Chapter 1333 Interview

The Daxing Palace has been built for many years, but it has never been completed.

Because it was just built, just like the entire Daxing City, it was simply put into use at the beginning, and then continued to be supplemented. This is even more true in the palace. Royal buildings are always insufficient, and a palace or something has to be built when there is nothing to do.

The main reason is that the emperor is special. If he walks around the palace when he has nothing to do, he will feel that something is missing. Yang Jian was better, and he was considered to be frugal, but Yang Guang was no longer able to hold back.

The person responsible for the construction of Daxing City, the palace, Luoyang, and even Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was all from one person, Yuwen Kai.

This person is very capable in architecture and is a serious architect. He is also honest and does not form a party. He just honestly engages in architecture. He is considered to be a relatively happy person...

But unfortunately, Wang Yan has no chance to see the atmosphere of the entire palace.

Wang Yan wore a marquis's court dress. According to his position as a second-rank marquis, he was led to the front position of the military officer and waited to line up to enter at the appointed time.

Of course, it wasn't too far back. It was the early days of the dynasty, and anyone who could attend the court had a title. There were many dukes and county dukes.

He stood in the team, his hands in his sleeves, silently looking at the people who were also looking at him.

Judging who was who by standing and some whispered conversations.

There are really many historical celebrities here, not to mention Yang Yong, Yang Guang and other sons of Yang Jian, there are also familiar faces such as Li Yuan and Han Qinhu, and even more celebrities such as Pei Ju and Changsun Sheng.

Everyone's state is still relatively comfortable, because they got up too early, some people eat, some yawn, and some people gather in groups of three or two to chat.

They also looked at Wang Yan, a new face, with curiosity in their eyes.

"Are you Wang Yan?"

Just as everyone was looking at each other, a latecomer walked slowly and stopped when he came to Wang Yan.

This person was about fifty years old and had a lot of white hair, but his waist was very stiff, his words were very powerful, and his eyes were also very oppressive.

But it was useless.

Wang Yan glanced at him: "Who are you?"

"I am Yuwen Shu."

"Old dog!"

Wang Yan cursed, "Are you here to ask for justice for your son?"

Yuwen Shu was much better at cultivating his qi than Yuwen Huaji. He didn't turn his face away directly, but his eyes twitched. However, he still managed to remain calm.

Yuwen Huaji was an official of Yang Guang's Jin Palace. He moved with Yang Guang, and the two always met. Every time he met, he would curse at each other, and every time Yuwen Huaji was furious.

But it was true that Yuwen Shu was not a useless person like Yuwen Huaji. He was a man who could do both literature and martial arts, and he was also a pleasing person. Yang Guang valued him very much.

"Young man, don't talk nonsense."

"You bastard, your father didn't teach you, but you taught your father first? Old dog, are you tired of living? Get out of here!"

Wang Yan started to curse directly, not caring about how awesome Yuwen Shu was.

There was no need to be polite to a family that had already shown its hostility. Anyway, he was born as a soldier, and he was also an unparalleled warrior who was awarded a title in one battle. He was only twenty years old, and his unruly nature was what he should be like.

It was better to scold him. If he didn't, others would think he had been taken in as a dog.

"Vulgar! You..."

Before Yuwen Shu, who was scolded, expressed his attitude, someone jumped out to show his loyalty to Yuwen Shu.

Glancing at him, he saw that this person was a capable middle-aged man, and his position was definitely not as high as his own. So Wang Yan simply grabbed the man's neck and made him swallow his words: "Who do you think you are? You also come to talk to me? Yuwen Shu, this old dog, was scolded by his father. How can you be capable? You jumped out to be a dog, but you don't even know the time? Get out of the way, if you keep talking, I'll smash your mouth."

After that, Wang Yan threw this passerby out as if he was throwing away garbage.

The man rolled on the ground twice and struggled to stand up. His face was red, but his eyes were redder than before. But he didn't dare to speak. He was really afraid that Wang Yan would kill him.

"Wang Yan! How can you insult the pillars of the court and beat up the ministers of the same court?"

Yang Guang in front finally heard the noise behind him. Someone told him what happened, and he immediately scolded Wang Yan.

Wang Yan was very respectful and didn't make a single excuse. He bowed to Yang Guang and stood still with his hands clasped together.

Yang Guang glared at Wang Yan, then went to comfort the passerby who was thrown out, and then pulled Yuwen Shu to the front. He didn't excuse Wang Yan, didn't help to apologize, and didn't say anything else. Instead, he cared about Yuwen Shu's health.

The main reason was that Yuwen Shu supported Yang Guang and was in the same camp as Wang Yan, so Yang Guang could be the referee. It's just that Yuwen Shu's position was high, and Yang Guang respected him more. If Wang Yan fights a more fierce battle, Yang Guang should be punished with fifty lashes. To put it bluntly, strength is still the key.

Yuwen Shu regretted picking a fight with this peasant. He failed to act like a big boss, but was frustrated. He was disgusted and helped Wang Yan gain a foothold in the court.

He took a deep look at Wang Yan, took the opportunity to step down, and dealt with Yang Guang...

The people around looked at Wang Yan in surprise, and whispered to each other in twos and threes.

Some people gloated over his misfortune, some were dissatisfied with Wang Yan's actions, and so on.

All kinds of people have all kinds of ideas, but Wang Yan doesn't care. Anyway, he didn't suffer any loss, but took advantage, and also established his personality.

Establishing a persona was his main purpose.

Or because he was a soldier, or a humble surrendered soldier of the State of Chen, he stood out from the crowd of nobles from wealthy families, and was really unsociable.

Even without the old man Yuwen Shu jumping out, there were others who made things difficult for him. This was called a show of force, called preemptive attack, which was to test his bottom line and see if he had the potential to be a dog.

So he did the opposite. When Yuwen Shu bumped into him, he fired directly. He preempted the attack and intimidated others. Let people know that he was full of thorns and would explode at the first touch.

Then he had fewer troubles and was able to gain a foothold in the court.

He was a dog, but a dog of the royal family. No matter how people connected privately or how they dug into the empire, at least on the surface, everyone was a dog of the royal family, so everyone was on the same level.

Whoever came to him to ask for something from Wang, he would do it.

This would further strengthen the trust of Yang Guang and Yang Jian.

Yang Guang was even happier. Not to mention that Wang Yan was loyal to him. He accepted Wang Yan and gave him a chance to come forward. Wang Yan's amazing personal ability was secondary. The main thing was Yang Guang's ability to judge people.

Wang Yan is now a living advertisement for Yang Guang's political faction, a golden signboard. Yang Guang gave him a chance to come forward as a soldier. Others naturally have more opportunities. Let's all follow Yang Guang.

As for the revenge of the Yuwen family, that's nothing.

Anyway, Wang Yan is a military general. His record in the grassland battle can be said to be the best in the Sui Dynasty. After all, he stirred up the situation in the grassland with 600 soldiers and three months without mobilizing logistics. The grassland is still safe and honest until now, and he also beat up a loyal mercenary like the Bibu.

Other generals fought in large groups, and no one has achieved such a record as Wang Yan.

At the same time, Wang Yan is attached to Yang Guang. He has no other political power. He just grabs some land and makes some high-end products. The Yuwen family has no place to target Wang Yan.

After all, even if Wang Yan grabs land and evades taxes, it is just a normal operation of a big family. Targeting Wang Yan is targeting himself. Wang Yan is just a soldier. Today, he has become a county marquis of the founding country. It is already a class leap. He is satisfied with this point. He has the ability and is not afraid of not having the opportunity to benefit.

Moreover, Wang Yan’s position in Yang Guang’s heart now is not something that can be done by eye drops. His position in Yang Jian’s place, such a general, is also loyal to the royal family. Yang Jian’s head has not been kicked by a donkey, so he will only be better to Wang Yan...

In Daxing Hall, after paying homage, the ministers knelt on the ground and adjusted their postures one by one. At the same time, many people farted, and the air became much more polluted.

Wang Yan’s position is the hardest hit area, because those who are with him or in front of him are all old guys who love to fart.

Yang Jian didn't feel much. He was in the front, sitting high on the dragon throne, and the air nearby was still very fresh.

He looked down at the civil and military officials below and said loudly: "Just now I heard that you are very lively... Where is Wang Yan, the Marquis of Jiangning?"

"I am here." Wang Yan stood up, walked to the middle, and clasped his hands.

No mistakes, one sentence, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!

Yang Jian looked at Wang Yan carefully, and he said: "Tell me, what happened?"

"I have long admired Yu Wengong as the pillar of our Sui Dynasty, and I have made friends with his son Yu Wenhuaji, who often talks about his father's merits. I yearn for him in my heart. Today I finally see him, so I greet him."

As soon as Wang Yan said this, the ministers twitched their mouths, and some even coughed. Even Yu Wenshu twitched his mouth again.

Troublemaker!

At this moment, they had a further understanding of Wang Yan, that is, shameless!

Telling lies with open eyes is a basic quality required for an official. On the surface, one must say that he serves the country and the people, but he will not delay the secret calculations and despicable actions in secret.

The civil and military officials of the whole court expressed their affirmation to Wang Yan. They believed that Wang Yan had already integrated into the bureaucracy, and at least this shameless ability was qualified.

Yang Jian was so angry that he laughed, and then his face turned stiff, and his face also changed, just like Yang Guang. The superiors always do this to show their majesty.

"Bold Wang Yan, do you really think I don't know what happened? Insulting the pillars of the dynasty, disregarding the rules, making excuses, and not repenting, I will fine you for half a year!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Retreat." Yang Jian waved his sleeves.

So Wang Yan bowed and went back to his seat.

In ancient times, fines were a form of care. After all, few officials who were high enough to be fined by the emperor lived on their salaries.

Everyone knows that Wang Yan sells luxury goods at high prices. Because of this profitable business, the first reaction of each family is to take it back and take it for themselves, and then everyone knows that this business belongs to Wang Yan and is protected by Yang Guang. So everyone gave up this thought and became jealous...

After talking about such a small matter, the meeting began. It's the end of the year, and it's time to take stock. In addition, the rebellion in Jiangnan has not been quelled. Everyone brainstorms and discusses the future development of Jiangnan.

It was also at this time that Yang Guang directly stepped out and asked to control Jiangnan.

Yang Jian did not agree directly, saying that he would study it later, and then announced some personnel transfers, a few auspicious signs, and sang praises, and then ended this year's Wangri Grand Court Meeting.

Wang Yan did not leave directly. He was left behind to drink tea with the emperor together with Yang Yong, Yang Guang and others.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Wang Yan saluted Yang Yong very sensibly.

Yang Yong gave people a much better impression. His face gave people a generous feeling. He did not inherit the attributes of a dog face. His smile was like a spring breeze.

He patted Wang Yan's arm: "Marquis Jiangning is really brave and invincible. When I first read the grassland war report, I was shocked. Marquis Jiangning has a brilliant record. He is truly a well-deserved unparalleled general of our Great Sui Dynasty."

He did not claim to be alone, but used "I", which was very particular.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince has praised me too much. I am just lucky to be promoted. It is His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin who trusts me and gives me the opportunity to make merit. How can I take all the credit?"

Yang Guang is right next to him. Even if he is not there, Wang Yan will express his loyalty clearly.

Yang Yong smiled: "Second brother, you are good at controlling your subordinates."

"My royal brother, you are joking. This kid is a warrior and doesn't recognize so many things." Yang Guang laughed.

So Wang Yan had nothing to do. He fell behind and listened to the two brothers' conversation, which was pretending to be friendly and respectful.

Of course, Yang Yong also knew that Yang Guang wanted to compete for the throne, but he was already in the throne, so he was relatively more relaxed and didn't have such a strong sense of crisis. After all, the throne of the crown prince cannot be easily shaken. At present, if Yang Jian wants to change the crown prince, more than half of the court officials will oppose it.

Or Yang Yong didn't pay enough attention, while Yang Guang was ambitious and paid too much attention. He did all kinds of bad things and made all kinds of connections, so Yang Yong went down and died.

In general, Yang Yong was not cruel enough!

After walking for a while, he arrived at a side hall and saw Yang Jian, who had changed into casual clothes, Dugu Jialuo, the mother of the country, and Princess Qionghua and her maids peeking behind the screen.

Yang Yong and Yang Guang called him father, emperor and mother, while Wang Yan bowed respectfully and greeted His Majesty and the Queen.

He was then given a seat, and Wang Yan knelt down. A maid served tea and served a table of various snacks.

Yang Jian asked Wang Yan to drink tea and eat, and Wang Yan was not polite, eating and drinking with big mouthfuls.

Seeing Wang Yan like this, no one cared about Wang Yan's impoliteness. Yang Jian asked with a smile: "Wang Yan, I fined you half a year's salary, don't blame me?"

"It's too late to thank Your Majesty, others want to fine you but don't have the chance to do so." Wang Yan's face was absolutely honest and loyal, "Besides, thanks to the care of Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, I have some wealth. I opened a shop called Jixiangju, selling soaps, perfumes and the like, specializing in selling to wealthy families, making a lot of money from them. Tomorrow I will give it to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and ask him to bring it to the Queen."

Yang Jian and his son laughed at these words.

"You are thoughtful." Dugu Jialuo also nodded with a smile, as if she was very satisfied.

In fact, she had it a long time ago. Yang Guang was more filial and had sent a batch to the palace. In fact, Wang Yan also knew...

In the following time, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo cared about Wang Yan's various situations. They didn't talk about too many important things. The most important thing was to talk about Wang Yan's war on the grassland.

But these are not important, they are the key points. They are interviewing Wang Yan and analyzing what kind of thoughts Wang Yan has from the conversation and whether he is reliable.

Wang Yan just pretended to be innocent, with a face that I am a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty...

Daily thanks to the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets and read books silently for their strong support!
