Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1083
The curtain of Xianhe's 13 years was suddenly opened by a death news.

In the first month of the new year, people in the metropolis are still lamenting that the atmosphere of this year's New Year, including the Lantern Festival, is not as good as that of last year. As such, the city is depressed, but soon a news spreads quietly in the city. Come: As the Taifu Wang Dao of Zhongxing Yuanfu, he died of illness in the village of Langyaqiao County a few days ago!
This news spread quickly in Jiankang City, and soon the Langya Wang family's mourning team also entered the capital, reporting the news to Taiyuan and many family friends in the capital, confirming this fact.

Director Wang is dead?

When many people heard this news, the first feeling in their hearts was surprise, and then a kind of sadness that was as thin as cotton silk permeated their hearts.Even the Danyang people, who had the worst relationship with the Langya overseas Chinese, seldom felt gloating after hearing the news of Wang Dao's death.

Wang Dao includes the entire Langya Wang family. Although it has gradually faded out of the mainstream of the current situation since a few years ago, anyone in this world and in Jiangdong has to admit that this family, especially Wang Dao, has had an impact on the world. is huge and deep.

Since China and North Korea, there have been many famous ministers and Wang Zong, and Wang Dao can never be called perfect among them. Even in today's world, no matter in terms of private morals or talents displayed, it is sometimes said that someone can win the public opinion. Pass Wang Dao.But no one can deny that Director Wang's great contribution to the situation of Nandu Zhongxing is unmatched by anyone else!

Therefore, when Yuanzhongtai, including Shiliu, has not made any clear statement on this, the people's memory and nostalgia for Wang Dao have gradually begun.Although it was just a little suspense and nothing more profound, but this kind of completely spontaneous expression was more able to express the current world's affirmation of this person.

Soon the trend continued to spread, and even some pleasure boats on the Qinhuai River took the initiative to remove the too bright lantern decorations.Spreading to the upper level, many families of Shiliu left their capitals for Langya County. On the avenue between Jiankang and Jincheng, the emotional elegiac cries of the people of the time can be heard everywhere.

These piles of reminiscences are not motivated by any profit or loss. In addition to the sadness of parting, there is probably also the meaning of saying goodbye to an era.

The whole country celebrates the success of one person, this kind of experience is felt by many people, like the previous great victory in the Central Plains was introduced to the capital, which was the joy of the common people.

And the entire city is filled with a sad atmosphere because of the loss of one person, even if the atmosphere is not very strong, this is extremely rare.Even the death of Su Zu in his early years was not as deep as the resonance brought by Wang Dao's death to the people of the time.

The death of an important minister of Yuan Fu, the folk atmosphere is second to none, and the most important thing naturally comes from the honor and courtesy given by the center.

In the past, when encountering such situations, once the ministers mourned and reported the funeral, even if there was still room for discussion on the gift of the ordinance, they would definitely send envoys to comfort the family members of the deceased as soon as possible.

But soon someone found out that the news of Director Wang's death had been reported to the capital for two days, but Taiyuan has never made any official statement about it.Although there were also a large number of Taiwan ministers who took leave to go to Langya to express their condolences, but without exception, they were all in their personal capacities, and even a few Taiwan assistants were still sitting on the stage and working normally!
After making this discovery, many people at that time, especially those who had benefited from Director Wang, suddenly became angry and expressed their dissatisfaction through various channels. .

In the official office of Zhongshu, He Chong, the new supervisor of Zhongshu, looked very lonely. At this time, there were a lot of proclamations piled up on his case, and he was not in the mood to review and sort them out.

It was already the fourth day since Dao Wang passed away. Although He Chong himself did not go to Langya County, he sent his family members to express his condolences.His most important task at the moment is mainly to prepare for the upcoming second round of bureaucratic rectification, to make clear the many backlogs in the local area, in order to get on the right track as soon as possible.

However, this work has to be stopped right now. One of the reasons is naturally that a large number of officials under the Zhongshu Office frequently took leave to express their condolences, which disrupted the rhythm of affairs.On the other hand, it is the internal and external aspects of people's dissatisfaction with the central government. For example, just yesterday, He Chong issued more than a dozen government affairs edicts, more than half of which were rejected and refused to be implemented.

As a result, almost the entire government affairs system in Taiwan was almost paralyzed, but He Chong was helpless, not even angry.

Because in the eyes of the people at that time, He Chong was Wang Dao's nephew, and Wang Dao could be called He Chong's benefactor at the same time. He Chong currently lives in Taifu, the most important thing he should do is to strive for a fair evaluation and honor for Director Wang.

But now, instead of making a comment on this matter, He Chong concealed his indifference with so-called public affairs and government affairs, which completely lost morality and was naturally despised by others.

He Chong was worried about sitting in the official office here, and Chu Chong, who also looked sad, came over not long after.Chu Chong should be regarded as the number one assistant minister in Taiwan right now, but he was not immune from current criticism because of this. On the contrary, he was even more questioned because of his position as a local official like Situ.

Relatively speaking, Chu Chong is facing more serious difficulties than He Chong.Because the internal and external personnel appointments he was in charge of were directly related to the results of their rectification of officials in the future. As Chu Chong was criticized, many personnel appointments he issued were directly rejected by the parties concerned, and he did not dare to jump out at this juncture to accept the criticism.

The two smiled wryly at each other, feeling helpless in their hearts for a while.

Although Director Wang's death is a major event, it would be an exaggeration to say that Taichung's mishandling of this alone has affected the instability of the entire political situation.Because no matter how lofty Director Wang is, he has faded out of the current situation for a long time, and if a person neglects current affairs because of his old feelings, he is not worthy of a foothold in the current situation.

The reason why there was such a big reaction in Taicheng in just a few days is actually mainly rooted in the government orders they implemented.Even if the cleaning in the front desk allows them to control the inside, the control is not absolute. After all, there are some people and some things that even they cannot completely clean out.

For example, Wei Chong, who had been deprived of military power before, was increasingly marginalized in Taiwan, but after all, his status as the head of the country was there, and there would naturally be a group of frustrated people following him.Although Wei Chong is clumsy and talented, but this method of attacking the reputation of political opponents does not need to be taught.

Moreover, after the spring of this year, they will implement more stringent reforms in the administration of officials in order to control Jiangdong Prefecture County more thoroughly. This kind of thing cannot be hidden from people.There will inevitably be a considerable number of incumbents who will be affected by this purge, and they naturally have the intention of hyping up something in order to protect themselves.

Combining many internal and external factors, Wang Dao's death provided the potential opponents with the best excuse. Such a big trend was generated in a very short period of time, so that a situation was gradually reached as long as it was not handled properly. Wang Dao's funeral, everything else is a consensus.

The pressure felt by the Taiwan assistants is not only from Shiliu's attack, but also from the urgency of time.Although they are still dragging Shen Weizhou's appointment in Xuzhou, Xuzhou affairs have been proceeding in an orderly manner, and no one knows when Shen Weizhou will completely free up his hand and formally intervene in Jiangdong affairs.

At that time, if they want to achieve their goals through the rectification of officials, the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced.

In order to properly handle Wang Dao's funeral, there are two problems in it, which make the Taifu staff very troubled.One of them is the obstruction from the Empress Dowager Yuanzhong. In fact, as early as the first time he learned of Wang Dao's death, Chu Chong had already drawn up with his officials the regulations on Wang Dao's Airong and several options. They submitted them to Yuanzhong together, but the empress dowager refused to make a statement, so she held back.

Why did the Empress Dowager feel so much resentment towards the Wang Family and Director Wang? Chu Chong and the others did not dare to think deeply about it, but they could not disregard the Empress Dowager's wishes and directly bypass Yuanzhong to deal with the matter.

Because the empress dowager was extremely displeased with the purge in the stage before, and even returned directly to the court to listen to the government, which was a kind of warning to them.If they still dared to disobey the Empress Dowager's wishes this time, Yu Yi of Liyang might be ordered to lead the crowd into the capital the next moment, breaking their control over the central situation.

Another point is that in Langya Township, it is mainly Wang Yunzhi's problem.If Zhuge Hui knew the clues of Wang Yunzhi's collusion with Yu Yi, Chu Chong and the others would naturally know it too.Although they still can't figure out what Wang Yunzhi wants to do, they definitely want to make a fuss about Director Wang's funeral, there is no doubt about it!

This is the current situation in Taiwan, internal and external difficulties!

The best solution is Wang Yunzhi's problem. Although he is a direct descendant of the Wang family, even Director Wang is dead now. Even if he has the ability to confuse the villagers, how much harm can he do?
Therefore, if Chu Chong and the others wanted to break the deadlock, they first focused on Langya.This matter is easy to solve, as long as a senior official is sent to lead the guards into Langya Township in the name of mourning, and watch Wang Yunzhi and those Langya Township people die, it will naturally nip some hidden dangers in the bud.

But military affairs are always ominous. It is morally unreasonable to lead an army into someone's house when there is a great funeral, so who to send is the key.

Chu Chong and the others chose Zhuge Hui as the first candidate. On the one hand, Zhuge Hui, as the Minister of the Book, served as a Taifu, and his status was sufficient. On the other hand, Zhuge Hui was also the leader of Langya Township. Impeccable.

However, this ushered in a new problem, Zhuge Hui was unwilling to go!
