Chapter 1003
Lord Wang knelt down in front of Cen Yuan, hugged his legs and cried violently.
His little emperor really understood the grievances of this life. His little emperor did not die, he grew up.
Is there anything more tear-jerking than this?
He did not cry when he knelt before Emperor Long and endured humiliation; he did not cry when he knelt before Emperor Yong and surrendered; he did not cry when he was accused of selling out his master for fame and fortune by the old ministers of the previous dynasty; he did not cry when he ran around for the people to investigate whether the officials really implemented tax reductions and exemptions; he did not cry when the incomprehensible people threw rotten vegetable leaves at him and called him a "dog official".
At this moment, he cried.
He is also a human being and he also feels wronged.
But he couldn't cry for all these years. Once he cried, he lost the energy to cry. He could only silently endure the bitterness and drink it down with wine.
Without energy and spirit, how can he move forward against the wind? How can he walk alone?
This road is lonely, long, and full of thorns. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces.
He lived as a lonely man and became an old man who was disliked by everyone.
Cen Yuan personally helped Lord Wang up and said in a deep voice, "The choices made by Grand Tutor and Lord Wang are correct. Grand Tutor chose to travel the mountains and rivers away from the court, experience the suffering of the people, and then return to the court to punish corrupt officials and do practical things for the people. It is not wrong."
He paused and continued, "Lord Wang, you endured humiliation and protected loyal ministers and generals in your own way, which is naturally not wrong."
Without Lord Wang's insistence on reasoning, those measures that benefit the people would have been abolished long ago. What's wrong with that?
It is wrong for officials to be loyal to the people and care about the people of the world.
How many old officials of the old dynasty despised Lord Wang, scolded him for being obsessed with fame and wealth, called him a running dog of Emperor Yong, and even suspected that the replacement of the old dynasty by the new one might have been his doing.
In fact, what Lord Wang didn't know was that after Cen Yuan was reborn, he had already returned to Liang State and personally rescued his son and granddaughter, and also quietly settled the Wang family.
Cen Yuan also asked people to tell those who had been rescued what Lord Wang had done in other ways.
In this life, we cannot let Lord Wang die in obscurity.
It was already past three o'clock.
Several people sighed. They were the emperor and his subjects yesterday, and they are also old friends today.
Then the problem is coming.
The young emperor has now married into Beiyi's family and become a royal consort. What is his position? Why did he show up tonight?
Oh my god! Are they going to return to China as accomplices to force the emperor to abdicate?
The two old ministers were different from others. They reminisced about the past, were excited and grateful, but they were not willing to change the dynasty easily.
As for the reason, it is naturally because although Liang State cannot be considered prosperous nowadays, it is much better than the miserable life of the people during the reign of Emperor Long.
At the very least, the current Emperor Yong is tolerant of others. He treats all the old ministers of the previous dynasty equally as long as they are willing to submit, and does not exclude dissidents.
He also listened to the advice of ministers such as Lord Wu and Lord Wang, issued decrees that were beneficial to the people, worked to reduce taxes, and encouraged the people to be self-sufficient and live a good life.
In general, Emperor Yong was considered a good emperor in the eyes of the people.
In fact, this is also the real reason why Cen Yuan did not gather forces to rush to regain the throne for his original body after traveling through time.
He gave up Liang State and stayed in Beiyi, staying with Shi Anxia, not because of Shi Anxia that he gave up Liang State.
At this time in Liang State, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the power in the court was balanced, and the country was relatively clean and there were no treacherous officials in power.
Why would he stir up a bloody storm and provoke a war to force the emperor to abdicate?
