Li Hao never expected that Zhao Ceying could come forward so decisively to make peace.
So when the guards reported, Li Hao didn't react at first, but then he thought about it and couldn't help but admire him. It's not easy for a person to maintain such an attitude after being poor for a long time and then rich again.
Since Zhao Ceying had already taken the initiative to hand over the ladder, Li Hao planned to use the ladder to get down.
So Li Hao got up and went to greet him. After Zhao Ceying saw Li Hao, he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry for what happened today. I've already lost two games in Xiao Duan. There is no need to compete in the third game.
It's just that Xiao Duan is young and energetic after all. If he refutes him in person, he is really afraid that he won't be able to bear it.
So for my sake, I am really grateful for what Mr. Li said today.
But this is the truth, and I cannot confuse right and wrong. I am here to apologize and admit defeat for Xiao Duan. "
Then he took out a long spear and said, "There is indeed no magic weapon like Mr. Li's imperial sword in my house.
The only thing I could handle was this spear, so I prepared some extra money to compensate. "
Hearing this, Li Hao first took over the spear, tried it out, and then said: "This gun is already very good. Brother Xiao Duan and I have a fight of spirits, so we can just use this gun as a bonus, and the rest will be fine." Just take the things back."
But after Zhao Ceying heard this, he still said: "No, no, no, it's better, I should help him make some compensation, otherwise I will feel uneasy.
Just keep the other items as my apology. "
Li Hao simply took down a few small items from the things he brought, and then said, "Then these are enough, and you can take back the rest."
Seeing this, Zhao Ceying wanted to persuade him again, but Li Hao was also determined not to take it anymore. After the two argued, Zhao Ceying saw that Li Hao really didn't want to accept it, and was not just being polite, so he ordered someone to take the things back. .
On the way back, Zhao Ceying couldn't help but admire her father, but she didn't expect that he actually made the calculation accurately.
After returning the remaining things to the warehouse, Zhao Ceying was not idle. He left the house overnight and rushed to Xiao Duan's house.
After all, it was not easy to settle Li Hao's side. Don't let Xiao Duan make any mistakes again and waste his hard work.
By the next day, basically everyone in the Tuanlian Mansion knew about Zhao Ceying's actions.
So this gave the father and son a lot of impression points. Not to mention those officials who followed the trend, even Han Qi, who had been watching with a cold eye, had a great change in his view of them after this incident.
Of course, Han Qi has no intention of changing his original intention. Everything still needs to wait for Li Hao's people to give a result.
The days that followed were uneventful. The people who were causing trouble for Li Hao saw that the offender had already given in, so they no longer bothered Li Hao. Instead, they focused on being attentive to Zhao Zongquan.
However, when others did not come, Zhao Ceying started to run to Li Hao whenever he had something to do, either to compete with him in martial arts or to take Li Hao out to visit Yuzhou City.
Later, Xiao Duan and the others were called over. I don't know what Zhao Ceying told them. Anyway, everyone's attitude towards Li Hao was not very enthusiastic, but they were no longer hostile. ….
However, the day agreed upon with Shitou and the others soon came. On that day, Li Hao left the house early, avoiding Zhao Ceying and the others.
When we got to the street, we saw the stone waiting in a corner.
So Li Hao went to the street and sat down in a window-side room of a restaurant, waiting for the stone to come up.
After a while, the stone came in quietly.
When he saw the people arriving, Li Hao asked, "How are you doing with the things I asked you to inquire about?"
Shitou replied: "I have already inquired about everything. I sent the people I brought to the neighboring villages of Yuzhou to go around and inquire about Zhao Zongquan's character.
Not to mention, in the eyes of the common people, Zhao Zongquan was really a good official. He never bullied others in Yuzhou. Instead, he encouraged farming and often worked in the fields.
In addition, I also asked people to inquire about Zhao Zongquan's village. The tenants in the village also said that his family was generous and would take the initiative to reduce or reduce tenant rents and provide grain relief in times of famine. "
After saying that, he took out a compiled document, handed it to Li Hao, and said, "These are the records of inquiries they wrote down every night. If you look at them, they are all good things."
Seeing this document, Li Hao flipped through two pages and praised: "You are doing a good job. Remember to bring a clerk to do this work. You are making more and more progress."
Shitou said: "I didn't find him specially, he was recruited a few days ago and he can write and do math.
I thought he was quite shrewd, so I brought him here. It was he who brought up the matter of recording. "
Li Hao looked at the record and replied: "I just joined. Is this person trustworthy? Just bring him here."
Shitou replied: "Of course that's possible. He also introduced us to us through an old brother inside, saying he was a distant relative."
Li Haoben just asked casually and didn't say anything after that.
After reading it roughly, Li Hao said: "Okay, I will take this first. You will stay in Yuzhou for two days. In two days, I may send someone back to Bianjing. I will need you then." Come back with me."
After Shitou agreed, he left first to avoid being seen going out together.
After waiting for a while after Shitou left, Li Hao left the restaurant and returned to Tuan Lian Mansion.
As soon as he came back, he went straight to Han Qi's courtyard and gave this record to Han Qi for reading.
After reading a few pages, Han Qi suddenly asked: "Can these things be guaranteed to be true? Could they have been led by others?"
Li Hao explained: "The people called from Bianjing this time were randomly selected, and no one knew it in advance.
As for the people who asked, including farmers and ordinary people, most of them were met on the road.
Unless Zhao Zongquan can bribe all the people nearby, this record cannot be falsified. "
After hearing this, Han Qi also thought that this was indeed unlikely to cause problems, so he said: "Okay, you go down first, and help me invite Xianggong Ouyang over by the way."
Li Hao obeyed the order and left, and went directly to Ouyang Xiu's yard.
At this time, I found Ouyang Xiu sitting in the courtyard, reading a book in the sun with his back to the courtyard door, feeling very comfortable.
So Li Hao couldn't help but say: "Uncle, you are living a really leisurely life."…
Hearing the sound, Ouyang Xiu turned around and saw that Li Hao had come in. He said, "Why, you came to my place when you had free time today. You didn't go out to play with Zhao Ceying."
Li Hao also understood the meaning of Ouyang Xiu's words and replied: "Zhao Ceying and I are just good friends. My uncle understands what I mean. I will pay attention to my discretion."
"As long as you understand." After Ouyang Xiu finished what he said, he still couldn't help but warned: "Actually, it's nothing to do with Zhao Ceying, but as Zhao Zongquan said, remember not to get too close."
Then he remembered and asked, "By the way, what's the matter with you coming here now?"
Li Hao replied: "All the information that was inquired about earlier has been sent back. I have handed the records to Mr. Han. Mr. Han asked you to come over."
After Ouyang Xiu heard this, he said, "You are such a fool, you don't talk about important things first."
After saying that, he stood up and left, which only made Li Hao depressed. Just now he said with emotion, wasn't it the topic that Ouyang Xiu brought up later?
Shaking his head, Li Hao returned to his yard helplessly, waiting for Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu's decision.
Early the next morning, Zhao Ceying came to Li Hao and said, "There is a new polo match held in the city. I heard you say that polo is played well last time. Why don't we go and watch it together."
Li Hao thought that he would be fine now, so he agreed and was about to go back and get his playing clothes.
By chance, someone came to report that it was Prime Minister Han Qi who was looking for Li Hao.
Hearing this, Li Hao had no choice but to say: "It seems that I can't go. You can go by yourself."
"Business
It's important, you get busy first. "After Zhao Ceying finished speaking, he left by himself.
Then Li Hao went to see Han Qi, only to hear Han Qi say: "Didn't Zhao Ceying ask you to write a letter asking the government to give a clear edict?
You can do this now. "
When Li Hao heard about this, his first reaction was to ask: "I will go directly to the minister, will the Grand Prime Minister not say anything?"
Han Qi said: "No need, just report it yourself. Tell the truth about everything. In addition, attach this and hand it over to the officials."
Then he returned the document that Li Hao had brought to Li Hao.
After taking it, Li Hao said: "Okay, then I will go back and write the memorial now, and then send someone back to Bianjing today."
After saying that, he left the courtyard, but Li Hao did not go back directly. Instead, he went to Ouyang Xiuna. Regarding Han Qi's decision to go to the hospital alone, Li Hao was still worried about some problems.
If you are afraid that you will be cheated accidentally, you should find someone to ask for clarification before you can rest assured.
But when they arrived at Ouyang Xiu's place, Li Hao asked the question, but Ouyang Xiu didn't explain it. He just said, "You can go to Shangshu if you are asked to do it. Mr. Han doesn't need to harm you."
But Li Hao, who was worried, wanted to ask again, but Ouyang Xiu didn't want to answer, and just asked Li Hao to write a memorial quickly.
So Li Hao could only comfort himself. Since Ouyang Xiu said there was no problem, it should be fine.
Then Li Hao returned to his room. What happened after Yuzhou was of course mainly about gathering information and questioning Zhao Ceying.
After writing the memorial, Li Hao handed it to an accompanying guard, gave him a personal note, and asked him to deliver it to the palace. ….
Of course, Li Hao was not worried and just let him go. Then he left the house to find Shitou and asked him to take people and guards back to Bianjing, so that he could have someone to take care of him on the way.
Once this matter is properly arranged, Li Hao will have nothing to do again.
And the situation also changed unknowingly among the people who came with Li Hao.
Ouyang Xiu often discussed something with Han Qi. Li Hao went to see him several times, but he always said that he was not free, so he didn't want to disturb him.
Among the remaining people, most of them showed their hospitality to Zhao Zongquan, but the few who didn't go had nothing to do with Li Hao.
So next, Li Hao and Zhao Ceying spent more time together, and they also gradually became familiar with Xiao Duan.
As for Bianjing, Li Hao's memorial finally arrived in front of Zhao Zhen.
But in addition to what Li Hao handed over, something else also appeared here at the same time.
It was exactly the same as the book that Li Hao handed over to record the information, except that it was delivered by the Imperial City Division.
In addition, in front of Zhao Zhen's eucalyptus, there are also various things that Li Hao and others did in Yuzhou during this period.
At this time, Zhao Zhen, the Queen and Cao Jingxiu were all present in the Funing Hall. However, Zhao Zhen and the Queen were listening to Cao Jingxiu talking about the news that the Imperial City Division had found out in Yuzhou.
Cao Jingxiu was also unlucky. In the last rebellion of King Yan, Cao Jingxiu was also one of the officials implicated because of Rongxian.
Later, for the sake of Queen Cao, Zhao Zhencai specially ordered him to escape.
But this also made him silent for a long time. This time, it was Cao Jingxiu who was reactivated after Zhao Zhen came up with the idea of letting Zhao Zongquan come to Beijing.
Ask him to send people from the Imperial City Department to Yuzhou to inquire about Zhao Zongquan.
After all, King Yan deceived Zhao Zhen miserably last time, so he naturally made a more cautious choice this time.
And that record was obtained by the Imperial City Division. Of course, it was Cao Jingxiu's own idea to place an informant in the Caobang.
Because as they assisted in rescuing the driver last time, many people in the Cao Gang received rewards.
This made Cao Jingxiu notice the power of this civil society, so he easily inserted people into it. As a result, the people who went there were highly regarded because they could write and do math.
I was selected into this team by accident. At the same time, because it was not a deliberate arrangement and there was no contact in the middle, so
It didn't arouse other people's ideas.
However, things were indeed done well this time, so after listening to Cao Jingxiu's report, Zhao Zhen praised him first and then asked him to step down.
When there were only two people left in the palace, Queen Cao said: "Regarding Li Hao's memorial, what are the officials going to do? Are they going to issue a canonization edict?"
Zhao Zhen said: "At least from the current point of view, Zhao Zongquan is a good candidate. Judging from his past, he is kind and compassionate towards others.
Even if you are not very smart, you can still be kind if you think about it. Even if you are not aggressive enough, you are more than conservative, and that is enough. "
After hearing this, Queen Cao couldn't help but feel a little sad, because she knew why Zhao Zhen was so anxious.
Over the past few months, Queen Cao could clearly see the physical changes of the person next to her, so she understood his intentions better. ….
Feeling sad, Empress Cao quickly changed the topic and said: "But this time it was a bit unexpected. If it weren't for the news from Yuzhou, I really didn't expect that Li Hao had such martial arts. I didn't expect that this Tanhua Lang Or both civil and military.
It's just that at this time, she had a conflict with Zhao Ceying over a trivial matter, which was really a bit juvenile. "
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "He is not very young himself, so a temporary dispute of temper is not harmful.
Looking back now, the relationship between him and Zhao Ceying is not very good.
I didn't expect that Zhao Ceying would take such a step back. It's also a good thing that Zhao Zongquan has such a capable son. "
Hearing this, Queen Cao couldn't help but be speechless. After all, the reason why she chose Zhao Zongquan was because Zhao Zhen had no heirs!
So in the Funing Palace, the two most noble couples in the world slowly fell silent.
But once the matter is settled, it needs to be carried out.
Soon, Zhao Zhen's edict naming Zhao Zongquan as prince was sent from Bianjing to Yuzhou.
Also setting off at the same time was the person who reported the news to Li Hao, but this person, Jian Cong, arrived at Yuzhou one day early and passed the news to Li Hao.
This is also an opportunity for Zhao Zhen to sell a favor to Li Hao. Of course, this favor may not be very big, but considering that fly legs are also meat, they cannot be wasted.
Just after Li Hao got the news, Zhao Ceying and Shen Congxing came to Li Hao's yard and prepared to take Li Hao out.
When Li Hao saw the person, he directly congratulated him and said, "The news just came from Bianjing. The official family has sent an internal official to Yuzhou with a decree. It is estimated that they will be able to arrive tomorrow. A happy event is coming to your family." .”
Hearing this, Zhao Ceying immediately guessed what Li Hao meant, but just wanted to confirm it further, so she suppressed the secret joy in her heart and said, "What does the decree say?"
Li Hao replied: "I don't know how it is written specifically, but what I can confirm is that the officials have made it clear that they will make your father a prince and order him to go to Bianjing so that he can enter the palace to serve the officials at any time. "
Hearing this, although Zhao Ceying was still a little regretful, he was only canonized as a prince instead of a prince.
But now that the official family has no children and only has a prince, it is actually no different from a prince.
Regardless of this point, Zhao Ceying was still extremely happy, and then he said: "My father and son will never forget today's feelings.
But today I have to persuade my father, and I don’t have time to accompany him. When I have free time in the future, I will definitely hold a wine banquet to express my gratitude. "
After hearing this, Li Hao said: "Next time I have time, I'm afraid I will already be in Bianjing City. I will treat you to a bar then."
When Zhao Ceying heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, we have just arrived in Bianjing City and are not familiar with the place. It is you, the host, who should treat us."
After saying that, Zhao Ceying said goodbye to Li Hao and went to see Zhao Zongquan with Shen Congxing.
As for what they persuaded later, Li Hao didn't know.
But it did have a miraculous effect. Zhao Zongquan, who had been recuperating in bed these days, was almost healed that day.
When the internal officials came to announce the decree the next day, they were already able to get up on their own.
Thank you for your gratitude.
The arrival of this edict heralded the end of Li Hao's trip to Yuzhou.
Zhao Zongquan spent two days packing his things, and then his family embarked on the road back to Bianjing together with Li Hao and his gang.
As for Shen Congxing, Xiao Duan and the Geng brothers, because they had official duties and could not move around at will, they stayed in Yuzhou for the time being. They had to wait until Zhao Zongquan had established a firm foothold in Bianjing and could arrange positions for them before they could go there. Beijing.
The return journey took six days, and Li Hao and the others finally returned to Bianjing.
Afterwards, Zhao Zongquan and his family were placed in a house near the East Palace where the supervisor was built according to the etiquette system, making it easier for Zhao Zongquan to travel to and from the palace.
Therefore, although Zhao Zongquan did not have the title of prince, it also let everyone know that as long as nothing unexpected happened, Zhao Zongquan was basically confirmed to be the de facto crown prince and future emperor.
Unlike Zhao Zongquan who was busy, Zhao Ceying was quite free after coming to Beijing, and none of the people he was usually close to came to Bianjing.
So he often came to Li Mansion to talk to Li Hao. It happened that Li Hao was taking a break that day and planned to go to the polo field to see how the game was going.
So he invited Zhao Ceying to go to the polo field together. .
