If it weren't for the fact that he and Yuan Shen had gotten along with each other over the years and still had some kind of brotherly love, Li Hao really didn't want to deal with these troublesome things.
It's just that Li Hao didn't go directly to Wanfu to ask for it. Although he could directly achieve his goal, Li Hao wanted to try to help the prince to get a job.
After all, this guy did not have any personal contact with Qu Lengjun, so Li Hao also planned to help him.
It seems that Emperor Wen really understood his son's abilities. Although the current prince was assigned the power to participate in politics, he basically stayed in the capital to deal with trivial matters.
Looking back at the third prince, this guy was highly valued after he came to power. He was even asked to carry out major policies such as the Dutian Order, which was popular all over the world. He was asked to go to the state capital to deal with officials and dispatch troops. The difference was too obvious.
It just so happened that Emperor Wen was going to patrol the west this time to test Shu's reaction, so he could use the prince's name to get the map of Shu from Wan Songbai to see if he could be included in the team.
Of course, this possibility is not high. After all, the prince is now old. It is not good for both father and son to leave the capital and let Queen Xuan supervise the country again.
Although Empress Xuan had done it before, it was when the prince was unable to take charge of the affairs, so it would be inappropriate to do it now.
But as long as he can leave an impression in Emperor Wen's mind, he may not be able to express himself if there is another suitable opportunity in the future.
However, I am afraid that the Crown Prince had to take the initiative on his own to have a slight chance in this matter. If it were Li Hao alone, the strength of his persuasion would be slightly insufficient.
Although Li Hao boasted that his abilities were better than those of Wang Chun and Lou Jing, this prince was not a person who knew others well and was responsible for their duties.
In his mind, Lou Jing and Wang Chun, teachers and relatives, had a much stronger status than Li Hao.
Among the two people, Li Hao had little friendship with the Crown Prince and Tutor Lou Jing, so the main one he was fighting for was naturally Wang Chun, an old acquaintance.
As for Wang Jiao's matter, it is a trivial matter. With Wang Chun's character, he would not cut off contact with Li Hao for this.
So before going to the East Palace, Li Hao took the initiative to send a letter and asked Wang Chun to come to the Yuan Mansion to talk. After all, the Wang family had Wen Xiujun, and Li Hao didn't want to see the ultimate brother-supporting demon.
The fact was just as Li Hao thought. Wang Chun rushed to Yuan Mansion quickly after receiving Li Hao's letter.
After meeting, Wang Chun's first sentence was to thank Li Hao: "Zi Yang, I have to thank you for what happened at the Ruyang Prince's Mansion that day. If you hadn't taken action, Ah Yu would have been in big trouble that day. "
Li Hao heard this and replied: "General Wang, please don't say this. I wish you didn't blame me for this."
After explaining the matter in two sentences, Li Hao took Wang Chun into the main hall, sat down and talked slowly.
So Li Hao mentioned the matter of asking the prince to accompany his majesty on the western tour. After hearing this, Wang Chun asked the reason: "Why do you want the prince to accompany your majesty on the western tour this time? What is your purpose?"
Li Hao replied: "His Royal Highness has a reputation for benevolence in the world, but his military reputation is not obvious. This time His Majesty visits the west, I am afraid that there will be people with ulterior motives who will launch military campaigns.
And judging from the current situation, the scale of this war will not be very large. If the prince can intervene in it, it will be beneficial. "
After hearing this, Wang Chun looked at Li Hao meaningfully. Although Wang Chun was not a very capable person, he had been able to serve as an official, a chariot and a general, for so long, and he still had some ability to understand what was said.
Since Li Hao said this, he obviously wanted to take action himself. After all, he knew his own background and was not the material to lead troops in war at all.
If the prince succeeds in getting the opportunity this time, he will have to fight under the nose of Emperor Wen, and he still needs to have some real ability.
However, Wang Chun was not satisfied with this. Compared with Li Hao's power alone, what he wanted more was the support of the Yuan family, so he asked: "The prince can have his son to help him, so naturally he can deal with this small situation." It’s a piece of cake, but I don’t know if this generation represents the Yuan family’s intentions?”
Li Hao smiled and said, "General Wang is joking, how can I be the leader of the Yuan family? I just do my job well. Only when my job is done can we talk about the follow-up, right?"
Then they talked
The topic was diverted. After all, it was not yet time for the Yuan family to show off their cards, so let’s observe the situation first.
After Wang Chun understood what Li Hao meant, he didn't bother any more and agreed to take the initiative to persuade the prince. After all, if this was successful, the prince's status would be more stable, which would also be good for himself.
After negotiating with Wang Chun, Li Hao rushed to the East Palace and reported to the prince: "I heard that your majesty is about to patrol the west, and he is now looking for a map of the territory of Shu. I happen to know where this map is, and I can get it for the prince. Come.
The prince can take this opportunity to propose to his majesty that he should accompany his majesty on a westward tour to learn how to stabilize the country. "
The prince heard this and asked in confusion: "It's okay to take the map, but why should I accompany my father around and stay alone in the capital to handle state affairs? Isn't it the same thing?"
Then Li Hao analyzed the current situation for the prince and discussed with him the benefits of this trip. Finally, the prince said: "Well, let me think about it again and think about it again."
This reaction was not what Li Hao expected. It would depend on Wang Chun's methods later, and Li Hao planned to get the map of Sichuan first.
However, Li Hao did not go directly to Wan Songbai, but to Cheng Shide's Qulinghou Mansion. After all, it was better to get the plot directly from the money-hungry Wan Songbai.
It would be much easier for Cheng Shi and his wife, who had more trust in themselves and were more rational, to ask them to come forward and ask for it.
According to the information Li Hao inquired about, Cheng Shaoshang was still staying in the mansion and did not go to Wanfu.
That would be a good way to resolve the matter as soon as possible. If Cheng Shaoshang goes to Wanfu again, he won't run into Ling Buyi.
When Li Hao arrived at Cheng Mansion and told Xiao Yuanyi and Cheng Shiyi about the matter, the two people looked at each other and agreed immediately.
Because they know that neither their own family nor the Wan family has a solid foundation. They can take possession of ordinary gold, pearls, jade, and even weapons and bronzes, but they must not keep the Quan Xi and Kan Map.
But he still asked: "Master Yuan, do you think Shuzhong will really rebel?"
Li Hao replied: "Not long after the peace in Shu, some people will inevitably have delusions, but as long as we prepare early, we probably won't be able to cause any trouble, just in case."
Regarding Li Hao's explanation, the two of them could accept it. It was said that both Li Hao and Cheng Shi were involved in the Battle of Shuzhong, and they knew more or less about the situation.
After that, Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi rushed to Wanfu together with Li Hao, and happened to bump into Ling Buyi, who was also planning a plot in Wanfu, so they sat down together.
[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.
I forgot about it. You and my wife quickly accompany me to look for it. "
After saying that, he apologized to Li Hao and Ling Buyi, and the three of them walked into the inner courtyard together.
Ling Buyi, who was sitting in the hall, asked Li Hao: "Brother Ziyang came today to get the map of Shu. Does His Highness really know it?"
Li Hao replied: "That's natural. I don't dare to lie to Zicheng. Why don't you ask His Highness the Crown Prince when you return to the palace."
"That's not necessary. I naturally believe what Brother Ziyang said. It's just a little strange that the prince suddenly became so active.
It seems that Brother Ziyang's entry into the East Palace is indeed a good thing for the prince. " Ling Busuo said calmly.
Li Hao replied: "Zicheng's words are false to me. Although the prince is not decisive in dealing with things, he has a strong heart for the country and the people. I am only helping him.
But since Zicheng arrived first today, after General Hui Wan brings the map, Zicheng should bring it back. "
Ling Buyi shook his head when he heard this and said, "No, since everything is dedicated to His Majesty, let's let the prince come, so that Your Majesty can be happy."
At this time, Ling Buyi was not completely disappointed with the prince, and this map did not involve his revenge, so he was willing to give the opportunity to the prince.
Naturally, Li Hao would not refuse. After all, this was not a private matter. He said immediately: "In that case, I will thank you on behalf of His Highness. I will tell His Highness the whole story when I get back."
Ling Buyi smiled and nodded, and the two of them didn't speak anymore, waiting quietly for Wan Songbai and the others to come back.
On the other hand, after Wang Songbai learned what happened from Cheng Shi, he knew that he had almost made a big mistake, and naturally he did not dare to keep the map of Shu.
But another problem arises. Now that both of them are trying to get the map, who should they give it to after the map is taken out? Whether it is Ling Buyi or the prince, they are the people they don't want to offend.
In the end, Cheng Shi made the decision and said, "Let them decide this matter themselves. Ling Buyi and Yuan Ang are both smart and wise people. In this case, I guess they have already made up their minds.
Anyway, Brother Wan and I will go back later, and Yuan Yi and I will go back first to explore Yuan Ang's tone. After confirming, you can go in to avoid embarrassment. "
Wan Songbai agreed upon hearing this, and then the three of them went to Mrs. Wan Lao's place together. After explaining the situation, they got the Kan map.
After returning, according to what was originally said, Wan Songbai stayed outside the courtyard, while Xiao Yuanyi and Cheng Shi went in first.
Facing the confused looks from Li Hao and Ling Buji, Cheng Shi took the initiative and said, "We have just found the Kanyu map, but while searching, Brother Wan got his clothes dirty and needs to wash them before coming back."
When Li Hao and Ling Buyi saw that only two of them had returned, they roughly guessed Wan Songbai's concerns, so they simply said without waiting for a test: "It's good to find them. Finally, I have lived up to the prince's expectations. You can go back." Delivered."
When Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi heard this and saw that Ling Buyi had no reaction, they immediately understood who to hand over the map of Kanyu.
So Cheng Shi pretended to cough a few times unintentionally, and Wan Songbai, who was waiting outside, rushed in and handed the Kantu map to Li Hao under Cheng Shi's guidance.
After getting what they wanted, Li Hao and Ling Buyi did not stay here any longer. They stood up and said goodbye to Wan Songbai.
Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi did not leave, saying that they had some things to discuss, but Li Hao and Li Hao did not take it seriously.
But if the two of them really knew the purpose of their stay, Li Hao might be okay, but Ling Buyi would probably be shocked.
Because these two people went to Mrs. Wan to complain, Wan Songbai was pressed down and beaten by Mrs. Wan in the end, so that he could remember what he could and could not keep.
Li Hao returned to the East Palace. Before Li Hao came back, Wang Chun had already come over, discussed the accompanying matters with the prince, and finally convinced the prince.
Afterwards, Li Hao handed the map of Kanyu to the prince and told him what happened in Wanfu.
Of course, regarding Wan Songbai’s previous pushback
Li Hao didn't mention Ling Buyi's matter, but said that after the Wan family learned the news, they actively cooperated and rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find this worthy map.
After hearing this, the prince first expressed his gratitude to Wan Songbai for his loyalty, and then said that this matter was unfair to Ling Buyi.
Then Li Hao advised: "Brother Zicheng also wants to help His Highness the Crown Prince. After all, you both grew up together in the palace. Didn't you rescue him from the water back then? So it doesn't matter who sends him off." of.
As long as His Majesty is in front of His Majesty, His Majesty the Crown Prince will tell you the truth. I think Your Majesty will be happier knowing that you two have such a deep relationship. "
The prince thought about it and felt that what Li Hao said was right, so he did not refute it. Instead, he went to see Emperor Wen with the Kanyu map to get the opportunity to accompany him.
Perhaps he was gratified that the prince took the initiative to fight for it for the first time. In addition, Emperor Wen didn't think there would be any great danger along the way. Emperor Wen thought again and agreed to the prince's request.
For this reason, Emperor Wen also called Li Hao to praise Li Hao. After all, not long after Li Hao entered the East Palace, the prince changed. Emperor Wen attributed this credit to Li Hao.
Naturally, as the crown prince commanding the East Palace Guards, Li Hao was also named to lead the East Palace Guards to escort him. The responsibility of supervising the country fell on Queen Xuan again.
