Chapter 174: Entrusted with the important task of picking up the child

Seeing Li Hao this time, Qi Heng said directly: "What's going on with Minglan and Gu Tingye's marriage, is this matter brokered by you." ”

When Li Hao heard this, he immediately knew that Qi Heng was still the same stunned young man, and he hadn't changed a bit.

But he still replied: "Originally, I didn't need to explain this matter to you, but since you asked, then I might as well tell the truth."

I naturally knew about the marriage of the two of them in advance, but if I was the one who brokered it, I can't say it.

Of course, I didn't object to it. ”

Hearing this, Qi Heng was unbalanced, and said, "You know what kind of person Gu Tingye is.

You can rest assured that Minglan will marry him, how much better is he than me. ”

Li Hao smiled when he heard this, and said, "Let's not talk about it, I won't hurt you too much." ”

Qi Heng said: "Say, I really want to know." ”

Seeing Qi Heng's appearance, Li Hao agreed: "Okay, since you really want to know, then I'll talk about it."

What I don't like about you the most is that you are indecisive, and you have a very strong mother.

As you can see from the previous events, the biggest resistance you can make to the Lord of Binh Ninh is a hunger strike.

This kind of child's method does not mention what the odds of success are, even if you succeed.

This will only make the Lord of Pingning put it caused by you! The anger piled up, and then put it on Minglan together.

When the time comes, can you really protect Minglan , you can't even protect the little guys around you, what do you do to protect Minglan .

And Gu Tingye is different from you, I believe that he can also sacrifice his life for Minglan , but he also has the ability and means to protect Minglan .

It's not like you, when things come to an end, but you can only watch from the sidelines. ”

Hearing Li Hao's words, Qi Heng may have thought of that intimate indifference, his face turned pale, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing Qi Heng's dejected appearance, Li Hao did not continue to hit him, but asked: "Actually, Minglan has been married for so long, why did you come to ask at this time." ”

After Qi Heng calmed down, he said: "Some time ago, I was studying to prepare for the imperial examination, and my mother asked the people in the house to hide the news.

It was only after the temple examination that I learned all this from my mother. ”

After hearing this, Li Hao understood the reason, it was strange that with Qi Heng's temperament, he could bear to live after the imperial examination.

It seems that the county lord of Pingning still understands his son, and he calculates it for him step by step.

After speaking, Qi Heng didn't want to argue with Li Hao anymore, so he turned around and left.

As for whether he will go to the Sheng family or the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion again after this, Li Hao doesn't know and can't care.

After Qi Heng left, Zhang Guifen, who had listened to the whole conversation, walked out of the inner room and said: "What you said is too direct, Qi Heng grew up in a honey pot since he was a child, so you are not afraid that he will not be able to stand it after listening to your words." ”

Li Hao said: "I have nothing to do with his family, and I don't want to go to the high branches of the Qi Guogong Mansion.

I don't care what he feels, it's hard for me to coax him to fail. ”

Zhang Guifen didn't know whether she could do this, but smiled: "You seem to look down on Qi Heng in particular, is there any reason?" ”

In contrast, Li Hao himself thought about it first, and he seemed to have an opinion on Qi Heng from the beginning, which was still an inherent impression when he was watching the TV series.

After thinking about it, Li Hao said: "If you have to say this, I can't say the specific reason, maybe it's because of anger."

Everyone in Bianjing City said that he was talented and valuable, but in my opinion, he was a flower in a greenhouse, and he had never experienced the cold outside.

Therefore, when facing problems, he will not actively find a way to solve them, but deal with them in a negative way, and always play a good card to pieces.

Such a man is not pleasing until he is my enemy. ”

For Li Hao's words, Zhang Guifen didn't know how to answer, so the discussion about Qi Heng ended.

After this matter is dealt with, Zhang Guifen will be able to better keep others out.

Then Zhao Ceying was indeed as Li Hao thought, and soon came to visit.

Then he was stopped by Zhang Guifen, but Zhao Ceying was very determined this time, saying that as long as Li Hao did not come forward, then he would come every day.

For this kind of helpless behavior, Li Hao naturally chose to get used to him.

As long as Zhao Ceying comes, good tea will be served, good fruits will be eaten, and there will be good wine and good dishes specially prepared at the meal.

Anyway, the hospitality is guaranteed to be thoughtful, but people just don't show up, and slowly Zhao Ceying really doesn't come.

Of course, as for the main reason why Zhao Ceying did not come, Li Hao believes that it is because since Zhao Zhen proposed to establish a prince again on that day, there has been no movement in the back, which made Zhao Ceying temporarily lose his urgency.

But is that really the case? That's obviously not, Zhao Zhen has made up his mind, and where is it so easy to retreat.

He just didn't immediately continue to act on the surface, but privately went to clear the way for this matter.

Soon, An Guogong and Zhao Conggu were transferred to Yanzhou as the observer envoy, and Zhao Congyan, the Duke of Jingguo, succeeded him as the same judge.

Because the main division of the great sect was originally a clan yamen, the appointment of officials did not need to go through the political affairs hall, so Zhao Zhen seized the opportunity to replace it.

After replacing this key person in charge of the clan, Zhao Zongquan lost his ability to control the clan.

So Zhao Zhen once again proposed in the court that he wanted to elect another young prince to enter the palace.

After a period of cold shelving, it is not surprising that the differences between the 100 officials of the DPRK and China are getting bigger and bigger.

Many people began to lean towards Zhao Zhen's side, after all, Zhao Zhen has complained a lot to them in private these days, and has played a lot of emotional cards.

Especially the old ministers who accompany Zhao Zhen all the year round, they are already close to Zhao Zhen, and they are also sympathetic to the current situation that no one is happy under Zhao Zhen's knees, and they really don't want to embarrass Zhao Zhen, so they reluctantly agreed to this matter.

Slowly, above the court, the voices of agreement have been able to compete with the voices of opposition.

So everyone paid attention to Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu, the two great ministers, to see what choice they were going to make.

But the two of them are almost centrifugal now, Ouyang Xiu adheres to the attitude that silence is golden, but his default is still biased towards Zhao Zhen's side.

In the end, Han Qi had no choice but to end up in person, but this incident made Shoufu take the lead in the charge, and Zhao Zhen's partial help was added to the opposite.

In the end, Han Qi couldn't tear his face and protect Zhao Zongquan to the death, so at the end of the court meeting, Zhao Zhen forced the public opinion and finally passed the resolution to set up another prince.

So the work of formulating the candidate was handed over to the main sect of the main division, that is, the hands of Zhao Congyan.

Originally, Han Qi also wanted to leave some time for himself to find a way to deal with this selection.

It's just that what he never expected was that all this had already been planned by Zhao Zhen.

On the second day, Zhao Congyan proposed a candidate, that is, the great-grandson of Zhao Jiong, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, the grandson of Zhao Yuanfen, the king of Shang Gongjing, and the son of Zhao Yunrang, the king of Xianshu, the four-year-old Zhao Zonghan.

And after Zhao Zhen heard the name, he also directly agreed, so he ordered someone to report it directly, without delaying the time.

But don't look at the seemingly random selection, but this person is actually very special, because Zhao Zongquan is also the son of King Shu, speaking of which this person is still Zhao Zongquan's half-brother.

Of course, this royal bloodline, whether it is close or not, can not be seen by the distance of the bloodline alone.

And when Zhao Zongquan left Zhao Yunrang's side, Zhao Zonghan had not yet been born, and the two did not have that brotherhood, otherwise Zhao Zhen would not have chosen him.

It's just that with the issuance of this clear decree, everyone's eyes were directed to Zhao Zongquan, and everyone was watching to see how he would react next.

However, others can watch the excitement quietly, Li Hao is not so leisurely, he has to go to Xiangzhou and pick people back in person.

Originally, this matter could not be attributed to Li Hao, after all, Li Hao's current errand of salt and iron envoys could not be compared with this matter.

But because Zhao Zhen can completely rest assured, there are really not many people, and among them, there are even fewer who are suitable to lead the soldiers and horses.

So in this case, Li Hao was remembered by Zhao Zhen again.

Therefore, Li Hao was soon summoned to the palace by Zhao Zhenxuan, but Li Hao didn't think much about it at that time.

Until he saw that there was still a Zhao Congyan in the palace, Li Haodi instinctively told himself that it was estimated that there would be no good thing to enter the palace today.

Sure enough, after seeing Zhao Zhen and Queen Cao, Zhao Zhen said directly: "I summoned you to the palace today, because I wanted you to do an errand."

I want to come to the resolution of the imperial court, you have also heard about it, I plan to call Zhao Zonghan as the prince, and now I need to send someone to take him back.

I immediately remembered you for this matter, and I intended for you to do it. ”

Hearing this news, Li Hao really didn't want to accept it.

Although it is true that he is keeping a distance from Zhao Zongquan now, it does not mean that he wants to lean to the other side.

The problem is that on the other hand, it is okay to be reliable, but Zhao Zonghan is just a four-year-old child, and he is really not worth entrusting.

So Li Hao began to find an excuse to refuse: "Qi Qi official family, originally appointed by the official family, the minister should not refuse."

But now that the affairs of the Salt and Iron Division are just on the right track, the minister has a lot of things to deal with, and he really can't get out of it. ”

Regarding this, Zhao Zhen said: "I have also seen the reform of the Salt and Iron Division from the report, and you have indeed done a very good job.

Supposedly, at this time, I really shouldn't interrupt your plans.

But the matter of welcoming the prince is also very important, and it must be matched with civil and military forces before it can be done.

It's just that this time is different from the past, and it is not easy for Ouyang to leave Beijing now, and it is not very safe to send other people.

Therefore, I intend to let you lead the team, cooperate with the Duke of Jing Guo to bring the prince back, and ensure the safety of the way.

The main reason is that there are not many people I can trust, otherwise I wouldn't have let you run for me soon after you got married. ”

For Zhao Zhen's words, Li Hao can understand.

Now it is obvious that Han Qi has a different kind of thought, so Ouyang Xiu, who can be used to balance Han Qi at this time, is naturally not suitable to leave.

And without Zaifu and heavy ministers to suppress the formation, you must find someone who can lead the team with authority and be trustworthy, then Li Hao will stand out from the position.

And in the face of Zhao Zhen's request, Li Hao really couldn't refuse, after all, Li Hao can have today's scenery, and the root of all this comes from Zhao Zhen's trust, so he had to agree.

Hearing this, Zhao Congyan came out from behind and said, "Master Li, then it will be our cooperation that will come down."

However, I really don't have much experience in this area, and I still need a lot of advice from Master Li. ”

Regarding Zhao Congyan's words, Li Hao naturally believed that after all, Li Hao had also inquired about Zhao Congyan's resume.

This man has never done a real job from beginning to end, and has always relied on his title to earn a living.

It is precisely because this guy doesn't have much ability that he was selected by Zhao Zhen with confidence, so that he can use it as a tool man with peace of mind.

And Li Hao naturally understood the reason of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, so he said: "Jing Guogong is polite, if this trip is to go smoothly, we must work together." ”

Seeing that the two had roughly reached an agreement, Zhao Zhencai said to Li Hao again: "You can think about who you will take with you on this trip."

As for the entourage you need to bring, you will also go to the front of the palace to choose, and in order to facilitate your transfer of troops, you will be given the rank of squire of the military department.

As for the matter of the salt and iron division, you should hand it over as soon as possible, and when the handover is completed, you will set off to pick up people immediately, so as not to delay the time. ”

Li Hao naturally could only nod yes to this, and then left the palace under Zhao Zhen's urging.

However, it is said that the arrangement is cumbersome and cumbersome, but in fact, there are not many things to arrange.

After all, although Li Hao said that the salt tax reform was very high-profile, it had actually stagnated for a long time.

Of course, it's not just Li Hao, but the entire new coup law has basically come to a standstill.

Compared with others, Li Hao's side can at least ensure that it is moving forward, which is already very good.

The reason for this, that is, the change in the government, was originally implemented by the officials and the ministers.

This is the only way to change the law and the new policy under the opposition of a group of officials, but now the official family and the prime minister are not in harmony, and even the two prime ministers themselves have differences.

In this case, how can anyone dare to continue to implement the law change, and are they not afraid that they will be sold if they turn their heads?

So there was no hurry in the handover, Li Hao simply went home first to arrange things at home.

Just when Li Hao was going to Xiangzhou to pick up people, Wei suddenly became anxious and said: "You are going to Xiangzhou at this time, so you won't be able to catch up with Minglan marriage." ”

After hearing this, Li Hao said: "This trip to Xiangzhou is far away, and it is not easy to travel quickly with people.

It is estimated that it will take three months to go back and forth, and it is estimated that my cousin's marriage will not be able to catch up.

But it doesn't matter if I can't catch up, I don't plan to take Gu Tingye away. ”

When Wei heard this, he said angrily: "You said that you don't know what you are busy with, you were sent to Bianjing for several months before you got married.

This time your cousin got married, why should you go to support the scene for her, but you have to go out again, are you deliberately angry with me? ”

Hearing this, Li Hao really felt wronged, and said: "How wronged I am, this is the official family who sent me out of Beijing for something."

I don't have to go, mother, you can't blame me for this. ”

Although it was the time to inspect the salt tax, it seems that he did petition and took the initiative to go.

But as long as she doesn't say it, Wei doesn't know, anyway, she can't let her put the pot on her head, otherwise if she is unhappy, she will be able to turn it over and find trouble for herself.

And Li Hao's trick is really useful, at least the Wei family still respects Zhao Zhen very much, and it is not easy to say that Zhao Zhen's order is wrong.

At this time, Zhang Guifen happened to speak out to relieve the siege: "Mother-in-law, the official family appoints the husband to do things, and he also trusts the husband, which is a good thing."

As for Minglan's cousin's marriage, when the time comes, our family will go, and I will invite my mother to the wedding banquet together, so as to have a good time, what do you think. ”

Hearing this, Wei's face became a little better, and he said, "It's still thoughtful, then do as you say." ”

After solving the family matter, Li Hao went to the third division the next day to solve the problem, and basically explained the matter to Sheng Hong temporarily, and asked him to take care of the matter during the time he left.

Then they went to the front of the palace to select people, and after preparing all this, Li Hao and Zhao Congyan took people to the road to Xiangzhou.
