Ordinary people are no higher than court officials, they will not think about so many gains, losses and interests, they will only do what they feel is right. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Among the 150,000 soldiers killed in the Western Expedition, 50,000 were Kaifeng people, and the families of these 50,000 people often had contact with each other.
In the afternoon of the same day, more than 2,000 old and young women and children gathered at the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, beat the big drum in front of the yamen, and complained that the prince of Xia Guochao had exhausted the death of 150,000 of the three armies, and implored Yin Li Fu of Kaifeng Mansion to uphold justice.
The families of other soldiers who died in the war did not join the team of complainants, either because they were afraid or because they were confused, but the people's brigade of 2,000 people was also huge, much more spectacular than the previous one that surrounded Li Hao's mansion, and directly blocked the entire street outside the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.
The matter was spread in an instant, and almost at the same time that 2,000 people complained, the people in the whole Kaifeng City knew about it, and many people rushed over.
It wasn't until the two thousand people's papers were handed over that Li Fu personally opened the door and greeted them, looking at everyone with a sad face.
After a little counting, Li Fu found that this group of people had increased dramatically to 5,000 people!
In just one stick of incense, the number of people who complained suddenly increased by 3,000 people!
Outside of them, there were people watching the excitement, and for a while, Li Fu couldn't tell how many people there were!
Looking at the appearance of these complainants, it seems that not all of them are family members of soldiers killed in battle, some of them are purely here to cheer, and some of them are only in their teens.
Among these people, the people in tattered cotton jackets are all poor people, people in brocade clothes, maybe some officials or the family members of wealthy businessmen, the elderly, the young, men, women, children, all kinds of people, almost a complete society.
Li Fu knew from the moment he saw these people that Mi Dechao had already provoked the anger of the heavens and was hated by almost all the people.
Should such a person still protect him?
At that moment, Li Fu comforted everyone, and then separated the crowd and went straight to the palace.
Knowing that Li Fu was coming, Zhao Guangyi guessed that he was going to talk about Mi Dechao, and was about to send Zhao Ling'er to send him away, when he suddenly heard a scene outside the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Guangyi was so shocked that he sat up from the bed.
"The people's grievances are boiling! How good is that? Zhao Guangyi muttered.
Zhao Ling'er was also stunned, and it took a long time before replying, "Do you want Master Li to come in and take a look?" ā
Zhao Guangyi nodded: "Well, you go and call Li Fu in." ā
Zhao Ling'er took the order and left, and after a while, he brought Li Fu, after Li Fu saw Zhao Guangyi, he gave a salute and began to tell a scene outside the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.
"Li Aiqing, it was you who said that you were going to interrogate Mi Dechao publicly, I don't know if the Mi Dechao circulating today is enough to compare to Yang Guozhong's words, do you know who said it?" Zhao Guangyi asked.
Li Fu frowned slightly, he has always been a man and a bright man, but Zhao Guangyi's words seemed to be suspicious of him, Li Fu couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know who said this, but the minister can guarantee that if the minister has something to say, he will say it openly and openly, and he will not spread anything in the dark." ā
Zhao Guangyi smiled awkwardly: "Aiqing's personality, I am naturally clear, so what does Aiqing have to say about the collective complaint of the people outside the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion this time?" ā
Li Fu heard that Zhao Guangyi was finally willing to get down to business, paused, and said: "Your Majesty, the mistake that Mi Dechao made this time is really too big, and the minister thinks that the emperor should abandon the car to protect the handsome." ā
"What! Are you saying that because of this incident, some people have become dissatisfied with me? Zhao Guangyi asked in surprise.
Li Fu secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, could it be that the emperor, do you think that the defeat of Yi Dechao has nothing to do with you? If this expedition to the west is led by the Marquis of Zhuozhou, I am afraid that the Western Xia capital has now been included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
Of course, Li Fu didn't dare to say this directly, he nodded: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, for such a person as Mi Dechao, I can't take advantage of your reputation!" ā
Zhao Guangyi lowered his head and pondered, and said for a long time: "Aiqing, I understand what you mean, but the current court, Cao Bin, Hu Yanzan, Pan Mei, Yang Yanzhao, etc., are all the team of the first emperor, and I am somewhat ...... Alas, coupled with the fact that Wang Chai Jun of Yunnan has been operating in Yunnan, how can he allow others to snore on the side of the bed, and I want to hold a part of the troops in my hands, what is wrong with this? ā
Li Fu replied: "The emperor can't trust the generals, and wants to take back the military power, and the ministers, as civil officials, are happy to see it, but Mi Dechao is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, why did you choose him, the emperor?" ā
Zhao Guangyi also rolled his eyes in his heart, just like Yi Dechao, he is still the tallest among the short, looking at the Great Song Dynasty, how many people can reassure Zhao Guangyi, and the ability is okay young generals?
Li Fu seemed to see Zhao Guangyi's thoughts, and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister deliberately favors anyone to speak, Zhao Gutian, the Marquis of Zhuozhou County, is a strange resource, capable of literature and martial arts, full of wisdom, has made great contributions repeatedly, and is loyal to the emperor, why don't you train him well?" How much worse is Mi Dechao than Zhao Houye? ā
Hearing Zhao Gu's name, Zhao Guangyi was also a little helpless in his heart, why didn't he want to reuse Zhao Gu, but as long as he thought of Zhao Gu's genius and age, he couldn't help but feel numb in his heart, where should he start?
After pondering for a while, Zhao Guangyi felt that the relationship between Li Fu and Zhao Gu was too good, so he wanted to give him a touch.
So, Zhao Guangyi said: "Aiqing, now Prime Minister Zhao Pu is already dying, and when he retires, Lu Mengzheng will take over his class, I intend to let you take Lu Mengzheng, as one of the governors, I don't know if Aiqing is willing?" ā
Li Fu was stunned, how did it happen to himself?
I heard Zhao Guangyi say again: "Since Aiqing is going to be the ruler in the future, I won't hide it from you, Zhao Gu is a good person, but he's too young, isn't he?" Now that he is the founding of the country, if it is a few years later, I am afraid that he will be a very human minister, and when I kick my legs, with his talent and prestige at that time, the new emperor will not be stared at by him, do you think Aiqing will not stage another Chenqiao mutiny? ā
"It's ......." Li Fu didn't know how to answer this, although he was upright, he was not a fool, and on this kind of big issue related to the throne, even if he was a right counselor, it was not easy to express his position.
