It was only Yang Jian's expectation that the ministers of the DPRK and China led by Gao Ying jointly wrote a letter to dissuade themselves from abolishing the establishment. Originally, there was no direct evidence that the death of the crown princess Yuan was poisoned by others, as far as the matter itself is concerned, Yang Yong and the Yun family are not at fault, and the reason why they are in a hurry to return the second son to the court is mostly due to the queen's suggestion, if the ministers of the court and the central government unanimously oppose the abolition of the crown prince, he can make a common sense explanation in the name of the queen's miss son and daughter-in-law, and dispel the idea of changing Yang Guang as the crown prince, and this turmoil will soon subside.

But what Yang Jian didn't expect was that not long after Gao Ying stood up against his abolition, there was a gust of wind blowing between the government and the opposition, pointing the finger at Gao Ying himself, and it was rumored that Gao Ying had repeatedly violated Yang Guang's orders when he assisted Yang Guang to attack Chen, and killed Chen Shubao's favorite concubine Zhang Lihua without authorization, in a vain attempt to invite people to buy people's hearts in Jiangnan and achieve his ulterior motives. He wanted to take the opportunity to seize military power from Yang Guang, with bad intentions.

On the surface, this yin wind seems to be in line with the emperor, especially the empress's desire to depose the crown prince Yang Yong and re-establish Yang Guang as the crown prince, which directly hit Yang Yong's most powerful supporter in the court - Gao Ying, and seems to be waving the flag and shouting for the Jin King Yang Guang to be established as the new prince after the edict was returned to the court, but it caused Yang Jian to be highly vigilant: the blame is that all the accusations against Gao Ying are private rumors in the market, and no minister openly pointed out to him in the court that Gao Ying had all kinds of misconduct, and suggested that he would remove him from office.

You must know that Gao Ying is not only the most powerful supporter of the crown prince Yang Yong in the court, but also he, Yang Jian himself relies on the most in the court, since more than ten years ago Gao Ying was ordered to go to the former enemy to supervise the army, to help himself quell the tripartite rebellion led by Wei Chi Yuan, until last year he assisted his second son Yang Guangtong army to destroy Nan Chen, these many years he and Gao Ying have been heart-to-heart, formed an unbreakable alliance of monarchs and ministers.

However, some people want to take advantage of the opportunity of themselves and the empress to depose the crown prince and deliberately provoke the relationship between him and Gao Ying, which cannot but make Yang Jian highly vigilant about the real motives of these people acting like this.

At that time, when Yang Guang and Xiao Er had returned to Chang'an, Gao Ying really proposed to Yang Jian to go north to patrol the border because the situation in the north tended to be turbulent, and after careful consideration, Yang Jian decided to first publicly express his belief in Gao Ying in front of the courtiers, and to give a head-on blow to those who hid in a dark corner and spread rumors, so he took the opportunity of holding a great court meeting in Daxing Hall on New Year's Day of the eleventh year of the emperor's reign, and announced in front of the Chinese Wu Qunchen that he had ordered Shangshu Zuo Servant to shoot Gao Ying to command 100,000 troops with the rank of marching marshal, Patrolling the border in the north, once it was found that the northern vassal states had signs of invading the south, there was no need to ask for an order, but a decisive decision on the spot, and walked down the Danxi, took Gao Ying's hand and said to the ministers: "Dugu Gong is like a bronze mirror, every time it is polished, it becomes more and more pure and shining. openly showed his high trust in Gao Ying.

Because Yang Jian was aware in time that someone in Chang'an City wanted to make trouble by spreading rumors to slander Gao Ying, with bad intentions, and took effective measures to firmly maintain the alliance between him and Gao Ying, so that a sudden turmoil was quickly quelled, and when Yang Guang and Xiao Er returned to Chang'an, Gao Ying had already left Beijing to patrol the border, and few people in Chang'an were privately discussing the emperor's abolition.

Despite this, Yang Guang still followed Xiao E's reminder, and on the first day of returning to Chang'an, he took the opportunity to enter the palace to show his father Yang Jian that he had no intention of being a prince, and at the same time asked Yang Jian to allow him to return south as soon as possible.

"Since everyone has arrived in Chang'an, then simply accompany your mother more, and there is no need to rush back to Guangling." Yang Jian was very satisfied with Yang Guang's intention to come to him as soon as he returned to Chang'an to show that he would not be the prince, and persuaded his son with a smile on his face, "In addition, when Yang Chudao quelled the rebellion from Jiangnan and triumphantly was the teacher, he presented me with a copy of your recital, which contains a lot of matters that need to be handled by me for you, and now that you have returned to Chang'an, such as releasing Xian Hua'er from the prison and asking Chen Shubao to cooperate with you to persuade the barbarians to surrender the Lingbiao tribes, you should do it yourself." ”

"The sons obey the holy commandments. There is another matter, I want to ask my father for permission. ”

"Or is it about Fusui Jiangnan? Go ahead. Yang Jian happily instructed Yang Guangdao.

"Erchen has already talked about the various measures of Fusui Jiangnan in the recital brought back by the Duke of Yue. Erchen has successfully recruited nearly 100 Jiangnan scholars and Confucian scholars to compile and write books under Erchen, and after the completion of the book compiled in a year or two, Erchen intends to release these scholars back to all parts of Jiangnan to serve as magistrates, help the imperial court govern Jiangnan, and ask his father for permission. Moreover, before and after the fall of Nanchen, many generals in his army surrendered to our Great Sui, and they also asked their father and emperor for permission, and selected a number of loyal and reliable people from among them, and then sent them to Jiangnan to unify the army, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people in Jiangnan. Yang Guang was encouraged by Yang Jian, so he directly stated his request.

"Appointing locals as officials, I once made an attempt in the former Qi hometown of Hebei, but as a result, these officials were closely linked with the Hebei family Haoyou, and obstructed the decrees that the imperial court wanted to promulgate in every way. Why do you still suggest that I appoint Jiangnan scholars as officials to govern Jiangnan? Yang Jian immediately asked Yang Guang.

"The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is different from that of Hebei, the division of the north and the south for three hundred years, during which the four generations of the Southern Dynasties regarded themselves as orthodox in China, and they despised the Northern Dynasties in the past dynasties, and now the rebellions in various parts of the Jiangnan have been initially quelled, and there are still Lingbiao states that have not been naturalized by the imperial court, and it is the time when the people's hearts are unstable. As for whether there will be collusion between the magistrates and the Jiangnan family, Erchen believes that as long as the imperial court can take effective measures to restrain and prevent it, it will be able to effectively prevent such incidents. ”

"Since I have chosen you to go to Fusui Jiangnan, how can I not fully support you?" Yang Jian saw Yang Guang standing in front of him solemnly, explaining the various measures that Fusui Jiangnan wanted to take, and couldn't help but laugh and explain him, "Together with the Southern Chen General Zuo who surrendered to my Great Sui, as long as it is the person you choose, I will send him to Jiangnan to unify the army, and it will be controlled by you, are you satisfied this time?" ”
