In order to prevent Li Hao from misunderstanding, Ouyang Xiu specially explained: "The matter of changing the law was originally restarted by Prime Minister Fu Bi, and now he is about to return to the court."

If you don't discuss this matter with him, you can decide for yourself, for fear that he will be troubled and troublesome.

And this matter is beneficial to the people, and if you want to come to Fubi, you won't oppose it, you just wait. ”

It seems that there is really no need to maintain interpersonal relationships anywhere, and since Ouyang Xiu said so, Li Hao can only stop first.

Ouyang Xiu saw that Li Hao's expression was a little frustrated, so he said: "I have already received news from Zeng Gongliang, and now the Grand Minister of Fubi is already on his way back to Beijing, and he will be able to take office soon."

It's just a good time for you to take a good rest, adjust your state, and spend time with your family.

There is another thing I have to mention to you, you can prepare it in Chengyuan now, but don't go to the house in the near future.

Everything will be said after the official family is buried in the Yongzhao Mausoleum, so as not to cause gossip. ”

Li Hao replied: "Uncle, don't worry, I still understand this truth, and I will never tell the truth." ”

Then Ouyang Xiu left Li Hao for a family banquet before letting Li Hao leave the house.

In the follow-up time, Li Hao began to slow down his pace, and at this time, Sheng Hong's tax money arrived, and Li Hao simply took the people to receive it outside the city in person, and he was distracted.

Not to mention, when Sheng Hong saw Li Hao again, his face was really happy.

When he saw it from afar, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The lower officials meet the adults, why do you need the adults to come in person for such a trivial matter, just sit in the mansion." ”

Seeing Sheng Hong so attentive, Li Hao was really a little unaccustomed to it.

But it's right to think about it, Sheng Hong followed him all the way, and in two or three years, he rose from the fifth grade to the fourth grade, and crossed two steps.

With this promotion speed, Sheng Hong should indeed thank himself, and with Sheng Hong's current age, his goal can be easily accomplished.

So Li Hao replied as usual: "You have inspected the eight provinces and recovered so many taxes for the imperial court, and it is only right for me to go out of the city to greet you." ”

As he was talking, he saw Kang Haifeng and his son walking out from behind and greeting Li Hao.

And the reason why Kang Haifeng and them can come back is because of the help of the Wang family.

This time may be because Aunt Kang did not die, so that Mrs. Wang did not lose her mind after all, did not participate in this palace change, and saved the Wang family.

Of course, the Wang family did not take any advantage in this, that is, at least Wang Shiping did not reach the point of signing the Privy Council at the end of the play.

You must know that although he is a privy envoy, a privy deputy envoy, and a fellow privy councillor, he is also one of the chief officials of the privy council, and the minimum is that he can only serve as a third-grade official or above.

If this is considered a lack of ability, it is not good to mix, how high the old lady of the Wang family is.

But to say that he was promoted after taking refuge in Empress Cao, that would not be right, after all, he was sued by the court soon after taking refuge.

There is a complete process for the promotion of a second- or third-grade official in the court, even if the emperor wants to promote, he has to go through such a set of procedures.

After all, the Great Song Dynasty is different from the Qing Dynasty, and this is the place to share the world with scholars, but not to be a slave.

According to common sense, Wang Shiping's official is definitely not promoted now.

But if you say that, Wang Shiping will be complained about as a co-signatory privy council.

Now he is still a scholar of the military department, Cao Shilang, and he is not as good as Shen Tugang at the beginning, so the old lady Wang has to dislike him to death.

It's just that this scene is estimated that Li Hao can't see it with his own eyes, which is a pity.

But even so, the Wang family still had the strength to ask the corresponding people to help and recall the two people again.

Although Li Hao was hindered by the original promise and did not deliberately obstruct the factor, it also proved that the remnants left by Mrs. Wang were still there.

Thinking about it like this, Li Hao felt that he had to find a way to pull a group of his own people out of Bianjing City.

Now that I think about it, the people around me who can really be used are military generals, and they are lackluster in terms of civil officials.

Although there is Ouyang Xiu's support above, there are no people who can use it below except for Sheng Hong's father and son.

After all, Ouyang Xiu's connections are not his own after all, and Zeng Gongliang and Shen Tugang will not listen to their own words.

Originally, when Yan Fu was still in the capital, he could still discuss something with him.

But before the second palace change, the old father of the senior brother noticed that the wind in Bianjing City was not in the right direction, and he went out to avoid trouble.

So Li Hao then made up his mind to find a way to transfer the Zeng brothers and Zhang Heng back to Beijing in the same year.

In addition, his second senior brother Yan Jingwen has been serving abroad for many years, and he can also find a way to transfer back to Beijing this time.

Anyway, now that the officials have Shen Tugang in charge, they can be regarded as their own people.

After making up his mind, facing Kang Haifeng, Li Hao became even more friendly, and after a simple greeting, Li Hao asked them to bring back the tax money with him.

After that, the work of registering and entering the warehouse naturally did not need Li Hao to do it personally, so Li Hao went back to think that he should arrange the transfer of people.

First of all, Ouyang Xiu is not easy to say, and he may not be willing to help Li Hao in this matter.

Then go directly to Shen Tugang, because whether it is in the play or the recent contact, Shen Tugang is by no means the kind of person who is upright.

On the contrary, he is very tactful, as long as he does not touch his bottom line, some things can be accommodated.

It just so happened that Shen Tugang said last time that he had written down his feelings, and with this reason, at least he could contact him in front of him to see Shen Tugang's attitude.

After making up his mind, Li Hao wrote a letter of worship by himself, planning to have someone send it to Shenfu, saying that he was going to visit him.

But before he could call someone, he saw the little guy outside take the initiative to walk in and said, "Master Sheng just came, saying that he had something to share with you, and now he is waiting outside." ”

After hearing this, Li Hao wondered in his heart, Sheng Hong was not staring at the tax and silver inventory at this time, why did he come here.

I don't understand, Li Hao doesn't bother to think about it, anyway, Sheng Hong has nothing to think about now that Li Hao is worth pondering.

So he said to the little servant: "Then you go and let Master Sheng come in, and let someone send this letter of worship to the mansion of Lord Shen, the servant of the Ministry of Officials." ”

After hearing this, the little maid took the post and went to invite Sheng Hong into the house.

Sheng Hong came in as respectfully as he did just now, and said, "Xiaguan Sheng Hong will meet Ji Xiang." ”

said that he was going to salute, but Li Hao naturally wanted to stop him.

After all, there is still a place to use Sheng Hong's father and son in the future, there is no need to be so rusty, and Li Hao himself is not a person who pays much attention to this kind of formalism.

Then he said: "There are no outsiders here, why should Uncle Sheng be so angry, you and I are just as usual." ”

Seeing that Li Hao's attitude towards himself had not changed much from before, Sheng Hong's heart was much more relieved.

Originally, Sheng Hong didn't want to do this, after all, in the face of a junior salute, even if he was an old fritter like Sheng Hong, his face was a little unbearable.

It's just that this time Li Hao is really kind to himself, and he helped his son again, which is a lot of kindness, Sheng Hong is worried that Li Hao's heart will change, so he wants to test it.

In the end, Li Hao's reaction, Sheng Hong was still very satisfied, which showed that Li Hao's mentality had not changed, and he didn't think about the matter of giving grace to repay him.

So he stood up and said: "You still need the proper courtesy, you are now a prime minister, you want to dominate the three divisions, and you always have to accumulate prestige, you can't destroy it because of me." ”

Li Hao nodded and smiled: "In front of outsiders, we are naturally commensurate with our official positions, but in private, we don't have to be so restrained." ”

After finishing speaking, he arranged for Sheng Hong to sit down and asked, "By the way, uncle will come over, is there anything you want to discuss with me?" ”

Sheng Hong replied: "There is indeed something, it's not that I and the Kang family father and son have not returned to Beijing for a long time, this time I plan to hold a family banquet when I come back, and I want you to attend it." ”

"Family banquet, I'm afraid that someone else will let my uncle hold this family banquet!" Li Hao paused and said.

Sheng Hong was slightly embarrassed and said, "This family banquet is indeed my mother-in-law's idea, let me invite you to participate."

However, she didn't have any malicious intentions, she just wanted to apologize to you on behalf of my eldest sister after learning about Yun Anjian.

Moreover, my eldest sister has also been taught a lesson in Yun'an Prison, and now she has improved. ”

Originally, Li Hao really didn't want to deal with the Wang family and the Kang family, but when he heard Sheng Hong say this, Li Hao was really interested.

After all, no matter how Li Hao looks at it, with the degree of psychopathy of Aunt Kang, there is still a possibility of getting better.

However, Li Hao didn't agree immediately, but said: "But your old lady didn't go to Jinling, or wait for the old lady to come back, and then talk about it." ”

Seeing that Li Hao had the intention of agreeing, Sheng Hong immediately said: "The old lady will come and go this time, at least it will take a few months, and the old lady's temperament doesn't like to be noisy, so you don't have to wait for the old lady to come back for this family banquet."

If the old lady really wants to participate, then there will be another one, which is that they are all relatives, so you can usually contact more! ”

】

For this last sentence, Li Hao really sighed a few times in his heart.

Sheng Hong, this guy really doesn't know in his heart, who would want relatives like the Kang family and the Wang family.

However, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity, and promised to go to the banquet: "Okay, then after you set the date, tell me in advance, and I can arrange the time." ”

When they returned to the house, Li Hao and Zhang Guifen mentioned the matter, and Zhang Guifen couldn't help but say: "You are really idle, what are you going to do for their family banquet between the Sheng family and King Kang?" ”

Li Hao replied: "This is not what Sheng Hong said, saying that King Kang has repented, I don't really believe it, so I want to see it with my own eyes!"

Who made your husband, this curiosity is heavier. ”

As he spoke, he put his hand on Zhang Guifen and began to seriously ponder the specific material of this clothes.

It's just that before Li Hao could study it carefully, he was pushed away by Zhang Guifen, and said with a smile: "Although I don't really believe that King Kang's family can get better, I don't have that much curiosity, so you will go by yourself that day, and my mother and I will not join in the fun." ”

Li Hao hurriedly said: "Don't, it's okay if my mother doesn't go, otherwise I have to worry that if my mother really goes, don't fight with King Kang's family in Shengfu."

But you can't go away, it's so boring for me to go alone, anyway, Minglan and Hualan will go back when the time comes, and if you go, you can find them to play together. ”

But Zhang Guifen said resolutely: "I don't want to go, I really don't want to see King Kang's face, you can go by yourself, if King Kang's changes a lot, you will come back and tell me then." ”

Later, no matter how Li Hao persuaded him, Zhang Guifen just didn't agree, and Li Hao had no choice but to start grinding and soaking.

It took several days for Zhang Guifen to agree and wait until the day of the family banquet to go to Shengfu together.

However, before the family banquet was held, Fu Bi returned to Bianjing accompanied by Zeng Gongliang.

And in order to show his attention to Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu led three people including the governor of the political affairs, Li Hao, Zeng Gongliang and others that day, and personally greeted him at the post station outside Bianjing City.

When he first met Ouyang Xiu, Li Hao also deliberately looked at Fu Bi's face, but he didn't feel any change, and seemed to be quite satisfied with the current situation.

Of course, it is also possible that Fu Bi has profound skills, and it is possible that Li Hao can't see it.

But at least on the bright side, the two get along extremely harmoniously, just like before Fu Bi Ding worried.

The only difference is that the status between the two has dropped, and Ouyang Xiu, who has always been a subordinate, has now become a boss.

After entering the city, Ouyang Xiu first took Fu Bi into the palace to meet Zhao Zonghan, and then Li Hao also accompanied him, after all, as far as getting along with Zhao Zonghan, it was more effective for Li Hao, an acquaintance.

As for the others, they went to Fanlou, and today Ouyang repaired a few tables of banquets to wash the dust for Fu Bi.

On the way to the palace, Li Hao looked at the background of Fubi in front of him and couldn't help but have associations.

Speaking of which, Fu Bi and Zhao Zonghan really haven't met, when Fu Bi was in power, Zhao Zongquan had just come to Bianjing.

As a result, when Fu Bi returned to Beijing again, Zhao Zongquan was already dead, and the throne was replaced by a child, and Ouyang Xiu turned the tables against the wind.

I don't know if Fu Bi will regret the decision he made in hindsight.

After all, Zhao Zhen really wanted him to stay in office at that time, as long as he was willing to nod.

However, there is no regret medicine in this world after all, and Fu Bi can only accept the reality temporarily.

After entering the palace, Concubine Miao took Zhao Zonghan to meet the three of them, and expressed her joy at Fu Bi's resurrection, and gave Fu Bi a rich reward.

Of course, these things were all Li Hao who entered the palace in advance and had good words with the two of them, after all, Concubine Miao's family background was not prominent, and she did not have much help in the court.

Therefore, for Li Hao, who is familiar with Zhao Zonghan, he is also relied on by him.

After this process in the palace was completed, Li Hao went to Fanlou with Ouyang Xiu and Fu Bi and had a reception banquet.

After this day, Fu Bi recuperated at home for a few more days, and then officially went to the Privy Council to take up his duties.

Li Hao was also waiting at this time, waiting for Fu Bi to familiarize himself with the matter, after all, Fu Bi had to be involved in the matter of commercial tax reform.

It's just that Fu Bi has been worried for more than two years after all, and the court has changed a lot during this time, and he still needs some time to get familiar with these things, so Li Hao can only wait a little longer.

While waiting, the day of Sheng Hong's family banquet came, and Li Hao went to participate with Zhang Guifen.
