Chapter 840: Forcing Him to Rebel

Deng Qian and the others all thought that Zhao Hao's idea was too simple, and when they were thinking about how to persuade Zhao Hao with euphemisms, they didn't expect a person's voice to suddenly sound outside the private room, and they also directly accused Zhao Hao's method of not working at all, and it would cause chaos in Yuezhou in less than a month, which simply didn't give Zhao Hao any face.

Sure enough, Zhao Hao's face immediately changed when he heard the words of the person outside, and his expression became a little displeased, and then he saw the door of the private room being pushed open, and then a burly young general strode in, and when he saw Zhao Hao, he just smiled calmly and said: "The last general Hu Yanqing to see His Highness!" ”

"It turns out that General Zhonghuyan has not seen him for several years, but I didn't expect to see the general here." It seems that the person who came in turned out to be Hu Yanqing, Zhao Hao immediately had some unnatural words, he and Hu Yanqing are not only old acquaintances, but also brothers-in-law, their wives are sisters, but Zhao Hao and his wife's feelings are not compatible, so that he is also extremely cold to his wife, as a result, Zhao Hao's wife couldn't afford to get sick, and finally died of illness, and later Wang Anshi's son Wang Yan died, and the wife left behind married Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao's wife's surname is Zhou, and she is also from Jiangmen, because she died too suddenly, and many people know that Zhao Hao and his wife are not in agreement, so after Zhao Hao's wife died, the Zhou family also went to Zhao Hao's house to make trouble, especially Hu Yanqing's wife and sister have the deepest relationship, and went to Zhao Hao several times to ask for an explanation, Hu Yanqing naturally had to accompany him, and later it was the Empress Dowager Gao who came forward to quell Zhao Hao's loss of his wife.

"The last general was originally with his cousin to lead troops to guard in Qiongzhou, but the situation in Yuezhou was unstable, so he first led his troops to come here to guard, and at the same time waited for His Highness's arrival, but if His Highness wanted to calm the situation in Yuezhou with the method just now, it would be a little too simple." Hu Yanqing's voice was a little cold at the moment. Because of his wife's sister, he didn't have a good impression of Zhao Hao, not to mention that he also knew Zhao Hao's ambitions in the court from Hu Yanping, if it weren't for the critical situation in Yuezhou, he wouldn't have come here to meet Zhao Hao.

"General Huyan has been in battle for a long time, so naturally he is not comparable to this king. But what does General Huyan think! Zhao Hao was also a little weak because of his first wife's affairs, so he didn't get angry in the face of Hu Yanqing's words, but asked for advice.

"Gao Jian can't talk about it, but the situation in Yuezhou has become more and more unstable, especially some local people, who have been instigated by Li Qiande, are even more unstable, if they rashly move troops, they can only add fuel to the fire and force those natives to rebel. But fortunately, when King Yue pacified here. makes his prestige among the natives extremely high, so for His Highness, the best way is to go around to publicize the relationship between you and the King of Yue, and let all the natives know the news of His Highness's arrival, so that those natives will not dare to act rashly, and then make some soothing gestures, which will definitely calm down the situation in Yuezhou. ”

When it comes to this. I saw Hu Yanqing pause for a moment and then said: "As long as the situation is stable, it will be difficult for Li Gande to do anything again." Then you can investigate his whereabouts, and it's not too late to clean him up slowly! ”

However, as soon as Hu Yanqing's words fell, he saw Zhao Hao with a gloomy face and said: "Thank you General Huyan for your suggestion, but this time to appease Yuezhou has its own king in charge, and this king has already planned in his heart, so he naturally knows how to choose this king at that time!" ”

Hu Yanqing's proposal is actually a very safe approach. It's just that the only thing that Zhao Hao can't accept, that is, to stabilize the local people's hearts, he needs to show his identity as brothers with Zhao Yan, and then use Zhao Yan's prestige to stabilize people's hearts, which is really unacceptable to Zhao Hao, who has always been envious and jealous of Zhao Yan. It is even more unlikely that he will accept Hu Yanqing's suggestion.

Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Hu Yanqing naturally knew that he couldn't listen to his advice at all, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed at the moment, but he came to Yuezhou just to prevent accidents before Zhao Hao's arrival, and now that Zhao Hao is here, there is nothing for him to do, so I saw him hugging his fists at this time and said: "Since His Royal Highness the King of Wei has arrived in Yuezhou, the last general can go back to hand over the order, and he will leave, and I hope that the King of Wei will put state affairs first!" ”

After Hu Yanqing finished speaking, he turned around and left the private room, he was not the garrison of Yuezhou, so no one could care about him, Xing Shu next to Zhao Hao wanted to stay Hu Yanqing, after all, he knew that the other party was a rare general, if he was here, even if he encountered a rebellion, he didn't have to worry, but he thought of the awkward relationship between Hu Yanqing and Zhao Hao, and as a result, he couldn't call out when he opened his mouth several times.

After Hu Yanqing made such a fuss, Zhao Hao didn't have the heart to eat any more reception, and the local officials in Yuezhou, except for Deng Xuan, other people also behaved lukewarmly to him, which made Zhao Hao very disappointed, so this banquet was also done hastily in the end, and Deng Xuan personally took them to the residence, and was busy helping to settle them.

Finally waited until the accommodation was arranged, Deng Juan was about to say goodbye at this time, but Zhao Hao left him behind, and then asked people to serve tea in the living room before he spoke: "Deng Zhizhou, this time this king came to appease Yuezhou, I don't know if Deng Zhizhou is willing to assist this king?" ”

Zhao Hao's words were already clearly solicited, and with Deng Xuan's cleverness, he naturally understood what he meant, but he saw that Deng Xuan hesitated for a moment before he smiled and said: "As the governor of Yuezhou, Xia Guan will naturally try his best to assist His Highness to calm the situation in Yuezhou, which is also the duty of Xia Guan, if Yuezhou is pacified in the future, if His Royal Highness has any dispatch, although he commands, Xia Guan will definitely take His Highness's head as the horse!" ”

Hearing that Deng Juan just said that it was his duty to assist him, but he did not clearly answer whether he was willing to agree to his solicitation, which made Zhao Hao also stunned, but listening to the meaning of the other party's words, it didn't seem to be refusing, but Zhao Hao couldn't understand what Deng Juan meant for a while. However, Xing Shu, who was sitting next to him at this time, seemed to understand, and at the moment he opened his mouth and smiled: "Deng Zhizhou rest assured, some of the crimes committed by Jiaozhi have not been taken into the eyes of His Highness at all, and His Highness's eyes are placed on a farther place." ”

"That's it, then the lower officials are waiting for the good news from His Highness and Xing Zuosi!" Deng Juan stood up and saluted as he spoke, and then said goodbye and left.

Looking at the back of Deng Huang leaving, Zhao Hao finally asked: "Xing Zuosi, what kind of dumb riddle is this Deng Juan, why can't I understand what he means?" ”

"Your Highness, this Deng Juan is really an old slippery head, he did not refuse your solicitation, but said that he would not serve His Highness until His Highness calmed down the situation here in Yuezhou, it seems that he also wants to test His Highness's ability before making plans." At this time, Xing Shu said with a smile, he is also an old fritter in the officialdom, so he naturally understands the meaning of Deng Xuan's words.

"I see." Zhao Hao also muttered thoughtfully to himself at this time.

"Your Highness, Deng Juan is a capricious villain, don't look at him so enthusiastic today, but if His Highness encounters something, I'm afraid he won't try too hard, so His Highness still shouldn't expect too much from him, so as not to make a mistake because of this!" At this time, Xing Shu spoke again, although Deng Juan was the first object they fought for, but with his understanding of Deng Juan, even if the other party temporarily took refuge, he must not fully trust him, otherwise Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing would be a lesson from their past.

"This king understands, but although Deng Yan is a villain, he also knows how to tend to be inflammatory, as long as Zhao Yan can't leave the capital, then this is our world, and Deng Huang will know how to choose." Zhao Hao also agreed at this time.

In the next few days, Zhao Hao and Xing Shu began to have some necessary understanding of Yuezhou, especially the movements of Li Qiande's people, although Li Qiande and they have been secretly active, but with the expansion of their power, they have long attracted the attention of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people of the Imperial City Division have also been mixed with Li Qiande's men, and there are also some tribes loyal to the Great Song Dynasty to provide news for the imperial court, so Deng Juan has collected a lot of information about Li Qiande.

"Deng Zhizhou, according to the information you have gathered, Li Qiande's plan is likely to secretly take control of Thang Long Mansion and then raise the flag to rebel there?" In the yamen of Yuezhou Zhizhou, Zhao Hao asked Deng Juan next to him while looking at the information collected in his hand.

"Your Royal Highness is wise, Li Qiande is indeed likely to plan like this, firstly, he is the prince of Cochin, and he has a different kind of feelings for Thang Long Mansion, and secondly, if he can occupy Thang Long Mansion in one fell swoop, he can re-raise the banner of Cochin, speaking of which although Cochin is destroyed, but some local tribes still remember Cochin, if Li Qiande really occupies Thang Long Mansion, it is likely to make these tribes biased towards him, so no matter what aspect he looks at, Li Gande will not give up Thang Long Mansion." Deng Juan also opened his mouth to analyze.

"That's easy to do, I brought 3,000 forbidden troops this time, and there are 20,000 garrisons stationed in Yuezhou, in addition to leaving some troops to garrison the place, we can also mobilize 10,000 people, so that we have an army of 13,000 people, in this case, this king will personally lead this army to Shenglong Mansion to sit in town, I think how Li Qiande will rebel?" Zhao Hao said with great ambition at this time.

"Your Highness, if you lead a large army to Shenglong Mansion now, will this irritate Li Qiande and make him immediately rebel?" At this time, Xing Shu said with some hesitation, he was a civil official and was not very familiar with martial affairs, but Zhao Hao's decision still made him feel a little reckless, after all, Li Gande was just preparing to rebel now, but it was not to the point where he had to rebel.

"Haha, this king hopes that Li Gande can raise troops to rebel, so as to give this king the opportunity to lead the army to quell the rebellion!" Zhao Hao said again with an excited face at this time, he has also figured out in the past few days, how can the credit of pacifying the place not be as great as the credit of counterinsurgency, since Li Qiande has a rebellious heart, then simply force him to rebel!
