Chapter 638: High-ranking officials promise
"I'm going to die?" The corners of Wan Yanliang's eyes shrank slightly, and he was a little displeased in his heart.
"I might as well tell you, I got a message from a special channel, as early as tonight, at the latest tomorrow night, there will be rebels who want to kill you, and then lead the troops back north to support others!" Yang Congyi put away the smile on his face, and his expression became serious.
"The rebels want to kill me? Who? Wan Yan Liang was shocked.
"I don't know who it is, but they'll do it today and tomorrow." Where did Yang Congyi know who was a traitor and who killed Wan Yanliang.
"I can't tell who it is, how do you make me believe you?" Wan Yanliang's face sank.
"Emperor affairs, since ancient times, it is better to believe what it is, not to believe it, if you don't believe it, just stay in the camp and see with your own eyes who is going to kill you?" Yang Congyi is not verbose, everyone is afraid of death, the emperor is even more afraid, and Wan Yanliang, who killed the monarch, is even worse, so he can't believe it.
As soon as these words came out, Wan Yanliang's heart trembled, and his mind immediately began to search for who would rebel and rebel, and wanted to take his life.
But after a while, Wan Yanliang was desperate to find that there was no absolutely credible person around him at all, and even the commander of the hard army, Agunai, who was originally absolutely trusted, was also very suspicious, otherwise why did he leave with his troops today? I have been in Yangzhou for so long, I don't go early or late, but today I brought 4,500 soldiers from 5,000 hard troops to Taizhou, and now there are less than 500 hard troops left in the entire Guishan Temple camp. Isn't it that Agunai conspired with those who had been clamoring to withdraw his troops and return to the north, wanting to kill him, ask Wan Yan Yong for credit, and take refuge in Wan Yan Yong?
The more Wan Yanliang thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was surrounded by traitors, and there was no credible person, and in an instant, cold sweat soaked the back of his clothes.
How did he conspire with those ministers at the beginning, kill Yan Kang, and seize the throne, although more than ten years have passed, he still remembers it vividly, if someone in the Guazhou camp really wants to kill him now, they will gather people to conspire, and he has no room for resistance at all, because even the only hard army he can absolutely trust has been taken away by Agunai, and the current Guishan Temple is an empty shell that no one can defend, and those rebels can come and kill him at any time!
What to do? Flee, or resist?
Wan Yanliang's head couldn't accommodate anything else, and he was all thinking about how to save his life.
Yang Congyi saw that Yan Liang was sweating profusely, his eyes were erratic, and his expression was lost, and he immediately said: "You are the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, how can it be so easy for the rebels to kill you." I came to tell you this news today, which is to save your life again, two ways, one is to strike first, summon the people who may rebel to the camp, and after interrogation, directly kill them, spread the whole army, and deter those who are swaying left and right, and the other is to evacuate this place for a while, and then gather loyal ministers and good generals to kill those who conspire to rebel. Which of these two roads is better, I don't know, because I'm just a businessman, and I don't know about your monarchs and generals. ”
Wan Yanliang didn't say anything, because he really didn't know who was a loyal minister, if even Agunai was not a loyal minister, who else was a loyal minister? Who else could have believed it?
He couldn't think of it, he couldn't think of a single one!
Since the failure of crossing the river in Hezhou, most of the ministers of the army persuaded him to lead the troops back north, for which he severely punished a few people, but now no one persuaded him to return north, but once asked about the plan to cross the river, all of them were silent, as if they were all dumb, and they still wanted to go back.
And those generals, after losing several battles, all cowered, no one was willing to lead the troops to cross the river, and finally had to let the military department Shangshu Yan Yuanyi personally coordinate the crossing of the river, although he was not very reluctant, but fortunately he was able to carry out the order and organize the crossing of the river, and the others, one counts as one, no matter how you look at it, it seems that they all have a rebellious heart.
Thinking about it, Wan Yan Liang's heart moved, maybe Wan Yan Yuanyi was trustworthy.
Wanyan Yuanyi only led the Shenwu Army at the beginning of the south, but when he attacked Shouchun, Luzhou, Zhaoguan, and Hezhou, he took the lead bravely, led the army all the way to defeat a number of stubborn resistance of the Song army, and in the battle for Hezhou, he killed more than 10,000 Song troops in a battle, and therefore promoted him to the newly established capital of Zhejiang West Province, and managed a large area of land and dozens of cities in Huaidong and Huaixi north of the Yangtze River.
Everything he has is given by Wan Yan Liang, official position, military power, he is gentle and calm, not impatient or impatient, he has been in the court for many years, and his performance in the past has always been excellent, so after coming to Guazhou, the guards stationed near the camp were also handed over to him to command and command, with his current power, there is no need to flatter Wan Yan Yong, and Wan Yan Yong can't give him everything he has.
From this point of view, Wanyan Yuanyi should have no possibility of rebellion.
After the initial panic, Wan Yanliang slowly calmed down, although he couldn't find anyone who could be absolutely trusted, he began to carefully speculate about who would rebel and who wouldn't, screen out some people who wouldn't rebel, and then gather them, which could become his knife to eliminate the rebel forces.
After being silent for a long time, Yang Congyi was a little breathless, and only listened to him: "Whether you want to think about it or not, I can help you, I have already helped you." At the beginning, I said that I came to do business this time, if you live, my business can be successful, and if you die, my business will continue to live and die. But that's all I can help you with. ”
Wan Yanliang was thinking hard about speculation, silently investigating suspicious people and people who should not rebel, and he had no time to pay attention to Yang Congyi.
Seeing that the other party was immersed in his own world, Yang Congyi knew that Yan Liang was in love.
As a person who has been on the throne for decades, if he learns the news that someone is going to rebel in advance, and he can't crush the rebellion conspiracy, then he, the emperor, will be too unsuccessful, even if he barely goes back alive, he is not Wan Yan Yong's opponent, and it will not be of much help to Yang Congyi's major affairs.
Now that the goal has been achieved, Yang Congyi doesn't want to sit here and witness the infighting between the emperor and the ministers and generals of the Jin Kingdom, and if he accidentally affects him, if he wants to go back safely, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
"You think about it slowly, I'll go back first. If you survive, in the future, the trade of goods between the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty, I hope I can get thirty percent! Leave! ”
After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Brother Yang stays!" Wan Yanliang behind him blurted out.
"You are the emperor, I'm just a small businessman, let's call me Yang Lao Wu, please take back the word 'Brother Yang', I can't afford it." Yang Congyi walked around and turned around.
Wan Yan Liang said: "What did Brother Yang say, more than ten years ago, when I was in trouble, it was Brother Yang who desperately saved me, and the great favor was not repaid, and he pointed me to the throne with a hidden poem, at that time you and I were commensurate with each other, and now although I am the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, but our brotherhood has not changed at all, if I call your name now, then I have really become a ruthless and unrighteous person!" You say yes, Brother Yang! ”
"When you say that, I can't refute it. But I'm just a small people, how can I be worthy of your brother, let people hear, and don't kill me? Yang Congyi excused.
"Brother Yang saved me twice, he is my benefactor and nobleman, with me, who dares to kill you!" After Yan Liang finished speaking, he took off a jade belt from his waist, got up and went down to the hall, and personally sent it to Yang Congyi.
"Take this jade belt Brother Yang away, see the jade belt as if you see me, see who dares to be unfavorable to you."
"This is not very good, my small people carry such valuable objects, if they are seen, they will definitely think that they are not coming from the right way, and if they don't steal, they will steal, and I am afraid that they will inevitably die in the end." Yang Congyi refused to resign.
"Brother Yang was originally worried about his status. I am the emperor, you are my brother, of course you can't be a commoner, so let's do it, I will make you the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, give you the post of the secretary of the household department, and take charge of my golden household department, how about it? After Yan Liang sealed the official with pride, he pushed the jade belt in his hand over again.
"No, no, I'm just a small people, I haven't done it in the village, how can I be in charge of the household? You'd better stop kidding! Yang Congyi shook his head and pushed the jade belt away.
"I am the Dajin Emperor, how can the words that come out of my mouth be a joke? That's it, from today on, Dajin Guo Feng Yang Lao Wu is the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, and he is given the post of secretary of the household department, and he is in charge of the Dajin household department, and in the future, the household affairs will not need to listen to any suggestions except me, let alone listen to other orders, and the household department will be completely in charge of you! This jade belt will be given to you, Yang Shangshu! Wan Yanliang was very serious, and handed over the jade belt again after speaking.
"It's only three things, and it would be rude if I didn't accept it again." Yang Congyi couldn't refuse, took the jade belt that still had body temperature with both hands, and then said: "I accepted the jade belt, as for the official position of the household department, I am really not competent, I usually do some business, and the money I handle is only a few hundred thousand yuan at most, where can I be in charge of the household department of the Jin country?" Besides, I am a Song person, I have always been a Song person, and my whole family is in Jiangnan, what am I going to do in the north alone? ”
"Brother Yang, don't shirk, you can do hundreds of thousands of business, and there will be no fewer people under your hands, to be in charge of the household is to be in charge of those small officials, and it is the same as you to do business and manage people, there is not much difference, the position of the household department is none other than you, so it is decided, and if you want to resign, I will not recognize you as a brother!" Wan Yanliang's tone was very firm.
"Okay then, I'll try. But the ugly words are ahead, if you don't do it well and can't do it, don't blame me for picking a son and leaving. Yang Congyi couldn't shirk it, so he could only take it.
"Okay, you and my brother conspire together, and I will never treat you badly. If you miss your relatives, I will send someone to Jiangnan to pick people up and reunite with you, if you are troublesome, the beauty of the Jin country is everywhere, I will give you ten or eight, and you will be a groom every night! ”
