Qinghe Gong! ”

"Tall, sir!"

At the ferry more than ten miles outside Jiankang City, Gao Ying and Yang Su met, and the two sides had a good courtesy. It's just that Yang Su couldn't hide a trace of disappointment in his eyes, Yang Su came to Jiankang this time, in addition to taking a five-tooth battleship, he also brought four medium-sized Qinglong battleships, a Qinglong battleship can carry two hundred soldiers, four is eight hundred, plus two hundred people on the five-tooth battleship, plus three hundred war horses, Yang Su's escort is as high as a thousand, including three hundred cavalry.

In addition to Gao Ying, not only did the prince not come, but the king of Jin did not come, even He Ruobi, Han Baohu and others did not come, Gao Ying of course did not need to bring so many guards, so the scene of welcoming Yang Su was a little cold, and there were not many people who came to greet him.

This scene, even Gao Ying was a little embarrassed, although Yang Su could not be compared with the King of Qin, after all, he was the marshal of the marching army, and the prince came in person, the prince could not welcome it, but the scene was so cold, it was always a bit too much.

"Qinghe Gong, the journey has been hard, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy, and he can't meet him for a while, and I hope Qinghe Gong won't care too much." Gao Ying is the left servant of Shangshu, Yang Su is the imperial historian, both of them are the emperor's most trusted ministers, and the relationship between the two sides actually gets along well, so Gao Ying will explain.

"Lord Gao, you have killed this official, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the king, how can this official be virtuous, dare to bother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to greet him." Yang Su's face was calm, and Gao Ying couldn't tell whether it was true or not from his face.

"That's good, Qinghe Gong. Please! ”

"Lord Gao, please!"

Along the way, Yang Su kept asking Gao Ying about the recent events in the city, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart, not knowing whether the matter in Xiangzhou was exposed, and he was relieved when he saw Gao Ying at a loss.

Yang Su and Gao Ying had just entered the city, when a fast horse drove in front, and an East Palace guard came directly to the two of them. He shouted loudly, "Lord Gao." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order. Please take Qinghe Gong directly to the prince's mansion. ”

"This ......" Gao Ying and Yang Su both looked at each other, the prince was not too unsympathetic, so he didn't even give Yang Su time to settle down.

"Lord Gao doesn't have to be embarrassed, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a hurry to meet the official, the honor of the official at that time, the official should see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first." Yang Su replied calmly.

"Good. It's just Qinghe Gong's guards...... "Gao Ying swept the guards behind Yang Su, and it was impossible for any courtier to go to see the prince with so many people.

"It doesn't matter, then you still need Lord Gao's subordinates to take them to settle down first, and the official only needs to bring fifty followers."

"My lord, isn't fifty too many?" One of the guards sniffed a hint of unease and whispered a reminder.

Yang Su shook his head and motioned for the guard to go down, raising the tips of his ears. Hear the whispers of Yang Su's guards. Hurriedly said: "Qinghe Gong rest assured, although Jiankang is the former Chen Capital, but." Our army has been in Jiankang for several months, and has already purged the former Chen Yus in the city, and does not need too many guards. ”

The guard had no choice but to sneer, Gao Yingdi's identity was only higher than Yang Su's, if there was any problem with following Gao Ying, wouldn't it be suspicious of Gao Ying. Soon, the entire team was divided into two teams, Gao Ying and Yang Su and their party of no more than 100 people went in the direction of the Prince's Mansion, and most of the rest of the guards went in the other direction.

Under the leadership of Gao Yingdi, Yang Su and his entourage quickly walked through the streets and alleys to the outside of the Prince's Mansion, today's Prince's Mansion is no different from the past, the guards in front of the door are still those few people, now it is May in the south of the Yangtze River, the entire Prince's Mansion is full of purple and red, and you can smell all kinds of flowers from the mansion when you stand at the door.

"Lord Gao, Lord Yang, the prince is invited!"

Seeing the two of them coming, the guards at the door stopped them, and without waiting for a report, they directly invited them into the mansion, and sent a person to lead the way, but the guards behind the two were naturally taken to another place.

The Prince's Mansion was quiet and peaceful, except for the occasional guards standing guard on the road, there was no one to see at all, but Yang Su suddenly had a palpitating feeling, this feeling had saved his life several times on the battlefield, but what danger would be in the Prince's Mansion, Yang Su couldn't help but shake his head, secretly thinking that he was too sensitive.

"Qinghe Gong, the prince is inside, please!" The guard stopped in front of a small courtyard and pointed to the main entrance of the courtyard.

Gao Ying frowned, the prince usually met the minister in the main courtyard, how could he change it to the small courtyard today, he was about to step in, Lu Mulin paced out of the small courtyard: "Lord Gao, the prince wants to see Lord Yang alone, Lord Gao, please come with the lower officials." ”

Everyone knew that Lu Mulin was a confidant of the prince, and when he heard that the prince was going to summon Yang Su in person, Gao Ying had to stop and said to Yang Su: "Qinghe Gong, since the prince is going to summon him alone, there must be something important, and the official will not bother." ”

Yang Su was vaguely aware of something wrong at this time, but he had already arrived here, and he couldn't help thinking about it, so he had to arch his hand to Gao Ying: "Thank you Lord Gao for leading the way, that official has seen the prince first." ”

Before Gao Ying could return the salute to Yang Su, Lu Mulin had already said to Gao Ying: "Lord Gao, please come here!" ”

Gao Ying had no choice but to follow Lu Mulin in another direction, but just after walking dozens of steps, a squeaky sound suddenly came from behind, Gao Ying couldn't help but turn his head to look back, only to see that Yang Su had just walked into the small courtyard, and the courtyard door was closing.

Lu Mulin has been bringing Gao Ying to the hall where Yang Yong usually summons ministers, Gao Ying was stunned for a moment, the hall was already full of people, King Jin, King Qin, He Ruobi, Han Baohu, Wang Shao, Xue Daoheng...... Almost all the middle and high-ranking generals in Jiankang City were there, and the prince who was supposed to meet Yang Su in that small courtyard was sitting tall in the middle at this moment.

Yang Yong cast an inquiring look at Lu Mulin, and when he saw Lu Mulin nodding, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Gao Ying: "Gao Aiqing is here, please take a seat!" ”

Gao Ying nodded blankly, his mind was blank, what was going on just now? With so many people gathered together at the moment, it was obvious that he wanted to discuss something important, but why did the prince lead Yang Su away alone, and he also used a deceitful hand, he couldn't help but look at the faces of others. A lot of people are whispering, apparently not knowing what's going on?

Seeing Gao Ying sit down, Yang Yong tapped the table with his hand

Everyone quieted down before they said in a deep voice: "I have an unfortunate thing to tell you today, my father said before that the first thing to do this time is to eradicate the evil rebellion and save the people in the south. People of the South. He is also a minister; The palace has also repeatedly emphasized military discipline. So far, he did not hesitate to kill a hussar general, but there are still people who ignore their father's edict and disregard human life; In this expedition, after a slight setback, he brazenly ordered the slaughter of the city, killing tens of thousands of people at a time, in order to cover up the evidence of the massacre. Let people set fire to the city, let's talk about it, how should this palace deal with this person? ”

"Prince, who is so bold?"

"yes, who the hell is it?"

"Prince, this still needs to be considered, no matter who it is. Killing him with a knife is cheap. ”

"Yes. Killed, this person is so wolf-hearted, how can he be worthy of the tens of thousands of people who died if he doesn't kill? ”

……

As soon as Yang Yong's words were finished. There was an uproar below, especially the Qingzhou military generals shouted the most fiercely, when they attacked Jiankang, they only paid 31 lives for violating military discipline, and even the Qingzhou governor was beaten with 60 sticks, and now someone has committed a crime 100 times more serious than them, how can they be convinced if they don't kill.

Yang Yong waved his hand, and everyone quieted down again: "This person thought he was doing seamlessly, but he didn't expect that the sky net was restored, and the paper couldn't contain the fire after all, or he thought that even if the palace knew, he could rely on his father's favor to him, so that the palace was helpless, and now that the palace knew, he also told you Aiqing about it, you can talk about it, can this palace ignore the court just because he is an important minister of the court?" ”

"Prince, who is it? This man should be beheaded! ”

"Yes, whoever it is, behead!"

……

Gao Ying's face was pale, if he didn't know who the prince's important ministers were at this time, then he wouldn't be Gao Ying, if the prince really killed this person, how would the emperor react, if the father and son conflicted, wouldn't it be in danger to the foundation of the Great Sui. Thinking of this, Gao Leng sweated out, and quickly stood up and persuaded: "Prince, don't be impulsive, since it involves important ministers in the court, you must deal with it carefully, the prince might as well take this person into custody first, send him back to the capital, and hand it over to the emperor to deal with." ”

Everyone looked at Gao Ying in confusion, and Yang Junqi said: "Gao Aiqing, if this matter is true, this person is innocent of death, if everything has to be handled by my father, what are we doing with courtiers?" ”

Even the King of Qin, who believed in Buddhism, agreed to kill this person, not to mention other people, and there was a serious voice in the hall dealing with this person, but there were also some people who were thinking, who was the person the prince was talking about?

Yang Guang frowned, as the marching marshal, he had never heard of the massacre of the city, thinking that Yang Yong had deliberately concealed it from him, and he couldn't help but sulk in his heart. Buzzing and humming, he said, "What is the matter with Brother Wang, and who ordered the slaughter of the city?" ”

"Yes, where the hell was the slaughter of the city, who gave the order, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to explain." The others reacted and talked for a long time, only knowing that someone was slaughtering the city, but they didn't know who it was and where they were, which was a bit confusing.

Yang Yong took out an official document from the table and threw it into Lu Mulin's hand: "Lu Aiqing, you can read it." ”

Lu Mulin took the official document and read it, this official letter is Yang Suxiang's good news of Jiankang's capture of Xiangzhou, which lightly attributed the burning of Xiangzhou to a sudden fire, without mentioning the slaughter of the city, but everyone is well-informed, a city is burned to the point of being uninhabitable, and a new city must be rebuilt.

After reading the official document, Lu Mulin sent someone to Xiangzhou to collect evidence after the prince found out the suspicions, and only then did he learn that Xiangzhou was slaughtered.

After Lu Mulin finished speaking, Yang Yong picked up a stack of papers from the table, raised his voice and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the investigation of the people sent by the palace to Xiangzhou to collect evidence, there are several officers and soldiers who participated in the massacre, and now these people are already on the way to Jiankang, and they will arrive in a few days, and there is no doubt about the slaughter of the city in Xiangzhou." ”

Although the prince has not yet named him, everyone already knows who the prince is going to do, and for a while, the hall is silent except for the sound of sizzling and gasping.

Who is Yang Su? Imperial Doctor, the right Xiaowei general, the lord of Qinghe County, this time Chen, and the king of Jin, the king of Qin on an equal footing of the marching marshal, no matter which position, is higher than most of the people present, not to mention a collection of several positions, the most important thing is that everyone knows how much the emperor favors Yang Su, even if Mrs. Yuan Pei sues him for rebellion, he can still get out.

"What, it's all dumb, the prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that he Yang Su is not a prince yet?" Yang Yong had a straight face and looked at everyone coldly, and everyone hurriedly lowered their heads to avoid Yang Yong's gaze and thought about it.

Yang Guangyi changed the sullenness just now, since it was Yang Su, it was none of his business, and suddenly his heart moved, and he vaguely felt that if he could marry Yang Su, it would be of great benefit to him in the future, seeing Yang Yong's eyes looking at him, his heart was horizontal, and he said: "Big brother, Yang Su is an important minister of the country after all, it is better to take Yang Susuo to Beijing according to what Gao Aiqing said, how to decide, my father has his own disposal." ”

Everyone looked at Yang Guang with grateful eyes, since the King of Jin spoke, they didn't have to be mixed in the middle to make it difficult, and they were all in agreement.

"What King Jin said is reasonable, and this matter still needs to be decided by the emperor."

"Yes, the stakes are very high, and it is better for the emperor to judge them."

……

"Okay, since everyone's opinion is like this, the palace can't be arbitrary, let the emperor decide, it's just that the third road army is currently leaderless, in order to prevent mutiny, a general is needed to temporarily take the position of marching marshal, General Han Baohu!"

"The last general!"

"How about you temporarily take the place of Marshal of the Third March?"

"The last general obeys!"

"That's all for today, everyone disband!"

"Your Highness is wise, the ministers are retiring!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they still needed some hard persuasion, but they didn't expect the prince to speak so well today, everyone seemed to be under a heavy burden, and the hall suddenly scattered like birds and beasts.
