Based on the stories that Li Hao received in later generations, he appropriately incorporated some of Qiong Yao's bad blood elements into it.
Anyway, it sounds much more shocking than Ouyang Xiu's story, and Li Hao also appropriately added a series format to ensure that there will be new content every day.
If Li Hao hadn't just wanted to confuse Ouyang Xiu this time, otherwise he would have to give him a mental breakdown if he really wanted to target a single person.
Of course, Li Hao's arrangement was indeed very effective. Even though the firepower was dispersed, Han Qi, as the main force under attack this time, was still greatly affected.
It's just that there are advantages and disadvantages. This incident helped Ouyang Xiu gain a lot of hatred to a certain extent.
After all, the people outside can simply watch the excitement, but the ministers in the court have to think too much.
Ouyang Xiu had just been involved in an affair with his daughter-in-law, and then so much similar news immediately appeared in Bianjing City.
Since everyone didn't know Li Hao's existence, they naturally thought that this was Ouyang Xiu taking the opportunity to excuse himself.
That is to say, this time, Li Hao's chosen target was very clear. They all leaned towards Zhao Zongquan, the person who was wearing the same pants as Han Qi.
Otherwise, everyone would probably shout and beat Ouyang for practicing scriptures.
But that aside, it works really well.
Although I don't know whether Qi Heng really believed Li Hao's arrangement, or he wanted to help Zhao Zonghan based on his own position, or it was both.
Anyway, he did fire on Han Qi first in the court, repeating exactly what they had said to Ouyang Xiu in the court.
Han Qi's performance was not as good as Ouyang Xiu's. He was so angry in the court that he almost smoked, and his expression changed on the spot.
Of course, this is not necessarily Han Qi's problem. After all, he is not as experienced as Ouyang Xiu.
After Qi Heng's commotion, the scene of gathering fire to attack Ouyang Xiu in the court was no longer there.
Because as soon as someone makes a complaint about Ouyang Xiu, someone will immediately accuse Han Qi, and there is a kind of boss-for-one momentum.
Anyway, at most, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu will leave together, and no one can take advantage.
In addition, at the end of this matter, someone did have an idea. After all, if they really want to drive away these two prime ministers, wouldn't this position be vacant?
Who among the officials doesn’t want to be the prime minister and assistant, so some thoughtful people began to make a fuss, as if they were afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
Upon seeing this, Han Qi knew that his goal could not be achieved, and he was worried that the future development of the situation would be beyond his control, so he began to intervene to calm the matter.
Later, Ouyang Xiu didn't want to be troubled by this matter anymore, so he joined the team to calm down the incident.
The two prime ministers and assistants took action at the same time, and the effect was still very obvious. The people had no choice. No matter how powerful Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi were, they could not stop the gossip.
But at the official level, the deterrence of these two people was very strong, and calm suddenly returned to the court.
It was at this time that Zhao Pian's memorial finally arrived in Bianjing, and it was time for Li Hao to show up.
As for why it arrived so late, it all belongs to Gu Tingye.
….
In order to have enough time to arrange these things, Gu Tingye arranged many surprises for the messengers who delivered the memorials.
For example, he or his horse was accidentally injured, the horse was suddenly lost, or even led astray. Anyway, the bad luck he encountered along the way was one after another, which caused a serious psychological shadow on him. Dare to go out.
So when the visitors saw Li Hao, their first reaction was to break down and cry, which made Li Hao feel a little guilty.
In order to appease him, Li Hao called Fu Deng and asked him to send someone with money to accompany the messenger around Bianjing, enjoy the beauty of this colorful world, and soothe his heart.
Afterwards, Li Hao sent the memorial to the Political Affairs Hall, put on his official uniform and went to the palace, hoping to see Zhao Zhen.
Li Hao originally thought that this business would go smoothly. After all, he was still Zhao Zonghan in name only.
The attendant is, to a certain extent, someone who is on the same side as Empress Cao now.
But in fact, something unexpected happened. As soon as Li Hao entered the palace, he was taken directly to Ciyuan Hall and met Empress Cao.
I just heard Empress Cao say: "This trip to Shu, I didn't expect that you and Zhao Qing's family could manage it so smoothly.
It seems that the officials are still very discerning and have indeed chosen the right person. "
Hearing this, Li Hao was speechless for a while. Although it is indeed politically correct to praise Zhao Zhen, you can't just praise him without mentioning our role.
Although he was complaining in his heart, Li Hao still replied: "This matter is indeed the official blessing. The White Lotus Rebellion Party has not grown too strong in Shu, so it can be done so quickly."
Li Hao originally just answered casually, but these words made Empress Cao grab her tail and said directly: "Oh, the White Lotus Rebellion Party is not strong, then why did the Shu officials talk about it like that? serious.
Speaking of which, I heard that you raided the rebellious parties this time and captured many officials in Shu who colluded with them.
Many of them also wrote letters, saying that banditry was serious in Shu and ordered the imperial court to go to suppress the bandits. This is how you came to this profession.
But why would they do such contradictory things and bring trouble to themselves?
I have never understood this point. I wonder what you will find after you go to Shu. "
Li Hao originally didn't pay attention to what Empress Cao said before, but after Empress Cao finished speaking, Li Hao was shocked.
It is obvious that Queen Cao probably already knows the truth about what happened in Shuzhong.
But not many people know the truth about this matter. In Bianjing City, I only told Yang Wenyuan and Gu Tingye about the matter. In addition, I sent a letter to Ouyang Xiu earlier, vaguely mentioning Han Qi.
But no matter what these people thought, they probably would not tell Queen Cao the news.
If it's not a problem on Bianjing's side, it's on Shu's side, but the only ones there who know the whole truth should be themselves and Zhao Bian.
In addition, there are people in the military. They may also have the opportunity to read the letter and guess something.
However, Li Hao didn't think it was Zhao Bian who said this, because if Zhao Bian was really Empress Cao's person, then there would be no need for Empress Cao to come out to him.
As long as Zhao Bian comes forward and directly confronts Han Qi in the court, it will be fine.
Moreover, compared to Zhao Bian, the Cao family was originally a general. They had some information channels in the army, which Li Hao could understand.
….
However, there is no rush to find out who leaked this matter. What Li Hao urgently needs to consider now is how to answer.
If Li Hao answered, he would undoubtedly have directly stated his position and automatically stood behind Zhao Zonghan.
And the most important thing is that once Li Hao points out Han Qi, Queen Cao will definitely take this opportunity to take action against Han Qi. At that time, she will face Han Qi directly and start to face Hong.
This goes against Li Hao's plan to hide his edge and completely puts himself on the front line of the battle.
But to refuse directly would undoubtedly offend Empress Cao, which put Li Hao in a bit of a dilemma.
However, it was the lesser of two evils. Compared to rejecting Queen Cao at this time, Li Hao was more unwilling to enter the front line of party struggle.
Anyway, as long as her strength was still there, Queen Cao would not dare to really turn her back and force herself to Zhao Zongquan's side.
Even if there is a suitable opportunity, Li Hao can push Zhao Zonghan to succeed, maybe she will have to thank herself.
So Li Hao replied: "This matter is indeed strange, so after I captured the group of officials who were friends with the bandits, I immediately put them on trial.
But those officials were very tough-talking and refused to say anything. It was not easy for me to lynch them, so I couldn't do anything about them for the time being.
Therefore, when I return to Beijing this time, I want to request an order to escort those prisoners back to Bianjing and hand them over to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishments for trial. I don't have to worry about them not telling the truth. "
After hearing Li Hao's answer, Empress Cao narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Li Hao for a long time, making Li Hao look a little embarrassed.
Then he said: "Those people have been in your hands for so long, and you really haven't asked anything."
Li Hao replied: "I really didn't ask anything. Your Excellency also knows about the arrangement of this matter."
After speaking, Li Hao stood up and said, "I am incompetent, so please forgive me, the Queen."
As Li Hao finished speaking, Ciyuan Hall fell into silence.
After a while, Empress Cao showed her face and said, "There are specialties in this art, and I understand that torture and interrogation are not your specialty.
If this is the case, then summon all these prisoners to the capital, let Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment interrogate them, and maybe they will speak out. "

After confirming this, Empress Cao continued: "The official is in poor health and is currently recuperating.
And your wife just gave birth to a son for you. I think you rushed back to Beijing and haven't even come home to see him.
It's not good for you to get over your illness. It won't be good for the children and your wife, so the official family won't see you today. "
After hearing Empress Cao's expulsion order, Li Hao naturally understood the situation and stood up to leave.
After leaving the palace, Li Hao looked back at the palace, feeling that it was already full of gloom.
Now Queen Cao and Han Qi have almost brought this struggle to the public. It seems that Zhao Zhen's body really does not have much time left.
Thinking about how Zhao Zhen had been very enthusiastic about his promotion over the years, it could be said that without Zhao Zhen's protection, he would never have been promoted to this level at such a young age. Li Hao felt really sad for a while.
However, this sadness did not last long, because Li Hao returned to his mansion next.
….
Li Hao didn't leave for long this time, but because of the special circumstances, Li Hao was quite excited when he saw the door of the mansion.
Li Hao originally wanted to come back when he first returned to Beijing. After all, this was his first child.
Ever since Gu Tingye told Li Hao the news, Li Hao had been excited. However, in the face of major events, Li Hao still knew his priorities.
But when he arrived at the door, Li Hao was really timid and didn't know how to look when he saw Zhang Guifen and the child.
Just as Li Hao was standing outside the door to cheer himself up, Xiaodie walked out of the door and saw Li Hao at a glance.
He said happily: "Sir, why are you staying here? The old lady and the madam are waiting for you."
At this moment, Li Hao felt like someone had caught him out of his disguise, and he was a little embarrassed.
He coughed twice and said, "I just came out of the palace and am about to enter the mansion.
Where are the wife and children now? I'll go and see first. "
Xiaodie felt quite strange after hearing this, and replied: "The madam and the young master are of course in your yard. The old lady and the British princess are also there at this time. You can see them when you go in."
Li Hao couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard that he had said nonsense again.
He coughed twice and walked towards his yard. This scene made Xiaodie behind him stunned and couldn't help but laugh.
When Li Hao walked into the courtyard, the commotion became louder. The maids and servants in the mansion bowed one by one, which alerted Mrs. Wei and Zhang Guifen.
When Li Hao arrived, Mrs. Wei was already waiting outside the courtyard gate.
Originally, in Li Hao's view, this would be a touching scene of a loving mother and a filial son, but who would have thought that Wei's first words were: "What did you just do? Why didn't you come back immediately after returning to Beijing?"
Do you know how painful your wife was on the day she gave birth? Do you know how uncomfortable she is these days? "
Hearing this, Li Hao was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
At this time, Li Hao's mother-in-law came out, relieved Li Hao, and said: "Li Hao was appointed by the officials to go out on errands this time. After returning to Beijing, it is the proper procedure to go to the palace to meet the saint. My mother-in-law does not need to be angry about this. "
Although Wei's knowledge was not high, as Li Hao's official position was rising day by day, Wei was also a person who had seen the world.
Wei naturally understands this truth.
, what I just said was nothing more than a preemptive attack to silence my mother-in-law.
After all, it was indeed inappropriate for Li Hao to leave when Zhang Guifen was pregnant.
Although the British princess-in-law didn't say anything at the time, it didn't mean that she could remain calm when she saw Zhang Guifen's pain in childbirth.
As a mother, Ms. Wei understands how uncomfortable it feels when she sees her children suffering but she can't help them.
Therefore, Mrs. Wei was a little worried that the British father-in-law would be angry with Li Hao for this, so the above scene happened.
Of course, the British princess really didn't plan to do anything. After all, Li Hao had told her the cause of this matter, but Mrs. Wei didn't know about it.
When the British lady-in-law spoke, Mrs. Wei borrowed the donkey from the slope and said, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go into the house quickly and see your wife?"
Hearing this, Li Hao hurriedly entered the room. As soon as he entered, he looked towards the bed.
Zhang Guifen happened to be leaning on the bed, holding her child in her arms, looking towards the door.
So the two naturally looked at each other, and then Li Hao discovered that Zhang Guifen's face was less rosy than before, and she looked much tired overall.
Before Li Hao came in again, he had thought of countless words to praise his wife, but at this moment, Li Hao suddenly felt empty. After holding it in for a long time, he finally said: "Madam, you have worked hard."
But just these six simple words made Zhang Guifen unable to bear it any longer, although she could understand Li Hao's hard work for state affairs.
But she still felt aggrieved for herself, but with these six words from Li Hao, Zhang Guifen really felt relieved, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
This time, Li Hao was frightened and he quickly stepped forward to help her wipe away her tears.
Then he sat next to Zhang Guifen, hugged her gently from the side, and said, "Did I say something wrong? I'm a stupid person, so don't take it to heart."
Zhang Guifen replied: "No, I just cried because I suddenly saw you and was so happy."
After speaking, he lifted the child up a little and said, "Look, this is our child."
This was the first time Li Hao saw his child. He saw that the baby's skin was white, round and smooth, with fine skin and tender flesh.
At first glance, I felt that it must be very comfortable to the touch, and in fact Li Hao did the same.
