Chapter 315: The Storm is Coming
Wang Ce's actions in Chang'an spread rapidly, and after hearing that Wang Ce directly arrested all the subordinate officials of Guanzhong County, including Chang'an's order, the county guard of Guanzhong County and below, his face changed in fright.
You must know that the people who do this are not only Chang'an orders, but also the nobles, heroes, and officials in other places have done it more or less. They are naturally worried that Wang Ce will also arrest himself.
Wang Ce's actions wiped out the officials of Chang'an City, and the dark tide was also surging in the DPRK and China, and some people even wrote that all the officials of Chang'an City were arrested, and they were afraid that the place would be unstable.
It seems that he is worried about the instability of the place and the rebellion, but in fact, the words are reflecting that Wang Ce wants to rebel.
After all, what he did did was indeed like a rebellion, first to eliminate dissidents, and then arrange for his own people to control Chang'an, and all of a sudden Chang'an became his basic plate.
As long as the passage is blocked, it does have the strength to divide one side. It's just that Wang Jing knows very well that Wang Ce will not rebel. The persuasion of those people in the court, at least five or six out of ten were not pure-intentioned.
"My brother's tour of the world is my order, and those officials in Chang'an City are corrupt and pervert the law, and it is right for the imperial brother to arrest them and send them to Luoyang for trial."
With Wang Jing's support, plus those county marquis and nobles also supported Wang Jing, those people couldn't make any waves in the court.
Seeing this situation, many offenders began to try their best to find a relationship to get rid of the crime, for fear that they would be arrested by the embroidery envoy if they were not careful.
In Luoyang City, there are not many people who can come to the rescue, and Yang Zhao is one of them. As the uncle of the Son of Heaven, Yang Zhao has always served as a guard lieutenant, responsible for Luoyang and the palace ban, and is the confidant of the Son of Heaven.
There were already many officials who were good friends, but now a large number of officials came to ask for his asylum.
After Yang Zhao served as the guard lieutenant, he was conscientious, although he was also greedy for money, but he also knew the severity, although he received money, but he did not dare to agree to the request at will.
Outside the city of Luoyang.
In a secluded mountain col, surrounded by greenery and tranquil scenery, a manor house is located. At this time, there were many people gathered in the manor.
"Yang Zhao is greedy for money, but he doesn't want to come forward, what can he do now?"
"Received money but didn't do anything? How can there be such a thing in the world? The other said with an ugly face.
Another person next to him said: "The Son of Heaven is working hard and has great ambitions, this is to reform!" ”
"Reform!?" The faces of the crowd changed slightly, and it was obvious that they were very worried about the word reform.
Almost all of the reforms have been a redistribution of wealth, and those with vested interests do not want to hand over their interests.
"The best thing to do now is for His Majesty to abandon the reform."
"Abandoning reforms? To put it lightly, although our majesty is young, it is not easy to fool him. ”
"Then let's push it!" The man seated in the main seat said.
"Push? How to push? The others asked.
"If His Majesty's relatives have made a big mistake, how can this reform continue?"
"Hahaha, this is a good solution!"
"Yes, when the time comes, if the relatives break the law, if they are not punished, see how this reform is promoted!"
"Then Yang Zhao dares to accept the benefits and not do anything, let him taste it this time!"
Soon everyone had everything agreed and left. The secluded manor has regained its calm once again.
Luoyang City is still prosperous, many people who came to Luoyang asked Wei Yang Zhao to see him with gifts, most of the people who came were very generous, and most of them admired Wei Wei's name and wanted to make friends.
These people did not open their mouths to ask for errands, and gave generous gifts, and the words were also compliments, Yang Zhao was very useful, and for a while, the carriages and horses of the Weiwei Mansion came and went, and it was very lively.
Even many ministers of the DPRK and China are very sought after by him, saying that he has the style of Meng Weijun back then.
For a while, Yang Zhao was in the limelight in the entire Luoyang City, and even the Empress Dowager Yang in the palace heard it.
Empress Dowager Yang is Yang Zhao's own sister, the mother of Wang Jing, the Son of Heaven, and Wang Ce, the King of Su. When Empress Dowager Yang heard her younger brother Yang Zhao's words, her face was very ugly, and she immediately asked her brother to be invited.
Hearing that his sister was edicted, Yang Zhao immediately came to the palace to visit, and when he saw Yang Zhao, Empress Dowager Yang immediately reprimanded him: "You are my brother, how can you be so ignorant!" ”
"Sister, I didn't do anything?" Yang Zhao said with a puzzled expression.
"Your Weiwei Mansion is now full of traffic, so it's not prosperous, compare you to Meng Weijun in the world!" Empress Dowager Yang said coldly.
Yang Zhao said aggrievedly: "Sister, I really didn't do anything for them, I am just a gentleman's friend with them"
"A gentleman's friend? Do gentlemen need to bring so much gold and silver jewelry? Empress Dowager Yang sneered.
"Now Your Majesty has ordered your other nephew to inspect the world, and you are now collecting money on a large scale, where will you put Your Majesty?"
Yang Zhao's face changed slightly when he heard this: "Sister, what should I do then?" "He's not stupid, he's just blinded by money.
"Now go back and immediately close the door to avoid the limelight, and then ask Your Majesty to resign from the guard and go back to the fiefdom to avoid it."
"Ah, really?" Yang Zhao was reluctant in his heart, Wei Wei was one of the Nine Qings, and now he not only had to resign, but also return to the fiefdom.
"Go!" Empress Dowager Yang glared at him fiercely.
The eldest sister is like a mother, even if Yang Zhao is very unwilling, he has to agree, and he wrote to the Son of Heaven to resign on the same day, saying that he misses his hometown and wants to go back to see.
Wang Jing also agreed, and asked him to return to his hometown for a while before coming to Luoyang.
Yang Zhao left Luoyang and was extremely reluctant to return to the fiefdom.
And his departure also quieted Luoyang, and everything seemed to be calm again.
After Wang Jing saw the situation in Chang'an, he sent embroidered envoys to inspect other places. Zhao Qi went to Shandong to inspect as an embroidered envoy on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
Zhao Qi was originally a disciple of the Academy, and was selected by Wang Jing not long ago, at this time it was the age of young enthusiasm, and he was awarded a heavy responsibility by the Son of Heaven, and he wanted to make a career and live up to the grace of the Son of Heaven.
As soon as he left Luoyang, he began to go to Shandong. After arriving in Shandong, Zhao Qi did not make a big inspection, but drove lightly, wanting to secretly search for one or two.
Sure enough, after only one or two investigations in various places, he found that Yang Zhao's nephew Yang Kuan was forced to buy and sell here, embezzling the people's land. Knowing that Yang Kuan had done evil, Zhao Qi was not afraid at all and went to find Yang Kuan in person.
Yang Kuan has had a very comfortable time during this time, since his cousin became the Son of Heaven, Shandong's county marquis, nobles, officials, and heroes have given him face, and he used to have an uncle in charge, and now his uncle has gone to Luoyang to be a big official, so Yang Kuan's behavior has become more and more unscrupulous.
On this day, Yang Kuan was punishing a farmer who was unwilling to sell his land, for him, these farmers were cheap, he gave money, these people actually dared to refuse, thinking that he was the in-law of the Son of Heaven, so where would he put his face? He immediately ordered the farmer to be tied up and beaten.
"Stop!" A loud shout was heard, and then a young man rushed over with a team of soldiers, pushed his family away, and saved the farmer.
"Who are you to dare to me?" Yang Kuan said angrily.
"Embroidered clothes make Zhao Qi, inspect the world on behalf of the Son of Heaven!" Zhao Qi said loudly.
Hearing that Zhao Qi was inspecting the world on behalf of the Son of Heaven, Yang Kuan was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It turns out that it is my own family, I am Your Majesty's cousin, and my aunt is the Queen Mother." ”
"Bold, how can the Son of Heaven be attached?" Zhao Qi scolded angrily: "Take it down for me left and right!" ”
"Yui!" The forbidden army that followed immediately stepped forward and arrested Yang Kuan.
Seeing this situation, Yang Kuan kept struggling and shouted: "I'm Your Majesty's cousin, let go of me, otherwise when my uncle comes, none of you will want to live!" ”
Zhao Qi was unmoved, and after asking those farmers, after learning that they were going to buy their farmland for a few copper coins, he was even more angry, and shouted directly: "You are clever and robbing, forced to buy and sell, fish and meat people, you can't be left today!" ”
He was immediately ordered to be killed.
