"How much does this cost?" Mrs. Wang asked in shock.

After reading the gift list, Zhang Cuifen directly gave an estimate:

"These are almost 100 million yuan!"

This made the Sheng family very worried. The man's betrothal gift was so heavy, which put unprecedented pressure on them.

The total assets of their Sheng family only amount to about [-] yuan. When the time comes, how should they return the gift, or how much gift should be appropriate!

Fortunately, Zhang Cuifen comforted:

"Actually, parents-in-law don't need to worry. The Zhang family is not short of money, so when returning gifts and welcoming the bride, just pack more affordable items, which will give you face and dignity!"

At this time, Sheng Hong and his wife finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was really because Lin Hao had put too much pressure on them. Whose betrothal gift was carried by the army, or was it a heavy gift worth millions!

At this time Dongrong, Sheng Hong’s confidant, shouted:

"Master, the front yard is already filled with betrothal gifts!"

At this time, Sheng Hong glanced at the old lady and finally said:

"Arrange the female rolls to Mu Cangzhai and Shou'an Hall, and then send the betrothal gifts to other courtyards for temporary storage!"

Chapter 356: Can I plead guilty to privately transferring troops?

At this time, the old lady Sheng frowned. Sheng Hong thought that it was on his own initiative that he arranged the female scroll to the Fushou Hall, which made the old lady unhappy.

So Sheng Hong quickly saluted and said:

"Mother, if you are not afraid that they will disturb your purity, my son will let them stay in other courtyards temporarily!"

The old lady glanced at Sheng Hong, ignored his little thoughts, and said with emotion:

"A troubled autumn!"

Sheng Hong's heart tightened when he heard this, and he was keenly aware that there was something wrong in the old lady's words, so he immediately asked:

"Why did mother say this!"

Then he shook his head and reminded: "Your son-in-law, this time I came to betrothal, but you sent an army to carry the betrothal gift!"

Sheng Hong frowned and pondered, but was puzzled. Seeing that Sheng Hong was not enlightened, the old lady reminded her again:

"army!"

Sheng Hong shrank and immediately thought of the crux of the problem. Lin Hao was a noble man, but he paid a betrothal gift and mobilized the army privately. What kind of behavior was this!

The whole yard was filled with betrothal gifts, which made everyone in the Sheng family rejoice, but Sheng Hong was sweating profusely.

At this moment, Sheng Hong was thinking that he must remind his son-in-law.

At the same time, Qi Heng stood on the street, gritting his teeth as he watched the Zhang family's huge team of betrothal people delivering betrothal gifts to the Sheng Mansion in an endless stream.

Then Qi Heng angrily rode back to the Duke of Qi's mansion, hid in the Zhang family's room, and smashed things in the room angrily and helplessly!

Ever since he entered the Sheng Family Private School, he had fallen in love with Sheng Minglan. However, whenever he got close to Minglan again and again, he was always sabotaged by Lin Hao intentionally or unintentionally.

Now he finally understood that Lin Hao just wanted to destroy his relationship with Minglan.

Three months ago, when he learned that Lin Hao had quietly proposed marriage to the Sheng family, he was stunned.

Later, he desperately threatened his mother with death and insisted on marrying Sheng Minglan.

However, his mother, Princess Pingning, killed him with just one simple word:

"If you have the ability to threaten my mother, why not go to the British palace with your sword and ask King Yan to give up marrying Sheng Minglan as his princess!"

So Qi Heng retreated. In the past few years of studying at the Sheng Family Private School, he naturally knew Lin Hao's character, so Qi Heng couldn't afford to fall ill.

Until today, when he personally saw Lin Hao's team of subordinates and the joyful Sheng Mansion, he knew that his Minglan no longer loved him!

He secretly swore in his heart that he and Lin Hao would be at odds with each other in this life!

Outside the door, Qi Guogong and his wife listened to the crackling sounds coming from inside, their faces full of worry. This was the first time they had seen their son lose such a temper.

If I had known better, I would not have sent Qi Heng to the Sheng family to study. I don’t know what kind of spell the concubine of the Sheng family cast on her son.

He actually fascinated his well-behaved and sensible son.

Of course, while they hated Minglan, the couple also hated King Yan even more. If Zhang didn't marry the concubine of the Sheng family, how could he make his son so angry?

Duke Guo of Qi looked at his son's room, and then said as if he had made up his mind:

"Come here, prepare a car!" After saying that, he was ready to go out.

Princess Pingning glanced at Duke Qi, and then asked:

"What do you want to do?"

Duke Guo of Qi stopped and said:

"Originally, I didn't want to interfere in the fight between King Yan and Han Zhang and others, but now I can't just sit back and watch, even if I want to vent my anger on my son!"

"Master, please think about it...!"

······

At the same time, at Han Zhang's house.

At this time, Han Zhang, who was the prime minister, was sitting at the top, and sitting next to him was Fu Bi, who was the privy envoy. Among the six officials below them, there were five ministers.

70.00% of the civil servants above the third rank in Bianjing City are here.

The purpose of these people getting together is of course to cause trouble.

who?

Of course, we want to deal with Lin Hao, the King of Yan!

They did not fall out with Lin Hao before because Lin Hao used King Yan to rebel against King Yong, which resulted in a large number of officials being demoted in the court, and one-third of the seats in the court were once again vacant!

This greatly damaged the vitality of their scholar-bureaucrat class. Fortunately, many civil servants stepped forward to fill the vacant positions in the court, and even cooperated with Lin Hao for a time to erode the power of the imperial power.

Now that the civil service group has calmed down, it is natural to prepare for Lin Hao, a warrior, to have an operation.

Yes, in the eyes of these civil servants, Lin Hao was a martial artist. Even if Lin Hao passed the imperial examination, it still could not change the fact that Lin Hao was a martial artist!

The most fundamental reason is mainly because the power of the Zhang family is too strong. There is a British prince who is leading the army outside, and the King of Yan, Lin Hao, also occupies the key department of the Third Secretary!

Thinking back to the time when a group of military generals wore yellow robes for the Zhao family, if something like that happened in the future, it would make them shudder!

However, in order to propose marriage this time, Lin Hao secretly mobilized three thousand Dragon Guards, which gave them a perfect excuse.

Therefore, when these civil servants found out, they all rushed to Han Zhang's house, clamoring to read Lin Hao's book in the morning.

You know, mobilizing the army without the emperor's consent is a capital offense.

"So, King Yan secretly mobilized three thousand dragon guards just to carry the betrothal gift for him?" Han Zhang asked in disbelief as he took a sip of tea soup.

"Prime Minister, this is the impeachment memorial for a lower official. I would like to ask the Grand Master to read it!" Then a minister handed the memorial to Han Zhang and continued:

"It is a capital offense for King Yan to transfer troops privately! And we must not encourage such a trend...!"

You are such a talent. You actually charged King Yan with more than 40 charges in such a short period of time!Han Zhang looked at the charges on the memorial and felt infinite emotion in his heart!

Of course, Han Zhang and Fu Bi knew very well that most of them were fake.

For example, one of the charges is that Lin Hao stayed overnight in Guangyuntai. Why is this charge so familiar? Are you sure you are not doing it for revenge?

However, it doesn’t really matter whether it’s true or false.

All you need to do is to provide good personal and material evidence, and the fake ones will become true, and King Yan will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.

"You wrote this memorial well."

Han Zhang looked at me and handed the memorial to Fu Bi. After reading it, Fu Bi also stroked his beard and smiled:

"Yes, although these crimes are not serious, they are better than the number. Given the ignorance of the two queen mothers~!

Hmm~ No, it should be that the two queen mothers have always been kind, and they will definitely be disgusted with him when they find out!

"When the time comes, we will throw out the matter of him privately mobilizing the army today. Even if he does not die, we will have to let him shed a layer of skin."

"But this memorial cannot be presented by our people."

"good."

At this time Han Zhang took over the conversation:

"If our people submit the memorial, it may cause the two queen mothers to misunderstand and mistakenly think that we are excluding dissidents. Therefore, it is appropriate for this memorial to be submitted by people from the Yushitai."

Then the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance continued:

"Qi Guogong has a very great influence on Yushitai. If he has his support, I think more people will follow suit!"

"It's a pity that I visited the house several times, trying to win over the Duke of Qi to join us in a united front and prepare to deal with King Yan together, but the old fox of the Duke of Qi refused to let go."

"This old guy!" Fu Bi sighed and said, "It's clear that he wants to sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits."

Han Zhang waved his hand and said:

"Then don't worry about him. He doesn't cover the sky with just one hand at Yushitai. He can just find other censors. As long as he builds momentum, a lot of people will follow suit!"

"It's just that I have to be careful about this person in the future!"

······

Prince Pu's Mansion.

The direct descendants brought by Zhao Zongquan from Yuzhou, as well as Wu Xun who had joined him in Bianjing, also gathered here to talk about Lin Hao's private deployment of troops and recruitment.

"Everyone, what do you think of today's events?" Zhao Zongquan asked with eagerness on his face.

However, everyone here looks at me and I look at you, and they don’t know what to say.

Even Zhao Zongquan’s brother-in-law Shen Congxin asked with a confused look:

"Brother-in-law, what happened today?"

"Hey~, I'm tired!" Shen Congxin cured Zhao Zongquan's hypotension with just one sentence.

There was no way, after all, Zhao Zongquan was just a training envoy of the Yuzhou regiment, and he had a bunch of rough guys under him.

It might be okay for you to let these people fight, but it would be a bit overwhelming to ask these big bosses to give him advice.

This was also the reason why the old emperor chose Zhao Zongquan to assist the government. Zhao Zongquan had no foundation in the capital and did not have the strength to rebel.
