After meeting with the people from Liyuan, Li Hao found that he had to send people to help them repair the house.
He didn't want to do it, but he found that it was still business and he had to do it himself. This made Li Hao try to reason.
I originally thought that it was in the hands of Gao Qiu that the Forbidden Army would become a mason. However, seeing the exquisite craftsmanship of Chen Zhong's soldiers, it is conceivable that they must have done this job more than once.
Anyway, as the birthday preparations continued to progress, Li Hao felt more and more that his men were not fighting men, but carpenters, masons, and sanitation workers.
Li Hao was tired after watching all this going on, but there was another thing that also concerned him.
Even when dealing with Yamen officials from Liyuan, Kaifeng Mansion, and Du Shuijian, Li Hao always felt that they looked at him strangely.
Li Hao didn't care at first, but gradually he couldn't bear it anymore. But ask them, no one said the reason.
It wasn't until Li Hao met Sheng Hong in the ceremony hall again that he understood the meaning of this look.
It turns out that after the news of Zhang Wen and Pinlan's engagement spread throughout Bianjing, many people were curious about why the Ninghou couple were willing to let their legitimate son marry the daughter of a merchant.
Then Huininghou and his wife pushed the matter to Li Hao, saying that it was because of Li Hao that they got married. As for the specific reason, it is difficult to disclose.
At this time, others thought that Li Hao had some unique secrets that could help people get married.
So in the house of people who wanted to climb high, Li Hao became the living elder. If Li Hao hadn't been busy outside these days, someone would have come to visit and asked Li Hao to help him arrange a marriage.
After saying this, Sheng Hong invited Li Hao to sit at home after finishing his work.
That kind of tone was completely different from the past, with a very flattering tone. It was obvious that he took this matter seriously and wanted to help him marry Ru Lan, Mo Lan and Ming Lan.
This made Li Hao really speechless and hurriedly explained to Sheng Hong: "Uncle really misunderstood. Pinlan and Zhang Wen are just in love. I really don't have the ability."
After hearing this, Sheng Hong said: "I know, let's not talk here. When you have time, you can come to my house and we can talk slowly."
Li Hao thought to himself, what can I talk to you about? If I really had this ability, I wouldn't talk to you either.
After that, he simply said goodbye and left. If you can't offend him, you can always hide away.
However, this matter not only caused Li Hao some troubles, but also brought some benefits.
At least some petty officials who were usually difficult to talk to were extremely polite when facing Li Hao, which made Li Hao's affairs much smoother.
However, just when everyone was busy with the Qianyuan Festival, news suddenly came from the palace that broke the current situation.
It turned out that Zhao Zhen suddenly felt unwell a few days ago. After being diagnosed by the imperial doctor, he did not get better and was bedridden for a time.
So at this time, Zhao Zhen ordered on his couch that everything should be kept simple this Qianyuan Festival, and the morning court was suspended, so that all officials could perform their duties and were not allowed to take leave.
After receiving the order, everyone else said that they would just go back to the Yamen to handle their errands.
But it was troublesome for the Imperial Guards and Royal Camp Army who had already changed their manpower.
Without the approval of the officials, and it was a critical moment when the officials were seriously ill, no one could afford to mobilize the army without authorization.
So Li Hao's imperial camp troops and imperial guardsmen stayed mixed together in the western suburbs camp.
As for Gu Tingye, it was not convenient to communicate with him at this time, and Li Hao no longer knew what was going on in the palace.
Moreover, as time went by, the official's family was seriously ill and had not recovered, and all the officials in the court were worried.
After all, the crown prince had not been established at this time, and both King Yong and King Yan were in the capital. Once Zhao Zhen suddenly passed away, Bianjing would immediately be in chaos.
Therefore, Han Qi and Grand Prime Minister Fu Bi have been staying in the palace these days, persuading officials all day long to select candidates early to appease the people of the world.
However, unlike other people's worries, Li Hao did not think that Zhao Zhen would die at this time, but according to history or the drama, Zhao Zhen could still live for a while.
Another question is whether King Yan will take this opportunity to rebel.
Li Hao thought about it and thought it was impossible. After all, half of Rong Xian's troops were not in the palace, while half of Li Hao's troops stayed in the palace.
One plus one minus, in such a sudden situation, Rong Xian's chances of succeeding were slim. If the emperor was not captured immediately, the western suburbs camp would be able to wipe out the rebels in an instant.
Therefore, Li Hao's mentality has been maintained very well.
But after half a month, Zhao Zhen's body showed no signs of getting better, and he even began to fall into coma. This made Li Hao start to become anxious, fearing that there might be some chain reaction caused by his time travel. .
Just when Li Hao began to worry, martial law began in the western suburbs camp. Ningyuan Marquis Gu Yankai and Ling Guogong Yang Zilong also came to the camp to stay.
Together with the commanders at all levels and officers below Du Yuhou and below, all stayed in the camp and were not allowed to go out.
This completely cut off Li Hao's news from the outside, until finally Cao Jingxiu came to the western suburbs camp, bringing military talismans and the queen's handwriting, hoping to dispatch the imperial army into the city.
But in the end, he was blocked by Ling Guogong and said that troops could not be mobilized in the western suburbs camp without official orders.
But Cao Jingxiu said: "The imperial camp army is under the Imperial City Division, directly under the government, and not under the jurisdiction of the three government offices. Now that I have taken the military talisman and the handwriting, you have no right to stop me."
But Ning Guogong still refused to agree to let Cao Jingxiu mobilize troops. When the two were in a stalemate, Gu Yankai said: "Master Cao is only deploying people to maintain public order in Bianjing. I don't think there is a need for so many people.
Now there are two armies with a total of 5,000 people in the western suburbs camp. I think Lord Cao can handle it by sending one army into the city. What does Lord Cao think? "
After hearing this, Cao Jingxiu began to weigh it.
At this time, Ling Guogong also said: "You can only mobilize one army at most, or you can't mobilize them at all. You can make your choice."
Seeing that there was no other way, Cao Jingxiu had no choice but to agree to mobilize an army into the city.
Then he called Li Hao and asked for his opinion.
What can I say to Li Hao? Of course, he transferred Yang Wenyuan's army. Firstly, these are Li Hao's old subordinates and are more trustworthy. Secondly, many of the officers in this army come from the Lord's family. Letting them enter the capital can also make people more trustworthy. rest assured.
As for the reason for telling Cao Jingxiu and others, it is also very simple.
Originally, Yang Wenyuan and the others were responsible for the defense of Bianjing, and they were familiar with many things. They were far more familiar with the situation than those who came from the Imperial Guard, and they could also cooperate with Kaifeng Mansion more tacitly.
Cao Jingxiu also agreed with Li Hao's reasons. Gu Yankai and Yang Zilong naturally had no objections, so he asked Li Hao to go back and organize his troops, and then followed Cao Jingxiu into the city.
