I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 205 The Son of Heaven's Reinforcement Departs in Changyi Kingdom (Subscribe)

When the family banquet between Liu He and Huo's family ended, the atmosphere of autumn finally spread in the Han Empire.

Changyi Kingdom, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, also cooled off.

Inside the Wang residence, Wang Shi was sitting in the middle of the study, and the old servant Mo, who was driven back to his hometown a few months ago, came back from the countryside.

At this moment, he was still quietly guarding outside the study as usual.

Although Wang Shi was in the study, there was no book on the case, but two letters.

One was received half a month ago, and the person who wrote the letter was a former student of Wang Shi, the former king of Changyi Kingdom, and now the emperor in Chang'an.

The content of the letter is very simple, let Wang Shi go to Chang'an immediately, and have a round with the emperor.

Although the letter said to ask Wang Shi and a group of officials to accompany him to study, he didn't write a word about the rest of the matter.

But Wang Shi saw a lot from it.

The emperor had initially established a foothold in Chang'an, and gained Huo Guang's trust, so he was able to transfer more people to his side.

However, on the other hand, it also shows that the emperor lacks trustworthy cronies, otherwise he would not be eager to transfer all the Lang officials of Changyi Kingdom to Chang'an.

Even the old man himself was not spared.

Originally, Wang Shi didn't want to go to Chang'an.

After all, he is already a dying person, and I am afraid that he will not be able to help if he goes there, not to mention Liu Bingji's heart disease.

Not long after receiving the first letter, news of Emperor Xiaowu's temple title spread to Changyi Kingdom, which surprised and delighted Wang Shi.

The joy is that the emperor has courage and found an excellent breakthrough point; the surprise is that he knows that some Confucian scholars will inevitably retaliate.

While Wang Shi was waiting to see what the Son of Heaven would do, a second letter arrived...

This letter came from Wang Shi's student Xue Guangde, and the letter clearly explained the turmoil in Chang'an.

Although it seems that the appalling incident did not cause more serious consequences, Wang Shi decided to go to Chang'an.

As Confucian students, Wang Shi knew too well the temper of Confucian students, so he had to go to Chang'an to help a group of emperors.

The matter of Confucian scholars must be resolved with the methods of Confucian scholars.

The solution thought up by an ignorant person like Huo Guang can only solve a temporary problem, but not a lifetime problem.

……

After Wang Shi made a decision, he put the two letters on the oil lamp and burned them clean before opening the door of the study.

Lao Mo standing outside the door saw Wang Shi coming out, and quickly stuffed a half-eaten pancake into his bosom, and smiled honestly.

For people like Mo, as long as they can have a mouthful of pancakes, they are already very happy, and naturally they don't have Wang's troubles.

In front of Mo, Wang Shi communicated with gestures that only they could understand.

"When you were young, you accompanied me to Chang'an several times, do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember, Chang'an is the busiest, and there is also the busiest cockfighting house."

"Then come with me again?"

"promise."

Mo Mo agreed simply, without any hesitation, so much so that Wang Shi couldn't bear it.

"Going to Chang'an this time is very dangerous, and I may not be able to return."

"It doesn't matter, my family will be taken care of in the house."

Wang Shi smiled wryly, and then said: "Maybe everyone in this house will be in danger."

Mo was taken aback for a moment, but then he still smiled honestly and replied, "Then you won't be alone when you go on the road."

If you go on the road, you will naturally be a dead end.

Wang Shi laughed, a little unbearably, patted Mo on the shoulder, and walked out of the yard.

Two quarters of an hour later, Wang Shi arrived outside Changyi Palace in a carriage.

When the King of Changyi left, he took away many people from the palace, so in the past few months, the Changyi Palace has seemed quite deserted.

But today, it was very lively—maybe it was the last time.

There were people coming and going at the door, all of them were craftsmen and servants, and those Lang officials were directing everyone to load things on the carriage.

The mighty carriages stretched out tens of feet, and there were as many as twenty or thirty carriages.

Including those who followed on foot, the entire team probably numbered as many as 600 people.

It seems that the Son of Heaven wants to take all the wealth he saved in Changyi to Chang'an.

Because people were coming and going, Wang Shi's arrival did not immediately attract the attention of others. The handymen and servants who came and went almost knocked down Wang Shi several times.

"Hey, old man, it's a mess here, you have to be careful!" The one who spoke was Meng Ban, who was recruited to the workshop by Liu He a few months ago.

At the moment, he is directing his three sons to load some carpentry tools into a carriage.

All these eating things were given to him by King Changyi a few months ago.In addition, there are many patterns of farm tools, which have also been carefully studied by Meng Ban.

People are in high spirits on happy occasions, and Meng Ban and his family are naturally so happy.

"How many people from Changyi Palace are going to Chang'an?" Wang Shi asked.

"There are about seven to eight hundred people. In short, everyone has to go, and no one will stay."

Wang Shi was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there were more people than he thought.

He looked at the end of the queue in the distance, and the Changyi orphans he taught were also busy stacking their luggage on the car.

"Then what time do you leave?"

"I don't know about this. I have to ask Mr. Dai, old man, please stand aside, we are busy, so don't run into you."

Meng Ban obviously didn't recognize Wang Shi, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to speak like this to an envoy who ranks as high as a thousand stones.

"Okay, okay!" Wang Shi was not angry, he squeezed into the flow of people on his own, and walked towards Changyi Palace.

Not long after, Wang Shi found Dai Zong outside Fuyao Hall.

"Wang Fu, why are you here?" Dai Zong was very busy, but when he saw Wang Shi, he hurried over to greet him.

"When are you leaving?"

"I will leave tomorrow." Dai Zong replied respectfully.

"Then old man, let's go together."

"Huh? Wang Fu is willing to go to Chang'an?" Dai Zong asked in surprise. A few days ago, Wang Fu was still unwilling to go.

"The old man has changed his mind and wants to go to Chang'an too. Why, is there no place for the old man in this convoy?"

"No, no, as long as Wang Fu is willing to go, there will be a place at any time!"

"Okay, then it's settled."

"only!"

"The old man is wandering around in this palace, go and do your business!"

"only!"

Wang Shi turned around in Changyi Palace with his hands behind his back.

Most of the palaces have been evacuated, and some places are overgrown with weeds, showing signs of rampant rabbits and mice.

It is estimated that Changyi Palace will be completely abandoned in a short time.

At least 20 years later, when the emperor has multiple sons and grows up, a new king may be ushered in here.

Wang Shi couldn't help but think of the scenes of the emperor in this palace, this young emperor can gain a firm foothold in Chang'an so quickly, it's really unbelievable.

And Wang Shi was also thinking, what can he do to help the emperor?
Play against Huo Guang in the court?Advising the emperor behind the scenes... I am afraid that I am too old and frail to do it myself.

After thinking about it, Wang Shi knew that he could only help the emperor appease those Confucian scholars.

At this time, Wang Shi came to a side courtyard and saw several servants throwing some bamboo slips into bamboo baskets. According to what they said, they meant to burn them.

"Stop it, it's all written bamboo slips, how can you burn them carelessly, it's just crazy!" Wang Shi walked over angrily and stopped them.

Seeing that Wang Shi was coming, several servants quickly saluted.

"Where do these bamboo slips come from?" Wang Shi casually picked up a volume and asked.

"These are all copied by His Majesty in the past few years. His Majesty mentioned it in the letter to Mr. Dai, and asked Mr. Dai to burn it." The servant said carefully.

Wang Shi opened the volume in his hand, and it turned out to be "Shangshu", covered with dust, and it took a long time to write it.

I didn't expect His Majesty to be quite studious in recent years.

If I get along with His Majesty in a different way, I can see through His Majesty's heart earlier, maybe I can teach His Majesty some real talents.

Just relying on copying books will not be successful.

Glancing at the bamboo slips, Wang Shi couldn't help laughing, and finally understood why the emperor ordered people to burn these bamboo slips.

The characters on it are crooked, uneven horizontally, and vertically uneven, worse than that of a child who has just started.

It seems that the emperor doesn't want people to see his ugly character, right?

What a scumbag!
However, the smile on Wang Shi's face did not last long.

The more he looked down, the more strange he felt, the big characters on the bamboo slips were clearly "Shang Shu", but the small characters between the big characters were notes that Wang Shi had never seen before.

After reading it carefully, the commentary is not quite the same as the commentary of several great Confucianists currently in use, and it is vaguely higher than that.

Wang Shi didn't dare to neglect, and immediately walked into the dusty utility room.
