Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon

Chapter 88 The champion returns to Beijing and is granted marriage by the Holy Spirit (fourth update)

Another half month later.

On this day, the gates of the imperial capital opened wide.

All entry and exit were prohibited, the streets were cleared, and the people were notified as if they were welcoming the army back to Beijing.

The endless Great Yan army is like a long dragon, with no end as far as the eye can see.

The champion was in the center of the army, sitting on a tall dragon-scaled horse, his flag fluttering in the wind, surrounded by phalanxes.

At the same time, the major Wuhou and their sons also came back, but they were stripped of their armor, tied up with five flowers, and their dantian was locked with forbidden yuan stones.

All of them looked gloomy and could not raise their heads.

The third prince Lu Guangyao was also among them, but he took off his shirt, revealing his large muscles and burly body. His back was covered with thorns, trying to imitate his old friend - bearing thorns to apologize.

Next to him was an old man with long arms, who closed his eyes to protect him.

"He is another prince who rebelled, and the emperor doesn't care about it?"

"With this identity, he went to rebel. The thoughts of these generals are really unpredictable."

The people who opened their doors and windows pointed at these bound sins from time to time.

However, he had a very good attitude towards the champion, and he could hear a lot of compliments, and from time to time, girls would give him affectionate looks.

The defenders who greeted him at the top of the city bowed their heads in respect and performed military salutes when they saw the champion. It was a kind of respect from the bottom of their hearts.

The commanders of the major military camps were also responsible for going out to greet them. The imperial eunuch stood aside, holding an imperial edict:

"I am ill in bed. I regret that I cannot greet him in person. The champion has made extraordinary contributions and the cabinet will discuss the matter of reward. General, there is no need to worry."

"In the end, I will obey the decree. Long live my emperor. Long live my emperor."

The champion Hou Dabai accepted the order.

This can be regarded as the Holy Emperor's recognition of his great achievements, and it is also a kind of expression and comfort to inform the armies.

Faced with the welcome of the people and the admiration of many soldiers, he himself was not happy at all.

He had experienced this kind of experience more than ten years ago.

same.

At that time, I naively thought that becoming a marquis was just the beginning.

The young man is heroic, high-spirited, arrogant and arrogant.

Then he left the battlefield for ten years, and his edges were worn away by time.

As a warrior and a general, leaving the battlefield is tantamount to ruining your life and breaking your wings.

He didn't know about the others.

He, the champion, is already noble enough and does not need to care about the title. He just wants to continue to gallop on the battlefield, defeat the enemy and serve the country during his lifetime. He is proud of this.

So he was really scared to leave the battlefield again.

After returning to Beijing, if the Holy Emperor stripped him of his military power again.

Then this will be his last time on the battlefield.

Therefore, the daughter must marry the sixth prince. Only in this way can he have the opportunity to continue to fight on the battlefield. It is also a way to protect his daughter. If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it.

While the champion was thinking, the army unknowingly entered the imperial city.

Hundreds of thousands of people have dispersed, and all the principal criminals are temporarily imprisoned in the prison, waiting for the cabinet's decision. Not even the third prince, not even the long-armed old man, can go against this decision.

Long-arm Laokui and Huo Qing followed the eunuch to Shengming Palace to attend the court meeting.

The princes in the court have been waiting for a long time. Many pairs of eyes were on the champion, with admiration, amusement, pity, and indifference.
  "Congratulations to the champion Hou Ping for his return, it's a great achievement!"

"General Huo has unparalleled martial arts skills and a godlike military skills. He is worthy of being the number one prince in my country."

"The Champion Marquis and the Marquis Wu An can be said to be my great Yan twins."

The court was filled with compliments.

When faced with compliments, Huo Qing was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He lowered his head with an expressionless expression, but raised his head and said respectfully:
  "Everyone is praising you, the reason why the last general was able to defeat the enemy is thanks to the old master of the Chiyang Mountain Sect. If it weren't for him, it would never have been so easy. The other three princes don't seem to have intended to rebel, but were coerced by the generals."

In the first seat, Imperial Master Yuan Xuangang said: "The cabinet will investigate this matter, General Huo, don't worry."

"It is true that the champion has worked hard and achieved great results. This reward is worthy of discussion."

As soon as these words came out, the court became noisy.

"The Champion Marquis was already a Marquis more than ten years ago. How about going a step further and becoming a King?"

"This matter is of great importance, and we need to ask the Holy Spirit for instructions."

Someone was trying to kill him, and Huo Qing suddenly heard the intentions of many people.

He deliberately took out King Feng and told him that he wanted to kill him.

Imperial Master Yuan Xuangang smiled slightly: "General Huo, whatever rewards you want, the Holy Spirit has opened the Golden Gate, and you can have anything."

Huo Qing said loudly: "The general has already thought about the reward."

"The general has always wanted the dog girl to marry into the royal family and gain even more wealth. Why not let the Holy One grant a marriage so that the general can fulfill his wish."

When this statement came out, it was unexpected by many people, but at the same time it was reasonable.

They all felt that the champion was very different from ten years ago.

The youthful energy of the past is gone and he has become much calmer.

Ask for a marriage and marry into the royal family.

King Zhenbei did the same thing at the beginning.

Isn't this a way to show weakness and show favor to the royal family? It is also the safest way.

Married to the royal family, the son he gave birth to was also the grandson of the emperor, and his surname was also Lu.

The words of the champion also caught Wang Hefu's attention. He looked at the champion with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Which prince do you want your daughter to marry?" Yuan Xuangang asked curiously.

"Sixth Prince."

Huo Qing said with great energy without any hesitation.

"The Sixth Prince" "It's actually the Sixth Prince."

"Isn't the daughter of the Huo family unwilling? It's even spreading the news."

Listening to the voices in the court, the champion's expression kept changing, as if he knew something.

The sixth prince is selected.

Some people understand that the champion is unwilling to participate in the matter of seizing the legitimate son.

Some people wonder why he doesn't fight for it given his current status as the First Marquis of Great Yan.

Emperor Master Yuan Xuangang was not surprised when he learned about this candidate. He smiled lightly and said: "The sixth prince is banned in the palace. If he gets married, your daughter will probably run away to the harem every day. Has the champion thought about it?"

"Think about it."

Huo Qing nodded slowly.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to report it to your Majesty and write down the imperial edict. But before that, the Champion Marquis will have to explain it clearly to your lady. When the time comes, it will be bad if something goes wrong if the Holy Majesty grants you the marriage."

Yuan Xuangang reminded.

"In the end, she will change her mind." Huo Qing said with cupped hands.

"In addition, there are many rewards, which will be distributed together."

"The general knows, does the Holy Master have any other revelations?"

"It's gone for now."

Hearing this, Huo Qing finally felt happy in his heart.

The Holy One did not relieve him of his military power!

He still has a chance to go to war.

After the next court.

Before leaving, many ministers looked at Wang Hefu with smiles on their faces: "Master Wang is so lucky to be married to the most dazzling general in the dynasty, the champion. Congratulations in advance. Don't forget me when the wine is served. wait."

"sure."

Wang Hefu smiled softly.

Nanya School Ground.

Huo Hongling was practicing martial arts in the school grounds as usual until a tall figure came outside the gate.

"I've met the champion."

"I've met the champion."

The sergeants at the door all saluted respectfully.

When Huo Hongling heard this, she felt happy, because her father was back, and she didn't expect them to find the school grounds.

As soon as she turned around, she found that her father's face was not very good, which made her smile stagnant.

"come over."

Seeing his daughter, Huo Qing did not show any good expression, but ordered expressionlessly.

"Father."

Huo Hongling's expression changed, and she immediately thought of the reason why her father was angry.

It must be because she refused the marriage arranged by him.

The marriage that was supposed to take place did not end, and rumors spread in the imperial city.

The father and daughter came to a camp where sword skills were trained.

The atmosphere was horribly dull.

Huo Hongling swore that she had never seen such an expression on her father's face in her life.

"Why don't you get married?"

Huo Qing said lightly.

"My daughter feels that the sixth prince is not suitable."

Huo Hongling bit her lip and said.

"My daughter knows that her father is afraid that his great achievements will shock the master and make him jealous, but why should he choose Lu Mingyuan? There are many princes who are better than him, no matter which one is better than him? If he chooses the second prince and the eighth prince, it can be different. Can they achieve the same goal? Moreover, their cultivation levels are not low."

"Why did my father give up the fight for the right to inherit and choose a sixth prince who has no right to inherit? The eighth prince studied in a Confucian temple and has no military power or family support behind him. Aren't our Huo family the best candidates? If we send someone to lobby After all, won’t the Huo family be able to take a step further in the future?”

Huo Qing looked deeply and saw the shadow of his young self in Huo Hongling's body.

They are equally competitive and arrogant.

She is only eighteen years old and has a lot to go through.

Huo Qing said: "Are you very optimistic about the Eighth Prince?"

Huo Hongling shook his head: "I just think that the eighth prince is better than the sixth prince. The Huo family should not give up this opportunity. The reason why my father was hidden more than ten years ago was precisely because he had no backer. The eighth prince is a good candidate and a Lisheng. Disciple, if your daughter marries the sixth prince, but your father’s current situation has not changed, and you cannot save the Huo family, then how can you do it?”

No matter how helpless you are, you have to think of other ways.

For the Huo family, in times of crisis, it wasn't that she couldn't marry, but she had to make the marriage valuable.

After attaching herself to the royal family, she wanted the Huo family to go further.

"Why do you think you won't lose? Even if you are the eighth prince, you may not be able to win." Huo Qing asked.

"That's better than the Sixth Prince."

Huo Qing sighed and said: "The best way not to lose is not to gamble. Your father has already learned this ten years ago. I am a gambling sage. I don't trust the people I trust, and I don't trust the people I employ. That's why I can kill the enemy and expand my territory with confidence." What was the final result?”

At this moment, Huo Hongling finally understood her father's true thoughts: "Is this the reason why my father gave up the fight for the legitimate son?"

"But if we give up, won't the Huo family decline quickly?"

Huo Qing patiently warned: "Stability is the most important thing. My father's current wish is just to be able to go to the battlefield for one more day. It is not about whether the Huo family can go further. The wealth of the Huo family should be fought for by the descendants of the Huo family with their own strength. It should not be Relying on the favor of the king."

"I have been teaching you martial arts since you were a child, and you should not show your edge. Now it seems that you haven't listened much."
