Chapter 425: The New Emperor's Temptation
Although he still trusts Shangguan Wu very much, after all, this is the throne, and it can't be handed over to others at will, and it is bound to have the ability and virtue of a king.
Even if Rong Yan intends to abdicate, he still has not given up on the dawn people of Dongwen Kingdom, and he must hand them over to a good king so that he can leave with peace of mind.
After Rong Yu'an left, Rong Yan thought about it and summoned Shangguan Wu.
Shangguan Wu slowly came to the top of the main hall and saluted without any reason, "Weichen greets Your Majesty, I don't know why Your Majesty summoned Weichen?" β
Rong Yan looked at Shangguan Wu below with deep eyes, smiled happily, and then stepped forward to help Shangguan Wu up, and said softly, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that some of my twists and turns are really difficult to deal with, so I thought you were more experienced, so I summoned you." β
Shangguan Wu knew that Rong Yan was a person with a changeable personality, and he was like a tiger, as soon as he heard Rong Yan say that he was more experienced in reviewing the folds, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground again, "Weichen is panicked, and the review of the folds is just for you to share your worries, not to talk about the way of experience." β
Rong Yan also felt funny when he saw him so cautious, he said that on purpose just now, at least Shangguan Wu is a smart person and knows how to speak.
"Aiqing, please hurry up, I'm just joking you, don't be serious, you come over and help me see how this is going to be solved." Rong Yan waved at him and motioned for him to come over and watch the recital.
Shangguan Wu's expression was complicated, and he hesitated for a few seconds before he stepped forward, doing everything carefully, lest he make Rong Yan unhappy.
Shangguan Wu took the fold in Rong Yan's hand, and it was written that there was a strange murder case in a Zhuangzi near the capital, and even the local county government had no way to investigate, and there was no clue, and the matter became bigger and bigger, and then the county government's mansion Yin played the emperor to solve it.
This matter itself is handed over to Dali Temple to deal with, but Rong Yan also took this opportunity to test Shangguan Wu's ability to deal with things as a basis for judgment.
Shangguan Wu frowned slightly after reading the analysis of the entire case, and turned his head to look at Rong Yan beside him with some confusion, "Your Majesty, shouldn't this kind of case be handed over to Dali Temple for investigation?" β
Rong Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and what he said was not very clear, "There have been a lot of things in Dali Temple recently, and there are not enough people, so I think you can solve it alone." β
Rong Yan's firm words made Shangguan Wu feel shocked when he heard it, and his eyes looked at Rong Yan's eyes, although he had a lot of questions in his heart, he didn't dare to ask anything more, so he also received the will to investigate.
After the others left, Yueqing walked out from the rear, looked at the back of Shangguan Wu leaving, and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, can Lord Shangguan really find the real murderer?" β
"I don't know, it's up to him." Rong Yan decided to be the shopkeeper and let Shangguan Wu play, he didn't know why, he always felt that Shangguan Wu would definitely solve it very beautifully.
The facts are indeed as Rong Yan expected, Shangguan Wu put down the trivial matters in his position and went to Xulan County to investigate the mysterious murder case, and it has been three days, and no one has come back to report the situation so far.
Zhao Yunling also knew what Rong Yan had arranged for Shangguan Wu to do, but it had been three days, and there was no news at all, so she couldn't help but be worried, she looked at the idle Rong Yan and said, "Rong Yan, why did you say that Shangguan Wu has not had any news until now?" Will something happen? β
Rong Yan was fiddling with the beads in his hand, and raised his eyes to glance at Zhao Yunling, "I'm not worried about this matter at all, Shangguan Wu is a general, and his personal safety can be guaranteed, as for whether he finds the real murderer, it depends on his own ability, no one can help him." β
Zhao Yunling couldn't help but glance at him when he said cool words, "You are really, you know that Shangguan Wu is a general, and you still want him to do an errand that uses his brain, aren't you embarrassing him?" β
Seeing her speak to Shangguan Wu like this, Rong Yan turned his head a little jealously, "How can this emperor be so good, I just know that there is no problem with his martial arts, that is, to examine his ability on the other hand, only if he is both civil and military, and has both ability and political integrity, can he be qualified for the position of emperor." β
Zhao Yunling couldn't understand Rong Yan's temperament, so he naturally heard the jealousy in his words, and couldn't help but smile in a low voice, "Okay, okay, I'm not worried that if something happens to Shangguan Wu, we won't be able to find someone to be the emperor." β
Seeing that Zhao Yunling saved his face, Rong Yan's face softened a lot, and he continued to fiddle with the beads in his hand.
When the two were chatting, they really saw Shangguan Wu coming back.
Yueqing first came in to make a report, and only after Rong Yan's consent did she summon Shangguan Wu in.
"Weichen to the emperor, the queen mother, please be safe." Shangguan Wu has proper etiquette.
Rong Yan hurriedly said, "Aiqing, let's be flat, there was the emperor talking about you just now, I didn't expect to say that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, let's say, how is the investigation?" β
Shangguan Wu always lowered his head, after all, there was Zhao Yunling who didn't dare to take a few more looks, "Emperor Qi, the truth of the murder case in Xulan County has been revealed, and the real murderer is the guards in the county mansion, because of the small friction in the market, this person has murderous intent in his heart, and he killed Aunt Zhang of the tofu shop by his own position, the specific details have been registered, and the murderer has also admitted his crime, and now he is imprisoned in the dungeon of Dali Temple, and let the emperor fall." β
Shangguan Wu said that he had a good idea, clear thinking, and careful logic, Rong Yan nodded with satisfaction, and Zhao Yunling also felt that Shangguan Wu was really a talent.
"Okay, Shangguan Aiqing found the real murderer in such a short period of time this time, and his ability is really outstanding!" Rong Yan did not hesitate to praise himself, and Shangguan Wu also deserved this glory.
"Weichen doesn't dare to be, or the emperor has good guidance." Shangguan Wu is neither humble nor arrogant, very modest, which makes Rong Yan feel that Shangguan Wu can definitely ascend to the throne.
But this alone is not enough, Rong Yan still has some concerns in his heart, the emperor's position can't just be passed on, and he still needs to observe and observe.
After waiting for a while, Rong Yan thought about it and then asked him to go to Shangguan Wu to arrange disaster relief, some refugees in the east of the city were wandering outside the city gate, they were also forced by life, they could only come to the capital to beg for food, in order to show the demeanor of a great country in my Dongwen country, the treasury finally decided to open a warehouse to relieve these victims.
"Shangguan Wu Aiqing, this matter will be handed over to you, and you must properly deal with these victims." Rong Yan said patiently, and Shangguan Wu's face couldn't show any emotion.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high expectations." After saying that, Shangguan Wu turned around and left.
Rong Yan gave Yueqing on his side a look, and then Yueqing followed Shangguan Wu out of the palace together.
Zhao Yunling glanced at Rong Yan with some confusion, and asked suspiciously, "What did you let Yueqing do?" β
Rong Yan smiled without saying a word, and took Zhao Yunling to the imperial garden to enjoy the night view, at this time the night was already deep, and the luster of the moon shone into the courtyard with a unique flavor.
The next morning, Yueqing returned to the palace and returned to Rong Yan's side, "Emperor Qi, after Lord Shangguan received the order, he went to the gate in the east of the city overnight to take over the affairs of the refugees, and soon found a temporary place for them. β
Rong Yan nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and Zhao Yunling, who was listening on the side, suddenly realized that Rong Yan asked Yueqing to follow last night to observe Shangguan Wu's actions.
Zhao Yunling looked thoughtfully at Rong Yan beside him, "Did you decide to pass the throne to Shangguan Wu now?" β
Rong Yan looked meaningfully at a pot of flowers at the door, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, you still need to continue to observe and observe, haven't you heard that some of the sect master's apprentices are good?" Yueqing, you will personally ask them to enter the palace after some things, and I will check them one by one. β
Rong Yan's thoughts are also extremely important, even if Shangguan Wu is already the first choice, but he still has to consider the overall situation, and it is good to have a few more choices, which can be regarded as a way out.
Zhao Yunling nodded slightly, and then watched Rong Yan leave the Weiyang Hall and go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, she glanced at the cuizhu at the door, and looked at the cuizhu beside her, "Cuizhu, cut all the branches of this flower, it's time to start rectifying when spring begins." β
Cuizhu understood the meaning of her words, and then sent someone to cook it.
In the Heart Nourishing Hall on the other side, Rong Yan came to the main seat and sat down, and soon news came that the proud protΓ©gΓ©s of the grandmaster were already waiting outside the hall, and they came quite quickly.
Rong Yan waved his hand and motioned for Yueqing to let them all in.
Yueqing understood what it meant, and quickly led them in, "Greetings to the emperor, the emperor is blessed with gold." β
"Excuse me, you are my proud protΓ©gΓ© of the Grandmaster of the Eastern Wen Kingdom, right?" Rong Yan asked meaningfully with the beads in his hand.
Most of these people are good at martial arts, and they seem to be burly and have a lot of territory, of course, it is the first time they have met the emperor, and they are inevitably lacking in etiquette.
"Emperor Qi, we are the disciples of the Grandmaster, I don't know why the emperor summoned us?"
Rong Yan fiddled with the beads, then glanced at the three of them, and probably had a number in his heart, and then gave them similar tasks, letting them get close to the people and have some tasks to investigate the case.
Although they don't know Rong Yan's intentions, they can be an errand for the emperor. Naturally, they readily agreed.
After they left, Yueqing looked at Rong Yan with some doubts, "Your Majesty, I see that none of them have the majesty of the emperor as Lord Shangguan, do you really want to consider passing on the throne to others?" β
"Isn't one more choice an extra guarantee? The water is deep in this, and everything must be considered before making a conclusion. Rong Yan said thoughtfully, helped his forehead and continued to review the folds.
Sure enough, after a few days, the difference between several people was reflected, Shangguan Wu was people-oriented, thought about the people in everything, handled these refugees very properly, and also found a way out for them.
