A fire burned the ordnance supervisor in Chengdu into ruins, and at the time of the fifth watch, the army patrolling in the city saw the fire in the distance, and that place happened to be the location of the Shu ** weapon supervisor, and the army immediately rushed there.
The fire raged, and the army dispatched a large number of troops to start fighting the fire, and it took about an hour or two before the fire was extinguished.
At this moment, the army suddenly found a token in the fire, and the officer immediately asked people to pick out the token from the fire, and then he poured water on it until it was cold, and then he picked it up from the ground, "This ...... It's not ......" The officer was so shocked that he rushed straight to the palace without further ado.
When they went to the palace, Meng Chang and Mrs. Hua Rui were still asleep, and after a long time, Meng Chang woke up from his arms.
At this time, the attendant outside the door heard the movement in the hall, and hurriedly entered the hall to pass the message, "Your Majesty, Li Ming, the deputy envoy of the regimental training, has important matters outside the hall and wants to see Your Majesty." ”
"Hmm! Let him go to Fengtai and wait, and I will come later. ”
After an hour, Meng Chang Shi Ran arrived at Fengtai and saw Li Ming, the deputy envoy of the regimental training, waiting for a long time.
At this time, Li Ming, the deputy envoy of the regimental training, suddenly knelt on the ground, and then said: "Your Majesty forgive me, this morning on the fifth watch, the last general patrolled the city and saw a fire in the sky above the direction of the ordnance superintendent, when the last general rushed to the city, the ordnance superintendent was already on fire, the last general, busy ordering people to extinguish the fire, the lord but the last general found this in the ruins, and specially came up to hand it over to Your Majesty." ”
After Li Ming, the deputy envoy of the regimental training, finished speaking, he took out a token from his cuff that had been blackened by the fire and handed it to Meng Chang.
Meng Chang hurriedly went to get it, and when he stared at this token carefully, he suddenly found that this was actually the token of Li Hao, the prime minister of the dynasty, he snorted coldly, and was so angry that he was blue and purple, but it was not good to attack before the courtiers.
"Deputy trainer, go down first......"
"No!" Li Ming turned around and left.
Meng Chang looked at this token for a long time, and then sighed: "Li Xiang, why did you do something unfavorable to me, but you have been an official in the court since the time of the first emperor, and you are also my right-hand man." ”
Immediately, Meng Chang hurriedly asked the chamberlain to go to Li Hao's mansion and announced that he would enter the palace to meet him, and he wanted to see in person whether it was Li Hao's doing.
Li Hao also heard about the fire in the ordnance supervisor, but he was more concerned about Wang Zhaoyuan, a confused official who claimed to be Zhuge Kongming, who was not a personal entourage of the emperor back then, and he didn't think that such a person would also be appointed by the emperor as a privy envoy and take charge of the first power of Shu.
He Li Hao is just a prime minister, but he is only a civil official. At this time, he hurriedly touched the token on his waist, but he didn't find it, maybe it was in the house, he never cared about any details.
Li Hao was still in the mansion, and when he heard Meng Chang's summons, he immediately entered the palace and asked the chamberlain along the way, but the chamberlain shook his head, only saying that His Majesty Long Yan was furious, and it was not easy for him to say anything else.
Li Hao nodded.
When he arrived at Fengtai, Meng Chang sat on the dragon chair and said nothing.
"Minister Li Hao has seen Your Majesty."
"Oh, it's Li Xiang." On weekdays, Meng Chang calls Li Hao by words, but today he calls him by his official title, which makes Li Hao feel bad.
"Weichen doesn't know why His Majesty summoned the ministers today?"
"Where is the token I gave Li Xiang to enter and leave the palace?" Meng Chang asked lightly.
Token, when Meng Chang talked about the token, Li Hao didn't know why he suddenly asked about the token, but he really hadn't seen the token today, he pretended to search on his waist for a while, and then he said: "Your Majesty, the minister entered the palace in a hurry today, and this imperial gift was not worn on his body." ”
"Oh, yes. Li Xiang, don't throw away this imperial gift, if you lose it, please tell me in time, if it falls into the hands of the gangsters, the enemy will take the opportunity to make trouble and enter and leave the palace, this consequence is not something Li Xiang can predict. Meng Chang reminded.
Li Hao didn't know why Meng Chang said this today, and he couldn't understand what Meng Chang was saying.
"Thank you Your Majesty for reminding me, Li Hao understands."
"It's good to understand, did Li Xiang hear about the fire in the Ordnance Supervisor today?" Meng Chang continued to ask.
Li Hao heard Meng Chang talk about the weapons prison, and said: "Weichen heard the servants in the house early in the morning, this gangster actually burned down the weapons prison of my Great Shu Kingdom, it is conceivable that the Song State must have mixed into our dynasty. ”
"Song Jun, why is Li Xiang insisting that it was his doing, isn't it the people in the court?"
Meng Chang seemed to think that someone in the court had burned the ordnance prison, he thought for a while, and suddenly remembered whose hands this military power was in his hands, this one machine huì, one machine huì to bring down the shǒu, Li Hao did not intend to let go, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the military power of my Great Shu Kingdom is naturally under the control of Your Majesty, but from Your Majesty, the Privy Council is in charge of all the troops of my Great Shu Kingdom, and the troops are all out of it." A few days ago, there was no one in the court who impeached the ministers and the king's privy envoys, and the military weapons supervisor caught fire in a few days, and Weichen felt that there was something strange about this matter. ”
"Oh? If you follow what Li Xiang said, you think that it was the Privy Council Wang Xiang's doing. ”
"Your Majesty, that's not what Weichen meant."
"What do you mean?" Meng Chang was suddenly furious, and then he took out an object from his cuff and let Li Hao see it.
Li Hao saw that this was not his own token to enter and leave the palace, he was quickly shocked, and then said: "Your Majesty, isn't this the token you gave me?" How did it return to His Majesty. ”
"I want to ask Li Xiang about this matter, where did you find out last night?" Meng Chang asked sharply.
When Li Hao heard Meng Chang's tone change greatly, he panicked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Wechen was in the house last night, but I don't know where Your Majesty got Weichen's token." ”
Meng Chang smiled faintly, he sighed, and then said coldly: "This is dug up by the officers patrolling the capital today from the ruins of the ordnance prison. ”
When Li Hao heard this, his face turned pale, he couldn't believe it, he was stunned for a long time, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, Weichen has never been to the Ordnance Prison, this is someone to blame Weichen, the Minister really doesn't know why the token appeared in the Ordnance Prison, Your Majesty has to believe Weichen." ”
After Li Hao finished speaking, he suddenly knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
When Meng Chang saw Li Hao like this, he was a little soft-hearted, and he wanted to test whether it was Li Hao's doing, but Meng Chang saw that he was not pretentious, and Li Hao also had no way of knowing that he had lost the token.
But who did this, it was the Song army's meticulous work, I didn't expect that the Song State had annexed the land of Jingxiang before, and now it was trying to plot against its own Shu State, this abacus was really good, and he almost wanted to ask Li Hao for his guilt.
However, in addition to Song Guo's meticulous work, who else has eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard and wants to take action against the weapons supervisor, Meng Chang can only think so.
Meng Chang immediately picked up Li Hao from the ground, and then apologized, "Fang is abrupt, Li Qing don't have to worry about it." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Hao wiped his tears, at this moment, he hated the privy envoy Wang Zhaoyuan more and more in his heart, this person must be removed, today he almost let himself be held accountable by His Majesty, and if he didn't do it, he would lose his official position and lose his life.
He has been in charge of finance and politics for 50 years, and he didn't expect to be planted in the hands of a descendant today, even if today's fire in the ordnance supervision was not put by Wang Wurou, he will have to take an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
After Meng Chang comforted him, he rewarded Li Hao with some gold, silver and jewelry, and Li Hao left the palace with emotion.
……
At this moment, in a secret room in Xiaobaihua Building, Zhang Hui and Qin Xi were discussing things.
"Presumably Li Hao has already fallen." Qin Xidao.
Zhang Hui said with a smile: "No, Li Hao will not fall for the time being, but Wang Zhaoyuan's situation is difficult, one of these two is in charge of Shuzhong's financial power and political power, and the other is in charge of military power, both of which are Meng Chang's henchmen." Some days ago, it was I inquired from the officials in the capital of Shu to know that Li Hao played the impeachment of Wang Zhaoyuan, and I also asked Wang Zhaoyuan to reveal one or two, I expected that Wang Zhaoyuan would not give up, if the two of them were not in harmony, they would ...... It's wonderful. ”
"I didn't expect Zhang Tuanlian to have such thoughts, I really admire it."
"No, this is thanks to the prompts of His Royal Highness King Liang, knowing oneself and knowing the other, and not being defeated in a hundred battles, I thought that Lian Po and Lin will be at odds with each other."
"Clever!" Qin Xi gave a thumbs up when he heard this.
