Zhao Zhen took a sedan to the back gate of Daqing Hall, got off the sedan, and staggered into Daqing Hall with the support of an internal official.

After Zhao Zhen entered, it was certainly not suitable for Li Hao to enter from here. He could only go from the side door to Daqing Gate and enter the palace from there.

However, Li Hao was not in a hurry. Anyway, he had arrived early and was just waiting there.

He had to wait for a summons from the palace before he could enter, so he walked all the way to the outside of the Daqing Palace. When Li Hao arrived, the civil and military officials had just entered the Daqing Palace and were still making arrangements.

So Li Hao waited outside the palace gate, standing guard with the soldiers, waiting for the call from inside the palace.

The wait did not take long, and soon an internal official came out and passed Li Hao inside.

Of course, this is mainly because today's court meeting was not intended to talk about anything serious, it was more of a symbolic meaning.

During the critical period after the palace coup, Zhao Zhen needed to appear in front of all civil and military officials to tell the world that nothing had happened to him, in order to stabilize the people of the world.

Therefore, this court meeting was basically peaceful, and even those censors who always made trouble out of nothing did not get into trouble this time.

The only thing decided in the entire court meeting was the guilt of the king of hell and Rongxian, the culprits of this palace incident.

Prince Yan's family was stripped of all their titles and became common people. Because they were a clan after all, they were ultimately handed over to the chief minister of the clan for trial and punishment. However, it would not be easy for them if they were involved in rebellion.

As for the Rongxian family, it's even worse, but there's nothing they can do about it. Who can tell them not to have the surname Zhao.

In the end, Rongxian was sentenced to death, and Rongxian's father and son were also implicated and executed together.

As for the rest of the family papers, all the female ones were assigned to the Jiaofangsi, and all the male ones were sent to exile in Lingnan, and they were not pardoned.

This also means that the Rong family is completely finished. Even if a new king succeeds to the throne and the world is amnesty, they will not have a share.

However, compared to other dynasties, this kind of consequences is already good. After all, this is the ancient time with the involvement system. The participation in the rebellion did not involve the Nine Clans, and the Rong family should be lucky.

After these two matters were clarified, the investigation and punishment of the remaining people involved in the rebellion were all handed over to the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Kaifeng Prefecture Examination Office, and then co-organized by Yushitai.

The rewards for meritorious officials were also handed over to the Sanya and Zhengshitang for discussion.

After discussing these matters, Zhao Zhen quickly announced his resignation from the court and hurried back to Funing Palace to recuperate.

Maybe Zhao Zhen was really overworked in the past two days, and he really fell ill as soon as he returned to Funing Hall.

He fainted for two days in a row. If the imperial doctor hadn't assured him that it was just excessive fright and lack of energy and blood, and had been accompanying him in the Funing Palace to cook medicine and wait on him, everyone would have been able to feel relieved.

But looking at this, Li Hao was still a little worried. After all, in the play, Zhao Zhen died immediately after the palace coup.

If this is the case now, then it will be really troublesome. I don't know where the canonization edict returned to Zhao Zhen yesterday is.

Now that the crown prince has not yet been established, if Zhao Zhen really died suddenly, it would be a small matter that Li Hao and the others were working in vain, and the entire Song Dynasty would be in turmoil.

The reality was just as Li Hao thought. Later, the palace was strictly controlled by Li Hao, but the news of Zhao Zhen's coma was still revealed through this big sieve. ….

For a while, the whole Bianjing inevitably began to be turbulent again, but with the British public stationed in the western suburbs camp, the situation was able to be controlled.

In terms of civil servants, the two great ministers Han Qi and Fu Bi also began to suppress the courtiers and stabilize the situation, so it was okay in a short time.

For a while, everyone was waiting for news from the palace. Fortunately, Zhao Zhen finally woke up on the third day. Although he was still a little weak and couldn't get out of bed, at least he didn't seem to be in danger of his life.

Then Zhao Zhen began to meet with important civil and military ministers on the bed, and through their mouths, the people of the world could rest assured.

Originally, Zhao Zhen arranged for Li Hao to go to the camp in the western suburbs to assist the British government in handling military affairs, but for this reason, the trip was not possible. After all, looking at Zhao Zhen's situation, Li Hao really did not dare to leave the palace.

But luckily, for some reason this time, Zhao Zhen's body recovered very quickly. Unlike the last serious illness, which took almost two months to get better, Zhao Zhen's body recovered after only half a month. After generally recovering, you can go to court normally.

At this time, Li Hao could leave the palace with peace of mind, without having to worry about anything happening in the palace.

So Li Hao found Zhao Zhen and said that he wanted to go out of the palace to do business, and he happened to go to the western suburbs camp to visit.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen didn't ask any questions and simply asked Li Hao to go out of the palace to do business.

After leaving the palace, Li Hao immediately went to Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, Jingning Marquis' Mansion, and Xuande Marquis' Mansion to worship. Zhao Zhen was quite efficient in doing things, and it didn't matter if the living reward was delayed.

However, the imperial edicts and imperial sacrificial supplies from these families were delivered early. Among them, the most valuable ones were several large coffins made of golden nanmu, which won a lot of hearts.

Because of Zhao Zhen's generous reward, the normally quiet mourning halls of these three families became lively in a different way. To say that Li Hao came this time, it was actually a bit late.

Normally, other people should have come to worship long ago, but what Li Hao saw when he arrived was still a constant flow of people. This made Li Hao sigh that as long as it was profitable, no matter what the occasion, there would always be people willing to go. It's up to you.

After paying homage, Li Hao asked the three families about the date of the funeral, and then left for the western suburbs camp.

The first thing Li Hao did when he arrived at the Western Suburbs Camp was to meet with the British Duke. However, the British Duke didn't seem to have a very good attitude toward Li Hao. He asked directly: "The officials asked you to assist in acting as the Western Suburbs Camp." Regarding the military affairs of the battalion, how can you explain your delay in arriving?"

Hearing what the British Duke said, Li Hao was very puzzled. Normally, he had never offended the British Duke, so how could he talk to him with a gun and a stick?

But he still had to explain: "The official's body was ill a few days ago. The subordinate was stationed in the palace and could not leave without permission. I just asked the official to leave the palace today.

It is true that I came to the western suburbs camp a little late, so please forgive me, Your Excellency. "

After the British public hearing, they replied: "You are trying to use the officialdom to suppress me!"

Li Hao hurriedly said: "I don't dare. I am really late for coming here. Please punish me."

After hearing this, the British public officer said: "Forget it, you are a person valued by the officials, and now you have made a contribution to saving the driver. How can I dare to punish you? You can get out."

After hearing this, Li Hao was really worried about the lawsuit, and then resigned.

Fortunately, although the British Duke's attitude towards him was not very good, people like Song Chaozhong and Bi Zhongyou were still very friendly to Li Hao, the hero of the rescue. ….

When Li Hao came out, he found that both of them were outside.

When he saw Li Hao, Song Chaozhong pulled him out and walked away. After he was far away, Song Chaozhong said: "Don't blame the British father for his bad attitude towards you. Maybe he is in a bad mood these days, not only It’s for you, and it’s the same for everyone else.”

After hearing this, Li Hao asked, "What's the reason? Do you know?"

Song Chaozhong said: "We don't know either. Anyway, since the British Lord came to the camp in the western suburbs, he has never had a good look. Normally we wouldn't dare to hang out in front of him.

I heard you were here today, so I came here to find you. "

After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "Okay, by the way, what do you want from me?"

Song Chaozhong said: "It's nothing. I just heard that you were coming, and I just asked you to have a drink with us in the evening."

Bi Zhongyou, who was next to him, also said: "Yes, we haven't met each other since the day of the palace change. Since we met today, we have to talk together."

After hearing this, Li Hao explained: "I guess it's not possible to drink. I have to go back to the palace later. This time, the officials asked me to come to the western suburbs camp to inspect, so I came out."

There is still a shortage of people in the palace now. If it doesn't last a few days, I will come to treat you to a drink. What do you think? "

After hearing this, the two of them wondered whether they would force anything, so they accompanied Li Hao around the camp in the western suburbs.

But halfway through, Li Hao felt that the two people had something to say, but he didn't open his mouth, so he said directly: "Do you have anything to ask? You might as well say

Let me hear it. "

After hearing this, Song Chaozhong said: "There is really one thing, and that is about the reward. Did you hear any news in the palace?"

After hearing this, Li Hao said: "No, the lists of awards for Sanya and Zhengshitang have not yet been submitted to the palace.

As for other news, I am not as well-informed as you in the palace. What can I know? But you ask, is something wrong? "

Song Chaozhong and Bi Zhongyou looked at each other and said, "Didn't both the Peng Japanese Army and the Tianwu Army participate in the palace rebellion? Yesterday, Zhang Zhong, the commander of the Peng Japanese Army, was imprisoned for questioning.

Although Sun Ji, the commander of the Tianwu Army, did not find any evidence of collusion with King Yan, he was guilty of lax service after all. It is estimated that he will submit a letter to the official position in two days. "

Hearing this, Li Hao was still confused and asked, "Then what does this have to do with you? They are on the same level as you."

Song Chaozhong explained: "It is true that the two of them are on the same level as us, but both the Peng Japanese Army and the Tianwu Army belong to the Dianqian Division. We heard the news, and this time the chief officer of the Dianqian Division may not be in a good position."

Now Li Hao finally understood that these two people were concerned about the position of the front secretary, but he couldn't help much in this matter.

Of course, I couldn't speak too clearly, so I said, "I understand what you two mean, but I am a fifth-grade official, and I can't say anything about the position arrangement of the front office.

However, if officials ask about it, I will certainly be willing to put in a few good words for you two, but I don’t know how much weight this will carry. "

After listening to Li Hao's words, Song Chaozhong said: "Your words are enough. Regardless of whether this matter can be accomplished or not, we will remember this kindness."…

After finishing speaking, Li Hao and the two men walked around the western suburbs camp and found no problems, so he said goodbye to the two men and returned to Bianjing.

After returning to Bianjing, Li Hao did not go back to the palace immediately, but went back to his mansion first.

It must be said here that Li Hao's foresight was still useful. From the subsequent interrogation, some situations of that day were restored.

On the day of the palace coup, King Yan actually sent troops to the Li Mansion to capture Li Jian, Sister Rong, and Brother Chang, but they arrived too late.

When Shitou saw the fireworks in the palace, he took a few people away from the tunnel as he was told, and asked the servants in the palace to go out to hide first and come back later.

Therefore, King Yan's people rushed to nothing. For this reason, they also searched Li Hao's house before leaving. The current appearance can still be repaired by someone.

However, when Li Hao arrived in front of the house, he could still see some signs of damage, which showed that it was indeed severely damaged that day.

After entering the mansion, Li Hao asked his servants where Li Jian was.

After confirming, Li Hao rushed over.

As a result, before Li Hao could step forward to speak, Li Jian saw Li Hao and asked directly: "How is it? On the day of the palace coup, I heard that you guys fought fiercely. Were you injured?"

As he spoke, he didn't forget to get up and come forward to take a closer look.

Seeing Li Jian's posture that he was about to take action, Li Hao hurriedly said: "I'm fine. It wasn't enough for me to go into battle in person that day, and there was no injury at all."

After speaking, he turned around in a circle and asked Li Jian to look at it before and after, which made Li Jian feel relieved.

But now he was relieved, but he complained: "It's fine that you're fine, but why haven't you come back even once in so many days? You just let people report that you're safe. Do you know how worried I am!"

Li Hao also understands how worried parents are about their children.

Then he said: "This is indeed my fault, but you also know that there have been great changes in the palace, and the officials have assigned me to be responsible for the defense of the palace. How can I have time to leave the palace.

Today I went to the western suburbs camp for business, so I had some free time. I came back as soon as I finished my work. I have to go back to the palace later. "

Hearing this, Li Jian said: "Are you in such a hurry? You can't even rest at home all night."

Li Hao replied: "There is no way. No one can escape in the palace for the time being, but it will be fine after a while. I will be able to come back then."

Li Jian also said helplessly: "Okay, then take care of yourself."

"I know." After Li Hao answered, he asked again: "Also, when I came back today, I wanted to ask if there was any news from my mother?"

Li Jian replied: "Yes, a letter arrived from your mother a few days ago, saying that they had already set off back to Bianjing.

They should be on their way back to Beijing now, and they should have heard about what happened in Bianjing now, so they will probably come back faster. "

After finishing speaking, Li Jian said with emotion: "But this time they went out just right. If they hadn't left Bianjing early and escaped the disaster, who knows how things would have turned out?

Speaking of which, Mrs. Ning Yuanhou and the others were also unlucky. Your mother and the others were also invited, but they didn't go. Otherwise, this disaster might not have happened. ”….

After listening to Li Jian's words, Li Hao could only say: "It must be considered lucky. I have already paid homage to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, Jingning Marquis Mansion, and Xuande Marquis Mansion in the morning, and they will hold funerals separately.

During the funeral, our family needs to hold a roadside memorial ceremony, and I may not be able to come back then.

If my mother has not returned to Beijing, I need you, my father, to take care of things. "

After hearing this, Li Jian agreed: "Okay, I know about this. I will ask someone tomorrow to see how to arrange it. You and Gu Tingye are already familiar with each other, and they do need to be set up."

Then Li Hao chatted with him for a while, and finally saw that it was getting late, so he got up and returned to the palace.

In the following days, as Zhao Zhen's body gradually recovered, Li Hao did not need to stay in the palace as long.

So I could leave the palace from time to time. Of course, after leaving the palace, I had to go to the western suburbs camp as usual.

But every time the British public saw Li Hao, he didn't look good. As time went by, Li Hao responded every time, and then went out to hang out with Song Dynasty and others.

Of course, during this period, the two of them often asked Li Hao about the job arrangements of the front secretary.

Li Hao naturally patted his chest and said that he had spoken kindly to the two of them to reassure them.

Of course, Li Hao actually had no intention of getting involved. They couldn't find Zhao Zhen for confirmation anyway, so it wasn't up to him to decide.

And Li Hao also felt that there was still hope for these two people. If they succeeded, they would have to thank themselves.

If it doesn't succeed, then it's the problem of the two of them. Anyway, I just want to say good things to them, but I can't decide the outcome, so I won't suffer any loss.

Soon after, the day came for the funerals of the three families. Li Hao was able to leave the palace, so he and Li Jian came to hold a roadside ceremony in person to see off the three families.

After finishing this work, the imperial court's reward finally came down, and Li Hao was relieved of his position as the commander of internal inspections and the official affairs of the Imperial City Company.

The official rank has also been promoted from the fifth rank to the fourth rank, Zhongdafu, Mingwei General, Qingche Captain. As for the specific positions, he is the Deputy Capital of the Privy Council, Chengzhi, and the Palace Chief, Yuhou. He finally has a formal civil official position. .

Li Hao's immediate boss, the official position of Commander of the Front Division, was lucky enough to fall to Song Chaozhong. As for Bi Zhongyou, he took over the position of Deputy Commander of the Front Division, which is equivalent to Li Hao teaming up with these two people. He took charge of the front office of the palace.

Li Hao was quite satisfied with this matter. After all, the two of them thought that Li Hao had contributed a lot to this matter, so they were very kind to Li Hao.

As for Li Hao's subordinates, Gu Tingye was promoted by two ranks and successfully stepped into the ranks of the fifth rank. He took over Li Hao's internal inspection commander and the official position of the Imperial City Company, and began to command the imperial army that was officially changed from the Imperial Camp Army to the Forbidden City. The guards began to guard the palace.

Of course, Xiao Qin had just died, so Gu Tingye wanted Ding You as usual, but as a military general, he only needed Ding You for a hundred days.

Therefore, Li Hao was still in charge of the palace guards for the time being, because perhaps because of Rong Xian's lesson, Zhao Zhen did not dare to let one person take charge of the palace guards. Then the front secretary of the palace also intervened.

From now on, the imperial city guards will be guarded by the Imperial City Division and the Palace Front Division, and Li Hao, the Marquis of Du Yu, will be temporarily responsible for this.

In addition, in addition to some of the Imperial Guards, there are also many

Everyone was transferred to serve in the Fourth Army.

Among them, Yang Wenyuan, Yuan Wenshao, Xu Ning, Zhang Wen, Cao Zhen, Ye Sheng, and Jin Chaoxing were all transferred to serve in the Peng Japanese Army and Tianwu Army. They were under the command of the Dianqian Division, and they could be regarded as continuing their duties under Li Hao.

Of course, the same goes for Ye Sheng and Jin Chaoxing. They need to wait for Ding You to expire before they can officially take office.

However, compared with the rewards, there are also many people who have been demoted from their official positions and titles due to their involvement in the palace coup of Yanwang, such as Rongchang Bo, Kang Anbo, Xiongwu Marquis, Dongchuan Marquis and others.

But the most eye-catching news was not these, but the fact that Zhao Zhen ordered Yuzhou Tuanlian to send Zhao Zongquan to Beijing.

At this time, Zhao Zhen suddenly issued this decree, the meaning of which is naturally self-evident. Obviously after this chaos, Zhao Zhen did not want to delay the matter of establishing the crown prince any longer.

After Zhao Zongquan comes to Beijing, as long as nothing goes wrong, he will basically be the best candidate for the future crown prince.

But as expected, something unexpected happened. What came back with the imperial edict was not Zhao Zongquan himself, but a letter saying he was ill and declining. .
