In fact, Han Qi still had doubts about Zhao Zhen's decision to leave all the memorials without publishing them.
Until Chen Shengzhi's memorial was also retained, which made Han Qi even more suspicious and didn't understand what Zhao Zhen was thinking.
It was precisely because of this that Han Qi wanted to encourage Ouyang Xiu to try it first, to take a dip in the muddy water, so that he could see the truth behind the scenes.
Anyway, he was the first to mention this matter to Zhao Zongquan. As long as the matter is done, the credit will naturally be recorded on him.
Unless Ouyang Xiu directly talks to Zhao Zongquan and reaches a consensus, letting Zhao Zongquan know that this matter has nothing to do with him.
But even so, he still had something to say. After all, he was the driving force, and as far as he knew, Ouyang Xiu had no contact with Zhao Zongquan since Yuzhou.
Of course, this is what Han Qi wants to see. Others turn to Zhao Zongquan, but Han Qi doesn't care.
But if Ouyang Xiu, the current Privy Councilor, also defected to Zhao Zongquan, it would undoubtedly greatly reduce his weight in Zhao Zongquan, which would have a great impact on the future distribution of power.
This was good now. The only thing that Han Qi didn't consider was that Ouyang Xiu didn't agree with this matter and was unwilling to write a letter to admonish him.
Except for Ouyang Xiu, there are no other important ministers who can take action now, and Han Qi does not want to break the harmonious relationship he maintains with Zhao Zongquan and give the impression of lying, so he can only choose to take action personally.
Of course, the reason why Han Qi was willing to submit this memorial was because he felt that Zhao Zhen had directly rejected several candidates for Kaifeng Prefecture submitted by the Political Affairs Hall without asking the reason, in order to let Zhao Zongquan take over.
So after returning to the palace, Han Qi began to draft a memorial to appoint Zhao Zongquan as the governor of Kaifeng, and delivered it to the palace.
And Zhao Zhen was waiting for this memorial, but this waiting was met with sadness and disappointment.
Zhao Zhen originally had a good relationship with Ouyang Xiu because of Master Qin, and thought that Master Qin had said that he wanted to help Ouyang Xiu gain the power of being a dragon under Zhao Zongquan, but he did not expect that Han Qi would hand over the trick that Ouyang Xiu did not get.
Then Zhao Zhen remembered that during the Zhihe period, Han Qi urged him to establish a heir several times.
Recalling a series of things Han Qi has done since Zhao Zongquan came to Beijing.
You must know that this matter cannot withstand scrutiny. As long as you think about it with your heart, you can always find the reasons you want for various things.
So the more Zhao Zhen thought about it, the more wrong he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhao Zongquan and Han Qi had been connected for a long time.
Now Zhao Zhen couldn't stand it anymore. Before he could do anything, Zhao Zongquan hooked up with Zaifu to see what they wanted to do.
Zhao Zhen could allow middle- and lower-level officials to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty in advance, but he absolutely could not tolerate his prime minister and ministers turning to others.
Especially since this was a person who was promoted by himself and entrusted with important responsibilities, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Zhao Zhen.
As for Zhao Zongquan, Zhao Zhen now has some ideas. He originally thought that Zhao Zongquan would be an honest and responsible person, so he chose him to succeed him.
But after discovering that he had done so many things behind his back, Zhao Zhen began to waver in his choice of successor.
Originally, when Master Qin proposed it, Zhao Zhen indeed intended to give the position of Kaifeng Yin to Zhao Zongquan to further enhance Zhao Zongquan's prestige.
But now Zhao Zhen has completely given up on this idea, and is even glad that he established the prince position instead of directly making him the prince.
If it had been a few years earlier, Zhao Zhen would have driven them both out of the capital.
But now Zhao Zhen is ready to endure it for once, but the Kaifeng Yin matter must be given up.
However, Zhao Zhen did not issue an order immediately, but planned to go fishing to see if there were any who bit the bait, and also to confuse Han Qi.
Otherwise, as soon as he finished the edict, he immediately issued a decree and went down. Wouldn't that mean that he had a problem with Han Qi?
At the same time, Zhao Zhen thought of Fu Bi's good deeds, so he wrote a sincere private letter and ordered it to be sent to Luoyang as soon as possible, hoping that he would be able to recover soon.
Return to Beijing.
But in fact, Zhao Zhen did not wait too long, because no big fish took the bait, they were all small fish and shrimps, and Zhao Zhen was not interested in taking care of it, so after waiting for five days.
Zhao Zhen drafted an edict and appointed someone else as the power magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion. When selecting personnel, Zhao Zhen deliberately selected the first candidate reported by the Political Affairs Hall.
So when this decree arrived at Zhengshi Hall, it almost made Han Qi doubt his life.
Han Qi couldn't understand. If Zhao Zhen didn't want Zhao Zongquan to be the Kaifeng Yin, then why he didn't agree with it when the candidate was drafted.
As a result, we have now agreed and selected the first candidate we originally proposed. Isn’t this just a joke?
For a moment, Han Qi wanted to go to Chui Gong Hall with this intention and ask Zhao Zhen what he thought.
But Han Qi soon calmed down, but he was a little confused when he saw the decree. You said that if he agreed to the decree, it would be difficult to talk to Zhao Zongquan.
But if he didn't plan the purpose, what reasonable reason could he have?
This person was originally reported by the Political Affairs Hall, but now that he has less than a month to go, he can't slap himself in the face and say that there is something wrong with this person.
As for rejecting the decree in person and recommending Zhao Zongquan, that would be too obvious. This is different from the time when he was forced to establish the crown prince and just go like this, which is too taboo.
After much deliberation, Han Qi finally decided to follow the original instructions. Anyway, as long as he is still in this position, there are always other ways to maintain a relationship with Zhao Zongquan.
Therefore, the news of Zeng Gongliang's appointment as the powerful magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion was immediately announced to the public.
This moment shocked everyone, whether it was Zhao Zongquan and his son or the officials who were close to them.
It was Ouyang Xiu who was the instigator of this matter. No one expected that this position would be given to Zeng Gongliang inexplicably.
Of course, this also included Li Hao, but because Li Hao was still on vacation, he got the news relatively late.
At that time, Li Haozheng was persevering and looking for a common topic with Zhang Guifen. Although it was said that marriage should come first and then love, he still had to make up for the love.
However, due to Li Hao's insufficient accumulation in two lifetimes, he really didn't know how to chat with girls.
So I recalled the online tutorials I had seen in modern times, which taught me how to find topics to chat with girls.
Then Li Hao started talking about dreams and wishes, dressing up, and eating tastes, which made Zhang Guifen wonder if the person she married was stupid!
However, Zhang Guifen was very pleased with the stupidity of this husband. At least it could be seen that he had indeed never had an affair with another woman, which was better than those playboys who had been trained to speak sweet words.
So when the topic of hobbies finally came up, Zhang Guifen deliberately echoed: "If you want to talk about hobbies, then polo should count.
In Bianjing City, there really aren't many women who can compare to me. "
Originally, when they talked about this, they deliberately gave Li Hao a step, because Zhang Guifen also knew that Li Hao was good at polo, so that the two of them could talk about it together and make an appointment to play polo together.
But who would have thought that Li Hao had no experience? Thinking back to the fact that in the drama, Shen Congxing and Zhang Guifen defeated Ming Lan and Gu Tingye, but it was a courtesy game.
Minglan's polo skills may not be worse than Zhang Guifen's.
So he directly retorted: "My wife, what you said is a bit exaggerated. Let's not talk about other people for now. My cousin's polo skills are not bad. You two can compare when you have time."
After hearing this, Zhang Guifen really didn't know whether the man in front of her was a fool.
He said angrily: "Your cousin is the sixth girl from the Sheng family who played polo with you and won the gold hairpin, right?"
Hearing this, Li Hao noticed something was wrong, no matter how insensitive these aspects were.
He quickly said: "Yes, that's her. Now she is engaged to Gu Tingye."
Then he deliberately changed the subject, preparing to turn the target first on the Wei family, so he said: "My mother also specially prepared a dowry for her. My mother has told you about this."
Live it. "
Zhang Guifen replied: "My mother-in-law has already told me about this matter, and also told me about Minglan's mother, our aunt.
Of course a favor should be repaid, and I naturally have no objection to this matter.
But my mother-in-law also mentioned that she had intended for you to marry Minglan, was that true? "
Hearing this, Li Hao was really helpless. His mother was telling others about everything. Isn't this cheating her son?
I had no choice but to reply: "Then my mother should have told you that I disagree with this matter from beginning to end. It is purely my mother's own idea."
But Zhang Guifen said directly: "Well, I really haven't heard my mother-in-law say anything about this."
Seeing Zhang Guifen's categorical statement, Li Hao became a little unconfident and couldn't help but wonder if Wei really didn't say anything.
Just when Li Hao didn't know what to say, Fu Deng rushed into the yard and said there was news.
But he didn't say it immediately, but looked at Zhang Guifen who was standing aside.
Li Hao naturally understood Fu Deng's thoughts, but there was nothing he did that required special avoidance, so he said, "Hurry up and tell me, I have something that my wife cannot listen to."
Hearing this, Zhang Guifen's heart warmed up and she was very impressed by Li Hao's words.
And Fu Deng said: "I know that the official position in Kaifeng Mansion has been decided, and Zeng Gongliang, a scholar of Hanlin Academy, will take over.
Mr. Ouyang just sent a message, asking the young master to do his own thing in peace and ignore other irrelevant things. "
Hearing this, Li Hao was confused. What plan did Ouyang Xiu prepare?
Wasn't the original intention to promote Zhao Zongquan to the position of Kaifeng Yin, so as to close the relationship.
Although I don’t know why in the end, this matter became a fuss and so many officials were implicated, but the direction was still correct.
Why did it suddenly change to Zeng Gongliang now? The situation changed so quickly that Li Hao was a little at a loss.
Li Haodang even wanted to go to Ouyang Xiu to find out what was wrong.
But as soon as he stood up, Zhang Guifen grabbed him and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Of course, Li Hao would not tell the real reason, so he explained: "This matter is weird. The news that Prince Zhao Zongquan was asked to take over as Kaifeng Yin spread all over the world, and the officials did not stop it.
Now that someone else suddenly changed the situation, something is wrong. I want to go to Mr. Ouyang and ask for the reason. "
Zhang Guifen said: "Didn't you hear the news from Mr. Ouyang just now? He asked you to concentrate on your own affairs and ignore other miscellaneous things. Isn't this made very clear?
If Mr. Ouyang really wants to talk to you in detail, he will naturally tell you to go to his house to talk. "
After finishing speaking, Zhang Guifen turned around and asked Fu Deng: "How did Grand Prime Minister Ouyang's words come to you? Did you go to his house, or did someone tell you on the way?"
When Fu Deng heard this, he also understood what Zhang Guifen wanted to ask, so he replied: "It was the news that was passed on by Mr. Ouyang's personal servant on the road.
He is an old man beside Mr. Ouyang and has been with Mr. Ouyang all these years. "
Zhang Guifen nodded and let Fu Deng go down first, and then said: "Since Grand Prime Minister Ouyang did not communicate directly from the mansion, but asked someone to inform him on the road, it must be inconvenient to say it directly at the mansion.
If you go at this time, aren't you causing trouble to Mr. Ouyang?
And don’t ask Grand Prime Minister Ouyang, isn’t there a Master Qin in our house, even though he has been absent from the court for a long time.
But he will see things more clearly than you do, so you might as well go there and ask. "
And while Zhang Guifen was talking eloquently, Li Hao felt that she seemed to be radiating light all over.
He couldn't help being stunned. It wasn't until Zhang Guifen finished speaking that Li Hao came back to his senses.
But looking at Zhang Guifen who was looking at her, she couldn't help but kiss her.
At this time, the two of them were really stunned together, and it was like time had stopped.
Until Qiuyun is holding the newly made fruits
, when walking in.
The two people who heard the noise hurriedly separated, and then Li Hao said in a hurry: "I was a fan of the authorities just now. Madam, please give me some advice. I will go to Master Qin to ask."
After saying that, he puffed out his cigarette and ran away, leaving Zhang Guifen with a red face behind.
Qiu Yun, who did not see the previous scene but only saw this scene, asked Zhang Guifen out of curiosity: "What's wrong with my uncle? He's running so fast, as if there's something chasing him behind him."
But before Zhang Guifen could answer, Qiu Yun approached and found that Zhang Guifen's face was red, so she quickly put down what she was holding.
She reached out and touched Zhang Guifen's forehead and found that it was very hot. She didn't bother to ask Li Hao about it and said quickly: "Girl, what's wrong with you? Your forehead is so hot. Are you sick? Do you want me to treat you?" Here comes the doctor."
Hearing this, Zhang Guifen coughed a few times, calmed down, and then said, "No, I'm fine. I'm just being exposed to the sun. I'll just go back and sit for a while."
Then Qiuyun raised her head and looked at the sky. It was full of dark clouds, and she couldn't see the sun.
Zhang Guifen obviously realized this at this time. In order to cover up the embarrassment, she had to pretend to be calm and get up and leave.
Qiu Yun was naturally worried, so she followed Zhang Guifen until she saw that there was nothing wrong with her going back to the house.
As for Li Hao on the other side, his mind came to his senses after leaving.
But I couldn't help but think about the feeling I had just arrived, and I still couldn't help but feel that it felt really good.
When he was approaching Master Qin's yard, Li Hao calmed down before going in.
At this time, Mrs. Qin was reading the newspaper from the imperial residence brought back by Li Hao. When she noticed that Li Hao was coming, she joked: "Why do you have time to come to me instead of spending time with your lovely wife?"
Hearing this, Li Hao couldn't help but think of the scene just now, and his mind started to wander again.
Realizing that this was wrong, Li Hao quickly said: "Teacher, isn't it normal for me to come to you?
And I came to you today to ask you something else. "
After hearing this, Master Qin said, "What's the matter, tell me."
Li Hao then told the story from beginning to end, and then said what Ouyang Xiu had just said.
After hearing all this, Master Qin was also very surprised. He had already persuaded Zhao Zhen that day, so why did he suddenly change his mind?
But put this aside, think carefully about the reasons, and then combine it with Ouyang Xiu's words.
Master Qin thought for a while and realized what the problem might be. After all, there were not many things that could make Ouyang Xiu take the initiative to avoid suspicion.
After thinking about it, Master Qin said: "It seems that the officials are dissatisfied with this prince, and there may be changes in the court."
Li Hao was really surprised when he heard this. He never expected that he would get such an answer from Master Qin.
But looking back on these days, I have never heard of such rumors, so I said: "It shouldn't be possible. Zhao Zongquan was personally appointed by the officials, and since Zhao Zongquan came to Beijing, I haven't heard of him making any big noise. , why are the officials dissatisfied with him?
Is it possible that this achievement was because some officials recommended him to be promoted to Crown Prince and Kaifeng Yin this time? "
But he said it unintentionally but sounded intentional. When these words fell into Master Qin's ears, he immediately seemed to have thought of something.
He slapped his hands and said, "I figured out why."
