Chapter 1152: Sweeping the Petition Group
In the study, the father and son sat opposite each other, Wang Ning'an was expressionless, and the dog tooth was squeezing his eyebrows, scratching his ears and cheeks, looking like he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.
"I've been a big man in the field, commanding tens of thousands of horses, how can I still be like a monkey?" Wang Ningan broke the silence and reproached in a deep voice.
Dogtooth raised his eyebrows, his breathing became thicker, and his little temper exploded.
"Since the father asked, the child dared to ask, do you always know these things?" As he spoke, he pushed the file in front of Wang Ning'an, staring at his father with tiger eyes.
Wang Ningan just smiled indifferently, "I know everything you know, and I know what you don't know!" Sitting in my position, you need to pretend to be confused, but you can't be really confused, the tiger can still nap after eating people, your father has been in the dark for so many years, dare to nap? β
Wang Ning'an's tone was calm, but it was as sharp as a knife, and the dog suddenly found that his father's sideburns also had white hair, his hands trembled, he lowered his head silently, and said aggrieved and confused: "Dad, they are trying to frame your father, they want to force you to be a rebel and thief, and they want to usurp Your Majesty's country, these people should be killed, how can you not act, the child really doesn't understand!" β
Wang Ningan still didn't have any expression, he smiled slightly, "You let me move, in what name, and against whom?" β
"Of course, it is those who support Daddy's accession to the throne, from Wen Kuanfu, to Zhang Fangping, to the petition groups everywhere, slaughtered them all, and then swore to everyone that they would never usurp the country, so that they can win the trust of others, deter Xiaoxiao, and maintain the friendship between the monarch and the minister, master and apprentice, this is the right thing to do!"
Dogtooth spoke his mind, and his eyes were eager, hoping that his father would agree.
But after a while, there was no response.
Dogtooth's heart was half cold all of a sudden, suffered, does Daddy really want to usurp the throne?
How's that to be?
Is it to take care of the love of father and son? Or is it the friendship between Gu Nian and Zhao Shu? It seems to be a very difficult choice, Dad, don't give your son a problem, the dog is so anxious that he is sweating, he wants to find out with his father.
At this time, Wang Ningan suddenly coughed.
"You said that let me take an oath for my father, be a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and never change my mind for the rest of my life, it is not difficult to do, but have you thought about it, how can my father explain to the people of the world - since you want to be a loyal minister, why do you do so many things that weaken the monarchy? Was that the work of a loyal servant? β
Dogtooth was asked...... No matter what you do, you must have consistency, especially those in charge, if you change your orders every day, the whole world will be in chaos, and there will be no follow-up below.
Although Wang Ningan did not have the intention of usurping the throne, he set up a council, reformed the military system, shared power with the emperor, and clearly defined the powers and responsibilities of the monarch and ministers...... These things, compared with Wang Mang and Cao Cao, are bigger and firmer.
On the one hand, it restricts the imperial power, and on the other hand, it flaunts loyalty.
No matter how you look at it, it is contradictory, even if the momentum of the petition group can be suppressed now, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a group of speculators in the future to continue to encourage Wang Ningan to ascend the throne.
After all, the temptation of the dragon hero is too great, no one can withstand it, how can a business with a lot of profits, or even no profits, not do it!
After thinking about it a little, I also felt that my scalp was bursting, and it seemed that it was really difficult to do!
"Dad, the child wants to know, do you really want to be the emperor?"
Wang Ningan didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "If you get to that point, what are your plans?" β
"I ...... Of course, I can't betray my father, but I don't want to disappoint Your Majesty. Gouya'er lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "I may take some forbidden troops to protect Your Majesty overseas, occupy an area as a king, be a free and easy son of heaven, and leave the Great Song Dynasty, the world is big, there is always a place to settle down!" β
After the son finished speaking, Wang Ningan chuckled. The stupid boy is still Mao Nen, too naΓ―ve, at that point, where is there any paradise, Zhu Di can go to the West seven times in order to pursue Emperor Jianwen, if Zhao Shu runs overseas Tianzi, don't you immediately crusade against Buchen!
Even if Wang Ningan doesn't do it, the people below will rush to do it.
Throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of people who peep at the above who are happy and angry, and who act recklessly, Wen Yanbo is a superb, and after him, there are countless Wen Yanbo waiting!
"As a father, I never thought of being an emperor." Wang Ningan said slowly, and the dog's eyes immediately lit up! But I heard my father continue: "I am not the emperor, not for the friendship of the monarch and the minister, nor for the love of master and apprentice. β
"Why is that?" Dogtooth asked puzzled.
"For the sake of long-term peace and stability, in order to be able to jump out of the cycle of chaos." Wang Ningan said very seriously: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, do you understand this truth?" β
"Of course!" Dogtooth said in his heart, how can Dad take such a simple question to test himself?
"Dad, when I was a few years old, my uncle said that the most taboo thing in governing the country is tossing, repeatedly, there are no rules, just like frying fish, it will break the fish."
This is true, but governing the country is more complicated than frying fish after all, and it is obvious that you can't govern the country well just by relying on the experience and feel of the chef. If we want the national policy not to be repeated, first, we can't concentrate power in one person, and second, we can't divide power among many people, resulting in multiple orders, and a balance should be sought between the two. β
Wang Ningan is like a teacher, instructing his disciples and protΓ©gΓ©s.
Gouya'er thought for a long time before he said slowly: "Dad, the first situation you mentioned is that there can be no dictatorship of the Son of Heaven?" β
"That's right, throughout the ages, it is true that there is no shortage of heroic masters, but there are countless mediocre and incompetent, even selfish and tyrannical faint kings, and if you hand over power to them, the world will be in chaos."
"That's why Daddy set up the Council, hoping to establish a separation of powers with His Majesty, and form a check and balance between the Council, the Council and the Emperor?"
Wang Ningan bowed, "I don't want to usurp Zhao Song Jiangshan, because I don't want the descendants of the Wang family to be wise forever, in the same way, I can't put all my hopes on the descendants of the Zhao family, it has nothing to do with the friendship between master and apprentice, but for the overall situation of the world!" β
Dogtooth's face was feverish, and he finally understood why Daddy had rejected his offer.
Because once these people are dealt with heavily, it is shown that they will always be loyal ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, in that way, the power taken from the emperor will be ceded, and the fragile balance will be restored to the original state.
As the son of his father, he is really ashamed to not understand his father's mind so much!
Gouya'er silently lowered his head, "Dad, the child understands your old painstaking efforts, what to do, and ask Daddy to show me." β
Wang Ningan smiled, "Speaking of which, thanks to you, you can't condone the petition group, but you can't find a suitable breakthrough, and you will release the wrong news, and it's hard for my father to sleep...... Fortunately, Tianzhu's case broke out, and the financial forces, on the one hand, colluded with the traitors, and infiltrated the petition group on the other, so that the petition group wanted to support his father to ascend the throne, and it became a conspiracy, a conspiracy to usurp the throne! β
Wang Ningan picked up an order prepared by the political affairs hall, signed his name, and stamped it with a big seal!
"Take it, check the petition group, don't keep a single one! I don't need to be a speculator with ill intentions! The petition group, as well as the financial forces behind it, have swept away me! β
Wang Ningan spoke loudly, and the dog's teeth were excited to hear it, and his face turned red.
"Daddy, look at it! My son promises to do a good job! β
Dogtooth left the palace happily, took a deep breath, and the whole person was different.
As long as he doesn't have to be caught between his dad and his best friend, he has nothing to fear!
"Prepare the men and horses, act now!"
Gouya'er first rushed to the Xijing camp, mobilized 20,000 forbidden troops, and then called Cai Jing, the prefect of Xijing, and asked him to cooperate and work together to arrest the members of the petition group.
This time's actions are even more crisp than Kaifeng Mansion, Gouya'er is a decisive person, and Cai Jing is even more ruthless, ruthless, and ruthless.
The two of them joined forces and basically announced the tragic end of the petition.
Search! Scratch!
One can't be spared!
"Governor, there is still a group of petitioners in the White Horse Temple in Xijing, do you want to arrest them?"
There are subordinates who ask for instructions, and Gouya'er is puzzled, "What's so special about the White Horse Temple, I didn't say it, all of them are arrested!" The soldier nodded, but didn't dare to move, and Cai Jing laughed.
"That's the case, Master Buddha Yin of the White Horse Temple, and Mr. Shao Yong of Sanqingguan, both of them have organized a petition group, their identities are special, and the brothers are afraid of it, and it should be!"
"It turned out to be them!"
"You don't have to go, let me catch them myself!" β
Riding forward, Cai Jing followed closely.
Gouya'er came all the way to the White Horse Temple, and when he saw that the door was closed, he directly ordered people to knock the door open, and hundreds of soldiers rushed in.
At this time, the Buddha seal shook his fat figure and his face was full of horror.
He knew Wang Zonghan and immediately begged: "Shizi, Shiziye!" The old man has no quarrel with the world, how can the son of the world not miss the friendship of friends? β
"I think back then, Lao Wei helped the son of the world and the saint, and you all made a lot of money!"
In a hurry, Buddha Yin even said this.
Dogtooth gritted his teeth and smiled, "Buddha Yin, do you remember, do you think that if you have done something for me, you can be unscrupulous, and no one dares to care what you do?" I tell you, wishful thinking! Stop talking nonsense, take it! β
The soldiers rushed up and tied up the Buddha seal directly, this guy was too fat, more than 200 pounds, so he could only throw him in the car, and the other apprentices and grandchildren were tied up with ropes and became a long string, and they were directly escorted to the barracks to take care of them.
Just came out of the White Horse Temple, didn't go far, from another street, the people escorting Shao Yong also came. Both of them were gagged, and when they saw each other, they cried and screamed, and kept struggling, and no one sympathized with them.
Even Foyin and Shao Yong have been arrested, God, this time it's really going to accept people!
Wen Yanbo, who heard the news, was directly stupid, he suddenly ran to the Wen family ancestral hall in the backyard, and cried while drinking, even if it was a nine-life old cat, he would hang up this time......
