Li Hao's arrangement for the two army commanders was to let Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan serve respectively. Xu Ning became Gu Tingye's deputy and continued to be the deputy commander, while Wen Shao followed Yang Wenyuan as his deputy and was promoted to deputy commander.
Because of the situation in Bianjing, especially when the emperor is old and the heir apparent is undecided, it is most important to have the ability and background to stabilize the situation.
Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan are like this. One has the ability, the other has the background, and the two have a better relationship with Li Hao, so Li Hao is naturally willing to use them.
As for Xu Ning and Yuan Wenshao, Yuan Wenshao was promoted anyway, so there was nothing much to say.
Xu Ning was only slightly wronged. In this regard, Li Hao gave some compensation from the property rewarded by the officials and previous seizures.
In addition, he is from the Gu family, and now he is working under Gu Tingye, so Gu Yankai will naturally come to help comfort him, so Li Hao is relieved.
After talking about the job arrangements, Li Hao explained the current situation in Bianjing, mainly based on what he heard from Ouyang Xiu and what he saw in the TV series. He picked up what he could say.
Let a few people be mentally prepared, unify their thoughts, and know how difficult the following things may be.
Then the last thing was to tell Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan to find a way to kick out Sun Hu, Chen Xian, Wang Bi, Hu Hai, Zhang Xing and Zhou Wu.
After all, there will be many demons in Bianjing City. Keeping these restless ones around will not guarantee that they will not become time bombs in the end. It is better to let them harm others.
After making sure that Gu Tingye and the others understood what he meant, Li Hao asked them to go down and do their work.
After they got busy, Li Hao naturally couldn't be idle, so he ran into Bianjing to find Ouyang Xiu, intending to ask him to help arrange a meeting with Jia Kui, the commander of the Ma Army Division, and Song Shou, the commander of the Infantry Division.
See if you can communicate in advance about the scope of authority of Kaifeng Prefecture, the three government agencies and yourself, so that unclear authority and responsibilities will cause problems later in the province.
But it was obvious that people were reluctant to talk to Li Hao, a low-ranking official like him, and they all said they didn't have time.
There was no other way, so Li Hao had to find a way by himself, so after Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan found the opportunity to transfer the six Sun Hus away.
Li Hao called the two of them over and asked them to explain the subsequent recruitment of manpower. Now he would deal with the communication issues with Jia Kui and Song Shouyue.
Anyway, Li Hao didn't believe that Jia Kui and Song Shouyue dared not even give Marquis Ningyuan and Duke Ling the face. If they were so awesome, Li Hao would be convinced.
But obviously these two people are not so good. Not two days later, news came from Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan.
With Duke Ling personally coming forward, Jia Kui and Song Shooyue did not mention the division of responsibilities, but simply designated an area from the new city and the old city to Li Hao, as if they did not want to be implicated.
Of course, the plots that were set aside were sparsely populated and remote places, and the supervision of the western suburbs camp was also handed over to Li Hao.
Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan were dissatisfied with this, and wanted to talk to Jia Kui and Song Shouyue again.
But he was persuaded by Li Hao. At this time, Li Hao didn't want to be in the limelight, so he should develop quietly and slowly.
However, this move also made Jia Kui and Song Shouyue feel that Li Hao was weak and could be bullied, so they did not take Li Hao seriously in the future.
Of course, Li Hao didn't take care of this for the time being, because that day Li Hao received a message from the Marquis of Huining, asking Li Hao to come over and continue.
Although the specific reason was not mentioned, Li Hao knew that Zhang Wen must have caused the trouble, so he sent someone to call Zhang Wen and ask him what he told Huining Hou.
The reward is that Zhang Wen has taken leave and will not come today.
Now Li Hao felt even more uneasy. It was estimated that today's event must be the Hongmen Banquet.
Then I couldn't go alone, I had to take someone with me to support me. At this moment, I remembered Gu Tingye's encouragement in Youyang, and I decided to take him with me.
So Li Hao called Gu Tingye over to preemptively destroy Gu Tingye's prestige so that he could be manipulated. He then said: "Zhang Wen must be under your command. Why didn't you come today? I never saw his leave notice."
Gu Tingye replied: "He just sent the leave document after he returned yesterday. I handed it to you early this morning. Didn't you see it?"
Li Hao said: "Where did the leave request post come from? I have never seen it. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. Don't make excuses here."
Gu Tingye heard this and did not refute. He went directly to the desk and found the leave document from among the pile of documents and handed it to Li Hao.
When Li Hao saw that it was indeed Zhang Wende, he coughed twice and said, "Oh, maybe I was too busy with official duties just now, so I didn't notice it for a moment."
Seeing Li Hao like this, Gu Tingye said: "Since there is nothing to do, I will leave first. I have a lot of things to be busy with."
But Li Hao couldn't let Gu Tingye go now, so he grabbed him and told the truth.
When he heard that it was Marquis Huining who was looking for him, Gu Tingye naturally refused to get involved in this bad luck, so he said: "The post is for you, you just go on your own, why are you holding me back?"
Li Hao heard what Gu Tingye said and said angrily: "Back then you were instigating Zhang Wende in Youyang, and now you want to break off the relationship. Believe it or not, I will tell Marquis Huining when I go.
The reason why Zhang Wen is like this is all because of your secret instigation. You will see if they can cause trouble for you then. "
"Why do you have to do this? It's not enough for me to go."
Gu Tingye said helplessly at first, but then he came up with an idea.
"But we can't go there together. I don't know if your words have any weight in front of Marquis Huining, but my words are probably useless."
Li Hao asked: "What's your idea? Let me hear it."
Gu Tingye suggested: "Let's take Yang Wenyuan, this guy has a tight mouth and won't spread the word.
Moreover, he has always had a good reputation in the noble family of Bianjing Xun. In addition, he has also met Miss Pinlan, so what he said should have some weight. "
Li Haoyi thought this was a good idea, but if he told the truth directly now, Yang Wenyuan might not be willing to accompany the two of them to Huininghou Mansion.
So after further discussion, they just said they would go out for a drink, and then they took Yang Wenyuan and went directly to the door of Huining Hou Mansion.
By this time, Yang Wenyuan only thought that he was going out to have a drink with Zhang Wen.
But when he arrived in front of the mansion, Li Hao told Yang Wenyuan the truth.
Upon hearing this, Yang Wenyuan was a little confused. His subconscious reaction was to turn around and run away, but as soon as he turned around, he was caught by Gu Tingye.
Yang Wenyuan said: "Why do you come to me for this matter? I don't even know what the situation is?"
Li Hao said: "What could this be? It's just that Zhang Wen fell in love with Miss Pinlan, and then Zhang Wen and his parents told him that now Huining Hou and his wife are planning to come to us to ask about the situation."
"But what does this have to do with me? I don't know about this. Just go and let you go." Yang Wenyuan said while trying to break free from Gu Tingye's hand.
"You see, we are all friends. You have come, so it would be inappropriate not to go in together.
If you leave us behind, then you really aren't friends enough. "Li Hao advised.
Hearing Li Hao's words, Yang Wenyuan was a little confused. It happened that a servant of Huininghou Mansion recognized Yang Wenyuan and Gu Tingye.
He directly opened the door of the mansion and welcomed him out. Seeing that Yang Wenyuan had no choice but to enter the Huining Hou Mansion together with Li Hao and Gu Tingye.
