The Hall of Mental Cultivation was silent for a moment.
The emperor had a splitting headache, and while secretly annoyed that Lou Yu would make trouble, he couldn't help turning his anger on Xie's family.
Knowing that Lou Yu is coming to Beijing, can't he put on a show!Don't mess with him at this juncture!
He rubbed his brows and asked, "What do you mean by taking Ah Quan out of the Hou Mansion?"
There were tears in Lou Yu's eyes: "Your Majesty, I really don't want to see my sister continue to be tortured by the Xie family!"
He was actually somewhat sure of it.
At the beginning, the emperor acted as a matchmaker for King Qing and Hou Xie, in order to use Lou Quan to restrain King Qing. Maybe King Qing might not care about the life and death of married women, but talking is better than nothing.
Right now it is imperative to take back the military power of the feudal lords, Lou Quan is useless to restrain him, it is better to show benevolence and sell King Qing alone, and express to the other feudal lords that he will still treat Lou's blood kindly.
As expected, the emperor pondered for a moment, then let go and said: "In that case, you and Ah Quan will move out of the Hou's Mansion for the time being, and live back in the hotel."
Lou Yu was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, sister and Xie Ce..."
"We'll discuss this matter again."
It is impossible for the emperor to slap himself in the face immediately.
Lou Yu was satisfied, thanked her and dragged Lou Quan out of the palace.
Feng Erbi immediately greeted him with a worried expression on his face.
"Your Highness, princess, what's the matter?"
Lou Yu's eyes were still red, but there was a smile on his face: "Er Bi, go to the Hou's Mansion to pack up your belongings, let's go live in the hotel!"
"The princess?"
"Of course my sister will be with me!"
Feng Erbi was so happy that he didn't want to stay in the Hou Mansion for a long time.
The three came to the carriage.
Huo Yan sat in the front room of the carriage, bowed his head and said nothing.
After Lou's siblings entered the compartment, they silently waved their whips to drive the horses.
Sitting beside him, Feng Erbi always felt cold.
When they arrived at Hou Mansion, Mrs. Hou led someone to greet her, and was about to ask, Lou Yu pretended that she didn't exist, and took Lou Quan to pack her luggage.
Lou Yu didn't have much belongings, so he sorted them out soon.
After all, Lou Quan is a woman, clothes, jewelry, daily necessities, odds and ends are especially complicated, and there is no end to packing.
"Sister, I don't want these old things anymore. Let's buy better ones after we go out."
Lou Yu had a "dominant president" face, as if he wanted to spend a lot of money for his sister.
Lou Quan smiled and pinched his face: "It's better to keep a low profile first."
"Sister is right!"
Lou Yu felt that it made sense, so he rolled up his sleeves to help clean up together, feeling quite relieved.
Although the elder sister is not a modern elder sister and her fate is completely different, her essence remains the same.
Both are equally strong and intelligent.
Seeing this, Mrs. Hou turned pale and asked, "Ah Quan, what are you doing?"
Lou Quan turned his back to her, without lifting an eyelid.
"Mrs. Xie, I'm going to stay with brother in the hotel for a few days. I can't serve you in front of you anymore. Madam please take care of me in the future."
Madam Hou exclaimed, "What do you mean?!"
Lou Yu turned to look at her, with a gloomy expression: "Literally. I have expressed what Xie Mao said to His Majesty, and His Majesty also agreed that sister should move out of the Hou's residence. Do you have any objections?"
His domineering and domineering image after entering Beijing was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, his complexion darkened at first, but he showed a bit of intimidating power.
Madam Hou was startled, and couldn't help taking a step back, unable to say anything.
But how can such a stubborn person be so scary!
The two wanted to leave, but Mrs. Hou couldn't stop them, so she had to watch the four of them leave the Hou's mansion.
Lou Yu had just stepped out of the gate of the Marquis Mansion when four beautiful young men came after him.
"Your Highness, take the servant with you."
Yuanwei looked at Lou Yu with watery eyes, as if he would cry if Lou Yu refused.
The other three all showed pleading eyes, making Lou Yu look like a heartless man.
Lou Yu sighed softly, and said earnestly: "The hotel can't let you in, you don't have to follow me anymore."
Anyway, it's all eyeliner, so go back and return to life soon.
After saying that, Li Luo got into the carriage.
The four of Iris looked at each other, watched the carriage drive away, and then restrained their expressions.
Madam Hou naturally would not let them enter the mansion again, and ordered people to close the gate of the Hou mansion.
The four of them headed towards the imperial city.
Not long after Lou Yu left the palace, the emperor received the news.
"Xie Mao really wants to kill Lou Yu?"
The main channel: "It's absolutely true. If the jade pillow really hits Shizi's head, Shizi will not die but will also be disabled."
The emperor frowned: "This Xie Erlang is so rampant. He blocked the way and humiliated him, and he killed people impulsively. He really lacks education."
Although he has no feelings for Lou Yu, they share the same root after all.
Xie's family is no more than foreign ministers, so insulting Lou's clan members, wouldn't it make him, the emperor, lose face?
The general manager comforted: "Your Majesty, calm down, the body of the dragon is important. The son and Xie Erlang are both young and vigorous, and conflicts are inevitable."
"Isn't it all picked by Xie Erlang? Didn't he still want to use the damaged kaleidoscope to blackmail Lou Yu?" The emperor said angrily, "I think Xie's family is really big-hearted!"
Having been in a high position for a long time, it is inevitable to be suspicious.
"Your Majesty, right now the princess and Xie Dalang's husband and wife are dead, I think the princess wants to make peace with him."
The emperor said: "That's their business, I don't care."
In the feudal king's residence, the four of Lou Yu walked in with big bags and small bags, which surprised all the feudal kings and princes.
Don't you live in Houfu?How did you move back?
Someone couldn't understand Lou Yu's cowardly behavior at the birthday banquet, and sneered, "He must have been kicked out by the Hou Mansion!"
"The Hou Mansion is shameless? It should not do such a thing."
"Yes, but why did I see Lou Quan also come?"
"Send Lou Yu over here."
"No, she stayed!"
"No way? The Hou Mansion really drove their siblings out?!"
The emperor intends to seize the military power of the vassal king, and put the vassal king and his son under house arrest in the residence. They have been at a loss for the past few days, causing the residence to be silent for several days.
Today is finally lively again.
People like to watch the excitement.
Feng Erbi is indeed a good propagandist, as long as someone asks insincerely, he will look like weeping, telling the tragic experience of the princess in the Hou Mansion these years, and reprimanding Xie Mao for his cruelty to the son.
Everyone was astonished.
Ning Enhou's Mansion is too much!
After all, Lou Quan is the emperor's niece, she is the daughter of the Lou family's clan, but she was tortured into this by the Hou Fu forcibly!
Then Xie Erlang is even more weird, not only humiliating the prince in the street, but also killing the prince, it is lawless!
This is their vassal status, so humble!
They are already so humble, but His Majesty is still worried about them.
Too bad, too bad.
A group of people waited for grief, and the resort was gloomy.
For some reason, these things quickly spread in the streets and alleys of the capital.
"The Hou Mansion kicked out the princess?"
"It wasn't driven out, but the Princess couldn't stand it, so she moved out by herself."
"I've said before that Xie Dalang spoils his concubine and kills his wife. He is not a good man. Mrs. Hou has a mean face, and she looks like a torturer!"
"What is this? Then Xie Erlang still wants to kill King Qing's son! This is why the son has to leave the Hou Mansion, otherwise he will not know when he will be killed."
"Hey! This is amazing! I used to think that Xie Erlang was arrogant and rude, but I didn't expect him to even kill the eldest son!"
"Who says it's not! The Princess and the Crown Prince are still the nephews of the Holy Majesty. Tell me, where does the Xie family have the guts to treat the royal family harshly?"
"Since you can't live on, why don't you make peace?"
"This is the red line drawn by the emperor, who dares to reconcile? We can only spend it!"
"..."
Gossip is flying all over the sky in the capital, and the common people are elated and spit flying.
Tea houses, restaurants, streets and alleys, people are talking about it.
Ever since Lou Yu entered Beijing, the conversation around him in the capital has never stopped.
Fan Yusheng sat on the teahouse, drinking tea and listening to gossip.
"Brother Fan, let me listen, why do you think Lou Yu and the others are really pitiful?" The young man in green frowned and said sympathetically.
Fan Yusheng smiled: "I think it's really interesting."
The young man in green was surprised, is Brother Fan so unsympathetic?
"Do you know, under what circumstances can this marriage be resolved?" Fan Yusheng asked.
The young man in green shook his head: "This is a matchmaker made by His Majesty. Unless His Majesty withdraws his order, how can we leave?"
His Majesty opened his mouth, but how could he open his mouth?
Fan Yusheng lowered his head and chuckled.
"What if Your Majesty can take back orders and show benevolence?"
The boy in green was surprised: "How is it possible!"
"Let's wait and see."
Fan Yusheng didn't say much anymore, he took a cup of tea and sipped it carefully, seemingly elegant and indifferent, only he himself knew that he was excited.
Since Prince Qing's son entered Beijing, this feeling of excitement has become stronger day by day.
The emperor was playing chess, and Prince Qing's son was also playing chess. Now the climax was approaching, how could he not be excited as a chess spectator.
In his opinion, the biggest winner in this game may not be the emperor, but Lou Yu.
Wonderful, really wonderful.
He was very curious about how Lou Yu would respond after the emperor made the ultimate move of taking back the military power.
In the hotel, Lou Yu was writing at his desk when he suddenly sneezed.
Feng Erbi went out to do publicity, and only Huo Yan was guarding outside the house.
Hearing the sound of sneezing, his ears moved slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he reached out and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Lou Yu rubbed the tip of his nose, making a loud sound.
Huo Yan stepped into the house against the light, took out a thin blanket from under the cage without saying a word, and handed it to Lou Yu.
After Lou Yu took it, he quickly stopped.
Lou Yu pinched his sleeve, tilted his head and looked over, somewhat teasing and somewhat helpless: "Are you willing to talk to me?"
"No." Huo Yan said bluntly.
Lou Yu smiled and asked, "Nothing?"
Huo Yan lowered his eyes, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes, and said: "It's cold, put it on."
——I didn't ignore you.
"Thank you."
Lou Yu obediently put on a thin blanket.
"I did not hide on purpose that day."
Huo Yan didn't show any expression: "Yes."
"Aren't you angry anymore?"
Lou Yu vaguely remembered that day that Huo Yan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He knew that Huo Yan was worried about his safety, so he felt a little bit relieved, but also a little guilty.
Although Huo Yan is more taciturn than before these few days, he is much more considerate in his actions.
Lou Yu wanted to communicate with him several times, but was overwhelmed by his aura, so some words were blunt and meaningless, and he didn't dare to say more.
After finally seizing this opportunity, he had to explain clearly.
"I'm not angry." Huo Yan said seriously, "How you act is up to you, no need for others to comment."
Lou Yu: "..."
You have said all these words, and you are still not angry?
He simply positively admitted his mistake: "I did have the thought of being hurt at the time, so that I could leave ironclad evidence that Xie Mao hurt me, and it would be more justifiable to go to the emperor and cry."
"I see."
Of course Huo Yan knew Lou Yu's intentions, he just felt panicked and felt a little uncomfortable.
Lou Yu smiled: "Thank you for saving me in time, if it wasn't for you, I would probably have to stay in bed right now."
At that time, he was quite sure that as long as he changed his direction a little and relieved the strength of the jade pillow, he would not be seriously injured, at best, he would just scratch his skin and bleed a little.
But this is indeed a gambling psychology.
He did not hesitate to risk himself to increase the chips in his hand, but he ignored other people's thoughts.
He is really grateful to Huo Yan.
"You have good hearing. What news have you heard recently?" Lou Yu stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down and chat.
After talking, Huo Yan didn't hold back, as long as someone no longer disregards his own safety in the future.
Sitting on the other side of the table, he said in a deep voice: "There are several feudal lords conspiring with the prince to escape from Beijing."
Lou Yu raised his eyebrows: "Is your brain really okay?"
At this juncture, how could the emperor not take strict precautions?
It is estimated that the interior and exterior of the hotel are closely guarded by eyeliner.
The only way out of Beijing is to obediently surrender the military power.
And even if he really escaped, wouldn't the emperor have a name to confer crimes and cut down the feudal clan?
So naive!
"What about the rest?"
Huo Yan said: "All the vassals and princes have discussed it together, but this matter is risky, and only these few people are willing to participate."
"Hey, why is the Xie family moving so slowly?" Lou Yu sighed, "Isn't he always good at guessing what he wants? Why haven't he acted yet?"
The young son was lying on the table angrily, with the words "I'm so annoying" written all over his handsome eyebrows.
Huo Yan couldn't help raising his lips: "Want to go back?"
"Well, Gyeongju is better. And I also want to take my sister back to Gyeongju as soon as possible."
As soon as the words fell, Feng Erbi returned to the courtyard and shouted: "Your Highness! Your Highness! Something serious happened!"
Huo Yanli stood up and opened the door.
Feng Erbi broke in directly, and when facing Lou Yu, his eyes were full of joy, but his tone was extremely angry: "Your Highness, Lord Xie Houye and Xie Dalang are kneeling in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, saying that they want to make peace with the princess!"
Lou Yu's eyes lit up, here he comes!
He made so many preparations, isn't it just to let the Xie family take the initiative to ask the emperor to cut off the marriage line!
In the past few days, the city has been full of wind and rain, and the news of Xie's harsh treatment of the princess has been widely spread, and then many secrets of Xie's family have been revealed.
There are many people in the world who hurt people when they are in trouble, how many enemies can the Zanying family have?
Once there are black spots on his body, dirty water will be poured on him.
Dirty and smelly things can be dug out.
Some people even came out to testify that Xie Dalang had an affair with Xie Houye's concubine.
There is even more powerful one, who is said to be Xie Dalang's concubine son, but is actually Xie Houye's offspring.
Such an eclectic plot is what the common people love to hear the most.
Bizarre and tortuous rumors spread so loudly that even the powerful servants of the Xie family dared not go out.
Lord Xie Houye and Xie Dalang would be attacked by eyeballs every day when they nodded, it was extremely embarrassing and embarrassing.
Xie Houye was so anxious that he would not let Xie Mao, the instigator, be easily let go. Regardless of his leg injury, he directly used family law to beat this ineffective person to half death.
Mrs. Xie couldn't stop crying no matter how loudly she cried.
Xie Dalang is still young and thin-skinned, so he directly asked for leave to stay at home.
In the past, when his younger brother was beaten by Lord Xie Hou, he would have stepped forward to stop him, but this time, he just pretended not to see it.
If Xie Mao hadn't repeatedly teased and humiliated Lou Yu, Lou Yu, that unscrupulous bastard, wouldn't have made such a big fuss.
But he didn't think about himself.
If he hadn't fulfilled his duty as a husband, Lou Yu would not be qualified to interfere in the affairs of Xie's house.
How can I restore my reputation?
The father and son combined their studies late at night.
"Father, all this happened because Lou Quan moved out of the Hou's mansion, why not take her back to the mansion and treat her well, such rumors will certainly be self-defeating."
Xie Xin glanced at Xie Ce coldly.
He used to think that this eldest son could shine on the lintel of the Marquis Mansion, but now he was quite disappointed.
Whether it is dealing with the dispute between Xie Mao and Lou Yu in the street, or the matter of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, it seems short-sighted and without foresight.
This is the heir he carefully cultivated, and he can't even win over a woman!
"When you got married, I warned you that you must win over Lou Quan, at least make her obey you, but how did you do it?"
If it wasn't for Lou Quan, Lou Yu wouldn't have had conflicts with the Hou Fu.
Xie Ce frowned: "Father, it's not that I haven't done it before, but...but she is so old-fashioned and boring, like a cold stone, it can't be warmed at all."
"If you don't give birth to a concubine, can she treat you coldly?"
"Three wives and four concubines are common things for a man, why can't she tolerate it? Just because she is the princess?"
Thank you letter: "..."
He was too lazy to say any more, so he returned to the main topic: "Your Majesty agrees that Lou Quan will move out of the Marquis Mansion, do you know what is the purpose?"
Xie Ce: "Could it be... Your Majesty is beating our house?"
Xie Xin nodded in satisfaction, not too stupid.
He asked again: "Then tell me, what should we do?"
Xie Ce: "Since His Majesty beat our house, shouldn't we take Lou Quan back?"
Thank you letter: "..."
Still stupid!
His eyes were angry: "After teaching you for so many years, why do you still not understand? His Majesty expresses his approval for you to make peace with Lou Quan!"
Xie Ce was surprised at first, then delighted: "Really?!"
Can he leave?
Thank you letter: "..."
He waved his hand weakly: "Go back to sleep! Follow me to the palace tomorrow and kneel!"
Xie Ce: "Why?"
Xie Xin was furious: "Because only if we sincerely beg His Majesty, His Majesty will agree to divorce!"
"Didn't you say that His Majesty has agreed?"
"roll!!!"
Xie's father and son knelt in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, begging the emperor to take back the order, causing an uproar in the capital again.
"Do you know? Xie Hou said that he was ashamed of entrusting His Majesty to let the princess suffer in the Hou Mansion. He admitted that the Hou Mansion treated the princess badly!"
"No, what I heard is that Lord Xie said that because the Princess misses her relatives, she sheds tears day and night, and that's why she's broken. The Hou Mansion didn't treat her badly at all!"
"No, no, I heard that the princess believes in Taoism and eats the wind and drinks the dew, so she wears plain clothes and is so weak."
"..."
In any case, the Hou Mansion's whitewashing effect is not bad.
Sitting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor sighed to the manager, "This letter of thanks is really a good subject of mine."
These words have several meanings, and the manager didn't know how to answer for a while.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't let him answer, and continued: "In the past, he Xie family came to me and asked to marry Ah Quan, and I agreed. Now he is here to let me break the marriage. How can I easily agree?"
The manager knew it all.
He went out of the palace and said to Xie's father and son: "Your Majesty will not agree, Xie Hou should go back to the mansion."
Xie Xin said bitterly: "I feel ashamed in my heart, and I cannot escape the blame if I die. I implore Your Majesty to allow you and your unfilial son to make amends here."
At the beginning it was obviously the emperor who suggested that the Xie family propose to marry Lou Quan, but now, the Xie family has to bear the stigma.
Xie Xin is not without anger, but how can he fight against the emperor?
Xie Ce felt even more uncomfortable.
He didn't like Lou Quan in the first place, if the emperor didn't give him the marriage, he could have married the girl he loves.
The past few years have been wasted in vain.
In the end, they had to kneel down and atone for their sins.
On the first day that Xie's father and son knelt, the common people in the capital were all watching.
The second day after Xie's father and son knelt down, the people in the capital began to feel that Xie's family was a bit pitiful.
On the third day, Xie Xin knelt down and fainted, and the wind of rumors completely changed.
"Since you've become a resentful couple, let's just make up and leave, and it's over!"
"At the beginning, it was Xie's family who took the initiative to ask for marriage, and His Majesty agreed. Now that Xie's family has backed down, how can His Majesty go back on what he said?"
"It's not a problem if you continue like this!"
At this moment, the emperor finally delivered the imperial decree.
The general idea is: Although the Xie family made mistakes, they have a positive and sincere attitude in admitting their mistakes. I forgive you all generously.I am grateful for the princess's homesickness, and I can't bear the princess to continue to leave his hometown.Then they agreed that Xie Ce and Lou Quan should make peace.
It fully demonstrates the emperor's broad mind and benevolence and generosity.
Simply perfect!
It is said that after receiving the imperial decree, the Xie family wept with joy and shouted "Long live the Holy Spirit" three times.
After receiving the imperial decree, the princess also burst into tears, thanking His Majesty for his kindness.
It can be said that each has his own place.
Lou Yu finally let go of the big stone in his heart, and tightly held Lou Quan's hand.
Lou Quan was indifferent.
"Brother, Your Majesty wants to withdraw military power, do you have a countermeasure?"
In the inner room, Lou Quansu asked him.
These days, she observed Lou Yu's way of doing things, how could she not know that Lou Yu was just pretending to be frivolous and dull, but actually planning in secret?
If she couldn't see all of this, she wouldn't have seen through Xie Ce's hypocrisy back then, so she wouldn't have pretended to him.
Now she is free, but brother is still in trouble.
Lou Yu said: "My father and I don't care, as long as our family is safe and sound. But I'm afraid of being beaten up, so I dare not be such an early bird."
Lou Quan didn't know the current situation in Qingzhou, after hearing what he said, he really thought that his father was willing to hand over the military power.
"Is your father alright?"
There was endless commotion in the Hou Mansion and the capital, and Lou Quan never had a chance to inquire about it, but seeing Lou Yu's relaxed appearance, presumably his father is fine.
Lou Yu comforted him, "The doctor said it's good to rest."
"That's good."
Lou Quan can't wait to go back to Gyeongju to reunite with his family.
I thought that after Xie's family affairs were over, the capital would stop for a while.
But the common people never expected that upon waking up, an extremely appalling thing would happen in the capital.
Several vassal kings and princes died unfortunately last night!
It is said that he was brutally murdered by a small group of refugees in the suburbs of Beijing.
Early in the morning, the corpse lay outside the Xuanwu Gate, and was seen by the people who rushed to the city gate ahead of time to line up.
It is said that the death was extremely tragic!
After Lou Yu heard the news, he let out a long sigh and lost his appetite for food.
The emperor will not be soft on those who leave Beijing privately.
This trick is used to scare chickens and monkeys, and it is used with great proficiency.
As soon as he put down the bowl, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
"A Yu! Are you there!" Lou Wei shouted anxiously outside the door.
Feng Erbi went to open the door.
Lou Wei sneaked in like the wind, even Ah Da couldn't keep up.
"A Yu, he's dead!"
His face was pale, he didn't care about etiquette, and sat directly opposite Lou Yu.
Lou Yu said, "I already know. What are you doing here?"
"I..." Lou Wei lowered his voice, "The ones who died were those who sternly refused to cut down the feudal clan at the birthday banquet. A Yu, tell me, Your Majesty won't really kill us, right?"
Lou Yu asked: "Before you set off, did King Cang tell you anything?"
"No, my father said that I should go to the capital to eat, drink and have fun."
Lou Yu: "..."
This father and son are really big-hearted.
He asked again: "Then do you think, in your father's heart, who is more important, you or military power?"
"Of course it is me!"
Lou Yu smiled: "Well, next time I enter the palace, I'll ask you to come with me."
"And then?" Lou Wei was puzzled.
Ah Da asked: "Does Your Highness really want to give up military power?"
Lou Yu was very straightforward: "I cherish my life very much."
"Then I'll give up too!" Lou Wei resolutely agreed.
Ah Da: "..."
How is he going to explain to his highness that this Yu Shizi seems to have a plan?
Will Yu Shizi really hand over his military power?
The deaths of several vassal kings and princes who fled privately shocked the other vassal kings and princes.
Those who dare not flee are those who cherish their lives. As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die. If you die, you will have nothing!
The rest of the feudal princes and princes came to Lou Yu together.
Lou Yu was shocked: "What do you mean?"
The first son said: "Didn't you be very upright at the birthday banquet that day?"
Lou Yu: "Then why should I make a statement to Your Majesty first? Just after a few people died, I went to His Majesty to hand over the military power. Am I shameless?"
"Anyway, you don't have a good reputation in the capital!"
Lou Yu rolled his eyes.
"Don't do it!"
The two sides were at war, Lou Wei suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go!"
Ah Da didn't stop him, with a gloomy expression on his face.
Don't look at the fact that the arrow is on the string right now, and he has to surrender military power to save his life, but once the matter is over, everyone will point their fingers at this early bird.
People's hearts are unpredictable.
"That's what you said! Don't go back on your word!"
Lou Wei nodded: "I don't regret it, but I don't want to go right now."
"What are you kidding!"
Lou Wei said calmly, "I haven't had enough fun in the capital. There are so many interesting things in the capital, and I haven't bought that kaleidoscope."
"Isn't it just a kaleidoscope? I'll give it to you!" the rich and powerful prince said hoarsely.
Lou Wei: "I still owe the Du family money, and I don't plan to leave the capital until I pay it back. Anyway, we don't have much troops in Cangzhou, so His Majesty probably won't care too much."
Everyone: "..."
Lou Yu almost burst out laughing, it's amazing!
Another feudal lord said in a bad voice: "How much difference, I will pay for you!"
Lou Wei narrowed his eyes with a smile, "The convoy was robbed when I came, and there was not even a carriage for the return trip."
"……purchase!"
Lou Wei looked back at Ada: "Ada! Please help me think about it, what do we still need!"
Ah Da couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Highness, even if we have a carriage, the current world is not peaceful."
"What should I do?"
A Da suggested: "It's better to hire an escort agency with a lot of money."
"This is good!"
The first son said: "If you hire a dart, you can pay a commission when you arrive in Cangzhou!"
"But you have to pay the deposit first." Lou Wei said innocently.
"..."
What else could they do?Give money!
After finally solving all the problems, Lou Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "Whenever you fulfill your promise, when will I enter the palace to see His Majesty."
The vassal kings and princes were not willing to stay here for an extra day. They said that those who gave kaleidoscopes would provide kaleidoscopes, and those who said they would give money would just put money in. When the carriages and bodyguards were ready, it was already dark.
Can only wait for tomorrow.
In the early morning of the next day, everyone waited for news from the palace in the hotel.
At noon, the emperor suddenly issued an edict to reward Lou Wei, saying that he understood righteousness, was loyal to the country, and rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold and some brocades.
Isn't that obvious?
Everyone hurriedly arranged their clothes and entered the palace to face the saint.
Lou Yu hides in the crowd, showing hidden signs, but not revealing his appearance.
The emperor was very pleased, and immediately issued an order to select twelve experienced generals from the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War to go to each vassal's fiefdoms and hand over the military commanders of the vassals' palaces.
If there is a rebellion near the fiefdom, the general will lead the army to suppress the rebellion; if there is no army, he will lead the army to station nearby to defend the city.
After leaving the palace, all the vassals and princes shouted "the general situation is over", and they were so sad that they couldn't eat anymore.
But no matter how sad they were, they had to wait for the military power to gather before they could leave the capital.
Compared with the gloomy clouds of other people, Lou Yu and Lou Wei should eat, drink, and even go shopping together.
Just happened to run into Fan Yusheng again.
The young man in green was still by his side, glaring at Lou Wei.
Lou Wei asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
"I'll just stare at you!" The green-clothed boy snorted coldly, "An unbeliever deserves it!"
Lou Wei: "..."
He slowly took out the kaleidoscope from his sleeve and handed it over: "Why don't I let you have a look?"
The green-clothed boy's eyes widened: "Where did you get it?! Isn't the merchant out of stock?"
He couldn't even buy it.
Lou Wei said generously, "Do you want to see it or not?"
"Look!"
Fan Yusheng stared at Lou Yu: "Master Yu will leave Beijing in a few days, and Fan wants to invite him to have tea with him. Would you like to honor him?"
"Okay." Lou Yu nodded in agreement.
The four of them entered the elegant room of the tea house.
Fan Yusheng made the tea himself.
He was originally handsome and extraordinary, and his demeanor was calm and elegant, and the water mist filled him, making him appear more noble and elegant.
"Master Yu, please."
The cups are like jade, and the tea is fragrant.
Lou Yu drank tea leisurely and contentedly, not at all curious about Fan Yusheng's intention of inviting him to drink tea.
After a while, Fan Yusheng suddenly laughed.
He sincerely praised: "Yu Shizi is so calm, Fan feels ashamed."
Lou Yu looked innocent: "Why did Mr. Fan say that?"
"The prince really wants to give up his military power?"
Lou Yu put down the teacup and said seriously: "Young Master Fan, Your Majesty has ordered the twelve generals to go to the fief to hand over the military power. Can there be a lie?"
"That's why Fan admires the prince." Fan Yusheng said leisurely, "I don't know if the prince has any plans before leaving Beijing?"
"What's the plan?"
Fan Yusheng's eyes darkened: "Du Sanlang is now listening to Taoism in Ziyun Temple, and Xie Erlang is now lying in bed with a broken leg. The son is a smart man, you need to know that the Xie and Du families are not sick cats."
These two families must hate Lou Yu deeply.
Lou Yuren is in the capital, they dare not act rashly, but what if he leaves the capital?
But in this world, the road is full of thorns and thorns, and it is not too normal to have an accident on the road.
Lou Yu understood the meaning of Fan Yusheng's words.
He raised the teacup: "I respect Mr. Fan."
Although he didn't know what Fan Yusheng was thinking, Lou Yu still accepted the kindness.
Fan Yusheng smiled even wider: "If there is a chance, I must go to Gyeongju for a visit. It must be very interesting."
"Welcome."
Afterwards, the two stopped talking, and after a few cups of tea, Lou Yu said goodbye and wanted to leave.
After not taking two steps, Fan Yusheng suddenly said behind him: "Outside the Fengbo Pavilion, there is no one to rely on."
Lou Yu was stunned for a while, then turned around and solemnly cupped his hands: "Thank you."
Fan Yusheng shook his fan, smiling lightly: "Today Mutao, tomorrow Qiongyao, I hope Mr. Yu will not forget."
"I will never forget."
Lou Yu returned to the hotel, called Huo Yan to the inner room, and after a moment of silence, he relayed Fan Yusheng's words to him.
Huo Yan was stunned on the spot.
When they met in the market before, Fan Yusheng mentioned where his mother and sister-in-law were buried, but he didn't say it clearly.
Why did you tell Lou Yu today?
Huo Yan's heart was pounding, and he forced himself to calm down again.
He said in a deep voice, "Maybe it's a trap."
Lou Yu looked at him in surprise, it's really impressive to be able to keep calm in this situation.
He said seriously: "Whether it is a trap or not, we are all trapped in the capital now and cannot go to find out. Don't worry, I will send spies from the capital to find out in secret."
Huo Yan shook his head: "No need. It's not easy to train spies. If there is an ambush there, it will definitely lose soldiers and generals."
Lou Yu's heart was suddenly filled with sourness and emotion.
Huo Yan is so considerate of the overall situation, because he really takes Gyeongju to heart.
He heard Huo Yan say: "Don't worry. If the mother and sister-in-law are really buried outside the Fengbo Pavilion, I will pay homage and kowtow on the day they leave Beijing. If they are not there, we will have no loss."
The current situation is complicated, and it is inconvenient for them to act rashly.
If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely apologize at the grave of his mother and sister-in-law.
Ten days later, the emperor finally issued an order to allow all the vassal kings and princes to leave Beijing and return to their fiefs.
With military power in hand, the emperor can sit back and relax.
As for the rebels, the court has its own loyal ministers and good generals to suppress them, and he is not afraid at all.
Only the vassal king who holds military power can make him toss and turn.
Now that a big stone has landed in his heart, the emperor no longer has to worry about it.
Even if he dies, his blood can still stand firm.
In the hotel, all the vassal kings and princes packed their luggage in desperation, planning to leave this place of right and wrong early tomorrow morning.
Feng Erbi asked quietly: "Your Highness, let's go back with such a big fanfare? What if we encounter those vicious bandits on the way?"
"Isn't this better?" Lou Yu laughed.
Feng Erbi: "Huh?"
"Don't think about it," Lou Yu tapped on his forehead, "Just remember, no matter what happens on the road tomorrow, follow me closely and keep silent."
Feng Erbi's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, I will remember."
He knew that His Highness could not be unprepared!
At the same time, Lord Xie and Du Shangshu were plotting in their study.
Since Lou Yu entered Beijing, the two of them have been disturbed, how could they let Lou Yu easily?
Xie Houye said to the leader of the secret guards: "Twenty miles away from Beijing, there is a valley. At that time, Lou Yu's convoy will pass by. He will only have two hundred guards, and he will not have much combat effectiveness. If you pretend to be a bandit, you must let him not die or be maimed." .”
Du Shangshu also said to the leader of the secret guards: "Twenty miles away from Beijing, there is a calabash valley with a narrow road in the middle. When you take advantage of Lou Yu's motorcade passing through the passage, you will disperse his team, and you must teach Lou Yu a lesson." !"
The two families coincided with each other, and both planned to do something in Calabash Valley.
In the early morning of the next day, the gates of the capital city were opened wide in anticipation.
A group of vassal kings and princes left the mansion, and each returned with their guards.
The emperor was merciful and said that the soldiers brought by the vassal kings to Beijing this time do not need to be recruited, they should be the personal guards of the kings.
The kings also have to be grateful to Dade, and praise His Majesty's benevolence and virtue.
Full of grievance and anger, they embarked on a dark and chaotic future.
Lou Yu sat on the carriage and asked Huo Yan: "The Calabash Valley is ahead, are you ready?"
Huo Yan nodded: "It's all ready."
If someone is interested in checking Lou Yu's team, he will find that there is one person missing in the team.
At some point, Zhou Man had disappeared into the ranks of the government soldiers.
Gourd Valley, as the name suggests, is shaped like a lying gourd, with a very narrow road in the middle, which can only be passed by a carriage.
Jiang Yong ordered the government soldiers to line up and pass through the canyon one by one.
On both sides of the canyon, a group of people waited with bated breath.
Coincidentally, in order not to reveal their whereabouts, the two parties were silent and did not know the existence of the other party.
Closer, closer.
Prince Qing's son finally arrived at the entrance of the narrow road. As long as he entered, the carriage could not turn around and escape, and the government soldiers could not turn around to rescue in time.
It's now!
The leaders of both sides stretched out their hands to signal.
But when they stretched halfway, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the front of the canyon, screaming and killing, with a ferocious aura.
They were dressed in rags, held knives and halberds, and looked like wolfs, and went straight to the carriage in the narrow road!
The people on both sides above the valley crouched back again, intending to check the situation first.
Several people rushed into the carriage ferociously and dragged the "pale-faced" Lou Yu out.
The leader pinched Lou Yu's neck and yelled at the government soldiers who came to rescue him: "If you resist me again, kill him!"
Jiang Yong immediately signaled the government soldiers to cease fighting.
He looked panic-stricken: "The strong man has something to say! You can say whatever you want, please don't hurt my master!"
Xie Jiami
The emperor had a splitting headache, and while secretly annoyed that Lou Yu would make trouble, he couldn't help turning his anger on Xie's family.
Knowing that Lou Yu is coming to Beijing, can't he put on a show!Don't mess with him at this juncture!
He rubbed his brows and asked, "What do you mean by taking Ah Quan out of the Hou Mansion?"
There were tears in Lou Yu's eyes: "Your Majesty, I really don't want to see my sister continue to be tortured by the Xie family!"
He was actually somewhat sure of it.
At the beginning, the emperor acted as a matchmaker for King Qing and Hou Xie, in order to use Lou Quan to restrain King Qing. Maybe King Qing might not care about the life and death of married women, but talking is better than nothing.
Right now it is imperative to take back the military power of the feudal lords, Lou Quan is useless to restrain him, it is better to show benevolence and sell King Qing alone, and express to the other feudal lords that he will still treat Lou's blood kindly.
As expected, the emperor pondered for a moment, then let go and said: "In that case, you and Ah Quan will move out of the Hou's Mansion for the time being, and live back in the hotel."
Lou Yu was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, sister and Xie Ce..."
"We'll discuss this matter again."
It is impossible for the emperor to slap himself in the face immediately.
Lou Yu was satisfied, thanked her and dragged Lou Quan out of the palace.
Feng Erbi immediately greeted him with a worried expression on his face.
"Your Highness, princess, what's the matter?"
Lou Yu's eyes were still red, but there was a smile on his face: "Er Bi, go to the Hou's Mansion to pack up your belongings, let's go live in the hotel!"
"The princess?"
"Of course my sister will be with me!"
Feng Erbi was so happy that he didn't want to stay in the Hou Mansion for a long time.
The three came to the carriage.
Huo Yan sat in the front room of the carriage, bowed his head and said nothing.
After Lou's siblings entered the compartment, they silently waved their whips to drive the horses.
Sitting beside him, Feng Erbi always felt cold.
When they arrived at Hou Mansion, Mrs. Hou led someone to greet her, and was about to ask, Lou Yu pretended that she didn't exist, and took Lou Quan to pack her luggage.
Lou Yu didn't have much belongings, so he sorted them out soon.
After all, Lou Quan is a woman, clothes, jewelry, daily necessities, odds and ends are especially complicated, and there is no end to packing.
"Sister, I don't want these old things anymore. Let's buy better ones after we go out."
Lou Yu had a "dominant president" face, as if he wanted to spend a lot of money for his sister.
Lou Quan smiled and pinched his face: "It's better to keep a low profile first."
"Sister is right!"
Lou Yu felt that it made sense, so he rolled up his sleeves to help clean up together, feeling quite relieved.
Although the elder sister is not a modern elder sister and her fate is completely different, her essence remains the same.
Both are equally strong and intelligent.
Seeing this, Mrs. Hou turned pale and asked, "Ah Quan, what are you doing?"
Lou Quan turned his back to her, without lifting an eyelid.
"Mrs. Xie, I'm going to stay with brother in the hotel for a few days. I can't serve you in front of you anymore. Madam please take care of me in the future."
Madam Hou exclaimed, "What do you mean?!"
Lou Yu turned to look at her, with a gloomy expression: "Literally. I have expressed what Xie Mao said to His Majesty, and His Majesty also agreed that sister should move out of the Hou's residence. Do you have any objections?"
His domineering and domineering image after entering Beijing was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, his complexion darkened at first, but he showed a bit of intimidating power.
Madam Hou was startled, and couldn't help taking a step back, unable to say anything.
But how can such a stubborn person be so scary!
The two wanted to leave, but Mrs. Hou couldn't stop them, so she had to watch the four of them leave the Hou's mansion.
Lou Yu had just stepped out of the gate of the Marquis Mansion when four beautiful young men came after him.
"Your Highness, take the servant with you."
Yuanwei looked at Lou Yu with watery eyes, as if he would cry if Lou Yu refused.
The other three all showed pleading eyes, making Lou Yu look like a heartless man.
Lou Yu sighed softly, and said earnestly: "The hotel can't let you in, you don't have to follow me anymore."
Anyway, it's all eyeliner, so go back and return to life soon.
After saying that, Li Luo got into the carriage.
The four of Iris looked at each other, watched the carriage drive away, and then restrained their expressions.
Madam Hou naturally would not let them enter the mansion again, and ordered people to close the gate of the Hou mansion.
The four of them headed towards the imperial city.
Not long after Lou Yu left the palace, the emperor received the news.
"Xie Mao really wants to kill Lou Yu?"
The main channel: "It's absolutely true. If the jade pillow really hits Shizi's head, Shizi will not die but will also be disabled."
The emperor frowned: "This Xie Erlang is so rampant. He blocked the way and humiliated him, and he killed people impulsively. He really lacks education."
Although he has no feelings for Lou Yu, they share the same root after all.
Xie's family is no more than foreign ministers, so insulting Lou's clan members, wouldn't it make him, the emperor, lose face?
The general manager comforted: "Your Majesty, calm down, the body of the dragon is important. The son and Xie Erlang are both young and vigorous, and conflicts are inevitable."
"Isn't it all picked by Xie Erlang? Didn't he still want to use the damaged kaleidoscope to blackmail Lou Yu?" The emperor said angrily, "I think Xie's family is really big-hearted!"
Having been in a high position for a long time, it is inevitable to be suspicious.
"Your Majesty, right now the princess and Xie Dalang's husband and wife are dead, I think the princess wants to make peace with him."
The emperor said: "That's their business, I don't care."
In the feudal king's residence, the four of Lou Yu walked in with big bags and small bags, which surprised all the feudal kings and princes.
Don't you live in Houfu?How did you move back?
Someone couldn't understand Lou Yu's cowardly behavior at the birthday banquet, and sneered, "He must have been kicked out by the Hou Mansion!"
"The Hou Mansion is shameless? It should not do such a thing."
"Yes, but why did I see Lou Quan also come?"
"Send Lou Yu over here."
"No, she stayed!"
"No way? The Hou Mansion really drove their siblings out?!"
The emperor intends to seize the military power of the vassal king, and put the vassal king and his son under house arrest in the residence. They have been at a loss for the past few days, causing the residence to be silent for several days.
Today is finally lively again.
People like to watch the excitement.
Feng Erbi is indeed a good propagandist, as long as someone asks insincerely, he will look like weeping, telling the tragic experience of the princess in the Hou Mansion these years, and reprimanding Xie Mao for his cruelty to the son.
Everyone was astonished.
Ning Enhou's Mansion is too much!
After all, Lou Quan is the emperor's niece, she is the daughter of the Lou family's clan, but she was tortured into this by the Hou Fu forcibly!
Then Xie Erlang is even more weird, not only humiliating the prince in the street, but also killing the prince, it is lawless!
This is their vassal status, so humble!
They are already so humble, but His Majesty is still worried about them.
Too bad, too bad.
A group of people waited for grief, and the resort was gloomy.
For some reason, these things quickly spread in the streets and alleys of the capital.
"The Hou Mansion kicked out the princess?"
"It wasn't driven out, but the Princess couldn't stand it, so she moved out by herself."
"I've said before that Xie Dalang spoils his concubine and kills his wife. He is not a good man. Mrs. Hou has a mean face, and she looks like a torturer!"
"What is this? Then Xie Erlang still wants to kill King Qing's son! This is why the son has to leave the Hou Mansion, otherwise he will not know when he will be killed."
"Hey! This is amazing! I used to think that Xie Erlang was arrogant and rude, but I didn't expect him to even kill the eldest son!"
"Who says it's not! The Princess and the Crown Prince are still the nephews of the Holy Majesty. Tell me, where does the Xie family have the guts to treat the royal family harshly?"
"Since you can't live on, why don't you make peace?"
"This is the red line drawn by the emperor, who dares to reconcile? We can only spend it!"
"..."
Gossip is flying all over the sky in the capital, and the common people are elated and spit flying.
Tea houses, restaurants, streets and alleys, people are talking about it.
Ever since Lou Yu entered Beijing, the conversation around him in the capital has never stopped.
Fan Yusheng sat on the teahouse, drinking tea and listening to gossip.
"Brother Fan, let me listen, why do you think Lou Yu and the others are really pitiful?" The young man in green frowned and said sympathetically.
Fan Yusheng smiled: "I think it's really interesting."
The young man in green was surprised, is Brother Fan so unsympathetic?
"Do you know, under what circumstances can this marriage be resolved?" Fan Yusheng asked.
The young man in green shook his head: "This is a matchmaker made by His Majesty. Unless His Majesty withdraws his order, how can we leave?"
His Majesty opened his mouth, but how could he open his mouth?
Fan Yusheng lowered his head and chuckled.
"What if Your Majesty can take back orders and show benevolence?"
The boy in green was surprised: "How is it possible!"
"Let's wait and see."
Fan Yusheng didn't say much anymore, he took a cup of tea and sipped it carefully, seemingly elegant and indifferent, only he himself knew that he was excited.
Since Prince Qing's son entered Beijing, this feeling of excitement has become stronger day by day.
The emperor was playing chess, and Prince Qing's son was also playing chess. Now the climax was approaching, how could he not be excited as a chess spectator.
In his opinion, the biggest winner in this game may not be the emperor, but Lou Yu.
Wonderful, really wonderful.
He was very curious about how Lou Yu would respond after the emperor made the ultimate move of taking back the military power.
In the hotel, Lou Yu was writing at his desk when he suddenly sneezed.
Feng Erbi went out to do publicity, and only Huo Yan was guarding outside the house.
Hearing the sound of sneezing, his ears moved slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he reached out and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Lou Yu rubbed the tip of his nose, making a loud sound.
Huo Yan stepped into the house against the light, took out a thin blanket from under the cage without saying a word, and handed it to Lou Yu.
After Lou Yu took it, he quickly stopped.
Lou Yu pinched his sleeve, tilted his head and looked over, somewhat teasing and somewhat helpless: "Are you willing to talk to me?"
"No." Huo Yan said bluntly.
Lou Yu smiled and asked, "Nothing?"
Huo Yan lowered his eyes, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes, and said: "It's cold, put it on."
——I didn't ignore you.
"Thank you."
Lou Yu obediently put on a thin blanket.
"I did not hide on purpose that day."
Huo Yan didn't show any expression: "Yes."
"Aren't you angry anymore?"
Lou Yu vaguely remembered that day that Huo Yan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He knew that Huo Yan was worried about his safety, so he felt a little bit relieved, but also a little guilty.
Although Huo Yan is more taciturn than before these few days, he is much more considerate in his actions.
Lou Yu wanted to communicate with him several times, but was overwhelmed by his aura, so some words were blunt and meaningless, and he didn't dare to say more.
After finally seizing this opportunity, he had to explain clearly.
"I'm not angry." Huo Yan said seriously, "How you act is up to you, no need for others to comment."
Lou Yu: "..."
You have said all these words, and you are still not angry?
He simply positively admitted his mistake: "I did have the thought of being hurt at the time, so that I could leave ironclad evidence that Xie Mao hurt me, and it would be more justifiable to go to the emperor and cry."
"I see."
Of course Huo Yan knew Lou Yu's intentions, he just felt panicked and felt a little uncomfortable.
Lou Yu smiled: "Thank you for saving me in time, if it wasn't for you, I would probably have to stay in bed right now."
At that time, he was quite sure that as long as he changed his direction a little and relieved the strength of the jade pillow, he would not be seriously injured, at best, he would just scratch his skin and bleed a little.
But this is indeed a gambling psychology.
He did not hesitate to risk himself to increase the chips in his hand, but he ignored other people's thoughts.
He is really grateful to Huo Yan.
"You have good hearing. What news have you heard recently?" Lou Yu stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down and chat.
After talking, Huo Yan didn't hold back, as long as someone no longer disregards his own safety in the future.
Sitting on the other side of the table, he said in a deep voice: "There are several feudal lords conspiring with the prince to escape from Beijing."
Lou Yu raised his eyebrows: "Is your brain really okay?"
At this juncture, how could the emperor not take strict precautions?
It is estimated that the interior and exterior of the hotel are closely guarded by eyeliner.
The only way out of Beijing is to obediently surrender the military power.
And even if he really escaped, wouldn't the emperor have a name to confer crimes and cut down the feudal clan?
So naive!
"What about the rest?"
Huo Yan said: "All the vassals and princes have discussed it together, but this matter is risky, and only these few people are willing to participate."
"Hey, why is the Xie family moving so slowly?" Lou Yu sighed, "Isn't he always good at guessing what he wants? Why haven't he acted yet?"
The young son was lying on the table angrily, with the words "I'm so annoying" written all over his handsome eyebrows.
Huo Yan couldn't help raising his lips: "Want to go back?"
"Well, Gyeongju is better. And I also want to take my sister back to Gyeongju as soon as possible."
As soon as the words fell, Feng Erbi returned to the courtyard and shouted: "Your Highness! Your Highness! Something serious happened!"
Huo Yanli stood up and opened the door.
Feng Erbi broke in directly, and when facing Lou Yu, his eyes were full of joy, but his tone was extremely angry: "Your Highness, Lord Xie Houye and Xie Dalang are kneeling in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, saying that they want to make peace with the princess!"
Lou Yu's eyes lit up, here he comes!
He made so many preparations, isn't it just to let the Xie family take the initiative to ask the emperor to cut off the marriage line!
In the past few days, the city has been full of wind and rain, and the news of Xie's harsh treatment of the princess has been widely spread, and then many secrets of Xie's family have been revealed.
There are many people in the world who hurt people when they are in trouble, how many enemies can the Zanying family have?
Once there are black spots on his body, dirty water will be poured on him.
Dirty and smelly things can be dug out.
Some people even came out to testify that Xie Dalang had an affair with Xie Houye's concubine.
There is even more powerful one, who is said to be Xie Dalang's concubine son, but is actually Xie Houye's offspring.
Such an eclectic plot is what the common people love to hear the most.
Bizarre and tortuous rumors spread so loudly that even the powerful servants of the Xie family dared not go out.
Lord Xie Houye and Xie Dalang would be attacked by eyeballs every day when they nodded, it was extremely embarrassing and embarrassing.
Xie Houye was so anxious that he would not let Xie Mao, the instigator, be easily let go. Regardless of his leg injury, he directly used family law to beat this ineffective person to half death.
Mrs. Xie couldn't stop crying no matter how loudly she cried.
Xie Dalang is still young and thin-skinned, so he directly asked for leave to stay at home.
In the past, when his younger brother was beaten by Lord Xie Hou, he would have stepped forward to stop him, but this time, he just pretended not to see it.
If Xie Mao hadn't repeatedly teased and humiliated Lou Yu, Lou Yu, that unscrupulous bastard, wouldn't have made such a big fuss.
But he didn't think about himself.
If he hadn't fulfilled his duty as a husband, Lou Yu would not be qualified to interfere in the affairs of Xie's house.
How can I restore my reputation?
The father and son combined their studies late at night.
"Father, all this happened because Lou Quan moved out of the Hou's mansion, why not take her back to the mansion and treat her well, such rumors will certainly be self-defeating."
Xie Xin glanced at Xie Ce coldly.
He used to think that this eldest son could shine on the lintel of the Marquis Mansion, but now he was quite disappointed.
Whether it is dealing with the dispute between Xie Mao and Lou Yu in the street, or the matter of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, it seems short-sighted and without foresight.
This is the heir he carefully cultivated, and he can't even win over a woman!
"When you got married, I warned you that you must win over Lou Quan, at least make her obey you, but how did you do it?"
If it wasn't for Lou Quan, Lou Yu wouldn't have had conflicts with the Hou Fu.
Xie Ce frowned: "Father, it's not that I haven't done it before, but...but she is so old-fashioned and boring, like a cold stone, it can't be warmed at all."
"If you don't give birth to a concubine, can she treat you coldly?"
"Three wives and four concubines are common things for a man, why can't she tolerate it? Just because she is the princess?"
Thank you letter: "..."
He was too lazy to say any more, so he returned to the main topic: "Your Majesty agrees that Lou Quan will move out of the Marquis Mansion, do you know what is the purpose?"
Xie Ce: "Could it be... Your Majesty is beating our house?"
Xie Xin nodded in satisfaction, not too stupid.
He asked again: "Then tell me, what should we do?"
Xie Ce: "Since His Majesty beat our house, shouldn't we take Lou Quan back?"
Thank you letter: "..."
Still stupid!
His eyes were angry: "After teaching you for so many years, why do you still not understand? His Majesty expresses his approval for you to make peace with Lou Quan!"
Xie Ce was surprised at first, then delighted: "Really?!"
Can he leave?
Thank you letter: "..."
He waved his hand weakly: "Go back to sleep! Follow me to the palace tomorrow and kneel!"
Xie Ce: "Why?"
Xie Xin was furious: "Because only if we sincerely beg His Majesty, His Majesty will agree to divorce!"
"Didn't you say that His Majesty has agreed?"
"roll!!!"
Xie's father and son knelt in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, begging the emperor to take back the order, causing an uproar in the capital again.
"Do you know? Xie Hou said that he was ashamed of entrusting His Majesty to let the princess suffer in the Hou Mansion. He admitted that the Hou Mansion treated the princess badly!"
"No, what I heard is that Lord Xie said that because the Princess misses her relatives, she sheds tears day and night, and that's why she's broken. The Hou Mansion didn't treat her badly at all!"
"No, no, I heard that the princess believes in Taoism and eats the wind and drinks the dew, so she wears plain clothes and is so weak."
"..."
In any case, the Hou Mansion's whitewashing effect is not bad.
Sitting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor sighed to the manager, "This letter of thanks is really a good subject of mine."
These words have several meanings, and the manager didn't know how to answer for a while.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't let him answer, and continued: "In the past, he Xie family came to me and asked to marry Ah Quan, and I agreed. Now he is here to let me break the marriage. How can I easily agree?"
The manager knew it all.
He went out of the palace and said to Xie's father and son: "Your Majesty will not agree, Xie Hou should go back to the mansion."
Xie Xin said bitterly: "I feel ashamed in my heart, and I cannot escape the blame if I die. I implore Your Majesty to allow you and your unfilial son to make amends here."
At the beginning it was obviously the emperor who suggested that the Xie family propose to marry Lou Quan, but now, the Xie family has to bear the stigma.
Xie Xin is not without anger, but how can he fight against the emperor?
Xie Ce felt even more uncomfortable.
He didn't like Lou Quan in the first place, if the emperor didn't give him the marriage, he could have married the girl he loves.
The past few years have been wasted in vain.
In the end, they had to kneel down and atone for their sins.
On the first day that Xie's father and son knelt, the common people in the capital were all watching.
The second day after Xie's father and son knelt down, the people in the capital began to feel that Xie's family was a bit pitiful.
On the third day, Xie Xin knelt down and fainted, and the wind of rumors completely changed.
"Since you've become a resentful couple, let's just make up and leave, and it's over!"
"At the beginning, it was Xie's family who took the initiative to ask for marriage, and His Majesty agreed. Now that Xie's family has backed down, how can His Majesty go back on what he said?"
"It's not a problem if you continue like this!"
At this moment, the emperor finally delivered the imperial decree.
The general idea is: Although the Xie family made mistakes, they have a positive and sincere attitude in admitting their mistakes. I forgive you all generously.I am grateful for the princess's homesickness, and I can't bear the princess to continue to leave his hometown.Then they agreed that Xie Ce and Lou Quan should make peace.
It fully demonstrates the emperor's broad mind and benevolence and generosity.
Simply perfect!
It is said that after receiving the imperial decree, the Xie family wept with joy and shouted "Long live the Holy Spirit" three times.
After receiving the imperial decree, the princess also burst into tears, thanking His Majesty for his kindness.
It can be said that each has his own place.
Lou Yu finally let go of the big stone in his heart, and tightly held Lou Quan's hand.
Lou Quan was indifferent.
"Brother, Your Majesty wants to withdraw military power, do you have a countermeasure?"
In the inner room, Lou Quansu asked him.
These days, she observed Lou Yu's way of doing things, how could she not know that Lou Yu was just pretending to be frivolous and dull, but actually planning in secret?
If she couldn't see all of this, she wouldn't have seen through Xie Ce's hypocrisy back then, so she wouldn't have pretended to him.
Now she is free, but brother is still in trouble.
Lou Yu said: "My father and I don't care, as long as our family is safe and sound. But I'm afraid of being beaten up, so I dare not be such an early bird."
Lou Quan didn't know the current situation in Qingzhou, after hearing what he said, he really thought that his father was willing to hand over the military power.
"Is your father alright?"
There was endless commotion in the Hou Mansion and the capital, and Lou Quan never had a chance to inquire about it, but seeing Lou Yu's relaxed appearance, presumably his father is fine.
Lou Yu comforted him, "The doctor said it's good to rest."
"That's good."
Lou Quan can't wait to go back to Gyeongju to reunite with his family.
I thought that after Xie's family affairs were over, the capital would stop for a while.
But the common people never expected that upon waking up, an extremely appalling thing would happen in the capital.
Several vassal kings and princes died unfortunately last night!
It is said that he was brutally murdered by a small group of refugees in the suburbs of Beijing.
Early in the morning, the corpse lay outside the Xuanwu Gate, and was seen by the people who rushed to the city gate ahead of time to line up.
It is said that the death was extremely tragic!
After Lou Yu heard the news, he let out a long sigh and lost his appetite for food.
The emperor will not be soft on those who leave Beijing privately.
This trick is used to scare chickens and monkeys, and it is used with great proficiency.
As soon as he put down the bowl, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
"A Yu! Are you there!" Lou Wei shouted anxiously outside the door.
Feng Erbi went to open the door.
Lou Wei sneaked in like the wind, even Ah Da couldn't keep up.
"A Yu, he's dead!"
His face was pale, he didn't care about etiquette, and sat directly opposite Lou Yu.
Lou Yu said, "I already know. What are you doing here?"
"I..." Lou Wei lowered his voice, "The ones who died were those who sternly refused to cut down the feudal clan at the birthday banquet. A Yu, tell me, Your Majesty won't really kill us, right?"
Lou Yu asked: "Before you set off, did King Cang tell you anything?"
"No, my father said that I should go to the capital to eat, drink and have fun."
Lou Yu: "..."
This father and son are really big-hearted.
He asked again: "Then do you think, in your father's heart, who is more important, you or military power?"
"Of course it is me!"
Lou Yu smiled: "Well, next time I enter the palace, I'll ask you to come with me."
"And then?" Lou Wei was puzzled.
Ah Da asked: "Does Your Highness really want to give up military power?"
Lou Yu was very straightforward: "I cherish my life very much."
"Then I'll give up too!" Lou Wei resolutely agreed.
Ah Da: "..."
How is he going to explain to his highness that this Yu Shizi seems to have a plan?
Will Yu Shizi really hand over his military power?
The deaths of several vassal kings and princes who fled privately shocked the other vassal kings and princes.
Those who dare not flee are those who cherish their lives. As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die. If you die, you will have nothing!
The rest of the feudal princes and princes came to Lou Yu together.
Lou Yu was shocked: "What do you mean?"
The first son said: "Didn't you be very upright at the birthday banquet that day?"
Lou Yu: "Then why should I make a statement to Your Majesty first? Just after a few people died, I went to His Majesty to hand over the military power. Am I shameless?"
"Anyway, you don't have a good reputation in the capital!"
Lou Yu rolled his eyes.
"Don't do it!"
The two sides were at war, Lou Wei suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go!"
Ah Da didn't stop him, with a gloomy expression on his face.
Don't look at the fact that the arrow is on the string right now, and he has to surrender military power to save his life, but once the matter is over, everyone will point their fingers at this early bird.
People's hearts are unpredictable.
"That's what you said! Don't go back on your word!"
Lou Wei nodded: "I don't regret it, but I don't want to go right now."
"What are you kidding!"
Lou Wei said calmly, "I haven't had enough fun in the capital. There are so many interesting things in the capital, and I haven't bought that kaleidoscope."
"Isn't it just a kaleidoscope? I'll give it to you!" the rich and powerful prince said hoarsely.
Lou Wei: "I still owe the Du family money, and I don't plan to leave the capital until I pay it back. Anyway, we don't have much troops in Cangzhou, so His Majesty probably won't care too much."
Everyone: "..."
Lou Yu almost burst out laughing, it's amazing!
Another feudal lord said in a bad voice: "How much difference, I will pay for you!"
Lou Wei narrowed his eyes with a smile, "The convoy was robbed when I came, and there was not even a carriage for the return trip."
"……purchase!"
Lou Wei looked back at Ada: "Ada! Please help me think about it, what do we still need!"
Ah Da couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Highness, even if we have a carriage, the current world is not peaceful."
"What should I do?"
A Da suggested: "It's better to hire an escort agency with a lot of money."
"This is good!"
The first son said: "If you hire a dart, you can pay a commission when you arrive in Cangzhou!"
"But you have to pay the deposit first." Lou Wei said innocently.
"..."
What else could they do?Give money!
After finally solving all the problems, Lou Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "Whenever you fulfill your promise, when will I enter the palace to see His Majesty."
The vassal kings and princes were not willing to stay here for an extra day. They said that those who gave kaleidoscopes would provide kaleidoscopes, and those who said they would give money would just put money in. When the carriages and bodyguards were ready, it was already dark.
Can only wait for tomorrow.
In the early morning of the next day, everyone waited for news from the palace in the hotel.
At noon, the emperor suddenly issued an edict to reward Lou Wei, saying that he understood righteousness, was loyal to the country, and rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold and some brocades.
Isn't that obvious?
Everyone hurriedly arranged their clothes and entered the palace to face the saint.
Lou Yu hides in the crowd, showing hidden signs, but not revealing his appearance.
The emperor was very pleased, and immediately issued an order to select twelve experienced generals from the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War to go to each vassal's fiefdoms and hand over the military commanders of the vassals' palaces.
If there is a rebellion near the fiefdom, the general will lead the army to suppress the rebellion; if there is no army, he will lead the army to station nearby to defend the city.
After leaving the palace, all the vassals and princes shouted "the general situation is over", and they were so sad that they couldn't eat anymore.
But no matter how sad they were, they had to wait for the military power to gather before they could leave the capital.
Compared with the gloomy clouds of other people, Lou Yu and Lou Wei should eat, drink, and even go shopping together.
Just happened to run into Fan Yusheng again.
The young man in green was still by his side, glaring at Lou Wei.
Lou Wei asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
"I'll just stare at you!" The green-clothed boy snorted coldly, "An unbeliever deserves it!"
Lou Wei: "..."
He slowly took out the kaleidoscope from his sleeve and handed it over: "Why don't I let you have a look?"
The green-clothed boy's eyes widened: "Where did you get it?! Isn't the merchant out of stock?"
He couldn't even buy it.
Lou Wei said generously, "Do you want to see it or not?"
"Look!"
Fan Yusheng stared at Lou Yu: "Master Yu will leave Beijing in a few days, and Fan wants to invite him to have tea with him. Would you like to honor him?"
"Okay." Lou Yu nodded in agreement.
The four of them entered the elegant room of the tea house.
Fan Yusheng made the tea himself.
He was originally handsome and extraordinary, and his demeanor was calm and elegant, and the water mist filled him, making him appear more noble and elegant.
"Master Yu, please."
The cups are like jade, and the tea is fragrant.
Lou Yu drank tea leisurely and contentedly, not at all curious about Fan Yusheng's intention of inviting him to drink tea.
After a while, Fan Yusheng suddenly laughed.
He sincerely praised: "Yu Shizi is so calm, Fan feels ashamed."
Lou Yu looked innocent: "Why did Mr. Fan say that?"
"The prince really wants to give up his military power?"
Lou Yu put down the teacup and said seriously: "Young Master Fan, Your Majesty has ordered the twelve generals to go to the fief to hand over the military power. Can there be a lie?"
"That's why Fan admires the prince." Fan Yusheng said leisurely, "I don't know if the prince has any plans before leaving Beijing?"
"What's the plan?"
Fan Yusheng's eyes darkened: "Du Sanlang is now listening to Taoism in Ziyun Temple, and Xie Erlang is now lying in bed with a broken leg. The son is a smart man, you need to know that the Xie and Du families are not sick cats."
These two families must hate Lou Yu deeply.
Lou Yuren is in the capital, they dare not act rashly, but what if he leaves the capital?
But in this world, the road is full of thorns and thorns, and it is not too normal to have an accident on the road.
Lou Yu understood the meaning of Fan Yusheng's words.
He raised the teacup: "I respect Mr. Fan."
Although he didn't know what Fan Yusheng was thinking, Lou Yu still accepted the kindness.
Fan Yusheng smiled even wider: "If there is a chance, I must go to Gyeongju for a visit. It must be very interesting."
"Welcome."
Afterwards, the two stopped talking, and after a few cups of tea, Lou Yu said goodbye and wanted to leave.
After not taking two steps, Fan Yusheng suddenly said behind him: "Outside the Fengbo Pavilion, there is no one to rely on."
Lou Yu was stunned for a while, then turned around and solemnly cupped his hands: "Thank you."
Fan Yusheng shook his fan, smiling lightly: "Today Mutao, tomorrow Qiongyao, I hope Mr. Yu will not forget."
"I will never forget."
Lou Yu returned to the hotel, called Huo Yan to the inner room, and after a moment of silence, he relayed Fan Yusheng's words to him.
Huo Yan was stunned on the spot.
When they met in the market before, Fan Yusheng mentioned where his mother and sister-in-law were buried, but he didn't say it clearly.
Why did you tell Lou Yu today?
Huo Yan's heart was pounding, and he forced himself to calm down again.
He said in a deep voice, "Maybe it's a trap."
Lou Yu looked at him in surprise, it's really impressive to be able to keep calm in this situation.
He said seriously: "Whether it is a trap or not, we are all trapped in the capital now and cannot go to find out. Don't worry, I will send spies from the capital to find out in secret."
Huo Yan shook his head: "No need. It's not easy to train spies. If there is an ambush there, it will definitely lose soldiers and generals."
Lou Yu's heart was suddenly filled with sourness and emotion.
Huo Yan is so considerate of the overall situation, because he really takes Gyeongju to heart.
He heard Huo Yan say: "Don't worry. If the mother and sister-in-law are really buried outside the Fengbo Pavilion, I will pay homage and kowtow on the day they leave Beijing. If they are not there, we will have no loss."
The current situation is complicated, and it is inconvenient for them to act rashly.
If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely apologize at the grave of his mother and sister-in-law.
Ten days later, the emperor finally issued an order to allow all the vassal kings and princes to leave Beijing and return to their fiefs.
With military power in hand, the emperor can sit back and relax.
As for the rebels, the court has its own loyal ministers and good generals to suppress them, and he is not afraid at all.
Only the vassal king who holds military power can make him toss and turn.
Now that a big stone has landed in his heart, the emperor no longer has to worry about it.
Even if he dies, his blood can still stand firm.
In the hotel, all the vassal kings and princes packed their luggage in desperation, planning to leave this place of right and wrong early tomorrow morning.
Feng Erbi asked quietly: "Your Highness, let's go back with such a big fanfare? What if we encounter those vicious bandits on the way?"
"Isn't this better?" Lou Yu laughed.
Feng Erbi: "Huh?"
"Don't think about it," Lou Yu tapped on his forehead, "Just remember, no matter what happens on the road tomorrow, follow me closely and keep silent."
Feng Erbi's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, I will remember."
He knew that His Highness could not be unprepared!
At the same time, Lord Xie and Du Shangshu were plotting in their study.
Since Lou Yu entered Beijing, the two of them have been disturbed, how could they let Lou Yu easily?
Xie Houye said to the leader of the secret guards: "Twenty miles away from Beijing, there is a valley. At that time, Lou Yu's convoy will pass by. He will only have two hundred guards, and he will not have much combat effectiveness. If you pretend to be a bandit, you must let him not die or be maimed." .”
Du Shangshu also said to the leader of the secret guards: "Twenty miles away from Beijing, there is a calabash valley with a narrow road in the middle. When you take advantage of Lou Yu's motorcade passing through the passage, you will disperse his team, and you must teach Lou Yu a lesson." !"
The two families coincided with each other, and both planned to do something in Calabash Valley.
In the early morning of the next day, the gates of the capital city were opened wide in anticipation.
A group of vassal kings and princes left the mansion, and each returned with their guards.
The emperor was merciful and said that the soldiers brought by the vassal kings to Beijing this time do not need to be recruited, they should be the personal guards of the kings.
The kings also have to be grateful to Dade, and praise His Majesty's benevolence and virtue.
Full of grievance and anger, they embarked on a dark and chaotic future.
Lou Yu sat on the carriage and asked Huo Yan: "The Calabash Valley is ahead, are you ready?"
Huo Yan nodded: "It's all ready."
If someone is interested in checking Lou Yu's team, he will find that there is one person missing in the team.
At some point, Zhou Man had disappeared into the ranks of the government soldiers.
Gourd Valley, as the name suggests, is shaped like a lying gourd, with a very narrow road in the middle, which can only be passed by a carriage.
Jiang Yong ordered the government soldiers to line up and pass through the canyon one by one.
On both sides of the canyon, a group of people waited with bated breath.
Coincidentally, in order not to reveal their whereabouts, the two parties were silent and did not know the existence of the other party.
Closer, closer.
Prince Qing's son finally arrived at the entrance of the narrow road. As long as he entered, the carriage could not turn around and escape, and the government soldiers could not turn around to rescue in time.
It's now!
The leaders of both sides stretched out their hands to signal.
But when they stretched halfway, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the front of the canyon, screaming and killing, with a ferocious aura.
They were dressed in rags, held knives and halberds, and looked like wolfs, and went straight to the carriage in the narrow road!
The people on both sides above the valley crouched back again, intending to check the situation first.
Several people rushed into the carriage ferociously and dragged the "pale-faced" Lou Yu out.
The leader pinched Lou Yu's neck and yelled at the government soldiers who came to rescue him: "If you resist me again, kill him!"
Jiang Yong immediately signaled the government soldiers to cease fighting.
He looked panic-stricken: "The strong man has something to say! You can say whatever you want, please don't hurt my master!"
