"His Majesty!"
Seeing Liu Jixing standing calmly in front of the map, looking at the three-dimensional sand table for a long time without saying a word, the ministers standing nearby did not dare to say a word.
Although Liu Jixing usually smiles when he gets along with everyone. However, as he gradually gained more power, many courtiers continued to offer advice and suggestions to establish his authority. In addition, Liu Jixing also had vigorous and resolute methods, so everyone had a lot more respect for this little emperor!
If they still had a submissive mentality before, now many people who see Liu Jixing have secured his position have a more obvious respect for Liu Jixing in their hearts. After all, the land of Lingnan belongs to the Liu family. Although Liu Jixing is young, his performance this year has obviously exceeded that of many people in the Central Plains.
Li Yi looked at Emperor Liu Jixing with an embarrassed look on his face. He thought that because he had obtained some reliable information, he could talk to the Emperor during the morning court. You must know that since taking Liu Jixing back, he has always been Liu Jixing's confidant.
Who knew that the emperor never wanted to ask about the things he was talking about? Li Yi looked at the ministers who had nothing to do with him. Behind him was Du Yuhou Shishao who was crawling on the ground.
Li Yi was considered a rising minister, and he was proud that he never colluded with party members. After Liu Jixing's prestige became stronger and stronger, he knew that he was a little too conceited.
The report to the court meeting that just took place is undoubtedly Liu Jixing's old path in developing Lingnan construction. However, the unexpected arrival of Meng Chang and Zhang Wenbiao once again shocked local ministers like Li Yi.
After all, in everyone's mind, it is good for such a minister who returns to the court to be able to retire in Prince Xing's Mansion. Now Liu Jixing actually entrusted him with important tasks, which naturally caused everyone to be in a commotion.
As the current representative of Lingnan's ministers, Li Yi inevitably came forward with some enthusiasm. Because Liu Jixing not only talked about the development of Lingnan, but now also touched on the topic of marching north to the Central Plains. But Emperor Liu Jixing had no intention of avoiding it, so Li Yi naturally had to stand up and speak.
But seeing Liu Jixing's silence, Li Yi was sensitive to the fact that what he just said had already caused damage to everyone's interests. Maybe he thought it was an admonishment to Liu Jixing, and he wanted to fight with these ministers who had returned to Chu in the middle of Shu. Gong and even Lingnan's original colleagues are going to confront each other.
This is the side hall where political affairs are discussed. Because it is already after the court meeting, there are not many people here. But at this moment, because of Li Yi's words, the atmosphere here suddenly became depressed. Several ministers lowered their heads as if they had not heard what Li Yi said. Just like the emperor Liu Jixing's temper, they stood in front of Liu Jixing pretending to be deaf and dumb, and looked serious.
Not to mention that these people stood solemnly and looked at the nose and heart with their eyes and nose as if they were practicing cultivation. They seemed to have never understood these things.
Liu Jixing is naturally not stupid. People in this era are no more loyal than later generations and have selfish motives like Li Yi. He naturally knew that Lingnan was no longer simply peaceful under his rule.
However, the gap between the common people and the officials in the world has been irreconcilable since ancient times. The common people must have common people's consciousness. He never thought that his ministers didn't know all this. On the contrary, they should know it best. But everyone has their own interests. In front of himself, as long as this kind of interest does not harm the existence of Lingnan and does not undermine his overall goal of moving north, he will turn a blind eye.
"Scholar Li, what do you think of what Prime Minister Li just said?" Liu Jixing suddenly turned his head and stared at the old Li Hao next to Meng Chang. This veteran minister who had served in Shu for nearly fifty years has now arrived in Lingnan. After that, he was still promoted as a bachelor by Liu Jixing.
In the past, most of the financial and political affairs in Shu still depended on him. Although Meng Chang doted on Wang Zhaoyuan in the past, Wang Zhaoyuan always treated Li Hao with half-master courtesy. Not as good as Li Hao's. Liu Jixing values this kind of veteran minister. What has he not seen after decades of ups and downs?
Li Hao, who had been pretending to be deaf and mute, was obviously a little shocked when he heard Liu Jixing's voice. He is in charge of the economy in central Shu, so he naturally knows that the tax amount in various places in central Shu is compared with last year. Now that he is returning to Lingnan, Li Hao has quickly adjusted himself.
In charge of political affairs in central Shu, he would naturally receive information from all over the country every day. Basically, there was nothing good. He naturally knew that various places in central Shu were making troubles for peace, but at the beginning he also believed that it had not reached the level expected by officials from all over the country. To that extent. However, seeing the country subjugated and even being moved to Lingnan, he originally thought that he would definitely die, but he did not expect that Emperor Liu Jixing would still treat him favorably.
Li Hao, a veteran politician for decades, naturally understood what Liu Jixing meant. It's not that these ministers reported good news but not bad news, which led to the demise of Shu, but that the emperor enjoyed himself all day long, and how could he have so much time to care about these things.
The commander just came over and said that most of Shu was captured, but the special forces sent out also suffered heavy casualties. Li Hao only really understood this kind of thing today. Yuzhou was lost and occupied by the rebellious Uniform Cult. This is no joke, it was caused by the spies sent by Lingnan!
Not to mention that Yuzhou is located in an important position in the middle of Shu. Even though it is a large state capital, it is impossible for so many soldiers to be taken over by the unarmed troublemaking believers. Now that I think about the methods of Emperor Liu Jixing, few people in this world can match them.
Li Hao is not a ruthless person. On the contrary, he has always had a good reputation in the officialdom of Sichuan. Even someone as favored as Wang Zhaoyuan has to be respectful to him, which shows that Li Hao does have a very special ability, that is, taking into account the feelings of up and down.
Now Li Hao followed Meng Chang back to the court and wisely sent his daughter to the palace. Although I don't know if he will be favored, as a Duke of Guiyi, Li Hao is already lucky now.
"Your Majesty is aware that the old minister disagrees with what Prime Minister Li said about Yuzhou in Sichuan!" Li Hao raised his head and looked at Liu Jixing. There was no expression on his face. There was nothing unusual about his pair of cloudy eyes. After decades of officialdom, Invading officialdom, there were several people in Shu who were Li Hao's opponents. Even when he came to Lingnan, he still had his own self-confidence.
"My Majesty, I have never given up. Although I was a minister of Shu in the past, I knew the political affairs of Shu very well! Although I was lazy in the past, when officials in various ministries had something to do, they would still inform and communicate with me in a timely manner. But I used to know When I was in Shu, I didn't receive any bad news about Yuzhou!" Li Hao couldn't help but stiffen his teeth when he thought of the major events in Yuzhou, and faced Liu Jixing confidently.
"Yeah! It doesn't matter, Academician Li!" Liu Jixing smiled slightly.
