Turbulent Times Chapter 874: The king and the minister are like a play


Yang Guang returned to the palace, he was in a heavy heart when he came to see Wang Junlin, and relaxed when he left.

Before leaving, Yang Guang stood at the gate of the Lanyiwei Mansion, pursed his lips for a long time without saying a word, his expression was as cold as iron, and he seemed to be hesitant, after standing for a long time, he finally sighed and gave up saying something' I will never let you down." After all, he promised the queen first, and now he has only one son, Yang Wei. If he is really killed by Wang Junlin, even if he kills Wang Junlin again, What's the use, even if the possibility is very low, it must never happen.

To be honest, compared with others, Yang Guang has treated Wang Junlin very preferentially, otherwise he would have killed Wang Junlin long ago. A great help to him.

Finally, before Yang Guang left, he just gave Wang Junlin a slightly apologetic look.

I dislike this kind of person very much, thinking that an apologetic look from me is very valuable.

Wang Junlin had no choice but to look directly at Yang Guang silently with an expression ready to listen, his eyes were full of admiration, the two monarchs and his ministers did not know what to communicate with their eyes, and finally they each retracted their eyes, under Wang Junlin's respectful send-off, Yang Guang led a large group of guards back to the palace.

Withdrawal of the prefectural capital and the implementation of the two-level system of prefectures and counties intensified. The nine ministers of the three provinces, six ministries and officials in the court led most officials to attack Yang Guangqun through words. The situation became more and more serious, and the atmosphere in the court meeting was tense.

Facing the opposition from most of the courtiers in the Manchu Dynasty, Yang Guang was about to loosen his attitude, and then he spoke out the strategy offered by Wang Junlin. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sudden change happened... This change, Yang Guang Of course he knew, because Wang Junlin had already told him before going to court.

Lu Youda, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, is a direct descendant of Fan Yang's Lu family. At this time, Lu Youda, who was emotionally excited, did not notice Yang Guang's gradually relaxing expression. According to the script that they had lined up last night, it was his turn. After entering the stage, he walked out, pointed at Yang Guang's nose, and shouted: "Your Majesty is trying to be a fool."

This can poke a hornet's nest. Yang Guang's greatest ideal is to become a wise king through the ages, and he has been working hard to realize this ideal. The words of Lu Youda, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, instantly ignited Yang Guang. The anger and resentment accumulated in the past few days gushed out, and an order was issued in court: "Come here, pull Lu Youda down and punish him ten times."

Lu Youda obviously expected Yang Guang to be like this, or it was the result they expected last night. Still roaring: "Your Majesty, do you want to become a faint king?"

Yang Guang became furious when he heard this. The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty seemed to be silent, but many people secretly communicated with each other with their eyes, and the next official who should speak was also ready to appear.

Seeing that the elderly Lu Youda was about to be beaten to death, the people who had been arranged earlier jumped out.

The servant of the criminal department, Zheng Chengkai, was on duty. He had just thought about what he should say in secret, and there would be no mistakes.

Zheng Chengkai naturally stood on Lu Youda's side with a clear-cut stand, his spine was straight, and he looked at Yang Guang with a pair of righteous and messy eyes.

In the past dynasties, the official rank has reached a certain level. I don't know if they are powerful or not, but they must be acting, and most of them have acting skills at the level of movie kings.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty!"

Yang Guang stared coldly at Zheng Chengkai with bloodshot fury eyes: "What do you want to say?"

Zheng Chengkai's face was full of righteousness, and he also opened his eyes, and looked straight at Yang Guang without fear: "Your Majesty, I don't understand. I have been in the Sui Dynasty for more than 20 years, and the late emperor has never given my ministers any rewards because of his words." The matter of crime, why came to His Majesty, there are people who are convicted of crimes with words, since last year, His Majesty has punished his courtiers several times because of his words, and even some courtiers were killed with sticks, what is the reason?"

Yang Guang said angrily: "The Golden Palace insults the emperor, not only to persuade? If I don't punish, how can the emperor's majesty survive? Everyone in the world regards me as a person who can be scolded and scolded, so you are satisfied?"

Yang Guang's confidants in the hall immediately cooperated and said: "I dare not wait."

But Zheng Chengkai continued to follow his own script, his eyes widened, he took a step forward, and said loudly: "Removing the state capital, following the example of Tyranny, and restoring the two-level system of counties and counties is an evil government. Where did you go wrong?"

Yang Guang pointed at Zheng Chengkai and said sharply: "Zheng Chengkai! Who gave you the courage to denounce the state affairs directly."

Zheng Chengkai has completely entered the state, convinced that he is the big loyal minister, he slapped his chest hard, and said angrily: "I have no courage, but it is for the Sui Dynasty!"

The monarchs and ministers completely collapsed. In the court, Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji and other courtiers who supported Yang Guang or did not oppose him were livid, Changsun Cheng was silent with drooping eyes, Shi Wansui sneered, Fang Qiao trembled and hesitated for a long time , was about to leave work, but remembered the words Wang Junlin sent someone to deliver last night, sighed in his heart, and did not move. The one with the most special expression was actually Pei Shiju of Wenxi Pei's family. He also participated in the conspiracy on behalf of Pei's family last night, but Wang Junlin visited him secretly after it was over.

Yang Guang saw the various reactions of His Royal Highness and ministers one by one. He thought about what Wang Junlin said when he entered the palace early in the morning. It's nothing to let another member of the Pei family enter the cabinet, he glared at Zheng Chengkai for a moment, and suddenly said: "Come on, pull Zheng Chengkai down as well, ten punishments!"

The warriors outside the hall came in and dragged Zheng Chengkai down very rudely.

Soon, there was the sound of clubs hitting Lu Youda and Zheng Chengkai outside the hall, and at the beginning there were two screams.

The officials in the palace who participated in the conspiracy last night thought that Lu Youda and Zheng Chengkai were good at acting. The Dugu Clan did not send anyone to participate last night, but they knew the whole plan and promised to be responsible for the two the next day. The guards got it done, let them play tricks, it sounds heavy when hitting, but it will be light when hitting, but the screams of these two people are really similar!

After a while, the screams gradually subsided, and a guard came in to report: "Your Majesty, Lu Youda and Zheng Chengkai failed to bear ten punishments, and have already been executed."

Everyone's expression changed immediately, and the ministers who participated in the tandem last night were even more in disbelief, and they faintly felt bad. Many people even thought that their plot last night might have been known to His Majesty , Even their conversation has been leaked, but is it the spies controlled by He Feng next to His Majesty, or the Lanyiwei Mansion, who can do this? Didn't it mean that Wang Junlin was going to be transferred outside, and he was resentful, so he wouldn't contribute to the emperor?

PS: Tonight I will be on the fifth watch, I hope everyone can support me and vote to encourage me————————
