Turbulent Times Chapter 1163: The government and the opposition are shocked
Yu Shiji said: "Your Majesty, I heard that after Wang Junlin led 10,000 cavalry to attack Pyongyang City, Gao Jianwu, the lord of Goguryeo, disappeared. Now Goguryeo has been ruled by Yuan Gaisuwen, the son of Yuan Taizuo. Goguryeo is deeply rooted, no less than the seven clans and five surnames of our Great Sui Dynasty, the minister's spies mentioned in a secret letter that Yuan Gai Suwen secretly sent envoys to contact Wang Junlin, and was willing to redeem Yuan Taizuo with 500,000 taels of silver."
Yang Guang's face suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly: "I will now order that Wang Junlin send Yuan Taizuo to Luoyang in an expedited 800 miles."
Yu Shiji pretended to hesitate and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. The spies of the minister mentioned that Wang Junlin hired more than 40,000 pirates at sea to fight this battle, which exhausted his years of savings. The direct descendants have suffered heavy losses. The five hundred thousand taels of silver may be extremely important to Wang Junlin. Although Wang Junlin dare not violate His Majesty's will, if he said that Yuan Taizuo had died of illness, and then secretly exchanged Yuan Gaisuwen for five One hundred thousand taels of silver, His Majesty has nothing to do with him."
Yang Guang's face turned ugly again, he gritted his teeth and said, "Did the spies you sent find out that Wang Junlin had disobedience."
Yu Shiji quickly said: "Your Majesty, at least the minister's spies didn't find that Wang Junlin had any intention of disobeying the minister, but Wang Junlin was already rebellious. When the minister's spies found out that he had humiliated Fan Yang and the Lu family, he said something. In other words, he said that he wanted to establish his own powerful family to replace Lu's position among the seven clans and five surnames. In addition, His Majesty also knew that Wang Junlin was famous for his poison and fierce reputation. Such a person can be a hero, but he will never Conditions, and the lack of ability to plot the world, so I concluded that Wang Junlin just wanted to be a hero, or he had the heart of disobedience, but he definitely had no intention of disobedience."
Yang Guang's face softened a little. Are there still few people in his world who have the heart of disobedience? If Wang Junlin just wanted to be a hero of one side, but still be his own subject, that would be considered good. Moreover, he knew that Wang Junlin had no friendship with Yu Shiji, and Yu Shiji usually slandered Wang Junlin a lot, so he believed Yu Shiji's words. Conversely, if Xu Jingzong, Shen Guang, or even Pei Shiju came here today, he would be suspicious.
Seeing that his statement had been accepted by Yang Guang, Yu Shiji stood up
Strike while the iron is hot, and said: "Your Majesty, there are rebels everywhere in the world right now, and every powerful family is ready to move. A peerless sword like Wang Junlin must never break its sheath. Moreover, Wang Junlin has a saying that the famous family is a guest star. Looking at Wang Junlin Since he was born, the Changping Wang Qiu family and Guan Longyu family have been destroyed by him, the Hongnong Yang family has been severely injured by him, and the Fanyang Lu family has been lingering under his nose. Nowadays, those untouchables in the world of His Majesty are just a little trouble. Sooner or later It will be wiped out by His Majesty's army, but if a powerful family raises its flag to rebel, it will overthrow His Majesty's country, and His Majesty can use Wang Junlin's sharp sword to kill them at that time."
Yang Guang thought for a while, then nodded, he was persuaded by Yu Shiji, and said in a deep voice: "According to Aiqing, how can I continue to hold Wang Junlin's sharp sword in my hand and use it for me?" , and can also let him obediently send Yuan Taizuo to Luoyang."
Yu Shiji immediately said: "Your Majesty, Wang Junlin is now full-fledged. At least the Annan County of Goguryeo has been controlled by him. The 40,000 pirates who are still overseas have been out of the control of the court. Your Majesty forcibly issued an order. If Junlin doesn't follow the order, he will tear his skin apart. If he rebels, not only Fanyang County will be in danger, but even if Wang Junlin's rebellion is put down, Wang Junlin can go overseas and become the king of overseas countries. Support the Kim family to establish a country in Annan County."
Yang Guang took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Aiqing's intention is to let me take advantage of Wang Junlin's great contributions to reward him. Now that he is already the Duke of the state, is it to reward him as a king with a different surname?"
Yu Shiji quickly bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Junlin led the navy to conquer Goguryeo all the way. It was originally according to His Majesty's will, and the Silla Kingdom and Baekje Kingdom were willing to join Wang Junlin in ambush Yuan Taejo. There is His Majesty behind Wang Junlin, and there is my Great Sui. Therefore, all the credits of Wang Junlin in Goguryeo are related to His Majesty. It is His Majesty who planned and planned thousands of miles away. With self-knowledge, you still remember that all his great achievements are the result of His Majesty's schemes, and it will not be too late for His Majesty to reward him again after reading the contents of his rewards and merits."
Yang Guang looked at Yu Shiji with satisfaction, and praised: "Aiqing is only thinking of me, and I am very satisfied,
Just do what Aiqing says! "
…
…
Yu Shiji was able to persuade Yang Guang, on the one hand, because he had already figured out Yang Guang's mind and character, and on the other hand, he knew Yang Guang's current mood.
After the disastrous defeat of Goguryeo, Yang Guang lost the face of the boss in front of the envoys of the ninety-nine dependent countries. Moreover, because of this failure, Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan Duji was a little moved. Recently, the Turkic people in the north are ready to move, and there have been several incidents of raiding the border and looting border villages and towns.
In addition, the continuous uprisings in the world, and the secret conspiracy of various powerful families, Yang Guang also believed that it was the failure of the conquest of Goguryeo, which made his prestige decline.
Therefore, Yang Guang couldn't wait for some achievements and some celebrations to publicize the great Sui national prestige and restore his imperial prestige.
If Wang Junlin credits Yang Guang with his calculations for the things he did in Goguryeo, then there will be a ceremony of offering captives, 10,000 Goguryeo captives, and then in front of the envoys of various countries, he will be the culprit who caused the Sui army's disastrous defeat The culprit, Yuan Taizuo, was hacked into pieces... Yang Guang couldn't refuse this kind of temptation.
In short, Yang Guang needs a prisoner offering ceremony to raise his face. Let's see, it's not under my rule in the Sui Dynasty, but there are also a lot of talents. Only one prefect of the county can turn Goguryeo upside down... and even split Goguryeo into two countries. There are countless capable people in the Sui Dynasty, and Goguryeo is just a mantis arm.
Two days later, the news of Wang Junlin's success spread to Luoyang, which shocked the government and the people, and shocked the whole world.
After leading an army of one million to defeat Goguryeo, who would have thought that Wang Junlin would lead a navy of 30,000 to 40,000 to occupy a county of Goguryeo, break through Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, and let the lord of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, escape in embarrassment. It even annihilated the 70,000 Goguryeo army successively, and captured the Goguryeo Prime Minister Yuan Taejo.
Since Wang Junlin was transferred to Fanyang County as the prefect two years ago, although there are still many people in the ruling and opposition parties and various powerful families secretly paying attention to Wang Junlin, Fanyang County is far away from the remote seaside and has faded out to a certain extent The central core of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the people of the world have not heard the news of the poisonous general Wang Junlin for a long time.
