Chapter 50: Making a tripod (1)
According to what Wang Zunzhi thought, the court was useless. If Wang Zunzhi presents it like this, he will definitely be approved.
This is presented to the court, but it is just a little respect for the court.
Things obviously didn't go well.
Half a month later, Hu Ce returned to the commander's mansion with a decree.
The court also rebuked the people brought back.
"This...this is simply..." He opened the will and looked at it quickly, and Wang Zunzhi threw the will on the ground with a pale face.
At this time, the new secretary Yu Zhao heard the sound and walked into the room, looking at the commander, as if asking what was wrong.
"Yu Zhao, look at it too, see what is said on it!" Wang Zunzhi pointed to the ground and said with an angry look.
"No." Yu Zhao hurriedly walked over, picked up the order, and looked down at it, and there was also a look of surprise on his face.
"The Grand Marshal... the court actually rejected your presentation?"
"Not only that, I also rebuked the war in Wenyang Mansion some time ago!" Wang Zunzhi was angry and quickly controlled his emotions.
Perhaps because of the medication, Wang Zunzhi's life span was not only one month, but it still improved, but the desire to pass the throne was already very urgent.
No wonder Wang Zunzhi was so angry. The court had long been undermined by various vassal states and generals. The various vassal states were actually self-reliant.
Whoever Wang Zunzhi wants to succeed the throne is already a family matter, and it is just a routine matter to submit it to the court.
Unexpectedly, the court, which has always been good, was rarely tough this time, and refuted that Wang Zunzhi cares the most at present.
How can this not make him angry?
At this time, Hu Ce kowtowed and apologized, saying, "I am guilty!"
After looking at Hu Ce, Wang Zunzhi said tiredly: "Get up, I have heard that you have fired the imperial official position. Let's do this, you can continue to be a county magistrate first!"
Hu Ce was secretly happy, kowtowed and thanked, and retreated.
"Master, the court rejected your request. Next... the prepared ceremony will be prepared as usual?" Yu Zhao asked carefully.
Wang Zunzhi pressed his hand on the table, pondered for a moment, and then said with a sneer: "Since the court does not have to save face, there is no need to leave this face for the court. The ceremony of passing the throne is not only continued, but also held in a big way!"
Wang Zunzhi said coldly, and after that, he said again: "What is Wei Cundong's name now?"
Yu Zhao frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Wei Cundong is now appointing himself as General Zhenbei."
"Wei Cundong named himself General of Zhenbei, so I will call myself General Dingyuan. I want to order that from today on, the name of this town will be General Dingyuan!"
"General Dingyuan?" Yu Zhao looked at Wang Zunzhi in surprise and said hesitantly: "This..."
Wang Zunzhi did not see Yu Zhao's expression at all. His face turned pale: "I proclaimed myself the name of General Dingyuan and summoned all the generals and ministers. I will re-give the official seal and banner one by one. This matter will be passed on to me quickly."
"In the past few days, you will need to add some processing and carve all the required body and official seals, as well as the seal of General Dingyuan. At the throne ceremony in a few days, I will pass on the position of General Dingyuan to Yier... and call Yier to come."
"...No." Seeing that things had come to this point, Yu Zhao didn't want to persuade him anymore, so he had to take the order.
After a while, Wang Hongyi arrived.
"Ahem... you're here." Wang Zunzhi looked very bad. He leaned against the window and barely supported him, but his eyes were still looking outside.
Occasionally, birds flew past in the sky, making sharp sounds, and Wang Zunzhi's face also showed a sense of interest. Knowing that Wang Hongyi had arrived outside the door, he did not turn his head, but looked outside and said softly.
After saying this, he continued to cough. This was the scene when Wang Hongyi came in.
Wang Hongyi stood there, his eyes falling on Wang Zunzhi's head.
On the top of Wang Zunzhi, the yellow air was boiling. Not only did it not decline, it became stronger and stronger as the body declined, and there were still a few blue colors. However, the old man was most afraid of being lucky. This fortune was not only not a blessing, but a sign of death.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a deep breath in my heart. Although I had been delayed for a while before, I'm afraid I will never be able to hold on anymore.
Wang Hongyi lowered his eyes and sighed secretly.
Although Wang Hongyi has been around for a lifetime, he is not an unintentional person.
Although Wang Zunzhi did not have the kindness of giving birth to him, he was a kind of support. He always treated him very well, just like his father.
Seeing that his body gradually became weaker and weaker, Wang Hongyi felt very uncomfortable.
However, it is a blessing to be able to delay these few months more than in the previous life.
Wang Hongyi then calmed down his sadness, walked into the room, and whispered: "Father, I'm here, your health... isn't it?"
"Haha, it's an old problem. I won't talk about it anymore. Please sit down. I have something to tell you." Wang Zunzhi didn't care about his body. He smiled slightly, with a little bit of fun. He pointed to the side and said.
Wang Hongyi walked over but did not sit down. Instead, he walked behind Wang Zunzhi and gently pounded his shoulders for him, with the right movement.
Wang Zunzhi was coughing and sore, but at this time, he felt relieved.
Wang Zunzhi had lost three sons in a row before, but only this illegitimate son was left. He valued the inheritance of his offspring more than others. Now he was filial to his son, which made him feel a different feeling in his heart.
Even his eldest son had never done these small things before. Now that he has such a son, he should be satisfied.
Wang Zunzhi no longer regretted the decision he had made before.
But in just a moment, he asked Wang Hongyi to stop so that he could concentrate on listening to his words.
Wang Hongyi responded and sat down at this time.
I heard Wang Zunzhi say: "Yi'er, my body is getting worse now..."
Wang Hongyi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Wang Zunzhi immediately stopped him.
"I know what you want to say. You child don't need to comfort me. I am very clear about my body. I guess it can't last for a long time. But now, if I don't make a decision earlier, I will feel really uneasy!" Wang Zunzhi said with a smile, and coughed a few times while speaking.
Holding the cover-up scarf and a slight red color appeared on Wang Zunzhi's face. Although it gradually faded after a moment, Wang Hongyi was secretly shocked.
"As you can see, I'm afraid I'm almost out of reach. This town cannot be without a master for a day. If I go there one day, I'm afraid I'll leave you with a lot of trouble."
Such words were really ominous. Wang Hongyi quickly stood up and said seriously: "Father, you must not say this in the future. You only need to take good care of your health. You will definitely be cured in a short time. You must not lose confidence from yourself first."
It can be seen that Wang Hongyi’s words are really from the heart.
Wang Zunzhi was very pleased, but he shook his head and said with a smile: "I have said just now, you don't need to comfort me. I know this matter in my heart. Many days ago, I have written the matter of being in your memorial form and submitted it to the court. I originally thought that as soon as the imperial decree arrived, I will pass it to you in a legitimate way."
"I don't want the court to be so perverse that I actually rejected my memorial!" At this point, Wang Zunzhi said angrily again and pointed: "Go and take a look!"
There is a decree in this case. Wang Hongyi opened the decree and looked at it intently, frowned.
"If there is only one town, I will endure it, so as not to be attacked by others. Now I have two counties. Can Wei Cundong call himself the general of Zhenbei? Can I not?"
"In order to avoid Wei Cundong's eyes, I originally wanted to proclaim himself General Zhennan. After thinking about it, I still called himself General Dingyuan. This name is enough to order several counties, and it is not too outrageous."
"I have two counties in my control. How dare Du Gong challenge me? My son, do you dare to take over this position and share my worries?" Hearing Wang Zunzhi's sneer, Wang Hongyi's heart was thumping, weighing the pros and cons.
If you do not respond to this title, it will be difficult for you to suppress all the ministers and generals in the future. If you respond to this title, some ambitious internal ministers can attack and rebel.
Staring at Wang Zunzhi again, feeling his weak body, his life like a candle, and his rich luck, a word flashed through his heart: Go against the flow!
However, if this matter could be decided early, he would not be too restricted to doing many things, and he would not be too restricted. This is indeed a good thing.
The key is whether you can survive the next year or even two years to suppress the fluctuations in the human hearts that arise.
If it is suppressed, it is to build a cauldron. If it is not possible, it is to do things in reverse and destroy oneself.
After thinking about it, Wang Hongyi respectfully bowed: "No!"
With this response, one-third of the energy was instantly cut off. The most terrifying thing was that the original golden seal was immediately shattered, and the luck was not up to the point. Although it was still spread, it was wrapped around Wang Hongyi, with signs of loss.
When Wang Zunzhi heard this, he laughed to the sky and looked very happy: "Okay, it's my son!"
So the story of Wang Zunzhi's self-appointed general Dingyuan spread quickly, and then shocked the entire vassal state. Everyone was shocked and fell silent at the same time.
For a moment, no one publicly expressed dissatisfaction with this.
Taisu County, County Yamen
Since the last chaos, Taisu County originally had 3,000 households, but now only 1,000 households are left, barely maintaining the county level. However, the county government has not changed, and it is planted with locust, elm, willow, poplar and various courtyard trees. Occasionally, the wind can be heard, and the pleasant sound of wind chimes can be heard.
At this time, the golden crow fell west, and the sunset was bright red like blood, which coated all the trees in the house with a dark red light. Li Chengye hurriedly left, and when he got to a place, he saw his father touching a big tree again.
When I arrived in front of the tree, before I could speak, I heard my father sigh: "The general was stupid in his old age and actually did this kind of defiance. Hehe, it was a three-year fortune. This is true. I will be able to conquer the orders and not be bound by the royal monarch and ministers!"
Since the Wang family called themselves generals, even if they were not rebelling, they could still ask for orders to attack them. The people who started the army at that time were naturally not limited by the original title of the monarch and his subjects.
