And Yang Guang still has a lot of important things to consider, to plan, to give instructions, so early in the morning, Yang Guang came to the imperial study and began to review the folds.

At this time, he opened a fold, which was Zhang Tianqiao, the squire of the Criminal Department, who reported that Jingyang Temple outside the city secretly colluded with Nanchen Yuxi, and was discovered by the Criminal Department, and with the help of the blue-clothed Wei Mansion spies, 37 anti-thieves were arrested and 45 were killed.

There are remnants of the Chen Dynasty and secretly stirring up trouble, Yang Guang still knows about this matter, so Yang Guang looked relieved and said casually: "I will praise Zhang Tianqiao, and he will be fully responsible for the Jingyang Temple case." ”

The attendant next to him agreed, and went to deliver the decree.

Yang Guang picked up another notebook, and his brows frowned slightly, this is more than a dozen officials jointly impeaching Wang Junlin for wanton and recklessly, putting the prime minister Yuan Taizuo, who served as an envoy of Goguryeo, into prison, affecting the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Yang Guang could see at a glance that among the ten officials, except for Yang Xuangan, the others were all from the Guan Long family, and after thinking about it for a while, he snorted coldly and decided to stay in the middle of the line.

But this twist and turn aroused Yang Guang's contemplation.

Since the rebellion of the annexed states was pacified, he first solved three major problems, one was to set up the crown prince, the second was to move the capital to Luoyang, and the third was the layout of the imperial court's power. The crown prince has been established, and the East Palace has been stabilized, although the second son Yang Jin's various actions made him extremely angry and disappointed, but it also made him more convinced that it was correct to make the eldest son the crown prince. And the move of the capital to Luoyang, with the efforts of him and Wang Junlin, has also achieved its goal, and now it is only implemented. Therefore, the next step is to start working on the new power structure of the imperial court.

As an emperor, he pays attention to the art of balance, and never allows a family to dominate, and it is precisely because of this that he did not exterminate the Guanlong nobles, he wanted to leave a part to fight against the northern scholars, and at the same time he also had to support and support the southern scholars, forming a situation of three powers. And above the court, no matter whether Yang Su is really dead or faked, the suppression of Hongnong Yang must continue, and at the same time prevent the emergence of the second Yang Su, now there is the Blue Guard Mansion led by Wang Junlin, and if it is used well, it can well prevent the emergence of any powerful ministers, but it is also necessary to prevent the backlash of the Blue Guard, after all, a powerful person like Wang Junlin leads the Blue Guard

It is easy to cause panic inside and outside the government and the opposition.

Thinking of Yang Su, Yang Guang still has a deep jealousy, because the previous Yang Su was not only the first important minister of the imperial court, but also the first commander of the army, both military and political hands are very hard, which makes Yang Guang deeply jealous, in front of Yang Su, he even sometimes feels very small and cowardly, his emperor's prestige is not as powerful as Yang Su's power, many people in the world only know Yang Taifu, but do not know His Majesty the Emperor.

Whether it is from the balance of power, or from the consideration of increasing his prestige, Yang Guang can no longer tolerate Yang Su after succeeding to the throne, but he can't kill Yang Su with one sword, that will cause chaos in the court, and that is not what an emperor should do, after all, Yang Su has the merit of supporting it, just when Yang Guang wanted to get rid of Yang Su in other ways, Wang Junlin had already done it for him, and now that he thinks about it, many things Wang Junlin seems to be able to know what he thinks in advance, so everything makes him very comfortable.

In short, Yang Guang decided to continue to suppress the Yang family, so that the Yang family's status among the scholars was reduced, and the leader of the northern scholar clan was demoted to an ordinary second-rate family.

The suppression of the Hongnong Yang clan made Yang Guang inevitably think of Wang Junlin, who had an irresolvable grudge with the Hongnong Yang clan, so Wang Junlin was undoubtedly the best candidate, and he couldn't think of anyone more suitable than Wang Junlin.

It's just that he is a little worried that giving Wang Junlin too much power and killing too many people will make Wang Junlin more and more arrogant, and the grudge between Empress Xiao and her second son Yang Jun and Wang Junlin is not small, and he is also worried that Wang Junlin will devour the lord.

"Maybe it's the right choice to use the sword of Wang Junlin to get rid of all the people inside and outside the court who should be removed, and then send them to the place." Yang Guang thought to himself in his heart.

"Your Majesty, King Qi is here, I'll see you outside!" A eunuch at the door reported it.

"Announce his audience!" Yang Guang snorted coldly and said.

The eunuch went out, and then there was a long shout: "Your Majesty has a decree, Xuanqi King Yang Xuan will meet you!" ”

……

"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuanqi King Yang will come to see you!"

A loud voice shouted, and after a while, Yang Jun entered the imperial study under the guidance of a eunuch, and Yang Jun took a step forward and forcibly suppressed his heart

In the nervousness and panic, he bowed deeply and said: "The son of the emperor participates in the emperor!" ”

"Xuan'er, do you know why my father summoned you to meet you?" Yang Guang asked with a calm face.

Yang Yan said with an aggrieved face: "Father, the assassination of the crown prince really has nothing to do with his sons. ”

Yang Guang looked disappointed, he took a thick stack of blue-clothed guards from the table next to him and presented his testimony and evidence, 'Wow! The ground was thrown in front of Yang Jun and said: "The human and material evidence are all there, and you still want to deny it."

Yang Xuan was stunned, fluttered and knelt on the ground, looked innocent, and said, "Father, this ...... Where does this start? Erchen did not send someone to assassinate the prince, this may be because the prince wrote and acted himself, wanting to frame Erchen. ”

Yang Jian didn't do this, so he naturally denied it, and he also believed that he sent people to spread rumors that Yang Zhao had written and acted by Yang Zhao himself had already learned about it, hoping to make his father believe that he was wronged.

But Yang Yun's attitude made Yang Guang extremely unhappy and disappointed, this was already an obvious thing, and his son actually had to deny it, so he said coldly: "The assassination of the prince failed, Zhou Cheng, the captain of the city guard who was arrested by the blue guards and the guards of the East Palace, has already confessed, saying that you secretly instructed him to do it, how do you explain?" ”

"Father, the sons don't know, the sons really don't know about it!"

Yang Jian was also anxious, he knelt down and kowtowed and cried: "This Zhou Cheng, the sons don't know him at all, father, this is definitely someone who has communicated with Zhou Cheng, and wants to frame the sons and daughters, father, sons and daughters really don't have it!" ”

Yang Yong was really wronged this time, and the grievances in his heart made him cry like rain, but as Wang Junlin and Bai Lingyun have analyzed, Yang Yong has the greatest motive for the assassination of the prince, and he has a criminal record, and now there is evidence pointing to him, which makes Yang Guang believe what he said.

Yang Guang sneered slightly, and shouted: "It seems that you don't admit it anymore." ”

At this moment, the guard reported at the door: "Your Majesty, the queen asks to see!" ”

"Announce her in!" Yang Guang immediately ordered.

Empress Xiao hurriedly entered the door, and after saluting Yang Guang, she immediately persuaded beside her: "Your Majesty, the concubine believes that this assassination of Zhao'er has nothing to do with Xuan'er. ”
