"Ziyan, am I doing something wrong again?" Zhou Shanshan finally came to her senses and asked in a panic: "I'll go to His Majesty to admit my mistake and ask for his forgiveness." ”
"Shanshan, don't you make any more trouble, okay? Since you are emotionally unstable now, and when you see Your Majesty nervous, you may be talking nonsense again, so let's get a good night's sleep first, and then clear your mind. ”
"But Purple Smoke ......"
"Well, it looks like you're still choosing not to say anything. Shanshan, a lie needs a thousand lies to complete, until now you are still obsessed and lucky, and I can't say anything about you. I have already instructed the palace people to boil you a soothing soup, so you can rest later. ”
After Yuan Ziyan finished speaking, she walked out, and Zhou Shanshan's almost desperate shout came from behind, but she didn't stop and walked away, it was time for Zhou Shanshan to calm down for a while.
After going back, Yang Guang was still standing at the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, and there was no one else on the deck, reflecting Yang Guang's figure extremely lonely.
Yuan Ziyan walked over slowly and said softly: "Big brother, it's dark at night, why don't you go back and lie down?" ”
Yang Guang didn't answer, but turned his head and asked, "What did Shanshan tell you?" ”
"It's nothing, maybe she's under too much pressure and hasn't come out of the shadow of the water last time." Yuan Ziyan said vaguely.
"Arrogant and arrogant, she is as pitiful as she is today, it's really a trick."
Yang Guang suddenly sighed, and Yuan Ziyan asked puzzledly, "Big brother, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Ziyan, I am the king of a country, although I can't cover everything, but there are not many things I have heard and seen." Yang Guangda said meaningfully: "Just like you and I met for the first time in the pavilion, although it is a stranger, but with a little understanding, I can know how you are and what your character is." ”
Yuan Ziyan was confused, and just wanted to open her mouth and ask again, Yang Guang's next words made her understand the general meaning: "Shanshan was arrogant and unreasonable, lost her personal maid, and forced Zhen'er away, and she was embarrassed by you several times before and after entering the palace, and I have heard of it, so it was not just you who interfered with it before, and I was not pampered, but I knew that her heart was undecided." ”
Yuan Ziyan nodded, he really couldn't say anything, Yang Guang looked at the six roads and listened to all directions, and he had already lifted the bottom of these people to see the light of day, not to mention Zhou Shanshan, who had made a big noise several times.
"Later, when he swam in the lake, Shanshan fell into the water, and it was not an impulse for me to make him a concubine, his father was the lieutenant of Luoyang, and if his daughter was favored in the palace, he could do his best to maintain law and order in Luoyang, but I had no worries."
"Big brother, you can be regarded as a wise emperor." Yuan Ziyan said sincerely.
Yang Guang waved his hand, sighed slightly, and said: "The emperor is also flesh and blood, although Shanshan is stubborn, she is infatuated with me. Every time I feel unwell, I can't sleep in my clothes, take care of it day and night, and even suck pus in my mouth, even if it is a filial son, it is difficult for me to do this, I am deeply moved, I can ignore his past, but I hope that there is still someone in the world who truly loves you. ”
"Big brother, I understand."
"Ziyan, these women are dispensable to me, if it weren't for the illness, I hope this person is you." Yang Guang said, holding Yuan Ziyan's hand in the palm of his hand.
Yuan Ziyan lowered his head and was silent, a gust of night wind hit, and he felt a little cold, so he took the opportunity to withdraw his hand and divert the topic: "Your Majesty, just now the queen asked about today's noisy matter, and I don't know how to answer?" ”
"Just tell the truth." Yang Guang said lightly, the queen has a lot of eyeliner, and there are a lot of people present, how can such things be hidden from her?
"Well, what if she wants to punish Zhou Shanshan according to the law of the harem?" Yuan Ziyan asked again.
"Ziyan, it's not that I don't feel sorry for Shanshan, it's just that her heart is not open, and it's still herself who is embarrassed. For the sake of me, the queen will not punish her, it is nothing more than a forbidden copy of Buddhist scriptures and careful consideration. Shanshan should figure things out for herself, and she should also take responsibility for her own mistakes. Yang Guang said lightly.
The fleet headed southeast along the Tongji Canal, because of the large number of people, the number of female dependents, and the supply and maintenance of the ships, the fleet stopped and stopped, not in a hurry.
Unknowingly, more than four months have passed, Zhou Shanshan was locked up, and at the same time, there is a special imperial doctor to regulate her body, and the imperial doctor reports good news every day, it seems that Zhou Shanshan is improving.
It has passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the late autumn and October, and the north is already showing some cold meaning at this time on weekdays, but the south is the best season, just wear a single clothes, and the heat has passed, it should usher in the best vacation time of the year.
But it backfired, the Sui Dynasty was crumbling, the harem was in turmoil, and Yang Guang's last year or so can be said to have been spent in dire straits, which was extremely difficult.
In the same month, Xu Guogong Yu died of illness, Yang Guang was deeply saddened, cried for several days, did not think about tea and dinner, and also planned to arrange for Yu Wenhua and return to Luoyang to arrange the future.
"Your Majesty, before leaving, my father knew that his life was short, so he had already made this will, if he died when His Majesty went south, I could not return to Luoyang without authorization, let me be loyal to the monarch first, otherwise I would not recognize my son." Yu Wenhua was crying breathlessly, and while crying, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yang Guang by Yuan Ziyan.
Yang Guang watched it twice, tears welled up, and sighed: "It was my negligence, so how should I take care of the affairs after Xu Guogong's death?" ”
"When I was leaving, I had entrusted my second brother Yuwen Zhiji. Presumably, the second brother was already handling the funeral at this time, and after the first seven days, he would also rush to Jiangdu to protect His Majesty. "Yu culture and arch hand.
"Good, good!" Yang Guang nodded again and again, got up and personally helped Yu Wenhua, and said emotionally: "Aiqing will not live up to me, and I will not live up to Aiqing!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Yu Wenhua was moved to tears, wiped his tears and said: "Your Majesty, after receiving an urgent three-hundred-mile rush, Li Mi took refuge in Zhai Rang, recruited troops and horses, strengthened the team, and was known as the Wagang Army. Now the Wagang army took advantage of the time when we were waiting to go south, and actually raised an army of 100,000 to attack, and had already conquered Jindi Pass, and was now attacking Xingyang, and the people leading the army were the two thieves Zhai Ran and Li Mi! ”
Yang Guang frowned, and said: "I already know about this matter, and Yang Qing, the Taishou of Xingyang, has mobilized elite soldiers from all over the country to resist with all their might. ”
"Your Majesty, Yang Qing is arrogant and arrogant, if he fails to defend the city and loses Xingyang, Luoyang will be in danger." Yu Wenhua said.
"According to Aiqing's words, what should I do?" Yang Guang asked.
"In the past, General Zhang Xutuo had defeated Zhai Rang, and this time he sent troops to deter the rebels and return with a great victory." Yu Wenhua said, it seems that he has analyzed these things a long time ago.
Yang Guang seemed a little hesitant: "Zhang Xutuo is the pillar of my Great Sui, so Zhai asked Li Mi and others not to endanger the vital city, and sent General Zhang to send troops, isn't it overkill?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's okay to send someone else, but if a battle is unfavorable, it will boost the morale of the rebels. The minister thought that General Zhang personally exterminated the rebels, and he would definitely strengthen the power of the Great Sui, and Zhai Rang would definitely be frightened when he heard it, and it was possible to retreat without a fight. ”
After some careful consideration, Yang Guang finally made up his mind to send Xingyang Taishou Yang Qing and Tongshou Zhang Xutuo to join forces and attack the Wagang army led by Zhai Ran and Li Mi together!
Undoubtedly, this was a wrong decision made by Yang Guang, and it indirectly hastened the demise of the Sui Dynasty.
Zhang Xutuo was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, loyal to the emperor, and strict military discipline, all of his subordinates were unconvinced, and his majesty was terrifying, which made the enemy frightened. Indeed, as Yu Wenhua said, these generals dealt with two anti-thief leaders, not to mention that they had also defeated Zhai Rang, the leader of Wagangzhai, so this battle should be a small test of the knife, a sure victory, and at the same time deter other heroes who are ready to move.
But because of this, Zhang Xutuo didn't take Zhai Rang and Li Mi seriously at all, and was too conceited, only bringing 50,000 elite soldiers, equivalent to half of the enemy's army. Zhang Xutuo decided that he, a regular ace teacher, would be able to easily defeat Zhai Rang's rabble.
It seems that this is also the case, Zhai Rang saw that it was Zhang Xutuo who led the army to come, as if he was frightened, and fled all the way, leaving countless pots and stoves, grain and grass, and many soldiers ran away without a trace before they even fought.
Zhang Xutuo laughed when he heard this, and continued to pursue deeply, and at the same time played the successive good news to Yang Guang, who was still heading south.
Yang Guang was also very happy to receive the fold, and on this day, he said with a smile on the dragon boat court: "Wagangzhai has an empty name, but it is actually vulnerable. ”
"With General Zhang coming forward in person, then Zhai Rang only has the ability to escape, how can he still have the power to parry." The ministers headed by Yu Shiji flattered and slack.
But Pei Ju didn't speak, his brows were tightly locked, and he looked thoughtful. Yang Guang noticed this phenomenon and couldn't help asking, "Why is Pei Qing worried?" ”
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because Zhai Rang was defeated too quickly that the minister is worried." Pei Ju said.
"Oh?" Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Come on." ”
"Your Majesty, General Zhang Xutuo's reputation is far and wide, there is no doubt that Zhai Rang was also defeated by his men, and it is understandable that he was frightened without a fight. However, Li Mi is quite courageous, and he was once a fugitive general of Yang Xuangan, and he knows the characteristics of my Great Sui generals, if it is a plan to lure the enemy in, then General Zhang may have to worry about his life. Pei Ju said with a straight face.
Yang Guang was silent, of course he didn't want Zhang Xutuo to make any mistakes, and at this time, Yu Wenhua and said: "Master Pei is really alarmist, even if it is an enemy strategy, but General Zhang is experienced in a hundred battles and is full of experience, how can he not even know this little skill of carving insects?" ”
"Lord Yuwen, Zhai Rang has a hesitant temperament, and he likes to be suspicious, greedy for money and lustful, and he is not without trouble. However, Li Mi managed the army with strict discipline, and the wealth obtained was always distributed to everyone, so most of his subordinates were willing to serve him, and the number of 100,000 troops was not small! Pei Ju was too lazy to talk to Yu Wenhua, and said sincerely: "Since Zhai Rang has already retreated, it is better to recall General Zhang, and wait for His Majesty to return to Luoyang in the coming year, and then make plans before it is too late!" ”
