The officials who were talking a lot just now all shut their mouths, and the hall became silent, only the sound of shackles clanging when Wang Shiji walked echoed in the hall, with the sound of the late winter cold wind blowing in the hall, which made people feel heavy.

Wang Shiji seems to have been drained of his soul, the majestic and invincible general in the past, at this time he is like a walking corpse, and he doesn't look at the former colleagues on both sides, he numbly walked to the hall, stopped about thirty steps away from Yang Jian, and the two warriors beside him pressed his shoulders, his knees loosened, knelt softly, and bowed his head silently.

Zhao Zhongqing took a few steps forward and said loudly: "The person who committed Wang Shiji has confessed to his rebellion, here is his confession, please take a look at it!"

Yang Jian stared at Wang Shiji tightly, and waved his hand directly: "This kind of rebellious evil act, I will dirty my eyes when I see it, today all the civil and military officials are present, Zhao Qingjia, please read it to you." ”

Zhao Zhongqing answered, turned to the direction of the hundred officials, took out a stack of confessions, and began to read page by page, Wang Shiji's crime, from the early years of the emperor, he had said to Gao Xi that Yang Jian was not the lord of common wealth and wealth, and it was better to make plans as soon as possible, and Gao Xi rejected it at that time.

Immediately after the opening of the emperor five years, Wang Shiji persuaded Yang Jian to abdicate as the emperor through Gao De's letter, and passed on the matter of the crown prince Yang Yong, and secretly began to connect some generals with heavy troops, just waiting for the world to change, then raised troops to stand on their own, and later because Yang Jian angrily reprimanded Gao De in public, announced that he would not abdicate, and Yang Yong also took the initiative to fade out of court affairs. Wang Shiji saw that he had no chance, so he had to give up.

When the emperor opened the tenth year of Pingchen, Wang Shiji in order to secretly expand his military government and maintain a huge private army, he started the idea of Wang He, who had already separated from his family, and tried to rob Wang He's several shops, and later when Wang He's three sons joined the army and Ping Chen, Wang Shiji also framed him and deliberately put him in a place where he would die, and finally Wang Huashi, the eldest brother of the three brothers of the Wang family, died in battle. And the second brother who survived. It is the now renamed Wailang of the Driving Department of the Ministry of War, Shangyi and Wang Shichong.

When Zhao Zhongqing read this, Yang Jian suddenly waved his hand and said, "Wang Yuanwai." Is there such a thing? ”

Wang Shichong had already burst into tears at this time. Eyeliers cracked. This time he was not acting, but really new hatred and old hatred came to his heart, thinking of the appearance of his eldest brother when he was nailed to the ground. His heart was so painful that he cried loudly: "Your Majesty Shengming, this dog thief killed my brother's life, Your Majesty must avenge your minister!"

Yang Jian was also infected by Wang Shichong's affection, and said movingly: "Wang Yuanwai, your grievances, I will definitely be the master for you!" You step back first, Zhao Aiqing, and continue to read Wang Shichong's crimes!"

Zhao Zhongqing's loud voice continued to sound, and then Wang Shiji was worried that his previous rebellious actions would be exposed and liquidated, and began to take the initiative to retreat to protect himself, pretending to be drunk all day long at home, ignoring the affairs of the court, on the surface, he was just asking about the affairs of the military, but in fact, he was all over the ears and eyes, inquiring about the movements of the DPRK and China, and when there was an opportunity to fight, he couldn't wait to jump out, seeking the opportunity to take charge of the army, trying to maintain his influence in the army, and showing favor to the middle and low-level soldiers in order to support them.

Not only that, Wang Shiji also took the opportunity of the foreign appointment, from the governor of Jingzhou and Liangzhou, to the important ministers and generals of the court, in order to tie his heart, for example, recently he was the governor of Liangzhou for less than half a year, he gave Shangshu the left servant Gao Xi, the left guard general Yuan Min, and the right guard general Yuan Zhou each sent three excellent horses, all of which were produced in Tuyuhun's Qinghai Cong.

Yang Jian said in a deep voice: "Dugu Gong, two Yuan generals, can there be such a thing?" ”

Gao Servant hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Wang Shiji did send the minister three Qinghai horses, although the minister and his friends for many years, he accepted it on the spot because of the situation, but he also knew that this Qinghai Gong was a BMW, and there was not even in the royal stables of His Majesty, so the minister changed hands and sent the three Qinghai horses to the palace, and Murong Sidda could testify for the minister. ”

Murong Siddha hurriedly stood up and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, the official certificate when the high servant shot the horse into the warehouse is still there, and the minister will send someone to fetch it for His Majesty!"

Yang Jian said coldly: "No need, it's hard for Dugu Gong to be so hard and loyal!" It's just that I advise you, when you make friends in the future, it's best to recognize his true heart first, no matter how big the friendship is, it's not as big as the loyalty to the country and the king. ”

Gao Xi hurriedly knelt down: "The minister is guilty, he didn't care when he heard Wang Shiji's rebellious words, and he inadvertently created a convenience for his rebellion over the years. ”

Yang Jian waved his hand: "This is not necessary, the imperial court cannot be without Dugu Gong for a day, and the Turkic war is close at hand, and I hope that Dugu Gong can be more diligent in state affairs and select loyal and reliable elite soldiers and good generals to go to battle!"

Gao Xi didn't dare to raise his head, and beads of sweat fell to the ground: "Emperor Shengming, long live, long live, long live!"

A cold glint flashed in Yang Jian's eyes, and his gaze fell on Yuan Xuan and Yuan Min: "Dare to ask the two Yuan generals, what about your Qinghai Cong?" ”

Yuan Min, the general of the left guard, fell to his knees all of a sudden, and his voice was crying: "Your Majesty, it's all because the minister has no eyes, and he has been kept in the dark for this dog thief, the minister is a military general, and he usually likes to collect some weapons and armor staffs, war horses and soldiers, and the like, you know, the minister really didn't expect that this dog thief actually wanted to pull the minister into the water, and he was confused for a while, so he accepted the three horses, and the minister went to send the three horses back to the royal stable!"

The general of the right guard, Yuan Guan, glanced at Yuan Min with disdain, although these two are both descendants of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the relationship has always been like fire and water, and it is precisely because of this that Yang Jian let these two people control the army of the left and right guards respectively, in order to balance each other, Yuan Xuan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister was confused for a while, and after seeing that Yuan Min received three horses, he also accepted them, and His Majesty punished them." ”

Yang Jian said coldly: "Okay, okay, Yuanxuan, you touch your conscience and say, how do I usually treat you?" ”

Yuan Xuan's eyes glistened with tears: "The heavens and the earth are thick! It's the cat ghost case two months ago, the minister just caught a demon girl, and His Majesty rewarded the minister with a hundred pieces of brocade silk!"

Yang Jian suddenly roared angrily, his beard fluttering: "Well said, I myself am reluctant to wear silk clothes in the palace, and I only wear four sets of clothes throughout the year, but even if you have the merit of size, I will never be a reward, Yuanzhou, the reward I have added to you in the past twenty years is not worth Wang Shiji's three horses?" ”

Yuan Xuan also knelt down with a "plop", crying silently: "The minister should die, and I am willing to receive a qiē punishment from His Majesty." ”

Yang Jian said sharply: "Zhao Qing's family, there are still three, read them now!" Let everyone hear what kind of thing this Wang Shiji is!"

Zhao Zhongqing read out loud the matter of Wang Shiji's Jingzhou face and Liangzhou's separation, as well as the dispatch of Yin Yiyuan to destroy the emperor's filial piety, and no one in the entire hall spoke, but everyone's breathing began to become heavy, it was a kind of angry voice, trying to suppress the volcanic anger in his heart.

After Zhao Zhongqing finished reading, Yang Su was the first to stand up and said loudly: "The ministers ask the saint to decree that the nine clans of the king and the world will be punished, the evil deeds of this thief are monstrous, and people and gods abandon them together.

Hundreds of officials rushed to stand up and second, and the hall suddenly became like a vegetable market, and many officials rolled up their sleeves, their faces swollen red, pointing at Wang Shiji and scolding, and they almost came up to bite him a few times.

Yang Jian's face sank like water, standing still in a shouting and killing, until the sound gradually subsided, he spoke: "Wang Shiji's crime, according to the law, should be beheaded, God has the virtue of a good life, the matter of clan punishment, just let Wang Shiji expell, dismiss the official, punish the son and nephew as an official slave, and flow three thousand miles!" Wang Shiji, for the sake of you also fighting for the country, I will leave you with a whole corpse and kill you instead, can you be convinced? ”

Wang Shiji's lips trembled twice, and he kowtowed hard: "Minister Xie Xià, long live!" (To be continued......)
