After Ren Xin left, Chen Xi walked to Li Hao and asked, "Your Highness just let her go."
"Otherwise, how about keeping her for tomorrow's breakfast? That's too polite."
Chen Xi was obviously not interested in Li Hao's joke. He scratched his head and continued, "Your Highness, she is Ren Xin. You really believe in her promise."
Li Hao looked at him like that and smiled: "Relax, don't worry about me. What are you worried about? You have been busy all night. Go back and rest early."
After saying that, Li Hao was about to leave, but in the middle he saw Chen Xi's hesitant expression. He couldn't help but stop and asked, "Why aren't you leaving? What are you thinking about?"
But Chen Xi was hesitant, which made Li Hao a little impatient and said, "Just tell me what I'm asking you quickly?"
Chen Xi made some mental preparations before saying, "Although Ren Xin is beautiful, there are not many people in the capital who can compare with her.
And isn't the Queen already looking for a Crown Princess for you? You might as well mention it. After all, Ren Xin is still too dangerous. "
Li Hao looked at Chen Xi speechlessly: "In your eyes, the reason why I let her go is because of lust."
Of course Chen Xi did not dare to agree to this, but his eyes clearly revealed his thoughts.
Although there was no need to explain to Chen Xi, Li Hao couldn't help but said after looking at his weird look: "What Gu values is not her appearance, but her ability. She has served in Zhu Yiwei for many years, and has Que sat on the left envoy's seat all the way.
If we can get her to come over, many things in Anguo will be much easier to handle in the future. "
When talking about his marriage, Li Hao suddenly remembered his agreement with Zhang Han.
Because of the assassination of Ren Xin, Li Hao stayed in the palace for several days. I don't know if Zhang Han sent a message.
Then he asked, "By the way, you can go and ask tomorrow if anyone from the Zhang family who has served as the censor has sent a message to the mansion in the past few days."
When Chen Xi heard this, he thought wrongly. He thought to himself, "You still don't admit that you are in love with her." She nodded silently and left the room.
After waking up the next day, Li Hao remembered something through Ren Xin, because according to the opening scene on TV, the war between Anwu and Anwu occurred in the sixth year of Yongyou.
The reign name Yongyou does not appear now, but according to what Ren Xin said in the play, she has only been a left envoy for a year and a half, and she has just taken over.
According to the algorithm of new monarchs ascending the throne and changing Yuan Dynasties, Emperor Wu Yang Xingyuan should have just ascended the throne for six years at that time.
According to the information returned by Jin Yiwei and the marquis, the current Emperor Wu, Yang Xingyuan's father, is now bedridden and will not go to court for a long time. It may be difficult for him to survive this year.
As for An Emperor Li Shuan, because the Queen knew about his collusion with Beipan, he wanted to kneel down at the Ancestral Temple and cause harm, five years before the war took place.
Therefore, comparing the two, at this time, Andi Li Shun should already be doing business with Beipan.
If you think so, then there can be an explanation for Emperor An's provocation against Su State this time, that is, after he got the horse, he felt that his strength had greatly increased, and he wanted to come to Su State to take advantage.
At the same time, if there is this big victory, he can also strengthen his prestige to a certain extent and reduce the impact of colluding with Beipan.
So after meeting Chen Xi, I immediately asked Chen Xi: "I asked the Jin Yiwei to keep an eye on the situation in Sha Dongfang and Beipan. Have they reported any news recently?"
Chen Xi originally wanted to reply. Li Hao asked about Zhang Han yesterday, but now that Li Hao was questioning him, he could only reply: "Yes, but it is just some daily news, nothing special."
Although Chen Xi said this, Li Hao did not intend to let it go. After all, some information can lead to different perceptions from different angles.
Then he said, "Bring me the news about Shadong and Beipan in the past year. I want to take a look."
Chen Xi agreed, then rushed to a secret room in the East Palace and brought the information.
After some inspection, Li Hao noticed two things. First, the Beipan people gathered a group of war horses in the direction of Tianmen Pass last month.
Subsequently, no fighting broke out at Tianmen Pass, so Jinyiwei's caravan in the grassland was regarded as an internal transfer and did not pay attention to it.
After all, Zhongyuan and Beipan have been at odds for generations. Although private transactions continue, the scale is generally very small, and there are almost no official transactions on the surface. It is normal that they did not expect it.
But speaking of it, in Li Hao's view, this is really strange. It is true that Beipan and Zhongyuan are fighting against each other, but what does this have to do with the mutual trade between the two sides?
From the original history of China, such as the Han Dynasty and the Huns, the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Turks, the Song Dynasty and the Liao and Jin Dynasties, it was common for the Central Plains countries to exchange their rich food, silk, and tea for needed war horses.
And this does not affect the Central Plains countries to turn around and launch attacks on the grassland after becoming strong, except for the Song Dynasty.
Unless Emperor An and Li Xun made any other agreements that were humiliating and humiliating the country, Li Hao could only make a final conclusion based on cultural differences.
Second, in the eastern part of Shadong, their two young masters recently had conflicts with other tribes in order to rob a horse farm, and they used swords and guns for this purpose.
However, this kind of thing happens often in Anguo, and it is a matter that the people do not raise officials to investigate, so Jin Yiwei does not pay much attention to it.
But Li Hao understood that the occurrence of these two incidents meant that the conflict between the Anguo emperor and the empress was about to break out.
Then he asked: "I asked Jin Yiwei to find a way to place people in Anguo Palace. How is the progress? Is there anyone with the queen?"
Chen Xi thought for a while and replied: "Jinyiwei's own manpower only has five people who came out of the free school before and changed their identities to become palace maids, but their status is not high.
In addition, he bribed a dozen palace maids and guards to find out information, but they were not important people and there were no people around the queen. "
Li Hao was prepared to save the queen. After all, with her status, she should be of some use when attacking Anguo in the future.
And with her in hand, he is not afraid that Ren Xin will not be obedient. This is why Li Hao said before Ren Xin left that his identity would change when they met again.
It's just that it's not an easy task to place people in a country's imperial palace, especially since Li Hao has only been in charge for a short time.
Therefore, Li Hao could only try his best to use the resources at hand and said: "Send a message to Andu to ask them to speed up the infiltration, and also find a way to transfer our people to Yaoyue Tower to work.
It's not an important place, so it shouldn't be difficult to do. After entering, let people find out all the conditions there and send back the topographic map. "
Chen Xi was very surprised by Li Hao's decision and couldn't help asking about the reason.
It's just that it's really hard for Li Hao to explain to him. He can't say that he knows where Queen Anguo will be burned to death soon.
Fortunately, Li Hao is the superior, so when you don't want to explain, you don't have to talk nonsense to him, just let him execute it.
But Sudu is thousands of miles away from Andu, and even if flying pigeons are used to deliver the message, it will take two days to arrive.
Therefore, Li Hao is also worried that the situation will change and he will not be able to respond. It is best to find a way to give him the opportunity to go to Andu in person.
But in Sudu, there were too many people staring at Li Hao, and Cui Ming and Wang Yi were also there, so it was impossible for Li Hao to leave for such a long time.
He still had to find a chance to go out, so that Li Hao could have room to operate outside.
But that’s all for later, after all, it’s hard to find a suitable excuse.
After getting down to business, Li Hao remembered Zhang Han and asked again: "By the way, did you ask what I asked you to ask yesterday?"
Chen Xi consciously understood Li Hao, and was obviously more positive about this matter, and immediately replied: "I have already inquired, and no one from the Zhang family of the imperial censor has come to visit recently. Miss Zhang should have agreed to this matter." .”
Li Hao ignored Chen Xi's words. After all, Li Hao didn't know Zhang Han's thoughts. He didn't know whether she didn't come over because she knew that she was assassinated and had been in the palace, or because she acquiesced.
Li Hao did not want to drag his feet on this matter. After all, although he was not anxious about the marriage, he could not delay others.
Then he said to Chen Xi: "
I will write a letter later, and you can find someone to deliver it to Zhang Han personally, but remember not to let outsiders know that it was Gu who wrote the letter to her. "
Li Hao didn't write much in the letter and asked her about her thoughts quite directly.
After Chen Xi received the letter, he quickly sent someone to deliver it.
Zhang Han's reply to Li Hao was equally concise, expressing his willingness in just a few words.
With the answer, Li Hao didn't pursue the reason anymore. In a feudal society, Li Hao didn't want to engage in free love anyway.
So Li Hao went to the palace and informed Wang Yi so that she could start preparations.
Wang Yi was very happy about this and immediately went to Cui Ming to discuss it, but now the war between Ansu and Su was approaching.
Although Cui Ming was not too nervous, he had no intention of focusing on it, so he left all the power to Wang Yi.
Anyway, the etiquette that the prince must follow when getting married is extremely complicated, and it will take at least more than a year and a half to complete it. By then, the war between the two countries will be over, and he will naturally have time by then.
But just when Wang Yi was doing things happily, something went wrong again on Li Hao's side.
Because in the face of the note sent by Su Guo to An Guo, Emperor An not only showed no regrets, but also accelerated the mobilization of troops and horses, and made a slogan of personally conquering the country.
Emperor An had always liked this trick, but Su Guo was not interested in it because of what happened to the deposed prince.
In addition, Cui Ming is not an immediate hero, and has no interest in his personal conquest.
Anguo's vanguard troops quickly passed Ziyang Pass and entered Lingzhou to confront the troops led by Yongchang Marquis. Reinforcements were also arriving one after another.
Upon seeing this, Cui Ming once again sent more troops to the border, and at the same time dispatched Wang Kun to go to Hezhou personally to take charge of the supply of food and grass to the frontline army.
As a result, An Guo's credentials arrived at this time, and Emperor An seized on Cui Ming's lack of movement in the capital for many years, and insulted Cui Ming inside, saying that he was timid and cowardly.
And at the end, he invited him to hunt in Jizhou, and laughed at him that most of the time he would not dare to go, and would only dare to hide in the capital in despair.
After listening to An Guo's envoy reading his credentials in the court, the entire court was filled with anger. If it hadn't been for the tradition of not killing the envoy when the two armies were fighting, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to leave the palace.
It's just that anger is anger, but Cui Ming also knows his ability. Instead of going to the front line himself, it is better to hand it over to the commander of the army.
But when faced with Emperor An's provocation, he always had to reply.
Li Hao had always wanted to leave the capital before, but this time he seized the opportunity and stood up immediately, asking for orders: "My father is busy with many things, so naturally he has no time to go and personally lead the war.
However, my son was willing to share his father's worries and went to Hezhou with Wang Shangshu to participate in supervising the grain and grass affairs. "
Cui Ming didn't expect that Li Hao would take the initiative to ask for help at this time, and was a little stunned for a moment.
The court officials below responded, but neither the centrists nor those who had already taken sides understood Li Hao's thoughts at this time, and did not know whether to stand up to support or oppose.
Therefore, the court, which was lively just now, suddenly fell into silence.
In the end, Wang Kun stood up and said that the prince was the foundation of the country and should not be tampered with. It was better to wait and discuss it later.
Cui Ming also meant the same thing, so he skipped this topic and discussed other things.
After the dynasty was dismissed, Cui Ming called Li Hao to the harem and asked Li Hao what he was thinking: "Why do you suddenly think of going to Hezhou?"
Li Hao replied: "I also want to contribute to the country, but my ability is limited and I can only do some auxiliary work.
Moreover, Emperor An is going on a personal expedition. My father wants to sit in the court and not be too frivolous. When I go to Hezhou, I can show the soldiers that our Dasu royal family is with them, and inspire the soldiers to fight to the death to kill the enemy.
Moreover, the son is a prince, so he can represent his father, and at the same time he is lower than Emperor An. Even if he supervises the transportation of grain and grass in the rear, he can still stop Emperor An from looking down on me, Dashu. "
Cui Ming also understood that this was feasible, but he was still a little worried about Li Hao's safety and said: "Although Hezhou is in the rear, it is also very close to the battlefield.
Moreover, as an important place for the transportation of food and grass for the army, Anguo would have taken action.
In addition, when you are here, Anguo will definitely pay more attention to it. This is no joke. "
Li Hao said: "The great affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, even though my son is young, he also understands this truth.
However, as the prince, since my son enjoys this honor and honor, he should bear the responsibility. Moreover, his uncle's literary skills and martial arts are first-class. With my son by his side, I don't think there will be any danger.
In addition, the ministers in the court have their own factions. Even if the uncle is around, he may not be able to do things with full dedication. But if there are sons and ministers around, I think they can stop being negligent and work together to serve the country. "
Cui Ming is still a little hesitant about this, but from his perspective, this is indeed the best method at present, and he still has trust in Li Hao's political ability.
Then he said: "It's no use just agreeing to this matter. If your mother knew that I asked you to go to Hezhou, I'm afraid she would have to make a huge quarrel with me.
If you really want to go, then go and convince your mother, and I will agree to it then. "
With Cui Ming's words, Li Hao passed the biggest hurdle.
Li Hao did not go directly to Wang Yina, but found Wang Kun first, intending to defeat him first.
In fact, this is indeed easier. After all, compared to Wang Yi's sensibility, Wang Kun is much more rational.
After listening to Li Hao's statement about the powerful relationship, he already agreed in his heart, because as long as this war takes place, the country of Su will not be completely defeated.
With his performance, Li Hao will immediately establish prestige in the military and his position will be more stable.
Coupled with Li Hao's provocation method, it is not possible that he is not confident in his own abilities and thinks that he cannot protect himself.
Wang Kun immediately changed his tune and agreed to follow Li Hao to persuade Wang Yi.
