Chapter 158: compensate?
Chapter 158 Compensation?
Looking at Mo Fan's slowly dissipating body, the empress woke up from the dream.
She muttered to herself: "Is it really a dream?"
Inexplicably, there was a strange sense of trust in this guy who never showed respect to her. That being the case, according to what he said, there is no worse result anyway.
...
The Queen's will was soon stamped with a seal, and went to the prime minister's mansion to read it out.
The upper and middle doors of Wang Xiangfu opened to welcome the imperial decree.
Wang Hua led everyone in the house to kneel down on the ground, listened to the imperial decree respectfully, and took it with both hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"
"Congratulations to Wang Xiangguo, then our family will return to the palace and return to life." The inner **** said respectfully in a voice.
Different from ordinary emperors and close ministers who can show off their power, in front of this Wang Xiangguo, no one in Tianxuan is allowed to be presumptuous, even His Majesty, he has to give him three points of respect.
Wang Hua hurriedly stepped forward to stop, and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch, why did Your Majesty suddenly bestow such kindness on you?"
Being keen, he immediately felt something strange. Xiangguo Xiangguo is already the pinnacle of being a minister.
Wang Hua is rich in learning and rich in five chariots. In the past dynasties of the Tianhan Continent, most of those who were able to rise to the position of Prime Minister did not end well.
Or soon after, they will be investigated and prosecuted for the crime of rebellion, and the nine clans will be punished. Or posthumously.
The best thing is that the current emperor is so favored that the next generation of heirs has nothing to reward, and the new emperor will return to his hometown on his own initiative when he ascends the throne, and he can leave a good death.
Otherwise, that is death without a burial place.
However, His Majesty is in the prime of his life today, without marriage, let alone heirs, so there is no talk of a new emperor ascending the throne.
Emperor Wu's cultivation base, it will be no problem to sit in the world for hundreds of years.
If it's His Majesty's favor, that's fine, but Wang Hua feels a little strange in his heart. At this very moment, what is the purpose of such a grand favor?
The white-faced, beardless, and gloomy father-in-law showed a piercing smile: "Wang Xiangguo, His Majesty is arbitrary today, how can the slaves guess His Majesty's mind?"
Wang Hua nodded. It's really hard to guess what the empress is thinking. Now that the world is invincible, what she says is what she says. How can there be any reason?
The people in these palaces are not clear, and it is understandable.
"Then... How is Your Majesty feeling recently?" Wang Hua asked again.
"This..." The father-in-law looked a little embarrassed.
Wang Hua looked a little displeased when he saw this: "Can't even the old man say it?"
The father-in-law pondered for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood recently. In recent days, he occasionally takes a nap. Others, I don't know about it."
Wang Hua hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks after hearing the words: "Thank you, father-in-law, Your Majesty is in a good mood, and our courtiers are also happy."
"Yes! Wang Xiang is loyal and courageous, and the slaves admire him! If Xiangguo has no other orders, the slaves will return to the palace and return to life."
"Eunuch, walk slowly."
After the angel left that day, all the people at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion cheered joyfully, and bowed down to Wang Hua one after another: "Greetings to Xiangguo! Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Profound Sky! The mighty Xiangguo!"
In Tianxuan, ordinary people generally do not need to bow down when they meet officials, unless they meet the emperor.
Before, Wang Hua was the prime minister, and when everyone saw him, they only had to bow and salute instead of bowing down.
Now Wang Hua has been promoted to Xiangguo, above the prince, and today's Xuan is only below the empress. The common people knelt down to congratulate him in order to show their respect.
Wang Hua smiled and thanked, while apologizing: "Sorry everyone, the mansion is poor, and there is nothing to entertain. The property bestowed by His Majesty will be given to you."
Hearing what Wang Hua said, everyone cheered even louder. That's ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand bolts of silk and satin!
Wang Hua really lived up to his reputation as a virtuous minister, and he gave it to the people without blinking an eyelid.
For a while, Wang Hua's reputation in Tianxuan reached its peak.
Combined with the long-prepared Guozijian to add fuel to the flames, everyone in Tianxuan now speaks of Wang Hua's sage's capital, Tianxuan's pillar, the pillar of the country, the parents of the people, and so on.
After a long time, things were evacuated, and the gate of Xiangfu was closed again.
Turning his back, Wang Hua's smiling face instantly darkened.
Hua Ge and Zheng Tao secretly investigated his files. He already knew that through the Zhuangyuan Street assassination case, Wang Hua regained the initiative again.
But Hua Ge and the others dared to investigate him, there must be the empress's instruction.
So what is the meaning of this award?
Knocking? Deterrence? Or... Compensation?
According to the information revealed by the angel just now, His Majesty seems to be in a good mood recently.
Practitioners generally do not need to sleep, and use their cultivation to develop their performance. It is true that not sleeping for hundreds of years is common, and sleeping is often used to relax.
When the father-in-law revealed just now that His Majesty has slept several times in recent days, he must be in a bad mood.
If Huage and the others find out something, Wang Hua, the prime minister of a country, is a spy, how can the empress be in a good mood? It would be nice not to come directly to Xiangfu and kill him, how can I sleep in the mood?
Therefore, on the contrary, it is very likely that it was a series of schemes of their own that cleared their own information, and Huage Zhengtao and the others failed to find out any useful information.
The empress finally felt relieved, she had always trusted her, and the prime minister who took care of the country for her was not a spy, so she was in a good mood.
So, this Xiangguo's reward is the empress's compensation?
The more he thought about it, the more Wang Hua felt that this was possible.
Anyone who is in a high position has great confidence in himself, especially a top person like Wang Hua who is in the enemy camp and is extremely smart, he is even more conceited in himself.
Be super confident about your guesses and feelings.
Thinking of this, his expression softened, and he walked towards the inner hall with his hands behind his back.
When his son Wang Yong saw this, he also came forward to congratulate him: "Congratulations to my father for being promoted to Prime Minister!"
Wang Hua's face was flat, and he said softly: "How many Xiangguo have you seen die well?"
Wang Yong's face froze when he heard the words. He is also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, so he naturally knows the fate of the past dynasties.
Hearing what my father said, I was shocked: "Father, could it be..."
Could it be that the Empress is going to attack our family?
Wang Hua shook his head when he saw his flustered appearance, and said nothing. This child of himself is worthy of his name.
Wang Yong said anxiously: "Father... my royal family has been loyal and good for generations, how can your majesty be like this!"
Wang Hua sighed: "Who said His Majesty is going to move us."
"That's..." Wang Yong immediately showed surprise when he heard this.
"It's nothing, this is not something you should worry about. No matter when and where in the future, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and don't be arrogant because of this imperial decree," Wang Hua did not answer him.
For the sake of insurance, none of his descendants knew his true identity, not even his wife.
Ignoring his son, he walked back to the study on his own.
