Chapter 42: Father and Son

However, Li Hao and Chen Xi, who knew the full content of this plan, knew that after Cui Ming understood it, they were afraid that he would not be so happy.

Therefore, after a happy family banquet, when Li Hao left the palace with Chen Xi, Chen Xi once again admonished.

"Your Highness, isn't it too early to submit this plan to Your Majesty now, it is better to change it again, so that Your Majesty can slowly accept it."

In fact, when Li Hao was about to submit this plan, Chen Xi had advised him more than once, hoping that Li Hao could go step by step to avoid conflicts with Cui Ming.

But Li Hao didn't adopt it, because compared to Chen Xi, Li Hao understands human nature too well.

A high emperor will not let people have the ability to challenge him, even if that person is his own son.

Since you must pass a level, it is better to find out as soon as possible, so as not to accumulate resentment in your heart the more you go later.

After all, there has been a father-son relationship for many years, and Li Hao really doesn't want to get to the point of life and death in the end.

As for forbearance until Cui Ming's death, there is no way to wait, because Yangzhou is slow, unless Li Hao deliberately does it, it is not difficult to let Cui Ming live a long life.

Li Hao really doesn't have that patience, and Li Hao himself still has requirements to complete the task, and the ghost knows if it will have a time limit.

So either Cui Ming took the initiative to give up power, or Li Hao could only use his own methods to take it over while retaining the bottom line.

It's just that there is no need to say so much to Chen Xi: "No need, now that I have integrated the Qi Kingdom, I have already taken the first step, and we must keep it."

Otherwise, once the Chu State and the Yan State really fuse the occupied land, or the An and Wu countries come to their senses, and then want to defeat them, it will take more time, and the damage to the people will be greater.

Therefore, even if Lone will be infamous, he needs his father to make a decision as soon as possible, all for the sake of the early unification of the world, so that the people can be free from war and live a good life of peace and tranquility."

Chen Xi was moved by Li Hao's words, and also replied: "Your Highness is noble, we will definitely help Your Highness complete the great cause."

In fact, Li Hao's judgment was indeed right, and he returned from the dark line buried by Jinyiwei beside Cui Ming.

In the first two days, when Cui Ming read the plan, he was still enthusiastic, but when he saw the relevant military and political reform, he immediately changed his appearance, and that part was also the focus of Li Hao's entire plan.

Because Cui Ming, who saw this, had already seen the difficulty of implementing this plan, at least he was not confident that he could complete it.

Moreover, since ancient times, few emperors have personally ended up in the New Deal reforms, after all, any reform will inevitably touch the interests of the old interest groups, and they will naturally try their best to obstruct it.

If something really goes wrong, the emperor can't bear it himself.

Cui Ming is not like Li Hao, he is not so confident in the reform of the New Deal, and he does not have enough courage and skill to deal with possible problems.

For specific candidates, the first thing that appeared in his mind was Li Hao, who submitted this plan, but he was quickly shaved off.

One is because of fear, after all, with Li Hao's current prestige and ability, if he takes over the military and political power again, then it will be difficult for him to take it back.

Second, because of protection, courtiers can choose to give up, but an excellent prince can't be moved easily.

Although Cui Ming was jealous of Li Hao, he also knew in his heart that this son was the best candidate to inherit the unification.

Excluding Li Hao, Cui Ming began to search among the Manchu courtiers again, but for a while he really couldn't think of anyone who could have both ability and loyalty.

Cui Ming, who couldn't think of a candidate, put the matter on hold for the time being.

After all, putting aside the pie painted by Li Hao, Cui Ming believes that today's Suguo has reached a peak of development.

Even if he stabilized the status quo, he also achieved feats that the monarchs of the past generations had not done.

And Cui Ming's situation was soon discovered by Li Hao.

Compared with Li Hao's previous expectations, this situation is not bad, but it is not in Li Hao's interests.

So Li Hao took the initiative to see Cui Ming again, and asked him for his opinion on the plan submitted by asking how to deal with the mediation.

"Father, now that the envoys of Chu and Yan have been stationed in the capital for many days, I am afraid it will be difficult to delay any longer.

I don't know if my father has read the reform method I played, and whether he should follow the policy."

Cui Ming couldn't clearly explain the reason for Li Hao's objection, so he used the Dafa of delay: "I'm busy with official business these days, and I haven't had time to look at it yet, so I'll talk about it later."

As for mediation, I believe that it is better to be fair and obedient, and not to be biased."

Although this was not explicitly stated, it was actually a negation of the strategy proposed by Li Hao before.

And Cui Ming didn't think that he could hide it from Li Hao, in order to keep Li Hao from objecting, he directly wanted to find a reason to take Li Hao away.

But how could Li Hao easily expose it, just to be able to occupy the moral high ground, Li Hao couldn't be too impatient.

Therefore, this time he did not entangle again, but adhered to the spirit of repeating again and again, and found Cui Ming twice.

In order to justify Li Hao not to say this again, Cui Ming convened six Shangshu and the governor of the five armies to discuss the matter.

Cui Ming thought that these people were all the beneficiaries of the existing interest groups, and except for a few and two princelings, everyone else must be opposed to the reform, and they were used to veto the reform plan.

It's just that Cui Ming still underestimated Li Hao's ability to quote scriptures, and in this debate, Li Hao can be said to have won a big victory.

Looking at it, it was really impossible to say, Cui Ming had no choice but to stand up and pull the bias, and at the same time to warn Li Hao to accept it when he saw it.

"This is a very important matter, and it has been a few hours of deliberation today, and I think all the ministers are tired, so they will come here first.

And even if there is a change in the law, there is no suitable candidate for the DPRK and China, so there is no hurry."

In the face of Cui Ming's vague warning, Li Haochun pretended not to understand: "Father, in the world of great contention, it is either good or eliminated; When you rise, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Now that all the countries in the Central Plains are forging ahead, if I Dasu is complacent, I am afraid that the end of the Qi Kingdom will not be far away.

As for the candidate to preside over the reform, the son is willing to recommend himself to share the worries of his father, and ask his father for permission."

Cui Ming was directly commanded by the army, and immediately became a little angry, stared at Li Hao, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean is that if Lone doesn't listen to you, he will become the king of the dead country."

Li Hao was not panicked at all, raised his head to meet Cui Ming's gaze, and calmly replied: "Erchen doesn't dare, but now the general trend is coming, Erchen thinks that only by following the trend can he be invincible, and he also asks his father to learn from it."

Looking at the head-to-head confrontation between the father and son in the palace, everyone present was shocked, and their hearts rose for a while, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

In the end, Wang Kun took the initiative to stand up: "Reform and change of law are related to the fortunes of the country, no matter how cautious it is, it is not too much. What the wisdom of the crowd does, that is, nothing can be done.

It is better to put this matter in the court and ask the ministers to discuss it before making a decision."

With the steps given by Wang Kun, Cui Mingcai finally spoke: "This matter is as Qing intended, let's hold a court meeting to discuss, you can retreat."

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly salute and leave the hall.
