Not long after arriving at Ningyuan Hou Mansion, I greeted the boy at the door and was welcomed over.
After all, Li Hao's face was of some use in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, as he didn't have to wait outside the house for communication.
As a result, before he even got close to the main hall, Li Hao found that the mansion seemed much livelier than usual, especially in the direction of the inner courtyard, where there was a lot of laughter and noise.
So Li Hao asked the boy who was leading the way: "Is there any happy event in your house? Why is it so lively?"
The boy just replied: "I don't even know what happened."
Then he didn't say anything else. Li Hao just thought that he was a good tutor in Ningyuan Houfu, so he didn't ask any more questions to avoid embarrassing others.
Anyway, after meeting Gu Tingye, it would be the same if he asked him face to face.
But before he had walked a few steps, Li Hao happened to see Xiao Tao hurriedly coming out of the inner courtyard, walking towards him with a dull head, and asked aloud: "Xiao Tao, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
Suddenly hearing someone calling her, Xiaotao stopped quickly, looked forward and saw Li Hao.
He immediately replied: "It turns out to be Young Master Ciao, I mean, why does this voice sound so familiar to me?
Are you here to see our Lord Marquis today? Then you may have to wait a little longer. "
Seeing Xiao Tao's questions and answers, Li Hao couldn't help but ask: "What, does your Marquis have anything urgent to do now?
Also, is there any happy event in your house? I heard this movement is quite lively! "
Xiao Tao smiled and replied: "Of course it's a big happy event. My eldest wife has always had a bad appetite in the past two days, so I invited the imperial doctor to see her today.
When the results came today, what do you think the imperial doctor said after taking the pulse? "
After hearing Xiao Tao's rhetorical question, Li Hao was speechless. There was no need to guess, you made it so obvious.
However, in order to cooperate with Xiao Tao, she still said: "Looking at your happy face, it must not be a bad thing. Could it be that your eldest wife is pregnant?"
Xiao Tao replied: "Young master Biao guessed right. The imperial doctor has just confirmed the diagnosis and issued a prescription for miscarriage. I am about to go to the pharmacy to get some medicine right now?"
"Well, then you go quickly, I won't waste your time."
After hearing Li Hao's words, Xiao Tao immediately replied: "Okay, then I'll go grab the medicine first."
After saying that, he hurriedly left, and Li Hao sat down in the main hall of the Hou Mansion, and then waited for Gu Tingye to be notified.
Although Li Hao expected that he would have to wait for a while, after all, Gu Tingye had just learned about Minglan's pregnancy and must have been extremely happy. He probably would not be willing to leave Minglan's side for a while.
But why, Li Hao didn't expect that he had to wait for more than half an hour. He drank four or five cups of tea and ate a plate of fruits before Gu Tingye arrived late.
Moreover, after Gu Tingye met, his first reaction was to look Li Hao up and down, and then said, "Your cousin is pregnant, and you came here empty-handed."
Li Hao curled his lips and said, "I'm not good at pinching or calculating, so how could I prepare in advance.
And I know about this before you do, so I’m afraid you may not be happy. "
After hearing this, Gu Tingye's face hardened, and he felt that what Li Hao said was quite reasonable. For a moment, he seemed to not know what to say.
But Li Hao replied: "Well, I still have some good supplements at home, many of which are tributes. I will ask my mother to deliver them to you when I return home.
Anyway, my mother knew about Minglan's pregnancy, so she would definitely come over to see her. "
Hearing this, Gu Tingye smiled and said, "How can I be embarrassed to ask you to spend more money!"
Seeing Gu Tingye's behavior of being obedient despite being given the advantage, Li Hao could only say a few words.
After finishing teasing, Gu Tingye got down to business: "By the way, why did you come here to see me today?"
Li Hao also suppressed his smile at this time and said, "It's true. Princess Miao and the officials summoned me to the palace two days ago and wanted me to do two things.
The first thing was Princess Miao’s request, saying that the consort’s family was bullying the father-in-law.
Lord, let me think of a way to prevent Princess Fukang and the consort from marrying each other;
The second thing is the official's request, he wants me to help him bring Mrs. Ningjun to Beijing.
Both of these things are quite difficult to handle, so I came to you to discuss them and see if you could come up with any ideas. "
After hearing this, Gu Tingye took a long breath and said, "Didn't the officials go to the Grand Prime Minister Fu Bi about Mrs. Ning Jun's matter, and then he was rejected by the Grand Prime Minister!
Then the official found you again, and you agreed to it. "
Facing Gu Tingye's questioning, Li Hao replied: "I can't help it. The officials begged me like that in the Funing Palace. I really couldn't hold it back.
After all, the official family was just a child of a few years old, and he encountered a huge change in the palace. He was afraid and wanted to find his biological mother to accompany him. This is human nature.
In fact, I regretted it soon after I agreed, but it was already too late, so I wanted to discuss it with you to see if there was any good way to help the officials. "
"You are too reckless. Is there anything I can do about this matter?
First of all, those who advised Taiwan will definitely not agree with this matter, and Grand Prime Minister Fu Bi has also stated that he no longer supports it.
Even if the Prime Minister Ouyang fully supports it, it may not be useful, let alone the Prime Minister Ouyang may not support it. Gu Tingye analyzed the situation for Li Hao and became increasingly pessimistic about the matter.
So after the two people sighed face to face, Li Haocai said again: "Let's forget about the official matter for now. I'll go find Mr. Ouyang and see if I can find another way.
But you can't shirk the matter about Mrs. Miao anymore. "
Seeing what Li Hao said, Gu Tingye also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, although what Mrs. Miao had to do was more troublesome, it could still be done.
So he agreed: "Okay, let me help you think about Mrs. Miao's matter and see if there is any good way."
Seeing Gu Tingye agreeing so readily, Li Hao felt happy. It seemed that this was the right approach, so he had to create an illusion for Gu Tingye first.
Just give him two things, one difficult and one simple, and then use words to bring him in, so that he will naturally choose to do simple things. After all, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
At this time, you are taking the initiative to take the rare things on yourself, and he may feel guilty for it, completely unaware that these two things have nothing to do with him.
Of course, the reason why Li Hao did this was that he didn't have to do that difficult thing, otherwise he would be asking for trouble.
After that, Li Hao didn't give Gu Tingye a free time to prevent him from coming to his senses.
"How much do you know about Princess Fukang and the consort Li Wei?"
Gu Tingye replied: "I only know that the two of them must be at odds with each other, but I really don't know exactly what happened.
After all, it involved a private royal matter, so I didn’t specifically inquire about it.
However, in the palace, something happened between Princess Fukang and Li Wei, and it also involved the current Princess Miao. "
"Oh, what is it? Let me tell you." Li Hao asked.
Gu Tingye said: "You may have never seen that Li Wei, his appearance is extremely ugly, and his biological mother is still a concubine.
Princess Fukang is naturally very dissatisfied with such a person, and the relationship between husband and wife is also very bad. Most people in Bianjing City know this.
Everything was fine in the beginning, but one day Princess Fukang actually knocked on the palace door at night and complained to the late emperor, wanting to break off the marriage to Li Wei.
But the late emperor did not agree at that time. He only ordered a few words of reprimand to everyone in the Li family, and then let Princess Fukang go back.
But Princess Fukang naturally refused to agree, so she sought death several times in the palace and even went crazy.
At that time, Concubine Miao was just a virtuous concubine. She was definitely not happy to see her daughter in such pain, so she wanted to help her daughter get rid of the marriage.
Of course, Princess Miao had a good relationship with Yu Chongyi, and Yu Chongyi also watched Princess Fukang grow up, so the two conspired and sent the eunuch Wang Wuzi to the Li Mansion as a housekeeper to keep an eye on Li Wei.
Want to find Li Wei
The fault was that Li Wei seemed to be very shrewd and cautious, and Wang Wuzi was unable to catch him in the end anyway.
At this point, the two of them should have just let it go if they didn't catch the fault, but looking at Princess Fukang's deteriorating condition, Princess Miao and Yu Chongyi really couldn't sit idly by.
In addition, Wang Wuzi was unable to complete the task, so he proposed to request an order to poison the consort Li Wei. Concubine Miao Xian and Yu Chongyi agreed after hearing this, and they actually went to the late emperor to request an order. "
When he said this, Gu Tingye said he was thirsty, so he stopped and was going to drink some tea before talking.
But as soon as Li Hao heard the critical moment of the story, he was interrupted and immediately asked: "What happened next? The officials probably won't agree."
Gu Tingye didn't care about Li Hao's impatience. He drank the tea slowly and then said: "In the face of Concubine Miao and Yu Chongyi'en's request, the officials did not directly express their position, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. .
The two people naturally wanted to ask more questions, and then Queen Cao listened to these words and was stopped.
Then he said: Your Majesty married Princess Fukang to Li Wei in gratitude to the Queen Mother Zhang Yi. If you do such a thing now, wouldn't it be against your original intention, and you will be sorry for the Queen Mother Zhang Yi.
After hearing what Empress Cao said, the officials severely rejected the proposal and reprimanded Concubine Miao and Yu Chongyi.
After that, the matter was settled, and Li Wei escaped with his life. "
After telling the story, Gu Tingye concluded: "Even the chamberlain sent by the royal family to serve personally could not find any fault, which shows how cautious Li Wei is in dealing with people. Ordinary methods are probably not very easy to use.
Moreover, the last time Princess Fukang made her go out and lock the palace gate at night, Tai Jian also noticed the situation of the Li family.
At that time, Taiwan's remonstrances condemned Princess Fukang for two or three months before they ceased.
This time, if Li Wei and Princess Fukang are to terminate their marriage, it will definitely alarm Tai Jian, but if there is anything wrong with the method, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome. "
Li Hao did not accept Gu Tingye's words at this time, but asked: "Didn't you say that you don't know much about Princess Fukang and Li Wei? How do you know so many things?"
Gu Tingye explained: "What I'm talking about is that I don't know much about the things in Li Wei's house, but how can I not know about the things that happened in the palace?
If you don't know this, then the few years I spent in the palace were all in vain. What you said is a bit insulting. "
At this time, Li Hao could only stay with Smiley and said, "Okay, this is all my fault, so how do you think we should deal with Li Wei?"
After Gu Tingye thought for a while, he said: "By the way, haven't you been thinking about changing the business tax law recently? Have you discussed this matter with the great ministers?"
Li Hao couldn't help but be startled when he saw Gu Tingye changing the topic on such a large scale.
Although Li Hao didn't quite understand the reason for Gu Tingye's question, he still replied: "I've already passed my Qi on Mr. Ouyang's side, so there's basically no problem.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
After the implementation of the Commercial Tax Reform Law, the main conflicts in the court will focus on this matter. After all, this matter is related to one's own vital interests.
Who will think of Li Wei and Princess Fukang at that time, and take advantage of the chaos to take care of this matter, killing two birds with one stone.
Now that the general idea was in place, Li Hao and Gu Tingye continued to add some details, then left quickly and went straight to the palace.
After all, it is not easy to promote Li Wei, so it would be best for Concubine Miao to come forward to handle it.
In the palace, Concubine Miao felt a little unwilling after hearing what Li Hao said.
He said: "Should we discuss this matter later? When Grand Prime Minister Fu Bi agrees to the business tax reform, we can then arrange for Li Wei's promotion.
Otherwise, once Grand Master Fu Bi disagrees, it will be a waste of time and it will also give Li Wei an advantage. "
After hearing Concubine Miao's concerns, Li Hao explained: "If we wait until Grand Prime Minister Fu Bi agrees to do it, the traces of this matter will be too heavy.
Only by arranging everything before that can everything go smoothly. Even if someone who is interested notices it, it will be hard to say anything. "
Seeing that Concubine Miao was still hesitant, Li Hao had no choice but to say: "If Concubine Miao is still worried, it would be better to test the attitude of Grand Master Fu Bi to see if he is willing to support the commercial tax reform."
After hearing this, Princess Miao said: "Okay, I will come here to test it out in the next two days, and then I will make a decision as soon as possible and let you know."
After roughly explaining some words, let Concubine Miao face Fu Bi so that she could talk about something practical.
Afterwards, Li Hao left the palace, returned to his mansion, and told the Wei family about Minglan's pregnancy.
When Mrs. Wei heard this, her reaction was indeed quite intense. She felt even more excited than when she first learned that Zhang Guifen was pregnant.
