Chapter 338 agrees to be crowned king

"If Your Majesty can't entrap him well, once he openly supports Li Yuan, then we really have no hope."

After speaking, Yu Shiji raised his head slightly, saw that Yang Guang was still hesitating, thought about it, and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the old minister thinks that as long as the three horses are willing to send troops to fight against Li Yuan, then there is no need to consider the final result, because no matter whether the three horses can really destroy Li Yuan, the result will be beneficial and harmless for the court."

Yu Shiji paused slightly, and then said: "In the opinion of the old minister, once the two of them really confront, there will be nothing more than three results. In the first result, the two were evenly matched, and in the end, both were defeated. If that is the case, it will be a great blessing, and Your Majesty can take the opportunity to subdue or eradicate them, and then bring the momentum of great victory to quell the chaos in the world, so as to completely resolve the crisis of the Great Sui. ”

"In the second result, Li Yuan is victorious, and all the soldiers of the three horses are annihilated, or they suffer heavy losses. If this is the case, then His Majesty can punish the three horses on the grounds of defeat and take back the prince of the three horses, so that he can eliminate a major hidden danger without effort, and Li Yuan at this time must also be a big loss of strength, and His Majesty can also take the opportunity to exterminate him. ”

And the third result is that Li Yuan is completely destroyed, and the three horses win miserably. At that time, His Majesty's great enemy was eliminated and his strength had been regrouped, but at this time, the strength of the three horses was greatly lost because of the rush to Li Yuan, and the allied army could no longer support his ambitions, so he could only be honestly loyal to His Majesty and the Great Sui. ”

"And the old minister dares to say that once His Majesty gives the three horses enough status, then at least until Li Yuan is destroyed, the three horses will not have the heart of disobedience."

"And once Li Yuan is destroyed, the chaos in the world will also be reversed, and the people of the world will be re-settled, and then the three horses will lose the foundation of the people's support. At that time, even if His Majesty wants to deal with the three horses again, it will be easier than dealing with Li Yuan, who is from a noble background, after all, there are not many big families willing to support the three horses, and once he lacks the support of the people, he will become a toothless tiger. ”

This time, Yu Shiji analyzed in detail, and after finishing speaking, he stood with his head bowed, waiting for Yang Guang to make a start

In fact, as Yang Guang's most important confidant, Yu Shiji knows Yang Guang's mind very well, and he has long had some calculations in his heart about how to propose Yang Guang to be the king of Sushang.

Don't look at Yang Guang now ignoring the government and handing over all the political affairs to the imperial grandson Yang Qi, Yu Shiji knows that His Majesty is still extremely attached to his throne, and His Majesty does not intend to pass on the throne to the imperial grandson Li Qi so soon.

And the reason why His Majesty handed over all political affairs to the Taisun was because His Majesty could no longer see the hope of reorganizing the Great Sui, and could not think of a way to calm the world, so he had no choice but to come out of sight, deaf ears, and stay away from those bad things for the time being.

Therefore, Yu Shiji firmly grasped these two points and resolutely opposed them when all the ministers were proposing Yang Guang's abdication. Of course, his opposition is also very reasonable, after all, the abdication of the Son of Heaven now will cause confusion in people's hearts, which will affect the legitimacy of the Jiangdu court.

And after this opposition, putting himself in the same position as Yang Guang, Yang Guang would inadvertently favor his point of view, and then he proposed a way to pacify the world, proposing to use Su Shang to deal with Li Yuan.

Once Yang Guang is moved, then there is a seventy or eighty percent possibility that Su Shang will be crowned king.

As Yu Shiji expected, Yang Guang was very excited at this time, but he was a little hesitant.

Yang Guang thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement, and said, "What kind of title does Aiqing think I need to give Su Shang, so that he is willing to confront Li Yuan?"

"King of Fengqi." Yu Shiji hurriedly said slowly.

"King Qi?" Yang Guang's brows suddenly furrowed again, and Yu Shiji's proposal once again surprised him.

The King of Qi is a prince's title, or one of the most important princely titles. Qin, Jin, Qi, and Chu, these are the four most important kings of the Great Sui, and the sons of non-emperors cannot be sealed.

Su Shang is not a member of the royal family, and promised to make him a county king, Yang Guangdu was already very reluctant, but he didn't expect Yu Shiji to propose to be crowned a prince, and he was also the king of Qi, Yang Guang hesitated for a while.

"Your Majesty, Li Yuan is now the self-proclaimed King of Tang!"

As if he saw Yang Guang's thoughts, Yu Shiji spoke up again, "Your Majesty, although the King of Qi is the title of the emperor, but in extraordinary times, when extraordinary means are used, there is no great benefit, how can the three horses be willing to sacrifice his soldiers!" ”

After speaking, Yu Shiji said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, didn't Han Gaozu also crown Han Xin as the king of Qi back then?"

A word woke up the person in the dream, Yang Guang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, what about Han Xinfeng King Qi, didn't he die at the hands of the Son of Heaven in the end? Let Su Shang become Han Xin's second, at most, in the future, depending on Qin Tong's points, let him live, and imprison him.

"Aiqing is right, when it is extraordinary, use extraordinary means! I decided, so I did as Aiqing said, named Su Shang the king of Qi, and asked him to eradicate Li Yuan for me. ”

Seeing that Yang Guang had finally made up his mind, Yu Shiji suddenly felt secretly happy in his heart, as if he had let go of the big stone in his heart, and let out a long breath of turbidity.

As soon as this matter is completed, the back road of the Yu clan will be completed, no matter what Su Shang's opinion of the family is, with this merit in hand, it can also ensure that the interests of the Yu clan will not be lost in the future. And Yu Xi will be more confident and promising when he is on an errand under Su Shang.

"Who does Aiqing think is better to send to Donglailai in this matter?" Yang Guang asked again.

"Wenxi County Gong Pei Ju!" Yu Shiji thought for a while and replied.

In fact, Yu Shiji really wanted to recommend himself. He knew very well that Jiangdu City was already in danger at this time, and this time he might be able to avoid a killing disaster by going to Donglai City.

However, he also understood that as Yang Guang's confidant, his fate was already doomed as early as the moment Yang Guang ascended the throne, and at this time he had to stay in Jiangdu City, stay by Yang Guang's side, and coexist with Yang Guang

Otherwise, a hat that abandons the Lord and runs away will be fastened on his head, and not only will he have no place to get ahead, but even the Yu clan will sink because of this, and it will be difficult to get out from now on.

Yang Guangyan nodded, "Then let Pei Aiqing go." He is now idle, so it would be good to ask him to go to Donglai City. ”

After speaking, Yang Guang arranged for a eunuch to summon Pei Ju.

After finishing the matter, Yu Shiji was about to salute and leave, but then Yang Guang asked again: "Has Lu Aiqing heard about the matter in the Praetorian Guard?"

Yu Shiji was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed slightly, he had already heard about the abnormality of the Praetorian Guard generals, but he had never had any real evidence, so he did not report it to Yang Guang. After all, Yu Wenhua is also an important minister of the court, and at this time, he is a heavy soldier in hand, and if one is not good, he may become a false accusation.

However, at this time, he couldn't hesitate any longer, and said, "Weichen has already heard!" Although I don't know whether it's true or not, but just in case, Lao Chen suggested that His Majesty transfer Yu Wenhua and Sima Dejiao from the Praetorian Guard as soon as possible. ”

Yang Guang nodded, his face was very gloomy, but he didn't speak again.
