Chapter 243 Gives you a trick

After retiring from the court, all civil and military officials came out of the Jinluan Hall.

"The emperor now attaches so much importance to Mr. He, this burden is not light."

Just as Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites finished speaking with He Zixu, Prince Jin who was next to him suddenly tripped and almost fell into the mud.

He Zixu gave him a little help, and said with a smile: "Zixu has nothing to do and wants to compete with King Jin, why are you so anxious, walk carefully!"

Prince Jin snorted coldly, shook his robe sleeves, and said: "This king has nothing to do with you!"

He Zixu nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and said: "What the King of Jin said is true. We are all officials of the court and serve the emperor, so why should we pursue fame and fortune? Why should we seek friendship everywhere?"

After finishing speaking, he laughed twice.

"You!" Prince Jin glared at him angrily, and left angrily.

"Master He, now that the emperor is using him so much, King Jin's aura is not as good as before." Minister of Rites looked at the back of King Jin going away, and smiled while stroking his beard.

"It's all because the emperor is wise!" He Zixu said with a deep breath.

The Minister of Rites went on to say: "It's also because your lord and the fourth son have made great contributions in escorting him. This time Mr. He chose the fourth son as his son. It's really a unique vision."

He Zixu said with a smile: "I really didn't expect it to be wrong and right."

After finishing speaking, he said goodbye to the Minister of Rites, and happily returned to the Guangping Palace in a carriage.

In the evening, the palace held a family banquet in the hall. He Zixu sat on the main seat, and said in a very happy mood: "I really didn't even think of it myself."

He Jianan put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Father, the emperor appointed you to receive the gifts, so isn't King Jin's face so ugly?"

"Of course." He Zixu put down the bowl triumphantly, and said cheerfully, "When he was leaving the palace gate, he wanted to be ahead of me, so he almost fell over."

When he said this, everyone burst into laughter.

"It seems that he will never make things difficult for us again." After He Zixu finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and continued to eat.

"That's good, that's good." Several young masters applauded.

At this time, He Jiabei leaned in front of Mrs. He San, lowered his voice and said: "Mother, didn't daddy say that he can't eat or sleep?"

Mrs. He San gently poked his chest with chopsticks, and reminded: "It's rare that your father is so happy, don't spoil his interest!"

He Zixu suddenly looked at He Jiabei and said, "Jiabei!"

"The baby is here." He Jiabei responded quickly.

"The emperor's kindness is great, the emperor has been asking me what reward you want, although the emperor said, you can do whatever you want, but you must not be greedy." He Zixu warned with a serious face.

"Yes, father, the child will not be greedy." He Jiabei nodded and said very obediently.

Mrs. He San urged him: "Jiabei, tell me quickly, what exactly do you need? Tell me quickly."

He Jiabei looked straight at He Zixu, as if thinking for a long time, and slowly uttered a sentence: "Father, I just want to marry Pei Daozhu!"

When He Zixu heard this, his complexion darkened immediately, he put the bowl and chopsticks heavily on the table, and said in a deep voice, "Say it again!"

He Jiabei was not afraid at all, and repeated with firm eyes, saying: "I just want to marry Pei Daozhu."

He Zixu was furious when he heard the words, and angrily reprimanded: "I originally thought that you would grow up after you became a prince and made great achievements, but I didn't expect that you still never forget this woman."

He Jiabei lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Dad, I just want to marry her."

He Zixu sighed quietly, and said: "This matter is related to the reputation of my He family. Even if I agree to you, will the entire He family agree?"

He Jiabei looked at everyone, but everyone silently put down their bowls and chopsticks, with hesitation on their faces.

Suddenly, He Jianan stood up and said loudly: "Father, I support fourth brother!"

The second child, He Jiaxi, also stood up and said, "I also support the fourth brother! Jiabei has loved a woman all his life, which is really rare in the world today."

The youngest He Jiadong immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, we are willing to sacrifice a little bit of reputation to make Jiabei a reality."

Even He Jiabai, who was only nine years old, raised his hands, and said in a childlike voice, "I support it too!"

"Okay, good brother!" He Jiabei was very surprised and excitedly said to his brothers.

"Good brother!" He Jianan and the others raised their fists in response.

"Father, please help me." He Jiabei looked expectantly at He Zixu who was frowning, and begged.

He Zixu pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay."

"Thank you dad!" He Jiabei jumped three feet high in joy.

"However, I have a condition!" He Zixu said seriously.

He Jiabei was startled when he heard the words.

On the morning of the second day after the family banquet, He Zixu led He Jiabei to the school grounds of Shangwutang. The two were fully armed and stood facing each other.

"If you can hit me with one move within thirty moves, I'll let you decide your own destiny." He Zixu said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back.

"That is to say, as long as I hit you, I can marry Pei Daozhu, right?" He Jiabei asked energetically.

He Zixu nodded slightly, and said, "Come on, let's do it!"

He Jiabei pursed his lips when he heard the words, and said, "Okay, Dad, please forgive me for being unfilial!"

After finishing speaking, he rushed over with his fists waving, and before he could get close, he was knocked down by He Zixu within a few strokes, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.

But He Jiabei naturally wouldn't give up so easily, he immediately got up from the ground, took down a big knife from the weapon rack at the side, and slashed at He Zixu while waving the big knife.

After a few jumps, He Zixu also came to the weapon stand, took down a big knife, and fought with him.

"There are no fathers and sons in the school. If you want to marry Pei Daozhu, you have to do your best!" He Zixu stared at He Jiabei and said in a deep voice.

After finishing speaking, he lifted the knife vigorously, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

He Jiabei panicked and wanted to bend down to pick up the knife, but He Zixu beat him back again and again. There was no chance, so he had to retreat to the weapon rack again and took down a spear.

As a result, within three rounds, his spear was thrown away by He Zixu's spear again, and his men were also kicked far away.

He Jiabei rolled all over the ground, and suddenly saw a unsheathed sword falling on the ground, so he picked it up, but stood on the spot without pulling out the sheath, his hands were shaking constantly.

"What? Do you want to give up? Useless things!" Seeing this, He Zixu snorted and mocked.

He Jiabei clenched his fists, rallied, and immediately drew out his sword with a loud clang. Within a few moves, He Zixu was forced to shake the spear in his hand to the ground, and took several steps back before gaining a firm footing.

Seeing this, He Jiabei hurriedly dropped the sword in his hand, rushed over to support He Zixu, and asked, "Father, are you alright? I'm like this, do I already win?"

He Zixu patted him on the shoulder and said with great relief, "Well, you hit me."

When He Jiabei heard this, he was ecstatic and rushed out, saying: "Pei Daozhu, wait for me to marry you!"

He Zixu looked at his son's back with joy, couldn't help smiling, and sighed, "Silly boy, I let you do the trick!"
