Li Hao rushed back to Bianjing that day, preparing to contact Gu Tingye to discuss with him how to deal with the possible chaos that would follow.
However, Gu Tingye was stationed in the imperial city and could not leave the palace at any time, so Li Hao had to go to the palace to find him.
Of course, the situation in the palace is complicated, and specific matters cannot be discussed in the palace. This time Li Hao only asked Gu Tingye to make an appointment, and asked Gu Tingye to come out of the palace to find him as soon as possible.
But what Li Hao didn't expect was that after Li Hao entered the palace, before he could see Gu Tingye, he was found by Rong Xian who came after hearing the news.
Then he insisted on asking Li Hao to talk. In the end, there was no other way but Li Hao had to follow Rong Xian away, just in time to hear what Rong Xian was planning.
After following Rong Xian back to the Imperial Guard Yamen and sitting down, Rong Xian first asked, "Why did you suddenly come to the palace today?"
After hearing this, Li Hao knew that Rong Xian entered the palace because he felt that he had entered the palace for the news of the crown prince.
After all, as soon as the news spread, he entered the palace, it was hard not to think of it.
However, Li Hao didn't mind others knowing. Everyone was curious about this kind of thing, not to mention that it was closely related to everyone.
Of course, Li Hao would not say this directly, so he replied: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't been to the palace for a long time, and I have time today to see how Gu Tingye and the others are doing during this time.
Now that I met Commander Rong, I just wanted to ask if they were doing everything right in the palace. If there was anything they didn't do well, Commander Rong could just tell them and I would teach them a lesson. "
After hearing this, Rongxian did not answer, but asked everyone in the hall to evacuate.
Then he said: "The news has spread in the palace that King Yan will be appointed as the crown prince. You must have heard about it. Entering the palace at this time just to ask some trivial matters is not very convincing."
After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "I know the news, but I am really just here to ask Gu Tingye for questions. Commander Rong is overthinking."
But since Rong Xian had brought the topic here, Li Hao didn't mind testing it, so he said: "But since Commander Rong mentioned it, I also want to ask your opinion. After all, you are resident in the palace, and you are Concubine Rong's brother is naturally better informed than us, so what does he think about this matter?"
After hearing this, Rongxian said: "Although Master Li and I have not met many times, we still have some friendship, and I can trust your character.
So I will tell you some truth, and it will come out of my mouth and into your ears right here. "
Li Hao replied: "Okay, Commander Rong, please tell me."
Rongxian said: "You are familiar with Ouyang Fuyin. I think you should know something about my sister. From the bottom of my heart, I just don't like the Yong family. They are arrogant and domineering and despise the king's law."
Hearing what he said, Li Hao almost thought that Rong Xian was going to have a showdown with him. He was really worried that after he refused, dozens of swordsmen would rush in and try to kill him suddenly.
But fortunately, Rongxian's next words changed his meaning: "But the position of prince is established by the official family, and it's hard to say anything as a minister.
I can only serve the officials one more time. When the new king comes to the throne in the future, I will naturally not be able to do the command of the Imperial Guard.
….
If you are lucky then, you may be able to return to your hometown to spend your remaining years.
In addition to me, you also have to consider your future. You now have military power in Bianjing City and even in the palace, and you have never surrendered to King Yong. If he ascends the throne, I am afraid he will not be able to tolerate you. "
After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "So Commander Rong wants to give me a clear path? You might as well tell me."
Rongxian did not hesitate and said directly: "What way can I show you? I just want to remind you that King Yong is the future prince after all, and it is not easy to offend him. You can show your kindness to him appropriately. You have a good future ahead of you."
Li Hao said doubtfully: "Is Commander Rong trying to help King Yong persuade me?"
Rongxian replied: "I am thinking about your future and want to tell you something sincere."
After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "That's right.
No need, let alone he is not the prince yet. Even if he is the prince, the official family is still there. Even if he ascends the throne in the future, what will happen.
I am a civil servant, and I am not without foundation in the court. The worst thing I can do is not do this job, and just leave it to other places. "
After hearing this, Rongxian replied: "That's true. The preferential treatment given by this dynasty to civil servants can only mean their future at best."
At this point, Li Hao planned to make an excuse to leave, but before leaving, Li Hao specifically asked: "King Yong killed Miss Feiyan, do you really not hold grudges?"
It seemed that Li Hao's words were a bit unexpected, so Rong Xian was stunned for a moment and then said: "What can I do if I hold a grudge? The official decree wants him to inherit the throne, and there is nothing I can do about it."
After hearing this answer, Li Hao stood up and left.
When Li Hao found Gu Tingye, he briefly asked about their situation in the palace, and then agreed on a time and place to meet Gu Tingye outside the palace.
Then he left the palace and waited for Gu Tingye to come out to meet him.
In addition, Li Hao also had to find a way to get Wei and Li Jian to leave the capital during this period to avoid being dragged into the palace as hostages by Concubine Rong.
At the same time, in addition to the Wei family, the generals and officials in their own camp, especially those from noble families, must also find ways to get them to leave Bianjing temporarily, so as not to be involved in the situation and have their hands tied.
It's not easy to find a reason that allows people to leave reasonably without making people suspicious.
There is simply still time for Li Hao to think about it slowly.
On the evening of the second day, Gu Tingye came to Li Mansion to visit and discuss with Li Hao.
After meeting, Gu Tingye asked first: "I heard from you yesterday that you were dragged to talk by Rong Xian. What exactly did you say?"
Li Hao then told Gu Tingye what he said yesterday. After listening to it, Gu Tingye said: "Rongxian is trying to test you to see if you will turn to King Yong because of the fact that King Yong was appointed as the crown prince. .”
Li Hao replied: "I think so too. After all, our five thousand troops are not that few, and you are still in the palace, so it is even more important.
He has to help test our position, but no matter what I say, our defense is indispensable. "
Gu Tingye agreed: "That's true. Unless we fall directly to King Yan, he will have to guard against us no matter what.
….
What do you think if we pretend to turn to King Yan? "
After hearing this, Li Hao said angrily: "Don't come up with blind ideas, he will believe you even if you say you are in the opposite direction.
When the time comes, he will ask you to get a certificate of surrender and ask you to kill King Yong. What are you going to do? "
Gu Tingye said: "That's true, so what do you think they will do next?"
Li Hao replied: "We have already reached this point. In fact, Rong Xian and King Yan have no way out, so they naturally have to take a risk.
So what we have to do is very simple, just protect the safety of the officials and defeat their rebellion. "
After listening to Li Hao's words, Gu Tingye said angrily: "You put it lightly, there are 5,000 imperial guards in the palace alone, and we only have 500 people.
Not to mention that there may be people from King Yong in the Fourth Army, how could they be defeated. "
Li Hao replied: "It's not about the number of people but the quality. We don't have many people, but there are many people in the western suburbs camp.
As long as there is official will, we can recruit troops from the western suburbs camp to quell the rebellion, and I don't believe they can really fully control the Fourth Army. "
After hearing this, Gu Tingye still retorted: "It's easy for you to say, how can the official's decree come from? If something really happens in the palace, Rong Xian will definitely lead the imperial guards to blockade the imperial city, how can the decree be conveyed.
And even if word gets out, you can guarantee that the people in the western suburbs camp will listen to you. "
Li Hao explained: "I have received the news a long time ago, because the officials are not very extravagant, and there are many palace walls in the imperial city that have been invaded all year round, and there are dog holes that some petite people can climb through.
So as long as you protect the official family as soon as possible, it will not be difficult to get the decree to be spread.
.
As for getting the people in the Western Suburbs Camp to obey, the British Duke is not in Bianjing now, and many people in the Western Suburbs Camp are related to your Gu family. As long as they follow the official orders and are justified, it is not difficult to make them obey orders.
What's more, we don't need to call all the western suburbs camp, as long as we can mobilize some of them, and the others just need to be impartial. "
Hearing this, Gu Tingye couldn't help but said: "You are really thoughtful. You must have spent a lot of time planning this."
Li Hao smiled and replied: "This involves many people's lives and fortunes, so I naturally have to plan carefully.
But you are still in danger, because at the beginning of this matter, they must go directly to the official's house, and you must persist until I lead my troops. "
Gu Tingye thought for a while and said, "This shouldn't be difficult. In order not to make any big noise, I guess they won't prepare siege equipment in advance. They just need to retreat to the palace with the officials. We want to defend the section." The time shouldn't be difficult.
The biggest problem is actually the city gate of Bianjing and the palace gate of the imperial city. How do you enter these two gates. "
Li Hao said: "I'm not worried about the city gate of Bianjing. We are not alone in the city.
The only thing missing is the gate to the imperial city. I want to see if you can do anything about this. "
Gu Tingye immediately replied: "What can I do about this matter? Although I am in the palace, if I contact the Imperial Guards rashly, I am afraid it will arouse Rong Xian's vigilance."
Li Hao thought for a while and said: "You are right. Everything should be done safely. If it doesn't work, we will attack the city gate. Anyway, as long as we get to the position, they will have to deploy troops to defend it, and we can also reduce your number. pressure."
….
Later, Li Hao and Gu Tingye roughly agreed on a second set of contact information using fireworks as a number to facilitate communication between the two parties in an emergency.
After the conversation, when Gu Tingye was about to leave, Li Hao remembered what happened during the second rebellion in the palace.
Then he warned: "By the way, although the Imperial Guards do not have siege equipment, the underground fire team in the palace does have ladders. Remember to destroy those ladders at critical moments so as not to cause trouble for yourself."
Gu Tingye responded and left. After that, Li Hao began to think about what he had done and whether there were any loopholes that needed to be made up.
Without noticing, Mrs. Wei walked in at this moment.
Until Mrs. Wei walked up to Li Hao and suddenly spoke, the sudden sound from his ears scared Li Hao so much that he fell to the ground.
Seeing Li Hao like this, Mrs. Wei asked, "What are you and Gu Tingye talking about so mysteriously, and you want to drive everyone out.
After the conversation, he looked lost again. "
Li Hao just recovered and sat down again and replied: "Isn't Gu Tingye stationed in the palace now? There are some things he needs to discuss with me. Can other people know about the things in the palace?
I was thinking about this just now, but you suddenly came next to me. Can I not be scared? "
After listening to Li Hao's explanation, Mrs. Wei didn't think there was any problem. In her heart, the palace was such a mysterious place.
Especially the good image of the current official Zhao Zhen among the people makes the palace even more sacred.
So he skipped this question and brought up the old matter again, telling Li Hao about Minglan, which made Li Hao's head get big.
Li Hao really didn't want to worry about it at this time, so he just dealt with it reluctantly, hoping that Wei could leave as soon as possible after nagging him.
However, Wei did not just explain Lan, but also talked about Zhang Wen: "Zhang Wen and Pinlan have roughly decided on a date. It is estimated that Pinlan will leave Youyang and come to Beijing to get married in a while.
You said that all your subordinates have arranged their marriages, but as for you, you don’t even have a choice now. "
Hearing this, Li Hao felt really helpless and said, "They are said to be subordinates, but they are all older than me. It can only be said that it is the right time for them to get married."
That's all he said, but Li Hao was thinking, is this a matter of selection? You just want me to choose Minglan.
But suddenly Li Hao had an idea and asked, "Pinlan came directly to Beijing this time. Didn't the Huining Marquis Mansion send someone to pick her up?"
Mrs. Wei replied: "Probably not. Madam Song had already gone there in person when the conscription was called for. It seemed like she had given the Sheng family a lot of face.
This time the Sheng family brought their girl to Bianjing to get married. There was no need for the Huining Marquis Mansion to send anyone to greet them, otherwise it would look like they were in a hurry. "
Li Hao retorted: "Mother, what you said is wrong. It is because of the difference in family status between the two families that the Huining Marquis Mansion should send someone to Youyang.
This shows how much they value this marriage, so that Fang Lan will not be underestimated when she arrives in Bianjing, and secondly, it can better reflect the magnanimity of Huininghou Mansion. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei felt that it made sense, but she still said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. If you want to care about this matter, you might as well think about your own affairs."
Regarding this, Li Hao did not argue anything, but he decided in his heart to talk to Zhang Wen and let him encourage Mrs. Song.
At that time, let Mrs. Song go south, and then see if she can think of a way to attract all the women like the Wei family, form a Bianjing Honorary Tour Group, and send all these people to the south for fun.
In this way, there is a legitimate reason and no one will be suspicious. Secondly, the coming and going lasted for several months. By the time these people came back, the dust had settled in Bianjing City.
Moreover, when there are more people, there is another advantage, that is, you can bring more guards along with you, in case anyone wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
So after coaxing Mr. Wei away with his kind words, Li Hao started thinking about this matter.
It's not difficult to encourage Mrs. Song, but if you want others to go together, you have to give them a reason.
Li Hao really couldn't think of this serious reason, so he decided to try other heretical methods. Anyway, the goal would be achieved.
