Volume 2 The Divine Capital is as Deep as the Sea Chapter 157 The Purpose of Old Eunuch Du

(Thank you very much for the generous support of the 5,000 coins and 11 monthly passes of 'Weird Coffee II', and there will definitely be a third update today.) )

In the imperial study, Yang Jian took the recital handed over by Wang Tong, glanced at it roughly, and immediately showed a smile on his face, and then, his smile became stronger and stronger, and suddenly, the laughter burst out like a flood breaking the embankment, shaking the window paper buzzing.

"It's broken, it's wrong to guess the holy will!" Wang Tong, who was standing with his hands below, trembled with fright, and his face suddenly turned pale.

With the prince's intervention and hints, Wang Tong struggled all night, but in the end he still didn't tell the truth To tell the truth, according to the prince's meaning, it was the spies under the command of Mai Tiezhu who accidentally discovered the conspiracy of the thieves on the way to Beijing. I don't dare to say that it is meritorious, but I will not say that it has been done by the iron rod.

Obviously, for some reason, such a result made the emperor extremely angry. This is by no means a good sign, although His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui intends to promote their Hedong and Shandong Shi clans to fight against the Zhongxing family gate lords and Guanlong nobles, but to say that the trust in them is really not comparable to the nine elders of Kaisui who helped him win the world. He suddenly remembered that the old eunuch Du, the commander of the Hou Guan, who made him feel cold every time he looked at him, how could he hide the Hou Guan, the first time he lied and deceived him, can His Majesty tolerate it?

On a hot day, Wang Tong suddenly felt chills all over his body, like falling into an ice cellar.

"Could it be that the emperor is dissatisfied with the crown prince? Then why did he abolish the former prince and make Yang Guang the crown prince. Wang Tong lowered his head and thought depressedly in his heart.

In the past year, especially since Queen Dugu became seriously ill, His Majesty's mind has become more and more difficult to guess, which is equivalent to invisibly increasing his pressure.

"Hahahaha...... What a far-sighted King of Kyungzhao Yin. Yang Jian folded it in his palm and threw it to Wang Tong.

The loud noise alarmed many people, and the samurai standing outside the door even held the hilt of their swords, and as soon as His Majesty spoke, they immediately rushed out to take down the blind King Jingzhao Yin.

"Your Majesty is angry, and the minister is guilty." Wang Tong knelt down with a puff, his face was pale and he was in a cold sweat, he finally understood what he was wrong. His Majesty was angry, not because of the matter itself, but because he actually listened to the words of the prince and deceived His Majesty. This is what any emperor is most disgusted by. Lao Tzu is still alive, he is still the emperor, and those who are courtiers have already begun to curry favor with the future emperor, and this kind of thing is difficult for the emperor to tolerate even if the father-son relationship between the prince and the emperor is tolerated.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is careful that he is angry!" The old eunuch Du walked in from outside, first glared at Wang Tong angrily, then lowered his voice to advise, and at the same time took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian looked at the contents of the scroll, his face became even more ugly, and he sighed secretly in his heart: "Couldn't I decide the succession of the throne, and still need the prince to think of ways to win over the ministers, or is the prince worried about his gentle brother." ”

"The queen is seriously ill, and the family of the gate valve controls the government, how worried I am, and my son is not worrying." Yang Jian sighed secretly in his heart, and suddenly felt the sadness of being a royal family.

"Angry, what do I have to be angry about." Yang Jian's expression had regained his composure at this time, and he said loudly: "Spread my will, the general of Zuotunwei, Mai Tiecane, put down the rebellion in Shudi, and the killing is too heavy, which will damage the overall situation of our Heavenly Dynasty's cultural governance, and the merits and demerits will be offended." Jingzhao Yin Wang Tong had no way to govern Jingzhao Mansion, resulting in the death of the prisoner in the prison, and the thief sneaked into the capital without knowing it, transferred away from his position as Jingzhao Yin, and went to Yongzhou to serve as the assassin on the same day, and Chen Sansi, the original Yongzhou assassin history, served as Jingzhao Yin and took office on the next day. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness." Wang Tong's face became more and more pale, three points whiter than the zombie face of the old eunuch Du next to him. His Majesty the Emperor is really angry this time, and he has indeed committed the taboo of the Son of Heaven.

The ministers restrain each other, and even fight among themselves, which is more convenient for the monarch to control, as the emperor is happy to see, but if these people are related to the throne, even if it is because of his own son, Yang Jian can't bear it.

"Your Majesty, Mai Tie Cane and Wang Tong are just the ones who have been used in this matter, and the culprits have not yet been punished." Old Eunuch Du said in a low voice while picking up the fold that Yang Jian had thrown on the ground when he was angry just now.

"Who are you speaking for? Who gave you what benefits? Yang Jian's originally gloomy eyes quickly lit up, and there was a faint firelight beating. But soon, the inexplicable light of the fire quickly dimmed again. Du Lao Eunuch is an orphan, is a dead soldier cultivated by their family since childhood, and later because of his extremely high talent, he reached the breaking period at a young age, and was selected to be his personal guard, and later in the period of his own founding and emperor, the former dynasty Yu sent a master to assassinate himself, it was Du Lao who blocked a knife for himself, hurt the human thing, and became a eunuch, controlling the internal and external marquis for himself.

Therefore, Du's husband has no relatives in this world. If you ask which courtier around him is the most incorruptible, Yang Jian knows that Old Eunuch Du can definitely be ranked first deservedly. For many years, even the property he gave him was used to help others, and of course this person would not accept bribes from foreign ministers.

Old Eunuch Du neatly arranged the things on the bookcase in front of Yang Jian's eyes one by one, and then said: "I only care about Your Majesty's mood, as for the others, including the crown prince...... None of them are my masters, and I can't serve them! ”

Among all the eunuchs in the harem, directly replying with "I" is the power that Yang Jian gave to the old eunuch Du. The old eunuch spoke smoothly, and it didn't make people feel rude at all. When he had finished defending his family, he stood quietly at the bottom of the bookcase, just as he had done when he was younger.

Yang Jian was moved when he heard this, and said, "Elder Du, in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

Old Eunuch Du thought for a while and replied with a smile: "If someone does something that is not in line with Your Majesty's mind, Your Majesty will take him away from the official title and expel him." And don't be angry with your body, I'm an eunuch, I don't understand anything about the outer court! ”

Yang Jian shook his head, sighed, and replied lazily: "Take the official title...... It's easy to say, I can do it forcibly, but what about after I do it? Will it cause dissatisfaction among many people, will it force him to have the intention of rebellion, will it make his protégé have the intention of rebellion, and the person who takes his position may not be better than him. ”

"Since Your Majesty doesn't deal with anyone except Mai Tie Staff and Wang Tong, why should you be so angry?" Old Eunuch Du's eyes flashed, and he asked in a low voice.

"yes, why are I so angry?" Don't you know what kind of person your son is, don't you know what kind of background the Manchu Dynasty civil and military is. Don't you know that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are the same as when they were ministers in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, as long as they are from a family, they are all from the family first, and then from the imperial court?

Yang Jian felt very discouraged, he was eloquent, had a gap in his heart, and had too many things to do, but because of the existence of these gate valve families, there were too many things that could not be done, such as the implementation of the imperial examination, such as the uniform field system, such as the use of the son of a poor family. Counting up, since the founding of the country, there are only two people who have really used the cold door, which happens to be Mai Tiezhu and Wang Junlin. And one of these two people was used as a knife by Yang Su to kill the other last night.

"I allow you to come up with ideas for me, whether this happens in the Outer Court or the Inner Court!" Yang Jian sighed heavily, for some reason, as Queen Dugu became seriously ill, he felt that his body was not as good as before. And the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are not as good as a eunuch who really thinks about the court society. Can't I get rid of these gate valve moths in my lifetime, and I have to leave it to my son to do?

According to the old slave's opinion, this matter should be divided into two parts. Originally, the struggle between Yang Su and Qin Anhou was facilitated by His Majesty's efforts, and everything developed in the direction expected by His Majesty, but who would have thought that a general from the third rank would listen to Yang Su's words and commit the crime of defrauding the king. If this matter is like this, Yang Su's plan failed, and His Majesty just borrowed Qin Anhou's hand to greatly weaken Yang Su's minions in the army on the grounds of this matter, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince carried this matter down for him in order to win Yang Su, which made His Majesty difficult to attack Yang Su, so His Majesty was so angry. Old Eunuch Du glanced at the two eunuchs at the door with warnings, then turned his head and said in a low voice.

"You're right, this was originally an opportunity created for me by that kid from Wang Junlin after the incident of the sledgehammer iron shop and the Dayun Restaurant, and it was a good thing for me that Ah Yi (Yang Guang's small character) was troubled and ruined." Yang Jian nodded and agreed with Old Eunuch Du's analysis.

"In this way, His Majesty, considering the prestige of the crown prince, has no way to punish Yang Su for this matter. But His Majesty can punish Yang Su by other things, and let Yang Su and the crown prince understand that the real reason is the incident last night, thinking that one can convince them, the second is to warn them, and the third is to give Qin Anhou an explanation. Old Eunuch Du continued.

"You're right, it's just to punish Yang Su for other things, it's not easy to find such a thing, this old thief now has a very high prestige in the army, close to the high Ying back then, and has outstanding military achievements, and there are too many protégés. If you can't convince the whole army, I can't even bring it up. Yang Jian gritted his teeth and said.

"Your Majesty! Yang Su died two grandsons in succession, all blamed on Wang Junlin's head, last night's plan failed, with his arrogant and domineering character, since he has torn his face with Wang Junlin, he will definitely make a move on Wang Junlin, the old slave will secretly let the Hou Guan star, as long as Yang Su's people make a move, they will start to gather enough human and physical evidence, and although His Majesty can't use this to let him resign, but it can also greatly weaken his power and the prestige of the court. Old Eunuch Du finally said the ultimate goal.
