After returning to the East Palace, Li Chengqian went to see Li Shimin, and told her that he had met Begonia in Ganye Temple and did something embarrassing to her.

Since Li Chengqian has tarnished Begonia's innocence, he naturally wants to marry her home, so Li Shimin has issued two holy decrees in a row, the first holy decree is to release Hou Junji, and the second holy decree is to give marriage.

Li Chengqian was so happy, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he didn't have to deliberately plead, Li Shimin took the initiative to release Hou Junji.

In fact, the reason why Li Shimin imprisoned Hou Junji was to teach him a lesson and let him have a long memory, and now the goal has been achieved, it just so happens that Li Chengqian is going to marry someone else's daughter, everyone is in-law, and it is not appropriate to lock Hou Junji again, so it is better to release him by pushing the boat down the river.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, Hou Junji was released from prison, and was imprisoned for so long, Hou Junji's cheeks were thin, and it was obvious that his life in prison was very difficult.

After the two met in the hall, the prince retreated left and right, and asked Helan Chushi to lead people to martial law to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

In the hall, the two sat opposite each other, and the prince smiled and said, "Lord Taishan has suffered. ”

"Your Highness is serious." Hou Junji said seriously, "If a minister makes a mistake, he should be punished." ”

The prince waved his hand and smiled lightly: "Lord Taishan, if you are perfunctory like this, Gu thinks there is no need for us to talk about it anymore." ”

Hou Junji's eyebrows moved, and he asked, "What does Your Highness want to say?" ”

The prince suddenly smiled, and said solemnly: "Lord Taishan, Lone needs your help, Lone wants to keep the position of the prince, so Lone will save you." ”

Hou Junji squinted, although he had already guessed that his release from prison this time was not so simple, but when he heard the prince's words with his own ears, his heart was still shocked, the prince was forcing him to stand in line.

Hou Junji had also helped the prince before, but it was not considered to be in line, and because of that incident, he was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department by Li Shimin, and he thought about it in prison for half a year before he knew why he was locked up, because he encountered Li Shimin's taboo, so he definitely did not dare to agree to the prince's request easily.

Hou Junji arched his hand and said: "Your Highness saved the ministers from prison, the ministers are grateful, but the ministers themselves are difficult to protect themselves at the moment, what can they do to help Your Highness, Your Highness should ask for another master." ”

"Don't be too busy saying no." The prince seemed to have expected him to answer like this, and said slowly, "Lord Taishan should know that your official title will recover sooner or later, your prestige in the court is also very comparable, Lone knows what Lord Taishan is afraid of, he is afraid of his father, Lord Taishan rest assured, Lone just needs you to support Lone in secret, never let outsiders know, on the bright side, we are Weng son-in-law, even if we get closer, no one will doubt it, as for the return, Lord Taishan, your title and official position have reached the limit, but if Lord Taishan can help Lone ascend to the throne, Lone promises to let Lord Taishan tear the earth and seal the king! ”

Hou Junji was shocked when he heard this, tearing the soil and sealing the king, what kind of concept is that, it is basically the country of China, and he controls all the military and political affairs and life and death powers in the fiefdom, that is the emperor of the soil, this temptation is impossible for Hou Junji to resist at all.

Hou Junji weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and soon made a decision, his eyes narrowed, and he nodded: "Okay, since His Royal Highness wants to invite him so kindly, how dare Hou disobey." ”

Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard this, and said happily: "Not only that, but when he is lonely, he will also seal Haitang as the queen, and the mother will be the world. ”

Hou Junji secretly hid the excitement in his heart, and arched his hand: "Thank you Your Highness for your holy grace, Hou Junji will definitely do his best to help His Highness win the throne." ”

"For the time being, don't be reckless." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "My father has been quite dissatisfied with Gu recently, it is said that he has the heart of abolishing the reserve, Gu can't let his father catch the handle now, so try to make as little trouble as possible, Lord Taishan will stay at ease when he returns to the house, waiting for reinstatement, if there is something that needs to be used by Lord Taishan, he will definitely send someone to inform him." ”

"Yes." Hou Junji arched his hand and said, "The marriage between His Highness and the little girl ......"

"It's set on the tenth day of the fifth month, and it should be sooner rather than later at this time, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

On the tenth day of the fifth month, the prince got married, married Hou Junji's daughter Haitang, Chang'an City was very lively, at the same time, Li Hao's Hou Mansion was also very lively, because today was also Li Hao's wedding, marrying Li Ping, and the two marriages met together.

It stands to reason that when Li Hao marries the main house, there should be a lot of people from the court who come to eat the wedding wine, but none of the court bosses came, because they were going to eat the prince's wedding wine, and even Li Jicheng and Qin Qiong went to the prince's wedding.

However, they sent their respective sons to attend Li Hao's wedding banquet with generous gifts, and at the same time brought a letter to Li Hao, asking Li Hao for forgiveness, in fact, they also wanted to come to Li Hao's wedding, but they wanted to avoid suspicion, so they could only do so.

Li Hao can completely understand, and even agrees with their approach very much, in order to make a big deal, you can't stick to such a small section, just go to the prince's wedding, it doesn't matter, anyway, just send a generous gift.

In order to forgive Li Hao, the three of them gave a very thick gift this time, especially Cheng Biting Jin, Cheng Biting Jin is rich now, so rich, Li Hao sent someone to count it, and the gift given by Guangcheng Biting Jin is worth more than 20,000 yuan, which is estimated to have broken the highest record of Datang's gift-giving.

There is also a special person who came to Li Hao's wedding banquet today, that is Li Zhi, the king of Jin, Li Zhi is Li Chengqian's younger brother, it stands to reason that Li Zhi should go to his imperial brother's wedding, but Li Zhi didn't go, he had to go to Lantian to attend Li Hao's wedding.

Li Hao personally opened the middle door to greet Li Zhi, Li Zhi swaggered into the Hou Mansion, and then Li Hao smiled and stretched out his hand in front of Li Zhi, rubbed his index finger and thumb quickly, and raised his eyebrows again and again: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is here, and his ministers are infinitely glorious." ”

Li Zhi was too familiar with Li Hao's action, and immediately said loudly: "Come on, take a pen and paper!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Li Hao hurriedly raised his hand to stop the person who was about to take the pen and paper, looked at Li Zhi in surprise, and asked, "Your Highness, why are you taking the pen and paper?" ”

"Write an IOU?" Li Zhi looked like a matter of course.

Li Hao's face is ugly, as if he has eaten, is this product addicted to writing an IOU? He laughed dryly twice to ease the embarrassment, raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, today is my big day. ”

"I ...... This king knows. Li Zhi looked at him with wide eyes and said, "I'...... Didn't this king come to congratulate you, do you know that today is also the day of the royal brother's great joy, hehe, this king didn't even go to the royal brother's wedding banquet, and specially came to congratulate you, are you moved? After he finished speaking, he smiled there without a skinny face, waiting for Li Hao to say that he was moved.

Li Hao shook his head: "Don't dare to move." ”

Li Zhi was a little aggrieved when he heard this, and asked, "What's wrong with Mr.?" Why not be impressed? ”

"Where's the gift money?" Li Hao rubbed his fingers again, glared and shouted, "Come and congratulate you for a gift!" ”

Li Zhi scratched his head in embarrassment: "This king left in a hurry and forgot to bring it, so this king wants to write an IOU to you." ”

Li Hao patted his head: "Why don't Your Highness think about it, let's go back to the prince's wedding." ”

Li Zhi......

Li Zhi finally stayed with a dead face, and Li Hao didn't really want to drive him away, but Li Hao was very disappointed with Li Zhi's behavior of not bringing gift money, not that Li Hao really cared about Li Zhi's gift money, but Li Hao was very disappointed in his attitude, as far as Li Zhi's attitude towards the world, what kind of interpersonal relationship would there be, it would not be too much, if he wanted to compete for the position of the prince in the future, except for Li Hao, who else would help him, the answer was no, not one, sad, not sad at all, who made him not come.

Disappointment is disappointment, but Li Hao knows that this is the reason why he likes Li Zhi, Li Zhi is true temperament, not hypocritical, not fake, such a person is actually not suitable to be an emperor.

But Li Hao has strictly considered that among the princes, the other princes have great shortcomings, but Li Zhi does not, he can be called white and flawless, although his temperament is not very suitable, but this is nothing, as long as he assists from the side, I believe that Li Zhi can become a good emperor.

The Hou Mansion set up a flowing water seat again, this time the pomp was bigger than the last time, more than 100 tables were directly placed, and the people from the nearby villages were invited over, due to the lack of space, the front yard and the two side courtyards of the Hou Mansion were occupied, but the middle courtyard did not allow any outsiders to enter, and the special forces and Xuanjia soldiers were all sent to stand guard to prevent anyone from mixing into the middle courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

It is precisely because the special forces have been sent out that Wu Meiniang can finally come out freely to breathe, usually even if she comes out to walk, there are always special forces behind her, she is about to collapse, she feels like she is in prison, the whole person is depressed, because of this, she secretly resents Li Hao in her heart, Li Hao was commensurate with her brother and sister at the beginning, and now she is treated like this when she goes to his house, which is worse than a prisoner.

Wu Meiniang was walking in the courtyard, just about to cross a courtyard gate, and suddenly heard someone outside the courtyard gate talking: "Haha, while the poet maniac is busy getting married now, this king wants to go to his bathhouse to take a dip, to say that the poetry madness is stingy, this king begged several times, he refused to take this king to his bathhouse to take a bath......"

As soon as Wu Meiniang heard this voice, she knew who it was, it must be His Royal Highness the King of Jin, she had lived in the house for a long time, and had been secretly observing for a long time, the relationship between the King of Jin and Li Hao was extraordinary, she was an extremely smart person, she knew that Li Hao was also a smart person, a person as smart as Li Hao could not do stupid things, for example, offending the prince was a stupid thing, such as giving up the prince and the king of Wei, but getting closer to the king of Jin, this is a stupid thing.

Through this series of events, Wu Meiniang knew the truth, Li Hao wanted to support King Jin.

It seems impossible to support the King of Jin, after all, the King of Jin has no foundation, and Li Hao's foundation is too shallow, but Wu Meiniang has been in the Hou Mansion for so long, and she has quietly realized a truth, the position of the crown prince is given by the emperor, although the support of the minister can influence the emperor's decision, but not all the time can affect the emperor's decision. In her opinion, Li Hao, such a smart person, must have thought of a way to let King Jin win the throne, otherwise how dare he offend the prince to death.

If Li Hao could know what Wu Meiniang was thinking, he would probably kill her desperately, because this woman was too smart, a little scary.

And since Wu Meiniang already knew that King Jin had a great chance to ascend to the throne in the future, how could she let go of King Jin, today, the opportunity has finally come.
