Gu Tingye thought for a moment, and then said: "Let's send him a message, explain the situation to him, and see if he can come back as soon as possible.
However, this news cannot be sent through express delivery stores to avoid leakage.
It just so happened that Li Hao brought people from the Caobang this time. I'll find someone to pass the news to him. "
Now that he had made up his mind, Yang Wenyuan said nothing more.
It's just that Li Hao is far away in Chengdu after all. Even if he rushes back immediately after getting the news, the distant water can't save the nearby fire, so he still has to respond to the situation himself.
Among the two, Gu Tingye is better off outside the palace, but Yang Wenyuan is afraid that he will be at the forefront.
In order to prevent Yang Wenyuan from being inconvenient to come forward, the two first discussed how to communicate the news.
The other two people imitated the original fireworks signals of Li Hao and Gu Tingye and drafted this fireworks signal.
In order to ensure that if there is an emergency situation, Yang Wenyuan can quickly spread the news so that Gu Tingye can respond in time.
And because Li Hao has recently improved gunpowder, there are many more types of fireworks that can be used this time.
Let the messages that can be delivered now be richer, instead of only delivering a few fixed meanings like before. Once there is an unexpected situation, it will be difficult to handle.
After the two of them confirmed all this, they left one after another in order not to attract attention.
But Yang Wenyuan could not settle down. When he first returned to the house, he heard that someone had posted a message and invited him to have a drink.
Yang Wenyuan had just received the post, and then Ling Guogong came over and said, "This Jinghai Marquis came to you, you should know why?"
Yang Wenyuan heard this and replied: "My son knows, I think he should have sent the message to others."
Duke Ling then asked, "Then what are you going to do next?"
Yang Wenyuan replied: "Father, don't worry, my son will never risk the lives of his family."
After hearing Yang Wenyuan's answer, Ling Guogong didn't say anything more and chose to believe his son.
Yang Wenyuan then looked at the post in his hand and planned to go to the banquet to find out what Zhao Zongquan was doing.
However, in addition to the actions on Zhao Zongquan and Han Qi's side, there was also movement on Queen Cao's side.
Of course, Empress Cao didn't really have much strength in the outer court, and this was not like in the drama when she was the Queen Mother.
Now that Zhao Zhen is not dead, she is still just a queen, and there is no way to directly summon the ministers.
Therefore, Queen Cao could only rely on Cao Jingxiu to run around outside the court and find ways to increase her strength.
However, Cao Jingxiu was a relative and had little contact with court officials.
In terms of generals, Cao Jingxiu can still rely on the reputation of his father to move around. Although he may not be able to get them on his side, at least he can keep them neutral.
But in terms of civil servants, Cao Jingxiu really had nothing to do.
So Empress Cao thought of one person, Qi Heng, the current prince of Zhao Zonghan.
Although the Duke of Qi's palace is not very powerful, Qi Heng can't stand it because he has a good father-in-law.
Although Shen Tugang, who was the minister of Cao Cao in Shangshu, was not considered a minister of the prime minister, he was quite prestigious in the court.
Coupled with the fact that the Cao family has had hairpins for generations, the relationship network between the DPRK and China is intricate. If he can be pulled into the car, things may be much easier to handle.
Of course, Queen Cao's original intention was to pull Li Hao into the car, so that the British Duke and Ouyang Xiu would come to her side.
But I didn't expect that things would change so quickly. In just two months, the British father-in-law and Li Hao left Beijing one after another.
But it is strange to say that in recent years, there have been some small groups of bandits.
However, there were not many bandits of this scale reported by Shu officials, and it coincided with the alarm in the northwest.
This coincidence makes people have to doubt it, but the news from the British government also confirmed that there was indeed something strange in the Xixia border army.
Empress Cao still trusted the British Duke and did not think that he would help Zhao Zongquan deceive the court.
As for the Shu area, the Imperial City Department also sent people to investigate, and it was confirmed that there was a White Lotus bandit, and it didn't seem to be fake.
So Empress Cao could only accept the reality. Since Li Hao had no hope, Qi Heng could also be a backup.
However, although Qi Heng is a bit naive, he is not that stupid. You can tell him directly, just because he is not so easy to obey.
And for Princess Pingning, Queen Cao knew the person well and knew that she was a good person.
If things go smoothly, ask her to help push it, she will definitely be willing to help.
But wanting her to take risks and fight for you is a pipe dream.
So Queen Cao planned to take a roundabout route, and now she had a ready excuse.
Zhao Zhen is now seriously ill. As sons, the two princes must always stay at Zhao Zhen's bedside to serve him.
Of course, Zhao Zonghan is still young, so he probably doesn't have many ideas in his heart.
But it's not clear whether Zhao Zongquan wanted to make Zhao Zhen better or just drive Hexi directly.
But when I think about it, everyone is still doing a good job in superficial work.
So Queen Cao proposed that a prince should go to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for Zhao Zhen and bless his speedy recovery.
Zhao Zongquan had no intention of grabbing that position. After all, these days, it was best to be courteous in person.
So it was only natural that Zhao Zonghan should go to the Daxiangguo Temple, but Zhao Zonghan was still young after all.
Moreover, this time you need to fast for three days at Daxiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, and you must be accompanied by someone.
In addition to the waiting eunuchs and guards, as the little prince's storyteller, he could just watch Zhao Zonghan outside the palace.
This reason is so reasonable that no one can object to it.
So after some preparations, Qi Heng and Zhao Zonghan went to Daxianggong Temple together.
Originally, this matter was nothing to worry about, but when they were at Daxiangguo Temple, there were some rumors in Bianjing City.
Just in time, Yang Wenyuan, who came out as promised, listened. Of course, Marquis Jinghai on the side also listened attentively.
Later, while drinking, Yang Wenyuan said directly without waiting for Marquis Jinghai to speak: "It seems that Duke Qi has some ideas. I wonder what you think about this."
After hearing this, Marquis Jinghai laughed and said, "My nephew also believes this kind of rumor spread in the market.
The person who can make the decision in the Duke of Qi's palace is Princess Pingning. When has she ever done something like this? "
Yang Wenyuan said: "Maybe Princess Pingning got some news in the palace, so she placed a bet in advance.
Just like the original King Yong, this is not impossible. "
Having said this, Marquis Jinghai looked rather unhappy, but he still said: "Nephew, I'm joking, King Yong and King Yan didn't end well at the time.
From Princess Pingning's perspective, she wouldn't make the same mistake. "
Yang Wenyuan smiled and refused to answer, but Marquis Jinghai was somewhat unable to sit still.
I originally came here to help Zhao Zongquan win over Yang Wenyuan, but I suddenly heard about this.
Although he really didn't think that the Duke of Qi would really move closer to Zhao Zonghan, the rumors were not necessarily unfounded. Now the rumors were spreading in the market, which made Marquis Jinghai feel a little unsure.
After all, the Duke's Palace of Qi is useless, but after all, it is connected with the palace and the nobles.
If his family really expresses its stance, although it may not have any direct impact, I am afraid that some people who could have been won over will become wavering again.
Knowing that it was no longer appropriate to speak at this time, Marquis Jinghai said nothing more and simply drank and chatted with Yang Wenyuan.
After he had had enough wine and food, Marquis Jinghai went straight to Zhao Zongquan's place to discuss how to deal with this matter.
And at this time, the well-informed people in Bianjing City also knew about this, including Princess Pingning and Duke Qi.
Originally, Duke Guo of Qi was talking to people outside at that time, but in the middle of the trip, everyone heard the gossip.
Suddenly, the eyes of others looking at Duke Qi were different, and some people said directly: "Master Guo, have you got some news? Why are you hiding it from us?"
The Duke of Qi explained: "This kind of news is all fabricated by others. I, the Duke of Qi, am loyal to the government.
Naturally, this important matter of establishing a heirloom should be decided by the officials, and my family has no say in it. "
This explanation is obviously not enough to be believed, but Qi Guogong can't care so much for the time being. Now he just wants to go home and discuss it with his wife.
So he said goodbye to everyone, hurriedly got into the carriage, and hurried home.
When Duke Qi arrived, Princess Pingning was sitting in the main hall with a gloomy face, her head lowered and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Seeing Qi Guogong coming back at this time, I guessed that he must have heard it. Sure enough, Qi Guogong's words later confirmed Princess Pingning's guess.
At this time, Qi Guogong said: "How about sending a message to Yuan Ruo and asking him to come back quickly and express his attitude."
Princess Pingning said: "This is a blessing for the official family. How could Yuan Ruo leave during these three days? This is disrespectful.
My queen mother's timing was really good. It seems that King Yong's method was really tried and true. "
As for the initiator behind this incident, Qi Guogong had already made some guesses in his mind, so he wasn't too surprised now.
Moreover, Empress Cao also used conspiracy. A small push disrupted the plans of Duke Qi and Princess Pingning.
Originally, the two of them planned to wait for the results to come out, like most princes' families.
But now the two of them were forced to take sides, either acquiescing and supporting Zhao Zonghan; or directly sending someone to explain clearly, but that would definitely offend Empress Cao.
From an intellectual point of view, the two of them naturally felt that Zhao Zongquan was more hopeful; but from an emotional point of view, they naturally hoped that Queen Cao's wishes would come true.
And now the Qi family's biggest reliance in the court is Empress Cao and Zhao Zhen. Now that this incident has come out, Zhao Zongquan's impression is no longer good.
But if they really want to decide to join Empress Cao, Princess Pingning and Duke Qi really can't make up their minds.
Then the two wanted to find someone of their own to discuss, so they set off for Shen Mansion, but in the end they were rejected.
Of course, it was not all without gain for the two of them. I guess the examiner also guessed that these two people would come, so he left a letter specially.
After reading the letter, Princess Pingning went to the palace, nominally to greet Zhao Zhen, but in fact she had a secret conversation with Empress Cao.
The specific content was unknown to others, but after that, the Duke of Qi seemed to have acquiesced and did not come to refute.
This scene was quite irritating to Zhao Zongquan. When he was talking to Marquis Jinghai, Zhao Zongquan really didn't take the Duke of Qi seriously.
But he never expected that the Duke of Qi would actually lean towards Zhao Zonghan, which would be a slap in the face for him.
But no matter how angry he was, Zhao Zongquan had to endure it and maintain calm on the stage.
As for Chengdu Mansion, Li Hao, who had just had a falling out with Zhao Pang, was not willing to stay in Chengdu Mansion any longer.
So I thought about finding Sheng Hong, who was currently staying at Yun'an Prison on Kuizhou Road with the Kang family.
By the way, you can also check the specific production process of well salt nearby to see if there is anything that can be improved.
However, the distance from Chengdu Mansion to Kuizhou Road was long and difficult to get back and forth, so Li Hao planned to take the troops there.
But Chengdu Mansion was relatively too important, and Li Hao couldn't just let it go, so after Li Hao thought about it again and again.
Based on the current situation, it was found that the White Lotus Sect did not actually have trained soldiers and horses. Even if it encouraged the people to launch a rebellion, its combat effectiveness would not be very high.
As for whether there would be any problems with the local Forbidden Army and Xiang Army, Li Hao was not worried. After all, they were camped in one place and there was no need for so many people to keep an eye on them nearby.
So Li Hao planned to divide his troops and distribute the combat power evenly, leaving half of the troops and horses still stationed outside Chengdu Mansion to ensure the safety of Chengdu Mansion, and the other half of the troops and horses followed Li Hao.
Hao went to Kuizhou Road together.
Of course, Li Hao did not leave at will, but asked Zhao Bian for instructions. Naturally, Zhao Bian did not want Li Hao to leave, so he tried to persuade him in every possible way.
But Li Hao had already made up his mind. He came to inquire today just to look good for everyone.
Although Zhao Peng was refuted by Li Hao,
On the day when Li Hao moved camp, Zhao Hao came in person to see Li Hao off, trying to prove that he had no disagreement with Li Hao.
But in reality, this behavior had no effect. After all, such a crude performance could not pass the eyes of experts.
However, Li Hao didn't want to worry about all this for the time being. After marching for a few days, a group of people entered the territory of Kuizhou Road.
Since Yun'an Prison was not close to Kuizhou City, it was not appropriate to go to Yun'an Prison with so many troops, so Li Hao could only find a place to camp outside Kuizhou City.
By the way, he was treated to a few drinks by a group of officials from Kuizhou, and then he led a group of personal guards to Yun'an Prison.
[In view of the general environment,
When Li Hao arrived, a group of people who had received the news in advance were waiting outside to greet him, including the Kang family's father and son and Sheng Hong.
After Li Hao approached and dismounted, he first expressed his condolences to Sheng Hong and the people who came with him for inspection.
Then I talked to the Kang family father and son. Not to mention that after this training, they looked a bit different.
However, Li Hao did not study it in detail, but walked around the salt well under their leadership.
Not to mention, the salt production situation here is similar to the Zigong salt production that Li Hao saw in modern times. It seems that there is no difference in the salt production technology of well salt.
After a visit, it was past Shenshi time and it was getting dark, so Kang Haifeng invited Li Hao to have a banquet at his house.
Originally, Li Hao really didn't want to go, mainly because he didn't want to see the annoying Kang Wang family.
However, after Li Hao declined for a while, Sheng Hong also came to help Kang Haifeng persuade him.
Based on the reason why he cheated Sheng Hong in the first place, Li Hao reluctantly agreed.
So the last group of people went to Kang Haifeng's home here, but when they got here, Li Hao found that the situation seemed to be a little different.
Originally, Li Hao thought that after this incident, Kang Wang could learn a lesson and change somewhat.
Especially since Kang Haifeng invited him so actively, Li Hao thought that Kang Wang had changed his mind.
But it seemed that Li Hao was overthinking it. When Li Hao arrived, Mrs. Kang Wang not only had no intention of coming out to greet him.
Instead, I saw Li Hao, the one with an ugly face, as if he had eaten a mouse alive.
