Chapter 236: Yang Guang's hesitation
、、、、、、、、、、
After Pei Renji heard this, he also nodded and said: "It is possible that what Xing Yan said, since the Holy Lord put down the rebellion of the Yuan Clan and the Dugu Clan, he has frequently mobilized large armies to the north. He first ordered Li Yuan to stay behind and take charge of Hedong affairs, and then ordered Wang Rengong to be stationed in Mayi to be responsible for the defense of Fengzhou, Dingxiang, Hetao and other places. At the same time, he asked Li Jing to return to Dunhuang...... At present, our Great Sui has been on the front line from Dunhuang to Zhuo County, with more than 500,000 soldiers, not including the soldiers and horses in Liaodong. I think the intention of the Holy One is self-evident, that is, to attack the Eastern Turks! ”
Pei Renyan continued to say respectfully at this time: "What my father said is that Shibi Khan is anxious to go south, and His Majesty wants to go north...... When two people want to fight, a little spark can make the flames of war burn in no time. And if the imperial court wants to use troops against the Turks, Yu Ming, who has repeatedly made military exploits, is naturally one of the candidates for the main general. At this time, it is logical to suggest to His Majesty that Yuming be transferred back to the Eastern Capital and appointed as the commander or deputy commander of the expedition against the Turks! ”
As soon as his words fell, everyone applauded, saying that this was a good reason. This suggestion is in line with the Holy Spirit's wishes.
"That's okay! I have also heard about His Majesty's intention to use troops against the Turks. If Diao Yuming comes back and gives him a bigger official position, it won't be an insult to him! Pei Ju nodded slightly, but even though he was a little worried, he said: "However, it is a bit troublesome to send someone to replace Yuming, if this person's prestige is low, I am afraid that he will not be able to suppress the officers and soldiers of Liaodong, if the prestige is very high, then the position in the court and the central government must not be low, and people may not be willing to go to the bitter cold place of Liaodong to take up a job." ”
Pei Yun rolled his eyes at this time, and said with a happy face: "Big brother, I think of someone who can replace Yuming and go to Liaodong to take office!" During the suppression of the rebellion of the Yuan clan and the Dugu clan, this person interviewed me many times and expressed his like-mindedness to our Pei clan. And this person is also a senior person in the army, with rich experience in officialdom, and should be able to calm the scene! ”
"Oh? Brother Yun come quickly, who is this person? Pei Ju asked with interest.
Pei Yun hurriedly said: "This person is the general of the Right Wuwei, Jiangnan recruited Chen Ling." When he conquered the Jianghuai bandit Du Fuwei last year, due to a series of defeats, the army suffered heavy casualties, lost many cities, and was almost beheaded by His Majesty. Fortunately, he was born in Jiangnan and was considered a military general with high prestige among the non-Guanlongmen lords. His Majesty did not behead him out of consideration for balancing the forces in the army. But Chen Ling has also lost the opportunity to lead troops to fight since then, and has been left out in the cold in the military department. He was unwilling to be idle, so he always wanted to throw himself into his father and make a comeback. ”
"Hmmm! Then Brother Yun, you should contact him, let him prepare to go to Liaodong to take up his post, and report this matter to His Majesty early tomorrow morning, and propose that he be the Liaodong guard. Pei Ju nodded and said.
……
Early the next morning, Pei Ju came to the palace early and waited for the early dynasty.
After Yang Guang entered the main hall, the ministers knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted long live, Yue Zengxing pulled a rooster-like voice and shouted: "Something to start, nothing to retreat!" ”
"Slow! Something to do! Pei Ju hurriedly came out of the queue and said.
"What's the matter with Pei Aiqing?" Yang Guang asked with squinted eyes. He and Yang Luoqi discussed for a long time last night about the growth and decline of the various factions in the DPRK and China, and in the opinion of his daughter Yang Luoqi, now the Guanlongmen valve has been greatly weakened, and the power of the Shandong Shi clan is growing rapidly, if it is not suppressed, this Shandong Shi clan may become the second Guanlongmen valve.
Moreover, the reason why Yang Guang was relieved of the Shandong Shi clan in the past was because no one in the Shandong Shi clan held military power. But now the Pei family, the largest family in Shandong, has emerged two famous generals, Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan's father, and at the same time has the support of Luo Yi in Beiping.
Pei Ju was unaware of the change in Yang Guang's mind, and he immediately told Yang Guang his analysis, believing that now that Liaodong has been pacified, the county system should be implemented and incorporated into the unified management of the imperial court, and Yuming should not be stationed in Liaodong for a long time.
Now that Tuyuhun and Goryeo have been defeated, and Silla and Ji and the Liaodong grassland tribes do not pose a threat to the Sui Dynasty (he does not know that the grassland tribes in northeastern Liaodong and Silla and Ji have been destroyed), it is better to choose another trustworthy general to take over the post left behind in Liaodong, and set up counties in Liaodong and incorporate them into the local establishment, so that the Great Sui can get one more territory similar to Tuyuhun.
Then he recommended Chen Ling, saying that although he was not good at fighting, he had always been loyal to the imperial court after all, and he was not a Guanlongmen valve, he was born in a Jiangnan family, had deep qualifications in the army, and had rich experience in officialdom. As for Yu Ming, he was very familiar with the situation of the Ministry because he had been an envoy to the Turks. He also has rich combat experience. He could be transferred back to the Eastern Capital to prepare for the war against the Turks.
When Yang Guang heard this, he also felt that it made sense, and he couldn't believe in Yuhua in his bones, but he saw that Yuhua and Yuming had been quite honest in the past two years, and they didn't show any intention of rebellion, especially Yuming, but he had made great contributions to him, so he was a little relieved.
But he also thinks that after a long time, even if Yuming himself has no intentions, but under the encouragement of his subordinates and family elders, he will inevitably have the possibility of becoming the second Yang Xuangan. Listening to Pei Ju now, I suddenly felt that it was more appropriate to arrange it like this.
When Yu Huaji heard it next to him, he immediately became a little anxious, before he and the eldest grandson Wuji had received a secret letter from Yuming's people, asking them to try their best to prevent Yang Guang from dealing with Liaodong. Among them, it was talked about the possibility that Yang Guang might transfer him.
And Yuming is not only his son, but also an important part of his preparation for rebellion. According to his arrangement, after he started an incident in the south of the Yangtze River, Yuming raised troops in Liaodong again, and his father and his father echoed in the north and south to attack the Central Plains. If Yu Ming is transferred back to the Eastern Capital, it means that his previous efforts in Liaodong will come to naught. In this way, when the world is contested in the future, Yuvalve will lose the opportunity.
It's just that as Yuming's father, in this case, it is naturally not very convenient for him to come forward to speak for his son. So, Yu Huahe hurriedly glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and motioned for him to defend Yu Ming.
The eldest grandson Wuji understood, and hurriedly said: "Pei Xiangguo, your analysis has some truth. It's just that General Yu has just pacified Goryeo, and on the steppes in northeastern Liaoning, there are five tribes such as Khitan, Tiele, Heishui, Sumo, and Xi. To the southeast of Liaoning, there are also two countries, Ji and Silla, which threaten security. Liaodong is far from being able to sit back and relax. If the main general is changed rashly at this time, it is very likely that the generals will not know the soldiers, and the soldiers will not know the generals, which will lead to the invasion of foreign enemies and make Liaodong return to chaos. Therefore, Weichen thought that it was better to let General Yu lead the troops in Liaodong! ”
When Yang Guang heard it, he felt that what the eldest grandson Wuji said was also very reasonable. Goryeo has just been destroyed, and Liaodong must completely settle down, but I am afraid that it will take time, and the generals will be changed at this time, and the soldiers and horses of Liaodong may not be under the command of the new generals. Moreover, if the court did this, would it make Yuming feel that he was already wary of him, causing him to be dissatisfied? He was also very worried that if he did this, it would make Yuming deviate from morality, and the worst might cause him to support his army and stand on his own feet and rebel.
After Pei Ju heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he smiled slightly and said, "If I am not mistaken, the eldest grandson is General Yu's uncle!" Although what you say is also true. But in Pei's view, it is unfounded. It's not that I don't have any other generals except for Yuming. My suggestion is actually a well-intentioned ...... for General Yu to return to the Eastern Capital to reunite with his family! ”
"It's okay! Those of us who are ministers should serve the country and share worries for Your Majesty, and only when there is a country can there be a home! Although Weichen feels very sorry for this son, but now that the war in Liaodong is not completely over, I, the father, also support him to stay in Liaodong and guard the frontier for the Great Sui Town! Seeing this, Yuhua said busily.
Immediately afterwards, Pei Renji and Pei Yun also spoke in support of Pei Ju's opinion. The ministers of the Guanlongmen valve mostly supported the retention of Yuming in Liaodong.
Yang Guang couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw that the ministers of the court and the central government were arguing like this about this matter. After thinking for a moment, Fang said lightly: "Yuming should indeed be rewarded, but whether to transfer it back to the Eastern Capital will be discussed tomorrow!" ”
With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Seeing that the emperor had left, Yue Zeng hurriedly raised his voice and shouted, "Retreat now!" ”
The ministers shouted long live, and then turned around and left one by one.
Pei Ju also walked outside the hall, he never expected Yuhua and the eldest grandson Wuji to oppose so much. So much so that Yang Guang didn't agree on the spot.
Just as he was thinking about how to convince Yang Guang, he suddenly felt someone gently tap him on the shoulder.
Pei Ju looked back, but saw that it was Yue Zeng Province.
"Father-in-law!" He hurriedly made a series.
"Pei Xiangguo, Your Majesty asked our family to inform you, please go to the imperial study!" Yue Zeng said with a smile.
Pei Ju was overjoyed in his heart, and he secretly thought, it seems that the saint still trusts him the most.
After following Yue Zeng Province into the imperial study, he saw Yang Guangzheng sitting on the dragon chair looking at a bunch of folds.
At this time, Yang Guang saw Pei Ju coming in, so he raised his head and said to Yue Zeng: "Give Pei Xiangguo a seat!" ”
Yue Zeng ordered a small supervisor to bring a chair for Pei Ju and served two cups of steaming tea. Then he left the imperial study.
"Pei Xiangguo, your suggestion in the early dynasty was actually very heartfelt. It's just that in this way, it is inevitable to gossip about people, saying that I crossed the river and broke the bridge, and the birds hid their bows. In the future, when the Turks are conquered again, I am afraid that the soldiers will not work hard. Yang Guang said with a worried face.
When Pei Ju heard this, he was relieved, knowing that Yang Guang had actually agreed with his opinion, and he just wanted to find a suitable reason.
