Seeing that Li Hao didn't do anything harmful to the Great Song Dynasty because he wanted to deal with Chen Shengzhi after all, Ouyang Xiu was still a little relieved.

Immediately said, "Since you have made a plan, then I will also come to help you, even if he finds Han Qi to come forward, I can make him trouble for a while.

However, even if this matter is due to him, you, as a salt and iron envoy, are afraid that it will also be implicated."

Li Hao replied, "Uncle, don't worry, I have already thought about this before I did it.

I had deliberately argued with him in front of everyone against his patrols.

It's nothing more than trying to clear up the relationship, lest he and Han Qi smash the black cauldron on my head at that time.

I'm now guilty of negligence, and at most a reprimand and a fine.

And punished me, so what should I do with Chen Shengzhi, who is more responsible this time?"

Obviously, this problem has to be considered by Han Qi, and this is also Li Hao's plan, it is always cost-effective to exchange small for big.

Of course, if Chen Shengzhi wants to make a big deal, he can naturally do it.

As long as the Privy Council can get through the relationship and move the limited time back, it would be fine, but this would have to pass Ouyang Xiu, the privy envoy.

So today, Li Hao specially came to Ouyang Xiu, just to ask him to come to Kaka Chen Shengzhi, so that he could free his hands.

Seeing that Li Hao's side was already ready, Ouyang Xiu didn't say anything more.

Originally, after finishing the matter, Li Hao planned to get up and leave.

As a result, when I walked to the door, I suddenly remembered that I didn't seem to have asked about anything.

When he turned around and came back, he made Ouyang Xiu, who was picking up the teacup and preparing to drink tea, quite helpless.

I can only say, "What's wrong with you, is it possible that there is something for me to do."

Li Hao replied, "No, no, I just want to ask what the situation is in the northwest.

My mother-in-law and my mother-in-law are concerned and want to know how long it will take for my father-in-law to return."

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu didn't think much about it, and replied directly: "A few days ago, the northwest sent back a military report, which mentioned that the northwest is still stable now.

Although the Western Xia side stationed men and horses in Yinzhou and Hongzhou, they did not invade, and it may have been the time for the British to go.

So you go back and reassure the Duchess, as for the return date, it is not certain for the time being."

After that, Li Hao didn't have any more questions to ask, so he left.

On the other side, Chen Shengzhi also got the news at this time and knew that Li Hao had gone to Ouyang Xiuna.

It turned out that those who followed Li Hao all the way were sent out by Chen Shengzhi.

There was a sudden accident in the stomach hospital, and Chen Shengzhi originally suspected that it was Li Hao's ghost, but he didn't dare to confirm it at first.

As a result, Li Hao suddenly came over to Xingshi today to ask for the guilt, which made Chen Shengzhi feel more and more that he was right.

So after Li Hao left, he immediately sent a few people to follow from afar to see where Li Hao would go next.

Now that he knew the result, he thought that his suspicions were right, and thought that this matter might be due to Ouyang Xiu's instructions.

Originally, Chen Shengzhi didn't plan to trouble Han Qi, but now that Ouyang Xiu was involved, he had to tell Han Qi, and he could also dump the pot on Han Qi and let him solve the matter, killing two birds with one stone.

So he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the car and went straight to Han Qi's mansion.

Han Qi saw Chen Shengzhi entering the mansion under the leadership of his subordinates, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you free to come to my mansion today."

As a result, Chen Shengzhi immediately said, "Great Minister, Ouyang Xiu has made a move."

As soon as he heard this, Han Qi directly stirred up and asked, "What did Ouyang Xiu do, tell me quickly."

Chen Shengzhi explained: "Some time ago, the Prime Minister didn't ask me to find a way to arrange more things for Li Hao, so that he didn't have the heart to pay attention to other places, and then I took the opportunity to arrange a round of inspections.

Unexpectedly, Li Hao, with the support of Ouyang Xiu, took the opportunity of the inspection to destroy most of the weapons that were about to be completed on the stomach courtyard.

Now it's up to the Privy Council

When the hospital demanded delivery, it seemed that they were planning to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble."

When Han Qi heard Chen Shengzhi's complaint, he didn't express his position immediately, but asked, "How can you confirm that this matter was instructed by Ouyang Xiu, have you found anything?"

Chen Shengzhi replied: "Originally, I was only a little suspicious before today, but today Li Hao deliberately ran in front of me to provoke trouble.

It alerted me, so I sent someone to follow him secretly, only to see him go straight to see Ouyang Xiu.

If it hadn't been premeditated, Li Hao would have rarely gone to Ouyang Xiuna during this time, so how could he go there today.

From this, I concluded that Li Hao must have been instructed by Ouyang Xiu to think of opening the gap from the Third Division."

At first glance, all this that Chen Shengzhi said seemed to have some truth, but Han Qi didn't believe it very much in his heart.

It's just that Zhao Zongquan didn't have any support from important ministers on his side, and Chen Shengzhi, the third envoy, was in charge of financial power, and the importance of it was obvious.

So Han Qi simply answered, "If this matter is deliberately arranged by Ouyang Xiu, then he will definitely not let go easily.

If you want to get through this hurdle, I'm afraid it's going to be a bit difficult."

Chen Shengzhi seemed free and easy at this time, and replied, "Actually, if it were me, what would it matter if I couldn't pass this level.

I'm mainly worried that Ouyang Xiu and Li Hao are doing this for another purpose.

If it affects the prince's and the great minister's plans, I will die."

This is a high-sounding statement, but in the final analysis, I still want Han Qi to take care of it.

Han Qi naturally understood this truth, but now he really couldn't put Chen Shengzhi aside, so he could only say:

"It's a possibility, so we have to be careful during this time.

In this way, you can see Ouyang Xiu first tomorrow and test his attitude.

Then we'll talk back and see what to do with it."

Seeing that Han Qi agreed to take it, Chen Shengzhi's heart suddenly became much more steady, and finally someone came to take the blame.

However, even if he was anxious, Chen Shengzhi did not go to the Privy Council, but waited until Ouyang Xiu went to the palace, and went directly to Ouyang Xiu's mansion.

After all, although this matter is a business matter, Chen Shengzhi doesn't want to do it as a business matter, otherwise if Ouyang Xiu finds an opportunity, he will not be able to use the topic to play.

Regarding Chen Shengzhi's thoughts, Ouyang Xiu, an old fox, naturally knew it.

So before Chen Shengzhi came, Ouyang Xiu had already made a plan and was ready to dry him first.

Anyway, the third division didn't officially report the situation, so he had the right to assume that he didn't know about it at all, so let Chen Shengzhi be anxious for a while.

So as soon as Chen Shengzhi entered the mansion, Ouyang Xiu immediately said enthusiastically: "Uncle Yang, you came here at a good time today, I am preparing to make a pot of new tea.

I recently bought some small dragon and phoenix group tea, and its quality is excellent.

And today there is also spring water taken from Xiaoquan Mountain, and it is wonderful to use it to make tea, and you will have a good day today."

Immediately, without waiting for Chen Shengzhi to speak, he directly led Chen Shengzhi to the chair and sat down.

Then he ordered someone to take the spring water and tea leaves, personally brewed tea for Chen Shengzhi, and completely demonstrated a set of rigorous tea ordering steps among scholars and doctors.

Starting from grinding tea, to Luo tea, Hou Tang, Tin, and tea, the step-by-step operation is dazzling, anyway, it is estimated that Li Hao will do it, and he will definitely not be able to do it.

But Ouyang Xiu did it well, and even had the leisure to observe Chen Shengzhi's state.

Whenever Chen Shengzhi wanted to speak, Ouyang Xiu asked Chen Shengzhi to calm down, saying that he would talk about it when the tea was ready.

There was no way, Chen Shengzhi had no choice but to sit there and watch Ouyang Xiu show off his skills.

Finally waited until the tea was ready, and just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Ouyang Xiu again, saying, "Don't worry, this tea should be tasted while it is hot, and it will lose a little taste when it is cold."

The latest chapters of the book on multiple sites. 】

As he spoke, he poured out two lamps, handed one to Chen Shengzhi, and took the other one up and tasted it himself.

I closed my eyes while tasting it, and I seemed to be intoxicated by the fragrance of tea.

Although Chen Shengzhi was anxious, it was not good to speak at this time, so he could only helplessly pick up the tea cup and taste the tea.

Not to mention that this taste is indeed extraordinary, it is indeed the taste in that memory, speaking of which, this little dragon group Chen Shengzhi has drunk it twice in the palace.

Seeing that Ouyang Xiu was still there and closed his eyes, Chen Shengzhi simply poured another one for himself after drinking it.

After drinking it again, pour it again, and by the time Ouyang Xiu opened his eyes, this pot of tea had already made Chen Shengzhi drink more than half of it.

couldn't help but say to Chen Shengzhi: "Uncle Yang is so good, he doesn't like it, but he wastes my little dragon group."

Regarding Ouyang Xiu's words, Chen Shengzhi did not refute them, apologized directly, and seized the opportunity to say by the way: "That foolish brother doesn't drink such good tea, this time I am happy to see Hunting, and I ask Ouyang Xiu to forgive my sins."

"In addition, Brother Fool took the liberty to come here today because he wanted to ask Brother Ouyang for help."

Chen Shengzhi had already been dried just now, and Ouyang Xiu didn't plan to gag him anymore at this time.

But the lake tu that should be installed still has to be pretended, so he asked, "Oh, Uncle Yang serves in the Third Division, and most of the people he deals with on weekdays are people from the political affairs hall.

In addition, you are close to Han Daxianggong, why didn't you ask Han Daxianggong for help for this matter, but came to me."

Chen Shengzhi naturally knew that Ouyang Xiu was talking to himself, after all, Li Hao came in person last time.

To say that Li Hao didn't tell Han Qi anything at that time, Chen Shengzhi could jump into the Yellow River.

But since Ouyang Xiu didn't know, Chen Shengzhi also knew what he wanted, and said directly: "I am quite close to Han Daxianggong, but my friendship with Uncle Yong is shallow.

And this time the matter happens to implicate the Privy Council, if I don't look for you, the privy councillor, who else can I find."

After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu continued to pretend, "Oh, there is something related to my Privy Council, you just say, if I can help, I will do my best."

Chen Shengzhi then said: "This is not some time ago, there was a big problem with the Division of the Branch and the Department of Households.

I thought about conducting an inspection of these two divisions, but leaving aside the salt and iron divisions alone, I was worried that others would misunderstand me and think that I was deliberately biased, so I simply checked these three yamen together.

But in the process, it seems that there was some misunderstanding with Li Hao, and then something happened."

After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu avoided the important and said directly, "This matter is indeed Li Hao's fault, and he failed to comprehend your kindness.

But Li Hao is younger after all, how can he understand these golden means, you can forgive me.

Don't worry, I'll bring Li Hao to teach me a lesson tomorrow, and I'll make him apologize to you, what do you think?"

Seeing that Ouyang Xiu just didn't go to business, Chen Shengzhi could only go on his own.

"That's not necessary, I'm also responsible for this matter, just wait for me to talk to him one day.

It's just that during this inspection, there was a little accident, which caused the batch of weapons requested by the Privy Council to not be completed on time, and I have come here today mainly for this matter."

Ouyang Xiu pretended to have a sudden realization at this time, and said, "It turned out that it was for this matter, you said it earlier.

The request under the Privy Council must have been carefully considered and given a sufficient time limit.

But since there was a small accident, it was okay to work for two or three days later."

In fact, Chen Shengzhi had expected it for a long time, knowing that Ouyang Xiu would definitely not let himself pass the test so easily.

So listening to this, he naturally understood that Ouyang Xiu was pretending to be a lake, waiting for himself to come up.

Chen Shengzhi really didn't want to stay here at this time, but when he thought of Han Qi, he still had to have an explanation.

I can't say that I came on this trip, but in the end, I didn't find out what happened, so I went back by myself.

So he simply said: "This date is estimated that two or three days is not enough, and a batch needs to be reworked.

It will take about ten days."

Ouyang Xiu was embarrassed and said, "This batch of weapons is going to be transported to the northwest, and there are strict requirements for a time limit.

It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't squeeze in the past ten days."

After speaking, Ouyang Xiu sighed and began to bow his head and ponder.

Seeing this, Chen Shengzhi didn't want to stay here longer, so he decided to go back to find Han Qi.

When he got up and said, "This matter has embarrassed Brother Ouyang, so you have the right to say goodbye to me if I haven't been here today."

After saying that, turn around and leave.

This decisive attitude made Ouyang Xiu stunned, originally Ouyang Xiu had prepared a lot of dramas, planning to give Chen Shengzhi a good life to play a wave, but this guy didn't give him room to show his acting skills.

However, in the end, Chen Shengzhi did not succeed, because Ouyang Xiu's main purpose was to drag Chen Shengzhi and let Li Hao be free to do things.

So no matter whether Chen Shengzhi broke the jar or had another scheme, Ouyang Xiu had to stop it and try to keep pulling.

So before Chen Shengzhi could take two steps, he was pulled back by Ouyang Xiu and said, "Forget it, you and I have been friends for many years after all.

Although you have gone a little further in recent years, you have encountered difficulties and come to me for help, and I really have no reason to refuse.

I'll help you deal with this matter, but if you want to calm it down completely, I'm afraid that Li Hao still won't be able to get around."

To be honest, Chen Shengzhi was a little unruly at this time, and he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Ouyang Xiu's gourd, so why did he suddenly agree.

The brain was still spinning, but his mouth automatically answered, "Why is this related to Li Hao again?"

Ouyang Xiu explained, "This matter is not only involving the Privy Council, but also the northwest side.

If it was on weekdays, it would naturally be fine, after all, even if those generals in the northwest knew about it, they wouldn't dare to say anything.

But now it is the British Duke who is in charge of affairs in the northwest, and he is not good under his nose.

It just so happened that Li Hao was the son-in-law of the British father-in-law, so he asked him to come forward to explain to the British father-in-law, and it was not good for the British father-in-law to embarrass his son-in-law."

Chen Shengzhi really didn't know how to answer this, so he had to say, "But Li Hao can help me over there!"

Ouyang Xiu replied, "Li Hao's side will be handed over to me, you can rest assured."

After saying this, what else could Chen Shengzhi say, he could only say, "Then everything will trouble Brother Ouyang."

After the words were spoken, Ouyang Xiu pulled Chen Shengzhi in to eat again.

By the time he was almost drunk, it was already dark, but Chen Shengzhi did not go home immediately, but went to Han Qi's mansion.

After all, now Chen Shengyi has a stomach question, if he doesn't discuss it with Han Qi, he probably won't be able to sleep at night.
