Seemingly looking away from Liu Jixing, Li Hao looked at Meng Chang who was trembling on the side, and then looked at several other Shu ministers (58) with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Li Xiangsheng is in Lingnan, and he may have some knowledge of Shu." We don’t know enough!”
As soon as Li Hao said these words, almost everyone present except Liu Jixing changed their expressions. You must know that although he has not been in Prince Xing's Mansion for a long time, no matter whether he is a minister who returned to Yi in Shu or a general who returned to Yi in Chu, everyone knows that Li Yi is not only the left prime minister of Lingnan, but also the teacher of Emperor Liu Jixing.
Not only did this offend Li Yi, but it was also an act of contempt for the emperor Liu Jixing. Could it be that Li Hao was really old and confused?
When he heard him say this, the people who were standing with him couldn't help but stand some distance apart. However, Li Hao's somewhat dim eyes seemed to turn a blind eye to all this. Instead, there was a hint of disdain in his expression.
Liu Jixing remained calm. When he looked at Meng Chang, he found that his face was pale and weak, and there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes: "Meng Aiqing, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no, sir, it's fine!" When Meng Chang answered, it was almost like a conditioned reflex, and even his voice was trembling.
"That's very good. If Meng Aiqing feels unwell, you can go back and rest first!" Liu Jixing showed sincere concern and arranged a fiefdom for Meng Chang. Liu Jixing would not end Meng Chang's life early like Zhao Kuangyin did. Because Liu Jixing knew that Hua Rui had followed him, he couldn't go too far.
"Your Majesty's kindness is so great that I am in tears. Your Majesty, rest assured that I am doing well!" Although Meng Chang broke out in a cold sweat, thinking about the fear these days and his mother's hunger strike for many days, how could he dare to anger Liu Jixing?
"If we say that all the officials and their families from all over central Shu are in the capital, even the governors and governors in Yuzhou have to go to the capital regularly to report. When I first heard about the Jingweijiao in Suizhou, I thought it was these people who were trying to please others!" Li Hao actually felt a little emotional. Although he didn't look at Meng Chang, he obviously didn't want to take the responsibility on himself.
As a veteran of Sichuan Province, Li Hao's reputation both in contemporary times and in later generations is naturally obvious to all. He may have seen Liu Jixing thinking, and thinking that people from Lingnan were elusive in Shu, he naturally knew that Liu Jixing could not be concealed. Seeing that Liu Jixing didn't say anything, he felt more confident.
"Later, state and county officials in several places in Suizhou were cowardly and ran around, causing the people to be frightened and the court humiliated. At that time, the old minister and Lord Wang reported to the Lord of Shu, but the Lord of Shu was obsessed with it every day, so the old minister had to deal with a lot of them on his own!" He looked at Meng Chang who looked surprised, without any guilt in his heart, and without any exaggeration.
Meng Chang had a look of surprise on his face. After listening to Li Hao's analysis, he realized that this was indeed the original reason. He couldn't help but look at Wang Zhaoyuan aside, his eyes were full of doubts, but Wang Zhaoyuan lowered his head and stopped looking at him. Because even though they returned to Lingnan together, they were already considered ministers of the same palace, so Wang Zhaoyuan naturally did not need to be afraid.
However, Wang Zhaoyuan couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought about his behavior and arrogance. No matter how prosperous and high-spirited it was at the beginning, it is all gone now.
Meng Chang has already experienced life and death in his heart, so no matter what happens, it is nothing more than this. But today, when he mentioned the old events in Shu again and thought about his own actions and the actions of these old ministers, his face still turned livid.
The rest of the officials in the side hall heard Li Hao's grand answer. Although everyone knew what was going on, their thoughts were completely different.
I really don’t know how to answer this kind of thing. After all, Shuzhong has now become a subsidiary of Lingnan. Although some state capitals are not completely stable, Li Hao’s answer and handling already know the outcome of Shuzhong.
At the beginning, the old prime minister wanted to hide Emperor Meng Chang's idea, but he didn't know his own idea, let alone his idea alone. But state affairs cannot be ignored. If the emperor does not care, it must be managed by his ministers. If there is a problem in the administration of the ministers, the final responsibility will inevitably fall on the emperor.
Thinking of the outcome in Shuzhong, everyone slowly raised their heads and looked at Meng Chang and Emperor Liu Jixing standing here. There was a sand table in Shu in front of him. It was obvious that Liu Jixing had already made an overall plan. Otherwise, where could such an accurate sand table come from?
Shi Shao, who was underground, seemed to be thinking a little after listening to Li Hao's words. Although Shuzhong had achieved such a great victory, and most of the special forces sent to Shuzhong were generals of his own forbidden army, Shi Shao knew in his heart that this had almost nothing to do with him.
The Lingnan court is now in awe of the emperor, that is, many of the victorious events seem to be personal contributions, but only those who are truly involved understand that most of these things are the result of Liu Jixing's early arrangements.
Therefore, these people absolutely believe that Liu Jixing is really sent down by God. Otherwise, how could he do everything with divine help? It seems that there are rumors from the outside that Dao Zun has a crush on the emperor. This is obviously not groundless news.
Meng Chang didn't dare to argue. Wang Zhaoyuan didn't hear Liu Jixing's voice, and his body couldn't help but tremble. You must know that others may speak with moisture, but who is this Li Hao!
That was the person with real power in Shu, besides the emperor!
What's more, everything he said is indeed true, and truth and falsehood are the scariest things. During the emperor's decades in power, except for the first ten years or so, it can be said that he personally handled it. In fact, all matters, big and small, were handled by a few people headed by Li Hao.
How to describe Li Hao!
It's like Meng Chang is the emperor in Shu, and his ministers are out of reach. And Li Hao is the earth emperor in Shu, and he is always around!
Since the sudden loss of Yuzhou, Li Fengxiao, as a descendant of the Li family and the governor of Yuzhou, must be held responsible. He even had a lot of activities in Yuzhou, but in the end Li Hao was able to give up his car to save his commander, which shows that Li Hao is definitely not that simple.
The land of a state is not a trivial matter. Li Fengxiao naturally wanted to report it, but in the end he was suppressed by Zhongshu. This was not a decision made by one person, which shows that these people in Zhongshu reached a consensus. Zhongshu is Meng Chang's mouthpiece, but this mouthpiece can no longer eat, so this is Meng Chang's greatest sorrow!
Whether it was selfishness or for the sake of the country, it was a good thing that Li Fengxiao went to Beijing to report.
But Li Hao knew that the Kingdom of Shu was hopeless. Of course, he would never say this. He wanted to share all the responsibilities equally. In the end, when it is really impossible to deal with it, we will let everyone face it together!
Li Fengxiao later realized that he was wrong. He actually forgot the most important person, that is Li Hao!
