"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 168
This little episode on Wang Huchen's way back to the mansion was not noticeable. After all, crowds of people fighting with weapons happened from time to time, and this time he was just bumped into by Wang Huchen, an important official of the dynasty.
But no one knew that this seemingly ordinary episode was the introduction of a big storm that swept across the provinces of the Far Eastern Dynasty.
The accidental weapon fighting incident that Wang Huchen encountered made him realize that freezing three feet does not happen overnight.
Especially the fact that a dynasty that was still famous a hundred years ago has been reduced to such a low level in the face of foreign countries made him feel extremely angry and aggrieved.
The Far Eastern dynasty has accumulated evils for a long time, and relying on him, a leftist from a poor family, to resolve conflicts one by one tremblingly, cannot restore the dynasty that has gradually slipped into the abyss.
If you want the Far Eastern Dynasty to be reborn from the ashes, then only strong men cut off their wrists. Since they don¡¯t understand the complicated internal conflicts, it is better to cut the mess quickly. This may change the current situation of treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and save the precarious dynasty.
After Wang Huchen returned to his Zuoxiang Mansion, he was exhausted and did not rest, but went straight into his study.
"Prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
After Wang Huchen gave an order, the book boy who served hurriedly prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Keep the door, no one is allowed to enter without my permission."
"No."
Wang Huchen sat back at the desk, took a deep breath, and then picked up the brush and began to write.
Soon Wang Huchen wrote nearly ten thousand words of memorials, with only one purpose, that is to suggest that the emperor order to purge the court.
Wang Huchen knew that the uprisings were raging in the provinces below, and the problem in the final analysis still lay with the court.
After all, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, especially the problem of the military family is too serious. After hundreds of years of infiltration, their power has penetrated into every corner of the court.
Relying on the feats of founding the country, these military families received the favor of the royal family and obtained supreme authority.
They have reproduced from generation to generation, so that their power has become extremely large, even threatening the rule of the royal family.
At the same time, these military aristocrats used their rights to continuously seek personal gain, annex land, etc., and became a blood-sucking insect attached to the entire Far Eastern Dynasty.
?As far as Zuoxiang Wang Huchen knows, the treasury he is in charge of is now empty, but any one drawn by a military family is incomparably rich.
On the way back home just now, he was worrying about how to raise money and food to deal with the famines and bandits everywhere, when he happened to meet a son from a military family dealing with the incident of fighting with weapons.
The left prime minister, Wang Huchen, was very dissatisfied with the result of the armed struggle that a family member from the Yang family handled.
Because he severely punished his own people indiscriminately, and elevated the status of foreign merchants.
The people around were also daring to be angry and dare not speak out. It was precisely because of seeing this scene that Wang Huchen thought of what the family had done in recent years.
He realized that the whole dynasty became what it is today, not because he was not diligent, but because he had pig teammates.
? If you want the entire Far Eastern Dynasty to be reborn from the ashes, you must eradicate these blood-sucking bugs crouching on the Far Eastern Dynasty, otherwise you will treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
It was with such an epiphany that Wang Huchen, the humble prime minister of the Far Eastern Dynasty, could no longer sit still, and he decided to do something.
Wang Huchen knew that if his memorial was handed in, it would cause huge waves in the entire Far Eastern Dynasty, but facing the terminally ill Far Eastern Dynasty, he knew that he had no choice.
The military family is very powerful, and Wang Huchen knew that he was alone and might die.
But when he thought of the Far Eastern Dynasty and the thousands of Liming people who were struggling in dire straits, he resolutely decided to make a big one.
Wang Huchen quickly wrote the memorial, and then took out a thick stack of complaints from the dark drawer of his study, wrapped it in cotton cloth, and then called his confidant.
"Immediately send it to the palace and present it to His Majesty."
As Prime Minister Zuo, Wang Huchen can go directly to Heaven, which can be regarded as the emperor's favor to him.
The memorial was sent to the palace, and the imperial guards guarding the palace gate knew that it was the memorial of the left prime minister, so naturally they did not dare to stop it and let them all go.
The old emperor's health deteriorated day by day. Although it was already night, the old emperor did not go to bed.
When he learned that Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen had a memorial to hand over, the old emperor habitually sent someone to send it to the prince.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo said that this is for His Majesty, and His Majesty needs to personally read it."
"oh?"
"bring here."
Most of the old emperor's review of government affairs is now handed over to the prince, but now the prince has returned to the East Palace and is not serving by his side.
Since it was a memorial specially presented to him by Prime Minister Zuo, the old emperor finally decided to take a look, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Huchen's gourd.
Seeing the old emperor's haggard hands tremblingly opening the memorial, the servant hastily brought a few palace lanterns closer, making the surroundings much brighter.
The old emperor opened his cloudy eyes, and slowly read Wang Huchen's memorial, his complexion became darker the more he looked at it.
Especially when he looked through the complaints submitted along with the memorial, his face was already gloomy.
"Wang Aiqing finally lived up to my favor of promotion."
After reading Wang Huchen's memorial, the old emperor also felt a little bit of relief.
When he promoted Wang Huchen and other poor family members, he had only one purpose, and that was to curb the power of the family.
However, the civil official group composed of the children of the humble family lost several times in the confrontation with the military family.
And with the passage of time, under the corruption of power and money, the new dignitaries formed by these civil official groups gradually moved closer to the military and military families, which disappointed the emperor.
Only Wang Huchen, the Prime Minister of Zuo, has been trembling and alone, not being with these new dignitaries and aristocratic families, so that he has become a lone minister.
The old emperor's body was also weak, and he seemed powerless in the face of such a situation. He just hoped to maintain the status quo and let the prince handle these things in the future.
It would be fine if the entire Far Eastern dynasty was stable. The prince gradually weakened the power of the family through subtle means, and after ten or twenty years, the family could be more peaceful.
But now the situation is out of control, and the turbulent insurgents made everything change.
If we continue to weaken the aristocratic family slowly, I am afraid that the aristocratic family is not finished yet, and the entire Far Eastern Dynasty will be finished.
The old emperor also knew that the aristocratic family was a cancer on the body of the Far Eastern Dynasty, which must be removed, otherwise, the blood of the Far Eastern Dynasty would be sucked dry by them.
But now he is physically unable to do what he wants, and the civil servant group under him is also inextricably linked with the family, so he has no one to trust.
Because if the handling is not good, the civil servants and the aristocratic family will join forces, and their royal family will probably be the first to fall.
Now that Wang Huchen has proposed to purge the imperial court, and is willing to be the one who leads the charge, the old emperor is naturally pleased.
Because at the beginning, he promoted Wang Huchen, a poor boy, step by step, with the purpose of containing the aristocratic family.
It's just that Wang Huchen didn't understand the painstaking efforts of the old emperor. He just handled government affairs conscientiously, and didn't participate in the family's affairs, but he didn't offend the family either.
Now facing the crisis of the dynasty, Wang Huchen has no choice but to stand up and be the villain, because if the delay continues, the Far Eastern dynasty will perish.
