226 Zhu Guo returned to Beijing
May 24, Great Zhou, Luoyang!
On the third day after the death of the Great Zhou Emperor, the generalissimo of the Great Zhou Dynasty soldiers and horses and the king of Dazhu, Fugui, finally returned to Luoyang after exhausting several thousands of horses!
Originally, with the status and prestige of the Great Pillar State, he returned to Beijing with great pomp and circumstance, although Wang Fugui himself rejected, but every time he returned to Beijing before, the emperor would definitely bring hundreds of officials out of the city to greet him for ten miles to show respect.
However, this time, not to mention the correspondence of hundreds of officials, there was not even a reception.
What's even more excessive is that as soon as Wang Fugui returned to Luoyang on the front foot, the court directly sent a Praetorian Guard to Wang Fugui as a guard.
Among that group of Praetorian Guards, all of them were from families, none of them were from the bottom, and none of them had anything to do with Wang Fugui.
Even behind most of the guards, there are bigwigs who oppose Wang Fugui.
People with a little eye can see that the group of people they sent over is not so much to be a guard for Wang Fugui, but to directly come to watch Wang Fugui.
A generalissimo of soldiers and horses, a great pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was actually treated like this.
This large part of the responsibility actually comes down to Wang Fugui's body, don't look at Wang Fugui, who is a murderer on the battlefield, but basically as long as he returns to Luoyang, he will be very low-key, and even low-key to the point of being a little cowardly.
One of the most famous was the time when Wang Fugui returned to Luoyang three years ago, when Wang Fugui was blocked by a shrew in the Zhuguo Mansion for five days without going out.
The reason for this is even more spitting, it turned out that a son of a shrew heard Wang Fugui's deeds and ran to join the army, but he was killed in the process of suppressing bandits for two months.
From then on, the shrew hated Wang Fugui, thinking that Wang Fugui killed his son, so she had to block Wang Fugui and let Wang Fugui give her a speech.
Coupled with the fact that some people with ulterior motives secretly contributed to the trouble, Wang Fugui was blocked by the woman for five days, and finally the emperor personally intervened, and the matter was over.
After having such a thing, the next thing is either to be fueled by people with ulterior motives, or because of Wang Fugui's personality, as long as Wang Fugui returns to Luoyang in the future, there will be all kinds of such things coming to the door.
And when encountering this kind of thing, Wang Fugui basically put on a confessional attitude, which made the officials in Luoyang see enough jokes.
It is precisely because of this reason that a group of officials headed by Wei Yong will be gradually cultivated specifically for Wang Fugui, and Wang Fugui returned to Luoyang alone, so in the eyes of many people, Wang Fugui at this time is basically a toothless tiger, and they can handle it as much as they want.
In this case, if they didn't care about Wang Fugui's army in Yanmen Pass and his prestige in the Great Zhou army, they wouldn't just send people to guard Wang Fugui.
As for the malice of the hundred officials, Wang Fugui didn't seem to feel it at all, and he directly accepted all the guards they arranged, without delaying it at all, but after he returned to Luoyang, he put forward a request to see the body of His Majesty the Emperor.
Regarding Wang Fugui's request, the officials did not directly refuse.
This group of old foxes are very disciplined in doing things, so they will not do anything to directly refuse this kind of thing, but put on a businesslike face, saying that this matter must be done according to the procedure.
According to their program, I can give you a very complex set of procedures for a simple thing.
It's obviously a very simple walk, but when it comes to their hands, they have to do a series of actions that look quite standardized, such as lifting their feet, testing, measuring distances, etc.
According to their ideas, how to toss and how to make your king rich and noble as you wish.
Not only that, but while they were so-called going through the program, they also put another thing on the agenda on the other hand.
Above the imperial court, a temporary department was formed led by Taiwei Wei Yong, and their task was very simple, that is, to investigate the relationship between Wang Fugui and the cult, and to investigate whether Wang Fugui was directly related to the emperor's death.
As soon as their temporary department was established, Wei Yong directly sent someone to invite Wang Fugui over.
Well, if you say that you are inviting Wang Fugui, it is better to directly say that you are escorting Wang Fugui over.
On May 28, the second day after Wang Fugui returned to Luoyang, at about four o'clock in the morning, Wang Fugui was sleeping soundly, and the group of forbidden soldiers responsible for 'protecting' Wang Fugui's safety directly knocked on the door of Wang Fugui's bedroom and directly 'invited' Wang Fugui from his sleep.
To say that Wang Fugui's temper is really good, he is not angry at all, after washing up, Wang Fugui directly followed the group of guards to the palace.
After Wang Fugui came to the palace, he found that those who 'invited' him had not come at all.
Wei Yong and the others kept Wang Fugui waiting until twelve o'clock at noon, and a group of them staggered over.
After arriving at the scene, none of these people gave Wang Fugui a good look, and glanced at Wang Fugui coldly, and all of them showed jealous and hateful expressions.
After those people sat down in their assigned positions, Wei Yong, the leader, directly picked up a copy of the so-called evidence and threw it in front of Wang Fugui to open his mouth.
"Lord Zhuguo, we have received conclusive evidence that you have a connection with the cult demon Zhang Taiyi, and that you instructed the cult demon to curse and kill Your Majesty, how do you explain this?"
Wang Fugui was stunned when he heard this: "What is it?" Say I'll kill Your Majesty? It's a new crime, I've got to take a good look at it! ”
Wang Fugui said, picked up the so-called evidence and began to look at it.
I have to say that those who want to target Wang Fugui are still quite meticulous in terms of evidence, so meticulous that when Wang Fugui sees those evidences, he can't help but die.
"Why do you say it so clearly, my old king is about to believe it."
While Wang Fugui was scratching his head, Wei Yong patted the table and stood up: "Wang Fugui, you don't play sloppy, the ironclad evidence is right in front of you, I advise you to confess your guilt honestly, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin." ”
Wei Yong slapped the table, Wang Fugui's head was raised suddenly, and his gaze changed at this time, but Wang Fugui had not yet made a further reaction, at this moment, a flat voice sounded: "Everyone, things have changed, Dazhuguo can't be the murderer who killed his father!" ”
As this burst of voices sounded, a young man in his twenties, dressed in a robe, with a handsome face, walked in......
