Chapter 197: Counter-News at First Sight
Huazhou is only two or three hours away from Chang'an, and Wang Shichong kept saying that there was a change in the Huazhou army, that is, he told Yang Guangming that the government army stationed in Huazhou was going to rebel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Yang Guang listened, he didn't dare to wait for it anymore, he hurriedly picked up Wang Shichong with one hand, and asked him uncomfortably while walking towards the open door: "Is the news you said accurate?" If you misreport the military situation, this king will not be able to save you. ”
Wang Shichong was probably in a hurry to return to Chang'an to report to the imperial court, and rushed back from Huazhou all the way, with little strength left in his legs and feet, and while trying to follow Yang Guang to the open door, he replied breathlessly: "It was seen by the lower officials, if it is not true, the lower officials are willing to lose their lives." ”
The prison guards guarding the open door saw Yang Guang go and returned, and dragged an unknown person in their hands, and they stepped forward to stop them, but Yang Guang scolded him sharply: "This king has an urgent military situation to show to his father, and anyone who stands in my way will die." ”
Although he was only thirteen years old, he was ruthless, grinning and describing it very terrifyingly, and the sergeants were all bluffed into getting out of the way when they saw it.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, this is the Forbidden Palace. No matter how urgent the military situation is, His Royal Highness must follow the rules of the palace, and when the last general goes to His Majesty first, he will let His Highness enter the palace to face the king. An iron tower-like figure blocked in front of Yang Guang and said awe-inspiringly.
"Xue Shixiong, don't you understand the truth that everything can be in power? If you report the military situation late, can you afford it? Because he entered the palace today and was trained by Yang Jian, and because the military situation reported by Wang Shichong was really urgent, Yang Guang impatiently shouted at Xue Shixiong, the left prison general who blocked his way.
"Come on, please go to the open door and wait for a while, and then I will go to the emperor to report for the prince." Xue Shixiong saw that Yang Guang insisted on breaking into the palace directly, so he was no longer polite to him, and ordered loudly to his sergeants.
The sergeants, with the general in charge, rushed up and dragged Yang Guang and Wang Shichong back to the open door.
Yang Guang was so angry that he jumped to his feet at Xue Shixiong and scolded: "Xue Shixiong, be careful not to ask you to return to this king one day in the future, hum, I want you to look good then!" ”
No matter how he scolded, Xue Shixiong didn't even look back, and went straight into the palace to pay homage to Yang Jian.
After about half a pillar of incense, Xue Shixiong returned, hugged his fist to Yang Guang and said, "Lord, the emperor sent you to the Wude Hall to see you." ”
Yang Guangmu turned his face and ignored Xue Shixiong, and pulled Wang Shichong to the palace, but was stopped by Xue Shixiong.
"This person must leave his name and ministry in the duty room before he can enter the palace with the prince." Xue Shixiong didn't leave any affection at all, and said in an orderly manner.
Yang Guang glared at him fiercely, didn't say a word, and waited patiently for Wang Shichong to follow the sergeant to the duty room next to the open door to register his name and official position, and then took him straight to the Wude Palace.
In the Wude Palace, Yang Jian listened attentively to Wang Shichong's report, repeated Wang Shichong's original words in an unbelievable tone, and asked him: "You mean, you were ordered by your boss to go to Huazhou to inspect the temple, and stayed overnight in the Huazhou Military Square, and overheard the whispers of two generals in the military workshop, saying that they would lead the army into Chang'an on August 18 to compete for merit and be rewarded, so they suspected that the Huazhou Mansion Army had rebelled, and was anxious to enter the palace to see me Yuming all this, right?" ”
Wang Shichong answered the emperor's question face-to-face for the first time since he was born, and nodded desperately, but he couldn't say a word excitedly.
"Little officer, do you know that lying about the military situation is regarded as complicity?" Like Yang Guang, Yang Jian also felt unbelievable when he heard Wang Shichong's report that the Huazhou government army was going to rebel, and suddenly shouted at him, and asked sharply, "Just based on the drunken words of the two military men you overheard, you dare to say that the Huazhou government army will rebel?" Your heart of luck is inevitably too heavy. ”
This question was like a slap in the face, Wang Shichong, who knelt in front of Yang Jian, was much clearer, and he realized that he must not allow himself to be sloppy and retreat at this time, otherwise he would face the severe punishment of exterminating the three clans. Among the two generals who competed for merit, one of them was a fellow villager of Weichen, and the official residence was the same as the three divisions, and his name was Long Live Shi. If you don't believe what the minister said, you might as well order someone to go to Huazhou to summon Shi Wansui to Beijing to see the driver, if Shi Wansui dares to come alone, Weichen is willing to give the minister's whole family to die. ”
His words can be described as righteous and awe-inspiring, Yang Guang listened to it, and couldn't help but secretly sweat for Wang Shichong.
"For the time being, send your head, and if there is no movement in the Huazhou government army in three days, it will not be too late to cut it down. Someone comes, take Wang Shichong to the heavenly prison, the will of the immortal, no one is allowed to enter the heavenly prison to probe. Yang Jian already had some faith in Wang Shichong's words in his heart, but this matter was too important, and it was difficult to make a judgment based on Wang Shichong's words alone, so he ordered someone to take Wang Shichong into custody first, so that he could take corresponding countermeasures according to the situation after further verification.
Yang Jian knew in his heart that Shangshu's left servant Gao Ying had rushed to Jiangling a few days ago to supervise the army to attack Nanchen, and Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, was appointed as the marching marshal by himself, and went to Youyou in person to resist the Turkic invaders, and the few generals in Guanzhong and Gyeonggi had 10,000 government troops under his command and the general Er Zhuji stationed in Huazhou.
After Yang Jian entered the dynasty, Er Zhuji was the first of the Manchu generals to express his allegiance to Yang Jian, and made great contributions in the subsequent war to quell the rebellion of the three commanders. Will such a person rebel?
Yang Jian stared at Yang Guang gloomily, and quickly went through Er Zhuji's origin and experience in his mind, and suddenly, he recalled that Er Zhuji originally belonged to the Northern Wei Dynasty general Er Zhurong's family, and after Er Zhurong raised troops to rebel against Wei and was killed, Er Zhuji's ancestors and fathers were also implicated by Er Zhurong, and were not reused in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Western Wei Dynasty and Northern Zhou Dynasty dynasties.
Remembering that Er Zhuji had received strong support from Zhu Manyue when he first started, a layer of fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Yang Jian's forehead. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat, and continued to think along this line of thought: If Zhu Manyue learned the truth about Yuwen Yan's death, and secretly sent a message to Er Zhuji in Huazhou, asking him to repay his kindness for helping back then and rebelling, Er Zhuji was afraid that it would be difficult to refuse.
The more Yang Jian thought about it, the more frightened he felt: at present, the heavy troops of the imperial court are all outside, and the troops in Gyeonggi are very empty, and more importantly, Erzhu Ji is wise and brave, and the generals who can match him, such as He Ruobi, Han Baohu, Yu Qingze and others, are now in command of the army, and they cannot rush back to Chang'an in time to resist Erzhuji's rebels. Er Zhuji only needs to give an order, and in less than two or three days, Chang'an City will fall into the predicament of soldiers coming to the city, and even if Gao Ying, Yang Shuang and others get the news, I am afraid it will be too late.
