Chapter 120: Blackmail

On this day, the news of Li Yuan's peace talks reached Yecheng!

"Li Yuan wants peace talks? What to talk about? What is there to talk about? ”

"Pei Ju, the secretary of the Li Tang Rite Department, was an envoy and put forward a proposal for reconciliation, saying that the army led by Pei Lin would withdraw from Taiyuan City, and Li Tang's ships would pick them up from Lishi County, and then, give us a complete Taiyuan City." Yang Gongren was speechless, stiff, and had a bitter expression.

Everyone's faces suddenly turned red, and one by one, their expressions were strangely distorted!

Yang Tong laughed and said, "If you want to laugh, laugh!" It's not good to suffocate. ”

In a split second!

The whole hall was plunged into a sea of joy.

After a long time, Wei Zheng said solemnly: "Your Highness, Pei Ju is deeply respected by Emperor Taizongwu, so he has achieved Xiangguo step by step!" But he didn't want to serve the country, and he actually became the envoy of the Li thief, and according to the minister's opinion, he was simply cut off for the crime of a traitor. ”

"Reconsideration! This traitor and traitor must not be tolerated! Kong Yingda was so angry that he couldn't wait to be the executioner.

Yang Tong Khan.

To be honest, he really didn't want to kill Pei Ju.

Pei Ju is not wrong. Everything is because of Yang Guang's style of doing things, which caused today's Pei Ju.

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, which has created the birth of many traitors.

Take Yu Shiji as an example!

This was originally a first-class capable minister, and when Yang Guang had not yet abandoned the government, he was a person who could speak out, such as asking the emperor to reward the soldiers and suspend the war against Liaodong, which were all correct propositions. Even if Yang Guang was hot-headed or even fainted later, he could still ask Yang Guang to send troops to Tunluokoucang to be prepared, which was quite far-sighted, but when one famous minister was killed one after another because of his direct advice, Yu Shiji "fell" and became an out-and-out sycophant.

Pei Ju is even more impressive.

He was a famous diplomat and strategist of the Great Sui, who had used a divisive strategy to split the Turks, weakening its strength through internal friction, thereby reducing the threat to the Central Plains. In addition, Pei Ju was also a famous geographer, who wrote three volumes of "Atlas of the Western Regions", recording the geographical data of the 44 countries in the Western Regions. The evil king Shi Zhixuan in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was created based on him.

What's even more awesome is that in the tenth year of the emperor's reign, Pei Ju was edicted to patrol Lingnan, and he had not yet set off, Gao Zhizhi and Wang Wenjin made a rebellion in Jiangnan, and there was a slang marshal Wang Zhong Xuan's troops to besiege Zhou Shiju in Donghengzhou. He Pei Ju, a literati, led 3,000 troops of mixed good and bad to relieve the siege of Hengzhou first, successively defeated the rebels in Da Yuling and Yuan Changling, beheaded Zhou Shiju, and fought all the way to the South China Sea.

It's really bad.

is such a diplomat and a capable minister who is both civil and military, and in the later period of the Daye Dynasty, he forced Yang Guang to play an old oilman.

Who is to blame?

Blame Yang Guang.

In the era of the great chaos in the world and the uprising of the rebel army, Pei Ju was still loyal, and he told Yang Guang the truth about the news of the rebellion, but Yang Guang was furious and punished, and Pei Ju, who was well versed in the way of self-preservation, could only please him, and did not dare to admonish him.

Later, Jiangdu Xiaoguo was homesick and fled Jiangdu one after another. It was still Pei Jujin who suggested that the widows and unmarried women in Jiangdu should be given to the soldiers, so that they could start a family in Jiangdu, and the morale of the Jiangdu Xiaoguo army could gradually stabilize.

Such a meritorious talent did not live up to Yang Guang's respect, but Yang Guang himself did not give him another chance to be loyal to the Great Sui.

Now that Yang Guang is dead, Pei Ju has become an ownerless minister, what is wrong with surrendering Li Yuan?

"Pei Ju once contributed to the society and the nation, and his surrender to Li Tang was also a matter after the death of Emperor Taizongwu! We are not from the dynasty of Emperor Taizongwu, and he is not my courtier... Just as the first time I met, it was enough to see him as an envoy of Li Tang! The exchange between the two countries, not to kill the envoys is an ancient precept, if we kill Pei Ju, it will be too unimpressive for the lord of the world. When it comes to the battlefield, it is even more magnificent to capture and kill it. ”

When Yang Tong said this, his eyes were like eagles looking down on the common people, and his whole body was filled with a sense of arrogance.

"Your Highness!" Yang Gongren agreed.

Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda invariably glanced at Yang Gongren, daring to love grandpa and becoming a stingy ghost.

Fang Xuanling asked with a smile: "Your Highness, how do you reply to Pei Ju?" ”

He, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, is now also the mission of the Ministry of Rites, and in the words of Yang Gongren, those who can work harder.

"Tell him truthfully, Taiyuan City has fallen into the hands of my Great Sui! Pei Lian, Pei Yang, Li Shentong, Li Shuliang, Li Deliang, Duan Lun, Li Zhongwen and other civil and military officials, as well as Li Yuan's sister and brother-in-law's family, sold for 2 million stone grain and 1 million taels of gold, and gave Li Shenfu and Shi Wanbao two corpses for free! ”

“……”

It's so dark!

"Can Li Yuan agree?"

Yang Tong smiled faintly, "Let everyone in the whole Guanzhong know that Li Yuan wants to trade with us, but he just ransoms Pei Lian, Li Shentong, Li Shuliang, Li Deliang, Duan Lun and his brother-in-law's family, regardless of the life or death of ordinary soldiers." ”

Yang Gongren, Fang Xuanling, Yang Shidao, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Jiang Xingben, Liu Zhenghui, and Ling Jing passed their eyes to each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes, they knew that Yang Tong would definitely open his mouth this time, but he didn't expect such a huge amount. Suddenly, they all had a feeling that they were too honest. Especially Yang Shidao and Ling Jing, who are in charge of money, feel it even more, they try their best to open up sources and reduce expenditure, but they are not as good as Yang Tong's ruthless tricks.

With such a force, Li Yuan can't redeem it, and after this calculation, the results are really amazing.

"Can he afford it?" Fang Xuanling's thoughts were a little short-circuited.

Yang Tong was speechless and said, "What are you talking about?" Guanlong's magnates have money and grain, and Li Yuan is rich. ”

"Hey, hey!" Fang Xuanling sneered.

"Gather all the disabled and seriously injured soldiers from the state to Hedong County! Sold to Li Yuan together. These people were wounded in battle with our army, and we are not obliged to provide for them...... The lonely and widowed old people were also caused by Li Yuan, and we have no obligation to provide for them! By the way, the disabled and seriously injured soldiers and lonely old people who originally belonged to Liu Wuzhou were also gathered, and all of them were raised by Li Yuan, a bastard! When trading, it was all his Li Yuan's soldiers. ”

When the people heard this, they were a little embarrassed.

It's just that although the means are darker and more ruthless, they can throw the heavy burden to Li Yuan.

"Anyway! There are not enough people, and the corpses come to make up. ”

The people sweated heavily.

Don't even spare the corpse?

However, everyone also knows that Yang Tong is just talking, in this hot day, the corpses have long been burned to ashes.

If you don't deal with it, wait for the plague to happen?

got Yang Tong's idea, and Fang Xuanling, who acted as the Ministry of Rites, went to meet Pei Ju aggressively.
