Chapter 487: On Loyalty

The political affairs of Shuzhong, at this time, if Li Hao does not agree, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the emperor to know the true image of Yuzhou.

Whether it is Wang Zhaoyuan, who covers the sky with one hand, or Meng Chang's in-laws. Everyone faces their own interests, and even has an illusion in their hearts. That is, everyone overestimated their abilities, and forgot that there was actually an empty shelf left in Shuzhong.

People don't have to push this shelf, as long as they put the support under the shelf, just pull one or two at will, and the whole building will easily fall, this is the sorrow of Shuzhong!

"Lord Wang! You used to be in charge of the affairs of the Privy Council of Shuzhong, so you should be familiar with the military near Yuzhou, right? Liu Jixing suddenly looked at Wang Zhaoyuan quietly, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

This Wang Zhaoyuan followed Meng Chang to righteousness, and after coming to Xingwangfu, he didn't see Liu Jixing say. As a favorite minister in Shuzhong, Wang Zhaoyuan naturally trembled and walked on thin ice. Because the winner has always ended up as king, it is difficult for the righteous ministers to have a good ending. Don't seek to soar, at least hope to make a living.

Originally, I thought that I was nothing more than stealing the palace, and it would be a great fortune if I could keep the integrity of the house, but I didn't expect to suddenly receive an edict to enter the palace today, Wang Zhaoyuan was naturally uneasy in his heart. At this time, he suddenly heard Liu Jixing's roll call, and he was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.

However, seeing that Liu Jixing didn't make any other moves, he could be regarded as a person who had seen a big scene after all, so he sorted out his thoughts a little, and then bowed his hand slightly in an orderly manner.

Wang Zhaoyuan gave a salute to Liu Jixing, looking like he was for the country and the people, and it was hard for people who didn't know him to believe that this was an important minister in Shu who had just returned to righteousness.

Seeing Liu Jixing smiling slightly, he nodded to Li Hao again, and then said: "Yuzhou has been returning to righteousness since the beginning of the year to the return of the Manchu Dynasty, if the minister is not mistaken, there have been three Privy Council affairs!" Although he didn't know whether this matter was good or bad, he naturally knew Liu Jixing's intentions better in his heart.

Because when he was in Shuzhong, he usually understood the emperor's mind better than Li Hao, it didn't matter whether he was whitewashing the peace or not, the emperor didn't want to hear unhappy things, this was the most important thing. Now Liu Jixing is a pioneering emperor, whether he can gain a foothold in Lingnan or not, it seems that it depends on today's performance.

Of course, Wang Zhaoyuan also knows what to do, and he also cares most about his prestige in the court now. Because now he is not a minister in Shuzhong, he is a subject of Lingnan Guiyi. Although he didn't get the title or any position, Li Hao's example was in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

Not to mention what the truth of Yuzhou would be now, naturally no one went there here. But Lingnan was able to win thousands of miles away, and it was obvious that there were a lot of reports from that side every day. When he thought of this, Wang Zhaoyuan couldn't help but rearrange his thoughts.

At the beginning, there was a lot of uproar outside Jinguan City, and the official family didn't see any problems. Even those ministers who don't know the truth must just think that they are just making trouble for the people. Although he didn't want Li Hao to assert in front of the emperor alone, he also knew that Li Hao couldn't do that.

Now that everyone has come to Xingwangfu, they have no choice in the direction of the current pattern, since Liu Jixing knows the existence of Li Hao, he can't be a little false at present. Therefore, Wang Zhaoyuan looked righteous and awe-inspiring, obviously on the same line with Li Hao.

Sure enough, Li Hao's expression was ordinary and casual, and he looked like he was listening.

Wang Zhaoyuan couldn't help but say with a serious face: "At that time, on February 16, because there was no court stationed in the original Yudu County, Zhao Lang, the defense envoy of Yuzhou, led 2,000 foot soldiers, and a thousand naval troops wanted to enter the city, but unexpectedly, three miles away from the city of Xudu, a fighting ship and dozens of wooden boats were lost, and more than 300 foot soldiers were missing, and the garrison returned in vain. ”

Wang Zhaoyuan has a conceit of his life and has Kong Ming's talents, this memory is still very good, and it is clear and well-founded. This was also something that Meng Chang appreciated very much at the beginning, but this matter was a face-damaging matter for the imperial court, and he didn't dare to be arrogant at the beginning. Now even in front of Meng Chang, Wang Zhaoyuan has lost his original respect.

"The loss of so many soldiers is also a major event in the DPRK!" Liu Jixing had just said this, and suddenly thought that Meng Chang was also here, and couldn't help but look at him.

Sure enough, seeing Meng Chang's face flushed, it was obviously not that he didn't know, but that he might not have paid attention to it at all. Although Liu Jixing did not sigh, but thinking of Meng Chang's failure, perhaps like Li Yu many years later, they were not suitable to be emperors at all.

may see that Meng Chang didn't dare to squeak, although Wang Zhaoyuan didn't mean to be sarcastic, but thinking of Meng Chang's actions in recent years, his heart couldn't help but be full of helplessness. However, Wang Zhaoyuan didn't look at Meng Chang again, and kept reminding himself in his heart that he shouldn't keep the things that had already passed.

"Because the Xudu City, in the hands of the former emperor of Shuzhong, has always been a forbidden place, and later followed the wishes of the first emperor, and never interfered in the appointment and dismissal of the Xudu City! That Zhao Lang is really bold, I don't know who asked him to send troops to go to the capital city to cause a catastrophe! No one knows what he is thinking, but he is telling the truth about the Privy Council, because Liu Jixing naturally knows about it.

"According to Lord Wang's thoughts, it is possible that someone did this!" Liu Jixing looked at Wang Zhaoyuan with a smile, because he got the tip, and the people of Shu thought it at the beginning. This is either the presumptuousness of the gates of hell, or the audacity of the Even-handed Sect. However, in the eyes of the minister of Shu, the Hell Gate has a greater chance of taking the opportunity to protrude.

"Your Majesty is clear!" Wang Zhaoyuan was a little deliberate, but when he saw Liu Jixing's expression, he couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration in his heart, and he boldly said: "Because there were faint rumors in Shuzhong last year, there were bandits in Shuzhong who gathered people to confuse the people, and the military department ordered military requisition in various places. General Zhao Lang received an order from the Ministry of War that day, saying that there were Average Sect members in Yuzhou, and they were causing chaos among the people everywhere, so it was normal to call on the Fuling garrison to send troops to suppress the chaos! ”

Wang Zhaoyuan then said: "As for why General Zhao Lang chose the capital of Xudu, it must be a temporary military decision, and the minister doesn't know if he lives in Jinguan City!" However, on February 27, Zhao Lang led the army to eliminate three bandits in Yuzhou, and a large number of confusing people, and planned to exterminate 843 bandits! This is the second report from Yuzhou received by the Privy Council! ”

Wang Zhaoyuan saw that Emperor Liu Jixing did not speak, and knew that the emperor understood the ins and outs, so he respectfully said to him: "According to the current thought, it should be the average sect that confused General Zhao Lang!" He may have suddenly thought that this average sect was the foundation of the Lingnan sent to Shuzhong, so naturally he didn't dare to offend it.
