Chapter 485: Lingnan Confrontation
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing Liu Jixing standing calmly in front of the map, looking at the three-dimensional sand table from time to time and being silent for a long time, the ministers standing on the side did not dare to squeak.
Although Liu Jixing usually gets along with everyone, most of them are smiling. However, with the gradual accumulation of prestige, many courtiers have been offering advice and authority, and Liu Jixing has also had vigorous and resolute means, so everyone has a lot of awe for this little emperor!
If you still had a submissive mentality before, now many people who see Liu Jixing sitting firmly in the country have more obvious awe of Liu Jixing in their hearts. After all, the country in Lingnan belongs to the Liu family, and although Liu Jixing is young, his performance this year is obviously beyond too many people in the Central Plains.
Li Yu looked at Emperor Liu Jixing with an embarrassed expression, and thought that because he had received some reliable news, he could talk to the emperor when he was in the early dynasty. You must know that since picking up Liu Jixing, he has always been Liu Jixing's confidant.
Who knows what he said, the emperor never thought to ask, Li Yu looked at the ministers who had nothing to do with him, and behind him was Du Yu waiting for Shi Shao, who was prostrate on the ground.
Lee was an emerging minister, and he prided himself on never colluding with his henchmen. Since Liu Jixing's prestige became stronger and stronger, he knew that he was a little too conceited.
The report of the court meeting that has just been held is undoubtedly the old road for Liu Jixing to develop the construction of Lingnan. However, the unexpected arrival of Meng Chang and Zhang Wenbiao once again caused the shock of Li Yu and these local ministers.
After all, in everyone's thoughts, this kind of courtiers who have returned to the dynasty are usually able to retire in Xingwangfu. Now Liu Jixing is still entrusted with a heavy task, which naturally caused a commotion among everyone.
As the representative of today's Lingnan ministers, Li Ji inevitably came forward with some spirit. Because Liu Jixing not only talked about the development of Lingnan, but now also involves the topic of going north to the Central Plains. However, Emperor Liu Jixing did not have the slightest intention of evading, and Li Ji naturally wanted to stand up and speak.
But seeing Liu Jixing's silence, Li Ji sensitively realized that what he had just said had caused damage to everyone's interests, and he might think that he was admonishing Liu Jixing, and he would have to oppose this group of ministers who had returned to righteousness in Shuzhong, and even the original colleagues in Lingnan.
This is the side hall of the council, because it is already after the court meeting, so there are not many people here. But at this moment, because of Li Yu's words, the atmosphere here instantly became depressing. Several ministers bowed their heads as if they hadn't heard what Li Ji said, and like Emperor Liu Jixing's temper, they pretended to be deaf and dumb and stood in front of Liu Jixing, looking serious one by one.
Not to mention that these people stand solemnly, and they seem to practice with their eyes, nose, nose, and heart, as if they have never understood these things.
Liu Jixing is naturally not stupid, people in this era are not as good as later generations, and they will be as loyal as Li Yu and selfish. He naturally knew that Lingnan was now under his rule, and it was no longer simply peaceful.
However, the gap between the common people and the official family in the world has been irreconcilable since ancient times, and the people must have the consciousness of the people. He never thought that his courtiers didn't know all this, but they should know best. It's just that everyone will have their own interests. In front of himself, as long as this kind of interest does not damage the existence of Lingnan and does not undermine the overall situation of his northward advance, he will turn a blind eye.
"Master Li, what Li Xiangfang just said, what do you think!" Liu Jixing suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Hao, who was aging next to Meng Chang, word by word, this veteran of Shishu for nearly fifty years, and now after arriving in Lingnan, he was still promoted by Liu Jixing as a bachelor.
In the past, most of the financial and political affairs in Shuzhong still relied on him, although Meng Chang favored Wang Zhaoyuan in the past, but Wang Zhaoyuan has always been a half-master to Li Hao, he is conceited and militarily compared to Kong Ming, but this finance and politics are still far inferior to Li Hao. Liu Jixing just values this kind of old minister, what haven't you seen in decades of ups and downs?
Hearing Liu Jixing's voice, Li Hao, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb and trembling, was obviously a little shocked. He was in charge of the economy of Shuzhong, and naturally knew that the amount of taxes that came up in various parts of Shuzhong was compared with last year, and now that he had returned to Lingnan, Li Hao quickly adjusted himself in his heart.
In charge of the political affairs of Shuzhong, he naturally receives information from all over Shuzhong every day, basically there is no good thing, he naturally knows that all parts of Shuzhong are making trouble, but at the beginning he also thought that it had not reached the level that the officials in various places said. But seeing the death of the country and even being relocated to Lingnan, he originally thought that he would definitely die, but he didn't expect that Emperor Liu Jixing would still treat him well.
Li Hao, a veteran politician for decades, naturally understands what Liu Jixing means. It's not that these ministers report good news but not bad news, which led to the collapse of Shu, but the emperor's pleasure all day long, where will there be so much time to care about these things.
Just now, Shi Shao came over and said that most of Shu was in his pocket, but the special forces sent out also suffered heavy casualties. For this kind of thing, Li Hao really understood it today. At that time, Yuzhou was lost and occupied by the rebellious average church. This is not a joke, it is caused by the past spies of the Lingnan faction!
Not to mention that Yuzhou is located in an important position in Shuzhong, it is a big state capital, and it is impossible to say that there are so many soldiers, and it is impossible to say that it is gone, and it is occupied by unarmed troublemakers. Now that I think of the means of this emperor Liu Jixing, there are few people in the world who can do it
Li Hao is not a ruthless person, on the contrary, he has always had a good reputation in Shuzhong officialdom. Even a favored person like Wang Zhaoyuan has to be respectful to himself, which shows that Li Hao is indeed very capable, that is, to take into account the feelings of the top and bottom.
Now Li Hao followed Meng Chang back to the dynasty and wisely sent his daughter to the palace. Although I don't know if he will be favored, as a righteous minister, Li Hao is already lucky now.
"Your Majesty is aware of what Li Xiang said about Shuzhong and Yuzhou, and the old minister does not dare to agree!" Li Hao looked up at Liu Jixing, he couldn't see any expression on his face, there was nothing unusual in his cloudy eyes, decades of officialdom and adultery invaded officialdom, and there were several people in Shu who were Li Hao's opponents, even if he came to Lingnan, he also had his own self-confidence.
"His Majesty will not give up, although he was a minister of Shu in the past, but he knows everything about the political affairs of Shudi! In the past, although the old were lazy and lazy, the officials of the various ministries would still communicate with the ministers in time to deal with it. But when Lao Chen was in Shu in the past, he didn't receive any news about Yuzhou's inappropriateness! Li Hao thought of the major events in Yuzhou, and couldn't help but harden his old teeth, and confidently faced Liu Jixing.
"Hmmm! Mr. Li, but it doesn't hurt to say! Liu Jixing smiled slightly.
