Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Since this is the case, then please ask General Mai to tie me up now, a traitor and thief, and hand it over to Yang Guangfa, probably my head can make you go further, and the official will be the same as the three divisions." β
Mai Tiezhu gritted his teeth: "Xingman, who do you think of me?" Although I am loyal to the Great Sui and the Supreme, I also know how to repay you, you are my guide, you saved me several times back then, and also shared my great military merits, how can I betray you to get glory and wealth? β
Wang Shichong sneered: "But if you don't report me and expose me, aren't you disloyal to the Great Sui?" β
Mai Tiezhu's eyes flashed: "You don't have a specific rebellion now, at most, you just follow Yang Xuangan and them secretly collude and plot against you." As a friend, I finally advise you, stop now, it's still too late, you don't know the strength of the Great Sui, even if your Wang Xingman's talent is outstanding, no matter how brave and good Yang Xuangan is, it is impossible to be an enemy of this powerful empire. β
Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Of course not now, when Yang Guang makes the world in chaos, the people's hearts are lost, and thieves swarm from all over the country, when the generals who lead the army to quell the rebellion will know that the destiny of heaven has been moved, and at that time they will secretly divide themselves and stand on their own, iron rod, do you want to choose to finish with Yang Guang, or do you want to see the opportunity again and be the founding hero of the new dynasty?" β
Mai Tiezhu said in a deep voice: "This qiΔ is just your speculation. Not a fact. I don't believe it, with the national strength and military strength of the Great Sui. Manpower, fight Goguryeo, dig a canal and destroy the country. β
Wang Shichong raised his eyebrows: "Then wait and see, speak with facts, iron rod, I have always been a businessman, and my biggest ability is to see the right time." When the time is not right, I will never make a move. So I have never talked to you about these things, and since you took the initiative to come to me today, I might as well tell you about this matter, Yang Guang is not in the right position. It is necessary to fight foreign wars to appease the Guanlong nobles, he has not really stayed at the grassroots level, nor does he understand the suffering of the people, the current situation of the country, if a person with real intelligence is normal and knows the shape of the world, he will definitely not be crazy enough to let more than five million servants in Hebei dig the Yongji Canal and iron rod within a year, believe it or not. Before the Goguryeo conquest, the people of Hebei would already flee in large numbers and enter the mountains and forests to become bandits! β
Mai Tiecane said sharply: "There have been bandits in all dynasties. Even the wise emperor did not put an end to such a thing, and the emperor had also implemented the decree that he would be killed if he stole a penny, and as a result, some bandits openly robbed the law field, and the emperor couldn't do anything about them? Such a decree was later repealed. How do you know that the Supreme will go all the way to the dark and will not change as the situation changes? β
Wang Shichong's eyes flashed. He said in a deep voice: "The first emperor knew that his mistakes could be corrected because he had loyal ministers like Gao Ying by his side. Can he speak to him, and he can listen to such advice? But what about Yang Guang's side? From Yuwen to Yu Shiji, who is a good person? And who would give him advice to him for the sake of state affairs? How did Gao Ying die a while ago, don't you know? β
The corners of Mai Tiecan's mouth twitched violently a few times, and Wang Shichong's words hit the biggest scar in his heart, leaving him speechless, and even realizing that so many of his justifications for Yang Guang just now were so pale and powerless.
Wang Shichong saw that Mai Tiecane moved himself, and then said: "Tiecane, I still say the same thing, I won't force you, but you also have to see the shape clearly, don't go to the end, and make a funeral offering with the one-man thief, even in the history books, it will only leave a reputation for eternity." β
Mai Tiezhu said unwillingly: "No, the loyal ministers and good generals of the past dynasties have a good reputation in history, and traitors and thieves will be stinking for 10,000 years. β
Wang Shichong sneered: "Good reputation? For Zhang Han, who fought to the end for the Qin Dynasty, what good reputation did Wang Li and his ilk have? Not to mention, it is the last loyal minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty before the establishment of the Great Sui Dynasty, Wei Chi Yuan, not only died himself, but also the image of a traitor in the history books, so far the people in Hebei mention him and everyone scolds him, are you willing to be the second Wei Chi Yuan? β
Mai Tiezhu choked on a rebuttal and couldn't say a word, his eyes were red, and he stared at Wang Shichong tightly: "Xingman, needless to say, I won't believe you if you say it's broken, but I will never report you in our old friendship, you are so self-conscious, but once you really have a rebellion, I will never let you go!" Today is the last conversation between you and my brother on this matter, and from now on, you and I will break off our relationship, and we will have nothing to do with each other! β
After Mai Tiezhu said this, he turned his horse's head and galloped in the direction of the camp, Wang Shichong looked at his departing back, sighed softly, and ran in the direction of another camp.
Inside the imperial tent, Yang Guang was dressed in a tight-fitting dragon robe, his brows were deeply locked, and he was pacing back and forth in the tent, while Xiao Meiniang was sitting on a Hu bed, her brows twisted slightly, watching her husband walk around like a sleepy beast.
Finally, Yang Guang stopped, panting in his nose, Xiao Meiniang sighed: "Your Majesty, Ah Child, he is a young man, young and ignorant, and he will do that kind of thing on a whim, don't take it to heart, if you are angry with the dragon body, what should the concubine do!" β
The muscles on Yang Guang's face were jumping: "Queen, is this the good son you taught?" After Ah Zhao's death, I cared about my flesh and blood affection, and tolerated him in many ways, knowing that he was bullying men and women in the Eastern Capital, but I still gave him an official and a knight, and even the former prince's East Palace guards were all handed over to him to command, but how did this kid repay his father? Hmph, when I was hunting today, I asked his people to drive all the birds and beasts in the entire Lishan to him, so that I didn't catch a single rabbit for a day, and then this kid came over with a few carts of prey, saying what Jin offered to me! He just wants to be ugly in front of the ministers and generals. Do you show his might? Aha, I'm not as good at hunting and fighting as he is! β
Xiao Meiniang was secretly happy in her heart, it seems that there is finally a good time to shake out the black materials collected by Yang Cambodia during this time. Knowing that a husband is like a wife, Yang Guang will lose his only remaining judgment in this situation of being angry because of jealousy, and as long as the Yang clan is in turmoil, it can greatly increase the success rate of raising troops in the future.
Xiao Meiniang's face flashed with a hint of panic, she gritted her teeth and suddenly knelt down. He cried to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, it's all the fault of the concubine." neglected to discipline Ah Zi, which made him so presumptuous now, and asked His Majesty to punish the concubines! β
Yang Guang said hatefully: "There have always been people admonishing, saying that Ah Zi took advantage of my absence in the Eastern Capital. It's a miasma, I also heard that he actually accepted congratulations and bribes from the civil and military officials who stayed in the eastern capital, hmph, what does he want to do? β
Xiao Meiniang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not be angry, these, these are just the reasons why Ah Zi is young and ignorant, and the people around him have not advised him." As long as. As long as you can choose some mentors and friends to assist Ah Zi, you will definitely be able to make him better. β
Yang Guang thought of what Wang Shichong said to him last time, and now it is being fulfilled step by step. Angry, he didn't fight in one place, and said angrily: "Has he changed well?" Empress, because I am responsible for the world, since I ascended the throne, I have been patrolling the Quartet non-stop, but I have handed over the eastern capital to him to manage. On the one hand, it is because Ah Zi is now my only adult son (Yang Guang gave birth to Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, with his concubine in the second year of Daye, and is now only two years old). On the other hand, I also want to train him to see if he can support the country. But what did this kid do while I wasn't there? Those things that are rampant and domineering in the eastern capital and bully men and women, don't you know about the queen at all? It's not you or who is used to making him what he is today?! β
Yang Guang was really angry today, his originally white face was flushed, his eyes were wide open, his nose was panting, he was like an angry bull, even his fingers were shaking, Queen Xiao's heart was like a mirror, he was already angry, she was still a little hesitant just now, after all, Yang Cambodia was also her own son, after Yang Zhao's death, although this son was stubborn, but she was also born in October, how could she be so willing to harm her, which is why she has not reported Yang Cambodia in accordance with the agreement with Wang Shichong for half a year, But looking at Yang Guang's posture today, if he doesn't show himself now, I'm afraid that it will end with Yang Khan.
Gritting her teeth, Xiao Meiniang cried and said: "Supreme, it's all the fault of the concubine, the concubine, the concubine is now left with a son like Ah Child, so, knowing that he has some sins, I can't bear it, I can't bear to punish him heavily, but I help him hide it from His Majesty, and please punish His Majesty, Majesty, Majesty, Ah Child, he is young and ignorant, you can punish me as a mother!" β
Yang Guang's eyes were about to erupt with fire, he only felt a burst of dizziness, he didn't expect that Empress Xiao had really been helping that unsuccessful thing to deceive herself, he was only half-convinced of Wang Shichong's words, but now he had already believed most of it, he turned around and walked to the side of the imperial case, picked up a large bowl of iced black plum juice, and drank it directly, and the cold feeling suddenly passed from his throat to his stomach, which made his head, which was so hot that it was about to explode just now, finally sober up a little, Yang Guang, who was still unsatisfied, picked up an ice kettle on the case, and poured himself three bowls of iced black plum soup in a row, which could be regarded as returning to normalcy.
Xiao Meiniang secretly looked up at Yang Guang's actions on the ground, since he had that wishful car, Yang Guang had to be fortunate every day, as little as three or five, and more than ten girls, but even if he didn't have to arch back and forth by himself, after all, he couldn't withstand such a high-intensity consumption with manpower, and Yang Guang was not the kind of person who was physically strong and could control all the women at night, and the reason why he could still stand here now was because of two or three red pills a day.
Since the death of Fang Shi Zhang Qiu Taiyi, who served two generations of Sui Emperors, another Songshan Taoist who claimed to have lived for three hundred years Pan Dan entered the palace and refined these spring-medicine red-pills for Yang Guang full-time, but Yang Guang ate these fiery pills every day, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't even pull out his stool, until he offered this secret recipe and let him drink chilled black plum soup every day to detoxify and remove fire, he only slightly returned to some normality, and now he can't do without dozens of cups of chilled black plum soup every day, even the three thousand harem beauties, They all regard this iced drink as the number one item they must have, and they are by their side all day long, hoping to rely on this to make Yang Guang pamper themselves.
As Yang Guang's complexion returned to normal, Xiao Meiniang also made the final decision, she was crying on the ground, putting on a pitiful appearance, Yang Guang saw her like this, and sighed: "Queen, get up, if you have anything to say, sit down and talk about it." β
After Xiao Meiniang thanked her, she slowly stood up from the ground, moved her lotus steps lightly, walked to Yang Guang's side, lowered her head, and said softly: "Your Majesty, before the concubine says this, please also promise the concubine, no matter what you hear, you must calm your anger and take care of the dragon body!" β
The corners of Yang Guang's mouth hooked, and he helped Xiao Meiniang to sit down, with a smile on his face: "I was too excited just now, don't worry, don't worry, if there is anything, you can say it slowly, I will definitely not blame you." β
Xiao Meiniang wiped her tears and said cautiously: "Actually, in fact, Ah Child, this child, is all taught bad by that Wei slut, his nature is still very pure, and he is very loyal to Your Majesty, you must not blame Ah Child!" β
Yang Guang was slightly stunned: "Webster? Do you mean Ah Child's wife, didn't she die two years ago? How else do you teach bad children? β
Xiao Meiniang gritted her teeth and said: "It's not Ah Child's Yuan with Wei Peony, but Wei Peony's sister Wei Qingxuan, she was originally married to Yuan Xiaoju's grandson Yuan Ping, but Yuan Ping died early, she became a widow, this woman is a prodigal woman, in the past in the name of visiting her sister's illness, she has been in and out of Ah Child's house many times, and as a result, she came and went, hooked up and became adulterous, and even Wei Peony was angry with her sister!" β
Yang Guang was so angry that he smashed the cup in his hand to the ground, but fortunately this was a wild field, and there was a thick blanket on the grass, so he didn't break this precious jade cup: "Why is this matter, I never knew!" β
Xiao Meiniang wept and said: "Your Majesty, it's all the concubine's fault, at that time, Your Majesty was busy with national affairs, and the concubine didn't know the danger of this matter, so she didn't dare to speak out, but after reprimanding Ah Zi heavily, he said that he would no longer have dealings with Wei Qingxuan, and the concubine believed Ah Zi, so he didn't pursue it again, thinking that he could change it, but it was ............."
Yang Guang said sharply: "But what? Queen, if you have anything to say today, you must make it clear to me today, and you must not hide a word! (To be continued)
