"Motsuka Zai is an extremely smart person. Let me just say it directly. I don't have to complain in front of my mother, but Motsuka Zai, just pretend that what happened today never happened."
Yuan Xiaoju sneered: "His Highness humiliated me in public and asked the soldiers of Luoyang City to surround my palace, the tomb master of Luoyang City. Now His Highness pretends that nothing happened, but how can I govern in Luoyang City in the future?" This place? What prestige is there? Will the Pushan County Guild listen to me? Or will the soldiers outside listen to me? "
Yes, we have already broken up. Can we still live in harmony in the future?
Of course it's impossible. Yang Guang doesn't want them to live in harmony. Luoyang is in Yuan Xiaoju's hands after all. Even if it doesn't fall into his own hands, he will have to change a neutral faction to be Luoyang's tombmaster. The worst result will be This makes Yuan Xiaoju unable to control Luoyang well.
Yang Guang said with a relaxed look: "Motsuka Zai, what you want is beyond the options you can choose. Don't choose the wrong choice."
Looking at Yang Guang's face, Yuan Xiaoju fell into deep thought and kept thinking about countermeasures.
If he chooses to ignore Yang Guang, then if the emperor's reply is to severely punish King Jin, King Jin will have no hope of fighting for the throne in the future. It is not impossible for King Jin to do anything at this time. Now the house is surrounded by troops, Jin It would be easy for Wang Zhen to kill his whole family.
The emperor was not furious. Prince Jin would let him go, but he would definitely tell the queen about how he framed Prince Jin.
After the commotion between her daughter and Yun Zhaoxun in the East Palace some time ago, everyone knew that the Crown Princess had lost the favor of the Queen, even the Crown Prince. What Queen Dugu loved most now was her second son. With his vengeful character and ruthless methods, when Empress Dugu learned about this matter, she would feel uncomfortable in the future.
It seems that the best choice at hand is to do what Yang Guang said, pretend that nothing happened, do nothing, don't hand over the discount, don't complain, endure the fact that he was suppressed by Yang Guang in Luoyang City, endure it and continue. The troops and officials in Luoyang City slowly began to escape his control.
Unknowingly, he seemed to feel that he had completely fallen into Yang Guang's trap, and that he had no choice at all. Only then did he truly understand how deep the palace of King Jin was in front of him.
It was Yuan Xiaoju who originally set up a trap to frame Yang Guang, but he didn't expect that he would be framed by Yang Guang in turn. Now he is trapped in a quagmire and unable to extricate himself.
Admit defeat!
Now Yuan Xiaoju only thinks of this result and has no other options at all.
He sighed: "Young people are terrible. Your Highness, Prince Jin, is really willing to take risks. If you are not good, Your Highness, Prince Jin, will have to take part in it. Young people are brave, but it seems that our older generation has no courage."
"Genzuka Zai is so complimentary. I am not a coward, but if I act upright, I will have less worries. I am not as hesitant as you. Even if you risk all your wealth and life, you will not be afraid."
Yuan Xiaoju lamented in his heart, but his expression did not change: "Then just follow what His Highness said. I will pretend that this matter never happened. Your Highness should not give any information to His Majesty. We can live in peace."
Yang Guang stood up: "Then thank you Yuan Zhongzai."
"It's me who wants to thank His Highness King Jin."
"When my memorial to my father comes back, I will lift Yuan Zhongzai's house arrest, and ask Yuan Zhongzai to be patient for two more days."
"It's all up to His Highness."
Yang Guang turned around and left. Under the bright moonlight, the two of them had their own agendas. They couldn't believe a word they said, but a balance was briefly created.
…
…
The story of Yang Guang's execution of Magu has been widely circulated in the past two days, and the people praised him. They all said that King Jin killed well, and basically all the people in the Bai family who were implicated were executed.
A large and intertwined family, almost all of its immediate family members were killed, and the descendants who worked as officials outside were harboring evil intentions.
On the face of it, the public must be furious and want to denounce the Bai family, but except for a few people directly involved, everyone else shouted loudly and then began to plot to usurp the family's assets.
Big families have always been like this.
Yang Guang's thousand-mile horse naturally arrived in the capital ahead of the rumors, but not much faster. The news of the Bai family asking for help also arrived in the capital soon after.
The emperor received the report, in which Yang Guang wrote clearly about Magu, Bai Ting and others eating lamb, and Yang Guang also said that he was beheaded on the street when the school opened.
"The killing was good, but it was a bit impulsive and the noise was so loud. It was really uncomfortable."
With a slight smile on the emperor's face, Gao Xi took the emperor's memorial in front of the hall, glanced at it and said: "Your Highness, this memorial arrived yesterday afternoon. It was not brought up early this morning because it was not an urgent matter, but it was slightly changed last night. I also received a piece of news."
"How?"
"It is said that this lamb-eating Magu was imprisoned before, but because His Highness the King of Jin wanted to open a canal, and he was the envoy to open the canal, he was specially released to follow His Highness the King of Jin. This time, His Highness the King of Jin was furious, and even Mototsuka Zai has been implicated, and Motsuka Zai is now under house arrest."
Yang Jian's brows furrowed, and Gao Xi continued: "I don't dare to lie to you. Your Highness the King of Jin did use the military order."
Yang Jian then understood that the matter was true, and said with a dark face: "You dare to put Luoyang Zhongzai under house arrest. You are really bold, and your actions are also really reckless."
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin probably thought that Magu was arranged by Yuan Zhongzai to be with him, so he turned his anger on Yuanzhong Zai."
Yang Jian's face was dark. As an emperor, he could only restore the original situation from memorials and fragments of news.
"It's too impulsive. No matter how you say it, the house arrest of Luoyang Zhongzai is too bad. Even if I want to cover it up, there is no trace. There is no mention of this matter in the report. If you don't mention it, do you think it didn't happen? "
Yang Jian angrily threw the book to the ground. Even if he placed Luoyang Zhongzai under house arrest, he would have to think carefully. But Yang Guang was so impulsive. This made him lose most of his impression of his son's calm mind. Why did he do this like the prince? Urinary nature, will all the sons I give birth to have such a temperament in the end?
"Your Majesty, now that the matter has come to this, we still need to think about what to do next?"
Gao Jiong's words pulled Yang Jian back from his anger and turned to deep thought.
"What do you think Gao Jiong should do?"
Gao Jong replied without thinking: "Of course we should recall His Royal Highness Prince Jin first and comfort Yuan Zhongzai, so as to prevent Yuanzhong Zai from feeling resentful."
"This kid has caused such a big thing for me just after he left for a while. Let's plan a move and ask him to get back first."
Gao Yan accepted the order and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be too angry. His Royal Highness the King of Jin is young after all. When encountering such a bad incident this time, it is inevitable that he will be filled with righteous indignation. If Motonzuka Zai had not been placed under house arrest this time, His Highness would have really done it." Yes, the evidence is conclusive and the Bai family has been punished. These aristocratic families across the country are extremely powerful in the local area and have done a lot of harmful things. It is good for His Highness to sound the alarm for them."
"Furthermore, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has moved out of the founding laws and promoted His Majesty's national policies all the time. This is very good."
Seeing that Yang Jian was angry, Gao Yan helped Yang Guang by saying a few words.
After hearing this, Yang Jian stopped him.
"etc."
"Does your Majesty have any other instructions?"
Yang Jian sat and thought alone for a long time, his face always gloomy. Seeing him thinking so seriously, Gao Jian did not dare to disturb him in any way.
After a long time, Yang Jian raised his head. Most of his gloomy look was gone, and he was now smiling.
"Forget it, it's good for children to make some noise. As you said, King Jin is doing the right thing and obeying the authority in a hurry. This may be a little unconsidered, but excessive punishment and blow may not be conducive to his future development."
"Your Majesty, then..."
Yang Jian stood up, walked around the table, walked to Gao Jiong's side, and patted him on the shoulder very affectionately: "Well, King Jin did go too far in this matter, but he, Yuan Xiaoju, inexplicably killed a prisoner He may not have been released intentionally, but there were mistakes. Moreover, the Jin King's excerpt did not mention the house arrest of Yuan Xiaoju, let alone that Yuan Xiaoju framed him. Most of them were rumored, and the major eighty boards , send a note to both of them, punishing Yuan Xiao with one year's salary, and the King of Jin does the same, to serve as a warning to others."
Lifting it up heavily, putting it down gently, not even gently, but putting it down gently. The result of this treatment was something Gao Jiao had never expected. He was a little at a loss for a while and didn't understand why Yang Jian was so magnanimous today. ?
Gao Jong did not ask, but said: "Your Majesty, would you like to send someone to check whether Yuan Zhongzai is under house arrest?"
"You are old and confused. You sent two envelopes and sent someone to deliver the decree. Yuan Xiaoju accepted the decree. Wouldn't he complain about being under house arrest? Is there someone who was sent under house arrest? I saw it clearly.”
"Your Majesty is wise, but this old minister is stupid."
"Go ahead and send it out quickly."
When Gao Jiong left, he still didn't ask why the emperor did this. Sometimes you don't have to guess the emperor's thoughts, let alone ask more questions. Just do whatever the emperor asks you to do.
Gao Jiong stood at the gate of the imperial city, looked inside, and sighed.
…
The envoys who delivered the decree rushed to Luoyang City, one for Yang Guang and the other for Yuan Xiaoju.
The envoy delivering the order to Yuan Xiaoju came outside the Tsukazai Mansion and took a breath of cold air when he saw the guards on the third floor and the third floor. Rumor has it that the King of Jin put Yuan Xiaoju under house arrest. Depending on the situation, he would be put under house arrest.
When the messenger came to the door, he learned that Yuan Xiaoju, the messenger delivering the decree, had come to the door of the house for the first time in many days: "The humble minister Yuan Xiaoju accepted the decree."
After the envoy completed a set of procedures, while delivering the order, he approached Yuan Xiaoju and whispered: "Motozukazai, I will return to Beijing to inform His Majesty of your being placed under house arrest."
"House arrest? What house arrest? This is the escort arranged by His Highness Prince Jin for me because he is afraid that I will be in danger!"
