Xiao Yu has always been a noble family since he was a child, and he has been with the children of the family, and he has never seen Wang Shichong such a scoundrel, giving Wang Shichong such a scoundrel, choked and speechless, Wang Shichong looked at his appearance and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Xiao, you are actually not loyal to Da Sui, at least you haven't reported me until now, in addition to my relationship with your sister, there are also plans for yourself, in fact, you also know what kind of person your brother-in-law is, and I am afraid that he will kill you one day, and no one will be able to save you at that time." Right. ”

Xiao Yu sighed: "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, but I Xiao Yu will do my part, the interests of our Xiao family are of course the first, on this basis, let's talk about the matter of loyalty to the monarch and serving the country, this is also the family motto of my Xiao family for generations, Wang Shichong, you can help our Xiao family, so far, I can bear what you do, but if your conspiracy involves our Xiao family, then don't blame me for fighting back in other ways." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "I said, I like to deal with smart people, whether it is a friend or an enemy, it has its fun. By the way, Brother Xiao, there is one more thing you must mention to Yang Guang, and that is about Yang Xuangan. ”

Xiao Yu said softly: "Yang Xuangan? Do you have any friendships with him? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "I don't have any friendship, I can even say that the relationship is not very good, I used to marry a concubine, Yang Xuangan and Li Mi came to mess around when they got married, and they scared the woman to death, if it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to take refuge in Yang Su at that time, I wouldn't have just left it at that, and now Yang Su has fallen." Yang Xuangan's power is far less than when his father was alive. I'm just keeping a good face with him. It's not a deep friendship. ”

Xiao Yu smiled: "Since you have nothing to do with Yang Xuangan, what do you want to do with him?" ”

Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "Yang Guang received Duan Wenzhen's recital today, it was Yang Xuangan's request to go on the expedition and want to be the vanguard of the Goguryeo army, Brother Xiao, you must pay attention, you must not let Yang Xuangan have this opportunity." ”

Xiao Yu's face changed: "Why?" ”

The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth hooked, and he analyzed: "This Yang Xuangan was recommended by Duan Wenzhen. And Duan Wenzhen is Yuwenshu's number one cronie, that is to say, Yang Xuangan may have embarked on a path with Yuwenshu through some kind of relationship, your Xiao family is now a mortal enemy with Yuwenshu, are you willing to see Yang Xuangan recommended by him rewarded for his meritorious service? ”

There was a look of vigilance in Xiao Yu's eyes: "Just because of this? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Of course it's more than that, you listen to me continue, the reason why I said that your Xiao family can take today's opportunity to turn over in one fell swoop, one thing is that your previous analysis can show that you are loyal and outspoken, and you have military talent, but more important is one point." It's in this matter of Yang Xuangan. ”

Xiao Yu suddenly became interested and asked: "Yang Xuangan is known as an invincible general in the world. He wants to go on an expedition, as a pioneer, it is a matter of course, I can't think of any reason to stop it, let alone why the Supreme would look at us differently because of my stop. ”

Wang Shichong nodded, his eyes flashed: "Because although Yang Xuangan is brave and good at fighting, he is Yang Su's son, and this alone is a mortal enemy with Yang Guang, which is also the fundamental reason why Yang Guang has not dared to give him military power for so many years, and only let him be a civilian official!" ”

Xiao Yu also knew some things about Yang Guang's move to Yang Su back then, and sighed: "It turned out to be this reason, but I heard that Yang Su once strictly concealed the real reason why he was forced to death from Yang Xuangan, with Yang Xuangan's irritable and impulsive temperament, if he knew that Yang Su was forced to die, could he endure it for so many years?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Brother Xiao is only afraid of underestimating Yang Xuangan, thinking that he is just a brave man with brute strength, but in fact, in my opinion, Yang Xuangan is both civil and military, and the city government has gradually become deeper with age, and he is by no means a brave and unscrupulous person, on the surface, in recent years, he has begun to alienate the Guan Long family, and even gradually kept his distance from his brother-in-law Li Mi, but this time he was able to speak for himself through Yuwenshu quietly, This shows that he would rather make friends with the Yuwen family, which is despised by the Guan Long family, but also find a channel for himself to be in charge of the army, Brother Xiao, do you think he is trying to be prosperous and rich? ”

Xiao Yu's brows furrowed: "You mean, Yang Xuangan is also a person with you all the way, and he wants to rebel?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "I don't have much friendship with Yang Xuangan, and I don't know what he is thinking or what he wants to do, but in my opinion, Yang Xuangan, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is already a senior official, and in a few years, it will not be a problem for the official to be the chief of the army, there is no need to obtain anything through military merits, he took the initiative to ask for a battle, obviously not out of loyalty, the Yang family has a title, and it is obviously not like the ordinary Guan Long disciples to get a knighthood in order to seek merit, I think Yang Guang is also very clear about this, so this matter, It must be his temptation of your Xiao family. ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes: "Temptation? ”

Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "Yes, you have to oppose Yang Xuangan to take charge of the army and be a pioneer, but you must definitely say a reason, Yang Guang does not trust Yang Xuangan in his bones, and he doesn't want him to be in charge of the army, but there is no very good reason to refuse Yuwenshu, your Xiao family has a grudge against Yuwenshu, if you refuse, and you can't come up with a good excuse, Yang Guang will think that you Xiao Yu is abolishing official affairs for personal grudges, and putting the interests of your Xiao family above Dasui, I am afraid that I will not use your Xiao family in the future." ”

Xiao Yu's brows suddenly stretched: "Oh, I've been taught." So what reason should I find? You can't say that the Supreme forced Yang Su to death, you have to be careful that Yang Xuangan has a counterattack after the soldier. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Of course, this can't be said explicitly, although Yang Guang is most afraid of this, but you didn't participate in forcing Yang Su to death back then, so if you rashly say that Yang Xuangan and Yang Guang have a grudge against his father, he will suspect where you found out your secret, absolutely not." You can only say that Yang Xuangan has been a general for generations, and Yang Su's protégés and former officials are all over the army, and Yang Su was the leader of the Guanlong family at the beginning of Yang Guang's ascension to the throne, and led the troops to quickly quell Yang Liang's rebellion, which shows the huge influence of the Yang family in the military world. ”

"As an emperor, you can't let this influence continue, Yang Su died at the right time, and Yang Xuangan is fledgling, if he is given an important position in the war, it may help him regain his father's influence, and then the power of the Yang family will increase again, and Yang Xuangan is still young, in his thirties, as the commander of the first army, I am afraid that his qualifications will not be able to convince the public, and the vanguard of the expedition to Goguryeo will face the main force of the enemy country, in case of a mistake, it will shake the spirit of the three armies, or hope that Yang Guang can choose another good general to fight."
