Chapter 21 The Emperor's Mind (1)
"Is this what Gao said about comparing me to a violent Qin?" Yang Guang stretched his face...
"Report to Your Majesty, today I went to Shengle Palace, the ancient city of Northern Wei. It was really ruined. Su Xiangguo praised the ancient and modern times, praised the great wall, and guarded the outside and inside, but Gao ridiculed the Great Wall built by His Majesty last year, which was made of white bones. I couldn't hear it and refuted him that the emperor built the Great Wall for the sake of the Sui Dynasty for thousands of years, but he said, "Didn't Qin build the Great Wall also die in the second lifetime? How come it will last for thousands of years?"
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Yang Guang threw the wine glass to the ground, shattering and splashing. Yang Guang was furious, "Shuru, do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Yang Guang hated Gao for a long time. Gao was the in-laws of the former crown prince Yang Yong and Yang Yong's most staunch supporter. Although Gao fled back to his old house in Bohai County on the eve of the coup in Renza Palace, it did not make Yang Guang lose his suspicion about Gao. Gao's prestige was too high, even surpassing Yang Su, so that new officials would swear to be effective and efficient.
When Yang Guang built the Great Wall last year, Gao advised him, and Yang Guang wanted to kill him, but all officials pleaded for mercy, so Yang Guang could not find a handle to kill him, so he had to let him go. But today, he actually ridiculed himself for his death in his second lifetime, which made Yang Guang unable to bear it.
"Transfer my will and speak irresponsible, deceive the emperor and the emperor, and the crimes are unforgivable. All his official titles will be removed and taken to the Yellow River to be executed!"
Gao was falsely accused by Zhang Heng, and disaster came from the sky. Gao Zheng and Su Wei drank in the tent. More than a hundred guards, like wolves and tigers, rushed into the tent and punched him over. Dozens of guards rushed forward, stripped his robe, knocked off his official hat, and tied him up.
Gao struggled and shouted, "What's my fault!"
A eunuch announced loudly: "I speak irresponsible, deceive the king and the emperor, and the crimes are not allowed to be forgiven. The emperor has issued an order to remove all his official titles and take them to the Yellow River for execution!"
"Let's wait!"
Su Wei, who was standing beside him, was anxious, "Where did the envoy Gao deceive the king? Who did you listen to?"
After all, Su Wei was a prime minister and had a high position and a powerful position. The eunuch dared not offend him too much, so he explained with a wry smile: "It was the Censor Zhang who impeached Gao Gong, saying that Gao Gong compared the saint to the tyrant Qin Dynasty, ridiculed the saint and died in the second lifetime. The saint was furious."
“Bad talk!”
Su Wei was also angry. Zhang Heng dared to falsely accuse the important officials for nothing. He said anxiously: "You guys should take a step back. I will explain to the emperor that there is no such thing."
He turned around and was about to leave, but Gao shouted, "Brother Wuwei listened to me. The Lord has been killing me for a long time. Today is just an excuse. If you go, you will definitely implicate you. Brother Wuwei, why do you have to say more if you are so destined to heaven?"
"No! If you were killed innocently, wouldn't all officials feel disappointed? I was recommended by the public to be more rewarded. Today, the public is in trouble, how can I not save it?"
Su Wei ignored him and walked quickly outside the tent. The guards in the tent looked at the eunuch who proclaimed the eunuch. The eunuch turned his eyes and said, "You can walk slowly when you go to the Yellow River!"
"Your Majesty, Gao Xiang is wronged!"
Su Wei knelt under the city of ** and shouted loudly. The city gate of ** was closed and Yang Guang disappeared. At this time, more and more officials rushed to plead for Gao. Pei Ju, Pei Yun, Zhang Jin, Yuan Zuo, Niu Hong, Yang Xuangan, Zheng Shanguo, Zhou Fashang, Yang Yichen, Yang Xiong and other nearly 100 important officials of the court knelt under the city of ** and pleaded for Gao. Hundreds of ministers knelt on the ground and pleaded loudly, which was moving.
In the imperial study room, Yang Guang could see the scene of officials outside pleading through the small window on the wall. But the more this happened, the stronger his determination to kill Gao. He had gradually calmed down and he also noticed that there was something wrong with Zhang Heng's words.
How could he say in front of so many people, "Didn't Qin Xiu's Great Wall die in the second lifetime?" Gao can at most talk about people close to him, at least Zhang Heng can't hear it, but since Zhang Heng is willing to bear this guilt, why don't he do it without killing Gao, and then kill Zhang Heng for the crime of slandering?
Yang Guang would never let go of this opportunity to kill Gao. Seeing more and more ministers coming, Yang Guang sneered and issued an order again: "Transfer my will. Su Wei uses the past to mock the present. As a prime minister, he is inappropriate. He will exempt him from his position as a left servant and dismiss him for the people!"
In order to show that he was not just trying to kill Gao, he simply dismissed Su Wei. The reason was that he said, "Those who only understand martial arts but do not know about literature will be destroyed in all dynasties.
The emperor's will was passed down, and all the ministers were sighing. Even Su Wei was dismissed and was dismissed as a citizen. Su Wei was taken off his official hat and took away the fish certificate. He felt sad. It seemed that Gao was really unable to escape this time.
At this time, Pei Ju stood up and said in great resentment: "Dear ministers, Zhang Heng has accused Gao Prime Minister and is extremely guilty. We will ask him for an explanation!"
He raised his arms and shouted, dozens of people stood up and followed him to the tent of the Censorate, but Niu Hong, the Minister of Personnel, and other officials, still knelt on the ground and shouted sadly: "Your Majesty, Gao Xiang is wronged, you should not kill him!"
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves, and Yang Yuanqing and more than a hundred guards accompanied Yang and three other little princes to return on a horse. When Yang Yuanqing saw the minister who had knelt on the ground, he was stunned. He turned over and dismounted, bowed to Niu Hong and asked, "Shangshu Niu, why is this?"
The white-haired Niu Hong sighed and said, "The Prime Minister Gao was framed by Zhang Heng. The emperor wanted to kill Gao Prime Minister. We are pleading for Gao Prime Minister. Now even Su Prime Minister has been dismissed."
Yang Yuanqing was shocked. Yang Guang was actually going to kill Gao. At this time, another eunuch walked out and whispered: "Translated by the emperor, Gao bullies the emperor and is unwilling to forgive his crimes. Anyone who asks for mercy will be dismissed. Please go back quickly!"
Niu Hong couldn't help but burst into tears, raised his hands and shouted: "Oh my God! Is the number one hero of the Great Sui Dynasty so harmed by villains?"
Yang Yuanqing was extremely anxious. He grabbed the sleeve of the eunuch who announced the eunuch and said, "For the father-in-law, please tell Your Majesty that Yang Yuanqing has something to do to see Your Majesty!"
The eunuch who announced the eunuch was the eunuch surnamed Zhu who went to Liaodong to announce the eunuch. He knew Yang Yuanqing. He sighed and said, "General Yang, it's useless. The emperor will not accept anyone's plea!"
"Eunuch Zhu, I am not doing anything for the noble prime minister, but for the affairs of Wuyuan County."
"Okay then! I'll report to you.
Zhu eunuch turned around and entered the city. Yang Yuanqing walked back down the city with his hands behind his back, and his heart was extremely nervous. Gao and him had a friend for ages, so he had to save him.
In the film, the eunuch appeared at the door and whispered loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, Yang Yuanqing, the general manager of Xuanfengzhou, will meet with you!"
A glimmer of hope arose in Niu Hong's heart. 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. At worst, I will be dismissed from my post!"
Yang Yuanqing turned around and walked towards the city of **. Niu Hong looked at his back and sighed in his heart. If even Yang Yuanqing could not save him, then Gao Zhen would be finished.
"What's the matter with me?" In the imperial study room, Yang Guang glanced at Yang Yuanqing coldly.
Yang Yuanqing also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of Gao Xiang's hard work for the Great Sui Dynasty, I beg Your Majesty to spare Gao Xiang once."
Yang Guang was furious and slapped the table, "I said that anyone who dares to plead for Gao will dismiss his official position, Yang Yuanqing! Do you dare to contradict Long Yan?"
"Does Your Majesty remember that you promised me?"
Yang Guang's face changed and he said coldly: "I don't remember, when?"
Yang Yuanqing glanced at several eunuchs, and Yang Guang waved his hand, "You all go down!"
Several eunuchs retreated, and only Yang Guang and Yang Yuanqing were left in the imperial study. Yang Yuanqing then whispered: "In Renzao Palace, on the White Jade Tower, I don't want your Majesty's reward, I just want your Majesty to agree to me in the future. Your Majesty agreed at that time."
"Dare you dare to threaten me?" Yang Guang snorted heavily.
Yang Yuanqing knew that it had reached a critical moment, and Yang Guang's tone admitted that this was the case. If he did not seize this opportunity, Gao would undoubtedly die.
"I dare not threaten Your Majesty, but Your Majesty did agree to me. I only ask Your Majesty to spare Gao Ying's life and have no other request."
The imperial study room was extremely 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 already kicked the ball to Yang Guang, and it was up to Yang Guang to see how Yang Guang fulfilled his promise.
After a while, Yang Guang finally said slowly: "Yang Yuanqing, I am the king of a country and will not break my promise. I can fulfill my promise, but you annoyed me. I will not forgive you and will remove you from your position. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Yang Guang's eyes narrowed into a slit, flashing with a terrifying light. He stared at Yang Yuanqing and said slowly: "Yang Yuanqing, I will give you another chance. I have decided to immigrate 300,000 households to Hetao. The Fengzhou general manager will be promoted to the second-level general manager, the same level as Youzhou, and the permanent 50,000 troops. If you give up this requirement, I will add you to the county magistrate and allow you to stay in Fengzhou for a long time. How about it? You must consider it clearly."
Yang Yuanqing was a little moved. The conditions offered by Yang Guang were so tempting. Fengzhou was the place where he had lived for nearly ten years. Of course, he did not want to easily lose his position as the general manager, not to mention that Fengzhou was about to be expanded. At this time, Niu Hongcang's old plea came faintly outside the window, "Your Majesty, please spare Gao Xiang!"
Yang Yuanqing made a fuss, and he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, when I was five years old, I was very wise. I was appreciated by my grandfather and cultivated. Otherwise, how could I stand out as a minister? If I am in trouble today, it would be unrighteous if I don't save him. I would rather not be the chief supervisor of Fengzhou and beg Your Majesty to spare his life."
Yang Guang stared at him for a while, the sharpness in his eyes disappeared and gradually became softer, but his tone was still cold.
"Yang Yuanqing, as a court official, you privately trade livestock with the Turks, which violates the court's laws. Can you admit your guilt?"
Yang Yuanqing felt relieved. He knew Gao was saved, and he said calmly: "I know my guilt!"
"Okay! 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. He couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
