Invincible son

Kyoto, the imperial city.

In the imperial study room, most of the ministers dressed in purple were present, except for Mo Haoli, the left governor of the Eastern Mansion.

The court situation was chaotic, like looking at flowers in a fog. It is not surprising that there are ups and downs for a while, but Emperor Kaiping's trust and respect for Mo Haoli has long exceeded the normal range.Logically speaking, given Mo Haoli's age and physical condition, Emperor Kaiping was already worthy of the veteran of the four dynasties after keeping more than a dozen of his resignation papers.

Furthermore, Mo Haoli was one of the three princes during his lifetime, and most likely he will be given the posthumous posthumous title of Wenzheng after his death.

However, Emperor Kaiping wanted to retain his official position, and his attitude was extremely tough, and the officials had no choice but to praise the Holy Son of Heaven.

After all, Luo Ting, who is in power, and Han Gongduan, who is participating in politics, have not expressed different opinions, and other people have no right to comment on this matter.

Compared with Mo Haoli, who had made up his mind to go but was left in the capital by Emperor Kaiping, another veteran of the three dynasties seemed to be in love with power. Judging from the situation, it seems that it can sit for many more years.

The era of these veterans will eventually come to an end, the difference lies in the manner in which they withdraw from the core of power in Daliang.

But Wang Pingzhang didn't seem to be aware of this problem. Apart from handing over most of the military affairs of the West Mansion to Gu Liang, he still diligently and persistently attended every court meeting.

Recently, even Huang Rentai, the doctor of imperial history, also submitted a request for begging for bones, and Emperor Kaiping naturally also stayed, but the reward for the chief official of Xiantai was not as generous as Mo Haoli.

In contrast, Wang Pingzhang's silence is a bit eye-catching.

Everyone knew that after Zhongshan Marquis Pei Yue put down the barbarian rebellion, the imperial court would truly enter a state of blood exchange, marked by the establishment of the crown prince, the handover of the Eastern Mansion's ruling power, and the adjustment of the military structure.

With the finalization of the peace talks in the southern border, Daliang can finally prepare for the national war according to the established steps. Both the civil official group and the martial arts relatives will usher in a rare opportunity to climb up in more than ten years.When someone takes the position, the old people will inevitably need to give up their positions. Mo Haoli and Huang Rentai are obviously aware of this, so they have expressed their attitudes early on.

Wang Pingzhang did not do that, so memorials to impeach him have been appearing recently.

Surprisingly, most of these impeachment memorials have something to say, and they are by no means chasing rumors as some censors used to do in the past.

The content of the impeachment included Wang Pingzhang receiving money to promote generals, Wang's children running rampant in the capital, Wei Guogong's housekeepers and servants oppressing Liang Shan, and even several cases of brothel kabuki who were tortured to death by Wang's partial house brothers also surfaced.

There are many, many, and many others.

For a Shifeng Duke who had served in the army for more than 15 years and held power in the army for [-] years, the degree of troublesomeness of these charges depended on the attitude of the emperor.

It was extremely quiet in the imperial study room, and all the important ministers looked at their noses and noses and their hearts.

Emperor Kaiping flipped through the thick memorial in front of him. Even though he had read it before, he still looked at it unhurriedly at this moment. His attitude made the officials unpredictable. They didn't know whether he was going to put it down gently or make a big fuss.

Wang Pingzhang looked as usual, but his face showed a bit of oldness after all.

After a long time, Emperor Kaiping put down the last memorial and said slowly, "It's a bunch of nonsense."

Luo Ting frowned slightly, and immediately said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I feel that no matter whether those memorials are true or not, since there are so many testimonies, we must investigate clearly before Wei Guogong can be cleared."

Emperor Kaiping smiled and said: "Luo Qing, you have been an official for so many years, how can you not even see these tricks clearly? Let me ask you, which noble mansion can't find out the charges of impeachment in these memorials?"

Everyone was a little uncomfortable with His Majesty's sudden change of style, and had never heard such blunt remarks from him before.

Luo Ting shook his head and said: "I don't dare to refute the Holy Majesty, but as far as I know, there should be a noble mansion in the capital that can be so innocent."

Emperor Kaiping asked earnestly, "Which family is it?"

Luo Ting met his gaze, and calmly replied: "Zhongshan Hou's Mansion."

Emperor Kaiping was speechless.

He seemed unwilling to continue this topic, so he turned to look at Wang Pingzhang and said, "Wei Guogong."

"The minister is here."

"I won't hand over these matters to a supervisor. You can handle them yourself these few days. If there are such unfilial children and cunning slaves in your family, just tie them up and send them to the capital for Su Ping to deal with according to the law."

"The old minister thanked His Majesty for his grace!"

Wang Pingzhang showed a little excitement, and paid homage at the same time.

Emperor Kaiping signaled Liu Bao to help him up, and then said gently: "How can the world be as clear as it should be? A martial artist like Pei Yue is a different kind. If he didn't have the skill of gold, he would not be able to do so. Believe in your integrity and character, so don't worry about it."

Wang Pingzhang said with emotion: "Your Majesty, the old minister is really ashamed. He has failed His Majesty's expectations and trust, so that there are so many people who break the law and discipline at home. The old minister dare not argue for himself today. For the sake of meager hard work, the old minister is allowed to resign and return to his hometown to spend the rest of his life."

You can almost hear the drop of a needle in the imperial study.

Seeing that Emperor Kaiping was silent, Wang Pingzhang said again: "The old minister is deeply favored by His Majesty. From the time when he was the commander of the first battalion to today, he has enjoyed all the glory and wealth. He dare not be greedy for power and position anymore. I implore His Majesty for your permission."

Emperor Kaiping glanced at Gu Liang who was standing next to Wang Pingzhang with a calm face, and said slowly: "Duke Wei is the main city of the country, how can he leave lightly? Without you sitting in the West Mansion, my heart is really uneasy."

Wang Pingzhang said sincerely: "Gu's army is much better than the old minister. In addition, if a great talent like Xiangcheng Hou Xiaojin can be promoted to the West Mansion as a help, the army's strength will be improved to a higher level. Your Majesty, the old minister still has one thing in his heart." Little wish."

Emperor Kaiping nodded and said, "Say it."

Wang Pingzhang said: "This year's Yanping meeting is scheduled to start on May 29, and the old minister hopes to witness the prosperity of Liang's army for the last time."

He paused slightly, and said emotionally: "Your Majesty, the old minister started as a small pawn in the Beijing camp and stayed in the Beijing camp for 19 years. Every time I think about it, I always miss those years. Now that the old minister is in his sixties, he resigns." After thinking about it, I will never be able to return to the capital again, and I hope His Majesty will forgive this little selfishness of the old minister."

Emperor Kaiping sighed: "Yes, I will accompany you to see the demeanor of the various battalions of the Beijing Army."

Wang Pingzhang said gratefully: "The old minister bows to the Holy Grace!"

Seeing that he was about to kneel down again, Emperor Kaiping signaled with his eyes, and Liu Bao hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

From the beginning to the end, except for Luo Ting who expressed his attitude at the very beginning, none of them spoke.

In fact, many people are in a trance at the moment. Could it be that the biggest army leader in this dynasty after Pei Yuan quit the court so easily?How could the transfer of power in the military be so smooth?
At this moment, Sheng Duanming, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I have this performance."

Emperor Kaiping said: "Speak."

Sheng Duanming's resounding voice echoed in the imperial study: "Your Majesty, please appoint a crown prince to secure the foundation of the country!"
