Chapter 383 Why are you laughing?
Yang Guang praised Gao Bufan so highly, which made the officials present think about each other and realized that a political star was rising. Gao Bufan didn't think so much about it. Just the current atmosphere of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang's suspicious and moody state, it only takes several years to change the dynasty. Who cares?
Of course, there is still a need to do superficial skills. Gao Bufan quickly thanked him and verbally expressed his loyalty for not having money, and then he was allowed to stand aside.
At this time, Linqing County Magistrate Cui Wu was still kneeling there, and could see that he was very nervous. Even a layer of sweat oozed out of his forehead. When Yang Guang looked at him with gloomy eyes, the County Magistrate Cui was so scared that he didn't dare to penetrate the air. He knelt there and did not move.
"Who are you?" Yang Guang said lightly, clearly asking, because Cui Wu was wearing the county magistrate's uniform, and he could tell at a glance that he was a local county magistrate.
Cui Wu was so excited that he hurriedly said, "Go back to the emperor, I am the magistrate of Linqing County Cui Wu. Here, on behalf of the people of this county, we welcome the emperor's emperor's deity."
The crow's feet on both sides of Yang Guang's eyes immediately stood up slightly, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said coldly: "Are you born in Qinghe Cui?"
Cui Wu was extremely frightened and said, "Go back to the emperor, I do come from the second branch of the Cui family in Qinghe."
Yang Guang closed his eyes slightly, and his sharp eyes also disappeared, and he returned to his appearance as if he was a vulgar man. However, the officials present couldn't help but be frightened. Because this was a sign that Yang Guang was about to get angry. After that, Cui Wu was in trouble.
Sure enough, Yang Guang said: "I heard that a daughter of Cui clan in Qinghe married the rebel Yang Xuanzong, right?"
Cui Wu's face turned slightly white, cold sweat was pouring on his face, and his forehead almost touched the floor, and he said tremblingly: "There is indeed this. When Situ Chu Gong Yang Su was still having a child, he personally asked his second son Yang Xuanzong to marry my first daughter of the Cui family in the Qing Dynasty. It was an old story more than ten years ago."
Yang Guang nodded and said, "Since the Cui Yang family has a marriage relationship, has the horse farm under Cui's name provided Yang Xuangan with war horses?"
Cui Wu was shaking slightly at this time and said, "The emperor clearly understands that Cui from Qinghe has never sponsored Yang Xuangan's war horses, and he has no knowledge of this matter in advance."
Yang Guang said lightly: "Let me say it for a moment, and I will just pretend that there is no one. If you find out that Qinghe Cui is involved in Yang Xuangan's rebellion in the future, you will never let it go!"
Cui Wu was almost scared and paralyzed. Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, because the meaning in Yang Guang's words should have been that he had no evidence that Cui's collusion with Yang Xuangan was found in Qinghe.
It was the first time Gao Bufan learned that the Cui family in Qinghe actually had a marriage relationship with Yang Xuangan. However, marriages between aristocratic families were routine. Large families like the Cui family in Qinghe were prosperous, and they were afraid they had marriages with most aristocratic families. The relationship was intricate, and it was not surprising at all.
As for whether the Cui family in Qinghe sponsored Yang Xuangan's rebellion, it is unknown. Anyway, after hearing Yang Guang's tone, it seems that the evidence has not been obtained yet. At this time, it is just a warning and a blow.
Just when everyone thought Cui Wu had escaped, a sneer flashed across Yang Guang's mouth, and threw a list on the ground in front of Cui Wu, and said coldly: "Mr. Cui, is this the tribute for your Linqing County to welcome the saint? How dare you treat me so slowly?"
Cui Wu's cold sweat broke out again, and he picked up the list tremblingly. It was indeed the list of supplies supplied by Linqing County to the imperial fleet. Although the supplies on it were not luxurious, they were definitely not bad. They were almost the same as those paid by neighboring counties. Why did he become a negligent driver when he arrived here?
"The emperor... I am dereliction of duty. I will prepare another tribute when I go back!" Cui Wu knew that Yang Guang was wearing small shoes for him, but he still tactfully bowed his head and apologized.
Yang Guang originally wanted to find an excuse to curse Cui Wu in order to kill the chicken and warn the monkeys of the Qinghe Cui family, so his eyes sternly and said in a cold voice: "No need, come here, Linqing County Magistrate Cui Wu neglected the priest's command, took office on the spot, and took it down to behead him to show his example to others."
Cui Wu was immediately scared and knocked his head to the sky with a loud noise: "Your Majesty, please spare me, please spare me, I am not neglecting the Holy Lord, I am just negligent!"
Yang Guang was indifferent. Two Qianniu Guards stepped forward and wanted to take Cui Wu off the boat and behead him. The ministers present were all silent. Fan Zigai, the only sitting person, looked at his nose, his nose, and his mouth, and his heart. He looked like an old monk was in meditation. No one dared to plead for Cui Wu.
Just as Cui Wu was about to be taken out for beheading, Yang Guang suddenly frowned and said coldly: "Let's wait!"
Two Qianniuwei stopped when they heard this. Just as everyone was puzzled, Yang Guang stared at Gao Bufan coldly and said, "Why is Gao Lang laughing?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the eyes of the audience were focused on Gao Bufan.
Yang Qingruo's delicate body trembled quickly, and she was both shocked and suspicious. What are you going to do? She thought that her life would not last long, and others would avoid it. You should meddle in other people's business!
Queen Xiao was also surprised. This child was very smart, so why did he make the emperor unhappy at this time?
Indeed, Yang Guang was very unhappy now. He wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys and used cruel means to shock the ministers and those aristocratic families. As a result, Gao Bufan actually laughed with a relaxed look on his face. This is clearly a contempt for himself. He was really impatient. Could it be that he was promoted to level four in a row, so he was so proud? If you don’t know a reasonable reason for the life and death, see how I deal with you. If I can lift you up, I can throw you into the eighteenth level of hell!
Gao Bufan seemed to have not noticed Yang Guang's murderous intent hidden behind the gloomy gaze, and said a little embarrassedly: "Go back to the emperor, I suddenly remembered something just now, and I couldn't help but lose my etiquette before you. It's my fault!"
Everyone couldn't help but speechless. The emperor was ready to kill someone with murderous intent. You kid actually had other thoughts on other things. Just forget about other things, but you laughed out loud. Are you a cat? Have nine lives?
Yu Weng and Li Hun and Li Min were secretly happy, and their eyes looked like they were looking at Gao Bufan like a dead person.
Yang Guang said lightly when he heard this and asked with interest: "What's so funny? You might as well say it and make everyone happy!"
The calmer Yang Guang was, the more tense the atmosphere in the hall was, as if it was the tranquility before the storm came.
Gao Bufan said embarrassedly: "It's just the words of some common people in the city, and it's about the emperor. I'm worried that the emperor will be unhappy when he hears it."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the officials present were wonderful. They were actually saying that the emperor was about the emperor. Hey, this kid didn't think he was not dying fast enough, right?
"It's okay, I just want to hear how the people are talking about me!" Yang Guang said lightly.
Yang Qingruo's heart was almost jumping out of her throat, and she couldn't rush up to cover Gao Bufan's mouth. She could only bite her cherry lips, clench her pink fist, and silently prayed that this bastard would not commit suicide!
Gao Bufan seemed to have unconsciously realized that the sharp blade had already hung his neck and bowed, "That's the man who was brave. A few days ago, I arrived in Linqing to welcome the emperor's carriage. When I had nothing to do, I walked casually along the banks of the canal. Suddenly, I met two people rushing to harvest wheat in the field. These two people were a father and son. I guess they were tired of working. I sat on the field and drank water and rested and chatted. The son wiped his sweat and asked his father, "We are half tired from working in the field. I wonder what the emperor is doing now?"
"Then what, how did his father answer?" Yang Guang asked lightly, but he obviously sat upright, and Queen Xiao next to him looked very interested.
Gao Bufan smiled and said, "The father said, "Idiot, I still have to ask. The emperor naturally wore a golden hat, a golden straw raincoat, and used a golden sickle to harvest wheat in the field. It's like us, drinking water with a pottery bowl, and the emperor also used a golden bowl to drink water."
Queen Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then giggled, as if the branches were shaking. Yang Guang couldn't help laughing. With his smile, Xiao Sha's atmosphere in the hall suddenly faded a lot.
Yang Qingruo breathed a sigh of relief, finally let go of the big rock in his heart, and glared at someone with beautiful eyes.
Queen Xiao couldn't stop laughing. After a long time, she patted her plump breasts and gasped, "Master, do you have a golden hat, a golden straw raincoat and a golden sickle?"
Yang Guang said with a funny look: "How come I have those things? If the queen wants it, I can order the craftsmen to create a set, but you have to wear it and work on the ground!"
Queen Xiao giggled and said, "I can't do it!"
Yang Qingruo smiled and said, "The people are ignorant and probably don't know how heavy the gold is. When you wear a golden hat and a golden straw raincoat, ordinary people will be afraid that it will be difficult for them to walk."
Gao Bufan took the opportunity to say, "No, the people are shallow in their knowledge and only think that the emperor is rich and has endless wealth and wealth. The family must use expensive gold. They don't know that being an emperor also has the trouble of being an emperor. To manage tens of millions of people and maintain the normal operation of such a large country, how much energy should be consumed every day? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a daily business. Although the people are very hard to work in the fields, the emperor is not easy, and even more so!"
Yang Guang felt very comfortable when he heard this, and his face looked good. Queen Xiao nodded and praised: "It is rare that Gao Lang is so kind to the emperor. Being the emperor is really hard. Sometimes he can't rest when he reviews the memorials until midnight. The Ai family feels distressed when they see it!"
"The emperor is working hard for state affairs, and I am not at ease. I hope to take care of the dragon body!" Yu Shiji, the Minister of Internal Affairs, was the best at flattering. He immediately knelt down to express his loyalty when he saw this. Other ministers hurriedly knelt down and followed suit.
Seeing this, Yang Guang was very happy. When he looked at Gao Bufan again, he seemed to be much more pleasing to him. He raised his hand and said, "You guys, please be calm."
