[Rebirth] Emperor Yonggao Ji

When Liu Fu became the queen, he first set up various government offices. All the ministers started in the grass, and they were confused about their own duties. However, Liu Fu led the troops to the expedition not long after he became the queen, leaving only Wang Sheng to guard the pass. It took half a month to travel all over Chang'an, sending out ten letters in a row, and finally let everyone know their duties.

On this day, Wang Sheng was about to go back to Xiangfu by car, when the frame of the car was suddenly stopped by someone.The accompanying soldiers were about to drive them away when Wang Sheng heard the argument outside, so he hurriedly got up and went outside to check.Seeing that the person blocking the car was a one-armed civilian in common clothes, he shouted back at the guards, got out of the car and asked, "What grievance do you have?"

When the man saw Wang Sheng, he knelt down, propped his only arm on the ground, looked up at Wang Sheng and said, "The villain didn't dare to stop the prime minister's carriage, but I really feel aggrieved, so I have to sue! His name is Yang Jiu. He used to be a soldier. He made some military exploits. Later, he was injured. The court gave the villain [-] yuan and seven acres of land in the suburbs of Chang'an. Although the villain only has one arm left, it can only be counted as He is only half a person, but he can still work hard and live on. Three days ago, people from the imperial court happened to trample on the villain's field on horseback, and trampled half of the villain's crops! It's autumn harvest time, and the crops will mature in two days. Once the stubble is harvested, we can not only hand over grain to the court, but also prepare some grain to prevent famines. If you step on it, the villain will not be able to survive this year! Last year and the year before were both famine years, and this year we managed to have a bumper harvest. If there is no food, next year, if there is another famine year, the villain's whole family will starve to death. There are four children in the villain's family. When the mouth is strong..."

Wang Sheng listened patiently for a while, and saw that he was only complaining, so he interrupted him, and said softly, "Have you ever gone to see Lieutenant Sili? The government office where the imperial court Jing Zhaoyin is located is not complete. Major and minor cases, involving officials of the DPRK and China, are temporarily in the charge of Colonel Sili, and if there is any grievance, it should be reported to Captain Sili."

"I found it! The villain has been a soldier for several years, and he also knows the rules of our court. If something happens, you have to go to the government, and the villain will report it to the official right away, but the government said it doesn't matter. In the end, they said they wanted to investigate. Half of the villain’s crops fell, who couldn’t see it? When the villain returned, he waited for the government to send someone to investigate. The villain is not allowed to enter. The villain really has no choice, and he can't swallow this breath. If the government manages this matter, he will not dare to disturb the prime minister with ten courage of the villain. It's just that the government is protecting Hai Qihou. But he doesn’t care about our life or death. Our king said the year before last that if officials and soldiers trampled on the farmland, no matter how big the officials are, they will be imprisoned and compensated. The villain remembers it clearly. The villain reported to the officials before, but in fact I just want to make the government pay the villain more, let the villain get over this year's hurdle, but the villain would rather live with his belt tighter now, and don't want him to lose money, just want some justice, and want to let the villain step on the straw Two years in jail! Prime Minister, tell me, is the law we posted everywhere still useful?"

"The law is of course useful." Wang Sheng frowned, "You just said that it was Marquis Hai Qi who trampled on your crops. Are you sure? Did you tell Captain Sili?"

"I can be sure! The villain was a soldier before, so he knew Hai Qihou. The villain saw it for sure. The one who stepped on my rice that day was definitely Hai Qihou. That's right. The villain dared to take the head on the neck. Guarantee! The villain also told the people in the Sili Mansion, because they didn't care about it after telling the government that he was Hai Qihou."

Wang Sheng's face was slightly gloomy, and after thinking for a while, he calmed down and said to him, "Don't worry, my Dayong's law, as long as it is finalized, will be effective at any time. You go back first, and I will send someone to investigate the matter. If it is found out, Hai Qihou will be detained in accordance with the law, and all officials below Sili Xiaowei and below will be punished. Your rice was trampled by someone in the government, and the government will naturally compensate you for all the losses. If you still refuse to accept , come to Xiangfu to find me."

The man kowtowed three times to Wang Sheng, raised the empty sleeve of his left arm, and said to Wang Sheng: "Prime Minister, this villain's arm was lost when he hit Gaoling. I have killed a few people on the battlefield, but without this arm, the villain lives on such a little land now, the prime minister must make decisions for the villain!" After speaking, he was a little choked up, and Wang Sheng helped him up, quite a bit. Wei moved his face and said: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, let alone a person with meritorious service? Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation on behalf of the Majesty."

This person got Wang Sheng's promise and went there with great gratitude. As soon as Wang Sheng returned to the prime minister's mansion, he called Ting Wei and asked him to investigate the matter himself immediately.Ting Wei took a look at the sky, and originally wanted to ask "Are you going tonight?" But after seeing Wang Sheng's expression, he knew that there was no room for negotiation, so he had to check it overnight.

After Ting Wei left, Wang Sheng changed into his regular clothes and was about to eat, when he raised his chopsticks, he suddenly remembered something, and asked casually, "Is there any news from your Majesty at the front line today?"

"Return to the prime minister, there is no news."

Wang Sheng paused for a moment when he picked up the vegetables, and then secretly said that if he cared about it, he would be chaotic.A few days ago, Liu Fu sent the news of the defeat of Zhao Jun in Wucheng, which was exactly the same as what they had expected before the expedition. If Liu Fu had no squadron at this time, he should be cleaning up the scattered Zhao Jun in Anyi and other places. It should be returned within half a month.When the army is away, if there is no special military situation, it is normal for a day or a few days in a row that no military report is sent, but when he comes here, as long as Liu Fu does not receive a military report back to Chang'an for a day, he can't help but worry secretly. I have to ask three or four times a day.

That day Ye Tingwei came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report the case, saying that what the veteran said was basically true, that it was Hai Qi Houyin who ran out of the hunting ground while hunting, and trampled on the farmland when he led his men to hunt, causing more than half of the veteran's crops to be destroyed. Wei also accepted the matter, but never sent anyone to arrest Hai Qihou.

After hearing Tingwei's reply, Wang Sheng's face sank like water, put on his clothes, ordered Tingwei to arrest Haiqihou Liu De immediately, and at the same time called Sili Xiaowei to come to Xiangfu for questioning overnight.

When Wu Guang, captain of the Sili school, arrived, Wang Sheng had been waiting in front of the case for a long time. Seeing Wu Guang bowing down, he didn't let him get up, and asked, "Two days ago, a farmer named Yang Jiu went to your Sili mansion to report him. Liu De, Marquis of Haiqi, led people to trample on his farmland, Colonel Sili, have you heard of this incident?"

Wu Guang fell on the ground, he was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then said: "The lower official has never heard of this matter, maybe someone under his command took over."

Wang Sheng never expected that he would dare to answer truthfully in front of him. Hearing this, he put down the document he was looking at, and his expression became more and more serious, "Since I called you here late at night, I have already sent someone to check. Listen to what you say. Do you think that if you don't admit it, I won't be able to cure your crime!"

Wu Guangdao: "Since the prime minister has already found out, why bother to ask the next official?"

Wang Sheng stopped entangled with him, stood up and said, "Come here! Take my seal, go to Sili mansion quickly, collect the seal of Sili school lieutenant, and send it here."

Wu Guang was startled, and wanted to get up, but was held down by the guards in the prime minister's mansion, and struggled: "What is my crime?"

"What's the crime?" Wang Sheng bypassed the table case and walked in front of him, "Now that Jing Zhaoyin has not dealt with the affairs, all cases in the capital are in charge of the Sili Mansion. Since you are the captain of Sili, you should act impartially. Detaining Liu De in accordance with the law and punishing him according to the law, but instead bending the law for personal gain and making excuses, why do you still ask me what is my crime?"

Wu Guang said coldly: "Since the king started his army, I have made little achievements in the past few years. Later, the king was kind to me, thinking of my little work, and ordered me to be the captain of Sili. But he also eats a thousand stones and is an important minister in the court. I am afraid that it is not appropriate for the prime minister to hand in the official seal of the lower official without the permission of the king? Besides, the matter of Marquis Haiqi is not a big deal at all. After all, it is just a few acres of rice It’s nothing but the damage, but the prime minister wants to take the opportunity to make trouble. If the news of the prime minister’s move today, it will make people feel that the prime minister is suspected of crushing the courtiers.”

Wang Cheng was furious when he heard the words: "Wu Guang! You know that you are an official of Qianshi, with a high position and authority, but you don't want to set an example for the officials. Instead, you corrupt the country's law and take pride in your achievements. What face do you have to talk about the king! Officials are dead But if the law doesn’t work, if the law doesn’t work, the country will be in chaos, do you want to bring chaos to the country by yourself?”

After finishing speaking, Wang Cheng raised the long sword on the table with both hands, held it in front of his chest, and said: "Whoever sees this sword is like seeing the king. Before leaving, the king ordered me to temporarily act on behalf of the state, and gave me the right to make decisions on the fly. Anyone who refuses to accept it can be killed immediately. You are now disrupting the law and harming the country, disrupting the government, and making the new law go ahead, causing the court to lose trust in the people. Even if you die, you cannot escape the blame! I can kill it, let alone pay you a seal!"

His words were stern, Wu Guang saw that he was weak, he looked down on him, and he was proud of himself, but Wang Sheng didn't dare to do anything to him, his face changed when he heard the words, knowing that his life was really in Wang Sheng's hands, he couldn't help but Sweating profusely, he kowtowed and said, "Prime Minister, please calm down! I'm the one who speaks unintentionally. Please forgive my sin! The prime minister has learned that the next official has absolutely no intention of corrupting the law of the country or disturbing the intention of the court. When I first heard about Marquis Hai Qi's behavior, I was deeply impressed." I feel disgusted, but Hai Qihou is both a clan and deeply loved by the king, the lower officials are really in a dilemma, I don't know how to deal with it..."

"But it's just dealt with in accordance with the law. Is there anything else?"

Wu Guang gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "The prime minister should also know that the mother of Hai Qihou is the queen mother's younger sister. Since the queen mother passed away, the king has always respected her. Since entering Chang'an, he has designated Ganquan Palace Let her live. Mrs. Xiaolun has only one son, Hai Qihou, who dotes on him in every possible way on weekdays, and Mrs. Xiaolun is the most protective. There is one thing that the prime minister may not know. When the king first raised troops a few years ago, Hai Qihou and A quarrel broke out and the man was killed. The king had just broken the high tomb at that time, and he had just ordered the murderer to die, and Hai Qihou committed the crime with the back foot. The king ordered the officials to arrest Hai Qihou, saying To make him pay for his life, Mrs. Xiaolun quarreled with the king for a long time, but she didn't know what to say. Hai Qihou released him that night, and the official who was ordered to arrest him was found dead at home within a few days. So, let alone stepping on a few acres of crops? The lower official captured Hai Qihou today, don’t talk about this official hat tomorrow, I’m afraid he won’t even be able to keep the head on his neck! ..."

"The prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Since Marquis Hai Qi violated the law, he should be dealt with according to the law. As a lieutenant of Sili, since the national law is here, you can enforce the law like a mountain. Why hesitate and stop?" Wang Sheng said Carefully put the sword back on the case, turned around and ordered the guards to let go of Wu Guang, his voice slowed down, "I have ordered Tingwei to go and arrest him, and your Sili Mansion is not responsible for this case, and Tingwei will try it himself. The official seal is temporarily in custody, and you Go home and deal with the crime, and deal with it after the case is over."

Wu Guang stood up and received the official seal, but he smiled for some reason, "The prime minister doesn't know Hai Qihou, so I'm afraid this case won't be settled so easily."

Wang Sheng frowned slightly, thinking about the meaning of his words, and suddenly heard the report from Tingwei, and hurriedly let him in.After Ting Wei entered the door, he saw Wu Guang standing aside, he didn't pay attention, and said to Wang Sheng: "Prime Minister, I'm too late, and Hai Qihou has already escaped! I asked the servant of Hai Qihou's mansion. People all said that they didn't know where Hai Qihou was, and the officials searched, and Hai Qihou was indeed not in the mansion."

"Run away?" Wang Sheng's complexion changed slightly, he glanced at Wu Guang, saw that he had an expression of "as expected", and let him go down without saying anything.After pondering for a while, he said to Ting Wei: "As soon as I gave the order, you immediately went to get him. Liu De didn't have time to run away. It should be that when I ordered you to check the truth before, your subordinates leaked the news and revealed the matter to you. Liu De."

Ting Wei hurriedly knelt down, "Prime Minister, I'm not strict with you, please forgive me! It's just that Liu De was let go, but I didn't know about it, so I ordered my men to search and arrest him in the whole city."

"If you tell your men to arrest people, will Liu De be able to catch them?" Wang Sheng waved his hand and said, "There's no need to search, Liu De must be in Ganquan Palace."

Ting Wei was taken aback, and after a while, his eyebrows were pressed together, and he said in a deep voice: "The prime minister gave the officer a warrant, and the officer will go to Ganquan Palace to arrest someone!"

Seeing him like this, Wang Sheng felt a little comforted, his expression softened, and he said: "Liu De's crime is not serious, and it may be wrong to go to Ganquan Palace overnight to arrest people. You can go there after dawn tomorrow. Don't be too tough, you know?" ?”

"The subordinate understands!"

Wang Sheng asked Tingwei to go back to rest, but he himself did not feel sleepy, and sat in front of the desk and pressed the center of his eyebrows.The royal family is arrogant and domineering, the heroes and veterans are dissatisfied, and the court officials are flattering and bullying. Even the court officials he set up by himself have their own ghosts.Although he is the prime minister, he is in charge of the government, but he hangs in the middle of the court alone, holding back everywhere. As soon as Liu Fufang leaves, he immediately reaches the point where he can neither advance nor retreat.It seems that the muddy water in Guanzhong is even worse than that in Sichuan and Sichuan. If he doesn't use all his strength, the muddy water will never be cleared.

Wang Sheng knew that the contest between him and the officials would start tomorrow, with Liu De, Marquis of Haiqi.But I don't know how many courtiers there are in this court, how many Liu De, how many Wu Guang, and how many Wang Sheng are there?

While Wang Sheng was thinking, he pressed his abdomen lightly with his hand and tossed and tossed all night, the old disease seemed to be faintly showing signs of attack.If he gets sick again at this juncture, it will cause a lot of trouble, so he hastily asked his servants to cook some medicine left over from last time, and he drank it while it was hot.After taking the medicine, the abdominal pain seemed to be better. Wang Sheng raised his hand and gently touched the long sword on the table. His brows relaxed slightly. He took the top piece of paper from the right hand side of the table, and put Liu Fu After re-reading the last letter that was written about Wu Cheng's great victory, most of the fatigue in my heart disappeared in an instant.Wang Sheng touched the words on it, and murmured to the letter: "Your Majesty, Guanzhong is very difficult..."

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the house, and the soldier shouted: "Who is it!" At the same time, another child cried: "I want to see the prime minister! Let me go!" Put it back on the right hand side, got up to look, and saw a thin and small boy with blood on his face, crying under the hands of the guards, so he asked: "What's the matter? Let him go, let him slowly explain."

The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion let go of the boy, and the boy threw himself in front of Wang Sheng, crying, "My lord! The six members of our family were all killed except for me who escaped by chance!"

"Who are you?" Wang Sheng looked down at him, his heart moved, and his face sank slightly.

The boy replied: "My father's name is Yang Jiu, the prime minister just met today!"

Wu Guang: Look, I found a prime minister who is alone, let's scold him...
