Vol 2 Chapter 782: Orthodox status (three shifts)

"If the emperor wants to move the northwest, he needs someone to help him stare at the northwest."
Liu Zhao said half and half, waiting for Master Li's response.
Master Li poured himself and drank himself. He raised the teapot to refill the cup. He sneered and said, "His Royal Highness means, let the old man stare at the Northwest for Your Majesty? Huh!"
Liu Zhao laughed, "The Northwest matter is very important, and improper handling may even endanger the country. Regarding the Northwest, you must be cautious. Why don't you and I join forces to follow the example of the Jiangnan Metropolitan Government and urge the father to establish the Metropolitan Government in the Northwest. The mansion is in charge of the military and administration of the Northwest region. Lord Li is willing to serve as the governor of the Northwest Metropolitan Government."
Master Li's breathing became heavy and his face changed again and again.
"The governor of the Northwest Metropolitan Government House?"
Liu Zhao nodded his head seriously, "Yes!"
The chief governor, the chief official in Xinjiang.
Although there is no such thing as a prince of cracked soil, there is a name of prince of cracked soil.
Under the rule of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, all military and political affairs are governed by the Metropolitan Governor.
Although he is a magistrate, he has considerable power.
Like the governor of the Jiangnan Grand Dudu Mansion, he was unwilling to change it when he gave him a letter of order. I am willing to stay in the position of the chief governor.
However, after Emperor Wen De completely resolves the internal worries of the court, he will definitely remove a group of Jiangnan officials.
Jiangnan will move before the northwest.
When the court moved south of the Yangtze River, there were not so many worries about the northwest.
Heavy troops are stationed in the northwest. If you don't treat it with care, it may cause mutiny. The consequences could be disastrous.
There were no heavy soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the navy was also established by Liu Zhao.
The imperial court wanted to move Jiangnan, and there was almost no resistance in the military.
The biggest resistance comes from the power of Jiangnan and the clans.
These resistances can be resolved sooner or later under the suppression of the court.
Master Li associates the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River. He said: "The old man can fight to go to the Jiangnan Metropolitan Mansion, why go to the northwest to eat sand."
Liu Zhao sneered: "Are the adults dreaming? Jiangnan is rich, and many of the adults' protégés are in Jiangnan. Sending adults to Jiangnan is not going to return to the mountains. In these years, adults have never run the northwest. Personal connections. Put the adults in the northwest to let the father rest assured."
Master Li laughed, and after laughing, he said coldly: "You and your majesty, your father and son, your Liu family really does not have a good person."
Liu Zhao chuckled softly, "If an adult wants to be an official of the Liu family and eats the food of the Liu family, he has to be under the control of the Liu family. Is it possible that the adults want to rebel?"
"A talented rebellion didn't happen in three years. The old man is not capable of rebelling. You don't want to let the old man take the blame." Master Li snorted coldly.
Liu Zhao folded his arms and asked indifferently, "How do you like my proposal?"
Master Li seemed to smile, "Does Your Majesty want to stare at the Northwest, or does His Majesty want to stare at the Northwest?"
Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Who do you think it is?"
"His Royal Highness is not small!"
"A prince without ambition is not worthy of being a prince." Liu Zhao said naturally.
Master Li asked again: "Does Madam Zhao know about this?"
Liu Zhao smiled badly, "Guess!"
Li was very angry.
"His Royal Highness tried to pull the old man aboard your thief ship, but he refused to show enough sincerity. Are you stupid as an old man?"
Liu Zhao had an indifferent attitude, "My lord can refuse to board my thief ship, you just wait for your father to unload you eight yuan, and you will be stinking for thousands of years. On the contrary, if you board the thief ship of your Highness, you may still have a chance to survive. , Re-enter the court and become a famous minister of generation."
Master Li hehe twice, "When you get on your thief ship, you may also find yourself in a different place, ransacking your home and exiled, and you will die."
Liu Zhao smiled, "Adults can take a bet, but in the end it will be a different place in the head, or a name that will last forever."
Scholars ask for their names.
Especially the name behind, it is impossible not to care.
I want to know how the history books would evaluate myself?
What is your own position in history?
Can it be compared to the predecessors, can it suppress the younger generations?
If he left the court hall sadly, he would hardly have a good evaluation in history books, and even later generations would never mention him.
A big regret in life.
However, working with Liu Zhao on his head?
Lord Li squinted his eyes, staring at Liu Zhao in front of him, and suddenly said: "The old man wants to see Mrs. Zhao."
Liu Zhao: "..."
mmp, the credit of my highness is not as good as that of a wife.
As a prince, or the eldest son of the eldest son, he was so miserable, he should really reflect on it.
Where did you fail to do well, or did you offend someone? For example, did you offend the author?
Liu Zhao said to Master Li: "My wife is unwell, so it is inconvenient to see the adults. Also, my Royal Highness and the wife are married."
Master Li laughed, "Sorry, the old man will not make any decisions before seeing Madam Zhao."
Liu Zhao yanked his teeth.
Master Li was happy, and it was so cool to see Liu Zhao deflated.
Liu Zhao narrowed his eyes, "Why do you have to see my wife?"
Master Li stroked his beard, "The old man has his own reasons. Is it possible that your Highness is afraid?"
Aggressive method?
Liu Zhao smiled contemptuously, "If you want to see my wife, you can't just want to confirm the thoughts of your Highness, and judge whether your Highness wants to use you as cannon fodder."
"Will your Highness let the old man be cannon fodder?"
Liu Zhao hehe sneered, "His Royal Highness can let you see his wife. Only after seeing him, I can't help you."
Lord Li was not afraid, stroked his beard, and said, "The old man is waiting for Madam Zhao."
Liu Zhao walked away.
...
Seeing Liu Zhao's return, Gu Jiu waved at him and asked, "Are you finished?"
Liu Zhao sat next to her and said, "He wants to see you."
"see me?"
Gu Jiu was surprised, "Why does he want to see me."
Liu Zhao sternly said, "The old fox probably guessed the situation in the northwest, not what Shaofu said. He may want to test you and inquire about the movement in the northwest."
Gu Jiu laughed, "He wants to see this lady, and it happens that this lady wants to see him too."
Liu Zhao frowned, "Do you really want to see him?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Cai Zhongshan and Xu Chengye hesitated, this lady needs to push them. Li is a suitable candidate. In addition, we don’t worry about Luhou, sending others to the northwest to stare at Luhou. They are not Luhou's opponents.
Even if it is hopeless, even the Wang Xiliang is hopeless, and he is not Luhou's opponent, almost falling to the ground. Now it seems that only Master Li can make a tie with Luhou. Moreover, with Lord Li's status and status, Luhou also respected him twice. It happens that your Majesty wants to move Lord Li. We should take this opportunity to bring the game of northwestern chess to life. "
Liu Zhao asked, "Don't you worry that Master Li would use us in turn to be a villain with Luhou?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Master Li is an orthodox scholar who pursues the righteousness, the emperor and the ministers, and the orthodoxy. Ninety-nine percent will not follow Luhou. He wants to be really willing to leave everything behind. Lu Hou will not beg for you, so he can get a dead end and be a traitor.
Compared with Ruhou, the biggest advantage is orthodoxy. You are the prince and the heir to the right. To Lord Li, you are the king. Luhou has no righteous status, and Master Li will only guard him, not betray him. "
"The implication is that although Lord Li is good at camping, he doesn't lose money in big festivals."
"Exactly! I believe he can keep the big festival. People in their 60s and 70s can't make a bet with their names behind them. Even if they win the bet, they will have the reputation of being a courtier."
Gu Jiu has already seen the importance that scholars attach to fame.
She is willing to take a gamble, betting that Master Li will not lose money during the festival.
Gu Jiu was about to get up to see Lord Li.
She reminded Liu Zhao by the way, "Should you send Yu Ge'er back to the palace to receive orthodox royal education? By the way, what is going on with royal education? When I come back, you can talk to me."
Liu Zhao said casually: "Imperial education is the same."
Gu Jiu gave him a white look, and led people to the back mountain.
Lord Li was very patient, sipping tea and admiring the scenery, waiting for Gu Jiu's arrival.
He was sure that Gu Jiu would come to see him.
The layout of the northwest seems to be Liu Zhao's personal decision.
However, Lord Li firmly believed that Gu Jiu must have written about this matter.
Liu Zhao alone could not reach the northwest.
Even if he could stretch his hand to the northwest, he would be slashed by Luhou.
Over the years, countless people have tried to send spies to the northwest.
In the end, without exception, the spies sent to the northwest were either beheaded or missing, and a few returned alive to talk about Luhou's discoloration.
However, Gu Jiu should be the exception.
Luhou would guard against Liu Zhao's spies, but he would not guard against the firm under Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu and Luhou have been doing business.
The firm's manager can obtain some news about the Northwest Army without deliberately inquiring.
Coupled with the establishment of express stations, news flows faster.
However, these news did not enter the court.
Ninety-nine percent of the news from the Northwest entered Gu Jiu's pocket.
Master Li was amazed.
The money offensive is truly powerful.
The dignified young mansion, which has been infiltrated by Gu Jiu for many years, was led by Gu Jiu's nose without knowing it.
Perhaps the Young Family Ling knew about it, but he didn't report it to Emperor Wende.
Mr. Li doesn't know if there is any money transaction in it.
However, Gu Jiu's approach gave him new ways of thinking.
Before Gu Jiu, no one had used this method before.
"I heard Master Li wants to see this lady?"
Master Li, who was trying to get absorbed, was interrupted.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, "Madam Zhao!"
Gu Jiu nodded with a smile, "I haven't seen an adult for a long time, and the adult's style remains the same."
Master Li stroked his beard and laughed, "I am old, I am old! Not as good as before."
"Master Li wants to see this madam, is it to confirm my highness's determination to run the Northwest?"
Lord Li was obviously stunned.
Immediately afterwards, he laughed again, "Hahaha... Madam Zhao speaks so directly, okay, and refreshing enough! The old man is about to talk with Madam about the Northwest."
"My lord please!"
