Chapter 201: Li Hao cuts power
After settling these things, Li Hao felt a lot more relieved, after all, even if it was the last step, it could be regarded as a killer feature.
Of course, in Li Hao's heart, he still hopes that he won't really come to this point.
It's just that on this, there is not much that Li Hao can do, and there is no Zhao Zhen's summons in the palace, and it is not easy for him to enter the palace to ask for a meeting.
As for Empress Cao, Li Hao still has a normal understanding of herself, and she will not ask for hardship.
The remaining brothers Zhao Zongquan and Zhao Zonghan, Zhao Zonghan is a master of things.
And Zhao Zongquan can go to the news and let him know Zhao Zhen's plans.
This will also prevent him from really not waiting, and then he may do something that no one wants to see, which will be troublesome.
However, Li Hao's identity is now more sensitive, and it is not only a matter of standing in line, but more importantly, he has taken on the mission given by Zhao Zhen.
This makes Li Hao unable to expose his position in advance, and must abide by neutrality.
Just when Li Hao was thinking about who should deliver the news, so that Zhao Zongquan and them could believe it, and he would not expose himself.
Suddenly, the porter reported that it was the little grandfather of the Qi State Mansion who came to visit.
Although Li Hao was a little surprised, he didn't understand what Qi Heng was doing with him at this time, could it be that Empress Cao wanted to force herself to express her position again.
But he still asked his subordinates to guide Qi Heng to the main hall, and then he changed his clothes and passed.
After entering the main hall, Li Hao said, "It's rare for the little grandfather to come to the door, what is there to do this time?"
Qi Heng replied directly: "I came this time to help the queen mother to ask, she asked me to ask you, see if you have thought about it!"
Hearing this, Li Hao immediately felt that there might be some problems in the palace, otherwise Empress Cao shouldn't be in such a hurry.
Li Hao did not answer positively to this, and asked rhetorically: "You have contributed so much to the queen's mother, and now you want to come to the Qi State Mansion and now you are bound to Zhao Zonghan.
can be the temperament of the county lord of Pingning, and he can make such a heavy bet, there should be some definite news.
Why don't you talk to me, and maybe I'll be willing to side with you after I hear that."
Qi Heng replied, "I don't know what my mother thinks.
But I know you're not that easily swept in, are you?"
Li Hao laughed when he heard this, and said, "Since you are doing this, why do you have to go on this trip today."
Qi Heng said, "The order of the queen mother, even though I know that this thing can't be done, I can't help but do it."
Seeing that Qi Heng's attitude was very honest, Li Hao simply asked tentatively: "Now the ministers who can often enter and leave the palace, except for the two ministers, should be the only one.
So I want to ask you what the situation is in the palace now, and can you tell me the truth."
For this question, Qi Heng did not answer, but directly refused: "The affairs in the palace, how can we, the courtiers, put their beaks.
However, I believe that as long as we can continue to fulfill our duties, then there will be no problems in the imperial court."
Hearing this kind of official answer, Li Hao was really too lazy to deal with it.
….
This answer was not what Li Hao wanted at all, so next, Li Hao tried to test it a few more times.
But no matter what Li Hao said, Qi Heng just didn't answer the question, which made Li Hao feel that it didn't take long for Qi Heng's IQ to rise.
Seeing that he really couldn't fool him, Li Hao also felt that Qi Heng had made some mistakes here, so he brought tea to the guests.
I have to say that Qi Heng still maintains a very good politeness and demeanor, seeing that Li Hao intends to send off guests, he is not entangled, and directly gets up and leaves.
However, as soon as Qi Heng left, just as Li Hao regained his train of thought, Yang Wenyuan ran over again.
After retiring from the crowd, I was in a hurry
said to Li Hao: "There is a problem with the front division of the palace, just now someone from the palace came and took away the waist card for entering and leaving the palace gate from my hand."
As soon as he heard this, Li Hao also had some fryers, the layout in the palace was extremely important, but now his own people can't enter the palace normally.
So once there is an emergency, how to control the situation inside the palace gate to a limited extent.
And Li Hao didn't understand that since Zhao Zhen had entrusted himself to be the final guarantee, how could he adjust his own people, so Li Hao never thought that there would be such a situation.
So he hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on, is there an edict from the official family that you want to hand it over, and who will take over?"
Yang Wenyuan replied: "There is an edict in the palace today, with the big seal of the official family on it.
In the edict, it was mentioned that they would pray for the blessings of the official family, including the plan to restart this year's league, saying that the official family had attached great importance to it and could not delay it because of this illness.
I also knew that I had experience in this area, so he directly asked me to preside over this matter.
As for the position, it is still reserved for me, but it is only said that Bi Zhongyou will temporarily act as the agent for this matter during this time, he is my superior, and this move is also reasonable."
Hearing this reason, Li Hao really felt that it was too, and it couldn't be believed at all.
The only thing that can be confirmed from this is that Bi Zhongyou seems to have chosen the Ming master, and there is a high probability that he has taken refuge in Zhao Zonghan.
Although I don't know how Queen Cao did this, she is the only one who can do this.
However, on this point, Li Hao was really a little wrong, in fact, driving Yang Wenyuan out of the palace was a joint decision of Empress Cao and Zhao Zongquan.
Both sides didn't want Li Hao to be such an unstable factor, and he still maintained a certain amount of strength in the palace.
After all, the lessons from the past are still there, and it was the first part of the imperial camp army that withstood the rebels in the palace, which gave Li Hao time to organize a counteroffensive outside.
Although neither side has any plans to use such extreme measures now, it is okay not to do anything, but the specific preparations must be complete.
So first, Zhao Ceying made an appointment with Zeng Chaosheng and expressed his intentions, asking him to find a way to temporarily drive Yang Wenyuan out of the palace and hand over the rights to others.
Regarding this point, Zeng Chaosheng said directly: "The adjustment of this candidate must be approved by the official.
And Yang Wenyuan is the person of the front division of the palace, how can I speak."
….
After hearing this, Zhao Ceying said, "Of course I understand what you said, and I won't deliberately embarrass you.
If you want to change the position of the Marquis of Yu, the former secretary of the palace, it will naturally require the consent of the official, but if you find an excuse to arrange something for Yang Wenyuan.
Then you can let Song Chaozhong directly take charge of the official affairs of his subordinates during this time in the name of the commander of the front division of the palace, so that things will be logical, and it will not be difficult to think about it in the official family.
And I think the queen mother is afraid that she also has an opinion on Li Hao, and you can do it if you agitate over there then, and you don't even want you to do it yourself."
Hearing this, Zeng Chaosheng's eyes lit up, to be honest, he also saw Yang Wenyuan upset during this time.
Although Yang Wenyuan has now kept a lot of low profile in the palace, as long as he thinks of the familiarity between Yang Wenyuan and most of the guards in the palace, Zeng Chaosheng feels very comfortable.
And the most important thing is that if he really encounters a sudden situation, Zeng Chaosheng still has to worry about encountering Yang Wenyuan's backstab.
If Yang Wenyuan can be driven out of the palace, it will be much easier for him to do things in the future.
As for Empress Cao's attitude, Zeng Chaosheng was also very clear, so he wasn't worried that she would object.
However, in front of Zhao Ceying, Zeng Chaosheng still had to pretend to be very embarrassed, and Zeng Chaosheng also wanted to test it to see what the situation was in Song Chaozhong.
So he said, "I can say something on the queen's side, but her attitude is really not easy to say.
Although they are now a little estranged, after all, Li Hao and Yang Wenyuan were both the people who entered the palace to rescue the driver, so the queen
What the mother thinks in her heart, no one can guarantee.
In addition, it is the Song Dynasty you mentioned, he and Li Hao have always been breathing out of the same nostril, don't finally drive Yang Wenyuan away in the end, but Li Hao can still control the situation in the palace."
Zhao Ceying replied, "You don't have to worry about Song Chaozhong's side, since I mentioned him to you, I naturally have a complete grasp.
As for Empress Cao's side, you try your best to try it first, and everyone will be happy if you succeed, if you don't succeed, then we'll think of other ways."
After Zeng Chaosheng and Zhao Ceying confirmed the matter, the two hurriedly separated so as not to be discovered.
After returning to the palace, Zeng Chaosheng pretended to be in the palace, turned around a few times and went to Ciyuan Palace, and found Queen Cao and talked about what had just arrived.
For Zhao Ceying's idea, Empress Cao also thinks it is very good.
After the conversation with Li Hao at the beginning, in fact, Empress Cao had the idea of rectifying the defense of the palace, so as to cut off all the Li Hao that had reached into the palace.
The only thing that made Empress Cao care was that Zhao Ceying said that Song Chaozhong had already sided with them.
You must know that the front division of the palace is too important, and the front division of the temple in the upper four armies accounts for two of the Japanese army and the Tianwu army, plus the other people in front of the palace who are straight, infantry, and cavalry.
Its overall military strength is even more prosperous than that of the Guards and Guards and Guards.
At the beginning, King Yan had already made such a big disturbance just by recruiting a few army commanders, if he really let the Song Dynasty start up, then the scene might not be controllable.
Zeng Chaosheng also understood Empress Cao's scruples, and on the way back, he was also thinking about this problem.
….
So he said, "Actually, the queen doesn't have to worry, although there is no way to transfer the Song Dynasty out now.
But in the Song Dynasty, even if he was the commander of the front division of the palace, many of the people under the command of the front division of the palace could not be mobilized if he wanted to.
You must know that most of Li Hao's old departments back then worked in the front division of the palace, plus the relationship between the British Duke and the Marquis Ning Yuan.
If the two of them spoke in unison, it might be easier to dispatch people, but if Li Hao knew that he had taken refuge in Zhao Zongquan, he would definitely draw a line with him.
He will even be wary of him, and there will not be many people he can really call on in this case."
After hearing this, Empress Cao nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable, it seems that Li Hao needs to be appeased a little more, and he must be kept neutral, so that he can be used as a weight to balance the situation.
I will arrange someone to handle this later, and the top priority now is how to deal with the palace guards.
If it is compared to Zhao Zongquan, I would still prefer to let Li Hao take charge of the palace ban."
Seeing that Empress Cao had the idea of retreating, Zeng Chaosheng was a little anxious, he really didn't want to be suppressed anymore, so he immediately said, "Actually, we don't need the two of them, we also have another candidate to use, that is, Bi Zhongyou, the deputy commander of the palace.
This person was in the front division of the palace, and he was sandwiched between Song Chaozhong and Li Hao at the beginning, but these two people were also relatively strong, so their reputation was not obvious.
Later, after Li Hao left, Yang Wenyuan took over the position of Marquis Yu, the former secretary of the palace, although the situation improved, but in fact he still did not hold any real power.
So I believe that as long as there is a suitable opportunity, then he will definitely seize it and get out of the current situation."
Empress Cao really didn't have any impression of this person, so she said, "Then you go and check this person, especially if there is anything to do with him and Zhao Zongquan.
If not, then we can try to win them over and use them for us."
Zeng Chaosheng naturally agreed, and then began to investigate.
After such an investigation, the final results showed that Bi Zhongyou and Zhao Zongquan really had nothing to do with each other.
So then Zeng Chaosheng arranged another private meeting between Bi Zhongyou and Empress Cao, and after Empress Cao personally confirmed Bi Zhongyou's loyalty, she began to arrange for him to take over Yang Wenyuan.
And so there it is
In the previous scene where Qi Heng and Yang Wenyuan came to find Li Hao, of course, Qi Heng's expression may have some problems, turning a good co-optation into a threat.
As for the way to deal with it, Li Hao doesn't have any good ways for the time being, so he can only do what they say first.
However, this incident also helped Li Hao solve a doubt, that is, the purpose of Qi Heng's trip, at least there should be no problems on Zhao Zhen's side.
After Yang Wenyuan left, Li Hao then found Gu Tingye and asked him to find a way to verify Bi Zhongyou's identity.
This matter is not over yet, but there was another problem on the third division's side, and Chen Shengzhi set off a thorough investigation.
Naturally, the Salt and Iron Division couldn't escape, so Li Hao could only devote a large amount of time to this place.
To be honest, Li Hao could guess that this was Chen Shengzhi's intention, just to drag himself here.
It's just that this matter is a yang conspiracy, and the things they ask for are all reasonable, even if Li Hao knows that their purpose is not pure, there is nothing he can do.
Naturally, the salt and iron division couldn't escape, so Li Hao was involved in this matter with a lot of energy.
It wasn't until he was busy for half a month that Gu Tingye re-boarded Li Hao's door and told Li Hao the results of the investigation.
To be honest, this result was really completely unexpected by Li Hao.
Originally, I thought that it was the snipe and the clam competing and the fisherman profiting, but now that I look at it, some people are catching cicadas on the praying mantis and yellow finches behind.
I don't know what Queen Cao is doing, she thinks she is secret, but in the end, no one hid it.
If it weren't for Li Hao's whim this time, Gu Tingye took the time to investigate, otherwise he was afraid that he might be in trouble.
From knowledge to strength
