Chapter 59: A Sad New Year
"Bastards, a group of chaotic ministers and thieves, where do they still have this son of heaven in their eyes, a group of selfish people, what they say is so righteous and awe-inspiring, Gao'er is young, hum, it's just that they are afraid that Gao'er will violate their interests when he ascends the throne!"
In the imperial study, Yang Guangqi's face was pale, his chest rose and fell violently, and he yelled hoarsely to vent his anger.
Yu Shiji, who was standing on the side, was so frightened that he practiced and persuaded: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, don't hurt the dragon body!" ”
"Anger?" Yang Guang said murderously: "How do you let me calm my anger, am I still an emperor?" I am the puppet of these pretentious civil and military officials! ”
Yu Shiji was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said: "Your Majesty must not say such a thing about the death of the country, it is very unlucky!" Your Majesty, you are the true dragon emperor, how can you be a puppet? ”
"Whew!"
After being persuaded by Yu Shiji for a long time, Yang Guang finally calmed down, let out a long breath, glanced at Yu Shiji, who was still kowtowing on the side, and said lightly: "Get up!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yang Guang's voice was no longer as murderous as before, Yu Shiji understood that Yang Guang had calmed down, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, slowly got up, and stood aside respectfully.
Yang Guang glanced at Yu Shiji with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think of today's court meeting?" ”
Yu Shiji pondered and said: "Liu Quan and Dugu Ming are both old men who have served Prince Yuande, General Yuwenshu and His Royal Highness King Zhao have always been at odds, and their reactions are actually expected, but what Weichen didn't expect was that Pei Ju would actually support His Royal Highness King Zhao to enter the East Palace!" ”
Yang Guang sneered, "This old fox, he saw early on that this was what I meant, so he stood up to support you!" ”
Yu Shiji said cautiously: "But Your Majesty, Pei Ju has at least expressed his support for His Royal Highness King Zhao, which can be regarded as a rare piece of good news!" ”
Yang Guang snorted disdainfully, "This old fox won't bet easily, although he made a statement today, but you see which of the Pei family members, Pei Yun, Pei Shiqing, and Pei Xuanji, has made a statement, this old fox is just making a gesture!" ”
"Then why don't Your Majesty recall His Royal Highness King Zhao and let His Highness come forward to win over the courtiers?" Yu Shiji suggested, "His Royal Highness is not in Jiangdu now, and the ministers don't know much about it, so there are so many people who oppose it today, if His Highness returns to Jiangdu, with his talent, he must be able to change the views of at least forty percent of the courtiers." ”
"It's late!" Yang Guang shook his head helplessly, "Yesterday, I just received a report from Gao'er, and he asked for orders to lead his troops north to recover Nanyang County and open up the road from Jiangdu to Guanzhong. At this moment, he is probably already in Nanyang! ”
"What?" Yu Shiji was taken aback, and said uneasily: "Your Majesty, now that the New Year is approaching, His Royal Highness King Zhao will not reunite with His Majesty in the palace at the New Year's juncture, I am afraid that it will be easy to be caught and criticized!" ”
"Why don't I know?" Yang Guang nodded solemnly, "But Gao'er also said very clearly, the New Year is approaching, and the thieves will definitely relax their vigilance, this is a good opportunity to enter the army!" If he takes Nanyang and opens the way back to Guanzhong, it will be more beneficial for him to enter the East Palace, and I don't want him to rely too much on those ministers! ”
"Wechen understands!" Yu Shiji arched his hand calmly and said.
。。。。。。。。。。
Time flies, and the New Year is here in the blink of an eye. Although the world is in chaos, and even the original most loyal Xiaoguo army has a small-scale escape trend because of his hometown, Yang Guang's character of loving pomp and circumstance has not changed, and he still celebrates the New Year with a banquet in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Jiangdu Palace, Wen'an Temple.
Yang Guang set up a banquet early, and celebrated the New Year with the queen Xiao, the concubine Chen Wan, the eldest grandson Yang Qi, the daughter Princess Nanyang, Princess Izumo, the concubine Yu Scribe, and the King of Qi Yang Hui, who had been confined in the palace!
Yang Yun has been snubbed since Yang Guang knew about the affair with the concubine and the disgust of the concubine in the ninth year of the Great Cause, although the prince of King Qi is still there, but all the cronies around him have been purged by Yang Guang, and their actions have been restricted.
Knowing that he had no chance to be the crown prince, he was disheartened, and indulged in wine all day long, even if it was in front of Yang Guang today, he still poured wine as if no one was around.
Everyone else was respectful and respectful in front of Yang Guang, the emperor, and Yang Yun's unusual behavior quickly attracted Yang Guang's attention.
Looking at the second son's puffy eyelids and pale face, Yang Guang couldn't help but sink his face and snorted coldly, "Jun'er, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, why do you only care about drinking alone?" ”
Yang Jun didn't raise his head, poured himself another full glass, raised the wine glass and said coldly: "Father thinks what can his son do now besides getting drunk and resting?" ”
"You..." Yang Guang was suddenly furious, slapped the case, and scolded sharply: "Rebel, I killed you!" ”
"Your Majesty is angry!" Empress Xiao on the side heard the murderous intent in Yang Guang's tone, so frightened that she hurriedly left the table, walked to Yang Guang and knelt down, and sobbed in a low voice: "Your Majesty is angry, Huang'er just drank too much!" ”
"Grandfather Huang's anger!" Yan Wang Yang Qi also left the table, and knelt down in a deep voice: "Grandfather Huang, on the occasion of a family reunion in the New Year, Uncle Huang may not have seen the little Uncle Huang depressed in his chest and drank a few more cups before he lost his temper, and I hope that the emperor's grandfather will spare him!" ”
"You're really calculating!" Yang Yun smiled coldly when he heard this, "Are you interceding for me or what are you doing?" ”
"Oh, I see!" Before Yang Qi could speak, Yang Xuan pretended to suddenly come to his senses, and said with a smile: "You want to tell your father that on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Brother Qi did not return to the palace to reunite with his family, which is inconsistent with the etiquette law, this is an act of unfilial piety, I want my father and emperor to complain about Brother Qi, and break his idea of making Brother Qi the crown prince!" ”
"You..." Yang Qi's face was red, "You are slandering, slandering!" ”
"I slander you!" Yang Jun sneered disdainfully: "Is there anyone in this world who is more slanderous than you, how did the few villains engraved with your birthday under my bed come about, you should know best!" ”
Hearing this, Yang Qi suddenly mentioned it, and pretended to be calm and said: "Uncle Huang, what are you talking about, my nephew knows that you hate my nephew, but you don't have to slander your nephew like this!" ”
Yang Jun laughed and said, "Imperial nephew, you are still not cautious enough, why don't you kill Zhao Anfu, the little eunuch who put the puppet for you back then?" ”
"What?" Yang Qi's color changed, and the words that should have been hidden in his heart blurted out, "Zhao Anfu is in your hands?" ”
As soon as the words came out, he secretly screamed that it was not good, and turned his head to look at Yang Guang with anxiety, but saw Yang Guang staring at him gloomily, and stammered: "Imperial grandfather, you... Listen to me! ”
"No need!" Yang Guangqiang held back his anger and said: "I am not in good health, I want to rest!" ”
