[Rebirth] Emperor Yonggao Ji

The court meeting on the second day was held as usual, the floor tiles in the Xuanzheng Hall had already been wiped clean, the officials stood in the hall, and the most prime minister's seat was vacant.I heard that the imperial physician was announced in the prime minister's mansion yesterday, so it's normal that the prime minister didn't come today - and it's not unexpected at all.Normally at this time, the king would go to the prime minister's mansion to attend to the sickness in person according to the usual practice, and the court meeting would inevitably not be held, but at this time the king was sitting at the head of the palace, which inevitably made some people's thoughts lively.

Even the dullest person would not think that this court meeting will be as usual, because there is a scary gash on the king's neck, which is still glowing red, obviously it was newly cut not long ago.Yesterday when they greeted him, there was no such wound, and after that, the king didn't see anyone, so he only summoned the prime minister...

This is really scary.

"Don't peek," Liu Fu rubbed his neck, "I practiced the sword yesterday and cut it myself."

Who doesn't know Liu Fu's swordsmanship, he likes to dance swords when he is drunk, they have seen it many times, and they have never seen him cut himself once.Hearing what Liu Fu said, everyone couldn't help thinking more.

"Your Majesty," Chu Yuyuan came out and said, "I want to impeach the prime minister for violating the king's order, and for missing the Xiangyang matter."

Next, after Chu Yuyuan sent Liu Fu's three orders, Wang Sheng and the officials' reactions, Wang Sheng's explanations to the officials and the actions they took told him in detail. It was impossible to tell from his expression whether he was angry or not, and when Chu Yuyuan finished speaking, he nodded, "Then let's discuss this matter today, talk about it, and say what you have to say."

"By the way," Liu Fu handed the three letters to the palace servants, "These are the three replies from the prime minister after I ordered them, please read them by the censor."

"Yes." Chu Yuyuan read out Wang Sheng's three replies one by one. The words in them were familiar to everyone, and Wang Sheng had brought them up early in the morning when they were arguing in court.

There was a buzz among the ministers, and He Tong first said: "Your Majesty, it is true that the prime minister disobeyed the king's order, and it was false that he lost Xiangyang. The fall of Xiangyang was due to the earthquake and the wall was damaged. If it were not so, it would have lasted until the king returned. Teacher. General You once assured the prime minister that he would stay there for another two months, and the prime minister had an agreement with him for two months, so he did not move."

"He Shizhong said that the fall of Xiangyang was due to the earthquake, not because the prime minister did not send reinforcements. The minister thought it was otherwise." Jingzhao bid farewell to Wei Dadao: "Battles change rapidly and are unpredictable. If Xiangyang is well-prepared, it will be able to defend despite natural disasters." , cannot shirk the prime minister's responsibility for defeating the army."

Zhao Yuandao: "I think it is the best policy for the Prime Minister to abandon Xiangyang and protect Chang'an. If the Prime Minister really pours out the troops of Chang'an and rushes to help Xiangyang, causing Chang'an to fall to the enemy, and we will all be homeless. Wouldn't the harm be far greater than losing Xiangyang?"

Liu Jing also stood up, "I think that if the prime minister sends troops, whether Chang'an will be lost or whether Xiangyang can be defended is still uncertain, so we should only pursue the crime of violating orders."

Chu Yuyuan also said: "Whether to send troops or not is indeed justified, and I also think that only the crime of disobedience should be investigated."

"If the king's order is wrong and the prime minister disobeys it, it is due to the country. What is the crime?" Kuai Mao suddenly said, "Conversely, if the king's order is correct and the prime minister disobeys it, causing the country to fall, is there no crime for defeating the army?"

As soon as these words came out, the court fell silent for a moment, and even Liu Fu's expression changed slightly.Kuai Mao paused, then continued: "If the king's order is wrong and the prime minister obeys it, who will be responsible for the crime? My Dayong's law is to disobey the king's order and deny the crime, but also to punish the king's order. result in a conviction?"

Liu Fu smiled, besides Wang Sheng, he was the one who could bluntly say "the king's order is wrong" in the court.

Tingwei Zhang Qingdao: "In the past, the former general mobilized troops and horses to pursue the Liang army without authorization. Although he returned a big victory, the court still demoted him as a partial general. This time, he made many achievements in the battle of destroying Zhao, so he was reappointed as the former general. General Outside, if everyone goes their own way and ignores the king's order, the country will be in chaos after a long time."

Kuai Mao asked: "Does the Tingwei think that the only thing to look at is whether you obey the king's order?"

Zhang Qing shook his head, "It depends on the outcome of course. Wang Shangshuchen said bluntly, if the former general pursued Liang Jun instead of winning, but returned after a big defeat, it would definitely not be the result of being demoted to a partial general."

"The prime minister disobeyed the order first, and the second was defeated. In this way——"

"This brings me back to what I said just now, whether Xiangyang will be lost, and whether Chang'an will be lost..."

"The Prime Minister is here!" The guard at the door suddenly shouted loudly.

In addition to the sword shoes on the palace, Liu Fu also gave Wang Sheng the privilege of entering the court and not being famous, so at this time the guards did not directly call Wang Sheng by his name, but only called his official position, but "Prime Minister" The word was being torn back and forth on the cusp of the storm, when it was shouted from the mouth of the guard, everyone couldn't help but look back.

Wang Sheng walked into the hall very slowly, looking as if he was about to fall down at any time, but in the end he slowly passed the crowd, went to the head of the hall and knelt down, "The court will be late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Liu Fu raised his hand, without pursuing it, "Get a seat for the prime minister."

"How dare you accept the seat while wearing a sinful body?" Wang Sheng still knelt at the same place, took off the seal from his waist and held it up with both hands. With this movement, everyone could clearly see that the palm of his right hand was wrapped with a thick strip of cloth. Looking at the injury on Liu Fu's neck, I don't know what happened yesterday.

Wang Sheng continued: "I would like to resign as prime minister."

As soon as the words fell, the hall suddenly became strangely quiet, there was not even a whisper, and a needle could be heard for a while.Liu Fu stared at him, and moved his fingers lightly on the armrest. After a while, he said, "Sure." Because of the silence in the hall, the sound seemed to come from afar, with a Point to the reverberation that makes countless people palpitate.

The palace servants stepped forward, collected Wang Sheng's official seal, held it in their hands, walked up the steps, and carefully placed it on Liu Fu's case.This official seal, which represented the highest power in the foreign court of Yong, and had not been given to anyone else since Liu Fu personally placed it in Wang Sheng's hands five years ago, was put back on his desk like this.

Liu Fu fiddled with the prime minister's seal, and remained silent for a while with his eyes downcast.Wang Sheng gave him a step down, so he naturally had to reciprocate courtesy and give Wang Sheng a step down, not to mention that his court always had him Wang Jinghuan.Liu Fu raised his eyes, looked at Wang Sheng and said, "I am ordering you to be Governor of Taiyuan. You will leave for the post within ten days. Does Aiqing have any objections?"

"Your order is accepted, thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Sheng fell down with difficulty, and it took him a long time to straighten up again.

Liu Fu nodded, picked up another set of seals that had been placed on it from the case, and handed them to the palace servants. This is the seal of Taiyuan Mansion that he ordered someone to engrave overnight, and it really came in handy today—— You see, at this point, there is still such a tacit understanding between him and Wang Sheng, and they can sing a good show together without a rehearsal, no matter whether the audience is He Wu, who is about to grow old and dim-sighted, or the group of people in the court minister.

The palace servants held the seal, walked down the steps again, and brought it to Wang Sheng.Wang Sheng took it with both hands, and the palace man bent down and untied the goldfish bag on his waist, and gave him a silver one, and Wang Sheng also took it and held it in his hand.

At the court meeting just now, the unresolved problem that had been debated for half an hour was solved by Wang Sheng himself, and Liu Fu thanked him a little bit, after all, his prime minister is always so comprehensive.If it wasn't for Wang Sheng walking too slowly, maybe they didn't need to argue for so long—Liu Fu has no doubts at all, Wang Sheng walked slowly from the gate of Chang'an Palace to Xuanzheng Hall step by step. of.However, although he arrived late, he was late just right, which was his usual style.

"Is there anything else Aiqing wants to play?" Seeing that Wang Sheng was still up, Liu Fu asked.

"Your Majesty, I would like to invite an army to recover Xiangyang."

Liu Fu laughed hehehe as if he had heard something very funny, his shoulders kept trembling. After a while, the laughter stopped suddenly. Looking at his face again, there was no trace of a smile on his face, "The matter of recovering Xiangyang, Don't bother Aiqing. I will lead my troops to the south and ride the Yangtze River to hate with blood."

Wang Sheng was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Yes." After he finished speaking, he was about to stand up, but he couldn't get up after tossing for a long time. The man went forward and helped Wang Sheng to stand up.Wang Sheng thanked in a low voice, then retreated to the first place as usual, paused, moved his steps, and walked slowly to the back of the crowd.He found his own place according to his rank, and as soon as he stood there, the people on the left and right hurriedly made room for him with a bit of panic, and the palace man laid out a seat in the vacant place, and Wang Sheng knelt down on top.He was still wearing a purple court dress, which couldn't be changed in court, and looked a little dazzling in the crowd of crimson colors.

Liu Fu withdrew his gaze, stood up and said, "I'm not feeling well today, so let's stop here first and leave the court."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and strode away without even looking down.

There was a young man who was kneeling in the Zichen Palace and waiting for him. Liu Fu looked at him from behind for a while, and then walked forward after he got himself together, "Geng Yu, right?"

The young man looked up at him, then quickly lowered his head, "Go back to the king, he is the last general."

Liu Fu smiled slightly, "A general of a thousand men, are you still afraid of raising your head?"

Geng Yu raised his head, took out a secret letter from his arms, and raised his hands above his head, "My lord, this is from the right general to the last general, so the last general must deliver it to the king himself."

Liu Fu took the letter, checked the sealing seal on it, and when he was about to open it, he heard Geng Yu say: "The right general asked the last general to tell the king: We don't have a single coward in Xiangyang!"

Liu Fu's hands paused, and he sighed, "It's the imperial court that has lost to Xiangyang, and Xiangyang is worthy of the imperial court."

When Geng Yu heard this, his eyes filled with tears, he slammed his head on the ground, let out a muffled "boom", choked up and said: "Of the [-] defenders in Xiangyang City, there are only ten ministers and others left! The rest of them all fought death, until the day the city is broken, no one will turn to the enemy..."

Liu Fu's eyes became hot at what he said, and he sighed with tears in his eyes. He opened the secret letter and took out the letter paper inside.Geng Yu didn't know what the "state affairs" that Liu Hao asked him to send no matter what, he looked up at Liu Fu at this moment, and saw that he looked at the letter for a long time without saying a word. Ask, but not qualified, can only wait silently.

Liu Fu put down the letter and looked down at him for a while, Geng Yu also looked back at him, forgetting whether he offended or not.He stared at Liu Fu's eyes, and couldn't look away for a moment - after he drank a bowl of water with the right general, he also looked at himself with the same expression.

Geng Yu's eyes were wet again.

Liu Fu suddenly threw the letter paper lightly on him, Geng Yu quickly picked it up and read it, but he turned over the letter paper several times in a row, but no matter how you looked at it, there were two blank sheets of paper, he held the letter paper in his hand, Looking up at Liu Fu, "Your Majesty, this..."

"General You's intentions are all in this letter."

Seeing that Geng Yu was still puzzled, Liu Fu raised his hand and stroked his forehead, and gently brushed his palm over his eyes, "Xiangyang City is about to be destroyed, so there is no military report to write. General You asked you to deliver a letter, but I just don't want to Let you be buried with him in Xiangyang City. He wrote me a letter before, telling me about your defeat of the enemy, saying that you are a general, and he wants to leave a good seed for me in the end... ..."

Geng Yu raised his head in a daze, and after a while, he put the two pieces of white paper on the ground, bent down deeply, knocked his head on them, and cried loudly.

Liu Fu also wanted to cry with him, but he still had to hold on to his identity, he could only clenched his hands into fists while Geng Yu was lying on the ground, and suppressed his emotions.He stabilized his voice, "You have made meritorious deeds in protecting Xiangyang many times. Now that Xiangyang is broken, it is not your fault. You still have to reward for your deeds. I will promote you to General Zhechong, ranking fifth rank, which is not in vain. I hope that you will eventually become a great general and grow into a towering tree in the future, and you will live up to the expectations of me and the right general."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to receive this reward." Geng Yu raised his head, his face looked like he had just been fished out of the water, "The whole city will die, and the last general will receive the reward alone. Swear not to do this!"

"No promotion? Good!" Liu Fu nodded, "Then what do you want?"

Geng Yu kowtowed again, "If your majesty wants to recover Xiangyang, please use your minister as the vanguard!"

Liu Fu smiled, "Even if you don't say it yourself, I will let you take the lead."

"Please use the sword again, Your Majesty."

Liu Fu was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand what he meant, he untied the sword from his waist and handed it to him.Geng Yu took it, drew out his long sword, rolled up the cuff of his left arm, and the arm was bleeding, "The last general swears that he will kill all the southern thieves and recover Xiangyang, in order to repay the kindness of the king and the right general!"

Liu Fu helped him up, "How can a man's blood be shed in vain? On the battlefield in the future, the general must not forget what he said today."

Geng Yu held up Xingwen Yinhong's sword and returned it to him, "If Geng Yu doesn't die, he will have blood and hatred!"

"My lord, don't wait any longer, get in the car." Li Jiu accompanied Wang Sheng to wait outside the car for half an hour, but couldn't see it anymore, so he stepped forward to persuade him.They were about to set off for Taiyuan, and when the carriage reached the outskirts of Chang'an City, Wang Sheng suddenly got off the carriage and said that he would wait.Of course Li Jiu knew who he was waiting for, but he couldn't help beating his heart: Will the king really come?

Wang Sheng raised his hand and pointed to the distance, "It seems that someone is coming."

Li Jiu cheered up, and hurriedly looked in the direction Wang Sheng pointed, but his excited expression suddenly disappeared.Wang Sheng's eyes couldn't see the distance clearly, but his eyes were very good. Li Jiu hesitated, and said to Wang Sheng: "My lord, it's General Zuo who is here."

Wang Sheng nodded, but his expression didn't change much.It's just that Li Jiu has been with him for a few years, and he has already figured out his thoughts. If he said just now that he is the king, he will move forward quickly if he doesn't say anything—hey, Li Jiu sighed. It has been several days since I saw a smile on Wang Sheng's face.

Liu Jing got off his horse and gave a salute to Wang Sheng before he stepped forward and said, "Mister is going to Taiyuan to take up his post. I don't know what you need. Are you ready? Brother Wang asked Liu Jing to see you off. If there is any omission or inconvenience , Liu Jing bought it for Mr.

"I'm sorry for your troubles, the King and General Zuo. The subordinate officials have already taken care of everything." Wang Sheng's voice was still a little weak, and he didn't know if he was still ill.

Hearing that Wang Sheng called himself a "lower official", Liu Jing couldn't help trembling from head to toe, and hurriedly took a step back, sweat oozing from his forehead, "Sir, you've broken Liu Jing! You have taught Liu Jing a lot, Liu Jing You have always been a teacher, how dare you be like this!"

Liu Jing didn't know what his words made Wang Sheng think of. He even smiled when he heard the words, and a gentle look appeared on his pale face.Wang Sheng made a "please" gesture to Liu Jing, Liu Jing understood, and as he walked slowly in front of the carriage, Wang Sheng took a few steps and asked, "Is your majesty okay? "

"Brother Wang passed out from shortness of breath when he was in Taiyuan, but his body is fine. He is as strong as a cow. Don't worry, sir." Liu Jing replied, suddenly realizing what Wang Sheng asked, and hurriedly continued: " Ah, about my uncle, Brother Wang has played with his flute every day for the past few nights, crying while blowing it, and he insisted on pulling me to listen, even if I didn’t listen. I was born late, and I went to war when I was not a few years old. , not as deep as the relationship between him and his uncle, but listening to him brag like this, hey..." Liu Jing touched his head, not knowing what he was talking about, and comforted him: "Don't worry, sir, brother Wang is like this After a while, nothing will happen."

"Wang Shangxin is high-minded and sharp, and he is a heroic master. However, it is easy to break when the front is over, and it is easy to break after the first time. I have to trouble General Zuo to persuade me more." Wang Sheng has remonstrated with a public heart a few days ago, but he has never had the opportunity to persuade him with a selfish heart. Now he is leaving Immediately, I had to pretend to be someone else.He looked at Liu Jing, and said: "Your Majesty is too sentimental. The right general died in battle. I'm afraid it's unavoidable. I'm not in Chang'an, please take care of the left general. Don't let him get depressed and become ill and ruin his body."

Liu Jing saw that Wang Sheng's own face turned pale again during the speech, and hurriedly responded: "Liu Jing knows, sir, don't worry, sir, you should also cherish your body, don't think too much... the incident in Xiangyang is really not strange. gentlemen."

"If there are no accidents, the king should send troops south next year to recover Xiangyang." Wang Sheng raised his hand to stop him, his voice lowered, and his feet became slower and slower, "The king hates the people of Liang deeply. If the army advances lightly, or there is an act of massacring the city or surrendering, if the left general is at the side at that time, and the general Wan Wang persuades the king, remember to put the overall situation first."

Liu Jingjing nodded, and was about to say yes, when Wang Sheng suddenly stopped, leaning on the shaft of the car with one hand, and slowly bent down, the blood on his face faded away.Liu Jing hurriedly supported him, "Sir, if you can't take it anymore, I'll tell Brother Wang not to let you go to Taiyuan, and stay in Chang'an to recuperate."

Wang Sheng patted his hand on his arm. Although Liu Jing was worried, he had no choice but to let him go. "Dayong has newly acquired Zhao's land for hundreds of miles, and the old capital of Zhao's country. It's too much to do. It's hard for others to take on this task." Wang Sheng panted slightly. He straightened up, and in the end he looked a little stooped.He slowed down for a while, and looked at Liu Jing seriously, "I'm fine, it's just that I got some wind just now, and I'll be fine in a few days. You don't need to tell the king about this, so as not to annoy him again at this time. "

Although his voice was low, his tone was unquestionable, still the tone of a prime minister.With a sore nose, Liu Jing agreed, "Yes."

"I wonder if the king has something to ask the general to bring?" Wang Sheng asked suddenly.

Liu Jing looked at his expression, couldn't bear to say Liu Fu's original words, thought for a while and said, "Brother Wang said, let Mr. take good care of his health in Taiyuan and don't overwork him. He will miss Mr. in Chang'an."

"The general's kindness, I appreciate it." Wang Sheng smiled lightly, "Didn't your majesty bring any words?"

Liu Jing saw that the rhetoric he made up couldn't deceive him, so he had to truthfully say: "Yes, brother Wang asked me to tell my husband..." He paused, embarrassed for a while, and still told Liu Fu's account verbatim He repeated, "He said to let Mr. take good care of the injury on his hand, and take good care of the hand that holds the pen. Don't ruin it. He will write in the future."

Even Liu Jing felt that these words were a bit cold, but Wang Sheng smiled when he heard the words——Liu Jing could see that he really smiled this time.

He didn't know that when Liu Fu deliberately asked him to go out of the city to spread the word, he was not just talking about this hand injury.
