Cao Jingxiu confirmed his sister's meaning, and after leaving the palace, he went to Li Hao's mansion in person.

In fact, as Cao Jingxiu said, Li Hao was still a little polite to this old boss, and personally went out of the mansion to introduce him into the mansion.

Of course, politeness is polite, but in view of Cao Jingxiu's status as an uncle, Li Hao was still a little wary before he understood his intention.

In order to prevent him from talking about Queen Cao, Li Hao deliberately talked about the old days with Cao Jingxiu and talked about the situation of working together.

tried to pull the topic far away, not giving Cao Jingxiu a chance to talk about things.

But Cao Jingxiu is also a person who has been crawling in the court, how can this kind of scene flicker him.

In the middle of the conversation, Cao Jingxiu found the opportunity and said, "I came today, in addition to wanting to catch up with you, there is another thing to help the queen mother bring a message, so that you can enter the palace tomorrow."

Hearing this, Li Hao really had a headache, worried that Empress Cao was looking for herself to express her position again.

It's just that no matter what the need is, Li Hao doesn't want to support Zhao Zonghan at this time.

Especially after Zhao Zhen had already said in front of him that he wanted to establish Zhao Zongquan, Li Hao would not choose Zhao Zonghan.

At the same time, Li Hao also wanted to persuade Empress Cao not to do anything wrong, so as not to wait for Zhao Zhen's death, he would not be a human being inside and out.

It's just that there are some things that are not good to say in front of Queen Cao, since Cao Jingxiu is here, Li Hao took the opportunity to say, "I also understand what the queen mother means.

To be honest, my current future is the love of the official family and the queen, and I am very grateful for this.

So today I want to say a few words abruptly, hoping that the queen will not be surprised."

Cao Jingxiu also wanted to hear what Li Hao really meant, so he took the opportunity to let Li Hao say.

"The matter of the inheritance of the throne should have been made by the officials and the cadres, and it was reasonable for the two prime ministers to take the lead in admonishing when there was no prince.

But now that the prince has been decided, I believe that the official family must have an idea in mind.

In that case, shouldn't other people get involved, lest they go against what the officials think, and won't they be wronged?"

After listening to Li Hao's words, Cao Jingxiu didn't feel anything, he just thought that Li Hao was still showing his attitude, saying that he only listened to Zhao Zhen's edict and would not participate in the battle for the crown prince, which happened to be the need of his sister.

So he simply got to the bottom and said, "Actually, the queen will summon you into the palace tomorrow, and that's what she said.

The queen also knows your embarrassment, and what she said to you at the beginning was indeed a little inappropriate.

So after some consideration, the queen doesn't want to be embarrassed with you, as long as you can stay neutral.

When you enter the palace, the queen will tell you in detail."

Of course, what I said just now also means this, but isn't the point on listening to the words of the official?

Seeing that Cao Jingxiu didn't understand, Li Hao had no choice, anyway, he had already reminded him, and he could be regarded as doing his best.

However, if Empress Cao wants to keep herself neutral this time, then she can go to the palace this time.

As for the struggle between Empress Cao and Zhao Zongquan later, Li Hao planned to watch the fire from the other side. ….

So he promised Cao Jingxiu that he would definitely enter the palace on time tomorrow.

Hearing Li Hao's reply, Cao Jingxiu was relieved, at least the purpose of this time was successfully completed, and depending on Li Hao's meaning, he really had no intention of taking refuge in Zhao Zongquan.

Now that they have reached an agreement on this matter, the two will talk happily next, and Li Hao plans to leave Cao Jingxiu after dinner.

However, Cao Jingxiu said that he would go back to the palace to report first, so Li Haocai did not stay long, but personally sent Cao Jingxiu outside the mansion.

After sending people away, Li Hao planned to go back to the study and integrate the existing information.

Although Li Hao did not intend to intervene in their struggle, it was still necessary to plan for the current situation and possible changes in the future, and to be aware of it.

Of course, you can't do this by yourself behind closed doors, anyway

Now that I've been kicked out of the game early, I can get some things openly, so maybe it can be more reassuring.

So Li Hao simply sent someone to make a post, inviting Yang Wenyuan, Gu Tingye, Yuan Wenshao, and Zhang Wen to come over tomorrow night to talk about it, and he will definitely come out of the palace by then.

As soon as the post was written by hand, after Fu Deng took it away, Zhang Guifen walked in with the fruit in person.

Seeing this, Li Hao hurriedly got up and said, "Why is Madam here, it's windy today, so you should have a good rest in the room."

After speaking, he took the fruit and put it on the table.

Zhang Guifen replied, "I've been recuperating in my room for more than a month, and it's time to move.

Today, I heard that Uncle Cao Guo came to see the father-in-law, and it seems that they are still having a good conversation, but I don't know what they talked about."

Hearing this, Li Hao immediately knew, it seemed that Zhang Guifen was a little worried, so he thought of inquiring.

After all, he told her about the things in the palace, and he knew that Zhao Zhen was not interested in Zhao Zonghan.

This time, I heard that I had a good conversation with Cao Jingxiu, so I was naturally a little worried that I might be carried away by Empress Cao's promise.

Regarding his wife's worries, although Li Hao felt that it was unnecessary, he still had to accept this heart.

So Li Hao grabbed Zhang Guifen's hand and pulled him closer to sit directly on his lap.

Li Hao's sudden move made Zhang Guifen, who was born in a beautiful girl, very unaccustomed to it, and struggled to get up.

It's just that women's strength can't compare to men's strength after all, and Zhang Guifen tried hard several times in vain.

So he struggled and said, "What is this doing, husband, for others to see, like this?"

Li Hao said in Zhang Guifen's ear at this time: "You and I are husband and wife, this is in our own house, and we haven't done anything out of the ordinary, what are we afraid of people seeing."

Then Li Hao teased Zhang Guifen again, and after making her red-faced, Li Hao stopped and got down to business.

"I know what is going on in the palace, after all, I have you and my children now, and my parents need to take care of me, and I won't let you take risks.

Cao Jingxiu came today to convey the will of the queen mother, let me enter the palace tomorrow.

However, according to him, the queen just wants me to remain neutral this time, and she doesn't need me to support anyone."

This situation surprised Zhang Guifen a little, and she asked directly, "Could it be that the queen has already figured it out and doesn't want to nominate anyone." ….

Li Hao shook his head and said, "I don't think so, but it's not our business.

Madame, rest assured, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke, other troubles will not easily fall on us, otherwise it will be someone else who is unlucky."

For these words, Li Hao is still quite confident.

Li Hao's appearance is also very attractive in Zhang Guifen's eyes, and he seems to have forgotten his struggle for a while.

When holding Zhang Guifen like this, looking at her pretty face, Li Hao couldn't help but feel that his body was hot and his index finger moved.

Since Zhang Guifen became pregnant, it has been more than a year now, and Li Hao has been very clean during this time.

Originally, when he was in Shudi, he was focused on official business, but after returning to Beijing, he was attracted by the battle for the crown prince, so he didn't notice anything.

But now that the spring in his arms is moving, Li Hao's mind can't help but move, after all, he is a person who has tasted meat, and Zhang Guifen is almost recuperating now.

So Li Hao directly picked up Zhang Guifen and said, "Madame, it's not early in the morning, or the two of us should rest early."

When Zhang Guifen heard this, she immediately understood what Li Hao meant, and replied a little shyly: "It's still bright this day, and my son is still in the yard."

Seeing Zhang Guifen's shy and timid appearance, Li Hao couldn't help it even more, picked up his clothes belt and blindfolded Zhang Guifen's eyes.

said directly: "Madame, this is dazzling, it is obviously dark this day, where is it lit."

After speaking, he got up with Zhang Guifen in his arms and walked directly to his courtyard, and by the way, he asked Qiu Yun to go to the courtyard in advance, and sent the child directly to Wei's and let him stay there for one night.

After that, the spring night was bitter and short, and the king did not go to court early, and after a night of hard work, Li Hao sent someone to take leave in advance.

Of course, Yan Tiesi could not go, but Empress Cao could not be absent, so after noon, Li Hao went to the palace.

This time, Empress Cao's attitude towards Li Hao is no longer the original aggressiveness, and her words have eased a lot.

As soon as they met, Empress Cao and Li Hao started a family routine and asked, "Your child should be two months old now, I don't know if the child's name is good."

Li Hao said: "It has been taken, a single name is a word of sincerity, honest sincerity, Li Cheng."

Empress Cao muttered for a moment before she said, "Sincerity, gold and stone are open, this word sincerity is indeed well chosen.

Originally, when the full moon wine was held, the official family and I also planned to give a reward.

It's just that the official family suddenly fell seriously ill, so I didn't care about it, and now it's time to make up for it.

I have already gone to the official family to determine the reward for this matter, and your family is already wealthy, and it doesn't matter if you simply give money and money, so I will give your child a shadow seal as a school scholar."

When he first heard this, Li Hao was still a little strange, although this school scrivener was only at the last rank of the official rank.

But the reward to this newborn child still represents a lot of significance.

Don't think that watching TV is as if it is easy to get a shade seal as long as someone in the family is an official. ….

You must know that Li Hao is not in the Northern Song Dynasty in history, and the shadow sealing system here has not been completely flooded like that, and one person can ascend to heaven as an official.

It is more similar to the Tang Dynasty, where only officials above the third rank can shade their great-grandchildren, and officials above the fifth rank can only shade their grandchildren, and there are strict requirements in the specific review.

This also leads to the difficulty of obtaining the shade seal, so there is a situation like Liang Han, who waits until very late to get the opportunity to shade the seal.

Although Li Hao hopes that his children can enter the imperial examination in the future, after all, it is easier for those who have a background in the imperial examination to gain a foothold in the court.

But this does not prevent Li Hao from helping him arrange a back road first, in case he doesn't do well, there is a way out, and he can also receive a fortune from a young age, but there is not much money.

So Li Hao got up and thanked, "Thank you to the official family and the queen, and Weichen is grateful."

Seeing this, Empress Cao immediately said, "Don't be so polite, this is what you deserve.

The decree has been sent to the middle book, and it should be delivered to your house in two days."

After saying this, the atmosphere between the two changed again.

Seeing this opportunity, Empress Cao continued, "What I said to you some time ago is indeed a little wrong.

Naturally, the affairs in this palace should be handled by the palace, and it is indeed a little difficult for you to come forward to make a decision."

Li Hao heard Empress Cao get to the point, and immediately replied: "Thank you for the understanding of the queen, the minister is now serving in the third division, and the affairs in the palace are indeed not managed."

After listening to Li Hao's statement, Empress Cao was not satisfied, after all, her other purpose was to let Li Hao stabilize the camp in the western suburbs.

So Empress Cao continued, "I naturally believe what you say.

It's just that I'm worried that some people, who don't understand the actual situation, may do something irrational.

Especially in the military, this is very likely to happen, so I want you to help take care of it."

In fact, what Empress Cao said was exactly what Li Hao wanted to do, after all, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, was forced to wear a yellow robe in Chen Qiaoyi by relying on the generals.

Of course, it is not excluded that the real situation is a play directed and acted by Zhao Kuangyin.

But even so, Li Hao was still a little worried

Some of them will come to a play and put themselves in a very awkward position.

Therefore, restraining the people and horses of the camp in the western suburbs is also what Li Hao wants to do, and at the same time, Li Hao will also mobilize Yang Wenyuan and Gu Tingye together.

Of course, there is no need to say so much to Empress Cao, but she just promised: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, although I am not serving in the western suburbs camp now, I also have some relatives and friends among them.

I will talk to them to ensure the stability of the camp in the western suburbs, and we will never let the bad guys take advantage of it."

Seeing Li Hao so upright, Queen Cao was still quite pleased, and then praised Li Hao again before letting Li Hao leave the palace.

After returning home, Li Hao first went back to the room to see his wife, after all, she was tired last night, and when Li Hao got up and left the house, she was still asleep on the bed.

But at this time, he was naturally already dressed up and was teasing the child in the room.

Seeing Li Hao come in suddenly, his face turned red, and he remembered what happened last night, and he couldn't help but slap Li Hao for a night.

This sudden style made Li Hao's heart flutter, but this situation made Li Hao feel that his resistance to beauty was getting weaker and weaker.

But Li Hao still reacted quickly, after all, he had just finished his hard work yesterday, and he had to slow down today.

So he just sat next to Zhang Guifen and reached out to fiddle with his son, but it made him cry again.

Seeing this, Zhang Guifen hurriedly picked up the child and comforted him softly.

finally comforted the child, and after putting it in the cradle, he complained to Li Hao, "What are you doing, it was just hard to get the child right.

Later, if you make the child cry again, you can coax it directly."

If he had heard this before, Li Hao would have usually retreated, but today is different.

I saw Li Hao say, "Today, I helped him get the official of the school secretary, so I can tease him too."

Hearing the news, Zhang Guifen was not happy at the first time, but thought that Li Hao had agreed to what conditions Queen Cao had agreed to in exchange for this reward.

He immediately said, "Why does Empress Cao have this reward, it is ......."

From knowledge to strength
