Humane Yongchang

Chapter 422 Defection
Wang Ben bowed outside Changning Palace for a day and a night.

And the lights in Yanqing Palace were also lit all day and all night.

The meaning of both is very clear.

Wang Ben: If you do not allow me to go to Hanoi County, my lord, I will not be able to stand here!
Chen Sheng: It is impossible to allow you to go to Hanoi. If you want to spend time, I will accompany you!
Wang Ben acted like a courtier.

And Chen Sheng also gave Wang Ben enough face.

Those who can guess the inside story, whether they agree with Wang Ben's going to Hanoi County or disagree with Wang Ben's going to Hanoi County, have nothing to say!

The day passed quickly.

Night fell again.

Chen Sheng, who had been sitting upright on the Yanqing Hall for a day and a night, still could not see the slightest fatigue in his eyes. He was leisurely holding Han Fei's newly dictated book "On Justice" and read it leisurely. Aftermath.

Since the judiciary system of the Han Dynasty gradually took shape, Han Fei's presence in the court has become less and less.

Moreover, the decrease in his sense of presence was not due to Chen Sheng's instigation.

But he did it himself.

Even the Yanqing Palace court meeting on weekdays, he has not attended the meeting for several months because of his poor health.

Some civil servants and military generals newly promoted by the court have never seen Han Fei, the famous right minister in Kyushu!
However, Chen Sheng knew that he didn't miss any of the things that Han Fei should do...

Han Fei undoubtedly understood Chen Sheng.

He knew how big Chen Sheng's ambitions were!
I also know how difficult Chen Sheng's ambition is!
Is it difficult to unify Kyushu?
Undoubtedly difficult.

However, in Chen Sheng's overall plan, the unification of Kyushu has not even reached the mid-term progress of his plan...

Chen Sheng undoubtedly understood Han Fei.

He knew why Han Fei took the initiative to weaken his influence.

I also know why Han Fei didn't even attend the Yanqing court meeting.

Because the law should not be mixed with personal will.

When a countryman in the Han Dynasty who doesn't even know the big characters can casually talk about the core essence of legalism such as "the emperor's crime is the same as fate".

Han Fei, the legalist leader who built the Han law system, has become the most fatal weakness of the Han law!
Sometimes, the living do not necessarily have an advantage over the dead.

The life of the deceased has already scratched the full stop. Since there are countless ways to explain his life, it is also possible to put all the good qualities in the world on him.

And living people still have their own will, and they may make mistakes...

Han Fei was trying to make himself a living dead.

In the hope that he can contribute his strength to Chen Sheng's plan to the greatest extent.

Chen Sheng remembered that someone said that Kyushu is lucky to have him!
On the contrary, Chen Sheng felt that it was a great man's fortune to have Han Fei!

He made a bookmark, closed the "On Justice" in his hand, raised his eyes to look outside the hall, and said with a light smile, "Sister, come in when you are here."

The voice echoed in the empty hall for a long time.

Chen Yue's figure finally appeared at the entrance of the main hall.

She was wearing a cyan-colored Confucian skirt, her plain face was flushed with flushed cheeks, and she was holding a roasted rabbit with a shiny face in both hands.

She strode into the hall like a man's house like before, but her steps were stiff, as if her legs were covered with plaster: "My daughter Chen Yue, I pay my respects to the king, long live my king, long live, long live."

Chen Sheng looked at her, if he remembered correctly, this was the first time Chen Yue had entered Yan Qing Palace.

He got up and walked down the throne to help Chen Yue, and smiled gently: "Where is the rabbit?"

Chen Yue looked at his gentle face, the red face was slightly better, but the expression was still very stiff: "Go back to the king, this is delivered from home, the servant girl heard that the king ate half a catty of mutton before nightfall... "

Speaking of this, he wriggled the corners of his lips, gritted his teeth suddenly, and bowed down again holding the tray: "My daughter invites the king to eat barbecue, and please allow the king to allow my daughter-in-law to enter the palace to have an audience!"

After all, it is a woman who grew up in the frontier, accustomed to the straightforward way of speaking, and can't learn the way of duplicity.

Chen Sheng sighed softly in his heart, stretched out his hand to support Chen Yue again, and then took the barbecue with both hands, and said softly: "Since the elder sister has come, I must listen to you, but it's just this time, don't make an exception."

As he spoke, he emphasized his tone, and said seriously: "We are a family, you open your mouth, but whatever your elder brother Chen Sheng can do, he will never utter the word 'no'!"

"But Chen Sheng, the King of Han, he must be the parent of thousands of people in the Han Dynasty first, and then your eldest brother Chen Sheng, elder sister understand?"

Chen Yue bit the corner of her mouth tightly, lowered her head and replied, "I know I was wrong."

Chen Sheng nodded, and said with a light smile: "Then elder sister, you should go back and rest first, and I will send someone to invite your father-in-law in."

Chen Yue quickly raised her head to look at him, then quickly lowered her head, and whispered, "Brother, did I cause you trouble?"

Chen Shengwen said: "It doesn't count, it just makes it difficult for me to do it. If it spreads, in the future, anyone who has a difficult matter that I can't explain here will know and ask you to be a lobbyist. There is no way to do this matter! "

He didn't hide or use any roundabout ways to comfort Chen Yue. Her brain circuit was relatively straightforward and she couldn't figure it out.

Chen Yue raised her head immediately: "No, no, I came here by myself because I watched Wang Wu's cowardly family crying, wiping away tears, and dying, so I came here by myself. No one pushed me... no There will be another time, even if he kowtows to death in front of me next time, I will definitely ignore him!"

"That can't be!"

Chen Sheng said with a smile: "I will make a rule later that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so there will be no more people begging you around the corner."

Chen Yueli nodded and said, "That's a good relationship!"

Chen Sheng raised his chin: "Then elder sister, go back and rest first, it's hard for you to talk to Wang Ben when I'm here."

"Hey."

Chen Yue responded, turned around and was about to leave, but in the middle of the turn, she seemed to suddenly remember something, pressed her left hand with her right hand and said, "Your servant, leave!"

Chen Sheng watched her walk out of the hall quickly, the smile on her face disappeared slowly with her steps.

After Chen Yue's footsteps had gone away, he shouted expressionlessly: "Come here, pass on Wang Ben!"

……

Wang Ben walked into Yanqing Hall with his head depressed and followed behind the visitor.

As soon as he stepped through the gate of the palace, he felt two cold and fierce eyes falling on him. In an instant, the hair on the back of his head almost stood on end.

He walked up to His Royal Highness in three steps in two steps in a frightened manner, and clasped his palms and bowed to the end: "The last general, Wang Ben, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my king, long live long live!"

Perhaps the most powerful force in the world is the power of the system.

Regardless of whether you are a capable minister of the world, or a veteran of the battlefield who conquers cities and territories, once you are assimilated by the system, you will submit to the mighty power of the system!
There are few exceptions!

"Hey, General Wang please hurry up, you are my elder sister's father-in-law, and you are still my elder, how dare I accept your big gift!"

On the throne, Chen Sheng focused on cutting the barbecue with a knife, and said softly with a smile on his face: "I should be the one who salutes you!"

When Wang Ben heard this, he felt his scalp explode, and his heart skipped a beat and scolded his two sons bloody.

He confronted Chen Sheng, within the rules of the game between monarch and minister, even if Chen Sheng was dissatisfied with his views, it would not affect Chen Sheng's views on him and his Wang family!

But asking Chen Yue to come forward to say hello on his behalf, that's an outside move, it's an outside move to reach into Chen Sheng's house.

For the rule makers to make this kind of out-of-the-box trick...

Can Chen Sheng tolerate him, and the Wang family?
Wang Ben didn't dare to defend himself, so he could only say in a long and respectful voice: "The last general is found guilty, please punish him, Your Majesty!"

Chen Sheng threw down the bare leg bones in his hands, wiped his hands with a linen towel, and said with a light smile: "This is how many times you father and son have oppressed me with the elders in my family? The second time, or the third time?" ?”

Wang Ben became more and more nervous when he heard it, but he didn't dare to say more, so he could only plead guilty again: "The general is guilty, please punish him!"

"Do you really want me to punish you?"

Chen Sheng said with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes: "I can't say that after I punished you, that jerk from your family went to my elder sister to cry, make trouble, and hang himself."

Wang Ben: "The dog's cholera made a big mistake. The king is willing to punish him, but it is an extrajudicial kindness. If it is too late for the last general to thank you, how dare you complain."

When he said that cholera was the leader, he was naturally suspected of exaggerating that the leader was on the line.

But it is better for him to go online by himself than Chen Shenglai to go online.

"very good."

Chen Sheng suppressed the smile on his face, and said lightly: "Think of your two generations of Wang's achievements in defending the border, so I won't make things difficult for you. The imperial edict prohibits him from returning to Beijing for life."

Wang Ben's heart was in pain, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing for the rest of his life. Doesn't it mean that his Wang family can never catch up with the galloping carriage of the big man?
As the saying goes, one step at a time, one step at a time.

According to the ancient experience of being an official, those who have missed the merits of being a dragon will need several generations of unremitting struggle for every step forward.

That's all for him, but Li'er, the great horse of the royal family, is still in the prime of his career!
But who is to blame?
Wang Ben responded bitterly: "The last general will obey Wang's orders."

Only then did Chen Sheng pick up the knife, cut off another piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth, without raising his head, he said softly, "Tell me, what kind of self-confidence is it that makes you dare to block me at the palace gate for a day and a night!"

Wang Ben took a deep breath, and after calming down his complicated emotions, he said seriously: "The general knows that the king sent the red-clothed army to the west this time, and he is determined to wipe out the imperial army of Hanoi Ji Zhou. Please remember that God has the virtue of good life. Promise the last general to rush to Hanoi County immediately, and persuade my father to surrender to my master of the Great Han King, so as to avoid a disaster of swordsmanship!"

Chen Sheng looked up at Wang Ben in surprise.

As soon as Wang Ben came, he knew that Wang Ben was asking to be a lobbyist for the situation in Sizhou.

It was only for this reason that Wang Ben dared to come to see him when the Red Army was fighting Wang Jian.

I can't, I'm here to plead for Wang Jian, right?
Hundreds of thousands of troops are at war, how about playing?

But he didn't expect that Wang Ben could see that he was planning to completely wipe out the twenty or so forbidden troops in Hanoi County in this battle!
In this matter, he has not disclosed the slightest word to the outside world.

Even on Meng Tian's side, before the Red Clothes Army gained an absolute advantage, he was not prepared to deliver the Wang Ling.

Such a half-life veteran should not be underestimated.

"interesting."

Chen Sheng threw the butcher knife into the tray with a bang, grabbed the sackcloth to wipe his hands and leaned against the throne, intervening while chuckling: "When Wang Jian and Zhang Liang sent millions of soldiers to besiege my big man, no one told them, We must remember that God has the virtue of being good at life, and we must save the soldiers below from a disaster with a knife handle!"

"I tried my best to persuade Wang Jian to return to my man. It was a time of giving gifts, birthday celebrations and New Year's greetings, but no one told him that he should remember the virtue of good life in heaven and save the soldiers under him from a war of swords. disaster!"

"This time, I'm ready to get serious, but you came out to persuade me to remember the virtues of heaven, and to save the soldiers below from a sword disaster!"

"To be honest, do you all think that I, Chen Sheng, are soft-hearted and easy to bully?"

"Do you all think that it is only right for others to beat me, Chen Sheng, and that I, Chen Sheng, beat other people with carelessness and insensitivity?"

Wang Ben was silent for a while, and then replied honestly: "Your Majesty is worrying too much. Anyone in the world who dares to think that Your Majesty is soft-hearted and easy to deceive has already moved his head..."

"You probably don't think so."

Chen Sheng was unmoved: "But that's what you're doing... To be honest, it's not that I don't want to give you Wang's face, on the contrary, in the face of my elder sister, I have already given you enough." Wang's face."

"It was your father who threw my Chen Sheng's face to the ground and trampled it into the mud. Now, I, the Red Army, are going to take my face back for me, the former general!"

"So, if you have any conditions that can impress me, let's continue talking."

"If you still talk about the lives of the more than [-] concubine Zhou soldiers in Hanoi, then don't talk about it."

Chen Sheng's attitude.

Wang Ben was firmer than Wang Ben expected, but fortunately, the day and night he bowed outside the Changning Palace was not done by Bai Yi.

"The final general is willing to issue a military order!"

Wang Ben sonorously said loudly: "If the final general enters my father's camp, he will protect more than [-] concubines. Zhou's forbidden army will change its flag and change its flag, and turn eastward, and cooperate with General Li Xin to crusade against Taiping Dao!"

Chen Sheng suddenly became interested: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Wang Ben: "The last general dare not lie to the king. Since the defeat of Chen Liu in the past, more than half of my father's lieutenant generals have been appointed by my Wang family."

Chen Sheng knocked on the king's case with one hand, quickly reintegrated the situation in Kyushu in his mind, and analyzed how to maximize the benefits of the more than [-] Ji Zhou guards in Hanoi if they could really turn against each other before the battle!

After just a dozen or so breaths, he made up his mind and said, "Cooperating with Li Xin in the crusade against the Taiping Dao is unnecessary, but if you can really win the command of the more than [-] Jizhou Forbidden Army in Hanoi, I need you to lead the army." Turn to the northwest, go to Shangdang, and deter the three prefectures of Yong, Bing, and Si!"

When Wang Ben heard this, how could he not know that Chen Sheng was secretly joining forces with Taipingdao in order to prevent Hanoi's imperial army from surrendering to the Han?
But he had no choice, so he could only reply immediately: "The last general will obey the king's orders!"
