Chapter 816: There is no silver here, three hundred taels
When Yang Guang heard this, his eyes flashed, and he hesitated in his heart, but in the end he snorted coldly and said to the commander of the Ouchi guards: "Find the traitor who arranged for this assassin to enter the palace immediately. If you can't find it again, you can just raise your head."
Come and see me!”
The commander of the guards was overjoyed when he heard this and said quickly: "Thank you for not killing me, Your Majesty. I will definitely find the assassin's traitor."
When the guard commander went out, he glanced at Wang Junlin gratefully.
Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu stayed to continue treating Ashina Dojishi, while Yang Guang, escorted by the guards, went to the front hall to continue hosting the banquet.
But not long after, the guard commander quickly came to the main hall, came to Yang Guang's side, and told Yang Guang something in a low voice. Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "If you make a mistake, you don't have to live anymore?
"
The commander of the guards said quickly: "I promise with my head that I will never make a mistake."
Yang Guang pondered for a moment, sighed, and ordered: "Don't disturb others. Call Wang Junlin and King Qi to the back hall."
Empress Xiao next to her felt something was wrong, so she asked: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
"Your son did a good job."
Yang Guang left a word and walked towards the back hall. Empress Xiao's expression changed and she quickly followed, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Wang Junlin had been waiting for someone to call him, and ordered Nie Xiaoyu to continue doing some unknown things about Ashina Dojishi here, and then followed the chamberlain to see Yang Guang.
…
In the back hall, Yang Guang was sitting on a soft couch with half-closed eyes listening to the testimony of the Ouchi guard.
This Ouchi guard was the person who had been replaced by the King of Killers and was responsible for the security of that area. The guard commander easily found him and threatened him with death. He was afraid and told the truth about the matter.
He knelt on the ground and glanced timidly at Queen Xiao next to him. He hesitated to speak, as if he didn't dare to say anything. Yang Guang woke up and smiled at Queen Xiao: "The Queen is having a birthday party today. She should be in the front hall at this time.
It’s better to be wished a birthday by all the guests.”
How could Queen Xiao go to rest? She shook her head, refused to leave, and shouted to the guard: "As long as you tell the truth, even if it involves me, I will never blame you."
Yang Guang had no choice but to say to the guard: "Keep talking!"
"yes!"
The guard hesitated for a moment, and then continued tremblingly: "When we were setting up the venue for the riding and shooting competition tonight, a eunuch said that he had found a humble position on the order of the empress and asked someone to replace him. The humble minister did not dare to refuse, so he agreed.
.Now it seems that the person who took the humble position is the assassin who assassinated Duke An of Qin."
Yang Guang glanced at Queen Xiao and said, "Queen, is this eunuch sent by you?"
Queen Xiao shook her head and said, "I never sent anyone to do this."
"Then who sent this eunuch?" Yang Guang became a little angry and dared to pretend to be the queen to deliver the order.
Empress Xiao was secretly worried. She already knew that this must be the work of the old eunuch beside him and King Yang Jian of Qi. However, Wang Junlin had just been assassinated and saved the Turkic prince, which was considered a great achievement. So she did not dare at this time.
Keep quiet, she wants to intercede for Yang Xin at the critical moment, and if she gets involved too early, no one will be able to help her son.
The commander of the guards bowed and said: "Your Majesty, someone saw the eunuch who falsely conveyed the palace's will and His Highness the King of Qi together."
"King Qi?"
Although Yang Guang had guessed it, his face immediately darkened. He glanced at Queen Xiao inadvertently, and then ordered: "Go and urge King Qi immediately and ask him to come see me immediately!"
A guard rushed away, and then a eunuch came at the door and reported: "Your Majesty, the king is here, waiting for his summons!"
Yang Guang sighed and said: "Announce his appearance!"
Wang Junlin walked into the inner hall under the guidance of a eunuch, saluted Yang Guang respectfully, and said: "I, the king, have come to see Your Majesty and the Queen!"
Yang Guang nodded and said to Wang Junlin: "Wang Aiqing will wait aside for now. I will make the decision on your assassination."
At this time, a report came from outside, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qi has arrived."
"Let this scoundrel come in!"
King Qi Yang Zhen walked in in a hurry. He was very nervous. He had already guessed what had happened, but Yang Zhen still had a trace of luck in his heart.
"My son, please see your father!"
Yang Guang also liked this second son who looked exactly like himself, but he did not dote on his son like Empress Xiao. He was a father. The so-called loving mother and strict father, he needed to be stricter with his son, but he was usually busy with affairs and did not have time to spend time with his two sons.
When getting along with his two sons, he didn't know much about the details of their growth and education, and he didn't care enough about them.
"Jier, I ask you, why did you send someone to fake the Queen Mother's order and arrange for assassins to dress up as guards to assassinate Wang Junlin?"
Yang Xian was shocked in his heart, but he looked stunned and said loudly and innocently: "Father, where do you start talking about this? I didn't find anyone to assassinate Wang Junlin."
Yang Jian flatly denied it. The eunuch who was sent to deliver the order to the imperial guards had been silenced and the assassin had run away. As long as he refused to admit it, his father would not be able to do anything to him. Yang Jian's attitude made Yang Guang a little uncomfortable.
Yue, this is already obvious, but his son still wants to deny it. He said coldly: "Niezi, do you dare to quibble in front of me?"
"Father, I don't know, I really don't know about this!"
Yang Jian also became anxious. He knelt down and kowtowed and cried: "Father, there have been many assassins visiting the son's house recently, and several servants have disappeared. The eunuch who went to pretend to convey the mother's wishes to the guards may have disappeared in the past few days.
One of the servants. This is someone with ulterior motives who wants to fake my name and frame it for my father, my father. I really didn’t do this!"
Yang Xian burst into tears, but he was not facing his soft-hearted and doting mother, but the Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, who was no stranger to intrigues among princes. Yang Guang immediately heard Yang Xian's flaw,
Just now, he never mentioned that there was a eunuch who falsely conveyed the Queen's will, but Yang Xian revealed the matter. So how did he know the specific process? Isn't it obvious that this was a good thing he did? And it made Yang Guang even more
What angered him was Yang Xian's stupidity of "there is no three hundred taels of silver here".
Yang Guang sneered slightly and shouted: "Really? How do you know that someone's family said that your mother's order was to replace the assassin? After you came in, no one told you about this. Did the guards tell you?"
"this……"
Yang Jian was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment, but now that the matter had come to this, he had no choice but to refuse to admit it and cried: "Father, this is the news that I just heard from before my son came here."
