At this time, the officials of Liaoxi County did not see the wind and rudder, and reprimanded Xue Shixiong for not being strict, causing the princess to be violated. As a result, in the midst of everyone's appeal, Yuming had no choice but to be "forced" to take over the military and political power of Liaoxi County, clarify the rule of officials, and eliminate the poison.

At the same time, in order to show their loyalty, the cadres of Liaoxi County, such as the long history, the assassin history, and the main Bo, offered to write the ins and outs of the matter into a chapter and report it to the imperial court.

When the news of the Liaodong Army's occupation of Liaoxi County spread, officials from all counties in the world were watching the imperial court's statement. Because no matter how "forced" Yu Ming said about the matter, it is a fact that he imprisoned Xue Shixiong and seized Liaoxi County.

Even if Yuming claimed that the siege was to save the princess, after rescuing the princess, why did the Liaodong army still stay in Liaoxi County and continue to increase troops?

Just when everyone thought that even if the imperial court did not send troops to recapture Liaoxi County, it would at least send an envoy to reprimand Yuming and order him to withdraw his troops from Liaoxi. However, the imperial court only allowed Yuming to pay the taxes of Liaoxi County for the sake of it, and did not punish him in any way, acquiescing in a group of officials appointed by Yuming himself. This came as a surprise to local officials.

In fact, this is not because Yang Guang is weak, he has already received a secret letter from Yang Luoqi, which has a detailed description of the events that occurred in Liaoxi County. and mentioned that it was possible that Yuming deliberately planned this matter, using his identity to seize Liaoxi County in the name of saving the princess.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the Liaodong army was able to kill so quickly after Princess Luo Qi was arrested and put in prison, and lurked in the city with a death squad to seize the city gate, resulting in the rapid fall of the county town of Liaoxi.

However, after Yang Guang convened Pei Ju, Pei Yun and others to discuss, he thought that the imperial court could only acquiesce to reality.

Because it is impossible for the imperial court to draw troops to attack Yuming now, and even if there are really troops to conquer Liaodong again, I am afraid that most of the results will be defeated.

In the case that no force can be used, the edict to the world reprimands Yuming for annexing Liaoxi County, but it cannot punish it, which can only make the prestige of the imperial court even lower.

In contrast, it is better to pretend that sex is inappropriate and acquiesce to this reality. In this way, it can also make those ambitious local officials, the family Haoqiang think that the imperial court has something powerful, so they can't bear it.

However, what Yang Guang didn't expect was. In doing so, he only temporarily delayed the time for Li Yuan, Wang Shichong and other treacherous people to start an incident. However, those rebels were greatly encouraged, and Li Mi took the opportunity to capture Luokoucang, one of the large warehouses in the Central Plains, not only obtained a large amount of grain, but also cut off Yang Guang to return to the eastern capital.

At the same time, the big families in the south also rose up one after another, Xiao Miao, a descendant of the Xiao family of the Southern Liang, Shen Faxing, the head of the Shen family of the Jiangnan family, and Lin Shihong, a local tycoon, rose up against the Sui, so that the originally peaceful Jiangnan was suddenly in flames.

Some local officials, such as Xue Ju in Longxi, Li Liang in Xiliang, and Liang Shidu in Shuofang, began to intercept taxes and grain handed over to the imperial court, and conscripted troops without authorization in the name of suppressing bandits. The rule of the Sui Dynasty began to fall apart.

Time has entered the first month of the tenth year of the great cause, and the heroes and careerists in various places have begun to secretly deploy, preparing to rise up against the Sui.

At this time, in the capital cities of the Sui Dynasty such as Dongdu, Jiangdu, and Xijing, there was a proverb: Eighteen peaches and plums rose on behalf of the Sui and Li dynasties.

This matter made Yang Guang very taboo, especially now when the prestige of the imperial court was declining.

In a fit of rage, he ordered Li Min to be beheaded. This person was an important figure in Li Valve, and after the death of Li Hun and Li Jie, he temporarily became the head of the Li Valve's family. He was killed for no reason this time, which immediately put everyone in the court surnamed Li in danger, and they all returned to their hometowns or wrote to resign.

And in the city lord's mansion in the original city, Li Yuan, who has been in the limelight recently, is also in his own mansion, thinking with a sad face.

Like other Guanlong nobles, Li Yuan's ancestor Li Hu was also a soldier of the Six Towns and was a Huhua Han Chinese, and with the late Northern Wei Dynasty, internal Hu-Han contradictions broke out, and the military nobles representing the interests of the Xianbei Hu people instigated the soldiers of the Six Towns to launch a rebellion. But in the end, it was borrowed from Rouran by the Tuoba clan, the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who decided to sinicize, and suppressed it under the attack of the north and south.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of Hu and Huhua Han people in the six towns were scattered and escorted to settle in Guanlong, Hebei, Hedong and Shandong.

Among the six towns, the Wuchuan town garrison and their families were placed in the Guanlong area, and among them also produced a hero named Yutai, who established the Guanlong aristocratic force based on the Eight Pillars State, and later produced the Western Wei and Northern Zhou on this basis.

With the rise of Yutai, Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu also appeared on the political stage, as one of the eight pillars of Guanlong, Li Hu according to Yutai's requirements, entrusted Longxi, and became the first head of the Li valve in the Guanlong Gate Valve.

Although Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu had a high status, because his father Li Hu died early, he was unable to catch up with the establishment of the Sui Dynasty to support Yang Jian's dragon work.

In the first year of the emperor's reign, Li Yuan was only sixteen years old, and their family failed to seize the opportunity in this great change in the Northern Zhou Dynasty of the Great Sui Dynasty to obtain any high-ranking officials, resulting in the rapid decline of Li Yuan's lineage, and even among the Li valves, they also became a side branch.

Although Sui Ding Yang Jian remembered the old love of his ancestors and still gave Li Yuan the title of Duke of Tang Kingdom, almost everyone in the Guanlong Group at that time had a knighthood.

For example, Li Mi was named the Duke of Pushan, Yang Su was named the Duke of Yue, and Yushu was named the Duke of Xu. Therefore, Li Yuan's title of Duke of Tang was not remarkable at all, and the family could only be ranked in the middle and lower, becoming an inconspicuous small force in the Guanlongmen valve.

However, Li Yuan can endure more than ordinary people, and he is known for his loyalty, so he is cautious and timid. And his mother and Yang Guang's mother are sisters, Yang Guang is still very relieved and trusting of him, believing that he will not rebel and entrust him to be reused.

But now, Li Yuan is haunted by that proverb and is considering whether to start an incident immediately. Because he had already received the news that Li Min, the current acting head of the Li Valve, had been killed by Yang Guang. It is rumored that the next minister surnamed Li that Yang Guang wants to kill will be him.

At the same time, Liu Wuzhou, the commander of Yingyang in Mayi County under his rule, also staged a mutiny last month, killing the guard of Mayi, and proclaiming himself Tian according to Mayi. After the uprising, Liu Wuzhou quickly broke through Loufu County, entered and occupied Fenyang Palace, and colluded with Jieli Khan, one of the great Turkic khans, in an attempt to go south to fight for the world.

According to Li Yuan's eyeliner report arranged in the Jiangdu Palace, Yang Guang was furious when he heard the news, thinking that Li Yuan was incompetent and wanted to transfer him back to Jiangdu to punish the crime. This is Yang Guang's borrowing of the topic, or is it influenced by the proverb, and he changed his previous attitude of trusting him, which made him feel a little upset in his heart.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and then someone said at the door: "Master Li, we are here!" ”

Li Yuan heard that it was Liu Jing's voice, and hurriedly said, "Come in!" ”

Liu Jing was not the only one who came in, Pei Lian, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and others all came. And their response to the current proverb is surprisingly consistent. That is to take the opportunity to raise troops against Sui.

"Father, if this matter is not reversed, when will it be?" Li Shimin said impassionedly: "From Yuming to occupy Liaoxi County, imprison Xue Shixiong, and monopolize military and political power, and the imperial court is indifferent to this blatant rebellion, it can be seen that the Sui Dynasty has exhausted." Although it was obvious that someone was trying to frame my father. But it is not impossible to say that my Li family obeys the destiny of heaven. ”

Li Jiancheng also said: "Yes! Father, the second brother's words are very reasonable, now we have secretly recruited 60,000 soldiers, plus the original county soldiers and private soldiers, the total strength has exceeded 100,000, most of the county officials in Hedong are our people, as long as my father holds high the banner of righteousness, Hedong can change color in one day. ”

After Li Yuan listened to the persuasion of the two sons, he still said with a worried face: "We are almost ready, but who would have expected that the Holy Lord would transfer my sworn enemy Gao Junya to be the original deputy guard?" This man has always been wrong with me, and if he rebels, he will inevitably get in the way. But if you want to fight with it, I am afraid that if you win, your vitality will be greatly damaged, and it will still be a problem to control Hedong, so why not enter Guanlong? ”

After Li Shimin heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "My father is also too generous." Why do you need to fight with a knife and a gun to kill that Gao Junya? The child had a plan, but he could kill Gao Junya bloodlessly, control his army, and let his father firmly control the Hedong Prefectures. ”

"Oh? What is the best plan for the people? Li Yuan asked with some surprise.

Li Shimin lowered his voice at this time and said his arrangement. After everyone heard this, they all praised this plan for being very good, and after Liu Jing and Pei Lin made some improvements, Li Yuan finally made a decision and implemented the plan tomorrow.

……

Early the next morning, Li Yuan instructed the senior officials and generals in the county to go to the Jiangtai in the middle of the city to parade.

But when everyone arrived at Dianjiangtai, they found that Li Yuan did not come to participate. When I asked Li Shimin, I found out that Li Yuan suddenly contracted a cold last night, vomiting and diarrhea, and several doctors in the city went to see it. He said that his condition was serious and that he could only rest at home now.

As the former deputy who stayed behind, Gao Junya was reasonable and reasonable, so he could only go to visit.

After entering the original left-behind mansion, Gao Junya walked to the depths of the mansion under the leadership of Li Shimin.

"Tall, please go this way! My father would be glad to learn that adults had come to see him! Li Shimin walked in front, and there were servants carrying lanterns in front of him, which showed that he attached great importance to Gao Junya.

Gao Junya frowned as he walked, he secretly thought that Li Yuan had always been in good health, and he took people out hunting a few days ago, and personally shot a deer with a bow, which shows that his body is tough. But how can you say that illness is illness now? Can't even come to a military parade?

His heart was full of doubts, and the saint ordered Li Yuan to go to Jiangdu to report on his work and ask about Liu Wuzhou's incident. Li Yuan found all kinds of reasons to delay the trip, and now he actually got a cold again, Gao Junya suspected that this was another excuse made by Li Yuan, and deliberately pretended to be sick and didn't go.
