

"The prince of my family heard that the emperor's edict has been issued, and he specially ordered our family to come to congratulate him, and he hoped that the Marquis of Fuyuan would not be disgusted." Zhu'er walked forward and bowed to Lai Xing'er to explain his intentions, but he ignored Wang Bao'er who came to preach and ignored it.

"The prince is kind, but it is disrespectful to come to Xing'er, so I have to accept it first, and then see the prince on the prince's mansion another day." Lai Xing'er looked at Wang Bao'er who was leaving, blinked at Chong Zhu'er, and responded loudly.

"If it is convenient for Master Hou, the prince of my family wants to invite Master Hou to come over the house." Zhu'er continued.

Lai Xing'er didn't expect that Li Qi, the king of Mu, would be in such a hurry to see him, so he blurted out to Zhu'er and asked: "The emperor ordered me to leave Beijing in three days and go to Liangzhou, the prince will see me at this time, do you have anything to explain to me?" ”

Zhu'er only smiled slightly, and said, "Hou Ye will know when he goes." Then he asked Lai Xing'er and said: "I heard that the emperor originally wanted to appoint Hou Ye as the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Sanpin Shenhe Army and the commander of the Longyou defense envoy, but I don't know why the Hou Ye resigned?" ”

Lai Xing'er was stunned when he heard this, he only saw the emperor alone in the Yanying Hall yesterday, and today King Mu has exactly known about his resignation, if the emperor didn't tell him personally, could it be that King Mu still has eyeliner in the Yanying Palace? He immediately remembered that more than half a year ago, when he was transferred to Yanying Hall on an errand, Li Jinzhong wanted to act as his eyeliner for the past, and he couldn't help but feel a cold air coming out of his spine.

"Let's talk as we go." Lai Xing'er knew that Zhu'er's words were asked by Li Qi, the king of Mu, so he walked side by side with him outside the courtyard, and replied thoughtfully, "Lai Xing'er gave birth to a boy after a child, and was given the title of Marquis of Fuyuan by the grace of the saint, but he was already sincerely afraid and did not dare to accept it. Yesterday in the Yanying Palace, Lai Xing'er repeatedly shirked it, so he had to agree with the emperor that it would not be too late to ask the emperor to give this post when Lai Xing'er went to the western Xinjiang this time to make a meritorious deed. Therefore, it is not a coquettish resignation, but a delay. ”

Zhu'er heard Xing'er's explanation, his face sank at first, and then returned to normal, and he said in an official voice: "I see, but my prince thinks too much." ”

Zhu'er led Lai Xing'er to the main hall of King Mu's Mansion, and King Mu Li Qi had been waiting for a long time. Lai Xing'er greeted Li Qi, and when he heard Li Qi's face, he asked him: "A few months ago, did the Marquis of Fuyuan see a monster shaped like a bison in Wangwu Mountain?" ”

Lai Xing'er felt a pang in his heart, but Li Qi deliberately reminded him not to forget that he had privately rebelled against Li Shu, so he hugged his fists and replied truthfully: "Back to the prince's words, when Lai Xing'er was serving in front of General Fu Yi's tent, he led the sergeant to hunt down the rebel Li Shu in Wangwu Mountain, and he did encounter the monster in the mountain, and it also injured the lives of two sergeants. I don't know how the prince remembered to ask about it? ”

Li Qi heard that Lai Xing'er had also encountered the monster in Wangwu Mountain, so he became interested, leaned forward, and asked, "Since the monster injured your sergeant, how did you escape from under its hooves?" But like this king, he also encountered an immortal who warned him with a heavenly voice and scared away the monster? ”

Lai Xing'er was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly responded: "At that time, thanks to my newly befriended brother Jiang Zhongshi in Songtai Village at the foot of Wangwu Mountain, he had the power to subdue the tiger and subdue the leopard, so that he scared away that monster, I don't know who the immortal the prince is referring to?" ”

"Oh, I see." Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "To be honest, this king received a report that Li Shu was still hiding in Wangwu Mountain in Puzhou City that day, so he led a group of men and horses to arrest him, but three thousand soldiers searched up and down Wangwu Mountain for five days and five nights, and only found two corpses of Nanban in a cave halfway up the mountain, and found nothing. The king remembered that the mother of the rebel Li Shu was originally from the barbarian state of Linyi, so he ordered the sergeant to carry the two corpses down the mountain, trying to find someone to find out whether the two were from Linyi, and wanted to pick up Li Shunan to avoid trouble, but on the way down the mountain, he was attacked by the monster, and almost buried the king on Wangwu Mountain......"

When Li Qi said this, he deliberately stopped, reached out to pick up a bowl of tea, took two sips, and peeked at Lai Xing'er's reaction to this. (To be continued.) )
