Chapter 40: Loyalty
After recuperating from his injuries in January, Wen Yong finally walked to the front of the court to meet with the ministers for a court meeting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the ministers congratulated, some government affairs that had been put on hold due to the war were reported by various departments, and Wen Yong made replies one by one with the political experience of the two lifetimes.
After nearly an hour, the accumulated government affairs came to an end temporarily, and the entire court fell into a strange silence.
In the whole Great Zhou, the most important thing was the war in the northern Xinjiang, but the ministers deliberately did not mention it.
Since you didn't say it, Wen Yong had no choice but to ask, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Northern Xinjiang war report has been sent back, you must have read it, what do you think?" ”
The ministers below looked at each other, and Fuwei Hou Longen, who was in charge of staying in the capital, came out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Hu people are menacing, and Da Sima was ordered to be in danger, although he failed to win completely, but he also repelled the attackers. ”
Luo Huali said: "The minister seconded the proposal, Da Sima worked hard and made great achievements, although there were small defeats, it did not hurt the overall situation. ”
The members of the Wen Hu Party came out to intercede: "The ministers seconded the proposal, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it is not easy for the Great Sima to get rid of the Hu people, and if he is punished, I am afraid it will make the heroes chill." ”
In the face of a group of ministers who bowed down in the court, although they had long known that this would be the case, they all took advantage of the situation to issue an edict to appease Wenhu and trick him to return to the court. But when it came to witnessing it with his own eyes, Wen Yong still couldn't help but be angry in his heart, there was no loyal and upright minister in the Manchu Dynasty, and even the imperial historian who sprayed the sky and the earth hid at home and refused to go to court.
Just when Wen Yong sighed that there were no loyal ministers in the country, the next doctor, Chen Shangle, straightened his official hat, and solemnly came out and said loudly: "Wen protects the country, it should be killed!" ”
The words were full of fear, Wen Yong was physically and mentally comfortable when he heard it, and waited quietly for him to continue, Chen Shangle ignored the angry eyes and reprimands of others, and continued to say loudly: "Protect yourself and assist the government, connect the party henchmen, and exclude dissidents." Fighting strong soldiers, wielding authority, wolves and tigers, such national thieves will not die, I am afraid that the Great Zhou will fall! Recently, Wen Hu turned out to be selfish, causing wolf smoke to spread in the north, and the blood of the Great Zhou soldiers stained the territory. Your Majesty should fight with the power of the gods, issue an edict to kill this thief, and return the Great Zhou Qingming! Today, the ministers are willing to use the blood of the ministers to call the hearts of the civil and military loyalists! ”
Chen Shangle's words hit Wen Yong's heart word by word, and this excitement was really indescribable. Just when Wen Yong forgot to call out, a light cough came from the Yellow Gate Squire Wang Gui.
Wen Yong's heart suddenly alarmed!
The court was rescued and cleaned by Wen Hu early, and the rest are either party henchmen or people who protect themselves, where are there still loyal ministers? Even if Chen Shangle was committed to waiting for the thief in the past, how could he not see that Wen Hu was now leading troops outside, and the matter of killing him should be a secret performance instead of saying it in front of a full house of civil and military personnel!
Wen Yong's gaze staring at Chen Shangle became gloomy, and the atmosphere above the court was very dull, which was completely different from what Chen Shangle expected, and he couldn't help but sweat like rain, and his eyes became a little evasive.
Is it a chess piece sent by someone else to tempt it, or a tool to force me to fight with Wen Hu?
A wisp of murderous intent flashed in Wen Yong's eyes, no matter who sent it, since he dared to make a smart jump in front of me, then don't blame me for being rude!
As soon as he slapped the dragon case, Wen Yong said angrily: "How can you and other traitors know the patriotism of my brother's loyal ministers!" ”
The emperor's words immediately pointed out the direction, and the emperor was still unwilling to tear his face with Wen Hu. Chen Shangle was abandoned by the Son of Heaven and offended Wen Hu again, and his political career is over. The officials of the court are sensitive to the political wind, and now that the protector has the favor of the Son of Heaven and the great power, isn't this kind of protector worthy of being favored by everyone? The answer is obvious, Chen Shangle instantly became the target of public criticism, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have accused, impeached and insulted.
In the incessant shouting of grievances, Chen Shangle was thrown into the prison, Wen Yong waved his pen, and announced in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military: "Da Sima Wen protects and defends danger and suppresses difficulties is the important pillar of the country. His son Wenhui was loyal and brave, and was crowned as the Duke of Chongguo. ”
After Wen Yong finished speaking, he seemed to still be angry about Chen Shangle's matter, and immediately brushed his sleeves away.
Walking on the dragon steps back to Weiyang Palace, Wen Yong instructed Wen Xin: "Immediately let someone knock on Chen Shangle's mouth, and by the way, check who you have been in contact with recently, I want to see who is behind the scenes and wants to take advantage of the fire!" ”
Wen Xin immediately stepped back to arrange after receiving the order.
Angrily returning to the inner room, Wen Yonggang wanted to tell Fu'an to call Wang Gui, but he saw a small eunuch report: "Huangmen Shilang Wang Gui asks to see him." ”
"This king belongs to a dog, and his sense of smell is quite sensitive. Let him in. ”
Wen Yong scolded jokingly.
"The ministers and kings pay a visit to Your Majesty."
Glancing at the next Wang Gui, Wen Yong said: "Say, what is the matter with me?" ”
Wang Gui asked: "Today, Your Majesty let Wen Hu be rewarded for defeat, but he intends to kill him?" ”
Wen Yong knew that he couldn't hide the royal rules, so he nodded by default.
Wang Gui asked again: "So Your Majesty gave up this opportunity to kill Wen Hu?" ”
Wen Yong also nodded and said: "Chen Shangle pierced the window paper, no matter how stupid the old thief is, he will be on guard, and he can't do anything, forcing it will only kill him in vain, it is better to continue to show goodwill, lighten his vigilance, and leave it for next time." ”
Wang Gui praised: "Your Majesty is wise, and the minister was originally worried that His Majesty would not be able to help but go the opposite way and give it a go, but now seeing that His Majesty is still in order, the minister is relieved." ”
Wen Yong said: "I also have something for you to do, this time you will personally go to reward the old thief Wen Hu, be sure to express my kindness and deceive him to return to the capital." Wen Hu has always led the troops outside, and I always feel like a man on my back. ”
Wang Gui bowed and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely grasp the proportion." ”
Wen Yong sighed sadly: "Give up this time, I don't know when I will have a chance next time." ”
Wang Gui advised: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, when the old thief is on guard, there will naturally be a chance." ”
After Wang Gui left, Wen Yong's face was still gloomy, and he always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him in this palace, otherwise Chen Shangle would not have just startled the snake at this time.
"It seems that if you don't know who it is, this Wen Hu can't be moved."
The faces of the people around him swept through Wen Yong's mind one by one, as a king, he never minded guessing the people around him with the most vicious thoughts, this is the helplessness of the superiors.
You must find out this person, Wen Yong doesn't want to reject the wolf at the front door and enter the tiger at the back door.
……
Wen Yong's reward has arrived in Wen Hu's army, and after talking with Wang Gui, Wen Hu said with satisfaction: "Lone's emperor cousin is really a reasonable son of heaven, and it seems that he is lonely. ”
Yuan Jie didn't see it that way, but as a strategist, he didn't dare to contradict Wen Hu, so he said politely: "The king of Jin has not been rewarded for his great achievements, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of dissatisfaction among the government and the opposition, and you need to be careful." ”
Wen Hu was a little displeased, "That's it, after returning to the dynasty, the orphan will ask for debasement, return to the family to raise obscurity, temporarily return the government affairs of the court to the emperor, and wait to sort out the military system before planning." ”
