Chapter 1000
Wu Xianwen stood up involuntarily, not even willing to blink, just staring at his face, "You, really are..."
"Yes. I am Emperor Heng, Cen Yuan." The short-lived little emperor with the shortest reign in history.
Cen Yuan didn't beat around the bush. "I learned that the Grand Tutor was on the list of envoys, and I have been looking forward to meeting him day and night. Today, my wish finally came true."
After he finished speaking, he knelt down towards Wu Xianwen. This was the etiquette between teacher and student.
He traveled through time and space from the modern era, so he should kowtow to his teacher on behalf of his original self. Once a teacher, always a teacher.
Wu Xianwen, however, burst into tears and quickly turned aside, sobbing, "Your Majesty, I am not worthy."
After traveling around the mountains and rivers, he now returned to the court. Not only did he revise documents in the Hanlin Academy, he also changed his earlier reclusive style and entered the officialdom as the Minister of Rites.
He is now in a high position of power and has great influence over society.
He and Wang Yi were both leaders of the Liang State delegation and held the highest authority among the envoys.
As far as Emperor Heng was concerned, Wu Xianwen could be considered a betrayer no matter what the reason was.
Cen Yuan stood up quickly and was silent for a moment. "Taifu, there is no need to do this. Taifu has spent eight years traveling abroad and knows the sufferings of the people. He also knows that the failure of the imperial court's policies has led to widespread corruption among local officials. Taifu fought back with his own strength and almost died in Yancheng."
Wu Xianwen was stunned. "Your Majesty, how did you know?"
Cen Yuan said calmly, "I am not the emperor of Liang now, but the princess of Beiyi. I am the consort of Beiyi. You can call me Young Master Luo, or Prince Consort Haiyan, or just call me by my name, but you can't call me Your Majesty anymore."
Wu Xianwen felt even more sad.
Emperor Heng paused for a moment and continued, "Taifu almost lost his life in Yancheng, so he thought of returning to the court in a high-profile manner in response to Emperor Yong's request, in order to bring down the officials of Yancheng. Taifu did nothing wrong, and there is no need to be ashamed."
Wu Xianwen did write to Wang Yi because he wanted to uproot the officials of Yancheng, asking him to mention him in front of Emperor Yong. In the end, he returned to the court as promised.
Sometimes power is also the best umbrella for the people. He never expected that Emperor Heng not only knew his whereabouts very well, but also understood his good intentions.
I just felt that at this moment, all the hardships along the way were smoothed out by the grown-up Emperor Heng.
As the two stood there recognizing each other, there was a third person in the room. That was Wang Yi, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.
When Wang Yi saw the teacher and student recognize each other in this way, he was shocked at first, then embarrassed and ashamed, and finally he wanted to leave but couldn't move.
He wanted to take another look at the resurrected Emperor Heng, and wanted to know what the other party was planning. He stayed in the room in such a strange and awkward way until Emperor Heng noticed him.
Cen Yuan said calmly, "Everyone, please sit down. I came here today because I have something to tell you."
Before talking about business, he looked at Wang Yi who was sitting next to him, "When I was a child, I thought "The Emperor's Heart of Ten Thousand Miles" written by Lord Wang was boring. Now that I think about it carefully, I find that every sentence is classic and not a single word is redundant."
Wang Yi's body trembled when he heard this. He suddenly knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, unable to utter a word.
Your Majesty, it is you, it is really you... He said this in his heart, fearing that there might be ears on the other side of the wall, but he could not suppress his excitement.
He lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
It was not until Cen Yuan personally helped him up that he said with great shame, "Has the emperor ever blamed me for being spineless?"
