The emperor clapped his hands and said, "What a warrior!"
Wang Yue put away his sword and returned to his original more restrained appearance. He smiled and carefully handed the sword to the soldiers. Seeing his appearance, the soldiers also saluted him and then
After retreating to the Emperor's side, the little fat man jumped up happily, ran to Wang Yue's side, and asked, "Have you really fought with He Yeye in a sword fight?"
"It's true..." Wang Yue nodded and said, "He Gong's sword skills are fierce and he can beat me by many..." The emperor knew in his heart that Wang Yue was a humble man, and the results of his battles back then were probably not what he said.
, However, He Gong has passed away, not to mention that he is still famous all over the world, and is called Hezi by many scholars as a Confucian saint. The king is more affectionate and rational, and he should be humble.
"Father!" The little fat man walked up to the emperor, took his arm, and said coquettishly: "Father, I want to learn swordsmanship from this man...I can also protect my father in the future, and Bian'er will not be delayed.
After studying..."
The emperor thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Wen Renxi. Wen Renxi already knew the emperor's thoughts when he saw the emperor calling the prince here. However, the emperor has always been strict with the prince, so this matter still needs to be done.
Speaking for himself, Wen Renxi said with a smile: "It is also appropriate to ask Wang Yue to teach the Emperor's swordsmanship to strengthen his body..."
The emperor nodded, looked at the little fat man, and said: "It's okay to learn swordsmanship, but you can't neglect your studies..."
"Thank you very much, Father!"
The little fat man grinned. The emperor nodded and said, "Please step aside first. Tomorrow, Wang Yue will teach you..." The little fat man jumped away and then the emperor looked at Wang Yue.
He smiled and said: "I intend for you to teach the prince..."
"Yes!" Wang Yue said, cupping his hands.
"Don't let the prince live and work hard, and don't let him hurt himself..."
"As commanded..."
"Okay, Song Dian, let's place him outside the palace. Just choose a place around He Gong's mansion... Let him come tomorrow, just go to the East Palace..."
Song Dian nodded and took Wang Yue out. The Emperor then looked at Wen Renxi and said, "Has the matter of the Northern Patrol been decided?" Wen Renxi thought for a moment and said, "It's roughly done.
Decide, when will Your Majesty prepare to set off?"
"As soon as the spring planting is over, I will set off..."
"The accompanying soldiers..."
"Just reduce the number appropriately... The prince and Wang Yue will follow..." the emperor said with a frown.
That month, Wang Fu returned to Luoyang.
In April, the bandits raided Jiaozhou and attacked counties in Cangwu and Guiyang areas. Yang Xuan, the prefect of Lingling, made dozens of carriages, filled the carriages with bags of lime, tied cloth ropes to the tails of the horses, and made military chariots.
Specializing in bows and crossbows, when fighting with thieves, he would order his carriage to rush to the front and blow up the ashes in the wind. The thieves would not be able to look at them, because they would burn the ground with fire, and the horses would be frightened and rush towards the enemy's formation.
He also made the bows and crossbows in the rear fire wildly, and the gongs and drums rang, and the bandits dispersed in a panic. Countless people were injured and killed in pursuit. The commander-in-chief made the county clear, and Yang Xuan became famous.
After Wang Fu hurried back to Luoyang, he learned that the emperor was about to patrol the north. All the officials hoped that this traitor could persuade the emperor to give up this behavior. They had always disapproved of the northern patrol, but
, they did not expect that when Wang Fu heard this, he nodded and said: "That's it!" He had no intention of persuading the emperor.
He was about to go on patrol. It was the first time that the emperor was leaving Luoyang after he ascended the throne. He felt a little uneasy. He summoned Yuan Feng to enter the palace privately overnight. Yuan Feng walked in in a hurry. Seeing him come in, the emperor sighed helplessly. , Yuan Feng immediately bowed down, looked panicked, and asked: "What worries your majesty? I am unfaithful!"
As a minister, the expression of loyalty is to make the emperor carefree. When he saw the emperor sighing, he made a look of fear.
"My heart is very sad due to the disaster in the north. However, if I leave Luoyang rashly, I will worry about Wang Fu, who will act recklessly and bully his colleagues..." The emperor said helplessly, and Yuan Feng thought in his heart, this Wang Fu It’s no longer just a day or two to act recklessly and bully colleagues, so why are you saying it now?
Soon, he realized that the Emperor was worried that after he went out, Wang Fu would make decisions privately and act recklessly. In fact, the Emperor did not trust Wang Fu at all. The Emperor was worried about Wang Fu. Yuan Feng understood in his heart. , made an angry look and said: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured, I will definitely not let Wang Fu act wantonly..."
"Well..." The emperor looked at him and said: "After I leave, Cai Yong, Wang Fu, Cui Shi and Jun can handle the important affairs of the temple. Among them, Jun is my confidant. I will leave the matter to you..."
"As you command!"
After a long time, in the same place again, Cai Yong sat in front of the emperor.
"Alas, I am about to patrol the north, but the only ones who are uneasy in the court are Wang Fu and Yuan Feng. Wang Fu behaves erratically, and Yuan Feng comes from a noble family. The Yuan family has always been at odds with me... This Manchu Dynasty Sir, you are the only one who is my confidant!"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely live up to your Majesty's high expectations in Luoyang..."
........
"Cui Jun, you and I are actually good friends..."
"Your Majesty, rest assured!"
Just like this, the emperor found several more ministers, secretly making them reach an invisible balance, except Wang Fu. Wang Fu, whether he gave orders or not, he would definitely get into trouble with the other ministers. Yes, there is absolutely no need for me to instruct him. As long as the temple is not in chaos during the period when I leave the political center, that will be fine.
To put it bluntly, he just can't completely hand over the power of the government to Wang Fu. If Wang Fu wants to act wantonly, I'm afraid that when he comes back, he will be able to make a lot of strange and unprecedented government orders. This is the emperor. Unexpectedly, three days later, the remaining battalions of the Northern and Southern armies gathered together, and the mighty Northern Patrol team left Luoyang.
Along the way, the people were prostrate on the roadside and bowed to the chariots. The emperor also ordered the visitors to throw coins at these people to show their love for the people. This behavior made the people who were originally a little afraid and dared not speak cheers. When they got up, they picked up the coins on the ground and kept shouting long live and thanking the emperor. The accompanying officials also looked at these people with joy.
For a time, the officials and the people were happy and happy, but the only one who heard the news was that he looked unhappy.
After bidding farewell to the Emperor's chariot, Wang Fu led all the officials to gather at the city gate. Seeing the Emperor's chariot gradually disappearing from sight, Wang Fu turned his head and looked at the officials and said: "I want to hold a court meeting to discuss the Liang Dynasty in the Western Regions. State affairs!”
"Your Majesty, except for the emperor, who dares to hold court meetings and give orders to the officials? Are you, Wang Jiexin, planning to rebel?"
Yuan Feng said suddenly. Wang Fu looked at Yuan Feng with disdain, waved his hand and said: "You are not the third prince, you have no right to speak!"
"Your Majesty, are we talking about a big deal?" Captain Zhang Wen asked with a frown.
"Since it is a court meeting convened by me, it is natural to discuss important matters."
"Since it is a big matter, let's wait until the emperor returns before making plans." Zhang Wen said, and Wang Fu was stunned. He knew that if he said it was a small matter, this guy would definitely reply, if it was a small matter, then there would be no need for ministers.
It was time to discuss something like that. Wang Fu ignored him, looked at Yuan Feng, and said, "You will come to my residence later, I have something important to do!"
"Your Majesty, since the emperor is not here, we should have fewer private meetings among our important ministers, so as not to attract attention. Zhang Xiuyi, what did you see?" Cai Yong suddenly spoke and asked Xiang Xiang.
Zhang He stood aside.
Zhang He nodded and said solemnly: "That's right!"
Wang Fu looked at these ministers with some surprise. After a while, he came back to his senses, sneered, got on the bullock cart, left here, sat on the bullock cart, Wang Fu shook his head and whispered
He sighed with emotion: "The emperor is really good at what he does, what a good method..."
