Chapter 170: Dialogue between husband and wife
In fact, Han Qi still has some doubts about Zhao Zhen's decision to leave all the chapters in China this time.
Until Chen Shengzhi's recital was also left behind, this made Han Qi even more suspicious, and he didn't understand what Zhao Zhen thought.
It was precisely because of this that Han Qi thought of encouraging Ouyang Xiu to try it first, take a trip to the troubled waters, and let himself see the truth behind the scenes.
Anyway, no matter what, this matter was mentioned by himself on Zhao Zongquan's side first, as long as the matter is done, then the credit will naturally be credited to him.
Unless Ouyang Xiu directly found Zhao Zongquan to talk about it, and reached a consensus, let Zhao Zongquan know that this matter has nothing to do with him.
But even so, he has something to say, after all, he is still the one who plays a driving role, and as far as he knows, Ouyang Xiu has had no contact with Zhao Zongquan since Yuzhou.
Of course, this is also what Han Qi is willing to see, and the others throw themselves at Zhao Zongquan, but Han Qi doesn't care.
But if Ouyang Xiu, the current privy envoy, also threw himself into Zhao Zongquan, it would undoubtedly greatly reduce his weight in Zhao Zongquan, and it would have a great impact on the distribution of power in the future.
It's good now, the only thing that Han Qi didn't consider was that Ouyang Xiu didn't agree to this matter, and he didn't want to write a book to admonish him.
Except for Ouyang Xiu, there are no more important ministers who can handle it now, and Han Qi doesn't want to break the harmonious relationship with Zhao Zongquan and leave the impression of being a fool, so he can only choose to go out in person.
Of course, the reason why Han Qi was willing to go to this concert was that he still felt that Zhao Zhen had directly pushed down the candidates for Kaifeng Mansion handed over by the political affairs hall without asking the reason, the purpose was to let Zhao Zongquan be the one.
So after returning home, Han Qi began to draft the appointment of Zhao Zongquan as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion and delivered it to the palace.
And Zhao Zhen is also waiting for this letter, but this waiting is sad and disappointed.
Zhao Zhen originally thought that what Master Qin said at the beginning was to help Ouyang Xiu gain a dragon merit in Zhao Zongquan, but he didn't expect that Ouyang Xiu didn't have an excerpt, but let Han Qi hand it over.
Then Zhao Zhen remembered that during the Zhihe period, Han Qi urged him to establish a prince several times.
recalled a series of things that Han Qi had done since Zhao Zongquan came to Beijing.
You must know that this matter always does not stand up to scrutiny, as long as you think about it, you can always find a reason for all kinds of things.
So the more Zhao Zhen thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhao Zongquan and Han Qi had already colluded.
At this time, Zhao Zhen suddenly couldn't stand it, and he didn't do anything about it, Zhao Zongquan hooked up with Zaifu, what did the two of them want to do.
Zhao Zhen can allow middle- and lower-level officials to hug their thighs in advance and take refuge in the Ming Lord, but he absolutely can't tolerate that his Zaifu also fell to others.
Especially this is a person who has been single-handedly promoted and entrusted with important tasks, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Zhao Zhen.
As for Zhao Zongquan, Zhao Zhen now also has an idea, originally thought that Zhao Zongquan would be an honest person, so he was chosen to succeed him.
But finding that he had done so many things behind his back, Zhao Zhen also began to waver a little about the choice of this heir.
Originally, when Master Qin proposed, Zhao Zhen did intend to give Kaifeng Yin's position to Zhao Zongquan to further enhance Zhao Zongquan's prestige.
But now Zhao Zhen has completely lost this idea, and even feels glad that he set up the crown prince instead of directly making him the crown prince.
If it had been a few years earlier, Zhao Zhen would have driven both of them out of the capital directly.
But now that Zhao Zhen is ready to endure it last time, it's just Kaifeng Yin's matter, and he must give up.
However, Zhao Zhen did not immediately give an order, but prepared to fish to see if there was any bait, and he could also confuse Han Qi.
Otherwise, as soon as he finished going up, he immediately went down with a will, didn't that mean that he had an opinion on Han Qi!
At the same time, Zhao Zhen remembered Fu Bi's goodness, so he wrote a sincere private letter in his own handwriting, and ordered someone to send it to Luoyang urgently, hoping that he could do it as soon as possible
Return to Beijing.
But in fact, Zhao Zhen didn't wait too long, because there were no big fish on the bait, they were all small fish and shrimp, and Zhao Zhen was not interested in caring about it, so he waited for five days.
Zhao Zhen drafted an edict to appoint the position of Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion to another person, and when selecting people, Zhao Zhen deliberately chose the first person reported by the political hall.
So when this will arrived in the political affairs hall, it simply made Han Qi doubt his life.
Han Qi couldn't understand why Zhao Zhen didn't want Zhao Zongquan to be this Kaifeng Yin, then why he didn't agree to it when he was drawing up the candidate.
As a result, now I have agreed and selected the first person who was originally proposed, isn't this a lake to play with people!
For a while, Han Qi wanted to go to the Vertical Arch Hall with this will, and ask Zhao Zhen what he thought.
But soon Han Qi calmed down, just looking at this will a little waxy, you said that if you agree to the will, it will be difficult for Zhao Zongquan to speak.
But if you don't make a decision, what reasonable reason do you have?
At the beginning, this person was reported by the political affairs hall, but now it is less than a month, so he can't slap himself in the face and say that this person has a problem.
As for rejecting the will in person and recommending Zhao Zongquan, it would be too obvious, which is different from forcing the crown prince back then, just going like this, it is too taboo.
After thinking about it, Han Qi finally decided to follow his original intentions, anyway, as long as he was still in this position, there was always another way to maintain a relationship with Zhao Zongquan.
Therefore, the news of the appointment of Zeng Gongliang as the right to know Kaifeng Mansion was directly announced to the public.
This stunned everyone, whether it was Zhao Zongquan's father and son or the officials who were close to them.
is still the initiator of this matter, Ouyang Xiu, no one thought of this position, why did he give it to Zeng Gongliang inexplicably.
Of course, this also includes Li Hao, but Li Hao is still on vacation, so he got the news relatively late.
At that time, Li Hao was persevering, and then looking for a common topic with Zhang Guifen, although it was said that it was love after marriage, then it was necessary to make up for love.
However, based on the lack of accumulation in Li Hao's two lives, he really didn't know how to chat with the girl.
So I recalled the online tutorials I had seen in modern times, teaching how to find topics to chat with girls.
Then Li Hao went from dreams and wishes, to dressing up, to eating tastes, and was stunned to make Zhang Guifen doubt that the person he married was stupid!
However, Zhang Guifen is still very pleased with this husband's stupidity, at least he can see that he has indeed not had any personal affairs with other women, which is better than those who have been trained to speak sweetly.
So when talking about hobbies at the end, Zhang Guifen deliberately echoed: "If you want to talk about hobbies, then polo should be counted.
If you want to say that in Bianjing City, there are really few female rolls that can compare to me."
Originally, when he talked about this, he deliberately gave Li Hao a step, because Zhang Guifen also knew that Li Hao's polo skills were also good, so that the two could talk together, and they could also make an appointment to play polo together.
But who knew that Li Hao was inexperienced, and then thought that in the play at that time, Shen Congxing and Zhang Guifen had won against Minglan and Gu Tingye, but it was a comity game.
Minglan 's polo skills are not necessarily worse than Zhang Guifen.
So he directly retorted: "What the lady said is a bit big, don't say it for the time being, my cousin's polo skills are not bad, you two can compare them when you have time."
Hearing this, Zhang Guifen really didn't know if the man in front of him was an elm head.
said angrily: "Your cousin, it's the sixth girl of the Sheng family who played polo with you and won the golden hairpin, right?"
Hearing this, no matter how insensitive these aspects were, Li Hao also sensed that something was wrong.
hurriedly said, "Yes, it's her, and now she has already married Gu Tingye."
Then he deliberately changed the subject, and was about to turn the finger on Wei's first, so he said, "My mother also specially prepared a dowry for her, and my mother told you about this
Let's go."
Zhang Guifen replied, "My mother-in-law has already told me about this, and she also told me about Minglan and our aunt.
Kindness should naturally be repaid, and I naturally have no opinion on this matter.
It's just that my mother-in-law also mentioned that she had intended for you to marry Minglan at the beginning, is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, Li Hao was really a little helpless, his mother said everything, this is not a pit son.
I had to reply, "Then my mother should have told you that I didn't agree with this from beginning to end, and it was purely my mother's own thoughts."
But Zhang Guifen said directly: "Yes, I really haven't heard my mother-in-law talk about this."
Seeing what Zhang Guifen said categorically, Li Hao was a little unconfident, and couldn't help but wonder if Wei really didn't say it.
Just when Li Hao didn't know what to say, Fu Deng rushed into the courtyard and said that there was news coming.
didn't say it right away, but looked at Zhang Guifen on the side.
Li Hao naturally understood Fu Deng's thoughts, but there was nothing to avoid in what he did, so he said, "Hurry up, I have something that Madame can't listen to."
Hearing this, Zhang Guifen's heart warmed, and she was very useful to Li Hao's words.
And Fu Deng said: "The official position of the Kaifeng Mansion has been determined, and Zeng Gongliang, a scholar of Hanlin, will take over.
Just now, Lord Ouyang has sent a message, so that Childe can do his own business with peace of mind, and ignore other miscellaneous and irrelevant things."
Hearing this, Li Hao was a little confused, what kind of plan did Ouyang Xiu prepare.
Didn't the original intention be to push Zhao Zongquan to the position of Kaifeng Yin, so as to get closer.
Although I don't know why in the end, this matter is in a uproar, and so many officials are implicated, but the direction is not wrong.
Why did he suddenly change to Zeng Gongliang now, the situation changed so quickly that Li Hao was a little at a loss.
Li Haodang even wanted to go to Ouyang Xiu to ask clearly to see what was wrong.
But as soon as he got up, he was pulled by Zhang Guifen and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Of course, Li Hao would not say the real reason, so he explained: "This matter is very strange, the news of letting the prince Zhao Zongquan take over as Kaifeng Yin spread all over the world earlier, and the official family did not stop it.
Now that someone else has suddenly changed, this situation is a little wrong, I want to go to Ouyang Daxianggong and ask the reason."
Zhang Guifen said: "Didn't you listen to the news from Prime Minister Ouyang just now, it is to let you concentrate on your own business, and don't worry about other miscellaneous things, isn't this already very clear."
If Grand Minister Ouyang really wants to talk to you in detail, then he will naturally bring a message and let you go to his mansion to say it."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Guifen turned her head and asked Fu Deng, "How did the words of Grand Minister Ouyang come here, did you go to his mansion, or did someone tell you on the way."
When Fu Deng heard this, he also understood what Zhang Guifen wanted to ask, so he replied, "It's on the road, the news from Lord Ouyang's personal servant.
He is the old man next to Lord Ouyang, and he has been by Lord Ouyang's side all these years."
Zhang Guifen nodded, then let Fu Deng go down first, and then said, "Since Grand Minister Ouyang didn't pass it directly from the mansion, but let people tell him on the road, it must be inconvenient to say it directly in the mansion.
If you go at this time, won't you cause trouble for Prime Minister Ouyang?
And don't ask Ouyang Daxianggong, isn't there still a Master Qin in our house, although he has been away from the court for a long time.
But he will see the hearts of people in this world more thoroughly than you, so you might as well go there and ask."
And just when Zhang Guifen was talking eloquently, Li Hao felt that she seemed to be shining all over her body.
couldn't help but be stunned, and it wasn't until Zhang Guifen finished speaking that Li Hao came back to his senses a little.
But looking at Zhang Guifen, who was looking at him, he couldn't help but kiss him.
At this moment, the two of them were really stunned together, and time seemed to stand still.
Until Qiu Yun carried the newly made fruit
, when you walk in.
The two who heard the sound hurriedly separated, and then Li Hao hurriedly said, "Just now I was a fan of the authorities, and Mrs. Lao mentioned it, so I will go to Master Qin to ask."
After finishing speaking, he ran away with a puff of smoke, leaving only Zhang Guifen, who was flushed, in place.
Qiu Yun, who didn't see the previous scene and only saw this scene, asked Zhang Guifen directly curiously: "Uncle, what's wrong, running so fast, as if something is chasing behind you."
But before Zhang Guifen could answer, Qiu Yun found that Zhang Guifen's face was flushed when she approached, so she quickly put down the things in her hand.
Reached out and touched Zhang Guifen's forehead, and found that it was very hot, and he didn't care about asking Li Hao about it, so he hurriedly said, "Girl, what's wrong with you, your forehead is so hot, are you sick, do you want me to ask a doctor to come."
Hearing this, Zhang Guifen coughed lightly a few times, eased her mood, and then said, "No need, I'm fine, I'm just sunburned, I'll go back and sit for a while."
Then Qiu Yun looked up at the sky, it was full of dark clouds, how could she see the sun.
At this time, Zhang Guifen obviously realized this, and in order to hide her embarrassment, she had to pretend to be calm and get up and leave.
And Qiu Yun was naturally not at ease, so she followed Zhang Guifen until she saw that there was indeed no problem with her going back to the house.
As for Li Hao on the other side, after leaving, his mind also cleared up.
But I can't help but think that I just arrived there, and I can't help but feel that it feels so good.
When he was about to arrive at Master Qin's courtyard, Li Hao still cleaned up his mood before entering.
At this time, Master Qin was reading the court newspaper brought back by Li Hao, and when he found Li Hao coming, he teased: "Why do you have time to find me, and don't go to accompany your wife."
Hearing this, Li Hao couldn't help but think of the scene just now, and his mind couldn't help but start floating again.
Realizing that this was wrong, Li Hao hurriedly said, "Teacher, isn't it normal for me to come to you?
And I'm coming to you today because there's one more thing I want to ask you about."
After hearing this, Master Qin said, "What's the matter, you say."
Li Hao then told the matter from beginning to end, and then said what Ouyang Xiu had just said.
After hearing all this, Master Qin was also very strange, obviously he had already said that he had moved Zhao Zhen that day, why did he suddenly change his hexagram.
But put this aside, think about the reason, and combine it with Ouyang Xiu's words.
Master Qin pondered for a while, and then realized that the problem might be something, after all, there were not many things that could make Ouyang Xiu take the initiative to avoid suspicion.
After figuring it out, Master Qin said, "It seems that the official family is dissatisfied with this prince, and I am afraid that there will be some changes in the court."
Li Hao was really shocked when he heard this, he never expected that he would get such an answer from Master Qin.
But thinking back these days, I haven't heard of such rumors, so I said: "Probably not, Zhao Zongquan was originally determined by the official family, and since Zhao Zongquan entered Beijing, he has not heard any big troubles, so why should the official family be dissatisfied with him.
Could it be that it was because an official recommended him to be the crown prince and Kaifeng Yin this time?"
But this was unintentional, it sounded intentional, and when these words fell into Qin Fuzi's ears, he immediately seemed to think of something.
He slapped his face and said, "I figured out why."
