He turned his head to look at Su Wei, "Passing the decree, the secretary of the military department, the left guard of the East Palace led Su Xiaoci to leave Beijing on the same day, and served as the assassin of Xizhou with the title of secretary of the military department, and he will take office immediately, there must be no mistake!"

Su Xiaoci's eyes were shining with tears, this veteran of the three dynasties from the Western Wei Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Great Sui Dynasty was used to seeing life-and-death court battles, but he never thought that he would fall to this point today, Yang Jian's intentions could not be clearer, before the war, it seemed that the Guanlong Group that favored the prince would be cleaned, and Yu Qingze, himself, and the next Shi Wansui would be the first batch of unlucky eggs.

But Yang Jian obviously has made up his holy will, it is useless to argue, and it is useless to intercede, and the core ministers of the empire who are present now, from Gao Xi to Yang Su, to Yuan Min and Yuan Guan, have no intention of interceding for themselves at all, obviously these people have already grasped Yang Jian's intentions, and will not accompany him to make a mistake, Su Xiaoci sighed, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the ground: "The ministers are grateful!"

Su Xiaoci stood up, turned around and walked back, and suddenly heard Yang Jian say, "Wait!"

Su Xiaoci suddenly felt a surprise in his heart, yes, the emperor still misses the old feelings, just now he gave such an order in anger, now he must have changed his mind, the position of the prince is now in jeopardy, and he must not leave the capital at this time!

Su Xiaoci turned around, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, but Yang Jian's frosty cold words came from his ears: "The matter discussed today is a state secret, and it can be out of this palace, and not half a sentence can be transmitted, understand?" ”

Su Xiaoci felt a huge sadness in his heart, his body shook twice, and his throat was sweet. A mouthful of blood gushed into his throat. Almost didn't faint. He was speechless for a while, until Yang Jian said again: "Su Tingshi, did you hear clearly?" ”

Su Xiaoci knew that he was afraid that he would not have a chance to enter Daxing in this life, he held back his tears, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three heads: "Your Majesty, the old minister is gone, you must take care of the dragon body!" Anyway. Standing up, he walked towards the outside of the hall in despair, and his back looked like he was ten years old, and he did not have the demeanor of a great general when he entered the temple.

Yang Jian watched Su Xiaoci's figure disappear around the corner of the main hall with an expressionless face, and sighed at the end, and asked the three generals who were standing with their heads bowed on the side: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you say that I treat Su Xiaoci like this, is it too ruthless?" ”

Gao Xi arched his hand and said: "Su Xiaoci has no eyes on the king, and openly blocking the courtiers' admonition in front of His Majesty, according to the etiquette law, it is already a great disrespect. His Majesty did not dismiss him as an official, but made him an assassin. That's a great grace!"

Yang Su's thick eyebrows raised, and said: "Su Xiaoci is really too unkind this time, the minister just now wanted to teach him a lesson, it seems that Yu Qing is ambushed, he is quite unfair." ”

Su Wei's thin figure also stepped forward, and his white eyebrows moved: "Your Majesty, Su Xiaoci defends Shi Wansui like this, and the minister thinks that there must be a reason for this, do you send someone to investigate in detail?" ”

Yang Jian waved his hand: "No need, Su Xiaoci, as a general, has some contacts with these generals, it is very normal, I also believe that he is trying to protect Shi Wanzai in front of me like this, and he also wants to maintain the overall interests and dignity of these generals, not to have any personal dealings with Shi Wanci, what I said to Su Xiaoci just now is also applicable to several of you, and the things discussed today must not be leaked out of the palace after leaving the palace!"

Yang Jian's last sentence was full of majesty, and there was a faint sense of murderous intent, how could the six people, including Wang Shichong, dare to say two words, and they all said yes.

Yang Jian turned to Wang Shichong and smiled slightly, if it weren't for the scene just now, it would really make Wang Shichong feel that he was facing a kind old man: "Outside Wang Yuan, no one will stop you from speaking now, what else do you hear and see, you can say it directly." ”

Wang Shichong knew from Yang Jian's dismissal of Su Xiaoci just now that Yang Jian must investigate the matter of Shi Wansui collecting money and arranging against the enemy to the end, and he will definitely not let it go.

So Wang Shichong gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Although Weichen knows that Marshal Shi of Dao Dao is not good at accepting these gold without the permission of the imperial court, Marshal Shi is the commander of the army and has the right to act arbitrarily, and Weichen is not easy to interfere with his orders and challenge his authority, so he can only agree, but at the same time, he also proposed to Marshal Shi that Weichen and the five generals recommended by Weichen will not participate in the distribution of these golds." ”

Yang Jian laughed: "Wang Yuanwai, are you cleaning yourself?" You must know that you are still a businessman, how can a businessman not be tempted to see money? ”

Wang Yuanwai raised his head, with a loyal expression on his face: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the thunder and rain are all God's grace, and Weichen can make a little money in business, that is under the wise rule of His Majesty, I am in the Great Sui Kingdom, and the people are safe, so I give the minister the opportunity to make money in business, and the business done by the minister is all within the scope of the imperial court's law, and the minister can say without exaggeration that the first copper coin earned by Weichen is legal and taken in a proper way!"

But Marshal Shi took the opportunity of the war this time to force the Ningzhou departments to hand over the gold, these are not within the scope of the imperial court's authorization, and Wei Chen secretly thought that this move would lose the hearts of the Southern Barbarians, and the temporary force of force could not be exchanged for the loyalty and obedience of these Southern Barbarians, I was afraid that these barbarians who had died and robbed the money would rebel again as soon as the army withdrew! Since Weichen couldn't persuade Marshal Shi, he had no choice but to be alone. ”

Yang Jian nodded: "But why didn't you take the initiative to report this matter to the imperial court?" ”

Wang Shichong took a deep breath and said loudly: "Wechen doesn't have any evidence that Marshal Shi directly received money, and Wechen and Marshal Shi went on an expedition of thousands of miles together, and before Marshal Shi's behavior caused a catastrophe, he secretly reported it, so what does the world think of me Wang Shichong?" ”

Yang Jian suddenly laughed: "But Wang Yuanwai is here today to explain this matter, so he is not afraid of the criticism of the world?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "No, Your Majesty said it today, this matter is only limited to all the people in this palace, what is being discussed here is a state affair, for state affairs, Shichong does not dare to have anything to hide from His Majesty, His Majesty's heart is filled with the whole world of the Great Sui, and it will not be as simple as thinking about dozens of boxes of gold, so in front of His Majesty, the minister will not have the slightest concealment, I hope that His Majesty will make a holy judgment!"

Yang Jian smiled: "Outside the king, you are really eight-faced, and you are really good at being a man." Well, I admire your loyalty, and I admire your righteousness, and now I ask you the last thing, what is the fate of the gold? ”

Wang Shichong replied without thinking: "All the gold has been sunk into the water by Marshal Shi. ”

Yang Jian's face changed slightly: "What the hell is going on?" Shi Wansui tried his best to even risk the crime of defrauding the king, and the gold was sunk into the water? ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yes, because Wan Zhiguang, who joined the army sent by His Royal Highness the King of Shu to join the army, held a grudge against the battle of Ningzhou and did not make a big military achievement, and kept staring at Marshal Shi, he heard the news that Marshal Shi got the gold, so he secretly investigated, and wanted to report the matter to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, but Marshal Shi left an eyeliner in the army, and after hearing about this, he took the first step to sink all the gold in Lushui, and when the envoy of the King of Shu came to ask for gold, he fought back fiercely, and scolded Wan Zhiguang, beheaded the messenger who delivered the message, and because of this, the king of Shu also suffered a secret loss, and he didn't dare to mention Marshal Shi's collection of money in the military newspaper anymore. ”

Yang Jian was so angry that he slapped the copy, and with a "snap", the two copies of the case fell directly, and said angrily: "This unfilial son, I asked him to guard one side, but he did such a thing!" Yuanxuan, you did a good thing!"

This time, it was the right guard general Yuan Xuan who recommended Yang Xiu to participate in the pacification of Ningzhou, and he was scolded to the head, he quickly took off his helmet, knelt on the ground, and even called it a capital crime.

Gao Xi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, General Yuan was dedicated to the country at that time, not to mention that the King of Shu was mostly deceived by his subordinates, please calm your anger!" (To be continued......)
