Chapter two hundred and ninetieth: Play hard to get
Hearing Yang Guang's roar, all the officials below knelt on the ground, not even daring to breathe loudly. In the entire Daye Hall, the only sound was Yang Guang's heavy breathing. Although no one among the officials dared to speak, they could However, the anger in Yang Guang's heart could not be eliminated. He stared at Wan He coldly and shouted: "Wan He, do you have anything to say?"
Yang Guang was the first to call his name. Wan He was not surprised at all. Yang Guang was spreading the news of spies in Luoyang City. Naturally, he couldn't hide it from Yang Gongqing, who was already a local leader in Luoyang City. Wan He knew very well that he Meeting Yang Tong and frequently contacting the ministers of the DPRK and China will definitely arouse Yang Guang's dissatisfaction. It is reasonable for Yang Guang to challenge him, so before coming today, Wan He had already done everything I have made sufficient mental preparations to deal with Comrade Yang's outburst.
Immediately, Wan He bowed to Yang Guang, straightened his back, knelt there with his hands bowed and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, I heard from His Highness the King of Yue about Master Xiao and General Yang. It was also a big deal. I am surprised, but please forgive me for my dereliction of duty. Before this, I did not know the reason for this matter. Therefore, I have been discussing with you all over the past few days to find out the twists and turns. Since your Majesty asked me, I dare to tell you what I think. I think that Mr. Xiao and General Yang are both relatives of the emperor. Especially Mr. Yang, he is the younger brother of the late emperor. These two people have a close relationship with your majesty. It is up to me to tell you. The crimes committed by these two people are afraid that I will not dare to speak out. This case needs to be tried by Your Majesty personally."
Wan He said these words, but it scared Yang Tong who was behind him half to death. No matter how precocious Yang Tong was, he was just a child after all, and his thoughts were still somewhat naive. He had taken a risk when he asked Wan He for help before. The risk was huge. I always hoped that Wan He could handle this matter quietly. It was best not to let the Holy Spirit notice it. But I didn't expect that Wan He would betray himself with just one mouthful. Yang Tong felt two cold eyes coming from above his head. Yang Tong immediately shuddered and almost collapsed to the ground.
Yang Guang was equally surprised. He did not expect that Wan He would take the initiative to admit that he met Yang Tong from the beginning. However, in Wan He's statement, he completely ignored any relationship he had with Yang Tong. Er Jing, it seemed that he had no responsibility at all. Of course Yang Guang would not be fooled by Wan He's simple statement, but he felt somewhat better. At least Wan He did not deceive himself as he imagined, so Yang Guang just snorted coldly, and the murderous intention in his heart also faded a lot. He snorted in a deep voice: "Then what should I do according to your wishes?"
"What I mean is that this case needs to be tried by Your Majesty in person. General Yang is a member of the clan and is the emperor's uncle, and Mr. Xiao is also the uncle of the state and has high prestige among the scholars. How can I dare to interrogate this case? Above the court, only Your Majesty has the qualifications to hear this case." Wan Hena bowed his head and talked to Yang Guang, but he repeatedly stated that he wanted the emperor to personally try it.
Wan He's words were heard in Yang Guang's ears. Half of them were very helpful, but the other half made Yang Guang a little unhappy. This time Yang Guang was determined to punish these two people. Beating the king of Yue Yang Tong was only the second best. What's important is that the reputation of these two people is so high, especially Xiao Yu's reputation among scholars, which has far exceeded that of the emperor. This is the thing that Yang Guang cannot tolerate the most.
Also, in the previous Battle of Yanmen Pass, when he was staying in Fenyang Palace, Yang Zichong repeatedly told Yang Guang that the Turks had bad intentions and that Yang Guang should pay attention to precautions, but Yang Guang did not listen to his advice. It would have been fine if nothing happened, but Yanmen Pass was besieged next, which not only confirmed Yang Zichong's foresight, but also proved Yang Guang's short time. It was like a big slap in the face to Yang Guang. As soon as he saw Yang Zichong, he felt his cheeks burning.
So, no matter what, Yang Guang never wants to see these two guys Xiao Yu and Yang Zichong again, but what Wan He said reminded Yang Guang that the relationship between Xiao Yu and Yang Zichong With such a high reputation, if he, the emperor, stepped forward to try the case, wouldn't it be a stain on his reputation? Thinking of this, Yang Guang couldn't help but feel shocked. He would never touch this case, but... Just as Wan He said, if he didn't come to try this case, how could anyone else be qualified to try it? Yang Guang's eyes scanned the area below, and finally settled on the one kneeling next to Wan He. Yuwenshu, in terms of reputation, I am afraid that only Yuwenshu has this qualification among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty. Then Yang Guang turned to Yuwenshu and said: "Yuwenqing family, what do you think about Wanhe's opinion?"
Seeing that the flames of war were burning on Yuwenshu again, the officials behind him turned their attention to Yuwenshu again, thinking to themselves, this fire is really exciting, maybe they can still see Yuwenshu. Let’s talk about the struggle between the old minister and the upstart Wan He.
I saw Yu Wenshu slowly raised his body, saluted Yang Guang, and said unhurriedly: "Reporting to your Majesty, I think what Liang Guogong said is reasonable. Whether it is Mr. Xiao Yuxiao or General Yang Zichong Yang, Both of them are relatives of the emperor. If someone from the royal family is involved, it will definitely make others feel unfair. Therefore, the veteran believes that a person who has nothing to do with the royal family should be sent to be competent. Your Majesty, the veteran believes that the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty "The one who is qualified for this important task is none other than Duke Liang. This is the memorial written by an old minister. Please have your Majesty take a look at it." After saying that, Yu Wenshu took out a memorial from his arms and held it in both hands above his head.
Yu Wenshu suddenly turned his spear and aimed directly at Wan He. This made everyone stunned. Could it be that these two people were really going to fight here? Yang Guang also glanced at Wan He in surprise. , when he saw Wan He, he also looked surprised, and then he waved his hand and motioned to Zhang Huaian to tell him. Yu Wenshu took the memorial in his hand, opened the memorial, and saw that Wan He was a first-class official in the dynasty. , it is the Duke again, it is reasonable and reasonable for him to hear the case on behalf of the emperor. After reading the memorial, Yang Guang frowned, but did not speak in a hurry. He thought for a moment. According to the information, Wan He also contacted Yu Wenshu. Well, then Yu Wenshu shouldn't oppose Wan He. But at this moment, another voice sounded from below: "Your Majesty, I also agree with Mr. Yuwen's suggestion. This important task does not belong to Mr. Wan He." Not up to the task,”
Yang Guang looked up and saw that Yu Shiji, the Minister of Internal Affairs, raised his body. At the same time, he held a memorial in his hand and raised it above his head. Before Yu Shiji could finish his words, there were shouts one after another from the crowd. The ministers rang out, and a dozen officials held memorials in their hands at the same time, expressing their agreement with Yu Wenshu's suggestion. Among them, there was actually Pei Shiju, Feng Deyi and other emperor's favorites. Seeing this situation, Wan He was With shock on his face, Yang Guang frowned and asked Zhang Huaian to collect all the memorials and read them all. He became more and more sure of his guess. I'm afraid Wan He was tricked by Yu Wenshu to do this. , obviously Wan He's promotion so quickly has made Yu Wenshu dissatisfied. Yu Wenshu naturally did not dare to make irresponsible remarks to the emperor. This unlucky one naturally became Wan He. Yu Wenshu has been in power for such a long time. How can it be that Wan He can't compare? With his opening, he immediately made the front that Wan He had pulled up turn against each other, but caught Wan He off guard.
Even so, Yang Guang has no sympathy for Wan He at all. Not only is it to beat Wan He, but the more important reason is that Yu Wenshu's statement is more in line with Yang Guang's wishes. From which direction, let It was most appropriate for Wan He to try the case on his behalf. Thinking of this, Yang Guang kept nodding his head and opened his mouth to make a decision. After Wan He saw Yang Guang's expression, he immediately shouted: "Your Majesty , Your Majesty, this must not be done. Your Majesty is still young and how can you shoulder such an important responsibility? If you fail to convince the public, you will only miss your Majesty's important events. Please think twice, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty," at this time, Feng Deyi, a member of the Internal Affairs Bureau, said, "what Mr. Wan said is not unreasonable, but I think that this matter will be easily solved. Since Mr. Wan is trying the case on behalf of Your Majesty, then Your Majesty can bestow upon Master Wan a token of token. With this token, if His Majesty comes in person, who would dare to disobey orders? In this way, Master Wan will be able to facilitate the trial of the case."
"Yeah," Yang Guang nodded repeatedly. He couldn't be more satisfied with Feng Deyi's suggestion. Seeing Wan He's panicked expression, Yang Guang also smiled, and the anger on his face suddenly disappeared. , nodded and said: "What Feng Aiqing said is very true, well, so, I will give my jade pendant to Wan Aiqing. This jade pendant is like my presence in person. Wan Aiqing has this jade pendant. If anyone dares to disobey the order, everyone will How about punishing the crime of deceiving the emperor, Wan Aiqing, so you can finally take over this important task, right?"
Although Yang Guang was asking for Wan He's opinion, everyone could tell that Wan He could never say "no". In the end, Wan He could only bow to Yang Guang with a wry smile and said : "Since your Majesty has given orders, I should obey them."
And just after Wan He bowed down, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly on his downcast face. Although he seemed helpless on the surface, he was already happy in his heart. That's right, all of this was actually true. It was under Wan He's control, and he took advantage of Yang Guang's psychology to set up such a hard-to-get trap, waiting for Yang Guang to exploit it. And Yang Guang did not disappoint Wan He's expectations, not only handing over the trial of the entire case to After marrying Wan He, he also gave Wan He a jade pendant equivalent to Shang Fang's sword. Now Wan He made a lot of money.
