Chapter 0320: Wang Fu's Choice
When the prince reached the gate of Tingwei, he was immediately blocked by a soldier.
"Bold, the prince dares to stop it now, do you want to plot chaos?"
Wang Yue rebuked loudly behind the crown prince.
The soldiers were startled, and hurriedly got out of the way, greeted the prince, and then asked with some hesitation: "His Royal Highness the prince, may allow us to ask Zhang Tingwei...", the little fat man did not embarrass these scholars, nodded solemnly, and said: "Hurry up." ”
"Yes!" A soldier hurriedly rushed into the mansion, Zhang Jian was sitting in the study, holding the charge of Wang Fu, and he was also a little helpless, as a member of the hundred officials, he hated Wang Fu very much, and he was also one of the officials who were most opposed to Wang Fu's implementation of the scientific merit system, but the problem was that these were the crimes of local officials, Wang Fu was at most an administrative fault, and he could not be sentenced to anything, at most, let him go home and live in peace.
But if he dares to make such a judgment, he is afraid that all the officials will not be able to tolerate him, and finally found the handle of Wang Fu, when he can be judged, you just dismissed his official position, and let him go back, how can this be done, so he will be locked up for more than ten years, recently, many ministers have come to him, all hoping that he can do the way for heaven and execute Wang Fu, but Zhang Jian does not dare, the Son of Heaven has not yet given an order, how dare he execute a Situ for no reason?
The fatal thing is that the Son of Heaven is still critically ill, the Son of Heaven has not recovered for a day, this court discussion can not be opened for a day, this matter can only be in his hands, has been dragging on, he has no way to deal with it, all day long to take care of Wang Fu, for fear that Wang Fu will have an accident, and he will also suffer with it, these days, he is also haggard, those ministers came to visit, he also took advantage of the edict of the Son of Heaven, directly closed the door to thank the guests.
The soldier ran out of the study in a panic and shouted, "Gong Zhang! ”
Zhang Jian stood up and was shocked in his heart, could it be that something happened to Wang Fu, he hurriedly walked out, looked at the panting soldiers in front of him, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" The soldier said, "The prince is here!" ”
"Prince??" Zhang Jian was stunned, isn't the prince of the Han Dynasty a child of more than ten years old? What is he doing here, but, fortunately, it is not Wang Fu who has happened to him, Zhang Jian thought, suddenly, he realized that the prince actually appeared here, that day, isn't it??? He suddenly had a worst-case plan in his heart, he frowned, and walked out towards the gate, his steps hurried, and when he arrived at the gate, the Son of Heaven was indeed waiting.
"The minister let the prince wait for a long time, and if he is rude, he hopes that the prince will forgive his sins!" Zhang Jian hurriedly bowed and said.
"No need, you can take me to Wang Fu quickly!" The prince said impatiently.
Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment, thought in his heart, and cautiously inquired: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has an edict that no one is allowed to meet the sinner Wang Fu..."
"I came to see him, it's the meaning of the Son of Heaven, you quickly get out of the way for me!" The prince threw away the jade pendant in his hand, Zhang Jian hurriedly took it, nodded, and said, "The minister will lead the way for the prince... Please! Zhang Jian took the prince and walked to the house where Wang Fu was held, walking on the road, Zhang Jian was still thinking about the prince's intentions in his heart, he led the prince to a room and pushed the door open.
There was no light in the house, there were a few soldiers standing, there was no decoration in the house, only a bed, Wang Fuzheng was lying on the bed in a decadent side, saw Zhang Jian, the soldiers hurriedly visited, and said helplessly: "The prince still refuses to eat, these days are all up to us to persecute, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid...", Zhang Jian nodded, and looked at the prince beside him.
The prince frowned, and a foul smell came from the room, because there was no sunlight, it seemed a little damp, he waved his hand, and said, "You go out first, Master Wang, watch them, and don't let them come forward..."
Wang Yue nodded, then stared at Zhang Jian and a few soldiers, Zhang Jian bowed to the prince, then walked out with the soldiers, closed the door, the little fat man slowly walked to Wang Fu's side, frowned, and said: "Prince, I came to see you..."
Wang Fu was still lying quietly, not moving, and the little fat man said helplessly: "I just went to see the Son of Heaven and also went to your mansion, you don't have to worry, your disciple is doing well in the mansion, but I'm a little worried about you... However, with me, no one is going to bully him..."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince..."Wang Fu's hoarse voice came out, and the little fat man nodded and said, "Wang Jun is still worried about those people? ”
Wang Fu didn't reply at this time.
"O Maharaja, you have always been pretentious, why can't you figure it out at this time?" The little fat man shook his head, recalled the words taught by his father, and continued: "The previous Han Dynasty was ruled by virtue, and the officials were outstanding in virtue, so naturally they would not make measures to harm the people, but now, it is the rule of officials, but if there is no corresponding Han law to sanction it, how can it continue to be implemented?" ”
"Prince, although you and I have never met, but whether it is He Yeye, or Xun Shi Jiashi, they have mentioned you, they are extremely impressed with you, He Yeye even said, your talent, no one in the world can compare, I have respect for you, your various measures, I also very much agree, this time there is a fault, but this is not your fault, it is those officials, why are you so decadent because of this matter?"
Wang Furuo was a little touched, got up, turned to look at the prince, he suddenly changed a person, emaciated, decadent, looked at the prince a little sluggishly, his eyes were deep, he asked; "How can I kill more than a thousand people, what qualifications do I have to stand in the world?"
"Prince, my father once taught me the truth of great benevolence, since the temple began to implement your measures, I don't know how many people have survived and saved tens of millions of people, how can you deny all the merits of the prince because of a thousand people?"
"This is what the Son of Heaven wants you to tell me?"
"No, I went to my father this morning and wanted him to release you, but unfortunately, he didn't agree..."The little fat man said, touching his cheek.
Wang Fu stared at the little fat man's cheek seriously, and then he saw the redness and swelling, Wang Fu pursed his lips, but did not speak, the little fat man continued: "Prince, you can rest assured, I will rescue you, now, Father's health is not good, you may not know, after you were imprisoned in Tingwei, Father fell ill, and now he has not recovered, and the court is in chaos..."
When Wang Fu heard this, he asked a little nervously, "Your Majesty is all right?" ”
"Well, I don't know... However, he will definitely get better..."
The little fat man shook his head and said: "Prince, I hope that you can think about how to sanction this situation, the system of scientific merit, fundamentally speaking, still has more advantages than disadvantages, I think, it should continue to be implemented, but I have to find a way to restrict, I don't have the talent of the prince, I can only hope that the prince can come up with a favorable measure..."
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you and I don't know each other, why do you want to do this to me?" Wang Fu suddenly spoke.
The little fat man slowly stood up, his expression became solemn, and he said: "I hope to be able to become a wise monarch like Your Majesty, he created a prosperous era, and this prosperous era cannot be stopped in my hands in the future... Father has you, to create such a prosperous world, I hope that in the future, I can also get your help, the Han Dynasty, there can be no one else, but not without Ming Gong! ”
Wang Fu looked at the little fat man in front of him blankly, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
