[Chapter 6, Volume 6]

Section 221 Chapter 221 Message

Lu Xiang'er didn't tell Huo Qingsong what happened on the way to Dengzhou, but Huo Qingsong asked from Huo Bao. On the second day, the ten guards who were escorting Lu Xiang'er disappeared. learned from Huo Bao that they had returned to Beijing, but Lu Xiang'er didn't know what Huo Qingsong's purpose was.

Of course, Lu Xiang'er didn't have the time to pay attention to what Huo Qingsong was planning. Because she bought a new house, she was too busy to renovate it. In order to rebuild the house as soon as possible, Li Feng and Mrs. Li did not make any less efforts, and almost hired all the idle craftsmen in Dengzhou City.

Just as Huo Qingsong and Lu Xianger's new home was cleaned up, they began to prepare for marriage. There was a surprising and shocking news from Jingshi. Huo Qingsong and Li Feng received secret letters from Song Beiqiao and Li Xingzhou respectively, and involuntarily gathered in Li Feng's study in the evening.

Mrs. Li and Lu Xiang'er sent a pot of tea to the three of them, then left the study and went to the garden to talk. And the three people in the study, after Li Wenhao closed the door, Li Feng's brows immediately wrinkled, and he said in a deep voice: "I believe that in less than ten days, the people of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will know this news." But His Majesty the Emperor suddenly made this decision at this time, what do you think, Qingsong? ”

"Uncle, the little nephew doesn't believe that the old prince didn't mention this matter in the letter, so why did you bother to ask the little nephew." Huo Qingsong remained silent, drinking tea leisurely, seeing Li Feng smile and shake his head again and again.

Li Wenhao also laughed with him, and once again recognized in his heart that Huo Qingsong was a cunning fox. It can be seen that Huo Qingsong didn't speak, so he took the initiative to say on behalf of Li Feng: "The prince has been the 'prince' of the Great Zhou Dynasty since His Majesty ascended the throne, and it has been more than ten years. His Majesty wants to abolish the crown prince, and since the prince does not object, I am afraid that those people behind the prince will not agree. ”

"So what, if today's son is still Your Majesty, the courtiers are also Your Majesty's courtiers. If the other three princes are crowned queens and are willing to return to their fiefdoms, as long as the prince is still sober, he will take the initiative to calm the hearts of those people and become a carefree Jianghuai king. Huo Qingsong looked at Li Feng, who was listening carefully, his eyes flashed, and he continued: "Otherwise, not only the fate of the prince is unpredictable, but the Empress Yuan may encounter an accident first." ”

When Li Feng heard the 'Yuan Queen's lineage', his expression was slightly stunned, and he immediately thought of the Yuan family, which had become more and more low-key since the death of Empress Yuan. Speaking of the 'Yuan family', when Queen Yuan was alive, it was the most beautiful family in Beijing. The Yuan family was a big family at that time in the previous dynasty, and because of his support for Emperor Taizu's uprising, he was valued by Emperor Taizu. His Majesty's teacher today is a member of the Yuan family, and he married the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, and finally became the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But the Yuan family, which came out of the 'emperor' and 'queen', kept a low profile after the 'emperor' and 'queen' passed away one after another. In addition to being able to see the Yuan family by the prince's side, the Yuan family has gradually faded out of the vision of the Jingshi people. However, after careful consideration, it can be seen that the Yuan family is low-key, but the children of the Yuan family are mostly in and out of the court. Although they are not high-grade courtiers, looking at the positions held by the children of the Yuan family, you can know that the power of the Yuan family is still not small.

If it weren't for Li Feng's return to Jingshi some time ago, he learned some things about the court, and he didn't know the influence of the children of the Yuan family in the court. I don't know what I thought, Li Feng's face slowly became solemn, and his eyes looked at Huo Qingsong with deep meaning. Huo Qingsong did not refuse Li Feng's eyes, and looked at him calmly.

Just when Li Wenhao couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere in the study and was about to speak, Li Feng spoke up, and his tone instantly relaxed: "There is some truth in what Qingsong said, this world is Your Majesty's world, what is Your Majesty's decision, we as courtiers only need to do our duty." ”

"Uncle is reasonable, Qingsong admires." Huo Qingsong saw that Li Feng was not staring at this matter, his heart was relieved, and his face eased a lot.

Li Wenhao didn't know what Li Feng thought, but he saw what he meant, and said with a smile: "That is, how the prince is, how the prince is, it doesn't have much to do with us." The most important thing for us at the moment is to prepare a grand wedding for Xiang'er. Otherwise, my grandfather would have come back for another wedding. ”

Thinking of Li Xingzhou's temperament, it was really possible to do such a thing, Li Feng and Li Wenhao smiled helplessly. And a smile also appeared on the corner of Huo Qingsong's mouth, and Lu Xiang'er's shadow appeared in his eyes. In Huo Qingsong's heart, he really couldn't wait, looking forward to that day coming soon.

And the day before the wedding, the will of the court finally arrived in Dengzhou. Although Huo Qingsong was on marriage leave, he also went to the government and felt the turmoil in Beijing with Dengzhou officials. In their hearts, they are very glad to be an official in this Xinjiang and will not be implicated in the incident of the 'abolished prince'.

The 'crown prince' is the prince, the future emperor. In case it is 'abolished', there is no possibility of being reinstated. Of course, the courtiers who had been close ministers of the crown prince for more than ten years were unwilling, and gathered in front of the palace to ask Zhao Changyuan to retract his will. As a result, naturally, after a bloody storm, some officials were dismissed, some officials were convicted, and the matter was finally settled.

The crown prince Zhao Chengyu has mediocre qualifications, and has been in the position of 'prince' for more than ten years, without much achievement, and was abolished as the 'prince'. However, it was also because the prince was too mediocre, and Zhao Changyuan was the prince of Huainan and was named the king of Huainan. It is not difficult to see that Zhao Chengyu has only stayed in Huainan in his life. As long as he is at ease and a free prince, even if the new monarch ascends the throne, Zhao Chengyu and his descendants can save their lives. If Zhao Chengyu is still delusional about that 'position', then what the consequences for him will depend on Xinjun's mind.

However, it was also from these titles that the courtiers' eyes turned to the other three princes, all speculating who the future prince would be. But the matter of abolishing the crown prince has just subsided, and His Majesty the Emperor has issued another holy decree. The second prince Zhao Chenggao was named King Kang, the third prince Zhao Chengru was named King Liang, and the fourth prince Zhao Chengmin was named King Duan. In addition, they were also given fiefs respectively, so that the three 'new princes' could go to their fiefs as soon as possible. As for the candidate for the crown prince, Zhao Changyuan saw that the courtiers were in a hurry, so he revealed the tone of 'choosing the prince after three years'. With the promise of His Majesty the Emperor, although the courtiers were not very satisfied, they were helpless.

"You mean, King Duan and the princess will come to Huaifeng Mansion?" Lu Xiang'er looked at Huo Qingsong, who came back from the mansion and sneaked into the Li Mansion, and didn't care about him ignoring the 'rules', with some eagerness in her eyes. Compared with Jingshi, Huaifeng Mansion is much closer to Dengzhou. Chaoxia also came to Huaifeng, which meant that Lu Xiang'er could go to see her.

Huo Qingsong saw the joy on Lu Xiang'er's face, and his mood was much better. Nodding, Huo Qingsong said again: "I knew you would be happy with this news." However, you may have to work a little harder later. It's impossible for Princess Duan to leave the fiefdom casually, only you have to work hard to see her. ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Lu Xiang'er hurriedly shook her head, for fear that Huo Qingsong didn't want her to see Chaoxia.

Since coming to Dengzhou, although Lu Xianger's life is very comfortable, there are not many people to talk to. After all, Mrs. Li and Lu Xianger are two generations, and they can say little. And Lu Wei and Lu Yun never said anything when they remembered their identities, and Lu Xianger couldn't treat them as friends. As for the other peers, they are all family members of some officials, and their speech and demeanor are very restrained when interacting with Lu Xiang'er, and Lu Xiang'er is very uncomfortable.

Chaoxia is different, not to mention that Lu Xianger has been friends with her for many years, and they know each other very well. Now the relationship between the two is still cousins, and they are closer. The topic after the meeting is definitely indispensable. The most important thing is that Lu Xianger's life will not be boring in the future.

"That's how happy it is?" The corners of Huo Qingsong's mouth raised slightly, and he said, "I still have good news to tell you." After you hear this, you don't know what kind of happiness you want to be. ”

"What's the news?" Lu Xiang'er didn't expect Huo Qingsong to have something to say, and her eyes suddenly lit up. Seeing that Huo Qingsong didn't speak, only looked at the teapot on the table on the side, Lu Xiang'er hurriedly pursed his lips and smiled to understand what he meant. Pouring a cup of tea, Lu Xiang'er personally held it in front of Huo Qingsong, and said softly: "General Huo, take a sip of tea to moisten your throat." ”

Huo Qingsong's eyes were a little proud, and he took the teacup and drank most of the cup. After putting down the cup, he said lightly: "Brother Hong has been promoted, and he has also been transferred back to the Zhichong Mansion of the Jingshi. If he works harder, he can succeed me and become a 'red man' in front of His Majesty." Also, at his wedding to Yao'er, His Majesty also sent Manager Xiao to congratulate him. ”

"Really, it's a celebration to celebrate." If Chaoxia's matter makes Lu Xiang'er happy, Lu Hong's matter is to surprise Lu Xiang'er. Lu Xiang'er still remembers what Lu Hong once said, one day, he will become a general and not let anyone bully Lu Erniang and Lu Xiang'er. Now, the distance between Lu Hong and the general is shrinking, and Lu Xiang'er believes that Lu Hong has fulfilled his oath.

Speaking of the marriage between Lu Hong and Wen Yao, Lu Xianger thought about Huo Qingqing again, and asked, "Is that Qingqing also married?" ”

"Well, a month after Brother Hong got married, Qingqing married into the Wenfu." When Huo Qingsong heard that Huo Qingqing was married, he was also very emotional. The little sister who followed him back then finally married another woman, but he, who was the elder brother, was not there, which was really incompetent.

When Lu Xiang'er saw Huo Qingsong's eyes, she understood what he was thinking. Walking to Huo Qingsong's side and sitting down, Lu Xiang'er took the initiative to hold his hand and said in a low voice: "When I left Jingshi, I had already prepared a congratulatory gift in the name of the two of us. And there are also A-Niang and Grandpa Guo who are in charge of Qingqing, so don't blame yourself. Qingqing also said that she won't blame you. If you really can't rest assured, we'll send another congratulatory gift after a while, or you can go back to Beijing to visit her. ”

"You've thought so well, what else do I have to worry about?" It was the first time Huo Qingsong saw Lu Xiang'er's comforting appearance, and his heart seemed to be injected with a warm current, which made his expression a lot softer. Looking at the sky outside, Huo Qingsong got up and said in a low voice, "I should go back." Go to bed early today, and I'll come to the Li Mansion on time tomorrow to marry you." ”

"If you don't say that I have forgotten, how can you ignore ......" If Huo Qingsong hadn't reminded her, Lu Xianger really forgot Huo Qingsong's boldness, and came to secretly look at the bride the day before she got married. Lu Xiang'er just wanted to count Huo Qingsong a few words, but he quickly walked out of the house and disappeared. Lu Xiang'er looked at the slightly shaking door, as well as Mrs. Li outside the door, and her face suddenly turned red.
