Chapter 57: The Beijing Change

If Wang Jun's arbitrariness and ruthlessness can be tolerated, Guo Wei can still tolerate it, if Wang Jun's dictatorship is domineering, Guo Wei can still bear it, then this time, Guo Wei really can't bear it. The two prime ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Gu and Wang Pu, were carefully selected by Guo Wei and observed for many years, such as Li Gu, this person is generally educated, but it is pragmatic, governance matters, and at the same time, there is also affection and righteousness. This made Guo Wei even more important.

During the Five Dynasties period, the power and military power were sometimes separated, and sometimes they were combined, for example, Sang Weihan in the Shi Jingjiao period held both the positions of privy envoy and peace minister. However, in Guo Wei's view, power can only be concentrated in the monarch, and for subordinates, power should be dispersed. If Guo Wei is not the emperor, then Wang Jun and him should be good brothers for a lifetime. But now, Wang Jun is aggressive, so Guo Wei has to strike first.

The country, for the feudal dynasty, after turning the family into a country, if it is not done well, the country will be ruined. No matter who wants to put the monarchy in the air, it is something that Guo Wei cannot tolerate.

Looking at Wang Jun's distant figure, a cruel smile appeared on Guo Wei's face. This old brother has always put on a high-minded appearance, and few people can be looked at by him, and he is like a house slave to the courtiers. If it were a normal day, it would still save your life, but now that the enemy army is swarming, you can only use your brother's head to block the hearts of the turbulent courtiers.

The next day, Guo Wei suddenly issued an edict in the palace, summoning Li Gu, Wang Pu, Feng Dao, Dou Guzhen, Xiang Xun and other ministers, and also summoned Wang Jun. These days, although Guo Wei is not very obedient, but the soldiers are pressing, he can only support himself, listen to the military situation, look at the military map, and secretly mobilize the army.

Because of this, Guo Wei often summoned Li Gu and them. When Li Gu, Wang Pu and others received the holy message, they had no suspicion at all, so they hurried over. These people were all on duty in various departments, and the distance from the palace was also different, some arrived first, some came last. After Wang Jun arrived at the palace, he was placed in the side hall and waited.

This matter is also common, Guo Wei, as the emperor, must summon many officials every day, sometimes together, but more often, alone. Then the officials who meet Hou will generally be arranged to wait in the side hall. However, I waited for most of the hour.

And the palace at this time is lively. After all the ruling ministers came, Guo Wei said with tears in his eyes: "Wang Jun deceived people too much, looked at the king, and was too rude to me. You don't know that yesterday, he was still here, right here, asking for the positions of the two Aiqing, Li and Wang. ”

"Humph!" Guo Wei snorted heavily and continued: "He wants to get rid of all the officials around me and get rid of my right-hand man." Now, my son is outside Beijing, and he is also bent on cutting off the connection between our father and son. Last month, when I was unwell and temporarily asked Guo Rong to come to the capital, he was disgruntled. From ancient times to the present, how can there be a courtier who manages the important affairs of the military aircraft on the one hand, and also serves as the prime minister! What's more, he has also repeatedly asked to serve as the envoy of the important town. I remembered the old feelings, and repeatedly met his requests and complied with his wishes, but he was still not satisfied, and blindly greedy and unbridled. Who can be willing to endure such a monarchless monarch! ”

These ministers, Li Gu and Wang Pu were picked up by Guo Wei, and from Guo Wei's words just now, it can also be heard that an important reason why Guo Wei and Wang Jun are ready to turn their faces is for the sake of Li Gu and Wang Pu's official positions, and they want to retain their two talents. The two immediately stood up and pointed out Guo Wei's decision.

What about Xiang Xun? is an old subordinate who has followed Guo Wei for many years, and he is a person who has followed Guo Wei from birth to death and has a lifelong friendship. He also immediately agreed with Guo Wei's decision. Of course, on the one hand, he agreed because Guo Wei had made up his mind, and on the other hand, it was also because he and Wang Jun did not agree, Guo Wei got rid of Wang Jun, which was equivalent to getting rid of a big trouble for him. In fact, Wang Jun, a rather narcissistic person, did not have a very harmonious relationship with the high-level in the army, otherwise he would not have secretly written letters to the envoys of the feudal towns to protect himself, but these envoys presented the secret letters to Guo Wei. From this point of view, Guo Wei's connivance with Wang Jun may not be completely out of brotherly feelings. Perhaps, it is precisely because Guo Wei knows Wang Jun's mean personality very well and knows that he does not deal with the senior generals of the army, so he let him be a privy envoy, on the one hand, he can use him to suppress the local jiedu envoys, and on the other hand, lay the foundation for himself to restrain people's hearts and set an example for himself in the future.

Dou Guzhen is an old minister of several dynasties, and he knows the way of health preservation, in this situation, he rationally stood on the side of the leader Guo Wei and vigorously supported the punishment of Wang Jun.

But the old Feng Dao staggered and said: "Your Majesty, now that the enemy is pressing, I am afraid that the removal of the minister will shake the hearts of the army." At the same time, it also gives the other party an excuse. ”

As the saying goes: one hero has three gangs. Even if he is a mean guy like Wang Jun, there is also Wang Ba who looks at mung beans - when he looks at each other, he still has some power within the court. After all, he is also a dignified privy envoy, and there are still people who are willing to lean under the big tree to enjoy the shade. However, Wang Jun's ambition was too great, and in order to plot the position of prime minister, he often pointed fingers at Li Gu and others, and the group of people below often deliberately dragged Li Gu back, which made the implementation of Li Gu's decree discounted. No one who can become a prime minister is a fool. Li Gu and Wang Pu have long known that Wang Jun is doing the trick, and they have long hoped that Guo Wei can do something to Wang Jun. Now listening to Feng Dao's words with the meaning of opening up for Wang Jun, Li Gu hurriedly said: "The enemy is now, it is good to be united." If you can't work together, I'm afraid you will get twice the result with half the effort. At this critical time, if someone makes a bad one, it will be a big disaster. ”

In Li Gu's words, he kept saying "Long live unity", which was quite a bit of repaying grievances with virtue, but the last sentence forcibly changed the meaning of the whole sentence. Of course, it is good to be united, but what should we do if there is disharmony and jeopardize the good situation of stability and unity? Of course, it is to harmonize him, and only by excluding people with different intentions can we unite our minds.

Wang Pu is not as fancy as Li Gu, he thought that Li Gu was also helping Wang Jun exonerate, and he was a little anxious, fighting a snake would not die but suffer from it. Wang Pu said: "Your Majesty, Wang Jun is so arrogant, what is the difference between usurping power!" Please punish Your Majesty severely! ”

Wang Pu's words are just about things, and there is nothing brilliant about it. Xiang Xun pursed his lips, disapproving. His expression just made Guo Wei see it, and Guo Wei was not very satisfied in his heart, so he asked Xiang Xun's opinion.

Xiang Xun was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "The minister thinks what Master Li said is reasonable. is in a critical situation right now, if you don't use thunderous means to deter those villains who are plotting against you, I'm afraid the country will be in a difficult situation. Minister... The minister thought that he should be severely punished. ”

After all, Xiang Xun is a military general, and he is good at fighting on the battlefield, so he can't do this kind of political struggle, and he "ministered" for a long time before he summed up a sentence that was no different from Wang Pu. Sweating slightly on his forehead: he was actually the same as that sour literati.

Li Gu on the side had a flexible brain, and he could see that Guo Wei was a little unwilling, or unsatisfied, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, General Xiang's words reminded Weichen. Wechen thought of a question. Your Majesty, my lords, have you ever remembered that three days ago, Lord Wang Jun supported the battle left behind in Bianjing and the Chu army to fight to the death! But why did he suddenly want to usurp power now? ”

Dou Guzhen chuckled in his heart, he understood the meaning of Li Gu's sentence just now, "If someone makes it bad, it will be a big disaster", this sentence seems to be intended to frame him, but a few people present were stunned and didn't hear it. There is no in-depth digging and careful study on this topic, and there is no extension and comparison, drawing inferences from one another. Li Gu had to jump out and make his words clear. What is this was woken up by Xiang Xun, and when he said this, he was obviously trying to pull Xiang Xun into the water.

Sure enough, Xiang Xun expressed his support. I don't know if he didn't wake up Li Gu's original intention, or if he just wanted to hit Wang Jun, as for what reason he used, it didn't matter.

Xiang Xun screamed: "Oh, Your Majesty, this... Could this Wang Jun be... It's to take refuge in the Chu State. ”

Guo Wei, who was sitting on the throne, was obviously stunned, and he said hesitantly: "This... No way. Brother Wang is a little domineering, but as for the seller seeking glory, it shouldn't be enough. ”

Wang Pu and Wang Jun also had conflicts, and just now he insisted on severely punishing Wang Jun. His goal is to want Wang Jun to step down, and it doesn't mean much to him whether he is charged with "plotting to usurp power" or "communicating with foreign countries". The key issue is to take down Wang Jun as soon as possible. Wang Pu said: "No wonder... No wonder. Now that the Chu army is pressing, it is just a matter for him to stick to Bianjing. Why do you want to plot power, it's not that you want to stop Daquan in your own hands and take the opportunity to surrender to the Chu State. ”

may be due to the problem of nature, Wang Pu's planting did not hit the point. It's really for the sake of surrender, and you can surrender as a privy envoy, so why do you want to seize power? He did not realize that "attempting to usurp power" and "colluding with foreign countries" were contradictory in the current situation. As a matter of fact, changing "attempting to usurp power" to "dictatorship and domineering" and adding the crime of "colluding with foreign countries" is enough to punish the crime.

Guo Wei summed up with a heavy face: "I didn't expect Wang Jun to have an affair with Chu State in addition to being arrogant. Li Gu, you will send it to you immediately now, and put Wang Jun in custody, and the rest of the people will not care. At the same time, the edict was issued to the world to explain Wang Jun's crimes. Even if there is a scum like Wang Jun, I am not afraid of the Chu State. Summoning the world, I want to defend Bianjing to the death and fight to the death with the Chu State! ”

Why did Guo Wei give Wang Jun the hat of "connecting foreign countries"? First, if you kill Wang Jun by plotting to usurp power, it will cause relatively big political turmoil, and if you use foreign countries to kill Wang Jun, it will be easy to be understood. Second, plotting to usurp power is a crime of treason, and this crime is very big, and Wang Jun and his party will be investigated? As soon as it was investigated, Bianjing was in chaos. Third, one of the main reasons for the low morale of the Zhou soldiers now lies in the defeat of Dangshan, and now the reason for the defeat of Dangshan can be attributed to Wang Jun, not the famous general Guo Chong, and 80,000 Zhou soldiers. This is a morale boost.
