Outside the Guanfeng Palace, on the temporary execution ground, Gao Gong, He Ruobi, and Yu Wenbi were all tied, and they were about to be executed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The three of them had mixed feelings, and none of them pleaded for mercy, but they didn't scold them because they were afraid that they would anger Emperor Yang of Sui again and be beheaded all over the house.

They are all over the age of sixties, more than sixty years old, even if they are not killed, they can live to the age of seventy is the end, life is rare for seventy years, so, they are not afraid of things, they just feel that dying like this, it is too aggrieved, and they have made great contributions to the Great Sui and made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country, but they were not allowed to die well when they were in the second.

"Lao Gao, do you have anything to say?"

"No, what else can you say about such a majesty, that's it, it's a relief." Gao Gong sighed, the old tears turned and endured not to flow down, and his heart was completely cold.

After Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, Yuwen Bi first served as the secretary of the criminal department, and now he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"My three old ministers, although it is not a pity to die, but, from this point of view alone, the Great Sui is in danger!"

He Ruobi snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter what kind of Da Sui it is, before the temporary, I figured it out, unloading the mill and killing the donkey, the rabbit and the dog cooking, the prosperous world, we are useless for these meritorious veterans, we have been in captivity for many years, and now we don't have to scruple about killing a hundred!" ”

Gao Gong reminded: "Okay, beware of these words reaching the ears of Yu Shi, telling Your Majesty and causing trouble to the family." ”

He Ruobi said indignantly: "My rabbit cubs usually cause trouble in the capital, and everyone who is successful, after a few decades, how can there be a He family?" Dying early and dying late, it's not much worse, living for decades is also ruining Lao Tzu's prestige! ”

The three of them were still talking here, some angry, some emotional, some desperate, all waiting for the Holy Decree to arrive, and they would be executed.

Who knew that half an hour later, the chief eunuch came to read out the holy edict, reading that the three of them had made meritorious contributions to the Great Sui, discussed the government in vain, and slandered the saint for the death penalty can be avoided, but the dismissal of the official for the people, cut off the money, confiscate the property, never hire, after returning to Beijing, the family moved, not allowed to live in two capitals, each has a place to migrate.

Gao Gong and the others were naturally a little surprised when they learned that they didn't have to die, and they had a good impression of Emperor Yang of Sui in their hearts, feeling that this emperor was not completely ruthless, and finally remembered the past merits of the three of them, spared one death, and saved face.

At this time, some ministers and clan bureaucrats who were close to the three people rushed over one after another to visit the three people, and many of them wept.

When He Ruobi and the others learned that it was because of Luo Cheng's intercession that the three of them were saved from death, they were all stunned.

It seems that the three of them don't have a deep friendship with Luo Cheng, or even lukewarm, just a kind of greeting and politeness on the surface, without any intersection.

"It's strange that he would take the risk of being punished to intercede for the three of us!" Yu Wenbi was a little incomprehensible.

He Ruobi also nodded and said: "This kid, usually I see him full of limelight, young and vigorous, I don't have a good feeling, I didn't expect him to do this?" ”

Gao Gong sighed: "Perhaps, we all blamed him before, he is not very different from the people of that force, perhaps, he is really the pillar of the country." ”

………

Luo Zhaoyun returned to the tent, and today he asked for the three old ministers, some risks, if he didn't get it right, he would have to eat melons and fish, and he would receive punishment and disgust, but he still decided to avoid this drama of unjust killing ministers in history. Another reason is that he wants to try to stabilize the Great Sui and change the direction of history.

The butterfly effect is often a key thing, and if it deviates from the direction, it may cause a lot of waves and change fate.

Half an hour later, someone came to the outside of the camp, asked to see Luo Zhaoyun, and came to visit and reminisce.

Luo Zhaoyun came out and found that it was Li Yuan, the current official position is the young eunuch in the palace, but from the third grade, the official position is slightly lower than him, of course, Li Yuan has a huge Li valve background behind him, and he is the emperor's cousin, and there is also the support of the Dou family, so Li Yuan's identity is special, even if he is not valued by Emperor Yang of Sui now, and his official position is not prominent enough, but the hereditary title of the Duke of Tang State, the ancestors have been noble for generations, so the second-grade officials such as the court's servants and Shangshu are also very polite when they see Li Yuan.

"Luo Cheng has seen Guogong!"

"General Luo, why are you so polite! Three years ago, the old man said that we are friends who have forgotten the year, not according to seniority, nor according to the size of the official position, just pay each other. ”

Luo Zhaoyun said modestly: "Then how to make it, the DPRK and China have their own seniority." Tang Guogong is the same age as his father, and I am close to Jiancheng, so I should call Guogong an uncle. ”

Li Yuan saw that he had three years of experience, more condensed, mature and steady, but there was no arrogance, it was very rare, and sighed: "Then Li is a person, and he calls Zhaoyun a virtuous nephew." ”

Luo Zhaoyun felt Li Yuan's heat and politeness, although there was fiction and reality, but the other party wanted to make friends with him, which was very sincere, after all, at this moment, Luo Zhaoyun was reused, and he was Yang Guang's confidant and cronies, he was young, and as a general, his future was limitless.

And Li Yuan has always been depressed, although he has been a thorn for a few years, but for some reason, once he sat firmly, he was transferred back to Beijing by Yang Guang, and he was idle, and he couldn't understand the holy will, so he wanted to make more friends with Luo Zhaoyun to rub off on the heat and luck.

Li Yuan showed a sophisticated smile and said, "Nephew Zhaoyun Xian, this time your bold plea for Gao Servant, Yuwen Shangshu and others has spread in various military camps; Whether it is the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, or the nobles of the family, and the soldiers of the military, they all praise you in private for helping you. Now that your reputation is getting louder and louder, I don't know that the military supports and respects you, and many ministers in the DPRK and China, different camps, and families now have your attitude, from waiting and seeing, to attaching importance to you, and even more to win you over. Therefore, when you return to the capital, I am afraid that you will be even more busy with socializing. ”

Luo Zhaoyun replied: "This is something I didn't expect, I didn't think about it so much at the beginning." ”

Li Yuan combined his half-hundred-year-old life experience, as well as the skills of being an official in the imperial court, and said to him patiently: "This is the precious thing, I am ashamed to say that I am not enough in front of Your Majesty, my position is thin, even if I plead, it is useless, those Su Wei, Niu Hong, Pei Shiji and others who have a good relationship with Gao Gong and Yu Wenbi have also spoken, but they have not recovered, you and those three people, it can be said that they don't have much friendship, but they can stand up at a critical time and say some fair words, which makes people surprised, it is estimated that even the saint did not expect it, It had this effect. ”

"However, you have to be cautious in the future, this time, it can be said that Your Majesty has given you great face and favors, making you popular in the court all of a sudden, and no one dares to underestimate you anymore. However, you are also more dangerous, once someone tells right and wrong, often saying something unfavorable to you, it is easy to arouse His Majesty's suspicion, so the next time you ask for advice, you may not be able to go so smoothly.
