Chapter 79 Old Fox
Wu Sansi read out the empress dowager's edict and looked at Emperor Yang Yao with a provocative look. He was summoned by Yang Yao a few days ago to Tangchi Palace to set up a story. Today, he finally found an opportunity to make a fuss and also showed Yang Yao's words in public, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Sansi held up the empress dowager's edict and said loudly, "I am here to comfort you on behalf of the empress dowager. If you are loyal to the empress dowager and are willing to accept the empress dowager's reward, come and thank you!"
Wu Sansi's seat was at the gate of the imperial camp, facing the emperor from afar. He ordered the officials of Chang'an City to go to the door to thank him, which was clearly forcing the officials of Chang'an City to stand in public.
Among the officials in Chang'an City who came to participate in the hunting conference, at least 70% of the officials stepped forward to thank Wu Sansi and flattered him.
Only 30% of them were unwilling to cause trouble. They were still worried about the officials of the Tang Dynasty sitting in their seats and did not go to the gate of the imperial camp to please Wu Sansi.
However, they did not dare to stand on the side of the emperor. What Emperor Wu Yizong and Jinwu Guard did in Huayin County fully demonstrated that this was a group of mad dogs, who dared to provoke them?!
If this is a political squad for Chang'an local snakes, Yang Yao, as the emperor, lost in vain.
The mature and steadfast Liu Rengui did not argue, and slowly stepped forward to Wu Sansi. He neither thanked or refused, and said to Wu Sansi, "I thanked the Empress Dowager for his kindness and rewarded the Duke, but I am old and may no longer be able to hold the position of the left-behind Chang'an. I want to resign from the Empress Dowager!"
Wu Sansi knew that Liu Rengui and the Empress Dowager were not the same as the one who was trying hard to win over. He could not guess what the old fox Liu Rengui suddenly proposed to resign from his position as a left-behind Chang'an. Is he really wanting to spend his old age in peace, or is he slapping him in public? "The Empress Dowager has long said it clearly, Liu Pushe is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and loyalty should be a role model in the world. Why did Lao Pushe say this?!"
Liu Rengui coughed a few times and continued, "Since the Empress Dowager values me, I have a word that goes beyond the line, so please tell the Empress Dowager together."
What tricks does this old guy play? Is it over?
Wu Sansi was already impatient with this old thing that was not the Wu family, but since the empress dowager repeatedly reminded her before leaving, she could only ask patiently, "Liu Pushe said it! I will tell the empress dowager truthfully."
Liu Rengui said casually, "I have heard that although Empress Lu of the Han Dynasty was in power, she was inevitably criticized and ridiculed by later generations. After her death, Lu Lu and Lu Chan suffered disasters, which caused trouble to the world. I also asked the Empress Dowager to take Empress Lu as a warning, and don't repeat the same mistake!"
What he said was to compare the Empress Dowager to Empress Lu of the Han Dynasty. What Wu Sansi couldn't tolerate was that he compared him with Wu Chengsi to Lu Lu and Lu Chan, and said bluntly that the two were the ones who were in trouble in the world.
Wu Sansi was so angry that his face suddenly became mute, and he said coldly, "Since the old servant She is really precious and poor, I will return to Luoyang to report to the Empress Dowager that I have approved the old servant She's resignation and enjoy the wealth and prosperity in my old age!"
A ray of light flashed across Liu Rengui's eyes, and he nodded repeatedly at Wu Sansi, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
After thanking him, he returned to the seat and continued to drink by himself, no longer taking a look at Wu Sansi.
Yang Yao heard the conversation between the two clearly and was secretly happy. Wu Sansi, this idiot, had an IQ fee!
Liu Rengui is in a high position left by Chang'an, and is a pillar of the sky in Guanzhong. Power is the best aphrodisiac. How could Liu Rengui willingly go home to retire? The old fox is clearly tempting Wu Sansi in secret. Will he respect his vested interests left by Chang'an? If Wu Sansi is smart, he should flatly reject Liu Rengui's request to return home to retire.
In history, Liu Rengui has repeatedly staged resignation scenes, but the tiger mom flatly refused every time, allowing Liu Rengui to stay in Chang'an. It was not until the old fox died that he naturally took over the jurisdiction of Chang'an, and solved the biggest hidden danger without any blood.
Moreover, Liu Rengui compared Empress Lu to Tiger Mom, but actually recognized the power structure of Tiger Mom in controlling the world. Using Lv Lu and Lv Chan to compete with Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi is testing Wu Sansi's mind and belly!
Wu Sansi couldn't even listen to such a remark, and even shook Liu Rengui's face, even stating that he wanted Liu Rengui to go back to retire. What kind of person Wu Sansi is? Will he respect Liu Rengui's interests? This old fox must have a clear idea.
Tiger Mom! Tiger Mom! You are really doing everything, but you don’t know that Wu Sansi sent is a fool. He won’t be able to do anything more than to lose things! Haha!
Princess Taiping saw the officials neglecting the emperor, but went to slap Wu Sansi's flattery. She was also dissatisfied and pouted, "A group of flattery people, it looks disgusting! Brother, why don't you scold them?!"
It is useful to curse people, but what else should the army do? The officials' incestuous affair were also expected by him.
Yang Yao was in a good mood and had his eyes on the throne. He had not made any statement yet.
Are these generals Huzi also tempted the flames and attached power?
Xue Ne originally wanted to distance herself from the emperor, but the officials were tempted to please Wu Sansi. The officials who were waiting to flatter him were lined up and surrounded him for three floors, making the scene in chaos.
However, in front of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there were no doors, and there was not even a single person to greet him.
Seeing such a ridiculous scene, Xue Na, who was loyal and righteous, was really indignant!
The so-called king and minister died of humiliation, and the old Xue family was loyal to the Tang Dynasty and the emperor for generations. Moreover, the Wu brothers were extremely vicious in the case of forcing the strong men, which made the people of Huayin County miserable. The emperor followed the advice and was willing to provide relief to the people. He even sent his son-in-law, eunuchs, and palace maids to settle these disaster victims.
The cruelty and incompetence of the Wu brothers is in sharp contrast with the mercy of the emperor. Whether it is loyalty to the emperor, respect for righteousness, or the people's living and working in peace and contentment, Xue Ne has no choice!
He raised the pride of the family in his bones again, and made a unique decision immediately, standing on the side of the emperor!
Xue Na asked Xue Chuyu in a low voice, "Wurang, Wu Sansi is such a man who is too deceiving the king. Our Xue family has been loyal and kind for generations and will never be accomplices for tigers! You must stand on the emperor's side for your brother. What do you think?"
Xue Chuyu was a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger and said in a deep voice, "Dalang, the so-called scholars died as confidants. The Empress Dowager regarded our old Xue family as grass, but the Emperor regarded us as treasures. The kindness of knowing the favor of meeting should be repayed by death. I went to cut off this Wu Sansi who deceiving the king!"
He was angry and pulled out his scabbard, but Yang Yao got up and gently grabbed his wrist and patted his scabbard, "Chu Yu, I know the loyalty of the Xue family, so don't be impatient!"
