Shuntianfu.

There is a large sign placed under the stone lion outside the Yamen. The content on it is quite strange: "Beijing Epidemic Prevention and Control Center."

"Back to work again." Wang Xiao stood in front of the sign and stretched.

Every time he saw these modern words, he felt that the bad taste in his heart was satisfied, and the boring work at work was relieved a little.

In fact, what he does most every day recently is sit in this yamen and arrange things.

The big policy is nothing more than a few items. When it comes to manpower, division of labor, and unexpected situations that often occur, it is quite cumbersome and boring.

"Now everything else is progressing smoothly, but... the people are still unwilling to burn the corpses." Xia Yan, the prefect, said: "It is said that there are people working together to strongly oppose this matter."

Wang Xiao nodded and said, "I will arrange this."

As he said that, he picked up King Qi's seal and stamped it.

Xia Yan took it with both hands, and after all the tasks were assigned, he smiled and said, "Is the prince also tired? Can we take a rest? I have some good tea."

"No need."

Xia Yan then smiled again and said: "Xiaoguan heard that many people in the court are asking for the title of marquis for the prince-in-law, so the prince congratulated the prince-in-law in advance."

Wang Xiao waved his hand, knowing that the other party wanted to join him.

He actually had a good impression of Xia Yan.

As soon as Xia Yan heard that King Qi was punished to kneel, he arrested Wang Jue... It sounded quite annoying, but Wang Xiao could see the reason.

First of all, Wang Jue is Wang Xiao's cousin, but he is not a key figure. Taking a maid as his wife is not a serious crime. The choice of the candidate and the charge are both appropriate. Xia Yan can draw a clear line between Wang Xiao and Wang Xiao without offending him too much.

he.

Secondly, Xia Yan did not ask people to stop cleaning the ditches, just to leave a line in their lives so that they could meet each other easily in the future.

All in all, this guy is a bit of a loser, but his level is still above the average level of a regular official. Wang Xiao has been using him quite smoothly these days.

Most officials in the world are still like this.

Wang smiled and said calmly: "Master Xia, you can do your work peacefully and don't think too much."

Xia Yan then knew that the matter with Wang Yan was over, and he slowly retreated.

Wang Xiao then started writing down the next plan.

After a while, Zhou Yan walked in.

"Your Highness, do you want to see me?" Wang Xiao stood up and bowed, somewhat perfunctorily.

Zhou Yan said: "How do you know?"

"His Highness came in just after Xia Yan left. He must have been waiting for a while."

Zhou Yan nodded, seeming hesitant about how to speak.

Wang Xiao sat down again and continued to write his things. He said casually: "Mr. Song has been here?"

Zhou Yan was surprised: "Who told you?"

"I guessed it." Wang smiled and said, "I also guessed that Mr. Song said something bad about me."

"It's not...a bad word."

Wang Xiao nodded and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Song must have said that when the prince rebelled, I had the opportunity to help His Highness ascend the throne, but I did not do it..."

Zhou Yan's expression changed and he whispered: "Don't say this nonsense."

"Mr. Song dares to say it, and I dare to say it too. Your Highness might as well say it bluntly, yes or no?"

Zhou Yan pouted, but finally said: "After all, my father is young and not in good spirits. It is also a good idea to let him take care of himself in the palace..."

Before he came, the content of the conversation he imagined was completely different. Now he just felt that Wang Xiao was holding the rhythm and he was completely unable to dominate the conversation. After a few words, he actually said the truth.

"Your Highness is already a candidate for the throne, why are you still worried about the long nights and dreams?"

Zhou Yan didn't respond to him, his face was straight, and he said a little bit angrily and aggrievedly: "You are Gu's brother-in-law, you should be facing Gu."

Wang Xiao did not raise his head and replied: "Yes, I can indeed help His Highness ascend the throne that night, and I am 80% sure of it."

Zhou Yan was stunned. He didn't expect Wang Xiao to admit it so directly.

"Your Highness is not an impatient person. How did Mr. Song persuade His Highness?" Wang Xiao asked in return.

Zhou Yan took a deep breath and sighed: "My father has really not done well over the years. Now that the country is in dire straits, we must have an enterprising king and virtuous ministers who can assist the government and take drastic measures..."

The king smiled and said: "So, Your Highness is a Mingjun, Zuo Jinglun, and brother Song Xin is a famous minister. If Your Highness succeeds to the throne, will the crisis in the Chu Dynasty be alleviated?"

"It's natural to work hard to cure loneliness..."

"Don't you, my father, work hard to govern?" Wang Xiao finally put down his pen, stood up, looked at Zhou Yan, and said: "You always say that he is stupid and mediocre, and you always think that the world will be better if he changes to another king. It is true that my father may not be wise, but

He has been on the throne for seventeen years, at least during

Now, he is still the most professional emperor in the world. Many decisions may seem stupid to laymen, but they are the best solutions he can make in the situation. And the results of things are jointly promoted by countless external forces. In this world

, it cannot be solved by changing someone to the top."

"Oh, every one of them is either pretentious or greedy for power... Why? Why is everyone's eyes always fixed on the high position, and why are they never willing to lower their heads to take a look?!"

Wang smiled and said, suddenly becoming a little angry, and said: "Emperors, generals... power... From the day I saw the court, everyone is chasing power, only chasing power! Please persuade Your Highness to take the throne, persuade me to go

You want to be the Marquis. But why don’t you think about what you should do after you gain power?”

Zhou Yan was stunned.

Wang Xiao suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the door and said: "Let me tell you the truth, Your Highness, I have already taken control of the troops and horses in the capital, in order to control traffic, to stabilize food prices in the future, and to guard against Jurchens

...But, if His Highness wishes, I can help His Highness succeed to the throne now."

"Are you...are you crazy?"

"I'm serious." The king said with a smile: "If you, Your Highness, you can regard yourself as a king now. Come and work hard, Your Highness can directly exercise the power of the emperor. Just give me orders, and I will do it." Thoughts Chinese website ╭ァんττρs:

.sしz.Θмんττρs:м.sしz.Θмヤ

Hearing these treacherous words, Zhou Yan was so shocked that he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He took a step back and murmured: "You..."

Wang Xiao's eyes were burning and he asked again: "How can Your Highness work hard to cure the disease?"

"It's natural to equalize the land and train elite soldiers."

"Equalizing the land, that's good." Wang smiled and said, "Now that Bian Xiuyong has led the ministers to remonstrate with them, how does His Highness plan to respond?"

Zhou Yan murmured: "This..."

"Do you want me to knock them down? Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed." Wang smiled and said: "But if this happens, the world's scholars will denounce Your Highness. Okay, let's ignore it for now. Who will be responsible for the equalization of the land? Is it Zuo Jinglun?

?”

"Of course it's Mr. Zuo..."

"Okay, where will His Highness place Lu as the Chief Assistant? What should he do with the Ministry of Household Affairs in his hands? The Kundang Party is Donglin Orthodox, and the voices of scholars in the world are opposing His Highness. What should we do? Lu Chengye is Lu

Has your Highness ever thought about whether there are changes in the political alliance between the chief minister and the Liaodong war situation?" Remember "Thoughts Chinese Network →" on your mobile phone to provide you with exciting reading.

Wang smiled and said: "We still need to train elite soldiers, right? Where will the food and money come from? Oh, let's copy the nobles. I am familiar with this job."

"But your Highness, please don't forget that we have ascended the throne due to palace changes and have not yet established a stable footing. If we dare to raid one house again, will the vassal kings from all over the country rebel? What do Sun Baigu and Qin Chengye of Liaodong think? How will Zheng Yuanhua react when he brings the emperor's grandson to Nanjing? Your Highness's reaction

How will the two brothers react when one fiefdom is in Shandong and the other is in Jiangxi? Will Tang Zhongyuan become more popular as a result?"

"The worst-case scenario is that the whole world will turn against His Highness. Overnight, everyone will rebel against their relatives."

"Also, how does His Highness plan to solve the memorial that is now on the father's desk? Liaodong is still short of two million in food and salary; Xuanfu Datong is short of soldiers; there is information that the Jurchens may invade this winter; the five northern provinces

There are snowstorms all over the place; the Juyongguan Great Wall is dilapidated and needs to be rebuilt; Japanese pirates have landed in Laizhou..."

"These are just questions that I will think of for a moment. But if Your Highness has really done something, you should know that there will be all kinds of accidents and problems when doing it. Your Highness wants to be the crown prince, and wants to be the king, but

Are you prepared to face these problems?"

Zhou Yan looked pale and wanted to speak but didn't know how.

"It is easy to seize the throne, but the defense of the capital is really empty. Whether Zheng Yuanhua wanted to help the prince or the emperor's grandson ascend the throne, he could do it that night, but he did not do it because he understood that it was more difficult to maintain a business than to start a business at this time."

Wang laughed and said: "It is easy to gain power, but it is difficult to use power to do things. What is even more difficult is that during this process, can we remember what we really want to do?"

"Do you want personal glory for a lifetime? Or can you remember that in the beginning, you just wanted to do something for the suffering people?"

When Wang Xiao said this, he stroked his forehead, sighed tiredly, and said slowly: "Your Highness, I am very tired after fighting those old foxes for so long. Let's not focus on that position yet.

Forget about the princes, generals and ministers for the time being. Just do a good job in preventing the epidemic and stabilizing food prices... okay?"

Zhou Yan was silent for a long time, and finally responded in a low voice.

"good."

But he was thinking in his heart: This brother-in-law of mine is so annoying that he loves to reason.

I don’t know what he wants to do with so much military power...
