Chapter 219: Send People Away
By the time Gu Tingye disguised himself and arrived at the secret house that Li Hao had purchased, Li Hao, Yang Wenyuan, Zhang Wen, and Yuan Wenshao were already there.
Seeing that Zhang Wen and Yuan Wenshao were also there, Gu Tingye was really a little surprised, after all, he had never called the two of them before.
At this time, Li Hao said, "Today, Yuan Wenshao and Zhang Wen accompanied Pinlan and Hualan to my house, and they happened to receive a message from you.
I thought that there was a lot of power in numbers, so I just called them in to come up with ideas together.
I've already told both of them about the general situation, so now you'll tell you exactly what happened."
For these two people, Gu Tingye still believed it, so he didn't say anything, but opened his mouth to introduce the situation.
"Didn't I send someone to monitor those generals who colluded with Zhao Zongquan, their activities were normal before, and there was no movement in the camp in the western suburbs.
But it wasn't until last night that people suddenly went to visit these generals one after another, and now these people have made a move and began to gather soldiers in the camp in the western suburbs.
I sent someone to inquire about it, but the soldiers below didn't understand the specific reason, and only thought it was a routine training.
Then I inquired through the connections, and I can be sure that the commanders of the various armies have never given orders for the whole training."
Hearing this, Li Hao couldn't help but say, "In this way, it is certain that those people are transferring troops privately, so if there is any reaction from the others."
Gu Tingye replied, "The locations of these people have basically been transferred to the outermost now, so they haven't attracted the attention of others.
Moreover, the camp in the western suburbs is often practiced, and those who don't know the cause and effect may not take it to heart even if they know it."
When Yuan Wenshao heard this, he also agreed: "Yes, I have been in the western suburbs camp these days, but if it wasn't for Gu Tingye to say, I wouldn't have cared about it."
Indeed, the strength of the large battalion stationed in the western suburbs is already huge, and the upper four armies may be able to get more, and it is understandable that no one cares about other miscellaneous people.
The most critical question now is to find out what they are going to do, is Zhao Zongquan preparing to mutiny by force?
So Li Hao said to Yang Wenyuan and Gu Tingye: "If Zhao Zongquan wants to mobilize people, it is definitely impossible to let it go, there has been no problem outside the palace recently, then the most likely thing is that there is a problem inside the palace.
Recently, you two have received any news from the palace?"
Seeing Li Hao's question, Yang Wenyuan and Gu Tingye both shook their heads, saying that they hadn't heard anything special.
However, Gu Tingye put forward his own conjecture: "The thing that can make Zhao Zongquan desperate can only be the dragon chair.
Then there are only two situations, one is that the official family decided to make Zhao Zonghan the crown prince, so Zhao Zongquan could only take risks.
In another case, the official family is no longer there, but the news was concealed by Empress Cao, and she wants to take the opportunity to support Zhao Zonghan to ascend the throne."
Although Gu Tingye's idea is bold, it is not unreasonable, and Zhao Zhen has indeed not met any courtiers in the past few days, so naturally no one can confirm whether Zhao Zhen is still alive.
But if that's the case, the situation is really complicated.
You must know that Li Hao is still on the task, Zhao Zhen gave him the talisman at the beginning, but let him stabilize the situation and help Zhao Zongquan ascend the throne. ….
But with the current situation, Li Hao really didn't think that he could control the camp in the western suburbs with a single talisman.
After all, the situation in the western suburbs is more complicated now than during the Yanwang Rebellion.
And Li Hao really didn't know whether to help Zhao Zongquan or not, in case Zhao Zhen really changed his mind.
Just when Li Hao had a headache about this, Yang Wenyuan asked, "Then what should we do now, can't we just sit on the side and watch the play!"
Gu Tingye and the others naturally didn't want to be a spectator, so the eyes of several people slowly converged on Li Hao, wanting Li Hao to have an idea.
But Li Hao didn't make up his mind now, so he could only say, "Now that the situation is unknown, it's really difficult to make a decision, and the camp in the western suburbs has just started to prepare, so if you want to come to Zhao Zongquan, you can ask for it
Hands-on, it can't be so fast.
In this way, tomorrow Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan will contact the palace guards first, first, to inquire about what is going on in the palace, and secondly, to let our people pay attention and not be used by others.
As for Zhang Wen and Yuan Wenshao, you went to the camp in the western suburbs to keep an eye on those who had taken refuge in Zhao Zongquan and monitor their movements.
If you have any questions, come to my house at once, and I will wait for your news in the house.
Then we'll be here again tomorrow night at the latest, and we'll be sure what we're going to do next."
Regarding Li Hao's arrangement, everyone did not express their opinions, and the matter was decided.
After that, Li Hao considered that no matter what he would do next, a big chaos in Bianjing City would definitely be inevitable.
So he said, "In the last two days, it's best for everyone to find a way to take the family roll out of Bianjing, so as not to have any accidents."
Everyone agrees with this, after all, everyone was a witness to the Yanwang Rebellion, and at that time, the military general's family roll was not safe.
It's just that among these people, Li Hao is the best arranger, and he can be the master of the house, just find a way to take people out.
It is not difficult for Gu Tingye here, it is nothing more than to take Minglan and Brother Chang and Sister Rong away, at most, to add his sister-in-law and Sister Xian.
As for the others, Gu Tingye didn't bother to care.
But Zhang Wen and the others are in trouble, they are all a big family, and they can't all tell the truth, lest the words get out at any time, and then it will be troublesome.
Faced with this difficulty, Gu Tingye proposed: "Why don't you just find a way to organize people and go to the polo field to watch the league together.
Anyway, Zhao Zongquan's target must be Bianjing City, and it is estimated that there are not many people outside the city, so arrange a Zhuangzi to hide at that time, and come out when the matter subsides."
To be honest, this idea is really not very good, but Zhang Wen and the others still choose to do it, after all, they really don't have much time to think of other ways.
Now that the matter had been decided, the people dispersed.
Early the next morning, Li Hao sent his leave note to Chen Shengzhi, saying that he occasionally felt cold and wanted to take a few days off.
Compared with Chen Shengzhi, he has no doubts, after all, he is not Zhao Zongquan's person, and he originally helped Zhao Zongquan to speak, but it was also because of Han Qi. ….
Now Han Qi was deliberately ignored by Zhao Zongquan because he was staying in Daxiangguo Temple, so Chen Shengzhi didn't know Zhao Zongquan's plans.
So when he heard the news of Li Hao's leave, Chen Shengzhi didn't care about it, and directly approved it.
Of course, Li Hao, who was at home on leave, was not idle, he immediately wrote a letter to Zhengzhou and transferred the musket and artillery developed there.
In addition, the matter of leaving his family must be arranged today, and his mother-in-law must be called.
And after leaving Bianjing City, because Li Hao still had to deal with things in the city, he couldn't stay with them.
Then there needs to be someone out there who knows the truth and takes care of everyone.
Li Hao chose his own lady for this important task, and there was a British duchess watching from the sidelines, so there was no problem in thinking about it.
So Li Hao found Zhang Guifen, explained the matter completely, and then said, "It is estimated that there will be a big change in Bianjing City in the past few days, and you will inform your mother-in-law later, so that she must come over today."
And when it is night, go to the house through the tunnel, and wait in the house until dawn, and get out of the city in the morning, when the gates are opened."
After listening to Li Hao's words, Zhang Guifen immediately asked, "What about you, won't you go out of the city with us?"
Li Hao replied, "My goal is too big, and if I leave suddenly, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others.
And I still have things to do in Bianjing City, and I can't leave.
As for security, don't worry, after all, I'm not the only one in the city, Yang Wenyuan
, Gu Tingye, Zhang Wen, and Yuan Wenshao are all there.
As long as we send you out of Bianjing safely, they and I can get together and take care of each other."
Zhang Guifen herself is not a person who has many children, and seeing that Li Hao has made up his mind, he did not persuade him too much.
Instead, he said, "In that case, I will let my mother bring more guards with her, and then I will be in the house at your command."
Li Hao disagreed: "You really don't have to worry about my safety, the people brought by my mother-in-law will still follow you and protect you."
Zhang Guifen's attitude was very resolute at this time: "That's not good, you will be more dangerous in the city, and I can feel more at ease with their protection."
And it is not easy to hide people's deeds, and staying in the house can also hide people's eyes and ears from outsiders to know that we have left.
As for the safety outside the city, you don't have to worry too much, then we will go directly to Beihezhuang, where the tenants are all veterans who have followed my father for many years and retired from the army, and it will be enough to have them."
Seeing that Li Hao seemed to want to say something, Zhang Guifen immediately said, "If you still want to refuse, then we won't leave, and we will stay with you in Bianjing."
Li Hao could only agree: "Okay, then I'll leave people behind, and be more careful after you leave."
As he spoke, he hugged Zhang Guifen over, wanting to feel her breath again.
After all, Li Hao said that he didn't have to worry, but in fact, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, so when facing parting, he inevitably felt a little touched in his heart.
And Zhang Guifen actually noticed this, but she understood her husband's insistence, so she responded warmly to Li Hao's hug. ….
At this moment, the two people who were hugging each other looked at each other, and it seemed that there was some affection between them, and slowly the two got closer and closer.
Just as the two were about to kiss together, they suddenly heard Qiu Yun's voice, so the two hurriedly separated, pretending that nothing had happened.
However, Qiu Yun saw the flush on Zhang Guifen's face that had not disappeared, and asked, "Big lady, why is your face so red, is it not feeling well?"
Zhang Guifen immediately replied, "No, I'm just too hot."
Qiu Yun looked at the bleak fallen leaves in the courtyard, and didn't understand that it was already late autumn, how could it be hot.
Seeing this, Li Hao diverted the topic, so as not to let Qiu Yun get to the bottom of it.
"By the way, weren't you looking for me just now, is there something going on?"
When Qiu Yun heard the questioning, she immediately said, "Oh, there was news from the outer courtyard just now, saying that Zhao Ceying came to visit and wanted to see the master."
Hearing this, Zhang Guifen's face changed, and she was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Hao.
Li Hao turned his head to Qiu Yun and said, "I know about this, you asked Zhao Ceying to take Zhao Ceying to the main hall for tea, and I will arrive later."
After Qiu Yun left, Zhang Guifen said again, "Zhao Ceying came this time, did she notice something, so she came to test you."
Li Hao shook his head and replied, "Probably not, after all, I haven't started to do things yet, how can they notice it, it can't be calculated."
After a pause, Li Hao really couldn't figure it out, so he said, "Forget it, let's not think about it too much, when I go out to see him, we'll know."
You'd better send someone to pick up your mother-in-law first, so don't waste time."
Then Li Hao went to the main hall, of course, before entering, Li Hao still made some disguises, at least it looked like he had a cold.
At this meeting, Li Hao said, "I am a little unwell today, and I have neglected you a little, please forgive me."
Of course, between talking, Li Hao covered his head and coughed a few times from time to time, pretending to be quite a bit of a bit.
Seeing this, Zhao Ceying immediately replied: "What you said, what kind of friendship do you have between you and me, why do you use to say such kind words.
But your illness is really a coincidence, I went to the Salt and Iron Division to look for you today, but after I arrived, I heard that you were sick and took leave.
Originally, I was going to invite you to dinner, but now it seems that it will not work."
Hearing this, Li Hao realized that Zhao Ceying didn't believe in himself and wanted to test himself.
Then he replied, "This illness is like a mountain, and there was nothing wrong when I was working in the Salt and Iron Division during the day yesterday.
As a result, after coming back in the evening, I felt dizzy and dizzy, and the whole person was groggy, so I sent someone to the third division to take leave, but you were tired of running for nothing."
Zhao Zongquan said, "If that's the case, then you have to be cautious, have you ever asked the imperial doctor to see."
After hearing this, Li Hao immediately coughed a few more times, and then said, "The imperial doctor didn't look for it, after all, the situation in the palace is now, and it is inconvenient to let the imperial doctor out of the palace.
I asked someone to go to Qingyuntang and ask a doctor to come over and check the pulse.
He also said that I was just infected with the wind chill and it was nothing serious, so I was just prescribed a few pairs of medicines and told me to drink them on time."
When Zhao Ceying heard this, even if he kept Qingyuntang in his heart, he planned to send someone to check it later to see if Li Hao was pretending to be sick.
On the other hand, he said, "If that's the case, then you should take good care of yourself and come back in a few days."
Li Hao didn't stop him after hearing this, and he got up to send it.
As a result, he was pressed down by Zhao Ceying and said, "Don't send it, if the condition worsens, it will be a big offense for me."
Li Hao's side naturally got off the donkey and asked his subordinates to send Zhao Ceying out on his behalf.
As soon as Zhao Ceying left, Zhang Guifen walked in from the back of the main hall and asked, "You just reported the name of the medical hall, if Zhao Ceying goes to check, will there be any problems?"
From knowledge to strength
