Turbulent Times Chapter 1162: The contradictory Yang Guang

Repetitioning like this, it took Xu Jingzong a quarter of an hour to translate the secret letter. While Xu Jingzong wrote it, Shen Guang read it out beside him: "Taking Goguryeo's Annan County, the capital city Pyongyang, and the Heishui University The two great victories in the canyon and the Sanyang Valley, as well as the credit for capturing Yuan Taizuo alive are all thanks to His Majesty's advance planning. He made full use of public opinion and the power of the court to force the court to set up the Far East Army General Manager in Fanyang County. If it is impossible, he can retreat. And the next best thing is to seek the title of king with a different surname..."

"Your Majesty is presenting these great gifts to His Majesty at this time. Even though Your Majesty has already become jealous and suspicious of him, he has no choice but to accept it, because His Majesty needs these things so much at this time." After Xu Jingzong and Shen Guang looked at it, they looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

His Majesty the Emperor led an army of one million and mobilized more than three million civilians to conquer Goguryeo with all the power of the country. The prestige of the imperial court, the government, and officials has plummeted in the eyes of the people, and their credibility has almost been lost.

In this situation, some powerful families are ready to move, such as Hongnong Yang's, Longxi Li's and so on.

And rebels from all over the world are springing up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Some have gathered tens of thousands of people, and some have hundreds of people. The imperial court sends troops to wipe out one, and soon another will appear.

But very few people explained to Yang Guang why there were so many rebels. Yang Guang has always attributed these to the consequences of his failure to conquer Goguryeo and the loss of the emperor's prestige.

A few things in Wang Junlin's secret letter, Wang Junlin only said the request, how to complete it requires Shen Guang and Xu Jingzong to use their brains, the two discussed for a while, and generally came up with a plan, and then split up, one went to Pei Shiju , one went to find Yu Shiji.

…

…

It was Xu Jingzong who went to meet Yu Shiji in secret. The two discussed for more than an hour. After Xu Jingzong quietly left through the side door, Yu Shiji wrote a secret memorial and sent it to the palace after a while of contemplation.

Yu Shiji and Wang Junlin have no hatred, and because Wang Junlin knew that in the late Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang was depressed by the failure of the three conquests against Goguryeo, so he was drunk all day long and ignored the government

After that, Yu Shiji, Pei Shiju and others were in charge of the government in the Sui Dynasty, so he had already asked Xu Jingzong to do his best to tackle Yu Shiji's key problems.

Although Xu Jingzong is young, even in his early twenties, he is in charge of such a powerful yamen as the Lanyiwei Mansion. In the original history, he could become the number one treacherous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and even become the number one confidant of a powerful man like Wu Zetian. It can be seen how strong his mind is, coupled with Wang Junlin's huge wealth support behind him, over the past two years, he has already worked hand in hand with Xu Jingzong, and secretly cooperated to do a lot of things.

However, Xu Jingzong always kept Wang Junlin's orders in mind, and never asked Yu Shiji to help Wang Junlin with anything until today.

Xu Jingzong knew that Yu Shiji was a greedy person, so he found a high-sounding excuse to give Yu Shiji ten thousand taels of gold and ten thousand mu of fertile land.

The matter Wang Junlin planned this time was too big, and it was directly related to the major event of Wang Junlin's competition in the world after the Great Sui Dynasty fell apart. So Xu Jingzong knew that property alone was not enough, and he paved a way for Xu Yushiji as a friend after the secret talk just now.

Yu Shiji is a smart man, knowing that the current situation of the Sui Dynasty is very bad, and in this case, His Majesty the Emperor is still stubborn, and has even begun to plan the second conquest of Goguryeo. There are not many people who really care about state affairs, and everyone thinks first of their own personal interests and the interests of powerful families.

In short, Yu Shiji already has a faint feeling that the Great Sui Dynasty is coming to an end, and if the Great Sui Dynasty is over, what will he do for Yu Shiji? , would die miserably, and today Xu Jingzong hinted something to Yu Shiji, which can be regarded as giving Yu Shiji some guarantees and paving a way out, that is, Fanyang County, King Qin An.

…

…

The emaciated Yu Shiji hurriedly ran behind an eunuch, who kept urging him in front. Yu Shiji was a little out of breath from running, and said to the eunuch: "Don't rush, father-in-law, my legs and feet are not as strong as father-in-law's."

The **** hurried over to hold his hand, half dragging and half pulling to help

He walked faster, and said in a low voice: "Master Yu, please be considerate of our family. As soon as your memorial came in, the emperor laughed three times ecstatically, but for some reason he smashed a few more." Cup, and shot two blind maids. In the end, she shed tears and asked you to enter the palace immediately with red eyes. You also know that since His Majesty came back from Goguryeo, we slaves have suffered. Bo, you don't know how eager His Majesty was when he let you enter the palace just now, if you go a little slower, our family might be shot by His Majesty."

After the **** finished explaining, he felt that the speed was not fast enough, so he recruited two young eunuchs to support him all the way. When he arrived at the imperial study room, Yu Shiji was out of breath and entered the imperial study room , Yang Guang was circling anxiously inside, seeing Yu Shiji coming, he immediately greeted him.

The **** gasped and said, "Your Majesty, Master Yu..."

Yang Guang waved his hand impatiently, telling the **** to step down and not to interrupt, he impatiently asked Yu Shiji: "Is the matter of Wang Junlin that Ai Qing's Memorial said true?"

Yu Shiji hadn't turned around in one breath, and the emperor had to answer the question, so he stammered: "Chen... Chen..."

Yang Guang wished he could grab him and shake the words out, but now he looked helpless, so he quickly asked a court lady to serve tea. The **** who had called Yu Shiji cleverly found a soft stool for Yu Shiji, but Yang Guang couldn't help it. Standing, Yu Shiji didn't dare to sit down.

It took a long time for Yu Shiji to calm down, and he told Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, since your Majesty said last time that he was worried that Wang Junlin would be disobedient, I have secretly sent many people to watch Fanyang County. , that's why we were able to get the news at the first time, Wang Junlin's good news should be coming soon, although this matter has yet to be verified, it should not be fake."

Yang Guang was shocked when he heard the words, he let out a long laugh, and said, "Good! Good! Good! We broke through Pyongyang City, occupied their Annan County, wiped out more than 70,000 people, and captured the old thief Yuan Taizuo alive. "

When Yang Guang said this, ecstasy appeared on Yang Guang's face, but it was followed by an unforgettable hatred for someone: "That old thief Yuan Taizuo will definitely smash him into pieces Only by a thousand cuts can the hatred in my heart be eliminated."
