Chapter 113: The Matchmaker
After the Ling family's affairs were dealt with, the capital suddenly fell into peace.
Especially based on the fact that Emperor Wen is rarely powerful, no one dares to defy the wind anymore, so it is much more subdued than usual.
But Li Hao didn't care about this, but was thinking, where did this fifth percent go, could it be that he was no longer in the capital, otherwise how could he not find it.
In desperation, Li Hao could only put this matter down first, and then told Yuan Wo to inform Yuan Wo of the news of the arrest of Wucheng, and to hide it from Yuan Pei.
However, this time, Li Hao is still confident, after all, after two years of adjustment, the manpower that Li Hao can call is no longer exactly the batch brought out from the Yuan family back then, and the secrecy of Yuan Pei can be said to have been greatly enhanced.
It's just that these other people are alive, but Huo Budo can't live safely, of course, it's not that someone is targeting him.
After all, at this time, no one with a discerning eye can see that Emperor Wen's favor for him is increasing day by day, and now he dares to provoke Huo Budo, so he doesn't need to take action himself, Emperor Wen will take the initiative to teach you how to behave.
Now the main reason is that Emperor Wen can't hide his excitement, and he has to find a reason to reward Huo Budo in three days, as if he wants to put the glory of the Huo family on him at once.
not only gave the Huo family acres of land and acres, but also gave the Huo family back all the fertile fields, and even moved the idea of giving Huo Budo a knighthood.
Of course, this is not a problem, after all, with Huo Budo's military exploits, there is no problem with a knighthood, the original was not canonized just because he was the only son of the Ling family at that time, and he will definitely inherit the title of Marquis of Chengyang in the future, and there is no need to give him a knighthood again.
It's just that you have to find a reasonable reason, and you want to seal the title with a sentence of doing things well, which is a bit too much.
Huo Budo was embarrassed, and took the initiative to find Emperor Wen to persuade him: "Your Majesty, my dynasty has a law that is not a marquis for military merits, and His Majesty has been rewarded for his past merits, but now he is only afraid that it will make the world talk about it for no reason, and please think twice."
Emperor Wen didn't care about this, and replied directly: "Your father died early for the sake of state affairs, and I have always regretted it, and now I should put the glory of the Huo family on you, so that you can re-prop up the lintel of the Huo family.
This is not given to you, but to your father, so you don't have to think that there is any problem, let alone just a Guan Neihou, even if it is a liehou, you deserve it, and the official rank and food will have to be made up for you a lot.
In short, Wu Han has as many as they have, and your father should have as many as they have, just to give it to you at one time, and it is easy for the outside group of imperial historians to make irresponsible remarks, so I will only give you a Guan Neihou first, and after a while, I will find a way to improve you."
After hearing this, Huo Budo immediately replied: "Your Majesty, you have rewarded the ministers a lot before, and the ministers are alone, and they want to do much with the world-wide inheritance.
If a minister wants to be a marquis, he should naturally obtain it from his own horse, and not take refuge in the prestige of his father, and I think that if his father were alive, he would think so."
Emperor Wen naturally wouldn't give up like this, but this attention changed direction slightly, after all, compared to this official rank, the continuation of the Huo family's heirs is obviously more important.
After all, he can give him the official rank and title at any time, but the continuation of this heir has to be done by Huo Budo.
Before, Huo Budo only had the blood of the Huo family, and Emperor Wen was already in a hurry, but now this is directly Huo Chong's son, and Emperor Wen's urgency is naturally even worse.
So he asked, "By the way, you originally refused to marry because you remembered the incident of the lonely city back then, and you wanted to avenge the Huo family and the people of the lonely city.
But now that Ling Yi has died of guilt, you should also let it go, now you have a favorite object, I will give you a marriage immediately."
When it comes to this topic, Huo Budo has a headache, fortunately, he has been urged to marry for several years, and he still has some experience.
Even though Emperor Wen's urgency is even worse now, Huo Budo always emphasizes that he wants to find a confidant and beloved, blocking the mouth that Emperor Wen wants to introduce.
For a while, the two of them fell into a stalemate for a while, and they happened to meet Li Hao who came over to deliver the music that the prince had seen, which was unconsciously relieved of Huo Budo, which made Huo Budo breathe a sigh of relief.
Now although Li Hao is still nominally the crown prince, in fact, in addition to being in charge of the East Palace Guards, he is also responsible for handling some clerical affairs.
Because after Lou Taifu was driven away, Emperor Wen did not arrange a new crown prince, which can be regarded as acquiescing to letting Li Hao interfere.
After all, under the influence of Li Hao, the crown prince is indeed much more advanced than under Lou Taifu, which Emperor Wen has always seen.
After handing over the group to Emperor Wen, Li Hao asked Emperor Wen as usual if there was anything he needed to tell the prince.
Then I heard Emperor Wen ask: "Ziyang, why didn't you invite Zicheng to the 100-day banquet held by your family a few days ago, I heard the prince say that you want to take this opportunity to introduce Zicheng to marriage, why did you change your hexagram."
When Li Hao heard this, his face froze, he did say this to the prince at the beginning, but at that time he purely wanted to block Huo Budo, so he forgot about it later.
But in the face of Emperor Wen, he definitely couldn't say it directly, fortunately, he also gave Huo Budo a post at that time, but he himself said that he had something to do.
Therefore, there can be a reason: "This is the minister's negligence, when the minister gave Zicheng a post, Zicheng said that something would not come.
Chen thought that there were too many things that had happened recently, and Zicheng might not be very convenient, so he didn't insist."
Regarding Li Hao's statement, Huo Budo did not refute it, after all, this is indeed the truth.
couldn't stand Emperor Wen not thinking so, and immediately said: "That's also your problem, since the words have been spoken, you should do it, Zicheng can't say it, you won't be invited, isn't this too insincere."
Li Hao didn't know how to take what he said, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart, you can't hold Huo Budo, and you want to use yourself to relieve your anger.
In this regard, Li Hao thought that it was okay to help give out his anger, and he would not lose a hair anyway: "Yes, the minister knows that he is wrong, and he will definitely find an opportunity to help Zicheng match the marriage next time."
Originally, Li Hao was done now, but Emperor Wen didn't play his cards according to the routine, so he directly got off the donkey and said, "Well, it's good if you have this heart, then I will explain Zicheng's marriage to you, you must help him find a marriage partner as soon as possible, otherwise I will punish you."
"Ah......" Li Hao and Huo Budo were dumbfounded at the same time when they heard this.
It's okay to use the marriage to block Huo Budo, but if you really want to find a suitable marriage partner for him, how can it be so easy.
After all, throughout the development of the plot, Huo Budo has no other girls in his eyes except for being a little different from Cheng Shaoshang, and he doesn't even have a spare tire for the second girl, so he can't let Huo Budo dismantle Yuan Shen's good deeds.
And even if Li Hao wants to demolish it, now Cheng Shaoshang's personality has changed differently from the original development, maybe Huo Budo will look at it and still have a heart-warming feeling.
Therefore, in the face of Emperor Wen's questioning, Li Hao could only stubbornly prepare to resign, but Emperor Wen stood up first and said, "Ziyang is doing things, I have always been at ease, this matter will be handed over to you, I have other things to do, so I will not leave you two."
After saying that, Emperor Wen himself walked the fastest, and left from the back of the hall in the blink of an eye, leaving only Li Hao and Huo Budo looking at each other in the palace.
There's no way, this Emperor Wen dumped the pot and left, but Li Hao has to mean something, anyway, even if it doesn't work out, at most, it will be useless to be scolded by Emperor Wen.
Compared with himself, Huo Budo must be one of the blind dates more uncomfortable than himself, thinking about it like this, Li Hao suddenly felt much more comfortable.
Sure enough, there is no harm if there is no comparison, just as Li Hao figured out and was about to pull Huo Budo, he saw that his speed was faster than that of Emperor Wen, and his kung fu disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The two parties ran away, and Li Hao also went back to the East Palace first, anyway, the monk ran away and couldn't run away from the temple, so he moved his home if he had the ability.
By the way, in the East Palace, Li Hao also told the prince about the wrongs he encountered in the palace, which made the prince laugh.
"Zicheng's marriage has now become a piece of the father's heart, if you can really solve this matter, the father will definitely have to thank you again."
When Li Hao heard this, he replied helplessly, "Then I have to have it
This ability is the only way to do it, just Zicheng has that temper, and there is no hope for forcing him to bow his head, after all, His Majesty has not been able to do it.
But if you want to help him find someone who is close to him, this makes me start with a specific standard, and it's okay to just try it by luck."
"Then it depends on Ziyang's luck, maybe it's done!" The prince patted Li Haode on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and then left.
When he returned to the mansion, Li Hao found Wang Ji and Qu Lengjun, talked about Huo Budo, and asked them to find an opportunity to hold a downstream garden party, and invite more unmarried women of appropriate age in the high gate of the capital to participate.
The two naturally have no opinion on this, anyway, in this era, the people are open, and women's gatherings are commonplace.
It's just that for Huo Budo to match the marriage, Wang Ji said that it was very difficult, and Li Hao had worked hard.
The matter of holding a garden party here has been solved, and the only thing left is how to let Huo Budo participate, which has become a problem that Li Hao urgently needs to solve.
So there was a scene where Li Hao went to Huo's Mansion to block the door after finishing his official business, and once blocked Huo Budo so that he didn't go back to the house.
After all, he also has a few courtyards in the capital, so he doesn't have to worry about a place to live.
No way, Li Hao could only get the idea of the crown prince and let him invite Huo Budo into the East Palace for official reasons, and then finally blocked him in the East Palace.
After Huo Budo saw Li Hao, he couldn't help but be angry with the prince and said, "Your Highness, you actually helped him deal with me?"
The prince smiled: "Ziyang is also running an errand for his father, so you should be considerate and follow him on a trip, what if you meet the right one?"
Li Hao also heard the words and said, "Yes, you should be helping me go back and go to the garden for a while, at least let me have an explanation in front of His Majesty."
Huo Budo replied, "Then this time, next time you don't do such meaningless things."
"Okay, then make an appointment, I'll personally pick you up in Huo Mansion when I arrive." Li Hao agreed, but in his heart, Li Hao didn't think so.
There are one and two things in this matter, there must be a start first, and how can Emperor Wen's mouth be blocked just once, anyway, Li Hao has calculated in his heart, and he wants to leave Huo Budo with a deep memory of the blind date.
On the agreed day, Li Hao went to Huofu early to block the door, dragged him to the garden party, and dragged him around the female roll.
But after a busy day, there was no harvest as expected, and Ling Budo didn't take a fancy to anyone.
