Through the arches and cornices of the palace, through the carved window lattices, the morning sun shines on the floor of the hall, adding a bit of bright color to the main hall. When the new hall was built, it was still like yesterday, but now there is a little more gloomy atmosphere in the hall, just like the old son of heaven always has a little twilight. In Yang Jian's eyes, at the beginning of the founding of the country and the relocation of the capital to this palace, those civil ministers and military generals who followed him have now betrayed him.

He sat high on the gilded and large dragon chair, a golden chair made of brass, and then gilded with a layer of gold on the outside, and the back of the chair was engraved with nine coiling golden dragons. Originally, the chair where the emperor of the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty sat was a wooden chair, which was covered with gold lacquer and carved with a mighty dragon. The gold-lacquered dragon chair and the heirloom jade seal are both symbols of imperial power. After Yang Jian usurped the throne of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he obtained seven seals from the Northern Zhou Palace and sat on the golden dragon chair.

Of the seven emperor's seals, Yang Jian only kept one heirloom jade seal, which was made by Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, and was called the treasure seal of the appointed seal. In fact, this jade seal has been inherited for the longest time and is the most precious, but the emperors of previous dynasties usually did not use this jade seal. This jade seal is stored in the palace, but it is only the seal of the town. In normal times, the emperor used another six seals, three gold seals, and three jade seals. Three jade seals, the emperor's seal is used to seal the princes and the three divisions and the three dukes, and the emperor's seal is used to give the princes three divisions and three dukes. The Emperor's letter seal was used to recruit the world's soldiers. Three golden seals, the seal of the Son of Heaven is used to seal the king of the vassal country. The Son of Heaven is used to give the letter of the king of the vassal state, and the letter seal of the Son of Heaven is used to recruit the troops of the vassal state. This system is straight to the Western Han Dynasty. It was inherited by the later two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties. By the time of the Zhou Dynasty, in fact, there were many changes in the state system, but the emperor's six seals were still in use. The Zhenguo Treasure Seal is hardly used in normal times, but it is the most important credit when inheriting the throne. The new emperor inherited the jade seal of the country and sat on the golden dragon chair, which is a symbol of Zhengshuo.

After Yang Jian established the country and became emperor, he solemnly stored the jade seal of the country in the palace, and abolished the other six seals of the Zhou Dynasty. Another famous craftsman carved the seal of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty in six directions, three gold and three jade. Then after moving into the new capital Daxing Palace, Yang Jian did not move the golden dragon chair, but rebuilt the new dragon chair with craftsmen, made the chair body with brass, and then gilded it with gold to make a real golden dragon chair.

The golden dragon chair is more powerful than the wooden dragon chair, but it is not comfortable to sit on. For many years, Yang Jian has sat on the golden dragon chair almost every day, and only he knows the uncomfortable feeling best. The Golden Dragon Chair was cold, hard, and wide. Although the dragon chair also has a back, there is no place to lean on this wide chair, just like sitting on a hard stone slab. But the reason why Yang Jian gave up the smaller and more comfortable wooden dragon chair at the beginning. And to cast this wide golden dragon chair is to remind yourself that you are not in the right position, and let yourself sit on this dragon chair. Remember this every moment. Tell yourself to be cautious, sitting on the dragon chair though it represents supreme authority. But this position is not stable, a bad one. He could be lifted off the dragon chair.

Now that Yang Jian is getting older and older, he feels more and more uncomfortable sitting on this chair, he wants to rely on it, but the back of the carved dragon chair is too far away, and he can't rely on it at all. This made him feel that being an emperor was the same as sitting on this chair, which seemed to have a solid support, but in fact he couldn't rely on anything, and the only one he could rely on was himself. Wang Shiji deserves to die, Yang Jian thought gloomily, Gao Gong also deserves to die, none of these court meritorious ministers can really be trusted and relied on.

"Can you be sure that this Huangfu Xiaoxiao is not a malicious false accusation?" Sitting at the bottom of the steps under the dragon chair, the princess of Shangshu Lanling and the princess of Lanling, asked questions. In front of him, Shang Shu's left servant shot Gao Gong kneeling on the mat cushion and was a little uneasy, while the right servant shot Yang Su was calm and motionless, sitting there upright, holding a jade wat board in his hand.

Just today, the Son of Heaven played in the imperial history of the Imperial History of the Imperial Observatory, saying that Wang Shiji, the governor of Liangzhou in Shangzhu State, wanted to rebel, and the Son of Heaven ordered Dali Temple to investigate. Yang Yue, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, presided over the case, and jointly handled the case with Yushitai, and soon found a lot of evidence of Wang Shiji's conspiracy, and then Wang Shiji was arrested and imprisoned in Jingshi's own mansion. Dali Temple tried the case quickly, and soon came up with a lot of evidence, among which the most critical witness was naturally the first to report Wang Shiji's filial piety.

This case broke out quickly, and there was no warning in advance, until they were summoned into the Liangyi Palace, Gao Gong, Liu Shu and others did not get the slightest rumor. waited until he saw the Son of Heaven, and then he heard the provincial officials in the palace announce the case. Gao Gong felt that he had been beaten with a dull stick, and his heart was very confused. He also wanted to attack the Jin Wang Party by taking advantage of the Jizhou military horse smuggling case, but he didn't expect that the case was stopped by the emperor, and the election recommendation for the governors of Youzhou Mansion was almost rejected. Now that he turned around, Wang Shiji was quietly convicted and imprisoned, and a sense of powerlessness rose in Gao Gong's heart, and he felt more and more the feeling of being forced to the edge of the cliff.

Gao Gong immediately thought that this matter might not be so simple, maybe it was another Yu Qingze case. Yes, now it seems how similar this case is to the Yu Qingze case the year before last. At the beginning, the Son of Heaven was dissatisfied with Yu Qingze, and the rebellion of the Lingnan barbarians was just a small rebellion, but the emperor reprimanded the right servant for shooting Yu Qingze and did not take the initiative to ask for battle. After forcing Yu Qingze to invite himself to fight in Lingnan, the emperor quickly purged Yu Qingze's forces, and when Yu Qingze had just quelled the rebellion, he was still halfway through, but his wife and brother reported to the Son of Heaven that Yu Qingze was trying to rebel. Then the dignified deputy prime minister Yu Qing was arrested and imprisoned, and was soon tried for a major crime of rebellion and executed.

Now Wang Shiji's case is almost exactly the same as Yu's case, Wang Shiji's cronies will report the boss for rebellion, and they have also put forward so much evidence. This is to put Wang Shiji to death, and Gao Gong has immediately guessed the emperor's intentions. What makes him even more chilling is that Wang Shiji has a good relationship with him, and even Wang Shiji is still a member of the core of the princelings.

"False accusations? Liu Shangshu. Yang Yue, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, spoke contemptuously, "Hmph, the evidence is accurate." It's all out there, you say. Do you want to say that our Dali Temple handled the case unfairly, or do you want to say that we have been beaten into tricks and fabricated charges? ”

Yang Jian felt a tense atmosphere in the hall. At this time, it was not every day, but he only summoned the important ministers in Beijing, the chief officials of the three provinces, the Shangshu of the six departments, and the princes of Shangzhuguo. The hall is obviously divided into three major factions, one faction is the prince's party headed by Gao Gong Liu Shu and others, the other is the Jin king party headed by Yang Su, the king of Jin, and others, and there are many factions such as the king of Han, the king of Shu, the king of Qin, the king of Zhao, etc., who obviously maintain neutrality. For the shape in front of him, Yang Jian had already expected. Since he had the intention of changing the crown prince, the struggle between the court and the Chinese government has escalated, and the struggle between the princelings and the Jin Wang party has become more and more fierce and obvious. The Yan Rong case was provoked by the princelings. Now that this Wang Shiji case is confirmed, it must be the Jin Wang Party's revenge against the princelings behind it. Although Yang Jian could guess this, he still wouldn't let Wang Shiji go, just as he didn't let Yan Rong go. If he dares to betray and threaten himself, he will not let go of any of them. However, there is one thing that he needs to consider, and that is that after these cases break out, the final accusation will be made in what Cheng dù. Sometimes, Yang Jian is even a little happy to see the fierce competition between the two major forces in the DPRK and China, and by virtue of this competition, he is in the top position. Pull one at a time and hit one at a time.

As long as he doesn't get rid of the idea of changing his savings one day, the fight will continue until the time finally comes when he has to make a decision. The crown prince and the king of Jin, one of the two must be abandoned by him in the end. When one of the princes was out. There will be a purge on a huge scale, and the side that is on the wrong side will be purged, and then the court will be able to restore its peace and stability. But that's not the time yet. So he hoped that this kind of struggle would be kept to a minimum.

Yang Jian looked at Yang Yong, "Prince." What do you think should be done about this? ”

The crown prince Yang Yong has been in a state of panic since he heard that Wang Shiji had rebelled. Wang Shiji has been very supportive of him over the years. Not only did he receive a large amount of money from Wang Shiji every year, but even his most trusted secret soldier, the Black Iron Guard, was secretly found by Wang Shiji and provided to him after preliminary training. One of the evidences of Wang Shiji's rebellion just now is that Wang Shiji has been secretly recruiting exiles and training dead soldiers all these years. Yang Yong didn't know if the emperor already knew what Wang Shiji had done for him, and he didn't know what the emperor meant now. The Emperor asked him, but he was still in a state of panic. It was only after Yang Jian called him three times in a row that he finally came back to his senses.

Yang Jian's brows furrowed, his eyes full of disappointment. Of course he knew that Wang Shiji was the prince's person, and of course he knew that Wang Shiji recruited exiles for the prince to train the dead black iron guard for him, which was not too secret in his eyes. After all, the crown prince is the prince of the country, and he pays a lot of attention to him. Yang Jian didn't care too much about the prince secretly training a group of dead soldiers, after all, the prince was the prince, and some private secret forces were allowed, as long as he didn't cross that line. At the moment, he asked the prince about his attitude towards the case, in fact, he wanted to see the prince's ability to deal with things. If the crown prince is smart enough, he should decisively abandon Wang Shiji at this time, instead of being distracted in front of all the important ministers in this hall.

Erchen felt that there might be a misunderstanding in this matter, and the general of Wang Shijiguo said that he was rebelling, but Erchen didn't believe it. The so-called invitation to the Taoist to meet each other, saying that he is the order of the lord of the country, and his wife is the appearance of the queen, that is just the nonsense of the demon Tao. As for his subordinates telling him that Liangzhou sent elite soldiers, it can only be regarded as his subordinates guilty. According to Erchen, Wang Shiji is guilty, but he has no intention of rebelling, he just doesn't know people, and he didn't report to the court in time after encountering demonic nonsense and subordinate nonsense, which is just human nature. Erchen thought that Wang Shiji's demotion and demotion could be punished and admonished to show warning.
