Chapter 153 Do You Really Think the Descendants of the Dongchang Marquisate Have No Blood? (Monthly Vote Requested!!!)
"Mom, who is in charge of the military affairs at home?" Qin Hao asked.
Qin Liu was shocked: "Brother Hao, what are you going to do? Don't do anything random. After all, King Yong has a great hope of inheriting the throne."
Qin Hao sneered in his heart. When King Yong was about to take the throne, he didn't know how to behave with his tail between his legs. With this kind of virtue, he was later killed by King Yan and it was his own fault.
"My mother thinks that once King Yong succeeds to the throne and he behaves so perversely, what will happen to King Yan in the end?"
Mrs. Qin Liu almost screamed, she held back and covered her mouth, looked at Qin Hao in shock, and said with trembling lips: "What do you mean?"
"Don't worry, mother. I have my own plans. The most important thing now is to rescue my father." Qin Hao reassured.
Qin Liushi hesitated again and again, and forced herself to calm down and called the nanny beside her: "Go and call Guard Cui."
"promise."
The candles in the room were a little dim, reflecting Qin Liu's mood. She knew that this matter would definitely not be trivial.
Not long after, grandma led a burly old man and pushed the door in.
"Cui Zhi met Madam and Young Master."
"No gift."
Mrs. Qin Liu waved her hand to grandma: "You go down first, hold the door and don't let anyone get close."
"promise."
After grandma left, Qin Hao looked at Cui Zhi and found that his hair was already graying and he should be around forty-five years old. Ancient people often looked older than their actual age.
Qin Hao stood up and walked to Cui Zhi and asked loudly.
"Guard Cui, have you ever been on the battlefield?"
Cui Zhi said with an expressionless expression, "I've done it three times."
"How long have you been working as an errand in Dongchang Hou Mansion?" Qin Hao asked again.
Cui Zhi remained expressionless: "Twenty-three years."
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
As soon as Qin Hao said these words, Cui Zhi's eyelids moved: "Killed."
"Can you still use the knife?"
Cui Zhi knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands in fists and raised his head above his head: "The lives of Cui Zhi's family are all given by the old marquis, and they only depend on the young master's orders."
Qin Hao helped him up and said loudly: "Okay, go and gather the soldiers at home, don't let the news leak out."
"No!" Cui Zhi bowed and retreated.
Mrs. Qin Liu pulled the handkerchief and almost tore it off: "Is there no room for maneuver at all?"
Qin Hao shook his head slightly, and then said to Qin Liu: "Please trouble my mother to send someone to Prince Yong's Mansion, and tell her that our family has agreed to marry the Lord of Jiacheng County, and invite Princess Yong to come and talk to her."
Looking at her son's resolute face, Mrs. Qin Liu couldn't help but think of the old Marquis, and sighed: "That's all, just listen to you."
With that said, he called the nanny in and asked her to go to Prince Yong's Mansion to deliver the message.
Before leaving, Qin Hao warned: "If the other party doesn't come, just say that if you can't see the Marquis today, you won't be able to sleep peacefully in the house for a moment."
"promise."
Mammy came to Prince Yong's Mansion in a carriage.
At this time, in Prince Yong's palace, Lord Jiacheng looked at Princess Yong with some worry: "Mother, does this trick really work? What if the other side still doesn't agree?"
Princess Yong raised her chin proudly: "Hmph, don't forget, your father is about to succeed to the throne, and in the future he will be an official family, a small Dongchang Marquis Mansion. As long as the marriage decree goes through, they will dare to resist it. ?”
The Lord of Jiacheng County thought the same thing. He recalled Qin Hao's majestic appearance on the polo field and couldn't help but feel his cheeks getting slightly hot.
Princess Yong laughed and scolded: "Now you know how embarrassed you are? Who was the one who was clamoring to marry before?"
"Mother~~~" Jiacheng County Lord coquettishly acted coquettishly.
While she was talking, the servant next to Princess Yong came and whispered in her ear.
Princess Yong waved her hand: "Go and bring the person."
After saying that, he said to the head of Jiacheng County: "Look, isn't this done?"
The Lord of Jiacheng County stood up in surprise: "Mother, you mean, he agreed?"
Princess Yong nodded proudly: "Do they dare to agree?"
The nanny next to Qin Liushi repeated what Qin Liushi had told her.
Princess Yong frowned slightly: "It's getting late now, do we have to discuss it now?"
Mammy remembered Qin Hao's explanation, so she bowed and said, "Princess Yong, please forgive me. Madam said that if we don't see the Marquis tonight, we won't be able to sleep peacefully for a moment."
The Lord of Jiacheng County quickly tugged on Princess Yong's sleeve, but she was unwilling to wait any longer.
Seeing this, Princess Yong had no choice but to wave her hand: "That's it, go prepare the car."
Not long after, Princess Yong got on the carriage and headed to Dongchang Hou Mansion. The Lord of Jiacheng County also clamored to come with her. Princess Yong had given birth to several sons, but she only had one precious daughter. She was so troubled that she had no choice but to take her with her. .
All the way to the Dongchang Hou Mansion, Princess Yong didn't think anything was wrong. She took a group of servants and a dozen guards and entered the Dongchang Hou Mansion, while the others were waiting outside.
Just as Princess Yong and her entourage entered the backyard, Qin Hao had already received the news and said to Cui Zhi beside him: "Guard all exits, don't let anyone escape."
"No." Cui Zhi left with a big stride.
Qin Hao also came to Qin Liu's room. At this time, Princess Yong and the Lord of Jiacheng County had already arrived.
Princess Yong said to the Qin Liu family with a victor's attitude: "Oh, tell me, I don't know how people do things now. Our prince invited the marquis to come over and reminisce about old times. After drinking some wine, we made arrangements. I slept in the house, but it ended up causing such a big misunderstanding, damn it.”
Qin Liu's face flashed with anger. Inviting people to drink in broad daylight, but not sending them back when they are drunk? This is just a lie to fool a three-year-old child.
"Servants always do things inappropriately. I just don't know if my Marquis is better now? When can he go home?" Qin Liu forced a smile.
Princess Yong turned her eyes to Qin Hao. Seeing that he had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes and a handsome appearance, she couldn't help but secretly think that her daughter had good taste.
"I just heard from the servants in the mansion that this time we were invited to the mansion to discuss the marriage between the young Marquis and my Jiacheng County Lady?"
Princess Yong had an expression of winning.
Jiacheng County Lady blushed when she heard this and dared not look at Qin Hao again.
Qin Liu was about to speak when there was a sudden noise outside the door. What frightened Princess Yong even more was that there seemed to be the sound of weapons hitting each other.
Princess Yong hurried to the door and was stunned. She saw that all the servants she brought were tied up, and the guards were disarmed. They were staggering with a group of strange strong men holding knives on their necks. There were two pools of blood on the ground.
"You are so bold, are you going to rebel?" Princess Yong was not stupid. She realized that the reason they came to the mansion to discuss the marriage was to take them as hostages in exchange for Qin Junye.
Qin Hao sneered, "You are the ones who want to rebel. My father is a great marquis, but just because he did not agree to the marriage, you, the Yong Palace, detained him. You are the ones who are bold!"
"You, you are talking nonsense. You just invited my prince and marquis to have some wine. How can you detain him?" Princess Yong tried to argue.
Qin Hao said disdainfully: "So, my family also invited Princess Yong and Princess Jiacheng to our home as guests. Drinking a few more cups is also in line with common sense, right?"
Princess Yong was choked and speechless. She turned her eyes to Qin Liu and threatened: "Liu, my prince is about to inherit the throne. Don't make a mistake!"
Qin Liu's heart trembled, and she looked at her son and gritted her teeth and said: "For my marquis, I'm sorry."
"Okay, very good." Princess Yong stared at Qin Liu with a cold look.
"You dare not mess around, I want to see who can outlast who!"
Princess Yong was not completely impulsive, but it involved the face of the Yong Palace. If she couldn't even deal with a declining Dongchang Marquisate, how could she make the nobles in Bianjing City return to their hearts?
Qin Liu couldn't help but panic when she heard this, but she heard Qin Hao sneer at the side: "Princess, we dare not do anything reckless, but the Princess Jiacheng is waiting to be married. If she stays in the mansion overnight, it may damage her reputation, right?"
"You dare!" Princess Yong was really panicked and pulled the Princess Jiacheng behind her.
The Princess Jiacheng also reacted at this time and looked at Qin Hao in horror. The young man in front of her, who usually looked gentle and elegant and made her think about him day and night, actually made her feel scared at this moment.
"My father's life and death are still unknown, why should I not dare?" Qin Hao snorted coldly.
Princess Yong gritted her teeth and explained: "The Marquis is fine in my house. We just wanted to become relatives with the Marquis of Dongchang before, so how could we hurt the Marquis?"
"No evidence, I want my father to return safely tonight. If the princess wants to return to the Prince of Yong's Mansion with Jiacheng County Lady unharmed, send your father back as soon as possible, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Qin Hao stared at the other party with a stern look.
Seeing that the situation had gotten out of control, the Prince of Yong's Mansion could only compromise for the sake of their daughter's reputation.
"Call Nanny Wang."
Qin Hao gave Cui Zhi a look, and Cui Zhi shouted: "Who is Nanny Wang?"
An old woman raised her hand tremblingly and was taken into the room by Cui Zhi.
Princess Yong said to her: "Go back to the palace and send the Marquis back."
Nanny Wang took the order and was taken out by Cui Zhi again.
Outside the gate of the Dongchang Marquis's Mansion, the waiting guards were standing by the carriage. They didn't know what was happening in the mansion at this time, and they couldn't help but feel a little strange when they saw Nanny Wang coming out alone.
When Nanny Wang trembled and told the situation again, the guards were shocked.
"Is the man in the Dongchang Marquis's Mansion crazy?"
Nanny Wang didn't dare to delay and told them: "You stay here, I will go back to the mansion to report to the prince."
The horseshoes stepped on the bluestone slabs, making a crisp sound, which was particularly harsh at night.
Prince Yong's Mansion.
Nanny Wang knelt on the ground and told the situation in detail in the Dongchang Marquis's Mansion.
Prince Yong angrily grabbed a tea bowl and threw it on the ground: "How dare you bully me!"
Nanny Wang trembled and lay on the ground, not daring to move.
Prince Yong stood up and shouted, "Come on, gather the troops and destroy the Marquis of Dongchang's mansion!"
A man dressed as a scholar beside him hurriedly stopped him, "Your Highness, if we mobilize troops in the middle of the night and Prince Yan catches us and charges us with treason, the throne we have obtained may fall into the hands of others. A little impatience will ruin a big plan!"
Prince Yong regained his senses, but he was still angry: "What should I do now? If I bow my head, who in the city of Bianjing will obey me?"
The scholar persuaded: "Your Highness, why bother about these gains and losses? When you inherit the throne, who dares to disobey the imperial edict?"
Prince Yong thought it made sense. He was used to thinking about problems with the mindset of a prince, but forgot that once he ascended the throne, he would no longer be a prince, but the emperor. Who dares not to obey his words?
"Okay, then let this family live a few more days. When I ascend the throne, the Dongchang Marquis's mansion will be in turmoil!"
Then King Yong personally led a group of people to the Dongchang Hou Mansion. At this time, all the doors of the Dongchang Hou Mansion were closed. There were palace soldiers handles at the door, with bows full of strings and full of murderous intent. These were all left by the old marquis. Although the team members are not young, their fighting ability is not weak at all.
Outside Dongchang Hou's Mansion, King Yong glared at Dongchang Hou Qin Junye with cold eyes, and said coldly: "The Marquis is so majestic. I just invited you to have a drink, but you let people detain my wife!"
Qin Junye also complained secretly. He did not expect that things would turn out like this. He was just a playboy. Where had he seen such a battle?
At this time, the gate of the Hou Mansion opened, and Qin Hao led a group of soldiers out.
King Yong was furious: "Why don't you release him quickly?"
Seeing Qin Junye come back unscathed, Qin Hao whispered to Cui Zhi unhurriedly.
"Why is the prince like this? Mother just invited the princess to come to the house for a chat. The princess had some wine and was a little drunk, so she bothered the prince to pick her up in person."
King Yong was so choked by these words that he almost vomited blood. Wasn't this what he used to fool the Dongchang Hou Mansion.
"Shuzi, do you know the consequences of offending this king?" King Yong said through gritted teeth.
Qin Hao calmly helped Qin Junye over and said word by word: "Your Majesty, you know that when a man is angry, his blood will be splashed five times. Back then, our ancestors followed Emperor Taizu in the north and south, and were granted the title of Marquis. The country is in peace, has the prince really lost the blood of his ancestors after a long period of peace in the Dongchang Hou Mansion?"
"You..." King Yong was momentarily frightened by Qin Hao's momentum and was speechless.
Qin Junye originally complained about his son and shouldn't have made the matter such a big deal. When he heard this, he straightened his chest. Although he was a playboy, it was about the honor of his ancestors and he must not show his timidity in front of others.
At this time, Princess Yong and her party were all sent out. Except for a few unlucky guards who reacted quickly and had their arms chopped off, the rest were just a little frightened.
Before leaving, King Yong gave Qin Hao a fierce look: "Okay, let's settle this account slowly!"
Qin Hao heard this and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's best not to invite my father to drink in the future. He doesn't drink well. If he is kept in the palace again, I will have no choice but to bring my father back in person!"
King Yong was so angry that his eyes were red. He flicked his sleeves and turned around to get into the carriage.
Cui Zhi looked at Qin Hao, who was facing the hard steel king, and couldn't help but think of the old marquis in his mind, and thought to himself: It looks like it, it looks so similar!
Upon seeing this, all the guards looked at Qin Hao with longing. Before, they only recognized the young marquis in terms of status, but now they recognized his ability. In the army, the weak will eat the strong, and a general will. There are many examples of incompetence and exhaustion of the three armies. Only the truly strong can be qualified to make these veterans willingly sacrifice their lives for them.
Mrs. Qin Liu waited for a long time and finally saw her husband coming back safely. She couldn't help but pounced on him: "Master Hou."
Qin Junye also felt a little emotional. Although he slept among flowers and willows, he also knew that in this family, only his first wife cared about him the most.
But after his mood calmed down, Qin Junye still couldn't help but complain.
"You are too brave. You dare to detain the princess and the head of Jiacheng County. Do you know that King Yong will inherit the throne in the future!"
Qin Hao asked, "What do you think father should do? Just surrender and let me marry the Lord of Jiacheng County?"
Qin Junye was speechless for a moment, then he calmed down and said, "What's wrong with the Lord of Jiacheng County? He has a distinguished status and may become a princess in the future."
Qin Hao said lightly: "So, I can't marry her even more. Which of my consorts has father seen who made great achievements in the court?"
This confused Qin Junye. Yes, the consort was a mascot in the Song Dynasty. If he married the princess, Qin Hao's future would be over.
"well."
Everything had happened, and even if Qin Junye had a thousand words, he could only turn into a sigh.
In the next few days, Qin Junye rarely went out to fool around. No, to be precise, he stayed at the Hou Mansion every day except for going to order a meal. He was probably afraid that King Yong would invite him to "drink" again.
Qin Hao didn't bother to persuade him that it would be better to stay at home instead of wandering around. Qin Liu also supported this. No wife wanted her husband to hang out in those Qin Lou Chu Pavilions all day long.
What surprised Qin Hao was that since this incident, the nobles who wanted to marry him have disappeared, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Of course, there are exceptions, and that is Fuchang Bo's Mansion, which also made the relationship between Concubine Rong and King Yong very bad.
It is said that King Yong also sent people to give a serious warning to Uncle Fu Chang, who was so frightened that Uncle Fu Chang fell into a serious illness.
When Concubine Rong learned about the situation, she was furious: You haven't even ascended the throne, but you don't take her as Concubine Rong seriously. If you gain power in the future, where will she be?
King Yan was very excited after hearing about the troubles caused by King Yong. Originally, his chance of winning was already very small, but now King Yong jumps out on his own, so don't blame him.
However, what made King Yan despair was that the memorial he asked him to write did not make any waves. Needless to say, it must have been intercepted by several husbands.
The scholar-bureaucrats headed by Han Daxianggong finally made the official family make up their minds and appoint King Yong as the crown prince. If the official family changes their mind because of this incident, things will be in trouble. The official family's health is getting worse day by day, I'm afraid. It won't last long.
For the sake of political stability, such trivial matters can be ignored.
Prince Yan knew Prince Yong's character very well. Once he ascended the throne, he would be destroyed. In desperation, Prince Yan also began to go crazy and conceived a bold plan.
At this time, Qin Hao's vacation was completely over and he started to work officially. He had just reported to the Privy Council that day, but was called to a secret room.
Qin Hao was shocked when he saw the person sitting in the room. It turned out to be the emperor.
The emperor sat on the seat and said slowly: "You are so brave!"
Han Da Xianggong, who was standing by, quickly gave Qin Hao a look when he heard this. He still admired Qin Hao's knowledge.
