Chapter Twenty-Three: Ten Years of Sharpening the Sword

decade

A person can pretend to be stupid for a while, but pretending to be stupid for a lifetime is as difficult as climbing to the sky, Wen Yong spent ten years to restrain all his light, and played a good role as a faint king. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When Wen Yong was in his early twenties, Li Yunzhen, the old fox, finally couldn't stand the erosion of the years and died, although Li Yunzhen was not very director, but his checks and balances on Wen Hu were very obvious, as a veteran who had followed Taizu since the beginning of the previous dynasty, most of the local officials were his disciples and former officials, and even Wen Hu did not dare to forcibly remove him from office.

However, Li Yu's real death is not entirely a bad thing, before he died, he handed over an excerpt signed by all the county officials of the Great Zhou, asking Wen Yong to govern himself!

Wen Hu has accumulated military merits for decades, but Li Yunzhen has accumulated fame for decades, and all the local government officials have forced the court to make Wen Hu unable to parry, Wen Hu can ignore it, or replace the local officials, but this is bound to offend the huge gate valve group behind these officials, just like the chairman of the later generation did not dare to say anything about the removal of all directors and company employees, Wen Hu did not have the courage and ability, forced by the pressure from inside and outside the government and the opposition, coupled with being confused by Wen Yong's obedient appearance, after several thoughts, Wen Hu finally agreed to Wen Yong's pro-government.

Of course, Wen Hu still has the power to hold most of the soldiers in the world, the power of the regent, the court, the praise and worship, the sword to the palace, and even in private, Wen Yong also calls Wen Hu as his brother, and his power is still in full swing

Feeling that the Great Zhou still had the strength to resist him, Wen Hu changed his previous face of being loyal to the monarch and auxiliary government, excluded dissidents from the court, and the ministers who did not want to belong were gradually sent to be purged, Wen Yong did not have the slightest intention of stopping it, but silently marked the Wen Hu party in his heart.

Today, the balance that has been maintained between Wenyong and Wenhu for ten years has finally been broken.

General Wan En came out of the column and said: "The minister heard that there is no immutable law since ancient times, and the military system of our dynasty inherited the previous dynasty, which has long been old, the imperial army has many orders, and the commander is not clear, and the local army has its own system, and does not respect the orders of the imperial court, so it will inevitably cause a catastrophe. ”

Wen Yong's heart tightened, of course it was a good thing to take back the local military power and strengthen the centralized power, but who would the twelve guards of the left and right be included in?

Da Sima is the highest military official in the central government. Similar to the "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses" in later generations, the modern "Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces", after all the military power in the world is collected, it will definitely fall into the hands of the old thief.

Is this to remove all resistance from the country?

Wen Yong couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, and under the burning gaze of the ministers, Huo Ran stood up and said, "It sounds so troublesome, I'll eat first when I'm hungry, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

In the past ten years, Wen Yong has vowed to do the faint king to the end with great enthusiasm, and the kung fu of playing Laipi has long been perfected, and he is familiar with it, and the ministers have long been accustomed to it. Even Wen Hu didn't have time to stop it, and Wen Yong had already run away.

returned to the inner palace, in private, Wen Yong was still worried, this kind of thing can no longer be done, if Wen Hu has no patience, he will be suspicious, and then ten years of hard work will be invalid.

At noon, while he was still having dinner with Li Xiao'e, a little eunuch walked in from outside the door and reported: "Your Majesty, Duke Qin is out asking to see you." ”

"You eat first."

Wen Yong said a word to Li Xiao'e, then put down the chopsticks in his hand and went out of the palace.

Those who served Wen Yong knew that Wen Yong was used to meeting guests in the study, and the eunuch took Wen Zhi over very early.

Wen Yong adjusted his face and entered the gate with a smile and said, "How come Brother Zhi has time to come to me today." ”

Ten years have passed, and Wen Zhi has also become a handsome boy with a strong appearance, with sword eyebrows and an ape-backed bee waist. Wen Yong couldn't help muttering in his heart, he did have a good skin.

Wen Zhi bowed down and said, "Meet the imperial brother." ”

Wen Yong helped him and said, "You and my brother don't have to be polite. ”

Wen Zhi looked left and right, got up and whispered, "This time I came for the court earlier. ”

Wen Yong's eyebrows sank, and he ordered: "Fu'an, you go out and close the door!" ”

The door of the palace was closed, and only Wenyong and Wenzhi were left in the study.

Wen Zhi asked, "Is my brother still worried about the retrieval of military power earlier?" ”

Wen Yong sighed and said: "I won't hide it from you, the power of cultural protection has swelled too much, and I can't rest assured." ”

Wen Zhi persuaded: "Brother Huang doesn't have to worry, it's not right for the military power to be returned to Wen Hu, the royal brother is young now, and what about Wen Hu?" The old thief is over the age of six, and the whole country is under pressure in military and government affairs, how long can he last? After he runs out of oil and the lamp runs out, the royal brother can take it back, and everything he has is just a wedding dress for the imperial brother! ”

Wen Yong muttered a little: "Under the expansion of power, how can Wen Hu allow me to continue to sit on the throne?" ”

Wen Zhi said with relief: "Local forces have been around for a long time, and the forcible annexation by Wen Hu will definitely cause turmoil in the government and the opposition. ”

Wen Yong nodded and said, "Brother Zhi is still insightful, and I already know it in my heart." ”

"It is the duty of the younger brother to be able to share the worries of the royal brother. In this way, the subordinate brother retired. ”

Wen Zhi bowed and left, Wen Yong looked at his departing back, slowly closed his eyes and said, "It's really hard for you, I can still say it so reasonably and justifiably by sending my lifeline to Wen Hu." ”

After resting for a while, Wen Yong got up and returned to the dining table.

The food on the table was still the same as when it left, and it turned out that Li Xiao'e had already put down her chopsticks and waited quietly for Wen Yong to come back. Seeing Wen Yong, Li Xiao'e didn't ask much, but just instructed the maid beside her: "Take down the food and give it to Your Majesty." ”

Sitting back in his seat, Wen Yong smiled and said, "Why don't you eat first?" ”

Li Xiao'e smiled lightly: "Your Majesty said that only when you sleep and eat together can you be considered husband and wife." ”

Wen Yong's heart warmed when she heard this, and she held her hand tightly.

Soon the meal was served again, and after Wen Yong hurriedly ate it, he instructed Fu'an: "Find Wen Jian and them to play, I must win them once today!" ”

Wen Yong's nonsense also lies in the fact that he formed a football team in the palace when he was bored, and pulled the eunuchs and guards to play football together when he had nothing to do. Fu'an had already seen the surprise, and skillfully sent his eunuchs to arrange.

After Wen Yong left, Li Xiao'e's personal maid who came over to marry complained: "The slave is really unhappy for the mother, the meal specially arranged for your majesty, your majesty just wants to play around, everything is swallowing dates, wasting a piece of good intentions of the mother." ”

Li Xiao'e chuckled: "Don't underestimate these people who accompany Your Majesty to mess around, if you little girl can seize the opportunity to become one of the side rooms, this body will be rich and worry-free." ”

Wen Jian, the commander of the Imperial Forest Supervisor, Wang Gui, the squire of the Yellow Gate, Wen Xin, the commander of the Su Guard, Zhengping Gongwen Zhao, and Anping Gongwen Xian, the names and backgrounds of these people have filtered through Li Xiao'e's mind one by one, and a big net has been quietly opened.
