At the end of the three-month northern tour, the emperor returned to Luoyang.
Wang Fu led hundreds of officials to greet him, but the emperor did not show up, but went straight into the palace.
The prince happily ran to practice swordsmanship with Wang Yue, and Queen Song led He Guiren and the two young princes to greet him. The emperor frowned and walked into the palace angrily. He Guiren raised his head and thought in his heart
She was a little afraid, but she didn't show it. Empress Song also noticed that the emperor's face was not kind, and after greeting him, she handed the little prince over.
Holding the little guy waving his hands, the anger on the emperor's face disappeared a little, and the queen probably heard that the emperor had killed many officials during his northern tour, including even Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou with two thousand shi.
The matter had already spread inside and outside the palace. When the queen heard about it, she felt a little worried. The emperor looked at her and grabbed her hand.
"I have troubled the queen during my absence..."
"Your Majesty, don't speak like that..." Queen Song was still a little shy. Even though they were an old couple who had given birth to two princes, Queen Song remained unchanged. The emperor smiled, took out his hand again, and hugged the two princes.
After teasing for a moment, he looked at He Guiren without saying anything and said, "I'm a little tired, so you can leave first..."
Empress Song nodded and left with He Guiren and their children. For some reason, looking at their loving appearance, He Guiren felt a little uncomfortable, but she had no choice but to do so. After they left, the only one left by the Emperor's side was
Song Dian, the emperor slowly walked to the main hall and sat down. Song Dian stood beside him, lowering his head and saying nothing.
"Tell me, what's going on in the palace?"
"There was nothing major, but after the country left, He Guiren held a banquet to summon his family members, and invited Queen Song to go. The slaves took the queen away..."
"Well..." The emperor nodded. He didn't believe that He Guiren would dare to murder the queen. This queen was the most respected queen in the world. There were also powerful eunuchs such as Song Dian in the palace. These people controlled Su.
Wei, as long as they are here, He Guiren can't make any waves at all. As for her relatives, the emperor doesn't even pay attention to them.
"What about Chao Zhong?"
"Wang Situ repeatedly requested to convene a court meeting, but was not allowed by the ministers. Among the ministers, nothing happened, but..." Song Dian informed the emperor of the injustice that happened in Jingzhou, and the emperor had roughly known about it before.
After hearing the situation clearly, he suddenly hit the document with his palm and roared: "Beheaded, beheaded! Not a son of man, not a son of man!!!"
"The country calms down!" Song Dian said quickly.
The emperor took a long breath and said again: "I am a little tired..."
He also ordered his servants to place the accompanying items in the main hall. Song Dian lowered his head and carefully walked out. After the main hall was empty and there was no one else, the emperor took out the Book of Heaven from the items, somewhat casually.
Lying on the couch, flipping through the book, his brows were full of fatigue and sorrow. Since He Gong passed away, he has been just a person.
There is no one who can be trusted anymore, and there is no one who can speak the truth to me.
There are hundreds of famous ministers and generals recorded in a thick book of heaven. The emperor admires them very much. He admires every one of them very much. Although they have done many treasonous and unethical things in the book of heaven, this does not mean that
It hindered the emperor from appreciating their talents. However, the emperor was also very jealous of them. The emperor did not dare to trust anyone. The ministers in the court could not find anyone they could trust...
This strange feeling of loneliness made the emperor particularly uncomfortable. He had a lot of words in his heart and wanted to talk to others. However, he could only hold the heavenly book in his hand and slowly tell the words in his heart to the heavenly book...
"I'm really angry in my heart. Those thieves are just teasing me and making me think that the world is peaceful. I haven't seen it with my own eyes. I have really been deceived by them..."
The emperor just spoke in a low voice, talking to himself, as if there was a close friend standing in front of him, confiding many things in his heart. For a time, in the entire hall, there was only the emperor's low voice...
"I will fully support Wang Fu's policies. After looking at these states, I suddenly felt that it would be better to use them. However, I cannot let the officials find out about this idea..."
"I hate Wang Fu so much. When this guy looked at me today, he still showed no fear or respect...I really want to kill him!"
"It's time for Jingzhou to send someone to govern, but I don't know who to send... Maybe, Zhou Yi should be sent there. I still trust this person..."
"I miss Master He very much..."
.....................
The emperor sat majestically on the throne, looking down at the ministers proudly. The ministers all lowered their heads and bowed to the emperor. The emperor frowned, and the ministers could not see what he was thinking. Wang Fu, the leader, began to report one by one.
There were many political affairs after the emperor left. Of course, after the emperor left, the main thing in the court was to provide disaster relief. Although Wang Fu could not hold court meetings, he could still perform his duties as a Situ, and this was not restricted.
After the emperor left, Wang Fu focused all his attention on Liangzhou, and even privately reduced the taxes in Liangzhou, allowing Zheng Xuan to use more money to deal with Liangzhou affairs. When he revealed many things, he did not hide anything.
When talking about it one by one, the emperor nodded. What he did was not wrong. The emperor originally planned to exempt some taxes from the disaster-stricken states. As a Situ, there was no problem for Wang Fu to do so.
The emperor looked at Wang Fu, smiled and said with emotion: "You and I are like Taizu's Liuhou. With you and the temple, I have no worries!"
Wang Fu was so praised by the emperor, he nodded and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor looked at the ministers again. He did not hesitate to praise some of the ministers who had achieved outstanding political achievements during this period. After comforting the officials, the emperor's face gradually darkened and he looked at the people in the crowd.
Wen Renxi, Wen Renxi understood that many things could not be told by the emperor himself, so he could only stand up and talk about the many evil deeds of Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou.
For example, trusting alchemists, being mediocre, framing people, robbing people's fields, oppressing people, raping people's wives, etc. His crimes are simply too numerous to list. He is the most evil Liang Qianshi in Jianning.
After talking about his crimes, the officials also hurriedly talked about it. At the same time, they agreed with Wen Renxi's views and spurned the governor.
The officials appropriately brought up the case of Zhao Shuang, the governor of Jingzhou.
The emperor turned his head, looked at Wang Fu, and asked, "How should we deal with it?"
"Behead!"
"good."
With just a few simple words, another two thousand stone head fell to the ground. Wang Fu didn't know it yet. He just said what the emperor was thinking. However, the eyes of the officials looking at him were...
He is even more unkind and fearful. Just one word can kill someone with two thousand stones. What about us? If one day, the emperor asks him for his opinion...
The emperor did not seem to notice the officials' rejection of Wang Fu. Instead, he solemnly explained some important matters regarding the selection of officials to Wang Fu.
The emperor chatted with Wang Fu for a few words, then looked at the ministers and said: "The ministers can withdraw. Your Majesty, please come with me to the main hall to have a detailed discussion...", the emperor said,
Then he stood up to leave. The ministers paid their respects and left slowly. Seeing Wang Fu walking into the back hall, the ministers all frowned and thought to themselves, what does Wang Fu want?
Sure enough, just one day later, Wang Fu issued many decrees on increasing the number of officials to be assessed and regular assessments.
All the officials hated Wang Jiexin to death.
