Turbulent Times Chapter 867: Information and suspicion
Some information about Shi Wansui in the original history flashed through his mind, Wang Junlin was silent for a moment, and said: "The general is dedicated to serving the country, but you must be careful when speaking in front of your majesty, and you must not annoy your majesty in the court. Otherwise, it will lead to death."
Shi Wansui didn't take it seriously, curled his lips and said, "Last year I advised Your Majesty to build the Great Wall. Although Your Majesty was furious, he would not kill me. It's just that when I think of the building that the late Emperor worked so hard to build. In the Sui Dynasty, we old ministers have worked so hard to achieve the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty after decades of struggle, but His Majesty ruined it in this way, I am heartbroken!"
Shi Wansui's tone was full of grief and desolation, and he said, "Junlin, do you know how His Majesty built the Great Wall? The Great Wall, which stretches more than two hundred miles from Yulin to Zihe, conscripted millions of civilians. The construction was completed in three months, three months! Back then Qin Shihuang called it Tyranny, and it didn’t grow like this. Do you know how many people died in the end, more than half of the million people died, and His Majesty ordered excavation. Tens of thousands of people died in the Ji and Yongji Canals. His Majesty also demanded that the Eastern Capital be built within a year and the canal be built within a year. How many people will die and how many families will be destroyed? When I went back in the Sui Dynasty, the cloth that His Majesty gave to the Turkic people was worth 30 million pieces with a single wave. I really can’t understand that His Majesty is so generous to the Hu people, but so indifferent to his own people. King’s Landing, you let How can I not persuade His Majesty."
Wang Junlin didn't speak. He could feel the worry and anger in Shi Wansui's heart, and he could also feel the concern of an old minister for the country and the people. At the same time, he also understood Shi Wansui's character. It is only a matter of time before an emperor like Yang Guang is killed by him!
Just as he was about to say something, his ears moved suddenly, and he heard a slight sound of footsteps, his face changed slightly, he walked to the door quickly, opened the curtain lightly, and saw a bodyguard of Yu Juluo away from the tent.
He turned around and was about to say something, but Yu Juluo said, "Let him go!"
Wang Junlin's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Master, do you know that this person is His Majesty's secret agent buried beside you?"
Yu Juluo looked calm, and said: "I guard the border for His Majesty, and I have a hundred thousand troops under my command. It is only natural for Your Majesty to arrange spies by my side."
Wang Junlin was silent in his heart, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "But what the general said just now, if it reaches His Majesty's ears..."
"Junlin, you must not act rashly. Killing this spy will only deepen His Majesty's suspicion." Yu Juluo saw the murderous intention in Wang Junlin's heart, and quickly warned.
"Nephew, don't worry, I'm a veteran of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, and I have made great contributions to the opening up of the territory of the Sui Dynasty. Your Majesty may be unhappy, but he will never do anything to me?" Shi Wansui looked confident Said.
Wang Junlin sighed in his heart, thinking that the unjust death of these two respectable veterans in history at the hands of Yang Guang was indeed due to certain factors, but since Yu Juluo spoke so seriously, he But it was already inconvenient to kill the spy.
…
…
Wang Junlin left Yujuluo's tent with a complicated heart. He could understand the feelings of Shi Wansui and Yujuluo. Feelings, think that the Great Sui Empire has a part of them, but Yang Guang doesn't think so, in Yang Guang's view, the whole Great Sui belongs to him.
Because of this special feeling, Shi Wansui and Yu Juluo couldn't understand Yang Guang's actions, and wanted to stop them but were powerless. Because of this special feeling, in history Luo Mingming already knew that Yang Guang was suspicious of him, but he did not take any countermeasures or escape measures, allowing Yang Guang to kill him all over the house. And similarly, because of this sense of ownership, in the original history, Shi Wansui knew that what he said would annoy Yang Guang and bring about death, but he still contradicted Yang Guang and was killed on the spot.
However, Wang Junlin didn't have time to think about the future. He was a little worried about the consequences of what Shi Wansui said just now if it reached Yang Guang's ears. It is conceivable that this kind of consequence not only affects Shi Wansui, but also affects him and Yu Juluo.
Sighing again and again in his heart, Wang Junlin returned to his big tent along the way, and immediately arranged for someone to watch the spy beside Yu Juluo.
…
…
Sui Emperor Yang Guang was also reviewing memorials in the imperial tent at this time. Since he became emperor, he has always been a busy man. His character or his state of mind at this time determines that he will not give up government affairs, so Yang Guang can be said to be the busiest person in the western tour team every day, because no one can replace him, and he doesn't want anyone to do it right now. For him, so he has been busy until late at night before falling asleep.
At this time, He Feng, the chief eunuch, came in and whispered something in his ear. Yang Guang's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Yu Juluo, Shi Wansui and Wang Junlin have a secret meeting. Is it a rebellious word?"
"Announce your spies to come in!"
Yang Guang put down his pen, Yu Juluo was a general guarding the west with a 100,000 army under his command, Shi Wansui was a highly prestigious general in the army, and Wang Junlin was the sharpest sword in his hand. With the Blue Yiwei Mansion, these three people together, no matter what they say, Yang Guang will attach great importance to it.
A moment later, the spy came in hurriedly, knelt down and saluted, Yang Guang squinted his eyes and stared at him, and said, "I will explain the whole process in detail. If you dare to conceal or distort the facts, I will punish you." Kill you."
The secret agent turned pale with fright, and secretly glanced at He Feng. For a while, he didn't know whether to tell the truth, or take out of context and slightly exaggerate what He Feng told him.
This kind of psychological conflict immediately came to fruition under Yang Guang's gaze. The spies dared not hide or exaggerate. I have said every sentence in detail, and I have to say that being selected to be a secret agent beside Yu Juluo, this kind of memory is not trivial.
Yang Guang took a look at the spy and said: "Okay, I see, you have done a good job, go down and find He Feng to receive the reward!"
Although He Feng couldn't see the anger on Yang Guang's face, but he watched Yang Guang grow up and knew Yang Guang too well. It's just that some things about these three parties are still indecision.
He Feng didn't have any grudges with Wang Junlin at first, but some time ago, Empress Xiao specially approached him to lower his posture and let him slander and assassinate Wang Junlin in front of His Majesty at an appropriate time. some things. Of course, he is still only loyal to His Majesty, and will never trap himself for Empress Xiao, so his plot against Wang Junlin has always been extremely secretive, at least he thinks it is very secretive.
After letting He Feng go down, Yang Guang paced slowly in the tent with his hands behind his back. The reason why he came to the west to tour Yongzhou, and even planned to go as far as Zhangye County, was to use troops against the Eastern Turks in the next step. To take back the Hetao land occupied by Xue Yantuo, who nominally surrendered to the Eastern Turks, and then he will follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and develop Hetao on a large scale. At the same time, Hetao will become a major strategic place to contain the Turks.
He also knows that Yu Juluo has been in Yongzhou for five years. The fish are all changed.
Wang Junlin fought against Tuyuhun, West Turkic, Eastern Turkic and Xue Yantuo during his stay in Yongzhou. It can be said that Wang Junlin fought very well in every war. Xiao, he also promised the queen to transfer Wang Junlin to other countries at the right time. In addition, the Lanyiwei Mansion has been led by Wang Junlin to gradually become more formal, so Xu Jingzong has also secretly become his confidant, and he can completely take Wang Junlin's position.
So, he was going to ask Wang Junlin to take Yu Juluo's place, help him destroy Xue Yantuo, and take back Hetao.
However, considering the rumors that Wang Junlin supported and promoted many confidant generals when he was a general in Zhangye County, so I wanted to check it out for myself. Luo and Shi Wansui met quietly and said some disrespectful words.
"If Wang Junlin is really allowed to become the governor of Yongzhou, will he support and promote more confidant generals, and will he develop ambitions that he shouldn't have?"
Yang Guang fell into deep thought for a long time, and before he arrived in Zhangye County, he began to hesitate about his original thoughts.
I don't know how long it took, but the sound of an eunuch's report interrupted Yang Guang's contemplation,
"Your Majesty, I have information from the Ministry of War."
"Submit!"
An **** presented a folded scroll on a gold plate, and Yang Guang opened the scroll expressionlessly. It said that Goguryeo wanted to send troops to Silla.
"Little Goguryeo has a lot of ambitions, defeating Silla, will definitely covet us in the Great Sui Liaodong, how can we allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch, Goguryeo will be destroyed, maybe letting Wang Junlin manage Liaodong is also a problem It's a good choice, but Luo Yi in Bingzhou was also recommended by Wang Junlin, and Bingzhou is adjacent to Youzhou in Liaodong..."
Thinking of this, Yang Guang shouted: "Come here, send Yu Wenshu to see me, and also submit a map."
…
…
The spy that He Feng placed next to Yu Juluo was named Du Si. Just now the emperor asked He Feng to reward him, but He Feng followed the emperor's order and after rewarding him, he reprimanded him again. Feeling aggrieved, he thought he was right, and now he couldn't help regretting that he was too active. If he had known earlier, he would not have taken the initiative to report the conversation between Qin Angong, Director Yu, and General Shi Wansui.
Sighing in his heart, Du Si walked out of the imperial camp dejectedly, and walked all the way to the tent where Yu Juluo was. Suddenly he felt a black shadow flashing in front of him, and then he passed out. With an expression on his face, he held Dusit in his hand, flashed into the shadows, and sneaked towards Wang Junlin's tent.
