Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 418 Message from the Deceased
Looking at the "old friend" Zhao Jizha in front of him, Luo Youdu couldn't help but laugh.

There are many people in Sichuan and Shu known as Wolong Zhuge, and Zhao Jizha was the first one he met back then.

In history, Zhao Jizha was killed by Meng Chang directly, because the thing he did was too ugly.

Meng Chang asked him to send troops to fight against the soldiers of the former dynasty. Before he set off, he was as vigorous as an ox. He took his wife and concubine to travel around the mountains and rivers, and laughed at Jiang Wei's lack of plan in Jiange. He wrote to Chaoyan overnight, falsely claiming to be ill, requesting to be dismissed from office and return to Beijing to recuperate.Without waiting for Meng Chang's reply, he sent his own soldiers to escort his wives, concubines and luggage back to Chengdu first, and then slipped back to Chengdu with his own troops.

Meng Chang was furious and killed him.

Due to the appearance of Luo Youdu in this era, he deliberately showed his weakness to the enemy, and used Zhao Jizha as an outsider to command the insider, causing civil and military discord at the front line, and forced Qin and Fengzhou to surrender.

Zhao Jizha fled back to Chengdu, throwing all charges to Han Jixun.

Zhao Jizha's statement was unexpectedly approved by Meng Chang, and he held it in high regard as before.

Luo Youdu couldn't help being amused when he got the news. Meng Chang's proficiency and ability to be far away from the virtuous and capable can be regarded as the best in the world.

Luo Youdu always thought that he and Zhao Jizha would have no further entanglements. He didn't want to receive a letter from Jingzhou Governor Sun Guangxian soon after he got the news of Meng Chang's sudden death. Sent in front of myself.

The real situation of Meng Chang was naturally told by Zhao Jizha.

Zhao Jizha was a bit obsequious, the original sufferer in front of him had reached a point where he couldn't look up to him.

Zhao Jizha's life was pretty good these years, Meng Chang still trusted him and let him serve in the court.

But after Meng Chang was forced to surrender by Luo Youdu and became the laughing stock of the world, he was embarrassed to see others, hid in the palace of Shu, overeating to vent his anger, and got bulimia.

In the next few years, my body quickly lost shape, and my physical strength became worse and worse.

Originally, I was able to travel in the mountains, play in the water, recite poems and have fun, and climb mountains on foot.Later, I gradually needed someone to carry me. In the end, I even started panting after walking a few steps, so I didn't want to go out.

As for major national affairs, he was even more inattentive in handling them, and handed them over to his son Meng Xuanzhe and his confidant Wang Zhaoyuan.

Now Zhao Jizha's position is very embarrassing.

Zhao Jizha had personally experienced the power of the Central Plains, and after returning to Chengdu, he became a steadfast landlord and representative of the faction.

Back then when the envoys of the Liao Kingdom made trouble when Luo Youdu ascended the throne, it was Zhao Jizha who took the lead in saying that the Central Plains should not be easily offended and that the Khitan envoys should be handed over to the Central Plains.

Meng Chang was already afraid of war, so he made this happen.

While Meng Xuanzhe was young and energetic, Wang Zhaoyuan even compared himself to Zhuge Liang, and said that he would raise [-] elite soldiers to flatten the Central Plains.

When these two hawks got together, Zhao Jizha's life was difficult, he was suppressed and rejected, and he was demoted and punished to serve as the governor of Qianzhou.

Qianzhou is located in the mountains, surrounded by mountain people, it is very easy to cause chaos.

Zhao Jizha didn't want to suffer, and was so angry that he declared sick and went back to his hometown to recuperate.He left his confidant in Chengdu, waiting for the chance to make a comeback.

What didn't want to wait was the news that Meng Xuanzhe forced the palace and Meng Chang died of anger.

Zhao Jizha was worried that he would be liquidated, and he didn't want to hide his name, so he left Shu decisively, contacted his old friend Sun Guangxian, and came to Luo Youdu.

Zhao Jizha said indignantly: "Your Majesty, Meng Xuanzhe's Huangkou child is a newborn calf, and he doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. And Wang Zhaoyuan is a fearless villain, Yelang is arrogant, Sichuan and Sichuan are like this, it's all the fault of these two."

Luo Youdu didn't answer the words, but was thinking about something.

This is not surprising to him at all about the current situation in Sichuan and Sichuan.

These years, Luo Youdu's mind is not in Sichuan, which doesn't mean he doesn't understand it at all.

As the emperor of the Central Plains, Luo Youdu took some measures to appease the subordinate countries, and had many correspondences with Meng Chang.

Luo Youdu admired Meng Chang's lying flat, and he hoped that he would keep it up.

And Meng Chang's overeating, fat like a pig is well known.

From Luo Youdu's point of view, it is obesity and binge eating disorder. These two major symptoms will cause many sequelae, among which cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the most deadly.

For this reason, Luo Youdu persuaded Meng Chang to take care of his health more than once, and he worried that because of himself, Meng Chang would not survive the day when he sent troops to Sichuan and Shu.

I don't want to be so...

Although it was all caused by Meng Xuanzhe's coercion, Meng Chang's poor physical condition was also one of the reasons.

Luo Youdu said: "In this way, Meng Shu is going to unite Lingnan Han and Jiangnan to send troops to fight against our dynasty?"

Zhao Jizha said: "It's likely to be the case. When the Khitan came to persuade the former king to be an enemy in the Central Plains, Wang Zhaoyuan proposed that he lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and capture and kill the second minister and traitor to offer. Meng Xuanzhe was Wang Zhaoyuan's student, and he was mentored by him. The influence is extremely heavy, and he is determined to restore the Great Shu. Before, there was a king who suppressed him, and now he has no scruples."

There was a smile in Luo Youdu's eyes, and he said, "How many people know about your departure from Sichuan?"

Zhao Jizha hurriedly said: "Not many people know that foreign ministers have been enemies with Wang Zhaoyuan for many years, and they know that this person has bad character and is cruel to political opponents. He came from Shu disguised as a businessman."

"That's good!" Luo Youdu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Mr. came all the way, it's been hard work. Mr. has a special status, and it's not easy to show his face for the time being, so let him live in Han Dianshuai's house for more than a month. I'll let him take good care of him." Sir, I will not treat you badly."

Although Zhao Jizha said that he was not talented, he was a fine person, and hurriedly said: "The foreign minister promises to stay at home and not cause any trouble to His Majesty."

Luo Youdu nodded in satisfaction, and waved for Han Lingkun to take him down. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to find Xue Juzheng.

Xue Juzheng received the foreign guests through the enthronement ceremony, and won the respect of Luo Youdu with his outstanding performance. Now he is the Minister of Rites, the second in command of the Ministry of Rites.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Xue Juzheng saluted meticulously and said hello.

Luo Youdu said: "Meng Chang, King of Shu, died of illness, you must know about it."

"I know!"

Xue Ju was working in the Ministry of Rites, and the news of Meng Chang's death was first notified to the Ministry of Rites by the Shu Kingdom's envoy in Bianjing, and then Luo Youdu was notified by the Ministry of Rites.

Luo Youdu said: "Since the king of Shu surrendered to me in the Central Plains in the past, he has always abided by the etiquette of being a minister and worked hard without complaint. This time his accidental death is really a great loss to our dynasty. I want to send one person to Sichuan to express condolences, and canonize Meng Xuanzhe as Lord of the Western Shu Kingdom. Looking at the Ministry of Rites, Xue Qing is the only suitable candidate. Would Xue Qing take this trip?"

Xue Juzheng was strict in conduct, he always worked hard without complaint, and said: "Your Majesty has orders, and I must obey them."

Luo Youdu nodded in satisfaction, and reminded: "The death of Shu Lord Meng Chang is something strange. You don't want to get involved in the right and wrong of Shu, even if you notice something strange, you have to pretend to be ignorant. In short, remember your mission and canonize Meng Xuanzhe. , and mourning Meng Chang, the rest don’t ask, don’t know anything, go and come back quickly!”

Xue Juzheng knew what he said when he heard this.
