Due to the failure of the first expedition to Goguryeo, the prestige that Yang Guang had established by annexing Tuyuhun and opening up the four northwestern counties began to waver. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info And due to military disasters and natural disasters, the Great Sui world starved all over the field, coupled with the defeat of Liaodong, the Goguryeo people used the corpses of the Sui army to build a wall, which made the army depressed and demoralized. Under Pei Ju's persuasion, in order to calm the morale of the army and prepare for the next expedition to Goguryeo, Yang Guang ordered the construction of a soul summoning platform in Zhuo County. Yang Guang sprinkled a glass of wine on the ground on the spiritualist platform.

"This first bottle of wine is toasted to the soldiers of the expedition to Liaodong, who defended the territory for the country, separated their wives and children, and worked hard, I respect them first."

"Border soldiers, defend the country and defend the land, open up the territory and make meritorious contributions, long live long live!" The ministers and guards next to him shouted for him.

"This second bottle of wine, salute to the martyrs of Liao, avenge them, and hate the country!"

"Weiwei martyrs, iron-blooded loyal souls, respect, respect!" The surrounding ministers and guards shouted together.

Yang Guangyou poured the third wine, "This bottle of wine, give it to God, may God help me to level Goguryeo." ”

Hearing Yang Guang's words, Li Jiancheng understood that Yang Guang's previous performance was just to prepare for the conquest of Goguryeo again, and my pace must be faster. After paying tribute to the soldiers who died on the battlefield of the conquest of Goguryeo, Yang Guang appeased the civil and military officials of Zhuo County and led the civil and military officials back to Chang'an. Li Jiancheng also returned to Chang'an with the escort of the forbidden army. After returning home, Li Jiancheng came to Li Yuan's face.

"Daddy! There's something I'd like to discuss with you. Li Yuan nodded and took him to his study.

"Built! Say anything! ”

"Father, now that Yang Guang has made people angry, I think we have to prepare early!" Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and didn't mean to stop him.

"Father, I think so, we are now in the capital, there is no power or no soldiers around us, and what Yang Guang has done over the years, I am afraid that this Great Sui World will not be a few days away, we might as well 。。。。。"

"Built, don't say it anymore, you must know that those who are ministers must do their best, and then die." Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng's face, although it was very serious, there was no blame.

"But your thoughts can also be considered, this matter can only be known by our father and son, and it cannot be revealed to others at all!"

"Yes!" Li Jiancheng is not the only one who has different intentions, Yang Xuangan has been idle at home since his father's death, he knows that Yang Guang has always been very suspicious of him, so he has been living in a simple place, and after Yang Guang ascended the throne, his continuous civil and martial arts have increased his imperial prestige, and his fear of Yang Guang has become stronger and stronger. However, as Yang Guang continued to expend the people's power in order to dig the Grand Canal and conquer Goguryeo, which led to the repeated civil uprisings, coupled with the failure of the first military campaign to conquer Liaodong, his heart began to come alive. These days, he keeps dreaming about his father:

"Father, where are you, father? Where are you? Father, the child misses you so much! ”

"Xuangan! He who dies for his father is not careful! The father was killed by Yang Guang with stratagem and poison, you are my Yang Su's son, you have to avenge your father! You must fulfill your father's wish! Our Yang family must have an emperor, we must have an emperor, we must have an emperor! ”

"Father!" Countless times, Yang Xuangan woke up from a dream. Oh, yes! I am my father's unfilial son, when I was young, I was not very smart when I was studying, and my actions were also very slow, and I was bullied by my classmates, and even my father's colleagues often joked about him, saying that he was an idiot, and asked Yang Su to throw him away, Yang Su often defended him in front of those people, saying that he was not stupid, and those colleagues who said he was stupid, such as Yu Qingze, Shi Wansui, and others, lost their lives and lost their lives, and it was because of his father's protection that he slowly picked up his self-confidence. also showed superhuman ability and martial arts, when he entered the officialdom as an adult, he soon had the same official position as his father in just a few years, with the reputation of the Yang family and two pillars, before Yang Guang ascended the throne, he was obedient to his father, if there was no help from his father, Yang Guang would never be able to sit on the dragon chair, but Yang Guang would take revenge, and he was suspicious of his father, and his father often said when he was alive that Yang Jian's grandfather was not a family with the ancestors of their family, he was simply a poor man, and he was not qualified to integrate into the Guanlongmen valve group. He would not be qualified to be the emperor, if he Yang Guang did not have him, he would not be worthy of being the prince at all, and it would be impossible for him to ascend the throne, and in the end he was killed by Yang Guang with treachery and poison. And those wall grasses still fell into the well, as soon as his father died, Mingli was respectful to him, in fact, he already knew Yang Guang's intentions and secretly excluded him, otherwise he would not have resigned from his official position at a young age in the name of his father's filial piety and was idle at home. A big husband can't be without power for a day, especially a person like him who has been a big official, he has always hated it in his heart. 'Hmmm! Father is blaming me for not being able to avenge him and make him uneasy in the underworld, and I must do this great thing. After Yang Xuan thought about it, he immediately began to plan. First of all, he asked his youngest brother Yang Jishan to go out to contact, because Yang Jishan was the youngest and was quite popular among the children of the capital family, so Yang Xuangan sent him to do so, so that it would not arouse Yang Guang's suspicion. A few days later, Yang Guang went to court, came to Hu'er and came to the front to please:

"Emperor Qi, everything is fine in Liao, but it is a little difficult to raise grain and grass, and now the Central Plains Treasury is empty, and the grain and grass need to be raised in Jiangnan, and after the raising, a special person is needed to escort Liaodong from Liyang, please send an important minister to sit in Liyang and dispatch from the side."

"Hmmm! Does Aiqing have any candidates? At this time, Fan Zigai, the head of the household, came out of the class to play.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommended a person, the original Ministry of Rites Shangshu, Shangzhu Guo, Situ, the son of Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, Yang Xuangan, has outstanding ability, originally because of his father's filial piety, resigned from his official position, and now the court is the time to employ people, and Lord Yang's filial piety expires, please Your Majesty is hired." After Fan Zigai finished speaking, Lai Hu'er also nodded in agreement, and after the two of them, several ministers came out to agree, and Yang Guang felt inexplicably tight when he heard Yang Xuangan's name. For Yang Su and their family, Yang Guang is actually very vigilant, but now that he has been in the rank for eight years, and what Fan Zigai said is not wrong, now is the time to employ people, Yang Xuangan's ability is also obvious to all, and Yang Su has been dead for so long, he is confident that Yang Xuangan will not be able to make any waves. Come to think of this:

"What Aiqing and Fan Aiqing said is reasonable, and the ability of Yang Situ's father and son is also obvious to all. Then send an order to Yang Xuangan, let him sit in Liyang, supervise the transportation of grain and grass for the Liao army, and ensure the supply of grain and grass for the Liao army. After Yang Guang gave the decree, a eunuch immediately went to Yang's mansion to announce the decree.

"The holy decree has arrived, please accept the decree of Lord Yang!" Yang Xuangan hurriedly greeted him after hearing it.

"Ahh Father-in-law is hard! Please! Yang Xuangan welcomed the eunuch who delivered the decree into the main hall, and knelt down to listen to Yang Guang's decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the ancient saying is cloudy, the country is chaotic and thinks of good generals, the family is poor and thinks of good wives, there is something in the country today, I must advance and retreat towards the civil and military forces, Aiqing father and son are the pillars of the country, and they should have great plans, but God does not bless me Dasui, the old pillar country died of illness, Aiqing mourned for his father, and now the mourning period has expired, and Qing should serve the country with filial piety! You are specially appointed to be the ambassador of Henan Xuanfu, stationed in Liyang, and preparing for the grain and grass affairs in Liaodong. Don't let me down! Chin this! Thank you! ”

"Minister Yang Xuan is grateful for the order!" Yang Xuan got up after thanking him and sent a gold ingot into the sleeve of the eunuch. The eunuch hurriedly tightened his sleeves.

"Oops! Lord Zhuguo, why be so polite! Having said that, his hand grabbed the cuff desperately as if he was afraid that the gold would be lost. Dealing with eunuchs a lot, Yang Xuangan naturally knows their virtues:

"My father-in-law is polite, I am tired of such a hard errand, and this point of mind is for the brothers to drink tea!" After speaking, someone handed over a plate of silver, and the guard next to the eunuch hurriedly took it.

"Lord Yang is really thoughtful, my lord must have a lot of official business to be busy, and our family has left."

"Father-in-law walks slowly. Father-in-law walks slowly. After the eunuch left, a subtle sneer flashed at the corner of Yang Xuangan's mouth. In the evening, Yang Xuangan set up a sumptuous banquet in the mansion, in addition to Yang Xuangan's six younger brothers, there were also Lai Yuan's second son Lai Yuan and the hereditary Pushan Duke Li Mi. Yang Xuangan raised his glass to toast to the abyss:

"Brother Lai, if it weren't for your father recommending me in front of Yang Guang, I wouldn't have come out so quickly."

"Brother Xuangan is polite, Brother Xuangan is talented, Yang Guang doesn't need you to be a mediocre talent, now you can come out of the mountain from scratch is your talent, not in the work." Although Lai Yuan is the son of Lai Hu'er, Lai Hu'er has twelve sons, and he is not valued by Lai Hu'er at home, and he can't get along with several brothers, but he has a close relationship with Yang Jishan, and through Yang Jishan's relationship, he got to know Yang Xuangan and admires Yang Su very much. Moreover, he himself is also a person who is uneasy about current affairs, especially seeing that Yang Guang is constantly squeezing the people's power in order to conquer Goguryeo, and the national civil changes are constantly ups and downs, but Yang Guang still does not change his national policy, and after insisting on going his own way, he feels that his time has come. As a close friend of the Yang family, Yang Su's ambition when he was alive and Yang Xuan's inner anguish could not be concealed from him.

And Li Mi inherited the title of Duke of Pushan during the Kaihuang period, and when Yang Guang first ascended the throne, he once served as Yang Guang's personal guard governor, and the East Palace was prepared. Once Yang Guang was robbed by Yang Su in the court once, he was in a bad mood, and he was wandering in the palace after the next court, and Li Mi was on duty that day, and Yang Guang met face to face, Yang Guang took a left look, and then took a look, and after returning to the harem, he asked Yu Wenshu, who was accompanying him:

"Who is that black-faced kid on duty today!"

"Your Majesty, that is the hereditary Duke of Pushan, Li Mi, the son of Li Kuan, the former Shangzhu State."

"This man's face is ugly and his stature is short, don't let him be on duty in the palace, let him go quickly. The province made me look annoyed. Although Li Mi was born in an aristocratic family, he was dark-skinned and short-stated, and Yang Guang was originally handsome, so he naturally wouldn't like Li Mi, Yuwenshu had been promoted by Li Kuan back then, and he couldn't bear to say to Li Mi directly, so he changed his words in front of him:

"Brother Xian's talent is so good, why bother to be a palace guard here who can only manage trivial matters, why don't you read more books while you are young? When the virtuous brother succeeds in his studies, I will definitely recommend it in front of the emperor, and it is possible to become the prime minister in the future! Li Mixin thought it was true, and immediately resigned from the government on the grounds that he was sick, and then worshiped Bao Kai, an assistant teacher of Guozijian and a famous literati at that time, as his teacher, and won Bao Kai's appreciation. Known as the first disciple. In order to study with peace of mind, he studied in seclusion in the suburbs of Chang'an, once Yang Su went hunting in the suburbs, met Li Mi, felt that Li Mi had great talent in the conversation, and instructed his sons to learn more from Li Mi, and once personally recommended to Yang Guang, but Yang Guang had been deeply jealous and disgusted with Yang Su, and was worried that Yang Su would form a party for personal gain, and he spoke even more unscrupulously:

"Yue Gong is talking about the person with a figure, a dark face and an ugly face! Needless to say. I wouldn't use him. After Yang Su came back, he passed Yang Guang's words to Li Mi in their original form, and since then, the seeds of Li Mi's hatred for Yang Guang have been buried deep in his heart.

"Brother Xuangan, you must not be as simple as wanting to be a new official this time! I don't know what big things I have in mind! Li Mi has already made his words public, and Yang Xuangan feels that there is no need to hide it.

"Since the Dharma Master Brother has said it clearly, I won't hide it from you, if I have something new, I don't know if you brothers are willing to help?" Yang Xuangan has already picked out the words very clearly. Yang Xuangan's third brother, Yang Xuanting, is a military general and speaks straightforwardly.

"Big brother, I have no objection to overthrowing Yang Guang, but if you want to gather troops, you must have money, grain and weapons, you are now sitting in Liyang, responsible for the dispatch of grain and grass in Liaodong, the problem of grain and grass is easy to solve, but this money and weapons." Yang Xuangan smiled slightly.

"You come with me." Yang Xuangan took them to the rockery in the back garden of Yang's mansion, and Yang Xuangan touched a strange rock and twisted it three times to the left. The rockery suddenly opened a hole, and Yang Xuangan took the torch and led everyone along the ladder all the way to the ground. I saw a large secret room under the rockery, with more than 40 large boxes in it. Yang Xuan felt that several of the boxes were opened, and under the imprint of the firelight, the gold jewelry inside shone with an alluring light.

"Big brother, what's the matter with all this gold and silver?"

"Every time my father went out on an expedition, he would secretly indulge some soldiers to loot, and then kill a few people in the name of strict military discipline, and collect the money they robbed, and he had accumulated so much in more than 20 years. In the past, it was for the eyes and ears of the eunuchs, so only I knew about it, but now it is just used as a military salary. Looking at the gold and silver, the faces of those present shone with excitement.
