Once upon a time, how prosperous Li Xu was in Kyoto?
He was appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs and was in charge of the world's financial affairs. Behind him, he had Taiwei Gao and the second prince as his backers.
Not to mention the civil and military ministers of the DPRK, even Emperor Liang regarded Li Xu as a subordinate minister and asked Li Xu for his advice on all matters in government.
Looking back into the past.
Ever since Qin Feng "stumbled and fell into the water" and Bing lost his mind, the wind in Kyoto has gradually changed.
First, Qin Feng relied on his clever skills to gain the attention of Emperor Liang.
The almost perverted money-making technique gradually replaced Li Xu's importance.
So much so that now, Emperor Liang could only see Qin Feng's child.
Today in the court, how could Li Xu not feel the disdain and contempt in Emperor Liang's eyes?
The cunning rabbit dies and is cooked by running dogs, and the flying birds use up all their good bows.
Even Captain Gao would be hated for eternity if he made a mistake, let alone Li Xu?
Li Xu's mood became more and more depressed, especially when he saw Qin Feng's swagger, he became even more depressed. Under the infinite scenery, there was only chicken feathers everywhere!
Li Xu had a vague premonition that his career might be coming to an end.
When Gao Ming fell, the Hubu faction lost its backer and its strength was greatly reduced.
Qin Tianhu had not had any dispute with Li Xu in the court for ten consecutive days.
It wasn't that they settled their differences and made peace with each other, but that Qin Tianhu no longer took Li Xu seriously.
After leaving the Forbidden Palace and returning to his home, Li Xu did not take a carriage, but walked side by side with Qin Feng, with his hands behind his back and no expression on his face.
After walking for a long time, Li Xu glanced at Qin Feng from the corner of his eye.
As long as he enters the house, this guy will use chicken feathers as arrows, and he will definitely turn the house upside down.
Even if it is a trivial matter, it will inevitably make a big fuss and blow in the ears of Emperor Liang.
In Li Xu's current situation, even the most insignificant flaws will be infinitely magnified and turned into unforgivable misdeeds.
Why!
Li Xuchang sighed. He couldn't figure out how he could end up in such a situation.
At this moment, Qin Feng's heartless voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Master Li, you are also an old man in Kyoto. You must be very familiar with officials at all levels in the capital. My nephew dares to ask, what does Master Li think of Lin Taibao?"
Nephew? !
Qin Feng actually calls himself his nephew?
Li Xu was caught off guard and secretly wondered, could this guy be deliberately mocking him? But Qin Feng's tone was not ridiculing at all, but rather sincere.
Li Xu really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Qin Feng's gourd was selling, so he stopped worrying and blurted out: "Lin Taibao is a very popular minister, but he always behaves in a low-key manner. He is also cautious in his words and deeds. He is never in court." He made enemies, was trusted by saints, and respected by high officials in the court.”
Hearing Li Xu's evaluation of Lin Taibao, Qin Feng turned his head and blinked: "Master Li, do you believe this?"
"The two of us, uncle and nephew, have been fighting wits and courage until now, and we know everything about them. There are no outsiders around here, how about we dig into our hearts for the first time?"
If it had been left in the past, Li Xu would have thrown away his sleeves and left, not even bothering to waste time with Qin Feng.
But today, Qin Feng is no longer the former Wu Xia Amen.
Li Xu hesitated again and again, but sighed and said in a deep voice: "Since the fierce party disputes in the court around the National War, Lin Taibao has been bedridden on the grounds of physical discomfort and has not attended the court meeting for several months. And the saint But he doesn’t care about it, even the saints do this, let alone the civil and military ministers?”
Although Li Xu's words were relatively restrained, his meaning was already clear.
Even the saints were afraid of Lin Taibao and did not dare to find fault with him easily. The ministers in the court could only use "admiration" as an excuse to act in fear and surrender.
Although the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War had different political views, they were not political parties with Lin Taibao, so there was no need to speak for Lin Taibao.
After learning about Li Xu's attitude towards Lin Tianbao, Qin Feng changed the subject and asked: "Master Li, does he know why Captain Gao ended up in the situation he is in today?"
Hearing this, Li Xu couldn't help but snorted and sneered: "Qin Feng, you do have some tricks, but it's ridiculous to want to be a teacher in front of me. No matter how miserable I am, I will never kowtow to you!"
Seeing Li Xu's face full of unwillingness, even angry.
Qin Feng simply bowed and saluted Li Xu: "Master Li taught me that my nephew does not understand etiquette and deserves to be scolded. Please give me some advice, Master Li."
Qin Feng actually kept his posture so low.
Li Xu couldn't believe his eyes. Is this still the same dude who shows off all day long?
Considering Qin Feng's temperament, Li Xu became more and more vigilant, fearing that Qin Feng would dig a big hole for himself, and immediately shouted coldly: "Gao Ming made Pingyao County miserable for the people, and what happened today is just his own fault, and he can't blame anyone else!"
When he said this, Li Xu sneered in his heart.
"You want me to speak for Gao Ming, and then use this as a lever to establish me as Gao Ming's party member? You are still too young!"
Just when Li Xu thought he had figured out Qin Feng thoroughly, he was secretly proud.
Qin Feng changed the subject and said bluntly: "The case in Pingyao County is just an excuse. Gao Ming's fate today is due to two things. One is that he stood on the opposite side of the saint and tried his best to prevent the national war, so that If it is difficult for a saint to implement national policies, it is nothing more than a stumbling block. How can a saint not clean him up? Secondly, Gao Ming is one of the three nobles. He should be cautious in his words and deeds and retreat to the second line of government affairs as much as possible. It is best to withdraw from the world and remain neutral at all times. "
"However, he stretched his hand too far. He can intervene in the national war now, and he can influence the inheritance of imperial power in the future. The original intention of the ancestor system of the ancestors is to restrain the saints by the Three Lords to prevent mediocrity and chaos. Nowadays, the saints have great talents and broad strategies. , is working hard to govern, and yet dares to intervene wantonly to obstruct government orders, which is disrupting the government's agenda."
"In both public and private matters, Gaoming must be eliminated!"
"And I, my nephew, am just a chess piece in the hands of the saint!"
How could Li Xu not know this truth?
It's just... no one dares to say it so clearly.
Even though there was no one else around, Qin Feng actually dared to tell the stakes in the street. Li Xu didn't know whether to lament that Qin Feng was bold or stupid.
Li Xu's defense against Qin Feng has begun to be replaced by doubt: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Qin Feng took a deep breath and his eyes were more serious than ever before: "Since the moment the war broke out in Beixi County, no matter how subjective or objective reasons there are, it is meaningless. The battle between Daliang and Beidi is inevitable! To prevent the national war at this time would be tantamount to going against the will of heaven and the will of the people!"
"The era of party struggle between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs has passed."
Qin Feng's last words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Xu deep in his heart.
Although Li Xu has always been reluctant to admit it, facts speak louder than words.
Neither Emperor Liang nor Qin Tianhu could see Li Xu in their eyes anymore.
At this time, if he continues to hold on to outdated political opinions and prejudices, he, Li Xu, is blind and looking for trouble...
