The news that the Wei family and others were leaving the capital was mixed with the news that Shitou was constantly introduced into Bianjing City, and it did not seem so conspicuous.
Except for a few family members who knew about it, outsiders basically didn't know about it.
Of course, this matter is not a secret after all, and naturally it cannot be hidden from some people who are interested, including the people of King Yan and King Yong.
Of course, to King Yong, Li Hao was just a fifth-grade official who had not been successfully dealt with. He didn't really take Li Hao seriously in his heart, so he naturally didn't care.
But for King Yan's party who were planning a mutiny, this sudden change inevitably made people feel guilty, especially since they had just planned to have King Yong deal with Li Hao, so they were naturally more sensitive.
So they once again gathered at Prince Yan's residence. After everyone arrived, Prince Yan talked about his worries: "This time so many people from the imperial camp are going south, could it be Li Hao or... What did others see?"
After hearing this, Rongxian replied: "I don't think so. It's probably a coincidence. Only women from various mansions went south this time, and not everyone left.
The marriage papers of the Ningyuan family, the Zhongqin family, the Xuande family, and the Puding family have not been taken away. If Li Hao knows about it, it is possible that the others will not notify him. Gu Tingye will always inform him.
And if Li Hao really knows about our plan, he can just sue us directly to the officials. Why do he have to do so many things in one fell swoop? "
After listening to Rong Xian's words, Rong Changbo also added: "Commander Rong is right, and I also got some information.
The person who came forward to invite people this time was Mrs. Song from Huininghou's family. I heard that she was asking for Zhang Wen, and asked Mrs. Song to go to the south of the Yangtze River to pick up Zhang Wen's daughter-in-law.
She was the daughter of that merchant family. Mrs. Song originally disagreed. For this reason, she asked the Marquis of Huining to punish Zhang Wen severely. I heard that she is still not clean yet.
In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I reluctantly agreed, and then I found Madam Wei from the Li family.
As for the others, most of them joined in because they heard that Mrs. Song was going to the south to watch the fun, so this matter has nothing to do with us, please rest assured, Your Majesty. "
After hearing what Rong Changbo said, King Yan and others relaxed their minds after knowing the cause and effect.
Then King Yan said: "Since they have nothing to do with us, then don't worry about them.
The most urgent task is to deal with King Yong. Now there is a commotion in the south of the Yangtze River, saying that good luck is coming.
This happened just in time for the critical period of establishing the crown prince. I am afraid that our emperor's determination to appoint Prince Yong as the crown prince will be even greater and faster.
We don't need to hurry up, otherwise once the canonization ceremony is completed, it will be even more difficult to raise troops at that time. "
At this time, Zhang Zhong also said: "Yes, I sent people to inquire along the way. Not only Bianjing, but also all the way from here to Yangzhou, there are such rumors.
But I roughly asked about the date. Judging from the time it took for it to spread in Bianjing City, it was impossible for this news to come from Yangzhou.
So this matter must not have been spread normally, but someone did it deliberately. Who could this person be? "
….
At this time, Xiong Wuhou said: "Who else can this be? It must be King Yong. Apart from this matter being beneficial to him, there is no one else."
Here Rongchangbo said: "But I have never heard of this from King Yong, and since the incident in Wuyou Cave, he probably doesn't have that many people on his hands.
Unless he kept it secret from me from beginning to end, there are still some people in other places. "
When King Yan heard this, he said: "This is not impossible, but no matter who spreads this matter, we have to hurry up now.
Let's talk about how Li Hao should deal with it first. That guy King Yong was really useless. In the end, Li Hao's hair was not even hurt. "
After hearing this, Uncle Rongchang replied: "Now that censure is not feasible, let's find a way to recommend Li Hao for promotion.
But we can’t just recommend Li Hao alone, that would be too obvious. This time we recommend a group of people, and just bring Li Hao along with them.
Although the last official Qianyuan Festival was not successful, many officials who participated had no credit but hard work. In addition, Li Hao led the imperial camp and the imperial guards to win the military performance.
Since he is capable of civil and military affairs, and even officials say he has the ability to train troops, then we will find a way to protect him and let him go to the local area to serve as the pacifier, and then we will not care if he takes away the imperial army. , or re-select a general to serve, there will be room for maneuver no matter what. "
Rongxian said: "That's okay, but King Yong Ke just wanted to denounce Li Hao, but failed.
Now we have people guarantee Li Hao's promotion, I'm afraid King Yong won't let us succeed easily. "
After hearing this, everyone thought for a while, and then King Yan said to Bo Rongchang: "I'm afraid this matter will bother you again. Go and comfort King Yong, so that he doesn't ruin our affairs."
In response, Rongchang Bo agreed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely go and get this done."
In this way, under the plan of King Yan and others, Li Hao was about to face a promotion crisis just after he was demoted.
However, King Yan asked people to come here today, and it was not just for Li Hao's sake. Next, King Yan asked how many people from the Japanese Army, Tianwu Army, Imperial Guards and Inspection Department could be guaranteed to be heard. use.
Start discussing with everyone the specific process details of the mutiny, perfect all plans, and wait until the discussions are over.
Rongchang Bo went to Prince Yong's Mansion to dissuade Prince Yong from recommending Li Hao.
However, King Yong had a hot temper and could not bear this tone. No matter what Uncle Rongchang said, he would not agree.
In the end, there was no other way. Uncle Rongchang had no choice but to persuade and grind every day, making up reasons for King Yong bit by bit, and finally finally persuaded King Yong.
So King Yan quickly asked his people to petition everyone for merit, and Li Hao's existence was highlighted among them.
But King Yan obviously didn't expect how quickly King Yong changed his face. He had promised Rongchang Bo in the first place. When he heard about it later in the court, he couldn't help it and asked his people to join Li Hao to death. .
So the situation in the court was very strange. Most people had no objection to the rewards.
Only when it came to Li Hao's head, people on both sides argued fiercely, so the people in the field became three factions, one supported, one opposed, and one was neutral.
….
King Yan was also worried about making the matter bigger and attracting attention to himself, so he had to temporarily stop all activities and call Rongchang Bo over, and give him a good talk.
After that, Rongchang Bo went to persuade King Yong again, and finally persuaded him to come back. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, he quickly mentioned the reward in the court.
This time, no one from King Yong could stop him, and things went smoothly. Just when King Yan thought the matter was settled, Ouyang Xiu stood up and said that Li Hao had received the rewards he deserved for his previous achievements, and he could just reward the other officials this time.
Naturally, King Yan couldn't agree. After all, he was busy with so many things just for Li Hao.
Now that Ouyang Xiu has shaved off Li Hao, isn't he busy?
So there was a very strange scene in the court. People who didn't want to be acquainted with Li Hao were desperately asking for credit for Li Hao, while people who had a close relationship with Li Hao kept holding Li Hao back.
In the end, when the dynasty dispersed, the matter was not settled.
However, after Ouyang Xiu returned home, he specifically called Li Hao to his home to ask: "I helped you refuse the reward at court today. You should know it, but do you blame me?"
After hearing this, Li Hao smiled and replied: "How could it be? My uncle is doing this for my own good, and my nephew understands."
Ouyang Xiu said: "It's good that you can understand the reason, but do you have an idea as to who wants to push you up?"
Of course Li Hao can now guess who did this. Although King Yong is stupid, in terms of power, not many people can take advantage of him.
It seems that King Yan really cares about the imperial army in his hands.
If you are afraid, then you will definitely not be able to let them get what they want.
Of course, Li Hao could guess it just because he knew a lot about off-site factors. If Ouyang Xiu had known better, he would have thought of it long ago.
However, for his own purposes, Li Hao must not tell Ouyang Xiu about the matter at this time.
So he replied: "Doesn't your uncle know about my situation? Since I entered the court as an official, I have not offended anyone except King Yong, and I don't have such good information.
I only found out about the group of people who made false accusations when my uncle told me that they were from King Yong.
However, King Yong just falsely accused me, so it is impossible for him to change so quickly, so he recommends me. "
Ouyang Xiu also agreed with this point and said: "It's not like King Yong did this, but if it's not because of hatred, it's naturally for profit. What do you have in you that is worthy of others' efforts to get it?"
Then after thinking for a while, he answered by himself: "Military power, what you are worth worrying about is the imperial army, but who wants these soldiers and horses? What do they want to do?"
Hearing this, Li Hao was really worried that Ouyang Xiu was thinking about it and figured out the truth. He quickly interrupted: "Not necessarily, maybe they are attracted to me. Princess Yong can do it for Qi Heng." He committed the crime of kidnapping Rong Feiyan.
After all, I am a prostitute, and if I am not much better than his failed scholar, no one can take a fancy to me, so they want to recommend me. "
Suddenly hearing these shameless words, Ouyang Xiu was interrupted and said with a smile, "Can you compare to that face?"
….
Li Hao immediately pretended to be shocked and said: "I'm not ugly at all, and talent is the foundation of a career. What's the point of just relying on a face?"
Ouyang Xiu was also amused at this time, and did not mention what happened just now, but said, "But this incident reminded me that you should really look at her now."
Hearing this, Li Hao wondered why the topic of Ouyang Xiu had changed so quickly, and asked, "Why did my uncle talk about this? I was really led astray by my aunt."
Ouyang Xiu explained: "Although I declined this reward for you today because I felt something was wrong, what they said last time may not be wrong.
You are now in the fifth rank. If you want to be promoted again, in addition to merit, qualifications are also very important.
If you were older, it wouldn't matter if you were promoted in a normal manner, but you are still too young after all. If you really want to be entrusted with important responsibilities, your age is a hurdle.
If you get married, it might be better after you start a family, otherwise it will eventually be a problem.
Moreover, the official's health is uncertain how long he will have left. Once the emperor and his ministers are together, if King Yong is to ascend the throne in the future, he will not have a good impression of you. Try not to give them excuses. "
After hearing this, Li Hao thought to himself that King Yong would not be so lucky to ascend the throne. But he still said: "Uncle, don't worry, I understand, let me think about it carefully."
Ouyang Xiu didn't say anything after that, but ordered: "Think more about your own affairs.
In addition, you should report to the officials, explain why you cannot receive the reward, give the officials a reason, and then let the officials finalize the rewards for others, so that the matter can be settled. "
Li Hao agreed, and then seeing that Ouyang Xiu had nothing to explain, he stood up and left.
The next day, the document submitted by Li Hao arrived in front of Zhao Zhen. After reading it, Zhao Zhen summoned Li Hao into the palace for questioning.
Zhao Zhen asked: "Nowadays, many people in the court are helping you to request a reward. Why did you write a letter to refuse it yourself?"
Li Hao replied: "It has been less than three years since I became an official in the imperial examination, and I have already been promoted to the fifth rank. Although I have made some contributions during this period, the officials have also given generous rewards. How can I dare to take credit for this now?" Receive the reward."
Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with Li Hao's attitude and said, "If you think so, then it's naturally good. In this case, I will order others to arrange the rewards."
After hearing this, Li Hao quickly thanked Zhao Zhen for Chengquan, and then
Later, Li Hao thought everything would be fine.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen's next words really shocked Li Hao.
I heard Zhao Zhen say: "Besides, don't worry about the matter between you and King Yong. I will make it clear to him and won't let him deal with you again in the future."
After hearing this, Li Hao's heart was really beating wildly, and his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what Zhao Zhen meant by this.
However, Zhao Zhen did not let Li Hao guess, but said: "You don't have to deny that the Rong family girl was kidnapped by Princess Yong, and the people in Wuyou Cave are also from King Yong.
If Ouyang Xiu knows something, why do you think I don't know it? "
Li Hao was confused at this time and blurted out: "Since the officials know it, why did they choose King Yong to inherit the throne?"
….
At this time, Zhao Zhen said helplessly: "If you don't choose King Yong, who else can you choose?
Should we choose King Yan? In terms of cruelty, King Yan will probably be even more cruel than King Yong, and the entire clan will be in turmoil by then. "
Li Hao originally didn't intend to ask further, but when he said this, he couldn't hold it back for a moment and asked again: "Then why don't you select good people from the outside clan and train them carefully?"
Zhao Zhen explained: "A few years ago, I might have done this, but now, I'm afraid I don't have the time."
Seeing that Zhao Zhen had reached this point, Li Hao could only comfort him and said, "No official, please don't say such depressing words. You are a benevolent Lord. You will be blessed by God and you will definitely live a long life."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen also had a smile on his face and said: "I accept your auspicious words. In this case, I will remind you again that you are in an important position now and have a great stake.
It will be fine if I am here, but if a new king succeeds to the throne one day, you must not cling to this position and get out in time. The Ouyang Qing family will remind you when you think about it. "
Hearing what Zhao Zhen said to him, Li Hao couldn't help but be grateful, but he also had doubts about it, so after thanking him, he said: "I have something unclear. I would like to ask the official?"
Zhao Zhen said: "If you don't understand something, tell me."
Li Hao said: "I would like to ask the officials why they love me so much. During the imperial examination, the officials selected me as the most beautiful person. Then I stayed in Bianjing to serve, and I was specially arranged by the officials to work under Mr. Ouyang.
The minister's misbehavior almost got him into trouble, but the officials let him off lightly and gave him a chance to make meritorious deeds.
All these things make me a little curious. I don't know why the officials love me so much. "
