[Rebirth] Emperor Yonggao Ji

After Liu Fu returned to the palace, he had someone re-bandage his wound, and looked at his right eye in front of the bronze mirror. The more he looked at it, the more obvious the big black spot on it would be, and it wouldn't go away for a while. In the end, I had no choice but to fall asleep.He hadn't had a proper sleep for many days, lying on the bed feeling extremely tired, almost lost consciousness as soon as he closed his eyes.

When the palace servants came to call him, Liu Fu thought that he had just closed his eyes and was woken up before he had time to sleep. He felt a fire in his heart, but he resisted the attack.He frowned and sat up, only to realize that the moment he closed his eyes, the sky was already dawn, it seemed that he was extremely tired.The palace man lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yunyang and others are asking to see you. Do you want to wash your majesty now?"

Liu Fu nodded, and the palace servants brought up the prepared hot water. Liu Fu raised his face and stretched out his hands, and asked the palace servants to wipe his face and hands motionlessly, thinking to himself, the Marquis of Yunyang is his uncle. Well, the people who came with him are all members of his clan, needless to say, they begged to see him as soon as he came back, probably with only one purpose, which was to come to him to sue Wang Sheng.

Liu Fu opened his mouth, and the palace servant rubbed some salt on his teeth, and then brought hot water, Liu Fu sucked it for a while, and then spat it out heavily.

He wanted to see what bad things these people could say about Wang Sheng.

He dressed unhurriedly, put on a smiling face to welcome these people into the hall, and everyone entered the hall to salute him, but he vaguely felt that everyone's attention was on his right eye.Liu Fu felt awkward, asked the palace servants to bring the mats, and settled the dozen or so people to sit down, then said with a smile: "It's so lively, I don't know why you all are doing it?"

Liu Wu, Marquis of Yunyang, sighed and said, "Since the king came to the kingdom, he has often fought abroad. He may not know anything about Chang'an affairs. After the king left, all matters were decided by the prime minister. The prime minister is aggressive. There is almost no room for us veterans!"

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Liu Fu said in surprise, "Please explain it to me in detail."

Marquis Yunyang moved closer and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that Marquis Hai Qi and Marquis Hai Xin have already been arrested by the Prime Minister?"

After Xiao Lun came out of the Prime Minister's residence yesterday, he immediately went to ventilate with him, so he knew that Liu Fu already knew about this matter, and he just asked such a question on purpose.Unexpectedly, Liu Fu nodded and said with a normal expression: "I know. Liu De killed five people privately, and Liu Ling was good at mobilizing the army. According to the law, both of them should be imprisoned. What the prime minister did is not wrong."

Yunyanghou was taken aback, he heard Xiaolun say that Liu Fu was quite hesitant yesterday, but he didn't expect to answer like this today, he was choked for a while, speechless, Pinyanghou continued his words and said: " Your Majesty, Hai Qihou is only 19 years old, and he is used to being arrogant and indulgent on weekdays. It was the time when he was full of blood, and he killed someone in a moment of anger and made him suffer. It’s nothing more than a long memory. , the right sentence is to warn others, if you just want to lock him in, that’s all, the prime minister must kill him! It’s really wrong for Hai Xinhou to transfer the army privately, but it’s a bad policy that was done out of desperation. It’s the prime minister who transferred the feathers first Before Lin Jun surrounded Ganquan Palace, Hisinhou was worried about Mrs. Xiaolun's mother and son, so he also dispatched troops there, but the prime minister insisted that he was treasonous, and he would also be executed together. I am afraid that it will take a long time. They will all die at the hands of the prime minister one by one!"

Speaking of this, Marquis Pinyang shed two lines of tears, choked up for a moment, and said: "We have fought with the king, and we have been born and died for so many years. Because of our achievements of this size and the gift of the king, we are now honored as a marquis. , I thought we could live a stable life for a few days from now on, but now... Hey! We have never offended the prime minister, let alone done anything that is not good for the king or the country, why is the prime minister unwilling to give us a way out! "

As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so people began to cry. For a while, the scene was a bit like mourning. Liu Fu gently touched the splint of his left hand, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.Marquis Yunyang didn't cry, he sighed heavily, and said with a broken heart: "Your Majesty, we have no grievances or enmity with the prime minister, did the prime minister want to take revenge on us? No, he wanted to use us to gain power! Li Show it to the courtiers in the court! It's okay for us to suffer some grievances, but what we're afraid of is..." He paused, "The prime minister has the heart to spy on the artifact!"

Everyone echoed: "That's right! He said in the court that one thing is true, we have such a humble life, and death is not a pity, but when the time comes, how will the king deal with himself?"

Liu Fu's face changed slightly, and they continued to say: "Yong Kingdom is so big, is there still room for the King?"

"Don't blame the old minister for being overwhelmed. Didn't the king hear about the fact that the Tian family replaced Qi? Today, the prime minister can use the king's mighty spirit to privately transfer the royal family's Yulin, and take full control of Chang'an's troops. King. Your Majesty, you must guard against it!"

"Enough!" Liu Fu's face darkened, he stood up abruptly, furious, and before they finished speaking, he shouted loudly: "My lord, even though I have Jiuxi, I don't doubt it. I know that he has worked hard. I have absolutely no second thoughts, but unexpectedly I was slandered by Er Cao and speculated about it. Harming my important minister with words is like chopping my buttocks, which is tolerable, which is unbearable!" Liu Fu drew his sword and stuck it on the table, pointing at the sword and saying: "I just don't want to hear what I said today. If there is anyone who speaks again in the future, I will kill him!"

After saying this, the crying stopped.Still angry, Liu Fu drew his sword back into its sheath, kicked over the table, turned around and strode away.The hands of everyone wiping away their tears were still on their faces, and they looked at each other, not daring to speak.

Liu Fu walked out of the hall, feeling uneasy.He originally thought that these people would only talk about Liu De and Liu Ling, but unexpectedly, it went up to say that Wang Sheng had the intention of treason, and that he would definitely put Wang Sheng to death if he said such slanderous words.Liu Fu knew that Wang Sheng was too powerful and had offended many people. If he had even the slightest suspicion of Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng would definitely end badly.Randomly flipping through the history books, any of the various ways of death of powerful officials throughout the ages may become Wang Sheng's final outcome.So these people don't need to produce evidence, they only need to open a crack in the heart of the monarch and plant a seed of suspicion, and they will succeed.

How vicious!

Liu Fu gradually calmed down, he thought coldly, he didn't care about the slander this time, but in the next few decades, would he trust Wang Sheng wholeheartedly?If one day, he finally grew jealous and suspicious of Wang Sheng, how would Wang Sheng deal with himself at that time?

Liu Fu stopped slowly and looked back at the numerous palaces behind him.

Glazed tiles, white stone steps, dragon head kisses, bucket arches and flying eaves... What a magnificent palace of heaven!Liu Fu was in it, and the noon sun was hitting him, but he felt a chill from the inside out.He suddenly felt afraid, he didn't know whether he was afraid of these majestic buildings that could not be illuminated by the sun, or he was afraid of himself.

He stood in a daze for a while, then suddenly remembered something, ran to the treasury of Chang'an Palace himself, rummaged in it for a long time, and didn't come out until he missed the lunch time.The palace people lost their king, and they were running around in a hurry. When they were found, Liu Fu saw the young palace people kneeling in front of him with snot and tears hanging down their faces. He thought something happened, and was shocked. Big jump.He had just become king, moved into Chang'an Palace, and performed the ceremonies of princes. All these people had only entered the palace not long ago, and they were so frightened when they encountered such a trivial matter, and even cried so ugly in front of him.While enjoying the service of these people with peace of mind, he also felt a little pitiful for these young children who were sold into the palace, so he sighed and didn't pursue it. Seeing their tearful appearance, he waved his hands in disgust and let them go down .

Then Liu Fu went straight to the prime minister's mansion.He regards the prime minister's mansion as his back garden, and has always been there whenever he wants to, never caring what signals will be sent out if he runs to the prime minister's mansion for two days in a row, just after his class and the court meeting has not yet been held.

And the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion are not surprised by Liu Fu's visit. They also think that it is nothing unusual for the king to visit his back garden today, so they even saved the notification. After saluting Liu Fu, they saw Liu Fu had no other demands, so they all left to do their own things.

Liu Fu reached into his bosom, touched it, smiled, and pushed open the door of the inner room with a creak.Wang Sheng was not lying on the bed, but was writing something at his desk, and a half-grown strange child was kneeling beside him and grinding it for him, which looked quite harmonious.Watching this scene, Liu Fu suddenly had a thought in his mind that he no longer wanted to lead Wang Sheng to marry him.

Because he was suddenly a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty." Wang Sheng raised his head upon hearing the sound, and when he saw Liu Fu, he stood up with his support on the table. Liu Fu waved him to stop saluting, stepped forward to hold his arm, and asked, "What did Jing Huan write?"

Wang Cheng leaned over and picked up two pieces of paper from the case, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty came just in time, and I have two proclamations here, Your Majesty, let's see which one is better."

Liu Fu helped Wang Sheng to sit down on the bed, took the calligraphy and asked curiously, "Why are you writing this?"

"The Kingdom of Wei asked me for help and was destroyed by me. After all, it would be detrimental to morality. I am afraid that the people in the Central Plains will regard me as a barbarian..." Wang Sheng paused, then smiled: "So I have to put two layers of dust on the King of Wei. "

"Well, Jing Huan wants to tell the world that the king of Wei has no way, and I lead the army to conquer, and I am a teacher of benevolence and righteousness." Liu Fu laughed, but his lips curled up in his heart. It was too false. He didn't believe it himself, so how could others believe it? .The words of diplomatic relations, how much is true and how much is false, everyone knows each other, but I really don't know, he was eaten as early as the warlord scuffle, how can he become a prince on an equal footing with him?He held the two proclamations in his hands, but he was not in a hurry to read them. He pointed to the kneeling child next to the case and asked rather concernedly: "Who is this?"

Wang Sheng called the child to him and Liu Fu, supported his shoulder and said, "This is Yang Jiu's only remaining son, Yang Si."

Yang Sidao: "See Your Majesty."

"Yang Jiu...is that murdered suburban citizen?" Liu Fu frowned slightly. He looked at Wang Sheng, and saw that Wang Sheng was also looking at him.He almost wondered whether Wang Sheng had expected him to come, so he brought this child with him, so that he could witness Liu De's crimes with his own eyes and force him to do it.Liu Fu was heartbroken and conspired and guessed, and finally asked, "Why is he in the prime minister's residence?"

Wang Sheng didn't answer right away. He whispered something in Yang Si's ear first, and after he nodded and went out, he said, "Yang Si is only 11 years old this year, and he has never read a book. He saw a family of five killed that night. , when the story was explained clearly. I chatted with him, and felt that he was very intelligent, and he was a talented person, so I left him in the mansion to study and read. I think that if this son is well trained, he may become a pillar of the country in the future .”

Liu Fu nodded and said with emotion: "It's really rare to have such courage at such a young age. I don't know how many pearls are still buried in the mountains and fields."

"The king made a clear decision. I have been thinking about this for the past few days. The son of a poor family can't afford to read, even if he is talented, it is difficult to find a way out. Since the collapse of the world, the Imperial Academy has fallen apart, and the imperial examination has been abolished for a long time. Do you think it is necessary to re-open the Taixue, give ceremonies and lectures, promote talents among them, appoint virtuous and capable people, promote Youyin, and make them go out of office and serve the court?"

"Okay. After this busy period is over, let all the officials discuss the matter of re-running the Taixue." This matter was also presided over by Wang Sheng in his previous life, so Liu Fu didn't take it seriously, "Now let's take a look at these two proclamations. .”

These two articles are in Wang Sheng's handwriting, I don't know why he wrote two different articles.Liu Fu probably read it, and saw that the first article wrote "Wei Wang overstepped, and secretly practiced the emperor's rule"; This kind of official article, when I went to read the second article, I found that this article was even more exaggerated. It was written that "the king of Wei paid exorbitant taxes and collected the wealth of the whole country and gathered in Luoyang. The treasury was opened, and the wealth was not counted"; Strict laws, death for stealing chickens, probation by officials, and no crime for murder", it seems that He Wu is a heinous sinner through the ages, comparable to Jie and Zhou's innocent king, even Liu Fu can't help doubting that he Was the original intention of destroying Wei to do justice for the heavens?

Liu Fu thought for a while, and felt that it was better to speak the official language in the call-to-action essay, but the language in the second article was a bit superficial in comparison.Wang Sheng didn't know how to write two essays, one of which was supposed to have copied someone else's, and then felt dissatisfied, so he wrote another one himself.When he came, Wang Sheng had just put down his pen, so that article should have been written by him, and looking at the two essays in front of him, the ink on the second article was still fresh, so it should have been written by Wang Sheng.Liu Fu is quick-witted, although he has always been above the officials and does not need to please others, but if he really wants to flatter him, his level must be higher than that of more than half of the ministers in the court, otherwise he will not be able to distinguish what he hears every day. Kind words, which ones are compliments and which ones are compliments.He read and read pretendingly, then picked up the second call to action and said seriously: "I think this one is better."

Wang Sheng took the piece of paper from his hand, and asked, "I don't know why the king made the decision?"

Liu Fu didn't expect that he still had something to do. He was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he smiled and said, "I like this article after seeing it."

"These two proclamations were written by the minister."

Just when Liu Fu wondered whether Wang Sheng had seen through what he was thinking, he heard Wang Sheng say: "The king once said: If you lose all the city in the world and lose your trust to a few captives who have lost their country, what is the point. I think about it." For a long time, I also think so."

Liu Fu opened his eyes wide and was about to speak, but he heard Wang Sheng continue: "I also thought that the king wanted to show his faith to Bruno, and he didn't want to show it to the princes of the Guandong—"

"Exactly! Jing Huan got it!" Liu Fu interrupted with a slap on his thigh.He didn't expect that after Wang Sheng scolded him, he would now agree with him instead?

Wang Sheng glanced at him, and continued the interrupted words, "It is to show kindness to the people and show faith to the head of Guizhou. Therefore, if the king breaks faith, it is not because of the princes, but because of the common people."

It turned out that he was still scolding him, but Liu Fu suddenly felt his scalp itchy, so he raised his hand and scratched silently.

However, Wang Sheng was completely unaware of Liu Fu's predicament, and said frankly: "So this call-to-action is not for the princes to read, but for the people in the Kanto region. The first call-to-action was written by the minister earlier, and it was full of bureaucratic articles. Later The minister heard the words of the king, so he wrote a second article, which is about the people's personal affairs, if the people of the Guandong read this article..."

Liu Fu interrupted again: "I must hate He Wu so much."

"Exactly." Wang Sheng said with a smile, "I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard the scene where Duke Guan resigned from Cao?"

Liu Fu shook his head, "I never listen to opera, why did Jing Huan suddenly mention this?"

"Before I met the king, I traveled all over the world. I heard a few operas in the market, passed by a village, and heard the part of Guan Gong's resignation from Cao. I still have a deep impression on it. Please recite it silently for the king." Wang Sheng sat upright as usual, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Mengde yelled on the horse: Second brother Guan, listen to me and run away slowly. It's not good for me to treat you in Xudu, making dumplings and deep-fried fried dough sticks every meal .Your sister-in-law Cao personally cooks and burns pots and stoves. She is too busy to sweat in the cold weather. You are tired of eating white-faced steamed buns with bacon, so I will steam a pot of horse-tooth vegetable buns for you. Carry the garlic mortar and pound the garlic juice. Shredded radish mixed with sesame oil and mixed with a spoonful."

Liu Fu stared at Wang Sheng dumbfounded, it was hard to imagine that he was hearing such things from his prime minister.After Wang Sheng's voice fell behind, Liu Fu finally found his voice, and stammered, "Mmm...Jing Huanbo is very knowledgeable, really...well, really amazing, it opened my eyes.... "

But Wang Sheng suppressed his smile, looked at Liu Fu and said seriously: "I listened at the time, but I just thought this story was quite interesting, and didn't think about it. Recently, I thought that Cao Cao's table made Yu the Marquis of Hanshouting, and it's important to pay attention to it." Adding rewards, why are the people talking about it, but it is Mrs. Cao who cooks herself, makes dumplings and deep-fried fried dough sticks and other non-existent things? It is because the princes, dukes, and titles have nothing to do with the people. What the people care about is only My own personal matter is said in the play, even if the king and his ministers think it is absurd, the people are willing to believe it. Therefore, the ministers abandon the etiquette and rewards, but impose exorbitant taxes and harsh punishments, etc., in order to make the people deeply believe in the king of Wei Hate spreads widely. I have heard that people's hearts are like water. Chaos is deep, and deep is dangerous; quiet is shallow, and shallow is safe. If the king wants to rule the sea, he must deeply observe what the people think."

Liu Fu was startled.He knew that what Wang Sheng was teaching him at this time was definitely not as simple as "understanding deeply".What Wang Sheng did in the rewritten essay, and what he is asked to do now, is not to gain insight into the hearts of the people, but to play with the hearts of the people.Liu Fu suddenly thought without a teacher, that the so-called benevolent government, moral education, fair law, scornful taxation, and even love for the people are all used to maintain the rule and expand the territory. s method.

At this moment, the world seemed to take off its veil to him, revealing the icy coldness inside.

Wang Sheng sees too clearly. He has insight into people's hearts and is ruthless. He is a natural Wang Zuozhi, and he was born for this position.Liu Fu suddenly rejoiced that Wang Sheng was not snatched away by others when he traveled the world, but he was chosen in the tiny place in Guanzhong, who was not yet mature at that time. It is a blessing not to have to be an enemy of such a person——

His prime minister is really terrible.

Liu Fuzheng was in a daze when he suddenly heard the terrifying prime minister whispering beside him: "It's getting late, if the king doesn't despise you, why don't you have dinner at the minister's residence." He paused, then laughed again: " I asked my servants to cook chestnut roast chicken, the king will try it and see if he likes it."

------

Prime Minister: I didn't eavesdrop yesterday, and I didn't know that the king likes to eat chestnuts, and I don't know why the belly is round, and I don't even know the king's nickname!

The prime minister in the king's eyes: Vicious!cruel!ruthless!Very scary!Is a killer without emotion! 【no】
