Chapter 050: Yang Guang lost his mind
When Jizhou was booming, a major event occurred in the Central Plains that shocked the world, and Li Mi, who had accumulated a lot of money, took advantage of Wang Shichong's entry into Dongjun to quell the rebellion, and led Wagang 'Pushan Gongying' to smuggle across the canal, conquer the entire territory of Xingyang, and defeat the main force of Luoyang led by Duan Da and Liu Changgong in Yangcheng, Henan County! Then he crossed Fangshan and attacked Luokou Cang from Luokou, seizing the first warehouse of the Great Sui that had restocked millions of quintals of grain in one fell swoop.
Li Mi announced in Luokoucang that the world would release grain, and the people of more than a dozen counties in Henan Province heard the news, and the government did not dare to ask, the county soldiers hid weapons, and the young and strong people in each county enthusiastically joined the army, so that Li Mi recruited more than 100,000 elite soldiers in just a few days, and the total strength of Wagangzhai reached 400,000 again, and the momentum was huge.
After that, Li Miwei went to the world and summoned all the anti-thieves in the Central Plains to use the grain, so the anti-thieves in the Central Plains arrived, and Li Mi's Pushan public camp had gathered two or three hundred thousand people in a short period of time.
The loss of Luokou warehouse not only shook the Central Plains, but also plunged the eastern capital of Luoyang into extreme panic, and the price of grain rose sharply from 300 yuan to a penny overnight, and there was a rising trend, because the grain hoarded in Luoyang by the major families had already been bought clean by the 'merchants' of Jizhou at a 'high price' of four hangings.
Luoyang has no danger outside, and there are no elite soldiers and food inside, so it is said that there are as many as 100 officials who are sick and on leave.
This is also Li Mi's second fair appearance after hiding for a few years, he announced himself as the second person in Wagangzhai as the representative of the Guanlong magnates, this kidnapping Guanlong magnates is a clever trick, like the finishing touch, reaching the peak of momentum, attracting the attention of the world and the turmoil of the world.
After Li Mi occupied Luokoucang, he ordered the construction of Xingluocheng again, and the surrounding area was forty miles, which expanded Luokoucang several times. overhauled the barracks and trenches, coerced Luoyang, and also wrote a letter to various counties to announce Yang Guang's crimes.
When the news reached Jiangdu, the whole city was shocked.
People are panicking!
In the palace, when Yang Guang heard the news, the cup in his hand fell directly to the ground, and he was stunned for a long time, unable to say anything.
Yang Guang sat in the palace in a daze, he was stunned for a long time.
He just felt like he had lost too much, too much.
Yang Yichen worked hard to finally deliver a message to the palace.
A palace maid met Empress Xiao: "Yang Shangshu said that the Xiaoguo army is not very stable, please send an order to the emperor to check the officers." ”
Empress Xiao exclaimed: "Lord Yang knows who is going to rebel, is there any evidence?" ”
The palace maid shook her head and said, "Lord Yang just said that the Xiaoguo army is the henchman of the saint, and if there is chaos, it will be dangerous, so the loyalty of this army must be guaranteed." ”
Empress Xiao got up and said, "I'll go to see the saint, you come with me." ”
The two met Yang Guang face to face, and when Empress Xiao finished speaking, Yang Guang glared at her and said, "Now that everyone is going to rebel, how can Yang Yichen's words be believed?" He must have wanted to sow discord between me and the Xiaoguo Army. ”
Empress Xiao strongly advised: "Shengshang, Yang Shangshu will definitely not be like this, and ask Shengshang to investigate carefully, even if it is to summon him into the palace to talk." ”
Yang Guangdao: "Didn't I already let Yang Yichen think about it behind closed doors? How did he talk to you? Could it be that you used the name of Yang Yichen to separate me and the Xiaoguo Army? ”
After Yang Yichen arrived, he picked what he didn't want to hear! Yang Guang was furious and had already imprisoned him.
Empress Xiao was helpless, so she had to say that Yang Yichen managed to get a palace maid to pass a message to her.
"Bring that maid in."
When the palace maid was brought in in with trepidation, Yang Guang didn't listen to her a word.
"How can you, a palace maid, manage this kind of thing? You have made friends with foreign ministers privately, and it is a capital crime! Someone pulled out and hanged! ”
"Holy Lord, why bother with a little palace maid? No matter what, she is also a good saint and a good Sui. "Empress Xiao pleaded hard for the palace maid.
Yang Guang said with a cold face: "The rules are getting worse and worse when the world is chaotic, I want to punish these people well!" ”
The palace maid screamed and begged for mercy, but she was still dragged down and hanged.
Empress Xiao's heart was extremely cold, and the emperor was extremely hideous at this time, and he was no longer the King of Jin she knew.
"Don't worry about the outside world in the future, I have my own opinions!" Yang Guang said coldly to Empress Xiao.
Empress Xiao smiled bitterly and retired.
She knew that Yang Guang had given up!
In fact, she knew that after the Siege of Yanmen incident, Yang Guang had changed, first he lost his trust in the division of King Qin, and the promised reward was not to be given, and Yang Guang, who was disgraced, was depressed and had lost the courage and confidence to reorganize the rivers and mountains. The once ambitious and aggressive Emperor Daye no longer exists, and he just wants to escape from reality and flee to the south of the Yangtze River in order to find a corner of peace.
After his death, the Great Sui had nothing to do with him. As for whether Da Sui can pass it on, it has nothing to do with him. Therefore, when the situation is getting worse and worse, he executes and deposes some upright old ministers, and now he just wants to spend this life quietly and satisfactorily.
When Empress Xiao returned to the palace, another palace maid came to pass the word.
Empress Xiao said bitterly to the palace maid, "If you call Yang Shangshu back, just say that there is no way to save the situation in the world at this point, don't say anything in the future, don't bother the saint, tell Yang Shangshu, and say: If you anger the saint, you will be punished and angry." ”
The palace maid was stunned, took out a letter from her arms, and said, "Niangniang, it's not Yang Shangshu!" It was the King of Qin who transferred it to Niangniang through General Mai Mengcai. ”
"Letter from Dong'er?"
"Yes!"
Empress Xiao smiled bitterly when she heard this, a dignified grandson wrote a letter to his grandmother, and he had to pass it on through outsiders, so I really don't know how bad the situation outside is. From this, it can also be imagined that the officials of Jiangdu have concealed a lot of important things that she does not know.
And all of this was Yang Guang's refusal to admonish, which made the loyal ministers and good generals dare not speak out, which made the traitorous ministers in charge.
Empress Xiao sighed faintly, opened the letter and looked at it, her face changed greatly, Yang Tong said in the letter: Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenzhi, Sima Dekan and others all have a heart of disobedience, let Yang Guang be careful! and said that if Yang Guang did not listen to persuasion, please ask Empress Xiao to try to save herself, if something big really happens, Mai Mengcai and Qian Jie will take advantage of the chaos to lead loyal soldiers and pick them up.
Empress Xiao's first thought was to report to Yang Guang, but after only taking a few steps, she sighed again!
Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenzhi, Sima Dekan, Ma Wenju and others mentioned by Yang Tong in the letter are all high-level generals of the Xiaoguo Army and are the most trusted people by Yang Guang...... I thought: If the saint sees this letter, not only will he not listen to Dong'er, but I am afraid he will also say that Dong'er is unfaithful... The saint is now unreliable, and instead of regenerating, it is better to silently prepare for the arrival of danger.
With this in mind, Empress Xiao burned the letter and asked the palace maids to contact Mai Mengcai and Qian Jie, so that they could secretly gather loyal people.
