Chapter 188
The next day, court meeting

After the courtiers entered the court, Wang Fu continued his previous style, walked into the palace swaggeringly, faced the angry eyes of the courtiers with some pride, and walked among the courtiers, the courtiers around him all pulled away in unison After putting away the distance from Wang Fu, facing the hateful eyes of the officials, Wang Fu was exceptionally calm, even a little complacent.

Only Zhang He smiled and nodded with him.

A senior official whispered beside him: "Why is this guy still alive? I heard that he encountered dozens of assassins in Yangzhou, and he was protected by more than a dozen disciples when he came in and out. I thought he couldn't reach Luoyang alive!"

When Wang Fu heard this, he shook his head helplessly, and said: "There is no hero in the big man, and there is no assassin who can take the head of a good man like me. What a pity!" These words made the important officials around him grit their teeth in hatred, and they did not wait. After too long, the little fat man with a dark complexion angrily walked into the court meeting, sat down, and didn't even glance in the direction of Wangfu.

All the officials got up and paid homage to see you.

After the ceremony was over, Yuan Ping couldn't wait to jump out, saluted and shouted: "Your Majesty! The minister has played!"

The little fat man looked at him, nodded, and signaled him to speak. Yuan Ping pointed to the Wang Fu in the crowd, and cursed: "This man has just entered the court, but he can't walk, but walks slowly. The privilege that he does not pursue when he enters the court is because he despises the king, is proud of his talents, and has no real nature of a king. This man has no virtue and lives in two thousand stones, and all my officials despise him!"

"I hope that Your Majesty can distinguish evil from evil, please cook a letter on King's Day!!"

Normally, this is done as a process, and the little fat man would usually nod his head and say: "I see." But today, for some reason, the little fat man was silent for a moment, and the officials were a little puzzled. Just as he was about to step forward and continue playing, the Son of Heaven spoke up.

"Yuan Jun's words are right! Where is Ting Wei Wang Yun?"

Ting Wei was originally held by Zhang Jian, and was later replaced by Wang Yun. However, Wang Yun's biological father passed away at that time, so he had to resign and go home. Zhang Jian had no choice but to serve again. At the end of the period, he returned to Luoyang and succeeded Yang Qiu as Tingwei, while Yang Qiu went to Xinzhou to serve as governor of the state. Wang Yun had just taken office, and when he heard the emperor's call, he immediately got up and walked to the center of the hall.

"Chen is here!"

After the ministers were astonished, they were extremely excited, so excited that they almost shed tears. The heavens have eyes, and His Majesty finally realized the treachery of this guy. , I only heard the emperor say: "Find me a big cauldron!"

"I want that kind of cauldron that can cook people!"

Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little dazed. Among the officials, Wang Fu's face was still calm, without any panic or panic. Wang Yun put Wang Fu into prison, He Xiu saw that things were getting bigger and bigger, so he cleared his throat and coughed a few times, to remind the mischievous pair of monarchs and ministers.

Hearing He Xiu's coughing, the little fat man calmed down, he can't kill him yet, Yangzhou is still rectifying, and reforms are still going on, if he says kill this guy at this time, and reform everything, no one will preside over it, Calm down, calm down, there is always a chance for me to get revenge!
The little fat man calmed down and said, "Forget it, you go back first!"

Wang Yun lowered his head, and slowly retreated to his seat. Seeing that what was going smoothly was destroyed by He Xiu, the officials couldn't help looking at Master He with some resentment. To shelter him?Yuan Ping was about to play, but the little fat man waved him off directly, and he sighed helplessly.

What a great opportunity, almost able to eliminate thieves for the country, what a pity!

Different from everyone's melancholy, Wang Fu looked at them with complacency, raised his brow provocatively, and Yuan Ping was so angry that he almost rushed to beat him. Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Fu got up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has played!"

The little fat man looked at him with extremely complicated eyes. He stared at Wang Fu, hesitated for a moment, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes a few times, before he said: "Say it!" Then Wang Fu said: "The minister and the trip to Yangzhou The Kegong system, the whole of Yangzhou, is completely a new system of officials, most of whom are from the Imperial Academy, and after passing the assessment of the ministers, they are appointed and dismissed as officials, which has achieved great results!"

"I have used it for a year, and Yangzhou has already made Yangzhou comparable to the big states in the Central Plains. Within three years, Yangzhou will definitely become the most important place for grain production in the Han Dynasty!"

"If the big man adopts the new system and attaches great importance to the administration of officials, it will definitely benefit the common people, so that the temple will no longer be occupied by these mediocre people!" Wang Furuo said pointedly.

"No!" No one thought that at this time, He Xiu would be the first to oppose Wang Fu's performance. Everyone was a little puzzled. Since you disagree with his political views, why do you protect him everywhere?Just let the emperor cook him up, wouldn't it be fine?He Xiu got up slowly and walked to Wang Fu's side, Wang Fu was still a little afraid of him.

Seeing him coming, he took a few steps back. In the temple, the only one who could scare the Lord of Plague was Master He. Even the emperor could not make him afraid. He also complained in his heart. It can suppress the Gongyang School, otherwise it will easily cause chaos, but as long as this old thief is not dead, he will not dare to play a day, and can only hope that he will leave the temple as soon as possible!
He Xiu frowned, and said solemnly: "Since Mintun, the government school implemented the scientific merit system, the officials everywhere have insufficient personal morality, corruption and bribery, causing chaos in the administration of officials, and suffering for the common people. disturbed!"

Wang Fu said with some disdain: "I did not behave like this in Yangzhou, why? Because I know how to use the criminal law. If severe punishments are used to deal with corrupt officials, and then a lot of money is used to support honesty, it is enough to reduce this kind of atmosphere. If there are many capable ministers in the world Some, their benefits are greater than the disadvantages of corruption, let these mediocre gentlemen of high moral character serve as officials in various places, do the officials of the Han Dynasty want to show their personal virtues, or do they want to govern the place?"

"This statement is absurd. If there is no personal virtue, how can you govern the place?"

"There are many talented people, but only those who have both ability and political integrity can achieve great things!" A minister argued.

"Hey, mediocrity like you, with no talent or virtue, can stand in the temple, so what you said is unreasonable!" Wang Fu said calmly, but made the minister tremble with anger.

"If you set up an honesty fund, and you have to assess the officials of the world, do you know how much money will be spent on the treasury? The treasury is empty, where does the money come from?"

It was Wen Renxi who said this. Although his direction was a bit wrong, seeing that he was able to oppose Wang Fu, the court ministers also agreed with his words very much. Hearing his words, Wang Fu said: "Where does the treasury come from?" Come, taxation! If a capable minister is in power, what about the taxation of a state? Just like Yangzhou, before I went there, the taxation was [-]% of what it is now?"

Wen Renxi stopped abruptly, thought for a moment, his eyes glowed, and he seemed to have suddenly realized.

"Zi Zhang asked about benevolence in Confucius, and Confucius said: Those who can practice the five things in the world are benevolent." Please ask him, saying: "Respect, tolerance, trust, sensitivity, benefit, five virtues are not complete, what is a person, what is a gentleman , Why are officials?You are also a great Confucian who is familiar with poetry and books, don't you know this truth? " Yuan Feng said.

"Heh, Zigong said: If there is something that can be given to the people and help the people, how is it? Can it be called benevolence? The Master said: What is the matter of benevolence, it must also be holy! Yao and Shun are still sick! You read poems and books in vain, this makes no sense. I don't know, what face is there to bark here?" Wang Fu said unceremoniously, the meaning of this passage is very simple, that is, Confucius believed that if one person can make all the people rich by being an official, then he is a sage up!It will even be stronger than Yao and Shun!
Yuan Feng was taken aback and lost.

For a while, Wang Jiexin fought with all the officials in the court, but all the officials could not win!
