Chapter 258: Marriage
"The minister is here!" the three generals responded to the call.
The old man looked at the three of them, nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and said, "The three Aiqing are the most powerful generals of my Daqi today. I also hope that the three of them will not give up their hard work and lead their troops to Shuofang, Linjing, and Fengxiang to resist the enemy. β
"Obey the order!" all three of them bowed down and promised in a loud voice.
The old man didn't forget to take care of King Han's face at this time, and said: "King Han, although I have already issued a holy decree, I still ask you to make detailed arrangements for how to transfer troops and how to punish generals." After the court dispersed later, you and Li Huaiguang, Hun, Li Sheng and other three people went to the cabinet headquarters and the military department, distributed grain, grass and ordnance, and set out on a certain day. After choosing a date, I came to sue sΓΉ. I want to personally perform a magnificent performance for the three generals in the Taimiao. β
Xiao Yunhe stood up: "The minister obeys the order." β
Now the situation is becoming more and more obvious. King Han wanted to take advantage of the fact that the few people around him had not dispersed yet, and knocked down Lu Sheng and Huo Xianming in one go. Now that Li Huaiguang and the others are gone, the king of Han has chosen a big bargain to copy Lu Sheng's house, and maybe he will be even more popular than before.
The old man is not stupid, he is very aware of the situation in front of him, and he wants to get rid of Lu Sheng and Huo Xianming, this is the idea of King Han. So he also got off the donkey down the slope and let Lu Sheng and Huo Xianming be substitutes for the dead ghosts to appease King Han and Li Huaiguang and others. The reason why the King of Han was arranged to raid Lu Sheng was that he thought that this matter was too troublesome and that he was afraid that the prince would get into trouble, and secondly, he also wanted to take care of the love of the King of Han. After all, some of the cronies around King Han are now in charge of the military of Daqi, and they are about to hold the military power in their hands and shoulder the heavy responsibility of resisting foreign invaders. In case King Han is wronged in this matter, how can he clean it up if he makes an awkward scene?
The Han King's group defeated Zhu and Yao Lingyan!--The old man didn't dare to forget this. Zhu Du is so difficult to deal with, if he doesn't coax the king of Han well, in case he has a falling out, how can it be fun? Therefore, the old man had to use the usual means again, coaxing on both sides, and no one should be offended.
Xiao Yunhe didn't know the old man's thoughts, in addition to treating him with contempt as always, he also clearly felt a signal: The emperor has become more and more jealous of me!
Those courtiers in the court felt that the situation in the court was becoming clearer and clearer: Originally, the East Palace, the King of Han, Lu Sheng, and Huo Xianming were contending, but now there are two families in an instant, and only the East Palace and the Han Palace's Mansion are left! Moreover, the emperor is also very careful to level a bowl of water, and no one dares to be wronged.
After the dispersal of the dynasty that day, Xiao Yunhe, Li Sheng, Hun, Li Huaiguang and others gathered in the cabinet to discuss various matters related to the dispatch of troops. From grain and grass to military weapons, to military salaries and horses, all the matters of the three armies were dealt with one by one, and it was actually evening. As soon as I was ready, I picked an auspicious day of the zodiac three days later as the day of the expedition.
After the major affairs were dealt with, Xiao Yunhe invited all these people to his house, which was regarded as a trip for them. Li Huaiguang didn't forget what he said when he was in Gaoling, and specially brought his righteous son Shi Yanfen with him. Let him follow the king of Han from now on and serve the king of Han on his behalf, which can be regarded as repaying the grace of saving his life. Xiao Yunhe couldn't put it off, so he had to accept it.
Shi Yanfen is a typical Hu man from the Western Regions, with thick muscles and some courage, and it is rare that he also has a loyal heart. Xiao Yunhe's impression of him is not bad, and the Han Wangfu is now the time to employ people, and he is willing to accept him. In this way, his relationship with Li Huaiguang, a feudal official and a general in commanding the army, is even more iron.
A table of wine banquets was set up in the palace of the Han Dynasty, and several beautiful women from the music workshop were invited to present dance music. When the wine was half-drunk, the doorman came to report that the old lady Yan Shizhang and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and the left servant of the school shot Li Mian to visit. Xiao Yunhe hurriedly called to invite in.
Yan Shizhang is still as energetic as ever, and Li Mian on the side seems to be not bad. The two old men walked in with a smile, and said to Xiao Yunhe and the others: "The old man is waiting to come uninvited, disturbing you Yaxing!"
Li Sheng and the others naturally got up and returned the salute and greeted each other with smiling faces. Although Yan Shizhang and Li Mian are not in power now, they are both respected old men and are very respected on weekdays. Li Sheng and the others are also knowledgeable people, and they have almost eaten this farewell banquet, and the two old men have made an appointment to come together, so naturally they have something to discuss. So they all resigned, and Xiao Yunhe didn't deliberately stay together. They were sent home.
Xiao Yunhe asked the people in the house to clean up the banquet, and prepared tea and snacks to invite the two old men to sit down, and said to them one by one: "The two gentlemen came to visit at night, must they have taught the students?" Yan Shizhang once taught Xiao Yunhe calligraphy, and Li Mian was Xiao Yunhe's enlightenment teacher, so Xiao Yunhe called them all sir.
Yan Shizhang stroked his bright white beard and said to Li Mian with a smile: "Duke Xuanqing." Am I right? Now this Han King is not only Wen Taowu strategy, but also knowledgeable and generous. β
"Nice, nice. Li Mian was relatively thin, and his eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled. Looking at Xiao Yunhe with a smile and said, "Since the old man lost Bianzhou, he has been going deep into Jian Chu to be ashamed to see people. If it weren't for the old lady who invited me to come today, I still wouldn't be able to see the demeanor and bearing of King Han today. β
Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly: "The two gentlemen have won the award, and the students are ashamed." "Hmm......" Yan Shizhang hummed softly. Then he said, "Your Excellency got your wish and eradicated Lu Sheng and Huo Xianming for the imperial court, and Lao Yu and others came to congratulate him. I heard that the lord was ordered by the emperor to raid Lu Sheng and his henchmen. Do you know that adults have a plan in their hearts?" Li Mian also nodded lightly, echoing Yan Shizhang's words.
Xiao Yunhe thought to himself for a moment and said, "The student thinks that Lu Sheng has been operating in the Great Qi Dynasty for decades, and he has made a lot of enemies, and at the same time, there are also many henchmen. Investigating Lu Sheng is like uprooting a big tree, which is not easy. A little careless. It is possible that when the tree is pulled up, the soil will be damaged, and the plant will be connected to many people, and the foundation of Daqi will be damaged. β
"That's a good point. Yan Shizhang nodded and praised, "Lu Sheng has been in the court for decades, and Guo Ziyi, who was very prosperous back then, still has three points for him. It can be seen that the power of this person is located. Over the years, due to wars and foreign invaders and other reasons. Lu Sheng is a little weak, but there are also many dignitaries and even royal relatives who are close to him. If all the people related to Lu Sheng are to be investigated, the court does not know how many people are left. The adult's words are good, but if you don't say it much, it will hurt the foundation of Daqi. Therefore, we two old ministers want to mention a proposal to the adults. β
"Two gentlemen, please speak!" Xiao Yunhe was of course willing to listen to the opinions of these two old men. The two of them are almost one hundred and fifty years old together, and they are considered to be old ministers of the three dynasties, so they naturally know much more about the current situation in the court than he Xiao Yunhe.
Yan Shizhang smiled slightly and said: "The old and decrepit land is built to make small things, and small things are turned into small things, and you have to be forgiving and forgiving." Now that Lu Sheng is down, there is no reason why his henchmen should not want to make a living for themselves. Some of these people may be extremely heinous and cannot be let go. But it is not excluded that some people are forced to do some bad things or are forced to do some bad things. If the adults can be lenient with them, they will definitely make these people grateful and swear to die. Now is a good time for adults to gather people's hearts and build prestige, so we must be cautious and not reckless and domineering. β
Li Mian also said: "The old lady is right. Above the court, it is often like this. When someone gains power, many people will naturally join him or do what he is told. As soon as the wind changes, these people will immediately change their doors. Perhaps this kind of person does not have any commendable qualities, but it also represents a part of the human heart. Wealthy families are often intertwined and have a very close relationship with each other. Therefore, only by handling the matter of Lu Sheng cautiously will we not erect too many enemies and establish grace. β
Xiao Yunhe listened to what the two of them said, which was reasonable. Although jealousy is a rare virtue, sometimes it is more important to act according to specific facts. Yan Shizhang was right, if all the people related to Lu Sheng were dealt with, at the moment Daqi didn't know how many officials could be left, and they all had to be investigated and dealt with? Xiao Yunhe was such a well-behaved person, after hearing these words, he expected that Yan Shizhang and Li Mian, the two old ghosts, must have come prepared, so he asked with a smile: "Two gentlemen, there must be an important opportunity to teach students face-to-face today?"
Yan Shizhang laughed loudly and said to Li Mian: "Xuan Qinggong, I'm right! Lord Han is witty and smart, and he is no longer as good as before. Now, we're not going to hide it, are we?"
"Good, good. Li Mian also smiled and took out a paper manuscript and handed it to Xiao Yunhe's short table, saying, "This is a list that our two old decrepits got together with a few other retired old ministers to discuss. on this. There are almost all the names of important ministers, dignitaries, wealthy families and relatives of the emperor in today's Great Qi, as well as some grievances and grievances between them and Lu Sheng over the years. It's not that Lao Yu and others like to talk about people behind their backs, they just hope that these things can help King Han a little bit. β
Xiao Yunhe picked up the manuscript and flipped through it a few times, this manuscript like a history book actually recorded in detail many deeds of the dignitaries of the dynasty. For Xiao Yunhe, who is not familiar with the current situation, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow. Although these cannot be taken as any evidence. But with these materials for reference and guidance, if you want to investigate and deal with Lu Sheng's henchmen, it will be much smoother with half the effort.
"Good. Xiao Yunhe said sincerely, "The students thank the two gentlemen." β
Yan Shizhang smiled and said, "We old guys, we can't do anything. I only have a lot of things in my head, and I hope that I can use them to make a difference. My lord, the current Great Qi needs a young and capable person like you to support a party, and you have a long way to go! And please don't be polite, just ask. β
When Xiao Yunhe heard this, he felt a little happy in his heart. If you can have famous, knowledgeable, capable and old and respectful people like Yan Shizhang and Li Mian to assist you. So he took the opportunity to say: "The two gentlemen have passed the age of rank, but they still work tirelessly in the court, which makes the students extremely admired. The students were thinking that if the two gentlemen had time to be around the students to give them more advice, the students would definitely benefit a lot! If the two gentlemen did not dislike the simplicity of the students' house, they could have cleaned up two quiet rooms for the two gentlemen to live in the house, and they would always be familiar with the students. β
"Oh?" Yan Shizhang looked at Li Mian with some surprise. Then he smiled and said, "Duke Xuanqing, it seems that our two old bones have been valued by Lord Han. Say, are you willing to serve under the command of the King of Han?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Xiao Yunhe hurriedly said. "The students would never dare to let the two gentlemen deign to take up their posts...... It's just that if the two gentlemen have some free time. It is a good idea to stay at the house for a few days so that students can listen to the teachings at all times. The two gentlemen are the teachers of the students, so that the students can do some filial piety. β
Li Mian also smiled: "My lord is so fist-fighting, we two are old, where do we dare to act disobeying?" Anyway, both of us are already ranked, and now the official residence is idle and has nothing to do, and it is also a good dissipation to have time to come to the mansion of Lord Han to drink a few cups of tea." β
In this way, the student thanked the two gentlemen. Xiao Yunhe was happy in his heart and bowed to the two old men.
The people of Daqi pay the most attention to fame and identity. If Yan Shizhang and Li Mian also serve in the Han Palace, with their current influence, they will be tantamount to two big signboards, which will be of great help to Xiao Yunhe to attract people's hearts in the future. And both of them are long-lived and loyal and pure, just like two living classics placed in the Han Palace, the value of which cannot be simply measured.
"No courtesy, no courtesy!" Yan Shizhang said with a smile, "The old man is nearly eighty years old, and he is too old to use." Except for writing a few big characters on weekdays for self-entertainment, there is nothing to teach adults. However, now the old decay has one thing to remind adults. β
Xiao Yunhe hurriedly said, "Sir, please speak." β
Yan Shizhang stroked his long bright white beard, frowned lightly and said, "I heard that the King of Han had shirked a brown marriage not long ago, right?"
"Exactly. Xiao Yunhe thought for a while and said, "Duanwang Fu Wu Zhongru wants to marry a daughter to me." But at that time, the major events of the newly restored capital were undecided, and the bones of my concubines were not cold, so I resigned. β
Yan Shizhang nodded slightly and said, "It's reasonable for adults to do this. However, at the moment, the old man has taken the initiative to bring up the matter again. Lao Yu had some friendship with Wu Zhongru, and his daughter had also met a few times, and she was indeed a decent and graceful woman. That's not the point, it's important...... The relationship between the Wu family and the Guo family has always been very close. Wu Zhongru is Guo Ziyi's son-in-law, and the Guo family is the number one wealthy family in the national capital at present. Now that Lord Han has overthrown Lu Sheng in one fell swoop, it is tantamount to their great benefactor to the Guo family...... If you take advantage of the situation to marry the people of the Guo family, then ......" Yan Shizhang smiled slightly and stopped the words behind.
"Great benefactor?" Xiao Yunhe was a little puzzled by these three words.
"The old lady is right. Li Mian took over the topic and said, "Guo Ziyi's merits are high, but he does not shock the master, and the Guo family is extremely glorious." He has eight sons and seven sons-in-law, dozens of children and grandchildren, most of whom have entered the official career. Moreover, Guo Ziyi's protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, and even Li Huaiguang, Chu Yan and others, who are very close to adults, were once generals under Guo Ziyi. However, the people of the Guo family have always been relatively low-key and do not like publicity. But the influence of their family in the world is unparalleled. For example, even a rampant rebel like Zhu would not dare to risk the world's condemnation to mess with the people of the Guo family. However, Lu Sheng is a very jealous person, and over the years, he has been making things difficult for the Guo family by relying on his power, and has investigated and exiled several sons-in-law and descendants of the Guo family. Since then, Lu Sheng has become the Guo family's biggest enemy. β
"So that's ......" Xiao Yunhe suddenly realized, and his head was quickly calculating: The Guo family, the number one wealthy family in Daqi...... If I can get their support, I will no longer be a rootless wanderer! Now that I have overthrown Lu Sheng and wants to investigate and deal with his henchmen, it is a great opportunity to win the hearts of the people and build a reputation; now that I have Yan Shizhang and Li Mian, two famous figures in the dynasty, to help, if I have the support of the Guo family, a big tycoon...... Isn't it just around the corner that the Han Palace's Mansion is going to soar? !
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhe was also a little excited in his heart, and Zhengse said: "The two gentlemen gave just the right advice. Tomorrow, the students will visit the Guo family. I just don't know...... Who should I visit first?"
Yan Shizhang slowly stroked his long beard and said meaningfully: "Guo Ziyi's eldest son, Guo Yao, returned to heaven not long before Zhu's rebellion. Nowadays, the Guo family has the highest rank and the greatest reputation, first of all Zhao Guogong and Guo, followed by Guo Ziyi's sixth son, the concubine Guo Nuan. Old decay built yì, adults will visit Guo first. Because he followed his father Guo Ziyi to fight in the south and north when he was young, he made great achievements, and he was also a general who could fight habitually. It's just that I've been sick all these years and I'm at home. He should be more close to adults. And he has a son-in-law, who was also planted by Lu Sheng two years ago, and the family was relegated to Lingnan. If you come to visit, won't he greet him?"
Xiao Yunhe nodded and said, "Okay! Tomorrow, the students will go to visit Guo!"
Early the next morning, Xiao Yunhe was ready to visit Guo. The national capital city was too big, and he didn't know where Guo's mansion was, so he had to call the guide dog-like figure Ju Wenzhen.
Ju Wenzhen blinked her eyes a little stunned, and said, "My lord, when Guo's husband was seriously ill a few years ago, didn't you take the flying dragon to visit the Guo family with the holy order?
Xiao Yunhe pretended to be angry and glared at him: "What flying dragon ride, when have I been to Guo's house?"
Ju Wenzhen smiled hesitantly, thinking that the Han King's amnesia had flared up again, so he said: "In the first year of Jianzhong, my lord was ordered by the current saint to visit the seriously ill husband Guo. At that time, the emperor ordered the lord to select 300 good horses in the Flying Dragon Stable of the Forbidden Garden of the Imperial Palace, and let more than 300 armor soldiers of the palace ride and accompany the adults to the Guo family. As a result, the private soldiers of the palace have since had the nickname of flying dragon riders. Most of the descendants of the Guo family live in the Fenyang palace in the south of the city, and some are scattered in other places in the national capital. I don't know which one you want to go to?"
Xiao Yunhe was so bored that he really wanted to kick Ju Wenzhen's feet. said: "You guy, it's really not over when you go. Won't it be over if you tell me where Guo lives?!"
"Oh, yes, yes!" said Ju Wenzhen with a smile, "Guo now lives in Changmingfang, near Anhuamen, south of the national capital. In the Fenyang Palace, south of the city, Guo Nuan and others live. β
"Okay, I'll go to Changmingfang by myself. Xiao Yunhe said, "How are you doing lately? You can't afford to delay. β
Ju Wenzhen looked a little embarrassed and said, "My lord, it is not a big problem to return the grain money that has been collected, and the delivery of winter clothes and food to the people under the food town is also underway. It's just that there is too much manpower in the palace, so it hasn't been finished for a while. But...... Nowadays, the price of food in the national capital is soaring. The price of white rice has risen from 145 yuan to 60 or 70 yuan. The villain is afraid that the money in the house is really not enough to spend!"
"It's going up so much?" Xiao Yunhe frowned slightly and said, "Since you have already promised the people, you have to do it." You don't have to worry about money things. It is important to resolve these things in the shortest possible time. The weather is getting cooler. If there is no food and winter clothing, the people under the food will have a hard time. β
"Yes......" Ju Wenzhen bowed her hand and bowed.
Xiao Yunhe called Gao Gu and Shi Yanfen, and brought five or six armor soldiers. I prepared some good silk gifts and went out to see Guo. Song Liangchen stood at the door and watched the backs of Xiao Yunhe and the others disappear, and muttered angrily: "It's good now, there is a new follower by your side, don't let me go." Leave me in the house to write and draw circles every day, and don't suffocate people to death......"
The layout of the capital city is neatly planned like a chessboard. Each lane is divided by a wall, and there are wide streets adjacent to each other. In order not to conflict with the imperial spirit, the Li Fang is a gate that opens in the east and west directions. Xiao Yunhe and others waded across Suzaku Street and came to Changmingfang near Anhua Gate. After a little attention, I found the imposing Guo Mansion.
The Guo family was favored by the emperor and the grace was unlimited. In addition, Guo himself is also a great general, and his prefecture was given by the first emperor, which is extremely magnificent and luxurious. It is extremely eye-catching in Changmingfang.
The group had just arrived at the gate of Guo's house, and they hadn't had time to call someone in to report. Immediately, someone hurriedly greeted him, and bowed to Xiao Yunhe: "Welcome to the arrival of Lord Han!
"Okay, let's go. Xiao Yunhe motioned for this doorman to be exempt, thinking that this little guy of the Guo family was quite well-behaved.
Less than a moment after the doorman entered, he saw a large number of people hurriedly walking towards the door, greeting him by the door and saying in unison: "Welcome to the Lord of Han! Chitose, Chitose!"
Xiao Yunhe got off the horse and took a closer look at these people, the first old man with thick muscles and bones who was nearly sixty years old was probably Guo. Xiao Yunhe quickly stepped forward and walked up to him and said, "Old General Guo, hurry up and excuse me." Everybody, please get up!"
Although Guo is old, his body is still very strong, he stood up from the ground and glanced at Xiao Yunhe, stood aside and arched his hand and said: "The king of Han is coming, the old minister is surprised, please forgive me!"
Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly, looked at this energetic old man and said, "This king is just walking around at will, so don't worry too much about the old general." Here are some good lake silk, this king brought it over, and asked the old general to cut a few sets of winter clothes for the treasures at home, which can be regarded as a little bit of my heart. β
Guo glanced at the silk silks held by those armor soldiers, and said flatteredly: "How dare the old minister accept the gift of the King of Han, I am really frightened and frightened!"
Xiao Yunhe's casual homely opening remarks instantly shortened the distance between him and Guo a lot. He smiled and said, "You're welcome, old general." The Guo family is a high-ranking society, and as a member of the Li family, I should do my best. Old general, would you like to invite this king in for a cup of tea?"
"Oh?!" Guo suddenly said in a panic, "Your Excellency, please, please." Lao Chen...... It's really getting older and more confused, and I actually let adults stand at the door and talk. β
"Hehe!" Xiao Yunhe laughed, pulled Guo side by side, and entered the mansion together. The furnishings in Guo's house are also very magnificent, and it can be seen that they are from the hands of the royal family. The stone trees of the forest terrace building, the pavilion mountain, are exquisite and elegant. Xiao Yunhe was amazed as he walked all the way. Guo was cautious on the side. It can be seen that Guo has indeed inherited Guo Ziyi's modest and cautious character, and he is not proud at all.
The group walked to the front of the main hall of the lobby, but saw that there were two carts placed here, and several boxes were loaded on them. Without waiting for Xiao Yunhe to ask, Guo himself smiled and said, "I really don't hide it from my lord, old minister...... I'm also going to visit Lord Han today. I just didn't expect it. The adult actually took the initiative to come to the door, which really made the old minister ashamed and frightened!"
"Oh, hehe!" Xiao Yunhe immediately laughed when he heard this, "It seems that the old general and this king are thinking about the same thing?"
Guo suddenly looked happy. Bow your hand and bow down: "The old minister doesn't dare to bend the law for personal gain and embarrass the King of Han." But there are some things that the earth really wants to ask King Han to take care of!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Xiao Yunhe said with a smile, "This king came today because he has some things to discuss with the old general. He also thought happily in his heart: It seems that this Guo also just wants to beg me to do something. Probably just wanted to recall his son-in-law's family back to the capital...... Nice, hit it off!
Guo hurriedly invited Xiao Yunhe into the main hall and served tea, and waited for Xiao Yunhe to speak with anxiety and expectation. Xiao Yunhe did not beat around the bush. said directly: "Old general, this king has been ordered by the emperor and is thoroughly investigating Lu Sheng and his henchmen. The grievances between Lu Sheng and the Guo family have also been heard of by this king. This old thief has relied on his power to harm many Guo family people over the years. Now, this king is going to reveal all the unjust cases suffered by the Guo family and invite them back. Only in this way can Guo Lao Ling's old spirit in heaven be comforted. In order to make the people of the world rejoice!"
Guo was a little excited and bowed down: "Old minister...... Thank you King Han for your mercy!"
"No courtesy!" Xiao Yunhe said, "I know that the old general has a son-in-law who was demoted to Lingnan by his family a few years ago. This king is here today to investigate the circumstances of those events. Rehabilitate Zhaoxue for him. When the emperor and Yousi asked, the king also answered fluently. Also ask the old general will be a few years ago. Inform the king of all and let him register it. β
"Okay, good!" Guo Lian agreed, thought about it carefully, and told the details of his son-in-law's family's grievances one by one. In fact, about this unjust case, he Guo Lao had already told Yushitai, Dali Temple, and even directly in front of the emperor. But Lu Sheng was really powerful back then, and he was deeply trusted by the emperor, so he was never rehabilitated. Now it's different, Lu Sheng fell violently, King Han surfaced and took the initiative to ask, the excitement in his heart can be imagined. After all, Guo was born in a martial arts, and when he talked about indignation, he also hammered the table a few times, but Xiao Yunhe only listened with a smile on the side, and asked Gao Gu, who accompanied him, to record what Guo said in detail.
In fact, Xiao Yunhe did this, it was nothing more than a scene kung fu. is just to show Guo that he, King Han, is indeed very serious and enthusiastic in dealing with these things. In fact, if you want to invite Guo Di's sons-in-law back, it's just a matter of King Han's words.
After Guo finished speaking, Xiao Yunhe asked him to press his handprint in his confession, and then said: "The Guo family is up and down, and many people have been belittled by Lu Sheng. Today, the king simply asked all of them clearly, and rehabilitated Zhaoxue for them one by one. The old general did not hesitate to tell the king all about those things. β
"Really, that's great!" Guo was arrogant in nature, and laughed happily at this time, "If Lord Han doesn't dislike it, please rest in the house for one less day today." After a while, Lao Chen went to invite Guo Nuan, Guo Shu, Wu Zhongru and others, so that he could explain everything clearly. β
"Okay!" Xiao Yunhe said briskly, "This king is here today specifically to deal with the affairs of Guojiadi. Before Lu Sheng was raided, this matter had to be done first. β
"Okay, good!" Guo was so excited that he immediately ordered his family to go out and invite a few of the Guo family's old stays.
Guo Nuan, when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, married Princess Shengping, the daughter of Daizong, and in recent years, he has become one of the most famous concubines in Daqi. It's just that all of his fame is more likely to be because this colt was actually drunk and angry, and drunk Jin Zhi slapped Princess Shengping's big ear scraper. This matter was naturally mediated by the emperor and Guo Ziyi, and the little couple became more and more kind to the family since then, and Princess Shengping, who has always been proud, has gradually become tame and elegant, and Guo Nuan has become more and more favored by the emperor. Now, Guo Nuan has vaguely become the most influential figure in the Guo family.
Guo Shu is now the general of Zuo Jinwu, and when he was in Fengtian, he was also a general under the generalissimo Xiao Yunhe, the king of Han. It's just that Xiao Yunhe didn't have any face-to-face with him at that time. Needless to say, Wu Zhongru is no stranger to him. This Guo Ziyi's son-in-law, although he now lives in the third rank of the prince Fu, is now the richest man in the national capital, and his son is also appointed by the emperor as a five-rank official, and has a great influence among the scholars.
These people are the most influential people in the big family of the Guo family today. Guo said that he would invite them all to meet, and Xiao Yunhe was naturally happy.
Not long after, the sound of carriages and horses sounded at the door of Guo's house, and Guo Nuan and others arrived. What surprised Xiao Yunhe a little was that Guo was nearly sixty years old, while Guo Nuan was very young, about thirty, and Guo Shu was even younger, only in his twenties!
Xiao Yunhe had to sigh secretly in his heart: Guo Ziyi, he is really an extraordinary person! In this way, he was still giving birth when he was sixty or seventy years old......
Although Guo Nuan and Guo Shu are young, they are gentle and elegant, and their speech and gestures are decent; Wu Zhongru, a very obese middle-aged man that Xiao Yunhe has seen, laughs like Maitreya Buddha, harmless to humans and animals. All three of them had seen the salute and sat down together.
Xiao Yunhe explained his intention to these people, and immediately made them happy. After the transcript was completed, Guo arranged a sumptuous singing and dancing banquet, and all the people of the Guo family accompanied him to thank the King of Han for his kindness.
During the banquet, Xiao Yunhe paid attention to Wu Zhongru from time to time, and found that he always seemed to have something to say to himself, so he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart: If you want to marry your daughter, hurry up!
Wu Zhongru is such a delicate person, naturally he will not let go of the great opportunity in front of him to get close to Han Wangtao. During the banquet, he deliberately chose a position closer to the king of Han, frequently drank wine, and served diligently, but never mentioned his daughter's marriage, so as not to embarrass the king of Han in public. I have to say that this Wu Zhongru is really an old fox who is sleek and good at figuring out other people's thoughts. Although Xiao Yunhe doesn't have a very good impression of him, he can't say where he is dissatisfied with him at the moment, and he feels that this person is not bad, at least he can get along.
The business has almost been done, and several families in the Guo family who have been demoted by Lu Sheng, Xiao Yunhe has promised to rehabilitate them and return to China in the near future. Guo and the others were naturally grateful, and they couldn't wait to kneel in front of Xiao Yunhe and kowtow to him from time to time. Especially Guo, he was also a martial artist who led troops to fight, and he had heard about many great military exploits made by the Han King before, and he always wanted to get close. Now the King of Han not only took the initiative to visit, but even helped him a lot, and he couldn't help but prevent him from worshipping the King of Han as a god. At the banquet, Guo even summoned his precious son Guo Gang and asked him to add wine and food to King Han as an uncle and nephew. In fact, Guo Gang is also eighteen or nineteen years old, not a few years younger than Xiao Yunhe now. This move is enough to see how much Guo respects and respects the King of Han.
When the banquet was about to end, Guo said to Xiao Yunhe solemnly: "Lord Han, the old minister has a reluctant request, I don't know if King Han can listen to it?"
Xiao Yunhe was slightly surprised, and said, "The old general, please give advice." β
Guo glanced at Guo Gang beside him, and said to Xiao Yunhe: "This son of the old minister has attacked the Chongwu bloodline of the Guo family, and he always wants to go into battle to kill the enemy for the country. The young hero of the Han King is the idol and symbol in the dog's mind. The old minister is now bold and cheeky, and is willing to ask the Lord of Han to accept the dog into the Han King's mansion as a pawn, and listen to the teachings with a whip and pedal by the side of the King of Han in the morning and evening. First, it can allow him to learn real talents and real learning by the side of King Han, and secondly, it can be regarded as our Guo family asking him to repay the great kindness of King Han!"
"Ahh "Guo Gongzi is a famous man after Shixun, how can he be wronged to be a casual petty official in this palace?"
Although Guo Gang is only eighteen or nineteen years old, he has become sophisticated and serious under the influence of his father. At this time, he had already bowed to Xiao Yunhe, and said in a loud voice: "Please Lord Han must accept the little nephew!"
"Little nephew......" Xiao Yunhe looked at this white, tall and stout young man with a little crying and laughter, and said embarrassedly: "Old general." Ling Lang is about the same age as me, so he is called it...... I'm afraid it's always not good? When it comes to seniority, Princess Shengping is my imperial aunt and his aunt. Ling Lang should be the same generation as me......"
"As long as King Han is willing to accept the dog, none of this matters!" Guo is a martial artist after all. He said happily, "Gang'er, don't thank Lord Han soon!"
Xiao Yunhe was stunned: I don't seem to have agreed yet, right?
Guo Gang had already bowed to the ground for a long time: "Your Majesty, thank you Lord Han for taking you in!"
Xiao Yunhe had no choice but to laugh: "It's still a bit more accustomed to being called like this...... That's it, since it is the old general's fist victory, Guo Gongzi is so sincere. This king will invite you to the palace of the king of Han as a guest. However, the Han Wangfu is a small temple, in case you don't feel comfortable living in this big Buddha one day. You can leave whenever you want. β
Guo Huan said happily: "What are you talking about, my lord! Two virtuous brothers and brothers-in-law, you said that Gang'er will definitely have a great future in the future if he follows the King of Han, right?!"
Guo Nuan, Guo Shu and Wu Zhongru were naturally playing on the side: "That's nature, that's nature!"
Xiao Yunhe knew it very well in his heart. These things have been arranged by the people of Guojiadi a long time ago. He, Xiao Yunhe, wants to have a little relationship with the first gate valve of Daqi, and the people of the Guo family don't want to touch the light of the Han Palace? It just makes sense to hit it off.
Guo Gang also seemed to be happy, so he said to Xiao Yunhe, Guo and the others: "My lord, father, two uncles and uncles, and the juniors, let's go pack up and pack up." Go home with the King of Han!"
"Hehe, look at this kid anxiously. Guo Le said hehehe. "My lord, the old minister didn't lie to you, did he? The dog has admired the adult for a long time, and now that you have promised to accept him, he is overjoyed. β
Guo Gang smiled awkwardly, and after getting a few people's consent, he went to clean up and salute. Xiao Yunhe thought to himself, with Guo Gang by his side, the relationship with the Guo family was instantly closer. Guo Gang is a descendant of Guo's generation, and he is the eldest son of Guo, the first elder of the Guo family. When the people of the Guo family did this, they undoubtedly announced to the people of the world: My Guo family has climbed up with the Han Palace, and the relationship is still very close.
