Chapter 34 Mediation
Impressively written on the wall is "paying debts and repaying money is justified", and on the other side of the gate is written in large characters, "resolutely oppose selling children to pay off debts".

"Huo Qiqi, this old man will never end with you." Yao Shangshu raised his voice angrily.

He was very emotional, but Yao Shangshu was not a child of three or two years old. When he got on the sedan chair, he calmed down.

He really can't go to Duke Hu's mansion to make a fuss about this matter, not to mention that Duke Hu is still staying at home in the name of recuperating.If he went there, it is estimated that the "sickness" of the National Defense Association would be even worse. At that time, he would not be able to speak clearly even if his mouth was covered all over.Secondly, the protector of the country protects the weak, usually the old guy can say three points without reason, not to mention, this time it is really the fault of the Yao family.

It is even worse to file a complaint in front of the emperor.The son is not the fault of his father, and the child gambles. Although there is no clear regulation in the court that gambling is not allowed, it is a dishonorable thing after all. If the emperor knows that he still intends to kick Yao Mo, how will the emperor think of him?

Melancholy, still melancholy, he wanted to break his head, but couldn't find a good solution.Even when he was in Chaoshang, Yao Shangshu was not energetic.

In the same state as him, there are six other families.Wanting to encounter the same situation, the seven families should get together to discuss and deal with it, but as officials, they have too many scruples.

Forming a party for personal gain is something the emperor taboos the most, so the seven officials looked at each other and all smiled wryly and dispersed.

Yao Shangshu and others had scruples in their hearts, but King Ling didn't have so many scruples.

After the court was over, he chased him to the Imperial Study Room.

When the emperor saw King Ling, he knew it well, and he also felt very troubled about Huo Qiqi's matter.To be honest, if it wasn't necessary, the emperor would not want to get involved with Duke Hu's temperament. If this matter is not handled well, the old guy might even be able to rely on him.

But King Ling is his own brother, if he doesn't care about this matter, he can't justify it to the Queen Mother.

The emperor sighed, and finally ordered Ling Wang to enter the imperial study.

"Brother Huang, you have to save me this time." Sure enough, as soon as King Ling saw the emperor, he began to complain, "My son doesn't live up to it, and I will lose face when I am an old man. Brother Huang, you won't just watch me poor Can't get rid of the pot?

"As far as I know, Prince Ling's Mansion has benefited from Duke Huo's mansion all these years, right? Do you really think Huo Qiqi is a fool? You don't even look at it, Duke Huo is pampering Huo Qiqi like a treasure. , he can make Huo Qiqi suffer?"

"Brother Huang, I know I'm wrong. I don't pay much attention to things. I'm not that superficial. I just want to find some trouble for him on purpose by watching that old guy who protects the country. Who knew that Huo Qiqi was so ruthless that he actually took the entire Duke Huguo Mansion as a gamble." When King Ling mentioned Huo Qiqi, his eyes lit up with anger.

Now don't say that his son doesn't like Huo Qiqi, even he wants to drag Huo Qiqi out and beat him up.

Children's homes are just for fun, why are you so cruel to make such a big bet?

"I'll give back all the benefits I've gained over the years, right?" In the end, before the emperor could speak, King Ling put forward conditions on his own.

The emperor gave him a blank look, and said angrily, "You also said that you didn't put things in your eyes, and you are still thinking about that little family property. You also said that the protector is not easy to fool, you have taken over the protector. For so many years, he finally found an opportunity, so he can let you go so easily?"

"Then I can add some, right?" King Ling said shyly.

"It's not good for me to come forward directly, you have to lower your profile and discuss it with Huo Qiqi." The emperor suggested.

"The old ones are hard to talk to, and the young ones are not easy to talk to. Huo Qiqi is too bad-tempered, even if this king passes by, she might not be willing to listen." King Ling smiled wryly.

"Come on, I will order the Duke Protector to enter the palace, and you can just do your own thing well." The emperor ordered angrily.

"Thank you, Brother Huang." That was what King Ling wanted from him, and after getting a satisfactory answer, he immediately went back happily.

In the evening of that day, the emperor recruited Yao Shangshu and others to the Imperial Study Room, gave him a severe reprimand, and then sent Eunuch De to the Duke Huguo's mansion, and invited the Duke Huguo who was pretending to be sick to the palace.

"I have met the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Duke Hu Guo entered the imperial study, took a step and panted three times, with a sick appearance of breathing in more and breathing out less.

The emperor secretly rolled his eyes, if he hadn't talked to the imperial physician beforehand, he would have really been fooled by this old guy.

"Please sit down, Lord Protector." The emperor couldn't point out his tricks, and had to coax the old man.

"The emperor let the old minister into the palace, but do you have something to discuss?" Duke Protector asked tremblingly.

The emperor looked at him with a smile, "That's right, I have some private matters to discuss with the old man today."

The old man knew well why the emperor asked him to enter the palace, and he secretly rolled his eyes at the emperor a few times.Hmph, the emperor is partial, thinking how badly the Huguo Mansion has lost all these years, why didn't the emperor ask a question?
"Small bets can be fun, but big bets can hurt people. Qiqi gambled too much this time." The emperor sighed, and talked to the old man in a deliberative way, "Old Duke and Ling Wang and other officials belong to the Colleagues, you share my worries together on weekdays, and I don't want to see your hearts cracked because of the bet."

"The matter between the children, the old minister is not in good health, so he didn't bother." The old man played Tai Chi with the emperor, "This time, although the bet of Qi Qi is a bit higher, it is also forced because of the previous loss. reason."

"I have already reprimanded them. It is true that they have been wrong all these years. They promised that they will return all the items in the Duke Protector's Mansion in the future, and will add some money. As long as it is not too much, they will be satisfied with Qi Qi." Request." The emperor explained directly. "I know it's not easy to be a lobbyist. Even if the old man wants to save my face, he will expose this matter as soon as possible. Well, I won't make Qi Qi too difficult, and I will give her some compensation. "

The emperor's words have reached this point, and the protector of the country can't continue to be awkward, "Old minister, thank you for your understanding."

His tone was very light, and his expression was disdainful. It was obvious that Duke Protector still believed that the emperor was showing favoritism to the other party.

The emperor smiled bitterly, and secretly scolded the officials who caused trouble in his heart.

The Duke Huo returned to the mansion and asked Huo Qiqi and his brothers to go there together, and conveyed the words of the emperor, "Qiqi, if you feel wronged, even if your grandfather is desperate, he will vent his anger on you."

"What are you trying to do?" Huo Qiqi yawned and replied, she had just entered the space and worked for a long time, and now she was trying to catch up on sleep.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Duke Protector thought she was upset and said something ironic. He sighed and continued, "Okay, grandfather understands what you mean. Tomorrow, grandfather will negotiate with them."

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Huo Qiqi smiled and shook his head, "I'm telling the truth. Originally, I didn't intend to let them really lose the entire property. I just wanted to get back the things and money from the Duke Protector's Mansion. , of course, add some real estate and shops by the way, and by the way, add a free guard for use."
