Wei Zheng's eyes flashed with hatred, and he said: "After Pei Yun wrote the impeachment, Yang Guang ordered the three divisions to be interrogated and put Xue Daoheng in prison. ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "I just don't want to bear the infamy of killing Master Xue, so I call myself sick at home, otherwise I, Dali Shaoqing, may be the presiding judge of this case, and if I don't sentence him to a capital crime, I will lose my official position at the worst and die at the worst." ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "The hardships of the lord, Wei knows that no matter who presides over the trial, the result will be the same in the end, so Yang Wang, the Dali Qing, finally closed the case, sentenced Xue Fuzi to a big disrespectful charge, and sentenced him to behead the public." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "This Yang Wang was rampant in the township when he was young, he was a tyrant in the township, which made the villagers look sideways, after he was a little older, he put away his mind and studied hard, after the age of thirty, he actually became a famous literati all over the world, but why should the literati be embarrassed by the literati, he knew Xue Daoheng's grievances, but he met the wishes, such a judgment, is he not afraid that one day the retribution will be unhappy and fall on him?" ”

Wei Zheng sneered: "This Yang Wang is also a sycophant who wants to climb up, there is such a good opportunity, it is too late to talk to Yang Guang, several officials of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department are the same as the lord, saying that he is not sick, he is the most active, and in the end, he is almost the one who presides over the trial and conviction." ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "It's too tragic for Xue Fuzi to die without a body, I think even Yang Guang has to do something superficial." Leave him a whole corpse. ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "Exactly." Yang Guang ordered. For the sake of the elders of Xue Daoheng and the two dynasties, he was given a zhang of white silk and hanged to death at home. ”

Wang Shichong was silent, this was another old grudge between Xue Daoheng and Yang Guang. Probably in the last years of the emperor, there was a drinking party convened by Yang Jian, where literati gathered. At that time, Yang Guang had successfully defeated Yang Yong and became the crown prince, he has always been conceited of his talents, and he usually made more friends with literati and artists, and boasted that his articles were unparalleled in the world. It is also a matter of course to dominate this poetry meeting.

The other talented people who were there at the time. Either the level is not enough, or they dare not challenge Yang Guang's talent, they all deliberately silent, only Xue Daoheng, looking at a swallow's nest on the beam, immediately said: The dark version of the floating spider web, the empty beam falls into the swallow mud. These two sentences made Yang Guang scratch his ears and cheeks, and he didn't come up with a better sentence, and in the end he could only watch Xue Daoheng come out on top and get Yang Jian's wine, but he didn't expect that after many years, Yang Guang was still angry, and took out this matter before Xue Daoheng was executed to ridicule it, which shows how much he holds grudges.

Wei Zheng sighed: "After the death of Master Xue, his son Xue Ping resigned from his official position, and vowed not to be in the Sui Dynasty again in his life. Lord, that Xue Ping is a famous man in Hedong, and his article talent is extremely outstanding, you lack such a literati here, if there is an incident in the future, you need a pen to draft an edict, do you think you can take this opportunity to pull Xue Ping over? ”

Wang Shichong pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Not now, is Xue Ping returning to his hometown in Hedong after resigning?" ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "Exactly, Xue Daoheng is a native of Fenyin, Hedong, after he died, Xue Shui took his coffin home for burial, Yang Guang did not forgive the sins of Xue Daoheng's family, let them be exiled and end (a county after Tuyuhun was conquered this time), only the youngest son Xue Shui was allowed to take Xue Daoheng's body back to his hometown for burial. This morning, I saw Xue Shu and his entourage, who had already carried the coffin and went out of the north gate on the road. ”

Wang Shichong stood up, paced a few steps, shook his head, and said: "It's not the time yet, Xue Daoheng just died, everyone knows that Xue Shui and Yang Guang don't share the sky, if we show favor to Xue Shui at this time, I'm afraid that he may not be willing to come, and as a filial son, it is at least three years of filial piety for his father, and it is impossible for him to come over to do things in the short term, more importantly, Yang Guang is not a fool, after he killed Xue Daoheng, he must also want to see who secretly complains about Xue Daoheng, so at this time, you must not contact Xue Shui." In a year or two, we can send someone to secretly help their family, but we can't directly reveal our identity. ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "Yes, lord." It's just that in this way, it's a bit of a pity, this time the lord didn't go to judge Xue Daoheng, and the matter of you speaking for Xue Fuzi in the palace also came out, in the comments of the scholars, your image has been greatly improved, and Yang Xuangan, who saved Kong Yingda's life, was regarded by those scholars from martial artists and businessmen as a real handsome man with strength and talent. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "By the way, speaking of that Kong Yingda, when I first met you Xuancheng in Hebei before, you once recommended me, saying that this person is talented, so that I have the opportunity to recruit into the shogunate, but it is a pity that although I have hired him several times to go out of the mountains and enter my shogunate, but he repeatedly refused, I thought that this person did not have the heart to be born, but I can't imagine that this Luoyang City discussion conference, he actually participated, and also beat the Confucianism, won the first, it seems that this Kong Yingda is not willing to be a hermit in the mountains and wilderness for the rest of his life." ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "Learn to become a literary and martial artist and sell it to the emperor's family, if it weren't for the glory and wealth, how many people would be willing to suffer from that cold window!" Kong Yingda once studied under Liu Zhuo, a great Confucian in Hebei, but at this Confucian Discourse Conference, he was out of the blue and defeated his teacher, which shows that his desire to seek fame is not ordinarily strong. His family has been an official for generations, and his father also joined the army in the state of Northern Qi, not a commoner, presumably he is not interested in the hermit life of the mountain and village man, it is precisely because he is familiar with the details that I will persuade the lord to recruit this person. ”

A trace of regret flashed on Wang Shichong's face: "Maybe my reputation among scholars was not very good at that time, and he felt that I had no future as a subordinate, so this time Yang Guang held a Confucian conference on Taoism, and he wanted to use this to make a name for himself in the world and seek an official position." It's a pity that his people are too sharp, and they greatly folded the face of many seniors at the conference, which provoked these old guys to send assassins to take his life, if it weren't for Yang Xuangan's protection, I'm afraid that he would have become a lonely ghost by this time, and Yang Guang doesn't seem to be interested in him.
