Wei Wuhou

Chapter 797 After the Three Edicts

On April 23, the sixth year of Wei Hou, Wei Hou issued three edicts.

In the first edict, Wei Hou appointed Wan Shenyan as the prefect of Song County.

Wan Shenyan did not receive the most support at the court meeting, but became the sheriff of Song County, which puzzled the courtiers, although they also understood that Cao Jun and Cao Jun were not enough to be the sheriff.

In the second edict, Wei Wuji appointed Cao Jun as the magistrate of Jiuyuan County, Yanshan County.

This was even more unexpected by the courtiers. Song Xiang was originally the choice of the county guard, but why was he sent to the extreme north and became a small county magistrate.

The meaning of the monarch's punishment is particularly obvious in this edict. The monarch is dissatisfied with Cao Jun.

Immediately following the third edict, Wei Wuji severely reprimanded the court officials.It is dereliction of duty for them to support Song Xiang as the sheriff by saying that they have a vegetarian meal in the corpse.

Then for this reason, Wei Wuji fined all the courtiers at the court meeting that day with one month's salary, and the one person who stood up to support Cao Jun before was fined with one year's salary.

After three edicts, the courtiers felt that something was wrong.

Those in the know accepted it frankly, while the bosses waited for the king to punish them.

However, Wei Wuji did not have other special punishments for the three lords and nine ministers who might be involved in this matter, and he was only fined one month's salary.

This made many people uncomfortable. Did the monarch find out about himself, or did he not?

In fact, even the Wang family who directly provoked this matter, Wei Wuji did not deal with them severely, and this made the Wang family feel even more uneasy.

Indeed, Wei Wuji had already decided the death penalty for the Wang family in his heart, but he wanted to kill him slowly.

When the courtiers were shocked by the three edicts issued by the monarch, the Cao family, or Cao Jun, was the most difficult to accept.

At first, Cao Jun thought he could be a sheriff, but even though he found out later that he would get into trouble, he never thought that he would be dispatched to the extreme north.

Not only Cao Jun was very unwilling, but the old man Cao Yun couldn't figure it out either!

When Cao Jun heard the news, he rushed out from the ancestral hall at home, and Cao Yun was so angry that he almost lost his anger.

Things are bad enough now, if Cao Jun goes out and causes trouble again, will the Cao family still have to live?So Cao Yun sent out servants, telling them to find Cao Jun back.

Cao Yun knew his grandson very well. Although he was in his early twenties, he would still get hotheaded and do stupid things, just like the trouble he got into this time.

Half an hour later, the servants sent news that Cao Jun had entered the palace, and Cao Yun went limp.

He really couldn't figure out that his grandson would be so confused. Was he going to the palace to question the monarch at this time?
Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, and a courtier should just bear it silently, this is the duty of a courtier.

At this time, Cao Yun could only wait at home. He could not enter the palace like Cao Jun, nor could he contact the courtiers to speak for himself, which would only make things worse.

…………

In Wei Palace, Cao Jun begged to see his sister as before, but he dared not go to Wei Wuji, so he could only beg his sister to speak for him.

But Cao Xin didn't want to see her brother. Although she was in the deep palace, Cao Xin didn't know the news of the previous dynasty. Seeing Cao Jun at this time would only make things worse.

Cao Xin understands her husband's character very well, and it is difficult to change what has been decided, so she can't help her brother.

So, under Cao Xin's instruction, Cao Jun was "invited" out of Wei Palace by the guards.Although he was dissatisfied with his sister's attitude, Cao Jun didn't dare to be presumptuous in the palace, so he could only go back obediently.

But Cao Jun still finds it difficult to accept that he will be sent to Yanshan to be a small county magistrate. Did he really make a big mistake?
In fact, although Cao Jun received the most severe punishment on the surface, but thinking about it from another angle, this is not a test and experience for him.

The harsher the punishment, it means that the previous things are past the past. As long as he has made achievements in Yanshan, there is no chance to return to the core.

But if he still doesn't live up to expectations, then he can only stay in Yanshan for the rest of his life!

Few people can understand these truths, including Cao Xin, who is also full of worries at this time.

Is the husband's arrangement aimed at the Cao family or himself?This is what Cao Xin is most concerned about.

But just caring makes chaos, she always thinks in a bad direction to prevent problems before they happen.

Although Cao Xin did not meet Cao Jun, Wei Wuji in the Yongming Palace had already received the news that Cao Jun had entered the palace.

This made him very angry, not only with Cao Jun, but also with Cao Xin.

It was not clearly stated in this era that the harem should not interfere in politics, so Wei Wuji felt that he had to do something.

So he asked someone to find Zheng Dali, Zheng Dali is now in charge of the palace guards, and he should be responsible for isolating the harem.

Soon Zheng Dali rushed over, after he saluted Wei Wuji, he heard Wei Wuji call: "Dali..."

"Chen is here!"

Wei Wuji said in a deep voice: "From now on, without the widow's order, foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the inner court. Those who violate it...will be sent to the court!"

Although I don't quite understand the monarch's order, but the inner court is the monarch's private back house, of course Wei Wuji has the final say.

So Zheng Dali replied: "The minister takes orders!"

In fact, Wei Wuji's order was not aimed at Cao Xin, but to clean up the entire harem.

It's not just Cao Xin who has a family. Beauty Zhang and Beauty Zhao also have family support behind them. Wei Wuji doesn't want to see them closely connected with his mother's family.

After Zheng Dali left, Wei Wuji had no intention of governing today, so accompanied by Yu Zhong, he took a walk in the palace.

When Wei Wuji stopped outside a palace gate and looked up into the palace gate, he couldn't help but smile.

He walked casually like this, and then came to Ji Wanyue's place, so he walked towards the palace gate.

When the monarch arrived, the servants and maids in Ji Wanyue Palace were all in a hurry, not disturbing the cleanliness of the place.

Wei Wuji didn't like this feeling, so he waved away the maidservants and walked into the palace alone.

Ji Wanyue, who heard the sound, just arrived at the entrance of the main hall, and bumped into Wei Wuji, both of them were caught off guard.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is rude, please punish me!" Ji Wanyue hurriedly bowed down, even though she was once a princess of the Zhou family, now she is just a little girl in Weihou Palace.

Wei Wuji laughed, and then helped Ji Wanyue up and said, "It's impolite to enter without notification. Is there any fault for my concubine!"

Ji Wanyue smiled, then welcomed Wei Wuji into the hall, and said at the same time: "How dare I blame the king for my concubine!"

After such a small episode, Wei Wuji's depression dissipated a lot, and a smile appeared on his face.

After the two sat down, Wei Wuji looked around the hall and asked, "Why can't you see Tianyun? It's time to come back from the upper study!"

Ji Wanyue smiled helplessly, and then said: "Since Yun'er went to study in the study last year, the later she came back, the later she came back, and sometimes she didn't come back at noon!"

Wei Wuji couldn't help being stunned, and then said: "How hard is he working so hard?"

To be honest, Wei Wuji really couldn't believe how hard he would work for a child who was only five years old.

Ji Wanyue shook her head, and then said: "It would be great if you really work hard, this kid was just slapped in the palm of the master yesterday, obviously he was making trouble in class!"

If Ji Wanyue said that Wei Tianyun worked hard, Wei Wuji would not believe it, and then sent someone to investigate.

But Ji Wanyue's answer is the truth, and it makes Wei Wuji really let go of his guard.

He really didn't want to lose the last person who could speak.
