Early the next morning, Li Hao went to the East Palace, intending to confirm his thoughts with the crown prince, and he happened to hand over with Huo Budo.

However, at the same time that Li Hao saw the prince, he also saw Huo Budo standing on the side, so he knew that it would not be so easy to find the prince, so he simply planned to go straight in and explore the way in Huo Budo.

So after saluting the prince, he said, "Recently, I have often seen Zicheng in the East Palace, and today I will hand over the East Palace guards, so as not to be busy in the back and there will be some omissions."

Huo Budo naturally did not object to this, but the prince spoke at this time: "There is no need to be so anxious about this matter! It will take some time for General Wu to arrange the expedition, so do you plan to let you help come up with ideas again?

If it weren't for the father's other use for you, Lone couldn't stop your future, otherwise Lone really wanted to keep you by his side and give Lone advice.

But that's fine, the prime minister must start from the state department, and the general will be sent to the army, Ziyang will go to the state and county to experience it first, and then find a way to transfer you back to the capital in the future."

Li Hao heard the words and replied: "The minister is here to thank His Highness for his trust, in fact, as long as the minister is in the capital, His Highness can summon him if he has something, and the minister has nothing to do.

It's just that this handover still has to be arranged as soon as possible, after all, although Zicheng has been in contact with the East Palace Guards in the past, he has no specific understanding of the situation after all.

With the presence of ministers, if Zicheng encounters problems, it is easy to deal with them, and when he is familiar with them, he can be like an arm, so as not to make mistakes in the middle of the busy time, and it will not be good if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gets things wrong."

When the prince heard this, he felt that there was some reason, so he said, "Then Zicheng, you should go with Ziyang first, and then come back together to discuss matters when the matter is done."

When the two heard the words and saluted, they came out together and went to the barracks where the guards were stationed under the leadership of Li Hao.

However, while walking on the road, Li Hao said, "Zicheng, I have been released to work this time, and I think you have also made a lot of efforts! Do you think I should thank you?"

Huo Budo smiled when he heard this, and replied: "This is Your Majesty's trust in you, if you want to thank Your Majesty, you should also thank Your Majesty, I just helped you say a few kind words, don't take it to heart."

Li Hao stopped suddenly, he really didn't expect Huo Budo to be honest, and he was telling the truth.

Seeing that Huo Budo admitted it, Li Hao didn't detour anymore: "Then I want to know, is Zicheng recommending me for the post this time, is it for my sake, or is it for some people?"

"Zi Yang, is this still suspicious of me, thinking that I will trap the prince?" Huo Budo immediately made this clear.

Li Hao replied: "I do have such thoughts, but this is not to blame me, after all, you can't deny that you do have a collusion with the third prince.

Otherwise, Zicheng will prove it to himself, and find a way for His Majesty to order the princes to become feudal vassal kings, which will be beneficial to the world, the crown prince, and the three princes."

Huo Budo said, "Ziyang is using me as a gunman, and wants me to touch His Majesty's brow."

Li Hao replied: "What Zicheng said, if other people go, it is true, but Zicheng is not necessarily, Your Majesty's trust in Zicheng is comparable to ordinary people."

Huo Budo didn't agree directly, but just said, "Okay, wait until I think about it."

At this point, the two of them ended their discussion on the subject, and started to go back to the barracks.

The specific handover behind is also very easy, Huo Budo is already quite prestigious in the army, and the East Palace is located in the imperial city, which is the most able to sense the direction of the wind.

Therefore, even if he was dissatisfied with Huo Budo, he didn't dare to show it.

After the matter was dealt with here, the two returned to the prince's side, and came to give the prince ideas as usual, and check and fill in the gaps.

But when he returned home, Li Hao found Yuan Shen again and told him about today's conversation with Huo Budo again.

After understanding the situation, Yuan Shen asked, "Then you say, Huo Budo will help ask Your Majesty to let the princes become vassals?"

Li Hao said: "How do I know this, anyway, if he really does this, it proves that he has decided to support the prince, otherwise you have to be careful."

Yuan Shen replied, "I understand, there are still some miscellaneous things here in the Tingwei Mansion

After the matter is dealt with in two or three days, I will go to the East Palace to keep an eye on it, and I will not miss something.

However, regarding the matter of the three princes becoming vassals, we should also be prepared ourselves, and we can't really count on Huo Budo.

When the crown prince returns with merit after presiding over the Du Tian Decree this time, I think it will be enough to mention this matter."

Li Hao said: "Preparation is naturally necessary, but the greatest advantage of the crown prince now is the name of benevolence, forcing his younger brothers to leave the capital is not a good reputation, at least it cannot leave the impression of treating his younger brother harshly with His Majesty.

Therefore, this matter cannot be related to the prince, Huo Budo is a special identity, and others can't."

Yuan Shen nodded slightly, agreeing with this, and then Li Hao said: "I heard that the five princes have not been making trouble, they want to go to the feudal country to be chic, let people secretly encourage the five princes, it is best for him to mention this matter."

Yuan Shen replied: "This method is good, then I will arrange this matter, and ensure that the five princes know how high the sky and the sea are outside."

Li Hao did not have any doubts about Yuan Shen's ability, and Li Hao was afraid that he would not have much time in the capital in the future, so he could only leave it to Yuan Shen.

In the next few days, Li Hao went back and forth between the military camp and the East Palace, assisting Wu Han in handling military affairs while brushing up on the prince's presence.

But slowly, it is more inclined to the side of the military camp, after all, there is Ling Budo in the East Palace, and Li Hao does not have much to actually intervene in.

On the contrary, on the side of the military camp, Li Hao and Wu Han set a strategy, and Qingzhou was mainly handed over to Li Hao to deal with, only Li Hao could not deal with it, and Wu Han entered again.

After all, Li Hao was also afraid that Wu Han would enter Qingzhou and make trouble, and it would be bad if he accidentally injured the Yuan family, so it would be better to take the initiative to calm down the incident.

As for the accompanying soldiers and horses, Li Hao didn't ask for much, just asked Wu Han to transfer the soldiers and horses of the Tuncai Captain to follow.

When it came to the specific day of the expedition, everyone first followed the prince into Yanzhou together, and then stopped in Chenliu County, escorted by Huo Budo.

Li Hao Zetun cavalry captain continued to set off, went to Qingzhou Prefecture Linzi Qingzhou Mu convergence, and then carried out the matter of requisitioning the rebels.

As for Wu Han, he led the main force to Jizhou, intending to pacify the rebels there first, and then move his army into Youzhou.

Xuzhou was handed over to the prince, after all, compared to these four states, the situation in Xuzhou was the best under Yuan Pei's governance, so it was left for the prince to practice.

Anyway, with Ling Budo, there will be no big mistakes, so if it's a big deal, be slower, and when Wu Han or Li Hao can free up their hands, they can come back to help.

However, after Li Hao arrived in Qingzhou, he did not make any big noises at the first time, but first found Qingzhou Mu to transfer some county soldiers, and then cooperated with the strength of the Yuan family's troops to clean up the Yuan family's base in Jiaodong.

Immediately slowed down his movements, because Li Hao was waiting for Wu Han's movements, after all, the root of this matter was in the Haoqiang family, but Li Hao could not really kill the Haoqiang family in Qingzhou.

Therefore, the only way to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys is to let Wu Han do it, and then deter the powerful families in Qingzhou, let them realize that the policy that Emperor Wen said before is not a lie, and break their illusions.

At that time, it will be much easier for Li Hao to come forward to meet with these people to talk, throw out a few unpersuaded people, and then deal with those uncontrollable bandits, and Qingzhou will be pacified.

And this point, Yanzhou will also deal with it in the same way, and the prince and Huo Budo will not take this offending thing.

Of course, Wu Han himself knows it, but he himself is also willing, anyway, his reputation is already bad, it is better to hug Emperor Wen's thighs with one mind.

Now I can also help the prince to carry the infamy, how can the wealth of three generations be preserved.

In this case, Wu Han did not let Huo Budo and Li Haoduo wait, and soon took down several wealthy families in Jizhou and reported them to Yanzhou and the capital.

Immediately, the edict to move these families to the south of Yangzhou came down, and as soon as these people were escorted away, they immediately let the troublemakers know that Emperor Wen was serious this time.

Li Hao and Huo Budo seized the opportunity and began to make a move, while talking about the powerful people in various places

home, while forcibly suppressing those who are still ready to resist.

At first, there were quite a few stubborn ones, but as more and more families were relocated, they soon understood the situation and chose to cooperate with the imperial court.

Immediately, the Dutian Order began to be implemented in these four states, and finally it took almost a year to make the fields and households of the thirteen states have more detailed data, and the taxes of the imperial court have been greatly increased.

Not to mention other places, the three states of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, which Li Hao knows about alone, have basically increased their taxes by nearly one-third in a year.

From this, it can be imagined that before this, how many acres of people were concealed by the local powerful families.

Of course, even now, Li Hao can be sure that there must be deception in the locality, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, and Emperor Wen himself will not delve too deeply.

When everything was in order, the soldiers and horses sent this time returned to the prime minister's camp in Yanzhou, and then returned to the capital with the prince.

This time, he was in charge of the Dutian Order, and the prince finally washed away his original reputation of mediocrity and incompetence in the court, and also cultivated some sharp energy.

At least in Li Hao's opinion, the prince has made great progress after a busy year, which is very good.

However, although Li Hao was happy about this, there were other things that made Li Hao more concerned, so he called Yuan Shen, who had been by the prince's side for a year, to speak.

"What made you stare at Huo Budo, how are you staring, and has he still been in contact with the third prince."

Yuan Shen replied: "It shouldn't be, at least I didn't see it, and in this year's time, he has indeed been dedicated to helping the prince deal with important military and political affairs, and he has not done anything suspicious.

So I think he should have cut off contact with the third prince, and he is already planning to assist the prince with all his might."

Although Li Hao was still a little worried, after all, this guy had a criminal record, but if there was no evidence, there was no need for Yuan Shen to say, so he replied: "This is the best, as long as he can help the prince wholeheartedly, then the prince's position will become more and more stable."

Yuan Shen saw that Li Hao agreed with his point of view, and a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Yes, the next thing is to let the third prince become a vassal.

When I return to the capital, I will let them work harder, and when the three princes are moved to the feudal country, the prince will be able to sleep peacefully."

"Okay, that's it." After saying this, Li Hao talked about Liang Wuji again: "In addition, you should have received the letter from your cousin and father.

Uncle Tang has made a great contribution this time, and he will ask His Majesty to resign from the post of state pastor in order to stay in the center, so we must also make some preparations.

After all, they can't return to the capital without the edict, and we can only do the matter of contacting the officials to protect the performance, but it mainly depends on you, and how long I can stay in the capital is not certain."

Yuan Shen replied: "I understand this matter, I know about the three good friends, and I will visit them one by one in the future."

Hearing this, Li Hao said: "This is what I want to mention on purpose, I really can't visit too many people this time, and now Jing Huan's heroes still occupy many high positions.

We don't need them to fight head-on, so we can't show all our strength, so as not to make people too jealous.

And my father and cousin are not young, even if they enter the center, they may not be able to survive those people, and now they are mainly here to lay the foundation.

What really makes the Yuan family rise has to rely on our generation, at least now the Jing Wei Heroes family doesn't see any feared powerful characters."

Yuan Shen agreed: "Understand, then I'll come and choose when I go back, and this time I'll only visit some important people."

This matter was decided, and the two had time to gossip; "Speaking of which, this time my uncle really surprised me, he really gave up such a large amount of land and slaves to help my cousin go further.

I heard that Liang Yuan has been making trouble in the house for a long time, but it hasn't made the eldest uncle change his mind."

Li Hao replied, "Yes, I know this is quite unexpected, but in the end, he didn't suffer, cousin

The father has no heirs, and the glory of the Liang family will not belong to him in the end!

has the foundation laid by his uncle, as long as his heirs are not too incompetent in the future, the road to entry will be smooth sailing, so why not do it.

In fact, he should have understood this truth a long time ago, and there was no need to fight with his cousin uncle at all."

Yuan Shen also said, "Yes, my uncle didn't understand this truth before, but it's not too late to open up now."

After chatting, the two went back to rest, and then returned to the capital all the way, and Emperor Wen gave a very high evaluation to everyone who participated in the implementation of the Dutian Order.

But the evaluation is the evaluation, and the specific reward is still discussed, so Li Hao suddenly became leisurely.

Because Li Hao's current position in the East Palace has been removed, there is only one knighthood and the position of servant left on his body, and before the new position is arranged, there is no errand to do.

But that's okay, Li Hao can at least stay in the house more and accompany his son.

By the way, he wanted to appease the Liang family, after all, if he really went to the state and county to serve this time, he would definitely take his two wives and sons away.

You can't live separately from your wife for a long time, or let your son be a left-behind child.
