Turbulent Times Chapter 841: This is another trap
At that time, the case of assassinating the Son of Heaven was solved by Wang Junlin. Not only was the position of the patriarch and title of the seven great clans in Guanlong removed, many officials of the seven clans were also dismissed or imprisoned successively. Taking this opportunity, Yang Guang So he inserted some cronies he cultivated when he was the prince. These people have been working normally in a low-key manner for a few months. This is the first time they have exerted their strength in the court.
This is the end of the matter, if other people still don't understand that these people's words represent the meaning of the emperor, they might as well go home and hang themselves to death.
The fifteen people who had spoken just now panicked, and with a timid thump, they knelt down on the ground directly, and even those with higher minds remembered that the paper of impeachment of Wang Junlin was kept by the emperor a few days ago , already faintly understand that this is a trap, and this trap must be related to Wang Junlin, the commander of the Lanyiwei Mansion, and these people have come forward to suspect that the fifteen people who impeached Wang Junlin have accepted bribes from the Goguryeo people, this is probably just the beginning of the trap .
The Yushi Yuan surnamed who was the first to impeach Wang Junlin stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, I have no selfishness, and I have never accepted any bribes from Goguryeo. Your Majesty is aware."
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged, please Your Majesty to find out the matter and restore my innocence." Sir Yu from the official department stood up and said solemnly, but many people saw fear in his eyes.
"Your Majesty..."
…
At this time, the direction of the court changed suddenly, from the need to convict Qin Angong Wang Junlin to how the fifteen ministers who impeached Wang Junlin proved that they did not accept bribes from the Goguryeo people.
Witnessing the whole process of today's court meeting, Yang Guang was expressionless, but he was quite satisfied in his heart, because what happened at today's court meeting can be said to be directed and manipulated by him, and he likes this feeling very much. For the first time since he became the emperor, he completely controlled the court, and Wang Junlin contributed a lot to this.
Thinking of Wang Junlin, Yang Guang recalled the two things Wang Junlin gave him when he entered the palace the night before. , Yu Wenshu, Su Wei, and Dugu Changsu who have never spoken.
Yu Wenshu took the notebook and opened it with doubts in his eyes. After a while, the expression on his face became a little strange, and he handed the notebook to Su Wei who was beside him. After Su Wei saw it, he sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest expression on his face, and handed it to Dugu Changsu next to him.
Seeing Yu Wenshu's and Su Wei's reactions and the expressions on their faces, Dugu Changsu couldn't help feeling a bad premonition in his heart, he took the booklet he handed over, and cast his eyes on it.
A moment later, when Dugu Changsu's expression came out from Dugu Changsu's hand, his expression became a little ugly. Of course, this matter had nothing to do with him, but among the fifteen officials who impeached Wang Junlin, except for two Except for the members of the Hongnong Yang family, the rest are members of the Guanlong Clan. He is now the leader of the Guanlong Clan. He was worried that these fifteen people were taken down by Wang Junlin and the emperor again, which once again severely damaged the power of the Guanlongmen Clan in the court.
As this book was circulated among the officials, the sound of startled breaths in the hall could be heard endlessly, and the expressions of all the officials were different.
All eyes were on the fifteen officials who impeached Wang Junlin, among them were pity, sarcasm, sneer, and gloating.
It is not a big deal to accept the property of the envoys of the dependent countries, but when the son of the envoy of Goguryeo assassinated the Turkic prince in an attempt to provoke a war between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty, he not only accepted the property of the Goguryeo people, but also helped Goguryeo If the envoys of the country were excused, but the emperor had the evidence of their accepting bribes, it would be really stupid.
Of course, the reason why these fifteen people really impeached Wang Junlin was that they were instructed by the Guanlongmen faction and the Hongnong Yang clan behind them, and the acceptance of property from the Goguryeo people was obviously just incidental, or this had nothing to do with the Goguryeo people's view of the situation of the Sui court. It is very clear that it is related to knowing exactly who Wang Junlin's enemies are.
But having said that, it is not difficult for the people of Goguryeo to know that the Guanlongmen Clan had an enmity with Wang Junlin. The official is a member of the seven Guanlongmen Clans. This is not easy. Why do they know? Do Goguryeo people really know Sui so well? Could this be revealed to the Goguryeo people on purpose? For example——Wang Junlin...
Yu Wenshu, Pei Shiju, Su Wei, Dugu Changsu and other extremely intelligent people have already vaguely guessed that the seven great officials in Guanlong have fallen into the trap set by Wang Junlin again, and these fifteen officials have long been caught by the blue. The spies of Yiwei Mansion watched.
Of course, this excerpt will also be shown to the fifteen unlucky bombers who impeached Wang Junlin, so these fifteen people have already knelt down in despair.
"Your Majesty, it is unforgivable for these fifteen people to accept the property of the Goguryeo people, but the assassination of the Turkic prince was done by Yuan Gaisuwen, and there is no evidence that Yuan Taizuo instructed it, and the latter is after all Goguryeo. Moreover, the power of his family in Goguryeo is not weaker than that of the Goguryeo royal family, if Yuan Taizuo is imprisoned in our Great Sui Dynasty, I am afraid it will really cause war between the two countries, so what these fifteen people said is not unreasonable." Dugu Chang Su is the leader of the Guanlong Clan, if he doesn't speak at this time, it will seriously affect his position in the Dugu Clan, so he has no choice but to stand up and say something.
Yang Guang took a deep look at Dugu Changsu, smiled slightly, and said, "Uncle Guo is right, so I am going to let Yuan Taizuo go, but I can't make him so cheap. So I have a second brother here." Here's something for you to take a look at."
Another **** showed a memorial to all the ministers. After reading it, everyone's expressions were complicated, admiring or jealous, but they couldn't help but secretly marveled at Wang Junlin's powerful methods.
"Your Majesty, five thousand war horses are worth half a million taels of silver, and the price of 10,000 Korean ginseng in Daxing City is no less than five hundred thousand taels of silver. In exchange for more than one million taels of silver from Zuo, he is really a capable minister and general of His Majesty." Pei Shiju said with a smile.
"That's right, Your Majesty, moving the capital to Luoyang and building a new capital will cost at least three million taels of silver. The court is short of money, and the minister has been so worried about the money these days that he can't afford to eat. Qin An This action of the king and Junlin is like sending charcoal in the snow." Cui Qingshan, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, he is a member of the Cui clan among the seven clans and five surnames, and he has never dealt with the Guanlong clan, and what he said is not wrong.
"The two lovers are justified. Let's not talk about Wang Junlin's credit today. Come and pass on my order. Put these fifteen traitors into the prison of Dali Temple and investigate them according to the law." Yang Guang At this time, what I thought in my heart was that after today's incident, the weakening of the Guanlongmen Clan will stop here for the time being. After all, after moving the capital to Luoyang, the Guanlongmen Clan's advantage will inevitably be lost, and the Guanlongmen Clan will have to use the Guanlongmen Clan to balance it later. Taiyuan Wang family, Qinghe Cui family, Wen Xi Pei family and other great noble families in the north, and this is also the reason why he did not put these fifteen people into the prison of the Blue Clothes Guard Mansion.
