Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

678 Dragon's Wrath

The emperor's eyes became terrifying.

He fixed his eyes on Su Wei.

Nayan Suwei looked at the emperor without bowing his head.

"Humph!"

The emperor flicked his sleeves, turned his head and left.

He was striding forward, looking very angry, but inside he was filled with fear and uneasiness.

Why?

Because since Yanmen was rescued, he went south to Luoyang, then to Xijing, and then to Jiangdu. For more than half a year, the reports he saw every day were full of words such as great victory, and the reports of Yu Shiji and others were also full of words. Words of victory and celebration.

Especially after coming to Jiangnan, all the emperor saw was the prosperity of Jiangdu.

Jiangdu is full of feasting, feasting, singing and dancing.

No one told him that the thieves turned against each other again, and the prefectures were broken again. All he heard was that another band of thieves was wiped out, and how many beauties and treasures were brought in.

Therefore, the emperor really thought that the world is peaceful now, and the situation everywhere is very good.

After all, he trusted Pei Shiju and Yu Shiji so much, there was no reason to lie to him, and they would never dare to lie to him.

But now, Su Wei told him a completely different fact.

What does this mean?
It shows that some of his four prime ministers are telling lies.

Either Su Wei or Pei Yun.

But no matter who told the lie, it told the emperor that not all his prime ministers could be trusted.

Then the good news he heard before may be someone deliberately whitewashing the peace.

He, was lied to.

Although he thinks that the possibility of being cheated is very small, and he even thinks that Su Wei is old and confused, but after all, there is still such a possibility.

And as the Son of Heaven, he would not allow even the slightest bit of cheating.

Walking to a pavilion, Yang Guang went in and sat down.

As he passed the road just now, he had already turned around in his mind for a long time, and he also thought of many possibilities.

The four prime ministers followed behind.

The emperor asked Suwei again.

"Are there really so many thieves and bandits in the world? What about my pacifiers, haven't they done their best? Why haven't they been able to suppress the thieves and bandits?"

"Su Wei, I know you are against the Eastern Expedition, but you don't need to scare me with bandits!"

"Your Majesty, how dare a subject bully you, let alone scare your Majesty. There are more and more bandits in the world. This is a fact. Last time Zhang Xutuo suppressed Li Mi in Henan, all [-] soldiers and horses were wiped out. Only a few of his own soldiers killed him." Desperate to rescue. Wang Shichong suppressed Li Mi, and up to now, the eight counties in Henan, including Xingluocang, Hulaoguan and Xingyang, are still in Li Mi's hands."

"If your majesty really wants to conscript Goguryeo again, in fact, there is no need to conscript the world's soldiers and horses at all. You only need a pardon to pardon the world's thieves, and then let them join the army to march east. Your majesty can get millions of soldiers in an instant. must perish."

Su Wei didn't know what medicine he had taken wrongly today, but he started to stand up, and he told the truth.

Yang Guang is not a fool either.

Su Wei mentioned bandits again and again, and told him very bluntly that there are millions of bandits in the world today.

The emperor's anger turned into silence.

Pei Yun was the best at observing facial expressions. Seeing the emperor's silence, he knew that something was wrong.

So he immediately said, "It seems that as your majesty's prime minister, I was still deceived by the local officials. Please give me a chance to thoroughly investigate this matter and give your majesty an explanation."

Pei Yun was very conscientious and did not immediately argue with Su Wei in front of the emperor.

He just said that what Su Wei said might be true, but it wasn't that we lied to the emperor, it was someone below who lied to us.Emperor, please give us some time, and I will check for you to see if the truth is as Su Xiang said.

"Okay, I'll give you some time, but we must find out the real situation."

The monarchs and ministers of this meeting broke up unhappy.

After Pei Yun, Pei Shiju, and Yu Shiji left the palace, they immediately discussed in secret for a long time, and then on the same day, Pei Yun secretly ordered a confidant of Yu Shitai to write a memorial.

In the memorial, the censor impeached Su Wei for accepting bribes when he was in charge of selecting and recommending officials, and then arbitrarily appointing officials.

There is a mountain of evidence for this impeachment.

After the emperor saw the memorial, he was really furious, and immediately summoned Yushitai and Dali Temple to take charge of the investigation. As a result, Pei Yun and other three ministers were behind the operation, and the result of this investigation would naturally not change. Su Wei's story is true.

They even instigated Dali Temple and Yushitai to take advantage of the case and pretend to discover more evidence of Suwei's crimes by accident.

Among them are his corruption, his party formation, and even clues about his collusion with Turkic intentions.

Yang Guang saw these survey results.

Also startled.

He specially handed over the case to Prime Minister Pei Yun for investigation.

As a result, Pei Yun's work efficiency was quite fast, and the trial was completed in only a few days.

The results of his disposal are also very simple.

If the evidence is true, the death penalty should be imposed.

Seeing this result, Yang Guang hesitated for a while.

"Bring Su Wei to see me, I want to know what else Su Wei has to say."

Su Wei was brought in.

This prime minister who was the prime minister in the Wendi Dynasty, had two ups and downs, and was the prime minister in the Daye Dynasty, and the prime minister who had ups and downs three times, is 82 years old.

He is full of white hair, and he has ups and downs.

He looked at the emperor, knowing that this was his best chance, but he didn't know how to justify it.

"His Majesty."

Su Wei kowtowed to the emperor to apologize, and his head was bleeding.

The emperor couldn't stand it anymore.

After all, the founding fathers of the Sui Dynasty had ups and downs.

"Get up, it's so pitiful at such an old age."

"Your Majesty, I know that I have failed God's favor, so I dare not ask His Majesty for forgiveness, but I ask Your Majesty to let me and my family be exiled to Liaodong as Changliu people, to defend the frontier and expand the land for the Great Sui Dynasty."

As he said that, Su Wei walked to the emperor's feet on his knees, hugged the emperor's feet and kowtowed.

Yang Guang felt that Su Wei's hand stuffed something into the boots under his robe, his heart moved, and he looked over, but saw that Su Wei was looking at him with a pleading look.

So Yang Guang finally remained silent.

"Well, for the sake of your two dynasties, I think you are more than 80 years old, you are old and stupid, and you are confused for a while, so I will pardon you for the death penalty. In this way, I will demote you to be an official of the seventh grade of An Dong Daozheng!"

Originally, Pei Yun and the others had already done their homework. This time, they wanted to kill Su Wei who betrayed them. Who knew that Su Wei was a veteran of the two dynasties, and he was a prime minister five times, so he kowtowed, and finally the emperor pardoned his death penalty , and finally even left him a seventh-rank official position.

Jiedu Tuiguan, a low-level subordinate official of Jiedu envoy, is an official under the Jiedu magistrate and the secretary, and is responsible for the affairs of pushing and prosecuting prisons.

When Su Wei was taken out of the palace by the guards, Pei Yun and the others were shocked when they knew the result.

"Why not only was he not executed, but he was sent to Anton Luocheng?"

"It must be the ghost of that old man Su!"

"Maybe Luo Cheng is manipulating behind!"
