Chapter 192 Wan He's counterattack
At this time, Xu Shanxin was completely stunned, he never expected that Wan He would be able to find Yang Yichen to testify for him! Yang Yichen: Who is that? He has always been regarded as a neutral faction in the DPRK, but no one dares to underestimate his strength! In this northern rebellion, the Son of Heaven relied on him even more and sent him north to quell the rebellion! Although Yang Yichen has not set off yet, with Yang Yichen's ability to fight, this battle will undoubtedly be won! Such an important person would actually testify for Wan He, a gentleman from a merchant family? Xu Shanxin couldn't believe his ears!
"Hmmm! Since Yang Yichen has testified for you, then I will leave this matter aside for the time being! Yang Guang said in a deep voice, it can be regarded as a conclusion on this matter, Xu Shanxin heard this, and his heart suddenly cooled a lot. However, what Yang Guang said next gave him a glimmer of hope, only to hear Yang Guang's voice suddenly raise a few tones, and shouted: "I ask you!" I appointed you as the lord of the Ministry of Rites, and you didn't do your best for me, and even declared your personal vendetta and repeatedly stopped the visiting envoys of the Japanese Kingdom! What kind of heart do you have? ”
Xu Shanxin also let go of his heart this time, it seems that the Son of Heaven is not blindly biased towards Wan He, although he cannot cure Wan He's capital crime, but dereliction of duty can also remove Wan He from his post and investigate, which can be regarded as cutting off the arm of King Yue!
And just after Yang Guang finished scolding, Wan He was not in a hurry, raised his hands above his head, bowed, and shouted loudly: "Back to Your Majesty!" The minister entered the palace this time to report to His Majesty because of this matter! Please also ask Your Majesty to continue to allow the ministers to defend themselves! ”
Self-defense, this word came out of Wan He's mouth again, making Xu Shanxin's heart chuckle again, just a self-defense, let Wan He escape the death penalty, and now another self-defense, can this Wan He have any other words to avoid this crime of dereliction of duty? If it was placed before Wan He entered the palace, Xu Shanxin would not believe it, but after the scene just now, Xu Shanxin also had to believe that Wan He's mouth was powerful! After hesitating several times, Xu Shanxin wanted to exit to stop Wanhe, but in the end, Xu Shanxin still didn't dare to open his mouth.
"Oh?" Yang Guang was already smiling at the moment, he liked this kid more and more now, and the reason why he continued to ask for guilt was just to knock Wan He, even if Wan He confessed, Yang Guang would only verbally punish him at most. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info now heard that Wan He was about to defend himself again, Yang Guang was also interested, and said with a smile: "Okay! I'll allow you to defend yourself again! But as I said in advance, this time it's different from just now, it's not just that you find someone to intercede! ”
"Don't dare!" Wan He sweated a lot in his heart, and Yang Guang was not stupid to dare to love this, he had already seen through Wan He's little tricks, but he didn't say it! But in this way, Wan He's heart is more stable, which shows that Yang Guang is still on his side! Immediately, Wan He took out a scroll from his cuffs, raised it above his head, and said to Yang Guang: "The minister first invites Your Majesty to take a look!" Originally, the minister was still considering whether to submit this letter to His Majesty, but today it has come to this point, and the minister can only ask His Majesty to make a royal judgment in order to clear up his grievances! ”
"Huh?" Wan He suddenly took out the letter of the Wa State, which made Yang Guang and Xu Shanxin a little surprised, before Xu Shanxin said that Wan He had always refused to receive the envoys of the Wa State, but now he even took out the letter of the Wa State, isn't this contradictory to Xu Shanxin's words? Xu Shanxin couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward and said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty! It has been more than half a month since the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom came to the Eastern Capital! But Wanhe didn't dedicate his credentials until today! This is already a great dereliction of duty! Your Majesty, please punish the sin according to the law! ”
"Xu Qing's family!" At this time, Yang Guang suddenly waved his hand and said, "Since I promised to let Wan He defend himself, let him finish his words first!" If Xu Qing's family has anything to say, you might as well wait until then! Huai'an, you go and bring the national letter of the Japanese country, I want to see what progress these Japanese people have made! ”
"Ugh!" Yang Guang said this, Xu Shanxin naturally didn't dare to say anything more, he didn't forget the four years of the great cause, when the Japanese people also entered the national letter, but in the national letter called themselves "the son of heaven at sunrise", and called Yang Guang "the son of heaven at sunrise", at that time Yang Guangke was furious about this matter! This is also why Xu Shanxin's selection of the envoys of the Japanese State is difficult for Wanhe! Regardless of whether Wan He neglected those envoys of the Japanese State or not, this incident alone was enough for him to find a handle to deal with Wan He! Now it seems that the anger in Yang Guang's heart has not disappeared, otherwise he would not have said the sentence just now.
Zhang Huai'an immediately took the translation of the national letter from Wan He's hand, and then quickly came to Yang Guang and presented it respectfully. Yang Guang picked up the translation of the national letter very casually, and then opened it to take a look, but before he looked at it for a while, Yang Guang's eyes immediately widened, and his eyes were full of anger! By the time Yang Guang finished reading the entire national book, his face was already pitch black, and it was obvious that what was written in that national book greatly stimulated Yang Guang!
"Bastard! Darn! Yang Guang shouted angrily, and directly tore the translation of the national letter to shreds and scattered it into the air, but obviously this was not enough to calm the anger in Yang Guang's heart, those eyes glared at Wan He fiercely, and they were about to breathe fire! Yang Guang pointed at Wan He and shouted: "Wan He! How daring! I said at the beginning that such a barbaric and rude book should not be heard again! How dare you hand it over to me? You, you, what is your heart? ”
Yang Guang's roar echoed in the Guande Palace, shaking the ornaments next to him, this is the real anger of the Son of Heaven! Although Zhang Huai'an, Xu Shanxin, and the surrounding palace maids and chamberlains didn't know what was written on the ground in the national letter, they all knelt down to Yang Guang for the first time, leaned over and shouted: "Your Majesty is angry!" ”
And Wan He, who bore the brunt of it, was chilling in his back at the moment, but it was the first time he saw Yang Guang angry, and when he thought of the brutal evaluation of Yang Guang in history, Wan He's heart was beating hard! But even so, Wan He knew that he couldn't retreat, took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and then bowed to Yang Guang and said, "Your Majesty forgive your sins!" The minister had no intention of dedicating this national letter, but the minister really had a hard time! Please also ask Your Majesty to listen to the minister's self-defense! ”
"Defend yourself! Defend yourself! Self-justification in your mouth! It's just that you want to be angry with me to death, aren't you? Yang Guang was so angry that he almost jumped up! Zhang Huai'an, who was next to him, was also frightened, he hadn't seen Yang Guang so angry for a long time, God knows what was written in that national letter! And seeing that Wan He was still provoking Yang Guang's nerves, Zhang Huai'an secretly complained bitterly, and called Wan He the ancestor in his heart, so to provoke Yang Guang, I was afraid that the entire Guande Hall would be buried with Wan He! Yang Guang got up from the dragon chair angrily, walked quickly in front of Wan He, the expression on his face was already distorted by anger, and pointed to Wan He's head and shouted: "Okay! Good! You have to defend yourself! I'll let you defend yourself! I want to see what you can do to save your head! ”
When Xu Shanxin, who was kneeling beside Wan He, heard this, his heart was full of joy, it seemed that Yang Guang had already killed Wan He, this was the result that Xu Shanxin wanted to see the most! Now Xu Shanxin wishes that Wan He would say more, in this way, he will definitely die!
If Wan He wants to say that he is not afraid at this moment, it must be a lie, but no matter how scared he is in his heart, Wan He can only hold back the fear in his heart, beat his heart sideways, and say without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty! This time, at the risk of being beheaded by His Majesty, the minister presented this letter of state to His Majesty, completely out of loyalty to His Majesty! Your Majesty has just seen that the Wa Kingdom is just a small barbarian state, but it dares to make a big statement in the national letter, disrespecting Your Majesty! Does Your Majesty think it is strange? Who gave them such guts? In addition to this letter of state, the envoys of the Japanese State also made a request to the minister, hoping that His Majesty would allow the Japanese State to send 3,000 men and horses to the Eastern Capital! At the same time, 100,000 catties of iron and stone, 3,000 horses of silk, and 200,000 quintals of grain are imported every year! According to the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom, this is a rule that must be followed in previous years! ”
"What!" If Yang Guang was angry before, then now he is shocked! Send 3,000 soldiers and horses to the eastern capital? Is this eastern capital still the capital of the Great Sui? With such an astonishing amount of iron, silk, and grain being enshrined every year, it is clear that a lower country is paying tribute to the upper country! A mere Japanese country, how can it be so bold? What made Yang Guang most angry was Wan He's last sentence, is this still the rule that must be followed in previous years? What are the rules? Why has he, the great Sui Emperor, never heard of it?
Xu Shanxin was also stunned at the moment, he was stunned by Wan He's words, he never thought that someone would be so bold and open his mouth in front of Yang Guang! When Wan He finished the last sentence, Xu Shanxin suddenly shuddered, and he immediately realized who Wan He's words were aimed at? In previous years, those who were responsible for negotiating with Fanbang were basically the Ministry of Rites, although Honglu Temple was also responsible for receiving Fanbang, but basically they were responsible for sending envoys! If there is such an agreement, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Etiquette! Xu Shanxin has been a waiter in the Ministry of Rites for many years, and there is a problem in the negotiation with the Wa State, and the biggest responsibility is, of course, borne by him!
At this time, Xu Shanxin looked at Wan He's expressionless face, and an extreme fear surged in his heart, this Wan He not only defused his offensive, but also issued such a fierce counterattack! Turning his head again, just in time to meet Yang Guang's cold eyes, Xu Shanxin couldn't help but shudder, and immediately bowed down to Yang Guang, shouting: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Minister, minister, minister wronged! ”
