However, Empress Cao did not continue the question, but praised: "I have always heard that you have a quick mind, and today it seems that you are not in vain.
But why are there only half of the poems and the other half? "
Li Hao explained: "I just came up with this idea just now. I only came up with this half of the poem. I can't think of the other half now. It's better to wait for me to complete it in the future and then offer it to the officials and the empress." .”
Hearing this, Queen Cao couldn't help but smile and said: "That's not necessary, you just need to give it to the girl you like."
After Queen Cao finished speaking, Zhao Zhen said nothing more and asked Li Hao to retreat.
After Li Hao left, Empress Cao asked: "Your Majesty, are you still prepared to do what you said back then? Judging from his performance today, I'm worried that he may not understand your Majesty's good intentions."
"Of course, you are not joking." After Zhao Zhen said this, he was silent for a while and then said: "I heard that the girl from the British family is good at polo!"
Queen Cao replied: "It is true. Among all the official records in Bianjing, the daughter of the British Duke is considered to be a good polo player."
Zhao Zhen said: "Since this year's Shangyuan Festival, Bianjing City has not been lively for a long time due to various things.
Now it seems that Li Hao should be allowed to re-organize his competition, but this is just men's entertainment.
Why not bother the queen to hold a polo party as well, and invite more officials from Bianjing city to make it lively and lively. "
After all, Empress Cao had been married to Zhao Zhen for decades. After hearing these words, she understood what Zhao Zhen meant and replied: "I will definitely make it right now.
Moreover, there are only two months left before the Shangyuan Festival. Last year's Shangyuan Festival could not be held due to business issues. This year, it might as well be more lively, the officials think. "
Zhao Zhen agreed: "Okay, let's do it according to the queen's wishes."
Li Hao naturally didn't know about the discussion in the palace at this time.
At this time, Li Hao was still thinking about the conversation in the palace just now, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt.
Li Hao is not stupid. Of course he can understand what Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao meant just now. He probably will not recite the first words and express his attitude in advance.
Then Zhao Zhen directly decreed the marriage, and Li Hao thought it was possible.
But this was what made Li Hao strange. If Zhao Zongquan granted a marriage to Uncle Shen after he succeeded to the throne, it was because he wanted to use marriage to win over the British Duke to stabilize the situation.
But the one who is in power now is Zhao Zhen. Emperor Renzong has been in power for almost forty years, and his reputation for benevolence is widely known both inside and outside the country.
Although it had just experienced a palace coup, its prestige was still there. Both the court and the people were very stable, and there was no invasion by foreign enemies.
Under such circumstances, why did Zhao Zhen suddenly think of granting a marriage to himself, and who would be the other party to whom he granted the marriage? This really made Li Hao a little curious.
But Li Hao didn't think too much about it. Anyway, as long as Zhao Zhen didn't make it clear, Li Hao would pretend he didn't know about it.
On the other hand, if it was made clear, there would be nothing he could do about it. Even Li Hao, a small person, could not bear the charge of resisting the imperial decree and being disrespectful.
But after this incident, Li Hao really wanted to find a wife for himself. Just like Gu Tingye in the play, as long as he got married, the emperor had to be unreasonable and let him stop his wife and marry again. ….
But thinking of this, Li Hao himself felt depressed again, because he had not seen a few girls in all the years since Li Hao traveled through time, and it was better to know more about them from the drama.
Thinking of the names and surnames in the play, apart from the married ones, there are still two girls in the Sheng family, Minglan and Rulan. Among them, Minglan is a collateral blood relative within three generations, which is inappropriate.
Ru Lan is even worse. Otherwise, if he marries a girl from the Sheng family, but not Minglan, the Wei family will probably tear him apart. Moreover, the main reason is that Li Hao doesn't like Ru Lan that much, so there is no need to poke this hornet's nest.
The remaining ones are Shen Congxing's younger sisters, the British only daughter Zhang Guifen and Yu Yanran.
Among the three, Zhang Guifen is indeed the best.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not possible. Firstly, Li Hao has heard about the Zhang family and Zheng family, so it would be unreasonable for him to interfere; secondly, Ying
Although Li Hao didn't understand the Duke's attitude towards him, he didn't dare to log in to the British Duke's mansion for fear of being beaten out.
With such a row, do I have to choose between the remaining two? I feel a little helpless after thinking about it.
Now Li Hao felt that it would be good to let Zhao Zhen arrange it. Anyway, if he wanted to save him, Zhao Zhen would not arrange a yaksha for himself.
After thinking about it this way, I felt much more comfortable, and then I went to work.
The next day, Li Hao received an order from Zhao Zhen to start the competition again and finish it before the Lantern Festival.
After roughly calculating the time, he found that he was still quite nervous, so Li Hao quickly went to the polo ground to have a look.
I found that no one had cared about the original layout for two months, and now some of it was deserted.
Moreover, now that all the Imperial Guards have become guards and are on duty in the palace, Li Hao cannot pull the guards out of the palace to work.
So he had to go to the front office of the palace to mobilize help. Fortunately, Song Chaozhong and Bi Zhongyou valued Li Hao now, so as long as Li Hao said basically everything.
So Li Hao simply pulled out all his old subordinates who were serving as errands in the Dianqian Division and asked them to lead the team to the polo ground to clean up and decorate.
Then Yang Wenyuan will continue to be responsible for this matter. By the way, he has to notify those who originally signed up to participate and let them quickly confirm whether to participate.
After all, for unavoidable reasons, many people were removed from the personnel list. The main reason was that they were involved in King Yan.
Therefore, it has become an extremely urgent matter to verify how many people can still participate.
And now that the weather has entered winter, God knows when it will snow. In order to complete the game before the Lantern Festival, all preparations must be accelerated.
But Zhao Zhen seemed to want to make things more difficult for Li Hao, so it was announced that Queen Cao would personally hold a polo match.
Officials from all over Bianjing City, big and small, were invited to this polo match, and its scale far exceeded that of ordinary noble families.
Because Li Hao had experience in holding the last competition, Empress Cao called Li Hao and ordered Li Hao to help handle the matter.
Of course, because this is not a formal competition, many girls will come back to participate, so the queen also sent extra people to coordinate the process. ….
However, Li Hao only thought that the palace officials were coming, but the fact was beyond Li Hao's expectation. There were indeed officials, but there was also a girl beside him, the only daughter of the British princess Zhang Guifen.
Although Li Hao had never seen her in person, he had seen her in TV dramas, so Li Hao recognized her as soon as she got off the carriage, but for a while he didn't quite understand Empress Cao's intention of sending her here.
But Li Hao quickly thought of the last conversation, and then he thought that it was Zhang Guifen who Zhao Zhen wanted to marry him, so the marriage gift was actually not bad.
However, reality quickly broke Li Hao's imagination, because Zhang Guifen's attitude towards Li Hao was obviously not good.
After being introduced by the internal officials, Zhang Guifen's first sentence was: "Master Li, the Queen has sent me here to ask for advice on how to prepare for the polo club. I wonder if Master Li has any instructions so that I can do it."
Li Hao really didn't have much idea about the official polo club. After all, the polo club hosting the official was not like a formal game, where one, two or three had to be scored.
It's nothing more than Empress Cao making a splash and letting all the officials participate in the fun. It's not so much a competition, but the main test is the ability to welcome people and send them off.
In this regard, Zhang Guifen, who grew up in a British government palace, is probably much better than herself. What can she teach her?
So Li Hao said modestly: "I don't dare to take instructions or anything like that.
I have never held an official polo match, and I guess no girls are familiar with it. How about we discuss it together. "
Hearing this, Zhang Guifen snorted coldly and said: "I only heard that Mr. Li is eight Dou tall, but I didn't expect that there are still things he doesn't know.
Since Mr. Li doesn't know how to do it, there's no need to bother, I'll do it myself
Just find someone to take care of it. "
Li Hao was really confused when he heard these words. He felt that he had not only offended the British father-in-law, but also his family.
Now Li Hao was too lazy to deal with it, and simply said: "Preparations are being made in the polo ground for the game now. Why don't we go in and have a look together to see what needs to be adjusted if we are to receive everyone.
When the time comes, girls can line up first and I will arrange for someone to do it.
In addition, the date must be determined first so that I can arrange the game to stagger the date you choose. "
Zhang Guifen snorted coldly after hearing this, and Li Hao just thought she agreed.
So he led her in, and happened to meet Yang Wenyuan there, thinking that the Duke of Ling and the Duke of England were also on good terms.
Yang Wenyuan and Zhang Guifen also knew each other before, so Li Hao simply gave Zhang Guifen to Yang Wenyuan to take with him, so as not to be an eyesore to himself.
And from this comparison, Li Hao found that Zhang Guifen really had a bad attitude towards him and was polite to others, which made Li Hao even more confused.
But this also made Li Hao want to avoid her even more, so in the next few days, whenever Zhang Guifen came, Li Hao would hand her over to Yang Wenyuan to take with her.
But this made the accompanying official unable to stand it, and said, "Master Li, the Queen has asked you to come and discuss the polo match with Miss Zhang. You always let others do it for you, which is not good."
Li Hao explained: "As long as the errands are done, don't worry about this little problem."…
The internal officials were helpless after hearing this, and when they returned to the palace, they told Empress Cao and Zhao Zhen the news, which made Empress Cao laugh and say: "It seems that Li Hao may not understand your Majesty's intentions. It seems that even The British public doesn’t like it very much either, so I wonder what His Majesty is going to do next.”
Zhao Zhen sighed and said: "It seems that they don't really appreciate my kindness now, but it doesn't matter. You have to admit it or not.
But there is no need to force this moment, let's send him another errand first. "
Queen Cao asked: "Your Majesty is planning to ask Li Hao to follow you to Yuzhou!"
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen smiled and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence. Then he ordered people to prepare a move and ordered Li Hao to lead a team of escorts to Yuzhou.
The purpose is to persuade Zhao Zongquan to come to Beijing. Of course, in order to achieve the goal, Li Hao will not be the only one who goes.
This time, the group was led by Grand Prime Minister Han Qi, who was also the official judge of An Guo Gong. Ouyang Xiu, the third minister, and others went together to invite Zhao Zongquan to the capital.
Of course, Ouyang Xiu, the third envoy, was recently transferred to the post. For this reason, Li Hao even went to Ouyang Mansion to congratulate him. Of course, this is also a routine operation. Basically, the previous governors of Kaifeng have not been in office for long. The only difference is that some have been promoted and some have been promoted. Just a demotion.
Before setting off again, Li Hao told Yang Wenyuan everything, because his return date was undecided, and after all, no one knew when Zhao Zongquan would be able to leave.
Therefore, the polo match does not have to wait for Li Hao to return before starting, everything goes according to the original plan.
On the day of departure, Li Hao rode a horse and took the elite selected from the front office of the palace to escort the group to Yuzhou.
During the break, Li Hao approached Ouyang Xiu and asked about Zhao Zongquan's personality. After all, Li Hao's knowledge of him was limited to the plot shown in the TV series.
But now that the palace incident has been disrupted by Li Hao, it's hard to say what Zhao Zongquan will do in the future after being separated from the plot.
It is necessary to know his specific personality in advance, and it is more accurate to ask someone like Ouyang Xiu: "Uncle, what kind of person do you think this Zhao Tuanlian is?"
Ouyang Xiu replied: "In fact, I don't have much contact with Zhao Zongquan. I only know that he is a descendant of Taizong and has always been feared by the court.
Perhaps because of this, their behavior has always been low-key. There should be few courtiers in Bianjing who are familiar with them. Of course, it's hard to say now. "
Seeing that Ouyang Xiu didn't understand, Li Hao simply asked other questions: "Why are officials so interested in such a cautious and cautious character?
Even though he repeatedly declined, he still insisted on letting his uncle and Grand Master come to invite him. "
Ouyang Xiu explained: "If you ask about this matter, the root cause probably still lies with King Yan and the others.
Think about it, after the incident of King Yan, Zhao Zongquan, who was in sharp contrast to him, could not be welcomed by the officials!
As for his repeated refusal, I don't think it is a loss of points. The official family now wants a kind person to maintain peace in the world.
A person without too much ambition is probably the most suitable person in the eyes of today's officials. "
After hearing this, Li Hao suddenly understood and said: "In that case, it seems that Zhao Zongquan is confirmed, so it seems like a good thing for us to invite him. I just don't know if Zhao Zongquan can go back with us." ”….
Ouyang Xiu didn't object, he just said: "It's just a good thing. Just sit tight and be escorted this time. It's not your job to persuade Zhao Zongquan. As long as you go there peacefully, it will be good for you. Don't cause trouble." "
Li Hao naturally agreed to this. Anyway, it would be better not to contribute by himself. Isn't it nice to get the credit for nothing?
In the next few days, Li Hao fulfilled his duty as a guard. He rode on his horse every day and led people to patrol outside.
However, Yuzhou is indeed not far from Bianjing. It is no wonder that when rescuers are mentioned in the play, Zhao Zhenhui immediately thought of informing Zhao Zongquan that Li Hao and his party entered Yuzhou in only five days.
After asking for directions, everyone rushed directly to Zhao Zongquan's Tuan Lian Envoy House.
When everyone arrived, Zhao Zongquan and the others had already been notified. Except for Zhao Zongquan who did not come out due to illness, Zhao Ceying led the others to greet them outside the house.
Especially after seeing Han Qi dismounting, Zhao Ceying stepped forward and explained: "My father should have gone out to greet you in person, but he was recently infected with cold and was bedridden.
Why don't I take you to the guest room to rest first, and wait until tomorrow, after my father has recovered, to receive you in person. "
But Han Qi was not able to get through with just such a word. He probably wanted to see if Zhao Zongquan was equipping the equipment, so he immediately said: "Since the regiment training envoy is sick in bed, I should visit Yuzhou first. right.
Please take us to visit and where is the imperial doctor sent by the government a few days ago.
Even though he couldn't cure a small cold, he actually made Tuan Lianshi seriously ill in bed. How can you trust this kind of medical skills? I must take him back to Bianjing and let the officials punish him severely. "
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ceying immediately defended: "This cannot be blamed on the imperial doctor. My father has an old disease that is difficult to cure.
The imperial physician also tried his best, and after the imperial physician's treatment, my father's health has shown signs of improvement. "
After hearing this, Han Qi changed his mind and said, "So it turns out that I was too arbitrary. Since things have improved, we should go take a look. You can lead the way."
Here, Zhao Ceying was rushed to this point and could not refuse, so she had to lead the way and led everyone to Zhao Zongquan's room.
But before entering the room, Han Qi said: "Although the team leader is getting better, he is still ill after all, and we can't afford to be disturbed by so many people.
Well, Lord An Guo, the three ministers, and the middle doctor, you three will follow me in. "
Then Han Qi went in first, followed closely by Cong Gu and Ouyang Xiu, and behind him was Li Hao, who was full of questions.
Li Hao was surprised that among the officials, there were many with higher official positions than himself, so why did his name happen to be mentioned? However, this matter was not a bad thing anyway, so he didn't think much about it.
After entering the house, the first thing Li Hao looked at was the furnishings in the house. After a rough look, Li Hao found that the furnishings in this room were not as good as his own home.
At least it seems that Zhao Zongquan is doing a good job in being diligent and frugal, even if he is pretending to be so, he still pretends to be very similar.
Of course, it wasn't just Li Hao who discovered this, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu who came in were also quite satisfied with it.
Then I arrived in the bedroom and saw Zhao Zongquan lying on the bed. His face was sallow, and he really didn't look like he was pretending to be sick.
Sitting beside him was the imperial doctor sent from Bianjing, but in front of everyone
, Han Qi didn't ask any more questions, nor did he directly explain the purpose of his visit. He just comforted Zhao Zongquan and asked him to rest in peace and recover first.
Then he took everyone out, and of course he didn't forget to ask the imperial doctor to respond in the evening.
Under Zhao Ceying's arrangement, everyone moved into the guest rooms.
But in the evening, everyone gathered in Han Qi's room to discuss things, and of course the imperial doctor was among them. .
