Lord, I have

Chapter 297 I want him to continue to be his Lord Marquis
"That's good." Ling Shengge was relieved this time.

Three days later, Ling Tao took Ling Nan and Ling Bei to prepare the carriage. Ling Dong's wife Fang Ning was pregnant, so Ling Dong and her stayed in Pucheng for the time being.

Zuo Gong and You Shou helped to check and found that everything needed for the road was ready and told Ling Tao and Mu Changhuan that they could go on the road.

Yu Zizhen bid farewell to her parents, brother and nephew, and returned to the Kingdom of Jin with her daughter, granddaughter and Ling Tao.

Because the arrangements were properly made, nothing major happened along the way, and there were so many trivial things that did not delay them on their way.

The group returned to Ling'an City in less than a month. Ling Shengge was also moved when he saw that the original Mu Mansion had now become Prince Mu's Mansion, and that the eunuch's wife had suddenly become a princess.

The front of Prince Mu's Mansion was changed, directly into two gates, and the other side was prepared by Mu Changhuan for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, which was also extremely considerate.

When Ling Tao returned to Ling'an City, he entered the palace with Mu Changhuan immediately. During his absence, many things happened in Ling'an City. During Emperor Tan's reign, most of the officials changed after Dongfang Ji ascended the throne. Now The lack of people in the DPRK urgently needs a group of officials with good governance to fill them.

Dongfang Ji has been the emperor for so long, and his whole person has become different from before. He used to have a murderous and decisive bloody smell on his body, but now he is more restrained and looks calm and dignified like a wise king.

Ling Tao belonged to the virtuous and did not avoid relatives and enemies. In the past, as long as anyone who had a feud with him had the ability, he and Dongfang Ji proposed to be transferred back to Ling'an City from the outside. As for his younger brother Ling You and his son Ling Ruichen, he did not shy away from it. His son-in-law, Cheng Zijin, recommended him.

Dongfang Ji is not an incompetent puppet emperor. The people recommended by Ling Tao will only be reused after a thorough investigation. There can be no sloppy in governing the country.

After talking about business, Dongfang Ji took a look at Mu Changhuan, "I heard that you love your daughter so much, someday He Shengge will bring the child into the palace for me to see."

Mu Changhuan frowned, "Linglong is still young, let's wait for her to grow up!"

"It's called Linglong?" Dongfang Ji's mouth twitched, "It looks like Shengge, right?"

Mu Changhuan smiled lightly, "Generally speaking, there are many places like me, and it is said that a daughter is like a father, which is absolutely true."

Dongfang Ji glanced at Mu Changhuan, a daughter who looked like him?It makes people even more curious about what they will look like when they grow up!

Ling Tao interjected, "Your Majesty, now that the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, shouldn't it be time for you to think about your marriage?"

Mu Changhuan glanced at his father-in-law. As expected of his own father-in-law, this question was too kind. This kid would feel uneasy if he didn't marry him.

When he thought of his daughter-in-law thinking about marrying Dongfang Ji, he couldn't help feeling jealous.Although he has a daughter, his family's Sheng'er is still young, who knows if Dongfang Ji will be so determined to hook up.

People who fall in love are suspicious, especially when Mu Changhuan sees Dongfang Ji's handsome face that rivals his, the sense of crisis becomes stronger.

Dongfang Ji smiled, "Master Hou, I have been busy with state affairs these days, you finally came back to help me share the burden, and I still want to take this time to take a break and go out for a walk, where is the time to marry a wife."

Mu Changhuan couldn't help answering, "Your Majesty doesn't know the beauty of marrying a wife. When you find someone who suits you, you won't want to rest."

He had to let Dongfang Ji know the beauty of women, and when Dongfang Ji had a woman himself, he would stop thinking about his Sheng'er.

Dongfang Ji's eyes dimmed for a moment, the woman who was suitable for him was snatched by the big monster in front of him, he really lost his sight at the beginning, why didn't he see that the eunuch was a fake?
Ling Tao coughed lightly, "Your Majesty, the Empress always needs something. The late Emperor chose a beautiful girl before and is still in the palace, right?"

Dongfang Ji frowned, "They were all sent home to arrange marriage."

"Since this is the case, let's choose again. The emperor is worried about the country and has someone to take care of him. I see that the emperor is surrounded by men, so it is inevitable that there is something wrong with his heart." Ling Tao persuaded earnestly.

"Master Hou, needless to say, I don't want to marry a wife for the time being, and I don't have any plans to become a queen. As for the people around me, I think they take good care of me. If there are too many women, I'm upset."

Seeing Dongfang Ji's disinterested look, Ling Tao stopped talking. He was actually afraid that Dongfang Ji would not give up on his daughter, so he advocated letting Dongfang Ji become the queen.

Before, when he didn't know Dongfang Ji's identity, he thought about making Dongfang Ji his son-in-law. Now that Dongfang Ji and Ling Shengge belonged to the same grandfather, he felt that it was thanks to Mu Changhuan's interference, otherwise something serious would happen. up.

Ling Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to be the Marquis of Dingyuan. In my next life, I just want to play around with my wife and play with my grandchildren. Do you think I let my son take over the position?"

"Master Hou, the son of the Hou family is only 14 years old now." Dongfang Ji glanced at Ling Tao, "I think Ruichen is pretty good."

Ling Tao was stunned, "Ruichen has his own ambitions, he won't compete with his younger brother for the throne."

Dongfang Ji smiled, "Your Majesty should know the truth that those who are capable should be the ones. The son is young and has no experience. I don't think it would be good for him to make him a Marquis so early."

Ling Tao finally understood that Dongfang Ji wanted him to continue to be his Marquis.

Ling Tao and Mu Changhuan left the palace, and when Mu Changhuan got into the carriage, he saw that Ling Tao was not on the horse.

"Father-in-law, aren't you going back home?"

"You go back first and tell your mother-in-law that I will go back to the Hou Mansion."

It was too irresponsible for him to leave in a fit of anger. Although he was angry, it was his mother and sister after all. He couldn't make them accept Yu Zizhen and Ling Shengge, nor could he make his wife and daughter forgive the people in the Hou family. The only thing I can do is go back and see his mother every now and then.

Ling Tao rode back to the Hou's Mansion, and the gatekeeper of the Hou's Mansion immediately ran and jumped to notify Ling Tao when he saw Ling Tao's surprised face.

Ling You happened to be at home with his son Ling Ruize and ran out to greet him, "Brother!"

"Second brother!" Ling Tao reached out and patted Ling You on the shoulder.

"Uncle, you are back!" Ling Ruize is now 17 years old, taller and more handsome than when Ling Tao left.

Whether it is long or short, Ling Tao has been away for more than a year, and he was a little excited to see his younger brother and nephew, so he entered the Hou's mansion with one in his arms.

"Uncle, my grandfather got a serious illness a few days ago and is still lying in bed, and my grandmother is talking about you every day these days." Ling Ruize chattered about the family affairs to Ling Tao.

"What disease does father have?" Ling Tao glanced at Ling You.

"It's still the injury I got when I led soldiers in battle when I was young, near the liver." Ling You sighed, "Brother, father's condition is not very good."

Ling Tao frowned when he heard what Ling You said, "Go and see."

"Uncle, I'm going out to look for elder brother, he should be back now after being sent out by the emperor." Ling Ruize ran away like a wind.

Ling Tao patted Ling You on the shoulder, "When will Brother Ze calm down?"

Ling You looked helpless, "His mother is looking for someone to marry him, maybe it will be more stable after marriage."

"By the way, what about the in-law's family you decided for Jinglan and Manlan? When will you marry them?"

Ling You thought of his two future son-in-laws with a smile on his face, "Brother was very right at the beginning, those two children are promising, the emperor knew them well when he was in Baishan Academy, now They have been given proper official positions in the court, and they can feel proud."

"That's good. Have the two families said when they will get married?"

"Jinglan decides next month, and Manlan decides October." When Ling You mentioned the marriage of the two daughters, he was both happy and depressed.

"My daughter always wants to marry when she grows up. This time, I will recommend you to be Minister of Rites in front of the emperor. The imperial decree will come down soon. I want my daughter to have more status in her husband's family. You will have to work hard as a father in the future. "

"Brother, let me be a minister? I'm afraid I'm not capable enough."

"I know best whether you are capable or not. For so many years, I have inherited the position of marquis and led troops to fight against you. The world only knows that I am Ling Tao, but they don't know that I have a younger brother who advises me." Ling Tao hugged Ling Tao. Yu's shoulders are just like they were when they were young.

Ling You smiled and hooked Ling Tao's shoulders, "Then I will listen to my elder brother, and I will be a big tree to shelter the Hou Mansion from the wind and rain."

The two brothers went to see the old master Ling Chengli. Ling Chengli had lived alone since he was seriously injured when he led the soldiers in the battle. He did not live with Yang. After this serious illness, Yang moved here to accompany him.

When Yang saw Ling Tao and Ling You approaching, she was stunned for a moment, but immediately rushed over to beat him up, "You little bastard, you only came back when your father was so ill, could it be that you are here because of someone who you don't know who it is? Doesn’t that ghostly woman even recognize her parents?”

Ling Tao asked Mrs. Yang to thump her a few times before making a sound, "Mother, Zhen'er has been found, and now she lives next to the Mu Palace, and I will live with her there in the future."

Yang was stunned for a moment, "What did you say? Yu Zi really found it?"

"Mother, not only Zhen'er was found, but the son born to Zhen'er and I was also found. Now that Brother Yang is the son of the Hou family, Ziao will live with me and Zhen'er and will not fight for anything."

Yang's lips trembled, "You mean, my good grandson was also found?"

"Originally, I wanted to pass the position of Marquis to Brother Yang, but the emperor said that he was still young and asked me to be Marquis of Dingyuan for a few more years. In these few years, I will make proper arrangements for the Marquis Mansion and then hand it over to him. Brother Yang."

"Tao'er, how old is my good grandson? Does it look like you?"

"Almost ten years old, looks like his mother." Ling Tao smiled when he mentioned Ling Ziao. That son not only looks like Yu Zizhen, but also has a very similar personality. He is very stable at a young age.

Seeing Ling Tao's smile, Yang felt a little unfair for Ling Ruiyang, "I never saw you like Brother Yang so much."

Ling Tao looked at Yang with deep eyes, "Mother, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, they are all my sons and I like them equally."
