Chapter 51: Create an opportunity for Yuan Shen
When Emperor Wen heard this, he smiled and said: "The Yuan family's various businesses are doing well, where do you care about this money, you don't have to be too suspicious." As for Cheng Shima......"
When mentioning Cheng Shi, Emperor Wen paused, to be honest, he didn't think Cheng Shi would do such a thing, but it was not good to guarantee him.
In addition, Emperor Wen originally had the intention of supporting the Hanmen, and Cheng Shi and Yan Zhong were typical examples of what he had spent his heart and mind to create, so he naturally didn't want to waste his efforts on this matter.
So he spoke again: "Now that the army is still returning one after another, it is not appropriate to make a big move, this ordnance may as well be slowed down for the time being."
As for you, remembering that you have just triumphed, let you repay it with merit, and there will be no punishment. ”
Ling Budo didn't force it anymore after hearing this, anyway, he did a lot of things to cut first and then play, and when he secretly found out what news, he would report it.
Continuing to sit with Emperor Wen for a while, Ling Budo was about to get up and say goodbye, but Emperor Wen replied: "Now that there is a curfew outside, why are you going back, just stay in the palace for one night, just accompany me to talk more." ”
But Ling Budo didn't want to stay in the palace, after all, his movement in the palace was restricted, and it was inconvenient to track down the Cheng family, so he refused: "The minister has opened the palace independently, and it is a little inappropriate to live in the palace again, it is better to go back to the palace to live, and wait for the minister to enter the palace tomorrow to talk to His Majesty." ”
Then the two exchanged a few more moves, and Emperor Wen really had no choice but to let Ling Budo out of the palace.
However, passing by the Chengyang Marquis's Mansion, Liang Qiu Fei mentioned it casually: "Young Master, we have returned to the capital, and we have not yet visited the Marquis of Chengyang. ”
Ling Budo replied directly: "It's just that I am not filial, they have arranged a lot of crimes against me, and I am not afraid of more." ”
Then he left straight away, with no intention of returning to the Chengyang Marquis Mansion at all.
And that night, after Qu Lengjun returned to the Yuan Mansion, he found Li Hao and talked about it, and asked: "Do you say that Captain Cheng will have anything to do with this matter, and will Ling Zicheng suspect that our family has something to do with the theft and sale of weapons." ”
Seeing that Qu Lengjun was worried about this, Li Hao replied: "He suspects him, anyway, we haven't done it, so there's no need to worry."
As for the Cheng family, I don't seem to be such a profit-hungry person, it's probably just that Dong Cangguan can't control his hands and feet. ”
After listening to Li Hao's explanation, Qu Lengjun nodded slightly, after all, she can only guarantee that her family is okay now, and the situation of the Cheng family can only depend on whether they are upright.
It just so happened that now that Cheng Shi and his wife were back, Qu Lengjun thought that Cheng Shao would have someone to take care of, so he didn't go to Cheng's door again in the next few days.
However, Cheng Shi and his wife later came to Yuan's Mansion to find Li Hao and Qu Lengjun to express their gratitude, and also brought a lot of congratulatory gifts.
And on that day, Yuan Shen was also there, and he met Cheng Shi and his wife for the first time.
However, at this time, Huang Fuyi had not asked Yuan Shen to help deliver the message to Sang Shunhua, and he had not seen Cheng Shaoshang, so he behaved quite calmly in the face of Cheng Shi and his wife.
Seeing this scene, Li Hao thought that it was not far from the Shangyuan Festival now, and he didn't know if the three-eyed Wannian that night would happen like this.
In this regard, Li Hao was still quite curious, thinking about why he had to go out to see the excitement that day.
Then Qu Lengjun led Xiao Yuanyi to meet the Xia Liang family, while Li Hao and Yuan Shen stayed to chat with Cheng Shi, and after the follow-up meal in Yuan's mansion, the two left.
So in the evening, Li Hao learned about Cheng Shaoshang's recent situation from Qu Lengjun, even if she didn't tell Uncle Dong, she was still a thorn in Xiao Yuanyi's mouth.
For this reason, Qu Lengjun complained to Li Hao: "Although Shaoshang is said to be a young man who has lost his education, so he has no talent to learn, but doesn't Mrs. Cheng know the reason for this?
I thought that after Mrs. Cheng came back, she would find a way to make up for the lack of mother-daughter relationship in the past 14 years, and teach Shaoshang carefully.
But judging from Mrs. Cheng's words today, it seems that the situation is not quite what I think. ”
Faced with Qu Lengjun's words, Li Hao didn't know how to answer for a while, if he wanted to say that Xiao Yuanyi didn't care about Cheng Shaoshang, it would definitely not be.
It's just that the means she thinks she cares about are indeed a little difficult to understand and accept, and they are also an important reason for the separation of the mother and daughter.
However, after all, this is a family matter of the Cheng family, and there is really no reason to meddle in Li Hao's position, and Cheng Shaoshang is not a submissive person, so he can't suffer much loss.
So he opened the topic and said: "Listening to what you mean, it seems that I have deep feelings for this mother-daughter relationship, but we don't care about other people's family affairs."
So let's both rest early, so that we can have a daughter, and then let me see with my own eyes how you are a human being. ”
Then he picked up Qu Lengjun and walked to the bedside, only to let Qu Lengjun pat Li Hao and say, "You are ......", and then there was no more.
In the follow-up investigation, even if there was no whistleblower from Cheng Shaoshang, he still found the head of Ge's cloth village, and completely confirmed the fact that Uncle Dong was greedy for ink weapons from the accounts of the cloth village.
At this time, Ling Budo could let go of his actions, and directly brought Uncle Dong out of the edict, and only used some small means to let Uncle Dong tell the truth.
But also, as far as Uncle Dong's greedy and fearful nature of death is concerned, he saw the end of several prisoners who had been severely punished, and then he was frightened by Ling Budo, with Ling Budo's cold-faced appearance of the king of Hades, ordinary people really couldn't bear it.
Therefore, Ling Budo knew that behind this matter there was still a Shaofu Shangfang Ling Xu Quanzhong, who was instructed by him to steal and sell weapons from his uncle, and it had been half a year.
The weapons stolen and sold in this are really not a small number, that is, this matter does not involve Li Hao and Cheng Shi, otherwise this is really a troublesome matter.
But Xu Qianzhong had already sensed that something was wrong when Uncle Dong was arrested, and he fled directly.
By the time Ling Budo sent someone to arrest him again, he didn't know where he was, so he could only find a way to track it down.
For this reason, Ling Budo was not in a good mood, and without the relationship of Cheng Shaoshang, although he still did not take Uncle Dong's life, but before the distribution of the side plug, this flesh and skin pain really did not run, and there was no chance to return to the Cheng Mansion to meet the Cheng family, so he missed a famous scene, which is a pity.
But speaking of this, I have to talk about Emperor Wen's partiality, Ling Budo has all his power in the army, but he can meddle in the affairs of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, this is someone else, and Emperor Wen has to borrow his head.
After Cheng Shi's suspicion was cleared, the reward for him was officially issued, and a seal of Cheng Shi was the Marquis of Guannei, Quling, and 500 households in the city, and he was appointed as the guard Zuo Cheng, and the edict of the official rank of Qianshi was sent to Cheng Fu.
Since then, Cheng Cheng can be regarded as having a formal position, and Wei Wei is in charge of the palace gate guards and palace inspectors, and Wei Wei Zuo Cheng, as one of Wei Weiqing's adjutants, can be regarded as having some power.
And then Cheng Shi informed the news that he was going to move to the old house of Wanjia, and the previous Ge family was set up by Cheng Shaoshang, and made a vow not to move out of the old mansion if he had no heirs.
Then Ge Shi was furious and asked Cheng Shaoshang to settle accounts, but he was provoked to speak unscrupulously, wantonly insulted Cheng Cheng, and was caught by Xiao Yuanyi.
took advantage of the situation to help Cheng Cheng divorce his wife, drive Ge out of the Yuan family, and leave Cheng Ji behind, in order to repay himself for being entrusted by Ge as a fake immortal, so he had to leave Cheng Shaoshang's hatred.
All this was implemented very smoothly, and after getting the news, Ge Taigong rushed to the capital in the starry night, signed a letter of resignation and took Ge away, which made Xiao Yuanyi breathe a bad breath.
Later, Cheng Cheng went to Bailu Mountain to study, and Xiao Yuanyi also took over the job of taking care of Cheng Ji, and then in a favoritism operation, the already alienated relationship between the mother and daughter became even thinner.
It wasn't until after moving to a new home that Cheng Shi's third brother Cheng Zhi, Sang Shunhua and his wife, as well as Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong's two sons, rushed back to the capital.
Under the provocation of Cheng Jiao's mother and maidservant who were full of pulp lakes, Cheng Shaoshang and Xiao Yuanyi started their first official match.
Although Xiao Yuanyi was strongly suppressed in the name of filial piety, Cheng Shaoshang resolutely withstood the pressure, even if he was forced by Xiao Yuanyi in the name of disobedience, he still won the full support of Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong, and in the end, Xiao Yuanyi was speechless and didn't know how to end.
There is no way, in order to show that he is fair and selfless, Xiao Yuanyi sometimes treats others well and treats his own flesh and blood harshly, so that his two biological sons can't stand it.
In the end, Cheng Shaoshang sighed: "My cousin has no mother everywhere, and it seems that there is a mother everywhere, but I actually have a mother, but I seem to have no mother." ", coupled with Sang Shunhua's appearance, the curtain came to an end.
Of course, Cheng Shaoshang's fierce confrontation was not without gains, and he recently earned himself the opportunity to go out freely and was no longer confined to his home.
In addition, he has the upper hand emotionally, and since then, if Xiao Yuanyi does anything against Cheng Shaoshang again, the two sons and Cheng Shi will stand on Cheng Shaoshang's side as soon as possible, so as not to be harshly criticized by Xiao Yuanyi.
In addition to the excitement on the Cheng family's side, Ling Budo also found Xu Qianzhong's hiding place there, but he lost his hand when he was captured alive in the end, allowing Xu Qianzhong to bite the poison and commit suicide.
Originally, if it was just like this, Ling Budo might not have much reaction, after all, a prisoner was dead, and then he could find a way to track it down from other aspects.
But when Ling Budo inadvertently found the birthmark on Xu Qianzhong's neck, he found that this person had appeared in the lonely city and was the one who sent inferior weapons to the lonely city.
Even if he lost his temper, after all, Lonely City has always been the most important place in Ling Budo's heart, and it is also the source of his revenge.
So he immediately ordered a strict investigation of all the people and things related to Xu Qianzhong, and would rather not let go of mistakes, but unfortunately, there was nothing to gain for a while.
It wasn't until the day of the New Year's Day that I saw the lantern in the Xinghua Courtyard that I thought of the lantern of the blacksmith where Xu Qianzhong was hiding.
It just so happened that on the same day, the lord of Yuchang County came to send lanterns to invite Ling Budo to participate in the Shangyuan Lantern Festival together, and Liang Qiu Fei broke the lanterns as a pair, so he planned to go to the Lantern Festival to find someone.
On Li Hao's side, there is nothing important to do recently, after all, there have been no major events in the DPRK and China recently, and the relationship between the prince and Li Hao is not as basic as Ling Budo's from small to large.
Therefore, the prince did not hand over the espionage and seal letter to Li Hao for the time being, but if he was busy with his own affairs, he was still quite idle for Li Hao.
But in this way, Li Hao can still be praised by the prince, so you can imagine how bad Wang Chun was at doing this job.
Now that there was time, Li Hao took the time to visit She, Wu Han, and Gai Yan.
After all, in the past, he was afraid that the stake would make Emperor Wen dissatisfied, but now that he has already won the reward, there is no such problem.
And they are also welcoming to Li Hao, after all, Li Hao has cooperated with them, and the friendship on the battlefield is still very reliable.
Of course, there is a premise in this, as long as Li Hao does not help the prince to pull relations for them.
And just when the Shangyuan Festival was approaching, Li Hao suddenly learned that Huang Fuyi had come to visit when he returned home, whether it was for Huang Fuyi's reputation or his identity as Yuan Shen's teacher, Li Hao had to greet him warmly.
However, it was obvious that Huang Fuyi was not interested in this, but after a polite greeting for a while, he took Yuan Shen to talk about private matters under the pretext.
In this regard, Qu Lengjun thought that he was not well entertained, so he asked Li Hao: "I think Doctor Huangfu is like this, is it that we are not doing well there, you will ask Shanjian later to see what is wrong, and you can't neglect Doctor Huangfu." ”
Li Hao can probably guess what Huang Fuyi is doing here, after all, in the original plot, Yuan Shen threw the hydrangea after Cheng Shaoshang answered the question correctly, and the scene was very abrupt.
Now that I think about it, nine times out of ten, it is to find Cheng Shaoshang to help Sang Shunhua talk and make a preliminary preparation.
After all, in terms of Yuan Shen's character, he has a strong purpose in doing things, and generally does not do meaningless things.
Of course, it is also possible that it is true that one (see) see (color) Zhong (rise) love (meaning), but Li Hao feels that this probability is not too high.
It's just that this time he has his relationship with the Cheng family, whether Yuan Shen will find Cheng Shaoshang for help by himself, it's not necessarily.
Because now Qu Lengjun can also enter and leave the Cheng Mansion house, it is possible that Yuan Shen will come directly to Qu Lengjun to come forward.
Li Hao thought, if this is the case, Yuan Shen and Cheng Shaoshang will not have a chance to meet.
This is not appropriate, Li Hao feels that he still can't cut off Yuan Shen's way of chasing his wife, and this time he is helping, if Yuan Shen really likes it, then he can directly cut off his beard.
Compared with the Lou family, whether it is the family background or the internal environment, it is much better.
Compared with Ling Budo, marrying Yuan Shen will not have Cheng Shaoshang have the opportunity to enter the palace to contact Empress Xuan, which will make Cheng Shaoshang miss something.
But the environment of the Yuan family itself, as long as Cheng Shaoshang marries in, he will not be bad, and as for those tedious things to learn, Qu Lengjun can also teach.
In addition, the most important thing is that Cheng Shi and his wife will definitely like this marriage, the only trouble is Yuan Shen's mouth that is harder than a dead duck, can Cheng Shaoshang agree to marry.
It's just that this is a later story, what Li Hao needs to think about now is how to separate Qu Lengjun for a period of time without telling Qu Lengjun the truth, and create opportunities for Yuan Shen.
