At that time, the assassination case of the Emperor that was brought out by Wang Junlin not only resulted in the removal of the titles and official positions of the heads of the seven great clans of Guanlong, but also many officials of the seven great clans were dismissed or imprisoned. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Guang
Some of the cronies he had trained when he was the prince were put in. These people had been keeping a low profile and doing things normally for several months. This was the first time they had exerted their influence in the court.
At this point, if others still don't understand that these people's speech represents the emperor's intention, then they might as well go home and hang themselves.
The fifteen people who had just spoken suddenly felt panic, and some of the timid ones knelt on the ground with a thump. Some of the more intelligent people remembered that the impeachment of Wang Junlin a few days ago had been ignored by the emperor, and they had already fainted.
They understood that this was a trap, and that this trap must be related to Wang Junlin, the commander-in-chief of the Blue Guards. Moreover, these people came forward to suspect that the fifteen people who impeached Wang Junlin had accepted bribes from the Goguryeo people. This was probably just the beginning of the trap.
The censor surnamed Yuan who was the first to impeach Wang Junlin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am dedicated to serving the country and have absolutely no selfish motives. I have never accepted any bribes from the Goguryeo people. Your Majesty, please be careful.
"
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. Please investigate the matter and clear my name." Mr. Yu, the official, stood up and said solemnly, but many people saw fear in his eyes.
"His Majesty……"
…
At this time, the trend in the court suddenly changed, from wanting to convict King Junlin of Qin An to how the fifteen ministers who impeached King Junlin could prove that they had not accepted financial bribes from the Goguryeo people.
Witnessing the entire process of today's court meeting, Yang Guang had no expression on his face, but he was quite satisfied in his heart, because what happened in today's court meeting could be said to be directed and controlled by him. He liked this feeling very much. This is how he became the emperor.
For the first time since then, the court was completely under control, and Wang Junlin played an indispensable role in this.
Thinking of Wang Junlin, Yang Guang thought of the two things Wang Junlin handed him when he entered the palace the night before yesterday. He waved his hand and a eunuch took out a folding book from his sleeve. He walked down and handed it to the officials who were standing in front of him.
Yu Wenshu and Su Wei opened their mouths, and Dugu Changsu.
Yu Wenshu took the fold and opened it with confusion. After a moment, the expression on his face became a little strange, and he handed the fold to Su Wei. After reading it, Su Wei sighed secretly in his heart, but did not show it on his face.
Silk
He handed it to Dugu Changsu next to him.
Seeing Yu Wenshu and Su Wei's reactions and expressions on their faces, Dugu Changsu couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart. He took the folded book he handed over and cast his eyes upward.
A moment later, when the fold came out from Dugu Changsu's hand, his face began to look a little ugly. Of course, this matter had nothing to do with him, but among the fifteen officials who impeached Wang Junlin, except for two, they were Hong.
Except for the Nong Yang family, everyone else is a member of the Guanlong clan. He is now the leader of the Guanlong clan. Although he is annoyed that several clan clans did not greet him and impeached Wang Junlin without his consent, he still treats these ten clans.
The five people were captured by Wang Junlin and the emperor again, which once again severely damaged the power of the Guanlong clan in the court and made them worried.
As this piece of paper was circulated among the officials, the sound of startled breathing could be heard in the hall, and the officials had different expressions. Gradually, the court became strangely quiet.
Everyone looked at the fifteen officials who impeached King Junlin. There was pity, sarcasm, sneer, and gloating among them.
Accepting property from an envoy from a vassal country is nothing, but when the son of an envoy from Goguryeo assassinated a Turkic prince in an attempt to provoke a war between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty, he not only accepted property from the Goguryeo people, but also helped the envoy from Goguryeo.
Exculpation, but the emperor got hold of evidence that they had accepted bribes. That would be extremely stupid.
Of course, the reason why these fifteen people really impeached Wang Junlin was because they were instructed by the Guanlong clan and the Hongnong Yang family behind them, and accepting property from the Goguryeo people was obviously just incidental. In other words, this had something to do with the Goguryeo people's clear understanding of the situation in the Sui Dynasty.
, related to a very accurate understanding of who Wang Junlin’s enemies are.
But having said that, it is not difficult for the people of Goguryeo to know that the Guanlong clan has a grudge against Wang Junlin. After a little inquiry, they will know the whole story of the decision to move the capital to Luoyang some time ago, but the people of Goguryeo actually know who these fifteen officials are.
It’s not that simple for people from the Seven Families’ Guanlong clan. Why do they know? Do the Goguryeo people really know so much about the Sui Dynasty? Could someone deliberately reveal this to the Goguryeo people? For example - Wang Junlin...
Yu Wenshu, Pei Shiju, Su Wei, Dugu Changsu and other extremely intelligent people have vaguely guessed that the Seven Great Gates of Guanlong have fallen into the trap set by Wang Junlin again, and these fifteen officials have long been captured by the blue-clad guards.
The spy is watching.
Of course this discount will be given to ten
The unlucky impeachment of the five impeachment kings, Junlin, was over, so these fifteen people knelt down with despair on their faces. Their fate was already determined, ranging from losing their official positions to being imprisoned.
"Your Majesty, it is unforgivable for these fifteen people to accept the property of the Goguryeo people. However, the assassination of the Turkic prince was carried out by Yuan Gaisuwen. There is no evidence that it was ordered by Yuan Taizuo, and the latter was the prime minister of Goguryeo after all.
Moreover, the power of his family in Goguryeo is not weaker than that of the Goguryeo royal family. If Yuan Taizuo is imprisoned in Sui Dynasty, it may really cause war between the two countries, so what these fifteen people said is not unreasonable." Dugu Changsu is Guan
The leader of the Long Clan, if he didn't speak at this time, it would seriously affect his status in the Dugu Clan, so he had no choice but to stand up and say something.
Yang Guang took a deep look at Dugu Changsu, smiled slightly, and said: "Uncle Guo is right, so I am going to let Yuan Taizuo go, but I can't let him go so easy. So I have a second thing for you.
My dear friends, please take a look."
Another eunuch showed a memorial to the ministers. After reading it, everyone had mixed expressions, either admiration or jealousy, but they could not help but secretly admire the power of Wang Junlin's methods.
"Your Majesty, five thousand war horses are worth five hundred thousand taels of silver. The price of ten thousand Korean ginseng in Daxing City is no less than five hundred thousand taels of silver. In addition, the price of one hundred thousand taels of silver is what Qin An Gong bought from Yuan Taizuo.
With more than one million taels of silver back, I am truly a capable minister and general of His Majesty's." Pei Shiju said with a smile.
"That's right, Your Majesty, moving the capital to Luoyang and building a new capital will cost at least three million taels of silver. The court is short of silver. I have been so worried about money these past few days that I can't afford to eat. Duke Qin An is coming.
This move is like providing help in the snow." Cui Qingshan, the Minister of Household Affairs, is a member of the Cui family among the seven sects and five surnames. He has never dealt with the Guanlong family, and what he said is not wrong.
"What you two beloved ministers have said makes sense. Let's not talk about Wang Junlin's achievements today. Come here and tell me my decree. These fifteen traitors will be thrown into the Dali Temple's heavenly prison and investigated and dealt with according to the law." Yang Guang was thinking at this time.
But what I thought was that after today's incident, the weakening of the Guanlongmen Valve has stopped for the time being. After all, after the capital is moved to Luoyang, the advantages of the Guanlongmen Valve will inevitably be lost, and the Guanlongmen Valve will be used to balance the Taiyuan Wang family in the future.
, the Qinghe Cui family, the Wenxi Pei family and other northern noble families, and this was the reason why he did not put these fifteen people into the prison of the Blue Guard Mansion.
