Volume 2: The Eighth Route Army's Festival Envoy - Chapter 17: Yanzhou's New Deal (4)
Pot of old wine, a plate of dried radish, the emperor sat in front of the couch and poured himself a drink, everyone was driven far away, the Son of Heaven issued a strict order, without calling those who dared to enter the palace without being called to kill without mercy. This made the palace eunuchs who had served the martial arts emperor for two years very surprised, and the emperor had also issued such edicts on weekdays, but most of them were when the front hall was discussing politics, and now everyone in the palace knows that the eunuchs and palace maids are not allowed to be present when the Son of Heaven discusses the important political and military affairs of the military state, and sometimes it involves key military aircraft, and even the close-fitting Huangmen knows and will be driven out. For this, the palace attendants are gradually getting used to it; However, recently, the lord stayed in the dormitory with his mother, but drove out all the attendants, which is too weird......
"Chenhua, what do you mean by Xiufeng...... "Calling his wife Concubine De Xun's maiden words, Guo Wei grumbled while drinking stuffy wine.
"It's been two years since I was in power, and the matter of being the prince has been dragged on, and the ministers in the court have been knocking on me one by one for two years, isn't it all because of Wang Xiufeng? The ministers of the inner dynasty knew that it was I who made my brother respect and support the meritorious hero, and the people of the outer dynasty did not know what was going on, and they thought that I was still a thief in my fifties, and wanted a biological prince......"
"Look at you, you talk nonsense when you drink, you are the emperor - how can an emperor call himself a thief?" Concubine De reclined on the couch and said strangely.
"I just don't understand, what does Brother Xiufeng want? After so many years, one rolled over from the sword bush, even if he couldn't trust the king. Can't you still believe me? He's not a person who doesn't know the overall situation, and that day in the palace, I thought he had figured it out. Now, after all, he has not really established the monarch as the prince, but he has been crowned the king, and he will change the team of the prime minister...... He wants gold, silver, treasures, land and goods, I can give him anything, but the prime minister is a state official weapon - even I can't use whoever I want to use in politics, how can Xiufeng turn the two mansions into a hall of words? β
Listening to Guo Wei's chatter. Concubine De sighed: "The older you get, the more confused you become, Brother Xiufeng's temper is a little tougher on weekdays, but how can he embarrass you in front of outsiders in the court?" According to what you say today, it is a summoning historian and a full suit. Don't you think it's weird at home? β
A few words suddenly blocked Guo Wei's mouth, he frowned and was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "You say, Xiufeng this time." Are you planning to never see me again? β
Kaoru sighed softly: "His stubborn temper, the right thing, do you want him to turn back?" β
Guo Wei sighed: "I have become the Son of Heaven, but the old brothers have all shared with me to this point. Isn't this a trick on people? β
Concubine De smiled faintly, took the emperor's hand, and said, "I am a woman." I don't understand your militaristic affairs. But according to me. It's not Brother Xiufeng who really has a relationship with you. The one who is really not of the same mind as you is the one who is really not of the same mind. β
Guo Wei's expression became solemn: "...... That's why I complained about Xiufeng, at such an important moment, he shook his shoulders and picked his son, Fan is good in terms of literature, Li Gu can manage money, Wang is still young, and Old Man Feng is an old thief who has pretended to be confused for half his life, he shook his hand like this, Zhongshu didn't even have a person who could deter and dissuade the capital, and you also know my body and bones, Jungui has just entered the court, how can he manage such a situation? β
Concubine De was speechless for a long time, and only after a long time did she say softly: "Since you have seen Jungui, don't doubt it anymore, the person who is the emperor can't be as hesitant as ordinary people, according to me, these things, you should also hand over these things to Jungui to take care of, he is also a person who has been through ups and downs for a long time, Qianyou tragedy, he is not less injured than you, these things, he may not be able to take measures......"
Guo Wei was silent for a moment: "Sighing, is it really irretrievable?" β
"The history is like iron, and the words that have been planted in the living notes, can they still be changed?" Concubine De gently held Guo Wei's hand holding the pot, looked at her husband without blinking, and asked in a low voice.
Guo Wei's beard curled: "Tang Taizong can change it, but I can't change it?" β
Concubine De couldn't cry or laugh, broke the emperor's hand and snatched the wine jug, and said: "After all, it's a rumor, people just read it, and no one said that they really changed it - besides, such a note in the history books is not saying good things about Tang Taizong......"
Guo Wei looked at his wife in a daze, and sighed faintly for a while: "That's it, that's it, since Brother Xiufeng is begging for benevolence, I will allow him to be ......."
β¦β¦
At this moment, in the palace of Prime Minister Wang Cheng in the southern city of Bianjing, it is a busy scene, the servants and maids in the mansion are holding the lamps all night to pack up the boxes and cages, and the staff and strategists of the Prime Minister's Mansion have all been dismissed, and the study room, which was the busiest before, is deserted at the moment.
"Bring all your rouge gouache ring jewelry, you can bring as much as you can, other counties and counties are not as good as Jingshi and Du, there are no such luxuries in the poor countryside, and there is nowhere to buy them when the time comes."
Wang Jun's old wife and eldest son also died in the Qianyou Rebellion, at this moment his wife Di Shi was still married after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, very young, only in his early twenties this year, but his personality and temper are very good
Di Shi commanded the maids to clean up while his face was full of hesitation: "If you don't do a good prime minister, but you have to run to other counties, I think you are really old and confused!" β
Wang Jun glanced at her, and snorted coldly in his nostrils: "What do you know?" Don't leave now, waiting to be driven away in the future? β
"Even if you want to leave, you have to go in style-" Di Shi did not allow it, and said against him: "Won't you be able to resign from the office?" Anyway, it is better to seal the two towns and go to Shandong, than to be demoted like this? Your emperor brother is separated from you again, many years of love, isn't the title of a prince stable? β
Wang Jun snorted, raised his head and disdained to answer.
Di Shi took an inch, raised his voice and said: "If you go out like this, you will go to the local area, which of those feudal ministers and county magistrates will look at you with their eyes?" If you want a life without anything, you can get by, but I can't! β
Wang Jun shook his head slowly and said sarcastically: "Resign." Glory to the seal, do you think this is a good road? The affairs of the court, the woman knows a fart......"
"Now that the filial piety is dead, Shang Ying wants to return to Shang Yu to retire, is there such a good thing?"
"Although I am powerful for a while, when it comes to meritorious deeds, can I compare to the strong Qin VI Shangjun Wei Ying? Chai Rong seems to be loyal, benevolent and filial, but his instrument pattern is thousands of miles away from King Huiwen? My old brother is already a dead man. Looking strong and healthy on the outside, do you know how many years he can live? When the time comes, a will to hunt and kill will be sent to Shandong, do you want to hang yourself or do you want to be sold as a slave and a prostitute by the government? β
A scathing question made Dick even more annoyed: "...... I don't know what you're talking nonsense, you and his brother Lao Tzu I. Is he so good at it? β
Wang Jun flicked his sleeves: "If it were me, I would be able to do it, do you know why I don't look down on him?" Chai Jungui, this kid is too much like me in terms of heart, and this kind of person is acceptable. If you are a king, you must be a mean and arbitrary person? If you want to keep your descendants alive, how can you pin your hopes on him? β
Di Shi was stunned: "If this is the case, you are depreciating yourself like this, won't he chase and kill?" β
Wang Jun replied coldly: "The thing I disdain to do in my life. It is to kill and beat the water dogs, which is the work of cowards who are not confident in their chests. Chai Rong may be a tyrant and a single husband. But that kid is never going to be a cowardββ!!!! β
β¦β¦
Outside the Qianyuan Palace. The bell rings. Zhongshu ordered Feng Dao to walk slowly up to the main hall on crutches, inside the main hall. Above the Danqi, Guo Wei, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, wore a crown of heaven and a silk cannon, but his face was a dead gray color.
"Old minister Feng Dao, please see the king, long live my emperor, long live, long liveββ"
Feng Dao leaned on crutches and knelt down tremblingly, Guo Wei waved his hand and said: "Lao Linggong is an old minister of the four dynasties who rode a horse and a sword to the palace in the forbidden, from today on, the rules of kneeling and worshipping will be waived when I see me......"
Feng Dao thanked him, sat down on the seat brought by the chamberlain, and waited for Guo Wei to speak.
Guo Wei sighed and said: "Old Linggong, Wang Xiufeng went to the palace yesterday to see me, and he was very domineering, and he wanted me to remove Fan Zhen Li Gu and replace him with Yan Yan Chen Guan, what does Lao Linggong think?" β
Feng Dao's eyebrows moved, and he slowly spoke: "The ministers are old and decayed, the prime minister is advancing and retreating, and the major affairs of the country are not allowed by one or two courtiers." Fan quality Li Gu, the pillar of the country, Chen Guan Yan Yan, has been in the pavilion for a long time, dredged the government, and took it as a phase, fearing that he would mislead the state affairs, what this old minister saw. However, this matter is not for the cardinal to decide, and His Majesty will judge ......"
"Xiufeng is domineering, Ling and I have been with hundreds of officials for a long time, so that the public thinks, how should I deal with it?"
When Feng Dao heard this, his demeanor became more calm: "It is the power of the saint to dispose of the prime minister, and the courtiers should not discuss it." However, the dynasty has not been in place for a long time, Wang Jun has been a meritorious hero for His Majesty, and has been in charge of military affairs for a long time in the center, although he has no form, his merit is indispensable, and his work cannot be lost, His Majesty's disposal should be based on state affairs, and the way of mercy and forgiveness of this saint should be degraded to other counties, and his title should be cut down, and he should not be killed lightly......"
Guo Wei nodded: "Ling Gong is a wise man, Xiufeng is in Zhongshu, although he is domineering, but the military affairs are thanks to his one-handed Qingtian, now if he goes, under the Zhongshu Gate, the old Ling Gong will have to work hard......"
Feng Dao owed his body: "Your Majesty Shengming." In the sixty-fifth year of the reign of Xiwei Gong, Emperor Wen resigned from his post because of his old age, and allowed him to go to the door of Zhongshu on three days. His Majesty has been treating his ministers with the courtesy of Duke Wei for two years, and the ministers are close to hanging the car this year, and they are really unbearable for His Majesty's simple responsibility. Under the door of the book, the pivot of the country, can not be the old and faint consul, for the country, His Majesty should select the meritocracy, let the prime of life, the king of Jin has been knighted, the government of the court, it can also be known, so Wang Jun goes, the central government is endless, Fan, Li, Wang Sanxiang, all can ministers, the minister is willing to retire to the mansion, leisurely travel under the forest, enjoy the rest of the year......"
Guo Wei smiled bitterly: "Ling Gong has this heart, I have known it for a long time, but I have been uncertain recently, Ling Gong wants to retire, and it is not at this time, the monarch has just been crowned king, and everything has not yet been decided, I still expect Ling Gong to take care of my life for me......"
"The old minister doesn't dare, and I ask Your Majesty to rest the dragon body and think of the subjects of the world......"
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin, the deacon in front of the palace, strode up to the hall: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wang has arrived, and he will make a decree outside the palaceββ"
Guo Wei nodded: "Take the king to the side hallβ"
Zhao
The order went, Guo Wei sighed, slowly got up and walked down the Dan: "Old Lingzuo, I want to personally send Brother Xiufeng ......"
Feng Dao owed his promise, and Guo Wei immediately walked towards the side hall.
β¦β¦
At this moment, Wang Jun changed into a green coat and hat, and the beard on his face was trimmed quite neatly. With an indifferent look, he sat in the side hall and gently sipped the tea served inside, indescribably leisurely.
Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the palace, the number one minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty slowly stood up, and watched Guo Wei walk into the hall from far and near.
"Stand down, keep the temple gates, and let no one come near!" Guo Wei instructed Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin promised to go.
"Brother Xiufeng, you used good means!" Guo Wei said coldly.
"Your Majesty sent his ministers out to patrol the river, and then urgently recruited Taiyuan into Beijing. and borrowed the hand of Yanzhou to set the storage position in one fell swoop, and when it came to the means, the minister was really embarrassed......"
Wang Jun's tone was as bitter as ever, and it was incompatible with the convicted outfit on his body.
Guo Wei sighed: "Can't you work together with the monarch?" Big brother's side. I'm counting on you to help you! β
Wang Jun looked at Guo Wei, shook his head and said, "I can't help my eldest brother...... If a person is unconscious, he will make a faint move, if I know that Li Wenge's return blow turned out to be a letter to ask the prince. It will never be decided to die. I always thought that this son was just a border county martial artist, but today I know that this person is sharp and introverted, and it is definitely not limited by the situation of the feudal town. Seeing the wrong person, doing the wrong thing. Lao Tzu admits defeat. However, the eldest brother will not admit defeat, even if he loses clearly, he will not admit defeat. Self-inflicted. Not alive. Since he doesn't know the general trend of the world. Who saved him? β
Guo Wei lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "You still refuse to let go of Li Huairen, although this person is tricky." It's just the nature of young people who refuse to let it go. If he plays it up, Brother Xiufeng, when the time comes, the public discussion between the DPRK and China will be turbulent, and I will not be able to suppress it. If you don't kill you for such a big crime as assassinating a foreign town, I'm afraid that the world will turn back. He handed over the captured people to Han Tong, which shows that this person is benevolent. Such a person, even if he is talented, is also a blessing for the court, saying that others have a different heart and I believe it, saying that he has a different heart, I don't believe it! β
Wang Jun smiled coldly: "Could it be that you and I had different intentions when Liu Zhiyuan was alive?" β
Guo Wei was speechless, and Wang Jun sighed: "The shape is forbidden, I have to do it!" β
Guo Wei sighed: "Brother Xiufeng is going, do you have anything to worry about?" β
Wang Jun shook his head: "Since you trust that fake son and are willing to hand over Jiangshan Sheji into his hands, I don't have anything more to say." However, Feng Dao's old puppet has not made a clear statement on the matter of the storage position so far, have you ever wondered why? β
"Ling Gong is cautious, this is not a matter of one or two days, it has been like this for many years, Brother Xiufeng, you and I have known him for many years, have you ever seen him say a word more about this matter?"
Wang Jun said lightly: "If you think so, I have nothing to say, but before leaving, I still have to tell you that Chai Rong may be very capable, but he is definitely not a Kyushu material!" β
Seeing Guo Wei's disapproving look, Wang Jun smiled and said, "The prime minister is domineering, but everyone in the court is sad." The king is arbitrary, but he wants to destroy the great things of the world......"
ββ¦β¦ Although Feng Dao's old puppet has long been old and confused, he is not blind yet......
Guo Wei sighed: "Brother Xiufeng, is there anything else?" The court meeting is about to begin......"
β¦β¦
