Turbulent Times Chapter 135: The change of Yu Zimo

I have to say that Qiu Rui reacted quickly and had a thick skin, so he immediately thought of using a scapegoat to deal with this matter. Yang Jian obviously didn't want to push Qiu Rui too far, so he said coldly: "Qiu Rui, do you know these things? If I am satisfied, I will send Huang Baochang to bring a hundred officials to your residence to further investigate this matter, I hope you will take care of yourself!"

Speaking of this, Yang Jian stood up suddenly, waved his robe sleeves, and shouted sharply: "Retire!"

As soon as the voice fell, Yang Jian turned around and walked towards the apse angrily. There was a whisper in the hall, and everyone didn't understand what happened for a while.

Some ministers wanted to see the contents of the ledger and pamphlet curiously, but seeing that Qiu Rui was holding it firmly in his hand, he had no choice but to give up. Backer King Yang Lin's Xiaoshan-like body stood closest, looking at Qiu Rui whose face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and faintly heard Qiu Rui muttering: "It's over, this time it's really over."

Yang Lin chuckled, and left with the unpredictable eldest Sun Sheng.

Soon the civil and military officials in the palace left one by one, and Wang Junlin also left alone in the crowd, but compared to before going to court, the eyes of many officials looking at him changed again at this time, with fear and fear. Fear, but also disgust and ridicule, of course, there is also kindness and appreciation.

Soon all the officials in the main hall left in twos and threes, and Dugu Qingyun, the young supervisor in the hall who had always been close to Qiu Rui, intentionally walked at the end. What did the big hammer shop do? What did Wang Junlin show His Majesty? It actually made His Majesty so angry with you."

Qiu Rui said with regret on his face: "My evil son sold pig iron to Khitan and Turkic people behind my back, and even some weapons."

"What!"

Dugu Qingyun was taken aback, and said: "This...how can you do such a thing of supporting the enemy and betraying the country? How many pig iron and weapons have you sold?"

"Ah! The evidence presented by the little thief Wang Junlin said that there were more than 30,000 catties of pig iron, and there were more than 5,000 pieces of various weapons." Qiu Rui did not hide anything, and said truthfully with a sigh.

Dugu Qingyun is sweating on his forehead, Qiu Rui is really confused. The biggest hidden danger or enemy of the Sui Dynasty is the wolf-like nomadic people in the north, mainly Turks. Even though the border has been relatively peaceful in recent years, But everyone knows that it is only temporary, and hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry may go south to kill them at any time. As long as the Khitan people encounter black disasters and white disasters, they will not hesitate to attack the border villages and towns of the Great Sui Dynasty.

It's okay to secretly sell some daily iron utensils such as iron pans, but with the ability of those savages, they can't turn the formed iron utensils into weapons. But pig iron and weapons are different.

This is an outrage and a taboo!

Qiu Rui grabbed Dugu Qingyun's arm and said, "Brother Qingyun, what do you think I should do now? I'm going to explain to the Holy Spirit now, I don't know if there is any possibility of saving it?"

Dugu Qingyun shook his head, sighed, looked left and right, and saw that the guards were far away from them, so he said in a low voice: "Brother Qiu, Your Majesty is a reasonable person, and he never punishes anyone without evidence of guilt." Official, but His Majesty has been trying to find ways to get hold of those of us aristocrats since he took the throne. Otherwise, why do you think he pushed out Wang Junlin, a poisonous boy. Now your Majesty has caught your evidence or handle I'm afraid you won't be able to pass this test just by explaining."

"Then what should I do? Brother Qingyun, you must help me!"

Dugu Qingyun thought for a while, and said: "Brother Qiu, Your Majesty is a nostalgic person. You saved his life in the midst of thousands of armies and made great achievements in battle, so you will definitely not be driven to death. Otherwise, instead of retiring from the court just now, he ordered you to be imprisoned directly, and then copied your Changping Palace. Now His Majesty has not directly imposed any punishment on you, but just wants you to resign and retire with dignity! Only in this way, your Qiu family may In order to escape this catastrophe."

…

…

An hour later, Qiu Rui sent the twenty-five people who "privately" sold pig iron and weapons to the Khitan and Turks in the Changping Prince's Mansion to the Ministry of Punishment. All the money was donated to the imperial court, and at the same time he asked to resign from Kaifu Yitong Sansi, a prominent official of the first rank.

Yang Jian accepted his resignation and ordered the beheading of twenty-five traitors who participated in collaborating with the enemy and the country. At the same time, he appointed Shangshu Zuocheng Yuanshou as the third division of Kaifu Yitong to replace Qiu Rui in office.

…

…

Qin Anhou Mansion, Study Room.

Wang Junlin, who had already learned about the series of actions of the Changping Palace, Qiu Rui's resignation, and Yuanshou's succession to Qiu Rui's official position, was frowning in thought.

I don't know how long it took before he sighed, with a look of surprise on his face.

Yang Jian left angrily in the court before, obviously pretending, he just wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the family of ZTE heroes who mainly opened the Sui Jiulao.

The use of Yuan Shou, the patriarch of the Yuan family who is second only to the Dugu clan among the Guanlong nobles, is obviously intended to send a signal of reusing the Guanlong nobles, and deliberately provoke the family of the founding heroes of the Sui Dynasty and the Guanlong nobles. conflicts between.

Wang Junlin made such a judgment not only because Yuanshou took over Qiu Rui's position, but also because he had just received news from the Nighthawk envoy, and he cooperated with him in carrying out the big hammer and iron shop and obtained evidence Huang Baochang, the general of Hou Guanfu, is Yuanshou's son-in-law.

It's just that Yang Jian did it very covertly, or in other words, he showed Wang Junlin in front of the public to attract everyone's attention.

"Yang Jian is indeed still merciful. If Yang Guang would have seized the opportunity, he would have taken the opportunity to confiscate the Changping palace and exterminate his family. Now, although Qiu Rui has resigned from his official position, the title of King Changping is still there, and there are still many acquaintances in the court. The 200,000 taels of silver did not hurt him in terms of wealth. But with my current power, wealth, and military masters in my hands, I am still far from being able to compare with the old thief Qiu who has no official position!" Wang Junlin murmured Muttering to himself, complaining to Yang Jian.

…

At this time, in the imperial study room, Yang Jian was also thinking about this issue. Qiu Rui's disciples were all over the court and the army. Should he use this opportunity to eliminate Qiu Rui's influence in the court?

Yang Jian is actually not as soft-hearted as Wang Junlin thought, but in his position, there are more and more comprehensive issues to consider.

At this time, he was very hesitant. If Qiu Rui was really defeated at once, the founding ZTE family headed by Qiu Rui and Yang Su would suffer too much damage. The Long noble family is the largest family. As for the third-party forces in the court, the Shandong family and the Hedong family are mostly only in the civil service. The forces in the army are too weak, and now they cannot directly compete with the first two forces.

Therefore, while severely injuring Qiu Rui, we must also preserve the Changping Palace, and use this opportunity to create enmity between the Changping Palace and the Yuan family, which will naturally lead to a struggle between the Guanlong nobles and the founding Zhongxing family. It is more beneficial to his royal family than uprooting the Changping Palace.

Thinking of this, Yang Jian called for the **** to pass the decree, and said: "Preach my decree, Qin An Hou Wang Junlin and Hou Guanfu Lang Huang Baochang made great contributions in the case of the big hammer and iron shop, and Wang Junlin was named the supervisory censor, Huang Baochang He is a fifth-rank Wu Ben Zhonglang general.”

…

…

"Shen Guang, how is the matter of controlling Yang Su's son-in-law, Zheng Guang'an?" After thinking about Yang Jian's intentions, Wang Junlin called Shen Guang again and asked about the most critical part of dealing with Yang Su.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. Zheng Guang'an eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles. He likes everything, and he likes gems. He is full of problems. There are plenty of ways to catch him in his lowly position. Now the matter has been almost done. You just need to do it again." After a day's fermentation, Zheng Guang'an will have to listen to us." Shen Guang said with confidence.

Wang Junlin nodded and said, "Very well. Although Qiu Rui has a noble title, he is brave and intelligent, but Yang Su is different. He is a real old fox. We must have a perfect strategy to deal with him, otherwise if he is exposed The flaw will definitely be caught by it, maybe it will make us fall into a place of eternal doom."

Hearing the words, Shen Guang said solemnly: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I must be careful in doing things in a lowly position, and will not show any flaws."

"Let's go, go and see Guo'er and Zimo, and see how their conditions are going." Wang Junlin nodded, and walked towards the place where Yuzimo lived while talking, Shen Guang hurriedly followed behind.

On the day Shen Guang and Shen Guoer entered the mansion last time, they were taken by Wang Junlin to meet Yu Zimo solemnly and introduced them to each other.

Now there are only nineteen guards in the mansion, except for the four guards at the main entrance and the two at the side entrance, and the four who have been with Wang Junlin for a long time, the remaining nine were all sent by Wang Junlin to protect Yu Zimo.

Wang Junlin originally thought that with Yuzimo's personality, he must not be able to bear the loneliness and stay in bed. Unexpectedly, when he came, Yu Zimo's dejected and depressed face was completely gone, and there was some shyness unique to teenagers in his expression, as well as a sunny vigor that was different from the previous fierce look.

Wang Junlin was very curious about what caused Yu Zimo to undergo such a wonderful change, until he saw Shen Guoer, who had a little more rosy face, came to the place where Yu Zimo lived, holding a bunch of strings in his hand. Only when he got the cherries from somewhere did he understand why Yu Zimo's change came about.

For a teenager, nothing can change him faster and more effectively than a lovely girl of the same age.

As for how the boy and girl got to know each other during these two days, and what cute things happened between them, Wang Junlin no longer needs to know.

Although Shen Guoer is young, she has shown a maturity far beyond her peers, and even has some scheming, but so what? As long as it can make Yu Zimo like and happy, even if Shen Guoer is close to Yu Zimo on purpose, that is a very good thing.
