"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! "In the Taiji Palace, all the civil and military officials bowed down to the emperor.

Today is the last day of the first year of the Great Cause, after today, the court will start a long holiday, until the fifteenth day of the first month before returning to the court, except for the emperor to take the initiative to meet, the ministers can not get up early every day to come to the court.

"Everyone, please be exempt."

"Emperor Xie!" After the hundred officials got up, they all returned to their positions, and after a symphony of weapons, the court fell silent.

"If you have something to do, you can play early, and you have nothing to retreat!" A chamberlain's voice rang out sharply.

The faces of the hundred officials were full of joy, a relaxed look, looking left and right, but no one spoke.

This is the first New Year after the new emperor ascended the throne, and coincided with the victory over the Turks, although the holiday, the palace will definitely have a lot of celebrations during the New Year, some important ministers often need to be accompanied, they still rarely have much time to reunite with their families, so all the political affairs have been dealt with yesterday, come over today, just as a form, such a day, everyone is eager to end the early dynasty and go home, while there is not yet a lot of time to reunite with the family.

Yang Yong waited for a while, saw that no one came out, and was about to let the internal minister announce his retirement from the court, when an official stood up from it: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do." ”

Yang Yong fixed his eyes and saw that it was Xue Daoheng of Zongzheng Temple, and he wondered in his heart, not knowing what Xue Daoheng would have to say at this moment, he still nodded: "Quasi-play." ”

Xue Daoheng is famous, and his official reputation is very prominent, although Yang Yong took him down from the criminal department, he did not degrade him. Instead, he was transferred to Zongzheng Temple, Zongzheng Temple is the highest official of Zongzheng Temple, and his grade is equivalent to that of the Criminal Department, but Zongzheng Temple is the least powerful department in the six departments and eleven temples of the three provinces of the Great Sui. Usually only responsible for the genealogy of the royal family and other affairs, the entire arrangement plus the officials are only nine people, this transfer, everyone knows that Xue Daoheng is not liked by the new emperor.

"Your Majesty. The emperor died suddenly, and the ministers were grief-stricken, but fortunately the emperor was gifted and intelligent, benevolent and loved the people. Although there are Turks, Goguryeo invaded the north, but also repelled by my Great Sui loyal and brave soldiers, such as today has been decided, hundreds of officials and subjects return to their hearts, now the New Year is approaching, the people of the capital have returned home to reunite, the heirs of the emperor. The king of Qin has passed away, the king of Shu and the king of Han are far away, only the king of Jin remains in the capital, why not the emperor will release the king of Jin and allow him to be free, then not only the king of Jin can be reunited as a family, but the emperor can also get together with his brothers, so that the emperor can also be relieved and smile under the nine springs. Lin Lei"

As soon as this remark came out. The hall was silent, since the King of Jin was under house arrest, no one had ever dared to intercede for him in front of the emperor, but he didn't expect this Xue Daoheng to retire from the criminal department, and he was so ignorant of the sky. Some people who are usually good friends with Xue Daoheng are worried about him. Sneaking into the emperor's face.

To the surprise of the hundred officials, the emperor's face was as usual. It didn't seem to be angry, just frowned, and said flatly: "Xue Aiqing, the law of the country violated by the King of Jin is not tolerated, I remember his brotherly love, and only put him under house arrest, there is no shortage of three meals a day, food and clothing are worry-free, it is already extrajudicial and emotional, how can I make mistakes again and again, and retreat." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for Xue Daoheng, hoping that Xue Daoheng would dismiss the proposal, but Xue Daoheng obviously lived up to everyone's expectations, but instead knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, the law is nothing more than human affection, the first emperor only had five children, all born of a mother, how could the royal family ever have this scene in ancient times, although the King of Jin has made mistakes, the emperor thinks of his fellow brothers, if he can open up to the King of Jin, the subjects of the world will definitely bite and praise the emperor's benevolence for his brothers, so that they will follow suit, and everything will be prosperous, If all the people in the world can have a harmonious family, why worry that my Great Sui is not rich and prosperous. ”

"That's enough, you're saying that if I don't pardon King Jin, the people of the world will have complaints against me, right?" Yang Yong slapped his palm on the dragon chair, and the entire court was shocked.

Although Yang Yong is not proficient in history, Yang Yong at least knows that when the Han people are now leading the world in terms of technology and force, if they don't take this opportunity to expand, they will lay a rich legacy for future generations.

At the moment, although he is not afraid that Yang Guang will stir up any more storms, it is impossible to just let Yang Guang go out, Yang Yong does not want to let his energy be spent on internal friction, and miss the opportunity in vain, whether it is for his own sake or for Yang Guang's sake, he can't let Yang Guang get out of control, after ten or eight years, after grinding Yang Guang's temperament, it is possible to find a fief for Yang Guang outside the Central Plains, so that not only his reputation will not be damaged, but it will also be the best ending for Yang Guang.

It's just that Xue Daoheng's nerd temper attacked, but he didn't care if the emperor was angry, he Zong Zhengqing did it meaninglessly anyway, and said with a stalk on his neck: "Back to the emperor, the minister didn't have this intention, but when the emperor was strict with economy, he ate only one meat every day, so that the world followed suit, my Great Sui can have today's prosperity, all thanks to the emperor's example of the work, and now if the emperor can set an example for the people of the world, the work of teaching the Chinese people will naturally come naturally." ”

Baiguan listened secretly, this Xue Daoheng really dared to say, in fact, although Xue Daoheng's poetry is good, he is extremely lacking in how to get along with people, after Yang Guang ascended the throne in history, Xue Daoheng returned to Beijing from the place. At that time, Yang Guang planned to appoint Xue Daoheng as a secretary and supervisor, but Xue Daoheng did not know the current affairs and wrote an "Ode to Emperor Gaozuwen".

Yang Guangdang is very ambitious, want to make a great cause beyond his father, Xue Daoheng's recital is tantamount to pouring a basin of cold water on Yang Guang's head, Yang Guang was extremely angry after reading it, and said to Su Wei: "Daoheng is the first dynasty of beauty, and the righteousness of this "Fish Algae" is also. ”

"Fish Algae" is one of the "Book of Songs", according to the "Preface to Poems", this poem ridicules King You of Zhou by praising King Wu of Zhou. Since then, Xue Daoheng has buried the disaster of killing himself, and the position of secretary Lang has disappeared.

Yang Guang once said: "Others think that I inherited the first emperor and obtained the throne, but in fact, the emperor should also belong to me." Xue Daoheng is far superior to Yang Guang in terms of poetry, and he is undisguised, every time Yang Guang summons a group of ministers to chant poems, he wins with Xue Daoheng's poetry, and he has no concession to the emperor, and finally Xue Daoheng was ordered to be beheaded by Yang Guang in the third year of the great cause, it is said that after Xue Daoheng was beheaded, Yang Guangyou said hatefully: "See if you can make an empty beam and fall into the swallow mud!" ”

It's just that at this time, Yang Guang failed to compete for the throne, but only Xue Daoheng pleaded with the emperor for him, I really don't know if Xue Daoheng would be so willing to take the risk to intercede for Yang Guang if he knew that he should have died under Yang Guang's hands?

Yang Yong's face sank like water, although he had only ascended the throne in April, Yang Yong had become accustomed to officials obeying his will, Xue Daoheng was so ignorant of advancing and retreating, which made Yang Yong really a little annoyed, but fortunately, Yang Yong had the memory of the future after all, if it was not necessary, he would not kill people casually, he glanced at the hundred officials coldly, and asked: "What about you, do you think so too?" ”

"Your Majesty, Xue Daoheng is talking nonsense, he is extremely erect, it is just one-sided, the national law is ruthless, if the King of Jin still has a conscience, he should be grateful to the emperor." Su Wei first stood up and paused, unlike Xue Daoheng's nerdy temper, no one in the hundred officials interceded for King Jin, not necessarily afraid of the unpredictable authority, but many people also thought that King Jin was just under house arrest was the best ending, and the battle for the throne has never had family affection, if Yang Guang was pardoned, there would be many ministers who desperately opposed it.

"Your Majesty, the ministers also think that Xue Daoheng is talking nonsense, and the matter of King Jin is very appropriate for the emperor to deal with."

"Your Majesty, Xue Daoheng is the same party as King Jin."

"Your Majesty, the ministers also praised Xue Daoheng for being in the same party as King Jin." The statement was mostly an attack on Xue Daoheng, and no one stood with Xue Daoheng.

Yang Yong's face softened slightly, and he pointed at Xue Daoheng and asked, "Xue Daoheng, are you guilty?" ”

"The minister is guilty." In the face of the centurion's accusation, even if Xue Daoheng's temper was stubborn, he couldn't help but turn pale. If it was really considered by the emperor to be the same party as the King of Jin, what would happen to him, the bloodshed of that night had been proven.

"That is to say, Xue Daoheng was demoted from Zongzheng Temple to Zongzheng Temple, fined for three months, the matter of King Jin has been decided, no one is allowed to regenerate the incident with this, otherwise he will be severely punished."

From a Zhengqing to a master, he didn't even go down to three levels, and in the future, Xue Daoheng didn't even have the qualifications for the early dynasty, Yang Yong was really afraid that this nerd would make trouble again, and he would come to Xue Daoheng without seeing it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xue Daoheng got up from the floor and retreated to the courtiers, but there was not much remorse on his face, obviously he didn't care whether it was Zongzheng Temple Qing or Zongzheng Temple Master Bodi's position.

"What else is there to do?"

After asking several times in a row, all the ministers did not respond, and the shrill voice of the chamberlain sounded again: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

"Congratulations to the emperor."

With the emperor going down to the palace and turning to the rear, hundreds of court officials also rushed out, although today's morning dynasty made Xue Daoheng stir up, but except for Xue Daoheng, everyone was not punished, and they did not delay too much time, everyone was in a hurry to rush home, only Xue Daoheng's back seemed to be a sense of autumn.
