"Your Majesty, Xiao Guogong and Wang Guogong will ask to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty outside the north gate!"

Wang Sheng's face changed, and he raised his head in confusion.

Isn't it just to arrest the ordinary sons of families who dare to provoke His Majesty, why did Xiao Guogong and Wang Guogong ask for an audience together?

Could it be that this person is really unprovoked?

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty gave Wang Sheng a reassuring look, and then spoke: "Let the two princes enter the palace, and by the way, put desserts and tea in the side hall for General Wang Sheng, and wait for the widow to negotiate with the two princes, Wang Sheng will wait for the summons!" ”

Wang Sheng immediately agreed, and followed the little eunuch to the side hall to wait!

He opened a crack in the door, only to see Wang Guogong and Xiao Guogong walking into the main hall in a very anxious manner, and then he faintly heard the sound coming!

And the roar of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty penetrated the thick wooden door of the palace and reached his ears.

Li Shan wiped the cold sweat on his head and came to the side hall from the main hall!

Wang Sheng immediately came up: "Manager Li, what's the situation right now!" ”

Li Shan shook his head: "I have been by Your Majesty for a while, and I have never seen Your Majesty make such a big fire, you kid really stabbed a big basket!" ”

Wang Sheng looked innocent: "Chief Manager Li knows that this Xue Ju connived at his subordinates and almost defiled the wife of a school captain, this school captain is a general under my Wang Sheng, how can I, Wang Sheng, watch it!" ”

Li Shan glanced at him: "You kid has a lot of means, but you didn't do anything wrong this time, Your Majesty has said before, you must give Li Keshi an explanation, you did a good job, don't worry." ”

Wang Sheng frowned, and was about to ask again, but suddenly saw the door of the side hall open, and Wang Guogong's old face was full of hideousness, pointing at Wang Sheng and scolding loudly.

"Son, don't get out quickly, do you really want the old man to die of anger?"

Wang Sheng was not angry, but vaguely saw the warning on the old man's face!

Wang Sheng thought about it, pulled the corners of his mouth, and walked into the hall!

Looking up, I saw Emperor Yang Guang of Sui's face gloomy as water, sitting quietly on the soft couch.

His eyes swept over the three of them and he snorted coldly and said, "What's wrong with Wang Sheng? That Xue Ju rushed to connive at his subordinates in Daxing City, intending to defile the wife of the captain of this dynasty, this matter has been learned by the widow, this is enough to kill him thousands of times in the eyes of the widow, you two are the princes of the Great Sui Kingdom, but here to intercede for a sinner, do you really think that the widow is faint and incompetent? ”

After Emperor Yang Guang of Sui finished speaking, Xiao Guogong and Wang Guogong were shocked, and quickly stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister doesn't know what Xue Ju has done, but in terms of the evidence currently in the hands of the Ministry of War, Xue Ju did not participate in this matter, although there is an impropriety of His Majesty, but it is not unforgivable! If Xue Ju is only convicted for this, I am afraid that the hundreds of officials above him will not be convinced! ”

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty frowned, he faintly felt that he had touched the fundamental interests of these families!

Otherwise, this Xiao Guogong and Wang Guogong obeyed Yang Guangyan, and they had already cooperated in the case, why did they hurriedly intercede for Xue Ju today!

Thinking of this, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui sneered in his heart, but his face was still indifferent.

He turned his head to look like Wang Sheng, his eyes were as calm as water!

One and Emperor Yang of Sui's eyes, Wang Sheng immediately understood in his heart, avoided Wang Guogong's eyes to stop him, strode to the side of the two and said.

"Your Majesty, this Xue Ju is rampant, and he also injured several city defense soldiers when he was arrested, which shows that he has no respect for the imperial court! And he didn't repent, which angered Jingzhao Mansion and directly imprisoned him in the heavenly prison! These two crimes are enough to make his head fall to the ground! Xiao Guogong and Wang Guogong said this, according to the last general, either they accepted bribes from the Xue family in Hedong, or they were in the same league with this Xue Ju! ”

Wang Sheng bit too hard!

made Xiao Guogong's eyes almost pop out!

Wang Guogong on the side was also trembling with anger, staring at Wang Sheng and eager to devour him alive!

Facing such a gaze from the two princes, Wang Sheng forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and made a tough statement with his neck up!

"Your Majesty! Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, only meritorious service is rewarded, and punishment is the law, although Xue Ju is wrong, but it does not hurt his life, and please send someone to investigate carefully! ”

Wang Guogong also said: "There are many unclear points in this matter, and it needs to be carefully inquired and ascertained, so as not to make the officials feel cold..."

As soon as Wang Guogong said this, a cold light flashed in the smoke and dust of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui!

"Hundred officials? When will the hundred officials who have been raised by the Great Sui River and Mountains not come to defend the widows! Instead, go to maintain a Hedong Xue family! ”

Thinking in his heart, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui did not show it on his face, but waved his hand in an unusually gloomy manner: "This matter is known to few people, so let's step back for the time being!" ”

Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, he should take it down and turn around and leave!

The two princes glanced at each other, Xiao Guogong shook his head at Wang Guogong, and he shouldn't be in a hurry when he is frustrated!

Wang Guogong could only salute respectfully, and then the two princes left the palace hall together!

Watching these two princes leave, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui frowned.

Li Shan served two cups of soup and put them in the corner of the table.

"Your Majesty, what the two princes said is not wrong, the Xue family has moved to Hedong since the end of the Han Dynasty, and the family is still martial, and now there are many armies in the border passes, and there are not a few leaders of the Xue family! Moreover, the Xue family has a close marriage with many families, and this Xue Ju is a rare talent in the Xue family's generation, if Your Majesty wants to kill this person just because of such a trivial matter, it will not only attract dissatisfaction among the officials, but I am afraid that even the Xue family will have other thoughts! ”

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty took a deep breath: "In this way, in this Hedong Fenyin and other places, this Xue family is the same!" ”

Li Shan didn't dare to answer directly, but said: "This Hedong county guard will send a large amount of grain and grass to the imperial court every year, as well as many rare things!" Sui Gong is extremely good, and most of the tens of thousands of soldiers under him are probably from the Xue family! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty realized that the Xue family in Hedong was not an ordinary family as he thought!

This Hedong Xue family not only controls the land of a county, its function is equivalent to the feudal officials, but also has a very high degree of recognition in Longyou, and the intermarriage with the major families has also continued for several generations, it has long been a watch and mutual assistance, Wang Guogong and Xiao Guogong are small families who moved from the south to station in Longyou, and they have their current position after several years of development!

And this Xue Ju's position in Hedong is probably equivalent to that of today's prince!

If you want to kill him, it will inevitably lead to other counterattacks!

Knowing this, the situation in front of you is clear!
