Yang Guang smiled and said: "I see, I thought that this Japanese country was so powerful that I couldn't even clean up Baekje across the sea for a long time, and I was so impulsive, hum, Wang Aiqing, according to what you said, I only need to send three or four hundred thousand elite soldiers, fake Baekje, and cross the sea for an expedition, I can wipe out the Japanese state in one fell swoop." Why not? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Wa Kingdom is not the primary target that our Great Sui must eliminate now, and if it is dealt with properly, it will become our ally in the conquest of Goguryeo." ”

Yang Guangqi said: "How do you say this? ”

Wang Shichong blinked his eyes and said, "First, if our army sends a large army to Baekje now, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of Baekje, although they are now nominally our allies and vassals, but the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period was on the wrong path? They also know the story, if our hundreds of thousands of troops want to take advantage of the road, they will definitely resist desperately, and they will never allow us to pass guò. ”

Yang Guang said angrily: "Baekje dares to fight against the Celestial Empire? Don't they want to live? ”

Pei Shiju on the side continued: "Your Majesty, most of these barbarian countries are only superficially subservient, if my Celestial Empire army really sets foot on their land, they will definitely think that we are going to destroy their country, and they will resist desperately." In the 18th year of the emperor's reign*, the emperor originally wanted to send troops to attack Goguryeo from the south to the north with an army of 150,000 troops, echoing the main force of the northern province from Liaodong. ”

"However, the king of Baekje resolutely opposed our army to fake Baekje, so he was forced to go to sea from Dongnae. Straight to Pyongyang. As a result, there was a storm on the road. The fleet of the former army was almost completely wiped out, and the main force of Liaodong was scattered due to the exhaustion of food, so it would return in vain. However, although Baekje did not allow our troops to land on their territory that time, they also sent tens of thousands of troops to take the opportunity to attack many southern cities of Goguryeo, and almost all of the entire Han River Plain was captured by Baekje and Silla, which was the main reason why Goguryeo was unable to continue and was forced to submit to our Dasui Dynasty. ”

Yang Guang nodded: "So that's the case, so to speak." If you want to destroy Goguryeo, you still have to find a way to fake Baekje, and then advance north and south, so it's safest. ”

Pei Shiju said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the people of Baekje are unwilling, when the Wa Kingdom went to attack the Silla Kingdom under the guise of Baekje, and as a result, the Renna colony was established in the southwest of Baekje, and then it took Baekje one or two hundred years to finally recapture it, this loss is no longer willing to eat, I would rather turn against the Great Sui than allow our army to cross through their borders." If His Majesty wanted to conquer Goguryeo again, the naval troops in the south could only start from Dongnae. Aiming directly at Pyongyang, and then letting Baekje and Silla send troops from the land, and the main force from Zhuojun out of Yingju and going to Liaodong, so that the three armies will advance together, and Goguryeo will be wiped out in one fell swoop. ”

Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction: "Pei Aiqing is really far-sighted, I didn't expect that you are not only proficient in the Western Regions and the essence, but also know so much about the situation in the Goguryeo area. When I really want to send troops to Goguryeo in the future, I will definitely use you heavily. ”

An imperceptible coldness flashed in Pei Shiju's eyes, and he said respectfully: "Obey the holy decree." ”

Yang Guang continued to turn to Wang Shichong: "Wang Aiqing, now I can understand that this Wa State is too far away from the Great Sui, and it is difficult for us to cross the sea to directly attack the Wa State, we have to destroy Goguryeo first, and then find a way to slowly annex Baekje and Silla, and after unifying the Korean Peninsula, we will send a large army to cross the sea and go on an expedition to eliminate the Wa State, right?" ”

Wang Shichong sneered in his heart, this Yang Guang really doesn't understand military affairs, how can Goguryeo be so easy to destroy, I'm afraid that if you don't destroy Goguryeo, your own country will be finished first, but he still replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, that's right, although it is difficult for the Wa Kingdom to resist the thunderous blow of the Great Sui, but the road is far away, so if you want to add the power of the Great Sui soldiers, I am afraid that it will take time." ”

Yang Guang waved his hand impatiently and turned to Hongluqing Yuan Wendu: "Yuan Honglu, I see that you are in this position, you really have to study more with Pei Aiqing and Wang Aiqing, as you are in charge of the affairs of the four yi, but you don't even know anything about the situation of these barbarians, you are really incompetent!" ”

Yuan Wendu wiped the sweat on his face, lowered his head and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is not familiar with the business, and he is deeply ashamed to have the grace of the saint." ”

Yang Guang nodded: "Yuan Honglu, if the Quartet barbarians present these disrespectful national letters in the future, don't show them to me again, I have enough to worry about state affairs, and I have to suffer from these barbarians." Oh, by the way, Pei Aiqing, Wang Aiqing, as you can see, what is the intention of this Japanese country to present such a national letter at this time? ”

Wang Shichong had already turned around to leave, but when he heard Yang Guang's words, he turned around again, and after he and Pei Shiju glanced at each other, he said: "In my humble opinion, this should be a stone-throwing move by the Japanese State to grasp the movements of my Great Sui before preparing to launch a large-scale military operation against Silla. ”

Yang Guang suddenly became interested: "What did you say?" The Wa Kingdom is ready to fight Silla? ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yes, now the Wa Kingdom and Baekje are allies, and they will not send troops to attack, only Silla can fight." ”

Yang Guang blinked: "Wait a minute, aren't Baekje and Silla allies, how can they watch the Wa Kingdom come to fight Silla?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this alliance between Baekje and Silla is only formed because the two want to jointly deal with the powerful Goguryeo Kingdom in the north, and the pinnacle of the cooperation between the two families should be to join forces with Goguryeo to compete for the Han River Plain, and take advantage of my Great Sui to attack Goguryeo to seize the Han River Plain, but it is precisely because of this action that the alliance between the two families exists in name only." ”

Just like the Sun-Liu alliance back then, in the process of fighting against Cao Cao, Sun Quan made great efforts, but Jingzhou was captured by Liu Bei, and the same was true on the Korean Peninsula, the main force to capture the Han River Plain was the army of Baekje, but Silla occupied most of the territory, so the king of Baekje couldn't swallow this breath, and the relationship with Silla was now very tense, and the Wa State also took a fancy to this, so he would start the idea of attacking Silla under false Baekje. Because it will be very difficult to attack the city from the sea. But it crosses from the plains of land. That would be a lot easier. ”

Yang Guang nodded: "I see, then Wang Shilang, this envoy of the Wa Kingdom came to my Great Sui, did he want to see if our Great Sui would interfere with their actions?" ”

Wang Sechong said with a straight face: "It should be so, Baekje is the springboard and passage from the Wa Kingdom to the Korean Peninsula, and it has maintained a good alliance relationship for many years, but Baekje and Silla are both subordinates of our Dasui, and if our Dasui asks Baekje not to help the Japanese invasion of Silla's military operations." It would be difficult to achieve the invasion of the Wa Kingdom, so the Wa Kingdom has now written such a letter of state, the purpose of which is to put itself in a position where we can be on an equal footing with our Great Sui, and when our Great Sui sends troops to attack Goguryeo in the future, we will have no time to control Silla and Baekje, and when the Wa Kingdom takes the opportunity to send troops to attack Silla, we will not be able to punish them, because the Great Sui has always not sent troops to directly intervene in the battles between vassal states. ”

Yang Guang gritted his teeth: "In this way, the Wa Kingdom also wants to take advantage of the time when we destroy Goguryeo." Sideways kick in the way, huh? ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yiweichen's understanding of the Wa Kingdom is like this. This is a country with a strong aggressive and expansive nature, because it is cramped on a small island, and the only direction that can expand is the Korean Peninsula. Wang Shichong remembered that more than a thousand years later, when he had crossed over to the era, the Wa Kingdom had become a fierce rival of the whole of China, and his expression became extremely stern.

Yang Guang snorted indifferently: "Does the island country dare to compete with the Heavenly Kingdom?" I don't think I can do it, and when I finish cleaning up Goguryeo and then unify the Korean Peninsula, I will definitely clean up this Japanese country next. ”

Pei Shiju, Wang Shichong, and Yuan Wen all said at the same time: "Your Majesty is Shengming." ”

Yang Guang waved his hand: "Okay, you all retreat, Wang Shilang stays, I still have something to tell you." Oh, by the way, Yuan Honglu, that envoy of the Japanese Kingdom is gone, you can arrange for him to go back, give him more property, and let him see the wealth and strength of our Great Sui. ”

Soon there was only one courtier left in the palace, Yang Guang was in a much better mood at this time, and said to Wang Shichong: "Wang Shilang, last time Yu Wenhua and his brothers designed to harm you in Yulin County, what kind of punishment do you want them to get?" ”

Wang Shichong's heart sank suddenly, from Yang Guang's seemingly kind smile, he felt a trace of crisis, maybe Yang Guang was testing himself, if he wanted to kill Yu Wenhua and kill everything, maybe the unlucky one would become himself, his mind quickly recalled the countermeasures he had been thinking about in the past few months, and smiled slightly: "This matter is only wished by His Majesty!" ”

Yang Guang laughed: "Seven or eight months have passed since the arrest of their brothers, and at that time, I did not deal with these two people with national law, there was a comprehensive consideration, Wang Shilang, have you been blaming me for not acting in accordance with national law, and not giving you such a bad breath?" ”

Wang Shichong replied without thinking: "No, Weichen understands my hardships, the law of the country, it is against the common people, and it is not very applicable to the pillar of the country like General Yuwenshu. ”

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed on Yang Guang's face: "Wang Shilang, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, is it a bit too much for you to say such a thing?" The prince breaks the law and sins the same crime as the common people, this is the law of the country. ”

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "It has long been said in the Book of Rites, the punishment is not the doctor, the etiquette is not the Shuren, Your Majesty's sentence just now has never been realized since ancient times, even if the Shengming is like the first emperor, for the several princes who committed the crime of rebellion, there is no killer, like the King of Fangling, the King of Shu and the King of Han, the crimes they committed, and the people of Shu would have been wiped out several times." Isn't that the best way to illustrate that? ”

The corners of Yang Guang's mouth hooked: "But General Yuwen is not a prince, and Yu Wenhua and Yuwen Zhihe committed the big crime of smuggling pig iron to the Turks, which is like a conspiracy. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Your Majesty Mingjian, this time, Yu Wenhua and his brothers did not deliberately collude with the Turks, in order to be unfavorable to His Majesty and the Great Sui, but just out of someone's provocation, and wanted to set up a trick to embezzle Weichen's industry, they want to make money, not His Majesty's world, and this matter has nothing to do with General Yuwen, he is the pillar of the country, and His Majesty is a family, if General Yuwen is held accountable for this matter, I am afraid that it will be a matter of family pain and hatred." ”

Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction: "Wang Shilang, you really have a unique vision, and you can also understand my thoughts, I actually want you to take this breath, and at the same time warn those who try to use power to fight your family property, so the Yuwen brothers have been locked up for so long, for more than half a year, General Yuwen is still dutiful and uncomplaining when he serves as my guard, and after returning to the Eastern Capital, he is also a closed-door guest, and several times he has written to ask for resignation, and also asked for his two sons to be disposed of by national law, and even more, He also sent someone to find his grandson Yuwen Chengdu, who was wandering outside the Saiwai, since the leader of the crime, I saw that General Yuwen also expressed enough remorse, Wang Shilang, your grievances should also dissipate. ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen and General Yuwen have no grudges, Your Majesty's national law is set up in order to consolidate the throne of Your Majesty and deter the people and courtiers, if you do it one by one, it will only destroy the Great Wall, General Yuwen's loyalty is nothing, if you can pardon his two sons, Weichen thinks that not only will the two of them change their minds and be new people, but General Yuwen will definitely be grateful and more loyal to His Majesty." ”

Yang Guang laughed: "Wang Shilang, you are really eloquent, but what about pardon, forget it, there is no big happy event this year, such as the establishment of the queen or the crown prince, so I want to choose another way." ”

Wang Shichong's heart moved slightly, and another perfect plan suddenly came to mind, but he still pretended to be surprised: "Not forgiveness? This is probably the best way to do it. Actually......" he said at this point, and he stopped talking.

Yang Guang said with a smile: "Actually, Wang Aiqing wants to say that many courtiers outside are writing to persuade me to make King Qi the prince, right?" ”

Wang Shichong immediately pretended to have an unusually strict expression: "This, the matter of establishing a prince is a matter of the country, and Weichen will never dare to discuss it." ”

Yang Guang waved his hand: "Okay, Wang Aiqing, I told you a long time ago, I hope that when you talk to me, you can put aside all your scruples, tell the truth, speak straight, and the speaker is not guilty, you have never expressed your opinion on this matter, so I also want to hear your opinion."
