Turbulent Times Chapter 1414: The guilt of Zhang Jike
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 he continues to recognize his achievements, it will not be his end." mind."
Pei Shiju's eyes flashed, and he stood up and said: "Master Guo's words are wrong. Wang Junlin came to save the Holy Majesty because he always thought that he was a Sui minister, and it was only natural that Sui minister came to rescue him. If he If he doesn't come to rescue him, it will be difficult for him to explain to the people of the world? So he has to come, and he also came. What's more, if he hadn't led the army to rescue, we might have fallen into the hands of the Turkic people, or died in the chaos hand, the uncle of the country has no chance to sneer here."
"Pei Shiju, don't make excuses." Dugu Changsu became a little annoyed and said, "I'm just talking about the facts. You keep saying good things for Wang Junlin, so you are taking Wang Junlin's benefits."
Pei Shiju shrank his pupils, and said with a sneer, "Master Guo's reaction is so fierce, could it be that he wants His Majesty to send troops to attack Wang Junlin regardless of everything, and then make my Da Sui completely messed up? , You think that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can't see it."
In terms of eloquence, Dugu Changsu is not Pei Shiju's opponent, and the Dugu clan is the number one family in the world. If there is no strong man like Wang Junlin, he would indeed be the first target of Yang Guang's defense. He couldn't be more clear about the mountains and rivers that he had seized from his hands.
Dugu Changsu felt that Yang Guang gave him a cold look, and his heart suddenly became awe-inspiring. Although his face was livid with anger, he was speechless for a long time. Anything will only make the emperor more suspicious of him.
Yang Guang cast a cold glance at Dugu Changsu, then at Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju, and finally turned his attention to Yang Gongdao who rarely spoke. As one of the few royal families, most of his ideas are based on the maintenance of the country, and he can speak up every time, so Yang Guang likes to take him with him wherever he goes, but Yang Gongdao is very smart and knows His identity is the most sensitive, and Yang Guang is suspicious, so he seldom 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, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I praise you
Cheng Yu Lord's opinion, but the minister is not out of fear of Wang Junlin, but for the dignity of His Majesty the Emperor. Since Wang Junlin led the army to rescue him, no matter what the purpose was, the fact that he rescued him should be rewarded, otherwise he would not be rewarded for his great achievements, especially for His Majesty's great achievements in saving his family, and even fought with soldiers. The soldiers below didn't know that Wang Junlin had the intention of treason, so they would think wildly and shake the morale of the army. "
Zhang Jike also said at the right time: "Your Majesty, my ministers seconded the proposal. Only by showing the magnanimity of the Lord of the World can the army return to their hearts, and rewarding the Far Eastern Army will also let the Far Eastern Army know that they are His Majesty's army. Not only the Far East Army, but it is also beneficial to buy the hearts of the soldiers of the Far East Army, making them feel that they are serving His Majesty instead of Wang Junlin. If His Majesty does not recognize Wang Junlin's achievements, it is tantamount to denying the Far East Army I believe that this will completely push the Far Eastern Army to Wang Junlin, and there will be no room for recovery in the future. Therefore, what I mean is that you can bypass Wang Junlin and reward the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army with property, money and food. For Wang Junlin, you can give Some false names are used to block the mouths of the people of the world, so once, the Far Eastern Army is still the Great Sui Army."
Yang Guang thought for a while, then nodded happily. Yang Gongdao and Zhang Jike spoke very thoroughly, and they also talked about his heart. In fact, he was in Yanmen City, and the loyalty of the army outside the city was very limited. In this case, he did not have any confidence in fighting Wang Junlin, and he always felt unsafe.
As Zhang Jike said, rewarding the Far East Army should be the main reward, and Wang Junlin should be commended as a supplement. This is indeed a coup.
However, Yang Guang did not express his decision right away. After sweeping his eyes over the ministers, he said lightly: "Zhang Jike and Yang Gongdao stay, everyone else should step down first!"
"The ministers are waiting to leave." All the ministers with different expressions respectfully bowed and retreated.
Only Yang Guang, Yang Gongdao, and Zhang Jike were left in the study, and then Yang Guang slowly said to them: "Although Dugu Changsu is my uncle, he puts the interests of the Dugu family first. It's normal for the Dugu family to be on the verge of falling apart. Pei Shiju comes from a powerful family like Wenxi Peishi. Although he doesn't have the intention of rebellion, he must have selfish intentions. Yu Shiji likes to exercise power, and now he has no ability to share my worries. Only Yang Gongdao, you are from the royal family, so it is rare for you to be clear-headed, but Zhang Aiqing, you were born in a poor family, and you were by my side when I was the prince
My staff, I trust you the most, I think you may have something to say, and now you can continue. "
"Thank you for your Majesty's trust, I will do my best for His Majesty." Zhang Jike sighed secretly, feeling a little guilty in his heart, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Fortunately, Yang Gongdao sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say. I think that Wang Junlin really intends to rebel, and he is probably the biggest threat to us in the Sui Dynasty. But now he will only be Even if a separatist feudal town wants to conquer the world, it will be after my Great Sui Dynasty is completely in chaos, so as long as Your Majesty can turn the tide, put down the rebels in the world, and restore stability to my Great Sui Dynasty, Wang Junlin's ambition can be curbed. We must eradicate him completely, but definitely not now, otherwise it will only make the rebels from all walks of life happy and give them a chance to grow stronger, and such a powerful family as the Dugu family will also secretly plot evil."
Yang Guang nodded, Yang Gongdao talked about 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, and as far as I know, he also has the support of officials and people in Fanyang County. But at the same time, it is also a restraint for him, preventing him from brazenly rebelling. His expansion of the six counties in Hebei is the best illustration. In this way, His Majesty can let him go temporarily, and first win over him, just to use him Your Majesty’s vicious reputation will frighten the youngest people in the world, and after His Majesty wipes out all the traitors in the country one by one, and the domestic situation is stable, then turn around and wipe out Wang Junlin in one fell swoop, I think this is the best way.”
Yang Guang sighed slightly, looked at Zhang Jike and Yang Gongdao with admiration, and said sincerely: "I am a fan of the authorities, thanks to the reminders of the two lovers, I wake up, I know what to do, so I will follow Qingyan, I will win over him first, and after I have wiped out the other rebels and the world is stable, I will gather a large army to wipe him out in one fell swoop."
Zhang Jike and Yang Gongdao hurriedly said respectfully in unison: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful."
Singing Yang Guang habitually in his mouth, Zhang Jike couldn't help thinking to himself: "This Sui Dynasty is completely rotten. Even if His Majesty returns to the wise and martial arts when he was the prince, it will be difficult to calm down all the rebels and make the world stable. How can we wait until the time to gather troops to attack the prince."
