Chapter 593: Xiongdu (36)

According to Li Yuan's statement to the outside world, this time he entered Beijing not to fight for the country, but to reorganize the country. Not only is he not a chaotic minister and thief, but he is the No. 1 loyal minister of the Great Sui! Although the army entered Chang'an, it would never compete for the throne, but let Yang Yu be the emperor.

These words were not said to Yang Yu alone, but to the thousands of troops and horses in Jinyang, tens of thousands of Yingyang in Jingzhao, and even the hundreds of thousands of people who followed the Li family's soldiers and horses to return to their homes. For the local military and civilians, this is naturally the best news. It is important to know that the change of dynasty has always been accompanied by the division of the soil, whether it is to reward the meritorious heroes or reward the subordinates, they need a large amount of gold and silver. The source of this money is not limited to the imperial treasury, but also among private merchants and even ordinary people.

Even if the Li family's world is undecided now, it has not yet reached that point. But as long as Li Yuan is the emperor, he has to give his subordinates some sweetness. The real estate and fields in Chang'an City, and the goods and goods in the people's homes may be distributed to the soldiers as a reward for merit. However, the people were forcibly expelled before, and it was only thanks to Li Yuan's rice and grain that they were able to save their lives, and hundreds of thousands of people owed Li Yuan the grace of saving their lives. Even if he did this, everyone didn't dare to say more, and they had to praise His Majesty for his good manners.

Now that Li Yuan doesn't have this usurpation intention, most of everyone can keep their family wealth, and naturally everyone is happy. As for those generals and soldiers, there was no dissatisfaction. Li Yuannai is a well-known and honest person in the world, he treats the people and even Yang Yu so leniently, how could he let down the generals who worked hard for him?

The Jinyi family guarded the treasury, and did not let the soldiers who entered the city first move a single grass or tree, but they did not say that the money and grain in it were distributed to the people, and it was impossible to return Yang Yu's doll. Regardless of whether you ask, you can know that those treasures are the rewards prepared for the three armies.

It is true that the Son of Heaven of Great Cause transported a large amount of wealth from Chang'an after moving to Jiangdu, but after all, this is where the capital of the Great Sui Kingdom is located, and how can the savings of decades be underestimated? Even if the people do not move a single grass and tree, the wealth accumulated by the government is enough to satisfy all the generals. It is because everyone has maintained the greatest patience, no one causes trouble, and everyone is waiting for the national public security to decide on the reward for meritorious deeds, and everyone will make a fortune.

Li Yuan is benevolent, and His Majesty naturally can't be too harsh. Otherwise, even if Li Gongren did not complain, the swords in the hands of those generals may not be easy to talk about. It was because when Yang Yu was carried all the way from the car to the Hanyuan Hall by the long-faced warriors, the first holy decree issued as the emperor was to settle the Jinyang military generals, and the city Chinese military officials and even the imperial nobles' mansions were appointed as the military generals who entered the city at their own choice, and no one could stop them. Tang Guogong Li Yuan was the minister of the Great Sui Dynasty, and all the big and small dynasties and politics depended on Li Gong's trade-off, so it was not suitable to live far from the palace, and the "Yongxingfang" that was only one heavenly street away from the palace was given to Li Gong to live.

It took only half an hour from the time this decree was transcribed to the time it was sealed, and its speed was rare in the country, and from beginning to end, His Majesty was arbitrary, and it was never interfered with by the slightest external force. It can be seen that Tang Guogong was loyal to the Great Sui, and he had no intention of coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven and taking the Son of Heaven as a puppet. It can also be seen that Wei Xuan is incompetent and the Yin Shi Shi has misled the country, if they let go earlier and handed over the government to His Majesty for execution, why would the world be like this?

Of course, this is the beginning and not the end of this holy decree, and there will be a lot of holy decrees related to honors, rewards, and crusades to be promulgated in the future. When these holy decrees are issued, this holy monarch comparable to Yao Shun will be overwhelmed with fatigue and illness, and he will not even be able to manage the state affairs, so he can only rely on Tang Guogong to support the country. This is the fate of the emperor, and the generals of the Chinese Wumancheng army can see it.

Although Li Yuan was born in a general's family, he also maintained the martial arts style of the military family in the north, and he actually admired the Jiangnan scenery in his heart, and his diet was extremely exquisite. The Jinyang Mansion should also be arranged as a scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Yongxingfang that the Son of Heaven hastily rewarded could not satisfy him. However, as a loyal minister of the Great Sui, he can only obey His Majesty's arrangement, but fortunately, he has Pei Lian, Wen Daya and other capable ministers under him, and a large number of heroes are willing to drive. It won't take long to arrange his residence properly, and at worst, he can carry utensils from the palace, so that the important ministers of the court will not be wronged.

After waiting for many years, it is natural to wait an extra day or two. Even for the sake of the Great Sui world, Li Yuan can continue to wait, and it doesn't matter if he waits for a few more years. When Li Yuan walked into the study of this strange mansion and looked at the furnishings around him, his face did not show dissatisfaction, but he was a little embarrassed: "When I entered Jinyang from Chang'an that day, I thought that I would never be able to return to the capital again in this life. I didn't expect God to have mercy on me, and I would be able to see Chang'an again in my lifetime. It's a pity that most of the old friends and old friends are no longer alive, and if you want to drink and talk, you can't find a few confidants. ”

Pei Lin came in after Li Yuan, closed the door with his hand, and said to Li Yuan: "This mansion is Yang Xiu's other business, and it is not enough to match the identity of the lord, so there is no point in drinking here." He held a banquet in the palace every day, and invited the heroes of the four seas to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, which was what the big husband did. ”

"Xuan Gong's words are wrong! How can we, as courtiers, hold a banquet in the palace? Isn't that trespassing? Aren't you afraid of angering the Son of Heaven and causing a catastrophe of death? ”

At this point, the two looked at each other, followed by a burst of laughter.

As Li Yuan's first confidant, Pei Lin naturally knew what his lord was thinking, and he also knew what he should say at this moment. Jinyang's army was a desperate gamble, and it was the life of the Li family. In case of failure, others may be able to escape, and Li Yuan, as the culprit, will definitely not escape death.

However, since the start of the army, it has not been smooth, and several times it has been almost defeated or even annihilated, and victory or defeat is often between life and death. Li Yuan seemed to be confident on the surface, but in fact, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night. If it weren't for the fact that he was known as "dull and heavy", and his concentration was far beyond ordinary people, I was afraid that he would have been scared out of his soul a long time ago, and he didn't know what stupid things he would do.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, it is natural to laugh and send the mood, otherwise wouldn't you be depressed? Li Yuan may have to pretend to be a loyal minister in front of outsiders, and naturally he doesn't have to pretend to be his mastermind. The two sat down opposite each other, and Pei Lin said: "This yellow-mouthed son is also obedient, and he knows that he will hand over Yongxingfang to the lord." If he dares to seal the mansion elsewhere, we will live in Daxing Palace and help him protect the palace!" ”

Li Yuan smiled: "After all, it is the Yang family, and it was taught by Wei Xuan's old goods, even if he is young, he should not be underestimated." However, Xuan Gong is right about one thing, the current army is in chaos, and the city is not peaceful, and Daxing Palace must be strictly guarded, so as not to boldly enter the palace and disturb His Majesty and the Queen Mother. ”

"Don't worry, the palace guards are all the elite henchmen of my Li family, and they are loyal in the art industry, as long as the lord gives an order, he will not frown when he goes to the soup and the fire! It's just ......" Speaking of this, Pei Lin paused for a moment, and then lowered his voice slightly:

"This majesty is too clever to be a good thing. Since ancient times, blessings and misfortunes have depended on each other, most of the early wisdom have died early, and they have to meet strangers at an early age and learn the art of matching people. Although Fang Cai stopped at a glance, he could also see that His Majesty did not look like a long-lived person. The country cannot be left without an owner, and the lord still has to prepare early. ”

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Xuan Gong must have seen it wrong. If there is chaos and war all over the world, if there is no Ming Jun in power, the world will fall apart, and the people will not know how much they will suffer. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, how could His Majesty die early? ”

Pei Lin glanced at Li Yuan, and saw that Li Yuan's expression was resolute, so he had to sigh: "The lord has the people in his heart, which is the blessing of the common people, but I am afraid that it will hurt all the loyal ministers and good generals." ”

"For the sake of loyalty, you should know that you have to work hard. Besides, I've been waiting for so long, and it's still a long time away? Li Yuan's tone was a little exhortation, for fear that the mastermind would make a disturbance on his own initiative:

"We have just entered the city, and if there are any twists and turns at this time, it will do all kinds of harm to the great cause and no benefit. After all, we have only taken Chang'an, and we have not swept the world yet. At this time, if you get carried away, you will bring about your own destruction! If others don't mention it, that Pushan Gong is not easy to mess with. ”

With the Jinyang troops, the princes of the world have also taken action, before the alliance with Li Yuan, the Pushan Gong Li Mi, who was ready to carve up the Great Sui world, led the Wagang army to capture Luokou and fall back to the two granaries, Wu'an Taishou Yuan Treasure led the army to Shun, and gave up Liyang Cang. So far, the three major granaries of the Great Sui have all fallen into the hands of Li Mi.

Although the Wagang army is composed of green forest heroes, it is not a rabble, its name of being able to fight is crowned in the world, and there are many fierce generals and heroes who can kill good wars in the army, which is a well-known hard bone among the candidates. Li Mi is known to be a great talent, and he not only has such a strong army under his command, but also has the three granaries under his control, and he also seems to have a bit of a king's atmosphere. Now he is leading his elite to storm Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Great Sui, and fight with Yang Tong, Wang Shichong and others, the king of Yue. Once Luoyang is in his hands, he can compete with Li Yuan.

Although the two families were alliances before, they were just trying to appease each other, so as not to suffer enemies on their backs, and the alliance could not be taken seriously at all. There are no two kings in the country, although Li Mi will not give up Chang'an, and Li Yuan will not be able to hand over the three granaries and Luoyang to Li Mi, and it is only a matter of time before the two sides go to war. Even in Li Yuan's view, the Great Sui is like a frost on the tile, and as long as he is willing, he can send troops to sweep it away at any time. At present, his number one enemy has changed from the Great Sui to Wagang!

At present, Yang Yu is not only a puppet, but also a good way to appease the soldiers and horses of the Great Sui. As long as Li Yuan did not openly rebel, it would be inconvenient for those troops who still hung the banner of the Great Sui to take the initiative to provoke him to fight, so that Li Yuan could use all his strength to deal with Li Mi. At least at this moment, Yang Yu not only can't die, but also has to be alive.

Li Yuan was worried that Wen Wu was in a hurry to push himself to the throne and do something stupid, so he reminded Pei Lin and said: "We can't follow the example of a fool like the Yin World Master, everything will be done slowly, and if you rush too much, it will only backfire." ”

Pei Lin nodded and said, "Don't worry, the lord knows it." Although those generals were bastards, they did not dare to disobey the orders of the lord's army. Whoever dares to act recklessly will have his head cut off! ”

"This will require Xuan Gong to put more thought into it."

"This is the duty of a minister, and it should be so." Pei Lin showed a smile again: "But when it comes to the Yin World Master, the minister feels that he should thank him." ”

"Thank him for what?" Although Li Yuan was generous and dull, his face changed suddenly when he heard the name of the Yin World Master. After all, he was the culprit who dug up his ancestral grave, and he couldn't be as generous as he was to others.

Pei Lin didn't seem to see Li Yuan's face, and said to himself: "If there is no Yin World Master, if we want to enter Chang'an, I'm afraid it won't be so smooth." ”
