Chapter 308: The Prince
Wang Ke drove the noble princes back to the feudal kingdom as quickly as possible. Even the reasons he found were reluctant, but no one dared to go against his will.
In doing so, he was paving the way for the next emperor, and now he would drive these people away, and wait until the new emperor ascended the throne and took control of the court, and then let the new emperor issue an edict to pardon them.
In this way, not only is the court stable, but the new monarch has also shown grace to these princes, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Wang Ke finally chose his second son Wang Jing as the crown prince, Wang Jing is fourteen years old this year, although he is not an adult, but he is also smart. And let him follow him and watch the government.
After some action, he helped pave the way.
On the other side, the secret guard came back, and after half a year of investigation, the incident of the prince's landslide was finally investigated. The prince's accident was not man-made, it was indeed an accidental event caused by the weather.
It's just that even so, Wang Ke did not relax his vigilance, and still let the secret guards and officials such as the Inspector Yushi and Jinyang Ling continue to investigate. At the same time, find a few 'chickens' to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys.
As for what to say it's none of their business? The prince is injured here, don't you have to blame? If the work is not done well, how can I do it if I don't clean it up?
The crown prince Wang Ce was finally saved by the imperial doctor, but one leg was scrapped. From now on, I will only be able to use crutches. After learning the news, Wang Ce's whole person changed. The young man who was originally confident, sunny, gentle and elegant, and ambitious suddenly became depressed.
After all, almost no one is willing to accept it after hearing that he suddenly broke his leg.
He was unwilling to accept the result of his broken leg, and wanted to vent his anger for the entourage and maids around him. This is true of any able-bodied person after a sudden change. The better the person, the more decadent it will be in this situation.
When the crown prince returned to Luoyang, Wang Ke could hardly believe that this was his son. Wang Ce's whole person was completely devoid of energy, his eyes were like dead ashes, and he had completely lost his previous demeanor.
Wang Ke asked him to take him back to the palace and let everyone else leave, and then said to him: "In the past, King Wen of Zhou was detained and expanded the "Zhou Yi", Confucius was embarrassed to annotate the "Spring and Autumn", and Zuoqiu lost his binocular vision, so there was "Chinese" and "Poems" 300, most of which were written by sages expressing their indignation. ”
"You've just lost a leg, and you're so confused and stumbling. Originally, I wanted to entrust you with great things, but it can be seen that how can you take on great responsibilities now? ”
"You are the heir of Prince Wen, if you don't do something, how will you go to see King Wen in a hundred years?"
When Wang Ce heard this, his original expression as dead ash also changed.
"Father, now that I have a broken leg, I am a waste, what use is there?"
"Your brother is young and inexperienced, I originally wanted you to assist him, but now I don't want to talk about it, you can go back and rest!" As he spoke, he turned around and left.
Wang Ce's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly reached out and grabbed Wang Ke's sleeve and said, "Father, I am willing to assist my younger brother and prosper greatly!" ”
Seeing his son Wang Ce recover, Wang Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief and was very pleased.
He has a lot of affection for this eldest son, and does not want to see him decadent. At the same time, he also wants the eldest son to assist the government and help the second son through the most difficult period when he has just ascended the throne.
After arranging for his eldest son, Wang Ke began to arrange the government, and he promoted his brother-in-law Yang Zhao and made him a guard lieutenant, in charge of the defense of Luoyang City, and the forbidden army outside the city.
The army of Luoyang City is divided into three parts, the first part is the palace guard, half of this part is served by Yu Linwei, half is served by Xun Gui's children, and the second part is Yu Linwei, part of which is responsible for guarding the inner city, and part of it is stationed in Shanglin Yuan.
The third part is the forbidden army, which specifically refers to the army guarding the capital, with a number of 20,000 and rotates every two years. With Yang Zhao as the guard captain, it is equivalent to controlling half of Luoyang's military strength.
Wang Jing is very smart and learns very quickly, which also makes Wang Ke feel at ease. Wang Ke couldn't see Wang Jing's six-dimensional attributes, if he could check them, he would find that Wang Jing's six-dimensional attributes were the most outstanding in the royal family's generation, even better than his elder brother.
[Wang Jing: Internal Affairs: 90 (95), Strategy: 88 (92), Military Strategy: 80 (85), Commander: 81 (87), Force: 63 (80), Charisma: 92 (94), in parentheses is the limit of talent potential].
As an emperor who does not need to command a large army, this six-dimensional attribute is already very good, and it can be said that if he is the emperor, he must be a generation of Ming monarchs.
Wang Ke vigorously cultivated Wang Jing, and after a year of investigation, he was finally made the crown prince. The change of the crown prince in the imperial court did not cause much change in the court, after all, this was already expected.
Originally, the prince's subordinate officials were delegated to the state and county as officials, and Wang Ke re-selected some officials for Wang Jing to serve as the prince's subordinate officials.
The crown prince has a smooth transition.
Because the previous education of Wang Jing was not the way to be a king, after confirming Wang Jing as the crown prince, the next thing is to make up for these homework.
Because Wang Ke was worried that Wang Jing did not know the sufferings of the world, he often took time to take him to the people, so that he could see with his own eyes the cornerstone of Daqian, the thousands of people who provided him with food and clothes.
Wang Ke took Wang Jing all the way out of Luoyang and came to the Nanyang Plain, where there are countless farmlands and countless farmers working hard in it.
When the carriage stopped, Wang Ke said to Wang Jing, "Do you know why I brought you here? ”
Wang Jing said: "The father wants the child to understand the suffering of the people!" ”
Wang Ke smiled and said, "Yes, it's not right!" The people you see now are not the lowest in the world, although they work hard, they can eat enough, have clothes to wear, live a surplus, and eat meat once or twice a month, but there are still many people in this world who are not as good as them. ”
"You're right, a kid, who has great ambitions and wants to do something you've never done before."
"What are you doing all this for? Do you want to make the people's lives better, or do you want to make your name in history? ”
"Of course, these two are not in conflict, I hope you will read more and learn more, think twice, one of your decrees may cause these ordinary people to go bankrupt, I hope you will be a good emperor."
"These people look poor and weak, but they are the ones who support the great work. If they can't live, then the big work will be over. ”
Wang Jing nodded with a serious expression.
"Father, I know!"
"If you want to do great things, I have also left some for you, and you also know the wealth of the Western Regions, with its prolific gold, silver, jade and jewelry, I have no chance to include the Western Regions in the Great Dry, so it will depend on you in the future."
