But if he returned to Beijing without permission, Li Hao was worried that he would fall into the hands of others, and he would be more passive at that time.

Just when Li Hao was in a hurry here, Zhao Xi came over and wanted to discuss with Li Hao to see how this matter should end.

Of course, before he came, Zhao Luan had already made a draft in his heart, and he wanted to control this matter in Sichuan and not implicate Bianjing.

Because Zhao Luan knows very well that today's Bianjing City has become a powder keg, as long as there is a little spark, it will explode, and this time it is a very good Mars.

But Zhao Luan was a little worried, for fear that Li Hao was a stunned young man, so he had to investigate to the end and lift this fig leaf.

So Zhao Chen said tentatively in a tactful tone: "Master Li, now that you and I have finished our errand, how do you think we should write this report to the official family."

But it turns out that Zhao Luan thinks too much, Li Hao has never been the kind of person with a tendon, and Li Hao has always looked at the pros and cons of gains and losses.

And in today's form, Li Hao can also see it clearly, and naturally knows that this is not the time to investigate.

He said, "This matter is written in a matter-of-fact manner, and all offenders with conclusive evidence must be severely punished.

But we can't catch the wind and catch the shadows, and we can't say a few words at will, so we can take it seriously.

Otherwise, if we implicate innocent people, it will be our sin."

After listening to Li Hao's words, Zhao Luan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that this matter was easy to do.

After confirming Li Hao's caliber, Zhao Luan planned to leave and draft the upper piece as soon as possible.

But Li Hao thought of an idea at this time, so that Zhao Luan could support him to rush back to Bianjing, so if you really want to talk about it, it can be more or less a reason.

Of course, in this case, Li Hao definitely can't bring the soldiers and horses back, at most, he will bring a few personal guards with him.

But this is enough, otherwise Li Hao is really not at ease here.

After making up his mind, Li Hao said, "But other than that, I think we still have to make two preparations, after all, people are harmless to the tiger's heart, but no one can guarantee that the tiger will not hurt people.

If we are caught off guard, we are afraid that people will plant all the sins on our heads."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Pan felt that this situation was indeed possible, so he asked, "Then what are the two hands that you are talking about?"

Li Hao did not answer directly, but talked about the most likely situations in Bianjing today.

"First, the official family is still there, and they can still control the court, so there will be chaos in the court.

Even if someone really wants to frame us, there will be someone to speak for us, and the situation will not be much worse.

Even if he can plan well in advance, maybe he can take this opportunity to make the other party suffer a big loss, at least it can make him dare not act rashly.

In the second case, the official family has already died, and the dust has settled in Bianjing City.

In this case, I'm afraid that everyone's attention will be on the matter of the new monarch's succession, and I am afraid that we will not be able to think of us for a while.

At this time, we also have enough time to set up and eliminate the impact of this matter.

….

The worst is the third situation, the official family is already dying, but the position of the prince is still disputed.

In this case, even if we don't say it, that person can really rest assured that we have his handle in our hands!

I'm afraid that when the time comes, whether we want to or not, we will all be involved in this turmoil, and because we are far away in Shu, we may not even have the power to fight back, so we can only resign ourselves to fate."

The meaning of these words is that someone has to preside over Bianjing, and who is the most suitable person.

Among Li Hao and Zhao Luan, it is naturally Li Hao who is more suitable, after all, he is the son-in-law of the British, and he has surpassed Zhao Luan a lot in terms of hard conditions.

What's more, there is still an Ouyang Xiu standing behind Li Hao, and this weight is even heavier.

Zhao Luan is naturally clear about this truth, but for a while, Zhao Luan didn't react and asked, "But if you want to bring the troops back to Beijing, you must have an order from the Privy Council, and you must also get the consent of the official, so it may not be too late in time."

Hearing Zhao Luan's words, Li Hao immediately said, "It is definitely impossible to bring the troops back, it must be light and simple, and secretly rush to the vicinity of Bianjing.

Contact someone first to find out the news in Bianjing City, and then according to the specific situation, see what method you can choose."

Seeing that Li Hao had already thought of this rhythm, Zhao Pan groaned in his heart, after all, this matter is not very proper after all.

It's just that in the end, I still think that I can't pin my safety on others.

Thinking that now that he and Li Hao are grasshoppers on a rope, coupled with Li Hao's background strength, it is indeed more reassuring for Li Hao to return to Beijing to plan.

However, Zhao Luan perfected the plan, let Li Hao pretend to be sick first, leave the barracks and live in the city, and pick out trustworthy people as guards.

Then set off quietly, and Zhao Luan also helped Li Hao hide in Chengdu Mansion to make a time difference.

After all, no one can say whether the nails buried by the other party in Sichuan have really been cleaned up.

Just in case, let Li Hao go first, as long as Li Hao can go to Beijing first to find out the situation, then many things will be solved.

After some careful confirmation, the two finally settled on a plan.

Then Zhao Luan went to write the sparse chapter, and Li Hao found Zhang Bangyan and explained the matter of guarding the camp.

Originally, Zhang Bangyan was quite strange about this, but Li Hao used the excuse that now that the errand was done, he would soon leave Chengdu Mansion.

So I thought that during this time, I would take a good look at Chengdu Mansion again.

Based on the fact that Li Hao is a person who loves gardens, no one doubts it.

So after Zhao Luan's performance was delivered to Bianjing, Li Hao began to close the door on the grounds of wind and cold.

On the bed, Li Hao met Zhang Bangyan and a few other people, and ordered them to guard the camp with peace of mind.

After they left, Li Hao immediately got up, beckoned the people he wanted to take away, went directly to the backyard to get the horses, and then embarked on the road back to Beijing.

Of course, Li Hao did not forget to send someone to the northwest to inform the British Duke of the situation on his side.

Because at this time, Li Hao had to suspect that maybe the situation in the northwest was also a chess game carefully planned by others, so he reminded the British public to have a lot of eyes.

….

After worrying about other people's affairs, Li Hao continued to rush with all his might, and at this time, Li Hao didn't know what a complicated situation he would face when he really arrived in the capital.

Besides, on the side of the capital, since the Duke of Qi found Zhao Zonghan's side by default, Zhao Zonghan finally had a backbone outside the palace.

For a while, there were really a lot of people who came over with the attitude of sending charcoal in the snow, which made Zhao Zongquan's side feel some pressure.

So winning over Zeng Chaosheng and Yang Wenyuan has become what Zhao Zongquan wants to do the most now.

However, Yang Wenyuan's attitude towards this is very distant, and he keeps a certain distance from both sides.

On the contrary, Zeng Chaosheng, under the instruction of Empress Cao, secretly began to associate with Zhao Zongquan.

And after getting Zhao Zongquan's official wish, this correspondence became even closer, and Zeng Chaosheng only had to pass on the information of the cats and dogs in the palace.

In addition to the gangs and factions here, under the guidance of Han Qi, the court gradually set off a storm to persuade the prince.

Among them, in addition to the officials who leaned on Zhao Zongquan, there were also many ministers who had always maintained neutrality, so they had a lot of momentum in the court.

On the other hand, those ministers who leaned towards Zhao Zonghan were also resolutely opposed to the current establishment of the prince.

Because they know that if the prince is officially established now, then Zhao Zhen will most likely establish Zhao Zongquan, so they will not be able to reap any benefits.

Therefore, whether the two sides are in the official office or in private, as long as they meet, the two sides will inevitably have a big quarrel.

Of course, there are few people on Zhao Zonghan's side

A lot, plus although Han Qi did not express his position in public, he has been pulling the shelf, so most of the time, he is at a disadvantage.

But it doesn't matter, after all, they also have a secret weapon, and that is Empress Cao.

Because this matter can only be decided by Zhao Zhen's typesetting in the end, but now the officials can't see Zhao Zhen.

Due to serious illness, Zhao Zhen now lives in the Funing Palace, and all things in the palace are arranged by Empress Cao.

At this time, Empress Cao took this opportunity to order someone to strengthen the palace ban, resulting in only Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi being left in the outer court to see Zhao Zhen.

And when Han Qi saw Zhao Zhen, Queen Cao would definitely be by the side, as long as she found that Han Qi's signs were wrong, she would directly interject and interrupt.

Coupled with the past events, it was not easy for Han Qi to directly pick out the words, for fear that Zhao Zhen would have any associations and be self-defeating.

Therefore, for a time, the matter of Lichu was discussed in the foreign courts, but Zhao Zhen, as a party, was kept in the dark.

In this case, Han Qi took up Ouyang Xiu's idea and wanted him to stand on his side.

So after leaving the palace one day, Han Qi suddenly blocked Ouyang Xiu at Xuande Gate.

However, in view of the original reason for the failure of the courtship, this time Han Qi played the emotional card and said, "Uncle Yong, since the grand minister of Fubi left Bianjing, we haven't eaten and drunk together.

Looking back at the beginning, we were in high spirits, and it was really a bit like a world away.

Why don't we go to Fanlou for a drink today and reminisce about the original time?"

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu said, "It's been almost two years since the Great Minister of Fubi was worried, and it has indeed been a long time.

….

But now that people can't get together, it's a little worse to eat, or wait until the rich minister returns to the court, and the three of us will go together."

Ouyang Xiu's refusal was very obvious, and Han Qi naturally wouldn't fail to hear it.

But if he gave up like this, then Han Qi would not have today's achievements, so he continued: "I know that you have always been worried about my persuasion of Fu Bi in the first place.

I think I covet the position of prime minister and want to take the opportunity to exclude him.

But why don't you think about it, if this matter is not the willingness of the rich minister, who has the ability to force him.

Otherwise, how many wills the official family has given him to win affection, as long as he wants to return to the court, he will come back a long time ago."

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu chuckled lightly and said, "Prime Minister Fu Bi is a benevolent gentleman, and he must practice his words, so how could he do such a half-thing.

If this is done by someone else, I am afraid that it may not be able to be done."

Hearing Ouyang Xiu's insinuation, Han Qi was not angry, and only said, "I didn't expect that in your eyes, I am such a person, it seems that you really have a deep misunderstanding of me.

We have known each other for nearly 20 years, during which we experienced the Qingli New Deal together, and then we were each demoted.

And now to the current Jiayou New Deal, along the way, I have always thought that you should know me."

Ouyang Xiu said, "I thought so at first, but since I came back from Yuzhou, I have found that I don't seem to know you well enough.

Later, the inventory of the salt tax, the wealthy minister, Ding Wei, and the recent Li Hao's southward movement to quell the rebellion, this kind of thing has refreshed my understanding of you again and again.

Now, I really don't know what kind of person is standing in front of me.

But this matter doesn't matter now, you are now the prime minister of the dynasty, I only hope that you will not live up to the favor of the official family."

After saying that, Ouyang Xiu walked away, and Han Qi, who was standing still, was looking at Ouyang Xiu's back and fell into silence.

Because Han Qi knew that after today, there would be an irreparable rift between himself and Ouyang Xiu.

Thinking back to the days when he cooperated with Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi and others, Han Qi couldn't help but sigh.

But this emotion only came for a while, and was driven away by Han Qi, and then Han

Qi told himself that since things had come to this point, there was no way back, so he needed to be more careful.

Thinking of what Ouyang Xiu said just now, since Ouyang Xiu already knew that he was behind the ghost and let Li Hao leave Bianjing.

Does Li Hao know it himself, if he knew, what would he do?

But the most worrying thing is not Li Hao, after all, Shu is remote, judging from the last letter from Shudi, Li Hao should not know about it.

When he knew the news, he was rushing back with people, but he was afraid that the dust had already settled on Bianjing's side.

Now Han Qi is most worried about the British duke, you must know that returning to Beijing from the northwest is much closer than Shudi, and the influence of the British duke is not comparable to Li Hao.

Although Ouyang Xiu's words just now did not mention the British duke, Han Qi couldn't help but plan in advance.

So after leaving the palace, Han Qi immediately returned to his house and sent two teams of men and horses to Shudi and the northwest respectively to inquire about the news of Li Hao and the British duke.

In addition, since the courtiers of the foreign dynasty could not enter the palace, but those who were originally on errands in the palace, Empress Cao was not so wary of them.

So the task of going to Zhao Zhen to talk about the establishment of the reserve was forced to fall on Zeng Chaosheng.

When he heard this, Zeng Chaosheng was stunned for a moment and said, "In the palace, the queen mother has repeatedly ordered everyone to mention this topic, and violators will be severely punished.

And the Funing Palace is also used by the queen's henchmen, so I can't interfere at all."

After hearing this, Zhao Ceying said, "When the tiger also naps, I don't believe that the Funing Hall is really tight to the point that water can't splash in.

And you don't have to say it yourself, just let the officials know that there is such a thing."

But Zhao Ceying's words were light, but Zeng Chaosheng's brows were tightly locked.

From knowledge to strength
