Facing Lou Niu's questioning, Li Hao smiled and said, "What is Lou Gongzi talking about, I just can't bear Lou Gongzi to go astray, so I want to persuade Lou Gongzi to take the initiative to surrender to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Now that it has not caused any bad impact after all, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty will also forgive one or two, so that they will not end up with death."

"Oh, then it seems that I should thank General Yuan for his kindness." Lou Niu said.

"No, after all, I am also a minister in the East Palace with Mrs. Lou, so I should help to think about it thoroughly, and I don't deserve this thank you.

And it's not just me, as the eldest brother, Lou Gongzi also thinks in his heart that he has to think about Lou Ergongzi, right?"

After listening to Li Hao's words, Lou Niu's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Li Hao, and he also understood Li Hao's intention to call him today.

But this is also what he wants to do, after all, he did this in Tongniu County, although he wanted to get ahead with his merits, but in essence, he also wanted to get rid of the situation that the second room was subject to the big house.

Now that he has failed, as long as he can pull Mrs. Lou into the water, the second room will be able to get rid of the clamps, but this matter cannot be involved in Lou Yao.

Therefore, Lou Niu said, "I can do what General Yuan wants, but my second brother doesn't know about this matter, can this matter not implicate him."

Smart people are really easy to deal with, and they can understand a little, but some words are not suitable for penetration: "Lou Gongzi laughed, I don't need you to do anything, Lou Gongzi don't think too much."

As for the second son of Lou, he is now General He's son-in-law, I will send a message to him in advance, and I think he will not watch his son-in-law fall into trouble.

It's hard to arrange a lot, but it shouldn't be difficult to find a way to get him to a local position, and it shouldn't be difficult to avoid the edge."

Seeing that Li Hao had accepted this, Lou Niu didn't say anything more, and directly agreed, "Okay, when the prince arrives, I will take the initiative to go and ask for guilt."

"Lou Gongzi can change his mistakes, this is a good thing, then he won't leave you down." Li Hao said.

After hearing this, Lou Niu got up and said goodbye, but after leaving the yard, he couldn't help but look back for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel infinitely lonely in his heart.

The reason why the minister insisted so much was because Ma Rong had taken the bronze bull before, and there were some hidden secrets that you needed to deal with personally.

As for security, please rest assured, Your Highness, that the soldiers and horses under the command of the minister have taken over the defense of the city, and the soldiers and horses led by Ma Rong have also been moved outside the city, and the army will be directly placed on their side at that time, and nothing will happen."

When the prince heard that there was no problem with the security arrangement, he didn't pay much attention to it, but asked, "Regarding the matter of Tongniu, I have already read the transcript written by Nalou Niu, which says that Ma Rong was able to enter the city because Tongniu County ordered Yan Zhong and Wei Wei Zuo Cheng to surrender to the enemy with 2,000 fine copper, so that he could rely on Yan Zhong's seal to deceive the trust of the city, so that he could enter the city smoothly.

Then Lou Niu entered the city alone and persuaded Ma Rong to surrender the city, so there is a problem with the hidden story you said."

Li Hao replied, "There is indeed a problem here, please ask Your Highness to let the minister summon two people in, and then they will tell you the reason for this."

For Li Hao's request, the prince naturally did not refuse, after all, he was indeed curious about the truth of this matter.

So Li Hao called Cheng Shi and Yan Zhong over, and asked them to tell the prince about their personal experience.

When the prince saw the two of them, he was a little surprised, but after listening to their words, he was even more stunned.

After a long pause, he asked, "What you said today is diametrically opposed to what Lou Niu said, and I can't believe you just by what you say, I don't know what evidence you have in your hands to prove that your words are true."

This really stumped them, because now in addition to being able to take out the two thousand refined copper, and the fact that he was intercepted and killed, he proved that he had not surrendered to the enemy.

Other evidence that can prove that Lou Niu is the real culprit behind the scenes, they really can't come up with.

But they didn't, Li Hao had it in his hands, and immediately Li Hao let Yan Zhong and Cheng Shi go out first, and then said to the prince: "The specific evidence is in the hands of the ministers, and it is about Lou Niu contacting Ma Rong and guiding Yan Zhong to take the initiative to go out of the city to get a letter."

As he spoke, he asked someone to bring the box containing the letters and handed them to the prince to check one by one.

The prince has trust in Li Hao, and he didn't think that Li Hao would falsify evidence, so after reading a few letters, he immediately said angrily: "Lou Niu is really bold, as a child of a family, he doesn't want to serve the country, but he actually framed court officials and colluded with traitors for his own benefit, which is really a great crime."

The prince was indignant here, but the mood on the side was more stable, and he said to Li Hao: "Since you already have the evidence in your hands, then take down Lou Niu directly, and then give the actual information to Your Majesty, why bother the prince to deal with it."

Hearing this, the prince also calmed down and asked, "Yes, Lou Niu is a scribe, it shouldn't be difficult for Ziyang to take it, why do you have to come alone."

At this point, he got to the point, and hurriedly replied: "It's naturally easy for the minister to take down Louniu, but in the process of investigating this matter, the minister found that he had a tragic situation after seeing Tongniu County being captured by bandits, and he also had a heart of repentance in his heart, so he wanted to give him a chance to take the initiative to confess.

Moreover, Lou Niu did such a bold thing, in addition to his wolf ambition, there is also a last resort reason, I think it is better for His Highness to listen to it personally."

When the prince heard this, he was curious: "If there is anything I need to know, you can just say no, why sell this."

Li Hao replied: "The prince will know when the time comes, there are some things that he personally listened to the person concerned, maybe it can be more intuitive, if he doesn't ask the prince to turn himself in, then I will do it for me."

Hearing this, the prince shook his head slightly, but still chose to follow Li Hao's arrangement.

After entering the city later, Lou Niu was busy because he was in charge of specific reception affairs, but he stayed at the prince's place for a while at first and left.

This also made the prince feel that he would not come to turn himself in, so he asked, "Looking at him like this, it doesn't look like he confessed to his crimes, you are not looking at the wrong person."

Li Hao was still confident in his judgment, and immediately replied: "Don't wait, the minister has confidence in his vision, let's see if he will come at night, if he doesn't come, the minister will arrest people."

"Okay, then look at you

How's it going?" The prince laughed when he heard this.

In the end, Li Hao did not judge wrong, and that night Lou Niu went alone in front of the prince to plead guilty, explained what he had done one by one, and sincerely showed how uneasy his conscience was after doing it, and he felt ashamed of the court.

That tone sounded really like that, so that the prince couldn't help but sigh after listening to it: "You are also a child of the family, seeing that your layout of the bronze bull is interlocking, and the changes in people's hearts are vividly calculated.

Yuan Shen replied: "Yes, as a child of a family, I should have become an official, report to the country, and go to Anlishu, but it's a pity that I was conceited to learn from others, but after all, there was no way out, otherwise why would I do such a despicable act."

The prince didn't quite agree with this, and replied, "You are the son of the Knowles, and your uncle is the prince and the prince, why don't you have a way out?"

When Lou Niu heard this, he laughed sadly and said, "I have fallen into the current situation, isn't it the end of my uncle's bent efforts to prevent it.

I guess the prince has also seen the document recommending me to the office, why didn't it work out in the end, I think my uncle must have played a big role in it, right?"

When the prince heard this, he also remembered this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

So Lou Niu began to take advantage of the victory to pursue: "Sure enough, I guessed correctly, my uncle seems to be loyal, but no one in my own family like me knows his little tricks.

There really is no outstanding person in the next generation of the Knowles family, and it is ridiculous to think about the people that my uncle has recommended in recent years."

After sneering twice, Lou Niu said again: "Forget it, I know that what I did violated the law, and I don't want to talk about the conduct of others, so please deal with everything Your Highness."

Lou Niu's words turned at the right time, after all, sometimes the words are a little more lake-barren, so as to show their authenticity.

The crown prince did have the intention of getting to the bottom of it at this time, but after thinking about it, he still endured it and said, "I will play this matter to my father and let my father deal with it, but for the sake of you taking the initiative to vote, I will help you intercede."

After speaking, he asked Lou Niu to be escorted down, and he was temporarily imprisoned in a cell, waiting for his fate.

As soon as the people left, there were only three people left in the field, the prince, Lai She, and Li Hao, and it was convenient to speak, when he asked Li Hao, "The secret you said before should be about Lou Taifu, so is there any problem with the person recommended by Lou Taifu that Lou Niu said just now."

Regarding this matter, Li Hao asked Lou Niu to jump out, because he didn't want to come out directly, after all, as long as he made a statement, it would be easy to make an impression in the prince's heart and lose his independence.

Therefore, in the face of this, Li Hao did not directly say that Mrs. Lou was not, but wanted to guide the prince to take the initiative to investigate.

"I don't have much contact with Mrs. Lou, and I don't know much about recommending talents, if Your Highness really wants to know the reason, you might as well send someone to investigate.

Anyway, the people who have entered the office, their life experiences are recorded, and it should not be difficult to check, of course, in order not to misunderstand Mrs. Lou, it is best to investigate secretly.

In addition, in order to verify the authenticity of what Lou Niu just said, it is best to check the situation of those who were blocked by Mrs. Lou from entering the office."

The prince replied, "Okay, then let people check to see if Lou Niu is lying."

Seeing that the prince agreed, Li Hao's goal this time was almost the same, because what Mrs. Lou had done in recent years really couldn't stand up to investigation.

It can be said that if it weren't for the prince's face and ensuring that his position was not shaken, Emperor Wen would have wanted to dispose of Lou Taifu a long time ago.

Now the three princes have suffered a major blow to their subsidiary forces because of the previous Tian Shuo incident, and the prince's position is becoming more and more stable, and the prince's attitude has loosened at this time.

After this incident, Lou Niu was imprisoned, and Yan Zhong and Cheng Shi's grievances were cleared, so Yan Zhong took over the affairs of Tongniu County to deal with them.

And Li Hao began to prepare

To support Ling Budo's matter, after the new batch of grain and grass arrived, Li Hao took the opportunity to send reinforcements to the front line and handed them over to Ling Budo and Cui You for dispatch.

This time, because there was nothing particularly urgent, the overall strategy was to besiege but not attack, so as to avoid unnecessary losses caused by the siege.

Anyway, there is not much grain and grass in the city, as long as the supply of grain and grass in the city is cut off, then the defenders in the city will either surrender voluntarily, or go out of the city to fight to the death, either of which will be less than a forced siege.

In this way, there was basically no high-intensity fighting on the front line, and Li Hao was idle in Tongniu County.

So Li Hao went to the prison and met Lou Niu, and Lou Niu saw Li Hao coming over and asked directly, "General Yuan is here to see me off?"

Li Hao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Lou Gongzi thinks too much, why do I want you to die, what good is it for me if you die."

Lou Niu replied: "Since you want to borrow my hand and trip my uncle, just the few words I said, I'm afraid it's not enough, but if you add my death, this amount will be different, after all, people are about to die, and their words are good."
