Chapter 373: The Son of Heaven Asks for Advice
Night, capital, imperial palace.
After dealing with government affairs, the Son of Heaven was about to turn over the cards and choose a concubine to rest. And it was at this time that the people below came to report, the great order of the Daxing Division, Wang Xuance asked to see.
Entering the palace late at night, he still came in person, and he thought that things would definitely not be small.
On the side of the Son of Heaven, he has always kept in mind the plan implemented by the Great Xingsi in Xiliang. Therefore, when Wang Xuance, who heard about it, asked to see him, he directly withdrew the hand that was about to open the sign and slowly withdrew it, and asked the chamberlain to summon the other party in.
"Wang Aiqing, visiting late at night, what is the so-called matter?" After Wang Xuance finished greeting him, the Son of Heaven took the lead in speaking and went directly to the topic.
"Back to Your Majesty...... In the northwest province, there has been no news for several days. The minister sent a letter to inquire, but so far there has been no reply. Therefore, the minister thinks that this Xiliang is afraid that it is ......"
To be honest, if possible, Wang Xuance really didn't want to bring this kind of news to meet the Son of Heaven. However, the matter was caused by Sun Wuji, the deputy director of the Daxing Division, and he is the head of the Daxing Division. Anyone can run away, but he can't.
Therefore, I can only speak hard and tell the bad news.
And the reaction of the Son of Heaven was really as Wang Xuance thought, his eyes suddenly turned cold when he heard this, and he didn't wait for him to finish speaking, so he directly interjected: "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid it's ......," Wang Xuance replied while kowtowing: "I hope Your Majesty will make plans early." ”
“...... Wang Xuance, do you know what you're talking about?" The Son of Heaven looked at Wang Xuance coldly for a long time before he said expressionlessly.
No wonder the Son of Heaven is angry.
As I said earlier, once this matter is not handled well, it is likely to cause turmoil in the world. And now, the worst is coming.
How could this make him give Wang Xuance a good face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Guilty. ”
Faced with the questioning of the Son of Heaven, Wang Xuance couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then began to plead guilty.
In fact, if possible, how would he be willing to upload the news in person.
It's just that paper can't contain fire after all.
It's like this kind of news, if he doesn't report it at the first time. When the real incident happens, it will be that the king of heaven will not be able to save his life, and it may even affect his family and relatives.
And now it is reported, although it is also very culpable. But this is not without an opportunity to turn over and make meritorious contributions with crimes. After all, the more this time comes, the more the court is short of manpower. Especially lacking people like him who have real talent and are good at dealing with tricky things.
As long as the Son of Heaven is not dizzy, he will not be too harsh on him at this time, at least there is no problem in leaving him alive. The gains and losses in this, he can naturally see it clearly after the ups and downs of the sea for a long time.
And what the Son of Heaven was thinking at this time was really the same as what Wang Xuance thought.
Although his heart was full of anger, he wanted to drag the person in front of him out and cut him in half to relieve his thunderous anger. But it is also very clear that if there is really something wrong with Xiliang, it is more in the interests of the imperial court than killing Wang Xuance with a knife and keeping him useful for the imperial court to drive.
And compared with Wang Xuance, who can be dealt with at any time, how to deal with the troubles that may come is more important to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court.
Therefore, the Son of Heaven looked at the five bodies and threw himself to the ground coldly, and bowed to Wang Xuance in front of the hall for a moment. Directly smashed a teacup into his face, and smashed it directly on his head, and the blood flowed directly on his head. And the expressionless one in the back said waste, and no longer paid attention to him.
Let the other party kneel like this, and directly order the attendants around him to recruit several henchmen led by the imperial historian Chao Jing.
And in the face of the call of the Son of Heaven, especially at this time, how dare Chao Jing and others slack off. One by one, he cleaned up a little, and went to the Xuanzheng Hall with the attendants who passed the decree to meet the Son of Heaven.
When I entered the door, I saw Wang Xuance kneeling beside him, and there was a broken tea bowl beside him.
For a moment, his eyes were suddenly condensed. The uneasiness in my heart because the Son of Heaven summoned him and the others so late became more and more intense and obvious.
At the same time, I became more and more curious, what was going on? After the Son of Heaven directly slapped Wang Xuance and other important ministers in the face, he put them aside and let them come to see them so late.
Of course, I don't know what to do in my heart, not including Bai Li's shadow, who also knows the commander of the Gongwei Division, Lu Jiuzhong, who also knows the plan implemented by the Daxing Division in Xiliang.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what the important thing is for the ministers to come late at night?" After saluting and paying respects, seeing if there was the first time to speak, several important ministers glanced at each other, and Chao Jing took the lead in speaking and asked the Son of Heaven.
And because the world's anger has not subsided, it is obvious that he has no intention of elaborating on it to Chao Jing and others. Therefore, he directly commanded Wang Xuance in a cold voice: "Wang Xuance, come on, let all Aiqing listen, what good things have you done!"
Faced with the request of the Son of Heaven, Wang Xuance was naturally powerless to refuse. Therefore, they will be the head, and they will do everything they have done during this period of time. Let Chao Jing and the others finally know what great things Daxingsi has quietly done during this time.
For a time, the person who had the heart to scold the great minister was not the son of man. dared to defy the world's condemnation and murder Zhenxihou.
But considering that no matter what, Wang Xuance is also a party important minister at the same level as them. And at this time, there is no point in talking about these superfluous.
Therefore, he did not dwell on this, and began to ponder how to deal with and appease the Zhenxi Houfu.
That's right, due to the blockade of news from the Zhenxi Hou Mansion, the information asymmetry caused by it. Therefore, including Wang Xuance, they still don't know at this time that because of the existence of Bai Li, the situation in Xiliang has officially entered a stage that is extremely unfavorable to the imperial court.
The new lord of Xiliang, Lezhong, has made up his mind to officially raise the flag and rebel. and contacted the princes of the other two towns, and through them, he contacted several forces that were also at odds with the imperial court.
Now just wait for the appointed day to come, and officially leave the Great Zhou and set up his own home.
Their point of view is still stuck in Wang Xuance's words, that is, the eldest grandson Wuji assassinated Zhenxihou and was ready to support Zhenxihou's tenth son to ascend to the throne. and then put out the evidence of the other party's murder of his father and brother, so that Xiliang was in chaos.
So at this time, Chao Jing still naively thought that although the situation was not good for the imperial court. But with the power of the imperial court, as long as they find an entry point on their side, and then offer some favorable conditions to appease them, it should not be difficult to settle the matter.
This is also one of the reasons why their important ministers, although they were annoyed by the aggressiveness of the Great Minister, their faces were not too ugly.
