When Han Qi heard Chen Shengzhi's words, he was also quite strange, and he didn't understand Ouyang Xiu's intention to do this.

Looking at Chen Shengzhi on the side again, he couldn't help but speculate in his heart, could it be that Ouyang Xiu wanted to use this matter to win over Chen Shengzhi.

But this method of slapping and then giving a sweet date is too petty, and it is too small to despise himself and Chen Shengzhi by doing so.

Han Qi felt that Ouyang Xiu should not be able to do this, but he couldn't think of other purposes.

Now it was the critical juncture when Zhao Zhen was seriously ill, and Han Qi didn't think that Ouyang Xiu would do anything meaningless, so he frowned and fell into deep thought.

Han Qi's move startled Chen Shengzhi on the side, after all, as soon as he finished speaking, Han Qi's face immediately changed.

immediately thought that he had fallen for some strategy, but Chen Shengzhi didn't notice the problem no matter how he thought about it.

I was about to ask Han Qi for a question, but seeing Han Qi like that, it was not easy to disturb, so I could only wait on the side.

As a result, the more anxious I waited, the more anxious I became, the more afraid I became, and I thought about the situation after I lost my official position and resigned.

Then he finally waited for Han Qi to come back to his senses, and then hurriedly said, "Great Minister, what is the deep meaning of Ouyang Xiu's move, should the lower officials go to the official family to ask for leniency."

Hearing such sudden words, Han Qi was stunned for a moment and replied, "Didn't Ouyang Xiu say that he would help you, and I won't sit idly by here, just relax."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Shengzhi blurted out without thinking.

"Ouyang Xiu really wants to help me, not to plot to harm me."

After finishing speaking, Chen Shengzhi regretted it, it was obvious that he was thinking too much, and he scared himself.

Of course, Han Qi also figured it out at this time, so he explained, "Just now I was just thinking about Ouyang Xiu's intention to do this, although I haven't thought of it yet.

But at this time, he won't go out of his way to target you, so you can rest assured.

In addition, I hope you can take this opportunity to get in touch with Ouyang Xiu and test what he really wants to do.

By the way, try his attitude to see if he is willing to support the eldest prince to inherit the throne."

Regarding Han Qi's request, Chen Shengzhi naturally wouldn't object, but said, "But if it's up to me to say this, I'm afraid Ouyang Xiu won't care."

Han Qi replied, "Don't worry about this, you are just going to test the situation, if he really wants to, then I will naturally talk to him with the eldest prince."

After confirming this, Han Qi didn't forget to ask what to do on Li Hao's side.

"If I go to Ouyang Xiu a lot in the future, there is no one else in the three divisions who can suppress Li Hao, what will happen to Li Hao's side next then?"

Han Qi replied, "I didn't plan to do anything to Li Hao in the first place, I just wanted him to have no time to be distracted and have no time to go to the camp in the western suburbs.

But Li Hao is obviously dissatisfied with this matter this time, there is no need to make enemies at this stage, let's let it go first."

This is exactly what Chen Sheng wants, after all, judging from this situation, if Li Hao really tosses up, most of the bad luck will be himself.

Ouyang Xiu, on his side, showed great concern about Chen Shengzhi's affairs on the surface. ….

On the second day, when he went to the office, he sent someone to the third division and brought a message to Chen Shengzhi.

After asking Chen Shengzhi to release the government, he went to the mansion again, and said that Li Hao would also go today, taking this opportunity to let the two of them release their previous suspicions.

Of course, Chen Shengzhi has no opinion on this, he can end this matter as soon as possible, and he will save himself from worrying about when something will happen, so he readily promised to arrive on time.

After getting the reply, the next person went to Li Hao again and said the same thing.

Of course, Li Hao himself knew the inside story, so he naturally understood Ouyang Xiu's intentions, and even said that he would go.

After going down, Li Hao still pretended to be dissatisfied with Chen Shengzhi.

Although they were traveling on the same road, they still deliberately went out early, and left directly without waiting for Chen Shengyi.

Chen Shengzhi's side is ready to be together, also

specially sent someone to wait outside the yamen, but this person didn't catch up with Li Hao's speed.

But there wasn't much time between the two, and they just arrived one after another.

And Ouyang Xiu also came back early today, waiting for the two of them in the mansion.

However, when the three of them sat together in the main hall, the atmosphere was somewhat strange.

Seeing this situation, Ouyang Xiu immediately said, "The reason why I came to the two of you today is already known to you, and today I want to take this opportunity to resolve your contradictions."

After finishing speaking, he first faced Li Hao: "Uncle Yang is the envoy of the three divisions, and he has the right to manage the three divisions.

Although the Salt and Iron Division has been inspected several times these days, the other two Divisions are in the same situation, and Uncle Yang has no intention of targeting you."

Then he didn't forget to signal to Chen Shengzhi and asked, "Uncle Yang, what I said is right."

Chen Shengzhi naturally knew that he was deliberately targeting, but when he heard Ouyang Xiu's words, he still replied categorically: "This is natural, I just wanted to make Sansi better, and I never thought of targeting anyone."

Ouyang Xiu then said to Li Hao, "Yes, you are going too smoothly this way, but whenever you are wronged, you feel that you have suffered a big loss, and it is someone else's deliberate doing.

Uncle Yang is a loyal and upright gentleman, don't always spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

When Li Hao heard this, he was naturally full of grievances, and he even had to refute it.

Chen Shengzhi on the side also saw that something was wrong at this time, thinking to himself what Ouyang Xiu was preparing to do, didn't this provoke Li Hao to rebel?

But before Li Hao could speak, Ouyang Xiu said, "Why, if I say a few words to you, you will be unhappy."

Hearing this, Li Hao could only say anything, "Don't dare, it's just that this matter is not what I want to provoke, why is the problem all here now."

Ouyang Xiu replied, "I didn't say that it was all your problem, because even if Uncle Yang didn't have this intention, the people below would inevitably be biased.

In addition, since you entered the court, you have been extremely eye-catching, so it is naturally easy to attract villains, and I think Uncle Yang will also give you an explanation for this matter."

After hearing this, Chen Shengzhi hurriedly agreed: "This matter is indeed possible, I will definitely investigate it strictly after I go back, and I will definitely find out who is secretly provoking, and I will definitely give you an explanation." ….

Since the words had already been said to this point, Ouyang Xiu began to prepare to wrap up, so he looked at Li Hao and pretended to exert pressure.

Li Hao also took the opportunity to say, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll wait for Lord Chen's news."

Seeing that Li Hao was relieved, the atmosphere in the audience suddenly eased up.

Next, Ouyang Xiu did not directly start the following topic, but prepared a table of wine and food first.

After three rounds of drinking, Ouyang Xiu continued, "By the way, I recently heard the news that the Stomach Courtyard had accidentally destroyed a batch of ordnance that was about to be completed.

And that batch of ordnance happened to be wanted by the northwest side, and it was made by the Privy Council Salt and Iron Division, is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Chen Shengzhi immediately sobered up, but he also understood that he didn't say this to himself.

Sure enough, Li Hao answered at this time: "There is indeed this matter, and there happened to be some unrelated people who appeared in the South Workshop at that time, which caused this incident."

Ouyang Xiucai didn't care what Li Hao said, as long as he answered.

"If such a thing really happened, then why didn't you come to me earlier, did you have to wait for the official family to condemn you.

Fortunately, I have learned about the situation from other places, and I have already said hello about it, so there is no need to worry about it here in the Privy Council.

But in the northwest, you still need to write a letter to the British duke, and let him help you take care of it."

Hearing this, Li Hao immediately said, "This ......"

Ouyang Xiu said, "What is this, this matter is related to the three divisions, not only you, but Uncle Yang as the envoy of the three divisions will also be implicated.

By doing this, you are not only helping yourself, but also helping Uncle Yang, and I think Uncle Yang will thank you as well."

Chen Shengzhi immediately said, "That's true, as long as Master Li properly concludes this matter, I am naturally grateful.

The inspection of the other three divisions has been completely completed, and the results of the salt and iron division are excellent, and I will definitely report to the official family truthfully."

Seeing that Chen Shengzhi had already relented, Li Hao also agreed to the matter.

At this point, this matter deliberately made by Li Hao is completely over.

Although it did not cause substantial harm to Chen Shengzhi and Han Qi, they focused their attention on Ouyang Xiu, so that Li Hao could plan everything more calmly, which could be regarded as a success.

And Gu Tingye's progress was also quite smooth, and he roughly listed those who took refuge in Zhao Zongquan.

Two of them came out of the imperial army, which also proved that Li Hao's worries at that time were right, and the original team was not all reliable.

As for Yang Wenyuan, because the league is about to start, there are already a lot of things.

In addition, Zhao Zhen's apparent physical improvement coincided with the fact that it was after agreeing to the opening of the league, so Zhao Zhen thought that the league was a good omen, so he increased the reward.

The original reward for the first place was changed to the Zhiguo Captain of the Seventh Grade, which was one level higher than the Yilu Captain who was awarded the title of Gu Tingye when he presided over the league.

Hearing this news, those who signed up for the event were crazy with joy, and those who didn't sign up before were also enthusiastic to sign up in order to earn a profit.

For a while, because there were too many people to participate, the price of Bianjing's good horses was raised. ….

In addition, those who can play polo or keju are also in short supply.

If it weren't for the fact that the start time of the game was not a few days away, I was afraid that these people would have to invite masters from the Daimyo's Mansion and Yingtianfu to help them fight.

But that's fine, after all, this kind of liveliness in the capital has attracted most people's attention, and it has also made it convenient for Li Hao to investigate the situation.

In addition to Li Hao, other people who have a heart are naturally also in the activity.

On the day of the official opening of the league, it was really empty, whether it was ordinary people or high-ranking officials and nobles, they all flocked to the tournament venue.

Of course, the people on both sides are still clearly divided, and the dignitaries and nobles naturally rode directly into the arena in a carriage and sat and waited for the game to start.

Ordinary people are wandering around the field, and there are even many people who pick things up and come over and do some small business directly outside.

And because there are too many participants this time, in order to be able to complete the game as soon as possible, we can only try to extend the daily game time, more than a few games.

After a long time, eating and drinking with so many people is naturally a big business.

After learning that there was money to be made here, more people came here to do business, so a small market was formed outside during the competition.

For a while, it made Jin Ming's pool lively, but in the excitement here, Zhao Zhen's body deteriorated again, and he fell directly on the bed, unconscious for a while.

Empress Cao immediately summoned Imperial Physician Song over and took Zhao Zhen's pulse, while she watched from the side.

When she checked the pulse again, Imperial Doctor Song kept frowning, and this scene made Empress Cao feel uneasy.

After Imperial Physician Song finished taking the pulse, he was about to speak, but was interrupted by Empress Cao.

I only heard Empress Cao say, "Except for Imperial Doctor Song, everyone else has gone out, and you can also go outside to watch, and no one is allowed to enter the Funing Hall without my order."

After everyone was ordered to retreat, Empress Cao asked, "What's wrong with the official family, it's fine in the morning, but it's suddenly unconscious."

Imperial Physician Song replied, "The official family just returned to the light a few days ago, but in fact, the pulse has already been vain, and the qi and blood have been lost.

This coma is a sign of exhaustion of qi and blood, and now the official family is afraid that it will not survive for seven days."

Although she had been prepared in her heart, Queen Cao still couldn't stand it, and her eyes suddenly turned black.

Seeing this, Imperial Physician Song hurriedly stepped forward to help, helped Empress Cao to sit down on a chair, and gave Empress Cao a pulse.

However, there was nothing wrong with Queen Cao's body, but she couldn't accept it, and her blood was surging for a while.

Then he said, "Queen Mother, you are slippery and strong, and you are weak in inches, thinking that you have been worrying for a long time, resulting in lack of sleep.

Today, I suddenly heard bad news, and it was caused by emotion, although this is not a big deal.

Now that the situation of the official family is like this, you have to take care of your health, after all, the Great Song Dynasty still needs you."

Empress Cao paused for a while and replied, "Okay, I know, I'll pay attention, and when can the official family wake up."

Imperial Doctor Song said, "I'll prescribe a few pairs of medicines later, and after giving them to the official's family, I should be able to wake up in two or three hours at the latest."

Empress Cao said, "Okay, it's too hard to work over there, and don't tell others about the official's illness.

Directly said to the outside world that this is a recurrence of an old disease in the official family, and it can be recovered in a few days of cultivation, so as to calm people's hearts and give the official family time to arrange the following things."

Regarding Empress Cao's request, Imperial Physician Song can naturally understand it, and even if he agrees.

Then Empress Cao personally sent Imperial Doctor Song out of the door, and called Qi Neijian to personally accompany him to the Imperial Medical Bureau to grab medicine.

Before Empress Cao returned to the palace to rest, she heard the news of Cao Jingxiu's arrival.

It turned out that in order to facilitate the discussion of information and deal with the news of Bianjing City in a timely manner, Cao Jingxiu basically lived in the Imperial City Siyamen during this time.

After all, it is outside Zuo Chengtianmen, and once you get the news from the palace, you can immediately enter the palace to see Queen Cao.

This time he got the news of Queen Cao, Cao Jingxiu didn't dare to delay for a moment, and directly took his waist card and entered the palace.

After entering the Funing Palace with Empress Cao, Empress Cao cleared the palace maids and eunuchs, and then explained the situation to Cao Jingxiu.

After Cao Jingxiu listened, he said, "Since there are only a few days left, then I'm afraid we have to prepare in advance.

What Concubine Rong did last time, we can also come to learn from it, if those military generals who led the army in Bianjing City can be controlled in the palace, it will be much safer."
