Chapter Seventy-Five: Picking Clearly
This is done by the two princes who look down on Li Tongguang the most, and they want to disgust Li Tongguang.
But as their subordinates, when it comes to specific actions, they also have to weigh it so as not to get burned.
Compared with the current flourishing Su country, Wu Guo is obviously easier to bully, so the Wu State mission was selected.
But it was precisely like this that gave Ning Yuanzhou a chance to be handsome.
In order to show the momentum and avoid letting the Anguo people see clearly, the people of the Liudaotang led by Ning Yuanzhou were all guarding outside on high-headed horses.
When he found that the rotten vegetable leaves had fallen, they all jumped up, played with their cloaks and rolled all the vegetable leaves back, and then returned to the horse with a calm face.
The Anguo people who provoked onlookers exclaimed in surprise and began to mumble one after another, but they washed away the sense of guilt that Emperor Wu brought to them when he entered the city before.
After this episode, Li Tongguang continued to lead everyone to set off and came to the Siyi Pavilion where the mission rested.
The previous mission that came to Angola also lived here, and after receiving the news of the mission's arrival today, they waited outside the embassy early.
Therefore, when he saw them, Gu Fuchuan stepped forward to say hello to Li Tongguang.
Then Li Hao and the others separated from the team and joined them and entered the Siyi Pavilion first.
As for Yang Ying and them, they still need to wait for the officials of the Siyi Pavilion to arrange them one by one.
The specific settlement work is naturally done by special people, and Li Hao took Ren Xin and the chief and deputy envoys of the mission into a room to talk.
Although he had sent a letter to explain before, he told them that Li Hao was pretending to be his identity this time, and asked them to pay attention to their words and deeds after meeting.
But after all, it was the first meeting after the assassination, and Xiong Shanqi, the chief envoy of this other mission, and Wu Shiyan, the deputy envoy, were still a little excited.
Seeing this, Li Hao could only speak comfortingly, and reminded, "Okay, didn't I send a message to you a long time ago and inform you of the specific situation!
Now I'm just an ordinary Ministry of Rites official, you just need to treat it normally, after all, this is in Andu."
Only then did the two restrain their emotions and slowly return to normal.
"In the past, we could only learn about the situation in Andu through letters, and it was inevitable that there would be some omissions and biases.
You've been here for quite some time, so let's talk about what's happening in Andu lately."
After getting Li Hao's order, Xiong Shanqi briefly sorted out his thoughts and began to tell from his own point of view, while Wu Shiyan helped to supplement it on the side.
The two started with the situation of befriending officials, and slowly extended to the changes in the government of Anguo, and finally added the errand in their hands, that is, the situation of the female dependents of each family.
After listening to the words of the two, Li Hao had a rough idea in his heart, especially about the two princes of Anguo.
They arrived at Andu before the decisive battle of Anwu, when Emperor An was leading a group of courtiers.
The reception of the mission was presided over by the two princes who were in Andu at that time, and these two princes showed great enthusiasm for the Suguo mission, and even took the initiative to recommend suitable candidates to Xiong Shanqi.
Li Hao can understand this very well, after all, now that the position of the crown prince of Anguo is undecided, the strength of the supporters behind them is equal.
In order to be able to break the situation and overwhelm the other party, you need the support of external forces, and Li Hao, the prince of Suguo, is undoubtedly a good choice.
It's just that their enthusiasm did not continue forever, and when the news of Li Hao's assassination in Qidu reached Andu, it immediately dissipated.
It wasn't until Li Falcon returned to Andu this time and asked about the mission of the host country that it began to heat up again.
It is precisely because of this that in Xiong Shanqi's words, the evaluation of these two princes is not very high.
It's not that he holds grudges, but these two people only focus on the present, without the overall situation and long-term vision.
Li Hao did not comment on their opinions, but after listening to them, he asked, "Listening to what you just said, none of the people from the three major departments of Shadong, Shazhong, and Shaxi have come forward
Is it?"
Xiong Shanqi replied: "I once talked to the prince of Anguo about this matter, according to what he said after drinking, it was because Emperor An had sent a letter back to Andu and made a special trip to mention this matter, so the three departments would be like this."
Li Hao couldn't help but muttered to himself when he heard this: "This Li Falcon is still guarding against myself in the end!" It seems that he is not too confident in Zheng Zhuo."
It's just that Zheng Zhuo's intention to rebel was not clear to Xiong Shanqi and others, and Li Hao didn't say it in front of them.
Facing Li Hao's silence, Xiong Shanqi asked, "Then what are we going to do next, do you want to take the initiative to find the people of these three departments and test it."
Li Hao shook his head: "No, after Li Falcon returned to Andu, haven't you been summoned yet!" You will start to ask for a meeting tomorrow, and if you want to take the test, you will directly use it as an interview, and you will also use the affairs of the people of Beipan to put pressure on him and make him pay attention to it."
After Xiong Shanqi received the order, Li Hao didn't have anything to say for the time being, so he asked him to take him to see the bedroom and introduce the situation of the Siyi Pavilion by the way.
As an old power, Anguo has not had good relations with other countries because of Li Falcon's reckless militarism.
But this basic sentiment is still there, so every birthday festival, countries will send envoys to come.
In order to accommodate all these people, the scale of this Siyi Pavilion was not small, and there were several courtyards separated from it.
Nowadays, the missions of Su and Wu are each living in a courtyard, which is more than enough to settle.
After returning to his bedroom, Li Hao only left Ren Xin and sent Xiong Shanqi and them away.
"This is your territory, tomorrow will be fine, let's go outside."
Ren Xin smiled when he heard this: "You have a big heart, so you are not afraid of Emperor An's summons."
Li Hao explained: "It won't be so soon, he is just waiting to see if Zheng Zhuo has any hope of success, or how much impact he can have on Su Guo, so as to determine his attitude towards this matter.
After all, if Zheng Zhuo succeeds, then this marriage is not necessary, he can just use the army to seize what he wants.
On the other hand, if I take down Zheng Zhuo at a very small price, then he should pay attention to this matter in order to ease the relationship and lay the foundation for the future."
With Ren Xin's understanding of Emperor An, this is indeed something he can do.
It's just that based on Emperor An's ability to toss people, if he can't toss Su Guo, he is afraid that this energy will only be used on Wu Guo's head, so he can't help but sigh with emotion: "Then it seems that the Wu Kingdom Mission will have a headache for a while."
In fact, at this time, the Wuguo mission had already felt this.
After entering the Siyi Pavilion and completing the handover, Li Tongguang was about to leave.
Before leaving, he specially called Ning Yuanzhou aside and said, "Our Majesty always likes to do things unexpectedly, I estimate that in the next two days, we should summon your King Li into the palace."
Saying that, Li Tongguang glanced at Yang Ying and said, "In addition, I have one thing to remind you that there has always been a lot of speculation in the court about your identity as the king of Li, and Your Majesty will definitely find a way to give it a try, and I hope you can be prepared at that time."
Ning Yuanzhou's heart tightened, but his face did not change: "His Royal Highness King Li is a member of the royal family, so he is naturally not afraid to try, but thank you Changqing Hou for your reminder."
Li Tongguang smiled slightly: "I hope so, and remember what you promised me."
Ning Yuanzhou affirmed: "Changqing Hou, rest assured, the matter of Beipan is related to my safety in Dawu, and we naturally dare not forget it."
After Li Tongguang left the Siyi Pavilion, Ning Yuanzhou gathered Yang Ying and the others together.
"As Li Tongguang said when he left just now, Emperor An is very likely to summon us in the next two days, and it is very likely that he will arrange a test of His Highness's identity at that time."
Then I asked them if they could cope.
It's just that now this is in other countries' territory, and there is not much they can actually do.
After a moment of silence, Yu 13 proposed, "We have no way of knowing what means Emperor An will use, so we can only see the moves.
To be on the safe side
See, when His Royal Highness enters the palace, it is best to have someone around to remind him.
However, Emperor An may not let us all enter the palace, or let people pretend to be internal eunuchs, so it is logical to be by His Royal Highness's side."
For Yu Thirteen's proposal, Ning Yuanzhou expressed his support, because this is indeed very likely to happen.
Especially their Liudaotang status, the probability of being allowed to enter the palace is even smaller.
Now that this is certain, it is up to this candidate to be well chosen.
It's just that Ning Yuanzhou looked around, and it seemed that except for Yuan Lu, the image of the other people and the inner prison was really far apart.
He said decisively, "Yuanlu, you will be the inner prisoner at that time."
Yuan Lu was shocked at first after hearing this, and his finger couldn't help pointing at himself, confirming with Ning Yuanzhou.
After seeing Ning Yuanzhou nodding in confirmation, he replied, "I, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle this thing."
Ning Yuanzhou replied: "You have to believe in yourself, and you look at these other people, all of them are five big and three thick, if they really pretend to be internal prisons, they will not be recognized at a glance."
Yuan Lu looked at Yu 13 and Qian Zhao, and thought that it seemed that this was indeed the case, so he could only be forced to admit it.
And looking at Yuan Lu's distressed appearance, Yu Thirteen was interested, and teased: "Since this is the case, in order to be able to pretend to be more like, you must prepare in advance."
As he spoke, he coaxed Yuanlu to take him to make up and find clothes, and let him mix it up first.
Sun Lang also saw that the excitement was not a big deal, so he echoed it.
This is also a serious matter, Ning Yuanzhou didn't bother to care, so he said to Du Changshi and Lady Pei, "The two of you will accompany His Highness to practice how to enter the palace and play right, and I will go to the Suzhou delegation to have a look."
Maybe Emperor An will summon the two missions at the same time, and I hope they can also help take care of it."
After the two of them agreed, Ning Yuanzhou found the delegation of the Su country and wanted to see Li Hao.
When Li Hao heard the report, he was also a little strange, but he didn't refuse, but asked someone to bring him over and receive him in the courtyard.
"At this time, your country's mission must not have been packed up, why do you have time to talk to me?"
Ning Yuanzhou didn't hide it, and went straight to the point: "There is something I want to ask Master Li for help with, and you also know the situation of His Royal Highness my family, I am worried that if she faces the saint alone, something may go wrong.
Therefore, if it is the envoys of your two countries and we are summoned by Emperor An at the same time, I hope that Master Li can help take care of it.
Of course, if it's inconvenient, Master Li doesn't have to force it."
Li Hao didn't think that Li Falcon would summon the Suguo delegation at this time, but anyway, it was a matter of if, so he agreed: "This is naturally a trivial matter, although it may not be me to enter the palace at that time, but I will talk to Xiong Zheng Envoy and Gu Zheng Envoy in advance, and those who can help will definitely help, Ning Tang Master rest assured."
"Thank you, Master Lee." Ning Yuanzhou paused for a moment after speaking, and then continued to speak: "But in fact, there has always been a problem in my heart, along the way, Lord Li has helped us many times, presumably it should be more than just impatience for justice and righteousness.
If there is anything that Master Li needs to do, he will do his best."
Ning Yuanzhou has been thinking about this question for a long time, he doesn't believe that there will be a good thing about pie in the world, so he wants to ask what price needs to be paid.
As for saying that just reaping benefits and not doing things, Ning Yuanzhou didn't think that Li Hao was a good person.
It's just that Li Hao really didn't think about letting Ning Yuanzhou do anything, he just needed him to do a good job of rescuing Emperor Wu.
It's just that considering how much Ning Yuanzhou thinks about it, after all, the people who are the bosses playing tactics in these years have hearts, who knows if Ning Yuanzhou will treat others with himself.
Therefore, he said, "There is indeed a plan for the next, but it is not time to say it for the time being.
However, Ning Hall Master can rest assured, he will definitely not embarrass Ning Hall Master in the future, let alone conflict with Ning Hall Master's task, otherwise Ning Hall Master can refuse."
Although Ning Yuanzhou was still a little unsteady in his heart, with Li Hao's words, at least he had a number in his heart.
peaceful
Yuanzhou still has a lot of things to deal with, and he won't stay here long after the talks.
It's just that although Ning Yuanzhou knew that Emperor An would be surprised, he didn't expect Emperor An to be surprised, and before the three watches, an attendant came, and summoned Yang Ying into the palace to see him.
You must know that the third watch is also the sub-hour, that is, around eleven o'clock in the evening, and it has not even been overnight.
Not long after Yang Ying lay down, she was woken up by the sharp voice of the inner supervisor, and asked what was the matter with a confused face.
Yuan Lu came to the door at this time and explained the situation, and Lady Pei hurriedly came out to help Yang Ying change her clothes.
After changing her clothes as quickly as possible, Yang Ying and Du Xing came out to see the internal prison of Anglia.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the inner eunuch said, "The Holy Lord's decree that the king of Xuanwu will immediately enter the palace to meet him."
When Du Xing heard this, he was dissatisfied and said, "It's not yet the third watch."
The inner supervisor directly blocked back: "The fifth watch of the early dynasty will start, and there will be many hundred officials waiting for the third watch."
This is also the truth, Du Xing's momentum is weakened now, Ning Yuanzhou added: "Summoning the king of our country, don't you even have an edict?"
But the inner supervisor was even more stubborn: "Why, didn't you hear clearly! The Holy Decree, there is no Holy Decree, I don't want to be edicted, right?
Cheng, then our family will go back to the palace to resume their lives."
As he spoke, he turned around and left, feeling like he didn't care at all.
Now it is Wuguo who asks for help, and this big disrespectful charge obviously cannot be recited.
Yang Ying could only take the initiative to come out and say, "Wait, you didn't say no, you dare to be in front of you."
But the inner supervisor ignored Yang Ying's words at all, and still said in a strange manner: "Then our family is waiting in the palace."
After finishing speaking, he was about to leave again, but he was stopped by Ning Yuanzhou again: "Wait, is it only us who have been summoned, and the mission of the host country does not need to go?"
"Your Majesty has summoned you only." At this time, the internal supervisor was already a little impatient, and he didn't wait for them to react, so he just dropped a sentence and left.
