The corners of Yang Guang's mouth hooked, and he said in a deep voice: "Does anyone really dare to talk about me?" Wang Aiqing, who dares to say bad things about me behind my back, do you have a specific list? ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Your Majesty, these are just some discussions on the streets and alleys, and the source cannot be found, and the rumors of this kind of thing cannot be blocked by killing people. Sometimes this kind of love is released for a while, and it will subside naturally after a few days, but if you go on a killing spree, the effect will only be worse. ”

When Wang Shichong said this, his eyes blinked: "Actually, Your Majesty, you have made a wonderful move in the past few days, and now there are many fewer people talking about Xue Daoheng's affairs, so Weichen is foolish, you don't have to make a big move." ”

Yang Guang was a little surprised, and said strangely: "Wonderful chess? What is it? He suddenly realized something, and said with a smile, "What Aiqing said, but what I ordered to conquer Goguryeo?" ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "Exactly, Your Majesty's move is really a sage, now inside and outside the Eastern Capital, all the people in the streets and alleys are talking about the expedition to Goguryeo, the achievements on the battlefield, and the matter of Xue Daoheng, and there are not many people talking about it anymore." ”

Yang Guang's brows stretched suddenly, stroked his beard proudly, and said: "Isn't this very good, Wang Aiqing, I won't talk about Xue Daoheng, as for your crime of bullying the king, you should have been punished heavily, but I thought that you were dedicated to the country and your loyalty was commendable, and I would be punished lightly, but the punishment still has to be punished, and I will punish you for three months, what do you think?" ”

Wang Shichong kowtowed to the ground: "The guilty minister Xie Majesty xià Longen." Hooray, hooray, hooray. ”

Yang Guang raised his hand and motioned for Wang Shichong to stand up: "Aiqing is flat." Tell me what you have to offer, and what's more. I have something for you to do. Even if you don't come today. I'll be looking for you on these two days, too. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Your Majesty wants the minister to do it, but go to Laizhou to supervise the construction of the warship?" ”

Yang Guang was slightly stunned: "How do you know?" This is only the content of the court proceedings the day before yesterday. ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen has always been a thorn in the eye of many important ministers, a thorn in the flesh, in order to take precautions, I also put some eyes and ears in them, so what happened two days ago, the minister only knows now." It's not very fast, either. ”

Yang Guang's face sank: "Wang Shichong, shouldn't you be in my palace, and you also put your eyes and ears on it." ”

Wang Shichong hurriedly knelt on the ground again: "Even if the minister has ten thousand guts, he doesn't dare to do this." Wei Chen only learned about this matter through the eyeliner and staff of some courtiers' homes, if the minister knew about it the day before yesterday, how could he delay coming to His Majesty until now? ”

Yang Guang sneered: "It's good that you understand this truth, you courtiers supervise each other and fight each other, and I can allow it in some kind of way." But if you get the idea to my palace, hum. Wang Shichong, you should know that I am a person who is not patient or tolerant. ”

Wang Shichong's face was covered with sweat, and his body was also wet, he bowed his head to the ground, pretending to be unusually humble: "In this life, Weichen is only loyal to His Majesty, and there is no second heart to think about." As for Yu Shilang, Weichen didn't dare to go against him, just because Fenglun Fengsheren had always had some festivals with Weichen, so he had to guard against it, and asked His Majesty to investigate. ”

Yang Guang said triumphantly: "You finally confessed that you laid out your eyeliner from Yu Shiji, hmph, you are still loyal, but if Yu Shiji has anything disloyal to me in the future, especially if there is anything about the connection and movement between several literati of the Southern Dynasties, you have to report to me, understand?" ”

A hint of joy flashed on Wang Shichong's face, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Xià Longen, in fact, Weichen has already had this thought, and the reason why he entered the palace late at night today is also to avoid Yu Shiji, there are some things, in front of him, Weichen is not good to say." ”

Yang Guang said softly: "What can't be said in front of him?" Tell me about it. By the way, it's cold, it's cold underground, you get up and talk. ”

Wang Shichong stood up and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty uses Yu Shiji, a Jiangnan literati like Pei Yun has no foundation, so that it will not be like the big families in the north, marrying and marrying, and the power is intertwined. ”

Yang Guang smiled and said: "Okay, Wang Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, I said a long time ago, I like you to speak out in front of me, it's better than you hiding your words in your heart, now there are only you and me, you don't have to have any scruples, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Wang Shichong replied yes and continued: "But Yu Shiji and Pei Yun really don't have any foundation, so they can only meet the holy will and rely on His Majesty, their loyalty to His Majesty should be no problem, and it is unlikely that they will only think about power and look down on His Majesty like Gao Xi, but they have another problem, that is, in order to protect their position, they will suppress people who pose a threat to themselves." ”

"The minister is a target of their suppression, and so is Xue Daoheng, because they know very well that the minister has no foundation, as long as he completely falls to His Majesty, it will pose a threat to their status, and Xue Daoheng is a pure literati, His Majesty has always been good at it, if he is like them, he will be better than them, so they will also take the opportunity to say bad things about the minister and Xue Daoheng, in order to borrow His Majesty's hand to get rid of the two of us, in order to ensure the stability of his position, Xue Daoheng himself has made mistakes, got the handle, and now, they are starting to target Weichen. ”

Yang Guang nodded and said, "You said it well, but what you're doing now, isn't it also saying bad things about them?" What is the difference between them in essence? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head and said loudly: "Weichen is different from them, Weichen will not dare to advise His Majesty just like them in order to flatter His Majesty, just like Xue Daoheng's matter, although Weichen knows that His Majesty has personally said that you don't like the courtiers to admonish, but out of loyalty to His Majesty and the Great Sui, Weichen knows that it will make His Majesty unhappy, and he still has to use his own way to remind His Majesty that he is willing to accept the death penalty." ”

Yang Guang sighed: "Wang Aiqing, compared to them, you can indeed be regarded as a direct minister, but you also can't say anything directly, like Xue Daoheng's matter, you didn't publicly tell me that you can't kill ah, and you have to go around with me, and you are pretending to be sick, is this also a reminder?" ”

Wang Shichong hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "This is the minister's dereliction of duty, thinking that His Majesty is wise, even if he is hot-headed for a while, he will be sober afterwards, but he forgets that His Majesty is in charge of everything, and sometimes he will forget about it.
