The rise of the prince

Chapter 466
So the emperor was furious, and because of Yu Chengan's prestige, the ancestors ordered him not to kill the scholar-bureaucrat, so he used another vicious method to kill him.

With Yu Chengan's age, plus it is Dongyue now, if he leaves Beijing and heads for Guanbei, he is basically doomed, he will freeze to death on the way.

The escort officers were also happy to see him die, such a long journey, thousands of miles north in winter, who would want to go, as long as Yu Chengan died on the way, they could return to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and not be responsible.

"Fu'an, how did you think of such a trick?" After a while, the emperor suddenly asked him.

Fu An was stunned for a moment, a little confused, and then realized what the emperor said.

In the court hall this morning, Xue Fang, Du Zhi envoy, notified the various gold, silver and precious objects sent back from Ningjiang Mansion by King Pingnan. Through official auctions, it was equivalent to 120 taels of silver. Melted into treasury silver.

The emperor nodded, then became furious, dropped two teacups in a row, and reprimanded Jiangzhou officials for being so corrupt!
But when he was next to the emperor, he saw the corner of the emperor's mouth slightly raised. In fact, he was happy in his heart, more than 120 million taels!
Afterwards, the Ministry of Punishment severely presented the criminal evidence of 23 corrupt officials in Jiangzhou, and announced the punishment plan. Among them, 13 were beheaded, and several others were sentenced to exile for minor circumstances. The emperor allowed it.

In addition, there are excerpts from the magistrate, Tongzhi, and county magistrates of Ningjiang Prefecture, all of which praise the meritorious service of King Pingnan in governing Ningjiang, who was transferred from Beijing to the north, and his means are extraordinary.

How King Pingnan swept the streets and ordered Jiangzhou to be governed has become a good story outside the court, but a good story is always just a good story, so naturally the court cannot say that.

It wasn't until Wang Tong, the prefect of Ningjiang, came to write the booklet, and all the civil and military officials found out, well, this is more detailed and outrageous than the good stories outside.
The emperor asked He Zhao to read it to everyone in the court hall. This book sounds better than those storytellers who sing and sing. What about sweeping the streets, the Xiang army guarding the streets, scrubbing the walls and floors, and catching petty thieves. At first, I felt happy listening to it , but the more I listen, the more I feel that they are intertwined, and the more I listen, the more I want to know what happened later.

Even Fu An himself was dumbfounded.

It wasn't until later that the people changed, but the real treacherous and evil people couldn't change. Only when King Pingnan arrested them, did someone react.

I began to discuss in a low voice, feeling that there are various reasons in each, but no one can explain where the reasons are, I feel miraculous, unexpected, and reasonable.

Later, Wang Tong also wrote in the memorial that King Pingnan said, "Don't do evil because it is small, and don't do good because it is small." If you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach thousands of miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't form rivers and seas.

When these words came out, the officials were moved, and even Fu An was vaguely moved, so He Zhao took the lead and began to praise King Pingnan. Everyone had their own opinions, but what he remembered most clearly was Hanlin University That's right.

It is said that there are two kinds of people in this world who can accomplish things, either they are very wise or they are very stupid.

In fact, great wisdom and great foolishness are interlinked. A great wise man can accomplish things only when he understands great foolishness. A great fool may do things unintentionally but hide his great wisdom.Most people are wise, but they are all small wisdom. Small wisdom is the easiest to think that it is smart, but in the end it is difficult to achieve great things.

King Pingnan is the kind of man of great wisdom, so he understands that only great fools can accomplish things.

Fu An was confused, but he also felt that what he said might be reasonable.

The emperor didn't like Chen Yu at first, especially recently, this time it was rare to boast a few words. In the end, everyone told what they thought was the root of King Pingnan's success. They each had their own reasons. The emperor rarely drank tea and listened with gusto. The morning court lasted For two hours, I haven't seen the emperor so happy for a long time.

Now that Fuan understood, the emperor probably asked about this matter, how did King Pingnan think of those tricks?
He didn't know, but he knew what the emperor wanted to hear: "Your Majesty, King Pingnan is talented, intelligent, thoughtful, and has great wisdom. I don't know what he thinks."

"Hehe, yes, if Wang Yue hadn't mentioned it, I would have been kept in the dark, and I still don't know how chaotic Jiangzhou is." The emperor laughed and said, "I didn't expect Jiangzhou to be so chaotic. He didn't argue or speak for himself, and went directly. As a result, Jiangzhou was ruled in such a miraculous and ingenious way in just a few months.

At first, when Concubine Tian told me the story told by a storyteller outside the palace, I thought it was an embellished gossip, which was not enough to be believed, but I didn't expect that the real story was three points more exciting than the storyteller's story. "

"Isn't it, Your Majesty, at first I thought it was just a joke." Fu An echoed.

"It's incredible"

Fu'an rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty, haven't there always been a few incredible people in all dynasties.

For example, Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing, and the emperor Taizu of this dynasty, those great achievements seem unlikely to be possible now, but they are not accomplished, are they?He can always do things that are unimaginable to us. In my opinion, King Pingnan may be such a character, and he cannot be saved by ordinary people. "

The emperor was stunned, and nodded: "You may be right, yes, he may be that kind of person." As he spoke, he paced and thought, and the more he thought about it, the more plausible he felt, "Fu'an, I want to go to Jiangzhou have a look."

Fu An was startled, and hurriedly said: "No, Your Majesty, you absolutely must not do it. It's cold in the twelfth lunar month and the sky is freezing. Your Majesty must take care of the dragon's body."

"This is a big event!" The emperor turned his head and looked at him: "You don't understand, I'm going to take a look and ask myself if this is true. ,Do you understand?"

Fu An dared not speak out when his throat was full, because he understood, he understood what the emperor meant, and because he understood, he did not dare to talk nonsense.

"But your majesty, it won't be too late to go again in the spring of next year. There is no rush for a month or two."

The emperor slowly stretched out his hand and rolled up his sleeves: "Fu'an, look what this is."

Fu An didn't understand, he was a little scared, and looked at the emperor in confusion.

"Look at my hands!"

Looking at it from Fu'an, the emperor's arm was as thin as a dry branch, pink flesh and blood vessels could be seen under the thin skin, densely covered with black spots, wrinkled and colorless.

"Your Majesty." For a moment, he felt a little uncomfortable, his nose was sore, tears were about to fall out, and he quickly lowered his head.At the beginning, the all-powerful, majestic and majestic, made the enemy frightened by the news. The emperor, who was so talented and broad-minded, held the country and the country in his hands, has now become like this. Time is ruthless.

"Why are you crying?" The emperor said coldly: "My life is my life, this is the number of days.

I don't have time, but I still can't let go of some things.I know how much is left, one or two months, even ten or twenty days.

Look at the East Palace, the prince, if He Zhao was there and Wen Daoli was there before, even if I handed it over to him, I would be more or less at ease, but now the other half is gone. "The emperor shook his head.

"It's not just that the rebellious son is not successful.

Every evening, I look to the north, and the sky is covered with a gray mist, which is opaque and makes people breathless.

It used to be just the Liao Kingdom, but now there is a tiger-like Jin Kingdom, and Xixia, who are making small moves every year, thinking that I don’t know, Yang Wenguang has already secretly reported it to me several times. "

The emperor slowly opened his thin arms, "There are tigers and wolves everywhere in this world, but some of them have their teeth exposed, and some are still hiding them, pretending to be a dog."

Speaking of this, the emperor sighed, and then said with his hands behind his back: "I don't have much time, and I don't have much time left for this country. Maybe there is only one person like you said, who can't be treated by ordinary people. only chance”
