Turbulent Times Chapter 462: The Battle of the Court (Part 2)

"Presumptuous, the crime of beating the prince, how can you and thirteen others be able to plead for mercy, and you are a minister of His Majesty, and you are receiving the salary of the court, and you actually plead for the guilty minister for your own selfishness, don't you? Waiting for Qin Anhou's retainers will fail." Yang Su, Duke of Yue, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke the most important words at the most opportune time.

Wang Junlin could think that the pleading of the thirteen sons of a poor family would only be counterproductive, how could Yang Su not know, and would naturally make a big fuss about it.

"Hmph, officials from a powerful family put family interests first. Although I feel resentful, I can't help it. But in the hearts of these thirteen people from untouchable backgrounds like you, Qin Anhou is more important than me and the court." Yang Su's These words can be said to have immediate results. Even though Sui Emperor Yang Jian knew that Yang Su had ulterior motives, he still couldn't help but feel extremely resentful at this moment. At this time, he had seen the performances of officials from various factions in the court, especially Dou Shicai, who seemed to represent the thirteen sons of a poor family as king. Jun Lin's intercession made him even more determined, and he finally waved his hand and said, "Where is Qin Anhou, Wang Junlin?"

Wang Junlin immediately stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and said: "The minister is here."

Yang Jian said with a cold expression: "Wang Junlin, you can be convicted."

Wang Junlin said with a face of shame: "I know that I have committed a serious crime in beating the King of Han. Please punish the crime."

Seeing Wang Junlin's attitude, Yang Jian's expression softened slightly, thinking that no matter what, this person's loyalty to me is always better than those officials from aristocratic families.

"I pass on my decree, Qin An Hou Wang Junlin brought someone to seriously injure the prince. The crime is unforgivable, and he should be executed according to the law. Three years salary." Yang Jian said loudly with a little bit of entanglement.

Wang Junlin hurriedly expressed his gratitude in cooperation, knelt down and said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."

Yang Jian was very satisfied with Wang Junlin's reaction, but Yang Su next to him looked unwilling, but then thought that since Wang Junlin had lost the favor of the emperor, lost his official position, and couldn't leave the capital, he wanted to deal with him It's not easy yet.

…

After announcing his retirement, Wang Junlin strode out of the palace without waiting for anyone. The stone steps leading to the outside of the palace are very long. Scanning around, avoiding the approach of irrelevant idlers.

Wang Junlin walked out of the palace gate, looked back, his eyes were cold, the palace in front of him seemed to be normal at this moment, and everything seemed different.

After beating the King of Han, especially the scene in the court just now, Wang Junlin saw many things clearly. For example, if something like this happened to an important person from a powerful family like the Seven Clans and Five Surnames and the King of Han today, His Majesty would definitely have a lot of fear in dealing with it, at least he would never dare to have murderous intentions several times. For another example, if he, Wang Junlin, was from a powerful family, and these thirteen humble officials were attached to him, although the emperor was equally angry, he would never treat Wang Junlin like this because of this matter.

In short, Wang Junlin came to a conclusion - in today's world, no matter in the world, whether in the court, or in the Xianyin Gate, the weak are the strong. If he, Wang Junlin, hadn't still had some strengths and methods that His Highness the Crown Prince valued and His Majesty the Emperor feared, no matter how much credit he made, the ending would have been miserable.

Gao Ying, a generation of celebrities, even though the world is full of peaches and plums, and has a high reputation among the scholars of the world, but if he is dismissed, he will be dismissed, his title will be reduced, and he will be demoted to a commoner. Neither Empress Dugu nor Yang Jian have much scruples . The reason for this is because Gao Ying did not come from such a powerful family with seven clans and five surnames.

On the contrary, today's Yang Su's actions are similar to those of Gao Ying in the past. He also unequivocally supports the prince, controls a lot of power in the court, and is also a powerful minister. Yang Jian also feels very unhappy with Yang Su, but why does Yang Su Su still sits firmly in the old Gaoying position—Shangshu Youpushe, which is equivalent to the position of prime minister.

This is because Yang Su is the grandson of Yang Xuan, an admonishing doctor in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the son of Yang Fu, a general of hussars in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Not to mention how many old disciples it has in the army and the court, the Hongnong Yang family has been operating for hundreds of years, whether it is in the court, in the army, or in the scholars and the people, it has hidden huge power Or influence, forcing Emperor Yang Jian not to dare to act rashly.

In fact, in the original history, Yang Guang was domineering and forced Yang Su to death, causing Yang Su's descendants to rebel. The flag rebelled, and tens of thousands of troops were gathered in just one month. If Yang Su's descendants were not one-tenth as talented as Yang Su, the Sui Dynasty would have changed hands by then.

It is conceivable that in today's world, the power of aristocratic families can be described as a tree with deep roots and luxuriant branches, enough to make the emperor fearful. In fact, in the original history, in the late Sui Dynasty, when heroes competed for the throne, one of the main reasons why Tang Gong Li Yuan was able to stand out, defeat all heroes, and win the world was that he won the full support of his family, the Longxi Li family, and at the same time received It won the support of the vast majority of Guanlong nobles and Shandong gentry.

At the moment when he walked out of the palace, the idea of ​​strengthening his own power and strength had already been quietly decided in Wang Junlin's mind.

…

…

At this time, before noon, the sun in early spring was bright and the temperature was right. Standing under the willow tree on the side of the main entrance of the palace, holding a sword, the beautiful woman with a cold expression like a sculpture became a strange sight.

Wang Junlin did not expect that Nie Xiaoyu would wait for him in front of the palace gate, and he still looked like a cold chivalrous woman holding a sword. After being slightly startled, he smiled, walked over with big strides, and said, "Why are you here waiting for me? You look so good-looking. If you attract someone else to covet you again, and if you fail, you will be snatched away. In the end, you will be robbed." Being beaten by you, wouldn't it make me unlucky again in the end."

Nie Xiaoyu looked at Wang Junlin expressionlessly, and said: "From yesterday evening to this morning, I heard every word Ye Ying and the others in the Fuzhong said. The human being I beat was a prince. A prince, I heard that you were almost arrested by the emperor. So wait here. If you are really arrested by the emperor, I will try to rescue you. I have just stood here and have made several rescue plans .”

When Nie Xiaoyu said these words, she didn't have any expression, even cold, but because she knew her details, Wang Junlin felt a little warmth from this cold body, and he couldn't help but stepped forward to hug Nie Xiaoyu After a while, regardless of the reaction caused by Wang Junlin's action in Nie Xiaoyu's system or in his heart, Wang Junlin waved his hand and said casually, "Go home!"
