surnamed Wang

Chapter 519

Throughout the ages, almost every emperor has been moody, and Wang Quanquan didn't understand it at first, but when he saw too many officials who didn't do business, he just thought about guessing the holy will and taking advantage of it all day long. It is really helpless.

Emperor Qin burned books to confuse Confucianism to fool the people, and Han Wu only respected Confucianism to tame the people. The art of strategizing has existed since ancient times. During the Spring and Autumn Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, and finding it was a good prescription for governing the world.

It's just that with the change of dynasties, the emperor's strategy is no longer for the purpose of enriching the people and strengthening the country, but has become a check and balance like a child's play: check and balance officials, check and balance the harem, and check and balance the prince.

During the reign of a monarch, if he can give both kindness and power, and distinguish rewards and punishments, the concubines in the harem will be harmonious, and they will not be pissed off by their descendants when they lie on the dragon bed when they are old. …that is a successful emperor.

Based on this kind of thinking, the kings of various dynasties are rarely able to expand the territory like their ancestors.

Wang Gangquan has never played cards according to common sense. When he was a prince, he tossed the officials enough. Now that he is the emperor, he has become more and more lawless. All the ministers think that His Majesty has mastered the art of controlling people, not to mention testing the opponent's bottom line , Even if you guess the holy will, you have to take it easy.

……

After all, Cao Shilang is a literati, and when he was dragged out, his screams were far worse than Ji Heng's. When he was brought back again, his whole body was already hung on the guards, as if he was a dead dog.

"Lord Cao, doesn't this feel good?" Wang Bingquan smiled with narrowed eyes.

Wang Gangquan finally experienced the feelings of Emperor Shun back then, looked up, and found that the eldest prince was standing in front of him, he also knew what was going on, and deliberately frowned and said:

Just when everyone thought the farce was over, Yan Hanhai stood up, and he cupped his hands and said:

……

Power and status are only fleeting, and a throne does not mean anything. Most of the loyal ministers and righteous men are well-known throughout the ages. How many of those ordinary kings are talked about?

When Wang Gangquan was thinking about whether to use the avatar technique to be lazy, the door was pushed open with a "bang", his hand trembled, and he directly left a long stroke on the booklet.

"It's not 'to be established', but it has already been established. Just now the imperial decree was taken away by Zheng Sanbao. Didn't you see it?"

Cao Shilang barely stood up straight with the support of two colleagues, and nodded tremblingly:
"Fang Caichen seems to have seen my father."

"..."

Hearing this title, Wang Qianying secretly thought something was wrong, and asked quickly:
"Eunuch Zheng, is it true that the matter of the crown prince has been settled so hastily?"

"Father, I heard that you want to make your son the crown prince?"

……

In the imperial study room, Wang Gingquan was scratching his head while correcting the memorial. He had been doing this job for more than ten years, and it was really boring.

If there are really important matters, that's fine. Some local officials have to report even the most serious matters, just like the county magistrate of Chenghe County. Every year, weddings and funerals in his own county have to be reported in detail to His Majesty. Wang Quanquan has to respond one by one. The first time I made him anxious, and directly wrote a sentence in the memorial, "I went to the government office to get thirty big boards."

"Your Majesty, you are not joking, you just said that you are going to kill Mr. Cao, and the ministers and others can hear clearly."

"Father, my son doesn't want to be the prince."

As soon as Cao Shilang said this, there was laughter in the hall. He is over 50 this year, the youngest at home, and the old man of the Cao family has passed away for several years.

Wang Qianying suddenly understood, no wonder Zheng Sanbao has been calling himself "Prince" just now, co-authoring is really not a compliment.

When the news of the establishment of the crown prince came out of the palace, the eldest prince was still reciting poems against the scribes in Jingyu Academy, and only after the personal eunuch rushed to him did he know the whole story.

"My younger brother has been fighting in the Northwest for so many years, and my minister is already very disturbed to live in the capital with rich clothes and fine food. If he is now robbed of his crown prince..."

There is a way to come and not to be indecent. Yan Shangshu of the Ministry of War is famous for protecting his weaknesses. When Cao Shilang stepped forward to trouble Ji Heng just now, he said nothing, but now he saw the right time and directly shot back.

Wang Qianying headed all the way to the royal study, her footsteps were even more hurried than when the little eunuch came. The guards along the way turned sideways to salute. The news of the early court has spread all over the palace, and now the prince's status has been improved. upstairs.

Zheng Sanbao had just come over from the imperial study and happened to meet the eldest prince face to face.

"hiss!"

"Where did you hear the gossip?"

Moreover, this dragon chair is very hard on the buttocks. After sitting for so many years, the hemorrhoids have come out. "

Cao Shilang didn't want to experience the feeling that life is worse than death again, so he quickly bowed and said:
"Just now, the lower official made a slip of the tongue, and I hope that Yan Shangshu will show his noble hand."

Wang Gangquan knew what his son was going to say, so he directly took over the conversation and continued:
"You don't know what Qianshan's character is? If you tie him to the dragon chair and listen to ministers chanting scriptures all day long, it will be more uncomfortable than killing him."

As Zheng Sanbao said, he gave a salute with a smile on his face, Wang Qianying didn't have the heart to talk to him here, agreed with him casually, and continued walking towards the imperial study.

There are countless notes like this, and most of the day is wasted on these unimportant things.

……

It's just that as I got older, this kind of inappropriate method was gradually used. Today, when I repeat the old trick, no one expected that a little old man who is almost sixty can have such a bad taste.

Wang Gingquan frowned, it didn't look like a fake at all, Wang Qianying really felt a little unconfident when she saw this, at this moment she just listened to the other party continue:

It wasn't until his figure completely disappeared that the biggest eunuch in the entire dynasty pulled out an imperial decree from his sleeve, and then walked away slowly.

Above the court hall, all the officials suddenly burst into laughter, and there was no more tit-for-tat confrontation before.

"What is His Highness the Crown Prince talking about? The position in the East Palace is the result of discussions between His Majesty and all the ministers. It is in line with the etiquette of the ancestors, so why speak rashly? By the way, the villain has not yet congratulated His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Don't be stupid, if you don't do it, why don't you ask your brother to do it, he is the material?"

……

"What does the family talk about whether to grab or not? You two brothers have their own strengths. When you become the emperor to rule the world, he will open up territories for you and build a world that is even more glorious than your great-grandfather." Great achievements, both of you brothers will be famous in history.

In the five years since Emperor Wan came to the throne, it happened from time to time for ministers to personally experience the pain of punishment, and there were more than ten officials punished by him.

"Ying'er, you're almost forty, how can you still be so frizzy?"

"His Royal Highness, where are you going in such a hurry?"

I am afraid that only the king who is an emperor can say such words. If the throne is as unbearable as he said, how can everyone rush to sit on it.

Wang Gingquan rambled on and on for a long time, but Wang Qianying finally agreed half-heartedly, but finally added:
"The prince's position is only temporary, and Qianshan can be returned to him at any time if he wants to."

"If you tell him this, I can guarantee that he will never want it."
