Chapter 142 The Blind, Deaf, and Fool
Wang Ming sat on the dragon throne and practiced martial arts.
The table in front of him was piled with memorials.
But Wang Ming didn't read any of them and had no interest in even flipping through them.
At first, Wang Ming was slightly interested.
After all, it’s the first time he’s an emperor, so it’s not surprising to feel a little curious and fresh.
but,
After flipping through a few books, I completely lost interest.
Yang Guang was completely sidelined.
Or,
The people below completely fooled Yang Guang as if he were a fool.
What the hell is written in the memorial?
Wagang Li Mi only has 50,000 troops under his command. Do you believe it?
Li Mi's army in Wagangzhai had at least 200,000 men.
Du Fuwei used to hide in Changbai, Shandong, but now his army has reached Liyang; Li Mi used to have only Wagang, but now he plans to take Xingyang first and then Luokou; Li Zitong used to be nothing, but now he has gathered his people in the north of Jiangdu and is ready to march south at any time...
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was blind and deaf at that time, and was misled by these news and became a fool.
It was all done by the ministers surrounded by him.
If local officials reported a rebellion, this group of ministers around them would never report it to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.
The rebels were too powerful to be concealed, so they frantically reduced the number of rebel troops and their military territories.
When Emperor Yang of Sui heard that the rebel king's army was small in number, he naturally sent a small number of official troops to quell the rebellion.
When the government troops arrived there, they were naturally surprised!
What a surprise!
I was so surprised that I hung up!
Or just jump to the opposite side and join the rebel army.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty continued to send troops to suppress the rebellion.
This is not a judgement at all, this is simply serving food.
It was Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty who was afraid that these rebels would not develop well, so he airdropped the big gift package over to them!
These rebels are getting stronger the more they send.
In fact, we cannot blame these ministers entirely; Yang Guang himself is also responsible.
Why was Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty regarded as a tyrant by later generations?
Because this guy is really cruel!
If you are happy, you can kill someone to liven up the mood. If you are unhappy, you can kill someone to vent your anger.
How could these ministers and officials not be afraid?
He was really afraid that Yang Guang would hear bad news and kill himself.
If you tell a lie and get exposed, you will die, and die on the spot.
What would you choose? Isn’t it obvious that it’s not good?
then,
They cut back in various ways, picking out the information Yang Guang liked to hear and not reporting the information he didn't like to hear, keeping it secret.
When it explodes completely, then let it explode!
It's death anyway.
Maybe you can surrender and survive.
So what’s the point of reading these memorials?
Is there anything to see? Is it necessary to see it?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
After a while
Empress Xiao of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty arrived.
Empress Xiao said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Wang Ming, who was sitting on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, opened his cloudy eyes, exhaled, and ended his exercise.
His eyes shifted to Empress Xiao who was standing gracefully at the foot of the high platform.
Wang Ming nodded and said calmly: "You're here? Just in time."
Wang Ming turned to the eunuch beside him and said, "Eunuch Deng, go and bring a table to the queen and give her these memorials."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present expressed confusion, but no one dared to ask any questions.
In front of Yang Guang, this curious person couldn't survive, but they didn't want to die.
Empress Xiao was also confused and bewildered. Before she came, she thought that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty had summoned her to sleep with him, so she deliberately put on makeup and changed her clothes.
But what was happening at this moment left her confused.
Half an hour later,
The eunuch came over carrying a table and a cushion.
Wang Ming smiled and said loudly: "Empress, please review these memorials for me... er! Please review them for me!"
Wang Ming has not yet gotten used to the way Emperor Yang of Sui speaks.
Fortunately,
Yang Guang was an emperor and a tyrant.
Wang Ming didn't want to talk, and no one else had the courage to come over and talk to him.
"what?"
Empress Xiao was startled, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but scream.
After coming to my senses after a brief moment of surprise, I felt extremely frightened and uneasy.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me! I really have no intention of interfering with the imperial power." Empress Xiao immediately knelt down in panic and begged for mercy.
Empress Xiao was originally a princess of the Later Liang Dynasty, and what she feared most was being accused of having an eye on the throne.
In fact, she has always been keeping a low profile and doesn't dare to be high-profile.
A princess of a fallen country is like a phoenix with its feathers plucked, worse than a chicken.
After a brief moment of shock, Wang Ming came to his senses and immediately said to Empress Xiao below: "Don't worry about correcting it. I know you don't have this idea."
Empress Xiao naturally would not believe it so easily, so she tried to shirk responsibility.
Empress Xiao said with embarrassment: "But I don't know how to do this! How can a woman like me understand such a national affair?"
Wang Ming glanced at Empress Xiao, then said calmly: "You can change it as you please! There are not many places in the world that can control these things. Please approve it as you like!"
You can't send out these memorials at all. Asking Empress Xiao to review them is just a way to paralyze Yu Wenzhi.
Make them think that the emperor is even more absurd and foolish.
It took at most one day to reach Siming Mountain, but once we got there we were surrounded.
If he breaks the siege, he will be killed by Yu Wenzhi.
It can be said that this memorial has no meaning at all, and whatever Empress Xiao wrote on it is all useless decree.
With the repair of his skills, Wang Ming estimated that his strength would be restored in a day or two.
When my strength is restored, I won't have to live such a miserable life.
Empress Xiao was still unwilling to revise the memorial.
Empress Xiao was naturally not stupid. Not only was she not stupid, she was also very smart.
Otherwise, he would not be able to move freely among the six emperors and protect himself.
How can this memorial be touched?
That is not power, that is a death warrant.
If I need to revise it myself, the families of other concubines will come out and demand my death.
The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, are you kidding?
If there is just one wrong decree in these memorials, he will be doomed.
If you dismiss your memorial, the impeachments will come to you like a rainstorm.
These memorials are nothing more than the ginseng of the four major clans.
Yang Guang was such a fool that he let women review his memorials.
Does that mean the concubines from the four major families in Yang Guang's harem can also take it?
Doesn’t this mean that one’s own family controls the country?
So, if you need to correct it yourself, you are doomed.
Wang Ming didn't have the time to waste with her. He was racing against time to recover his strength.
then,
Wang Ming said coldly with a sullen face: "Either you review these memorials, or the executioners outside will chop you down."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
Empress Xiao could only helplessly pick up the memorial and read it, correcting it carefully, not daring to relax at all for fear that there would be any mistakes.
There weren't any big mistakes after all. Maybe at most she would lose her position as queen but still be able to save her life.
