Chapter 90: Yang Xuangan's Secret

When the golden sunlight shone in through the window, Yu Wenming finally woke up. He looked to his side, but saw that the eldest grandson Wujian was gone, and beside the bedside, there was a white silk dyed red, which was the result of her first taste of rain and dew last night.

Yu Wenming got up with a bone, but heard the door "creak" open, only to see the eldest grandson Wujian walking in with a towel and a basin of water, but her walking posture was a little awkward, thinking that it was a little painful after breaking the melon last night.

"Husband, are you up so soon? The concubine still wants you to sleep a little longer. Eldest Sun Wujian said with a little surprise.

After getting married, her name and self-title for Yu Wenming also changed, which made Yu Wenming a little uncomfortable at first.

Then she dipped the towel in water and tried to wipe her face.

Yu Wenming felt pity in his heart, and hurriedly snatched the towel and said: "Wuji, I can come by myself, you are so gentle and considerate to me, it really makes me a little ashamed and flattered." ”

He knows very well that the eldest grandson Wujian is the daughter of the family, and she has been pampered since she was a child, and she has never done any rough work. But she actually brought her face wash water for herself, how considerate she was, which also shows her affection for herself. Only when a woman truly loves a man will she feel that doing anything for him is worth it.

After washing his face, Yu Wenming looked at the eldest grandson Wujian who had just changed from a girl to a young woman, and felt that she had more of the charm of a mature woman, and there was a coquettishness in her bones. He couldn't help but be stupid for a while.

Seeing Yu Wenming looking at him stupidly, the eldest grandson Wujian couldn't help but wonder and said, "Husband, why do you keep looking at me?" It can't be that the concubine's face hasn't been washed, right? ”

When Yu Wenming heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "How could it be?" In fact, you were born so beautiful that I couldn't help it...... Alas, I just know what it means to be 'the most difficult beauty to eliminate', with your wife, I have nothing to ask for in this life......"

The eldest grandson Wujian smiled "poof", that smile was enough to melt the ice and snow in winter, and she said with a burst of shame on her face: "The husband actually played a poor mouth with the concubine......"

……

Yu Wenming's newlywed happy days did not last long, and a few months after the wedding, Yang Guang ordered the mobilization of people and horses to drive to Liaodong.

This time, Yang Guang obviously learned a lesson, was relatively well prepared, and did not send all the country's soldiers and horses to the front line.

First, Liaodong is a narrow region, and it is impossible to deploy so many troops.

Second, sending so many troops to the front line could not afford the food, after all, during the expedition to Goryeo last year, most of the grain in the northern official warehouse had been consumed.

And the third and most important point is that the northern counties are full of bandits, uprisings continue, and the emergency documents of the counties in Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other places are all snowflakes thrown into the eastern capital, which makes Yang Guang have to transfer Zhang Xutuo, Li Jing, Wang Shichong and other generals to quell the rebellion.

However, what surprised Yang Guang was that the nobles of the family who actively participated in the battle of Liaodong last year all retreated this time. No one is as active as they used to be. Especially the Guanlongmen valve, after the mobilization order was issued, none of them took the initiative to ask for war. This made Yang Guang furious.

After he gave repeated orders, he made a promise of reward, promising that there would be no more overseers who were allowed to lead generals by surrendering envoys. Only then did the major families barely dispel their doubts.

But at this time, there was a big problem: there was not enough food and grass!

Last year, he conscripted a large number of people to Liaodong to expedition to Goryeo, which not only consumed a large amount of grain stored in the official warehouse, but also greatly affected the grain cultivation in the north. Therefore, last autumn's autumn grain harvest was only half of that of previous years.

As a result, the food in various places can only barely be enough to eat themselves, so where can there be more food to support the front line?

Yang Guang, who was anxious, hurriedly convened a court meeting to discuss the issue of military rations.

But what he didn't expect was that many people at the meeting opposed another attack on Goryeo, believing that they should rest and recuperate, and focus on quelling the rebellion of the displaced people in various places.

However, Yang Guang, who was eager to weaken the Guanlongmen valve and save face, could not listen. Just when he was a little angry, Yang Xuangan took the initiative to ask Ying to prepare food.

Yang Guang was overjoyed and appointed Yang Xuangan as the inspector of the seven counties of Henan, responsible for supervising the preparation and transportation of grain and grass in the seven counties of Xingyang County and Dongping County, and had the power to control the Taishou and county orders in the above-mentioned areas.

This appointment made the officials of the DPRK and China can't help but talk about it, and they feel that the power given to Yang Xuangan is too great. However, considering that this is originally a chore, if he is not given such power, I am afraid that there is no guarantee that the grain and grass can be prepared as scheduled. Therefore, the opposition only made some waves, and then it calmed down.

And Yang Xuangan really has outstanding ability, but in just two months, he raised 1.2 million stone grain for Yang Guang, which made Yang Guangwei happy. Of course, the people's grievances in Henan have also reached a boiling point, and almost a spark can be put into it, and it can immediately become a prairie fire.

As a result, Yang Guang gave the order in high spirits, and the army began to march towards Liaodong. And Yang Xuangan, because of his meritorious contribution to raising grain and grass, is the chief supervisor of grain and grass, and is in charge of the army's grain and grass collection and transportation.

After Yang Guang led the army to set off, Yang Xuangan locked himself in the house, and his face showed anxiety. Because there were some changes that caught him off guard.

Several generals in the army who originally agreed with him were incorporated into the army by Yang Guang during this expedition and went to Liaodong. This reduced the amount of help he had to rebel a little. Moreover, now he is no longer the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the inspector of the seven counties of Henan is just a temporary dispatch.

It has been four years since his father, Yang Su, died. Now that the Yang family's influence on the officials of the DPRK and China has been greatly weakened, can the person who originally promised to start trouble with him really rebel against him as promised in this situation?

Yang Xuan was very anxious, looking at the map on the table and the gathering places of the soldiers who had risen in various places he had prepared, his fingers trembling slightly. He knew that now that Yang Guang's army went to Liaodong, it was his best opportunity, and he missed this opportunity, and after Yang Guang destroyed Goryeo, he returned triumphantly. At that time, the prestige of the Holy Lord was great, and few people were willing to rebel against him.

But now that he is rebelling, he really can't grasp it. Giving up and letting the Yang family fall from the first family of the Great Sui at the time of Yang Su to a second-rate family was something he couldn't accept at all.

Yang Xuan looked at the troop deployment markers on the map, and he was really a little entangled and hesitant in his heart.

"Is it going to happen as scheduled, or is it safe to be cautious and observe for a while?" He still couldn't make up his mind.

Just when he was a little uncertain, there was a report from the housekeeper outside the door, "Master, Young Master Rong and Chai Gongzi are here together, do you want to let them in?" ”

After Yang Xuangan heard this, he let out a long breath, he hurriedly got up and said, "Hurry up and invite Chai Gongzi and Rong'er in!" ”

This young master Rong is his eldest son Yang Rong, and Yang Rong and Chai Shao have been fighting very hotly in the past two years. And Chai Shao also became one of his military advisors. Running around for him and giving advice. has made great contributions.

Although there are many people who have met and discussed with him in the past few days, he only feels bored. These people are saying things that are not of concern to him, and they are not helpful to his great cause. And Chai Shao's visit lifted his spirits, because this Hedong genius is indeed extraordinary, like this time to raise grain and grass, it was with his full assistance that it was finally completed and won Yang Guang's trust.

A moment later, Chai Shao and Yang Rongfang walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, Chai Shao bowed his hand to Yang Xuangan and said, "Now that good news is coming frequently, it seems that the great cause of the lord is just around the corner!" ”

Yang Xuangan was stunned after hearing this, and wondered what good news was there except that Yang Guang had already led the army to open and no one supervised him? And the several government soldiers he had originally contacted were all pulled out by Yang Guang. The strength has been greatly reduced, and there is no confidence in whether the move can be successful, but this Chai Shao said that the great cause can be accomplished, but he doesn't know how to achieve the law?

However, he was a scheming person, and although he was confused, he did not ask questions directly. He knew that even if he didn't say it, Chai Shao would have to pour it all out to himself in a while.

So, he hurriedly asked Chai Shao and Yang Rong to sit down, and then ordered someone to go to the tea.

After the next person brewed the tea and retreated, only Yang Xuangan, Yang Rong and Chai Shao were left in the huge room. ”

Chai Shao smiled at this time, "Does the lord feel that the troops are insufficient because the three generals were transferred to Liaodong to fight, and he is worried that the incident will be affected?" ”

Yang Xuan sighed and said, "Yes! Those three generals were all protΓ©gΓ©s of my father, and they were loyal to my Yang family, and they were originally my big help. They are not in the Central Plains, and my troops are somewhat insufficient. Moreover, the worst thing is that my position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was also cut down by the Holy Lord. In this way, it is even more difficult to say how many people will be willing to follow me into trouble! ”

Chai Shao smiled slightly: "Hehe, in fact, the lord doesn't need to be too anxious. Seon lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing? Now, although the lord has been stripped of his post as Shangshu, he has been sent by the inspectors of the seven counties of Henan. This is much more useful than the Book of Rites, which was completely unhelpful to the uprising. Don't forget that this patrol gives the power to control the seven county guards and county orders, and can mobilize their local troops and food and grass. In this way, even if the three major generals can't follow the lord to start an incident, it may not be that there are not enough troops! That's why I say it's good news! ”

Yang Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard him say this, and he immediately understood what Chai Shao meant. Since he has the power of this inspector of the seven counties, how can he not use it? And since he has decided to oppose the Sui uprising, does he still need to worry about his big and small officials? As for the rebellion, the inspection envoys who can control the Taishou of the seven counties are much more effective than the previous Ministry of Rites.

Yang Xuangan is also a quick-thinking and smart-minded person, and he inherited the staff team left by his father Yang Su, and he is quite well prepared. The reason why I have been uncertain. It is also because the fact that the rebellion started is a matter of great importance and has a bearing on the life and death of the whole clan. So, let him get a little bit of a bull's horn.

And now that Chai Shao woke him up, he immediately woke up and returned to the witty and brave Yang Xuangan who was outstanding before.

After pondering for a while, Yang Xuan said the last worry in his heart: "Sichang, now I am not worried about anything else, but I am worried that after being demoted, my influence will be greatly reduced." And those people who have been in contact with me before, will they see the wind and rudder and refuse to join me in the incident? Then my chances of winning will be greatly reduced. ”
