I saw Li Hao say, "There is a change in the palace, Zhao Zongquan is already gathering soldiers and horses, preparing to launch a palace change."

Ouyang Xiu was taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "Where did you get this news, is it really true?"

Li Hao replied: "This matter is true, I originally asked Gu Tingye to keep an eye on Zhao Zongquan and them, but I found out that Zhao Zongquan had a close relationship with some people in the western suburbs.

Just the day before yesterday, Zhao Zongquan's people contacted them again, and then they began to gather people in the camp in the western suburbs.

In addition, it is the same in the palace, Bi Zhongyou has also recalled the soldiers who have gone out, and all signs indicate that he is ready to do it."

After listening to Li Hao's words, Ouyang Xiu also agreed with Li Hao's judgment, and immediately got up to leave.

Seeing this, Li Hao was also confused, and didn't understand what Ouyang Xiu was doing, so he hurried two steps before grabbing Ouyang Xiu and asking, "What are you doing here?"

Ouyang Xiu said, "Hurry up and notify the official family, so that the official family can make preparations as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Li Hao said, "You are in a hurry, you don't want to think about it, if there is nothing on the official side, why should Zhao Zongquan give it a go.

In other words, now the palace is afraid that it will not be peaceful for a long time, but the news has not been transmitted.

And now that Bi Zhongyou is ready, it is estimated that Empress Cao should also know the news.

Now the palace is a gunpowder pile, and it only takes a little spark to explode, so what's the use of you going to the palace now!"

These words calmed Ouyang Xiu, and then he sat back in his chair and asked, "Since you have known about the anomaly since the day before yesterday, it is impossible for you to be unprepared for anything this day, let's talk about it."

Li Hao replied: "I naturally did the preparation, Gu Tingye has already gone to contact the old department of the Gu family, Yang Wenyuan has also gone to find a way to contact the palace and recruit the old department, Zhang Wen and Yuan Wenshao have also gone to prepare people.

But the time is too rushed, and I am afraid that it may not be effective in a short period of time, so I thought it would be better to avoid the edge for the time being.

My family has just left Bianjing City, and now I came here to inform my uncle and arrange to leave the city as soon as possible."

After being silent for a while, Ouyang Xiu said, "That's true."

Then he got up and went to the door, called Mrs. Xue over, and said, "You now order someone to set up a car, and then quickly pack up some soft goods, and take Fa'er and Yi'er out of the city to live."

When Mrs. Xue heard this, she suddenly realized that this time the matter might be really dangerous, and she even needed to go outside the city to avoid trouble.

Just wanted to call someone, but found that Ouyang Xiu's words were a little wrong, so he asked, "Why did I take them there, aren't you with us?"

Ouyang Xiu said, "I'm Zaifu, how can I escape at this critical moment.

And I'm in the city, so I can attract the attention of other people, so that you can leave."

Li Hao also persuaded at this time: "Uncle should go along, after all, the city is still more dangerous.

And after we get out of the city, when we think of a way to put things right, we also need my uncle to take charge of the overall situation."

Ouyang Xiu refused: "It's okay, I'm Zaifu after all, no matter who wins, if I want to really gain a foothold, I won't be charged with killing Zaifu."

….

I'm alone in Bianjing City, but it's safe, so it's right for you to leave quickly."

Although Ouyang Xiu's words did make sense, Mrs. Xue still didn't want Ouyang Xiu to stay alone.

After all, it's really going to kill the red eye, what if someone is impulsive.

But no matter how Mrs. Xue and Li Hao persuaded her, Ouyang Xiu had already made up her mind.

There was no way, Mrs. Xue could only go and prepare the things first, and let Li Hao keep them and persuade them.

Facing Mrs. Xue, although Ouyang Xiu was resolute, his tone was much more tactful.

Now as soon as Mrs. Xue left, as soon as Li Hao spoke, she was ruthlessly interrupted by Ouyang Xiu.

said directly: "Okay, don't talk so much, after the eldest lady and Fa'er go out of the city,

You can take care of it."

This double-standard attitude made Li Hao can't help but shout in his heart, you are awesome.

After that, Ouyang Xiu explained to Li Hao again, of course, it was mainly a matter of his family.

For the time being, official affairs can only be seen and dismantled, and Ouyang Xiu can't predict it in advance.

When Mrs. Xue came back after arranging things, she asked Li Hao how she persuaded her with her eyes.

Li Hao could only shake his head, indicating that he hadn't made sense, and then got up and left, leaving space for the two of them.

Of course, Li Hao didn't go far, after all, his identity was not easy to expose, so he found a secluded place in the courtyard to stay.

I don't know what they talked about, anyway, after Mrs. Xue came out of the room, she was already convinced.

Seeing Li Hao, Mrs. Xue also asked, "Do you want to go out of the city with us?"

Li Hao replied, "I still have some things to do in Bianjing City, so you can just go out of the city first."

Mrs. Xue nodded, and then went back to do the final check, and you can leave if there is no problem.

After the others left, Ouyang Xiu said to Li Hao, "I'll go out of the mansion and take a turn later, attract attention, and let everyone know that I'm still in the city.

Then the big lady and they will leave, and you will also go out of the house in the team at that time, and then leave the team."

Li Hao nodded and said, "Okay, just do what my uncle says, and then my uncle will be more careful."

Ouyang Xiu didn't answer, maybe he didn't know what to say, but just waved his hand and asked Li Hao to go to find Mrs. Xue.

After that, according to what Ouyang Xiu said, Li Hao left Ouyang Xiu's mansion smoothly and did not attract the attention of others.

After Li Hao left the team, he planned to find his father-in-law's old department, and Li Hao also communicated with the British Duchess yesterday to know which people were more credible.

But when Li Hao arrived, he suddenly found that a firework suddenly exploded over the palace.

This made Li Hao angry, and he didn't count how the palace could fight so quickly.

According to Li Hao's thoughts, Queen Cao and Bi Zhongyou have to act and test each other.

And both sides know each other's details, so how can this play be sung for a while, which Cheng thinks that these people's acting skills are too poor.

At this time, Li Hao didn't care about contacting others, so he hurriedly ran to the nearest city gate, and on the way, he also borrowed a horse from someone in a friendly way.

….

When Li Hao arrived near the city gate, he let the horse go first, after all, his clothes didn't look like he had a horse.

The guards on this side of the city gate have not received news at this time, so they are also very casual in searching for people who go out of the city.

For an empty-handed person like Li Hao, the guards only glanced at it a few times, but they didn't come forward to ask, so they just let it go.

After leaving the city, Li Hao did not go directly to the camp in the western suburbs, after all, Zhao Zongquan's people would definitely enter the city in a hurry when they got the news.

At that time, if you bump into it on the road, there are many people who have seen yourself in the camp in the western suburbs, don't go there and capsize in the gutter, that scene is very beautiful.

So Li Hao found the right direction first, and strode towards a Zhuangzi that he had arranged in advance, where there was Li Hao's change of clothes and clothes, and horses to use.

The most important thing is that the people in the Zhuangzi don't know who Li Hao is, they just think that it is a Zhuangzi bought by a wealthy businessman, and the security is very high.

After Li Hao went there to clean up, seeing that the sky was about to darken, it was estimated that Zhao Zongquan's people should have left, so he rode to the camp in the western suburbs.

And when Li Hao was in a hurry, there was a happy fight in the palace.

Originally, the situation in the palace was just like what Li Hao thought, but after Cao Jingxiu learned the news that Bi Zhongyou was gathering people, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Because Cao Jingxiu knew very well that Empress Cao had never given Bi Zhongyou this order.

So he immediately entered the palace, informed Empress Cao of the situation, and suggested, "I didn't expect that Bi Zhongyou turned out to be Zhao Zongquan's person, let's hurry up and take Zeng."

Chaosheng came to him and asked him to mobilize manpower.

While Bi Zhongyou didn't know that we knew his identity, we tried to trick him over and take him down directly."

Unexpectedly, Empress Cao shook her head and said, "Since Bi Zhongyou has already summoned everyone back, the day of the move must be in these two days.

At this time, he doesn't know how wary of us is, and I want him to come alone, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult."

Seeing that Empress Cao disagreed with her opinion, Cao Jingxiu immediately said, "Then what to do, you have to think of a way."

Seeing Cao Jingxiu's inability to sit still, Queen Cao taught: "Every major event must be calm, what's the use of being in a hurry, sit down and talk."

[In view of the general environment,

Cao Jingxiu didn't dare to talk back, so he had to sit down obediently first.

At this time, Empress Cao replied, "The top priority now is to stabilize Bi Zhongyou first and buy time for Zeng Chaosheng.

At this time, it is not good to let Zeng Chaosheng come over directly, so as not to make Bi Zhongyou alert.

It's up to you to go over and let him find a way to gather people, but remember to do it normally, and don't be like Bi Zhongyou, the traces are too heavy."

After talking about the affairs in the palace, Empress Cao paused and said, "However, there is not much difference between the soldiers and horses of the Imperial City Division and the Palace Front Division in the palace, so if we want to take Bi Zhongyou safely, we also need to use external forces."

Cao Jingxiu asked, "External force, but at this time, who else can we go to for help?"

Empress Cao said, "After you went to see Zeng Chaosheng, you went out of the palace, and then found a way to contact Gu Tingye.

….

Gu Yankai left Gu Tingye with enough people, and if I wanted, I could mobilize some troops.

In fact, if there is a military talisman, then it will be much easier to transfer troops, but I don't know where the official family hid him, and I haven't even found it these days."

Cao Jingxiu didn't care about Queen Cao's feelings, after all, in the palace, what Queen Cao couldn't find, Cao Jingxiu didn't think he could find it.

It's just that for Empress Cao's previous words, Cao Jingxiu added: "Actually, do I want to go to Li Hao, the British duke's connections are stronger than Ning Yuanhou after all.

Moreover, Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan have always been good friends with him, and if Li Hao comes forward, maybe things can go more smoothly."

Empress Cao naturally understood this truth, but Li Hao's face-to-face refusal last time made Empress Cao very unhappy.

Naturally, she was reluctant to take the initiative to ask for cooperation at this time, after all, now Empress Cao didn't realize that what she would face next was not just these people in the palace.

So Empress Cao said, "Okay, I naturally have my own ideas about this matter, you just do what I say."

After finishing speaking, Empress Cao asked Cao Jingxiu to hurry up and inform him, so as not to delay time.

Based on his trust in his sister, Cao Jingxiu didn't say anything more, and left to find Zeng Chaosheng.

And Zeng Chaosheng was really shocked when he heard Cao Jingxiu's words, he didn't expect that Bi Zhongyou, who had been dealing with him for such a long time, would be an undercover agent, and after confirming it repeatedly, he really believed it.

When Yang asked, "Then I'll take someone to arrest him right now while he's not paying attention."

Cao Jingxiu shook his head and said, "Don't be impulsive, now that the people have gathered back the soldiers and horses to prepare for the move, they must have taken precautions.

You're only going to scare the snake in the past, and if you don't get it right, you'll get stuck there."

After listening to Cao Jingxiu's words, Zeng Chaosheng asked, "Okay, then let him live for a few more days, what should we do next?"

Cao Jingxiu replied, "We don't know when Bi Zhongyou's side will start now, so you also need to gather people as soon as possible.

But the action should not be too big, so as not to attract Bi Zhongyou's attention, because in the current situation, the later he has an attack, the better it is for us, which is also what the queen mother means."

Zeng Chaosheng promised, "Okay, I will definitely do what the queen wants."

After Cao Jingxiu brought the words, he was immediately

Out of the palace, I plan to go to find Gu Tingye.

It's just that before he walked out of the royal street, Cao Jingxiu found that something was wrong, and someone kept following behind.

At the moment, Cao Jingxiu was worried that this was Zhao Zongquan's person, and he was afraid that he would really go to Gu Tingye, which would stimulate Zhao Zongquan and cause him to act in advance.

So he changed the destination to Fan Lou, and planned to wait until the evening to secretly go to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and then directly mobilize the people of the Imperial City Division to help, and the secrecy was also guaranteed.

It is also true that in the end, Cao Jingxiu met Gu Tingye at night without alarming others.

At that time, Gu Tingye had already finished with Li Hao and had just returned home, but he heard the news of Cao Jingxiu's visit.

At this time, Gu Tingye had already placed Minglan and his sister-in-law outside the city, and the guards in the house were also taken out by stones.

….

In order to prevent Cao Jingxiu from discovering the problem, Gu Tingye has always been quite perfunctory about Cao Jingxiu's words, and wants to send him away as soon as possible.

So when Cao Jingxiu said that he wanted to pull Gu Tingye into the gang and promised to be generous.

Gu Tingye agreed, anyway, helping Zhao Zonghan was also agreed, and it was naturally better to have Empress Cao take the initiative to cooperate.

Seeing that the purpose of this trip was completed so easily, Cao Jingxiu was really happy in his heart, and he was about to make friends with Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye said, "Originally, I should have left you to sit in the mansion more, but now the situation is special, if others find out that you are here with me, I am afraid that things will not be good."

When things settle down, I'll invite you to the house for a drink."

Gu Tingye's words were also reasonable, so Cao Jingxiu didn't think much about it, so he said goodbye to Gu Tingye and left.

Zeng Chaosheng's side, after Cao Jingxiu left, he did what Queen Cao wanted, and he was not in a hurry to recall the people outside the palace.

Instead, he first found a way to integrate the people of the Imperial City Division, and divided the people he could absolutely trust into two parts.

Some of them stayed in the Funing Hall to ensure that this place would never be breached.

The other part was scattered and planted in the capitals.

In this way, once the war really starts, with these own people leading, more people can be engulfed in, and it is guaranteed that no one will watch from the wall when the war starts.

As for the attitude towards Bi Zhongyou, they still maintain superficial closeness, and Bi Zhongyou has been deliberately keeping a distance recently, so everyone is safe for a while.

Originally, in the eyes of both parties, this calm could still be maintained for a few days, but suddenly because of Cheng Zhu's-stirring sticks, the harmony in this restraint was broken.

Speaking of which, the appearance of this-stirring stick is still Li Hao's pot.

Because Cheng Zhu and these people are Li Hao's original subordinates, they have always been in contact with Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan.

Then I learned about the specific situation in the palace from Yang Wenyuan, and Yang Wenyuan originally told them to be cautious and try not to spread the word.

After all, they are in the palace, and if their identities are really exposed, they are only afraid of killing them at that time.

But this group of lake ghosts is not strict-mouthed, or they have other intentions, and want to gather a group of people, so after they go back, they tell the people they think they can trust.

Then this news was somehow known by Bi Zhongyou.

Knowing that his identity was exposed, Bi Zhongyou couldn't care so much anymore, and directly brought someone to arrest them.

But the front division of the palace is not monolithic after all, and the news of Bi Zhongyou's arrest with people reached Cheng Zhu's ears again.

Cheng Zhu naturally refused to be arrested, so he simply gathered his own people and directly confronted Bi Zhongyou.

But after all, there are few people on his side, so Cheng Zhu thought about pulling Queen Cao into the water, anyway, they are not the same.

So he asked people to take the initiative to directly attack the people of the Imperial City Division, and then Zeng Chaosheng thought that Bi Zhongyou was going to do it, so he naturally used countermeasures.

Then Bi Zhongyou saw that the people of the Imperial City Division came to attack him, thinking that Empress Cao knew her true face and wanted to attack her.

I don't care about it for a while

Cheng stationed at them, left some people to surround the place, turned around and led people to deal with Zeng Chaosheng, and launched fireworks on behalf of the signal to inform Zhao Zongquan.

From knowledge to strength
