Chapter 127: Temptation and Planning
Li Hao rushed back to Bianjing City that day, preparing to contact Gu Tingye to discuss with him how to deal with the chaos that might arise in the future.
However, Gu Tingye was stationed in the imperial city and could not leave the palace at any time, so Li Hao could only go to the palace to find him by himself.
Of course, the situation in the palace is complicated, and specific matters must not be discussed in the palace, this time Li Hao only made an appointment with Gu Tingye, so that Gu Tingye could leave the palace to find him as soon as possible.
But what Li Hao didn't expect was that after Li Hao entered the palace, he was found by Rong Xian, who came to hear the news, before he saw Gu Tingye.
Then he had to pull Li Hao to speak, and in the end, Li Hao had no choice but to follow Rong Xian, just to listen to what Rong Xian was planning.
After following Rong Xian back to the Praetorian Guard Yamen and sitting down, Rong Xian first asked, "What did you suddenly come to the palace today?"
Hearing this, Li Hao knew that Rong Xian felt that he had entered the palace for the news of the canonization of the crown prince.
After all, as soon as the news spread, he entered the palace, and it was difficult not to think about it.
However, Li Hao doesn't mind that others know, this kind of thing is a personal curiosity, not to mention that this matter is closely related to everyone.
Of course, Li Hao wouldn't say this directly, so he replied, "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't entered the palace for a long time, and I have time today to see how Gu Tingye and they are doing during this time."
Now that I have met Commander Rong, I just want to ask them if they are safe in everything in the palace, and if there are any things that are not good, Commander Rong can just speak up, and I will teach them a lesson."
When Rong Xian heard this, he didn't answer, but asked everyone in the hall to withdraw.
After that, he said, "There has been news in the palace that King Yan is going to be appointed as the crown prince, and you must have heard about it, but entering the palace at this time is just to ask about some trivial matters, which is not very convincing."
After hearing this, Li Hao replied, "I know the news, but this time I really just came to ask Gu Tingye for questioning, and Rong Commander thought too much."
However, since Rong Xian has brought the topic here, Li Hao doesn't mind testing it, so he said: "But since Rong Commander mentioned it, then I also want to ask your opinion, after all, you are resident in the palace, and you are Concubine Rong's brother, so you are naturally better informed than us, what do you think about this matter?"
After hearing this, Rong Xian said, "Although I haven't met Master Li many times, I finally have some friendship, and I can trust you as a person.
Therefore I will tell you the truth, and here I will get out of my mouth and into your ears."
Li Hao replied, "Okay, Rong Command, please speak."
Rong Xian said: "You are familiar with Ouyang Mansion Yin, I think you should know something about my sister at the beginning, from the bottom of my heart, I just don't like King Yong's family, arrogant and domineering, and despise the king's law."
Hearing this, Li Hao almost thought that Rong Xian was going to have a showdown with himself, and he was really worried that after he refused, dozens of knife and axe men rushed in outside to let him die violently.
But fortunately, Rong Xian's next words changed his meaning: "But the position of the crown prince is established by the official family, and it is not easy to say anything as a courtier.
I can only serve the official family again, and when the new monarch ascends the throne in the future, the command of this Praetorian Guard will naturally make it impossible for me to do it.
….
If you are lucky, you may be able to return to your hometown to spend your old age in peace.
In addition to me, you also have to think about the future path, you now have military power in Bianjing City and even in the palace, and you have never surrendered to the command of King Yong, if he ascends the throne at that time, I am afraid that he will not be able to tolerate you."
After hearing this, Li Hao replied, "So Commander Rong wants to show me the way!" Let's talk about it."
Rong Xian didn't hesitate, and said directly: "What path can I show you, I just want to remind you, King Yong is the future prince after all, it is not easy to offend, you can properly release kindness to him, it will be good for your future path."
Li Hao said suspiciously, "Is Commander Rong helping King Yong lobby me?"
Rong Xian replied, "I just want to tell you some truth for the sake of your future."
After hearing this, Li Hao replied, "This is down
It's not necessary, don't say that he is not the prince yet, even if he is the prince, the official family is still there, even if he ascends the throne in the future, what can he do.
I came from a civilian background, and I am not without roots in the DPRK and the Central Committee, so it's a big deal not to do this errand, and I can just send it to the local area."
After hearing this, Rong Xian replied: "That's right, this dynasty gives preferential treatment to civil officials, at most, it's just a future."
Speaking of this, Li Hao planned to say goodbye under the pretext of leaving, but before leaving, Li Hao specially asked, "King Yong killed Miss Feiyan, did the adults really never hold a grudge?"
It seemed that Li Hao's words were a little unexpected, so Rong Xian was stunned for a moment before he said, "What can I do if I hold a grudge, the official family wants him to inherit the unification, and I can't help it."
After hearing this answer, Li Hao got up and left.
When Li Hao found Gu Tingye, he briefly asked them about their situation in the palace, and then agreed on the time and place to meet Gu Tingye out of the palace.
Then he left the palace and waited for Gu Tingye to come out to meet.
In addition, Li Hao has to find a way to let Wei and Li Jian leave the capital during this time, so as not to be dragged into the palace by Concubine Rong as hostages.
At the same time, in addition to the Wei family, the generals in their own camp, especially those from the noble family, must also find a way to let them leave Bianjing temporarily, so as not to be involved when they get it, which will make people restrained.
It's just that it's hard to find a reason to leave reasonably without making people suspicious.
There is still time for this, so that Li Hao can think slowly.
On the evening of the second day, Gu Tingye came to visit the Li Mansion by appointment and discussed with Li Hao.
After seeing it, Gu Tingye asked first, "I heard you say yesterday that you were dragged by Rong Xian to speak, what did you say specifically?"
Li Hao then told Gu Tingye what he said yesterday, and after listening to it again, Gu Tingye said, "Rong Xian is trying to test you, to see if you will fall to King Yong because of the fact that King Yong was canonized as a prince."
Li Hao replied, "I think so too, after all, our thousands of men are not small, and you are still in the palace, so it is even more important.
He's going to have to help us take a stand, but whatever I say, it's necessary to be on our guard."
Gu Tingye echoed, "That's right, unless we fall directly to King Yan, no matter what, he has to guard against us.
….
What do you think we would do if we pretend to fall to King Yan?"
Hearing this, Li Hao said angrily, "Don't come up with ideas, you have to believe him if you say that you are backwards."
When the time comes, he wants you to get a vote and let you kill King Yong, what are you going to do?"
Gu Tingye said, "That's the same, so what do you think they will do in the future?"
Li Hao replied: "It's already come to this point, in fact, Rong Xian and King Yan have no way out, so they naturally want to take a risk.
So what we have to do is very simple, protect the safety of the officials and defeat their rebellion."
After listening to Li Hao's words, Gu Tingye said angrily: "What you said is light, there are five thousand guards in the palace alone, and we are only five hundred.
Not to mention that in the four armies, there may still be people from King Yong, how to frustrate."
Li Hao replied: "There are not many people, but the essence, there are not many of us, but there are many people in the camp in the western suburbs.
As long as there is the will of the officials, we can order troops from the camp in the western suburbs to quell the rebellion, and I don't believe that they can really completely control the Fourth Army."
Hearing this, Gu Tingye still retorted: "It's easy for you to say, how did the will of the official family come about, if something happens in the palace, Rong Xian will definitely take the Praetorian Guards to blockade the imperial city, how to spread the will.
And even if it gets out, you can guarantee that the people in the western suburbs will listen to you."
Li Hao explained: "I have already received the news, because the official family is not very extravagant, there are many palace walls in the imperial city that have been invaded all the year round, and there are dog holes, and some petite people can climb over.
Therefore, as long as you protect the official family at the first time, it is not difficult to get the will to be transmitted
。
As for making the people in the western suburbs camp obedient, now that the British prince is not in Bianjing, many people in the western suburbs camp are related to your Gu family, as long as they hold the will of the official family and are justified, it is not difficult to make them obey the order.
Besides, we don't need to call all the camps in the western suburbs, as long as we can mobilize some of them, and the others just need to be impartial."
Hearing this, Gu Tingye couldn't help but say, "You are really scheming, this is a lot of time."
Li Hao replied with a smile at this time: "This can involve the lives of many people, so I naturally have to plan carefully.
But you are still in danger, because from the very beginning of this matter, they must have gone directly to the officials' house, and you must hold out until I bring the troops here."
Gu Tingye thought for a while and said, "This shouldn't be difficult, in order not to make any big noise, I think they won't prepare siege equipment in advance, as long as we retreat to the palace with the officials, it shouldn't be difficult for us to hold for a while."
The biggest problem is the city gate of Bianjing and the palace gate of the imperial city, how do you enter these two gates."
Li Hao said: "I'm not worried about the city gate of Bianjing, and we are not without people in the city.
The only thing that is rare is the gate of the Imperial City, and I want to see if there is a way on your side."
Gu Tingye immediately replied, "What can I do about this? Although I am in the palace, if I rashly contact the Praetorian Guard, I am afraid that it will arouse Rong Xian's vigilance."
Li Hao thought for a while and said, "What you said is also right, everything is still based on safety, if it doesn't work, we will also storm the city gate when the time comes, anyway, as long as we get to the position, they will have to transfer troops to defend it, and it can also relieve the pressure on you."
….
Later, Li Hao and Gu Tingye roughly agreed on the second set of contact methods with fireworks as the number, so that the two sides could communicate in case of emergency.
After the conversation, when Gu Tingye was about to leave, Li Hao remembered the incident of the second rebellion in the palace.
Then he advised: "By the way, although the Praetorian Guard does not have siege equipment, the hidden fire team in the palace has ladders, remember to destroy those ladders at a critical moment, don't cause trouble for yourself."
Gu Tingye answered and left, and then Li Hao began to think about what he had done, and whether there were any loopholes that needed to be filled.
Unnoticed, Wei walked in at this time.
It wasn't until Wei walked in front of Li Hao and suddenly opened his mouth that the sound that suddenly came out of his ears scared Li Hao so hard that he did it to the ground with one ass.
Seeing Li Hao like this, Wei asked, "What are you talking about mysteriously with Gu Tingye, and you have to drive everyone out.
After the conversation, he looked like he was in a state of despair."
Here, Li Hao just came to his senses, sat down again, and replied, "Gu Tingye is not stationed in the palace now, there are some things to discuss with me, can other people know about the affairs in the palace?"
I was thinking about this just now, but you suddenly came next to me, can I not be scared."
After listening to Li Hao's explanation, Wei didn't feel that there was a problem, how mysterious the palace was in her heart.
Especially the good image of today's official Zhao Zhen among the people, it is even more sacred to the palace.
So skipping this question, Wei brought up the old matter again, and told Li Hao about Minglan and made Li Hao's head bigger.
Li Hao really didn't plan to bother with this at this time, so he reluctantly coped with it, only hoping that Wei would leave early after finishing his nagging earlier.
However, Wei's is not only about Lan, but also about Zhang Wen: "Zhang Wen and Pinlan have roughly set the date, and it is estimated that in a while, Pinlan will set off from Youyang to Beijing to complete the marriage.
You said that your subordinates have already done their marriage, and you don't even have a choice now."
Hearing this, Li Hao was really a little helpless and said, "They are subordinates, but they are all older than me, and they can only be said to be married at the right time."
That's all he said, but Li Hao thought in his heart, is this a matter of candidates, you just want me to choose Minglan.
But suddenly, Li Hao had a flash of inspiration and asked, "This time Pinlan came directly to Beijing, didn't the Hou Mansion send someone to pick it up?"
Wei replied: "There shouldn't be, when the levy was taken, Mrs. Song had already gone in person, and it could be regarded as giving the Sheng family enough face.
This time, the Sheng family brought the girl to Bianjing to complete the marriage, and there is no need for the Hou Mansion of Huining to send someone to greet him, otherwise it will seem too rushed."
Li Hao retorted: "Mother, what you said is not right, it is because of the difference between the two families that the Hou Mansion of Huining should send someone to Youyang.
In this way, it shows the importance of this marriage, so that Pinlan will not be looked down upon when she arrives in Bianjing, and secondly, it can better reflect the strength of the Marquis of Huining."
After hearing this, Wei also felt reasonable, but still said, "What does this matter have to do with you, if you have the heart to take care of this matter, it is better to think about your own business."
Li Hao didn't argue anything about this, but he decided in his heart to talk to Zhang Wen and let him go and encourage the Song lady.
At that time, let the Song lady go south, and then see if she can think of a way to attract all the female scrolls of the Wei family, and form a Bianjing Xungui tour group to send all these people to the south to play.
In this way, there is a legitimate reason, and there will be no suspicion, and it will take several months to come and go, and when these people come back, the dust in Bianjing City has already settled.
And there are many people, and there is another advantage, that is, you can bring more guards with you, so that no one wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.
So after the kind words coaxed Wei away, Li Hao thought about it.
It's not difficult to encourage Mrs. Song, but if you want other people to go together, you have to give them a reason.
Li Hao really couldn't think of this serious reason, so he decided to try the side way, anyway, the goal was achieved.
The film and television heavens start from knowing whether or not.
