Long live the general

Chapter 23 Chang'an Ziwei

In the case of Prime Minister Wang, the focus is not on Qingniang's family, nor on whether Ting Wei's decision is legal or reasonable.

As the prime minister, Wang Bi was the emperor's brother-in-law before, half of the people in the court belonged to him, and he had great power in his hands.It seems normal for such a person to want to trample on the laws of the country, override the lives of all people, and manipulate the lives and deaths of others at will.

Many people have accepted this status quo, and will even take the initiative to become the prime minister's pawns playing with the rules.

Huo Yi didn't deal with this matter directly. He went into the palace to meet the emperor. Usually, the emperor was surrounded by many people, but in the inner hall, only his trusted close ministers, as well as the living man, Zhang Zhong's regular attendant, left and right , maids, guards... There is really no privacy.

When serving tea, Huo Yi accidentally said: "I heard that Wang Keming, son of the Wang family, entered the court officer's office yesterday."

The emperor didn't react for a while: "Wang Keming?"

Huo Yi didn't let it go: "The only son of Wang Yuan, the commander of the capital, rode a horse on the street, killed a child, and was arrested and sent to the court officer's office."

"and then?"

"It was released that day."

Zhou Zhenxue snorted coldly: "One of the internal orders, it's not enough for Tingwei to release him on the same day." Wang Yuan is the younger brother of Prime Minister Wang, and Wang Bi must have personally handled this matter.

For Prime Minister Wang, this was just a trivial matter, and it was generally not heard by the emperor.

How much power does the prime minister have?All state affairs should go to the prime minister's mansion first, and the prime minister will convene a meeting of officials of more than [-] shi in the mansion, and after the agreement is made, the emperor will make a decision in the name of the prime minister; all major personnel changes and policy adjustments are also presided over by the prime minister. , and then lead the performance; the emperor's edict must be issued to the prime minister, who is responsible for implementation.

Regardless of state affairs and personnel, the prime minister is the bridge between the emperor and the officials, but this bridge has its own ideas.

Huo Yi lowered his eyebrows and continued to say: "I went outside Chang'an City today and met a peasant woman crying in the forest. She said that her husband was killed by an adulterer, but she dared not report it to the official. After some inquiries, the woman It was the mother of the child who was killed yesterday."

"Don't dare to report to the government..." Zhou Zhenyan dropped his pen: "This is Chang'an City, and the people have no trust in the government. Is this the fault of the people? This is something wrong with the government!"

If the laws of the country cannot be guaranteed even at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how many such things are there in other places.

Zhou Zhenyan was still angry, and said sharply: "Call me Ting Wei!"

Chang Zhong Zhang quickly bowed and took the order to leave.

Huo Yi was sitting in danger. This matter had changed from a simple case to a political one, and he no longer needed to intervene.

Zhou Zhenyan had just become emperor, and he had no prestige in Dayue, so the common people didn't have any idea about changing the emperor.But the emperor can use this matter to severely punish the prime minister, which can not only establish his prestige, but also deal with the abuse of power and serious dereliction of duty by the ministers.

On the way to wait for Ting Wei to come, Zhou Zhenzhen pondered for a moment and asked, "Huo Qing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Huo Yi said in a deep voice: "I think that national law is a tool to maintain stability. If the people don't trust the national law, they must also not trust the court, the emperor of Da Yue. If everyone behaves lawlessly, it will cause social turmoil. If your majesty wants to attack the Huns in the north, you must We need to be united as one.”

Zhou Zhenyan: "It is imminent to re-establish the majesty of the national law, but unfortunately, there is no one in my hands to use."

"The recruitment edict has been issued, and one Gongsun sheep has already appeared, and there must be more Gongsun sheep." Huo Yi changed his tone: "Different talents are used in different places, Your Majesty, I want to recommend a person to you. "

Zhou Zhenyan asked enthusiastically, "Who?"

"Zhao Cheng." Huo Yi said: "He was born in commoner clothes, and now he is the magistrate of Tangcheng County, Xihebian County. Bad reputation."

Zhou Zhenxun: "Severe illness should be treated with strong medicine. I think this Da Yue is already dying."

The emperor's words were really harsh. Today, Dai Viet's country is rich and the people are safe, and it is already a rare Qingming government.Abuse of power, land annexation, financial failure, foreign relatives interfering in politics, warlords' separatism, disarmament, factional struggles, eunuchs' monopoly and other problems, not only have problems in the big Yue, but also in the previous dynasties and generations, and will continue to exist in the future. A stumbling block under the emperor's feet.

It's just that Zhou Zhenzhen wanted to build a prosperous and stable country where there were no courtiers inside, the barbarians surrendered outside, and the world was peaceful.

In his hands, an unprecedentedly powerful country will surely be created. Zhou Zhenxie has to do a lot of things for this, and he needs people who can do things.

Before Wei Ting came, Huo Yi had already left.

What happened after that had nothing to do with Huo Yi, he still listened to what Chen Shi said.The emperor asked Tingwei to re-investigate the matter, and the prince of the Wang family was arrested and imprisoned again. After being locked up for two days, he was released again.

According to Chen Shi's information, the Wang family replaced the prince with two retainers. Those two were the murderers who killed the farmer's owner, and they were also the ones who rode the horses.

After the incident was over, Prime Minister Wang went into the palace and cried out in front of the emperor, blaming himself for not managing his subordinates well.

Zhou Zhenxie beat him lightly and put him back.

This matter seems to have settled, at least in the hearts of Prime Minister Wang and Ting Wei.For Gongsun Yang, this is just the evidence of what he said is the disadvantage of Da Yue, and it is beneficial to him.As for Chen Zhonglang, he knew that the Wang family seemed to be in trouble, so he had less contact with the Wang family on weekdays.

Only Huo Lingyue was asking about the final result and what Qingniang should do.

"The emperor will make the royal family pay the price, but not now."

Huo Lingyue asked, "Why?"

Huo Yi: "This incident has already happened. The key point is to investigate why this happened and solve the problem from the root. But since it is a foregone conclusion, the emperor will use this incident to achieve his goal to the greatest extent. It is not yet the right time."

Huo Lingyue always felt that something was wrong. Neither the emperor nor her little uncle participated in this matter for the sake of justice and fairness.

She suddenly wondered, what kind of person is the little uncle, what about the high emperor, what are they thinking.

Before she could think too much, Huo Yi touched her head and asked: "Did you study hard in the academy yesterday, did you get along well with your classmates, did you understand what the master said, don't fight in the academy, If there is anything you don’t understand, please ask the master..."

Huo Lingyue's face turned blue immediately, and she ran away without hesitation.

Huo Yi smiled wryly from behind.

In the second month of Jiazi, the first year of Yuan Ding, the current emperor held an extraordinary court discussion on whether to send troops to attack the Xiongnu.

Prime Minister Wang was the last to step into the palace. He was wearing expensive court clothes, with a calm expression on his face. The ministers who were qualified to sit here and discuss looked at him one after another. On the left were ministers who supported the Northern Expedition. There were very few of them. .On the right are the ministers who opposed the Northern Expedition, most of whom were members of the Wang family.

His Majesty the Emperor sat at the top and did not greet him.

Wang Bi stood at the door for a moment, then walked steadily to the right.Only then did he realize that there was a sad, gloomy, short man sitting on the right, wearing Zhonglang's court attire, who looked at him with a half-smile, his eyes extremely contemptuous.

Wang Bi was furious. He knew that the emperor had recently conferred some crazy titles, most of them were Zhonglang Shilang and other palace officials.The appointment of these people was not in the hands of the prime minister, so Wang Bi didn't know much about it, and he had never seen this arrogant Zhonglang before him.

However, he always felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Prime Minister Wang looked across again, and the one sitting next to the emperor was Huo Yi with a handsome face and a calm expression.On Huo Yi's left is Li Yi, and on his right are the father and son of General Sima Murong, Northern General Zhao Pingan and several other ministers. The most conspicuous one is Zhang Laiqian, the chief minister in charge of the country's finances.

The Sangong and Jiuqing gathered together to decide Dai Viet's next policy towards the Huns.

Zhou Zhenxie said in a deep voice: "Since the founding of Da Yue, the Huns have repeatedly invaded our borders, burning, killing, and looting, doing all kinds of evil. Da Yue responded with peace, offering tens of thousands of money every year. Even so, it did not satisfy the Xiongnu's ambitions. Gentlemen, Today, is Dai Viet still maintaining the peace plan of the past in exchange for a fragile peace with the Huns?"

His tone was very heavy and very directional. Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and then a senior official behind Wang Bi stepped out of the crowd and said, "The peace with the Xiongnu is a strategy set by Gaozu, and it cannot be easily changed."

Zhou Zhenxie raised his eyebrows. He is a new emperor. Does he have to follow the rules of a hundred years ago in everything? , Naturally, it should be adapted to local conditions and time.”

The Taizhong doctor continued: "Dayue is a country of etiquette, and the Huns are barbarians. They should be tamed and persuaded with moral etiquette, and they should not be easily used..."

Li Yi smiled: "Use moral etiquette to persuade, your Excellency is right! Why don't I let this doctor stand in the front next time I go out to fight in the city, and tell the Hun cavalry what I mean, maybe they will put down their weapons and turn to the light." !"

The Taizhong doctor's face was red and white, and he was even more terrified when he talked about the Huns.The horror of the Xiongnu cavalry has already penetrated into their bones. Anyway, they live deep in the city of Chang'an, the Xiongnu's sword cannot cut their heads, and they are not the ones who give the Xiongnu money. Attacking the Xiongnu will do them harm and not benefit.

Li Yi chased after him and asked: "This doctor, what's your name?"

The Taizhong doctor didn't want to answer, but the emperor stared at him and could only say: "My minister Liu Hui, Taizhong doctor."

"Doctor Liu, let's put it this way, next time I fight, I will definitely take you with me!"

Zhou Zhenxuan nodded: "This is a good idea, so I will promote Liu Hui to be a captain in the army..." This is indeed a promotion. The Taizhong doctor has no real power, and his job is to discuss government affairs and judge right and wrong. But it is true that he has military power, and his monthly salary is also higher.

Before he could finish his sentence, the Taizhong doctor hurriedly shook his head and stammered: "I am not good at fighting..."

Zhou Zhenxue chuckled. At this time, the round of debate was over, and the host and Fang did not dare to speak rashly again. Wang Bi looked around and stood up.
