Under Wu Qiong's question, the county lord of Luoqing cried and told what happened again.

Wu Qiong learned that it turned out that half a month ago, Wu Zhi inspected the defense of Jingshi Chang'an and went to inspect the military camps stationed around.

The other military camps, as soon as they heard that it was the Son of Heaven, opened their doors to greet them, and the general personally led the generals to greet them, but the defenders of Ba Shang, who heard that the Son of Heaven was coming, did not open the door, but said that the general had an order, no matter who came, if there was no charm, they were not allowed to enter.

But Wu Zhi didn't bring the runes, so he took the jade pendant with him to prove his identity, but he didn't expect Li Guangsheng, the guard inside, to say that he only recognized the runes, and without the runes, even the real emperor couldn't enter the barracks!

Wu Zhi failed to enter the barracks, and after he went back, he sent the guard Li Guangsheng to the prison, which was all in the prison, and it must be nine deaths.

After Wu Qiong listened to the whole process, she felt that this matter was a bit tricky. He is not a roundworm in Wu Zhi's stomach, but he has exchanged bodies with Wu Zhi in the past three days, judging from the cautious attitude of the people around him, the saying that a companion is like a tiger is not wrong at all.

First of all, regardless of Wu Zhi's own character, sitting in the position of the Son of Heaven, he must have the prestige of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to have too much personality, and the combination of grace and power is something that a qualified emperor must do.

Wu Zhi has been cultivated as the emperor's successor since she was a child, and naturally the same is true, she went to prison Li Guangsheng, the reason is very simple, just one piece of seeing the emperor's jade pendant, and even blocking the emperor's royal car outside the barracks, he can be sentenced to death, even if he is killed, no one else will say anything.

But this Li Guangsheng seems to be a general who governs the army very strictly, deliberately contradicting the disgusting martial arts? No, you say that you are a vassal of a vassal in the frontier, and you are not under the jurisdiction of the central government because of your power, and you can still understand jumping left and right.

You, a general of the garrison on the garrison of Anba, deliberately jumped like this? Sent the head? This Li Guangsheng's military discipline is strict, but he is so disrespectful to his immediate boss, he does have a reason to die. Moreover, Wu Zhi took this person under the knife, and it may not mean that the new official will take office with three fires.

It's just that, after all, this is a meticulous general, and besides, it's also a human life......

"Please be gracious and spare General Li's life!"

Wu Qiong looked at the county lord of Luoqing begging for mercy in front of her, and suddenly became embarrassed, what should I do?

………………

Weiyang Palace, Zhongshu Province.

The Zhongshu Province in the Weiyang Palace is part of the Great Zhou Bureau. The official office of the Great Zhou, like all dynasties, was directly set up in the imperial city, very close to the emperor's dormitory, so it was naturally convenient for the emperor to summon ministers at any time and give orders.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is a typical system of three provinces and six ministries, and the edicts and edicts issued by the Son of Heaven will be sent to Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province as soon as possible, responsible for deliberation and decision-making.

At this time, there was a small yellow gate from the palace, and he walked quickly into Zhongshu Province, and under the gaze of a group of officials, he directly found the governor of Zhongshu Province, Prime Minister Cai Yafu.

After chatting for a while and giving back some news, there was an order, which was sent to Shangshu Province in the form of an official document from Zhongshu Province-

[The Son of Heaven has an edict to release Li Guangsheng, who is imprisoned in the prison, from house arrest at home, and let him think about it behind closed doors, and go to the Ministry of Officials, Dali Temple, and immediately execute it]

This order, among the officials, also caused an uproar all of a sudden! Some old oilmen in officialdom, or high-ranking and powerful people, have also begun to figure out the will of heaven.

Xiao Fu, the head of the household, is one of them. But he thought about it, and he didn't understand that Li Guangsheng was so against the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven was angry, and when he heard that he was going to draw his sword and slaughter Li Guangsheng on the spot, he was dissuaded by others, so he put Li Guangsheng in prison and killed him according to the process.

Moreover, when the Son of Heaven first ascended the throne, the new official took office with three fires, and it is understandable that Li Guangsheng was attacked. But why is it that only half a month has passed now, and the Son of Heaven has actually changed his mind and wants to let Li Guangsheng go, and today he will be released from the prison and placed under house arrest at home? Will the officials be reinstated? Many people speculate that it is estimated that it will only be downgraded by one level.

Li Guangsheng is a general of Sipinping, even if he is demoted by one level, he is only demoted to a general from Sipin, and he has some military merits casually, and he doesn't go up in a hurry?

The hand of the Son of Heaven is not like the three fires of the new official, Xiao Fu felt strange in his heart, and decided to go to Zhongshu Province and find Prime Minister Cai Yafu.

Since becoming an official, Prime Minister Cai Cheng has been promoted many times, instructed, Xiao Fu can be smooth and deserved, and Prime Minister Cai Cheng is also the most accurate one to figure out the will of God, the new monarch succeeds to the throne, and everything must be steady.

Steadiness is Xiao Fu's biggest experience since he became an official.

When he found Prime Minister Cai, Prime Minister Cai was standing in Zhongshu Province, facing an old crooked-necked locust tree, touching his beard, his eyes were full of wisdom.

Xiao Fu arched his hand, and then said:

"Prime Minister Cai, the lower officials are really puzzled, this Li Guangsheng angered Tianyan and entered the prison again, he should have died, but why did Your Majesty release him from the prison today?"

Prime Minister Cai smiled, pinched his beard and said:

"Just now, I heard that the county lord of Luoqing has entered the palace to face the saint."

Xiao Fu thought about it for a while, and then said:

"What does the prime minister mean is that it is the lord of Luoqing who is asking for Li Guangsheng's favor? His Majesty just released him from the prison? ”

"From your point of view, is the Lord of Luoqing close to His Majesty?"

Xiao Fu was stunned for a moment and quickly said:

"It's not close, and the lord of Luoqing has never read His Majesty."

"Heh, that means that the Lord of Luoqing is just a step that His Majesty is looking for." As soon as Prime Minister Cai Cheng said this, he turned around and pinched a branch of the old locust tree with a crooked neck, and didn't say much.

This made Xiao Fu anxious, he hurriedly walked in front of Prime Minister Cai Cheng, and then asked:

"Prime Minister, the lower officials really don't understand, the reason for this, Your Majesty, why did you do this?"

Prime Minister Cai touched his beard, smiled, and nodded:

"This is, Emperor."

"Please ask the prime minister to explain my doubts."

"De Yan, when you are today, you have won the way of the emperor." Xiao Fuzi said that when Prime Minister Cai Cheng said this, he seemed very close and casual, and continued:

"Let me ask you, if this Your Majesty directly cuts Li Guangsheng, what do you think?"

Xiao Fu thought for a moment, and then said:

"I am afraid of the wrath of the sky, and I dare not take half a step beyond the thunder pool."

"But Your Majesty, if you lock up Li Guangsheng first, make a gesture to kill him, and after someone intercedes, you will release him later, not only will you not kill him, but you will also keep him as an official, what will you think?"

As soon as Prime Minister Cai said this, Xiao Fu thought about it a little, and his heart was disturbed and chaotic, so he listened to Prime Minister Cai Cheng continue:

"But all virtuous kings, grace and power, with benevolence and righteousness to govern the world, there are the kings of Yao Shun, and the people of Yao Shun below. Thousands of dollars buy bones, so you can get thousands of miles of horses, Your Majesty's move is exactly what it means. Li Guangsheng, who is so annoyed by His Majesty, can still have a chance to survive because of the intercession of others.

What reason do we have for our courtiers not to do our best to assist Your Majesty, to give advice, and to advise and deliberate? What kind of courage did those flattering ministers have to dare to offer flattering words to such a monarch like Yao Shun? ”

When Xiao Fu heard this, he also let out a long breath, leaned over, and then said loudly in the direction of Weiyang Palace:

"Your Majesty is benevolent, righteous and sage, this matter will be talked about for eternity!"

Prime Minister Cai Cheng also followed in the direction of Weiyang Palace, and then said with a smile:

"By the way, do you know what Li Guangsheng said when that order was sent to the prison?"

"Li Guangsheng and other stubborn people, shouldn't he say anything nonsense?" Xiao Fu was shocked all of a sudden, but Cai Chengxiang shook his head and said with a smile:

"If it was ordinary, he might still be a little unconvinced, but His Majesty also sent a message to Li Guangsheng, telling Li Guangsheng that it was the lord of Luoqing who begged for him, Li Guangsheng knelt on the ground at that time, kowtowed to Weiyang Palace three times in a row, and shouted: In this life and this life, only Your Majesty will serve your life."

Xiao Fu was confused again, he knew Li Guangsheng too well, the emperor dared to stop outside, and was locked in the prison by the emperor for half a month, can he be convinced so easily?

"W-why is that?"

Prime Minister Cai looked at the old locust tree again, and only said:

"This is the heart technique, the word love, which can be explained to you in three words, Your Majesty's heart art is unfathomable."

(Li Guangsheng's prototype is Zhou Yafu, the story draws on the fine willow parade army, let's not say it's unreasonable, in history, Zhou Yafu didn't even let Emperor Wen of Han ride a horse in the military camp, and he was wearing armor and holding weapons to perform simple etiquette to Emperor Wen of Han, all of which highlight his strict management of the army, don't go too far in this article.) ）
