Turbulent Times Chapter 836: The Wronged King Qi

Moreover, Yang Guang still had many important things to consider, to plan, to give instructions, so Yang Guang came to the imperial study room early in the morning and began to review the memorial.

At this time, he opened a document, which was reported by Zhang Tianqiao, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, that Jingyang Temple outside the city had secretly colluded with Yu Nie Nan Chen, and was discovered by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Thirty-seven people, beheaded forty-five people.

There are remnants of the Chen Dynasty, and they are secretly making troubles. Yang Guang still knows about this, so Yang Guang is relieved, and said casually: "I have passed my order to praise Zhang Tianqiao, and he will be fully responsible for the Jingyang Temple case." .”

The waiter next to him agreed, and then went to deliver the decree.

Yang Guang picked up another memorial, and his brows frowned slightly. It was more than a dozen officials who jointly impeached Wang Junlin for his reckless actions. .

Yang Guang could tell at a glance that except for Yang Xuangan, the rest of the ten officials were from the Guanlong family.

But this memorial aroused Yang Guang's contemplation.

Since the rebellion in Bingzhou was put down, he first solved three major events, one was to establish a prince, the other was to move the capital to Luoyang, and the third was the layout of the court's power. The crown prince has been established, and the East Palace is stable at the beginning. Although the actions of the second son Yang Hao made him extremely angry and disappointed, it also made him more convinced that it was right to establish the eldest son as the crown prince. With the efforts of him and Wang Junlin and his ministers, moving the capital to Luoyang has also achieved its goal, and now the only thing that needs to be done is to implement it. Therefore, the next step is to start working on the new power structure of the imperial court.

As an emperor, he pays attention to the technique of balance and never allows one family to dominate. It is precisely because of this that he did not drive out all the nobles in Guanlong. The southern gentry formed a situation where the three powers were full of power. And above the imperial court, regardless of whether Yang Su died in real or fake, the suppression of the Hongnong Yang family must continue, and at the same time prevent the appearance of a second powerful minister like Yang Su. Now there is the Lanyiwei Mansion led by Wang Junlin If it is used well, it can prevent the appearance of any powerful officials, but it also needs to prevent the backlash of the Lanyiwei Mansion. After all, it is easy for a powerful person like Wang Junlin to lead a powerful institution like the Lanyiwei Mansion. panic.

Thinking of Yang Su, Yang Guang still has deep fears, because before Yang Su was not only the most important minister of the imperial court, but also the number one commander of the army. In front of him, sometimes he even felt that he was very small and cowardly. His emperor's prestige was not as powerful as Yang Su's. Many people in the world only knew Yang Taifu, but not His Majesty the Emperor.

Whether considering the balance of power or increasing his own prestige, Yang Guang could no longer tolerate Yang Su after he succeeded to the throne, but he could not kill Yang Su with a single knife, which would cause chaos in the court That's not something an emperor should do. After all, Yang Su has the merits of supporting him. When Yang Guang wanted to get rid of Yang Su in other ways, Wang Junlin had already done it for him. Thinking about it now, Wang Junlin seems to be able to do many things. Knowing what is in his heart in advance, so everything is done so that he is very comfortable.

In short, Yang Guang decided to continue to suppress the Yang family, reducing the status of the Yang family among the gentry, from the leader of the northern gentry to an ordinary second-rate family.

The suppression of the Hongnong Yang family made Yang Guang inevitably think of Wang Junlin. The latter had an irresolvable enmity with the Hongnong Yang family, so Wang Junlin was undoubtedly the best candidate. Who is more suitable than Wang Junlin.

It's just that he was a little worried that giving Wang Junlin too much power and killing too many people would make Wang Junlin more and more arrogant, and the enmity between Empress Xiao and her second son Yang Hao and Wang Junlin was not small. He was also worried that Wang Junlin would devour the Lord.

"Perhaps it is the right choice to use Wang Junlin's sharp sword to remove all those who should be removed from the court, and then send him to take up the post." Yang Guang thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, King Qi is here, see you outside!" An **** at the door reported.

"Announce him to see you!" Yang Guang said with a cold snort.

The **** went out, and then there was a long and loud voice: "Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan Qi King Yang Hao will have an audience!"

…

"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan Qi King Yang Hao will meet you!"

Drink it loudly, and after a while, Yang Hao entered the imperial study room under the guidance of an eunuch, Yang Hao took a step forward, suppressed the tension and panic in his heart, bowed deeply, and said: "My son will join the emperor! "

"My son, do you know why the emperor summoned you?" Yang Guang asked with a sullen face.

Yang Hao said with an aggrieved face: "Father, the prince's assassination really has nothing to do with my son."

Yang Guang looked disappointed. He took a thick stack of blue-clothed guards from the table next to him and presented his testimony and evidence, 'Wow! ’ Throwing it in front of Yang Hao, he said: "There are all witnesses and material evidence, but you still want to deny it"

Yang Hao was stunned. He knelt down on the ground with an innocent look on his face and said, "Father, where did this... come from? I didn't send anyone to assassinate the prince. This may be the prince's own act." , I want to frame my son."

Yang Hao didn't do this, so he denied it categorically. He also believed that he sent people to spread rumors that the assassination was written and acted by Yang Zhao himself. His father had learned about it, and he hoped that his father would believe him. It is unjust.

However, Yang Guang's attitude made Yang Guang extremely displeased and disappointed. It was already obvious that his son still denied it, so he said coldly: "Assassination of the crown prince failed, and he was arrested by the Lan Yiwei and the Eastern Palace guards." Zhou Cheng, the captain of the city guards who was arrested, has already confessed, saying that you secretly instructed him to do it, how do you explain it?"

"Father, I don't know, I really don't know about this!"

Yang Hao also became anxious. He knelt down and kowtowed and said, "This Zhou Cheng, I don't know him at all, father, it must be because someone communicated with Zhou Cheng and wanted to plant it on my son." , father, there are really no sons!"

Yang Hao was really wronged this time, and the grievance in his heart made him burst into tears, but as both Wang Junlin and Bai Lingyun have analyzed, in the case of assassinating the prince, Yang Hao has the biggest motive, and he has a criminal record , Now there is evidence pointing to him, how can Yang Guang believe what he said.

Yang Guang sneered slightly, and shouted: "It seems that you will never admit it."

At this moment, the guard reported at the door: "Your Majesty, the empress is begging to see you!"

"Show her in!" Yang Guang ordered immediately.

Empress Xiao hastily entered the door, saluted Yang Guang, and immediately persuaded: "Your Majesty, I believe that the assassination of Zhao'er has nothing to do with Wu'er."
