After all, what Ouyang Xiu said was that he was a scholar, so his position would naturally be on the side of the scholars.
At this point, even if Li Hao came to persuade him, the effect would definitely not be too great.
Therefore, Li Hao had no intention of telling Ouyang Xiu what those military generals and nobles thought, and he also needed to hide what happened today.
There happened to be an urgent matter that could only be handled by Ouyang Xiu, so Li Hao brought it up to distract Ouyang Xiu's energy.
"Han Qi colluded with Zhao Zongquan and conspired against him, which should have been dealt with according to law, but now the official family and the empress have collapsed, and the young prince has not succeeded to the throne.
Han Qi was unable to deal with it for the time being. The British could only send troops and horses to seal off the Daxiangguo Temple. No one was allowed to enter or exit, and he was detained inside the Daxiangguo Temple.
But after all, Han Qi is still the Prime Minister, and the military orders of the British Duke alone may not be able to stop him for long, and it is not appropriate to let the North Korean and Chinese civil servants see him.
If Han Qi were to seize the opportunity to cause trouble due to civil-military conflicts, it would be possible for him to escape disaster, which would be detrimental to the security of the country.
We have considered it carefully, and it is safest only for my uncle to step in and resolve the matter as soon as possible. "
After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu no longer inquired about the situation in Li Hao's palace, but said, "You have considered this matter very carefully. After all, Han Qi is the prime minister, and even if he is guilty, he cannot be dealt with by the generals.
After all, it is not a good thing for warriors to interfere in politics. Once this precedent is set, it will inevitably arouse the anger of the officials in the court, which may shake the country's foundation.
But the most important thing now is not to deal with Han Qi, and it can't be done. "
In the meantime, Ouyang Xiu took a sip of tea, and then said: "Han Qi is Tong Zhongshu's disciple Ping Zhangshi and Zhao Wenxiang, in what capacity can I deal with him.
Even if he committed a serious crime, the civil and military officials in the court would not plead for mercy, but it was still unreasonable.
Therefore, the most important thing now is to quickly follow the official decree and make the young prince ascend the throne immediately.
Then the official issued an edict and selected officials to investigate and deal with the group of people who accompanied Zhao Zongquan in rebellion.
As for what you are worried about, I will come to appease the ministers and will not give Han Qi a chance to cause trouble. "
Since Ouyang Xiu knew what he was thinking, Li Hao stopped trying to persuade him.
Then Ouyang Xiu asked: "By the way, are the British Duke and others still in the palace now?"
Li Hao replied: "Yes, after all, Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan have to patrol the entire palace and cannot stay with the little prince.
Therefore, the British Duke stayed, so as to prevent young people from causing trouble again. "
After Ouyang Xiu was sure, he said: "I will contact some important ministers later and explain the situation to them in general, and then enter the palace with them.
[In view of the general environment,
As for you, go back to the palace first and tell the British public what I just said. "
Li Hao didn't care too much about who Ouyang Xiu would go to. Anyway, Ouyang Xiu was so experienced that he wouldn't be fooled.
But Li Hao still intervened and said, "Uncle can go to Xia Shen Mansion later and find Shen Tugang.
After all, his son-in-law, a prince storyteller, is already getting ahead of himself, so he, the father-in-law, should definitely help.
We can't do all the work for us, let Qi Heng sit back and enjoy the results. "
Ouyang Xiu nodded and said, "That makes sense. It seems like Shen Mansion should really go there."
But then he joked: "But when you say this, why do you make me feel that you are dissatisfied with Qi Heng? I haven't heard that you two have any old grudges."
Li Hao didn't answer. After all, his resentment towards Qi Heng came from TV.
The situation has changed a lot now, and naturally there is no way to explain it to Ouyang Xiu.
He said directly: "I have written down what my uncle told me, and I will talk to the British Duke after I get back."
Ouyang Xiu saw Li Hao like this and didn't ask any further questions. Anyway, it was just a small matter and did not affect the overall situation.
Then seeing that Ouyang Xiu had nothing to add, Li Hao went straight back to the palace, and then went all the way to Baoci Palace to meet the British Duke.
Moreover, Li Hao's arrival also alarmed Zhao Zonghan, who had already woken up.
Zhao Zonghan was originally very nervous. After all, suddenly, Zhao Zhen died, and Empress Cao, who had been taking care of him, also died, and she died in front of him. This shock was really too much for a child. Big.
In addition, during the turmoil in the palace, both Funing Hall and Ciyuan Hall were the focus of conflict, resulting in heavy losses for the maids and chamberlains in both places.
As a result, the people sent to look after Zhao Zonghan were all found from other places.
Looking at this unfamiliar environment and the unknown people around him, Zhao Zonghan could not help but feel anxious and uneasy.
As for the British Duke, this name originally only appeared in other people's mouths. Zhao Zonghan had never even met him.
Although he looked very respectful and said that he could ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor immediately instead of becoming the crown prince.
But Zhao Zonghan really felt insecure until Li Hao arrived and Zhao Zonghan finally saw an acquaintance.
Dangjia said: "Sir, you are finally here."
Seeing Zhao Zonghan's excited look, Li Hao was confused and didn't understand why he had such a reaction.
So he looked at the British father and wanted to ask what was going on.
The British man was so scheming that he could naturally see Zhao Zonghan's situation and knew that Zhao Zonghan felt isolated and helpless and wanted to grab a life-saving straw.
The British public was naturally happy to see the results and deepened the relationship between Li Hao and Zhao Zonghan.
Then he replied to Li Hao: "The prince may be a little uneasy. Since you are here, please stay here and talk to the prince. I will go out to see how the palace is doing."
After saying that, he stood up and left, leaving space for Li Hao and Zhao Zonghan.
When there were only two people left in the room, Zhao Zonghan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and tears couldn't stop flowing from his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Li Hao hurried forward and asked, "Prince, what are you feeling uncomfortable about? Do you want me to ask the imperial doctor to come over?"
But Zhao Zonghan said at this time: "Sir, are your father and mother really dead?"
Hearing this, Li Hao reacted.
Also, Zhao Zonghan is only a five- or six-year-old child after all, so it is indeed difficult to accept that he suddenly encountered such a thing.
But there is no room for lying in this matter. Although this matter is cruel to Zhao Zonghan, he must be informed.
"The official family and the empress did indeed collapse during the palace incident. When we arrived, we only rescued you."
Zhao Zonghan's beautiful fantasy was shattered, and he felt even more uncomfortable. He cried and said, "My father died shortly after I was born. After that, my mother and I lived under the fence in Xiangzhou and depended on each other.
At that time, my husband took me from Xiangzhou and gave me my father and mother again. They treated me very well.
But now, my father and mother are both dead. Do you think this is all happening because of me? "
Seeing that Zhao Zonghan was starting to deny himself, Li Hao immediately said: "Prince, don't think too much, the death of King Shu is the end of his life, it has nothing to do with the prince.
As for the death of the official and the queen, it was because the rebel party was ambitious and wanted to usurp the throne, and it had nothing to do with the prince.
And I believe that whether it is King Shu, the officials, or the queen, they must hope that you can live a good life. "
Li Hao really can't do anything about fanning. If he continues to persuade him, he won't even know what words to make up.
So Li Hao quickly changed his tone and said, "And you must cheer up now and stop thinking nonsense.
After all, the official family has entrusted all their expectations to you. You can't let down the official family and the queen who love you so much! "
These words were indeed more useful than Shan Qing's words. At least after hearing these words, Zhao Zonghan was stunned for a moment and really stopped crying.
But then he said with a grimace: "The British Duke just told me about the imperial edict. He said that my father asked me to be the emperor, but I don't know what to do."
Now that the topic has been brought here, Li Hao plans to mix in some private information: "No, I can't learn from it. When the officials succeeded to the throne, they were not very young.
It also grew up step by step with the help of the courtiers and Queen Zhang Xianmingsu.
Although the Queen is not around you now, the courtiers are still there and they will definitely help you, Prince.
Especially Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Yingying and I, we will definitely stand by your side to help the prince. This is also written in the imperial edict left by the official family. "
With that said, he took out the edict he had just brought out and showed it to Zhao Zonghan.
Speaking of which, when Li Hao brought the edict to Ouyang Xiu, he actually forgot about Zhao Zonghan, so that he, the rightful owner, had not seen the edict with his own eyes.
If it were an adult prince, Li Hao's move would be extremely unlucky.
Of course, then again, if it were anyone else, Li Hao probably wouldn't be so negligent.
After Zhao Zonghan saw it, he suddenly cried again, which confused Li Hao. He thought in his heart: Could it be that children's minds are so unpredictable and elusive? I hope my children will never be like this in the future.
Just when Li Hao was about to come and persuade him, he heard Zhao Zonghan say with a crying voice: "This is my father's handwriting. My father even wrote a copybook for me to copy."
Hearing this, Li Hao had no choice but to say: "Prince, don't be too sad. An official like you will not be happy."
After that, Li Hao comforted him softly for a long time, which finally made Zhao Zonghan feel better.
At this time, a chamberlain suddenly came in from outside, saying that Ouyang Xiu and other ministers were outside seeking an audience.
After hearing this, Li Hao really wanted to pat himself on the head. How could he have forgotten about it? He hadn't even gone to talk to the British father-in-law yet.
But I believe there will be no problems because of this. After all, the people on both sides are thousand-year-old foxes. Even if they are not prepared, they can handle it easily.
At this time, Zhao Zonghan did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at Li Hao for advice.
So Li Hao said: "Master Ouyang is the person entrusted by the government. He must have something important to say when he comes here. You can't neglect it."
After Zhao Zonghan heard this, he asked the servants to let them in, and his actions and tone were quite similar to Zhao Zhen.
After a while, Ouyang Xiu and the British Master walked in together with a group of people, and Li Hao took a quick look.
Except for a group of generals led by the British Duke, the others in the crowd should be the people Ouyang Xiu found.
The Privy Council's deputy envoys and co-presidents are all here, which means that the entire Privy Council team is here.
Two counselors came to the political hall, and only two deputy prime ministers came. Only Han Qi and another counselor did not come.
In addition, Zeng Gongliang, the current power magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, also came. This guy led people to fight when Zhao Zongquan entered the city, although he lost.
But fortunately, Li Hao and the others arrived so quickly that Zhao Zongquan had no time to catch him and allowed him to escape.
Then the rest are Shen Tugang and other six officials, as well as officials from Jianyuan and Dazongzhengsi.
In addition to the three divisions represented by Li Hao, almost everyone in the real power yamen in Bianjing City has arrived. This makes Li Hao sigh with emotion at Ouyang Xiu's ability.
It's not easy to gather people together so quickly without saying a word.
While Li Hao's thoughts were racing, everyone had already finished paying homage to Zhao Zonghan.
At this time, Ouyang Xiu said: "Prince, please bring out the official edict and read it to us."
Hearing this, Zhao Zonghan was a little at a loss. He instinctively looked at Li Hao and asked Li Hao what to do.
Li Hao nodded slightly when he saw this, signaling Zhao Zonghan's agreement.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Zonghan said: "Then please invite sir to read out the imperial edict of my father."
With that said, he handed the imperial edict in his hand to Li Hao.
In front of so many people, Li Hao naturally followed all the etiquette before taking the imperial edict, read it in public, and handed it to Ouyang Xiu for everyone to circulate.
Seeing that there was indeed no problem with the imperial edict, he sent it back to Li Hao.
After that, he came forward and began to advise, asking Zhao Zonghan to hold a court meeting, make the edict public to the public, and succeed to the throne as soon as possible.
Moreover, Li Hao was a little dazed when he was talking, not to mention Zhao Zonghan.
So Zhao Zonghan looked at Li Hao again and asked for his opinion.
Upon seeing this, Li Hao first nodded to indicate Zhao Zonghan's agreement, and then nodded on the names of Ying Gong and Ouyang Xiu in the edict.
Zhao Zonghan also understood the meaning at this time and said: "Everything will be done according to the imperial edict. Since my father asked Grand Prime Minister Ouyang and Duke Ying to assist the government, then this matter will be left to you."
After speaking, he looked at Li Hao, seemingly asking Li Hao if he did the right thing.
Then Li Hao quietly gave him a thumbs up to indicate that he had done a good job, and no one at the bottom of the interaction noticed.
Because as Yingying Gong and Ouyang Xiu came out to answer the call, the right to distribute the fruits of victory had completely fallen into their hands, which made people more concerned.
With the full support of Zhao Zonghan, Ouyang Xiu and the British Duke sorted everything out in a very short time.
All civil and military officials were convened in the Daqing Hall, and Ouyang Xiu read Zhao Zhen's edict in public, officially establishing Zhao Zonghan's identity as emperor.
Zhao Zonghan then sat on the dragon throne and accepted the worship of hundreds of officials.
After that, it was time to organize the funeral for Zhao Zhen. According to the requirements of the etiquette system, five envoys were selected. Ouyang Xiu himself was the leader of the five envoys, the British Duke was the envoy of etiquette, Zeng Gongliang was the envoy of honor, and the other funeral officials also followed one by one. Arrangements are in order.
The other most important thing is to send officials such as the Shanling Envoy and Si Tianjian to survey the mausoleum and let Zhao Zhen build the imperial mausoleum.
Anyway, the imperial court was busy online, so it was natural to postpone the disposal of some officials.
