Chapter 338: The Emperor's Grace is Mighty
After leaving the dart game, the group set out for the palace, this time without riding horses, and changing their armor to a lighter, gown-like armor. The four of them got into the lavishly decorated carriage and headed for the palace.
Along the way, everyone looked relaxed, Gao An, as the one with the widest heart, was basically talking about what would happen next, and Gao An, who was the family of the general, also said, "This is our Gao family, this time we may have to leave the picturesque Chaisang"
Shaoyuan looked puzzled, "Second Brother Gao, you said that the Gao family might move out of Chaisang?"
Gao An thought for a while, "You can say that, you can't say that, after all, Chaisang is actually my father's fiefdom, and our Gao family's ancestral graves have been moved, so it shouldn't move." Therefore, Chaisang still has our Gao family's mansion, but in addition to leaving some people to take care of the house and industry, our family should move to Luoyang. My father has now received the seal of the Great Sima, that is, a member of the imperial court, and he is in the position of the third duke, so we should also live in Luoyang."
Shao Yuan thought about it and understood, "Then Chaisang is gone, you are here, I'm afraid it's not as good as if I was angry."
Gao An waved his hand, "Where is it, everyone's life should be lived as it is, but there must be no Chai Sang in Luoyang, by the way, Shaoyuan, where will you live in the future, will you go back to Chai Sang?"
Shaoyuan nodded, "Come back, I don't have an official position, and I only have a three-friend residence in Chaisang, if I don't go back to Chaisang, where will I go back?"
Gao An patted Shaoyuan, "You are stupid, you are not only a protégé of the Son of Heaven, but also a hero of the Great War, as long as you want to, the emperor will definitely give you a high-ranking official, don't you understand this?"
Shaoyuan waved his hand, "No, second brother Gao, when I was in the Western Regions, the emperor asked me about governing the Western Regions, I really don't know anything, you let me be an official at this age, isn't this hurting others?
Gao An shrugged his shoulders, "You don't have to say this, eh, pet brother, don't sleep, don't sleep, it's almost there"
Shao Yuan looked at Gao Pet and found that Gao Pet did not respond, "Second Brother Gao, the situation is not right" Shao Yuan said and touched Gao Pet's head and found that Gao Pet was having a high fever.
Gao An immediately decided, "Brother Wu, go back to the dart game immediately, my favorite brother is in poor health"
Wu Xu, who was driving outside, didn't say anything, and immediately turned the carriage around and headed for the dart game.
In the palace, the time for the start of the banquet is gradually approaching, but none of the young people of the Gao family have arrived, and Gao Zheng, who has always paid attention to punctuality and punctuality, also frowned, and the emperor has already asked, "Senior brother, why didn't the sons and daughters arrive so late today?"
Gao Zheng arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will send someone to find them immediately."
The emperor pressed him "No need, they just arrived"
At this moment, Gao An said, "I'll go and talk to my father first, and you can sit down", and Gao An said goodbye to Wu Xu and Shaoyuan.
Shao Yuan looked around, you let him sit down, how did he know where it was, while turning his head and asking Wu Xu, "Brother Wu, where do you say our position will be?", suddenly a pair of hands blocked Shao Yuan's sight, "Guess who I am?"
"With such pink hands, this place can be unscrupulous, Your Highness the Princess, right?" said Shao Yuan. Then the hand was released, and Shao Yuan looked back, and it turned out to be the prince holding the princess.
The prince and princess greeted each other and said, "Senior brother, long time no see, welcome to your triumphant return"
Shaoyuan returned the salute, "Where, prince, you have grown taller again, and the princess has become beautiful"
The prince said: "Senior brother, you will sit next to me tonight, you should tell me tonight what you saw and heard when you went to the Western Regions to fight against the Huns this time!
The princess looked left and right, "That, that, senior brother, where did the little fourth brother go?"
Shaoyuan shook his head helplessly, "Ah Pet is suddenly ill, and as soon as he returned to Luoyang, he had a high fever, and now he should be in the dart game."
The prince said, "It's okay, it's okay, the little fourth brother's martial arts are so high, a small fever, just get some sleep, the banquet is about to start, if you don't sit down, you will be punished by the queen mother!"
On the other side, Gao An said to Gao Zheng, "Father, on the way here, my favorite brother suddenly fell ill and was hot all over, so we were delayed on the way back to send our favorite brother, and now my mother is taking care of my favorite brother."
Gao Zheng and the emperor were shocked at the same time, "Sudden illness?", the emperor immediately said, "Send someone to pass the imperial doctor immediately, and immediately go to the Dingyuan Dart Bureau to see a doctor for the nephew"
Gao Zheng bowed his hand and saluted, "Thank you to the emperor"
The emperor shook his head helplessly, "Alas, this disease came in a hurry"
Gao Zheng reluctantly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the banquet should start as usual, although the dog is a sudden illness, but the dog has always been in good health, it should be caused by too much fatigue, today is a big day, there is no need to spoil the interest because of the dog's trivial matter." ”
The banquet still started normally, the old rules, first the emperor praised how brave the soldiers before the battle, especially named the very outstanding ones in this battle, Shaoyuan, Gao Chong, Gao An, Wu Xu and others. And among them, the most eye-catching ones are naturally Shaoyuan and Gao Chong who survived in Shule City, since Gao Chong is not there, then the focus of the whole banquet is naturally focused on Shaoyuan.
As a hero, glorious deeds always have to be told for everyone to hear, so everyone quietly listened to Shaoyuan's description of the most critical Shule defensive battle, and the Shule defensive battle, the most magical, is the high pet sacrifice to the sky, the matter of digging a well in the middle of the mountain, but unfortunately Gao Zhong is not there, everyone does not know what else is there. Next, is Shaoyuan's greatest credit, the deeds of capturing Kemoore.
For the first time, everyone had a relatively intuitive understanding of Shaoyuan's martial arts, and this understanding was nothing else, but it was high enough. The princes and ministers who are good at observing words and emotions can see the color of praise from the emperor's eyes, and Shaoyuan is the emperor's student, or the first apprentice, and he will not fly in the future? Looking at Shaoyuan's age, I am afraid that he has not yet married, so many princes and ministers are ready to move.
"Your Majesty, dare to ask if General Lu is married?" Sikong, as a very proud minister recently, set an example and said.
The emperor laughed, "I haven't heard Shaoyuan say it like this, why, Aiqing has taken a fancy to me, this student?"
Sikong said, "The minister is frightened, and it is a pity that there is no daughter under the minister's knees, but the young woman Dong has a daughter under her knees, and she has become an adult last year, and it is a good year for the Double Eight"
The emperor didn't speak, just looked at Shaoyuan, who knew that Shaoyuan arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the student has something to say"
The emperor nodded, "Quasi-playing"
Shaoyuan said, "The student has a wife who has not passed through the door, and when Shule was besieged that day, General Zeng Tuowu told him that there was no need to wait for the student, but he was determined not to change, just waiting for the day when the student returned. Such a wife in distress, please forgive the students for their old swords."
When the emperor heard Shaoyuan say this, he showed a look of satisfaction, "So Aiqing, I can't force it, Shaoyuan, you said that you haven't passed the door yet, so how about I give you a marriage for this marriage?"
Shaoyuan was overjoyed "Thank Your Majesty"
The emperor straightened his voice, "Feng Lu Shaoyuan is the Guanglu squire, gives the lord the marquis, and eats five hundred households." Give the Lu family the gift of the lady of the Liupin'an people, the deacon doctor, and admire this!"
The people in the audience were all shocked, the official position is nothing, but the knighthood is the inheritance of the marquis, the inheritance of the mantle, this is not a proper future auxiliary minister? At the same time, giving his wife such a high title is obviously to remind those who covet Shaoyuan's pillow, and his wife is regarded as a member of the court, so that everyone should pay more attention. Having said that, the ministers still feel that Shaoyuan is worth investing in and entrusting their daughter, after all, he has become famous at such a young age, but he is not willing to give up his wife, which is very rare.
Shaoyuan didn't know what it was, but he knew that he shouldn't have to worry about eating, so he thanked him and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!"
