At the same time that Yang Su followed Yang Jian's instructions and enthusiastically opened up a place for the emperor to have a tryst and have an affair with Feng Xiaoxi, Yang Guang, the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of Chen and the king of Jin, led a group of generals of the Eastern Route Army to escort the members of the Nanchen royal family captured in Jiangzuo and returned to the imperial capital Chang'an.

Yang Jian got the report, and immediately ordered the prince Yang Yong to personally go out of the city to greet Zhibaqiao Station on his behalf, and took Yang Guang and Gao Ying into Daxing Palace, and held a banquet in the palace on the same day, so as to wash the dust for the generals of the East Route Army who returned victorious.

Yang Jian had already learned from the military report sent back by the former enemy that the first person who made the first contribution to the battle of Chen was He Ruobi and Han Baohu, but the generals of the East Route Army who followed Yang Guang and Gao Ying into the palace and the banquet did not see the figures of He Ruobi and Han Baohu, and was about to ask Yang Guang why the two of them did not enter the palace to participate in the celebration banquet, when he saw Yang Guang get up first, approached him, attached to his ear, and quietly reported to him the fact that the two generals openly competed for merit at the Guangling Symposium and were ordered to be imprisoned and detained.

When Yang Jian heard that the two great heroes of the war against Chen were actually ordered by Yang Guang to be detained in the army, he couldn't help but be angry, and was about to open his mouth to order Yang Guang to release these two people immediately and invite them into the palace to participate in the celebration banquet, but he heard Yang Guang bow to him in a low voice: "The son does not know that the two of them will not be imprisoned and detained, but only in this way can the two of them not be ashamed of themselves, and ask their father to understand." ”

Yang Jian's eyes rolled, and he instantly understood his son's true intentions: only when Yang Guang came forward and punished the two great heroes of Chen, and then showed favor to him by himself, could He Ruobi and Han Baohu be in awe, not only did they dare not be arrogant, but they were also grateful to themselves and loyal to the court.

So, he glanced at Yang Guang with grateful eyes, motioned for him to turn back to his seat, turned to Gao Ying and ordered: "Fang Cai listened to Ah Zong's performance, saying that Han Baohu and He Ruobi would compete in Guangling, and he ordered him to be detained in the army, and he was not allowed to enter the palace and banquet. According to my meaning, it is common for the general to fight for merit after the war, and it is not enough to be punished severely, so I asked Dugu to go to the army in person and take the two of them into the palace to see me. ”

How could Gao Ying not understand the true intention of Yang Jian's father and son's contrived words, smiled slightly, got up and answered to obey the order, and personally went out of the palace to pick up He Ruobi and Han Baohu.

He Ruobi was at the meeting of Marshal Guangling Third Road that day, originally out of dissatisfaction with Han Baohu's ranking as the head of the meritorious generals of the Eastern Route Army, so he openly competed with him, and later because he insisted that Gao Ying, who was the head of the marshal's mansion, testify for him, accusing Han Baohu of indulging his sergeants to enter the city and loot people's property, ** palace maid, which aroused Gao Ying's disgust, and reprimanded him for forcibly abducting Chen Shubao to his own camp, so as to arouse Yang Guang's anger, and ordered him and Han Baohu to be imprisoned and detained in the army on the spot.

There is such a hurdle, He Ruobi naturally has some dissatisfaction with Gao Ying, and when Gao Ying was ordered to go to the prison to pick him up and Han Baohu into the palace and participate in the celebration banquet, he kept a cold face and ignored Gao Ying.

When he entered the palace and walked into the Daxing Hall where the celebration banquet was held, He Ruobi knelt down and gave the emperor a great gift of Jin Jian, but he unrelentingly told Yang Jian that the troubles of Han Capture Hu were coming.

According to Yang Jian's original intention, he originally wanted to first reward He Ruobi and Han Baohu, the two great heroes of Chen, at the celebration banquet, in order to appease his heart, but now when he saw He Ruobi enter the palace, he couldn't help but say, and Han Baohu pinched each other, and couldn't help but sink his face, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, personally got up and walked in front of the two generals, and ordered the eunuch to hold two wine bottles and hand them over to He and Han, and personally held the pot to fill the two bottles of wine. Relying on the strength of the two generals, this celebration banquet was set up for the two generals today, and I wanted to have a good time with the two generals and get drunk. Come and come, the two generals drank this bottle full, and the past was a little unhappy, so let it turn into this bottle of fine wine, and drink it into their stomachs. From this point on, no one is allowed to speak of it again. ”

Since the emperor said this, He Ruobi and Han Baohu couldn't say anything more, so they had to raise the wine bottle, drink it all on their backs, and were held by Yang Jian's left and right hands, sat down beside the emperor, and drank happily with the generals present.

Even so, Yang Jian witnessed the two generals competing for merit, and he couldn't help but have some dissatisfaction with He Ruobi and Han Baohu in his heart, so he changed his mind, and when he was drinking with the banquet crowd, he ordered Li Yuer to read out an edict about Yang Guang on the spot, and did not mention the reward for He Ruobi and Han Baohu.

"This book orders the king of Jin to be widely a lieutenant, and all the soldiers and horses in the world are subject to his control." Although the words of the edict were very brief, it caused a commotion and commotion among the banquet generals.

To Yang Jian's surprise, as soon as Li Yu'er's words in reading out the edict of reward, Shangshu's left servant shot Gao Ying was the first to stand up, bowed to him, and admonished: "The king of Jin was entrusted by the saint to lead the three armies to attack Chen, and his contribution was great, so he should be rewarded. Ranchen thought that the position of Tai Lieutenant had been abolished for a long time since the Han Dynasty and was not suitable for granting it lightly. And the king of Jin was young and crowned, and suddenly held the military power in the world, and the generals in the army were not convinced. Therefore, please retract this edict and reward His Royal Highness the King of Jin. ”

As soon as Gao Ying said this, the huge Daxing Hall became silent, and everyone's eyes focused on Yang Jian.

Among the generals at today's banquet, most of them know that before the edict of Hua Chen, the emperor specially issued an edict of marriage, ordering Gao Ying, the first minister of the dynasty, and Yang Yong, the prince who was under house arrest, to form a family of sons and daughters.

Only Yang Jian, the ancestor of Sui Gaozu who awarded this award, knew that Gao Ying was a human being and understood in his heart: Gao Ying was by no means based on his own selfish thoughts, so he openly opposed his hand over the military power of the DPRK and China to Yang Guang alone, and he was sincerely worried that Yang Guang's qualifications were too shallow and difficult to convince the public, so he publicly advised himself.

"Dugu, do you want me to take back the edict I just announced?" The reason why Yang Jian did not discuss with Gao Ying and other important ministers in the court in advance, he canonized Yang Guang as the captain in charge of all the soldiers and horses in the world, and he had the reason that he was not enough to explain to outsiders, so he ignored Gao Ying's outspoken advice, picked up the wine bottle in front of him, and asked Gao Ying lightly, then turned to the banquet generals and continued to persuade the generals to drink.
