Chapter 67: Leading the Troops to the Battle
Li Hao saw that he had nothing to do with himself, so he began to feel pity for those noble children, they must know that the winner this time is not to enter the yamen of the forbidden army, but to go out directly to quell the rebellion, I don't know what their faces are.
Of course, Li Hao also felt sorry for the commander of this army, and sent troops with a group of gentlemen, I was afraid that he would die of a headache.
Li Hao was thinking about this, so he saw that Zhao Zhen and Ouyang Xiu had also roughly discussed it, and agreed that the matter would be discussed in the Privy Council, and if there was no major problem, it could be implemented.
At this time, Li Hao thought that even if it was over today, he would be able to leave the palace if he had nothing to do.
But suddenly Zhao Zhen mentioned something and asked Li Hao: "I once heard that you didn't want to be an official in Bianjing, saying that there are many officials and dignitaries in Bianjing, and it is very difficult for you to be an official in this place."
Now, if there is a chance for you to go to Beijing on a business trip, are you willing? ”
Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Li Hao thought that Zhao Zhen wanted to transfer him to a local position, although he was a little reluctant now. But he could only say: "Everything is under the orders of the officials, and the ministers should obey themselves." ”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "That's fine, then Li Qing's family and Ouyang Qing's family will retire if they have nothing to do." ”
Then the two said goodbye to Zhao Zhen and went out of the palace together.
On the way back, Li Hao asked Ouyang Xiu for advice: "Uncle, what do you mean by the last sentence of the official family, is it preparing to transfer me to a local post?" ”
Ouyang Xiu didn't answer positively after hearing this, but said with some meaning: "You don't have to think much about it, it won't be long before you know the result."
In addition, don't spread everything in the palace today, and it's better not to tell anyone. ”
After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "This is natural, the little nephew understands. ”
When Li Hao wanted to ask something, Ouyang Xiu went straight away, making Li Hao a little depressed.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Li Hao hurried back to the house, after all, there are a bunch of outsiders in the house now, and Li Hao is a little relieved after all.
However, when Li Hao returned to the house, he found that everything was fine in the house, and those who were sent were very obedient after Gu Tingye cleaned up.
So after seeing Gu Tingye again, Li Hao strongly asked him to stay in his house for a few days, anyway, it seems that the game can't start for the time being, and he has to wait until the official side comes out.
And Li Hao also thought about handing over this competition at this time, otherwise he would pull people from the winning side into the counterinsurgency army, and he would offend people again, so there was no need for this.
Therefore, Li Hao didn't care about the league in the next two days, and he didn't let Gu Tingye take care of it.
Just waited at home, and as a result, sixty-nine more people were accepted in the past two days, but by now they have basically all arrived.
In order to be busy with this matter, even the old lady of the Sheng family sent someone to invite Li Hao over, but Li Hao politely excused her.
After everyone arrived, when Li Hao was thinking about what to do with these people.
There was news in the palace again, and Li Hao was directly asked to enter the palace for questioning, which made Li Hao confused.
When Li Hao arrived at the Vertical Arch Palace, he saw that in addition to Zhao Zhen, Ouyang Xiu was also still there today, so he could be regarded as letting go of half of his heart.
After Li Hao came in, Zhao Zhen went straight to the point and said: "According to the words of the Qing family, the Privy Council has already agreed to form another army of imperial camps, according to the establishment of 2,500 people in the first army, under the jurisdiction of the front command department of the palace, and after the formation is completed, it will go to the south to quell the rebellion."
It's that the leader has not yet been properly discussed, but I think that since this matter was proposed by the Qing family, I don't know if the Qing family has anyone to recommend. ”
After hearing this, Li Hao was puzzled, and he didn't know how he could ask about the affairs of the generals in the army about such a civilian official from the sixth grade, but he still said in a decent manner: "The minister really doesn't know any lieutenant generals and colonels, and he doesn't know who can take on such a heavy responsibility, so he can't nominate a candidate, and he hopes that the official's family will atone for his crimes." ”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "The Qing family doesn't know who is suitable, so it's better not to bother the two masters." Since the league is presided over by the Qing family, and the lieutenant general of the imperial camp army is filled by the league winner, then the Qing family will simply lead the troops on this trip, and it just so happens that it is common for civilian officials to lead the troops in our court. ”
When Li Hao heard this, he was a little dumbfounded, although Li Hao had also fantasized before crossing that he could lead troops to fight in all directions.
But this happened too suddenly, and Li Hao also knew how many catties and taels he had, and he hadn't read a few military books, so how could he have the ability to lead the troops to fight.
Li Hao wanted to refuse at this time, but he heard Zhao Zhen say: "Now you will be promoted to Dali Temple Judge, and then add a four-turn Xiao cavalry captain to you as the commander of the imperial camp army, and lead the imperial camp army."
As for the rest of the generals, they will be filled by the winners of this competition, and you will be approved by the Privy Council. Therefore, the Qing family does not have to worry too much, this matter has been decided, and it will not be changed.
But about the matter of leading the troops this time, if there are any difficulties in the Qing family, I can say it now, and see if I can solve it for you. ”
Li Hao saw that everything was said and said, so he thought that if he wanted to go anyway, it was important to find a reliable helper for himself, so he said: "I really have something I want to start the official family, if I am the one to lead the troops, I want to ask Gu Tingye as a deputy to help me, and ask the official family for permission." ”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "I know that this person is familiar with you, but it has always been rumored that this Gu Erlang has been prodigal since he was a child, and he is unbearable, is it a little inappropriate for you to let him assist you." ”
Li Hao replied: "Gu Tingye's original style may have been a little prodigal, but he has changed his ways since he was studying.
And speaking of which, he can be regarded as having Ning Yuanhou's seven or eight points of ability, with his assistance, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, I am willing to guarantee Gu Tingye and ask the official family for permission. ”
Zhao Zhen groaned for a while after hearing this, probably thinking that he had cut off Gu Tingye's imperial examination road, plus Gu Tingye's imperial examination article was really good. He agreed: "Then let Gu Tingye Yin Feng join the company, and assist you in handling official business for the military and military Duyu Marquis."
In addition, the military situation is urgent, so start your league as soon as possible, and reorganize the army as soon as the winner is divided, and the sergeants will be drawn from the upper four armies, and the army will be reorganized within a month after the game, and go to the south to quell the rebellion. ”
After finishing speaking, he asked Li Hao and Ouyang Xiu to retreat together.
When he got out of the palace gate, Li Hao complained to Ouyang Xiu: "Uncle, when the official family asked me to lead the army just now, why didn't my uncle persuade me. I don't know anything about the army, and the officials are not afraid that I will come back from defeat by mistake. ”
After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu said, "Go back to the house with me first, and go back to talk about it in detail." ”
After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage and went back to the house, Li Hao hurriedly followed, and after arriving at Ouyang Xiu's mansion, Li Hao asked again: "Now my uncle can tell me the matter." ”
After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu said: "Now that I know that I am in a hurry, why was I not stable at the beginning." ”
Li Hao said: "I know it's wrong, and I will definitely change it in the future, but what does this have to do with the official family asking me to lead the troops." ”
Ouyang Xiu said: "The official family asked you to lead the troops this time, naturally they didn't expect you to really make any great contributions, as long as you take these noble sons and daughters to the battlefield for a turn, it will naturally be of great use to those who dare to do things, and it can be regarded as a selection."
As for why you were hand-picked, one is because you did this league, which is logical. Second, it can be regarded as a time to make up for it, although the official family did not say it this time, but there are still many people among the officials who participate in you, and you have to give them an explanation.
And when you come back with the troops, it is logical that you can directly take this force to control the security in Beijing, which is not a bad thing for you. ”
Li Hao understood after listening to it, and the big stone in his heart was finally put down.
So he smiled and said, "In that case, then I'll organize them to have a good parade this time." I just don't know how they will feel after they win the game, but they know that they will have to fight the thieves immediately, or if they will fall into my hands, and I wish them good luck. ”
