Amid rumors, doubts and reviles, Yang Guang finally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
And on the morning of the first day after Yang Guang officially ascended the throne, the troublemakers arrived.
The leader was the loyal and filial king, Wu Jianzhang.
Speaking of Wu Jianzhang, he is also a character who can smell and cover farts under the covers.
But since he was crowned the king, he had nothing to do with the normal affairs of the court. Although he occasionally went to court, it was just a symbolic appearance to show his presence.
For example, when Yang Jian was seriously ill this time, Old Man Wu was not recruited to take care of him. Therefore, Old Man Wu did not know how Yang Jian died.
Although the former prince Yang Yong had been in the capital, his death was so sudden without any warning, and Old Man Wu didn't know why.
However, these are not the key points. The key point is that we must take this opportunity to let Yang Guang see the power of the family.
If you want to reform, you can, but you can't offend the vested interests of our aristocratic families.
Back then, old man Yang Jian was so popular that he had to stop you from completing the half-completed imperial examination. Yang Guang was just a milk baby, and his butt was not yet firmly seated, not to mention there were several lumps of shit under his butt, so he actually wanted to do it.
Thing, this is too disrespectful to our seniors, Dayuan.
Old man Wu was very cruel. On the first day of his morning court, he did not wear court clothes. Instead, he was dressed in plain clothes, wearing sackcloth and mourning, and he also held a mourning stick in his hand.
Surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, Yang Guang had just entered the Jinluan Palace. Before he could sit down, an old man dressed in filial piety had already left his duties and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, I have your Majesty, Wu Jianzhang, I have a memorial for you."
According to normal procedures, on the first morning of the emperor's court after ascending the throne, all officials should come to express their congratulations. If there are any troubles, they will have to wait a few days before discussing.
Although Old Man Wu's outfit today is not festive enough, after all, Old Man Yang Jian has only passed his first seven days, so it makes sense to continue wearing Xiao.
Yang Guang didn't pay much attention to this. Instead, he said in a friendly manner, "Oh, bring it up quickly."
The chamberlain presented the memorial. When Yang Guang opened it and took a look, he was a little dumbfounded.
But at the beginning, Mr. Wu wrote, "The cause of Emperor Wen's death is unknown, and the prince died without reason."
Then, next, Old Man Wu began to enumerate Yang Guang's crimes, including killing his father, killing his brother, bullying his mother, teasing his sister, favoring evil spirits, being extremely vicious, etc.
I have to admit that Old Man Wu is quite talented, and he is also familiar with historical allusions, and he put all the descriptions of faint kings in history on Yang Guang.
However, there is one thing that Old Man Wu did very poorly, that is, he went off topic.
Old Man Wu's original intention was to use these reasons to put a few shit basins on Yang Guang's head to suppress Yang Guang's arrogance.
After Yang Guang was deceived, he would then use his trump card and mention the imperial examination. Thinking about it, as long as he showed a little expression, he could be generous and not pursue Yang Guang's previous crimes, and only ask Yang Guang to make concessions in the imperial examination. Yang Guang would
The little baby should have given in immediately.
The so-called asking for a high price and paying back the money when you get there is probably the same.
He wrote more than ten pages eloquently, seemingly so smoothly that in the end, Old Man Wu actually forgot about the most important thing, the imperial examination.
Resisting the urge to kill people, Yang Guang read Old Man Wu's memorial from beginning to end and found that it was full of curses on him. Moreover, there were more tricks and more vicious words than the rumors on the street.
His eyes were red, like an angry bull. Yang Guang glared fiercely at His Highness Wu Jianzhang and said, "Old man Wu, what do you mean?"
"What? You dare to call me 'Old Man Wu'? How dare you, your father, Yang Jian, respectfully call me Prince Wu in front of me? You, Yang Guang, are just a milk baby. How dare you despise me like this?"
Yes, that’s not true.”…
At this moment, Old Man Wu completely ignored the cruel fact that he had scolded Yang Guang in the memorial, and instead questioned Yang Guangdao with a look of embarrassment and anger.
"Old man, you insult me so much, why can't I scold you?"
"Hunjun, you killed your father and regicide, plotted against your brother and your sister-in-law, and humiliated your mother and your sister. I can't say anything about what you did. Even if you can silence me, can you silence all the people in the world?"
Old Man Wu didn't mention the common people's opinions, but Yang Guang hadn't remembered it yet. Now that Old Man Wu mentioned it, Yang Guang immediately remembered that the rumors that had been circulating in the market some time ago seemed to be similar to what was written in Old Man Wu's memorial.
, but it’s not as elegant as what Old Man Wu wrote.
"Old man, in this case, all the rumors in the market are all caused by you?"
"What rumors? If you have done nothing, how can there be so many rumors in the public eye? You are a foolish king, a loser in human relations, and a disobedient person. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"
Old man Wu's original intention was that one or two of these rumors were always true. But no matter which one was true, your reputation as a coward would be ruined.
In fact, there is indeed one thing true in these rumors. That is, Yang Guang really "humiliated his mother" and even married two stepmothers at once.
Old Man Wu thought he was presenting facts and being reasonable, but when Yang Guang heard what he said, it was different.
Yang Guang asked whether Old Man Wu started the rumor. Therefore, in Yang Guang's view, as long as Old Man Wu did not deny it outright, it would be equivalent to acquiescence in the crime.
When he thought that the culprit of spreading rumors was right in front of him, and he was pointing at his own nose and scolding him, Yang Guang became furious and said, "Old man, if Er'an dares to bully me like this, do you think I have a steel knife?"
Unfavorable?"
"Come here, get this old man down and open his mouth."
At this time, Yang Guang hadn't murdered his heart, just thinking that the old man was fierce, and it was best to hit his life and couldn't take care of himself. After all, this old man was an official for decades.
, and more importantly, this old man’s relatives and friends are all over the government and the public, and he can’t move easily.
When Yang Guang said that he wanted to slap Old Man Wu in the mouth, he made Old Man Wu angry again.
Holding a mourning stick, Old Man Wu pointed at Yang Guang's nose and cursed angrily, "Foolish King, you married Mrs. Xuanhua without authorization and used your son to insult your mother. This is contrary to human ethics and sent Liu Shangshu to prison for his innocence. You persecute Zhongliang and are cruel to the little boy of the Yuwen family."
With just a face-to-face appearance, he was actually named a third-grade general... Wuwu."
A crisp slap in the face interrupted Old Man Wu's generous words, which only caused blood to spurt out of Old Man Wu's mouth, and a few big yellow teeth flew out of his mouth.
The one who beat him was none other than the right guard general, Yuwen Chengdu.
At this moment, Yuwen Chenglong, the general of the Left Guard, is not around, and the Left Guard is leaderless. Yang Guang's security duties are currently in charge of the Right Guard.
The right-back general Yuan Zhou was already old, and he knew that he was not Yang Guang's confidant, so he willingly retreated to the second line and gave up all the opportunities to his successor, the right-back general Yuwen Chengdu.
Although he had heard his grandfather and uncles talk about the internal and external developments during this period, Yu Wenchengdu did not care about these. Even if he listened, he would listen with one ear and forget with the other.
But there is one thing that Yuwen Chengdu has always kept in mind since he was a child, that is, he must not be disrespectful to his elder brother.
Now hearing this shameless old man Wu slandering his brother, Yuwen Chengdu immediately became angry. In addition, with Yang Guang's instructions, Yuwen Chengdu immediately rushed forward and slapped old man Wu in the face.
