Turbulent Times Chapter 1164: The court dispute and the hatred of Empress Xiao
After the news of what Wang Junlin did in Goguryeo this time spread, the world was in an uproar. Many people thought of Wang Junlin's illustrious deeds in the past few years, and they all thought that a poisonous general is a poisonous general. The peerless murderer who wins more with less and works miracles.
As far as Yang Guang is concerned, the content of Wang Junlin's good news also satisfies him very much, and Wang Junlin's acquaintance makes him very happy.
Wang Junlin attributed all the things he did in Goguryeo to His Majesty the Great Emperor's strategizing in the lines of the victory report, showing his attitude that these actions were all done under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor.
Overjoyed, Yang Guangda read the victory report in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
After all the officials congratulated His Majesty the Emperor, Yang Guang proposed to reward Wang Junlin, but some people began to object, which made Yang Guang quite annoyed.
"Your Majesty, these are all the credits of His Majesty. Wang Junlin is only following orders, but he is proud of his merits and is lawless. He didn't come to Luoyang to pay His Majesty's orders. Forgive me. Your Majesty should immediately arrest him and put him in prison, so as to rectify the strictness of the law." Yu Wenshu not only disagreed with rewarding Wang Junlin, but also jumped out, filled with righteous indignation, clamoring to punish Wang Junlin for his crimes.
Yu Wenshu, father and son, have formed a deadly feud with Wang Junlin. Yu Wenshu never wants to see Wang Junlin become more and more powerful, and Yu Wenshu is full of deep jealousy towards Wang Junlin. There are many responsibilities for the fiasco, and the title has not been restored so far, but Wang Junlin has done such great things one after another. Any one of them can be called a great victory and a peerless achievement.
These days, Yang Guang is jealous and jealous of Wang Junlin. Besides Hongnong Yang, there is also Yu Wenshu who is on the sidelines or secretly contributing to the flames...
I thought that Wang Junlin could completely lose His Majesty's favor and decline from then on, but Wang Junlin would do so many great things.
Yu Wenshu is feeling uncomfortable. Although Wang Junlin tried his best to rely on His Majesty the emperor, there are too many loopholes in this matter. What Yu Wenshu said just now is one of them. Normally, Wang Junlin is so successful. I want to come to Luoyang in person.
So how can Yu Wenshu let go of this kind of loophole opportunity?
Yang Guang listened, his eyes fixed, and he thought that he might order Wang Junlin to lead 10,000 Goguryeo captives and Yuan Taizuo
Go to Beijing to award him a reward, let's beat him and see if he dares to go to Beijing.
"General Yuwen's words are wrong."
Before Yang Guang opened his mouth, Pei Shiju stood up and said loudly: "Wang Junlin didn't take the initiative to enter Beijing, of course it is inappropriate, but the victory report clearly stated that there are tens of thousands of pirates on thousands of overseas islands in the newly occupied Annan County of Goguryeo. Rebellious and unruly, if Wang Junlin hadn't been in Fanyang County, maybe he would go back and forth as soon as he left. If Annan County was lost, if the 40,000 pirates rebelled, and if the thousands of overseas islands were lost, who would be responsible for this. Therefore, I think it is understandable that Wang Junlin did not return to Beijing in time to pay the edict."
Pei Shijuan's words immediately attracted more than a dozen people to nod in agreement and express their support. These people are the result of Xu Jingzong and Shen Guang's hard work in the past two days, and they are also the officials Pei Shiju and Yu Shiji secretly ordered. for.
Yu Wenshu complained secretly from the side, wondering why so many people supported Wang Junlin.
He was thinking about how to retort, and many people in the court stood up one after another, saying that Wang Junlin's actions were inappropriate, but this was a special matter,
Especially those military generals, who spoke fiercely and filled with righteous indignation.
It’s no wonder, after the disastrous defeat at the hands of the Goguryeo people some time ago, the whole army was very sad. Many comrades and brothers died in Goguryeo. They hated the Goguryeo people the most, but now Wang Junlin has avenged them. , and the victory report also mentioned that more than 90,000 Sui troops were rescued, how could they not like it.
Yu Wenshu, Hongnong Yang's, and other aristocratic families did not want to see Wang Junlin become more and more powerful, so many people stood up to express their opposition and continued to use the excuse Yuwen Shu just said to oppose Jing Wang Junlin Conferring rewards, the two sides quarreled, from the beginning of the debate to the subsequent attacks on each other.
The topic got further and further away, causing Yang Guang to frown again and again.
On the one hand, he was also a little annoyed that Wang Junlin didn't take the initiative to come to Luoyang; but on the other hand, after listening to Yu Shiji's words two days ago, he had already decided to give Wang Junlin a reward.
Yang Guang was disturbed by the quarrels of the officials, couldn't help scolding angrily, then flung his sleeves and retreated.
After returning to Xiyuan, Yang Guang was still troubled by this. This Wang Junlin really doesn't know what is good or bad, why is he still worried that I will kill you, so he didn't take the initiative to come to the capital to pay the order? It's all right now, I
If you want to award a reward, people use this as an excuse to oppose it.
"Your Majesty, why are you so troubled?"
At some point, Empress Xiao came to Yang Guang's side.
"Zitong, you're here!" Yang Guang sighed, "Isn't it because of Wang Junlin? He has made great achievements, but he seems unwilling to come to Luoyang. The court wants to give him a big reward. On the other hand, he has to be punished. I am also troubled by this, thinking about how to solve this matter."
Empress Xiao sat down beside Yang Guang, took his hand and stroked it lightly.
When Yang Guang was still the King of Jin, he was often upset during the dispute with his elder brother Yang Yong for the crown prince. Every time at this time, Empress Xiao sat beside him like this, making him feel at peace.
"Zitong, what do you think?"
A trace of hatred flashed in Empress Xiao's eyes, she and Wang Junlin had the same feud, but she smiled slightly and said, "Does Your Majesty have any hatred for Wang Junlin?"
Yang Guang sighed, and said: "How can there be no hatred? Although this son has made great achievements, he may not have the intention of disobedience, but he may not have the intention of disobedience."
"Since this is the case, why does Your Majesty need to reward him?" Empress Xiao said immediately.
Yang Guang sighed again and again, explaining what Yu Shiji said to him.
When Empress Xiao heard this, she immediately understood that Yang Guang's idea of rewarding Wang Junlin could not be changed. Give a false name that will not increase his actual power, such as a title."
Yang Guang's eyes lit up, thoughtful, and said: "Zitong's words are reasonable, so what if I give him a king with a different surname, his official position and everything will remain the same, and he will be rewarded heavily After his subordinates, his subordinates will still be grateful to me, which can be regarded as alienating the relationship between Wang Junlin and his subordinates to a certain extent."
Just when Yang Guang listened to Empress Xiao's intention and was about to act in this way, Wang Junlin's memorial to his subordinates asking for credit was also sent to Luoyang.
Ignoring the red-faced quarrel among the officials in the court, Yang Guang immediately issued an edict and issued an edict, rewarding Wang Junlin with a false name, and at the same time emphatically punishing the confidant subordinates mentioned in his memorial. Award.
