Yang Guang's face changed: "Wang Shichong, what do you mean by this, are you saying that I am fighting in the front, and someone dares to rebel in the back?" ”

Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "The minister does not dare to say anything, but the position of the Son of Heaven is enough to attract those conspirators to risk the disaster of extermination, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, it has also violated the interests of many people, and the people who resent Your Majesty in their hearts are not nothing, may Your Majesty investigate deeply!" ”

Yang Guang sneered: "Okay, very good, there is such a small picture, it seems that I am still too soft, I didn't kill enough, I thought that I killed Gao Xi, He Ruobi, these old guys from the former dynasty who don't put me in their eyes, can shock the hearts of some people, but I can't imagine that these people still don't change." Wang Aiqing, you said, who are these ambitious people, I have to clear these hidden dangers before I set out on the expedition. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Weichen doesn't have clear evidence in his hands, but he just thinks that there is one person who deserves His Majesty's attention, and ordinary small shrimp can't make big waves, so those who have the ability to take advantage of His Majesty's expedition and make trouble inside must be heavyweight ministers." ”

Yang Guang smiled and said: "My important ministers have to go on an expedition to Goguryeo with me, and there will be no heavyweight ministers left in the country, unless they ............" When he said this, his face suddenly changed, and he said hurriedly, "What are you talking about, Zhang Heng, who is now staying in Jiangdu and supervising the construction of Jiangdu Palace?" ”

Wang Shichong's expression became extremely serious: "May Your Majesty be a holy judge." ”

Yang Guang's expression became extremely serious, and at this moment, he suddenly remembered the smug sneer from his heart after Zhang Heng killed his father. It made him shudder a little, and the big wooden stick that held him in his hand was still stained with blood. It used to be his nightmare a few years ago. Lingering. A man who dared to kill the king with his own hands. There is nothing to fear in this world, and Zhang Heng's ruthlessness makes him feel palpitations, and he has been belittled by excuses for the past few years, this person now thinks about himself and already has a grudge against himself, listening to Wang Shichong say this, he really has the motivation and ability to make trouble!

Yang Guang gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Aiqing." Do you have any specific evidence about Zhang Heng's misdeeds? To be empirical, there must not be a trace of speculation and chasing after the wind! ”

Wang Shichong said: "Ten days ago, when Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, inspected Jiangdu on behalf of His Majesty, Zhang Heng once said to him, saying that Xue Daoheng had received it for no reason, and he was really wronged, and seeing that his life was not guaranteed, he could not advise His Majesty as a courtier, which was really a pity. ”

Yang Guang said softly: "Is there such a thing?" Why didn't Yang Shangshu explain it to me? And I don't have anyone here to complain about Cui Daoheng, and Zhang Heng has never written against it. ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with a cold blue light: "Your Majesty." The deep meaning of this Zhang Heng is not to avenge Xue Daoheng's grievances. It's about winning over Yang Xuangan. The death of Chu Guogong was quite criticized by the outside world, and Yang Xuangan has been arranged to be a civilian over the years and has never led a soldier, so Zhang Heng wants to take the opportunity to win over Yang Xuangan to join him in the future. ”

Yang Guang was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded: "The old thief is really hateful, Wang Aiqing, is this matter true, and how do you know about it?" ”

Wang Shichong said: "Zhang Heng built a palace in Jiangdu, and most of the wood and building materials used were provided by Weichen's firm, so when Zhang Heng invited Yang Shangshu to a banquet that day, he also picked the best restaurant in Jiangdu operated by Weichen to set up a banquet. ”

Yang Guang gritted his teeth and said, "Then what is going on with this Yang Xuangan?" Why didn't he report this matter to me after he returned to the Eastern Capital? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Yang Xuangan is just a martial artist, I'm afraid I haven't heard Zhang Heng's deep meaning." In addition, Zhang Heng supervised the construction of His Majesty's Jiangdu Palace for more than a year, but the project was less than one-third completed, and he repeatedly told people that His Majesty used too much people's power, and the palace was built too much, which was detrimental to the national strength. ”

Yang Guang scolded hatefully: "When I built the Fenyang Palace in Bingzhou, this Zhang Heng said this kind of thing many times, and was reprimanded by me, hum, I look at his own manor, but it is very well built, and I don't say that I cherish the people's power!" I didn't expect me to drive him to Jiangdu, and I still played this hand with me. Co-authored I am a one-man thief who disregards the people's strength, is he Zhang Heng a loyal minister who is sympathetic to the people! ”

Wang Shichong watched Yang Guang vent angrily here, and sneered in his heart, but he was still submissive and kept saying yes.

After Yang Guang finished scolding, he said, "Wang Aiqing, what do you say to do now?" Do you want to lock Zhang Heng immediately? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Weichen thinks it's impossible. With just a joke, he arrested important ministers, but he was afraid that the people would not be convinced. And Zhang Heng has been in the Eastern Capital for more than a year, and the power operating there is not small, if he rashly moves him, I am afraid that he will fight to the death, although he is a mantis arm as a car, but he will also miss the major event of His Majesty's conquest of Goguryeo, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate. ”

Yang Guang pondered for a moment and said, "Then according to you, what should I do?" ”

Wang Shichong said: "Weichen is willing to share worries for His Majesty, go to Jiangdu, in the name of checking the progress of Zhang Heng's palace construction, to see if he is loyal to His Majesty, if he has built the palace almost, it means that this person is still loyal to His Majesty, on the contrary, if he deliberately delays the progress, or even deducts the cost, it means that Zhang Heng at this time is preparing in secret, and wants to use the money to recruit troops and buy horses, and take advantage of His Majesty's expedition to make trouble, and then His Majesty will send an edict to transfer Zhang Heng to Beijing, and say that he will go with him to conquer Goguryeo, Then he will take it in the eastern capital, and Weichen will sweep away his power in the Jiangdu, so that a rebellion can be defused invisibly. ”

Yang Guang was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to speak, but he felt that something was wrong, and said: "But now that the military power of Jiangdu is in the hands of Zhang Heng, I gave him the right to mobilize soldiers and horses near Jiangdu in order to facilitate the construction of the palace. And how can his cronies and henchmen be willing to be captured? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "This requires a holy decree from Your Majesty, in the name of conquering Goguryeo, Zhaojiangnan and Lingnan regions, dispatching 20,000 sailors, 30,000 crossbowmen, and 30,000 lance infantry, to assemble in Jiangdu, and Chen Ling, the Tiger Benlang who returned from the victory of the Liuqiu last year, is ready to go north to Zhuo County along the Grand Canal, so that even if Zhang Heng has an antipathy, he will not dare to move!"
