Chapter 132: Li Yuan Face Saint

In mid-February, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui led an army of inspectors to Taiyuan City, but the team did not enter the city, but went directly to the Jinyang Guan, which had just been built not long ago. According to the custom, Yang Guang would rest here for a few days, meet with local officials, learn about the situation in the Hejin area, and then continue his tour north.

When arriving at the Fenyang Palace, it was noon, Yang Guang and Queen Xiao, Yang Qi, King of Yan, Yang Gao, King of Zhao, and Princess Yang Yutong of Yunyang enjoyed lunch together, which is a rare situation, in the past, Yang Guang was generally alone in the imperial study to eat, especially in the past three years, Yang Guang even had dinner alone!

"How could Your Majesty have thought of having dinner with us today?" Empress Xiao said with a slight smile.

"Over the years, I have been busy with government affairs, but I neglected to get together with you, think about me who is almost fifty years old, the years are not forgiving, I should accompany you as much as possible, so this time I visited the world, I also brought Aman!"

Yang Guang looked at his baby daughter lovingly, Ah Man is his favorite little princess, she is twelve years old this year, she looks beautiful like a flower, but her figure is slightly delicate, Queen Xiao also reminded him that it is time to pay attention to her husband for Ah Man, but he always feels that his daughter is delicate and should not get married too early, and at the same time, there is no young handsome man he can look up to, so he did not agree to his wife.

Yang Mitong has received a good education since he was a child, although he is a little eccentric, but he is gentle and polite, and said with a shallow smile: "It's because my daughter hasn't been able to accompany my father more, and my daughter is very sorry."

Yang Guang laughed happily, "It's still my daughter who is more considerate!" ”

Next to him, Yang Qi quietly glanced at Yang Gao, Yang Gao understood, and said a little coquettishly: "Father, last year you promised to accompany the child to ride a horse, and the sons and ministers have waited for a year, this time in Saibei, the father can no longer be discredited."

Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, is the youngest son of Yang Guang, ten years old this year, smart and clever, he knows that his father is busy with court affairs and has no time to rest, so he uses the excuse of riding a horse to let his father distract.

Yang Guang smiled and nodded, "This time when I go to Saibei, I will definitely accompany everyone to ride a horse." ”

Empress Xiao smiled on the side and said nothing, she remembered the request of her brother Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu begged her to persuade Yang Guang not to kill again, the court is already in turmoil, if this continues, there will really be no hope for the Great Sui! Empress Xiao also felt that it was very reasonable, she wanted to find a suitable opportunity to persuade Yang Guang, and today was a good opportunity.

"Your Majesty, are you ready to make a move on Li Yuan?"

Yang Guanggang picked up the wine glass, and Empress Xiao's inquiry made him groan for a while, and gently put down the wine glass and sighed: "I haven't decided yet!"

"Your Majesty, the proverb itself is a very illusory thing, saying that it is surnamed Li, then there are not millions of people with the surname Li in the world, but there are also 100,000 people with the surname Li, and there are also people with the surname Li among the thieves in the world, such as Li Hongzhi, Li Zitong, maybe it's them, and then for example, some small soldiers surnamed Li in the army, today are the soldiers of the Great Sui, maybe they will raise the flag next year, and there are some people, he himself is not surnamed Li, but maybe he will change his surname to Li in the future. The concubine means that His Majesty is too suspicious of the ministers, which makes the ministers panic, but will make them think about the way back for themselves, the matter of Li Min and Li Hun has already shaken the government and the opposition, and the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty are in danger, Your Majesty should appease them at this time and remove the fear of the ministers. ”

The reason why Xiao Yu asked Empress Xiao to persuade was because only Empress Xiao could persuade Yang Guang, although Yang Guang didn't like to listen to advice, but it was not absolute, he would occasionally listen to Empress Xiao's advice.

Yang Guang was silent, and Empress Xiao continued to persuade: "Although the concubines have lived in the palace for a long time, they also know that the world is not peaceful, and the external troubles are not peaceful, at this time the unity of the monarch and the ministers should be maintained.

Yang Guang was silent, and Empress Xiao didn't persuade him more, and the family finished their lunch in silence.

Yang Guang returned to the royal room, pacing back and forth with his hands, his wife's persuasion touched him, in the past when he heard the proverb, he instinctively put on the family door valve, this is because he has already decided in his bones that the family door valve is the biggest threat to the Great Sui, killing Li Min and Li Hun, although it is related to the proverb, but at the same time, he also wants to take the opportunity to clean some of the door valve family.

But everything is beneficial, there must be a suffocation, he kills like this, it is indeed easy to cause the ministers' self-danger, killing is still to kill, but you can't be so impatient, you have to take your time, wait until the ministers have forgotten about Li Min and Li Hun's two families, and then find other more reasonable excuses to kill, as long as the rhythm of killing is longer and slower, it will not cause the ministers' self-danger.

At this time, a eunuch reported at the door, "Your Majesty, Taiyuan Town Guard Li Yuan asks to see!" ”

Hearing the name Li Yuan, the corners of Yang Guang's mouth twitched involuntarily, this was one of the targets he wanted to kill, he originally wanted to find an excuse to get rid of him during this inspection of Taiyuan, but at this time, after listening to Empress Xiao's persuasion, Yang Guang decided to temporarily change his mind, and now use Li Yuan to appease the ministers' self-danger, and then kill Li Yuan when he finds a better excuse in the future.

"Announce him in!"

After a while, Li Yuan walked into the imperial room quickly, knelt down on his knees, and respectfully kowtowed to Yang Guangxing, "Minister Li Yuan knocks to see His Majesty My Emperor, may His Majesty my Emperor live long live!" ”

Yang Guang could feel the fear in Li Yuan's heart at this time, and he smiled, "Aiqing doesn't have to make a big salute, be flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Yuan stood up and said: "The minister cleared the rebels in the Jinzhou area a few days ago, and only returned to Taiyuan a few days ago, Your Majesty inspected Taiyuan by royal car, the minister should not be busy and did not prepare carefully, and please forgive Your Majesty for the poor reception of the minister."

"It's okay! I didn't find anything wrong, Aiqing doesn't have to blame herself! ”

Yang Guang didn't say anything more, Li Yuan didn't know what to report for a while, there was a short silence in the room, although it was only a short moment, but it made Li Yuan spend time like a year, and after a while, his back was already soaked, Yang Guang then talked and asked: "How many rebel bandits and thieves are there in the Hejin area, have you caught the bandit leader in Jinzhou this time?"

"Tell Your Majesty, there are dozens of zào fǎn bandits in Hejin, but most of them are weaker, among which the most powerful group is Wuduan Er of Huoyi City, there are more than 100,000 people under his command, the minister has successfully besieged him in Huoyi City this time Jinzhou bandits, but unfortunately at the last moment it is still a failure, the minister only succeeded in exterminating the 60,000 rebels in Huoyi City this time, and Wu Duaner escaped in the last overseas Chinese disguise, and he escaped with more than a dozen bandit generals under the response of the rebels outside the city."

After speaking, Li Yuan knelt on Yang Guang's knees again, kowtowing, "It is not good for Li Yuan to suppress bandits, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" ”

Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
