Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Chapter 27 Wang Su
Wang Su, whose clothes were wet with sweat, kept his mouth shut. At this moment, he didn't look like the sycophant in everyone's mouth. Suddenly, he was standing opposite the emperor.

Wang Su once ridiculed those pedantic loyal and straight ministers who "talked about being honest and loyal to the country, but it's just that I don't have enough money for my lord."

But now he seems to be living like a direct minister he once despised, standing against the emperor who holds the highest authority beyond his control.

Wang Su raised the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to smile, but the smile didn't stay on his face after all, and disappeared in a hurry.

"After all, I am also a person who has read Confucius and Mencius..." Wang Su, who was lying on the ground, gave his own answer.

"Then I'm a tyrant? A fool!" The old emperor walked towards Wang Su step by step, as if asking him or himself.

Wang Su smiled wryly, he already knew in his heart that he had no way out.

This 'Emperor' has already gone crazy. Inside his body is a lunatic who has lost his mind. Now he does not allow his reputation to be damaged in the slightest.

Wang Su has seen many courtiers who have been neglected by His Majesty, and he thinks that he is well-rounded and will not be as pedantic as them.

But... the emperor meant that he didn't want to marry Princess Anle.Because the reputation of Princess Anle has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and her condition is like a fantasy, the emperor can't agree, and can't afford it.

It's nothing, but the old emperor didn't want to bear the notoriety of reneging on his promises, and he didn't want to be charged with 'selling a girl for peace'.

What else can I do...

The most despised one, the most unwilling one, is...

The emperor's eldest daughter, Princess Anning!

This is also the reason why Wang Su is unwilling or unwilling to say.

Wang Su raised his head and slowly looked at the resplendent and solemn Chongguang Hall.

Seven years ago, he took part in the palace examination here, listening to the guards in the palace pass on the people, and the people in the palace shouted: "Yijia No. 1, Nanling Wang Su, Zhuo is the number one scholar, and I will be awarded the Jinshi and the first..."

At that time, he was a high-spirited champion man. He listened to Shao Le, and sincerely knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to the king in the hall.

A year later, he won the emperor's sacred heart, won three ranks in a row, became the head of the Huguang Qingli Department of the sixth-rank household department, and cleared local miscellaneous taxes for the emperor.

At that time, the emperor treated him favorably.He is the head of the local officials of the sixth grade, and he has the right to play secrets.

In just four years, Wang Su thought that the administration of officials would be clear, and that there would be no exorbitant taxes in the local area.Even the faint and corrupt officials and Wang Su also led to the dismissal of dozens of people through their own methods.Even the imperial court praised him for his outstanding achievements, and those who couldn't see him clearly recognized that Wang Su was a capable man who could manage officials.

In the fifth year of becoming an official, Wang Su returned to Beijing and transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the censor of Zuoqian Capital.

In the seventh year of his official career, the emperor promoted him to be the right servant of the household department against all opinions.

With such an official career, Wang Su couldn't help but be grateful to the old emperor for his appreciation and help, and he also voluntarily became the eagle dog of the old emperor's court.

Can……

After all, the emperor forgot that he, Wang Su, was born in a poor family, and studied hard for decades in a poor window, studying the teachings of Confucius and Mencius.

It reads that the sage said: "If his body is upright, he will follow his orders; if his body is not upright, he will not obey his orders"

What I read is Mencius's words: "Do nothing for what you don't want to do, and do what you don't want to do."

What I read is the saying in the population of the former dynasty: "A brave man knows righteousness, and a wise man must cherish benevolence."

What I read is the teaching of the first emperor: "The country is upright and the heart is in order, and the people's hearts cannot be deceived."

Wang Su is first of all a scholar, a scholar who has read the books of sages and sages, and secondly, he is a courtier and emperor's courtier.

Seeing Wang Su's unrepentant appearance, the emperor snorted coldly, feeling bored.

In his eyes, there are many self-righteous people in this world. They think they are noble and benevolent, but they are just hypocrisy.

Just like Wang Su, the old emperor thought he valued him very much. Otherwise, Wang Su was only 30 years old, how could he be the servant of the upper household department?

This is his appreciation, his cultivation.

But now?When it's his turn to do some dirty work and take some scapegoats, he cherishes his feathers so much and doesn't want to share my worries at all.

"Wang Su, Wang Su, I treat you well..."

"Your Majesty... I'm afraid, I've failed His Majesty's love." Wang Su choked up, his throat was a little hoarse, and tears were streaming down his face, blurred.

"Come here, the servant of the household department offended Shengwei, and he was punished with a staff of one hundred. He is suspected of taking bribes and leaving his post without authorization. He is now in Dali Temple for inspection and detention." The old emperor pronounced the sentence coldly.

"Chen... Thank you, Your Majesty." When the guards in the palace pulled Wang Su from the ground, he had no strength left, and he staggered and almost fell to his knees again.

Sitting on the dragon chair, the old emperor frowned slightly as he watched the guards take away Wang Su who was dressed in green. Then he felt even more upset when he thought of Wang Su's offense.

"Hmph... Do you think you can escape with such words?" The old emperor obviously didn't want to end this matter. After pondering for a while, he waved to the prince.

Eunuch An, who was waiting at the rear, quickly walked a few steps, waiting for the old emperor's order.

The old emperor pondered slightly: "The commander of the Beijing camp, Xie Mingtang, and the commander of the imperial army, Li Yanchen, lead troops to seal the An Ning princess's mansion, and the son-in-law Ji Tingfan drives him out. The princess's mansion is strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to approach without an imperial decree."

The old emperor couldn't help but wanted to make a move, and then he said: "Wang Su, the Minister of the Household Department, flattered the holy will, and made an evil plan to break up Princess Anning and marry Princess Anning to Qingyi.

After dissuading me, I still did not change my words, and ordered Dali Temple to execute immediately—the death penalty. "

Eunuch An was terrified and trembling just listening to it.

"Let me tell all the ministers again that the dragon is in a bad condition, and Wang Su contradicted me, and I have already fainted..."

"Your Majesty," Eunuch An said frightenedly.

"What are you panicking about?
Tell Elder Wang Ge again, I really don't want to give up peace and happiness, and I will give full power to Elder Wang Ge to handle the matter of marriage. "

After all, the old emperor closed his eyes, but he was already unsheathed like a sharp knife on the dragon chair, full of evil spirits, no one dared to look directly at him.

"Old slave obeys." Eunuch An quickly walked out of the gate of the palace, and wiped his sweat vainly.

The might of the dragon is mighty, the holy will is unpredictable...

Eunuch An's heart tightened, the news of Wang Shilang's death is not far away... How long will the old servant survive by His Majesty's side?
