Chapter 363: Yang Shuang's Northern Expedition
Pei Ju took the entrustment of Yang Guang's uncle and nephew, and hurriedly left Bingzhou to return to Chang'an, and on the third day after the two servants of the stage, Zhang Wei and Wang Shao, returned to Bingzhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In front of his sickbed, Yang Guang listened to the reports of the two servants who had gone to Zhuzhou to supervise the resumption of spring ploughing, and explained to them his intention to rebuild Buddhist temples and re-advocate Buddhism, so as to solicit the opinions of the two main assistants.
This time, Zhang Wei, the left servant of the Xingtai who had different views with Yang Guangzheng, also strongly agreed with Yang Guang's plan to take advantage of the opportunity of promoting Buddhism to try to win people's hearts, and Wang Shao, the right servant of the Xingtai, expressed his support at the same time, and also reminded Yang Guangdao: "Lord, according to the knowledge of the lower officials, after the previous dynasty attacked and destroyed the former Qi, he issued an edict to strictly order the monks and nuns to return to the world, and a large number of monks and nuns were trapped in their livelihoods, so they had to live under the right door of the local family as slaves. If the prince wants to re-advocate Buddhism in the prefectures under the rule of Hebei Province, once the monks and nuns who were previously ordained and practiced are ordered to return to the Buddhist temple, will it again attract the opposition of the noble right of the family? The prince must not be prepared for it. β
Since Wang Shao took the initiative to mention the matter of the gathering and merging of the state by the right of the families and the state, and asking for the slaves, Yang Guang told the two servants about the before and after of the matter, and finally said: "I was entrusted by my father to take charge of the government affairs of Hebei Province and Taiwan with the two servants. This time, I want to re-advocate Buddhism, if the government offices of the prefectures collude with the local families and the right, and want to do wrong, this king will not be spared. β
Zhang Weizhi was in charge of the Ministry of Taiwan Officials, and when he heard Yang Guang bluntly expose the collusion and collusion between the Zhuzhou Government Office and the local wealthy right, he felt that his face was quite unbearable, and he hurriedly got up and apologized to Yang Guang: "It is the negligence of the lower officials that will cause such a situation, please rule the crime of dereliction of duty of the lower officials." β
Yang Guang originally just wanted to tell the two servants of the stage that the state government office and the local family were secretly colluding to confront the imperial court, and asked them to take precautions, but he never expected that Zhang Wei would take the initiative to ask him to punish him, so he was busy leaning on the couch and stretched out his hand to help him: "Zhang Servant is serious." This king has already noticed that among the thousands of officials in the nineteen state capitals under the rule of Hebei Province, seven or eight out of ten are old Qi officials, and the father and emperor still have to appoint these people out of necessity. However, we must also pay more attention to this matter, and after the situation in the north stabilizes, the Ming court should be sent to the Ming court to send a group of officials who are loyal to the court to serve in Hebei as soon as possible, so as to gradually weaken the power of the local family and the right. β
Wang Shao also got up and arched his hand and said: "What the prince said is very true, the Kwantung family is the most powerful in the Hebei Prefecture Mansion, and the high-ranking families in the world such as the Fanyang Lu family and the Zhaojun Li family can be said to be all over the government and the opposition, and they have gradually become a big trend. As the prince just said, it is a law to simply promote officials to serve in Hebei and gradually eliminate the old Qi officials, but if you can gather the hearts of the heroes of Hebei and make them serve the imperial court, wouldn't it be more convenient? β
Wang Shao himself was born in the Wang family, one of the right of the family, and Li Xiong, who is currently the secretary of the military department of Taiwan, was born in the Li family of Zhao County, and both of them can be called the representatives of the Hebei family Hao right to serve the imperial court. Therefore, Yang Guang listened to Wang Shao's suggestion that he should use both grace and power, and take a two-pronged approach, mainly to win over the Hebei family Haoyou and the Great Sui court to stand aside, and to take various methods to invade their sphere of influence as a supplement to treat the Hebei family Haoyou, although he felt that he had some truth in his heart, but because he himself was born in a family Haoyou, he could not help but have reservations about his words.
"Whether it is to be used by the imperial court, or to use thunderous means to strictly rectify it, it can only be carried out after the situation in the north is restored. Now that the two servants have returned to Bingzhou, I wonder if they have ever seen the marching marshal Wei Wang? Yang Guang was noncommittal to Wang Shao's suggestion, and instead asked if they had seen Yang Shuang after returning to the city.
"The lower officials and others heard that the prince was injured after falling from his horse, and as soon as he returned to Bingzhou, he rushed to report to the prince, and he has not yet met His Royal Highness King Wei."
"I am injured, I am unable to move on weekdays, you pay attention to it for me, if King Wei decides to lead the army out of the customs one day, he must report it to me in time, and he must not hide anything." Seeing that the two-month deadline previously agreed with Luo Yu was approaching, Yang Guang was worried that at the last moment, the sixth uncle would lead the army out of the customs, so that he would lose his success, so that his long-term plan of "separating the strong and combining the weak" proposed by the chief Sun Sheng would fail, so he gave this explanation to the two servants.
However, the situation that Yang Guang didn't want to see had already appeared at the same time that he and Zhang and Wang were discussing government affairs. Yan Rong, the vanguard general under Yang Shuang, the commander of the marching army, who enjoyed the right of exclusivity, led 20,000 vanguard troops north out of Yanmen Pass and stationed in Baidaozhou, which was hundreds of miles away.
Three days ago, Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, wrote a piece of music in his own handwriting, and asked Pei Ju, who was anxious to return to Beijing to report to Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo that Yang Guang was unable to return to Chang'an on time due to injury, and presented it to Yang Jian. In the recital, Yang Shuang made clear to Yang Jian his military intention of leading the army out of the pass and forcing Sha Boluo to withdraw from the northwest by storming the tent of the Turkic Great Khan, and asked Yang Jian to order the northwest armies to closely cooperate with him, and to inflict heavy losses on the main Turkic force when Sha Bolu was in a hurry to withdraw his troops and return to rescue Dujin Mountain.
After Pei Ju left, Yang Shuang took into account that Yang Guang had just been injured and broke his leg, and he didn't want to quarrel with him again, so he waited patiently in Bingzhou City for another two days, but still couldn't wait for the news that Luo Yu persuaded Sha Boluo to withdraw from the northwest, so he immediately made a decision and sent an order to the vanguard general Yan Rong, asking him to lead 20,000 troops to go north out of Yanmen Pass first, rush to Baidaozhou to station, and wait for his general order at any time to launch a strong attack on Wuyuan City.
On the third day of Yan Rong's departure with the army, that is, the day after Zhang and Wang returned to Bingzhou, Yang Shuang took the initiative to make an appointment with two Xingtai servants to bid farewell to Yang Guang in person.
When Yang Guang learned that Yang Shuang had ordered the vanguard troops to leave the Yanmen Pass in the north two days ago, he knew that the agreement he had made with Luo Yu two months ago was about to come to naught again, so he no longer insisted on dissuading Yang Shuang from leading the army out of the pass and took the initiative to attack the Turks, but asked Yang Shuang to treat the Turkic departments differently, concentrate his military strength on the Sha Boluo tribe army led by Yongyu Lu, and try to avoid a head-on conflict with the army of the Luo Yu Division.
"Ah Zong, it's time for this, are you still delusional that Chu Luo Yu will really persuade Shetu to withdraw his troops from the northwest?" Yang Shuang was quite unimpressed by Yang Guang's too naΓ―ve and persistent, and asked him with a wry smile.
