Chapter 497: Face Saint

Li Min was beaten and lost half of his teeth, and after returning home, half of his face was swollen like a pig's head. Yuwen Eying has never suffered such a big loss, thinking that she is the daughter of the emperor, although the birth is not good, she was replaced by her grandfather in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but it is always much better than other princesses of the dead country.

After all, the new emperor is her grandfather, and her mother is no longer the empress dowager of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and she can be the princess of the Sui Dynasty again. She lost the title of princess, but she was no different from a princess.

Now, her husband was beaten like this, and she was also insulted in public, and she felt uncomfortable when she thought of those Shandong soldiers grabbing her hands and feet.

How can you swallow this breath when such a thing happens?

Yuwen Eying went directly into the palace.

With her status, it is not difficult to enter the palace. She first went to the queen Xiao to cry and beg her aunt to call the shots. When Empress Xiao heard this, she was also shocked, this Luo Cheng brother had just made a great contribution, how could he commit such a thing as soon as he entered Beijing.

"Don't cry yet, I'll go to see Your Majesty."

"The concubine also wants to meet His Majesty, and she must seek justice."

Xiao had no choice but to take Yuwen Eying with him.

Yang Guang was looking at the map, looking at the map of Liaodong.

This time Yang Xuangan rebelled, forcing him to end the second expedition to Goguryeo ahead of schedule, and now that the rebellion has been quelled, he is studying the map again and preparing for another expedition.

Over there, the new king of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, had already sent a letter of surrender.

Crying and complaining that Gao Yuan had no way to disobey the emperor of the Great Sui before, and now he has succeeded to the throne and is willing to seek peace and so on. Of course, Yang Guang will not pay attention to this kind of surrender, if he is no longer able to go east, he may be able to push the boat to take this surrender table, which can be regarded as finding a step for himself.

But now that the situation is very good, the rebellion has been quelled, and the Great Sui occupies the land of the four counties of Liaodong, and then continue the eastward crusade, the destruction of Goguryeo is just around the corner, why should you agree to his surrender at this time?

Yang Guang didn't even admit that there was only one king of Goguryeo, and that was Gao Yuan, and Gao Yuan was now in Luoyang City, and he was a prisoner of his vassals.

Since Gao Yuan was captured, his performance has been quite deferential, so Yang Guang has named Gao Yuan as a respectful marquis, every time a foreign envoy comes to the court, Yang Guang will send someone to summon Gao Yuan to accompany the wine and entertain guests, and Gao Yuan has the same identity, Yang Guang has a lot here.

For example, Murong Shun, the crown prince of Tuyuhun, such as Chuluo Khan of the Western Turks, King Liuqiu, and King Linyi are all the king of Fan who was called into the court after the defeat and was not allowed to return.

Yang Guang didn't kill these people, and every time a foreigner came, he took them out to decorate his faΓ§ade.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here."

Yang Guang put down the map in his hand, and Empress Xiao had already come over with a bowl of chilled grapes.

"Your Majesty, don't take much rest on such a hot day, don't get tired, this is the grapes prepared by the concubine for Your Majesty, and they have been chilled to relieve the heat."

The emperor couldn't help but smile when he saw Empress Xiao so considerate.

To say that, in fact, Yang Guang is still more dedicated, although it is not as good as his father who only had children with Queen Dugu in his life, but as the king of a country, although Yang Guang's harem also has concubines, but the number is not much, only five or six, and it is not as good as the ordinary princes and princes.

And although there are some concubines in the harem, he spoils him less, and more often, he still likes to be with Empress Xiao, who is three years older than him.

The husband and wife got married earlier, and now they have been married for almost 30 years, since the earliest Jin Dynasty, Xiao has been with him, and the husband and wife work together to get to where they are today.

"Look at the map again?" Xiao put down the grapes and helped the emperor clean up the table.

"Well, now that Yang has been pacified, I plan to seize the time to conquer Goguryeo again."

"It's summer, and it's hot, so it's not suitable for soldiers, right?"

"It's true that this year is not good to use troops in Liaodong on a large scale, but I'm thinking about it, I can send Luo Cheng to take over as the Taishou of Liaodong, and let him control the soldiers and horses of the six counties in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and there is no need to send another soldiers and horses over, so that Luo Cheng can act, if there is a chance, you can send troops to take Anshi first, so that from Xincheng to Liaodong to Anshi, Jian'an, and Lushun, all of them will be opened. After the spring of next year, they can send several more troops to the domestic city, and then destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop. ”

Xiao smiled behind him, but he wasn't too interested in these conquests.

After tidying up the table, the queen helped the emperor knead his shoulders again.

"Your Majesty, your general just now made a mistake." As he spoke, he told Luo Cheng about beating Li Min in front of Yang Su's house.

When Yang Guang heard this, his brows furrowed.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yuwen is crying, if he didn't have this, he wouldn't have come to the palace to cry. However, the concubine thought that the matter was definitely not all what she said, and it was estimated that there would be some inside information, Your Majesty might as well appease the Yuwen clan first, and then send someone to investigate it carefully, and then say. ”

"Well, Queen, you're right, if you listen to it, you will know it, and if you listen to it, you will believe it. But this Luo Cheng can really cause trouble, just arrived in Luoyang, I haven't seen anyone else, so he made such a thing. ”

"Actually, Your Majesty is not too angry, young people, they are always easy to be impulsive. However, the concubine had observed Luo Siye before, and he was still a relatively stable person, and Luo Cheng was not too bad. ”

Yang Guang thought about it and thought it would be better to meet and ask Luo Cheng in person.

"Come on, summon Luo to set up a horse and come to the palace to see me."

Empress Xiao said softly, "The concubine will retreat first." ”

"No, you're here, help me observe this guy, I know that you are careful, and you are more unique in seeing people."

"It's inconvenient."

"What's inconvenient, I didn't summon me to the Golden Palace in the past, it's okay here, there are not so many etiquette rules."

In less than half an hour, Luo Cheng answered the call.

The first time he met Jun, he deliberately went to bathe and change clothes.

He took off his armor and robe, and put on a purple robe with a jade belt and a crown with a purple ribbon and a gold seal.

As the chamberlain came to the palace, he turned left and right, and finally stepped into a large hall and saw the emperor in the palace.

According to the rules explained by the chamberlain, Luo Cheng didn't dare to raise his head and keep staring at the emperor, but just glanced at it the moment he entered the hall, and then immediately lowered his head.

At that glance, he could already see that the emperor was nearly half a hundred years old, and although his beard and hair were still black, his face was already a little pale. But the appearance is not bad, especially the temperament is very good.

And beside the queen, there seems to be a graceful and luxurious woman sitting, who looks very young, and I don't know if she is thirty or forty years old, very temperamental, very feminine.

He guessed that it was probably Empress Xiao.

"Chen Luocheng greets the Supreme!"

It is the duty of a courtier to praise and worship the name, and unless a certain level of seniority is reached, the emperor may be granted the qualification to praise and worship the nameless.

"Luo Cheng, raise your head."

A majestic voice came.
