Turbulent Times Chapter 870: Reverse humiliation
As the only son of the current emperor, Yang Hao will become the focus and center no matter where he goes. At this time, there are many officials and dignitaries who have ordered Yang Guang to pay homage. Saluted to Yang Hao, then stopped to look at Wang Junlin. Moreover, a considerable number of officials and dignitaries flattered Yang Hao, intentionally stood behind Yang Hao, and glared at Wang Junlin. Obviously, these people took this opportunity before them as an opportunity to express their opinion to Qi Wang Yang Hao.
Yang Hao thought that he had a strong aura of domineering, and so many officials and dignitaries were convinced by him, he felt more energetic, and unconsciously became more confident in Wang Junlin's humiliation.
It's just that when Wang Junlin finished the sacrifice and turned to look at Yang Hao, the cold gaze made Yang Hao's expression stagnate, and some of the officials and dignitaries behind Yang Hao couldn't help themselves under Wang Junlin's gaze bowed his head.
Wang Junlin snorted coldly, did not say anything, but stopped looking at Yang Hao, and walked towards the entrance of the hall by himself, but Yang Hao and his party stood at the door, which made everyone feel uncomfortable It was Wang Junlin who was walking towards them.
Seeing Wang Junlin walking towards him with a cold face, Yang Hao's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, he felt a little inexplicably afraid, and he didn't even dare to look at Wang Junlin, and the officials and dignitaries behind Yang Hao were even more expressionless. Suddenly, except for one person, they all lowered their heads involuntarily at this time.
The official who did not bow his head was the cabinet minister, Yu Shiji, the minister of internal history. This person was Yang Guang's first staff member during Yang Jian's period. He was quite strategic and even more scheming. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, Yu Shiji had become a third-rank minister of internal history and a cabinet minister in just three years. Wang Junlin, who was a miracle in itself, was promoted even faster, and many people secretly called him and Wang Junlin the new nobles of the Sui Dynasty.
Of course Wang Junlin knew who Yu Shiji was. He even knew him better than Yu Shiji himself. For, flattering the emperor, dereliction of duty and bullying the emperor, selling officials to sell prisons, bribing public officials, and using their defeat to urge the defeat of the Sui Dynasty regime, death is not a pity.
The Yu Shiji in Wang Junlin's eyes is basically consistent with the historical evaluation. This can be seen from the fact that Yu Shiji never paid attention to Yang Hao before Yang Zhao's death, but now he surrendered to Yang Hao at the first time. It can be seen that this person He is indeed a man who tends to power and is good at speculation. Of course, Yu Shiji can be valued by Yang Guang, which is naturally extraordinary. Apart from strategy and scheming, Wang Junlin remembers asking Nie Xiaoyu to check Yu Shiji's information last time, which mentioned that Shiji compiled "District Yu Tu Zhi" in the Sui Dynasty, which is an earlier national regional chronicle.
Wang Junlin is not an honest gentleman, and he also follows the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences in his dealings with others. He will not hate Yu Shiji just because he doesn't like Yu Shiji's character. When people meet such powerful and wise emperors as Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu, they may become famous ministers or even famous ministers if they use them well.
But when he met Yang Guang, an emperor who became more and more self-willed after becoming the emperor, Yu Shiji had no choice but to follow what Yang Guang said for his own life and his own prosperity, so he racked his brains to conform to and agree with him. Praise Yang Guang, so that after Yang Guang gave up on himself, he began to fool and deceive Yang Guang, and became a treacherous minister who promoted the demise of the Sui Dynasty at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
Yu Shiji obviously knows Wang Junlin better than others, at least he knows that although Wang Junlin has a poisonous and vicious reputation, he has never dealt with his colleagues in this way, so he is not as afraid of Wang Junlin as others What's more, his official position and status are only higher than Wang Junlin, and in today's world, he is more favored than Wang Junlin, so he has the confidence to face Wang Junlin, Wang Junlin also admits this, and will never underestimate it. This person, when he and Yu Shiji looked at each other, he slightly clasped his fists at the latter, and said with a smile: "So it's Mr. Yu."
Yu Shiji was slightly taken aback, his pupils shrank suddenly, Wang Junlin's reaction made him completely unexpected, even a little caught off guard, but he instantly understood Wang Junlin's brilliance——Qi Wang Yanghao turned a blind eye, but turned a blind eye to him Yu Shiji saluted, considering Qi Wang Yang Hao's character and narrow-mindedness... He quickly glanced at Qi Wang Yang Hao, and sure enough, the latter's face was ugly, and there was anger in his eyes.
"...Qin An Gong is polite, but His Royal Highness Qi Wang is face to face, and Qin An Gong does not salute His Highness, which is not good!" The reason why Yu Shiji stood behind Yang Hao was just to express a gesture to Yang Hao. It is the principles and habits he has always adhered to in doing things. After all, after His Majesty dies in the future, Yang Hao must be the emperor, right?
So, with Yu Shiji's status, he doesn't need to express his allegiance to Yang Hao immediately at this time, and if he does too much, Yang Guang will not be happy, so he speaks to Wang Junlin at this time. He is sharp, but he is quite polite, more because he doesn't want Yang Hao to be angry with him.
"Hahaha... Mr. Yu is just joking." Wang Junlin still didn't look at Yang Hao, but continued to walk towards the door, while Yang Hao and his party were still standing there.
Being so ignored by Wang Junlin, Yang Hao was extremely ashamed and angry. He originally humiliated Wang Junlin, but the current situation is that Wang Junlin used Yu Shiji to humiliate him. He shouted loudly: "Wang Junlin, if you seek death, this king will definitely kill you."
Seeing that Yang Hao was really provoked by him and lost his mind, Wang Junlin finally set his eyes on him, but his eyes were full of pity and sarcasm, and he didn't say anything, just contempt shook his head.
Seeing that Yang Hao reacted like this, Yu Shiji smiled wryly in his heart, thinking that His Royal Highness King Qi is really stupid, such a prince, even if he is His Majesty's only son, can really become the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty in the future Don't forget that the prince Yang Zhao is dead, but there are still three emperor grandsons left, and the emperor's grandsons are established as princes. This is not without precedent in history.
And Yu Shiji suddenly thought of an extremely critical question: Everyone knows that Yang Wei is His Majesty's only son and he is going to be emperor in the future, but why does such a smart and powerful person as Wang Junlin not find a way to repair the relationship with King Qi? , and humiliating the King of Qi in such a way, it is clear that he wants to offend him to death!
