Chapter 149: Loyalty and Filial Piety
Wang Xiaojie arched his hand towards Wang Xuanying, and said in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness, the Sui army has strict discipline, even if we capture Meng Gong, they will never be arrested. And even if we barely control Meng Gong's army, don't forget that there is Xue Rengui with more than 100,000 soldiers not far from Luoyang, and we will only give Xue Rengui a legitimate excuse to march into Luoyang! ”
The eldest grandson, An Shi, smiled slightly and said, "General Xiaojie is too worried. Luoyang City is a thousand-year-old capital, extremely strong, and there is a natural danger of the tiger prison, as long as we unite as one, Xue Rengui even if there are millions of troops. ”
Without waiting for the eldest grandson Anshi to finish speaking, Wang Xiaojie interrupted him: "Even Zhang Zhenzhou and Wei Lu, who are secretly conspiring with the Sui army to seek a way out, who else can you expect to serve us?" I'm afraid that as soon as Xue Rengui's army arrives, the incorporated Sui army will all think about how to open the city and surrender! ”
The eldest grandson An Shi's mouth opened, his face turned red, he glanced at Wang Xiaojie with some annoyance, and slowly lowered his arrogant head.
Wang Xuanying, who was sitting at the top, slowly spoke: "Xiaojie, then what tricks do you have?" Let's hear it! ”
Wang Xiaojie said in a deep voice: "Shizi, the general thinks that the general trend of the world has been decided, and our Wang family has no chance to win the world again, so it is better to assist His Majesty to revitalize the Great Sui with peace of mind, so my Wang family may not have a chance to get ahead." ”
The eldest grandson An Shi on the side was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was originally worried that Wang Xiaojie would say something that would lead to the failure of the eldest grandson Wuji's plan. At this time, he immediately put his mind at ease and devoted himself to Yang Gao, not to mention that Wang Shichong's father and son did not agree, even Duan Da, Yang Wang and others would not agree, these people knew very well that with their ability to slap horses, what status would they have in the Sui Dynasty.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Xiaojie's words fell, Duan Da on the side let out a strange laugh, staring at Wang Xiaojie with a grim face: "I can't imagine that General Wang is still a loyal and patriotic person, but I don't know how much blood General Wang plans to use to pave the way for General Wang?" ”
Yang Wang also sneered: "Yes! General Wang, I thought that Meng Gong would only buy people with foreign surnames such as Zhang Zhenzhou and Wei Lu, but I didn't expect that even some people in the Wang clan were bought by him. ”
Wang Xiaojie was furious when he heard this, and pointed at Duan Da, Yang Wang and others and scolded: "You traitors and villains dare to frame Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu followed his uncle from birth to death for many years, and there were more than a dozen swords, guns, and sword wounds on his body. ”
The more Wang Xiaojie spoke, the more angry he became, he turned his head to Wang Xuanying's side, and said loudly: "Your Royal Highness, I am loyal to the Wang family, and everything I do is for the Wang family. When my uncle was defeated in Huainan, he was seriously injured and unconscious, but he desperately carried his uncle to the back of his uncle and rushed out of the siege for more than 50 miles overnight! ”
After hearing this, Wang Xuanying's originally gloomy face eased slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Brother, you are the most outstanding son of my Wang family, and I naturally know your loyalty to my Wang family." But you're just a general, and you still can't see it politically. Our Wang family has seized Luoyang, even if he really goes to Shun now, will he dare to use it? Can he reassure us? ”
"What the prince said is extremely true!"
The eldest grandson An Shi continued to persuade Wang Xuanying without lack of opportunity: "Weichen thinks that what General Wang Xiaojie said is indeed reasonable, but now we have no way out, rather than sit and wait to die, it is better to fight to the death, at least there is a glimmer of life!" ”
Wang Shiyun, Duan Da, Yang Wang and other henchmen nodded in agreement: "Shizi, what the eldest grandson said is true. Stretching out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, even if it is death, we have to bite the Sui army down with a bite of meat. ”
Wang Xuanying did not have the city government of his father Wang Shichong, and was instigated by a group of subordinates with different thoughts, and immediately took the case and said loudly: "Okay." It is really a blessing for our royal family to have your help! Brother Xiaojie, you immediately transfer all the 3,000 Huainan troops into the inner city and cooperate with the eldest grandson to capture Meng Gong alive! ”
Wang Xiaojie was so anxious that he stomped his feet, his eyes were round, and he shouted loudly: "Shizi, you can't listen to them, this will inevitably bring disaster to our Wang family!" ”
"Wang Xiaojie!"
Wang Xuanying slapped the table case heavily, walked down the steps quickly, walked in front of Wang Xiaojie and scolded: "Wang Xiaojie, I see that I will endure you again and again in the face of my brothers in the same clan, you don't know what to do." If you want to be a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty, you should be yourself, and my Wang Xuanying will be the prince and the emperor in this life. Then Yang Gao'er is younger than me, why should I be his courtier? If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for not remembering the past! ”
Wang Xiaojie was born as a military general, and the moment Wang Xuanying spoke, he felt the murderous aura on his body, and his face changed, and he retreated resignedly.
Seeing Wang Xiaojie retreating, Wang Xuanying restrained his murderous aura, waved his hand and said, "That's it, you don't need to participate in this matter." You go home to rest for a while, and the military power will be handed over to Uncle Shiyun for the time being. ”
Wang Xiaojie's face changed when he heard this, and he looked up at Wang Xuanying for a long time, and then he arched his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Wang Xuanying waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go down!" ”
Wang Xiaojie walked out of the Zheng Guogong Mansion under the disdainful and hateful eyes of many colleagues, looked up at the blue sky, and closed his eyes in pain.
Although Wang Xiaojie was born in the Wang clan, he is different from Wang Shichong and Wang Xuanying's father and son, he is a person with a great loyalty and sense of justice. In his heart, the Sui Dynasty has always been in an orthodox position. It's just because Wang Shichong is his uncle, and he helped him many times when he was a child. Therefore, although he knew Wang Shichong's ambitions, he could only secretly advise, praying that Wang Shichong would see the situation in the world clearly and turn back as soon as possible.
However, Wang Xuanying's words in the hall just now were like a sharp dagger, mercilessly tearing apart the remaining luck in Wang Xiaojie's heart.
"Maybe I'm sorry for my uncle, but I have to be sorry for this country. The Great Sui has been in chaos for many years, and I don't know how many people have died because of careerists like you. When today's Zi Shengming is born, he will inevitably be able to revive the Great Sui and reappear in the prosperous era of the emperor. You shouldn't still have that kind of ambition and become a stumbling block for the prince to dominate the world. ”
Wang Xiaojie muttered to himself for a while, slowly opened his eyes, and saw that the projected gaze became extremely firm, and he turned his head to look at the Zheng Guogong Mansion behind him, as if he was saying to Wang Shichong: "Uncle, the Tao is not the same. But I will revitalize the royal family in my own way! ”
