Turbulent Times Chapter 765: The angry Yang Guang


Compared with Dugu Changsu, Yuanshou's voice was more severe and sharp. He said loudly: "Your Majesty, the former Northern Qi Dynasty is not stable. You can increase the garrison and gather military power. The government is weak. Your Majesty can send more censors to inspect , As for the Jianghuai and Jiangnan areas, you only need to send a few important officials to sit in town, or modify the system to strengthen the imperial court's control over the Jianghuai and Jiangnan areas. The land of Gyeonggi is the foundation of the country, and His Majesty also said that he would restore the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu, the Emperor of Zhongxing, was Guanzhong, and the current Daxing City is the old Chang'an City, so His Majesty wants to restore the prosperity of Han and Wu, let alone move the capital.”

General He Ruobi took a hard look at Wang Junlin, and also came out and said, "Your Majesty, I impeached Wang Junlin with ulterior motives and used so-called prophecy to confuse the public. I think Wang Junlin's words are purely absurd. Your Majesty should punish him for the serious crime of disrupting the imperial court, and cut him into pieces to scare the world."

Wang Junlin glanced at He Ruobi indifferently, thinking that it happened that He Ruobi was attacked, Yang Guang would be very satisfied.

General Zhang Jin of Zuo Xiaowei also came out and said: "Your Majesty, Daxing City has only been newly built for 20 years. It has complete facilities and the country is rich and peaceful. If the Sui Dynasty is to prosper, Daxing City will be the land of Zhongxing. If the capital is moved to Luoyang , It is bound to build a lot of construction and consume people's wealth and resources. The former emperor also said that when the Sui Dynasty was built, it should be frugal and cherish the people. Your Majesty, the words of the first emperor's teachings are still lingering. Forget it for a moment."

"Your Majesty, I oppose moving the capital!"

"Your Majesty, I firmly oppose moving the capital. If Your Majesty insists, I would like to admonish him with death!"

There was fierce opposition in the hall. Su Wei wanted to say something at first, but he didn't dare to speak anymore. Yu Shiji was born as Yang Guang's confidant and aide. He is eloquent, but also difficult to parry.

Although Yang Guang had long expected that there would be a lot of opposition from many people, there would definitely be a big backlash, and he never thought that he would be able to pass this matter today. It's just that the resolute and strong opposition of the officials headed by the Guanlong nobles still caught Yang Guang unexpectedly. His face changed several times and became extremely gloomy. The ministers are so opposed, and so rude.

Yang Guang wanted to order people to pull out and kill those courtiers who dared to oppose him several times, but he knew that if he did so, Da Sui would immediately have wars all over the place. First of all, the whole Guanzhong would be in chaos. It fell apart immediately, and it was hard to say whether he, the emperor, could continue to sit.

The consequences of killing these people flashed through his mind, Yang Guang had no choice but to take a deep breath, suppressed the murderous intent and anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "The matter of moving the capital will be discussed later. It is past noon now. I'm tired, let's go!"

Yang Guang rushed back to the imperial study room angrily, grabbed the crown on his head and threw it to the ground, 'Bang! ’ The beam of the crown was broken into two pieces, and the pearls and jade on the crown splashed all over the place. A dozen or so eunuchs were so frightened that they fell silent and knelt down on the ground, like statues, not daring to move, not daring to breathe.

Yang Guang sat on the dragon couch with a livid face, gnashing his teeth for a while, still unable to get rid of his anger, he suddenly pushed the table to the ground with all his strength, and roared: "I am the emperor, I am the son of heaven, the whole world belongs to me, How dare they go against my will so much, do they still have my emperor in their eyes?"

There was silence in the imperial study room, no one dared to persuade the angry emperor, many eunuchs had followed Yang Guang for many years, and in their memory, Yang Guang had not been so angry for many years. On weekdays, under normal circumstances, Yang Guang is more considerate to his servants, but when he is angry, if anyone who is not good-looking dares to appear in front of him, he will definitely be treated as a punching bag and ordered to be beaten to death. Fortunately, today all the old people here are with Yang Guangduo, and they all know their master's temper, and no one is going to make trouble, so Yang Guang didn't kill his servants.

After a full hour, Yang Guang's anger slowly subsided and he regained his calm. After he pondered for a while, he carefully recalled the scene at today's court meeting, knowing that Yu Wenshu probably had no hope, after all, the other party They are also Guanlong nobles. As for Su Wei and Yu Shiji, they have no foundation other than themselves in the court, and there is no powerful family behind them. In other words, their foundation lies in him, the emperor, so they can't do much.

After much deliberation, the only one who has the means and means to challenge Guan Long is King Junlin of Qin'an County.

Thinking of this, Yang Guang immediately ordered: "Quickly call Wang Junlin to see me."

Not long after Wang Junlin returned to the mansion, he received the order from the palace, sighed, and had to enter the palace again. When Yang Guang was thinking about countermeasures, he also thought about what Yang Guang would do. In the original history, Yang Guang relied on Yang Su's huge power in the court and the influence in the army to forcefully move the capital. Now Yang Su was forced to fake death by Yang Guang and him to some extent. After much deliberation It seems that Wang Junlin is the only one Yang Guang can count on in this matter.

Wang Junlin hurried into the palace, and was taken to the imperial study by the eunuch. After the announcement, he walked in, saluted Yang Guangshen, and said, "The minister, Wang Junlin, sees Your Majesty!"

Yang Guang sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Aiqing, excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Junlin was meticulous in etiquette.

But Yang Guang couldn't wait to say: "Wang Aiqing, you also saw it today. I wanted to restore the prosperity of the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty. In order to make the Sui Dynasty stronger and stronger, I moved the capital to Luoyang. But you Look at those ministers and officials from aristocratic families, they strongly oppose my move to move the capital for their own selfishness, you say, how difficult is it for me to do something?"

"Your Majesty, the so-called blocking people's money is like killing their parents. Your Majesty's move of the capital will undoubtedly break their foundation to a certain extent for the powerful families headed by the Guanlong nobles. This is more serious than blocking their money. So they objected, but I thought it was normal, if no one objected, I am afraid that the matter would be serious, and His Majesty should guard against their disobedience."

Hearing this, Yang Guang's face changed slightly, he sighed, and said, "I actually know this too, and I'm mentally prepared."

After a pause, Yang Guang gritted his teeth again and said: "It's just that I still have a lot of important things to do, but before doing these big things, I must first move the capital to Luoyang, so that I will no longer be ruled by the Guanlong nobles, and I will be completely gone." Only by worrying about the future can we do those big things, so I can't wait, I have to pass the matter of moving the capital in the court as soon as possible, Wang Aiqing has a good plan."

Wang Junlin had expected that Yang Guang would ask him this way, and he had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, since I was summoned by His Majesty yesterday, I have been thinking about how to help His Majesty move the capital smoothly. I thought of a method."
