Chapter 254: Pei Ju's complaint

、、、、、、、、、、

"Pei Aiqing, tell me how Yuming attacked other countries? What is the evidence? Yang Guang asked lukewarmly.

"Your Majesty, when Yuming stayed in Liaodong, the imperial court only stipulated that he could launch an attack on Goryeo and act cheaply. But who would have expected that Yuming would even launch an attack on Tiele, Khitan, Heishui, Sumo and other departments. These acts of war were not reported to the Ministry of War, nor were they supplemented by explanations to the Imperial Court. It shows that he didn't take the court into account at all. Such an act of assertion and attacking another country is indeed a sin of rebellion. Please Your Majesty immediately issue an order to arrest Yuming and bring him to justice. Pei Ju said solemnly.

After Yang Guang heard this, he snorted coldly, and said with a displeased expression: "Pei Aiqing, the facts you reported are making a big fuss. Long before the main force retreated, we knew that Tiele, Khitan, Heishui, Sumo and other troops had already allied with Goryeo, and even fought with their armies several times. The above departments have long been the enemies of my Great Sui. Although my edict to Wooming did not mention that he could attack these tribes, he did say that he could act cheaply against the Goryeo coalition forces. So it's not a violation. You don't have to mention it again! ”

When Pei Ju came, he had already discussed it carefully with the Pei family, and decided to talk about this matter first. It's not that he doesn't know that he can't bring down Yuming just by attacking the grassland tribes. It's just that he did it on purpose.

So, he pretended to be frightened, and after pleading guilty, he hurriedly said: "The minister really doesn't know that His Majesty's holy decree to Lord Yu has already stipulated that all tribes and countries participating in the Goryeo coalition army can attack. This is the minister's mistake, and he almost wronged Lord Yu, a loyal minister. It's just that I didn't expect that Ji and Silla also participated in the Goryeo coalition army and fought against our Great Sui, no wonder they also suffered a catastrophe this time! ”

As soon as he said this, Yang Guang was a little surprised: "What? You said that Ji and Silla were also destroyed by Woomyeong? ”

The Ji army participated in the Goryeo coalition army, Yang Guang knew it, if he was destroyed by Yuming, although Yang Guang felt a little presumptuous, he would not be surprised. However, if the Silla Kingdom, which had nothing to do with the Liaodong War and did not participate in the Goryeo Coalition Army, was also destroyed by the army led by Woomyeong, then it would definitely be an unauthorized attack on another country.

Pei Ju pretended to be surprised at this time and said, "Didn't Lord Yu report this matter to Your Majesty?" I thought that for such a big matter, he bypassed the military department and the cabinet, but he would definitely report back to His Majesty. I didn't expect him to even keep His Majesty in the dark. ”

As soon as he said this, Yang Guang's face suddenly changed slightly, the general led the army to attack other countries without authorization, and did not report to the emperor, which is definitely a big crime for any dynasty.

And Pei Ju continued to chatter endlessly: "Lord Yu really fought a great war, led an army of 100,000, and wiped out Silla and Ji in more than two months. Although 100,000 of them were recruited by him from among the people, they also initially formed a fighting force. Ji and Silla combined also had more than 100,000 horses, and they were defeated one after another, and they were defeated in successive battles. This fertile soil is in the bag! ”

Pei Ju said a lot there, but Yang Guang clearly heard what he meant. This Pei Xiangguo told him that Yuming's strength was no longer than the original Wanzuoling Guard, but had expanded to 100,000 people, and even the 100,000 newly recruited soldiers also had a certain combat effectiveness. He was able to defeat the two ** teams of Silla and Ji, and he was injured himself.

A candidate who has 100,000 soldiers in his hand and divides one side, if he is not restrained, will indeed become a big trouble for the imperial court.

After hearing Pei Ju's words, Yang Guang couldn't help but think a little. Although it is said that the generals are not subject to military orders, it is only a matter of tactics, that is, how the main general will defeat the enemy. But this is by no means an indulgence of the Lord to attack another irrelevant neutral.

Moreover, no matter which emperor he is, it is absolutely impossible for a general to attack another country without authorization. Especially for the sake of Yu Ming now controlling an army of 100,000.

"Are you saying that now the Liaodong Army has 100,000 elite soldiers?" Yang Guang said coldly.

Pei Ju was overjoyed in his heart, and finally said that the emperor's heart was up, he hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not just that, when Yuming attacked Goryeo, he rescued more than 200,000 Sui officers and soldiers and civilians who were captured before. These people have always been homesick and eager to be reunited with their families. But Yuming used various reasons to prevent them from returning to the Central Plains. On the contrary, they were persuaded to take their families to Liaodong for reunion. Whoever brings his family members to Liaodong, the Liaodong camp will distribute Yongye fields, farm tools, and seeds for them to farm and produce. I heard that in the last month alone, more than 100,000 family members of the Liaodong Army have come to Liaodong to settle down in order to escape the banditry in the Central Plains. ”

The more Yang Guang listened, the more frightened he became. Secretly wondered if Yu Ming subdued all the nearly 200,000 Sui army captives, wouldn't he have 100,000 troops under his command? And they are all well-trained soldiers. Such a strength may not be enough to overthrow the Great Sui, but it can definitely be divided into one side and become a soil overlord. The central government wants to destroy the 100,000 Liaodong army, but I am afraid that it will also pay a heavy price.

He said with a gloomy face: "In addition, what else did Yuming do in Liaodong?" ”

"He's got a lot to do!" Pei Ju was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "For example, Yuming ordered the tax rate in Liaodong to be halved and only half of the tax in the Central Plains to attract displaced people to come to Liaodong to reclaim the wasteland...... At the same time, all the people who came to Liaodong were given land according to households, seeds and farm tools, and even a ploughing ox could be lent to the camp...... In addition, Yuming also ordered the establishment of a baojia system in the conquered Goryeo, Tiele, Khitan, Xi, Heishui, Sumo and other tribes. Ten people are in a group, ten in a team, and ten in a battalion. Imitate the military system to manage and prevent foreign rebellion, so as to stabilize his rule......"

"Enough, I've got it!" Yang Guangtie said with a blushing face, obviously angry in his heart.

Seeing this, Pei Ju immediately raised his eyebrows, he nodded, and then respectfully handed over the chapter with both hands and said: "That's all the ministers want to impeach, Yuming has done so many things beyond the norm, and he has not reported to the court and told His Majesty that this is contempt for the court and the crime of bullying the king." This is ironclad evidence of his attempt to support his own army and vainly plot rebellion. ”

Yang Guang took the piece he handed over, and said with a very ugly face: "I already know about this matter, don't tell others for the time being." I'll send someone to deal with it, so get out of the way!" ”

Pei Ju saw that he had achieved his goal, and left happily.

After Pei Ju withdrew from the main hall, Yang Guangfang was so angry that he paced in the study, he never expected that Yuming, who had always been more at ease, would do such a thing behind his back. He originally planned that even if he wanted to suppress Yuming in the future, he would let Yuming go and let him become a sharp blade in his hands to conquer the Quartet.

At this time, he was extremely angry in his heart, and he originally planned to march together next month, and send troops from Liaodong, Hetao, and Dunhuang to attack the Eastern Turks. But now, the definite offensive plan can only be postponed backwards.

In Yang Guang's view, he did not treat Yuming badly, he has always been very important to him, and at the age of less than 20 years old, he made him the marshal of the Liaodong Xingying, the Marquis of Pyongyang, and now he has been promoted to be the squire of the military department and the Marquis of Liaodong, and retains the vacant position of the marshal of the Liaodong Xingying. This can be said to be a deep grace of the king.

Moreover, Yuming is not Yuhuaji's eldest son, just an illegitimate child. It was he, Yang Guang, who ignored these opinions, and still promoted him and reused him.

This kind of treatment, not to mention in his Yang Guang dynasty, even counting the dynasty of the first emperor Yang Jian, and even the Northern Zhou Dynasty, no young military general has ever received such an honor.

He can be said to have great trust in Yuming, but how does Yuming repay himself? He didn't care much about Yuming's attack on the Khitan, Xi, Tiele and other tribes and Jiguo.

Because he knew that Yu Ming was a military genius, he was concerned about some of his outrageous behaviors. He also felt that it was a general, and that the military order was not subject to it, and he was willing to accept these facts.

But if Yuming even had to destroy Silla, who had never violated the river water with the Sui Dynasty, it would make him a little angry. Of course, if Yuming had made it clear to him in advance and suggested that Silla be defeated by the way when attacking Ji, then he would not be unacceptable. After all, what emperor doesn't want his territory to be bigger?

He was angry that Yuming had been hiding this matter, and had even made many changes to the current tax rates, regulations, and decrees of the imperial court. He even recruited troops and horses to accumulate strength. And these things were not reported to the court at all.

This made Yang Guang wonder in his heart, did he secretly think that this Yuming was going to make a plan? Is it to support the army and stand on its own feet in Liaodong? Could it be that he still wants to restore the country in Liaodong and rebuild the Northern Zhou Dynasty?

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that he was good to Yuming? Let this young young general not know how important it is to seal him now, so he doesn't cherish it.

Yang Guang couldn't help frowning, wondering if Yuming really wanted to betray him? Maybe he was really too good to Yuming, and he gave more benefits at once, so he didn't do it properly.

Just when Yang Guang was a little depressed in his heart, he sat back on the dragon chair and half-closed his eyes, but suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the study, and then a guard said loudly at the door: "Your Majesty, Lord Wei Xuanwei, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, asked to see him, saying that something big had happened in Hedong!" ”

"What? Hedong also had an accident? When Yang Guang heard this, he immediately felt a headache, because Hedong was the rear base camp for his future attack on the Turks, and he attached great importance to it, and specially sent his cousin Li Yuan to stay behind to guard the area. And now Hedong is still repairing Jinyang Palace, if something big happens, wouldn't it be a delay in repairing Jinyang Palace?

"Tell Master Wei to come in!" Yang Guang came back to his senses after a long time and said quickly.
