Chapter 63 The Holy King

In the hall, there are only Wang Meng and Wang Yu and his son.

"Crown Prince, do you remember the difference between Yang Guang and Li Shimin?"

Wang Yu nodded: "My son remember!"

"Yang Guang is wise and bright, and Li Shimin is wise and dark. In comparison, although Yang Guang is wise and has a great talent, he is not cunning enough."

"Although Li Shimin is a little inferior, he is very cunning!"

Wang Meng nodded: "Cherish your kindness. This is the result of thirty years of hard work. Even if you show your power, you need to put morality first."

Wang Yu nodded heavily when he heard this. He remembered what his father told him - "Even a hypocrite, he will become a true gentleman for the rest of his life."

When Wang Meng heard this, he nodded slightly: "Then go and do it. With virtue as a sign and the power of the sage king, this is the way of the holy king!"

Looking at Wang Yu's departure, Wang Meng's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

This is a generation of kings carved by himself, a generation of kings with great skills. I don’t know how far he can bring Da Wu?

When Wang Yu was very young, Wang Meng taught him step by step to handle government affairs.

Since the 21st year since Kaitai, most of Wang Meng's daily government affairs have been secretly handed over to Wang Yu to temper him.

Only a very small number of particularly important ones were discussed with him and instilled his own ideas on future development.

Years have passed, Wang Yuzhi's skills, experience, cunning and mind are all first-class!

After thirty years of hard work, Wang Yu's kind mask also convinced the world.

For this mask, Wang Meng has taken a lot of blame for him over the years. He is just his own boy, so it is definitely worth it!

In the winter of the 27th year of Kaitai, Empress Xiaoci died of illness. Taizu was disheartened and then passed away at the prince and entered the Taoist sect to practice.

In the 28th year of Kaitai, the prince Wang Yu ascended the throne in Jinling and became emperor, and changed the reign of Wende, which entered the first year of Wende.

After hearing this year's title, all the civil officials were very happy. The gentle name of Wende was not at all domineering.

Taizu was violent and liked to use swords. These civil officials were not doing well and were under a lot of pressure.

Now that the prince has succeeded to the throne, as a famous and kind king, they can gain greater authority in the court and better display their talents.

The things that came were also carried out according to their expectations. Compared with Taizu's arbitrary decision on the court, no one could violate the matter that was decided.

The new emperor had a bit of the taste of the emperor and aristocratic officials in the Song Dynasty.

In the next two years, the new emperor later promoted culture and education, appointed talents, promoted capable officials, reformed official positions, rectified officials, and worked hard to govern. There was also the foundation that Wang Meng had laid, and there was a scene of great governance in the world for a while.

According to historical records, the new emperor Dun believed in the clear meaning, respected virtue and rewarded merits, and ruled the world!

The civil officials all praised each other, but Wang Yu just smiled faintly.

According to the information collected by his subordinates, although he did have achieved some small achievements in two years, there is no question of great governance at all. Nine points of this prosperous scene are all flattering.

The main reason is that my husband has laid too much foundation, so I also need to relax and relax the country. My husband is too harsh and I can untickle it, and I can immediately see the so-called moral governance.

But it was okay at the beginning. Virtue will deteriorate if it was too long. Most people always fear power but do not have virtue.

Under the rule of virtue, can we still hope for those officials with noble character and no slightest reach?

The kingly way is to pay equal attention to kindness and power!

After two years of moral governance, at the same time, the power in the hands of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong was also constantly expanding and his actions became more and more arbitrary. Wang Yu just smiled faintly in his eyes.

In a ancestral hall deep in the palace, Wang Meng received the news and sighed quietly: "The prince has been virtuous for thirty years, and the people in the world do not know the power of the prince!"

Hu Weiyong's autocracy has long been predicted, and this was originally a condom designed specifically for him by Wang Meng.

Four years ago, after Li Shanchang retired and returned home, Wang Meng did not choose the right prime minister again, just to deliberately cultivate a powerful minister and a single prime minister.

It’s just that Wang Meng’s power is too strong and can suppress it, which makes Hu Weiyong dare not go beyond the rules at all.

But if it were Wang Yu, a kind new king.

Hu Weiyong's little thoughts moved. He wanted more authority. After many years of unique appearance, he had long been accustomed to taking charge of life, killing and deposing matters. His confidants also pushed him towards that position...

In the fourth year of Wende, Hu Weiyong was tyrannical and his personal desires were growing. He used his position to form cliques for personal gain, accumulate money, promote trustees, murder loyal and kind, and disrupt the court.

His son rode rampantly across the market in a carriage, causing death.

When Wang Yu heard this, he was extremely shocked and angry: "It is said that the Prime Minister is here!"

At this time, Hu Weiyong's confidant Censor Shang Yue wrote a letter saying that Prime Minister was planning a rebellion.

When Wang Yu saw the letter, he was not angry at all, and even smiled at the corner of his mouth.

When he was in the Eastern Palace, there were dozens of little book boys and little messengers beside him.

According to Wang Meng's words: "These people have innocent personal experiences and will be your future team."

More than ten years have passed, these people are either in the court or in the army.

With the guidance of Wang Meng and his son, they were greatly promoted, and the power in their hands was not weak. Dozens of people wove into a big net hidden in secret, allowing Wang Yu to hang over and rule the world.

The reason why Wang Yu laughed was that one of the dozens of people was named Shang Yue.

Of course, now he is still a student of Hu Weiyong, a confidant among Hu Weiyong's confidants.

Hu Weiyong thought he was in power, but everything was just the water and moon in the mirror.

A big net of Mitian has been arranged toward Wang Meng since he started.

Thinking back to what his father said: "Crown Prince Dezu, how can he demonstrate?"

Wang Yu said, "Kill the treacherous minister!"

Wang Meng smiled slightly: "Who do you think is like a traitor?"

Wang Yu said, "Those who plot against rebellion must be the prime minister!"

When Wang Meng heard this, he immediately laughed: "I am so brave that killing the perpetrators of rebellion is enough to establish authority. Then, let's prepare for you as a father."

Later, Wang Meng summoned Li Shanchang to care about his health and talk about his hometown.

Monthly after, Li Shanchang retired and returned home. Wang Meng refused. Li Shanchang asked again, and this was the case three times, and he agreed.

He was granted the title of Right Prime Minister Li Shanchang as the Crown Prince's Tutor!

After Li Shanchang retired and returned home, Wang Meng was reluctant to establish the right prime minister on the grounds that he missed his old minister.

As a unique prime minister who is unbalanced, Wang Meng gave him room to develop towards powerful ministers.

Of course, according to Wang Yu's intention, as long as the person who plots to rebel is the prime minister.

Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong... are both OK, but Li Shanchang is too old and may die before that day.

On the contrary, Hu Weiyong had an example of being a powerful minister in history, and was a ready-made prime minister, so Wang Meng simply gave him room to play.

It’s not Wang Meng’s fault for calculating him. After all, what is the country of his own country compared to his own son?

It’s obvious that Hu Weiyong has fallen into the trap!

On July 6, the fourth year of Wende, the emperor heard that Hu Weiyong was planning a rebellion, so he issued an edict to the Ministry of Justice to investigate, and found that it was true. He punished the three clans of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong for the crime of "unintentional behavior". Then he investigated more than a thousand of his gangs for the crime of "desiring to rebel", "abuse of the law", and "injuring politics". Among them, there were many noble families.

Wang Yu said: "I thought Hu Weiyong worked a lot and gave him poisonous wine, and the other three tribes were beheaded and displayed in public."

"The other accomplices, who were the nobles who were accomplices, were removed from their titles and official positions, and were exiled for three thousand miles. The other party officials were held accountable. Those who were serious were beheaded, and those who were not serious were eliminated from their fame and fortune, and were exiled for three thousand miles."

When His Highness's minister heard this, he immediately shouted, "Your Majesty is kind!"

Of course, it is kindness and a serious crime of corruption. No matter how you investigate it, there are many people who have punished the nine clans.

If you really want to continue investigating, many of the ministers of His Highness will be implicated. After all, who can guarantee that they have nothing to do with the Prime Minister?

Some nobles who had not been implicated also looked excited when they looked at the new emperor. The nobles who committed rebellion were just to remove their titles and exiled for three thousand miles?

If Taizu were the ones, he might have just broken the car. The new emperor was really lucky to these nobles.

When civil and military ministers shouted that His Majesty was kind, no one thought that the new emperor could be bold and arrogant.

After all, they saw the new emperor's methods this time, and there was no news before the action.

With a slight move, it is to use thunder means to directly uproot Hu Weiyong and other followers and capture them all. The layout is worth pondering.

Such methods are even higher than Taizu. After all, Taizu is straightforward and has a high prestige. He is also arbitrary in court and has always been straightforward.

Kill someone with a knife!

"After this incident, I feel that the Prime Minister's power and responsibility are too heavy, and it is easy for powerful ministers to be rampant. I decided to abolish the Prime Minister's system and dismiss the left and right prime ministers. The matter is handled by six parts, and then the Grand Secretary of the Palace will be my advisor."

If it is next to you, there will definitely be a lot of people who will object, but who dares to object at this time?

Didn't you hear that it was to avoid the appearance of powerful ministers? You objected, are you a member of the powerful minister Hu Weiyong?

I will give you a hat of Hu Weiyong as a member of the party.

No one in the court opposed it. In this regard, Wang Yu abolished the prime minister system, strengthened the imperial power, and could freely control the Dawu to develop in the direction he wanted.

Deep in the palace, Wang Meng knew about it in the ancestral hall, and sighed in his heart that his boy did a good job, and then he closed his eyes and began to comprehend it.
