On this western tour, in addition to the additional crown prince, he was accompanied by a number of civil and military officials such as Wu Han, Gai Yan, Ling Budo, Yin Zhi, and Huang Fuyi, so that Emperor Wen could handle all official duties in a timely manner.

After all, even if Empress Xuan is in charge of the country, some important affairs still have to be handled by Emperor Wen himself.

As for the soldiers and horses accompanying the guards, the soldiers and horses of the five battalions of the Northern Army were transferred, the soldiers and horses of the Yue Cavalry Captain and the Shooting Captain of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army, the soldiers and horses of the left and right Yulin Army under Guangluxun, and of course, now the Donggong Guard led by Li Hao is added.

And this addition also added difficulty to the already busy preparations, after all, the prince's complete guard of honor is quite cumbersome, and he has to prepare for the East Palace Guards to prepare the baggage along the road.

Fortunately, this is managed by the Shaofu, and Li Hao doesn't have to worry about it, as long as Li Hao reports the number of soldiers and horses accompanying him as soon as possible, so Li Hao has been busy with this matter in the next few days, and he didn't even have time to go to the birthday banquet of Mrs. Wan, so he only let Qu Lengjun go on Li Hao's behalf.

But although Li Haoren didn't arrive, he still had to do the preparations he should have, before Qu Lengjun went to the banquet, Li Hao told her a thousand times, let her stare at Cheng Shaoshang directly after she passed, and don't let her do anything out of the ordinary.

As a result, after hearing this, Qu Lengjun was quite dissatisfied, and helped Cheng Shaoshang to speak: "How can you say that about Shaoshang, in your eyes, is she so good at causing trouble?"

Li Hao chuckled: "Where is the Ruyang Palace, where she has fought in the face of Wang Ji and their provocations, then she will naturally be even more bold in Wanfu.

This time, it is impossible not to invite the Wang family and the Lou family to hold a banquet in Wanfu, and then they will bump into Cheng Shaoshang again, and it will be strange if they can be honest.

It's better for you to watch as closely as possible, lest Cheng Shaoshang do something earth-shattering, and then be punished by Mrs. Cheng Bo and not be able to come to the plum banquet, and it will not be good to disappoint your brother."

After Qu Lengjun listened to it, although he felt that what Li Hao said seemed to have some truth, in order to maintain the image of Xia Cheng Shaoshang, he still patted Li Hao lightly to show his dissatisfaction.

Then in the banquet, Qu Lengjun did follow him closely, anyway, in the end, I don't know if Cheng Shaoshang had no intention of retaliating this time, or was looked at too closely by Qu Lengjun and didn't find a reason.

Anyway, the stacked bone bridge of the Wan family did not collapse in the end, so naturally there were no many little girls falling into the water, and the incident of Xiao Yuanyi and Cheng Shaoshang playing the board did not happen.

However, this matter went smoothly, but Li Hao encountered some problems in picking people in the East Palace, because this was an opportunity to perform directly in front of Emperor Wen, and naturally there were more people who wanted to follow.

But among these people, Li Hao found that there was one person missing, so he took the initiative to find the prince and told him who he wanted to choose.

When the prince heard this, he asked in surprise, "Do you want to bring the prince's cousin Sun Sheng with you and let him lead a group of people?"

Li Hao replied: "Well, Sun Sheng wasn't introduced by the prince as a guarantor to the East Palace as an official, I think the prince also believes in his ability, so let him lead a group of soldiers and horses to accompany him, is there any problem?

Moreover, he is the cousin of the crown princess, so if he thinks there is no problem in terms of loyalty, then such a capable and loyal person will naturally need to be used."

"Hmm......" The prince stopped talking for a long time, and he didn't say it, because what Sun Sheng's true ability was, where would the prince not know.

The prince is just indecisive and cares about family affection, and he is not really stupid, he can still judge whether the people around him have the ability or not.

He really wanted to ask Li Hao now, are you blinded by lard, how can you think that Sun Sheng is a capable person.

Li Hao didn't care so much here, seeing that the prince didn't directly object, he acquiesced to this matter, and said directly: "Then even if he is the only one who accompanies him this time, I will select the other personnel, and I will list the detailed list for you by tomorrow night at the latest."

After finishing speaking, Li Hao left directly, not giving the prince a chance to refuse at all, after all, Li Hao really wanted to take Sun Sheng with him this time.

As long as this guy follows, it is estimated that Li Hao will not need to deliberately design it, he can do it himself

Dig a big pit to bury yourself, you must know that the outside is not a closed place like the East Palace, as long as he makes a mistake, it will fall into the eyes of Emperor Wen, and the East Palace will definitely not be able to accommodate him at that time.

It's just that Li Hao doesn't know if Sun Sheng will go, after all, this guy suddenly became modest, and it would be strange not to grab this kind of opportunity to show his face.

Sun Sheng's side Li Hao played idle chess, so for others, Li Hao began to select the best of the best, according to the results of the previous Donggong Wei rate in the previous ordinary training, to select the most suitable candidate.

Because these achievements are transparent, they are more convincing to everyone, as for Sun Sheng's words, if he really goes and grabs a position, Li Hao can also point the finger of dissatisfaction at himself and the crown princess, and let the two of them pull hatred.

Just when Li Hao was busy in full swing, the prince suddenly came and told Li Hao a piece of news: "Just now Sun Sheng sent someone to send news that he fell off on the way to ride a horse and broke his leg, and it is estimated that he will not be able to participate in this western tour."

Hearing this news, Li Hao was a little disappointed, but he didn't care too much, after all, since he was hiding in front of him, it was really not easy to let him come out, so he could only wait for him to come back and then find a way, and now he should let him go.

After thinking about it, Li Hao said to the prince, "Oh, is it such a coincidence, when it was time to use him, he broke his leg, which is really bad luck.

In that case, then I don't want him, and I'll pick the right person again."

When the prince saw Li Hao's relief, he was also relieved, and immediately said, "Then please leave everything to Ziyang."

Later, Li Hao completed the list of the western tour and reported it to the prince, so he could be a little more relaxed.

At this time, the date for the Yuan Mansion to hold a plum banquet arrived, so Li Hao deliberately stayed in the mansion for a day, wanting to see what the results of Yuan Shen and Cheng Shaoshang had as soon as possible.

Since the women invited this time were all from various prefectures, it was the Liang family and Qu Lengjun who came forward to entertain them.

As for Li Hao and Yuan Shen, they stayed in the inner hall and waited for news to see what the talks between the Liang family and the Cheng family would be.

It's just that Yuan Shen seemed to have lost his previous calm at this time, and he was a little restless, so Li Hao laughed and said, "Wait for the Cheng family to come, what do you say Mrs. Cheng will say to her mother."

However, with Cheng Shaoshang's temper, I am afraid that if Mrs. Cheng Bo agrees, she may not be able to give in."

Speaking of feelings, Yuan Shen's face was no longer as calm as before, his face turned dark, and he said, "You don't have to worry about my affairs, I have my own way to deal with it, you just need to handle your own affairs."

Speaking of which, aren't you going to accompany His Majesty on his western tour with the crown prince this time, how can you have time to stay in the mansion today?"

Li Hao replied: "I'm busy with things that should be busy, I'll rest at home for a day today, I just care about you as a brother, but you still don't appreciate it, it's really hurtful."

"Are you concerned, you're obviously watching the excitement." After Yuan Shen finished speaking angrily, he said with a straight face: "By the way, I just have something serious to tell you, this time Your Majesty is on a tour of the west, and the imperial master is also among the officials accompanying him.

He now has plans to return to his hometown, so he intends to take me with him, and push me again, do you think I should go?"

Hearing this, Li Hao said, "This is a good thing, and naturally it should go."

Yuan Shen said: "Your Majesty will definitely not refuse the recommendation of the Imperial Master before sending him to the office, but in this way, will it hinder you."

Li Hao replied, "If you say that there will definitely be obstacles, but I will naturally have a way to deal with it then, so don't worry about it.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Yuan Shen was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Is this news true, who could be so bold?"

Li Hao explained: "Nine times out of ten, but it's not so sure who it will be, Your Majesty's trip this time was originally to lure the snake out of the hole, if you knew, you would have caught it directly, and it wouldn't be a waste of this strength."

"It's good that you know about this yourself, and don't talk about it to the outside world, so as not to cause any trouble." In response to Li Hao's reminder, Yuan Shen nodded, indicating that he understood.

Soon after, the invited girls from all the mansions came one by one, and Yuan Fuzhong also became more and more lively, which also made Yuan Shen more and more nervous, making Li Hao look funny.

It was also at this time that Yuan Shen's Fu mother suddenly walked in and said to Yuan Shen, "Eldest son, Madame now invites you to come over, saying that you have something to say."

At this time, Yuan Shen was asked to come over, and Yuan Shen could naturally guess what it was for, and even if he got up to leave.

At this time, I heard Li Hao say, "Oh, then can I go over and listen."

Yuan Shen said angrily, "You just stay here, what kind of excitement is there."

Yile, who looked at Fu's mother, also said, "Second son, Madame only called the eldest son, not you."

Li Hao pursed his lips when he heard this, spread his hands, and pretended to be very helpless: "Okay, it seems that this excitement is not so good."

The two ignored Li Hao and left directly, Li Hao was not in a hurry anyway, because he had already agreed with Qu Lengjun that he would come over to inform him when there was confirmed news.

But Li Hao waited for a long time, and no one came to pass the word, which made Li Hao curious, could it be that the conversation really collapsed, and it shouldn't be.

Xiao Yuanyi should be impossible to object to this marriage, after all, the Yuan family's family background and Yuan Shen's own talents are all first-class in the world.

And Cheng Shaoshang may not be so easy to accept, but she has no one in her heart now, even if she will resist, it will not be too intense.

After waiting for a long time to no avail, Li Hao wanted to find someone to go over and listen, but in the end he held back.

waited until it was close to dusk, Qu Lengjun finally came over, and Li Hao hurriedly asked, "What happened to you, why has there been no news?"

Qu Lengjun sighed and said, "Don't mention it, I really didn't expect the Young Chamber of Commerce to be so stubborn in the past, and I didn't want to open my mouth to agree, but I made Mrs. Cheng Bo angry.

Originally, everything was fine in front, but after looking at Shaoshang for a while, Jun Gu pulled Mrs. Cheng Bo into the house alone to discuss for a while, and basically felt that it was appropriate.

So I called my son-in-law and Shaoshang in, but the two of them quarreled for some reason, and when I asked Shaoshang for advice again, she was unwilling to let go, which made Mrs. Cheng Bo angry.

But the strange thing is that the uncle-in-law looks at it without any problems, and even feels quite happy, and helps to persuade Mrs. Cheng Bo to be comfortable, I don't know what I'm thinking."

"Brother doesn't have a lost expression at all." Li Hao asked curiously.

Qu Lengjun shook his head: "No, so I feel quite strange, he doesn't want to marry Shaoshang!" I don't even know if I want to persuade Shaoshang now."

To be honest, this situation was also something Li Hao didn't expect, it seems that Yuan Shen is still not as good as Lou Yao in terms of likability.

I just don't know if it's bad on that mouth this time, and if it is pulled out, it will be better.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Hao thought about it before he said, "Forget it, since Brother didn't say anything himself, it is estimated that he has a plan in his heart, so he should leave this matter to himself."

I don't know what his plan is, but if you accidentally destroy it, it won't be beautiful."

After listening to Li Hao's words, Qu Lengjun replied, "Okay, then wait and see what happens, and by the way, you can also ask your son-in-law."

Li Hao nodded and agreed, but in fact, Li Hao really didn't ask later, anyway, Li Hao felt that he had done everything he could, if this didn't work, then it was really providential, and he couldn't go against the sky.

lest something go wrong with the people, it would be bad to have Li Hao to take the blame at that time.

It's just that Li Hao didn't go to Yuan Shen, but Yuan Shen took the initiative to find Li Hao to borrow someone.

Li Hao was puzzled: "What are you asking me to borrow a trilogy for, you are accompanying Your Majesty on a western tour this time, don't you still want to bring your own trilogy?"

Yuan Shen replied: "That's naturally not good, I'll ask you to borrow the part for your own use, you can say whether to give it or not."

After hearing this, Li Hao stared at Yuan Shen for a long time, and said, "I heard that Cheng Zhi was sent to Hua County to serve as a county magistrate, and he should be going to leave in these days.

And Hua County is on the way of His Majesty's western tour, and there may be danger, so if you want to borrow the song, it won't be for them.

But if it's just Cheng Zhi and his wife, you shouldn't be so concerned, and it's hard for Cheng Siniang to accompany you."

It's actually quite possible to think about it this way, after all, Cheng Shaoshang also angered Xiao Yuanyi this time, and it's normal to go out to avoid the limelight.

Yuan Shen didn't answer Li Hao's question directly, but said again: "You just say whether to borrow or not, ask so much and do nothing."

Seeing Yuan Shen's stiff mouth, Li Hao smiled and said, "That's it, I don't ask you what you want to do, you just answer whether you want to protect the female roll."

If so, some of the martial maids I trained at the beginning are in the manor outside the city, and I can transfer a batch to you.

After all, it is more convenient for them to protect the women's rolls."
