The first thousand one hundred and sixty-three chapters shocked the government and the opposition
Yu Shiji said: "Your Majesty, I heard that after Wang Junlin led 10,000 cavalry to attack Pyongyang City, the leader of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, disappeared. Now Goguryeo is already in charge of Yeon Gaesumun, the son of Yuan Taizu, and the Yuan family is deeply rooted in Goguryeo.
No less than our seven sects and five surnames in the Sui Dynasty, my spies mentioned in a secret letter that Yuan Gaisuwen secretly sent an envoy to contact Wang Junlin and was willing to redeem Yuan Taizuo for five hundred thousand taels of silver."
Yang Guang's face suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly: "I will issue an order now to have Wang Junlin send Yuan Taizuo to Luoyang in a hurry of 800 miles."
Yu Shiji pretended to hesitate and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. My spies mentioned that Wang Junlin hired more than 40,000 pirates at sea to fight this battle, which depleted his savings for many years.
The loss was heavy. These 500,000 taels of silver may be extremely important to Wang Junlin. Although Wang Junlin did not dare to violate His Majesty's will openly, if he said that Yuan Taizuo had died of illness, he secretly exchanged it with Yuan Gaisuwen for 500,000 taels.
Silver, your Majesty can't do anything to him."
Yang Guang's face turned ugly again, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Did the spies you sent find that Wang Junlin had any disobedient intentions?"
Yu Shiji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, at least my spies did not find that Wang Junlin had any disobedient intentions, but Wang Junlin was already rebellious. My spies found out that he once said something when he humiliated the Fan Yang Lu family, saying,
He wants to build his own powerful family and replace the Lu family's position among the seven sects and five surnames. In addition, His Majesty also knows that Wang Junlin has a poisonous reputation all over the world and a fierce reputation. Such a person can be a tycoon, but there are absolutely no conditions.
He has no ability to plan for the world, so I conclude that Wang Junlin just wants to be a hero, and may have disobedient intentions, but he has no intention of being disobedient."
Yang Guang's face softened slightly. Are there few people in his world who have a disloyal heart? If Wang Junlin just wants to be a hero, but still his own minister, this is already considered a good thing. And he knows that Wang Junlin and Wang Junlin are
Yu Shiji had no friendship, and Yu Shiji usually slandered Wang Junlin, so he believed what Yu Shiji said. On the other hand, if Xu Jingzong, Shen Guang, or even Pei Shiju came today, he would be suspicious.
Seeing that his argument had been accepted by Yang Guang, Yu Shiji immediately struck while the iron was hot and said: "Your Majesty, there are rebellions and thieves in the world right now, and all the powerful families are ready to make moves. A sword as powerful as Wang Junlin must not be sheathed. And Wang Junlin has a powerful family.
As for the guest star of an aristocratic family, since Wang Junlin was born, the Qiu family of Changping, the Yu family of Guanlong were destroyed by him, the Yang family of Hongnong was severely damaged by him, and the Lu family of Fanyang lingered under his eyes. Now those untouchables in your majesty's world
An uprising and rebellion is just a small incident, and will be destroyed by His Majesty's army sooner or later. However, if a wealthy family raises its flag to rebel, it will subvert Your Majesty's empire. At that time, Your Majesty can use the sharp sword of Wang Junlin to kill them."
Yang Guang thought for a while and nodded. He was persuaded by Yu Shiji and said in a deep voice: "Then according to your wishes, how can I continue to hold Wang Junlin's sharp sword in my hand and use it for me?
I can make him obediently send Yuan Taizuo to Luoyang."
Yu Shiji immediately said: "Your Majesty, Wang Junlin is now fully fledged. At least the Annan County of Goguryeo is under his control. The 40,000 pirates who are still overseas have all escaped the control of the imperial court. Your Majesty forcibly issued an edict. If Wang Junlin does not
If he rebels, not only Fanyang County will be in danger, but even if Wang Junlin's rebellion is suppressed, Wang Junlin can go overseas and become an overseas king. I even heard that Wang Junlin has supported the Jin family in Goguryeo.
Founded the country in Annan County."
Yang Guang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "My love for you is that you want me to take advantage of this king's visit to make great achievements and reward him generously. Now that he is the Duke of the country, do you want to reward him as a king with a different surname?"
Yu Shiji quickly lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Junlin led the navy to conquer Goguryeo, which was originally based on your Majesty's will. Moreover, the Silla Kingdom and Baekje Kingdom were willing to send troops to ambush Yuan Taezuo with Wang Junlin, and it was not because Wang Junlin was behind the scenes.
With Your Majesty, I have the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, all of Wang Junlin's achievements in Goguryeo are related to Your Majesty. Your Majesty was planning and planning thousands of miles away. Why don't Your Majesty first see what Wang Junlin said when he reported his victory. If Wang Junlin has self-awareness,
Remember that behind all his great achievements are His Majesty’s calculations, Your Majesty will not be too late to reward him heavily after reading the contents of his report of victory and request for merit.”
Yang Guang looked at Yu Shiji with satisfaction and praised in his mouth: "Aiqing thinks of me wholeheartedly. I am very satisfied, so I will do as Aiqing said!"
…
…
Yu Shiji was able to convince Yang Guang, on the one hand because he had already figured out Yang Guang's mind and character, and on the other hand because he knew Yang Guang's current mood.
After returning from the disastrous expedition against Goguryeo, Yang Guang lost the face of his boss in front of the ninety-nine envoys from the tributary countries. Moreover, because of this failure, the beginning of the Eastern Turks, Khan Biqi, had some thoughts. Recently,
The Turks in the north are ready to move, and they have already harassed the border several times and looted border villages and towns.
In addition, there were constant uprisings in the world, and various noble families were secretly plotting against each other. Yang Guang also believed that it was the failure of the conquest of Goguryeo that caused his prestige to decline.
Therefore, Yang Guang couldn't wait to achieve some achievements and some celebrations to promote the prestige of the Sui Dynasty and restore his imperial prestige.
If Wang Junlin credits Yang Guang for the things he did in Goguryeo, then there will be a prisoner ceremony, 10,000 Goguryeo prisoners will be held, and then in front of the envoys from various countries, Yuantai, the culprit of the Sui army's defeat, will be killed.
Zuo will be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts... This kind of temptation is difficult for Yang Guang to refuse.
In short, Yang Guang needs a prisoner presentation ceremony to give him a face. Look, it is not under my Sui Dynasty, but there are also many talents. It only takes one county governor to turn Goguryeo upside down... and even split Goguryeo.
In order to form two countries, we, the Sui Dynasty, had countless talented people, while Goguryeo was nothing more than a mantis blocking the chariot.
Two days later, news of Wang Junlin's success reached Luoyang, shocking both the government and the public, and the whole country.
Today, after leading an army of one million to defeat Goguryeo, who would have thought that Wang Junlin would lead a navy of 30,000 to 40,000 people to actually occupy a county of Goguryeo, break through Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, and allow the leader of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, to escape in embarrassment.
Annihilated Goguryeo's 70,000-strong army and captured Goguryeo Prime Minister Yeon Taejo.
Since Wang Junlin was transferred to Fanyang County as the prefect two years ago, although many people in the government and various aristocratic families are still paying close attention to Wang Junlin, after all, Fanyang County is far away from the remote seaside and has faded out of the center of the Sui Dynasty to a certain extent.
The core, and the people of the world have not heard the news of the arrival of the Poison General King for a long time.
