Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 1054

Chapter 1054 Aftermath (2)

"Feng Mingwen is still too young." Zhang Xingcai said hesitantly, "Even if he is in the army, he might not be able to convince a veteran."

"Let's not talk about recording ministers and regents. I'm afraid there will be many veterans who will object."

After a pause, Zhang Xingcai couldn't help but sighed when he saw that the emperor was a little unclear:

His Majesty is still too kind-hearted.

"Your Majesty, think about it. Li Zhengfang is the assistant minister, and he has not been able to record his affairs. However, Feng Mingwen is young and lacks qualifications, but he has become the head of the important ministers."

"How many people will criticize? This will not only make people feel that His Majesty is nepotism, but it will also be harmful to Feng Mingwen's reputation."

"Therefore, the time has not come, and Feng Mingwen should not be easily allowed to record the affairs of the minister."

After hearing this, Ah Dou felt that what the queen said was very reasonable, so he nodded, and then said regretfully:

"Feng Mingwen's talents are extraordinary, and his ability to govern the army and the people is impressive. It's a pity that he never thought that such a young man would become his shackles."

The queen's eyes flashed, then she touched her big belly and smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, Feng Mingwen is still young, and there will be opportunities in the future."

A Dou didn't hear the meaning behind what the queen said, so he thought about it honestly, and remembered that Feng Mingwen was just as old as himself.

Then he said approvingly:

"What the queen said is true, he is still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

As soon as the words came out, Ah Dou frowned a little:

"Li Zhengfang is untrustworthy, and Feng Mingwen is too young. According to the empress, who can take on the big responsibility in this dynasty?"

Zhang Xingcai seemed to have expected it, and asked confidently:

"Why must someone record the affairs of the book?"

A Dou was at a loss for words when he heard the queen's question, and he said in a low voice after a while:

"If no one records the affairs of the Shangshu, what should happen to the affairs of the Shangshutai?"

"Shangshutai has its own Shangshu order to handle all matters. If your majesty is afraid that the Shangshu order will not be able to convince the public, you can ask Feng Mingwen to take up the affairs of the Shangshu with other positions."

"Ping Shang Shushi?"

"That's right. Feng Mingwen's qualifications are not enough to record the official affairs, but if he is allowed to be involved in the official affairs, it is understandable."

Lushang Shushi and Pingshang Shushi are not the same thing.

Lu Shangshushi refers to the command of Shangshutai, and Shangshuling, the nominal chief official of Shangshutai, must also be under it.

The person who records the affairs of the Shangshutai also has the final right to interpret the decisions of the Shangshutai.

Pingshangshushi refers to participating in the government affairs of Shangshutai, who can make suggestions on various decisions of Shangshutai, but cannot decide the final decision of Shangshutai.

It can be said that although Pingshang Shushi has a high status, it lacks one of the most crucial rights than Lushang Shushi.

Aside from other positions, in terms of handling the government affairs of Shangshutai, Pingshangshushi and Shangshuling are almost at the same level.

A Dou couldn't help but praise loudly when he heard the Queen's arrangement for Feng Mingwen:

"The queen has a way!"

Then he continued to frown: "But there is still no suitable candidate for the person who recorded the affairs of the minister..."

The queen caressed her forehead and sighed:

"Your Majesty, you can just let Jiang Wan and Feng Mingwen negotiate and deal with matters concerning Shangshutai. If there are differences, His Majesty can decide on his own."

"So, what's the difference between whether there is a recorder or not?"

Adou was shocked when he heard what the queen said:

"Is this okay?"

"Why not?" The queen looked at the emperor with eyes like candles, and said quietly, "Could it be that your majesty is afraid that he will have to deal with too many political affairs in the future and will not have time to play?"

A Dou was startled, waved his hands again and again, and said embarrassingly:

"Nothing, nothing! How could I have such an idea?"

Queen said earnestly:

"Your Majesty, the father-in-law has gone, and no one will be able to shield us from the wind and rain in the future. In this world, we must rely on ourselves."

As soon as the father was mentioned, A Dou felt a little guilty:

"How could I not know what the queen said? Restoring the Han Dynasty and returning to the old capital, Xiangfu has already completed half of it for me, and I will not disappoint the late emperor and Xiangfu for the remaining half."

"The first emperor and his prime minister, Huang Yang, knew each other well, and they would be happy for His Majesty."

The late emperor and Xiangfu Gao were unhappy, and A Dou didn't know, but at this moment, when the little fat man remembered that Xiangfu had passed away, his heart was full of sadness.

The next day, the Son of Heaven ascended to the imperial court and announced to all his ministers that the prime minister had died of illness in Chang'an.

At the same time, an edict was issued, from the emperor down, all the officials in the court, all in plain clothes, mourned for three days, and cried to the north.

When the news reached Jincheng, the people in Shu were crying and crying out for the Prime Minister.

Just when the whole country of the big man was immersed in sadness, some people secretly cheered up, only saying that the opportunity had come.

Jincheng, General Hussar's Mansion.

"General, we have a visitor."

Li Ping, who has been idle for a long time, is dressed in plain clothes and looks sad.

He took the greeting card from the servant, opened it, and saw that the visitor's name read "Guanghan Li Miao".

He couldn't help but let out a "huh":

"What is the meaning of Li Hannan's visit at this time?"

"Does the general want to see him?"

"What about others?"

"Still guarding outside the mansion gate."

Li Ping looked at the dark night outside. At such a sensitive moment, and taking advantage of the weather, this person might have ulterior motives.

He waved his hand and casually threw the greeting card on the table: "No see!"

"No."

The servant was about to turn around, but Li Ping didn't know what he thought of, so he picked up the greeting card again, and pondered for a while:

"Forget it, let him in."

After a while, Li Miao, led by his servants, entered the living room.

Before he saw Li Ping who was sitting on the master's seat, he bent down deeply:

"Li Miao pays homage to the Protector of the Central Government."

Although Hussar General is a heavy general, in fact Li Ping's most important status is the position of the Central Guard who governs the Chinese and foreign military.

Li Miao's title is obviously because he has done his homework before coming here.

Li Ping didn't intend to get up, but just stretched out his hand to usher in a seat:

"Mr. Li, please sit down."

Li Miao quickly thanked, and then sat up.

After the servants brought tea, Li Ping asked, "I don't know if you are visiting late at night, but what's the matter?"

At this moment, Li Miao looked up at Li Ping.

Bringing a little bit of chilly wind blowing in from the door and window cracks in the living room, the burning candle flames danced frantically.

The candlelight is on and off for a while.

It made Li Miao unable to see Li Ping's real expression clearly.

He only saw the other party sitting there with his knees supported, his back still straight, like a hill.

The whole person looks solemn, tough, and arrogant.

The candlelight cast his shadow on the wall, writhing like a ghost.

Li Miao swallowed, with a flattering smile on his face:

"Zhongduhu, Miao came this time to congratulate Zhongduhu."

"Congratulations?" Li Ping had a strange look on his face, "The prime minister passed away, and the whole country is in grief. Why is there any joy?"

"It is precisely because Zhuge Liang is dead that there is a happy event!"

Li Miao stretched his neck and leaned towards Li Ping:

"The first emperor Yong'an Palace asked Zhuge Liang and Zhongdu to protect and assist the emperor. However, Zhuge wanted to monopolize the power, so he formed a clique and excluded dissidents."

"There is a way that many mouths can make gold, three people become tigers, and the emperor is young, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and credulously believe in slander. Zhongdu Hukong has the name of assisting the government, but there is no such thing as assisting the government."

"Although I am of unknown origin, I am deeply angry at what happened to the Protector of the Central Government. Fortunately, God has eyes, Zhuge Liang died of illness, and all the officials in the court, regardless of their status, have never been protected by the Protector of the Central Government."

"Nowadays, the government and the public are in turmoil, and people's hearts are uneasy. Everyone looks up to Delong and hopes that His Holiness will preside over the overall situation. If the Central Guard stands up at this time, he will calm people's hearts and calm the inside and outside."

"The emperor is delighted, and the ministers support him. This side can be regarded as the minister who assists the government."

After talking for a long time, Li Miao felt a little dry in his mouth. Taking the opportunity of toasting and drinking tea, he secretly observed Li Ping.

Unexpectedly, Li Ping was still sitting upright, and the flickering candlelight could not clearly illuminate the expression on his face.

It's just that Li Miao looked at the layout in the living room, but he was extremely sure in his heart.

Not to mention anything else, just for these candles, even wealthy families would not dare to burn them like this on weekdays.

That is, Li Ping relied on his son Li Feng, who had a great relationship in the Xinghan Society, so he had the means to get so many candles to use as candles.

It can be seen that Li Ping's extravagant style has never changed over the years.

If he is really willing to listen to Zhuge Liang, he should at least change his style a little bit and become simpler and more honest, shouldn't he?

He was thinking secretly, only to hear Li Ping's low voice:

"Li Jun said that he is an unknown person, and he is too self-effacing. When the late emperor entered Yizhou, when Li Jun was celebrating Zhengdan, he reprimanded the late emperor for breaking his promise in front of all his ministers."

"He even dared to say that he was strong enough to help Liu Jiyu. His boldness shocked everyone. What does it mean to be unknown?"

Li Miao hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Zhongdu Hu has won the prize."

It was one of the most proud things in his life to reprimand Liu Bei for his breach of trust and survive.

Li Ping said it face to face at this time, it really tickled Li Miao's itch.

But Li Ping asked:

"Mr. Li has the guts to ask me what I should do in order to persuade the emperor to return me to my old position and regain my assistantship?"

Li Miao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and secretly said that it was as I expected, that the guard of the central government had long wanted to come back.

So he quickly replied:

"I'm not talented. I thought about it a little bit before I came here. It's just a glimpse. It would be an honor if I can use it for the Central Capital."

"Mr. Li does not need to be modest, but please come."

Li Miao cleared his throat and said:

"Lu Lu (nephew of Empress Lu, who took charge of the Imperial Army after Empress Lu's death) and Huo Yu (son of Huo Guang) may not have the heart of rebellion, and Xiaoxuan (Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty) is not good for being a king who kills ministers."

"Why did the rulers and ministers kill each other later? But because the ministers are afraid of the king's coercion and the king's fear of the minister's hope, so the monarch and the ministers will be suspicious of each other."

"Zhuge Liang is the son of heaven, the 'Father of the Prime Minister'. One man can command the soldiers of the whole country, and the wolf looks at the tiger. Doesn't it make the monarch always fear?"

"There is a saying that 'the five are not on the border'. Anyone who is a loyal minister has to worry about the danger of the emperor! Now that Liang is dead, we are secretly happy, because the Gein clan can be all."

Although Li Ping could hold his breath, he couldn't help but gasped when he heard Li Miao's words.

Li Miao is a sinister and vicious villain!

The so-called Zhengdan reprimanded the first emperor back then, if Zhuge Liang hadn't interceded afterwards, I am afraid that he would have been sent to prison by Yousi and executed.

Regardless of whether Zhuge Liang is as he said, he shouldn't be the first to jump out and say such words when Zhuge Liang's bones are not cold.

This person's temperament is really cold and ruthless.

If the Son of Heaven was really moved by these words, and he was charged with such a serious crime, then the Zhuge family might have to be executed?

What kind of deep hatred does this Li Miao have with Zhuge Kongming?

The living room was quiet.

After a long time, Li Ping asked in an erratic voice:

"I remember, Mr. Li is from Guanghan in Sichuan, right?"

Li Miao was a little confused about Li Ping not answering what he said above but asking this question instead:

"Return to the Central Guard, that's right."

"Guanghan, is that where the clan of the Li family is located? Back then, the Three Dragons of the Li family were well-known throughout Shu. The Li family indeed had many talents."

No wonder Li Miao tried so hard to discredit Zhuge Kongming.

Over the years, the clan of the Li family has really turned into a real family heirloom.

Even apart from arable land, I can barely maintain my reading.

The foundation is almost gone, can you not hate it?

Li Ping fixed his eyes on Li Miao:

"I remember that among the three dragons of the Li family, one dragon is your younger brother, but Mr. Li is not among them?"

Hearing this, Li Miao's face immediately turned purple.

When the Li family of Guanghan was at its most glorious in the past few years, there were three people named Xiangshu, and they were also called the three dragons of the Li family.

But there is no Li Miao in the Three Dragons, but there is Li Miao's younger brother. The reason is that Li Miao has a wild personality, speaks freely, and does not cultivate moral character.

When Li Ping mentioned this matter, it was tantamount to poking the deepest scar in Li Miao's heart.

"Chuhu, what do you mean by that?!"

Li Miao stood up suddenly and asked angrily whether he could bear it or not.

"I mean, let you go!"

Li Ping also stood up suddenly, and said sharply:

"You bastard! What are they all about! The matter between me and Kong Ming is also something that pigs and dogs can comment on?"

Whether it's fighting or hating, Kong Ming and himself are both assistant ministers entrusted by the late emperor.

Whoever loses and who wins is a battle between two tigers.

Even if he loses power again, he is still a defeated mountain tiger. How can he be with pigs and dogs like Li Miao?

To think so badly of him, Li Ping, is simply deceiving!

Li Miao ran out of the Li Mansion with his head in his arms. Li Ping sat on the chair blankly, his back, which was originally as straight as a mountain, suddenly collapsed.

"Gone, Kong Ming, you're really gone!"

Li Ping muttered to himself, and the look on his face was both sad and angry.

"How could you just leave like this?"

His voice gradually became shrill, "You are gone, who in the world can use me? Who dares to use me!"

"Kong Ming, you can't be so unreasonable. You are obviously younger than me, so how can you leave before me?"

While talking, Li Ping slammed his fist on the desk hard, knocking the teacup so that he jumped up, and the splashed tea wet the table.

But seeing him weeping, gritting his teeth, his face began to distort:

"Without Kong Ming, Li Zhengfang is hopeless in this life! Hate it!"
