While waiting for the time to reply, the siege soldiers and horses are also being arranged, firstly to put pressure on the people in the palace, and secondly, to prepare in advance in case the negotiation is not possible.

But fortunately, Emperor Dai Guan of Qi finally made a wise choice, ordered the forbidden army of the imperial city to lay down his arms, and held the national seal, walked out of the palace gate with the queen and the prince, and surrendered to Li Hao.

Li Hao didn't deliberately embarrass them, only asked Chen Xi to take over the national seal, and after identifying the authenticity, he directly put it away.

Then he sent someone to take them all away and arrange for them to live in an idle house in the city.

As for this palace, it will remain the same for the time being, except for the replacement of the palace gate guards, the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs will continue to be retained.

Even Li Hao himself did not enter, but arranged the residence to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

After all, if you go in with this identity, you are somewhat taboo.

It has been more than three years since Li Hao left Sudu and started this round of conquest.

In the past three years, although Li Hao has sent back countless reports, he has not gone back once.

Now that he has to stay in the capital, there are countless rumors about Li Hao, many of which are Li Hao's self-respecting troops and want to divide one side; There are even rumors that Qing Jun is on the side and forced Cui Mingchan to give way.

If it weren't for the fact that the battle of exterminating Qi had reached the final stage, Cui Ming was afraid that the recall would make this battle a failure, but he was afraid that he would have been unable to bear it a long time ago.

But even so, Cui Ming also took the initiative to mix sand under Li Hao a few times, such as Zheng Zhuo, who was demoted to a civilian before.

This time, it was reactivated and sent to Li Hao's men, which played a role in balancing Li Hao.

It's just that Li Hao didn't take him too seriously, after all, the soldiers and horses under his hands, except for a few brought out from Suguo, were basically benefited by the Juntian Law.

And even those forbidden troops from the Su country, Li Hao has never treated them badly, and all the rewards they should have have been given at the top level.

Even with the land price of the host country, it is enough for them to buy land and buy real estate.

In this case, they will choose who to listen to, very clearly.

Just to confuse Zheng Zhuo, Li Hao still deliberately acted in front of him and asked people to cooperate in a play, so that he consciously mastered some people.

Among them, the main actors are the firearms battalion, and they have been completely included by Li Hao in the name of Zhao'an.

Moreover, Zheng Zhuo was especially convinced, because compared to what others had obtained, they basically did not participate in the rest of the battles except for guarding Shuofeng and Hu Liu, so naturally there were no captures, and they seemed to be very few.

Zheng Zhuo treated others with himself, thinking that this was because Li Hao looked down on the bandits who were halfway home, so he deliberately ignored them.

didn't know that they were Li Hao's real henchmen, a team that really had faith and didn't care about gains and losses.

And he also consciously had the help of the firearms battalion, Zheng Zhuo was more confident to win over others, and there was a little movement for a while, but he didn't know that this was all an illusion created by Li Hao.

Now Zheng Zhuo's ambition is even greater, and he is dreaming that after Li Hao leaves here, he can master this army of tigers and wolves.

As soon as the royal family of the Qi Kingdom surrendered, Zheng Zhuo came to Li Hao and asked about their arrangements.

Li Hao knew his thoughts, didn't he urge Li Hao to bring people back to the capital as soon as possible to offer prisoners.

Although Li Hao really wants to go back, because at this stage, Li Hao already has enough strength in his hands, and some words should be open and honest with Cui Ming.

It's just that in the face of the annoying Zheng Zhuo, Li Hao pretended to be confused: "It's not that Lone has already arranged a place for them to live, it's not that they are still dissatisfied with this, and they have come to you."

If that's the case, for the sake of your face, you can adjust it to them as you see fit."

Zheng Zhuo didn't want to have anything to do with these people who had lost the country, so he hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, I don't have anything to do with them.

I just think that now that the Qi Kingdom has been pacified, shouldn't we escort them back to the capital as soon as possible, so that Your Majesty can be happy."

Li Hao nodded with a smile and said, "That's true, it's just that there are still remnants of the Qi Kingdom in the south, and they can't get out of it for a while, so it's better to bother you to take a trip and take them back to the capital to boast to your father."

If it were another time, if there was such an opportunity to grab credit, Zheng Zhuo would definitely have no hesitation.

It's just that now he has more important things, so he can only reply: "Now that the royal family of the Qi Kingdom has been captured, even if the remaining chaotic parties have intentions, they can't make any big noise, Your Highness can completely leave it to the rest of the people to preside, I believe that everyone will not disappoint Your Highness."

After all, the battle of Qi was presided over by His Royal Highness, so naturally His Highness should personally praise His Majesty.

Li Hao smiled when he heard this, and asked, "Yes, Lord Zheng really thinks like this."

Although Zheng Zhuo hated Li Hao very much, he could only affirm at this time: "This is natural, His Royal Highness should take the first credit for the work of opening up the territory this time."

Li Hao replied, "Okay, then Gu will think about it again, you go down first."

Zheng Zhuo's goal was not achieved, and he had to persuade two more sentences, but Li Hao kept reading the documents and ignored him anymore, so he had to leave with interest.

When he left, Ren Xincai, who had watched the whole scene, complained: "He is really a weasel giving New Year's greetings to chickens, and during this time, he has contacted many people behind your back."

Li Hao said: "Let him be happy for a while, after all, he won't be able to continue the scenery for a long time, and besides, you really don't want to go back to the capital with me."

Ren Xin shook his head and said, "No, I haven't seen my mother for a long time, so I'll go directly to Hezhou when I go back this time."

And when you return to the capital, you will naturally live back in the East Palace, and then you will be accompanied by your own wife and beautiful family, why do you want me to follow!"

Li Hao smiled and asked, "What, is it possible that you are still afraid that you will not be able to see her."

Ren Xin's face changed a little after hearing this, and he snorted coldly and left.

For her actions, even Chen Xi saw that something was wrong.

Then he admonished: "It's okay if Miss Ren doesn't go to the capital this time, if you really want Miss Ren to enter the mansion, you still have to get the consent of the crown princess."

Forgive the slave and maid for talking too much, although Miss Ren is good, but when it comes to motherhood and the world, controlling the harem, the crown princess is more suitable after all."

Li Hao glanced at Chen Xi up and down, and said, "You have been buried in your heart for a long time, and now you have finally said it."

Chen Xi also knew that he really couldn't get too involved in Li Hao's private affairs, but he knew more about how important a stable harem was.

Speaking of which, the time for Chen Xi and Zhang Han to meet is much lower than that of Ren Xin, and there is no friendship between the co-directors.

But Chen Xi knew better in his heart that Ren Xin's scheming methods were really good, but he really didn't look like a queen who could be a mother in the world, so he took the risk to speak.

Now that Li Hao has understood, he didn't interject again, just licked his face and smirked a few times.

Li Hao didn't demolish him, but said, "Regarding Ren Xin's matter, don't talk too much after you go back, you have to be alone."

Chen Xi replied, "Yes, the slave must be cautious in her words and deeds."

A few days later, Zheng Zhuo came to Li Hao several times in order to get Li Hao to leave, but was stopped by Li Hao.

Until an edict was sent from the capital, asking Li Hao to return to the capital to participate in the mediation between Chu and Yan.

When Li Hao led his troops to encroach on the Qi State, the Chu State and the Yan State were not idle, and now they have basically occupied the Yuan State and the Yuan State.

It's just that when they were governing, they took much more radical measures than Li Hao, giving full play to their military superiority.

At the same time, coupled with the reason for the competition between the two families, the speed of attacking the city and grabbing the land was fast, and even before Li Hao, he had to capture the capitals of Tu and Yuan first, but there were also countless hidden dangers behind it.

When the soldiers and horses of the two countries were strong, it was okay to say, but when they wanted to enter the country of Yi again, the soldiers and horses in the occupied territory were inevitably diluted, and these people who cherished their homeland jumped out and pulled them back behind their backs.

For a time, it can be said that there are fires everywhere, and for this reason, most of the military forces of the two countries are all

I got involved.

If it weren't for the fact that An and Wu have not been in peace recently, they have no time to go south for the time being, but I am afraid that they will have to suffer a big loss.

Chu Guo and Yan Guo were also aware of this problem, but neither of them wanted to give up, so as not to fall behind when dividing Yiguo, so the scene was a bit deadlocked.

As a third party that does not involve interests, and is a member of the Triple Alliance, the role of the host country is also shown at this time.

Now that he has this edict, it is time for Li Hao to leave, and he began to arrange for Chen Xi to prepare for leaving.

After Zheng Zhuo learned the news, he hurriedly came over again, before he just hoped that Li Hao would leave, and he didn't have too much ambition for military power.

But now that Cui Ming took the initiative to recall Li Hao at this time, it made him more confident, and he began to want to get all the military power from Li Hao.

Li Hao also understood what he meant, so he didn't want to pay attention to him, and it was impossible for Li Hao to take the initiative to hand over the military power to him.

Anyway, the edict from Cui Ming did not remove Li Hao's position, and this time he left just for business.

Even if before leaving, if he wants to designate someone to temporarily take charge of the army, Li Hao has to arrange Zhang Yun or Chu Fan, after all, this is normal behavior.

Therefore, after getting the news of his coming, Li Hao directly asked people to say that he was dealing with urgent affairs in the mansion, and he did not see any guests for the time being, so he directly hung him in the hall to drink tea.

So Zheng Zhuo sat alone in the hall for a long time, drank a few cups of herbal tea, and forced him to go to the thatched house a few times.

Originally, even so, Zheng Zhuo didn't want to break in, but he heard the chat of his subordinates later, and heard that Li Hao had nothing to do inside, just just playing with him.

Finally, I couldn't help but get up, and broke in directly despite the dissuasion of my subordinates.

Although there were more people, due to identity reasons, they didn't dare to really do it, so they let him break in like this, so he could only hurriedly send someone in to report Chen Xi.

After Chen Xi got the news, as if it was a trivial matter, he didn't report it to Li Hao, and directly asked the visitor to wait next to him.

Without being effectively blocked, Zheng Zhuo quickly broke into the inner courtyard and saw Li Hao's figure at once.

After all, Li Hao was in the courtyard, lying leisurely on a rocking chair basking in the sun, and there were maids serving snacks and hot tea next to him, which was indeed more eye-catching.

Zheng Zhuo was furious all of a sudden, and he wanted to rush over in a hurry, but he quickly calmed down.

Knowing that he was really going to rush over directly, he was afraid that a crime of disrespecting the official would be the least, and he might even be named assassinated.

Although there is a high probability that he will not be convicted, it is also a troublesome matter to really make trouble, so he chose to stand in place and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, Your Highness has something important to discuss, and please take the time to meet Your Highness."

Li Hao didn't move when he heard the words, and directly waved his hand to let Chen Xi go over to deal with it.

Chen Xi came to Zheng Zhuo's side and said, "Your Highness is about to leave for the capital to return to the capital, so there are a lot of things to pack, and I don't have time to meet Lord Zheng for the time being, and I ask Lord Zheng to come back later."

Zheng Zhuo saw that Chen Xi was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and continued to say loudly, "Is Your Highness really busy?"

Li Hao didn't react to this, and Chen Xi also replied, "Of course, how could the slave and maid deceive Lord Zheng."

Zheng Zhuo had eaten a few closed doors, and he was already angry in his heart, but now that he was targeted like this, he also knew that it was impossible to find a breakthrough from Li Hao, so he simply couldn't bear it.

Just as he turned his head to leave, suddenly a subordinate walked in quickly and reported a few words in Chen Xi's ear.

Because Zheng Zhuo was not far away, he also heard a few words intermittently: "Master Chu...... Fuwai ......"

After Chen Xi listened, he turned back to Li Hao without paying attention to Zheng Zhuo, leaned down and made a return.

Immediately, Li Hao got up and left, ignoring Zheng Zhuo, who was standing in front of him the whole time, this kind of ignorance obviously stung him again.

Zheng Zhuo flicked his sleeves and walked out of the mansion directly, and met Chu Fan who was coming in to say hello, but he didn't hear it.

See you at Chu Fan

In this scene, I roughly guessed something, so I grabbed the attendant next to me and asked about what had just happened.

After learning all the things, when he saw Li Hao, he couldn't help but advise: "I know that His Royal Highness doesn't like this Zheng Zhuo, but he is a member of the court after all, and he still needs the courtesy he should give, even if it is pretending!"

Li Hao explained with a smile: "When it was time for Corporal Lixian, Lone would naturally do it, and this Zheng Zhuo came to find Lone to ask for military power.

Don't say that Lone won't give it to him, even if it is given to him, I'm afraid he won't be grateful, but laugh at Lone's stupidity in his heart.

That being the case, it doesn't matter if it's Corporal Lixian or not, it's better to have fun for yourself."

Seeing this, Chu Fan also wanted to dissuade him a few words, saying something about the embankment of a thousand miles and the beginning of ant collapse, so that Li Hao could adhere to his principles outside and not act according to his temper.

Li Hao really didn't want to listen to his nagging, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Okay, Gu knows, then let's get back to business first."

You must have known the will of your father, and Gu will soon leave for it, and then the soldiers and horses stationed in Qi will be ordered by you to take over, and I hope you can be ready."

Hearing this, Chu Fan agreed: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely deal with it carefully, and I will never let His Highness's hard work be buried."

Li Hao shook his head: "There is no need to be so absolute, sometimes, things should still change according to the times."
