Chapter 3990 (1/2)
Yang Chengben, the imperial historian, was not the old one who followed Xiaodi from Lingdong. He was born in a small family in fenggeyu. After the Shenwu Kingdom unified Dongzhou, he was the first to surrender to Emperor Xiaodi. During the conquest of fenggeyu by Shenwu Kingdom, he made great contributions. For this reason, he was able to become a prime minister and enter the Shenwu domestic Pavilion.
His family was originally a small family in Fengge area. Because of Yang Cheng's rising status in Shenwu, his family became the first-class family in Fengge area. Even the Feng family had to be afraid.
I don't know why, after the war between the central holy state and Shenwu state, Yang Cheng was the first to stand up and try his best to make peace with emperor Xiao.
And to this end, he did not know how to persuade a group of ministers in the court and tens of thousands of families in Lingnan imperial city.
However, Yang Cheng knew that it was not something that could be done overnight to get his majesty Xiao to agree to the policy of peace. So he insisted on seeking peace almost whenever he had the chance. In the short two or three years, Yang Cheng had played for more than 100 times. Although Xiao emperor said that he would discuss it again in the future, Yang Cheng did not give up.
In the past, every time Yang Cheng played for peace, Chu River was the first to stand up against it.
Therefore, Yang Cheng has always regarded the Chu River as a thorn in his flesh. Today, he managed to seize the river stream and lead his troops to the palace. He thought he could pull down the river at one stroke, but he didn't expect that Lin Bai's words made Yang Cheng shiver!
”Lord Yang Cheng, you have sued two kings of Shenwu and Guochao in one breath. They are very powerful officials.”
”Even if the Imperial Academy has the responsibility of supervising all civil and military officials, is it damaging to the reputation of the imperial historian if you hold power and falsely accuse it?”
Lin Bai, with a smile on his face, said to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng was pale and sweating. He kowtowed to Emperor Xiao in a hurry and called out: ”Your Majesty's enlightenment, your Majesty's mirror. I'm dedicated to the Shenwu kingdom. I'm absolutely not selfish. Please forgive me.”
Behind Yang Cheng's back, a group of literary ministers also cried and howled: ”Your Majesty, Lord Yang Cheng's loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon.”
”Your Majesty, please forgive Lord Yang Cheng once more.”
”Your grace, please.”
The courtiers pleaded with tears, and the whole court was filled with grief.
It's like if Xiao emperor killed Yang Cheng, he lost a pillar of Shenwu kingdom!
Hearing the courtship of many ministers, Xiao emperor had no expression and looked at Lin Bai lightly. His eyes seemed to ask Lin Bai how to deal with it.
Lin Bai laughs and ignores it. He opens the memorial handed by Yang Cheng in his hand: ”Lord Yang Cheng's second play is to build a temple for the vagrant ascetic monks. It's also named Huguo temple, right?”
Yang Cheng had already kowtowed his head with blood. Hearing Lin Bai's words, he said with a shudder: ”yes, this can not only show the imperial demeanor of our Shenwu Kingdom, but also make his Majesty's benevolence spread all over the world.”
Lin Bai snorted: ”Mr. Yang Cheng, what is the foundation of our Shenwu country?”
Yang Cheng a Leng, after careful thinking, replied: ”Shenwu country, to build a country with Wu.”
”Since the country was founded by armed forces, why should monks come to protect the country?” Lin Bai sneered: ”they are ascetics from Xizhou. Do you know what an ascetic is? He is an ascetic monk who does not fear the past, does not fear the future, is not greedy for glory and wealth, does not expect to be prosperous. The heaven is the quilt, the ground is the bed, the rest and the rain, sleeping on the river bank. He is an ascetic
”Since the kingdom of Shenwu was founded by martial arts, Lord Yang Cheng actually proposed to cultivate a Huguo temple.”
”Is it a crime of treason?”
