Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 120 Dealing with Wang Yun
None of the ministers in the palace expected that His Majesty would suddenly ask such a puzzling question at this joyous moment.

His Majesty holds great power, especially the power of the army, which is closely dependent on him, and almost all of His Majesty's orders can be carried out. Why do you have such a question?
All the ministers lowered their heads and said nothing, except for a few ministers whose faces were slightly ugly.

"I don't know why Your Majesty asked such a question?" Wang Yun stood up again and said.

"For so many years, I have always thought that my big man is clear and clear, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so there are so few memorials presented to me, but since I went to the Shangshutai last time, I only know that I have been deceived. In the drum."

"As the lord of the world, I can't even see the demands of the officials. May I ask Wang Situ, am I qualified to handle state affairs?"

Wang Situ was taken aback for a moment, he did not expect His Majesty to discuss the matter of Shang Shutai so quickly.

"Your Majesty, Shang Shutai did not intentionally conceal His Majesty's behavior. Over the years, no matter during the period of the first emperor, or during the period when the traitor Dong Zhuo took power, including now, he has been conscientious in handling state affairs and never dared to delay."

As Minister Wang, what he said was naturally correct. If it weren't for their conscientious handling of state affairs, the entire country would not even be able to maintain the superficial unity.It's just that he avoided the important ones, and it was their responsibility to deal with state affairs, but why they didn't submit some memorials, but didn't mention it.

"Then I would like to ask Wang Situ why the memorials that arrived at the palace are only one-twelfth of the Shangshutai. Do you feel that I am not qualified to deal with other memorials?"

Zhang Ming's words were not violent, and with the presence of three generals, I understand that these civil servants would not dare to fool him.The reason why he chose to talk about this matter today is to use the authority of the general to suppress these civil officials.

"Your Majesty, this has been a habit since the time of the late emperor. There is nothing wrong with Shangshutai's actions. Shangshutai entrusts important memorials to His Majesty, and naturally dare not bother His Majesty with other unimportant memorials."

"Then, Wang Situ, what is an important memorial and what is an unimportant memorial?"

"The memorials related to the court are important, and the memorials not related to the court are not important."

Wang Situ was ambiguous. In fact, whether the memorial is important or not is not their Shangshutai's final say.

"Come on, go and call the bus commander to come."

"Yes, Your Majesty." A little yellow door agreed and walked out.

Soon, the commander of the bus arrived in the main hall.

"I heard from Wang Situ that all the memorials they sent you to the palace were important memorials, so what about those unimportant memorials?"

When the commander of the bus heard about this, the two parties fought. He accepted the order of Shang Shutai and handed over the memorials to the various execution departments every day.

"Your Majesty, those memorials are still in the minister's mansion, and have not been handed over to other departments." The commander of the bus did not dare to hide it, he was only the one who executed it, and he did not dare to speculate on the thoughts of the superiors.

"Dianwei, accompany him to the mansion and bring those unimportant memorials. I want to see what unimportant memorials are. I don't even have the qualifications to look at them."

"Yes, Your Majesty," several guards in the hall agreed, and then they took the bus commander and walked towards his mansion.

The atmosphere at the scene fell into an embarrassing state, especially the ministers, whose faces were even more ugly. Faced with this situation, it was difficult for them to make up their minds for a while. After all, in the main hall, unlike the Shangshutai, they can discuss matters casually.

Zhang Ming is also at ease. He is not in a hurry anyway. He must solve this matter today. After all, as an emperor, if he cannot see most of the memorials, even if he is in power, the actual It was still empty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who first set up Shangshutai, including Emperor Guangwu who later carried forward Shangshutai, must have never imagined that Shangshutai, which was originally intended to evade the power of the three princes, has now backfired on the imperial power. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, imperial power was emptied by Shangshutai a lot.

And the most important thing is that Shangshutai's one order, one servant, Liu Gongcao, and 36 servants are all from the family. It can be said that the family firmly holds the power of the country. From the early Eastern Han Dynasty to the late Sui and Tang Dynasties, The aristocratic family played an important role in the court.

Zhang Ming couldn't do without the aristocratic family, he didn't think he could easily get rid of the aristocratic family if he could easily kill Dong Zhuo and guard Chang'an.

Soon, the bus commander and several palace guards returned to the main hall, holding a lot of memorials in their hands.

Zhang Ming signaled the eunuch beside him to go to the palace to bring up some memorials. He wanted to see what the so-called unimportant memorials were?
Zhang Ming opened the first memorial, which was a memorial to impeach Wang Yun's nephew, saying that Wang Yun's nephew was bullying men and women outside and doing evil.He opened the second memorial, which was submitted by the magistrate of Wugong County, saying that there was an uprising in the local area, and the government and army could not suppress it, and the imperial court needed troops.He opened the third memorial, which was submitted by the magistrate of Xie County, saying that the people in the local area were living in difficulties and hoped to reduce land taxes, but was rejected.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ming opened all the memorials in his hands, and his face became more and more ugly. These memorials even included how officials from various places were selected, but he was very puzzled. When did the emperor not even need to participate in the selection of officials? up.

"Cui Ming, read these memorials aloud to all the ministers present."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cui Ming received the eight memorials from His Majesty, and began to read them one by one.

Cui Ming's voice is loud, and he pronounces every word strictly. It can be seen that he has learned a lot from Teacher Gongzhong during this time.

Several ministers were shocked when they heard the content of these memorials, especially Wang Yun, who trembled even more when he heard about his nephew's memorial.He never expected that the few memorials that the eunuch took casually would actually impeach him. He was already cursing the commander in his heart, but he hadn't destroyed these memorials.

After Cui Ming finished reading all the memorials, Zhang Ming said again, "I don't know what else Wang Situ wants to say?"

Wang Yun walked out quickly, bowing in his heart and saying, "Your Majesty, I don't know why there is a memorial to impeach the old minister? I have always obeyed the law and never dared to do evil. As for what my nephew did, I did not I don't know."

Wang Yun is not easy to explain this matter, he can only pretend not to know.

"Then, does Wang Situ think this is an important matter, or is it an unimportant matter?"

Wang Yun, who is in the vortex, has no way to explain now, the only thing he can do now is to divide and ask three questions.The blame can only be dumped on the people below, at least he can't make mistakes.

"Your Majesty, I just came to Shangshutai in the past two days. Presumably, the servants below are afraid of the authority of the minister, so they made their own decisions. I really don't know. If I knew, I would definitely publish this memorial. Leave it to His Majesty."

"But Wang Situ, you only mentioned the memorial to impeach you, how do you explain the other memorials?"

Zhang Ming didn't care about the memorial to impeach Wang Yun. He knew very well that these people in high positions would have countless memorials to impeach them every day, some of which were true and some of which were fabricated.

Although Wang Situ was able to explain the memorial to impeach him, he could not explain the other memorials, because these matters were important matters of the state, but they still had not passed through His Majesty's eyes and hands, and there were even matters involving the choices of officials.

Seeing Wang Yun's unspeakable expression, Sun Rui, the servant of the Shangshu and the archer, stood up.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the bus must have made his own decision, so he didn't hand over these important memorials to the palace."

Hearing this, the bus commander immediately knelt down. He already understood that Shang Shutai was obviously going to throw the blame on him, but he didn't dare to speak out, he didn't dare to offend Shang Shutai.

"Commander of the bus, do you have anything to say about Shang Shupu's words?"

"I was infatuated with ghosts for a while, so I didn't send these memorials to the palace. I will die." The bus commander repeatedly kowtowed and confessed.

Zhang Ming was speechless for a moment, he didn't expect that the commander of the bus would take the initiative to take the blame. It was a good game, but now it's all the commander's fault. It seems that the people in the palace are not afraid of him. But afraid of Shangshutai.

"Ting Wei"

"In" Zhong Yao stood up.

"The commander of the bus took the Shangshutai Memorial back to the mansion without permission. What is the crime?"

"Your Majesty, those who deceive the emperor will be punished with death." Zhong Yao replied.

"Come here, push the commander of the bus out of the palace gate and behead him."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace guard replied.

Hearing His Majesty's words, the bus commander suddenly panicked, he was finally afraid, he no longer cared about Shang Shutai's face, and shouted, "Your Majesty, Shang Shutai asked me to do this, I did not deceive you , Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Wait a minute and let him continue."

The palace guard let go of the bus commander who had just been erected, and saw that the bus commander's flustered legs could not stand at all, and he fell to the ground and knelt down, even with his hands hanging powerlessly on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the Shang Shuling told the minister that His Majesty is still young, so there is no need to bother His Majesty with these important matters. After the Shang Shutai has reviewed these memorials, they can be directly handed over to various departments for execution."

After Wang Yun heard this, his face turned pale. He didn't expect the bus commander to confess him directly. Although he didn't have the ambition to be a powerful minister, he also had his own careful thinking. It seems that there is nothing wrong with reviewing memorials for His Majesty who is still young?

"Wang Situ, what do you say?"

"I thought His Majesty was still young, and it might be inappropriate to deal with state affairs too early, so I did this."

Wang Yun no longer quibbles, now that there are all the witnesses and material evidence, he can only admit it, not to mention that he thinks that he has the first merit in killing Dong Zhuo, His Majesty will not bear him.

"So is this how Wang Situ handles state affairs? My nephew bullies men and women, no matter what, the refugees in Wugong County should not have seen the right to revolt. To solve the difficulties of the people in the county, let the county magistrate of Xie county figure out a way, and the county magistrates from all over the country I wonder how many benefits these people have given Wang Situ?"

Zhang Ming didn't show mercy at all, and said these things one by one in front of the officials.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know about the matter of my nephew. This memorial was not approved by me at all. I really didn't care about the uprising of refugees in Wugong County. After all, the court itself was in trouble at that time, and so was Xie County. As for the county magistrates everywhere The choice, I made the decision after discussing with the ministers."

To say that Wang Situ is indeed a loyal and upright person, even at this moment, he still thinks that His Majesty is discussing state affairs with him.

"That's right, when will the huge imperial court become the court of your Wang Situ, and when your Wang Situ says a word, I won't even have the right to approve memorials."

"I don't have any."

"The minister is guilty."

Wang Yun looked at His Majesty who was getting more and more angry, and he finally realized that the country of the Great Han belongs to the Emperor of the Great Han, and the court of the Great Han can only be decided by the Emperor. At best, Wang Yun is only temporarily managing state affairs for His Majesty.

Although yesterday, Wang Yun, Shang Shupushe and six other ministers discussed this matter and even came up with a so-called solution, but he found out today that His Majesty only targeted him, and with Evidence, to question him in front of all the officials.

As for the other ministers, they naturally saw what His Majesty meant, they were not fools, why bother to get involved in this vortex.

"Since Wang Situ has admitted his mistake, I naturally need to deal with it."

"Ting Wei"

"The minister is here" Zhong Yao stood up again.

"Wang Situ deliberately concealed state affairs from me, how should I deal with it?"

Zhong Yao was stunned. He didn't dare to convict Wang Situ without authorization. All the ministers present saw this embarrassing scene and realized that it was time to come out to save the situation.

"Your Majesty, Situ is also thinking about national affairs. He didn't intend to deceive His Majesty." Yang Biao stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Situ is dedicated to serving the country. Although he has done some wrong things, I hope His Majesty will spare his life." Taiwei Huang Wan also stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, Duke Situ worked hard during his reign and never dared to slack off. He himself was also loyal to the court and His Majesty, and it was not his intention to do such a thing." Shangshu Yang Zan said.

After that, dozens of ministers stood up to speak for Wang Situ. Their words were repeated over and over again, not much different from the previous ministers.

After the ministers finished speaking, Wang Yun said again, "Your Majesty, I'm guilty."

"Since Wang Situ has already been convicted, he needs to deal with it. I thought that Wang Situ made the first contribution to killing Dong Zhuo, and I usually work hard. Although I concealed the state affairs, I also thought of the country. Therefore, I decided to remove Wang Situ from his official position. Take care of yourself at home."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wang Yun kowtowed to admit his mistake. For him, this was already a good result.

"As for the commander of the bus, he has already realized his mistake, so I decided to change his death sentence to a reduced death sentence."

"Thank you Your Majesty" the bus commander kowtowed again, at least he saved his life.

"Next, Sun Rui, the servant of the Shangshu, will be the Minister of the Book, and the eunuch will be the commander of the bus. From now on, all the memorials at the Shangshutai will be sent to the palace after being reviewed."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Sun Rui replied loudly.
