Empress Xiao looked at Wu Xin with radiant colors and encouraging eyes...
There were all human beings present. Although they didn't know what "boiling a frog in warm water" meant, they could vaguely guess what Wu Xin wanted to say.
"Wei Chen had to find all kinds of things to eat by himself when it was difficult to eat."
Wu Xin said deliberately bitterly, causing everyone to think for a while. The two women, Queen Xiao and Chen Guiren, already had good feelings for Wu Xin, and they showed maternal pity.
Of course, Wu Xin said this deliberately, mainly to pave the way for "Yang Guang's idea of eradicating or weakening the gentry". Otherwise, Wu Xin himself is a gentry, and in turn deals with the gentry, which will inevitably make people think too much.
What kind of master would like an unfaithful, unjust and unfilial subordinate? He might bite him back at some point!
"Weichen has boiled frogs several times. Every time when the water was boiled and the frog was thrown in, the frog would jump out immediately, and often the boiling water would splash out and hurt himself. Later, when Weichen was boiling water, he would
When the frog is put in, the frog can't feel the scalding water and has no intention of resisting. When the water boils, the frog has been boiled to death without knowing it!" Wu Xin said immediately.
Everyone was silent. Although it was the first time they heard about this, they quickly figured out the meaning of Wu Xin's words.
Yang Guang frowned and said calmly: "When you throw the frog in, cover it in time so that the frog can't jump out!"
"The Holy One is wise!"
Wu Xin said repeatedly, and then, nothing more!
When everything comes to an end, are you really going against the Holy One and living impatiently?
In particular, in order to gain Yang Guang's trust, Wu Xin deliberately said the "two major cancers" in public, which will definitely cause a lot of trouble in the future.
After paying such a high price, Wu Xin had no intention of being a "remonstrator" before he got the expected harvest, let alone being stupid enough to go against Yang Guang!
"The Wu Qing family has quite a few ideas, please continue without any hesitation!"
Yang Guang smiled and shook his head. He also knew that his words were unreasonable, so he looked at Wu Xin encouragingly with great joy.
"The next step is this expedition..."
Wu Xin said with a hesitant look on his face, pretending to hesitate, and looked around, again keeping everyone present in mind.
After a pause. Seeing Yang Guang's brows furrowed and his face showing displeasure, Wu Xin quickly explained: "The Holy One is Heaven. If it only concerns the minister himself, the minister will die without any hesitation or scruple. It's just a matter of personal concern.
It’s important, so don’t reveal anything!”
Yang Guang's eyebrows softened slightly, he pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
"It's getting late now. Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body. I will take my leave!"
Everyone present understood and excused themselves, but the look in their eyes when they left basically looked at Wu Xin specifically, with different meanings.
Soon, there were only two women left, the prince, Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji, Pei Yun, Pei Ju and seven or eight others!
Seeing the ministers retiring one by one, and only Yu Wenshu and others were left, Yang Guang asked calmly: "Can you tell me? Or do you have to report to me separately?"
Yu Wenshu and others understood Yang Guang's intention and showed their grateful and moved expressions in cooperation.
"You sirs are the pillars of the Sui Dynasty, and your loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth!"
Wu Xin took the lead and spoke continuously, leaving the minister behind to reassure him, and then quickly continued:
"Your Majesty! The Duke of Chu, the Minister of Rites, and Mr. Yang want to rebel!"
"Um?!"
The atmosphere condensed. Yang Guang showed an angry look on his face, while Empress Xiao and Chen Guiren also looked startled.
Without waiting for Yang Guang and others to react, Wu Xin quickly continued with a firm and confident tone:
"Wei Chen is willing to take the military order. As long as the Holy Emperor leads the army out of the pass, the Duke of Chu will rebel. If he does not rebel at that time, Wei Chen is willing to be punished by a thousand swords!"
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, confused, surprised and asked solemnly: "How did Wu Qing's family know?"
Yang Guang has many intelligence organizations in his hands, either openly or secretly, including those of the Holy Sect, the Righteous Sect, the Demonic Sect, major aristocratic families and other forces. He must obey them when needed. As long as Yang Guang wants to know, he can find out.
.
There have long been rumors that the Duke of Chu planned to rebel, but after careful and repeated investigations, it was finally confirmed to be rumors.
For this expedition, Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Chu, was responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass. If it was true, the impact would naturally be huge!
"The humble minister acted recklessly, please be punished by the Holy One!"
Wu Xin apologized loudly and quickly explained: "On the way to his appointment, Wei Chen encountered many forces such as the Righteous, Buddhist, and noble clans who continued to kill him. In order to save his life, he had no choice but to join the Demon Sect. Now he is a true disciple of the Heavenly Demon Palace and can share the information of the Demon Sect!
"
"Magic gate information?"
Yang Guang murmured in confusion and surprise, and looked at Empress Xiao, but saw that Empress Xiao was also confused and surprised, and felt a little relieved.
Visiting the Holy One is not something you can do casually. Applicants need to go through strict scrutiny, and all details, including ancestors and relatives, etc., are included in the scope of the review. Only if everything is correct in the end will they be allowed.
Wu Xin is one of the four new evildoers, and he has become famous. Everything about him, from childhood to adulthood, has been investigated for a long time. Yang Guang did not understand it carefully, but he also knew some important things!
"Queen Xiao is really the spy of the demon sect? No wonder she is full of good intentions. It should be Queen Xiao who has contributed this time. Otherwise, with her identity, she will be sent to die, and she will definitely not see Yang Guang! As the mother of a country, and with this
He is known all over the world for being gentle and virtuous, so how can he have nothing to do with the Demon Sect?"
Wu Xin was quite surprised and thought about it, then he explained loudly and consciously:
"Your Majesty! There is no conclusive evidence of the Demon Sect's intelligence, but various clues are enough to prove it. Even the ministers guaranteed with their lives that the Chu Guild rebelled in Liyang and plotted to make the eastern capital Luoyang as fast as possible.
Keep your foothold!"
"Oh? I didn't expect that Wu Qing's family also studied deduction and divination!" Yang Guang said with a half-smile, but he couldn't tell his specific thoughts.
Wu Xin's face was full of loyalty, and he said solemnly: "Wei Chen is scared! Wei Chen is just a reckless man, and has never been involved in divination. However, Wei Chen has no conclusive evidence, so he can only gamble with his life. As a minister, he can do anything for the king."
It is an honor to be loyal!"
Yang Guang frowned in deep thought and remained silent.
Empress Xiao secretly sighed. She was the one who understood Yang Guang best. She took the initiative and asked meaningfully: "Wuhua, the prime minister of Dongdu County, is the grandfather of Wu Qing's family, right?"
The sound is warm and slightly sticky, and it sounds extremely comfortable, just like the sounds of nature.
"Yes! However, the governor of Dongdu cannot be transferred back to Dongdu for the time being, otherwise, it will be easy to scare the snake!" Wu Xin promised frankly, and implicitly stated that he had no selfish intentions, at least not to save his grandfather Wu Hua!
"If... I let the Wu Qing family lead the army to destroy the Wu family. Will the Wu Qing family agree?"
Yang Guang frowned slightly, stared at Wu Xin with sharp eyes, and asked in a slow tone, but every word was like a drum.
"Do you want to be so deceitful? Ask questions that are difficult to answer..."
Wu Xin opened his mouth. His mental strength was overloaded and he couldn't answer for a moment.
This is definitely a temptation, but no matter how you answer it, you can’t answer it well. If you are not careful, your previous efforts will be in vain. It may even lead to death!
Agreeing and following Yang Guang's wishes seems to be the best answer, and vice versa.
However, can a person be trusted who would ruthlessly attack his own family?
Looking at Yang Guang, he is not as fatuous and incompetent as the rumors say, which is definitely a misinformation, but is actually extremely wise and wise.
Does Yang Guang prefer cold-blooded and ruthless subordinates, or does he prefer subordinates who value affection and righteousness?
It’s really hard to say. Even Wu Xin doesn’t understand what he knew about Yang Guang in his past and present lives!
Finally, Jun Wu joked that Yang Guang should really have the idea of exterminating the ancient Wu clan.
This made Wu Xin even more frightened and worried, and he also vaguely guessed Yang Guang's purpose of letting bandits spread everywhere. As shown before, Yang Guang was confident to clean up the mess.
Heaven’s heart is unpredictable, your heart is like the sea!
Whether the strategy is right or not depends on the beholder and the wise! However, Yang Guang is a bit impatient and conceited.
"The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water! Although Wei Chen's days in the clan, from childhood to adulthood, he was always hovering on the line of life and death, which was extremely painful!"
Wu Xin couldn't make a choice. He could only answer bravely. After a pause, he continued: "However, blood is immutable, and loyalty to the emperor cannot be violated! It is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety, and a humble minister can only die to apologize!"
After finishing the words, he quickly added: "Of course. If it is other noble clans, I will never hesitate. Even if it cannot be completed, I will not hesitate to die!"
Wu Xin could not guess Yang Guang's temperament, but if he agreed, he would hate Yuwen Wudi at the door, Empress Xiao, Prince Yuande and other obviously well-intentioned people in front of him!
It's the lesser of two evils, the only choice is to take a gamble!
"hehe……"
Yang Guang chuckled, his goodwill diminished to the point of being inaudible, but there was no malice or murderous intent.
Overall, Yang Guang was dissatisfied with Wu Xin's answer, but he didn't mean to hate or stifle it either!
Wu Xin waited anxiously, and the seconds seemed like years...
The atmosphere was solemn and depressing, so silent that even the sound of breathing was inaudible.
"Wu Qing's family accepts the title!"
About a hundred breaths later, Yang Guang suddenly said loudly.
"Long live the Holy One!" Wu Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had barely overcome this difficulty!
"Wu Qing's family, brave and good at fighting, with extraordinary force, and meritorious service to the country, will be granted the title of general of the auxiliary country, special title of mad prince, rewarded with millions of gold, one pair of prefecture-level treasure armor and inner armor (sharp weapon level), and ten loads of jewelry.
Thousands of silks and satins, ten beauties!"
Yang Guang didn't try to whet his appetite, and soon solemnly preached. After a pause, he continued with a half-smile:
"The Zhang Qing family of Qi County has asked for merit for the Wu Qing family. There are only four words in the comment: Real warriors! The Wu Qing family remember to thank the Zhang Qing family!"
"Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor! I don't dare to take credit for it, let alone try to climb up to Master Zhang!"
Wu Xin sighed secretly, pretended to be excited and responded loudly, expressing his position in a vague way. He thanked him again:
"Thank you, Lord, for your grace. Long live the Holy One!"
Auxiliary generals are only generals below the sixth rank.
The Holy Lord personally canonized it, this grade is really too low, the price has dropped!
This is the price for not satisfying Yang Guang when Wu Xin answered before!
Otherwise, if you don't have a third- or fourth-grade general, you should have a fifth-grade general!
Because Wu Xin himself is a sixth-grade Sui official, and he also has a marquis. Apart from the no-grade marquis, he is the lowest-ranking marquis in the Sui Empire, which may make Wu Xin a joke!
As for the title of "Crazy Marquis", it is an affirmation and reward for Wu Xin's previous vicious remarks, expressions of loyalty, risking his life and rebellion, etc. It also includes Qijun's military merits and is a kind of protection for Wu Xin.
A mad lord is naturally extremely arrogant.
It's natural to say something arrogant and ignorant, so don't take it seriously!
Four monsters!
The monkey demon's fear, the sky demon's pride, the silver demon's violence, the martial demon's madness!
It’s completely settled!
In addition, the prefecture-level treasure armor and prefecture-level inner armor are another layer of protection for Wu Xin, lest Wu Xin be assassinated as soon as he leaves Linshuo Palace, and Yang Guang will also be embarrassed. Who dares to speak boldly?!
The bestowal has been given, which also indirectly means that it is time for Wu Xin to leave. Your Majesty is very busy and does not have time to see you for too long!
