Long live the general

Chapter 20 Chang'an Ziwei

In the early days of the first month of winter, Yisishuo, Emperor Yuehong ascended the throne.

The enthronement ceremony was held in the front hall of Ziwei Palace. Hundreds of officials paid homage. The emperor was crowned in the hall, read out the imperial edict, set the year name Yuan Ding, and promulgated the edict of seeking talents.

Soon, the Edict of Seeking Virtue was passed on layer by layer, reaching every street, lane, and lane in the countryside.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, a bad news came immediately.

Queen Wang hanged herself.

As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, the court officials began to worry about the emperor's harem.What they like most is a good emperor who shrinks in the harem and gives birth to sons every day, obeys all officials, decentralizes power, and can withstand criticism from literati.However, after Zhou Zhenyan came to power, he never had the intention of opening up the harem. On the contrary, there were rumors that the emperor seemed to love Mrs. Zhang very much.

Some are happy and some are sad.

The Prime Minister's Mansion.

Holding a cup of tea in his hand, Wang Bi looked forward in a daze.He had already gotten angry just now, and several servants stood far away outside, not daring to go forward.There was a circle of doormen sitting around, all watching his expression closely.

Queen Wang is his own younger sister. As a foreign relative of the Wang family, he is already able to achieve the position of prime minister, which naturally relies on the means and status of Queen Wang.And she was about to become the empress dowager, the most honorable woman in the world, why would she be secluded in the palace.

The death of Queen Wang made him feel angry and uneasy hidden in the anger.

Wang Bi thought back to the new emperor in black robes at the enthronement ceremony, the nine-beaded crown covering his expression, they could only see the young emperor's cold lips and straight back.

Everyone was wondering what the emperor was thinking. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he successively met several border prefects, as well as General Murong and his son, and General Zhao Pingan. Expressed.

Now the first thing he said was to ask Prime Minister Wang Bi to arrange the funeral of Queen Wang.

"How do you think about this matter?" Wang Bi asked in a deep voice.

Several disciples expressed their thoughts one after another, and most of them thought that even if this was a trial by the new emperor, it would not affect the status of the prime minister.After all, the new emperor was young, and even Emperor Yueyun in his prime would have had a hard time trying to abolish the power of the Wang family, not to mention Zhou Zhenyan who had not yet secured the throne.At this time, the prime minister should show a tough style.

After discussing for a long time, everyone decided to handle the funeral of Queen Wang as usual and wait and see.Wang Bi plans to raise the funeral of Queen Wang to the level of queen mother in the court, and add a queen mother after her death.

Even if Ziwei changes positions, the glory of the Wang family will not fade away.

Besides that, there was another thing that upset him.Before the enthronement ceremony, the emperor summoned Li Yi and Huo Yi, the two sheriffs of border counties, and gave them five hundred gold each, and the news that they hunted the giant bear together spread like wind throughout Chang'an City.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, the rumor that the emperor favors generals has already spread.Dai Viet has been a country for a hundred years, and now civil servants have a higher status in the court than generals. The emperor's behavior made him smell the danger that the storm is coming.

However, the long-term pampering and high status made it difficult for Prime Minister Wang Bi to raise his guard. Even Emperor Yueyun had to treat him with courtesy.

"What do you guys think about the bear hunt yesterday?" Wang Bi asked in a deep voice.

Most of the diners think that this matter is nothing to worry about, and the Huo Li family can't make a fuss.Li Yi has always been disliked by the Holy One, and Huo Yi is still stigmatized.There are also some disciples who believe that the prime minister should show kindness to the Huo and Li families.They gradually started arguing, and the hall was instantly noisy and lively, like the entrance of a vegetable market.

A group of diners were discussing in full swing, only one person sat alone in the corner, watching the diners' eloquent flattery with cold eyes.After a while, he walked over and said to the pensive Wang Bi, "Prime Minister, I think you should ask yourself to resign as Prime Minister."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked.

Wang Bi raised his head abruptly as if he had been awakened.

"You are..." Wang Bi tried his best to identify the person in front of him, but he couldn't remember his name anyway.He sat down and claimed to have [-] diners. Although this number was watery, he naturally couldn't remember everyone's name.

"It's Gongsunyang, Beihai County, Qingzhou."

Gongsun Yang is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, his face is full of grooves, and he looks like 50 years old in his forties.He was short in stature, thin-cheeked, dark-eyed, and always spoke in a violent way, which made him unpopular.

Gongsun Yang was born in a farmer's family in Beihai County, Qingzhou. He has been farming in the fields since he was a child.During the time of Emperor Yueyun, he left his hometown and came to Chang'an, where he went to many aristocratic and high-ranking officials. He wanted to show his talents, but they were not valued.Afterwards, the family wealth was gone, and after being recommended by others, he went to the prime minister's mansion again and again. Wang Bi didn't pay attention to quality in raising people, so he was brought into the mansion, but he never followed Gongsunyang's suggestion.

Before Wang Bi could speak, those disciples had already protested fiercely. What Gongsun Yang said was too outrageous. The Wang family was in full swing at the moment, and Wang Bi's resignation as prime minister would be like killing himself.

The disciples in the hall accused Gongsun Yang of harboring evil intentions, and Wang Bi also thought this suggestion was ridiculous, and even looking at Gongsun Yang was not pleasing to the eye.He was about to end the discussion when a servant ran outside and hurriedly said, "Patriarch, something has happened."

Wang Bi frowned: "Say."

"Young master rode a horse on the street and killed a man." The young master of the Wang family was not Wang Bi's son, but his younger brother's son.Wang Bi served as the prime minister in the court, and his younger brother, Wang Yuan, served as the internal order of the capital and was a subordinate of Da Si Nong.

Wang Bi was upset, he didn't expect the trash brother's trash son to add fuel to the flames, he asked, "Who died?"

"The son of a peasant family."

Wang Bi breathed a sigh of relief: "There's no need to worry about it, it's inappropriate to panic. He wasn't caught on the spot, so who dares to accuse the Wang family."

"I was caught." The servant met Wang Bi's cannibalistic gaze, wiped off his sweat, and said, "There was a little girl who was standing in front of the carriage, and she asked the servant to notify Tiqi of the Northern Army."

Part of the duties of the Northern Army is to maintain the law and order of Chang'an City, and this part of the soldiers are called Tiqi, and the chief is Zhi Jinwu.

Wang Bi waved his hand: "Give his parents a little money to make them change their minds and say that the child was bumped into by themselves."

The servant said weakly: "But, the young master has sent someone to kill those parents..."

After he finished speaking, he ducked back very alertly. Sure enough, Wang Bi was furious, and he threw the teacup with his hand, making a dull sound on the carpet.The cold tea splashed out, and the surrounding diners suffered.

Wang Bi almost wanted that brat who only knows how to show off his power by relying on his family background to stay in prison for a few days.But he has no son himself, only a few daughters, and his nephew Wang Keming is the only blood of the Wang family, so he can't just leave it alone.

The only problem is that Wei Ting's appetite is really big, and Wang Bi is going to go there himself.

Before he went out, he asked suddenly: "You said the person who stopped that kid was a little girl?" How could an ordinary little girl have the courage.

The servant said: "Yes It seems to be the daughter of the Huo family."

The Huo family does have a young daughter who is only eight years old.In the past, such insignificant people could not even enter the prime minister's ears.

Wang Bi frowned, and was going to see his younger brother first.

After he left, all the diners dispersed, and Gongsun Yang walked at the end alone. He left the prime minister's mansion and returned to his own home.

Gongsun Yang lived outside Chang'an, his family was poor and poor, and the thatched cottage trembled in the wind.No one cares about this place, but today there is a person standing at the door of his house, wearing a crimson red robe, black hair tightly tied into a crown, and a gentle face.The two people behind him are also very well-behaved, and they don't come from ordinary families at first glance.

"Is it Gongsun Jun who is here?" The man turned around, and faced the short stature and gloomy Gongsun Yang, he did not show any strange expression, but respectful: "My surname is Chen, and I work as a Zhonglang in the palace. I am waiting for you here." Gongsun Jun has been around for a long time."

When Gongsun Yang stepped into Ziwei Palace, he still thought it was a dream.

Ziwei Palace is grand but cold, and every five steps there are soldiers from the southern army on guard. Inside the palace are red walls and golden tiles, carved beams and painted columns, and the high eaves are like white dragons soaring. The winter sun shines on the golden scale tiles. On the film, it always shocks the hearts of those who come.

Gongsun Yang followed the man who called himself Chen Zhonglang stop and go all the way, passing through many checkpoints.When Chen Zhonglang spoke, he spoke softly, very kindly, and answered every question, but did not reveal much information in his words.They finally walked into a palace named Shoucheng. As soon as the door was closed, the heater immediately wrapped them up tightly, and there was a vague fragrance in the air. White cigarettes floated on the ground, intending to contaminate the On the exquisite cloud pattern of the black robe.

The owner of the black robe sat behind the desk, with several memorials in front of him, and Gongsunyang found that his own was listed there, even with a vermilion pen annotation on it.

This is the man at the top of Dai Viet's power.

His emotions suddenly rose, and the uneasiness along the way turned into an even more impatient desire.He wrote this memorial dedicated to His Majesty for a long time, condensing all the chaos he has seen in his life for more than 40 years.At that time, because he was afraid that he would never have another chance, Gongsun Yang put almost all his thoughts on it, and ten of them were all about the rectification of local tyrants and important officials in the court.

The last one says that it is inappropriate to send troops to attack the Huns now.The handwriting was very illegible, which he hastily filled in.

"Gongsun Jun, I finally see you." He heard the emperor's voice, which was more calm and powerful than he imagined: "Huo Qing, this is Gongsun Jun."

After Gongsun Yang sat down, he found that there was still a man sitting beside the emperor. He was wearing a long coat and had a handsome face, like a fir tree on the plateau in winter.

The man nodded slightly to himself, neither too warm nor indifferent.
