Han Qi was also quite surprised when he heard Chen Shengzhi's words and didn't understand Ouyang Xiu's intention of doing this.
Looking at Chen Shengzhi aside, he couldn't help but speculate that Ouyang Xiu was trying to use this matter to win over Chen Shengzhi.
But just giving him a slap and a sweet date is too petty, and it also underestimates himself and Chen Shengzhi.
Han Qi felt that Ouyang Xiu would not do this, but he could not think of any other purpose.
Now was the critical moment when Zhao Zhen was seriously ill. Han Qi didn't think Ouyang Xiu would do anything meaningless, so he frowned and fell into deep thought.
Han Qi's move shocked Chen Shengzhi on the side. After all, Han Qi's expression changed immediately after he had just finished speaking.
He immediately thought that he had fallen into some kind of trick, but Chen Shengzhi didn't notice anything was wrong no matter how hard he thought about it.
I was about to ask Han Qi a question, but seeing Han Qi like that I didn't want to disturb him, so I could only wait aside.
As a result, the longer I waited, the more anxious I became, and the more anxious I became, the more afraid I became. I thought about what would happen after I was dismissed from office.
Then, after finally waiting for Han Qi to come to his senses, he hurriedly said: "Master, what is the hidden meaning of Ouyang Xiu's move? Should I go to the official to plead guilty and ask for leniency?"
Hearing such sudden words, Han Qi was stunned and replied: "Ouyang Xiu said he would help you, and I won't just sit back and do nothing here. Just relax."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Shengzhi blurted out without thinking.
"Ouyang Xiu really wants to help me, not to use this to plot to harm me."
After saying that, Chen Shengzhi regretted it. It was obvious that he was thinking too much and scared himself.
Of course Han Qi figured it out at this time, so he explained: "I was just thinking about Ouyang Xiu's intention of doing this, although I haven't thought of it yet.
But at this time, he will not specifically target you, so you can rest assured.
In addition, I hope you can take this opportunity to have more contact with Ouyang Xiu and test what he wants to do.
By the way, I would also test his attitude to see if he is willing to support the eldest prince to inherit the throne. "
Naturally, Chen Shengzhi would not object to Han Qi's request. He just said, "But if it were me who said this, I'm afraid Ouyang Xiu wouldn't care."
Han Qi replied: "Don't worry about this. You are just testing the situation. If he is really interested, the eldest prince and I will naturally go and talk to him."
After confirming this, Han Qi did not forget to ask Li Hao what to do.
"If I go to Ouyang Xiuna often, no one else in the Third Division can suppress Li Hao. What will Li Hao do next?"
Han Qi replied: "Originally, I had no intention of doing anything to Li Hao, I just wanted to keep him distracted and have no time to go to the western suburbs camp.
But Li Hao's counterattack this time is obviously dissatisfied with this matter. There is no need to make enemies at this stage, so let's let it go for now. "
This was exactly what Chen Shengzhi wanted. After all, judging from the situation this time, if Li Hao really got into trouble, he would most likely be the unlucky one.
Ouyang Xiu, on the surface, showed great concern for Chen Shengzhi's affairs. ….
When he went to the Yamen on the second day, he sent someone to the Third Division and brought a message to Chen Shengzhi.
He asked Chen Shengzhi to go to the mansion again after he was released from office, and said that Li Hao would also go there today, taking this opportunity to let the two of them settle their differences.
Of course Chen Shengzhi had no objection to this. Being able to settle the matter earlier would save him from worrying about when something would happen, so he readily agreed to arrive on time.
After getting the reply, the servant went to Li Hao again and said the same thing.
Of course, Li Hao himself knew the inside story, so he naturally understood Ouyang Xiu's intention, and even said he would go.
After going to the Yamen, Li Hao still pretended to be dissatisfied with Chen Shengzhi.
Although they were traveling on the same road, they still went out early on purpose and left without waiting for Chen Shengzhi to join them.
Chen Shengzhi was actually planning to come together, and he
Someone was specially sent to wait outside the Yamen, but in the end, this person couldn't keep up with Li Hao's speed.
But there wasn't much time between the two of them, and they just arrived one after another.
Ouyang Xiu also came back early today and was waiting for the two of them in the mansion.
But when these three people sat in the main hall together, the atmosphere was somewhat strange.
Seeing this situation, Ouyang Xiu immediately said: "I think you already know the reason why I asked you two to come here today. Today I want to take this opportunity to resolve your conflict."
After finishing speaking, he turned to Li Hao and said, "Uncle Yang is the envoy of the Third Division, and he has the right to take charge of the Three Divisions.
Although the Salt and Iron Department has been inspected several times these days, the other two departments are also in the same situation. Uncle Yang has no intention of targeting you. "
Then he did not forget to signal to Chen Shengzhi and asked: "Uncle Yang, what I said is right."
Chen Shengzhi naturally knew that he was deliberately targeting him, but when he heard Ouyang Xiu's words, he still replied categorically: "This is natural. My intention is just to make Sansi better. I never thought of targeting anyone."
Ouyang Xiu then said to Li Hao: "Right, you just have such a smooth road, but whenever you feel a little wronged, you feel that you have suffered a big loss because it was someone else's deliberate act.
Uncle Yang is a loyal and upright gentleman. Don't always treat a gentleman with a villain's heart. "
When Li Hao heard this, he was naturally full of grievances and wanted to argue.
Chen Shengzhi on the side also saw something was wrong at this time and thought to himself what Ouyang Xiu was planning to do. Didn't these words provoke Li Hao to react?
But before Li Hao could say anything, Ouyang Xiu said, "Why, you won't be happy if I say a few words to you."
Hearing this, what could Li Hao say, he could only say: "I don't dare, it's just that I didn't want to provoke this matter. Why now the problem is all my fault."
Ouyang Xiu replied: "I didn't say that this is all your problem, because even if Uncle Yang doesn't have this intention, the people below are inevitably biased.
In addition, since you entered the court, you have attracted a lot of attention. Naturally, it is easy to attract villains to cause trouble. I think Uncle Yang will also give you an explanation for this matter. "
After hearing this, Chen Shengzhi quickly agreed: "This is indeed possible. I will investigate it carefully after I go back. I will definitely find out who is secretly instigating it, and I will definitely give you an explanation."...
Now that the words had reached this point, Ouyang Xiu began to prepare to finish, so he looked at Li Hao and pretended to put pressure.
Li Hao took advantage of the situation and said, "Okay, in that case, I will wait for the news from Mr. Chen."
Seeing Li Hao relenting, the atmosphere in the venue immediately relaxed.
Next, Ouyang Xiu did not start the following topic directly, but first prepared a table of food and wine.
After drinking for three rounds, Ouyang Xiucai continued: "By the way, I recently heard a news that a batch of ordnance that was about to be completed was accidentally destroyed by the Weiyuan.
And that batch of ordnance happened to be requested by the northwest, and was built by the Salt and Iron Department of the Privy Council. Is this the case? "
Hearing these words, Chen Shengzhi immediately woke up, but he also understood that these words were not meant for him.
Sure enough, Li Hao answered at this time: "This is indeed the case. Some unrelated people happened to appear in Nan Workshop at that time, which caused this incident to happen."
Ouyang Xiu didn't care what Li Hao said, as long as he answered the conversation.
"If something like this really happened, then why didn't you come to me earlier? Are you waiting for the official to convict you?
Fortunately, I learned about the situation from other places. I have already informed you about this matter, so there is no need for the Privy Council to worry.
But in the northwest, you still need to write a letter to the British father and ask him to help you deal with it. "
Upon hearing this, Li Hao immediately said: "This..."
Ouyang Xiu said: "This, this, this, this matter concerns the Third Division, not only you, but Uncle Yang, as the Third Division Envoy, will also be implicated.
By doing this, you are not only helping yourself, but also helping Uncle Yang. I think Uncle Yang will also thank you. "
Chen Shengzhi said immediately: "That's true. As long as Mr. Li settles this matter properly, I will naturally be very grateful.
The inspections of the other three divisions have been completely completed, and the Salt and Iron Division has achieved excellent results. I will definitely report the truth to the officials. "
Seeing that Chen Shengzhi had already surrendered, Li Hao took advantage of the situation and agreed to the matter.
At this point, this matter that Li Hao deliberately caused was completely over.
Although it did not cause any real harm to Chen Shengzhi and Han Qi, it focused their attention on Ouyang Xiu, allowing Li Hao to plan everything more calmly, which can be considered a success.
Gu Tingye's progress was also quite smooth, and he roughly listed those who had taken refuge with Zhao Zongquan.
Two of them came from the Imperial Army, which also proved that Li Hao's worries at the time were correct, and not all of the original team members were reliable.
As for Yang Wenyuan, because the league is about to start, there are already many things to do.
In addition, Zhao Zhen's apparent physical improvement coincided with the agreement to start the league, so Zhao Zhen thought that the league was a good omen, so he added another reward.
The original reward for the first place was changed to the seventh-grade Captain Zhiguo, which is one level higher than the title Captain Yihui that Gu Tingye received when he presided over the league.
After hearing the news, those who signed up were crazy with joy, and those who had not signed up before also signed up enthusiastically in order to earn some money.
For a time, because there were so many people participating, the prices of all the good horses in Bianjing were raised. ….
In addition, those who can play polo or Cuju are in short supply.
If it hadn't been for a few days until the start of the game, I'm afraid these people would have to hire experts from Daming Mansion and Yingtian Mansion to help them fight.
But that's fine. After all, the excitement in Manbian Capital attracted most people's attention and made it easier for Li Hao to investigate the situation.
In addition to Li Hao, other interested people are naturally involved in the activity.
On the day when the league officially opened, the streets were packed with people. Whether they were ordinary people or dignitaries, they all flocked to the league competition venue.
Of course, the people on both sides were clearly divided. The dignitaries and nobles naturally rode carriages directly into the arena and sat waiting for the game to start.
Ordinary people were wandering around outside the venue, and many even picked up things and did small business directly outside.
And because there are too many participants this time, in order to complete the competition as soon as possible, we can only try to extend the daily competition time and have more games.
Over time, eating and drinking for so many people will naturally become a big business.
After learning that money could be made here, more people came here to do business, so a small market was formed outside during the competition.
For a while, the Jinming Pond was bustling with excitement, but amidst the bustle, Zhao Zhen's health deteriorated again and he fell directly onto the bed, unconscious for a time.
Empress Cao immediately called the Song Dynasty doctor over and took Zhao Zhen's pulse while she watched from the side.
When taking the pulse again, the Song Dynasty doctor kept frowning. This scene made Empress Cao uneasy.
After the Song Dynasty doctor took his pulse, he was about to speak when he was interrupted by Empress Cao.
I heard Empress Cao say: "Except for the Imperial Physician of the Song Dynasty, everyone else is going out. You, the eunuch Qi, also go outside and watch. No one is allowed to enter the Funing Palace without my order."
After everyone was ordered to retreat, Empress Cao asked: "What happened to the official family? They were fine in the morning, and they fell unconscious so suddenly."
The imperial physician of the Song Dynasty replied: "The official's condition was only restored to normal a few days ago, but in fact, his pulse has been weak and his qi and blood have been deficient.
This coma is a sign of exhaustion of energy and blood, and now the official is afraid that he will not survive seven days. "
Although she was prepared in her heart, Empress Cao still couldn't bear it, and her eyes suddenly turned black.
Seeing this, the Song Dynasty doctor quickly stepped forward to help Queen Cao, helped Queen Cao sit down on a chair, and took Queen Cao's pulse.
However, there was nothing wrong with Queen Cao's body. She just couldn't accept it and her blood surged for a while.
Then he said: "Empress, your Guan Xian is strong and weak, and your inches are weak. I think you have been worried for a long time, resulting in lack of sleep."
I heard bad news again today, and it was caused by emotion. Although this is not a big deal.
The current situation in the official family is like this. You have to take great care of yourself. After all, the Song Dynasty still needs you. "
Queen Cao calmed down for a while and replied: "Okay, I understand, I will pay attention to it, and when can the officials wake up."
Imperial Physician Song said: "I will prescribe some medicine later. After giving it to the official, he should be able to wake up in two or three hours at the latest."
Empress Cao said: "Okay, the doctor is working hard over there, and please don't tell others about the official's condition.
He told the public that this was a relapse of an old illness and that he would recover within a few days of cultivation, so as to calm people's hearts and allow the officials to have time to arrange the following matters. "
The Imperial Physician of the Song Dynasty naturally understood Empress Cao's request and immediately agreed to it.
Afterwards, Empress Cao personally escorted Dr. Song out of the house, and also called Internal Supervisor Qi to personally accompany him to the Imperial Medical Bureau to grab medicine.
Before Queen Cao returned to the palace to rest, she heard the news of Cao Jingxiu's arrival.
It turned out that in order to facilitate the discussion of information and to deal with news in Bianjing City in a timely manner, Cao Jingxiu basically lived in the Imperial City Si Yamen during this period.
After all, it is just outside Zuo Chengtian Gate. Once you get the news from the palace, you can immediately enter the palace to see Empress Cao.
This time, he got the news from Queen Cao. Cao Jingxiu didn't dare to delay for a moment, and directly entered the palace with his badge.
After entering the Funing Palace with Queen Cao, Queen Cao cleared out the palace maids and eunuchs, and then explained the situation to Cao Jingxiu.

After hearing this, Cao Jingxiu said: "Since there are only a few days left, I'm afraid we have to prepare in advance.
We can also learn from what Concubine Rong did last time. If the family records of the generals leading the army in Bianjing City can be controlled in the palace, it will be much safer. ".
