Chapter 83 A little bad luck
The emperor has arrived and the court meeting has begun.
Chunyu Yue looked at Fusu, his heart pounding. He had already smelled a hint of conspiracy, either against Fusu or Huaiguzi. No matter who it was against, if Fusu Mao rushed in rashly, he would
I got bruises all over my body.
However, now I can only watch and cannot stop it.
After all the officials saluted, Fusu stood up and said respectfully: "My son, please come to the court to listen to the government."
Ying Zheng frowned and felt slightly unhappy. For such a big matter, Fusu came without saying hello and was good at making decisions.
However, he did not object. In fact, he had expressed this idea a long time ago, hoping that Fusu could enter the court and become familiar with political affairs.
It is true that he loves Fu Yao, but there is a difference between loving and valuing him. One is emotional favor, and the other is intellectual cultivation.
Fusu was his eldest son, and Ying Zheng had always trained him as his successor. Although this successor had many shortcomings, he was... after all, a good person, not a coward.
So Ying Zheng nodded.
Fusu was able to hold his nerve this time and did not immediately rebuke Huaiguzi. Instead, he took two steps back and stood among the ministers.
Fusu had just retreated. Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Wang Li, and his grandfather and grandson all stood up and wanted to resign from the military. They only retained their title and the name of general, and handed over their military power.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court.
The change of military power is a major event among major events. It is often a sign of the promotion of some people or the demotion of others. How come there was no news about the handover of power by the Wang family in advance?
Ying Zheng was also slightly surprised, but after thinking about it for a moment, he understood what was going on. This was Wang's self-protection.
Ying Zheng looked at the Wang family and his son below, seeing worried and trembling faces on their faces. They took the initiative to hand over the power in their hands in order to survive.
Ying Zheng felt very comfortable. He liked others to surrender to him. So he nodded and said, "Yes."
Immediately, a young eunuch stepped forward and took away the seals from the three people.
Wang Jian relaxed his hands and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Then, Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Wan.
Wang Wan stood up and began to report on the implementation of some recent policies. For example, writing the same text, driving the same track, accepting the soldiers of the world, defending Sichuan, and building Chi Road.
As a policy continues to be implemented, there will often be endless problems. This requires discussions among ministers and constant repairs.
Li Shui stood in the corner, listening to the courtiers talking, and couldn't help but nod his head.
What I understand is only a general direction. And these courtiers are able to analyze the pros and cons from all aspects, which is indeed extraordinary.
It's just that Li Shui didn't notice that everyone was a little absent-minded during the meeting today.
They couldn't help but glance at Wang and his son, and then wondered in their hearts: "Wang, what happened? Why did he suddenly surrender his military power when the sun was at its peak? What happened to Wang Li? Who beat him black and blue?
?”
In addition to Wang Li, they were also puzzled by Master Fusu: "Although Master Fusu occasionally participates in government affairs, he rarely comes directly to the political hall. Is there anything big going to happen today? I always feel like something is wrong."
Finally, the eyes of the courtiers focused on Li Shui: "There is something wrong with this guy. Until now, this shameless man has not said a word during the court meeting. It is too quiet. It is so quiet that it makes people feel uneasy."
Li Shui saw the constant glances and felt a little unhappy in his heart: "What? I haven't provoked anyone, so why are you looking at me so maliciously?"
The court meeting finally came to an end. Wang Wan compiled the suggestions of the ministers and wrote them down on bamboo slips. After they were organized and formed, they were promulgated throughout the country.
The officials breathed a sigh of relief. Today's court meeting passed peacefully, which was not bad.
However, at this time, Ying Zheng said calmly: "Today, I want to canonize someone."
The ministers were stunned for a moment, waiting nervously.
Ying Zheng said: "Huai Guzi is learned and talented, loyal and distinguished, and has an extraordinary background. I canonize him as a banished immortal, and he will be promoted to one rank, and he will be equal to the chief of Zuo Shu."
At first, all the ministers were shocked when they heard the words "Zuo Shuchang". The title of "Zuo Shuchang" is a combination of title and title. Once you are awarded this title, you have to be responsible for specific matters.
This guy Huai Guzi acts unscrupulously and will definitely bring trouble to Chao Gang.
But after tasting it carefully, the courtiers felt relieved again, because they noticed that the emperor said "equal to Zuo Shu Zhang."
The same as the Zuo Shuchang, but not the same as the Zuo Shuchang. Once the title is achieved, it has no authority and is just a false name.
Thinking of this, the courtiers felt relieved again.
As for the Banished Immortal... forget it, just call him whatever he likes. Calling him Banished Immortal won't cost you any money. I'm tired and don't want to bother anymore.
Li Shui was a little confused: "Chief Zuo? Shang Yang seems to have this official position. I live in Shang Jun's courtyard again. Isn't this too unlucky?"
Bad luck is bad luck, and when the emperor awards a reward, it is natural to express gratitude. Immortals are heavenly beings, but if they are relegated to immortals, they are the emperor's subjects.
Li Shui stood up and was about to say thank you. Someone came out one step ahead and said sincerely: "I think this is absolutely not allowed."
Li Shui looked up and saw that it was Fusu.
Chunyu Yue's heart suddenly sank. He was afraid of what he was going to do. Mr. Fu Su was really going to remonstrate.
Ying Zheng remained calm and asked, "Why not?"
Fusu said: "Huai Guzi is a deceiver, vulgar and rude. How can there be such an immortal in the world? Wouldn't it be ridiculous if my father named him a banished immortal?"
Ying Zheng asked: "Just because he is vulgar and rude, you are sure that he is cheating and is not an immortal?"
Fusu was stunned for a moment and replied: "Yes."
Ying Zheng sneered: "The nine sons of a dragon are all different. Immortals must have white hair and beards, and they must not eat the fireworks of the world. If you are vulgar and rude, you are not an immortal. If you are so lazy and indolent, you are not a farmer. If you are willing to do good, you are not a merchant.
?”
Fusu opened his mouth and was speechless.
He had prepared a lot of words, ranging from talking about monsters taking over and causing harm to the country and the people, to talking about the monsters and the chaos in the gods.
But Ying Zheng's words left him unable to answer: Why do you say Huaiguzi is fake?
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and sighed slightly in his heart: "This son is quite good at Taoism. When he talks, he always talks in one way. But his words are always meaningless, empty and tasteless, and cannot hit the point directly. He needs experience.
Ah, I need to practice outside the court."
Chunyu Yue was a little confused: "If I don't make amends today, Your Majesty may have some opinions on Mr. Fusu. However, now is not a good time to give Huaiguzi a fatal blow."
"That's all. Let's give it a try now. How long will it take? The evidence I collected should be enough to refute Huaiguzi."
Thinking of this, Chunyu Yue stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, for several months, Master Fusu has been conducting overt and covert investigations to investigate Huaiguzi. The hard work has paid off, and Master Fusu has obtained conclusive evidence."
"All these evidences can prove that Huaiguzi has never seen an immortal. The immortal objects he brought out are only human objects."
