Chapter Twenty-Three: Becoming an Official Again

Because judging from this situation, it is obvious that Li Hao has deep affection for Qu Lengjun, and he has premeditated for this.

Emperor Wen was ruthless, he directly used the reputation of Li Hao and the Yuan family to clear up the previous rumors, and forcibly picked up the prince.

But in this hall, Li Hao is not easy to refute, which is really a little depressing.

The only consolation is that Emperor Wen probably knew that this thing was not authentic, so he was not too stingy with Li Hao's reward.

Li Hao was appointed as the councilor, with an official rank of 600 stones, under the jurisdiction of Guangluxun, who was in charge of the adviser and could participate in the government affairs.

Of course, it is only possible to participate in the government affairs, that is to say, when the emperor summons him for inquiry, he can put forward opinions and suggestions on the table, but in essence he has no real power.

But that's fine, anyway, Li Hao doesn't plan to stay in the capital in the past few years, and now this official position can be regarded as convenient for him to go back to work.

As soon as the reward was over, Li Hao and Qu Lengjun planned to retire, after all, according to Li Hao's official rank after the reward, he did not have the qualifications to go to the court, and Qu Lengjun did not have it.

As a result, as soon as this came out of the Xuande Palace, there were attendants waiting here early, and they came forward and said, "Chang Anjun, the queen summoned you to the Changqiu Palace for questioning?" ”

Hearing this, Qu Lengjun immediately looked at Li Hao, although he didn't speak, he obviously asked Li Hao's opinion.

That's right, after today's movement of Emperor Wen in the court, the marriage of the two families is completely decided, after all, if it is just those rumors and the dialogue between these few people in the palace, if the two families really want to oppose it, it is not impossible to do it.

After all, Emperor Wen still had to scruple about the Yuan and Qu families, but now that Emperor Wen has put the matter on the table, the two families want to oppose it again, but they really slapped Emperor Wen in the face.

And Li Hao didn't want to stop it, after all, Qu Lengjun had been with Empress Xuan for several years, and now it is appropriate to talk about this situation.

Anyway, there is no danger, after all, Qu Lengjun is not Cheng Shaoshang, not to mention that he is talented and has good conduct, let's just say that those noble girls in the palace want to bully people and divide people.

Qu and Yuan are not the new generals of the Cheng family, with this identity, those princesses in the palace dare to be sarcastic at most, and if they really want to do it, they have to weigh whether they can bear the consequences.

So Li Hao replied: "Since the queen is looking for you, you can go quickly, and I won't wait for you outside the palace, after you go home, help me pass the word to the princess, and say that I will visit my cousin and uncle in two days." ”

Qu Lengjun nodded when he heard this, and then left with the chamberlain, while Li Hao went out of the palace gate directly, but Li Hao didn't leave directly, but waited for Liang Wuji here.

As a result, I waited until three o'clock in the hour, and I saw that the courtiers came out one after another, but Liang Wuji was still missing, but Xiao Yuehou took the initiative to come over.

said: "Yuan Gongzi came to the capital this time, not only was he recruited by His Majesty to join the government, but by the way, he also got a family business, which is really gratifying, but I don't know if Yuan Gongzi is willing to take me to make a fortune in this business in the future." ”

Li Hao said with a smile: "What Yuehou said, this mutually beneficial deal is naturally to be done, but I am afraid that Yuehou will not want to earn these three melons and two dates." ”

Hearing Li Hao's words, Xiao Yuehou smiled even more, if he was just doing business, although he liked to make money, he wouldn't take it too seriously.

Anyway, even if there is no way for the Yuan family, he can earn money from other businesses, it's just more and less.

What he was really worried about was whether the Yuan family's position would change after this incident, although he thought that such a probability was not large, but with Li Hao's reply, he could be regarded as truly relieved.

Just as he was about to speak, a voice came out directly from the side: "If Yuehou doesn't want to earn it, just leave this business to me, anyway, Yuehou's family has a big business, and I don't care about this bit of scattered silver, right." ”

Xiao Yuehou immediately replied: "If you talk about the wealth of the family, how can I compare to Cui Hou, what you said is against your heart." ”

Cui You laughed twice, and then said to Li Hao: "Originally, I was thinking about how long the post would be sent to your house, but I didn't see you come to visit my house, and I was going to ask you for a question."

But now that you're busy with your business and private affairs, I won't worry about the previous things, but now that your affairs are over, it's time for us to discuss how to do the business in the future. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuehou also helped a few words, and asked Li Hao to determine a time to settle this matter.

Li Hao replied: "Don't worry, the two marquis, I will visit your house in just these two days, and I won't miss something." ”

The two of them were quite satisfied with Li Hao's reply, and then Cui You asked: "By the way, didn't you leave the palace a long time ago, why are you still staying here and not leaving." ”

Li Hao replied: "I have something to say to my cousin, this is not to wait for him to disperse here, by the way, why didn't others come out with you." ”

"Then you can wait, he was just taken away by His Majesty to speak, maybe when he will be able to leave the palace!"

Hearing Cui You's words, Li Hao said helplessly: "Okay, since I can't wait for him for a while, then I'll go directly to his house and wait." ”

"Okay, then I'm just leaving, you just remember to come to my house anyway." After saying that, Cui You left, and then Xiao Yuehou said hello and left.

It's that Li Hao didn't make it in the end, because Wang Chun came out of nowhere, and his purpose is the same as Cui You and Xiao Yuehou, and he is also here for business.

So Li Hao had to make an appointment with him again before sending him away, and finally got out, so Li Hao planned to leave quickly.

As a result, he suddenly found that Qu Lengjun had come out, so he stopped again, and Qu Lengjun also found Li Hao's figure at this time, so he walked straight over.

"You're waiting for me, didn't you just say you won't wait!" Facing Qu Lengjun's questioning, Li Hao replied: "I originally planned to do so, but it didn't happen that there was nothing to do, so I sat here for a while."

By the way, I talked to Xiao Yuehou and Cui Hou about something, and since you are out now, you just happened to go along the way. ”

"Okay, drop by." Qu Lengjun smiled slightly, and walked to his carriage.

As for Li Hao, he simply didn't get into his own carriage, and directly asked the ministry to bring a horse to ride, ready to ride along.

Of course, before leaving, Li Hao specially ordered someone to stay, wait for Liang Wuji outside the palace gate, and inform him of the news that he invited him to meet.

After all, at this time, Li Hao really didn't want to go to Liang's house as a guest, not because he was afraid that Liang Yuan's mother and son would find trouble, but just watching them splash and roll in front of him was too embarrassing, and Liang Wuji should suffer this crime alone.

After the arrangements were made, Li Hao followed the Qu family's team and walked slowly beside Qu Lengjun's carriage.

Through this thin curtain, Li Hao and Qu Lengjun did not speak, mainly because Li Hao didn't know what to say for a while, after all, this marriage came too unexpectedly.

Silently, the two walked to the door of Qu Mansion, and when Qu Lengjun was about to get out of the car and go back to the house, Li Hao said: "I won't enter the house today, and after I return home and prepare a gift, I will come to visit my cousin and uncle officially." ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but Qu Lengjun suddenly said at this time: "The crown prince in the Changqiu Palace is also here today, and you must have heard about my affairs with him."

But I can assure you that I have never been too far from him before, and that I have broken off with him today in the presence of the Queen's mother, and that I will have nothing to do with him again. ”

Li Hao stopped at this time, looked at Qu Lengjun and said, "I naturally believe you in this matter, although I haven't met you many times, but I also know that you are of noble character, so you don't have to take this matter to heart."

And I'm not the eldest son in the family, I'm afraid that you won't be able to be my Yuan clan's wife, but I'm a little wronged by you. ”

After a pause, Li Hao continued: "Okay, you go back to the house first, and when I am ready, I will come over again, and as for the specific matters after that, I will ask my mother to handle it myself." ”

"Okay." After hearing this, Qu Lengjun agreed softly, and then turned around and walked towards the house, but the pace was a little hurried.

After watching Qu Lengjun enter the mansion, Li Hao left directly, and when he returned to his own mansion, he hurriedly wrote two more letters about today's events, and asked people to send them back to Jiaodong and Xuzhou urgently.

After all, things have changed from the original, and the two of them must be told as soon as possible, the only thing Li Hao is a little worried about is that the Liang family may not be so easy to invite.

If there is really no way, Li Hao can only go back and invite him personally, and he may not have to come to the capital at that time, it is the same to go directly to the Qu family's hometown to discuss relatives, and the distance is closer, maybe the Liang family is still easy to talk.

After finishing this, Li Hao had a good lunch in the mansion, and then ordered someone to pick up the gifts that could be brought to Qufu in the mansion, and waited for Liang Wuji to come by the way, which was at the end of the day.

Li Hao couldn't help but ask Liang Wuji: "Your Majesty, what is the important matter to explain to you, as for saying it for such a long time." ”

Liang Wuji heard the words and replied: "That is naturally an important matter, the place where I will be released is decided, I will go to Yuzhou to take up a post, and I will leave in a few days, Your Majesty naturally has something to explain." ”

"Oh, this is a great event, Yuzhou is a good place, this time I left the heart of Yuzhou, the situation there is much better than Xuzhou, I am here to congratulate my uncle." Li Hao replied.

"This is the first thing Your Majesty told me, and there is another thing about you, Your Majesty feels that your marriage is indeed set for you in a hurry, so I specially ordered someone to prepare a congratulatory gift, let me send it to you, and apologize.

I asked people to follow the escort, and I guess it will be there later. Regarding Li Hao's congratulations, Liang Wuji did not answer, but said.

"Your Majesty, this is a slap in the face and then a sweet date to eat, so I have to thank Your Majesty Longen."

Hearing this, Liang Wuji said: "Don't complain, let others listen to this, it's not good." And the girl of the Qu family is not worthy of you at any point, where do you have to gossip. ”

Li Hao smiled when he heard this, and said: "Don't worry, uncle, I'm not stupid, I naturally won't say some things to others, and our majesty is broad-minded, even if he listens to this complaint, it doesn't hurt."

In addition, this person should always have some shortcomings, so that people can rest assured, after all, before Emperor Er was called emperor, he was a great sage admired by all the people. ”

Liang Wuji replied: "Okay, you always have a point, I won't argue with you, you ordered someone to invite me outside the palace, what is the specific matter." ”

Li Hao replied: "That's the case, now the marriage is roughly decided, but my mother is far away in Jiaodong, although I have sent someone to invite her to the capital, but I can't come so soon."

This time is too long, and the Qu family can't leave it alone, so I would like to ask you to accompany me to Qufu as an elder and pay a formal visit. ”

"You're right, you need to pay an official visit to Qufu, when are you going to go." Liang Wuji asked.

Li Hao replied: "I have already ordered someone to pick out gifts, I was worried that there would be less, and I would need to go to the Fang Market to purchase some, but it just so happens that Your Majesty has also sent some now, and I will bring it with me when I organize it, and it should be about the same."

In this case, it won't take long, just go the day after tomorrow and don't delay your preparations. ”

"Okay, just do as you say, I'll come here early the next morning and visit Qufu with you." Liang Wuji agreed, but then directly answered: "What do you eat for dinner at your house, let them cook more, and I will stay at your house for dinner today."

By the way, remember to ask them to do some new tricks, it just so happens that I have a long experience with you. ”

Li Hao smiled when he heard this: "Okay, I'll let the chef prepare to ensure that you are satisfied, but haven't the chefs around you also come to me to learn the arts, and the skills should be good." ”

Liang Wuji replied: "That also depends on who you compare with, somehow, the same meal, the cooks in my house are not as delicious as yours." ”

"It's not very normal, after all, how can this own food have the fragrance of other people's homes, this is common sense." Liang Wuji pointed at Li Hao and smiled when he heard this: "You, ......." ”

After laughing, Li Hao asked about the matter: "By the way, now that the matter between me and Qu Lengjun is well known, I think that Liang Yuan's mother and son will definitely not be able to sit still, how are you going to deal with them." ”

Liang Wuji replied: "Don't worry, since Your Majesty has come forward in this matter, the elders of the Liang family also know the severity of this matter, and they will not support Liang Yuan to mess around."

It's just to let her toss, and then she will know the severity, and then send them back to their hometown in Hedong.

It's just about Liang Shang's marriage, I'm afraid that I have to choose the right one for him, but I'm afraid that your Yuan family will also have to contribute. ”

Li Hao can naturally understand this truth, but he is just contributing to Liang Shang, Li Hao is somewhat unwilling in his heart, and the most important thing is that Li Hao does not think that it is a good thing for Liang Shang to succeed as the head of the Liang family.

Thinking that Liang Wuji is not a person who can't give birth to a son, in the back, he married Qu Lengjun after Liang Shang's death, didn't he also give birth to a son.

Although he definitely can't marry Qu Lengjun now, as long as he has the ability to have children, it will be the same for another person, so he can't help but say.

"Uncle Tang, you really want Yuan Shang to succeed you as the head of the family, do you really think he has the ability?

Anyway, you are still young, if you don't marry a wife and concubine, and give birth to a son at that time, with your personal teaching, I think you will be more capable of running the family in the future. ”
