Chapter 4 Wen Zhong returns to the court

Wen Zhong rode the ink unicorn into the city, and there was already a report from the horse: the king had brought a hundred officials to greet the Taishi at the noon gate.

"In this way, don't let the king wait for a long time, and the generals will hurry with me to the noon gate." Wen Taishi said, and immediately set up the ink qilin, and ran to the noon gate with the generals, and saw Zhuo Ao with Huang Feihu and other ministers waiting outside the noon gate.

"The king is the honor of a country, how can he come to the noon gate to greet him?" Wen Zhong rushed to the noon gate, hurriedly turned over and got off the saddle, and bowed to Zhuo Ao.

"The Taishi worked hard for the country and fought in all directions, but I sat here and enjoyed the success, just came out to greet him, walked a few more steps, and didn't get in the way." Zhuo Ao shook his head and smiled.

Wen Zhong said a few polite words, and Wen Zhongcai pointed to the carriages and horses that were constantly sent into the palace gate and said, "King, I don't know what these are ......."

"You Hun family property." Zhuo Ao briefly said the previous matter, looked at Wen Zhong and said: "I regret not listening to the words of the Taishi, I only know today that this bastard deceived the upper and lower levels, and scavenged a lot of people's fat and people's ointment, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe that this is the loyal minister I have relied on for many years!" ”

Wen Zhong always took a half-step distance from Zhuo Ao, and said with a smile: "Then You Hun has a sentence that is right, knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, the king rarely goes out of the palace, so naturally he doesn't know this You Hun evil deeds." ”

Zhuo Ao nodded: "Don't talk about this, the Taishi has just returned to the court, and he should have let the Taishi rest, but if there are frequent disasters today and the country is in turmoil, there are many things to discuss with the Taishi." ”

"Minister, dare not obey your orders." Wen Zhong smiled with relief.

Many years ago, in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, Zhuo Ao and Wen Zhong fought for the luck of the world, and killed the blood all over the mountains and rivers. In the end, Zhuo Ao was even forced to flee by Wen Zhong. Who would have thought that after a thousand years. When the two met again, it would be such a harmonious picture, and every time I thought of this, I always sighed at the wonder of the world.

The two talked happily, but they frightened Fei Zhong among the hundred officials.

You Hun's fate is still in front of him, the king in front of him is very different from before, since the incident of picking up the star tower, not only went to the court for two consecutive days, but also did what he did. Changed from the past to be stupid and incompetent, now Wen Zhong is still in the court, if Wen Zhong takes this opportunity to bring up the old matter again and impeach him, then what should he do?

Looking at the two people in front of him, Fei Zhong thought to himself, if the general trend is today, Xiqi has two thirds. Thinking about the past, Naxi Bohou Jichang also received some favors from me, why not roll up the family funds to invest in him, even if it can't be reused. It's better than being scared here.

Thinking of this, Fei Zhong glanced at Zhuo Ao, who seemed to be completely unconscious, and slowed down quietly. Quietly withdraw from the ministers, and wait to see the ministers go away. Hurriedly turned around and ran outside the palace gate.

Ahead. Zhuo Ao was still chatting and laughing with Wen Zhong, but he saw Huang Feihu quietly coming up and said in a low voice: "King, Fei Zhong has quietly escaped from the palace just now. ”

"Do what you do." Zhuo Ao sighed.

"Yes." Huang Feihu agreed, and at the same time withdrew from the list of hundred officials and walked out.

"The king doesn't seem to want to kill Fei Zhong?" Wen Zhong looked at Zhuo Ao suspiciously: "Could it be that You Hun has not yet alerted the king?" ”

"Not really." Zhuo Ao turned his head and glanced at the hundred officials behind him: "The punishment of the former cannon brand and the pot has frightened the hundred officials, and now the hundred officials have gone to the palace, without a word of advice, the hundred officials have been disappointed in me, but this is my fault, and I can't complain about the hundred officials, Fei Zhong and You Hun have already known about it, but the two of them, I was going to keep one to supervise the hundred officials, but it's a pity that ......"

To put it bluntly, Zhuo Ao just needs such a wicked person, grabbing the pigtails of hundreds of officials in the court, forcing hundreds of officials to speak, and then retracting the hearts of the ministers little by little, but unfortunately, Fei Zhong is too timid, when he saw You Hun fall, Zhuo Ao had already found that Fei Zhong had the intention of escaping, so he secretly ordered Huang Feihu to prepare people, once Fei Zhong wanted to escape, he would take it down, if Fei Zhong did not escape, he would be able to live longer.

"It turns out that the king's move has such a deep meaning." Wen Zhong sighed.

"It's not a deep meaning, it's just a remedy, there are some things that the master doesn't know, you and I will talk about it in detail later." Zhuo Ao shook his head and said.

While the two were talking, they had come to the top of the main hall, this time Wen Zhong had made a great contribution to the East China Sea, and it was a reward, Zhuo Ao ordered people to take out 10,000 gold from the treasury that had just been filled, one to return the 5,000 gold left by Wen Zhong before, and the rest was used to reward the soldiers of the three armies, and then Zhuo Ao ordered to quickly exchange the gold and silver treasures obtained by Fei Zhong's family confiscated into grain and grass, and quickly go to all sides for disaster relief.

Although there is still no sound in the court, but it is better than before, Guo Chu, who is in charge of the treasury, is at least very active, and under the drive of Wen Zhong, some old ministers of Wei Ziqi also began to speak, but they are no longer as lifeless as before.

After some discussion, someone suddenly came to report that Huang Feihu had escorted Fei Zhong to see him, and Zhuo Ao ordered someone to summon him.

"The king, before Fei Zhong somehow, quietly left, sneaky deeds, the minister secretly appointed someone to check, but after seeing Fei Zhong go home, he actually packed up his family belongings, took his family and threw himself to Xiqi, and was intercepted by the minister at the Sanshan Pass, escorted to the palace gate, and waited for the king's fate." Huang Feihu stood on the hall and bowed to Zhuo Ao.

"Fei Qing's family, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhuo Ao looked at Fei Zhong and sighed softly: "I don't want you to be kind to you, I don't want you to secretly collude with Xiqi, it really makes me feel heartbroken!" ”

Wen Zhong raised his eyebrows, very keenly caught a trace of deep meaning in Zhuo Ao's words, turned his head to look at Fei Zhong, and said sharply: "What is the collusion between you and Na Xiqi?" But secretly voted for Xiqi, lurking in my Chengtang, intending to subvert my Chengtang Sheji!? ”

Fei Zhong was swept away by Wen Zhong's cold eyes, and was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he quickly knelt on the ground, shouting that he was wronged, but Wen Zhong couldn't help but say that he was beaten to prison.

"King, I think this Fei Zhong and You Hun are the same raccoon dog, the two may have already had a dirty relationship with Xiqi, this matter should be strictly investigated." Wen Zhong bowed.

Zhuo Ao secretly praised in his heart, but there was a heartache expression on his face and said: "I trust these two people, over the years, every time the two of them have twists and turns, I have no refusal, I don't want to, but I raised two white-eyed wolves, come to someone, first rush Fei Zhong's family assets into the treasury, and after the inventory, together with You Hun's family assets, exchange them for grain and grass to relieve the people, Guo Chu, you manage the treasury, this matter will be handled by you personally, don't be framed again." ”

"Yes." Guo Chu hurriedly bowed to Xie En and left in a hurry.

"Okay, today's court meeting is over, all the ministers have been busy with me for a long time, and now that noon has passed, I think my belly is empty, so stay in the palace and eat with me." Zhuo Ao waved his hand.

"King Xie." The hundred officials hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

Zhuo Ao ordered people to prepare food, and went to the side hall with Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu with hundreds of officials to dine.

"The king, the queen and the concubine invite you to dine at the star-picking platform." Zhuo Ao was having a banquet with hundreds of officials, and a palace man hurriedly came to the side hall to report.

"No rules, didn't I see that I was having a meal with your ministers?" Zhuo Ao frowned, put down the wine, and thought for a while: "Spread my will, from today, after . . . The palace is a concubine, not allowed to interfere in politics, among the three palaces, up to the queen's concubines, down to the palace maids, without permission, they are not allowed to leave without permission. Palace, violators, behead! ”

"Yes, the slave knows her mistake." The palace people were swept by Zhuo Ao's gaze, and they were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, and they knelt on the ground to ask for guilt.

It turned out that Daji since the New Year's Day star building, then found out that something was wrong, the king did not see her and Ximei for two consecutive days, she also found that the king of the sun was not right that day, did not dare to make a time, but also patiently did not take the initiative to find the king, with her understanding of the king, within a day, the other party will come to find themselves for fun, but now two days have passed, there is no news, and I can't help but be anxious, so I sent the palace people to inquire, who knows that it will be bad Zhuo Ao scolded him, and he made an order, not allowed. Gong is in charge, but this is something that Daji definitely didn't expect.

"Not yet." Zhuo Ao waved his hand and asked people to drive the palace people out.

The ministers watched Zhuo Ao's move, and many people were excited, and His Majesty was finally willing to change his ways.

Wen Zhong stroked his beard and smiled: "After. Although the palace is not allowed to interfere in politics, although it is unprecedented, it is not unreasonable. ”

The supermarket is different from other dynasties, there are many traces left by the matriarchal society, and the status of women is not low in this era. The palace is not allowed to interfere in politics, but at this time, the hundreds of officials in the court have been persecuted by the demon concubines, but they quite agree with this point, and no one objected.

"Okay, state affairs are said by the court, and now that our monarchs and ministers rarely get together, we won't talk about those troubles, Princes, please." Zhuo Ao raised his wine glass, looked at the ministers and smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." With the previous paragraph, it is invisibly, so that the estrangement between the monarch and the minister is a lot less, the hundred officials have opened up a lot, and the atmosphere has become more and more enthusiastic, not only Huang Feihu and these ministers are drunk, but even many civil officials, in a happy mood, are also overpowered, a wine banquet, it took two hours to drink before it ended, Zhuo Ao sent guards to send a group of ministers back to the house, seeing Wen Zhong's current appearance, if he wants to talk about any state affairs, he is also confused.

Wen Zhong walked out of the palace gate with the support of several guards, and a gust of wind blew, which made him sober up a little, and the mana in his body was destroyed, and the smell of alcohol in his body had disappeared.

"Your Majesty has said before that you have something to discuss with me." patted his head, Wen Zhong smiled bitterly: "That's it, Your Majesty is rare to have the heart to make good governance, it is rare to be happy today, if there is anything, it is not too late to discuss it tomorrow." ”

went straight to the ink unicorn and returned to the house, passing through the trouble, and suddenly saw a stall overcrowded, on the stall, there were four words written on the count, and he couldn't help laughing: "What a big breath, who is in front of you to swagger and deceive here?" ”

A guard glanced at it and said with a smile: "Taishi doesn't know, this person is a foreigner, came here two days ago, penniless, to help people divination for a living, but also has some ability, every time he says, all of them are said, the humble duty remembers that this person's name is strange, the surname is Zhuge , the name is bright Kong Ming, and the name is Wolong." ”

"Interesting." Wen Zhong was in a good mood at the moment, and couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, let me meet him for a while, if you really have the ability, you will recommend it to the king tomorrow." With that, he walked straight to the stall. (To be continued.) )
