Turbulent Times Chapter 640: Sword of the Son of Heaven
The emperor revealed his heart in front of his courtiers and expressed some of the deepest thoughts in his heart. This is a manifestation of the emperor's favor for his courtiers.
But Wang Junlin didn't say anything with joy, but he felt like facing an enemy in his heart. Every word and every sentence he uttered had to be weighed over and over again in his heart, because he probably knew Yang Guang better than everyone in the world. What kind of person is he? How bloodthirsty and violent is he in his bones? In the past, because he said something wrong in front of Yang Guang, Yang Guang suddenly changed his face, and there were not a few courtiers who ordered him to be pulled out and killed on the spot.
Of course Wang Junlin knows why Yang Guang said these words to him today. This is to give him a heavy responsibility, or to reuse his prelude. There is no difference between some leaders, and they all call to talk first, the purpose is to bring each other closer and make subordinates more grateful and loyal to themselves. In addition, Wang Junlin guessed that the Marquis House would still exist, but it might be given another task by Yang Guang, and this was the direct purpose of Yang Guang's conversation with him today.
Sure enough, Yang Guang turned around and sat back at the imperial table. He waved all the servants and maids to retreat, then stared at Wang Junlin and said, "You know why I handed over the inner and outer marquises to you. ?”
Wang Junlin's heart trembled, thinking that the point of this conversation was coming, he bowed and said: "I don't know, please show me, Your Majesty."
Yang Guang showed a strong murderous intent in his eyes, and said: "The various powerful families are actually cancerous tumors on my Da Sui body. The influence and infiltration of the imperial court and the army have achieved some results. You have contributed a lot to this matter. However, the foundation of the aristocratic family has not been affected, and the threat to the imperial court still exists. I dug it out from the Sui Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Yang Guang paused for a moment and said, "I said this, Junlin should understand what I want you to do, right?"
Wang Junlin cursed secretly in his heart, thinking that Yang Jian used himself as a sharp sword against powerful families at that time, and now Yang Guang has the same idea, and compared to Yang Jian, Yang Guang's ideas and methods are obviously more extreme, Could it be that in the eyes of the emperor, he is so suitable to deal with various powerful families? Don't they worry about raising tigers at all?
That's right, in Yang Guang's eyes, he has no foundation in the Sui Dynasty, and he doesn't even have any relatives. As long as he doesn't let him go back to Zhangye County, Yongzhou, he doesn't even have a team on the surface, as if he is the only one he can rely on. It is the emperor.
He secretly scolded Yang Guang for being shameless, but Wang Jun said without hesitation in his face: "I am willing to be the sword in your majesty's hand to deal with powerful families. It's just that I am worried that my power is weak, my status is low, and my ability is insufficient, which will delay your majesty." great event.”
Wang Junlin's attitude made Yang Guang quite satisfied. He nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about the concerns you mentioned. With my support behind you, you are now the Duke of Qin'an County. With tens of thousands of secret agents from inner and outer marquis officials, plus your supernatural powers, you are absolutely capable of taking on this important task. I will give you the Tianzi Sword today, and when you show this sword at a critical moment, it will be as if you are here in person. At the same time, I pass on It is my decree that you can enter the palace at any time without notification. In addition, no matter whether it is manpower, financial resources, or other aspects, no matter what kind of support you need, you can come to me at any time."
As he spoke, Yang Guang took down a sword from the wall behind him, handed it to Wang Junlin, and said: "Swords are divided into three classes: common people's sword, prince's sword, and emperor's sword. The sword of man. With bravery as the front, cleanliness as the collar, virtuousness as the spine, loyalty and sage as the jaw, and the sword of the princes. With the seven kingdoms as the front, mountains and seas as the collar, the five elements are controlled, Yin and Yang are opened, and the sword is held. Take spring and summer, walk with autumn and winter, be unparalleled in the world, submit to the world, and be the sword of the emperor. I heard that you have a precious sword in your hand, and now I will give you another sword. This sword is called Chixiao, which is Liu Bang The used sword has two seal characters engraved on the sword body: Chi Xiao. According to legend, Liu Bang once gave this sword to Zhang Liang. I hope that Junlin can be my Zhang Liang.”
Of course Wang Junlin knew what Yang Guang meant, and also what Yang Guang was implying. Among Liu Bang's many founding heroes in history, Han Xin was good at fighting, Xiao He was good at raising (raising military supplies), and Zhang Liang was good at planning. Han Xin fought in the north and south, and laid down a large area of land for Liu Bang; Xiao He actively raised money in the rear, and provided a steady stream of military supplies to the front line; Then, after Liu Bang killed Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu successively, and abolished heroes such as Xiao He, he did not kill Zhang Liang alone, and even made Zhang Liang prosperous and prosperous for generations.
Wang Junlin sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that he would travel back to ancient times and hang out in front of the emperor, all relying on his acting skills!
Thinking of this, he looked excited, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said: "Thank you for your majesty's grace, I am willing to die for your majesty."
"It's good that you understand, I will give you another purple gold fish bag to show your noble status, no worse than those powerful masters." Yang Guang said with a satisfied face and smiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Junlin naturally became more and more excited.
Compared to Yang Jian, Yang Guang is much more generous and generous towards Wang Junlin's 'sharp sword', and he also trusts Wang Junlin very much. Maybe I can't even get out of this door today.
It may be that Yang Jian was killed by Gao Ying's collusion with the Spring and Autumn Messenger, which stimulated Yang Guang. When Wang Junlin entered the imperial study room, he faintly felt that there were four masters in the dark around him. A master of breaking power. And the guards outside looked cold and stern, and their strength was not weak. Among them, there were not a few masters in the stagnant period.
Wang Junlin conjectured that it should be Yang Guang's management of Jiangnan for many years, training the military's inner circle masters and the private masters he wooed.
Sure enough, Wang Junlin's guess was correct. The Marquis who was most trusted by Yang Jian in the past and who was in charge of Yang Jian's most personal guard mission has been deprived of the right to guard the emperor by Yang Guang. Naturally, Yang Guang has his own trusted team.
Wang Junlin understands that from now on, no matter whether it is an inner marquis or an outer marquis, in Yang Guang's view, there is only one task, and that is to be led by Wang Junlin to deal with all the powerful families of the Sui Dynasty.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. I will not disappoint Your Majesty." Wang Junlin immediately expressed his opinion.
