Luoyang Imperial Palace.

Yang Guanggao sat on the throne, his face gloomy, he looked at the ministers below, listened to their chatter, and remained silent.

?? Wang Shichong hung his head and didn't look at the emperor's face, but he knew very well in his heart that the emperor's face must be ugly.

But he didn't vomit or be unhappy: "Your Majesty, you are the master of the world, and the Yang family is orthodox." You want to calm the war and give the people a peaceful and peaceful day, which is understandable, and the people are grateful to you, and we are grateful to you.

"But you can't give up because of this.

"It's okay if you want a Zen position, we don't object to it, but since it's fair competition, then we Dasui also want to participate in the election."

"That's right." The ministers who supported Wang Shichong echoed him.

"I am full of talents in the Great Sui, and I have never lost in front of others, since I want to choose, I can also choose from Luoyang. As long as we win the competition, those rebels will have nothing to say, and the people of the world will no longer betray Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you are still the co-lord of the world, and the Sui Dynasty has been in the country for thousands of generations. ”

"At that time, if Li Mi and others provoke another war, it will be morally untenable, and they will definitely be spurned by the whole world, and no one will serve those rebels."

?? Yang Guang listened quietly to the ministers before he said quietly: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, retreat from the court." ”

?? Everyone looked at each other, feeling that what they had just said was in vain, and the emperor had not listened to a word.

?? Out of the palace, Wang Shichong said angrily: "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, how can you give the country to others?" That was the Sui Dynasty, and it was also fought by our hard work.

"If it weren't for us soldiers who expanded the territory and guarded the capital, how could he sit on the throne safely now?"

?? Hearing this, the official next to him was shocked, and hurriedly looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to this side, he was relieved, and reminded in a low voice: "The general is cautious, there are many ears and eyes around, in case it reaches His Majesty's ears, this is a great crime of disrespect." ”

"Afraid of what?" Wang Shichong said a word, but did not mention what happened just now.

?? Back in the house, Wang Shi poured a pot of herbal tea angrily, but he still couldn't extinguish the anger in his heart, and slapped his palm on the desk: "Damn, I won't stop there." ”

The Sui Dynasty is going to end, and he can't finish it......

"Someone's coming."

The henchman walked in: "What does the master command?" ”

Wang Shichong said in a deep voice: "Go and ask me Sima Dejiao, Pei Qiantong, Duan Da, Pei Yun ......"

He said a long list of names, and then emphatically said, "Tell them that I have urgent matters to consult with them, and let them come to me immediately." ”

The henchman immediately ordered his men to go to the mansions, and he went to the Sima Mansion himself.

?? Three hours later, everyone gathered in Wang Shichong's study.

?? Wang Shichong was not verbose, and went straight to the point: "You are all ministers of the Great Sui, the Sui Dynasty is inseparable from your contributions today, and the Great Sui is in trouble today, please lend a hand." ”

?? Pei Yun was puzzled: "Why did the general say this?" Your Majesty has decreed that the world will choose the best and the most capable, and when the time comes, the world will be stable, and the war will be subsided......"

??“ Hehe~"

?? Yuan Min sneered and interrupted him: "The world is stable? The war subsided? Oh, how can those who start a rebellion be the ones who are divided? I'm afraid that the co-owner of the world who was finally elected will not be convinced. ”

"Hmph, they have to obey if they don't accept it, whoever makes them inferior in skills, if they provoke another war, I'm afraid the soldiers under them will not agree, after all, the people are eager for peace. When the time comes, the soldiers will be separated from them, how will they still start a war? Nature is self-defeating. Pei Yun retorted.

"That might be." Won Min still insisted on his own ideas.

?? Pei Yun opened his mouth to fight back, but was interrupted by Wang Shichong.

??“ Enough, now is not the time to argue about this, if everyone knows that His Majesty wants to Zen today, the feast of the Shangsi Festival is a foregone conclusion, no matter how things will develop in the future, the top priority we need to solve is to keep the Great Sui Sheji. ”

?? Duan Da tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Now Your Majesty doesn't want to be the emperor himself, and he wants to give the country to others, what's the use of us being in a hurry here as courtiers?" ”

?? Wang Shichong lowered his face, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he glanced at everyone one by one, "Have you ever thought about it, if it is Your Majesty's Zen position, where should we go?" ”

Everyone looked stunned.

"Once the son of heaven is a courtier, when the new court is established, will you still be able to maintain your current status and keep your existing glory and wealth?"

Hearing this, everyone's faces gradually turned pale, and Wang Shichong's words hit the nail on their head.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Min asked, "What does the general think we should do?" ”

?? Very good, Wang Shichong hooked the corners of his lips: "Since you want to choose capable people, why can you only choose among those rebels?" Since we want to run fairly, then we in Luoyang can also send people to participate. ”

The crowd was thoughtful.

Sima Dejiao, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Your Majesty said that it is a Zen position, and if it is a descendant of the Yang family who succeeds to the throne, then it will not be regarded as a Zen position." If we win in Luoyang, will Your Majesty still be the emperor himself? Isn't that deceiving the people? ”

The crowd fell silent again.

?? Wang Shichong quietly observed their expressions, and after a while, he slapped his thigh sharply and said, "Don't care who will be the emperor in the future, in short, win them first, and then we can nominate a respected person to come out and lead the overall situation." It's better than giving the country to those bandits. ”

?? After a pause, he continued: "At that time, Luoyang will still be the political center, we will still be the ministers, and we all have the merit of the dragon. ”

Everyone's expressions were shaken, and Sima Dejiao stroked his palm: "Okay, just according to what the general said." ”

The others hesitated for a moment, but agreed.

Wang Shichong smiled, and a satisfied look appeared in his eyes: "Then let's discuss the matter of the Shangsi Festival feast now......

?? ------------??

Yu Shinan went to Huitongyuan again on the second day, "King Tang is in better health?" Can you come into the palace with me today? ”

Li Yuan's face was uncomfortable, and his tone was a hint of helplessness: "Li is old, he can't stand the long journey, I'm afraid he needs to rest for a few more days." I'm really sorry to let Yu Shilang run for nothing today. ”

said that he was old and weak, but both sides knew that this was just a prevarication, and the real reason was well known.

However, Li Yuan's attitude was so polite, Yu Shinan couldn't say anything, expressed the emperor's concern, and then left.

??

After sending Yu Shinan, Li Yuan went to the study to write a few letters and called Tang Jian: "You send someone to send these letters out." ”

"Yes."

?? After leaving the study, Tang Jian looked at the envelopes and found that these letters were addressed to the leaders who had come to attend the feast of the Shangsi Festival.

?? He had doubts in his heart and immediately sent someone to deliver the letter.

?? It didn't take long for those leaders to reply to Li Yuan.

?? After reading the reply, Li Yuan smiled......
