"Wantless, how can you and the thirteen others plead for mercy for the crime of beating the prince? Moreover, you are His Majesty's ministers and receive salary from the imperial court. You actually plead for mercy for the guilty minister for your own selfishness. How can you and others Qin An
The Hou's retainers are useless." Yang Su, the Duke of Yue who had been silent for a long time, finally said the most important words at the most appropriate time.
Wang Junlin could think that asking for mercy from the thirteen sons of a poor family would be counterproductive. How could Yang Su not know that he would naturally make a fuss about this.
"Humph, officials from a wealthy family put the interests of the family first. Although I am resentful, I can't help it. But in the hearts of thirteen people like you who are from untouchable backgrounds, is the Marquis of Qin'an more important than me and the imperial court?" Yang Su's words can be said to be true.
The effect was immediate. Even though Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty knew that Yang Su had ulterior motives, he still couldn't help but feel extremely angry. At this time, he saw the performances of officials from various factions in the court, especially Dou Shicai, who seemed to intercede for Wang Junlin on behalf of the thirteenth son of a poor family.
This made him make up his mind, and finally waved his hand and said: "Where is the Prince of Qin'an?"
Wang Junlin immediately stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and said, "I am here."
Yang Jian said with a cold expression: "Wang Junlin, do you know your guilt?"
Wang Junlin said with a face of shame: "I know that I have committed a serious crime by beating the King of Han. Please punish me."
Seeing Wang Junlin's attitude, Yang Jian's expression softened slightly, thinking that no matter what, this person would always be more loyal to me than those officials who came from a wealthy family.
"According to my decree, the prince of Qin'an came and led someone to seriously injure the prince. The crime cannot be pardoned and he should be executed according to the law. However, in view of his meritorious service to the court, he will be given a lighter punishment. He will be dismissed from all official positions and stay in the capital to reflect on his faults behind closed doors. He will also be fined for three years.
." Yang Jian said loudly, slightly confused.
Wang Junlin quickly cooperated and showed tears of gratitude. He knelt down and said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness, your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
Yang Jian was very satisfied with Wang Junlin's reaction, while Yang Su looked unwilling. But then he thought that since Wang Junlin had lost the emperor's favor, lost his official position, and could not leave Kyoto, it would not be easy to deal with him.
.
…
After announcing his resignation, Wang Junlin strode outside the palace without waiting for anyone. The stone steps leading to the outside of the palace were very long. The guards at the entrance of the palace still had dead faces and glanced around sharply.
Keep it open to prevent irrelevant people from approaching.
Wang Junlin walked out of the palace gate and looked back. His eyes were filled with coldness. At this moment, everything in the palace in front of him seemed to be normal, but at the same time everything seemed different.
After beating the King of Han, especially the scene in the court just now, Wang Junlin saw a lot of things clearly. For example, if something like this happened to an important figure from a wealthy family like Qizong and Five Surnames today and the King of Han, His Majesty would definitely have to deal with it.
There are many fears, at least he would never dare to have murderous intentions several times. For example, if Wang Junlin comes from a wealthy family and these thirteen officials from a poor family are attached to him, although the emperor is equally angry, he will never treat Wang Junlin because of this.
Such an attitude.
In short, Wang Junlin came to a conclusion - in today's world, no matter in the world, in the court, or in the Immortal Hidden Sect, everything is dominated by the weak and the strong. If Wang Junlin didn't have some strength and means that His Highness would value today,
, His Majesty the Emperor is afraid, I am afraid that no matter how great the achievements are, the ending will be tragic.
Even though Gao Ying, a famous Prime Minister of his generation, was full of peach blossoms and had a very high reputation among the world's scholars, he was dismissed as soon as he was dismissed, his title was reduced, and he was demoted to a commoner. Neither Empress Dugu nor Yang Jian had much scruples. The reason why
This is because Gao Ying did not come from a wealthy family like the Seven Sects and Five Surnames.
On the contrary, today's Yang Su's behavior is similar to that of Gao Ying in the past. He also supports the prince with a clear-cut stance, controls a lot of power in the court, and is a powerful official. Yang Jian is also very unhappy with Yang Su, but why is Yang Su still stable?
Sitting firmly in the position of Gao Ying in the past - Shangshu Youpushe, which is equivalent to the position of prime minister.
This is because Yang Su is the grandson of Yang Xuan, the admonishing official of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the son of Yang Fu, the hussar general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was born in the famous Hongnong Yang family in the Northern Dynasties. He is even the current patriarch of the Hongnong Yang family. Not to mention that he himself served in the military and
How many disciples are there in the court? The Hongnong Yang family has been running the business for hundreds of years. Whether in the court, in the army, or among the scholars and the people, they all hide huge power or influence, forcing Emperor Yang Jian to
Neither dared to act rashly.
In fact, in the original history, Yang Guang was domineering and forced Yang Su to death, which made Yang Su's children and grandchildren rebel. Later, when Yang Guang personally led the army to the eastward expedition to Goryeo, the Hongnong Yang family raised a flag to rebel.
In just one month, hundreds of thousands of troops were gathered. If Yang Su's children and grandchildren were not one-tenth as talented as Yang Su, the country of Sui Dynasty would have changed hands by that time.
It is conceivable that in today's world, the power of aristocratic families can be described as a tree with deep roots and luxuriant branches, which is enough to scare the emperor. In fact, in the original history, in the late Sui Dynasty, all the heroes were vying for the throne. The reason why Tang Gong Li Yuan was able to
One of the main reasons for standing out, defeating all the heroes and conquering the world was that he received the full support of his family, the Li family of Longxi, and the support of the vast majority of Guanlong nobles and Shandong nobles.
At the moment when he walked out of the palace, the idea of increasing his power and strength had quietly been decided in Wang Junlin's heart.
…
…
At this time, before noon, the early spring sunshine was bright and the temperature was suitable. Standing under the willow tree on the side of the main entrance of the palace, holding a sword, the beautiful woman with an expression as cold as a sculpture became a strange scenery.
Wang Junlin did not expect that Nie Xiaoyu would be waiting for him in front of the palace gate, and she still looked like a cold and chivalrous woman holding a sword. After being slightly startled, he smiled, strode over, and said: "Why are you waiting here?
I'm sorry, you are so good-looking, what if someone else covets you again, and if they want to woo you but fail, they will rob you, and end up being beaten by you again, wouldn't it make me unlucky again in the end?"
Nie Xiaoyu looked at Wang Junlin expressionlessly and said: "From yesterday evening to this morning, I heard every word Ye Ying and others said in the mansion. The human being I beat was a prince, a prince.
, I heard that you were almost arrested by the emperor. So I am waiting here. If you are really arrested by the emperor, I will find a way to rescue you. I just stood here and have made several rescue plans. "
Nie Xiaoyu had no expression when she said these words, even coldly, but because he knew her details, Wang Junlin felt a touch of warmth from this cold body. He couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Nie Xiaoyu.
No matter what kind of reaction Wang Junlin's move caused in Nie Xiaoyu's system or in his heart, Wang Junlin waved his hand and said casually: "Go home!"
