Come on, Your Highness

Chapter 151

At today's banquet, everyone once again experienced the emperor's infinite love for the eldest prince, that is really tolerant.

Moreover, because of Xiao Hong's willfulness, Emperor Tiangan deliberately appeased He Xichao. Although he did not grant a marriage, the reward was unexpectedly rich, far more than previous champions. Obviously he did not want He Xichao to have any influence on Xiao Hong's loyalty .

He Xichao's talent and ability are obvious to all. He was born in Sanyuan Jidi. As long as he makes some achievements, he will surely rise to the top and become an official in the cabinet.

Such a young and talented courtier, he must cultivate well and leave it to the new emperor in the future.

But it was because He Xichao was so obviously branded by the British Palace, if he became an important minister in the court, the new emperor would undoubtedly be the King of England.

Although Emperor Tiangan did not canonize the crown prince, this tendency has already explained everything.

Wei Guogong drank a lot of wine today, his area is all honored families, originally everyone did not use their real talents to learn, and relied on their ancestors to hide their shadows, but luckily, the He family broke away from the army first.

Moreover, He Xichao has a vicious eye and is No. 1 in front of the King of England. With such a grandson, who wouldn't envy Wei Guogong?

"You didn't drive their mother and son out back then. You really made the right move." I don't know who made such a head, which aroused many echoes.

"It seems that the old man also has to find out if there is any grandson living abroad, and bring them back quickly." Someone joked.

Hearing this, Wei Guogong couldn't help but sneered, "This is the only one in the world that belongs to my He family. Even if you find seven or eight, you won't be able to compare. If you divide the family property, there will be no peace."

"That's the truth." Liang Guogong really admired He Xichao, and now he felt a little guilty because of the failure of the marriage, and chimed in, "Instead of being sour and envious, why don't you go back and teach your children and grandchildren, maybe you can cultivate them. Yes. For Lao He, is this dignified number one scholar going to have a banquet?"

Wei Guogong said: "Of course we have to do it, and it's going to be a big one. When the time comes, I'll post to you all and come to have a drink."

"Then we'll just wait." Liang Guogong held up the wine and touched him, "It's really interesting to say that our He Zhuangyuan, after that failed, he still pointed out my brat as usual, and TOEFL is now a You are a scholar, and you don’t expect to go to the Golden Luan Hall in the future, but it’s cheap to raise someone’s fame and become an official.”

As soon as Liang Guogong said this, he immediately attracted dissatisfaction, "Well, you old Song, you belong to your chicken thief. When did this happen, I have never heard of you."

Liang Guogong chuckled, "As a human being, you have to be quick-sighted and quick-handed. On the day when He Xi was released from the court, I took him to soak up his talents. After going back and forth, he is familiar. Not to mention, his ability is really powerful. Listen The boy in my family said that he spoke very clearly, much better than the master in the academy."

Wei Guogong couldn't help laughing when he heard Liang Guogong pull the banner for He Xichao.

"Then Lao He, it's a deal. I have to bring a few monkeys from my family that day, and talk to your Xi Chao, and teach them too?"

"There is also my family, don't expect to win the exam, it is enough to be a scholar!"

"Your requirements are too high. I didn't think about fame, being able to get into the book, breaking up peacefully and causing trouble all the time!"

"Come, come, Lao He, let's drink and drink, let me offer you a toast."

"Yes, yes, you have taught us well, and we have to learn from them. Let's talk about it. How about this grandson? I'm so jealous of us..."

……

Liang Guogong just looked at Wei Guogong, you have a tall hat, and I put on a tall hat. After a few glasses of wine, my face was flushed, and I couldn't help shaking my head and laughing.

He glanced at the table casually, and saw the newly released Minister of the Household Department looking over here.

Li's family is He Xichao's natal family, so they should be honored with You, but unfortunately, they don't have much contact with each other.

As soon as the Qionglin banquet was over, Xiao Hong, who was biding farewell to He Xichao, was taken away by Emperor Tiangan.

He Xichao looked at Xiao Hong who was dejected and followed Yu Chuan away, couldn't help smiling, and walked out of Xiyuan while talking with the same subject beside him.

But he didn't see Wei Guogong at the door, so he was a little puzzled.

He waited for a while, and when he was about to go in to find someone, he saw the figure of Wei Guogong coming out, followed by Li Shangshu.

He Xichao frowned slightly, not sure if the two were just right in front of each other, or if they came out together after they had finished speaking.

After Li Shangshu and Wei Guogong bid farewell at the door, Wei Guogong walked towards He Xichao, his footsteps were a little unsteady, He Xichao couldn't help but took a few steps forward to support him, and couldn't help saying: "Grandfather, don't drink too much when you're happy. , do you know it hurts?"

"The old man knows it well."

"Yes, yes, you are abducted when you walk, do you know how to get back home?"

He Xichao supported him to stand firm while counting, looked up and inadvertently saw Li Shangshu still standing where he was, looking at them.

The lights were dim, and He Xizhao couldn't see the man's expression clearly, but he didn't care, he just wanted to take the old kid beside him back to the carriage.

He helped Duke Wei to the side of the carriage, and He Xiang immediately ran over and sent Duke Wei to the carriage.

After getting into the car, He Xichao could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing him, Wei Guogong, who was leaning on the cushion, waved cheerfully and said, "Xi Chao, come here."

He Xichao then sat down, and saw Wei Guogong held his hand, patted him lightly and said, "Grandfather is so happy today, he has a lot of face! Listening to the sour words of these old children, I can see them at a glance. It's jealousy! It's too happy, you know what to feel proud of?"

"I see, I'm giving you a toast, are you here to learn from the scriptures?"

"My grandson is smart." Wei Guogong rarely praised him, but then sighed, "But it's a pity, it's all about you, and your grandfather didn't help you."

The sun is out this night!He Xichao was surprised to find that the old man was very honest today, and he spoke good things.

He Xichao accepted all the orders, "It's good that you know, let's make a big deal."

"Do it!" Wei Guogong slapped his thigh and said vigorously, "This old man is the number one in the whole capital, and I have to invite them here. Now our He family is different..." Wei Guogong laughed loudly as he spoke.

This laughter was full of wanton carefreeness, just like what he said he was elated, as if he had released all his grievances, He Xichao had never heard it in the nine years since he entered the mansion.

The He family relied on nepotism to get to the top position. It was not long before He Xichao came to Beijing to see that Wei Guogong can still hold the position of Minister of the Ministry of War today. The head of the state retained his dignity.

If the entire Duke's Mansion has no up-and-coming children, it will be a matter of time before it declines.

Although no one was talking about it, Wei Guogong knew it well, he was ready to cast a shadow over He Mingrui, and walked along the old road of the lord's house.

But when He Xichao was the number one scholar in high school, he was still too excited to contain himself, which meant that from now on, the He family could take another path.

He Xichao actually wanted to ask what Li Shangshu said to Wei Guogong, but the latter was old, drank too much wine, said a few words, fell asleep in the shaking carriage, closed his eyes to rest.

He Xichao thought about it, but gave up.

On the second day, a family banquet was held.

Wei Guogong told the eldest lady: "This is a major matter for the He family, and it needs to be handled carefully. Just say what you need, and don't need to worry about the money. It must be done well for the old man."

The eldest lady just waited for his words, regardless of the gloomy faces of the old lady and the second room, she responded loudly, "Don't worry, father, my daughter-in-law will definitely handle this matter properly, and will never let you down."

After the family banquet, He Xichao went to Sansong Hall.

Wei Guogong seemed to have known that he would come a long time ago, before he sat down, he said: "Yesterday your grandfather gave me a message and asked me something about you."

"Mine?" He Xichao thought for a while, "Could it be a marriage?"

Wei Guogong smiled, "That's right."

He Xichao also laughed, but the joke didn't reach his eyes, "I really can bend and stretch, even if I hate it in my heart, as long as I can keep my glory, wealth and eldest grandson, I can send my granddaughter over to show my kindness."

Wei Guogong was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Xi Chao, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing. To a certain extent, it doesn't matter whether it's my grandfather or my maternal grandfather. Interest comes first." He Xichao said flatly, but there was deep sarcasm in his eyes.

This is the mention of He Lingshan, Wei Guogong coughed, and said: "Why do you bring up the past? It's the meaning hidden in your words, but the old man doesn't understand. Although the Li family treats you slightly, but Now that your grandfather is the Minister of the Household Department, he holds the real power, so it is not a bad thing to marry your cousin to increase your relatives."

"Marry?" He Xichao laughed, looked at Wei Guogong with deep eyes and said, "Believe it or not, if I want to take her as a concubine, my grandfather will probably think twice."

Wei Guogong was surprised when he heard this.

However, before he could figure out the meaning, he heard He Xichao chuckle, "You're just kidding, even if Li Shangshu is willing, he can't leave this person behind."

"Xi Chao, do you have trouble with the Li family?"

"Yes, I have."

"what's up?"

"Tsk... That's too much." He Xichao rested his chin on his memory, but after much deliberation, he could only say, "It's all small tricks, and occasionally they make a big one. I seem to know it, so it seems I didn't suffer, but I just felt uncomfortable..."

He turned his head to look at Wei Guogong and said, "You know, grandson can fit into a big boat when he's easygoing, and I can remember stepping on me when he's narrow, not to mention..." Murder?

He spread his hands, "So reconciliation is impossible, but grandfather, don't you think this marriage is better?"

"Of course not." He categorically vetoed it. For the Li family, Wei Guogong became less and less fond of it. The Li family raised two good daughters, which was enough for him to bear.

If he marries Li's daughter again, Duke Wei will be stunned to death.

"If you want to come up with the right idea, if the old man rejects it for you, if you mean that, don't you have to blame me?"

If it was He Mingrui, Wei Guogong naturally didn't need to consider his feelings, but if it was He Xichao, this grandson would not let anyone be his master.

He Xichao liked to hear these words, so he smiled and said: "Thank you grandfather, but I really don't like this marriage."

He has no problem with this cousin, but that grandfather, he really hates all the men in the Li family, all the people who know and participate.

If you really want to keep Li Zuhui and the Li family, then you should bring someone over to apologize, ask for forgiveness, and make compensation in a dignified manner, so that He Xichao can look at them highly.

But what is this look like?

He didn't dare to undertake what the man did, so far he didn't even bring a word of apology. Instead, he pushed the weak woman out of the family and asked for a marriage to resolve the grievances.

If he agrees, will his cousin still have a good life in the future?After being bullied to death by him, there is no one to support him. According to the way of life in this era, it is estimated that someone from the Li family will have to come to persuade her to follow her husband, beating and scolding, be patient, patient, and patient.

Such a family, if one day Xiao Hong loses power, the first one to separate from him is the wife's family, right?

It is a joke under the influence of what is more intimate and more reliable.

He Xichao's virtuous attitude obviously made Wei Guogong more happy, he couldn't help but said: "Then what kind of marriage do you like, girl of the Song family, do you want me to help you fight for it?"

"Oh, grandfather, it's terrible, are you planning for your grandson?" He Xichao looked at him narrowly.

"The old man has always planned for you, you just don't appreciate it." Wei Guogong said firmly.

After the long conversation that night, the gap between the grandparents and the grandson was obviously much smaller, and they got closer, and He Xichao didn't intend to settle the old score.

"Okay, what my grandfather said is just kindness. Don't worry about the marriage. His Royal Highness just refuted the emperor's kindness yesterday. Just wait a few more years. There are so many things recently that I don't have time to pay attention to these private matters." .”

Now that He Xichao is an official official, the emperor ordered the compilation of the Hanlin Academy, and the starting point is higher than ordinary people.

But how to go about this official career, there are two roads ahead.

However, Wei Guogong felt that He Xichao would not go on in the Hanlin Academy in such a step-by-step manner. Although it was expensive there, before it entered the cabinet center, it was Qingshui Yamen with no power.

But if he leaves the Imperial Academy and enters the Sixth Division, Wei Guogong feels that as a grandfather, he can help to give advice. After all, he is more familiar with the Sixth Division in the court, as the Minister of the Ministry of War.

However, He Xichao shook his head and said: "Naturally, it is the Imperial Academy. If you stay in the museum a few times, the official position will gradually increase. How fast the promotion is."

Wei Guogong was puzzled, "There are all scholars there, you are the one who controls power, can you stay?"

"I can't stay here." He Xichao replied honestly, "But the Imperial Academy is free, and I can do other things in my spare time, and take care of the Yingwang Palace. Now His Highness doesn't need me to enter the court to control one side. Besides, if I want to achieve It doesn't matter what purpose, whether there is an office or not, and where it is, does it?"

In terms of power, Xiao Hong's presence is enough.

He Xichao's purpose is very clear, which is to ensure that Xiao Hong will not fall down until the moment when the situation changes.

Xiao Hong is already eye-catching enough now, and he doesn't need to add more weight to provoke the emperor's eyes.

Besides, as long as Xiao Hong successfully succeeds to the throne, can he lose his position as the chief assistant of the cabinet?
