Chapter 45 Early Dynasty
After coming out of the photo studio, Wang Sheng's emotions were quite complicated.
The turmoil in Yizhou can be said to have happened in history, but there is no such big chaos in Yecheng's history.
When things go wrong, there must be a monster. Behind this is Wang Sheng's identity as a time traveler, and it's not clear who is behind it.
Wang Sheng shook his head gently, temporarily leaving these messy emotions behind.
On the contrary, some emperors were less anxious than eunuchs.
The emperor should be the most anxious about this matter, not Marquis Guangyuan.
By this time, the setting sun had set in the west and the moon had risen.
The spring nights were long, and since Wang Sheng became an official in the court, he had less and less time to spend with his family.
Just like the little girl Nannan, we can only meet her during dinner, and there is no time to meet her at other times.
Wang Sheng enjoyed this dinner time very much.
This feeling of being with family is very warm, and it can also add a layer of warm protection to Wang Sheng's lonely heart.
As for what happens in the room late at night, it is not enough for outsiders to explain.
The next day, the sky got slightly brighter, and Wang Sheng got up from the bed.
The spring morning was very quiet.
At this time, except for those slaves, people like Zhang, Hongxiu, and Nannan were all still in bed.
After Wang Sheng was dressed neatly, he got on the carriage to the palace.
Something must have happened in today's morning meeting. Whether the fox can be caught by its tail depends on this morning meeting.
There were many people coming to Tai Chi Hall in the early morning.
The emperor gave these ministers enough time to attend the meeting, and it seemed that people who could not be seen in normal times could now be seen.
Of course, because the Zong Wang basically returned to his country, the only princes in the court at this time were Sima Tong, King of Yan, and Sima Qian, King of Pingyuan.
Many other courtiers came.
Everyone was waiting for the emperor in the Tai Chi Hall, but it was already time, and the emperor still didn't come.
Wang Sheng stood in the middle row on the side of the civil servants. He deliberately stood on the side so as not to attract attention.
Of course, given Wang Sheng's status and the emperor's favor and trust in him, it would be difficult to remain unnoticed.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is going to court this morning for matters related to Yecheng?"
Wang Sheng's slightly closed eyes opened a small slit, and through this small slit, he could naturally see the speaker.
Bian Cui?
Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment.
This guy is Zhang Hua's son-in-law. However, because Zhang Hua rejected Wang Sheng, people from Zhang Hua's lineage are far away from Wang Sheng. Now, taking advantage of the gap between the DPRK and China, this Bian Cui came to talk to him.
, this is a bit strange.
"K."
Of course Wang Sheng knew whether it was yes or no, and most of the people present also knew it, but the words coming out of his mouth naturally had some meaning in them.
Wang Sheng knows how powerful his mouth is.
Furthermore, since he was really not familiar with Bian Cui, there was no need to explain it too clearly.
Even though Wang Sheng said something perfunctory, Bian Cui still had a smile on his face.
"That seems to be the case. The matter in Yizhou was already a storm in the city before, and now there is the matter in Yecheng, Wei County. What do you think of this matter?"
I was told something perfunctory by myself, so I shouldn't be able to talk to myself.
Wang Sheng's perfunctory behavior actually shows that he doesn't want to talk too much to you.
Bian Cui was still talking to him, either because he couldn't understand the underlying meaning of Wang Sheng's words, or he had other meanings in them.
Wang Sheng prefers the latter.
Maybe Zhang Huade’s thoughts have changed in some way?
"The matter in Yizhou has been settled. As for the matter in Yecheng, His Majesty is wise and will naturally solve it. It's just a clown. It's not worth getting too nervous about."
Compared with the previous sentence, Wang Sheng's sentence is more formal.
"You are really wise. My father-in-law said the same thing."
Sure enough, after going around and around, the topic finally came to Zhang Hua.
"Is Mr. Zhang still in good health now?" Wang Sheng naturally walked along the steps.
Bian Cui had a flattered expression on her face.
"Thank you Junhou for your concern. My father-in-law is very strong. He is just relaxing at home and now he has begun to write poems. My father-in-law has always mentioned Junhou. When it comes to composing poems, I am afraid that Luoyang, or the world,
There is no one more powerful than Junhou."
"How can I compare with Zhang Gong's literary works? Well, I haven't seen Zhang Gong for some time. In a few days, I will go to visit Zhang Gong. Do you think it's good?"
Bian Cui nodded heavily, thinking that it was indeed simple enough to talk to smart people.
"That's it."
Standing in front of Wang Sheng was Director Wang. At this time, he turned to look at Wang Sheng and said with a smile: "Since you are going to visit Mr. Zhang, why don't you count me in?"
After hearing Director Wang's words, the smile on Bian Cui's face suddenly stopped as if it was frozen.
Wang Sheng's face smiled even more cheerfully.
"Brother Shigehiro is going with me, so that would be great."
Just when Wang Sheng was about to continue speaking, the high-pitched voice of the chief minister also echoed in the hall.
"Your Majesty has arrived~"
After the voice of the great internal official rang out, the originally noisy Tai Chi Hall suddenly became quiet.
The emperor Sima Yu, wearing a red dragon robe, slowly sat on the dragon chair.
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will live forever."
Sima Yu looked like he had not rested well, his face was heavily darkened, and his frail body seemed to have been hollowed out.
In fact, Sima Yu was really drained. In order to act more realistically, the king of Zong believed that he didn't care about this matter. He was very crazy last night.
"All my dear friends, please be safe. I'm asking you to come over today. Do you know what's going on?"
Most of the people in the Taiji Hall knew the purpose of today's morning meeting.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is a matter concerning Yecheng, Wei County?"
At this time, Shangshu ordered Wang Yan to stand up.
If it had been before, the first one to speak would have been either King Zhao, Zhang Hua, Sima Qian and others, but now the Langya Wang family is no longer what it used to be, so the one who spoke the first sentence has become
He has become Wang Yan.
"good."
Sima Yu nodded slightly. He bent down and looked down at His Highness and his ministers.
His position is more than ten steps higher than where the ministers are standing, so even though he is bending down, he is already looking down on His Highness and the ministers.
"I heard the news that there was a rebellion by the Huns in Yecheng, Wei County. I heard that it was the five tribes of Bingzhou. I also heard that Liu Yuan was among them. Later, I heard that the incident was planned by Cao Huan, King of Chenliu.
The purpose is to restore Cao Wei, what do you think?"
After Sima Yu finished speaking, his eyes began to stare at the ministers.
Like a lion patrolling its territory.
"In my opinion, King Chenliu should not have the courage. I have many acquaintances with King Chenliu, and I know that King Chenliu is not very interested in power. I'm afraid there is something fishy about this matter."
The person who dared to speak like this in the Tai Chi Hall was naturally the King of Pingyuan, Sima Gan.
Speaking in a court meeting is, on the one hand, to explain one's views, but on the other hand, it is also a good way to prove one's status.
For example, for ordinary ministers, as long as they are not in a hurry, have something important to do, or have their heads kicked by a donkey, they will say the first few words after the person in front of them has finished speaking.
This is respect for people with high positions, and it is also your own way of survival.
The minister ordered Wang Yan to speak to Sima Qian, the king of Pingyuan. Naturally, Sima Tong, the king of Yan, was not willing to be the second one.
"Your Majesty, since it has indeed happened, I think we should suppress the matter as soon as possible. Why not issue an order to the governor of Bingzhou to control the five ministries of Bingzhou. Jizhou Bingzhou Youzhou will also send some people to suppress the matter."
Sima Tong looked at Sima Yu's face with some indifference, and then added another sentence.
"After all, this Ye City is of great importance, and it is related to King Chenliu. Your Majesty cannot take this matter too lightly."
Hearing Sima Tong's words, Sima Yu finally nodded, which was considered a response to Sima Tong.
Sima Tong, Sima Qian, and Wang Yan all finished speaking, and there was silence for a short while in the court hall.
The big bosses have stopped talking. Now is the chance for ordinary courtiers to show off.
At that time, a minister stood up and said: "Cao Wei is trying to go against heaven. If this matter is not resolved early, I am afraid things will change if it continues."
Sima Yu's mouth curled up slightly. He changed his sitting position and asked: "Many of you have said that they want to solve the problem in Yecheng. How should we solve it?"
"Of course we are sending troops."
The minister continued.
"It's just that last year's conquest last year, the national treasury was already empty. Now we have to deal with the rebellious people in Yecheng. The national treasury has no food and wealth. How can we send troops?"
Wang Sheng's words made the minister stunned for a moment. He couldn't think of any good solution for a while and had to retreat.
"If your political views are from the war faction, and you have stated your reasons and opinions, you must also state the solution."
After Sima Yu said these words, the people in the court remained calm for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
What caught Wang Sheng off guard was that the person who had something to say turned out to be Bian Cui.
As Zhang Hua's son-in-law, Bian Cui has always been very low-key after Zhang Hua's downfall. How come he has become so high-profile now?
Something's wrong!
Something is very wrong.
Wang Sheng smelled something unusual from it.
Sima Yu looked at Bian Cui with some surprise in his heart.
"If you have something to say, feel free to say it."
"promise."
After receiving the emperor's permission, Bian Cui immediately told what Zhang Hua had told him before.
"There is turmoil in Yecheng. Your Majesty should not act too hastily. You have to take another look to see if things have changed. The Huns in the five tribes of Bingzhou were settled by Cao Wei before. Naturally, they are somewhat kind to Cao Wei, but I, the Jin Dynasty, have always
In ten years, these Huns are not fools, they naturally know who is the master, and they can make these Huns risk their lives. I am afraid there are external forces behind this."
Bian Cui's words made Sima Yu's eyes light up slightly.
He naturally knew that these words were not something Bian Cui could say.
Bian Cui was given guidance by an expert behind him.
As for this expert, he is naturally Zhang Hua.
Ginger is still spicy!
Although Sima Yu had some prejudices against Zhang Hua, in Sima Yu's heart he had to admit that Zhang Hua did have great talent in governing the country.
In many ways, he also admires Zhang Hua.
"You keep talking."
Bian Cui breathed out lightly.
It was the first time he expressed his opinion in court. Even though the opinion was not his own, Bian Cui was still a little nervous.
"The first thing your Majesty needs to do is to find out who is behind this. The person behind this is extremely sinister. Yecheng may be a trap."
Hearing this, Sima Yu admired Zhang Hua even more.
He could see the problem at a glance. Zhang Hua's sense of smell was as sharp as a dog's nose.
"As for the conquest, Your Majesty has to take another look at the changes in the world. Since there is a problem in Yecheng, how did this problem arise? Yecheng was originally heavily guarded. Logically speaking,
, the people from the five tribes of the Huns cannot approach Yecheng, and your majesty has to check out the ins and outs."
It’s almost the same as Marquis Guangyuan!
Sima Yu nodded slightly.
"What Ai Qing said is absolutely true."
When Sima Yu said these words, Pingyuan King Sima Qian showed a look of fear on his face.
"Your Majesty, I am guarding Yecheng and supervising the military affairs of Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou. There are many mistakes, and I would like to ask your Majesty to convict you."
Bian Cui's words were obviously meant to check what happened behind this.
Sima Qian also has a very keen sense of smell.
Of course it was not Sima Qian who did this.
But as a guard, if something happened to Yecheng, even if he didn't do it, he would still be to blame.
Rather than being punished by the emperor later, it is better to speak clearly now.
"King Pingyuan, get up. You are in Luoyang. This is just a matter of guarding. Now something has happened in Wei County. I don't blame you. Just get up."
After hearing the emperor's words, Sima Qian was relieved of most of his worries, but he didn't want to get up yet.
"Your Majesty, even if this matter has nothing to do with me, since such a big thing has happened in Yecheng, it will be difficult for me to accept the duty of guarding."
Originally, King Pingyuan didn't want to be the guard.
He guarded Yecheng and commanded the military affairs of Bingzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou.
This sounds like great power, and in fact, his power is indeed great.
For example, the King of Hejian in Chang'an guards Chang'an and oversees Qinzhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou. Even the current emperor cannot touch him until he has something to do with him.
But Sima Qian didn't care about this matter of power and position. Now because of this position, it was more likely to harm himself. King Pingyuan just threw this hot potato away.
What is a treasure in the eyes of others is a hot potato in Sima Qian's eyes.
Sima Yu sighed softly and said: "For the time being, you, King Pingyuan, are responsible for guarding Ye City. As for what is going on in Ye City and how to do it, I still have to listen to the opinions of all your ministers."
Among the people who spoke just now, except for the minister whom Sima Yu didn't know, the others either often spoke in court meetings, or like Bian Cui, they usually told him not to worry.
The real fox has not yet revealed its tail!
Just when Sima Yu was about to catch the fox's tail, someone came out.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
