Chapter 1192 Hao Zhao’s Talent

As the two chamberlains turned and left, Huangfuli was really panicked. He had come to invite the battle this time. When the four of them were chatting together, Hao Zhao said in private that the king must be prepared. When the war started, the other three people didn't believe it, but Hao Zhao analyzed it carefully with everyone.

First, the king has been inspecting counties and counties this year. Although there seems to be nothing wrong with his performance, there is something unusual. The king's speed when inspecting Hebei was not very fast, but the speed when inspecting the newly-attached areas of Henan and Yanzhou was very fast. But it's obviously much faster. According to common sense, Hebei was the earliest territory of the Tang State, and both the people's support and defense were relatively secure. However, in the newly annexed areas of Henan and Yanzhou, the situation in all aspects was unstable. However, the time of the king's inspection was exactly the opposite. The time in Hebei was almost the same as that in Yu and Chongzhou.

Secondly, after the king returned to Luoyang, he immediately summoned the Sangong, Jiuqing and the ministers of Shangshutai to discuss the matter. Even the guard general Huang Zhong who was far away in Yuzhou returned to Luoyang. This shows that what they discussed was not an ordinary matter.

The third is that wars are now taking place in the northwest and Bingzhou. In the Guanzhong area, Ma Teng has invited himself to be the king of Liang, and the troops of Han Sui and his family are showing obvious signs of marching eastward. In Bingzhou, the army of King Zhao returned to the Yinshan Mountains. Those from the south did not return to Taiyuan immediately, but stopped in Yunzhong County. Therefore, Hao Zhao speculated that King Zhao wanted to take action against Wuyuan and Shuofang County, and these two counties were originally allies of the king. If they If you ask for help, your Majesty will definitely send troops to rescue you.

Combined with the series of changes in the army after the discussion, Hao Zhao could naturally deduce that the king was about to raise troops to go on an expedition, but where exactly the troops were pointing was not something Hao Zhao could guess.

Hao Zhao's analysis made the other three people suddenly enlightened, and Huangfuli was even more moved. A few years ago, his brother Huangfuyi went to war with the army together with a group of young people, and achieved great success. Later, several of them were arranged by his uncle to stay in Yanbei County. As an official, now that Huangfuli has come of age, he just has this opportunity, so he wants to go to the palace to ask his uncle, hoping to go out with the army together.

However, Hao Zhao persuaded Huangfuli that he should not go to the palace to ask for help, but that it would be better to ask Zongzheng and Huangfu Jianshou to come forward to ask for help, but Huangfuli was unwilling. If it was his father, there would be no problem, but the uncle If so, out of concern for protecting myself, I probably won't agree. It would be better to ask my uncle directly. Wouldn't it be better to do so? And he also vowed that he would ask for his uncle's consent and take the three of them with him.

Now that Huangfu Chaobo was furious, Huangfu Li was panicked and hurriedly kowtowed: "Uncle, please calm down. Although Bo Dao mentioned this while chatting with us, it is my nephew who wants to come to ask my uncle." Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with those three people! Just ask your uncle to punish me, and don’t vent your anger on those three people.”

"Are you finally willing to admit it? Then tell me exactly what happened!" Huangfu Chaobo said coldly;

Huangfu Chaobo's sudden rage shocked Huangfu Zhao and Huangfu Yu who were in the garden. The two children were now four and a half years old. When they saw their father, they were furious, and Wang Xiong knelt down beside them and kept silent. As they said something, the two children stopped playing around and returned to the pavilion from the garden. Master Huangfu Zhaoxiao stood beside Huangfu Chaobo without saying a word, but Huangfu Yu didn't have much scruples. He climbed directly onto Huangfu Chaobo's knees, touched Huangfu Chaobo's beard, and said in a sweet voice: "Brother Li is not good and makes father angry..."

In fact, Huangfu Chaobo was not really angry, but wanted to test his nephew and find out who encouraged him to come to fight. Now that his son and daughter were here, he took the opportunity to change his expression and saluted Huangfu: "Speak, don't hide anything!"

Upon seeing this, Huangfuli immediately told Huangfu Chaobo exactly what happened. By the time he finished speaking, Huangfu Jianshou had already hurried to the palace under the guidance of the chamberlain. Along the way, he had already learned the reason for the matter from the chamberlain. It was the same as Huangfu Chaobo's original idea.

He also felt that his nephew should have been deceived by others.

Hurrying into the pavilion, Huangfu Jianshou saluted Huangfu Chaobo and others and said: "Welcome to the king! Meet the prince! Meet the eldest princess!"

"Brother Wang, there is no need to be polite, just sit aside and wait until the other boys are brought over!" Huangfu Chaobo waved his hand and said; while Huangfu Zhao, like a young adult, first received Huangfu Jianshou's gift, and then gave him He returned the gesture.

When Huangfu Jianshou was about to speak, Huangfu Chaobo stopped him with his hand and asked him to listen to Huangfu Li continue to tell the whole story. Although he only heard the ending, Huangfu Jianshou also vaguely heard some clues. He knew that Huangfu Li was fine, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Huangfu Li was now leading troops away, and only his wife and children remained in Luoyang. If something really went wrong with Huangfuli, it would be embarrassing for him as the elder brother.

At this moment, the chamberlain reported that Huang Wudie had personally brought the three young generals, and they were waiting outside the palace. Huangfu Chaobo ordered them to come into the palace.

After a while, Huang Diewu led the three people outside the small pavilion. They walked up to Huangfu Chaobo and said, "Kowtow to the king!"

Huangfu Chaobo nodded and motioned for a few people to stand up. A few of them thanked him again, and then turned to look at Huangfu Zhao: "Meet the Crown Prince!"

Then he saluted Huangfu Yu who was being held by Huangfu Chaobo: "Greetings to the eldest princess!"

After everyone stood aside, Huangfu Chaobo said, "Do you know your guilt?"

Hao Zhao saw this and immediately knelt down to plead guilty, saying, "I am ignorant and made irresponsible comments on state affairs. Please punish me, it has nothing to do with the three of them. Please be clear!"

The other two also knelt down to plead guilty.

Seeing this, Huangfu Li quickly stood up and said, "Uncle King, the request for war has nothing to do with the three of them. If you want to punish me, please punish me alone. Please let the three of them go!"

"Your Majesty..." The three of them were anxious and rushed to speak; but Huangfu Chaobo waved his hand to stop them.

"Hao Zhao!"

"I'm here!" Hao Zhao responded quickly;

"Tell me the reason for the incident in detail!"

"Yes!"

Then, Hao Zhao told Huangfu Chaobo his speculation in detail again. At the end, he bowed to Huangfu Chaobo and said, "I am ignorant and made irresponsible comments on state affairs. Please punish me, my majesty!"

The other two also spoke up, "I was also involved. Please punish me, my majesty!"
