Chapter 36: A New Conspiracy
Late at night, the Prince's East Palace, Yang Guang and his henchmen were talking secretly in the study.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, according to Yun Dingxing, Yang Yong's remnants are being connected everywhere, in addition to Yang Yong's sons and His Royal Highness the King of Han, there are also Gao Xi, Su Wei, He Ruobi, Li Delin and other old ministers of the emperor, and the Taiyuan Wang family, Qingyang Lu family, and Rongyang Zheng family are all in some small actions, if one is not handled well, I am afraid that the situation will not be good for the prince." It was Yuwen Shu who spoke. Because Yang Su's power position is too high, it has aroused Yang Jian's suspicion and dissatisfaction, although it has not yet reached the point of losing his official position and resigning, it is also an indisputable fact that the emperor's favor for Yang Su is declining. And Yang Guang was also afraid that Yang Su would be arrogant and difficult to control, so he still respected Yang Su on the surface, but in fact he had begun to deliberately distance himself. Therefore, now under Yang Guang, the highest official is Yu Wenshu.
'Humph! These wolf cubs are still not giving up, but it's a pity that you don't want to turn the tables. This palace will not give you this chance. Yang Guang thought to himself.
"Several nephews of this palace saw their father suffering, and they were sad and resentful of this king, which is also the duty of the son of man, and then a few children's tricks, this king does not want to worry too much about them, the king of Han is the brother of this palace, the beloved son of his father, you also know, his father is old, and his health is not as good as before, this palace cannot bear to let him suffer the pain of separation of flesh and blood in his old age; And those old ministers who founded the emperor, you also know that my father is a person who loves the old, if there were no people back then, I would not have been able to open the country in the Great Sui; And the family gate valves are colluded with each other, so the disposal of these people must be cautious, and the whole body hurts when they move! Yang Guang sighed lightly.
"What Your Highness is thinking about." Everyone explained.
"So the Lone King is thinking about which incision to deal with this matter?" Yang Guang asked.
"Your Royal Highness, Weichen thinks that we should open a gap from that group of old ministers who opened the emperor, although many of them have closed their doors and do not ask about political affairs, but their prestige in the court is still there, and their protégés are all over the world, if they echo each other with those remnants in the court, the consequences will be unimaginable! Therefore, it is just right to use them to establish authority, as long as these people fall, no one in the court can compete with His Highness. "It was Pei Ju who spoke, he was born in the Pei family in Hedong, and he had an inextricable relationship with the above-mentioned family gate valve, so he didn't want Yang Guang to point the finger at the family gate valve.
"Your Royal Highness must not, if the spearhead is pointed at those old ministers who opened the emperor, then the court will be panicked, and it will be unfavorable for His Highness to buy people's hearts, and then they will be more sympathetic to the former prince, because although the former prince is immoral, but after all, he is generous and never embarrassed by others, and although the emperor is dissatisfied with them, he still cares about the old feelings, and he is still a high-ranking official to them, and they are also more at home to keep themselves, do not ask about the world, and ignore the government, so Weichen thinks that they should not be too pressed." It was Zhang Heng who spoke, an official from the common class. Therefore, it is more inclined to deal with the Saga gate valve.
"No, the family valve is the foundation of the world, and every household is connected to each other, mostly in-laws, if you move a shot, it is easy to promote the whole body, and then the world family will attack His Royal Highness in groups, not to mention that he will ascend the throne as the emperor, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed, so he must not do it easily."
"If you move the emperor's ministers, especially Gao Xi, although his surname is Gao, he is the adopted grandson of His Royal Highness's grandfather Duguxin, and the nephew of His Royal Highness's mother, if he is moved, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to His Highness's bribery, and it will also cause the emperor to be dissatisfied。。。。。。" Pei Ju and Zhang Heng fought for each other. As the master, Yang Guang still likes this situation very much, if his subordinates are an iron plate, then he will have a headache, but now is not the time to fight in the nest, Yang Guang waved his hand to stop their argument.
He asked a few other people, "Do you have any other good ideas to deliberately say together?" ”
"Your Highness, Weichen thinks what Lord Zhang said is reasonable, and what Lord Pei is worried about is also right." It was Shi Jiwei, the former head of the Prince's Mansion, who spoke.
"Humph! Sycophants! Pei Ju secretly sarcastically said in his heart.
"Master Ji, you are really exquisite! Your Highness is not a deposed prince, you must not bewitch the prince like before, so that His Highness will also be imprisoned. Zhang Heng was straight, glared at Ji Wei and said.
"Your Highness, Weichen thought that he could release some rumors first and see the reactions of all parties, and the Taiyuan Wang clan and the Qingyang Lu clan should not be worried. The most worrying is the Rongyang Zheng family. Rongyang Zheng was founded for hundreds of years, and originated in the Central Plains, radiating to the Quartet, whether it is Kanto or Longxi, there are many marriages with it, plus Zheng Yi helped the emperor to seek the country, although the emperor did not give heavy power after ascending the throne, but he was still named a high lord, so although Rongyang Zheng did not produce many high-ranking officials, but the influence was the greatest. ”
"Oh! Ji Wei, what do you mean? ”
"Weichen thinks of a person, if he gets the help of this person, first, he can give the prince more help, second, he can also reduce the emperor's wariness of the prince, and third, this person is just the link to deal with the three gates."
"Are you talking about Tang Guogong Li Yuan?" Zhang Heng said that when he talked about Li Yuan, everyone immediately thought of his grievances with the Taiyuan Wang family and the Qingyang Lu family, as well as the in-law relationship with the Rongyang Zheng family, as well as the relationship with the emperor, I have to say that Li Yuan is the most suitable person.
"Wonderful! If he comes forward to investigate and deal with it, the Taiyuan Wang family will not think that we are playing ghosts, and the Qingyang Lu family already has a grudge against the Rongyang Zheng family, and when we add a few fires to the side, the Qingyang Lu family will think that Li Yuan is angry for the Rongyang Zheng family, and the two clans will pinch each other, and they will also be more resentful of Li Yuan, and the Longxi Li family behind Li Yuan and the Longxi Dou family behind his wife will not care, and will also participate in it at that time. And this king sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, let them fight with the mussels, and the lonely fisherman benefited. At that time, even if my father is aware of it, it is not easy to say anything about me. ”
Yang Guang was overjoyed, and shook Ji Wei's hand and said:
"Lord Ji, back then, at the emperor's brother's place, everyone said that you were a traitorous courtier, and today the palace knows that you are a wise man and capable minister!"
"This is also because His Royal Highness has a discerning eye, and now Weichen has to meet the Holy Lord to assist, which is the luck of Weichen and the luck of the world!" Ji Wei said to Yang Guang with sincerity.
