He had only said this casually, but he did not expect to scare the Royal Highness 'Guanglu Physician Yu Shiji and Imperial Censor Fei Yun half to death. It turned out that in order to flatter the original Emperor Yang, these two people had secretly detained all the rebellion memorials from all over the world, making the original Yang Guang mistakenly think that this world was still peaceful and prosperous.
Now that the Minister of War said that the rebel army of the Tile Gang Village was even stronger than the Imperial Court's punitive army, wasn't this a slap to their faces?
The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding. Yu Shiji came out and said,""What nonsense. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been working hard to govern the country, the four seas are peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Even if bandits occasionally cause trouble, it is just a little bit. Minister Wang was probably trying to find an excuse to reduce his guilt by talking about the strength of the bandits, right? I request that Your Majesty immediately issue a decree to remove Wang Shouyi from his position as Minister of War as a warning to others!”
Yu Shiji's words were really calling a deer a horse and distorting black and white. A few ministers of the Xiao family immediately cursed,"Yu Shiji, how can you face the people of the world with such slanderous words? The country of Great Sui will be defeated in the hands of treacherous officials like you. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please kill Yu Shiji and Fei Yun. If they don't die, Great Sui will perish…"
The old minister cried as he spoke. His voice was touching. Led by him, dozens of ministers from the Xiao clan knelt on the ground and begged Yang Guang to kill Yu Shiji and Fei Yun.
Imperial Censor Fei Yun thought to himself,'I haven't even said a single word yet. Why am I included?' He didn't want to be outdone. He rolled up his sleeves and cursed. What he said was naturally absurd, but it was difficult for those old ministers to refute.
Yang Guang sat on the high platform and looked at Yu Shiji and Fei Yun, the two jester. He could not help but feel disgusted. These two people were like Fei Zhong and You Hun beside King Zhou of Shang, Zhao Gao beside Qin II, and Qin Hui beside Emperor Gaozong of Song.
The reason why the Sui Dynasty was in such a mess was largely because the two of them deceived the upper echelons, causing the original Emperor Yang to foolishly think that it was still a peaceful and prosperous era. It was only until the 18th Rebel King besieged Siming Mountain that he realized the dilapidated world.
As a transmigrator, Yang Guang naturally would not be bewitched by these two villains. Just as he was about to reprimand them loudly, he suddenly changed his mind. Because he realized that this was the best time to remove the Minister of War. As long as he could weaken the Yuwen and Xiao clans 'power in the court, what harm would it do to him to become a bad ruler?
Thinking of this, Yang Guang pretended to be furious and said,""All of you shut up for this one. A dignified official of the imperial court is scolding in court like a shrew in the market. I think that all the civil and military officials in the court are not as reasonable as Minister Yu. My hundreds of thousands of troops have been wiped out just like that. As the Minister of War, you still dare to absolve yourself. You deserve to die. Men, take Wang Shouyi's official hat and throw him into the prison of the Ministry of Justice.”
" Your Majesty, please spare me, please spare me…Duke Liang, save me…Duke Liang, save me…"
The Minister of War, Wang Shouyi, was truly panicking now. He had never thought that he, a dignified second-grade official with real power, would be thrown into prison just because of a slanderous sentence from Yu Shiji. This was simply the greatest joke in the world.
When he saw Xiao Cong's expressionless face, Wang Shouyi finally felt despair. He cursed out,""Stupid ruler, stupid ruler! If the Great Sui doesn't perish, the heavens won't tolerate it, the heavens won't tolerate it…"
Yang Guang pretended to be angry, but in his heart, he mourned for this minister. The battle in the court, the emperor's mind, where did there come so many good and evil, right and wrong? He could only blame himself for standing on the wrong side!
A smile appeared on Yuwen Huaji's face, and he nodded to Yu Shiji in approval, which immediately made the latter overjoyed.
On the high platform, Yang Guang's eyes flashed with a cold light.
The Minister of Works, Du Guo, stood there expressionlessly, as if he had fallen asleep. The main reason why he was able to stand tall and maintain his innocence in this murky officialdom was that he had never participated in party struggles. Everything that involved the battle between the Xiao clan and the Yuwen clan, no matter if it was right or wrong, he would just watch coldly.
At this moment, seeing that the Yuwen clan had finally won the battle, Du Guo could not help but sigh in his heart. He stood up and said,"Your Majesty, although the Tile Gang Village is a mayfly disaster, we must guard against it. Now that Marshal Zhang Xutuo has lost, the Tile Gang Army will definitely be more arrogant and recruit more soldiers. I request Your Majesty to send troops immediately to nip the Tile Gang Village in the bud.”
Yang Guang secretly shook his head. Du Guo's intentions were good, but his intelligence was limited. He did not understand the terror and power of the Tile Gang Village. After killing Zhang Xutuo, the rise of the Tile Gang Village could no longer be stopped.
Although he thought so, Yang Guang said indifferently,"Then in Minister Du's opinion, who should we send to encircle and suppress them?”
Du Guo muttered," The Wagang Stronghold is the leader of the world's rebel army. If we want to win, we must send one of the four people, Zhongxiao King Wu Jianzhang, Double Spear King Ding Yanping, Beiping King Luo Yi, and Shanma Pass Commander Pei Renji.”
As expected, Du Guo was already advanced in age, and his thoughts were still stuck in the past twenty years. He did not know that the nine elders of the Sui Dynasty who had dominated the world and expanded their territory were no longer the same as they were in the past. They could handle small battles, but it was easier said than done to deal with the Tile Hill Army, which had Xu Shiji, Wang Junke, and Shan Xiongxin.
As for Pei Renji, in the original novel, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent Pei Renji to attack the Wagang Stronghold. As a result, Yuwen Huaji stabbed him in the back. Not only did he fail to take down the Wagang Stronghold, but Pei Renji and his son were also forced to defect to the enemy. In fact, even if Yuwen Huaji didn't cause trouble, Pei Renji was basically no match for the Wa Gang Army.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720192:32PM
