The Prodigal Son of the Empire

These officials are unrelenting, just want to see Wang Kang, the living Wang Kang!

There have been too many rumors recently, and people's hearts are turbulent. Among these ministers, there are those who really care about the court.

Because this incident has already brought about a chain reaction, which has a great impact!

After all, the founding emperor disappeared without a trace shortly after the establishment of the new dynasty, which in itself is very abnormal.

Of course, there are also those who are doing good things. They just want to make sure that His Majesty is in Shouchun, or whether he is still alive...

There was a lot of shouting here.

As for the internal affairs center, the cabinet ministers are also anxious!

After the abolition of the early dynasty, all government affairs were handled by the cabinet, that is, the three provinces system.

Zhongshu, under the door, and Shangshu each perform their duties, and Prince Wang An is in charge.

The cabinet ministers are the main officials of the three provinces, the most important of which are three people, Zhongshuling Wenzhang, Zhongshuling Guo Zude, and Shangshuling Ouyang Wen.

In addition to this, there are other auxiliary officials who constitute the cabinet, which can be said to be the real center of power.

At this moment, these people are also frowning.

As long as they are not deaf, they can hear the shouts outside, and even they can't refuse, because they haven't seen His Majesty for a long time.

"How do you say this is good?"

Guo Zude said: "Your Majesty said that it was a private visit on Weifu, but there is no news at all. How can this be solved?"

"How to deal with it?"

Ouyang Wen said calmly: "Your Majesty has already explained that the prince will be in charge. What explanation do you need to give them?"

This counselor who had been with Wang Kang for a long time was finally reused and appointed as Shang Shu Ling!

Shangshu Province is the main executive body, leading the six ministries, which is quite a power.

"Master Wen, what do you think?"

Guo Zude said: "It is not a problem for the crown prince to be in charge, but after all, it is difficult to really preside over the overall situation. Recently, there has been cholera in the local area, and the border guards have begun to build troops and build villages. The war is about to break out..."

"This is not a problem."

Wen Zhang said in a deep voice: "The main reason is that some people think that His Majesty is not in Shouchun, so they have moved their minds?"

"Look at those memorials. Mu Yuanshan actually submitted the memorial, proposing to restore the privileges of the nobility. What kind of behavior is this? Blatantly provoking Qin Lv?"

hear this.

Guo Zude looked unnatural.

"Master Guo, I am a minister in the same hall. I would like to advise you that you should know who your majesty is. No matter what other people are, I hope you will not participate in it!"

Wen Zhang looked at him coldly.

In the early days of the establishment of the new dynasty, Guo Zude made great contributions as a veteran of the former court and recommended many officials.

This also formed a huge faction in the court!

The leader of this faction is Guo Zude.

There is also a faction, which is Wang Kang's old department. These people are old people who have followed Wang Kang for a long time, or they are from Xinfeng City. For example, Ouyang Wen belongs to this faction.

There is also a faction headed by Wen Zhang. These officials have a common characteristic, they are of ordinary background and talented, and it is important to be promoted after the establishment of the new dynasty.

These three factions can't tell who is strong and who is weak, only that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Since there are factions, naturally there will be struggles.

And as the governors of the three provinces, they are the chief figures of each faction. Although they are ministers in the same palace, they are also secretly competing with each other...

"Master Wen, what do you mean by that?"

Guo Zude said in a cold voice: "If you have anything to say, you have to say it clearly, don't be weird!"

"Okay, then I'll make it clear."

Wen Zhang said directly: "The most yelling people outside are all officials you have recommended. I don't believe that you can't control them, but you are still indulgent. Isn't this testing His Majesty's whereabouts?"

"Bullshit!"

Guo Zude shouted and cursed directly.

These words are not nonsense, what are you going to do to test His Majesty's whereabouts?

This is brazen.

"Am I talking nonsense, you know it in your heart!"

Wen Zhang said: "Most of the people outside are your people, you go and solve it, or wait for His Majesty to blame you, and you will think about the consequences yourself."

Guo Zude's complexion changed slightly.

What Wen Zhang said is exaggerated, but it is not all nonsense.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, various policies were implemented, most of which were aimed at the nobles, and mainly left over from the previous dynasty.

Although Wang Kang killed a lot, he couldn't kill them all. Some nobles had a lot of resources in their hands, which were very useful for restoring the economy.

The children of nobles have received good education and training, and these people are also needed.

But because of various policy targets, the nobles are living in a difficult and miserable life!

And Guo Zude also wanted to win some benefits. As for other bold ideas, he didn't have them, and he didn't dare to have them...

But soon he realized that he seemed to have fallen into Wen Zhang's language trap.

"My people are all from the imperial court and from His Majesty."

"All right!"

The two quarreled, and Ouyang Wen couldn't stand it anymore.

He said: "It's better for the three of us to come forward and send them all back to stabilize people's hearts."

"No one can bear His Majesty's blame."

"I agree."
