The civil and military officials of the Southern Sui Dynasty included both elderly former ministers and many young talents. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info They showed diametrically opposite attitudes on the issue of Yang Gao. The old man remembered the old days, and naturally hoped to take Yang Gao to Jiangdu to preserve a trace of blood for the first emperor, while others thought that Yang Gao forced Yang Tong to leave Luoyang when the Great Sui was in danger, which was not done by Ming Jun and saved him from unwisdom.

Yang Tong is a benevolent and virtuous monarch, and he must listen to the advice of the courtiers, which Li Xuanba has advised him many times, but now the court is arguing, making it difficult for him to issue an edict, and even more, he directly mentioned his resignation.

Li Xuanba stood silently at the front of the courtiers, he lowered his head without saying a word, as if he was asleep.

In fact, Li Xuanba's silence is the main reason for the controversy in the court, as the person most admired by young talents, Li Xuanba's attitude is their attitude. Since Yang Tong proposed to connect Yang Gao to Jiangdu, Li Xuanba did not have a background and fell in their eyes, which naturally means that Li Xuanba does not want to see Yang Gao in Jiangdu.

The officials were tired of arguing, and found that Yang Tong and Li Xuanba still didn't mean to express their position, and suddenly felt a little bored, and their voices gradually became much softer.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency." Seeing that everyone was no longer noisy, Li Xuanba coughed lightly, and the court suddenly quieted down: "What King Zhao did at the beginning did indeed live up to the first emperor and His Majesty, which is chilling, but after all, he is the backbone of the first emperor and the imperial uncle of His Majesty." Now Wang Shichong imprisoned him, but he hurt the face of the Great Sui Court! Moreover, if Your Majesty ignores this matter, how will the people of the world view Your Majesty? ”

If Li Xuanba knew what Yang Gao and Wang Shichong were secretly doing, he would definitely not say this. However, no matter how well-informed the Yin Wei is, it is impossible to know everything, not to mention that no one can think that there is such a hidden situation behind the defeat of Wang Shichong in the battle of Bishan.

"What King Zhou said is extremely true." Yang Tong nodded in agreement, and said loudly: "After all, King Zhao is a child of the royal family, how can Wang Shichong be so humiliated?" Your family's opposition to welcoming the king of Yue is because of his lack of affection, but have you ever thought that if I am left to fend for himself, then what is the difference between what I have done? ”

"Shame on you!" The opposing ministers bowed and bowed.

Li Xuanba's attitude was already clear, although they had slander in their hearts, they did not intend to continue to oppose it, and Yang Tong's words made them even more afraid to say more.

......

The scorching sun in Jiangdu, the sound of cicadas makes people more and more irritable, at this time it is not yet the harvest season, the people gather together in twos and threes, hiding under the big trees to enjoy the shade.

A group of nearly 1,000 people, under the scorching sun, silently headed towards the city gate, and the sharp-eyed people found Li Xuanba in the team, exclaimed, and guessed what had happened.

"Mr. Yu, Mr. Lu." Out of the city, Li Xuanba walked to a carriage and arched his hand: "This time I went to Luoyang, the road is long, and the two gentlemen have worked hard." ”

"King Zhou is polite." An old voice sounded in the carriage: "I waited for the favor of the first emperor, I thought that there would be no chance to repay the first emperor, thank you King Zhou for handing over this errand to the two of us." ”

Li Xuanba made a disciple salute, turned to Captain Xiao and said, "No matter what happens, you must ensure the safety of the two gentlemen." ”

Captain Xiao bowed his hand and shouted: "Let's go." ”

Li Xuanba stood in place, looking at the departing mission, and sighed, unsure whether his decision today was right or wrong.

The scale of the mission was too large, and the speed was naturally not fast, but fortunately, Jiangdu and Dongping were all the land of the Southern Sui, and the mission did not encounter danger along the way.

But out of Dongping County, if the mission wants to enter Luoyang, it must pass through the barrier of the Tang Dynasty. The relationship between the Southern Sui and the Tang Dynasty is very delicate, at this time Luoyang was heavily surrounded by the Tang army, and even if Yang Gao did not die, he would become a prisoner of the Tang Dynasty, so whether Yang Gao could be rescued not only depends on Wang Shichong's attitude, but also the attitude of the Tang Dynasty is also very important.

It is based on this consideration that Li Xuanba will invite the two doctors of Guozijian as envoys, because the two of them are highly respected and have a very high prestige in the hearts of the people of the world, even if it is a strong country like the Tang Dynasty, they dare not easily offend them, otherwise they will be spurned by the world.

Sure enough, when the Tang Dynasty heard that there were Yu and Lu in the Southern Sui mission, not only did they not send troops to stop them, but Li Shimin even sent someone to entertain them, and at the same time informed them of a bad news: Yang Gao had left Luoyang City.

After more than a month, the mission was only a stone's throw away from Luoyang, so naturally he would not go back because of Datang's one-sided words, and Lu Qi insisted on going to Luoyang on the grounds of returning to his hometown.

It is reasonable for Nan Sui to send a delegation to greet Yang Gao, Datang has no reason to stop it at all, and there is no need for Datang to tear up his face with Nan Sui because of such a trivial matter. Therefore, Li Shimin sent people to escort the mission all the way to the outside of Luoyang City.

Li Jiancheng already knew about the Southern Sui Mission in advance, and with a smile on his face, he personally greeted Mr. Yu and Mr. Lu, and held a banquet to entertain them. At the banquet, Li Jiancheng tentatively asked Yu Shinan and Lu Qi if they could stay in the Tang Dynasty, but Yu Shinan vaguely refused, and Li Jiancheng didn't care.

Before the banquet had dispersed, the messenger sent by Li Jiancheng to Luoyang City had returned, and at the same time brought back Wang Shichong's answer: The envoy of the Southern Sui Dynasty could enter the city, but the entourage could not exceed 100.

When Xiao Xiaowei heard that he could only bring dozens of people into the city, he naturally refused to agree, after all, when he left Jiangdu, he promised to ensure the safety of Yu Shinan and Lu Qi.

"What is the difference between a thousand and a hundred when you enter the city?" Facing Captain Xiao's dissuasion, Yu Shinan said with a smile: "Does Lord Xiao think that if Wang Shichong wants to leave Shinan and Lu Lao's lives, he can stop him with only a thousand soldiers?" ”

Xiao Xiaowei knew that Yu Shinan's words were very reasonable, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, and said: "Mr. Yu, it is better for you and Mr. Lu to stay outside the city, and the last general will bring a few brothers into the city." ”

"His Royal Highness King Zhao is not in the city, what can you do if you go in?" Lu Qi shook his head and sighed: "I went to the city with Shinan, not only to confirm the news, but also to really want to go back to the house to have a look." After speaking, he walked towards the Luoyang City Gate.

"Lord Xiao, Datang and Wang Shichong will let me and others enter the city easily, indicating that His Royal Highness King Zhao should really go out of the city." Lu Qi didn't care that Captain Xiao was Li Xuanba's cronies, but Yu Shinan, as a subordinate, didn't dare to be careless and explained.

"Then the general will go into the city with him." Captain Xiao reacted, casually ordered more than a dozen guards to follow him, and said: "I am waiting for this trip to represent the imperial court, if you lose face, Hugh blames the gun for being ruthless!" ”

As Yu Shinan said, after entering the city, life and death are up to oneself, and it makes no difference whether to bring a thousand, a hundred, or ten people, so Xiao Xiaowei chose to only bring more than ten people to serve Yu Shinan and them.

After entering the city, Yu Shinan and Lu Qi entered the palace directly, and Xiao Xiaowei and others had a low status and could only wait outside the palace. It didn't take long for Yu Shinan and Lu Qi to leave the palace with a disappointed face, completely ignoring the several Honglu Temple officials who followed behind them, and said directly: "Wang Shichong said that King Zhao was picked up by the Turkic mission a few days ago. ”

The faces of those officials of Honglu Temple were a little ugly, and they barely squeezed out a smile, and arched their hands: "Your Majesty was indeed picked up by Princess Yichang. (To be continued.) )
