Before Wang Yan left the capital, he went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor.
Sima Duan was practicing calligraphy, while the queen was sharpening ink. The two of them played the harp and the harp in harmony, feeling very relaxed and at ease.
When he saw Wang Yan, Sima Duan put down his pen.
"Your Majesty." Wang Yan bowed his head.
"Captain, please sit down." Sima Duan said kindly.
Wang Yan sat down with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you are so happy and nourish your character. You are truly a blessed person."
Sima Duan smiled bitterly and said: "What else can I do? My moral character is shallow and I am not familiar with military affairs, so I can only write and paint."
"Your Majesty's words are true." Wang Yan said: "The King of Liang helped the poor and helped the poor, and the billions of trillions returned to his heart. It's already one by one."
"It's so humbling to be a subordinate!" Queen Qin couldn't help but say.
Sima Duan's face turned pale.
Wang Yanyun was calm and relaxed, and he cupped his hands and said: "It is God who has brought disaster to the Jin country, and no human effort can save it. King Liang was born in a civilian family, but he has very strong bones and a strong body since he was a child. Is this not God?"
"There is no need to say anything, Lieutenant." Sima Duan said, "I don't want De to be unworthy of my position. I will finish the task as soon as possible, and I will feel relaxed."
"That's very good." Wang Yan said with a smile: "This month, I hope that the DPRK will meet, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to ascend to the throne."
The emperor didn't answer, but he didn't refuse either. He obviously acquiesced.
Under the current situation, he was too lazy to go to court most of the time. Unless someone reminded him to ascend the throne and go to court, he would just play in the palace, write and paint, and even listen to music and dance.
This time Wang Yan specially came to remind me, which means that the court meeting on June 15th cannot be missed and must be held because there is a "big event".
"There is one more thing." Wang Yan pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty can send an envoy to Liangzhou to reprimand Duke Xiping for not paying tribute, but do not take away his position. If you think he has done a good job in protecting the country and the people, you can give him a car.
The number of horses multiplied.”
Sima Duan was silent for a moment, then picked up his pen and prepared to write an edict in handwriting.
"Your Majesty." Wang Yan cupped his hands and said, "The edict has been written and there is no need to rewrite it."
Sima Duan laughed at himself, pulled out a piece of paper, and started asking for Jing's copybooks again.
"I have never heard that the emperor is still young and the heroine is coming to court." Mrs. Qin said from the side: "Your majesty is almost thirty years old, but the queen mother is not letting go of the great treasure, and even sends people to monitor the emperor, so that the palace is like a prison.
"
Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "The Queen's words are inconsistent with the true meaning of filial piety."
Mrs. Qin was speechless and had nothing to say for a moment.
Sima Duan hid his hand on the case and gently tugged on Qin's sleeve.
"I met the King of Liang earlier. After the King intends to accede to the throne, he will grant His Majesty the title of Duke of Teng and grant him a residence of three thousand households. Your Majesty can still use the emperor's ceremonial guard, and will not bow to the new emperor when he meets the new emperor." Wang Yan said: "Such a reward is enough to show that.
Vigor.”
When Sima Duan heard this, his expression moved slightly.
Mrs. Qin looked at him, although her expression was hesitant, there was a hint of joy in her eyes.
Although many people told them that King Liang had a sense of discretion and would not treat the emperor of Jin Dynasty harshly, but if he did not get it right, he would not be able to feel at ease. Now it has finally been implemented!
Since Wang Yan dares to say this, it is a certainty that there will be no more changes.
The only flaw is probably that "Teng" is a small country, and the Duke of Teng is the Duke of Teng. It doesn't sound good to say it. Moreover, there is no king or county prince. The Jin Dynasty even named the Wei Emperor Chenliu King when he was so old.
However, why Cao Wei named Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty the Duke of Shanyang, while Sima Jin named Emperor Yuan of Wei the King of Chenliu, this is not understandable to outsiders.
After Wang Yan said these two things, he stood up and left.
After taking a few steps, he turned around again, smiled to himself, and said, "I am old and always forget things."
Sima Duan didn't speak and only focused on practicing his calligraphy.
Wang Yan looked at the handwriting on the paper and felt a little admiration, saying: "The word "Your Majesty" is quite popular."
"On weekdays, I have nothing else to do but practice calligraphy." Sima Duan said.
"Your Majesty can write the edict by hand now." Wang Yan said with a smile.
Sima Duan became a little more interested and eager to try.
"Previously, Tuoba Huai disobeyed the king's command, but now he has sent an envoy to repair it. Your Majesty can make him the Duke of Wuyuan County." Wang Yan said.
Sima Duan waved it away, and after the ink dried, he handed it to Wang Yan like a minister.
Wang Yan took it and took a look. It was very simple and there was no literary talent at all. The handwriting was just good.
So he nodded, put the edict away, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After that, under the gaze of the emperor and empress, he turned and left.
****
After Wang Yan took the edict, he went straight to the Jiulong Hall where the Queen Mother lived.
Suddenly, he met King Liang here.
He was accompanying the Queen Mother to enjoy the flowers. When he saw Wang Yan from a distance, he immediately changed his clothes.
Wang Yan just pretended not to see it, negotiated for a while, gave the edict a seal, handed it to his entourage to send to Tai Pavilion, and left the palace.
His old wife, Mrs. Guo, was in poor health and did not want to travel and travel. Moreover, there was still business in Luoyang, so she stayed.
After Wang Yan paid a visit to the servants in the palace, he took a car and headed east. On the way, he detoured to Panyuan and met his two daughters.
The Wang sisters share a courtyard.
When Wang Yan got close, he heard Wang Jingfeng's voice coming from inside.
"I can no longer serve him, but he still catches fish with his own hands to make soup for me." His voice was filled with joy and pride.
"Your Majesty is a man who misses the past, and you are a blessed man." Wang Huifeng's voice also came out.
Wang Yan's face darkened.
What about fishing with your own hands? Did I get dazzled just now? But alas, if you should pretend to be confused, you have to pretend to be confused. Maybe everyone is pretending to be confused. You are the only one who is smart and self-righteous, which is not good.
So she cleared her throat, and after a while, a maid opened the courtyard door.
"Master?" Wang Jingfeng was leaning on the bed and called out happily when he saw Wang Yan.
"Grandpa." Wang Huifeng put down the scroll in his hand and said with a peaceful smile.
Under the shade of the trees, the breeze came slowly, blowing the hair and clothes of the two girls.
For some reason, Wang Yan suddenly sighed.
There was a man and a woman reading in the room. After hearing the noise, they all came out to salute:
"My grandpa.
Wang Yan put away his messy thoughts, put on a smile and said, "Master, Sang Yu is already so big."
The two came to their mother separately.
"Yaren" is the nickname of Wang Jingfeng's daughter, and she is also the fifth daughter of Shao Xun. She was born in the first month of the third year of Shengui (319) and is nine years old this year. "Sangyu" is Wang Huifeng's son, Wang Jiuzi, one month younger than Yaren.
.
This nickname was given by Wang Huifeng because he was already thirty-nine or forty when he was born.
She never thought that she would be able to have children in this life, and that she would be able to "reap the mulberry leaves" at the age of forty.
She was a little overwhelmed with this child at first.
She just wanted to serve the King of Liang, but serving a child made her very ashamed. Probably because at that time, the King of Liang had given him too many rewards in order to serve the country and the people.
However, she was very good at psychological construction and quickly overcame all kinds of emotions and continued to be calm and relaxed.
"Father is going to Bianliang?" Wang Huifeng asked.
"Ah? What about grandma? How can she be willing to close those stalls?" Wang Jingfeng fiddled with his daughter's bun and asked in surprise.
Wang Yan glared at Wang Jingfeng.
Wang Jingfeng chuckled and continued playing with his daughter's bun. Unexpectedly, she hid behind her aunt.
Wang Huifeng glanced at Wang Jingfeng angrily.
Jingfeng restrained herself somewhat, but once she felt bored, she would start to yawn.
"We are going to Bianliang now." Wang Yan said, "Your mother is reluctant to close the stall."
Wang Jingfeng laughed.
"For someone who is almost fifty, how can he be so unruly in front of children and have no rules at all?" Wang Yan couldn't help but cursed.
Wang Jingfeng disagreed: "Are you going to allow a man to be nudity at fifty and be unrestrained, thinking that if you have good manners, a woman should be more upright? I'm not stealing, and I'm not doing any harm to God or any reason."
Yaren and Sangyu slipped away quietly.
Wang Yan became increasingly angry.
Wang Jingfeng stood up with a smile, walked to Wang Yan, gently patted his shoulders, and said: "Master, I will first serve your daughter in this life.
I have been well-fed and clothed since I was a child. I thought I was unlucky when I grew up, but I still have a man who dotes on me, and I have children around my knees. I can't think of any shortcomings. Can I still be your daughter in the next life?"
Wang Yan stood there, silent for a long time, with a hint of sadness on his face.
When Wang Jingfeng saw it, he squeezed out a smile and said: "Master, don't do this, don't do this. I used to pat my shoulders for you when I was a child, and I can still pat my shoulders for you when I am nearly fifty. The chaos in the world is already a blessing. Since it is a blessing,
Don't be greedy, don't ask for too much, just live with the situation. Now that the whole family is here, what else can I ask for?"
Wang Yan, who has always been very eloquent, was unable to refute what his eldest daughter said.
"Blessing—" Wang Yan chewed lightly.
"Ah, I actually defeated the world-famous Wang Yifu in the debate." Wang Jingfeng covered his mouth and laughed, saying: "Okay, grandpa, I will definitely be your daughter in the next life, and you must not forget me. However, I have to find Prince Liang.
Marry him first and see who comes to snatch her away."
Interrupted by Wang Jingfeng, Wang Yan shook his head and said: "Who wants you, a child who only knows how to eat and sleep? I didn't know how to beat my shoulders when I was a child, and I still can't do it now. With you, a prodigal daughter, I can't even do it now that I'm old.
Go and fight for Shao Quanzhong, you will lose your face."
"Then I will be your son in the next life and share everything with you." Wang Jingfeng said with a smile. After that, he imitated Wang Yan's tone and said: "This son stands among the crowd, like a green mountain standing tall and thousands of feet standing on a wall.
Like beautiful jade left among the rubble."
Wang Huifeng was also amused.
Wang Yan even smiled bitterly and sighed: "I have to roll my eyes and carry a heavy burden for the rest of my life."
"Grandpa, you can choose more talented people from humble backgrounds to share the difficult and complicated tasks." Wang Huifeng suggested.
Wang Yan nodded slightly.
He originally didn't like to deal with mundane affairs personally, preferring to grasp the general direction, formulate a general strategy, and then leave it to others to handle it.
If you have to handle everything with your own hands, why don't you get exhausted? Take some time off when you need it.
Hui Feng was right, he should use more talented people with poor backgrounds. Quanzhong was delighted when he saw it, and he was also happy and relaxed.
Moreover, those people are very motivated and are willing to do anything to climb up. If they are promoted, they will be more grateful and more likely to become his party members than those from high-ranking families. The descendants of the Wang family will also be able to enjoy their legacy.
Of course, he originally wanted to reuse these people.
More than ten counties, including Changshan, Zhongshan, Gaoyang, Hejian, Zhangwu, Boling, and Laoling, need people who are not afraid of quarrels to charge forward to clear land and register household registrations.
On June 14, the day before the Wangri Dynasty meeting, Wang Yan left Luoyang.
He left in such a hurry, as if he was not in charge of the abdication.
