Chapter 0325: The Monarch and the Ministers Conspire
When the prince and Wang Fu returned to the palace, the hundred officials had already left, and the guards guarding the palace gate saw the prince's frame, so they immediately opened the gate, and were about to bow down, when they saw Wang Situ who followed the prince and came together, and they had not received any news about the release of Wang Fu, they were dumbfounded, and even forgot to pay respects, and hurriedly blocked the road.
Seeing that they were blocking his path, the prince was furious and rebuked sharply: "Wang Situ has come to meet the Son of Heaven, how dare you stop it? ”
The guards immediately gave way and saluted the two of them, the prince was still a little angry, but Wang Fu didn't think so, the two walked in like this, and just walked outside the hall, they saw Song Dian hurriedly walked out, saluted the two of them, and said, "Meet Your Highness, meet Situ Gong!" ”
"Husband Song, I really can't hide everything in this palace, Situ and I just entered the palace, and you already know about it?"
The little fat man said, Song Dian just smiled humbly, didn't dare to straighten his waist, and said, "Your Majesty is waiting in the palace..."
The two walked into the main hall, the unpleasant smell of herbs made Wang Fu frown, and when he walked into the main hall, he saw the Son of Heaven who was sitting on the bed, reading a little comfortably, the two bowed and greeted him, the Son of Heaven slowly raised his head, glanced at the two of them, and said with a sneer: "Wang Jun, it seems that Tingwei's food is not bad, I haven't seen him for a few days, but I have been a little blessed..."
"The prince personally went to Tingwei to order, how dare Tingwei's people be difficult ministers?" Wang Fu's words became a little respectful, but his face was still not afraid, and the Son of Heaven pointed to the side and said, "Sit..."
Wang Fu walked a few steps, suddenly stunned, quickly stopped, looked at the prince, the prince sat next to the Son of Heaven first, Wang Fu then sat beside him, seeing Wang Fu like this, the Son of Heaven squinted his eyes, waved his hand to the prince, and said; "You go back first... You haven't been to school for three days! ”
The little fat man was completely stunned, what was the situation, first to give a seat, and then to drive himself away? Since he wants to let himself leave, why do you want to let him sit down, do this more, but although he complained very much in his heart, he didn't dare to refute it, got up and bowed to the Son of Heaven, and left the hall with some anger, the Son of Heaven watched him leave, looked at Wang Fu, and looked a little more scrutiny in his eyes.
"Wang Jiexin, do you know why I hate you so much?"
"The minister knows."
"Why?"
"Everyone in the world hates ministers with the pride of their ministers, but Your Majesty, not because of this, your Majesty is not loved, all because your ministers are too smart."
"Oh, then do you know why I never had the heart to kill you?"
"It's all because the minister is too smart."
"Hahaha~~~" The Son of Heaven laughed loudly, but he was particularly jealous of Wang Fu in his heart, he saw that Wang Fu had changed, and he was also respectful to the prince, and he was a little happy in his heart, but he was afraid that this was all Wang Fu's feint, and he was still jealous in his heart, not to mention that he saw Wang Fu experience Tingwei and his party, and now he was still so arrogant, and the Son of Heaven was even more angry in his heart, he felt that his goal of suppressing Wang Fu had not been achieved.
And in this question and answer, Wang Fu said what was on his mind, but as a minister, can you guess what I think in my heart, is this worth it?
The Son of Heaven gradually became murderous towards Wang Fu, but he soon took it back, and the Son of Heaven smiled and said: "The great affairs of the country, if I leave your Wang Jiexin, will I not be tired, and there has been such a big change, I am very sad, and I don't know how to act..."
"Your Majesty, in the past, to recruit talents with virtue, although it was some wine bags and rice bags, but there were few actions to harm the people, as for now, to recruit people with talents, Han law, should be added, for the responsibility of harming the people, to impose heavy penalties, this is preliminary, after that, it is necessary to rely on the mail of the capital of various places, and in the future, listen to the order of the three publics, strictly investigate local affairs, and do it with Han law, this is the second, in addition, the science system should be modified...."
"The annual examination makes the officials anxious to succeed and make big mistakes, so they should take the four-year examination and the five-year examination, so that the officials will not act arbitrarily for the sake of early political achievements... This is also the third. ”
"Fourth, the supervision of officials, it is also possible to be in the same stream with the local officials, therefore, I hope that Your Majesty will order that in the future, if the people and the local people have grievances, they can file a complaint, and order the local assassins to inspect the counties once in the month, and the people who have been wronged will appeal, and the counties will be inspected once in the month, and those who have been wronged will be played, and those who have been wronged will be inspected, and those who have been wronged will be played, and the temples will be sent to the states and counties, and the people who have been wronged can appeal, in addition, if the people want to go to Luoyang, they will meet the three princes in person, and the pavilions in various places will be unstoppable, and the violators will be played!"
"Fifth...."
Wang Fu said what he thought and felt in prison one by one, a total of more than ten items, the Son of Heaven listened very carefully, he also had to admit that in the country's great policy, there is no one in the court who can compare with Wang Fu, especially in the grand strategy, the old lady, He Gong, Qiao Gong and other three princes combined, may not have his ability, but unfortunately, he still does not dare to trust him too much, nor dare to put all the major matters into his hands.
After Wang Fu finished speaking, the Son of Heaven immediately asked him to write down what Fang Cai thought and thought, Wang Fu picked up the pen and ink, and then wrote down what he had just said, word for word, the Son of Heaven picked up the paper, looked at it a little seriously, looked at it for a long time, and then put it down, laughed, took Wang Fu's hand, and said kindly: "I have a Marquis here, why worry more?" ”
Wang Fu nodded and said, "What Your Majesty said is extreme. Praise it..."
"Hahaha, okay, tomorrow I will hold a court meeting, and for the reform of scientific merit, I will follow what the prince said..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two chatted for a while, Wang Fu was about to leave, he slowly stood up, prepared to leave, walked a few steps, but stopped again, looked a little hesitant, thought for a long time, he still sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness once said that the world cannot be without ministers, this statement is too ridiculous, the court and the central officials, only Your Majesty is indispensable, and I hope that Your Majesty will pay attention to your body and take care of your life..."
Wang Fu pursed his lips, didn't say anything more, and left.
The Son of Heaven stared at him coldly, until he walked out of the room, the corners of his mouth suddenly overflowed a little bloodshot, the Son of Heaven stretched out his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and frowned, "Could it be that he found out?" How is this possible...."
Wang Fu walked out of the palace, looked up at the sky, and lamented, why is a son of heaven who pretends to be sick so anxious to establish authority for the prince, why is he so eager to submit himself to the prince, no king will tolerate the prince cultivating his power prematurely, let alone the majestic and strategic son of heaven? What's more, the smell of herbs in the hall doesn't look like it's made out of pretense at all....
Now, hundreds of officials may think that the Son of Heaven is deliberately pretending to be sick, and if he speaks like this, the Son of Heaven must be even more jealous of himself, but as a courtier, there are some things that he still can't help but say, Wang Jiexin, Wang Jiexin....
