Chapter 279 Li Zhaode's painstaking efforts!
The incident in Guanfeng Hall was a gorgeous performance. Yue Feng was the protagonist of the performance. Shangguan Wan'er, as a special audience, took all this into her eyes. At this moment, she finally understood the fact that she had always underestimated Yue Feng too much.
Yue Feng is definitely not an ordinary person, and it is even more impossible to be an ignorant person. Look at the people in this hall, everyone is Wu Zhou's identity. Why can Yue Feng show off this? Everything is because Yue Feng cleverly grasps the opportunity and cleverly takes advantage of various contradictions inside and outside the Wu Zhou court to do his job beautifully and maximize the benefits achieved.
No matter from which angle, Yue Feng showed extremely high talent. How could this be something that Cuju Lang could accomplish?
"It turns out that Yue Feng was not ignorant, but just did it on purpose!" Shangguan Wan'er thought so in her heart, and she couldn't help but have a likable poem about "A group of geese under the mountain". Now she also vaguely understood why Yue Feng wrote such a likable poem under such circumstances? He was keeping his strength and using it to avoid disaster!
As soon as she thought of this, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly became confused. She found that she had never understood Yue Feng. What kind of heart is hidden under the absurd and unruly surface of Yue Feng?
The ministers of Guanfeng Palace dispersed, Wu Zetian was in a good mood, and the ministers were in a big banquet. Li Zhaode went home drunk and returned home. When he returned home, Prime Minister Su Liangsi and Cui Yuanzong followed him and came directly to the door. The three of them met in the living room. Su Liangsi couldn't help but say:
"Li Xiang, look at what happened today is a very shameful and humiliating. We are loyal to the country and the country. However, Your Majesty regards us as a major concern and insists that Yue Silang, a child, directly slap us in the face! The so-called purging of Luoyang is simply to use the people's wealth and ointment to rebuild the capital of God for Your Majesty. It is a huge amount of money and I don't know how much in the future!
Wu Zhou had just established a country and had a very weak foundation. The people in the world were in trouble and the people could not even live a life. Your Majesty still had to build a large amount of construction. This is a disaster for the country!" Su Liangsi said.
Li Zhaode had no intention of drinking at this time, nor was he the decadent and lost as before. He sat upright in the main seat, his expression was very calm, which was very calm. It was Gu Jing Bubo. Faced with Su Liangsi's excitement, he said:
"Su Xiang, Cui Shangshu, this matter is known. In fact, it is not a big deal. It's just that Your Majesty is a little willful and wants to purify Luoyang City. What kind of big construction is there? Luoyang used to be the Eastern Capital, and it was true that His Majesty came here. The scale of the city has doubled in the past ten years, and there will inevitably be many problems!
Since Yue Silang is a Luoyang Order, he can discover these problems and think of solutions. Moreover, his solution is not to use the money from the treasury, but to use the power stake to donate funds and crowdfund the country, so that the country can bear the minimum pressure. What's wrong with this? Two adults, is it like this, you guys carefully savor it?"
After Li Zhaode's statement, Su Liangsi and Cui Yuanzong looked at each other. They never expected that Li Zhaode had this attitude. Wasn't this the first thing Li Zhaode had instigated?
Yue Feng gave Wu Zetian the memorial. Li Zhaode was the first to jump out and object. Moreover, his words were fierce and he obviously acted like a desperate attitude. What's going on now? Li Zhaode's attitude turned a big turn and actually spoke for Yue Feng?
Cui Yuanzong was a straightforward person and couldn't help but say, "Li Xiang, what do you mean? I heard what you said, and after fighting with us for so many days, it was all in vain. As a result, we were rude. The one with the surname Yue was a loyal minister and a capable minister? We have become mediocre people?"
Li Zhaode smiled and said, "Don't rest as angry, this is not what the adults think! In the current situation, we need to keep a low profile. When it comes to keeping a low profile, it is also very interesting to keep a low profile. If we, the old guys, become deaf and mute, cannot hear our voices in the court, it is not called keeping a low profile. We will be completely finished. From then on, Wu Zhou's court will have nothing to do with us. If we want to revive Li Tang, it will be a daydream, and it is absolutely impossible!
So, sometimes, it takes means to hide your strength and hide your strength. Just like this time, no matter how you look at it, the old ministers are embarrassed. What is this? This is to hide your strength and hide your strength and let the world see that our old ministers Li Tang are old and can't do it anymore. Even a small county magistrate who is not tired of it can't beat him. Isn't this just right? I have lost face and made His Majesty successful. At this moment, His Majesty is extremely happy. What else do you want to have a big banquet for guests?"
When Li Zhaode said this, Cui Yuanzong was speechless. Su Liangsi also heard the trick on the side and couldn't help but say, "Li Xiang, you have hidden me so hard. If you had known this, why would we work so hard? This..."
Li Zhaode said: "Your Majesty is suspicious. He has always had a grudge against our old ministers in Li Tang. This time she did it on purpose, but in fact she was following the flow and trying to test the will of our old ministers.
We are old and have no power, but we are not willing to give in and our spirit is still there. However, when we are old, the dynasty has changed, and the prestige is no longer the same as before! If we fight with Your Majesty, the contradictions will inevitably intensify and be unfavorable to the country and the country.
But now we are back in a crushing defeat, Your Majesty is smooth sailing, and all the villains in the court will succeed. Your Majesty will definitely think about the good things of our old ministers! We are so annoying that we have too many old bones, but not too little! I see that after Your Majesty ascended the throne, he is quite talented and wise. Who are the ones who really want to do the job for Wu Zhou? Can the Wu family members do it?
Can those minions under the Wu family, like Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen and others do? None of them can do it. We have to rely on people like us to turn back!"
Li Zhaode's remarks were so full of silence that Su Liangsi and Cui Yuanzong suddenly became enlightened. Cui Yuanzong clapped his hands and said, "Li Xiang is really a good plan. Recently, Your Majesty intends to transfer Lord Lou back from the northwest! Lord Lou is a pillar of the country, and his virtue is highly respected and no one can match. Not to mention, the Wu family's children are very worried about this and encourage the censors to oppose it together. Your Majesty is hesitant for this!
I believe that after experiencing what happened today, His Majesty will make a quick decision. Lord Lou’s return to Beijing should be a foregone conclusion!”
Su Liangsi was also overjoyed and said, "Old Mr. Lou returned to Beijing? Then wouldn't he be appointed as the candidate for the Zuo Prime Minister?"
Li Zhaode and Wu Chengsi fought against each other, and Li Zhaode wrote to Wu Zetian, making Wu Zetian doubt Wu Chengsi, thus eliminating his position as the left prime minister.
The position of the left prime minister was empty, which attracted the covetousness of many people. The old minister of Li Tang naturally hoped that there would be a respectable person to take over. Among them, the most favored candidate was Lou Shide!
