Zhuo County, Yang Guang's temporary palace, temporarily converted from the county guard's palace, Yang Guang was sitting behind the big case carved from jade and jade, smiling, looking at Wang Shichong kneeling in front of him.

"Wang Aiqing, this trip to the Eastern Capital, it's really hard for you, in the past year of my expedition to Goguryeo, you have dealt with so many accumulated prison matters, if every courtier has you so dedicated and diligent in the king's affairs, why would I be so bothered?"

The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth hooked up a sneer, and then changed to a loyal expression as he raised his head: "The Supreme is the hardest working person for the Great Sui, even if Weichen sometimes wants to slack off because of fatigue, as long as he thinks that the Supreme is still in this cold northern country, and is still working hard for the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui, he is so sad that he can't eat, can't sleep, and then hates his own inertia, how dare he relax in the slightest?" Everything Weichen has done is just a matter of duty, and it is really not worth mentioning compared to His Majesty's hard work. ”

Yang Guang smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, Wang Aiqing, don't be so polite, you helped me investigate Zhang Heng's big case this time, I have already carefully read your twists and turns, very good, this guy who relies on the old and sells the old, I am fighting hard in the front, but he is in the rear, saying that I am not, it is really a crime that deserves death, you can help me get rid of this big trouble, I can finally sleep in peace." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Eating the king's lu, loyal to the king, this is as it should be, Zhang Heng relies on the old and sells the old, and his words are rebellious, and it is not a pity to die." It's just ......"

Speaking of which. Wang Shichong's words suddenly stopped. Yang Guang's brows furrowed. With a wave of his hand, the other guards in the hall all walked cleanly, leaving only the three deaf and dumb guards, which was almost a tacit understanding between Yang Guang and Wang Shichong, the monarch and minister, and waited until the people in the palace were almost gone, Wang Shichong showed a mysterious expression: "According to Weichen's inquiry, the old nobles of the two capitals of Dongdu and Daxing are quite peaceful." There was no large-scale tandem, and there was no movement during the time of His Majesty's personal expedition, but Yang Xuan felt ......"

Yang Guang licked his lips: "After Zhang Heng died, this Yang Xuangan is my two major confidants, and there is also a Li Yuan, I take him with me, within my sight, but this Yang Xuangan, I can't do anything like Li Yuan." Let him just take care of logistics, after all, he has the name of the world's number one brave general. If he is allowed to join the army and does not give him command of an army, it will chill the hearts of the generals of Guan Long. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Your Majesty has your consideration, but your good intentions, Yang Xuangan may not be able to understand, I heard that he has a false title of the Ministry of Rites at home, and he is galloping back and forth in various horse archery ranges all day long, venting excess energy, and Weichen returned to the Eastern Capital this time, and it took less than two months for Yang Xuangan to visit the door, all of which were asked Weichen to say good words to the Supreme and give him a chance to serve the country on the battlefield." ”

Yang Guang sighed and pointed to a few copies of the recital on the imperial case in front of him: "These letters are also sent by Yang Xuangan or self-recommendation, or entrusted with a relationship, and even Empress Xiao specially wrote a recital to intercede for him, I am strange, Empress Xiao has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how can she have a relationship with Yang Xuangan and speak for him?" ”

Wang Shichong sneered in his heart: I will tell you that this is the politics that I talked about when I was in bed with Xiao Meiniang, if it weren't for me, how could Xiao Meiniang speak for Yang Xuangan! But there was a faint smile on his face: "It was still in the palace of King Qi, when Queen Xiao was reprimanding His Royal Highness King Qi, and Yang Xuangan happened to go to King Qi's mansion that day to have a relationship with King Qi, and also met the queen mother, at that time, Yang Xuangan also gave King Qi a few horses, and personally showed his peerless martial arts for King Qi, presumably Queen Xiao also recommended generals for the Supreme because of this." Weichen also happened to be present at the time and could testify for Empress Xiao. ”

Yang Guang frowned: "Yang Xuangan really has no dealings with the Xiao family, didn't he rely on a certain Xiao family disciple to talk about love?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "The Xiao clan is also Weichen according to the will of the Supreme, focusing on monitoring, since the last time there were rumors of Xiao Xiao's resurrection, the Xiao clan is very cautious, most of the older uncle-level figures are closed, and Yang Xuangan has also become mature over the years, most of the time is closed-door, and when he comes out in various public places, he also tries to avoid contact with civil and military officials and the family. Let the status of the Yang family decline further. ”

Yang Guang's brows softened a little, what he was most worried about was that he was fighting in the front, what kind of tandem did these clans in the rear, he nodded: "Wang Aiqing, do you really think that Yang Xuangan has no objection?" ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "No, Weichen just thought that Yang Xuangan's revenge was extremely strong, and he would definitely rebel whenever he had the opportunity." ”

Yang Guang's eyes widened, he stood up suddenly, and said sharply: "Wang Shichong, why did you talk like this, is there any evidence?" ”

Wang Shichong's expression was calm, and he said slowly: "The minister has no evidence, only his own intuition and judgment, Yang Su was removed by His Majesty because of his high merits, Yang Xuangan and His Majesty can be said to have a grudge against his father who killed the sky, so he has been waiting for an opportunity and wants revenge, in Weichen's opinion, the more he shows humility, the more he asks to go on the expedition, the more it reflects this psychology." ”

Yang Guang said in a deep voice: "Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, died of illness by himself, and it has nothing to do with me, how can I kill the heroes!" ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Your Majesty, this matter is forgive the ministers, even if it is not your order, Yang Xuangan must have thought that His Majesty did it, not to mention anything else, he refused to take the medicine at Yang Su in the end, and His Majesty has repeatedly sent the imperial doctor to offer the decoction, and everyone will know what is going on." And His Majesty has not given Yang Xuangan a military position for so many years, only letting him do some civil positions like the Ministry of Rites and Rites, and Hongluqing, isn't it also to prevent him. ”

Yang Guang's eyes were shining, and the expression on his face was cloudy, and after a long time, he spit out a few words from between his teeth: "Then it's like this now, Wang Aiqing, what do you say to do?" It's impossible for me to go and attack Yang Xuangan without any evidence, so I will lose the heart of my courtiers. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Then give Yang Xuangan a military position without soldiers, and let him supervise the grain and grass, so that it will be harmless to people and animals!" (To be continued.) )
