Invincible at the beginning: I seek the world in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 80, the dust settles

After hearing Jiang Wangsheng's words, Emperor Chu frowned, held his breath, and observed the expression of the young eunuch at the same time.

Judging from Xiaojiu's shocked and compromised appearance, this young man does have the ability to control the fate of the country.

Chu Huang clenched his fists, squinted his eyes, his heart was full of murderous intentions against this martial artist, but he was powerless.

The majestic emperor, but that fledgling warrior has nothing to do.

"Oh." An old voice came.

Chu Huang was stunned, and looked up to the front.

An old man came from behind Jiang Wangsheng, wearing a Confucian crown on his head, holding a feather fan, and starry eyes. He entered the Taihe Hall without looking at the princes.

He walked all the way to His Royal Highness Chu Huang, raised his head, and looked at Chu Huang.

All the anger, sadness, and grievances of Emperor Chu can be summed up in one sentence: "Father Xiang!"

Chu Huang's voice was crying, he was complaining, like a child who was bullied outside looking for support from his parents.

Chen Bangzhou said sincerely: "Your Majesty, please punish yourself."

"Okay!" Chu Huang agreed, and his frowning brows relaxed.

The next day, before lunch, the imperial court posted notices all over the inside and outside of the imperial city. In Tianwang City, there was a small one for three steps, and a big one for five steps.

All are the imperial edicts of the Chu emperor.

Today, the three teachings and nine streams in Tianwang City were extremely shocked.

It actually came true!
Countless people left their family businesses and flocked to stare at the bulletin board.

"Is it the emperor's edict of guilt?" Most of the common people, including those who didn't see behind them, asked loudly.

"Yes, it's an edict of guilt!" A literate person in front of him widened his eyes, his face flushed red, and he spit out a few words after reading it.

"Nian Nian, Nian Nian!" The people were like a tsunami of flames, and their shouts could overwhelm mountains and seas.

"The above is the edict, deeply expressing the regrets of the past. I know that people are not good, which causes the northern border to be in a hurry, and I am more beneficial to the people to help the border. It is the poor, the old, the weak and lonely, and they are addicted to power and selfishness. , I am deeply regretful. Fortunately, the current work of the gentlemen is to prohibit harshness and violence, stop arrogance, focus on farming, and revise horse restoration orders to fill in the gaps."

There are more than a few hundred characters in the Edict of Guilt. The person who read the characters was excited and frustrated. After reading it sonorously and forcefully, he was still not relieved and read it several times.

Ordinary people are confused and only understand one or two tenths of it, but there are a few old scholars among them who are so excited that they burst into tears.

"Master Jiang, Mr. Jiang really did it?" Everyone still felt incredible.

"That's great! I, Mr. Jiang in Xichu, are truly blessed by the heavens!"

The voices of scolding and cursing were resounding in the private schools of various academies.The students scolded people differently, it can be said that they were citing classics, with a variety of tricks, without using a single dirty word.

"From now on, Jiang Wangsheng must be the hero in the hearts of the people of Western Chu!"

"The name goes down in history, and in the future, you can quote Mr. Jiang's deeds and famous quotes!"

"Hey, after the old ministers left, the princes of the court had their backs broken under the minions of this stupid king. It's a pity. Now there is still Jiang Shaoxia, what will we do in the future?"

Wulin even attracted earthquakes.

Jiang Wangsheng can be said to be a rare person in ancient times. He broke into the palace alone and forced the Emperor Chu to issue an imperial edict.

The news swept across the world like a strong wind.

After hearing this, Jiang Kongliu, who was far in the south, immediately petrified. He was relieved when he heard that the emperor of Chu had not pursued it and the old prime minister had returned to the court.

Jiang Mansion, study room.

Jiang Wangsheng sat in Jiang Kongliu's usual seat, flipping through the Southern Tang dossier he had brought back from the prime minister's mansion.

"Sheng'er, the old prime minister has really returned to court?" Xue Minglan was extremely excited.

The story of Jiang Wangsheng eradicating traitors for the country and forcing the emperor to punish himself has spread throughout Tianwang City.

Now, Jiangfu's popularity far exceeds that of the royal family, so she is complimented by everyone, congratulating her on having a pair of unicorns.

Jiang Wangsheng nodded, "The old prime minister has already started to deal with government affairs, and the arrogance of the cabinet has also been suppressed."

"What about Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty claims that he is ill and will not go to court for the time being. All matters will be handled by the old prime minister."

Xue Minglan breathed a sigh of relief, "You must be careful, His Majesty is very likely to make things difficult for you secretly and attack you."

"Auntie, I'm fine." Jiang Wangsheng smiled lightly, then noticed the scroll in Xue Minglan's hand, and asked, "Auntie, what is this?"

"Oh, these are the words I wrote." Xue Minglan was a little embarrassed.

"Auntie still has such a talent?" Jiang Wangsheng was stunned for a moment, stood up, and asked, "Auntie, can I watch?"

"You can watch it if you want. I wanted Wan Qiu to help me see if there is any problem." Xue Minglan chuckled.

Jiang Wangsheng opened the scroll, his eyes lit up, "Auntie's painting skills are so superb."

"I learned it when I was young." After Xue Minglan finished speaking, her face changed slightly, and she quickly covered it up.

Jiang Wangsheng looked at the sentence on the scroll: "I pray day and night to send my son off, and ask Chen Gu to protect me."

He was stunned for a moment, then sneaked a glance at Xue Minglan, his complexion was indeed much better than when he first saw her, aside from his infuriating energy, the daily medicinal diet was very effective in conditioning.

Jiang Wangsheng reached out for the Southern Tang dossier on the table again, and found the genealogy of the characters.

Xue Minglan hurriedly reached out and almost grabbed the scroll, and smiled, "Sheng'er, since you are busy, I won't bother you. I just happened to be discussing with that girl Xiyue."

"okay."

Jiang Kongliu joined hands with the Ministry of Industry to stabilize the disaster situation in the south, then hurried north and returned to Tianwang City.

Jiang Kongliu pushed open the door, stared at the young man sitting on the seat, and snorted, "Hero Jiang is so majestic."

"Father, why did you come back so soon?" Jiang Wangsheng stood up happily and greeted Jiang Kongliu.

Jiang Kongliu sat on his seat, "If I come back a little later, I'm afraid the Western Chu throne will change hands. Sheng'er, you are so confused!"

"I, I colluded with them in advance." Jiang Wangsheng pouted.

"Don't meet you? Is he a reliable person?"

Jiang Wangsheng said to himself: "This time it's quite reliable. Although he behaves in a despicable and sinister manner, he really puts the people and the country in his heart."

"Yes, I didn't expect that. From now on, in Your Majesty's heart, Bie Fengjun will be from our side." Jiang Kongliu poured a cup of tea and pushed it towards Jiang Wangsheng.

"Good job this time!"

Jiang Wangsheng grinned and drank the tea in one gulp.

"The dark circles under your eyes are so heavy, haven't you had a good rest recently?" Jiang Kongliu frowned.

Jiang Kongliu flipped through the files on the table, "Are you looking up things about Nantang?"

"After the matter was completed, the old prime minister and I discussed it. The current plan is to form an alliance with the Southern Tang Dynasty. The two parties will join forces and combine land and water to catch Beili by surprise."

Jiang Kongliu looked at the deployment map and said with emotion: "The old prime minister is far-sighted. Your Majesty agrees?"

"He can only agree now."

Jiang Wangsheng said: "It is said that the old prime minister wants to go to Southern Tang in person to discuss the alliance."

Jiang Kongliu pointed to the catalog on the dossier, and introduced: "The Southern Tang Dynasty has many soldiers and generals, the land is vast and rich, and the national power must not be underestimated. Nowadays, the court is roughly divided into two factions. The empress faction and the veteran ministers faction."

"The Southern Tang Dynasty respected Taoism and Confucianism. Although Heming Mountain, the holy place of Taoism, does not care about world affairs, it has a faint tendency to be close to the empress's line. As for Confucianism, there are also two schools, the Confucian School and the Academy School."

"The Confucian faction supported the lineage of the old ministers, denounced women as emperors, demanded self-denial and restoration of rites, and wanted the female emperor to return to power in the Southern Tang royal family. The Academy school supported the female emperor, claiming that the monarch should pay attention to virtue and ability, and should not be constrained by gender."

"As far as Jianghu is concerned, there are at least two innate masters in the Southern Tang Dynasty. One is a former disciple of Heming Mountain—the Taoist Rider, and the other is the Heavenly Witch. Sheng'er, you should know this better than me."

Jiang Wangsheng rubbed his head, "If you want to make an alliance, the feud between Southern Tang and Western Chu is unavoidable. Veterans stick to the rules, so they may not agree."

"So, as long as the empress faction has the upper hand in the court, the chances of our alliance will be greatly increased." Jiang Kongliu continued.

Jiang Wangsheng asked: "Father, besides the old prime minister, who else will go on this trip?"

"Huang Mengjue."

Jiang Kongliu glanced at him, "It's just a matter of time, you two can get in touch with each other through this trip to Nantang." Then, he said earnestly, "The engagement has not yet been annulled."

"Don't say this, don't say this."

Jiang Wangsheng leaned on the table, looked at his father, and asked, "Can you let my aunt go with us this time?"
