But those are all things for later. Now through Yu Shinan, Yang Guang has been able to suppress the group of courtiers who were sitting down. He felt a little proud in his heart. He snorted coldly and shouted: "As for the proposal of this Eastern Expedition, dear friends, can you please return it?" Do you have any comments?"
There was a hint of chill in Yang Guang's words, and the meaning was self-evident. If anyone had any objections, they would end up like Yu Shinan. The people standing below were all high-ranking officials. How could they not understand the meaning of Yang Guang's words? The vast majority of people looked bitter and simply lowered their heads and pretended not to know anything. However, there were still a small number of people who were hesitating in their hearts. The old minister Su Wei was right. is one of them.
Su Wei's life has been ups and downs, and this mouth has caused him a lot of trouble. But now Su Wei is seventy or eighty years old, and he can no longer withstand the torment, so after this ups and downs, Su Wei is With the mentality of being an official honestly and being a monk for a day and beating the clock, he hangs out in the officialdom without offending anyone or clinging to anyone. This actually allows him to spend several years in peace. Although he also spent the last year because of The Eastern Expedition made Yang Guang unhappy, but Su Wei quickly shut his mouth and saved his life. But now, the same thing and the same choice are before Su Wei. Wei hesitated again.
One is to protect oneself wisely and pretend to be deaf and dumb like other officials; the other is to shoulder the responsibility of being a Sui official and risk his own life to give advice. These two paths are placed in front of Su Wei, and Su Wei is also in a dilemma. After seeing that none of his colleagues around him spoke, Su Wei could only let out a long sigh and said to himself: "Kui'er, I can't help you as a father this time."
With this thought in his mind, Su Wei took another deep breath, his old eyes suddenly opened, and a light flashed in his eyes. Su Wei changed his old look and walked directly out of the queue of officials. , bowed to Yang Guang in the astonished eyes of everyone, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has reported that although the Liaodong countries do not obey the power of heaven, they are just clowns. Your Majesty sent a general to lead more than ten thousand troops. It is enough to quell it, but rebellions are spreading everywhere in the world. If they are not quelled as soon as possible, I am afraid that the foundation of the Sui Dynasty will be shaken. I hope your Majesty will be careful about it."
Su Wei's appearance made Yang Guang, whose face had improved a little, immediately become gloomy. He didn't expect that with the example of Yu Shinan in front of him, someone would dare to make such a move, and this person was usually the person that Yang Guang hated the most. Yang Guang's face turned blue when he saw Old Man Su. He wanted to scold Su Wei, but he was worried about Su Wei's prestige, so he could only hold back the anger in his heart and shouted coldly: " What the boss said is wrong. Although Goguryeo was a conquered state in Liaodong, it was arrogant and humiliated the Sui Dynasty several times. As the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, I naturally had to lead a personal expedition to highlight the power of heaven. As for the rebellion that the boss said, They are just some unruly bandits, and they will never become a problem. Moreover, I have already sent Yang Yichen to lead the troops to eliminate them. With Yang Yichen's ability, it is not easy to catch these bandits."
Hearing Yang Guang's words, Su Wei felt bitter in his heart, and even regretted that he had pretended to be deaf and mute all these years. The rebellion outside was so fierce, but here in the emperor, he just turned into some bandits. Thinking of this, Su Wei couldn't help but glared at Yu Shiji and Yu Wenshu who were standing aside. If it weren't for these two people's confusion, how could the emperor close his eyes and hear such a situation? Then, Su Wei persuaded him earnestly. He said: "Your Majesty, the rebellion is raging now. It is no longer just a small bandit. There is Gao Shida in Hebei, Du Fuwei in Jiangdong, Wang Xuba, Wei Daoer, and Wagang bandits in Shanggu..."
"That's enough." After hearing Su Wei's enumeration of the world's thieves and bandits, Yang Guang's face became increasingly ugly, and the murderous intent in his eyes was even stronger than when he looked at Yu Shinan before. Yang Guang stood up from the dragon chair in a flash, Pointing at Su Wei with his right hand, he trembled slightly and shouted: "Su Wei, how dare you deceive the public with your monstrous words, which is shocking. If according to what you said, there are so many thieves and bandits in the world, will my country also be in danger?" "
"Your Majesty, calm down." Seeing Yang Guang's anger, everyone immediately knelt down and sang in unison, and Su Wei was no exception. His old body was lying on the ground and trembling uncontrollably. Yang Guang's anger was all over It was directed at him alone, so he was naturally under the greatest pressure. Maybe it was Su Wei's old and frail appearance that made Yang Guang's anger subside a little. After yelling this, Yang Guang became cold. He snorted and sat back on the dragon chair.
"Mom, what's going on?" Among the people kneeling down, Wan He was looking around with a confused expression. He was sleeping soundly just now, but was suddenly awakened by the shout. Waiting When he opened his eyes, he saw that there were already many people kneeling down around him. Although Wan He didn't know what happened, he instinctively knelt down. But just when he took a peek in front of him, Yang Guang's face was ashen. Wan He could see the appearance clearly, and couldn't help but secretly complain, who the hell had nothing to do when he was full, and made this tyrant angry. Thinking of this, Wan He became more and more afraid to move, for fear that if he moved, Yang would be hurt. It would be terrible if Guang's anger was directed towards him.
However, Wan He wanted to keep a low profile, but it backfired. Looking at Su Wei lying on the ground, Yang Guang suddenly remembered that it was because of this incident last year that Su Wei made him very angry. Later, Su Wei was just bombarded by him. When he went out, he was inexplicably punched by Wan He. It was precisely because of this that Yang Guang looked at that boy Wan He differently. Thinking of Wan He, Yang Guang's eyes couldn't help but move to where Wan He was, and paused. After a while, he shouted in a deep voice: "Wan He, you were the hero in the battle of Goguryeo last year, so what do you think of my decision this time?"
He didn't want to cause trouble, but it happened to him. Wan He also complained secretly. He was in a daze before and didn't know what happened. Now Yang Guang came to ask Wan He's opinion, what should Wan He do? In reply, Wan He stood up with a reluctant look on his face, bowed to Yang Guang, and walked hesitantly to the center of the hall, hesitating but not knowing what to say, his eyes twitching. I want to get some clues from the people around me.
Not to mention, this sight really made Wan He's eyes light up. He saw a figure near the front of a large group of officials kneeling on Wan He's left side. Wan He looked quite familiar, but this was not The main reason that attracted Wan He. What caught Wan He's attention was that the figure kneeling on the ground seemed to inadvertently extend a hand outward, and then his index finger curled up and began to swing from side to side. Wan He took a closer look. He immediately recognized the identity of that figure. It was the famous Sui general Huer who served as Wanhe's boss during the last expedition to Goguryeo.
Since returning from the Eastern Expedition, Wan He and Lai Hu'er have not lost their friendship. Lai Hong, Lai Hu'er's son, has a particularly good relationship with Wan He, so if Wan He is free, he will go to Hu'er's house. Now Lai Hu'er Son's treatment of Wan He is no longer as indifferent as before, so when Wan He encountered difficulties this time, Lai'er naturally did not forget to help him.
As soon as he saw the action of coming to protect his children, Wan He lowered his head and thought about it, and immediately guessed that Yang Guang was discussing the Eastern Expedition just now. In fact, it was not difficult to guess. Since the King of Goguryeo After repenting and refusing to go to the court to worship, Yang Guang often mentioned that he would reorganize his troops and conquer Goguryeo. Now combined with the appearance of the court kneeling on the ground and the reminder to come to protect the children, Wan He could easily think After understanding the reason and having confidence in his heart, Wan Hedang paid homage to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, the Eastern Expedition is a huge matter. Your Majesty asked me to figure out the joints in such a short period of time. I really feel sorry for you." I can't do anything, so please forgive me, Your Majesty,"
Wan He's answer is also very simple, one word, drag. The expedition to Goguryeo does not care about Wan He at all. Whether Yang Guang wants to expedition to the East or not has nothing to do with Wan He. Anyway, Wan He has just served as the Minister of Rites. Yang Guang It is impossible to send Wan He to fight in Goguryeo again.
It's a pity that Wan He is smart and Yang Guang is not stupid either. Hearing Wan He's answer, he snorted and shouted: "Wan Qing family, I just want you to answer whether I should go to the east or not. Do you think you should do it in the spring?" The top scholar can't even answer such a simple question?"
Sigh, Wan He's forehead was immediately covered with beads of sweat, and his back was getting chills. Yang Guang was clearly trying to catch up. If he answered yes, Wan He's reputation would be ruined in the future. Maybe in the future, history books will write about Wan He as a traitorous minister. But if he disagrees with the answer, Comrade Yang's eyes are staring at it. As long as he doesn't say it out loud, Comrade Yang might immediately do it. Let someone chop off your own head. Oh my god, Comrade Lao Yang, I didn’t dig up your ancestral graves, Lao Yang, so there’s no need for you to be so reluctant to get along with me.
In fact, Wan He had wronged Yang Guang. In Yang Guang's mind, Su Wei could not be killed now. The only way was to find someone to replace him and oppose Su Wei. The reason why Yang Guang chose Wan He to do this This role is because Wan He won the battle in Goguryeo last year. Yang Guang thought that everything Wan He has now can be said to have come from the battle in Goguryeo. Wan He will definitely not oppose the Eastern Expedition, so Yang Guang will take a look at it. , this arduous task fell to Wan He.
"This, this..." Wan He hesitated for a long time, unable to explain why. He raised his head and glanced at Yang Guang secretly, and saw that Yang Guang's face was getting more and more impatient. Wan He also felt that I was shocked, and I couldn't express the pain in my mouth.
