After Wan Zha left, Yang Xun finally couldn't hold back his expression, burst out laughing, and said to Old Man Liao: "Mr. Liao, your eloquence is really great, and you deceived Wan Zha into agreeing in one fell swoop. Haha, Wan Zha is really an idiot. If this crime is exposed, Wan He will die. As Wan He's cousin, how can he be spared? It is simply extremely stupid."
When Old Man Liao heard Yang Jian's praise, he just smiled faintly, as if he had just done an extremely ordinary thing, and said: "That Wan Zha was just blinded by hatred and fear. It's a pity that with his talent , indeed he can be regarded as a talent. If he were not Wan He's cousin, he should be able to help His Highness in the future."
"Hmph," Yang Jian seemed a little disdainful of Old Man Liao's words, and hummed: "Such an idiot will not be of much use even if he stays with me."
Old man Liao was speechless about Yang Xian's arrogance. He had long been accustomed to Yang Xian's character and knew that even if he tried to persuade him, he would only make Yang Xian dissatisfied. If you really want to talk about it, Yang Xian and today's The emperor's temperament is exactly the same, but in terms of talent, Yang Jian is far inferior to the current emperor. At least the current emperor will not fail to see Wan Zha's talent. Thinking of this, Old Man Liao couldn't help but shake his head. There is no more What can I say, now that I have chosen Yang Jian, I will never have a chance to look back.
At the same time, in the main hall of the palace, a day's court meeting was in progress. Wan He, who had finally managed not to be late, was standing in the corner, secretly squinting his eyes and dozing off. As for the discussion at the court meeting What, to Wan He, is nothing more than some shortcomings of the Zhang family and the Li family, but Wan He doesn't care at all. Now he just wants to end the court meeting as soon as possible so that he can go home and have a good sleep. , it was precisely because Wan He fell asleep that he did not realize that an extremely important matter was being discussed in the court at this moment.
"Your Majesty, the three-year Eastern Expedition has consumed the national treasury, wasted people and money, and now it is time to cultivate and nourish the people, appease the people, and allow the people to take a breather. This is the right way. The Eastern Expedition must never be carried out again. I hope Your Majesty will take your advice," said a middle-aged man The official shouted to Yang Guang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, with an upright look on his face. This middle-aged official was Lang Yu Shinan, Wan He's secretary who had had an affair with him before.
Yang Guang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had a livid face, his eyes were already full of murderous intent, and his teeth were making squeaking sounds. If he hadn't been concerned about Yu Shinan's reputation, I'm afraid he would have ordered Yu Shinan to be killed. Already.
The cause of the matter was Yang Guang's plan to conquer Goguryeo again. Since Wanhe helped Yang Guang defeat Goguryeo in Bishe City last year, although the King of Goguryeo temporarily professed his vassalship, after Yang Guang's army returned to the east capital, Goguryeo regretted it. As a result, Yang Guang's third Eastern Expedition ended in failure again. How could Yang Guang, who had always been so happy with success, accept such an ending? Therefore, starting from the beginning of this year, Yang Guang was planning to launch the Fourth Eastern Expedition. Yang Yichen went north to suppress the bandits just to clear the way for the Eastern Expedition. Now that Yang Yichen had set off, other preparations were almost done, so Yang Guang began to raise the matter in the court today, but he did not expect that he would just open his mouth. , and met with opposition, Yu Shinan actually said it so ruthlessly.
Seeing that Yu Shinan dared to point out Yang Guang's fault, all the officials in the court were shocked. They all secretly glanced at Yu Shinan and then at Yang Guang. They all lowered their heads for fear of being attacked by Yuchi. Because of the disaster, Yang Guang was worried about his own face and could not curse loudly in the court. Even though he snorted coldly, he shouted: "I defeated the Goguryeo army last year, which shows that Goguryeo is in a state of ruin. Why bother to waste people and money?" , I went on four consecutive expeditions to the East in order to open up the territory of the Sui Dynasty, and for the sake of the Sui Dynasty for thousands of generations. How come it has become a disaster for the country and the people in your mouth? Why don't you back down from me?"
If it were Yu Shiji, after hearing what Yang Guang said, he would immediately retreat without even daring to fart. But now it is Yu Shinan who stands up. This old boy is accepting death and has a stubborn head. , even in the face of Yang Guang's eyes full of murderous intent, Yu Shinan still refused to retreat, stiffening his neck and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to the Sui Dynasty and to your Majesty. Now the world is in chaos and bandits are raging. , Your Majesty does not first quell the civil strife, but rushes to attack the foreign countries thousands of miles away. This will only make the world full of complaints, the people will be displaced, bandits will be rampant, and it will cause local instability. By then, the country will not be a country. ,"
As soon as Yu Shinan said these words, there was a dead silence in the court hall. Only Yang Guang's increasingly heavy breathing could be heard regularly. All the officials looked at Yu Shinan with wide eyes, their faces full of astonishment. This Yu Shinan must be too courageous. Doesn't this mean that the Sui Dynasty is about to fall? With the temper of the current emperor, how can he endure it? This Yu Shinan doesn't want his head.
Sure enough, when Yang Guang heard what Yu Shinan said, the murderous intent in his eyes increased again. He slapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his right hand and shouted loudly: "Asshole, Yu Shinan, how dare you speak to me like this? Could it be that you You really think I don’t dare to kill you,”
Yang Guang's roar clearly showed his murderous intention. Although Yu Shinan had a tough temper, he had to lower his head in fear when faced with Long Yan's anger. Everyone turned their attention to Yu Shiji next to him. The younger brother has caused such a huge disaster. How will he, the elder brother, end up? But what surprised everyone even more was that Yu Shiji stood there motionless, looking at his nose, nose and heart, as if he hadn't heard anything. Generally speaking, what is going on? Yu Shiji is not worried about his younger brother at all. Although I heard that the relationship between the two brothers is not very good, they are still brothers after all. Besides, now that Yu Shinan has caused such a big trouble, if he is The Holy One has punished him, and Yu Shiji, the elder brother, will probably be implicated.
No matter what everyone thought, Yu Shiji stayed there motionless and refused to come out. If Yu Shiji didn't come out to save Yu Shinan, it didn't mean that everyone would sit back and watch Yu Shinan be beheaded for offending Jun Yan. They were angry when they saw Yang Guang's lips. When he was green, he opened his mouth to scold Yu Shinan. A figure flashed among the crowd, and then a voice was heard shouting: "Father, Mr. Yu is also loyal, but his words were a little inappropriate and offended my father. Please, please For the sake of Lord Yu's loyalty to the Sui Dynasty, my father, please spare him this time."
Everyone didn't need to look, they knew who it was just by hearing these words. There are not many princes under the emperor's throne today, and the only one who is qualified to participate in the government of the court is the second prince, Qi Wang Yang Jian.
At this moment, Yang Jian was sweating profusely. Of course, he knew that his rash step forward would only make Yang Guang dissatisfied, but he couldn't do it if he didn't step forward. One of his two biggest helpers in the court was Xu Shanxin, and the other One is Yu Shinan. Xu Shanxin has been imprisoned by Wan He and sent to the heavenly prison. If the remaining Yu Shinan has another accident, the power he has worked so hard for these years in the court will immediately fall apart. Moreover, if Yu Shinan suffers, if he himself If he stood by and watched, word would spread throughout the court that King Qi had a cold nature, and who would be willing to follow him and serve him in the future.
"Zhongxin," Yang Guang looked coldly at Yang Jian who was kneeling below, pulled up the corner of his mouth slightly, and snorted coldly. The coldness on his face did not diminish at all. This Yu Shinan is loyal, but he doesn't know his Who is loyal to? Of course Yang Guang is not unaware of the relationship between Yu Shinan and Yang Jian. A month ago, Yang Guang ordered Xu Shanxin to be imprisoned in the sky prison. On the one hand, it was indeed because of Xu Shanxin's actions that angered Yang Guangda. On the other hand, it was also to beat his own son. Unexpectedly, Yang Jing didn't know how to advance or retreat, and today he dared to contradict himself. In Yang Guang's heart, he gradually had the intention to abolish Yang Jing.
However, Yang Guang was an expert in conspiracy. Although he had made up his mind to deal with Yang Jian, he did not leave any trace on the surface. He just snorted coldly, and the coldness on his face actually eased, and he hummed: "Okay, for the sake of King Qi, I will spare you this time, but I can't just let you go. Someone, come here and kick this nonsense talker out of the palace and go home. I stared at the wall and thought about it for three days."
After thinking about it for three days, it was over. The Holy Emperor actually let Yu Shinan go. Everyone looked at Yu Shinan in surprise as he was being carried out by the guards outside the palace. There were complicated expressions on their faces. They all thought that This time, even if Yu Shinan survived, he would still be dismissed from his post by the Holy Emperor. Unexpectedly, he would just face the wall and think about his fault. Everyone's eyes moved to Qi Wang Yang Jian who was still kneeling there. Some people are thinking, it seems that the status of King Qi in the eyes of the Holy One is quite high. Otherwise, the Holy One will not let Yu Shinan go just because of King Qi's words. Could it be that, His Majesty It was planned to establish King Qi as the crown prince, and for a while, various speculations arose in everyone's minds.
Yang Jian obviously didn't expect that Yang Guang would suddenly make such a decision. He was still thinking secretly in his heart about how to help Yu Shinan keep his official position, but he didn't expect that it would be such a result, which Yang Jian couldn't accept, but anyway , this result was exactly what Yang Jian hoped for, and then Yang Jian saluted Yang Guang and shouted loudly: "My dear father, thank you for your magnanimity."
"Well, okay, let's not mention this matter again," Yang Guang waved his hand, as if he had forgotten what just happened, and motioned for Yang Xian to go back, but in Yang Guang's heart, he snorted secretly. He said that he let Yu Shinan go just to make all civil and military officials think that he belonged to the King of Qi. He wanted to see how many people would fall to the King of Qi. When the time came, Yang Guang would not mind another purge.
