By the following year, Wang Ji and Qu Lengjun gave birth to another son and a daughter to Li Hao, allowing Li Hao to complete the achievement of having both children and daughters.

After that, when he recovered his body, it was time to return to the capital to attend the wedding of Yuan Shen and Cheng Shaoshang.

It's just that after the discussion between Wang Ji and Qu Lengjun, Qu Lengjun finally went back alone and left Wang Ji behind.

In the name of beauty, there is no one to take care of Li Hao, and they can't rest assured.

But in essence, it is not to put an end to the possibility of other people being too favored, even if this possibility is not great, but it is better to prevent problems before they happen, after all, Emperor Wen's experience is still there.

If it weren't for Concubine Yue and the queen having an awkward relationship with Emperor Wen at the same time, let a palace maid seize the opportunity to climb onto the dragon bed and give birth to the five princes, there would not be an extra Xu beauty out of thin air.

Before, they were pregnant, so they had no choice but to give Li Hao a concubine, but now that their bodies have recovered, they naturally can't give Li Hao a chance again.

And this child was born a few months ago, and it can't be taken away together, so it is necessary to leave someone to watch, after all, Li Hao is mainly outside to deal with official business, and it is always not so reassuring to hand over the child to others.

Li Hao pretended not to know anything about this, anyway, Li Hao didn't really plan to open the harem, the main thing was enough.

Especially looking at the cycle of making up for the void and making up for the void in the fifth percentage, Li Hao also deeply felt the importance of physical health.

However, although the fifth percent has suffered some crimes, it is still good overall, at least the heirs under his knees have reached double digits.

For this reason, Yuan Pei, who had already received the news, was extremely happy, and specially wrote to praise Li Hao for his good life, saying that Li Hao had done a very good job.

If it weren't for the fact that Xuzhou was too far away from Shu County, I was afraid that he would want to come over in person to see the fifth percent.

Of course, it's a good thing that he didn't come, otherwise if he saw the ghost of Wucheng now, he was afraid that he wouldn't be happy.

Later, when Qu Lengjun returned from the capital, it was almost the end of the year, and it took nearly half a year to stay in the capital.

Among them, Shu County has changed a lot, because of Li Hao's series of measures to revitalize the people's livelihood and economy, the people of Shu County have basically achieved surplus food at home, and even some families who are proficient in knitting still have spare money to cut new clothes and eat a few meals of meat for their families.

Don't look at this change, it doesn't seem to be much, but for the people of this era, it can also be called a prosperous scene.

If it weren't for the strict management of the people's household registration now, I am afraid that the people from the surrounding counties of Shu County would have gathered long ago.

But even so, they still got a lot of dividends, but it wasn't as obvious as Shu County.

In addition to the changes in Shu County, a lot of things happened in the capital during this time, the biggest of which should be that the prince married another wife and was named Liangdi, second only to the crown princess.

After all, the crown princess has not had an heir for many years, and Emperor Wen and Empress Xuan remembered the old relationship, so they didn't say anything, and always wanted to give her some more chances.

But now that too much time has passed, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, if there is no heir under his knees, how can he sit on the throne in the future.

Therefore, under the instruction of Emperor Wen, Empress Xuan was in charge and helped the prince designate a candidate, who was the youngest daughter of Marquis Yu, who was born in the family of Jinghua heroes.

Obviously, this candidate is not decided by patting his brain, but deliberately forming checks and balances around the prince, so that the family factions represented by Yuan, Liang, and Qu can stand side by side with the heroes of Jinghua in the future, and do not let one family dominate.

Moreover, the crown prince himself is weak, and having a strong support from relatives can also ensure the stability of the imperial power, which the crown princess cannot do.

Therefore, at this point, it is actually doomed to the future fate of the crown princess, although she will not be able to give birth to a son, it stands to reason that it will not pose any threat.

But if she is allowed to be the queen, how should the future prince deal with himself, if the name is not right, it will not be good.

If the crown princess is smart enough to take the initiative to let go, she may be able to enjoy wealth for a long time, but the problem is that she doesn't have the brain, and she is still narrow-minded.

After learning the news, the crown princess made a big fuss in the East Palace

went directly to the Changqiu Palace.

Queen Xuan has a good temper, she didn't plan to do anything to her, and she persuaded her with kind words, but the softer this attitude became, the more indulgent she became.

In the end, Emperor Wen was provoked, and he directly dragged Xiao Huangmen out, confined him in the East Palace, and carried out the ceremony of canonizing Liangdi.

Thinking about it, as long as the new Liangdi has a bright brain, and takes this opportunity to brush up on the prince's good feelings, the princess may not be able to wait for the prince's heir to be born, so she has to stand aside.

In the following years, Li Hao served as the Taishou in two places for ten years, not only making the people rich in Wufu under his rule, but also quelling a rebellion in Shuzhong by the way, which can be regarded as a meritorious achievement, and was recalled to the capital by Emperor Wen to take up his post.

Of course, in addition to his own merits, there is also a large part of this opportunity because of Yuan Pei's Zhishi and Liang Wuji's retreat.

Yuan Pei had some hidden worries when he fought in the Quartet in his early years, but now he is a little powerless, so he wrote to make way for his juniors.

And Liang Wuji's body is not a big problem, but now Emperor Wen has gradually transferred power to Shangshutai in order to strengthen the centralization of power, and there is little power left in the hands of the three dukes, and it is almost a vain.

Therefore, he simply took the initiative to give way and transferred Li Hao back to the capital, so that he could get more benefits.

When Li Hao saw this Luoyang City again, he couldn't help but feel infinite in his heart, ten years later, he was back after all.

Then Li Hao first sent Qu Lengjun and them back to the house to settle down, and then handed the post into the palace to meet Emperor Wen.

This time, Emperor Wen didn't let Li Hao wait, and quickly summoned Li Hao in, and then Li Hao noticed for the first time that Emperor Wen was really old, and the sideburns on both sides had turned white.

And the prince standing on the side looked more and more calm, only Huo Budo really looked at the change little.

After looking around the situation for a week, Li Hao had already walked to the palace and bowed to Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen asked Li Hao to get up and said, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years since you left the capital.

Li Hao replied when he heard this: "This is all thanks to Your Majesty's love, Yizhou is the land of heaven, and Shu County is the center of Yizhou, and the minister has indeed not suffered any crime when he goes there to serve!"

Emperor Wen smiled: "That's true, but you have also lived up to my painstaking efforts, and you will not leave behind the things and people in Shu County and Guanghan County.

You must know that over the years, the annual report of Yizhou Thorn History has been full of praise for you, and he will call you the dry city of the country."

Li Hao replied, "This is too much praise from Lord Assassin Shi, and I just did my duty."

When the prince heard this, he also said, "Ziyang, you are too humble, if everyone can do their duty like you, the world will really be peaceful."

In the face of this repeated praise, Li Hao finally acquiesced, after all, it is enough to be moderately modest, and it is a bit false to be too modest.

After this wave of praise was over, Emperor Wen said to Li Hao again: "This time I summoned you to the capital, I plan to appoint you as the Great Si Nong, ranked in the Jiuqing, and help me grasp the financial taxes, can you do it?"

Li Hao immediately replied: "Your Majesty has an order, and the minister will naturally do his best to complete the important task entrusted by His Majesty."

"That's good, I'm still at ease when you do things." Emperor Wen was very happy when he heard this, and then ordered, "But you have just returned to the capital, and I will not let you take office immediately, so I will let you rest for a few days.

After the edict is issued, you go directly to the East Palace to find the prince, and then you will connect with the prince for specific matters."

When Li Hao heard this, he received his order, and then Emperor Wen said that he was tired, so he let Li Hao, the prince and Huo Budo go down together.

Leaving Emperor Wen's eyes, the crown prince obviously relaxed a lot, and said to Li Hao: "I asked you to go to the state and county to serve before, and I planned to call you back in two years, but my father said that you have just improved in Shu County, and it is not good to move without permission.

Just let Gu wait, who knows that this wait will take more than ten years, but judging from the results, it is worth waiting for Gu for more than ten years."

After speaking, he paused and gently patted Li Hao on the shoulder

, and then said, "In two days, remember to come to the East Palace first, and tell Gu about what has happened in the past ten years that you have been outside?"

Li Hao heard the words and replied, "Yes, when the family is settled, I will ask to see him in the East Palace."

The crown prince nodded and said, "Okay, then it's settled, I'll go back to the East Palace to deal with other things now."

Then he beckoned Huo Budo to go back together, but Huo Budo said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go first, and I will send Ziyang again, and I will go over when he is sent out of the palace."

The prince didn't say anything when he heard this, after all, Li Hao and Huo Budo already had some friendship, since Huo Budo wanted to send it, so he left first.

After the others walked away, Li Hao and Huo Budo continued to walk towards the palace gate, and Li Hao congratulated as they went: "I haven't congratulated Zicheng yet, I heard that your youngest son's New Year's wine has just been arranged, and I came back late, so I didn't have time to catch up, so I will visit your house in two days and make up for the congratulatory gift for you."

That's right, Huo Budo still didn't get through it after all, under the constant pressure of Emperor Wen and Huo Junhua's deathbed advice.

Huo Budo finally chose to marry a wife and have children, of course, it may be a little inaccurate to say that he is marrying a wife, because nominally he accepts a concubine, not a wife.

According to Huo Budo's statement, the main wife is reserved for the person who knows and loves him, and he is now just fulfilling the responsibility of inheriting the Huo family, and the concubine is enough.

Although Emperor Wen had some complaints about this, considering that Huo Budo finally let go, he didn't dare to object, lest there be another accident, so that he would not even accept the concubine.

Huo Budo may have thought of his son when he heard this, and a slight smile appeared on his face, and he replied, "It's okay, it's good to have this intention."

But soon, Huo Budo's smile retracted, and then said, "There is one thing I want to explain to you, the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said before that His Majesty did not let you return to the capital was proposed by me to His Majesty.

If you were to come back at that time, the balance around Your Highness would be upset again, so I spoke out for you."

Li Hao stopped, looked at Huo Budo on the side and said, "Zicheng is willing to tell the truth, but I already know about this, and I don't intend to blame you.

After all, staying in the county for all these years is also a kind of benefit for me, but Zicheng, you have been staying in the capital all these years, but I am afraid it may not be a good thing."

Huo Budo replied, "Yes, so now that you are back, then Yuan Shanjian and I should also go to the county for a walk."

Li Hao was a little surprised at first by this arrangement, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be reasonable.

Now that he is going to be promoted to one of the Nine Qings, it is inevitable that Yuan Shen will continue to stay in the capital to serve, and it is normal to go to the county to improve his qualifications.

It's just that Li Hao is puzzled, why did he go to Dongjun, you must know that it is the Qu family's family, and the relationship between the Yuan Qu family, who is not clear in the court.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the Qu family, but it is said that if there is a real problem with the Qu family, it is impossible for him to be completely unaware.

After thinking hard to no avail, Li Hao could only think about waiting for him to go back and ask Yuan Shen to see if he could know more.

As for Huo Budo, now that the East Palace has entered the Jinghua Heroes series, both sides have made heavy bets on the prince, so they naturally don't want to make any mistakes.

Therefore, before the crown prince ascends the throne, there will be no movement between the two sides, and it is also a good thing for Huo Budo to take advantage of this free time to go out for a walk.

After figuring it out, Li Hao asked, "Oh, I really don't know this news, I don't know how Your Majesty arranged it."

Huo Budo replied: "Yuan Shanjian will go to Dongjun to serve as the county guard, as for me...... He will serve as Henan Yin."

After Li Hao listened, he was a little speechless, Yuan Shen was nothing to serve in Dongjun, but is Henan Yin also a place?

You must know that Henan Yin Zhizhi is in Luoyang City, and it is really convenient to feel that you are a county where you work, and you don't even need to go out of Luoyang City.

Moreover, Henan Yin Guan's rank is 2,000 stones, and he is at the same level as the big Si Nong, which is much higher than the position of the local county guard, and in the past, he was transferred from the county guards with political achievements in various places, where would he directly appoint people with no local management experience, Emperor Wen was biased, and Li Hao was also speechless

Say.

But to be honest, it may be really appropriate for Huo Budo to do this, because Guo Jingcheng has always been the most unlucky, and the previous Henan Yin Na often carried the black pot.

But the problem is that it has changed to Huo Budo's head, who dares to break ground on his head, and I think it should be a lot quieter in Luoyang.

After a few more chats, the two walked to the gate of the palace, and the two said goodbye.

Back at Yuan's mansion, Li Hao saw Qu Lengjun, Wang Ji and Cheng Shaoshang frolicking in the courtyard with their children, while Yuan Shen was sitting alone in the pavilion and watching.

So he stepped forward to say hello to the children first, and then sat down directly beside Yuan Shen to speak.

"I just met Huo Budo in the palace, and he told me that you will be transferred to Dongjun as the county guard, do you know this?"

Yuan Shen shook his head slightly, and replied, "There were rumors about this matter before, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, after all, the Qu family is in Dong County, and I think that even if I am asked to serve in the state and county, it shouldn't be Dong County."

Li Hao heard this and said, "But since Huo Budo said so, it shouldn't be wrong to think about it, do you know what might be the reason for His Majesty's arrangement?"
