Turbulent Times Chapter 506: Let me take the blame again

Because of a small matter of frying tea, Yang Jian seemed to have realized something, and he didn't know whether he was speaking to Wang Junlin or talking to himself, and he didn't care how Wang Junlin felt, so he muttered for a long time.

Politicians, especially big ones, like to see the big from the small. They have the ability to magnify any small thing infinitely and elevate it to the height of the country, politics, and nation. .

This is what Yang Jian is doing now.

Wang Junlin despises him in his heart, and doesn't know what to say. Although he has the appearance of a hero, he can bend and stretch, but he still can't say some words that violate his conscience and seriously violate his outlook on life...

Wang Junlin had nothing to say, but Yang Jian obviously still had a lot to say.

"Twenty years ago, the Emperor Zhou of the Northern Dynasties was incompetent, the world was in turmoil, and the people were in dire straits. Afterwards, the Tuyuhun was wiped out, the Eastern and Western Turks were severely damaged, and the current grand occasion finally appeared..."

As Yang Jian spoke slowly in a nostalgic tone, Wang Junlin lowered his head, but his eyelids twitched.

It is only natural to say so, and it is justifiable. Since ancient times, it is true that the emperor has the thickest skin, and Yang Jian may be ranked in the top five.

Are you following the will of God and the will of the people? Shamelessly usurping power and taking the throne, and robbing his own son-in-law's country, no one in the world knows it. And...Let's not say whether this is a grand event right now, even if it is, no one can obliterate the credit of your emperor, but listen to his tone, what he said is almost all done by him alone...you have to be shameless up.

After a moment of contempt in his heart, Wang Junlin came back to his senses.

A lie repeated a hundred times becomes the truth.

Yang Jian talked on and on for a long time. According to the usual practice, even if there is no thunderous applause, at least the courtiers should say "Your Majesty is holy" and praise him, but he paused for a moment, But Wang Junlin still bowed his head silently.

At this moment, Yang Jian couldn't help but feel a little bored and even ashamed. I said for a long time, you should express something. It seems that there is a reason for dismissing this ungrateful guy this time. It is clear how Lian became an official. Haven't figured it out yet, okay?

"Why didn't Aiqing say anything? Could it be that she disagreed with what I said?" Yang Jian narrowed his eyes.

"I agree!" Wang Junlin blurted out without thinking, and then solemnly said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and will last forever, comparable to Qin Emperor and Hanwu..."

Yang Jian nodded with satisfaction, and proudly said: "History books have long recorded that even after the Qin Emperor and Han Wu became famous, they would build palaces and accept the harem. Therefore, even if history is used as a mirror, I am not wrong. What Ai Qing said The words are really pertinent, unlike those corrupt and treacherous officials in the court. Tomorrow morning, I will use the words of Aiqing to refute them."

Wang Junlin's face changed: "Your Majesty, my minister..."

Yang Jian snorted, and said pointedly: "Don't worry, it's your credit, I won't forget you."

Wang Junlin cursed secretly: "I have already been dismissed, and I will take the blame for this." Even if Yang Jian hinted that he would be compensated for this matter, Wang Junlin did not want to take the blame. .

So I hesitated for a while, thinking that I don't want to be an official in a short time now, and considering that Yang Jian probably won't live long, and he doesn't want to see countless people ruin their families because of the construction of Changle Palace, so He bit the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, I...that's not what I mean."

Yang Jian's face darkened, and he stared at Wang Junlin for a long time. After a long time, Yang Jian suddenly sighed and said quietly, "Wang Junlin... tell me, is it really wrong to build Changle Palace?"

"The courtiers are all opposed. I have worked hard to rule for more than 20 years. I have made the world peaceful and the people live a stable life. I have made all nations dare not bully the people of my dynasty. I have done so many things. Why can't the subjects tolerate it? Shall I build a palace?"

As Yang Jian spoke, his expression was full of sadness.

Is that a **** palace? You want to build a palace complex, okay?

Wang Junlin thought about it carefully, and said cautiously: "I think your Majesty is right and wrong, maybe it's the timing."

Yang Jian's expression slowed down a little, but he didn't know what to think of, his face became more gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "How long can I live, the timing is not right now, when do you say it is time to build."

"I have little knowledge, so I dare not speak rashly about government affairs..." Wang Junlin's eyes flashed brightly, he snorted coldly in his heart, but with a tinge of anger, he said, "But I know that when something is discussed by the people of the world When everyone opposes it, this matter must be wrong, right is wrong, Your Majesty, people's hearts are awesome, and people's words are also awesome."

Wang Junlin gradually noticed that Yang Jian wanted to put himself in the front, just as he did in the past when he weakened or dealt with aristocratic families.

Of course, it can also be seen that Yang Jian has also felt a little stressed in the past few days. Although the aristocratic family had a lot of checks and balances on him in the past, the grand occasion of opposition from the Manchu Dynasty has not happened since he ascended the throne. However, he did not expect such a thing to happen when his imperial power was at its peak, and what made him most angry was that former loyal ministers such as Changsun Sheng and Han Qinhu also came out to oppose him.

Wang Junlin's words were very euphemistic, but Yang Jian still understood the meaning, glanced at him coldly, and said: "I can hear it, and you also think I shouldn't build Changle Palace?"

Wang Junlin bowed his head and said: "I have little knowledge, how dare I speak falsely about your faults? Your majesty has a holy ruling whether you want to practice or not, and I dare not object."

Yang Jian's expression suddenly eased, pointing at him and cursing with a smile: "What's on your mind, just say it. Do you want me to guess your mind?"

Wang Junlin smiled wryly and said: "The meaning of my minister is very simple. In fact, the country and the family are the same. Everyone lives their lives. The difference is that there are many people and few people. No matter whether the family or the country, how much savings they have, they can do big things. , It doesn’t matter if what you want to do is too expensive, you can wait until you have accumulated enough money to do it... The life of the court is actually the same. How much you have accumulated, or whether you will toss all the accumulation of these years, it depends on how your majesty decides, if your majesty is determined to spend all your savings, no one has anything to say..."

Yang Jian hummed dissatisfiedly, but did not speak,

Wang Junlin's expression suddenly straightened, and he said solemnly: "Think about it, Your Majesty. The mountains and rivers of our Great Sui Dynasty are magnificent, picturesque, beautiful, like brocade and satin, and this mountain and river are all belonged to Your Majesty." Yours, "Poetry" says: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the subject of the king", the people and things in the whole country belong to your majesty, why should your majesty care about a palace in a capital city?"
