Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 178 Three Immortals Offer a Cauldron

"Your Highness, didn't you say you won't hit anyone?"

"That was not a beating just now."

Yuan Tiantian never thought that after he told the story about the Three Immortals Offering the Cauldron, he did not do what Yang Guang expected to do, but instead did something he had never thought of.

Your Highness is truly unconventional.

"Tiantian, why do you say this about Father's Three Immortals Offering the Cauldron?"

After piercing the last layer of window paper, Yuan Tiantian was a little shy but less hesitant, and said directly: "Your Highness, the Sui Dynasty seems to be stable, but in addition to the imperial power, the nobles of various places, the powerful clans, and all kinds of The forces are not weak. The Yuan Xiaoju that His Highness has offended this time is a wealthy family. Although the Bai family is not a wealthy family, it is also a prominent family that has accumulated many years of experience. Presumably, once the news comes out, although His Highness did the right thing, But the world's most powerful families will have more thoughts."

"What do you think?"

"I am in danger. If Your Majesty punishes His Highness, it will calm down a lot. He will directly take away His Highness's military power and even protect His Highness. However, if His Majesty not only has no punishment for His Highness's behavior, but may even reward Him, then His Highness must be careful about His Majesty's plans." It’s time for the Three Immortals to Present the Cauldron.”

The Three Immortals Offering the Cauldron Game was used by King Qin Huiwen, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Boss Cao. It is one of the ancient schemes. To put it simply, it is the scapegoat.

Qin Xiaogong wanted to reform and strengthen the country, so he used Shang Yang to make the six countries fear Qin. Shang Yang became Xiaogong and established Qin's empire.

But at the same time, after the reform, the interests of the old aristocrats of Qin were damaged, they encountered great resistance, and accumulated a lot of resentment. These resentments broke out when Qin Xiaogong died and the new king of Qin Huiwen was established. .

Of course, when King Qin Huiwen came to the throne, he had to stabilize the government, so even though he knew that Shang Yang had made great contributions, King Qin Huiwen still had to let Shang Yang die. This was Qin Xiaogong's fault. It was Qin Xiaogong who wanted to change the law, and Shang Yang just happened to meet Qin Xiaogong's needs. , but Qin Xiaogong pushed Shang Yang to the stage. Shang Yang took over the grievances of all the old nobles for his own ideals. When Shang Yang died, the grievances disappeared.

Shang Yang died, but King Qin Huiwen still followed Shang Yang's reforms and continued his rule, and the fruits of victory still fell into the hands of those behind the scenes.

The same is true for the Tui En Ling, except that the Tui En Ling is two kinds of conspiracy at the same time, itself is a kind of conspiracy, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed his master Fu Yan is another kind of conspiracy.

It was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who wanted to implement the order of favor and weaken the kings in various places, and Zhufu Yan was the one who was pushed to the stage. However, Zhufu Yan himself also gathered the resentment of the old powerful nobles. In the end, Emperor Wu killed him to calm down his anger and pushed him to the throne. Do as you please.

When the people under his command are too powerful, the emperor can appropriately introduce a troublemaker, and this troublemaker represents the will of the imperial power. Unfortunately, he is the emperor's scapegoat.

In the chaos, the group of old nobles were flustered by the troublemakers, and eventually some of them would compromise with the imperial power. This was the tripod, and the emperor could reap the benefits as long as he operated it properly.

The situation that Yang Guang is facing now is very similar to the Three Immortals Xianding Tribunal, and he is the troublemaker in that situation, the one who brings about changes. The emperor urgently needs to weaken the power of prominent families in various places, so he appointed Yang Guang as the Da Sima, the actual military power is superior to that of the prince.

He thought that Yang Guang wanted to do something and replace the prince, so he gave him a chance and let him go.

Now we have to see how the emperor reacts to Yang Guang's behavior and whether the emperor is deliberately taking advantage of Yang Guang.

This family sits on the throne, and even if they are father and son, they have a relationship that can be exploited.

As for Yuan Tiantian being able to see this level, he didn't expect that this little girl Yuan Tiantian could really be so powerful. She could see the situation so thoroughly, and she was really quite capable.

Of course, the strongest relationship between two people cannot be that of master and slave. In order to prevent Yuan Tiantian from being snatched away, he took an insurance policy and took her in directly.

The specific process is not described much, but in history, men who did great things must have some dedication.

Yang Guang sighed: "Oh, I hope my father will make the right choice."

Yuan Tiantian looked sideways at Yang Guang. The already exquisite and graceful woman could see the deep white and tender ravine at first glance.

"Your Highness, you reacted very much when I mentioned the Three Immortals Presenting the Cauldron. It seems that you had guessed it before, so you still acted like this. This is because you want to test His Majesty."

Yang Guang reached out and scratched her nose: "How come you can see everything clearly?"

"Then Your Highness, if it is really as you think, how can you break the situation?"

Yang Guang fell into hesitation and said: "Let's first determine what the father wants."

But then he added: "To break this situation, we have to follow the old saying, make friends a lot and make enemies few."

"Your Highness, where does this old saying come from?"

Yang Guang did not answer, but stood up and put on his clothes. Yuan Tiantian asked: "Your Highness, are you going to Yuan Xiaoju's house?"

"Got to meet him."

"But Your Highness, it was already late at night just now..."

"It's okay. He won't be able to sleep tonight. He will keep waiting for me."

After putting on his clothes, Yang Guang touched Yuan Tiantian's head: "You will be mine from now on, sleep well, I won't treat you badly in the future." Yang Guang walked out of the room, Wang Yi was already waiting outside, He stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Congratulations to Your Highness. I have seen before that Miss Tiantian must be passionately devoted to Your Highness. As expected..."

"Is the horse ready?"

"All right."

"lets go."

Late at night in Luoyang City, Yang Guang sat on a carriage, with Li Feng and the escorting sergeant following him, and arrived outside Yuan Xiaoju's Mansion.

At this time, a group of people had just changed outside Yuan Xiaoju's mansion. Yang Guang walked closer and took a look. Among the soldiers guarding the mansion, the young ones were anxious and uneasy. At such a young age, they did not have enough concentration. He was asked to come and surround them. Looking at Tsukazaifu, I was naturally worried and scared.

They, who are low-level soldiers, do not know the decisions made by the upper level, and now they are even worried about whether Yang Guang is going to stage a coup.

Yang Guangda walked into the tomb master's house and went directly to see Yuan Xiaoju.

As expected, Yuan Xiaoju couldn't sleep. He stood respectfully at the door of the mansion. When he saw Yang Guang, he saluted: "I am here to see His Highness the King of Jin."

"Motsuka Zai ordered people to come look for me, but something happened?"

"It's been a long night with no intention of sleeping. I just want to chat with His Highness alone."

Yang Guang waved his hand to tell everyone else to step aside. Of course, he would not enter the house alone with Yuan Xiaoju, but the two of them would sit in the garden. Because the moon was bright tonight, they could still see clearly.

Yuan Xiaoju sat down and spoke: "Your Highness asked the soldiers to surround my house. What is your intention? Just when you want to kill me, this Luoyang Tomb Zai, can't you?"

"That's not impossible, it just depends on whether Motsuka Zai knows what he is interested in."

"His Highness has already killed Bai Ting and Magu. It seems that His Highness still wants to find someone to vent his anger on. If that's the case, His Highness will order someone to take my head from my neck. It's just that my wife is innocent. I hope Your Highness will let her go. ."

Yuan Xiaoju said it easily, without any hint of timidity or worry. Yang Guang looked at his expression and said with a relaxed look: "Yuan Zhongzai doesn't seem to be worried at all."

"Although His Highness's actions are not in line with what I think is common sense, he is willing to redress the injustice of the people. To redress the injustice of a few children who don't know where they came from, it is natural that he would not attack innocent people."

"Motsuka Zai is good at flattering people. After saying this, even if I want to, I seem to be embarrassed to do it."

Yang Guang knocked on the stone table in front of him: "So for such a smart person like Motsuka Zai, it is impossible to say that he accidentally released Magu and asked him to follow me. Naturally, he had already planned it and let Magu follow me. After death, he can completely ruin my reputation. Genzukazai has such a vicious mind and vicious strategies."

"I don't understand what your highness is talking about. I don't know much about Magu either. Your highness, please don't slander me if you don't have any evidence."

Yang Guang smiled disdainfully: "Yes, I know that Yuan Zhongzai will not admit it. Your method is really good, so in order to prevent my father from receiving any bad news about me, I still ask you to be here before the matter is decided. Let me live in your house for now, I will remember the things you did to me."

"Your Highness is concerned about me, and I am flattered."

Yuan Xiaoju still looked fearless.

"Motsuka Zai really doesn't seem worried that my father will be angry with you. Do you think what you have done is not enough to make my father angry?"

"Your Majesty did this, and I don't know it, but I have done meritorious service and usefulness to Your Majesty. Even if I make one or two wrong steps, I believe that Your Majesty will be magnanimous and tolerate me. But Your Highness, don't you suspect that His Majesty is doing it for you?" Do you want to compete for the favor of the saint and deliberately frame the old minister to implicate His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Yang Guang stood up and looked up at the bright moon: "If this is what Genzukazai had planned, I'm afraid it will come to nothing. The note I gave to my father didn't say a bad word about you, let alone my elder brother."

"His Royal Highness Prince Jin is truly noble and honorable."

Yang Guang raised his eyebrows with a playful smile: "It may be useless to tell my father, but it may still have some effect for me as a son to cry to my mother about being framed by Genzuka Zai."

Yuan Xiaoju didn't expect Yang Guang to retain such a hand, and his face turned pale for a moment.

"His Royal Highness King Jin is so..."

"No doubt, I can do it, don't feel ashamed. As a son, I don't feel ashamed if I cry to my mother when I am wronged. Anyway, my mother has always loved me. If I said this, it is reasonable and the mother will help me." mine."

Often high-end court disputes are so simple and unpretentious. Before Yang Guang spoke, Yuan Xiaoju would never have thought that Yang Guang's last trump card was to snitch on the queen.

It seemed like a child's play, but it made Yuan Xiaoju unable to break the situation. He believed that Yang Guang would really do this, and the results of doing so were also very obvious.

Yuan Xiaoju hesitated for a while before speaking: "Your Highness, are you telling me this? Is there anything you need me to do?"
