"Announce their presence!" Yang Guang's tone was filled with resentment.
In the temporary palace, Yang Guang sat in front of the case with a sullen face, his eyes as cold as ice, and he was still thinking about the prophecy that had just been circulated in his mind.
"A king with a different surname rules the world, sits in the Far East, and dominates overseas. When the Sui family is destroyed, he becomes the emperor."
This is undoubtedly talking about Wang Junlin. To be honest, although Li Mi danced very well, Yang Guang really didn't take it seriously. The reason was that he had the same idea as Dugu Changsu.
In Yang Guang's view, Li Mi couldn't achieve anything by relying on those weaklings, but Wang Junlin was different. Although Wang Junlin did not get the support of the wealthy family, and even stood on the opposite side of the wealthy family, Wang Junlin was too special.
Wang Junlin has created too many miracles over the years.
The founder of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Qiufu, whose surname was different, was exterminated when Wang Junlin was just a captain of Guoyi.
Yang Su, the number one man in the army, was tricked to death by him and his entire clan was exterminated.
Gao Ying, the first hero of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Yang Liang, the king of Han Dynasty, rebelled against each other twice, but Wang Junlin turned the tables and killed them both.
Not to mention Goguryeo Yuan Taejo.
In addition, his close confidant Yu Wenshu also died at the hands of Wang Junlin.
Both the Western Turks and the Eastern Turks suffered great losses at the hands of Wang Junlin, and the Western Turks are even to this day torn apart.
Even Tuyuhun was destroyed because of Wang Junlin.
As for the Annan Kingdom of Goguryeo, there are thousands of islands overseas...
Needless to say, five thousand men wiped out three hundred thousand bandits from various counties in Henan, and the fourteen thieves were hacked to pieces with thousands of swords.
These characters or forces were all the most powerful and powerful in the world, but they all died or were destroyed in the hands of Wang Junlin.
Therefore, these illustrious deeds determine that Wang Junlin is the person Yang Guang fears the most.
Is it really Wang Junlin who destroyed our Sui Dynasty?
When Dugu Changsu received the news, Yang Guang also received an express report from Shanggu County and Donglai County. Wang Junlin's army not only controlled Shanggu County, but also deliberately drove the Shanggu County rebels to Donglai County, and then used this as an excuse.
After taking control of Donglai County, he was furious and immediately ordered Dugu Changsu and others to discuss sending troops to conquer Wang Junlin.
But now half an hour has passed, and Yang Guang has slowly calmed down. Wang Junlin is different from any other rebels. It is not impossible to conquer Wang Junlin, but it involves too many problems, or difficulties.
He had to think clearly about troop strength, supplies, troop dispatch routes, political influence, etc. The difficulty of attacking Wang Junlin was even higher than that of attacking Goguryeo. It was not comparable to those of Wagangzhai and other rabble-rousers. Even if Yang Guang regained his perverted self-confidence in the past,
, and have to admit that it is almost impossible to defeat Wang Junlin in one battle.
The most important thing is that he can no longer afford to lose. If he gathers the last army of the Sui Dynasty and loses to Wang Junlin, then his empire will probably fall apart immediately.
At this time, Yang Guang no longer had the same pride and vigor as when he decided to attack Goryeo in the seventh year of Daye. Now the world was in chaos, rebellions were rising, the country was exhausted, morale was low, and the country was unstable, which made him worry too much.
Yang Guang regretted a little. The first expedition to Goguryeo ended the year before last, and when Wang Jun came to Luoyang to receive the reward, he should have accepted the persuasion or hints of Yuwen Shu, Dugu Changsu, the Queen and his second son Yang Jian, and directly sent him to Luoyang City.
Surround and kill.
At this time, some important ministers in the palace had arrived, including Pei Shiju, Xiao Yu and Yang Gongdao. Xiao Yu was the younger brother of Queen Xiao. He was an upright man and won the trust of Yang Guang. He replaced Wei Wensheng as the Prime Minister and is currently the Minister of Internal Affairs.
At this time, Dugu Changsu and Yu Shiji came in, and they bowed and saluted: "I see your Majesty!"
Yang Guang looked back at the crowd. The seven ministers of the cabinet and the five ministers had arrived. Except for Fan Zigai and Pei Shiyun, who were assisting the emperor's eldest son in Luoyang, the seven ministers who accompanied him were all here. These five people he had always trusted.
people.
He glanced at Yu Shiji and Dugu Changsu, his eyes paused on Dugu Changsu, nodded to them, and said: "You two love me!"
"My dear friends, I have called you here because I can't wait any longer. I have just received news that Wang Junlin's army has occupied Shanggu County and Donglai County. I have called you here now because I want to discuss it with you.
How to deal with Wang Junlin's expansion is of great importance, and I hope everyone can do their best to come up with effective countermeasures!"
"His Majesty!"
The first one to speak was Dugu Changsu. He took a step forward and said with a solemn face: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true, 'A king with a different surname will dominate the world, sit in the Far East, and dominate overseas. If the Sui family is destroyed, he will become the emperor.'
I believe that this prophecy fulfills Wang Junlin's wild ambitions. There is no doubt about Wang Junlin's disobedience. Therefore, I believe that Wang Junlin will undoubtedly rebel. I believe that the imperial court must use all the strength of the country to destroy Wang Junlin's Far East Army.
We must never give him another chance to develop and grow."
As soon as Dugu Changsu finished speaking, Yu Shiji said: "Your Majesty, I do not agree with your uncle's wishes. It is absolutely impossible to devote all the efforts of the whole country!"
Dugu Changsu did not expect that Yu Shiji, whom Yang Guang trusted the most, would be the first to speak out against him. This made him feel shocked and thought of many things. Yu Shiji and Su Wei were among the few who came from middle-class nobles, but could reach the top of the world.
Although Su Wei had been in a high position for a lifetime, he was old and did not have the emperor's trust, while Yu Shiji was only in his forties and was the emperor's first favorite, so he had a very important voice in the emperor's heart.
Therefore, Dugu Changsu immediately felt wary and immediately retorted: "Master Yu, don't you know how powerful Wang Junlin's Far East Army is? Or do you think that what Wang Junlin is doing now is not a rebellion? Are there all kinds of rebels in the world?
Is there any rebel who is a greater threat than Wang Junlin? Do you have to wait until he controls the entire six counties in Hebei and seizes the counties in Shandong before you think he is a rebel and send troops to attack?"
Yu Shiji asked himself that his debating skills were unparalleled in the world. Every word he said would be followed by manuscripts to prove or set off. The same was true at this time. He smiled leisurely and said: "Uncle Guo is the head of the Guanlong clan.
, don’t be anxious, listen to what I have to say.”
Yu Shiji specifically pointed out his identity as the head of the Guanlong Clan. Dugu Changsu's face suddenly changed slightly. Yang Guang must not be allowed to think of this at this time, otherwise with Yang Guang's suspicious character, it would be difficult for him to achieve his goal today.
Sure enough, Yang Guang glanced at him, with a gloomy meaning deep in his eyes.
Dugu Changsu secretly scolded Yu Shiji's understatement for being extremely vicious, but his face immediately returned to normal and he snorted coldly: "Master Yu, please tell me, no matter what you say, it will be difficult to remove Wang Junlin's intention to rebel."
