Volume 5 Whose Great Cause Chapter 93 King Shu
Yang Yan is not a stupid person, when he heard his mother's order, he immediately reacted, and hurriedly walked towards Yang Guang's location with a wine glass, Yang Ge, Yang Yu and others also followed behind Yang Yan, and for a while, more than a dozen princes and princesses rushed in the direction of Yang Guang.
Immediately, some officials discovered the movements of Yang Yan and the others, and the ministers who were still enjoying the singing and dancing while eating and drinking suddenly quieted down, and their eyes turned around on this group of princes, princesses, and Yang Guang, and many ministers were thoughtful.
"Uncle Huang, my nephew toasts you, I wish Uncle Huang good health and ...... heart Be in a good mood. Yang Yan originally wanted to say that his wish came true, but after thinking about it, what if Yang Guang still wanted to be the emperor, he hurriedly changed it.
"I wish Uncle Huang good health and a happy mood!" Later, Yang Ge, Yang Yu and others also followed.
"Good ......" Yang Guang's hand holding the wine glass trembled a little, he and Concubine Xiao had two sons and a daughter, but the eldest son died ten years ago, and the other son and a daughter were affected by him, and they were exiled in Ryukyu at the moment, the eldest son was actually infected and died in Ryukyu, which made him deeply blame, if he didn't covet the throne, the eldest son might not have died, and the other son and daughter did not have to suffer on overseas islands. Now that he sees Yang Yan and others, how can he not think of his children?
As soon as the wine in the cup was drained, Yang Guang's eyes moistened, but Yang Yan didn't feel much, for him, toasting Yang Guang was just completing a mission given to him by his father.
The princes, the princess toasted Yang Guang is just a small episode of the emperor's birthday, seeing that the princes have finished toasting to the emperor, more ministers rushed up to toast the emperor, after this episode, the officials no longer avoid Yang Guang like a snake and scorpion. I secretly admired the emperor's broad-mindedness.
However, some people disagreed with the emperor's actions, speculating that the emperor's drunkard did not mean to drink, I am afraid that he wanted to dispel the doubts of the king of Shu thousands of miles away. Prompt the King of Shu to enter Beijing as soon as possible.
Yizhou, Chengdu County, here is the land of abundance, tea, salt, iron, silk...... Not only is it self-sufficient, but there is also a lot of surplus to sell, so Yizhou has an exceptionally developed economy. Agriculture, silk industry, handicrafts, and commerce are all famous all over the world, and the owner of this Chengdu county is Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, who has ruled the entire Yizhou for more than 30 years, so that in Yizhou, ordinary people only have the king of Shu, and they don't know that there is an emperor.
The Shu Mansion is located in the center of Chengdu and covers a vast area. The inside is even more beautiful, the golden wall is brilliant, even the palace of Daxing City is not inferior, the stargazing tower on the rockery of the Shu Wangfu is as high as nine floors, standing on the top floor of the stargazing building, the whole Chengdu Mansion has a panoramic view, so that people will be proud unconsciously.
Privately built nine-storey building. In fact, it is already a kind of transgression. It's just that in Yizhou, the king of Shu is the sky, although it is inevitable that someone will report it to the court in private. However, when Yang Xiu did not go down from the position of the king of Shu, no one could do anything about the king of Shu.
At this moment, Yang Xiu was sitting on the chair above the stargazing tower, and at this time, instead of having any pride on his face, he had a sad face.
Yang Xiu is over forty years old, and his excellent life makes him very well maintained, and his face is extremely white, but he is inevitably obese. Sitting there is like a lump of meat. There was no longer the same beautiful appearance as before, but a young man in his twenties behind him looked dignified. It is very similar to Yang Xiu when he was young.
"Guazi, you said that if my father resolutely refuses to enter Beijing, will the emperor send troops to attack?"
The melon seed is the nickname of Yang Xiu's eldest son, for this son, Yang Xiu seems to be particularly fond of him, almost all major events have to be discussed with his son in the stargazing building, anyway, there are nine floors here, as long as someone is sent to guard the downstairs, he is not afraid that someone will eavesdrop.
This is more than a month after the emperor's birthday, before the emperor's birthday, he sent three groups of envoys, so that the king of Shu himself went to Beijing to celebrate the emperor's birthday, but Yang Xiu has been unmoved, these years, the emperor does not know how many times to let Yang Xiu enter Beijing, but Yang Xiu has been ignored.
Yang Xiu was reluctant to enter Beijing at first because the king of Jin was plotting rebellion, Yang Xiu was worried that he would lose power when he entered Beijing, and later, with the more refusals, Yang Xiu was calm, the road to Yizhou was difficult and dangerous, and he had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, unless the emperor sent troops to attack, otherwise he was helpless.
He is the king of Yizhou, he can do whatever he wants, how can he be willing to return to the capital, in case the emperor detains him in the capital and takes back the fief of Yizhou, how is it good? So Yang Xiu found an excuse to shirk every time, but fortunately, the emperor seemed to acquiesce in what he did over the years, and he never treated him too harshly, sometimes he just gave orders to persuade gently, and Yang Xiu became more and more unconcerned.
However, this time is obviously different, several groups of envoys before the emperor's birthday are fine, just persuade him to enter Beijing, this time the envoys with the emperor's will are very strict, when the envoys arrived yesterday, directly ordered Yang Xiu to set off for Beijing within three days, if it is delayed again, it will be punished as a rebellion.
"Father, don't worry, the road to Shu is difficult, how can the army say that it will be sent, and Su Xing will not do anything, and directly kill the Qincha, the emperor asked, and said that he had not seen any Qincha." Yanggua said viciously.
"Killed?" Yang Xiu's eyes narrowed, and he was moved, but he immediately came back to his senses: "It's not proper, it's not proper, yesterday I picked up the wind for the Qin Cha, and there are quite a few officials who have seen the Qin Cha, and it is inevitable that some officials will show their mouths, even if they kill it, it will be useless, not to mention that this Qin Cha is no one else, he is still the second son of Tang Wang, and he is still his own relative." ”
"But if my father doesn't kill him, I can't do it, can't my father really set off to return to Beijing in three days?"
Yang Xiumeng shook his head, if he wanted to let him enter Beijing, it would be sadder than killing him: "Of course the lonely king will not return, in this way, from tomorrow onwards, the lonely king will not show up, and you will receive the Qin cha, and after three days, it will be said that the lonely king is seriously ill and is not good for walking." ”
Yang Gua couldn't help laughing: "Father, you have been sick more than ten times, I'm afraid not this time." ”
Yang Xiu stretched out five short fingers in annoyance and patted them on the head, sighing.
"Father doesn't have to worry, it's better for the child to go to Beijing instead of the father."
Yang Xiu hesitated and said, "Is this okay?" ”
Yang Gua said: "The father is fat, not durable, the child is the son of the king of Shu, it is a matter of course to enter Beijing instead of the father, even the emperor can not catch any handles, the child has long heard that the capital is prosperous, and there is an endless stream of foreigners, and the child is just going to open his eyes and see how it compares with Chengdu?" ”
Yang Xiu was greatly moved when he heard this: "Good son, don't lose your father's love for you, or you can share your father's worries, in this way, you will set off tomorrow to follow Qincha back to Beijing, and the emperor will even release the second brother, and I will not embarrass you, a junior." ”
Just when Yang Xiu and his son discussed how to deal with the Qin Cha, Li Shimin, who served as the Qin Cha, was also discussing with the deputy envoy how to let the King of Shu enter Beijing, Yizhou was the rear of the capital, the emperor had been thinking of brotherhood, and because he wanted to use troops externally, he did not want to have internal strife, the emperor tolerated the King of Shu in every way, and now the King of Shu has become a country of his own in Yizhou, although there are taxes paid to the court every year, but the officials appoint, and the right to recruit the army is all in the hands of the King of Shu, and the emperor naturally cannot tolerate it all the time.
Li Shimin just over 20 years old, he is a former Ke Ming Jing Ke Di Jinshi, the imperial examination has become more and more formal through several circles, Ming Jing, Ming History, Ming Zi, Ming Law four subjects into a trend of going hand in hand, but in the minds of ordinary scholars, Ming Jing a subject of scholars is still higher than the other three subjects, this view even the emperor can not change, Yang Yong had to try to lower the admission ratio of Ming Jing a subject, but in this way, the Ming Jing a subject is extremely difficult, but it confirms the Ming Jing a subject superior status.
He said that with Li Shimin's qualifications, he was not qualified to serve as the king of Xuanshu to enter Beijing, not to mention that this time it was equivalent to an ultimatum to the king of Shu, but he didn't expect the emperor to hit Li Shimin, which made many ministers puzzled, if it was said that because Li Shimin and the emperor were related, the emperor took care of it, and Li Yuan's relationship was more close, but Li Yuan was very unsatisfactory, for more than ten years, Li Yuan has been turning around in the official position of Wupin, not up or down, very embarrassing.
The king of Shu is unruly, he has been unwilling to enter Beijing for more than ten years, this time to let the king of Shu obediently enter Beijing, how easy it is to say, forced to be in a hurry, maybe even Qincha has his life in danger, Li Shimin knows that Yizhou is a tiger's den, but it is also his opportunity, if he can let the king of Shu enter Beijing, the court will not move the sword soldiers to bring Yizhou into the rule again, and his credit is naturally indispensable.
For his father for more than ten years not to be promoted, Li Shimin is often indignant, Li Yuan naturally will not talk to his son about the gap between his youth and the emperor, in Li Shimin's view, his father's talent is not to say that he is the head of a county, that is, he is out of the cabinet and into the prime minister, and it is more than enough to become the chief official of the six departments, the emperor has always been wise, but he is confused about his father, which is naturally the emperor's prejudice against his father, Li Shimin swore on the road that this time he must let the king of Shu enter Beijing honestly, make contributions, and correct the emperor's prejudice against his father.
Yesterday's meeting, Li Shimin has seen through the idea that the King of Shu does not want to enter Beijing, and he is very unusual, he plans to wait for the King of Shu to see him again, if the King of Shu still refuses to enter Beijing, he will directly take him hostage.
Regarding Li Shimin's idea, the deputy envoy shook his head again and again in surprise, holding the prince of this dynasty hostage, this idea is too crazy, not to mention that this is in other people's territory, if you are not careful, you will lose your life first.
"Don't worry, you don't have to do it tomorrow, I will do it myself." Seeing that the deputy envoy was a little scared, Li Shimin hurriedly persuaded him.
It's not the same who does it, could it be that if Li Shimin misses, he will be able to escape, the deputy envoy felt bitter in his heart, but he knew that it was impossible to beat Li Shimin, so he could only nod helplessly.
