Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 638 Wang Wu comes to visit (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

After listening to Xiao Fu's words, the two brothers understood the stakes, and suddenly felt a heartfelt sense of awe for Xianyang City.But the yearning for Xianyang City has not diminished at all.

A person's life is a process of climbing a mountain. After climbing a mountain, you just feel that you have achieved something. After drinking a little wine, you look up and see that there is a higher mountain waiting for you to climb.Some people will turn a blind eye to this higher mountain and stay stuck in their ways.And some people will slow down their strength and continue climbing to higher mountains with all their strength.

Xianyang City is this higher mountain.

The two were convinced by their mother to go find their father as soon as possible.Although the two young men were wearing civilian clothes, there was a natural nobility between their eyebrows.

The land of Jingchu is full of dense bamboos. The two of them walked through the corridor, holding their sleeves full of the fragrance of bamboo.But when they came to the front hall of the county government, they saw a group of strangers, all of whom looked capable of fighting.The people on the left and right first called them sons, and then they were stopped.

The two brothers saw that the front hall was surrounded by soldiers, and the faint smell of wine wafted out of the front hall.

Let the father hold a banquet in the front hall. In this case, only officials with higher status can come.The front hall is used for official business.His father had always been a cool man, never communicated with the bureaucrats, and would never entertain his colleagues in private in the backyard.It can be seen that today's situation is indeed special, which makes their father have to change his principles.

When the two brothers asked who the visitor was, the clerk replied:

"It's the prince Wang Wu."

At this question, both of them fell into silence.The two brothers already knew where Wang Wu was coming this time.But at this time, regarding Wang Wu's initiative to come, both brothers felt that the comer was evil.

This former censor who was deposed did not live a lonely and miserable life when he came to the land of Jingchu. Instead, he was in high spirits and his whole face glowed, but it was not because of obesity.

Wang Wu was born tall and tall. He had been a nobleman for more than 30 years. As soon as he arrived, his majesty was already felt before he became angry.

As soon as he came in, he sat in the upper seat. In the huge county mansion, from top to bottom, no one dared to raise their head to look at him.

When he came to Jingchu, Wang Wu felt the beauty of power.In the past, life in Xianyang City was too oppressive, but this place of Jingchu was better. Looking at Jingchu, no one dared to make him feel unhappy.

Wang Wu was sitting on the recliner, leaning slightly towards Xiao He, which made Xiao He feel uncomfortable all over.

The other officials were sitting down, some tried their best to please, while others sat and watched the development of the situation.

Xiao He looked serious, sitting there like an ice sculpture.

Wang Wu was naturally a little unhappy. He was willing to give him a chance, but he was so resistant.Wang Wu naturally felt that Xiao He was a little drunk and was given a fine drink instead of toasting.

Wang Wu shook the wine in the wine cup and asked with a kind expression:
"Have you, County Xiao, heard about the major events that happened in Xianyang City recently?"

"I just heard from the post envoy that Marquis Yongwu defeated the Xiongnu and returned in triumph, while Donghu also retreated thousands of miles from behind the Great Wall."

Wang Wu stroked his beard and asked again:
"But before that, a major event happened, which shocked the kings of the world, and even shocked the governors and county officials everywhere, so that this year's tribute was paid half a year earlier than in previous years."

Xiao He responded:

"There is indeed such a thing, but I am the governor of the county. Since I am not in Xianyang City, it is better not to interfere. As long as Xiao He can manage Chen County well, he will repay His Majesty."

"Your Majesty!"

After Wang Wu heard this, he sighed sadly.

Wang Wu knew very well that he would not be able to return to Xianyang City for another three to five years.

As a brother-in-law who was demoted to Jingchu by his second generation, Wang Wu was well aware of the heavy burdens on his shoulders.Sit in Jingchu and appease the local people.In the process, we must also win over local powerful people.

Wang Wu has a mission, so he is very busy every day, busy meeting all kinds of 'celebrities' and entertaining all kinds of powerful and powerful gentlemen.

Of course, it’s the second generation’s money spent.

But he really couldn't let go of Xianyang City.If he can't return to Xianyang City, then let those who can go back, give him a favor, let him remember his kindness, and take care of the Wang family and the queen and prince.

Looking at Jingchu, there is only one Xiao He who can do this.

"I haven't seen His Majesty for several months. But even though I'm far away from the customs, I can still feel the pressure and responsibility on His Majesty."

Xiao He couldn't help but think of himself. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen His Majesty for two years.When he first came to Huaiyin County, His Majesty was still the Crown Prince, and now he has become the Emperor. It was a pity that he did not see His Majesty's enthronement ceremony.

The same emotion can resonate between two people.

Sure enough, when Wang Wu mentioned this, Xiao He fell into deep thought for a while.

When Wang Wu saw that the time had come, he ordered:
"Can you please step back first? I have something to say with Xiaojun."

When everyone left, there were only two people left in the room.

Wang Wu then asked Xiao He.

"I know that His Majesty has always been thinking of you. After eight years, he actually went to such a remote place to see you in person."

"Xiao He deserves it."

"I just want to ask you, is it more important to assist His Majesty today, or to protect yourself?"

"Why did you ask this?"

"Wang Wu is vulgar. He doesn't read much. If he has something to say, he just says it. You, a scholar, don't deny it."

"Xiao He is all ears."

"I heard that you have not allowed your son to go out these days. Instead, you have kept him at home and copied books. It seems that you are dissatisfied with my actions."

Xiao He naturally wanted to defend himself, but was interrupted by Wang Wu.

"Wait a minute, let me tell you first. Your Majesty moved [-] Xianyang people to Western Chu. The only person who dares to do such a thing is your Majesty. This move is not out of reluctance, but because His Majesty has no choice but to do so. You You know, my late father was the prime minister of the former First Emperor. I have been used to seeing overt and covert fights between the government and the government since I was a child. They fought back and forth, all for the sake of profit."

"You were in Xianyang City in the past, so you have seen something. It is not easy for Your Majesty to be where he is today. The current stable situation in the world is only achieved by His Majesty's hard work. But there are too many hidden dangers in the world, like... Weeds in the field are just like weeds, except they grow, and once they grow they have to be removed.”

"I have heard about your character a long time ago. People like you are originally rare talents, but in Xianyang City and Xianyang Palace back then, you were indeed too inconspicuous. But this does not affect your performance today at all. His Majesty’s position in mind.”

"Now more than ten years have passed, and I saw you again, in Chen County. How could I have imagined at that time that I would be where I am today, and you would be where you are today too?"
