Chapter 337 WJI Recommendations

After a while, Yang Guang said tiredly: "Traitors everywhere are not worried, but Li Yuan is my henchman, he has the support of the Guan Long family, and he will be the biggest threat to my Great Sui, but he is now in a good situation, it is estimated that it will be difficult to eradicate him in a short time, Aiqing has a way to deal with it?"

Regarding Yang Guanghui's mention of Li Yuan, Yu Shiji had already expected it, and he already had a plan in his heart, so he said unhurriedly: "Although Li Yuan is a huge threat, I also have people in Dasui to restrain him."

"Who?" Yang Guangda was overjoyed and asked anxiously.

"Three horses, the general of the town army, Su Shang, the prince of Laiguo!" Yu Shiji was a little cautious, and after speaking, he raised his head slightly and glanced at Yang Guang, for fear that Yang Guang would be furious because of this.

"Su Shang?"

Yang Guang was suddenly a little angry and sneered, "He is also ambitious, and he is no different from Li Yuan." ”

"Your Majesty, the three horses are ambitious, everyone can see it, but after all, he recognizes the Jiangdu court, and he is still a minister of His Majesty in name, and he is the concubine of Princess Yunyang, I heard that he is very good to Princess Yunyang, this is the biggest difference between him and Li Yuan. Moreover, the strength of the three horses is not below Li Yuan, and only he can confront Li Yuan, and even exterminate Li Yuan. ”

Yang Guang was a little silent when he heard this, and only after a while did he sigh and said, "Su Shang's ability is good, but it's a pity that he doesn't want to be used by me!"

Yu Shiji was also a little silent for a while, and after a while, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister now has a way to make the three horses themselves willing to deal with Li Yuan, but I don't know if to talk about it?"

"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The court paid some price, and asked the three horses to come out to fight against Li Yuan, and even eliminate Li Yuan."

Yang Guang pondered for a moment and asked, "What kind of price does Aiqing think is needed?"

Yu Shiji didn't dare to say it explicitly, thought about it, and said, "Li Yuan has already proclaimed himself the king of Tang!"

"Give Su Shang the crown?" Yang Guang's tone was suddenly unhappy, and his face was a little gloomy, "Yu Shiji, you are so bold!" ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"

Yu Shiji was a little frightened, but he didn't turn back, he knew very well that Yang Guang at this time was running out, if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to say Su Shang's proposal to be crowned king, he might not have a chance in the future.

Yu Shiji hurriedly stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister also understands that such a suggestion is very inappropriate, if it is in normal times, the minister will never make such a suggestion!" It's just that this is an extraordinary time, and I ask Your Majesty to let the ministers talk about it in detail! ”

Yang Guang stared at him coldly, and only after a while did he say, "You say!"

Yu Shiji took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that there are three major benefits to giving the three horses the crown."

"To crown the three horses as kings, first, it can play a role in stabilizing people's hearts and giving confidence to the subjects of the world. The main reason for the chaos in the world and the turmoil in the court is the instability of the people's hearts. His Majesty gave him the title of king, which was to tell the subjects of the Great Sui that the three horses had completely returned to the court, and could help the court stabilize the general trend of the world. ”

"Moreover, there are also some people in the current court who are unstable, and giving the three horses the title of king can also give them a hint that the three horses have completely returned to the court, and His Majesty can use all the power of the three horses, so that he can deter those who are about to move, stabilize the hearts of the court, and maintain the stability of the court."

"Second, giving the three horses the title of king can make the three horses confront Li Yuan head-on. The court can use the king as a condition to let the three horses send a large army to attack Li Yuan's thief army, even if they can't destroy Li Yuan in the end, at least they can buy more time for the court, and the court can take the opportunity to recuperate and regroup its strength. ”

"Third, giving the three horses the title of king may make the three horses return to the court. The strength of the allied army is strong, but the three horses have never really raised the flag to rebel, he has always regarded himself as a Sui minister, it can be seen that the three horses still have feelings for the Great Sui, he does not necessarily want to oppose the Sui, he gathered troops in Donglai County to govern, maybe it was just the situation forced to do so, or maybe he just wanted to save his life in this troubled era. ”

"Of course, the allied army is now strong and has many soldiers, even if he doesn't have much ambition himself, he can't let go of it because of this, he must also fight for the interests of his subordinates, so he neither openly rebels, nor does he want to completely submit to the court."

"Therefore, the old minister thinks that as long as His Majesty increases the reward for the three horses and his soldiers, and promises to guarantee all their interests, presumably they will be willing to completely submit to the court and fight against Li Yuan's traitors for the court."

"Moreover, there is another possibility, the old minister is worried that the three horses have not publicly accused Li Yuan of rebellion and usurpation, in fact, he has left a way back for himself, once he is completely disappointed in the Jiangdu court, it is likely that he will turn to recognize Li Yuan. At the very least, he could get a name from Li Yuan's side. ”

Yang Guang was silent, his expression was a little relaxed, and only after a while did he sigh a little and said, "Aiqing is very reasonable!" It's just that I'm really worried that once I give Su Shang the title of king, will he take advantage of the situation to make trouble, and after giving him the title of king, will he not lose his tail in the future, in that case, even if he succeeds in destroying Li Yuan, then he Su Shang will not become another Li Yuan! ”

Afraid of tigers in the front and wolves in the back, His Majesty has completely lost his sharpness.

Yu Shiji shook his head and sighed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that according to the current situation of the court, we should not think too much about it for the time being. The court wants to pacify the world, and the three horses are already the last ray of hope, because only he has the strength to fight against Li Yuan, and even exterminate Li Yuan. ”

Yang Guang pondered for a long time and asked, "Aiqing thinks Su Shang can defeat Li Yuan?"

"Your Majesty, whether the three horses can defeat Li Yuan, it's really hard to say! However, according to Lao Chen's estimate, the strength of the three horses should be comparable to Li Yuan, and the two are between the best. ”

Yu Shiji paused slightly, and then continued to analyze: "If there is still a weakness in the three horses, it is that they have lost in terms of fame and appeal. Li Yuan himself is the head of the family with five surnames and seven hopes, and he has a huge appeal to the people in the family, and now he is coercing the king to order the world, and the appeal is even stronger

"And although the three horses also hang the identity of a family member, but in the eyes of the family gatekeeper, the three horses still belong to the poor boy, and the family does not look down on him very much, and the three horses are now just a Lai Guogong, the name is not enough, and the appeal to the family is even less sufficient, so the old minister suggested that His Majesty give the three horses an identity, first, to enhance the status of the three horses, increase the appeal, so that he can better confront Li Yuan, and second, he can cut off his heart to surrender to Li Yuan, so that he can continue to be a minister of His Majesty."
