Yang Guang scolded hatefully: "Uncle Ma plotted this dog thing, while taking the funds, manpower, and material resources I gave him, while making up these stories of gods and ghosts, and stealing the treasures I used to worship the gods, it's really damned!" In order to protect the tomb of Suiyang City and King Xu Yan, he went around hundreds of miles more, and the soldiers and civilians who dug the river for this reason were hundreds of thousands of people, and he should really be cut by a thousand knives! ”

Yu Shiji immediately echoed: "Supreme Sage, for such a petty person, if you don't deal with it with heavy punishment, it will be difficult for the people to be angry!" ”

Wang Shichong stood there, silent, Yang Guang saw that he didn't speak, and said strangely: "Wang Aiqing, do you have any opinions?" Shouldn't this Uncle Ma be killed? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head, and said with a straight face: "Uncle Ma's crime is extremely evil, and people and gods are angry, of course he should be killed, and he must be punished and announced to the world, so that the suffering and resentment of the people of Lianghuai because of the opening of the river can be turned to this Uncle Ma, not against the court and the Supreme!" ”

The corners of Yang Guang's mouth hooked, and he said a little unhappily: "What, could it be that these fools still turn their anger at me?" It's the other way around! ”

Wang Shichong raised his head, pretended to be loyal on his face, and said: "The land of Lianghuai, the people have always been strong, believing in ghosts and gods, what the minister is worried about is that the few supernatural things that Uncle Ma encountered when he was planning to open the river are related to the ancient kings of Song Xianggong and King Xu Yan, and his move to bypass Suiyang City and the tomb of King Xu Yan, although it was a bribe, but now the land of Lianghuai has spread, saying that in order to protect the local guardian spirits, the chief manager of Ma did not hesitate to disobey the holy decree and took a detour. So. It faintly pointed the resentment of the people because of the opening of the river to the Supreme. These words, Wei Chen must risk death to speak out, and ask His Majesty to surrender. As he spoke, he flicked his placket and knelt down.

The muscles on Yang Guang's face jumped, and he smiled instead, took two steps forward, and helped Wang Shichong up with his own hands: "Wang Aiqing, please get up." Your loyalty, I am very clear, I also served as the governor of Yangzhou, I still have some understanding of the folk customs there, and it is precisely because of this that I specially sent the inner attendant to send Baibi to pay tribute to Zhang Liang, not because I believe in this, but because the people there believe in these ghosts and gods. So what do you think should be done now? ”

Wang Shichong pondered for a moment and said, "This Uncle Ma must be killed." But not in the name of accepting bribes from demons and gods, but to catch him and instruct the wicked and wicked servants. The abduction of the people's children's steamed food is indeed unconscionable, and General Duan Daduan, the envoy of the middle of the river, also secretly collected the bones of the children who were abandoned after he ate them, and loaded them into several carts, which was shocking. With this alone, you could kill him hundreds of times! ”

Yang Guang nodded: "Well, this one is indeed okay, then, let's wipe out the three clans of Uncle Ma, to set an example, Wang Aiqing, you are proficient in the law, what do you think?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "It stands to reason that the three clans of Uncle Ma should be wiped out, but Wei Chen thinks that in this matter, it is better to kill Uncle Ma alone, and it is not appropriate to involve too much." ”

Yang Guang said softly: "Why is this?" Shouldn't his crimes be exterminated? ”

Wang Shichong said: "His crime should be exterminated, but His Majesty should also take into account that although this Uncle Ma deserves death, after all, there is a great merit in opening the river, in less than a year, the Tongji Canal will be dredged, and the big dragon boat can be unimpeded, although so many people who dig the river have died, but now the grain in the south of the Yangtze River can be continuously transported to the Eastern Capital, and then transferred to the Yellow River, and along the Yongji Canal to the north to Zhuo County, and only a violent and ruthless person like Ma Shumou can do it." ”

"In the heart of His Majesty, it should be Kyushu Wanfang, a thousand years of meritorious deeds, to do this, not only to use officials with benevolent and close hearts to the people, but also to use Uncle Ma to seek such a greedy and profitable villain, just like the turbid water of the Yellow River, the water of the Yangtze River is clear, but the clear water can also break the embankment, and the turbid water can also be irrigated to benefit the people.

Yang Guang laughed and patted Wang Shichong on the shoulder: "Wang Aiqing, when you say this, are you afraid of the hearts of these ruthless and wicked people who will work for me in the future?" ”

Wang Shichong's face made a humble expression: "The people of the world, not all are good people, His Majesty is a promising king, conquering the east and the west, creating a prosperous era, it is necessary to use the people's power to levy and issue conscription, if this time Uncle Ma is too heavy and ruthless, then some Diao people with ulterior motives will use this matter as a proof of His Majesty's improper employment, and then question His Majesty's decision-making, the next time His Majesty wants to fight or do other big things, it will be difficult to recruit people, And an official like Ma Shumou who can complete the appointment will also have relatives in his heart, and he will not dare to carry out His Majesty's holy will to the letter. ”

The corners of Yang Guang's mouth turned up slightly, and he could see that he was not very happy, although Wang Shichong's words were reasonable, but hearing that his people were not obedient to him still made this emperor who had appointed himself a generation of holy monarchs feel very uncomfortable. He nodded and said, "Then according to Wang Aiqing's meaning, what should be done?" ”

Wang Shichong raised his head and said slowly: "When Ma Shumou was digging the tomb of Sima Huayuan of the Song Kingdom, there was a stone inscription that said that if he didn't avoid it, he would be given two golden knives. This Hua Yuan is a general of the Song State, who once entered the Chu camp alone, hijacked the general of the Chu State, forced the Chu State to withdraw its troops, and was very famous among the people in the Lianghuai area. ”

"This time Uncle Ma plotted to destroy his tomb, and there is such an inscription in the world, then simply on the charge of killing and eating children, Uncle Ma will be beheaded outside Suiyang City, take the meaning of two golden knives, and cut him into three sections, so that the will of heaven should be followed, and the people should be obedient to the people's will, and also respond to the words of the ghosts and gods, so that the people of Lianghuai think that His Majesty is acting for the sky, so that the anger is also out, and he will only be grateful to His Majesty in the future."

Yang Guang's brows were completely stretched at this moment, and he said with a smile: "Very good, very good, Wang Aiqing is really clever, and he will solve my worries and solve problems, okay, just do what you say." Yu Shilang, the intended purpose. Shangkaifu general, Tongji Canal and the head of the river Ma Shumou, brutal and unkind, killing and eating young children, according to the clan punishment, read its meritorious work in opening the river, exempt his whole family from the death penalty, the nephew and nephew changed to exile in Lingnan, the Ma Shu plot outside Suiyang City, cut three sections, with the anger of the people, its evil servants Golden Cave, Tao Langer brothers and other robbers and murderers of young children, were whipped to death outside Suiyang City. ”

Yu Shiji took out a roll of silk silk and a charcoal pen from the sleeve of his left hand like a trick, and quickly wrote down Yang Guang's will on it, many years of sycophant career has made him this kind of shorthand props not leave his hand, after remembering, he and Wang Shichong knelt down and kowtowed together, Yang Guang stroked his beard with satisfaction in the "Majesty Xià Shengming" of the two, and was proud......
