"Comparing me to Tyrannical Qin, is this what Gao Gong said?" Yang Guang stretched his face.

"Back to Your Majesty, today the ministers and others went to the Shengle Palace, the ancient city of the Northern Wei Dynasty, where it was really dilapidated, Su Xiangguo praised the ancient and the present, praised the Great Wall, and guarded the inside outside, but Gao Gong ridiculed that the Great Wall built by His Majesty last year was made of a lot of white bones, the minister couldn't listen to it, and refuted him, the Holy Lord built the Great Wall for the Great Sui Dynasty for thousands of generations, but he said, Qin repaired the Great Wall, didn't he also die? Where did it come from all generations? ”

"Bang!" With a loud bang, Yang Guang slammed the wine glass on the ground, shattering and splashing, Yang Guang was furious, "Zhuru, do you really think that I won't dare to kill you?" ”

Yang Guang has hated Gao Gong for a long time, Gao Gong is the in-laws of the former prince Yang Yong, and is Yang Yong's most staunch supporter, although on the eve of the coup d'état in Renshou Palace, Gao Gong fled back to the old house in Bohai County, but it did not make Yang Guang eliminate his suspicion of Gao Gong, it is really Gao Gong's prestige is too high, even more than Yang Su, so that new officials will swear to serve Gao Xiang.

When Yang Guang repaired the Great Wall last year, Gao Gong advised Yang Guang to kill him, how could he plead with hundreds of officials, so that Yang Guang could not find the handle to kill him, so he had to let him go, but today, he actually ridiculed his own two deaths, which made Yang Guang unbearable.

"Spread my will, Gao Gong made false words, deceived the king, the crime is unforgivable, remove all his officials, and escort him to the Yellow River to be beheaded!"

Poor Gao Gong was falsely accused by Zhang Heng, disaster fell from the sky, Gao Gong was drinking with Su Wei in the tent, more than 100 wolf-like guards rushed into the tent, knocked him over with a punch, dozens of guards rushed up, stripped off his official robe, knocked off his official hat, and tied him up.

Gao Gong struggled and shouted, "What am I guilty of!" ”

A eunuch announced in a loud voice: "Gao Gong has spoken falsely, deceived the king, the crime is unforgivable, and there is a decree from the Holy Authority, remove all his officials and lords, and escort him to the Yellow River to be beheaded!" ”

"Gu slow!"

Su Wei on the side was anxious, "Where did the high envoy deceive the king, who did you listen to?" ”

After all, Su Wei is a Xiangguo, a high and powerful position, and the eunuch did not dare to offend too much, so he explained with a wry smile: "It was Zhang Yushi who impeached Gao Gong, saying that Gao Gong compared the Holy Lord to the tyrannical Qin, ridiculed the Holy Lord II and died, and the Holy Lord was furious. ”

"Nonsense!"

Su Wei was also angry, Zhang Heng dared to frame the important minister, he hurriedly said: "You are one step ahead, I will explain to the saint, there is no such thing."

He turned to leave, but shouted suspiciously: "Brother Fearless listen to me, the Holy One has been killing me for a long time, today is just an excuse, if you go, it will definitely affect you, Brother Fearless, the destiny is like this, why say more?" ”

"No! If you are innocently killed, won't it make the officials chill, I was also recommended by the public back then, so I could be reused, and today the public is in trouble, can I not save it? ”

Su Wei ignored him and walked quickly to the outside of the tent, and the guards in the tent looked at the eunuch who announced the decree, and the eunuch rolled his eyes and said, "Escort to the Yellow River, you can go slowly!" ”

"Your Majesty, you have been wronged!"

Su Wei knelt under the Liuhe City and shouted, the gate of the Liuhe City was closed, Yang Guang was not seen, at this time, more and more officials heard the news and rushed to intercede for Gao Gong, Pei Ju, Pei Yun, Zhang Jin, Wu Shou, Niu Hong, Yang Xuangan, Zheng Shanguo, Zhou Fashang, Yang Yichen, Yang Xiong and other nearly 100 important ministers of the court knelt under the Liuhe City, pleading for Gao Gong, hundreds of ministers knelt on the ground, begging loudly, which was moving.

In the imperial study, Yang Guang could see the scene of the hundred officials pleading outside from the small window on the wall, but the more this happened, the more he strengthened his determination to kill Gao Gong, he had gradually calmed down, and he also noticed that there was something untrue in Zhang Heng's words.

With a veteran minister who has been high for decades, how could he say in front of so many people that 'Qin repaired the Great Wall' would not also die? , and something like that, Gao Gong said this kind of thing to people close to him at most, at least Zhang Heng couldn't hear it, but since Zhang Heng was willing to take the blame for himself, why didn't he Yang Guang do it, kill Gao Gong, and then kill Zhang Heng for the crime of framing, which can also calm the anger of the public.

Seeing that more and more ministers were coming, Yang Guang sneered, and he issued another order: "Spread my will, Su Wei used the past to satirize the present, as a prime minister, his words are inappropriate, remove him from the post of left servant, and depose the people!" ”

In order to show that he was not trying to kill Gao Gong, he simply dismissed Su Wei as well, on the grounds that he said that those who only knew martial arts and did not know anything about literature in the past dynasties would perish......

The will of the saint was handed down, and all the ministers sighed, even Su Wei was not spared, he was deposed as a citizen, Su Wei was taken off his official hat and took away the fish, his heart was gloomy, it seems that this time Gao Gong is really not spared.

At this time, Pei Ju stood up and said angrily: "Ministers, Zhang Heng framed Gao Xiang, the crime is extremely evil, I will wait for him to ask for an explanation!" ”

He raised his arms and shouted, dozens of people got up, and followed him to the camp of the imperial history platform and rushed away angrily, but Niu Hong, the official of the ministry, and some other court officials still knelt on the ground, shouting sadly: "Your Majesty, you must not kill him!" ”

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves, Yang Yuanqing and more than 100 guards accompanied Yang Tan and other three little princes to ride back, Yang Yuanqing saw the minister kneeling on the ground, he was stunned, then turned over and dismounted, bowed to Niu Hong and asked, "Niu Shangshu, why is this?" ”

The white-haired Niu Hong sighed and said: "Gao Xiangguo was framed by Zhang Heng, the saint wants to kill Gao Xiang, we are interceding for Gao Xiang, and now even Su Xiangguo has been deposed." ”

Yang Yuanqing was too surprised, Yang Guang actually wanted to kill Gao Gong, at this time, another eunuch walked out and said in a loud voice: "Spread the word of the saint, Gao Gong bullied the king, the crime is unforgivable, and all those who intercede will be dismissed, so go back quickly!" ”

Niu Hong couldn't help but burst into tears, raised his hands to the sky and shouted: "God! The first hero of the Great Sui Dynasty, was he killed by the villain like this? ”

Yang Yuanqing's heart was anxious, he grabbed the sleeve of the eunuch and said: "This father-in-law, please tell Your Majesty, Yang Yuanqing has something to ask to see Your Majesty!" ”

The eunuch who announced the decree was the eunuch surnamed Zhu who went to Liaodong to announce the decree, and he knew Yang Yuanqing, he sighed and said: "General Yang, it's useless, the saint will not accept anyone's intercession!" ”

"Gonggong Zhu, I am not asking to see Your Majesty for the matter of the high minister, but for the matter of Wuyuan County."

"Oh well! I'll take your revenge. ”

Eunuch Zhu turned around and chose the city, Yang Yuanqing paced back and forth under the city with his hands behind his back, and his heart was also extremely nervous.

After a while, the eunuch appeared at the door and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has a decree, Yang Yuanqing, the governor of Xuanfeng Prefecture, will meet you!" ”

Niu Hong had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he grabbed Yang Yuanqing's arm and said, "General Yang, Gao Xiang's life is on you." ”

Yang Yuanqing patted Niu Hong's hand and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, I must save Gao Xiang's life, and I will be dismissed from my post if it's a big deal!" ”

Yang Yuanqing turned around and strode towards Liuhe City, Niu Hong looked at his back grate, and sighed in his heart, if even Yang Yuanqing can't be saved, then Gao Gong is really over.

"What are you looking for?" In the imperial study, Yang Guang glanced at Yang Wuqing coldly.

Yang Yuanqing also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of Gao Xiang's hard work for the Great Sui for half his life, I beg Your Majesty to spare Gao Xiang once." ”

Yang Guangda was furious and slapped his hands on the table, "I have said, whoever dares to intercede for Gao Gong will remove his official, Yang Yuanqing!" Do you dare to contradict Long Yan? ”

"Your Majesty still remembers promising Weichen one thing?"

Yang Guang's face changed, and he said coldly: "I don't remember, when?" ”

Yang Yuanqing glanced at several eunuchs, and Yang Guangyi waved his hand, "You all go down!" ”

Several eunuchs retreated, and only Yang Guang and Yang Yuanqing were left in the imperial study, and Yang Yuanqing said in a low voice: "In Renshou Palace, on the White Jade Pagoda, the minister does not want His Majesty's reward, but only asks His Majesty to promise the minister one thing in the future, and His Majesty agreed at that time." ”

"You dare to blackmail me?" Yang Guang snorted heavily.

Yang Yuanqing knew that it had reached a critical moment, and Yang Guang's tone was that he had admitted that there was such a thing, and if he didn't seize this opportunity, Gao Gong would definitely die.

"The minister didn't dare to blackmail His Majesty, but His Majesty did agree to the minister, and the minister only begged His Majesty to spare Gao Gong's life, and there was nothing else to ask for."

The imperial study was unusually quiet, Yang Guang looked at the roof, as if he was thinking about something, Yang Yuanqing knelt on the ground, without saying a word, he had kicked the ball to Yang Guang, it depended on how Yang Guang fulfilled his promise.

I don't know how long it took, Yang Guang finally said slowly: "Yang Yuanqing, I am the king of a country, I will not break my word, I can fulfill my promise, but you have annoyed me, I will not spare you, I will remove you from your position, do you understand?" ”

"The minister understands!"

Yang Guang's eyes narrowed into a slit, flashing with a terrifying light, staring at Yang Wuqing and said slowly: "Yang Yuanqing, I will give you another chance, I have decided to immigrate 300,000 households to Hetao, and the governor of Fengzhou will be promoted to the second level of governor, the same level as Youzhou, with 50,000 troops stationed, if you give up this requirement, I will crown you as the county prince and allow you to stay in Fengzhou for a long time, how about it?" You need to think about it. ”

Yang Yuanqing was a little moved, Yang Guang's conditions were too tempting, Fengzhou was the place where he had lived for nearly ten years, of course he didn't want to lose his position as the head of the city easily, not to mention that Fengzhou was about to expand, at this time, Niu Hong's old pleading voice faintly came from the window, "Your Majesty, please spare Gao Xiang!" ”

Yang Yuanqing's heart was crossed, he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, when the minister was five years old, he was more discerning, and the minister was appreciated by his grandfather and cultivated, otherwise as a minister, how could he get his head?" Gao Xiang is in trouble today, if the minister does not save him, it is unjust, the minister would rather not be the governor of Fengzhou, and beg His Majesty to spare his life.

Yang Guang stared at him for a long time, the sharpness in his eyes disappeared, and gradually became softer, but his tone was still cold.

"Yang Yuanqing, as an official of the imperial court, you have violated the laws of the imperial court by buying and selling livestock with the Turks privately, can you plead guilty?"

Yang Yuanqing's heart was relieved, he knew that Gao Gong was saved, and he also said calmly: "The minister is guilty!" ”

"Alright! You retreat. ”

Yang Yuanqing retreated, Yang Guang walked to the window and looked at Niu Hong and dozens of other officials who were still kneeling on the ground and refused to give up, and he couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart.
