The emperor has arrived and the court meeting has begun.
Chunyu Yue looked at Fusu, his heart beating loudly. He had already smelled a hint of conspiracy, targeting Fusu and possibly Huaiguzi. No matter who he is targeting, if Fusu Mao breaks in rashly, he will be covered in bruises.
However, now I can only watch and cannot stop him.
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, feeling 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 likes Fu Yao, but there is a difference between loving him and valuing him. One is emotional pampering, and the other is intellectual cultivation.
Fusu is his eldest son, and Ying Zheng has been training him as his successor. Although this successor has many shortcomings, but...he is still a good person, not a fool.
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 just retreated. Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Wang Li, their ancestors and grandson all stood up and wanted to resign from the military. Only the title and the name of general were retained, and military power was handed over.
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, and it is often a sign of the promotion of some people or the demotion of others. Why was there no news beforehand when Wang handed over power?
Ying Zheng was also slightly surprised, but after thinking about it for a moment, he understood what was going on. This is Wang's self-protection.
Ying Zheng looked at the Wangs and his son below, and saw that they were worried and trembling, and they took the initiative to hand over the power in their hands in order to survive.
Ying Zheng felt very comfortable. He likes others to surrender to him. So he nodded and said, "Yun."
Immediately, a young eunuch stepped forward and took away the seals of 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, books and chariots follow the same track, such as accepting the soldiers of the world, such as defending Sichuan and building Chi Road.
As a policy continues to be implemented, there will often be endless problems. This requires discussion among ministers and constant revision.
Li Shui stood in the corner, listening to the courtiers talking, and couldn't help but nod his head.
What I know is just a general direction. And these courtiers can 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 look at Wang and his son, and then wondered in their hearts: "Wang, what happened? Why did you suddenly surrender your 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: "What? I haven't provoked anyone, so why are you looking at me with such evil intentions?"
The court meeting finally came to an end. Wang Wan summarized the suggestions of the ministers and wrote them down on bamboo slips. After the arrangement is finalized, it will be promulgated nationwide.
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 and waited nervously.
Ying Zheng said: "Huai Guzi is learned and talented, loyal and distinguished, and has an extraordinary background. I will confer upon him the rank of Immortal, and he will be promoted to the rank of Zuo Shuchang."
At first, all the ministers were shocked when they heard the words "Zuosu Chang". The title of Zuo Shuzhang is a combination of professional 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 Shuchang."
The same as Zuo Shuchang, but not the same as Zuo Shuchang. When the title comes, it has no authority, just a false name.
Thinking of this, the courtiers felt relieved again.
As for banishing the immortal... forget it, just call him whatever you like. Even if you shout to banish an immortal, you won't lose a piece of meat. 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 the emperor naturally wants to thank you for giving him a reward. Immortals are people in heaven, but if you banish immortals, they are the emperor's people.
Li Shui stood up and was about to thank him. There was a person who came out one step ahead and said sincerely: "I think it is absolutely impossible."
Li Shui looked up and saw Fusu.
Chunyu Yue's heart suddenly sank. He was afraid of something. Mr. Fusu was really going to remonstrate.
Ying Zheng remained calm and asked, "Why not?"
Fusu said: "Huai Guzi is a swindler, 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 beards and hair, and do 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, a little speechless.
He had prepared a lot of words, starting with the evildoers taking over and causing harm to the country and the people, all the way to talking about the monsters and the chaos of the gods.
But Ying Zheng's words left him unable to answer: Why do you say Huaiguzi is fake?
Ying Zheng looked at Fu Su 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 always have no meaning, are empty and tasteless, and cannot go straight to the point. 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 took out are only human objects."
"The veteran and Mr. Fusu jointly testified against Huaiguzi. This man lied about being an immortal and deceived. If your majesty allows, the veteran can bring the physical evidence one by one."
