Three days later, there was no news from the "Yin Sect", but Wang Zhong received an edict from Yang Guang, ordering him to participate in the morning court on the second day with Laihu'er.

Since Yang Guang returned to Luoyang, he has not had time to deal with Wang Zhong, busy dealing with the government, this time the million-strong army to conquer Goryeo, not only did not return in vain, but also lost troops and generals, especially Yang Guang's 50,000 personal soldiers buried under the snow, all of which were his descendants.

With such a big loss, the government and the opposition were shaken, and there were small-scale rebellions in various parts of the Great Sui, but fortunately, it was not yet a climate, and Yang Guang needed to make some arrangements!

In the imperial court, some old ministers could no longer bear Yang Guang's tyranny, and wrote to Yang Guang to issue an edict against himself, and the angry Yang Guang beheaded three old ministers of the former dynasty in a row, so that he finally suppressed the voice of the court.

Because Yang Guang implemented the "imperial examination system", which touched the power of the gate lords, so that the ministers of the court had many two hearts, Yang Guang's edict could not be unimpeded, and the failure of the conquest of Goryeo caused Yang Guang's prestige to be lost, so the court situation became more and more turbulent.

At this moment, Yang Guang asked Wang Zhong to participate in the court meeting, and Wang Zhong guessed that Yang Guang was going to borrow something from him.

Sure enough, when Wang Zhong participated in the court meeting and stood in the last row silently, Yang Guang beheaded him to kill Gao Jian, the prince of Goryeo, and talked about the deeds of resisting the Yijian master Fu Cailin.

almost praised Wang Zhong to the sky, making people think that this conquest of Goryeo was not a defeat of the Great Sui, but a victory of the Great Sui!

Yang Guang wanted to make a fuss about Wang Zhong, highlight his exploits, and downplay the fact that the imperial court had lost troops and lost generals.

This incident was expected by Wang Zhong.

Yang Guang, although he is eloquent and strategic, but unfortunately he lacks strength and has a good face, so he does not accept his defeat at all, and naturally does not think that it is his responsibility to defeat Goryeo, but thinks that everything is wrong.

Until now, Yang Guang still naively thought that the failure of the conquest of Goryeo was not a matter of his own command, but a heavy snowfall from the sky and the impact of the snow disaster.

It is not a crime of war, but a number of days!

Of course, there are still discerning people in the court, such as Shangshu of the Military Department of the Dynasty, Shangzhu Guo, Chu Guogong, and Yang Xuangan!

When Yang Guang decided to canonize Wang Zhong as the "First Warrior of the Great Sui" and crowned him as the "Champion Hou", Yang Xuangan walked out and directly objected!

"Although the captain is brave and brave, after all, he is young, and it is difficult to be the first warrior in the world!" Yang Xuangan directly said to Yang Guangdao:

"Besides, the title of the champion marquis is extraordinary, although the captain of the school beheaded the prince of Goryeo Gao Jian, but the military merits are not enough to make the marquis!"

"The imperial court has its own law, and the military merits of the captain are not enough, and he cannot be named a marquis, and in the humble opinion of the minister, it is enough to be named a "baron"!"

Good guy, the fifth-class title of "Duke and Uncle Male", Yang Xuangan suddenly cut to the lowest "baron".

Or in front of Emperor Yang Guang, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he directly spoke out against Yang Guang's reward for Wang Zhong, at this point, Yang Guang's prestige in the court can be seen how weak!

Anyway, hearing Yang Xuangan's proposal, Yang Guang had a black face, as if he had eaten stool.

Wang Zhong and Lai Hu'er's faces were not very good.

For the title reward, Wang Zhong looked very lightly, but in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, Yang Xuangan was so faceless, Wang Zhong's mood can be imagined.

Lai Hu'er's face was not good, in addition to being angry with Yang Xuan, there was also guilt for Wang Zhong.

Most of the reason why Yang Xuangan opposed Wang Zhong to become a marquis was because he was a political enemy of Laihu'er.

The grievances between Laihu'er and Yang Xuangan can be traced back to Yang Xuangan's father, Yang Su!

Yang Xuangan, the duke of Chu State, did not earn it with real swords and guns, but inherited the title of his father Yang Su.

Yang Sunai was an old minister of the former dynasty, who helped Yang Jian, the founder of the Great Sui, to pacify the world, and later supported Yang Guang to ascend the throne, which can be regarded as the first hero of the Great Sui!

In order to show Yang Su's merits, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he was awarded the title of Duke of Chu, and the official worshiped Shang Shuling, Taishi, and Situ, which can be regarded as a very human minister, and the power is great, only under Yang Guang!

Maybe it's because of the great credit, Yang Su can't help but be pampered and arrogant, and he doesn't deal with the old princes of Laihu'er, often boasting of being the first prince of the Great Sui, and stealing the exploits of veterans in the army such as Laihu'er, and Liangzi is like this.

In the second year of the great cause, Yang Su somehow died suddenly, Yang Xuangan succeeded to the title of Duke of Chu, accepted his father's political legacy, and naturally took over Yang Su's grievances.

Originally, for the sake of Yang Su's death, he didn't plan to embarrass Yang Xuangan, but he didn't expect Yang Xuangan to know what medicine he had taken wrong, since his father died, he had to bite whoever in the court, made enemies everywhere, and almost offended a large number of people, and he could even pull hatred than his father Yang Su!

It's just that Yang Xuangan's official luck is really good, a few years after his father Yang Su died, he was an official and worshiped the secretary of the military department, and he was a very popular minister, although he was not as powerful as his father during his lifetime, but it should not be underestimated!

It is not that there is no covenant in the court, but as soon as Yang Xuangan finished speaking, someone came out to oppose him.

"Lord Yang said this, the old minister didn't dare to agree!" stood up is one of the four major valves of the Great Sui, Dugu Feng, the owner of the Dugu Valve.

"The captain of the school is brave and brave, not only resisting Fu Cailin, the first master of Goryeo, but also saving the driver, with this saving merit, the marquis is more than enough!"

Dugu Valve started as a relative, and was Yang Jian's Dugu Queen relative, and he was the closest to Yang Guang, but in recent years, in order to balance the power of the court, Yang Guang has favored the "Yuwen Valve", one of the four major valves.

Dugu Feng didn't want to help Wang Zhong, but to help Emperor Yang Guang, he couldn't watch Yang Xuan lose Yang Guang's face.

Next, the court was divided into two factions, one supported Yang Xuangan and the other supported Dugufeng, and the quarrel was inextricable.

Seeing the chaos of the court meeting, Wang Zhong was still very calm, and he had been watching coldly, he knew in his heart that the Great Sui might not last for a few years.

Few of the ministers of the imperial court were loyal to Yang Guang, and they were selfish and completely torn their faces in order to fight for power and profit.

Maybe Yang Guang saw that Wang Zhong had been too idle, so he directly opened his mouth to calm down the chaos in the court, and named Wang Zhong to come out of the ranks!

"Come to Qing's house, Lord Yang said that you are not worthy of the name of "the first warrior of the Great Sui", let alone the title of champion Houhou, what do you think!"

Yang Guang's words pushed Wang Zhong to the forefront and became the focus of everyone.

The officials who can participate in the court meeting, the smallest rank are all fourth-grade, and Wang Zhong, a small seventh-grade captain, is naturally ranked at the end.

When Yang Guang opened his mouth to ask, Wang Zhong couldn't help but say it, so he could only stand up, and walked to the forefront steadily, and said to Yang Guang with his fists:

"Your Majesty rewarded him, and the minister naturally didn't dare to refuse, as for whether he could bear the throne and the name of "the first warrior of the Great Sui", the minister had a proposal!"

Yang Guang became interested, and asked curiously: "What is the proposal, let's talk to me and listen to it!"

"Xiaochen is willing to accept anyone's challenge, as long as he can beat Xiaochen, the name of "the first warrior of the Great Sui" is naturally his, if the minister is lucky to beat everyone, then he is naturally the "first warrior of the Great Sui"!"

"As for the position of the champion marquis, it is all up to His Majesty!"
