Chapter 13【A blessing in disguise】

Three days is neither too much nor too little.

The news of the emperor's illness and that of Lei Weng's illness were sent out together, and everyone was in an uproar.What is even more shocking is that the reason for the two of them to fall was because of the Prime Minister of the country, Gu Changsheng.

A series of crimes were listed, all over the corner of the king's city within a day.It turned out that the Prime Minister of the State had never been kind to others. If he was kind to one area, he would naturally ignore the other area.They even demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall, shorted the national treasury, and managed the relationship, maintaining the illusion of a mirror image.

Guotai Minan never came to Xuan Kingdom.In remote towns such as Xuanhe and Changqing, bandits are everywhere, and officials protect each other.A better city is backed by the big tree of the Prime Minister of the Country, filling his own pockets, enriching himself, and suffering the common people.

Drought, locust plagues, and floods in many places... The Prime Minister of the State also demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall, and transported the water-soaked grain and moldy dry goods from floods and other places to drought and locust plagues at low cost, winning a lot of praise.

But he didn't know that the prime minister of the country was so stubborn that he had never suffered himself.

This hand borrowing flowers to present Buddha is the best in history.And because of the special geographical location of Xuan Kingdom, with many mountains and rivers, communication is not convenient.If the news cannot be spread, no one will know.

Is there a clean official?Yes, but all of them died on the way to report the letter.Then the locals promoted newcomers by buying and selling officials, and those who sold their wives and children climbed up to the official position, and they were the next scum to oppress others.

Only the closer to the king city, the life will be easier.In order to gain the support of these people, the Prime Minister of the State has done a lot of superficial work.

The resources of a place are always limited, what to eat, use, drink and play... Even real money is limited.

So the Prime Minister of the State continued to specialize in the technical work of "demolition and relocation", diverting resources from more and more remote places to places that could win "popularity" for him.

The ordinary people who didn't know it thought that life in Xuan Kingdom was getting better and better, and that the Prime Minister of the country was a great and honest official, a good official.

But then again, if these people really knew that their happiness was based on the suffering of others, how would they react?

Spit out what you eat?Buy it back and hand it over?Impossible, because people have to live.

So even if some people know the truth, they will pretend not to know.The reason why the Flowers in the Mirror and the Moon in the Water are so beautiful is that no one reaches out to disturb it.

But now, it's time to wake up from all the sweet dreams.

Especially the royal city at the foot of the emperor.

Men forgot to look after their own food stalls, students forgot to go to school, women forgot to weave and embroider shoes.

They gathered in various parts of the royal city, looking at the horrible crimes on the crime list.

Deceiving the superior and the inferior, deceiving the emperor to act recklessly, reading the books of sages and sages but doing rebellious things... and suppressing the Lei family step by step, causing the court to lose its talents and so on.

The emperor fell ill, because the minister who trusted him wholeheartedly did such a treasonous thing.

Lei Quan fell ill because the murderer was finally put to death.

The emperor issued his own edict, reflected on his lack of understanding of people, improper employment, self-examination of his own style of work, and pointed out that there are countless loopholes in Xuan Kingdom's political system. It is necessary to strengthen management, strengthen supervision, and need to strengthen the system of the first responsible person... [-]. Strictly Control cost management and implement cost management review methods; [-]. All agencies and grassroots departments formulate annual cost verification standards and implement a responsible person assessment system. Those who fail the annual assessment will cancel the personal performance score of the year and cancel the department's annual score; [-]. Resolutely put an end to extravagance and waste, hedonism..."

The people are dizzy.

I can still understand what I wrote earlier, but why can't I understand what I wrote later?

Some scholars understand it to a minimum, but they are wondering, which language is this?

In the crowd, Yu Ziwen led Zhang Kang to stand behind the crowd.With his hands behind his back, he looked at the densely packed articles on the Edict of Guilt.

Zhang Kang didn't understand, and read each word in a low voice, but he couldn't understand a sentence, so he went back and continued reading.

Yu Ziwen was expressionless, looking at the words above, complex emotions flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Master." After leaving the crowd, Zhang Kang was still muttering, "Then what's the cost...management, agency...? What?"

"It means that the abolished emperor has come for real."

Zhang Kang stared wide-eyed, "Really? Lei Weng is already leaning towards us, what else is real or fake?"

"He compromised." Yu Ziwen said: "He and Lei Weng complained together and told me that he compromised."

Presumably, he had already discussed everything with Leon, and after distinguishing the pros and cons, he knew that he could not win, so he bowed his head first.

Now list all the crimes of the prime minister of the country and tell the world, that is the evidence.The meaning of Xuan Yue, the deposed emperor, is self-evident.

Zhang Kang raised a question mark.On the other side, the palace was flooded with water.

"How did he get the news?" Xuan Le gnawed on a papaya, looked at Ji Xing and said, "I've already said everything I want to say."

Ji Xing bowed his head, "Forgive me for being stupid..."

Xuan Le waved her hand, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and explained, "I fell ill with Lei Weng, what does that mean?"

"Uh... The Edict of Guilt said that it was because the Prime Minister of the country..."

"The Prime Minister of the country is the pillar of the country. Even if he is gone, he is still the pillar of the country. If I don't say it, he doesn't say it. Who knows if he is the pillar of the country?"

Ji Xing felt a little dizzy from being surrounded, and looked up at him, "So?"

"If I don't compromise with Yu Ziwen, I will take up this mess. Compared to telling everyone that the Prime Minister is a piece of rubbish, you have been blinded for so long! Of course, it is by taking advantage of what the Prime Minister has done before. If you add some tear-jerking flavorings, sing melancholy and affectionately the great achievements of the Prime Minister at a 45-degree angle, it will be easier to win the hearts of the people."

The season was at a loss, "But the emperor... asked Lei Weng to investigate the Prime Minister..."

"What is the result of the investigation? Is it up to me?" Xuan Le spread her hands, "If I want to win the hearts of the people of Wangcheng as quickly as possible, it is to mourn the prime minister of the country, confer him a title, and then find someone else." The scapegoat is perfunctory. Otherwise, Gu Changsheng is too popular, and when the people come to realize it, I will be the first one to condemn him."

think about it.Pigs also know which side to choose between an emperor who never cares about government affairs and only knows how to have fun, and a prime minister who at least looks hardworking and considerate of the people.Before Gu Changsheng appeared, what kind of life the people in Wangcheng lived, they themselves knew best, no one wanted to go back to those days, and the incompetent emperor would definitely be hit.

But if he really did this, what he would bear would be the anger and hatred of Lei Quan who could not avenge him.No matter from which angle you look at it, Yu Ziwen has a good hand, and Lei Quan will not have to bear any guilt if he turns against him at this time.

There is another way, which is to show the cards to the people, to condemn oneself, and to criticize oneself.The risk is that if the re-establishment of the court fails, it will not be so easy to rely on self-criticism to regain the trust of the people next time.

After all, Changsun Xuanle's trustworthiness is already very low.But the good thing is that at least he doesn't need to be included in the death list by Lei Quan, and he can temporarily save his life.

So sing the praises of the German Prime Minister and win the people?Or hug Leon's thigh?In the eyes of Yu Ziwen and other people who don't know the truth, this is a big problem.

Xuan Le actually chose the latter at first, but because of Yu Ziwen, everything went in the worst direction.Lei Weng's defection, perhaps as an emperor, he has the right to criticize and be angry, but he really can't get angry.

If it were him, if Gu Changsheng dared to attack his own family, he would die together with Gu Changsheng.

Swallowing your breath for so many years?Still loyal to a foolish king for so many years?

What a big daydream.

Let Lei Weng take revenge and smear the Prime Minister—of course he doesn't need to smear.

Even if the people are in an uproar, even if the government is in turmoil, there is still a majestic Lei Weng standing behind him.As long as he lasted for a year, he would have the confidence to win back the hearts of the people and regain his court.

"You have to change your position and think about it." Xuan Le said seriously, "Now Yu Ziwen is there, if I were Yu Ziwen, and I gave you ten Lei Weng, would you dare to use it? Then I, Emperor Xuan Le, have neither People's hearts, I can't rely on Lei Weng...... Do I still have a choice?"

Ji Xing suddenly realized, "So what the emperor meant, that little thief Yu Ziwen told you that Lei Weng had defected, and Lei Weng also told you the truth, but you still chose to report the affairs of the Prime Minister of the country to the world, that is, Chao Yu The little thief has released the news, and the future of Xuan Kingdom will depend on him to support him."

Xuan Le snapped her fingers, "Correct answer."

Ji Xing nodded, "I have been taught."

Xuan Le smiled, "Actually, it's not that complicated. My brain is so rigid that I can't turn so many turns. If I walk in a straight line, I'll fall, and I can't control Xuan Kingdom. Is there only one person left?"

Ji Xing thought for a while, "Heaven knows, the earth knows, you know and I know, so little thief Yu will definitely receive this news."

Xuan Le sighed, "Now the chess pieces are in the opponent's hands, I am passive and have to submit."

Ji Xing said: "Hard your courage, I believe that the emperor will win back what belongs to you."

Xuan Le narrowed her eyes, "Well said!".

On the other side, in an ordinary courtyard, Zhang Kang couldn't get his head around.

"That waste emperor... has become powerful."

"Change?" Yu Ziwen sneered while holding tea, "We still don't know if he was pretending before."

"Pretending for so many years? What's the point?" Zhang Kang habitually squatted on the wooden bench, with his knees outstretched and his arms in front of him. "Master, what do you mean he's serious?"

"To overthrow the Prime Minister of the country, and make up your mind to restore the court." Yu Ziwen said: "Although he has become an abolished emperor, he has also taken advantage of it."

Zhang Kang's face was blank, with question marks in his eyes.

"Is our goal to conquer the Xuan Kingdom?" Yu Ziwen looked at him.

Zhang Kang shook his head.

"After regaining the Kingdom of Jing, it will be easy to take down the Kingdom of Xuan slowly." Yu Ziwen said: "But during the period of dealing with the Kingdom of Jing, our focus and attention must not be on the country of Xuan, as I said, he is still his I don’t want to interfere with the emperor of Xuan Kingdom, and what he plans to do in the future, I don’t want to interfere at all. However, if something goes wrong in Xuan Kingdom, it will only add unnecessary trouble to me.”

Zhang Kang opened his mouth wide, "So in order to prevent Xuanguo from causing trouble, we have to...cooperate with him?"

"If Xuan Country can have good weather, it will only benefit us. If something goes wrong, our plan will also be affected. If this is the Xuan Le Emperor I heard about, I don't need to worry about this problem at all. As long as he doesn't make trouble, I naturally have ways to maintain the balance of the Xuan Kingdom, but now Emperor Xuan Le..."

Zhang Kangdao: "What is said in the Edict...he will do it?"

Yu Ziwen blew a mouthful of tea leaves, and lowered his voice, "Because I can't do anything to him, I plan to govern the country well. Hmph, I have to say, this kid looks weak, but he has a fierce heart. If during this period Someone wants to make trouble in Xuan Kingdom... Whether he can make a move or not, I must do it."

Heh, what a good way to borrow a knife to kill someone!

"Obviously... obviously a waste emperor!" Zhang Kang suddenly became unwilling, "How could he not play cards according to common sense?!"

Xuan Le sneezed, put down the papaya and washed her hands.

Ji Xing looked at his sluggish back, and wondered: Since compromising Yu State can bring blessings in disguise and get unexpected benefits, why did the emperor make this choice when he was desperate?Did he know it early on, or did he just figure it out now?
