Li Hao thought for a while but still rejected Ouyang Xiu's proposal, even though he won this time.
The relationship with Rongxian is not much better, but there is no need to deliberately provoke Rongxian.
However, thinking of Rong Xian's still ruthless appearance, he curiously asked: "Uncle, who knows this news now? I don't seem to know Rong Xian's appearance."
After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu replied: "Not many people know about this matter. I can only say that the two prime ministers must know it, and the British Duke should also know it. I am not sure about what other people say.
As for Rongxian not knowing, isn't this normal?
He got this official position only because of Concubine Rong's favor. He looked noble, but in fact, no matter whether he was from the civil service lineage or the martial arts family, there were very few people he had real friendship with. It was normal not to know the news. "
Li Hao naturally knew that what Ouyang Xiu said was right, but Li Hao knew that Rong Xian was already involved with King Yong. Logically speaking, this matter involved palace deployment. If King Yong knew about it, he would definitely inform Rong Xian.
Since Rongxian doesn't know now, it can be proved that at least among the people who know the news, there is no one from King Yong.
What Li Hao cares about is the position of those in the third government office. Unfortunately, Ouyang Xiu doesn't know the specific situation.
After chatting, Li Hao said goodbye and returned to the imperial camp, where he began to prepare for Zhao Zhen's arrival.
It was not until after midnight that Zhao Zhen's Xiaoyao chariot slowly appeared on the school grounds, followed by Zhao Zhen's escort team, also drawn from the Imperial Guard, a total of 400 people, divided into eight teams, each team Fifty people each.
After the escort arrived at their location, Zhao Zhen was greeted by a group of civil and military officials and left the chariot.
Everyone knelt down and saluted, and then the officials followed Zhao Zhen to the general ordering platform on the campus.
The soldiers of the imperial camp and imperial guards also stood up and prepared, but after a while, Zhao Zhen ordered Li Hao and Rong Xian to come up.
So Li Hao asked Gu Tingye to take over his command, and after giving instructions, he went up to the general station.
When Li Hao came up, Zhao Zhen was already talking to Rong Xian.
Seeing Li Hao coming up, Zhao Zhen said, "Do you have confidence in facing the Imperial Guards in this martial arts performance?"
Li Hao replied: "Weichen has already tried his best, so naturally he still has some confidence."
Zhao Zhen smiled: "Okay, in that case, let's take a good look. You two should accompany me."
The two of them agreed to Zhao Zhen's instructions, but they had already given instructions before coming up, and signaled that they could start at any time.
So Zhao Zhen ordered the British Duke to preside over it. At the British Duke's order, the golden drums sounded in the field, and the martial arts performance officially began. The first thing that started was the military formation drill.
The Imperial Guards took the stage first. Under the command of Chen Zhong, the Imperial Guards practiced Tiger Wing Formation and Snake Coil Formation on the school grounds, and made temporary changes in formations. This made many people who knew the military present watch. He nodded repeatedly.
But Zhao Zhen was a layman and didn't know much about battle formations. After watching it for a while, he asked the British father: "What do you think of this formation drill?"
The British Duke replied: "There is no chaos in the formation changes. The soldiers advance and retreat according to orders. They can be called elite."
Zhao Zhen nodded understandingly after hearing this, which made Rong Xian quite happy, but he soon felt the malice of this world.
….
After the Imperial Guards finished their drill and left the field, the Imperial Guards came on stage next.
According to the original plan, Gu Tingye first divided the troops into five square formations, each with five hundred people.
Originally, Li Hao wanted to walk down in a square formation, but in the end he found that it was really difficult to get 2,500 people to unify at the same pace.
So in order to reduce the difficulty, it was changed to this, but even so, the sound of the imperial army's goose-stepping footsteps sounded, and it still attracted everyone's attention.
Because this was different from the noisy sound when the Guards came on the field, the uniform footsteps suppressed the noise in the field.
Then as everyone looked around, they saw rows of soldiers in perfect order. No matter which direction they looked from,
There is a line horizontally and vertically.
Moreover, there was no confusion during the march. It seemed that everyone was taking steps at the same time, and the distance traveled was exactly the same.
In addition, Gu Tingye started the tune at this time, and everyone sang military songs at the same time. Suddenly, the only voice left in the entire field was the voice of the imperial army.
For Zhao Zhen, who was not familiar with military affairs, this scene was far more shocking than the battle formation drill of the Imperial Guard.
I couldn't help but blurt out: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect the Li Qing family to be so capable of training troops. This is really a mighty and majestic army."
Hearing this, Li Hao didn't know how to answer for a while. In terms of gold content, the battle formations of the Imperial Guard were much more difficult than his own formation.
But if you want Li Hao to tell the truth at this time, Li Hao is really not such a person.
But fortunately, Zhen didn't really intend to ask Li Hao to reply. Instead, he turned around and asked the British Duke: "Do you think this imperial army is better or worse than the imperial guards just now?"
Following Zhao Zhen's question, everyone's eyes were focused on it, wanting to hear the British Duke's answer and see if he was going to tell the truth or follow Zhao Zhen's words.
But after all, the British Duke was a veteran of three dynasties, and he did not favor anyone. Instead, he said: "Master Li has a strict formation and extremely strong spirit. He is definitely an elite teacher. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty."
Zhao Zhen laughed a few times after hearing this, but did not pursue the British father's statement that the bowl of water was flat.
Instead, he turned to Li Hao and Rong Xian and said, "In that case, it can be considered a draw between the two sides. The two Qing families have no objections."
Naturally, Li Hao has no objection to this. The weakest one on his side is tied, and he won't lose the other two items even if he thinks about it. He doesn't need others to favor him, he can win.
Rong Xian was naturally a little reluctant, but thinking that there were still two games to come, he could still win, and there was no need to worry about Zhao Zhen's bad luck, so he agreed.
The next result was just as Li Hao expected. In terms of mounted shooting and weapons drills, the two sides did not close the gap.
At this time Rongxian's face had become a little ugly.
But when it came to the actual duel practice, both sides came on the stage with wooden weapons and stood facing each other from left to right.
After the horns were blown on the stage, the two sides formed formations and walked towards each other. In terms of close combat, the imperial army actually had an advantage.
At the beginning of the battle in formation, this advantage was not obvious, but when the two sides faced off against each other, the overall formation was in chaos.
….
The role of several tough men such as Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan became prominent. In addition, the imperial camp army had experienced actual combat and had an advantage in small-scale fights.
As a result, the Imperial Guards could always use more numbers to deal with the Imperial Guards, and finally completely overthrew the Imperial Guards at the cost of half of the troops withdrawing.
Rong Xian originally had an ominous premonition after seeing Rong Xian halfway through, but when he actually saw the result, Rong Xian couldn't stand it at all.
Even the nobles next to him could hear whispers, some of which were making fun of the Imperial Guards, which made Rong Xian even more unhappy.
But Zhao Zhen still saved face for Rong Xian. He concluded: "The two Qing family members are all elite soldiers and strong generals. I am very satisfied with the performance of Wu today. This time, both the imperial camp and the imperial guards have Reward."
After hearing what Zhao Zhen said, the others saw that he still favored Rongxian, so naturally they didn't say anything else.
After Li Hao and Rong Xian thanked Zhao Zhen for his kindness, Zhao Zhen returned to the palace first.
As soon as Zhao Zhen left, Rong Xian also left on his own with a dark look on his face. In the end, Chen Zhong organized the imperial guards to go back.
As for Li Hao, it was really lively. Many people gathered around and praised Li Hao for leading the troops well. Even the British Duke and Grand Prime Minister Han Qi came to encourage him.
It wasn't until Gu Tingye finished reorganizing his army that Li Hao found an excuse to get rid of everyone and go back with the imperial army.
After returning to the western suburbs camp and settling in, Gu Tingye, Yang Wenyuan and the others surrounded them.
Asked: "This time we defeated the Imperial Guards, but we made a big splash. Did the officials say what reward we would give?"
Li Hao replied: "Why are you so anxious? There will definitely be rewards, but the Imperial Guards lost so miserably this time. It is impossible for the officials to slap Rong's commander in the face at this time.
Just wait, you should be able to come down in a few days. We have worked hard for so long this time. We will give everyone a day off tomorrow to let everyone have a good rest. "
After listening to Li Hao's words, everyone understood. When they heard that they could take a holiday, under the leadership of a few activists, everyone dispersed as soon as they took a breath.
Li Hao rested one night in the camp and returned to Bianjing the next day, waiting for him to enter his home.
Li Hao was cautious, fearing that if he met Mr. Wei somewhere, he would get into trouble again.
Then Li Jian came out of the backyard and saw this. He opened his mouth and said, "Don't act like a thief. Your mother went to Sheng's house early this morning and she hasn't come back yet."
After hearing this, Li Hao felt relieved and said, "Why didn't father follow us to the Sheng family to sit down?"
Li Jian replied: "Your mother went to talk to the old lady and Minglan, why should I go there.
If I have this time, I would rather go fishing in the pond. "
Hearing this, Li Hao smiled and said, "Okay, you go fishing, I'll go back to my room and rest."
Then he went back to his room with his head held high, but he didn't expect that someone in Sheng Mansion was talking about Li Hao at this time.
It turned out that Li Hao was quite in the limelight yesterday, and even Sheng Hong heard about it. After returning home, he told Mrs. Wang about it and expressed a few words of emotion.
It reminded Madam Wang of Ru Lan's marriage, so she mentioned it to Sheng Hong and said that she wanted Li Haoxiang to take a look.
This shocked Sheng Hong, and he quickly said: "You are causing trouble. The old lady may have had this idea for a long time, and wanted to show Minglan Xiang.
….
You even brought Ru Lan up with her. Wouldn't that make the old lady angry? "
Mrs. Wang replied: "Minglan is the granddaughter of the old lady, and so is Rulan. Why can't Rulan do it?"
And in the final analysis, the Li family is in charge of this matter. As long as their family agrees, it doesn't matter what the old lady says. "
Sheng Hong actually didn't care about this. Anyway, both Rulan and Minglan were his daughters, and whoever got married would be good for him.
But he still warned: "If you are willing to take care of this matter, go ahead and do it, but don't really anger the old lady, otherwise you can decide how to end it by yourself."
Hearing that Sheng Hong had no objection, Mrs. Wang also smiled and helped Sheng Hong to sleep shyly.
It just so happened that Mrs. Wei came to Sheng's house today just after she mentioned this matter yesterday. However, Mrs. Wei went directly to Shou'an Hall to talk to Minglan and the old lady.
So when Mrs. Wang got the news, she brought Ru Lan to Shouan Hall to pay her respects to the old lady.
After that, he was not in a hurry to leave, so he took Ru Lan to sit down in Shou'an Hall and chat with her.
Originally, Mrs. Wei was curious as to why Mrs. Wang came here specially.
Until Mrs. Wei talked about Pinlan and Zhang Wen's marriage, in the past three or four months, the process of three books and six etiquettes had come to an end.
It was said that the martial arts performance was over, and the imperial army was not so busy at the back. They were going to ask Zhang Wen to take a leave of absence. Mrs. Song personally took Zhang Wen to Youyang to settle the matter.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang wanted Ru Lan to marry even more.
And it just so happened that Li Hao was Zhang Wen's superior. Although the Li family was not a wealthy family, Li Hao was from a third-level family, so if he got married, he would be equal to others wherever he went.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to ask: "Speaking of which, it was Brother Hao who guaranteed the marriage of the Zhang family.
As for his own marriage, he doesn't care about anyone else. "
Mrs. Wei couldn't listen to this now. When she heard it, she thought of the day she talked with Li Hao.
But I couldn't say this to others, so I had to reply: "He is still young and not in a hurry. He doesn't see anyone for the time being."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said: "Yes, Brother Hao is not very old. However, he is now in a fifth-grade important position and is valued by officials. The opportunity for promotion is not far away.
As the saying goes, you have to start a family and start a career. If you haven't started a family by then, I'm afraid there will be some obstacles. "
After hearing this, the old lady also agreed with the rare thing and said: "What the madam said is reasonable, Brother Hao is a little younger after all.
If you never marry a wife, once you are in a high position, it is indeed easy for others to criticize you. "
After hearing what the old lady said, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but feel a little thoughtful.
Mrs. Wang saw that the old lady agreed, so she added: "The old lady is well-informed and what she said will definitely be good. Mrs. Wei should still see each other in Bianjing City.
But if you really want two families to get married, it’s always better to find someone else who doesn’t know the details, don’t you think? "
At first, Wei and the others were curious as to why Mrs. Wang was here, but after hearing these words, they finally understood.
….
Looking at Ru Lan who was brought by Madam Wang, Mrs. Wei didn't know what she meant.
But Wei wanted Li Hao to marry a girl from the Sheng family, but she wanted Minglan, not Rulan.
However, this matter was not made clear anyway, and after all, Minglan was a girl from the Sheng family, and she would have to be married by Madam Wang in the future. The Wei family did not want to have any dispute with Madam Wang.
Then he said: "Well, Mrs. Wang is right, but Li Hao has always had his own opinion, so he still has to find out about this matter.
I'll ask him for his opinion when I go back and see what he thinks. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said: "That's true, after all, he has to be willing.
In addition, Brother Hao is not already busy with martial arts. Now that he has some free time, he might as well let him go out and walk around. Maybe he will meet the right person. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei responded with a few words, then found an excuse and left.
After Mrs. Wei left, Mrs. Wang also left Shou'antang with Ru Lan.
At this time, the old lady asked Minglan: "You should understand what the lady said today."
Minglan replied: "My granddaughter understands that the eldest lady has taken a liking to her cousin and wants sister Rulan to marry her cousin."
The old lady asked again: "What about your thoughts? When you disagreed with this matter, it was because of Qi Heng. Now you should let it go."
But the old lady didn't wait for Minglan's answer, so she had to say: "That's all, I don't force this matter, just let it happen."
Naturally, the Wei family didn't know what happened to the Sheng family after that.
But when Mrs. Wei arrived home, she heard the report from her servants that Li Hao had returned home. Remembering what Mrs. Wang said, she asked her servants to call Li Hao.
But how dare Li Hao go, especially since the Wei family just came back from Sheng Mansion and immediately found someone to call him.
Li Hao knew that he was going to be unlucky, so he changed his clothes and sneaked out from behind regardless of his servants' obstruction.
After he came out, he didn't know what to do, so he planned to go find Gu Tingye and drag him out to have a drink.
However, when Li Hao arrived at Xiaotianshui Lane, he happened to find that Gu Tingwei was also there, urging Gu Tingye to return to the Hou Mansion.
Speaking of which, Li Hao still has some favorable impressions of Gu Tingwei in the drama version. After all, he was raised by the Xiao Qin family and his outlook on life can still remain normal, which shows that this person's character is indeed not bad.
After entering the courtyard, Li Hao greeted the two of them and then sat down to listen to their conversation.
But Gu Tingye seemed to be a little annoyed by Gu Tingwei's entanglement, so he asked as an excuse: "You came here today because there is something important in the camp that you want me to handle?"
After saying that, he gave Li Hao a secret signal and asked Li Hao to help drive Gu Tingwei away.
Li Hao understood clearly and said, "I really have something to discuss with you. This matter is quite important and I don't want others to know about it. You see..."
As he said this, he looked at Gu Tingwei, and Gu Tingye just said: "Ting Wei, I have something to deal with here, you go back first.
What you said, I
I know it too, let me think about it carefully. "
Gu Tingwei said: "Okay, then I'll go back first and you think about it carefully."
After saying that, he stood up, said hello to Li Hao, and then turned and left.
After Gu Tingye walked away, Li Hao asked, "What? I'm here to invite you back to the Marquis Mansion."
Gu Tingye replied: "Yes, my charitable mother asked him to come." After saying that, he didn't want Li Hao to ask further questions, so he asked directly: "By the way, why did you come to see me today?"
Li Hao said, "Oh, it's okay. I was bored and wanted to go out for a drink with you."
After listening to Li Hao's words, Gu Tingye refused: "Forget it, I haven't been back for a long time. I plan to spend time with Sister Rong and Brother Chang at home today, so I won't go out. You can go by yourself."
When he heard that Gu Tingye wanted to accompany his child, Li Hao prepared to leave without forcing him.
But before Li Hao got up, Gu Tingye came over and asked softly: "By the way, what you said last time can be accomplished? Is there any news now?"
Li Hao replied: "Don't worry, there will definitely be no problem with this matter.
But in this case, someone needs to lead the team and stay in the palace. I want you to be this person. Is there any problem? "
