Because of the illness of the Son of Heaven, the ministers who were at a loss, when they heard that the Son of Heaven was going to hold a court meeting, their hearts were extremely excited, it seems that the Son of Heaven is getting better, God bless the great man, the strict handles of the wells in various places, this stopped, and Yangqiu also withdrew the garrisons he sent out, however, he still instructed the people of Xinzhou, if you see Huanglong in the future, don't bow down, kill if you can, I Yangqiu will have a big reward!

The hundred officials gathered outside the palace, and the Wen Ren attack also came, and there was no Wang Fu, the hundred officials were led by the Wen Ren attack, led by him, and walked into the palace, their nervous hearts slowly calmed down, and asked each other about the latest news, as for the matter of the prince personally rushing to Tingwei, many people also knew, and Wen Ren Attack also discussed with the surrounding ministers, mainly talking about the condition of the Son of Heaven.

Jia Xu was the only one, sitting quietly at the end, without saying a word.

Song Dian supported the Son of Heaven and slowly walked into the temple, the Son of Heaven pushed Song Dian away, walked to the top with some calmness, sat down, and looked at the hundred officials, the Son of Heaven's face was still a little pale, and it seemed that he had not recovered, the hundred officials suddenly got up and greeted them together, the Son of Heaven nodded to them, and they sat back in their places, all looked at the Son of Heaven with some concern, and got up first when they heard the attack, and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know if it has ever been better?" ”

Seeing his worried look, the Son of Heaven nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just a minor illness..."

Baiguan breathed a sigh of relief.

The Son of Heaven looked at Cai Yong among the hundred officials, the Son of Heaven did not speak, but Cai Yong also understood what he meant, he got up and said, "The minister has a play!" ”

"Accurate!"

Cai Yong told the ministers about the southern tour, because Cai Yong hurried back and did not meet the guests, the hundred officials only knew that Wang Fu was at fault and was escorted to the court lieutenant, but as for what mistakes he made, the ministers still didn't know, at this moment, they all pricked up their ears to listen, Cai Yong started from Jingzhou, and successively said the reasons why there were frequent civil uprisings in the south, in addition, he also said the common points of these officials, as well as their motives.

The officials were a little stunned, they thought that Wang Fu had committed a big mistake, but they didn't expect that it would be such a big mistake, thousands of people's lives, no wonder the Son of Heaven would be angry, the Son of Heaven loved the people so much, when he heard such news, he must be angry, this Wang Fu was also, it caused such a big mistake, and thousands of people died under the new policy that he had been advocating on weekdays.

Now, it's hard for Wang Fu to survive!

The ministers were extremely happy, Yuan Feng did not hesitate, got up immediately, and wanted to ask for the letter of the king of the festival, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, the Son of Heaven had already gotten up, looked at the ministers coldly, and said: "My negligence has caused such a catastrophe... cough cough cough...", the Son of Heaven coughed violently again, the ministers changed color, and Yuan Feng immediately changed his words and said: "Your Majesty, this is all thanks to Wang Fu to bewitch the king, it is not Your Majesty's fault!" Your Majesty, don't say that! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch through the ages, you must not be like this!"

"The ministers are guilty!"

The hundred officials shouted one after another, and then, they pointed the finger at Wang Fu, Yuan Feng said: "Your Majesty, this is all thanks to Wang Fu's traitor, this thief bewitched the king, bullied hundreds of officials, implemented a new policy, and killed more than 1,000 people, such a big crime, must not be let go, it should be beheaded, raided the house, Your Majesty, please cook the king's letter!" If you don't cook, it's not enough to comfort the hearts of the people in the world!! ”

Yuan Feng said loudly, and the ministers responded one after another and began to scold Wang Fu, this time, the Son of Heaven unexpectedly did not cover up for Wang Fu, but nodded and said, "How can I tolerate Wang Fu cruelty to the people?" I ordered the court lieutenant to behead Wang Fu and raid his house, and kill all those officials!! And find out who colluded with them, and never let go of a thief who mutilated the people!! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Baiguan cried and shouted.

This day, finally came, Wang Fu, the hundred officials dreamed of killing him, these ten years, they don't know how to survive, finally, we loyal and virtuous people still defeated Wang Fu, the thief, his death is coming, the excitement in the hearts of the hundred officials, can no longer be described in words, if it is not for the Son of Heaven is still sick, I am afraid that they will now hug each other and celebrate.

Seeing the officials crying, the prince looked at the Son of Heaven and was about to speak.

"Your Majesty..."

A person walked up, and the ministers saw that it was Sikong who heard the attack, and the person attacked with crutches, and walked to the center with some difficulty, bowed to the Son of Heaven, with tears in his eyes, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, although the king Fu is evil... However, his credit is not small, over the years, he has worked day and night for the Han Dynasty, going to Yangzhou, Dazhi in the south, going to Youhe, relief to the victims, water transportation, galloping, grain and grass, education, these merits, can't they save his life? ”

"He set up a scientific service, but how many people in the world have benefited from this, and when disasters are encountered everywhere, it is these officials who are born in scientific merits who go to the disaster relief for the first time, how can we punish Wang Fu for the crimes of some traitors? Your Majesty, he is close to the age of sixties, and he has worked hard for the Han all his life, Your Majesty... You can't kill it..."

Hearing the attack, he cried.

For a while, the ministers were silent, they never thought that among the ministers, there were people who spoke out for Wang Fu, and the one who spoke out was still the worst relationship with Wang Fu, and even fought with him on the spot.

He looked at his ministers one by one, trying to gain their support.

But no one was willing to help, but they all looked away from him.

Seeing his appearance, Taiwei Zhang Wen couldn't help it, got up, and said; "The minister agrees with Sikong's proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Cai Yong then said.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

In total, only Zhang Wen, Cai Yong, Cui Wei, and Cao Song were willing to listen to Wen Rengong's words, and the rest of the ministers were a little angry at them, and the Son of Heaven frowned and said, "Even if he has merit, he has committed such a big crime this time?!" I won't spare him! Don't say it again! ”

The Son of Heaven was extremely firm on this matter, he was bent on executing Wang Fu, and seeing that the Son of Heaven was this attitude, the officials were happy and agreed.

"Father... Uh, Your Majesty! ”

The prince, who was sitting on the side and listening to the courtiers' discussions, slowly got up and said a little nervously.

The Son of Heaven turned his head and looked at him, and the ministers also hurriedly looked at the prince, the prince has never spoken in the court since he accompanied the court, this is the first time, what is the prince for? The ministers guessed in their hearts that the prince looked extremely nervous, his eyes kept looking in the direction of Jia Xu, Jia Xu was a little puzzled by him, and he was puzzled, but he didn't get up or say anything.

The crown prince glanced at Jia Xu, then looked at the Son of Heaven, and said, "Since Your Majesty wants to execute Wang Fu, then the assessment system he set up cannot be kept, but is this so?" ”

"Yes!" The Son of Heaven said coldly.

The prince glanced at Jia Xu again, and then said; "In that case, what about the officials who came from the previous scientific merits and passed the examination?"

"What about Wang Fu's previous policies?"

"Many of the policies before Wang Fu are beneficial to the temple, and I will not abolish them, but this subject assessment must be abolished!"

That's how it should be, Baiguan thought to himself, and couldn't help but nod.

The prince said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, those officials who were born in the scientific assessment cannot be kept, they are all protégés of Wang Fu, since they want to copy Wang Fu all over the door, how can these protégés and former officials be let go, they should all be arrested and killed!" ”

The Son of Heaven pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's how it should be!" All of them are beheaded! ”

The ministers smiled and nodded, and suddenly, they were stunned, thought for a moment, their faces changed greatly, Yuan Feng was the first to rush out, shouting: "No!! Your Majesty, impossible!! ”
