Dugu Changsu said coldly: "Master Yu, Wang Junlin led the army to Yanmen County to serve the king. His purpose is not simple. He mainly wants to seek the name of righteousness. If his achievements are recognized again, wouldn't it be fulfilling his wish.
"
Pei Shiju's eyes flashed, and he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, your words are wrong. Wang Jun came to save the Holy Emperor because he always thought that he was a Sui minister. It was only natural for Sui ministers to come to rescue him. If he didn't come to save him,
It would be difficult for him to explain to the people of the world? So he had to come, and he came. What's more, if he hadn't led the army to rescue us, I would have fallen into the hands of the Turks, or died in the hands of the rebels.
My uncle has no chance to be sarcastic here."
"Pei Shiju, don't try to make excuses." Dugu Changsu said angrily, "I'm just talking about the matter. You keep saying good things for Wang Junlin. Are you taking advantage of Wang Junlin?"
Pei Shiju's pupils shrank and he sneered: "My uncle Guo reacted so fiercely. Could it be that he wanted your majesty to send troops to attack King Junlin at all costs, and then make the Sui Dynasty completely chaotic? What do you think your Dugu family is trying to fish in troubled waters?
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not see it."
In terms of eloquence, Dugu Changsu is no match for Pei Shiju, and the Dugu clan is the best family in the world. Without the existence of strong men like Wang Junlin, Yang Guang would indeed be the first target to guard against. After all, how did his father Yang Jian seize the power from the previous dynasty?
He couldn't understand the country very well.
Dugu Changsu felt Yang Guang's cold glance at him, and his heart suddenly became awe-inspiring. Although his face was livid with anger, he was speechless for a long time. Pei Shiju's words were too vicious. No matter what he said at this time,
It would only make the emperor more suspicious of him.
Yang Guang glanced at Dugu Changsu coldly, then at Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju, and finally turned his attention to Yang Gongdao, who rarely spoke. Yang Gongdao was one of the few people except Yang Guang and his grandsons.
Most of his thoughts are based on maintaining the country, and he can hit the point every time, so Yang Guang likes to take him with him wherever he goes. However, Yang Gongdao is very smart and knows his identity.
He is most sensitive, and Yang Guang is also suspicious, so he rarely speaks. Even if Yang Guang doesn't take the initiative to ask him, he never speaks.
"Yang Shangshu, what's your opinion?"
Yang Gongdao pondered for a while, then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Master Yu's opinion, but I am not afraid of Wang Junlin, but because of the dignity of His Majesty the Emperor. Since Wang Junlin led the army to rescue Jia, no matter what the reason is,
The purpose is that the rescue is a fact, so it should be rewarded. Otherwise, there will be no reward for the great merit, especially for His Majesty’s great merit in rescuing the knight, and he is not rewarded, and the soldiers are fighting each other. The soldiers below do not know that Wang Junlin has the intention of treason, and they will definitely think wildly.
, shake the morale of the military."
Zhang Jike also said at the right time: "Your Majesty, I second my opinion. Only by showing the magnanimity of the Lord of the World can your Majesty make the army return home. Moreover, giving rewards to the Far East Army will also let the officers and soldiers of the Far East Army know that they are your Majesty's army, but not just the Far East Army."
This will also help to win over the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Far East Army, making them feel that they are serving His Majesty rather than serving Wang Junlin. If His Majesty does not recognize Wang Junlin's achievements, it will be tantamount to denying the achievements of the Far East Army.
, I believe that this will completely push the Far East Army to Wang Junlin, and there will be no room for recovery in the future, so I mean, I can bypass Wang Junlin and reward the Far East Army officers and soldiers with property, money and food, and give Wang Junlin some false reputation.
If you block the mouths of the people in the world, if you do this once and for all, the Far Eastern Army will still be the Sui army."
Yang Guang thought for a moment and nodded happily. Yang Gongdao and Zhang Jike spoke very thoroughly, and they also spoke to his heart. In fact, he was in Yanmen City, and the loyalty of the army outside the city was very limited to him. This
Under such circumstances, he had no confidence whatsoever in fighting Wang Junlin, and he always felt unsafe.
And what Zhang Jike said was to reward the Far East Army as the main one and Wang Junlin as the auxiliary. This is indeed a clever move.
However, Yang Guang did not say his decision immediately. After scanning the ministers, he said calmly: "Zhang Jike and Yang Gongdao will stay, and everyone else should leave first!"
"Your Majesty, please retire." All the ministers with different expressions bowed respectfully and retreated.
Only Yang Guang, Yang Gongdao, and Zhang Jike were left in the study. Yang Guang slowly said to them: "Although Dugu Changsu is my uncle, he puts the interests of the Dugu family first. Now our Sui Dynasty is on the verge of collapse. Dugu Changsu
It is normal for families to have dissent. Pei Shiju comes from a wealthy family like Wenxi Pei Shi. Although he has no intention of rebellion, he must have selfish motives. Yu Shiji likes to exercise power and is no longer able to share my worries. Only Yang Gongdao, you are
It is rare for a royal family to have a clear mind, and Zhang Aiqing, you were born in a poor family. You were my staff when I was still the prince, and I trust you the most. I think you may have something to say, so you can continue talking now."
"Thank you for your majesty's trust. I will serve your majesty to the best of my ability." Zhang Jike sighed secretly, feeling a little guilty and not knowing what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, Yang Gongdao sighed and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. I believe that Wang Junlin does have the intention to rebel, and is probably the biggest threat to our Sui Dynasty, but now he will only be a separatist vassal town."
, even if we want to conquer the world, it will only be after our Sui Dynasty is completely in chaos. Therefore, as long as your majesty can turn the tide, pacify the rebels in the world, and restore stability to our Sui Dynasty, Wang Junlin's ambition can be curbed. I think that even if we have to completely eradicate it,
Him, but definitely not now, otherwise it will only make all the rebels in the world happy and give them the opportunity to grow stronger, and powerful families such as the Dugu family will also secretly plot evil."
Yang Guang nodded. Yang Gongdao mentioned his biggest worry. He turned to Zhang Jike and asked: "Zhang Aiqing, what do you think?"
Zhang Jike had already used the time just now to think about what to say, and immediately said solemnly: "I believe that Wang Junlin may have the intention of supporting the Sui Dynasty's self-reliance, and as far as I know, he also has the support of Fanyang County officials and people, but at the same time he has
He is also a constraint, which prevents him from openly rebelling. His expansion of the six counties in Hebei Province is the best example. In this way, Your Majesty can let him go temporarily and win him over first, just to take advantage of his evil reputation.
I want to frighten the young people in the world, wait until your majesty has exterminated all the rebels in the country one by one, and the situation in the country has stabilized, and then I will turn around and wipe out Wang Junlin in one fell swoop. I think this is the best way."
Yang Guang sighed lightly, looked at Zhang Jike and Yang Gongdao with admiration, and said sincerely: "I am a fan of the authorities. Thanks to the reminders of my two dear friends, I suddenly woke up. I know what to do, so I will follow your words.
I will win over him first, and after I have destroyed all the other rebels and the world is at peace, I will then gather a large army to annihilate him in one fell swoop."
Zhang Jike and Yang Gongdao quickly and respectfully said in unison: "Your Majesty is both wise and powerful."
As he habitually sang the praises of Yang Guang, Zhang Jike couldn't help but secretly thought: "This Sui Dynasty is completely rotten. Even if His Majesty returns to the wise and powerful spirit he had when he was the prince, it will be difficult to pacify all the rebels and bring peace to the world. How can he still do it?"
Wait until you gather your troops to attack the prince."
