[Rebirth] Emperor Yonggao Ji

"Your Majesty summoned his ministers in the middle of the night. I don't know why?"

"Doctor Kuai is here," Liu Fu handed the watch to Kuai Mao, "Doctor Yu Shi impeached the prime minister, saying that he had killed more than [-] people on the third day after he arrived in Luoyang, and most of them were ordinary people. Put their corpses in the city, and Luoyang was shaken. I temporarily suppressed this memorial, so you can take a look."

He sent Wang Sheng to Luoyang, with the intention of asking him to appease the hearts of the people in Luoyang, but he got off his horse and killed so many people.Liu Fu couldn't help beating his heart, but out of protecting Wang Sheng, he didn't immediately bring the impeachment list to the ministers for discussion, but wanted to hear the opinions of individual ministers in private.

After reading it, Kuai Mao stroked his beard and said, "Just looking at the impeachment of the imperial censor, it is indeed a bit cruel."

Liu Fu also stroked his new mustache, "What Deyin means is that there is something else hidden in this matter?"

"What are the identities of these thirty people, why the prime minister killed these people, and what the common people think about this matter, none of these are mentioned in the memorial. Your Majesty needs further investigation."

Liu Fu nodded.When Wang Sheng was not by his side, he relied heavily on Kuai Mao. Hearing what he said now, he felt reasonable, so he said, "In this case, I will suppress this matter first, and send people to Luoyang to investigate the situation first. , make another plan.”

"Your Majesty is wrong." Kuai Mao shook his head.

"Where did I go wrong?"

"The impeachment of the censor is his duty. Even if the person impeached is the king, the king should not suppress it. It should be discussed by the ministers. The censor is responsible for supervision and supervision of all officials. But the king wants to cover it up for the ministers, this action damages the rules and laws of the country, and it is a failure of the ministers."

Liu Fu was taken aback, he had never thought about this before.Because he himself trusted Wang Sheng wholeheartedly, he habitually regarded all impeachment against Wang Sheng as slander, and fought against all opinions in the court. this place.Someone had said similar things to him before, but because he doubted that person's position, he didn't take it to heart.At this time, Kuai Mao persuaded him, but he had to think about it.Kuai Mao had been in Yong for less than a year, he had no power in the court, and his temperament did not seem like a clique, so what he said can be heard.Besides, he persuaded himself not to jump to conclusions before, and later advised him not to cover up for Wang Sheng. From this, it can be seen that he has a neutral position on Wang Sheng, and there should be no suspicion of slander.

Liu Fu nodded, then suddenly remembered that Wang Sheng had advised him a lot in the past, from important national affairs to his every word and deed, Wang Sheng had said it all.His persuasive words, after sorting out, amounted to more than [-] words, but he never mentioned this matter until his death.From this point of view, his prime minister is not a saint, and he is still a bit smoky.

Thinking of this, Liu Fu suddenly smiled, "Let's do this. Tomorrow, I will show this impeachment memorial to the ministers and let them discuss it in court. Then I will send Dr. Yushi to Luoyang to investigate the matter and ask him face to face. Prime Minister Yu—what does Deyin think?"

Kuai Mao nodded his head as a sign of approval.

Liu Fu shook his head and laughed.Even Wang Sheng would casually compliment him at this time, "The king is a wise man." Kuai Mao actually responded like this. It seems that Doctor Kuai has a tougher temper than the prime minister.

It seems that I will suffer in the future.

"Prime Minister, someone from Chang'an is here."

Wang Sheng was talking with an official from the former Wei state, he was taken aback when he heard the words, said "excuse me" to the man, and then went to the front hall to meet the imperial envoy.Seeing that the person who came was actually the imperial censor of the current dynasty, holding an imperial edict in his hand, such a specification was very unusual, he frowned secretly, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he raised his front hem and knelt down.

The doctor Yushi's name was Chu Yuyuan, he was over fifty years old, he was considered as the oldest group of officials in the Yong Dynasty, but his hair and beard were as black as ink, his eyes were bright, and he did not look old.Compared with him, Wang Sheng, who had sunken cheeks and a tired face, looked older.Chu Yuyuan finished reading the edict, helped Wang Sheng up, and said calmly: "I don't want to hide it from the prime minister. According to the report of the inspector censor in Luoyang to the censor platform, the prime minister's murder in Luoyang was reported by the official to the king, and the king specially appointed the prime minister. The official came to investigate this matter, and I ask the prime minister not to be offended."

Wang Sheng took the edict and stood up, "Naturally, this was originally the responsibility of Yushi Chu. When I first came to Luoyang, I killed [-] to [-] people. It is inevitable that Wang Shangxin would have doubts, but if I say that I kill people without restraint, I will definitely kill you." Don't dare to take it."

"So I also ask the prime minister to cooperate with this official to respond to the investigation. The king attaches great importance to this and strictly orders the subordinate officials to repay him as soon as possible." Chu Yuyuan said neither humble nor overbearing.

Wang Sheng subconsciously pressed his left hand on the hilt of his sword, clenched it slightly, then released it immediately, and said to Chu Yuyuan, "I dare not disobey the king's order. I still keep the files of the 35 people, and I will order someone to send them later." , if the censor needs to consult, I will order all the officials to cooperate."

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Chu Yuyuan bowed to him.

"It should be so." Wang Sheng also saluted, paused and asked again: "I don't know how the king reacted to this matter?"

Chu Yuyuan looked puzzled, as if he didn't understand why he asked this question, "After the king heard about it, he sent an official to investigate, so this official is standing here at this time, talking face-to-face with the prime minister."

Wang Sheng sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that he had misunderstood his meaning, but he didn't ask any more, he just said: "The censor has been working hard all the way, let's rest first, I have a report to present to the king, please trouble the censor Shi will hand it over to me when he returns to Beijing."

"The prime minister has entrusted him, so he dare not disobey."

"Sir, Brother Wang sent someone to investigate you?" Wang Sheng had just sent Yu Shi off, and before he could sit down, Liu Jing also came to visit the government office where he was in charge.He and Liu Jing are known as mentors and apprentices. Although he is busy with political affairs and has no actual mentoring with Liu Jing, Liu Jing usually calls him Mr. Liu Jing.

Wang Sheng asked someone to serve him tea, "General Zuo is well informed, Yushi just left for a while."

Liu Jing drank the tea in one gulp, and said angrily: "Brother Wang didn't know the truth, so he sent someone to blame Mr. Don't worry, Mr. I will write to Brother Wang right away to explain the reason for Mr. Wang!"

"General Zuo's kindness, I appreciate it." Wang Sheng was not very enthusiastic when he heard the words, "It's just that the censor is here for state affairs, and he can't be perfunctory."

"Yes!" Seeing Wang Sheng's serious expression, Liu Jing was a little afraid of him, so he subconsciously responded.He scratched his head, and comforted: "Sir, don't worry, after the censor finds out, if you want to come, Brother Wang will also understand Mr.'s painstaking efforts."

Wang Sheng smiled lightly, but did not answer.Although Liu Jing felt that the smile was very perfunctory and not sincere, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he had never seen such a smile on the prime minister's face, so he thought it was nothing strange.Seeing Wang Sheng's tired face, he knew that he had been meeting officials from the original Wei state these days, so he stopped disturbing him and stood up to bid farewell to Wang Sheng: "Since sir won't let me complain, then I won't say anything. Sir If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first, and my husband will also go to bed early." After finishing speaking, he whispered to himself again: "The last time I didn't reply to the letter from Brother Wang, this time I just asked Yu Shi to help me bring it. go back……"

Unexpectedly, Wang Sheng stopped him suddenly, "General Zuo and the King often communicate by letter?"

"Yeah, Brother Wang and I have been writing to each other all the time." Seeing Wang Sheng staring at him, Liu Jing didn't know why Wang Sheng was suddenly interested in this matter, and said shyly, "But Brother Wang and I rarely talk to each other. It’s business, most of them are some interesting things that happened recently, tell them to the other party.”

Wang Sheng secretly sighed in his heart.He stayed in Shuzhong for a year, and there were only four or five letters to Liu Fu, all of which were sent to Chang'an by him about the governance of Shuzhong. .For the monarch and the prime minister, this is naturally a normal thing, but he...

Wang Sheng lowered his eyes, hiding the look of admiration in his eyes, and led Liu Jing to sit down again, and asked, "I don't know how your Majesty is in Chang'an?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Brother Wang said he is not very well."

"How is your Majesty?" Wang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked with concern.

Liu Jing shrugged his shoulders, as if he was holding back a laugh. After a while, he finally couldn't hold it back, and laughed out loud, "Brother Wang said that he has been growing a beard recently, and the beard on his lips is not half long. , like pasting two pieces of bear wool felt, and said that now is the ugliest time in his life. Hahahaha! He also said...he doesn't want to see people now, and said that every time he goes to court, the ministers under him will be alone Everyone stared at his beard, wishing he could see a hole, as if their own beards were brought out of their mother's womb when they were born. I... I can just close my eyes and figure it out The way he said that! Haha..."

Wang Sheng had never seen such a lively side of Liu Fu, but for some reason, he seemed to be able to imagine Liu Fu's expression when he wrote this passage, and couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling.Thinking that when he returned to Chang'an, Liu Fu should have already grown his beard, but it was a pity.

Seeing that Wang Sheng, who was always serious, was actually amused by him, Liu Jing was almost flattered for a moment, rolled his eyes, and tried hard to recall the content of the letter between him and Liu Fu. "Ah! That's right," he continued, "Brother Wang even mentioned Mr. Wang to me!"

"Your Majesty mentioned me?" Wang Sheng's heart moved, he held the teacup with his right hand, and said calmly, "What did Your Majesty say in the letter?"

"He said that he has always wanted to eat Luoyang water banquet again, but unfortunately he can only be greedy in Chang'an. Mr. can stay in Luoyang for a year, but he can't appreciate the beauty of delicacies, and he probably won't eat it once. ..." Liu Jing paused, and suddenly worried that Wang Sheng would blame Liu Fu for not doing his job properly, but the words were out of his mouth, and he didn't care that he seemed to have sold his brother again this time, so he had to bite the bullet and continue, "It's really It's a waste of money."

Wang Sheng was not annoyed, he just shook his head and sighed.

"It's getting late, General Zuo, let's go back and rest. I still have some business to do, so I won't send it off." Wang Sheng stood up and made a gesture.

Liu Jing lamented how the prime minister seemed to throw it away when he was done using it, but he could only slander him, stood up and said goodbye.

After sending Liu Jing away, Wang Sheng returned to the case and drafted a memorial to entrust the censor to submit Liu Fu.He lit up the oil lamp, thought for a while and wrote:

"When I first arrived in Luoyang, I visited various counties. Within three days, I saw more than ten thousand people. It is not a pain to eat at the same time. When the king sees doubts, he begins to feel tired."

He doesn't care what other people say or think, and it doesn't affect his actions.He had expected that someone would impeach him for this matter, but he thought that Liu Fu would entrust him with the full power of the Sizhou affairs, and he would give him all the trust as usual, so he never thought about explaining this matter .That's why when he saw Chu Yuyuan today, his surprise showed on his face.After all, he could ignore other people's opinions, but Liu Fu's imperial edict really took root in his heart.

When he was writing here, he suddenly paused, came back to his senses, picked up the memorial and looked at it for a while, then shook his head, leaned closer to the lamp and burned it.

Wang Sheng sighed, raised his hand and pressed the bridge of his nose.He had interviewed more than a hundred officials from the former Wei state in the past few days, and he didn't feel very tired at first, but after meeting Chu Yuyuan, a sense of loss of strength spread from every part of his body, making him feel like he couldn't even write. It's hard work.I don't know if he was influenced by the conversation between Cai Cai and Liu Jing just now, so he accidentally wrote down these words. Although they were all words in his heart, if he said them, he would inevitably lose the distinction of being a minister.

He stared blankly at the cluster of lights burning silently on the desk for a moment, then took the paper again in silence, and said word by word:

"The prime minister, the governor of Sizhou, the minister Wang Sheng would like to play

The minister thought that if he wanted to govern his people, he must first calm down his mind.When the minister first arrived in Luoyang, the people waited and watched, and their hearts were floating.The ministers were divided into counties, saw more than 35 people, listened to their lawsuits, tried their grievances, and killed [-] powerful people.With the king's wisdom, he should be able to examine his internal affairs, and I ask you to present the matter as left..."
