Gao Gong had mixed feelings in his heart, and it was difficult to accept this result, he wanted to object, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped again. He saw the undoubted in the emperor's eyes, which was rarely seen in the more than ten years that their monarchs and ministers had been together. At this time, he immediately thought of the anomaly of the emperor's promotion of the Great Governor's Mansion of Youzhou to the Governor's Prefecture except for the Sanfan Governor's Prefecture. He didn't care about it for a while, but now he suddenly thought of something.

After the establishment of the Great Sui Dynasty, the system of three provinces and six ministries was implemented, and the emperor and the prime ministers ruled the world together. The appointment of officials above the fifth rank and below the third rank shall be attributed to the three provinces. As for the appointment of officials above the three provinces, it has always been decided by the emperor. There are three grades in the history of the state thorn, three grades in the history of the state thorn, three grades in the history of the middle state, and four grades in the history of the lower state. Under normal circumstances, the appointment of the state assassin is nominated by the Ministry of Officials, and the appointment is decided by the three provinces. And now that the emperor has directly promoted all the states of Youzhou Mansion to the governor-general state, then the governors of each state will concurrently serve as the governor-general, and their level has directly entered the ranks of the three products. Such a seemingly small change is equivalent to the appointment of these governors in the hands of the emperor. Even if he is the prime minister at the head of a hundred officials, the appointment of these governors is only one power.

The emperor came prepared. Gao Gong quickly figured out the cause and effect, he knew that he had no doubt in this matter, or that the emperor did not intend to let him interfere at all. He felt a pang of sorrow. As the prime minister of the Son of Heaven for more than ten years, I didn't expect it. Now he is abandoned by the Son of Heaven. If the Son of Heaven really wants to appoint those people, he only needs one sentence. It didn't have to be designed like this, he would still agree with the emperor. But now, the emperor used such means against him, which made him feel a chill in his heart. As the prime minister of the emperor, but the emperor is so distrusted, what is the point of him continuing to stay in this position, or rather, can he continue to stay in this position?

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he felt that he had been tricked by the emperor, Gao Gong would not be unacceptable to this list. Just a glance. He actually understood the meaning of the list. This is not a list recommended by the crown prince, nor is it a list recommended by him, let alone a list recommended by Yang Su, King Jin and King Han. The core meaning of this list is one, that is, these new managers can actually be regarded as King Zhao's people. In the past, they may not have been, but they were more or less related to King Zhao, and the emperor asked them to serve as the governor under King Zhao, which was undoubtedly gathering strength for King Zhao. Although the result was not as he had hoped, the Tong Guò Yanrong case took away the Youzhou Mansion from the Jin king, and installed the prince's party in this newly established area. But now the results. It is also within the acceptable range. After all, isn't King Zhao the eldest son of the crown prince? Now that King Zhao has become the chief governor, the ten governors below are not from the King of Jin and the King of Han, even if they were not princelings. Now even if they are King Zhao's party, then King Zhao is still the son of the prince, and this Zhao Wang party can also be regarded as a princeling.

Gao Gong comforted himself in his heart. This is not the worst possible outcome.

"Jizhou seized the case of smuggling military horses, and I have ordered Dali Temple to take over the investigation. At present, Dali Temple has ascertained that Yu Wenzhi and the mastermind of this matter. However, Yuwenshu was not involved. I have ordered the arrest of Yuwen Zhiji, and cut Yuwen Shufu for one year, and demoted him to one rank. The 1,000 military horses seized in Jizhou were ordered to be returned to King Zhao, and this matter ended here. The emperor's words once again deeply hit Gao Gong. He worked hard to plan and prepared to use the military horse smuggling case as a breakthrough to launch a new wave of attacks on the Jin Dynasty, but it was silently shattered by the emperor. With the emperor's words, the case is over.

"Obey the order!" Gao Gong bitterly spit out these three words, bowed and retreated.

Looking at the background of Gao Gong's departure, Emperor Yang Jian let out a long sigh, reached out to the table and picked up another book. It was a secret fold submitted by Yang Yue, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and reported that the king of Shangzhu, Shiji's personal guard, and the general Huangfu Xiao, told Wang Shiji that he was secretly planning to rebel and intend to rebel. Huangfu Xiaohong cited two pieces of evidence, one is that after Wang Shiji participated in the Battle of Pingchen, he invited a very famous Taoist priest in Jiangnan to meet him and ask about his future wealth. The Taoist priest said that the prince should be the lord of the country, and said to his wife that the wife should be the queen, and Wang Shiji was overjoyed to reward the Taoist priest. And last year, when the emperor of the Eastern Expedition was defeated and appointed him as the governor of Liangzhou, he said that he was sick and refused to go, and later the emperor found out that he was pretending to be sick and sent him to Liangzhou with 700 guards. After taking office, Wang Shiji's cronies told him that Hexi was the best soldier in the world, and he could do great things. Wang Shiji replied that Liangzhou was sparsely populated and not a country of force. In addition, this Wang Shiji's cronies also reported that this time Wang Shiji entered the court, he brought four sweat-and-blood horses that he forcibly seized from a wealthy merchant in Liangzhou, one for his own use, and the other three were given to Yuan Min, the general of the left guard, Yuan Guan, the general of the right guard, and Gao Gong, the left servant. Huangfu Xiaohuan also reported to Dali Temple that after the emperor replaced Zhou, Wang Shiji once said to Gao Gong, the courtiers of our generation are all Zhou, and the society has been destroyed, what is it? And Gao Gong did not refute after hearing this, nor did he play.

Yang Yue's recital also mentioned that Huangfu Xiaohuan reported Wang Shiji's many illegal things, including corruption and bribery, lending and collecting profits, seizing land and property, and many other things.

For these, Yang Jian didn't care too much. Wang Shiji, as a member of the Shangzhu State, several famous generals, greed and bribery cannot be the reason for disposing of him, for the emperor, after the officials reach a certain level, these are not important issues, the most important thing is their loyalty. As long as you are faithful, then greed and bribery will not be a problem as long as it is within certain limits. And if he can't be loyal, no matter how talented he is, he will not be able to be honest and fair, then he will not be tolerated by the emperor.

And Wang Shiji is now guilty of both.

What Yang Jian absolutely can't tolerate is that his courtiers have two hearts, not to mention that Wang Shiji is still a major general of the dynasty. Yang Yue played on the chapter, for the emperor's filial piety and filial piety to report Wang Shiji, Dali Temple after many investigations. It has been proved that what Huangfu Xiaohuan said about Wang Shiji's invitation to the Taoist priest and what he said to his subordinates when he was in Liangzhou are all true, and there are witnesses to prove it. And Wang Shiji's gift to Yuan Min, Yuan Guan, and Gao Gong is also true. As for whether Wang Shiji once said to Gao Gong what the courtiers of our generation were all about, it is impossible to verify for the time being. However, Wang Shiji does have a close relationship with Gao Gong. There is often an exchange of gifts. Wang Shiji's bribery, lending, seizing land, occupying property, and other things are also true.

Yang Jian stared coldly at this recital, he believed that Yang Yue would not deceive himself. And he has already sent another person to verify that Yang Yue's report on the emperor's filial piety is basically true. Wang Shiji deserves to die, he has already condemned Wang Shiji to death in his heart, and he can be executed at any time with these definite evidence. But what makes Yang Jian still hesitant now is this matter, whether to only deal with Wang Shiji, or simply complete a big case like the Yan Rong case. He actually wanted to make this case a big one. There's a purge and put the damned ones to death. However, the matter has already involved several important people, in addition to the generals of the left and right guards, Gao Gong has also been implicated, and a large number of important ministers of the prince's family have been involved. Yang Jian has realized that behind the Wang Shiji case, I am afraid it is not so simple. Under the surface of this case, I am afraid that it will be another battle between the princes.

Gao Gong, Gao Gong, Yang Jian sighed. Finally shook his head. At this time, he couldn't take Gao Gong, or even Yuanmin Yuanzhou. Although they should all be taken, they have just undergone the purge of the Yan Rong case, if they come to the purge again. I'm afraid that the court will be in chaos. This is extremely detrimental to the upcoming war in the north, and may even make things get out of control. For the sake of the Northern Expedition, he had to control this matter first.

Let's put it in for now. But Yang Jian has become more and more disgusted with the prime minister he has trusted for more than ten years. He secretly said in his heart, waiting for the day when the Turkic news of the Northern Expedition came. It was when he was relieved of the high sage.

"Someone, summon Yang Yue, the young master of Dali Temple, to enter the palace immediately to meet him!" Yang Jian said to the eunuch who stepped forward to listen to the order. Gao Gong can not move for the time being. But Wang Shiji must be dealt with immediately.

When Yi Feng left the Ganlu Palace, he pulled Li Yuan and Yang Yichen aside, and said to the two of them with a smile: "Reveal a good news to the two of you, Tang Guogong will soon become the governor of Yizhou, and Qin Xinggong will become the governor of Danzhou." ”

Li Yuan and Yang Yichen were both overjoyed when they heard this, and then said with some disbelief, "King Zhao is going to make us happy." Li Yuan said, "Now I am just a six-grade Qianniu and a guard, if His Royal Highness says that I will become a town general, I believe it, but I can become the chief assassin of the history, I can't believe it." Yang Yichen also nodded again and again, although both of them hoped that this was true. As a member of the Guanlong aristocracy, they all inherit the exploits laid down by their fathers, but in their hearts they are extremely eager to go out of the town, lead the soldiers and horses, do a vigorous career, glorify the lintel, and make contributions.

"I have told you the good news, and it is up to you to believe it or not, but whether you believe it or not, this thing is out of my mouth and into your ears, but no fourth person will know about it." After speaking, Yi Feng laughed and turned to leave, leaving only Li Yuan and Yang Yichen, who looked at each other.

"It seems that this should be true." Yang Yichen whispered.

"Perhaps." Li Yuan nodded, and he had already believed in this matter for eight or nine points in his heart. Thinking that he would soon become the governor of Yizhou, Li Yuan's heart couldn't help but get excited. is finally about to leave this palace, and he no longer has to wear this thousand-cow knife all day long, holding the title of Duke of Tang Kingdom passed down from his father, but he can only act as a guard, he can go to make contributions.

After Yi Feng left the palace and returned to the palace, Chen Wan talked about Yuwen Yubo while making tea for Yi Feng.

"What are your Royal Highness's plans, do you really want to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, that is a princess of the county, and it is impossible to be a concubine for Your Highness." Chen Wan was making tea on the one hand, and said to Yi Feng on the other, "I'm afraid you don't know yet, now the princess of Guangping's mansion is in chaos, and the princess has sent people to look for her daughter everywhere. The Prince's Mansion and the Jin Palace's Mansion also sent people to look for it together. This matter has now become a joke in Beijing, there is everything, what the king of Changning and the second king of Henan are fighting for a county lord, and there is also a rumor that the county lord eloped with the horseman in the house, and there is even a rumor that the county lord was hidden by the king of Zhao's golden house. ”

"Oh, so someone already knows that the county lord is in our mansion." Yi Feng frowned and said, "It looks like trouble is coming." ”

"Isn't it time to send the county lord back, just play around, if you really want people to come to the door, it won't look good then."

"That's up to her, since I let her stay, then I can't drive her away now." Yi Feng shook his head.

Yi Feng actually admires Yuwen Yubo, who was born in such a wealthy family, but he still dares to fight hard for his love and freedom. And for the sake of other things, he gave up his emotional purity and persistence, and compromised.

"Well, I'll go see her, and you can spend more time with her, I guess she won't feel good during this time." After Yi Feng finished speaking, he got up and went to the plum garden.

Chen Wan watched Yi Feng go away, picked up the hot tea that had just been brewed for Yi Feng but had not yet had time to take a sip, and tasted it slowly. Princess Lechang came out of the house at this time, and said to her with a smile: "Girl, do you know that Yuwen Yubo's ghost woman is not as simple as it seems, and she is here, I'm afraid it won't be easy to let her go again." But at this time, you still say such things, you really don't think things are messy enough. ”

Chen Wan smiled at her aunt: "So what, anyway, I'm just a four-room person, not even a Zhao Wangwan, just a Zhao Wangmei." If Yuwen Yubo really wants to stay here and not leave, how much does it matter to me? The one who is really anxious should be the princess of Heyin County in the Xiangguo Princess's mansion. ”

Princess Lechang was a little distressed: "You stupid girl, how can you think like this." Ling Yun is an excellent man, there will naturally be more men and women like this, but no matter what, are you really willing to have more women to share men with you? You've got to find a way to enclose your territory and fence yourself. ”

Chen Wan shook her head and chuckled: "How could a hero like King Zhao be bound by a woman in the back house?" ”

"But you can't push him into the arms of another woman."

"Even if I don't push it, others will get entangled in it themselves." Chen Wan poured a cup of tea for Princess Lechang and handed it over.

"You're talking about the Red Whisk?" Princess Lechang said with some embarrassment. Hongfu was originally a child she met when she was in Yang Su's mansion, and she was also from Nanchen. This time when she returned to Daxing, Hongfu came over to see her a few times, and she liked this child more and more. even recognized her as a goddaughter, which was originally a good thing. At first, Princess Lechang was very happy, but soon she found that something was not quite right, Red Whisk came too often, and every time she came, she always had to find Ling Yun under the pretext of an excuse. No matter what she does, she finds that she is tired of it.

"I'm sorry for you for this." Princess Lechang sighed.

"Auntie, don't say that, there will be Li Chuchen without Zhang Chuchen, what is there to be surprised about this. However, it is a little rare to be as bold and unrestrained as Red Whisk, and the Lord of Yuwen is much worse than Red Whisk in this regard. I'm kind of funny right now, I wonder which of these two will get ahead of the curve? Chen Wan said with some playfulness. Princess Lechang saw Chen Wan so heartless, and sighed. Since she doesn't care anymore, what does she have to say.
