[Rebirth] Emperor Yonggao Ji

Chapter 22

When Liu Fu walked out of the prime minister's mansion with his belly out, the moon was already in the sky. He returned to the bedroom slowly, touched his chest - it was broken, he forgot to give Wang Sheng something.Liu Fu thought about it for a while, and went to sleep with peace of mind. There will be more chances to see Wang Sheng in the future, and this time is not too bad.

There was a court meeting early in the morning on the second day. Since he became king, he ordered that the court should be held every three days.On this day, all the officials waited for a long time in the Xuanzheng Hall, and just when they thought they were about to hear the news of the cancellation of the court meeting, they saw that Liu Fu was late.Liu Fu is usually diligent in politics, but this time he is reluctant because his current appearance is too unreasonable.He was dressed in court clothes, with a splint on his left hand, and his right eye was bruised. He sat upright at the front of the hall, revealing a strange contrast in his whole body.

Liu Fu was not feeling well, and all the officials were not much better. They all looked down at the wat board in their hands, and then peeked at Liu Fu, and finally worked hard to keep their faces still.During a court meeting, the emperor and his ministers were all on pins and needles. Liu Fu and the officials discussed where to arrange He Wu's residence in Chang'an, and gave him a random title. He was relieved. When he was about to leave the court, he suddenly saw Tingwei Zhang Qing came out.

"Your Majesty, I have a performance."

"What's the matter, Lieutenant Ting?" Liu Fuben had already left his seat for a while, so he had to sit back again.

Zhang Qing said in a loud voice: "The captain of Sili has been dismissed, and the old minister is temporarily in charge of the criminal case in Chang'an. When the king went out to fight, there was a big case in Chang'an City, which shook the city. I dare not not report it. On the thirteenth day of this month, Hai Marquis Qi trampled on the paddy fields of a farmer named Yang Jiu in the suburbs of Chang'an, damaging four acres of farmland. Yang Jiu reported the matter to the Sili Office, and Sili Xiaowei suppressed the matter on the 1000th. On the same day, Yang Jiu reported the matter to the prime minister again. After verification, the prime minister ordered his minister to accept the seal of Sili Xiaowei for dereliction of duty, and ordered him to arrest Hai Qihou. After hearing the news in advance, Hai Qihou fled to Ganquan Palace. Two more assassins were sent to assassinate Yang Jiu's family that night, with the intention of killing them. Yang Jiu's family of six, the couple and three sons were all killed, and only the youngest son survived. One of the two assassins died, and the other He is still detained in the Tingwei Office. According to his account, Marquis Hai Qi is the mastermind behind the scenes. On the 5000th, the prime minister and his ministers went to Ganquan Palace to capture people, but Marquis Hai Qi resisted the arrest. Ganquan Palace. On the 500th, Marquis Hisense held a tiger talisman and privately transferred 1 guards and horses to surround the Habayashi Army and tried to break into the Ganquan Palace. At the same time, [-] villagers from Yang Jiutong Village also wanted to break in with farm tools. The prime minister held the tiger talisman Transferred [-] troops from Chang'an to Ganquan Palace. During this period, there was no conflict. Later, the prime minister ordered his ministers to arrest Li San and Liu Zhu, the leaders of the peasants, Haixinhou and three other guards. On the [-]th, Haiqihou surrendered himself. .The six people are now being held in the court officer's office. According to the law, they should be punished for the crime of treason. I ask the king to make a decision."

Whispering voices gradually sounded from among the courtiers, and Liu Fu's face froze.He didn't want to publicize this matter at first because he wanted to settle this matter as a family matter, but now Zhang Qing brought it up at the court meeting and let all the ministers know that this is a public discussion and a state matter.Liu Fu also knew that although this matter had never been brought up on the table, it must have spread among the courtiers, but no matter how fiercely they spread it, it was only in private, even if everyone knew it well, But as long as it is not made public at the court meeting, everyone can assume that they don't know about it, and when he handles it, he can also acquiesce that the courtiers don't know about it.

But now, Zhang Qing just uttered the facts that everyone already knew, but everything was very different.

Liu Fu stroked his collar and didn't speak for a long time.His complexion was really not good-looking, but Zhang Qing didn't intend to back down - it was pointless for him to back down now, not to mention that Liu Fu couldn't blame him at all, because he was just doing his own job.Liu Fu sneered slightly, he knew that Zhang Qing was just a pawn, and the person behind him was Wang Sheng who was recuperating at home.He was a little strange at first, Wang Sheng obviously didn't agree with him to forgive Liu De, but since the last time, he never advised him again, it stands to reason that Wang Sheng would not give up until he achieved his goal, now it seems that he was careless I didn't expect Wang Sheng to be here waiting for him.

At this time, he suppressed the matter again, although it was not impossible, but the price was too high, Liu Fu didn't say a word, his heart wavered.

When he didn't speak, He Tong came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Marquis Hai Qi's horrific act shocked Chang'an and disturbed the people of the country; Marquis Hai Xin's private mobilization of the army is regarded as conspiracy. cut!"

As soon as this remark came out, the Liu family in the court hall scolded one after another.Wei Da overcame the noise, and shouted to Liu Fu: "What the servant said is true. I think that apart from Hai Qihou and two, Li San and Liu Zhu encouraged the villagers to break into Ganquan Palace with iron tools. , should also be punished as the crime of conspiracy."

The palace people loudly reminded everyone to be quiet, and when the voice was quieter, another minister said: "there are as many as 500 people in the people, and we can't kill them all. Naturally, we can't kill these two alone. The minister thinks that these two people should be released and punished. Enlighten them, let the two return to their hometowns, and spread the court's kindness widely."

"No! If these people are not punished, wouldn't it be the beginning of the people relying on the crowd to disrupt the country?"

"Hisinhou's private transfer of the army is regarded as treason, so how can the prime minister be good at transferring the royal family Yulin?"

"The prime minister uses the sword given by the king and the tiger talisman to adjust the army. It is in line with the etiquette. Why not?"

"Okay!" Liu Fu had a headache, and suddenly got up to interrupt them, "We will discuss this matter at the next court meeting, and the court will be dismissed!"

As soon as Liu Fu went to court, before he had time to change his clothes, he heard a report from the palace man, saying that a dwarf who claimed to be an admonishing doctor asked to see him.Liu Fu said unhappily: "He is the advising doctor I just appointed, don't call yourself, let him in." Hearing Liu Fu's harsh words, the palace man was terrified, his eyes turned red, and tears were in his eyes Seeing that he was about to kneel down and plead guilty again, Liu Fu was afraid that he would really cry, and the headache would turn into reality, so he waved his hand and sent him away.

After Kuai Mao was introduced to salute, Liu Fu held onto his hand and walked inward, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "The doctor came to see me this morning when he arrived in Chang'an with the army, but what can you teach me?"

Kuai Mao said: "I have no way to teach the king. It's just that I heard many children singing a song in Chang'an market this morning. I thought it was necessary to let the king know."

"Oh, nursery rhymes?" Liu Fu asked someone to bring a mat, and sat opposite Kuai Mao, "It's no harm to listen to children's words. Please tell me, doctor."

"Yes." Kuai Mao cleared his throat and said slowly——

"The white-fronted tiger in the forest goes down the mountain to choose people to eat. Poor sons of good families, they all eat in their stomachs.

The eldest son chopped off the tiger's head, and his sharp teeth broke the spine.Er'er grabbed the tiger's palm and pierced his chest with his claws.

The third son's blood is gone, how can the fourth son be born.Both parents are gone, so how can we afford to die!

The son also cried, and the tiger roared.The elders did not dare to be angry, they abandoned their fields and ran away.

But ask the fearful who?Marquis of Chang'an Haiqi. "

Liu Fu's face slowly sank, "Who did you listen to, Doctor?"

"Many children in Chang'an are singing, and I heard it in several places in the city this morning. If your majesty doesn't believe it, you might as well walk around Chang'an Street yourself." Kuai Mao paused, and then said: "As for who taught it?" I don't know what they sang, I think the king will send someone to investigate and find out."

Liu Fu leaned on the table, supported his forehead with his hands, and said in a low voice: "There's no need to check, I know who it is."

Kuai Mao didn't speak. After a while, Liu Fu adjusted the expression on his face and said, "Thank you for your reminder, doctor. Go back first, doctor. There will be servants outside the palace to take you back to the mansion in a while, and I will send another official there to familiarize you with it." For political affairs, the court meeting will be held in three days, so don't forget, doctor."

"Thank you, my lord." Kuai Mao didn't say much, and left without hesitation.

After he left, Liu Fu's expression changed.He was alone in the hall, and there was a fire in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent it. He turned around twice anxiously, and suddenly pulled out his sword, looked around, and pushed the sword back fiercely.Liu De's case, it would have been fine if only the courtiers knew about it, but now it's making a fuss all over the city, fearing that it won't be spread quickly, they all made up a ballad!The public opinion is raging, and if he wants to be a wise king, he cannot disregard the public opinion, and must carefully maintain his image in the hearts of the people.Public opinion is like a knife, hanging over his head now, making him breathless, and making him dare not move lightly, because he knows that if he takes a careless step, the knife will fall.

Wang Sheng really played well.With only one melody and one ballad, he turned the family affairs that he wanted to solve privately into the affairs of the court, and turned the affairs of the court into the affairs of the whole country, and spread this matter under the sun and in full view of the public. Under the circumstances, he used courtiers and common people to force him to make a choice—he had no choice but to follow the line Wang Sheng had drawn for him.

OK!Wang Sheng, good!

Liu Fu kicked open the door and strode away.

When Liu Fu arrived at the prime minister's mansion, he was in vain.At this time, Wang Sheng, who was supposed to be recuperating at home, was not in the mansion. He went to the place where Liu De was detained.Wang Sheng ordered someone to open the cell door, and the door lock rattled. Liu De was sitting lifelessly leaning against a wall with a small window open, but when he heard the sound, he turned his head suddenly like a bird frightened.

"Prime Minister..." The jailer looked at Liu De, and then at Wang Sheng's body, hesitating whether to persuade Wang Sheng not to go in. If Liu De violently hurts others, Wang Sheng himself will definitely not be able to resist it. They It may not be too late to save each other through a door.Wang Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, and he didn't seem to be able to listen to the persuasion. The jailer opened his mouth, but finally opened the door without saying anything.

When Liu De heard the word "Prime Minister", he quickly got up from the ground and wanted to rush to the door, but halfway there, he stopped for some reason, staring at Wang Sheng closely, keeping a certain distance from him.When Wang Sheng entered, he was holding a mat in his hand. After entering, he spread it out on the ground, knelt and sat on it, and said with a smile, "Hai Qihou has suffered a lot these days."

Liu De looked at him suspiciously, but didn't answer, and sat across from Wang Sheng, silently waiting for him to speak again.He and this prime minister have only met twice, and they haven't said a word. There is no reason, but there is hatred.He has become a prisoner now, and the prime minister who forced him in with his own hands actually came to see him in the prison today, and he looked quite amiable, he really didn't know what it meant.

Wang Sheng looked around, frowned, and said, "The environment here is too bad, and the children of the royal family live in the same room as ordinary people. How do these people in the Ting Wei Department manage their affairs?"

Liu De was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Has my brother Wang come back?"

Wang Sheng was looking around, he was taken aback when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "How did Marquis Hai Qi know?"

Liu De sneered, "The food here has suddenly improved since the day before yesterday. At that time, I knew it must be my brother Wang who came back. Otherwise, how could you have such kindness?"

Wang Sheng just smiled and said nothing.

Liu De stared at Wang Sheng closely, with a malicious smile on his face, "Prime Minister is afraid now? How majestic he was when he surrounded Ganquan Palace! Isn't it?"

"Hey!" Wang Sheng sighed, and said in a low voice: "Marquis Hai Qi and I are ministers in the same palace, so he should be able to understand my difficulties. Today, there is no one else, so I will confide in my heart. The king is away on an expedition, and the ministers treat me a lot. If there is dissatisfaction, someone violated the state law at this time. If I do not act in accordance with the law, I am afraid that the courtiers will not agree. What's more, this matter will later involve hundreds of people. If I play favoritism, Chang'an will be in chaos? I, I will never let anything happen to Chang'an City in my hands, so I have to arrest this step and put on a show for the courtiers and the common people. Moreover, I transferred the Yulin Army because I really wanted to protect my step. I also know that those peasants came with farm tools. If it wasn’t for the Habayashi Army, they would have swarmed in. How many guards are there in Ganquan Palace? I also ask Marquis Hai Qi to forgive me."

Liu De folded his arms and remained silent, Wang Sheng said again: "I also know that it is inconvenient for Hai Qihou to suffer, and after Hai Qihou goes out, I will definitely go to Hai Qihou's mansion with a lot of money apologize."

The expression on Liu De's face loosened a bit. Seeing that Wang Sheng and the jailers here were both condescending and respectful to him, he was half-believed in his heart. He lowered his eyes, touched the floor tiles and said, "And my mother, She is so old, she must be disturbed by you."

"Yes, yes." Wang Sheng hurriedly said: "In a few days, I will definitely go to Oasis Palace to plead guilty to Mrs. Xiaolun." He paused, and then lowered his voice: "Then the king—"

Liu De looked up at the small window on the wall, and snorted, "Don't worry, I won't speak ill of you."

Wang Sheng smiled happily, bowed and said, "Then I would like to thank Marquis Hai Qi. It is inconvenient for me to stay here for too long, so I will take my leave first."

Unlike when Wang Sheng came, when he got up to leave, Liu De sat on the ground without moving.The door lock sounded again, and he didn't even lift his eyelids—this time he didn't look like a frightened bird.

The door was locked behind Wang Sheng's back. He put his hands together and walked away slowly with his usual expression.
