Wang Shichong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the formulation of this emperor law has always been aimed at middle and lower-level officials, not high-ranking officials and dignitaries, Your Majesty is to share the world with the big families, these families originally occupied a lot of land in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but in order to support the first emperor and obey the Juntian order of the country, he handed over these lands to the state, and limited the number of his slaves, so the first emperor also made some compensation to these big families, and to some extent allowed some of their greedy behavior to appease. ”

The corners of Yang Guang's mouth gradually hooked, every time no matter who it was, when Yang Jian was mentioned, he was always uncomfortable, Wang Shichong looked at his face, and when he stopped, he changed his words and continued: "Your Majesty is naturally a genius, but you moved the capital from Daxing to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and reused the literati in the south of the Yangtze River, these northern families are already dissatisfied, if you forcibly punish Zhang Heng and ask for his life, I am afraid that these people will be in danger of themselves, and they will be fearful, and then provoked by some people with ulterior motives, it will endanger Your Majesty's rule!" ”

Yang Guang snorted heavily: "Who doesn't want to live dares to do this!" Aren't you afraid that I will destroy his people?! ”

Wang Shichong hurriedly changed his shocked expression, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Wei Chen doesn't choose his words, capital crime, capital crime!" ”

Yang Guang took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, stretched out his hand to help Wang Shichong, and said, "Wang Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, I know your loyalty." You are the only one who is willing to say these things to me now, and I will not blame you for this. ”

His brows were still tightly furrowed, and he said, "Then according to you, to Zhang Heng." What should I do? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Wait until the construction of the Jiangdu Palace is completed." gave him a golden purple Guanglu doctor (a fictitious position set up after Yang Guang ascended the throne. There are two kinds of doctors, Jin Ziguanglu and Yinqing Guanglu, which are high-level positions, and they are subordinate to the first grade, but they have no real power), so that Zhang Heng can go home to retire, and at the same time closely monitor his words and deeds, if he is dissatisfied with His Majesty, or secretly colludes with the officials of the family. and punish him for treason! ”

Yang Guang's brows stretched suddenly, and he said with a smile: "Wang Aiqing, you still have a way, okay, very good, just do what you say." ”

Wang Shichong had a humble smile on his face: "It's Your Majesty's Holy Ming, and Weichen is just aware of the Holy Will and has a little idea, as for whether to use it or not, it all depends on Your Majesty's Holy Judgment." ”

Yang Guang laughed: "Okay." Wang Aiqing, you rushed back thousands of miles from Jiangdu. It's been hard along the way, I still have to discuss the battle plan with General Yuwen and General Yu, you go and rest first, oh, by the way, Shen Guang also wants you to persuade him, this kid I really like it, I am reluctant to let him go to the front line, and there is a wheat iron cane, you haven't seen him for a long time, it's good to talk to old friends, let him be a pioneer, but also fight steadily, don't take the enemy lightly, I don't want him to be in any danger! ”

Wang Shichong saluted and said, "Obey the holy order!" ”

Half an hour later, on a small high slope next to the platform, Wang Shichong was still dressed just now, and Shen Guang stood on the slope, the cold wind in the north was blowing Wang Shichong's beard, and Shen Guang still looked sullen, according to the Qianniu Treasure Knife on his waist (the emperor's guards are to be issued with a horizontal knife, and the Qianniu Treasure Knife is made of 100 refined steel, it is said that it can slaughter thousands of cattle and can still be used, so it is called Qianniu Knife, and the person holding the knife is also called Qianniu Wei), standing on the side, kicking the small clods on the ground from time to time.

Wang Shichong smiled slightly, turned his head, pointed to the spectacular military formation that was marching in front of him, and there was no end in sight, and said, "Shen Guang, do you really want to follow them immediately and go to the front line?" ”

Shen Guang said angrily: "Wang Shilang, you have entertained Shen again, knowing that Your Majesty will not let me go to the Goguryeo front, and still say such things, is it really good?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head and said with a smile: "But the battle array is dangerous, a few people have been fighting in ancient times, even if you have strong martial arts, it is difficult to say that you can be foolproof, Goguryeo is a strong enemy, this time our army is deep into the enemy country, and there are many crises, so Your Majesty is reluctant to take risks, this is also human nature." ”

Shen Guang gritted his teeth, pointed to those soldiers of the Sui Army who were in high morale and singing loud military songs all the way, and said, "Don't these soldiers take risks?" Yes, they took risks, but there is also the possibility and hope of meritorious service, Shen Mou traveled thousands of miles to leave his hometown to join the army, just to seek wealth and danger, and to make a name for himself on the battlefield, but he didn't want to stay away from the battlefield, just eat by His Majesty's side, if so, what else did Shen do here? Stay at home! Speaking of this, he flew up with a fierce kick, kicking a piece of dirt under his feet more than ten feet away, and it was torn apart in the air and wiped out.

Wang Shichong smiled and patted Shen Guang's shoulder: "Brother Shen, you are too anxious, who said that following Your Majesty will have no military merits?" This time, Your Majesty is also going to recruit in person, and you are not without a fight! ”

Shen Guang shook his head: "Wang Shilang, don't persuade me, Shen is not a three-year-old child, I know very well this battle, my Great Sui soldiers are brave and brave, morale is high, although Goguryeo is not weak, but it is difficult for me to strike a thunderous blow to the million-strong army of the Great Sui, and when the imperial camp arrives at the front, the battle has already been over, we here, at most, play the role of an honor guard, and see other people's meritorious service!" ”

Wang Shichong put away his smile and sighed softly: "Brother Shen, you and I met in Daxing, I saw it at first sight, I Wang Shichong have eaten more than ten years more than you, relying on this, relying on the old man and calling you brother, I really regard you as a brother, so I talked to you today, not because of His Majesty's will, I want me to appease you, but I really regard you as a brother, a friend, and I want to chat with you." This time the expedition to Goguryeo will not be as smooth as you imagined, even Your Majesty, I am afraid that you will also go to the battlefield in person, brave the rain of arrows and arrows, and then it will be time for you to stand up and protect the Lord and make contributions! ”

Shen Guang gasped: "How can this be?" Could it be that Goguryeo still has the ability to fight against the heavenly soldiers of the Great Sui? And just now I listened to Wang Shilang's analysis from the Supreme, isn't it that Goguryeo is also full of internal contradictions and can't form a joint force to deal with us? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "The army is about to go on the march, I can't say something that shakes the heart of the army, although Your Majesty is wise, but after all, there are few battles, some things are difficult for him to understand now, and we can't speak, but as a courtier, I must say to you, no matter when, your duty is to protect Your Majesty, share your worries for Your Majesty, don't always think about your own achievements!"
