After Wei Zheng left, Li Xuanba's thoughts became disordered.

In order to avoid war, Li Xuanba has been trying to keep the Great Sui and Yang Guang, and he has not yet thought about what he should do if Yang Guang still dies in Jiangdu.

In the future, Li Yuan won the throne, and in Jiangdu, Yu Wenhua and forced Yang Guang to kill.

Li Yuannai is Li Xuanba's father, no matter what, Li Xuanba can't run to Yang Guang and say: Your Majesty, after you go to Jiangdu, my father will rebel, you better kill him quickly.

Similarly, Yu Wenhua is Yuwen Chengdu's father, and Yuwen Chengdu is friendly with Li Xuanba, not to mention that Yu Wenhua is now just a criminal slave, if Yang Guang is told that Yu Wenhua will rebel, how can Yang Guang believe it?

The night is restless, and the natural sleep is not solid.

After retreating from the early dynasty, Yang Guang returned to the Great Cause Palace, followed by Li Quanzhi's father-in-law and two ministers. Yang Guang already knew that Li Xuanba had entered the palace to meet him, so he was not surprised, and after Li Xuanba saluted, he motioned for him to sit down at will.

Li Xuanba waited in the Great Cause Hall for a long time, and saw that Yang Guang seemed to have state affairs to deal with, so he hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't know that Your Majesty still has important matters, so he will retire first." ”

"It doesn't matter." Yang Guang sat on the dragon chair and said casually: "Since I intend to let you enter the court as an official, it is not a bad thing for you to listen to it. Do you know the two lords in the temple? ”

"I've only met twice, and I haven't had a relationship." Li Xuanba bowed and replied.

The two people who followed Yang Guang into the Daye Palace, one was the squire Pei Ju, and the other was Rong Guogong to protect his children.

After Yang Guang's introduction, Li Xuanba saluted one by one, Pei Ju and Lai Hu'er were both in their sixties, and smiled casually, which was considered a return gift.

"There is a fierce general under Zhang Xutuo, named Qin Shubao, you have been in the camp for so many days, can you know this person?" Yang Guang said with a smile: "Chongshan is my Great Sui Pillar Stone, if you want to learn the art of war, you can ask him for advice." ”

"Brother Shubao has always taken good care of Xuanba, how can Xuanba not know him?" Li Xuanba bowed down and said: "The prestige of the general, Xuanba has heard of it for a long time, and Brother Shubao also respects the general. ”

Several people praised each other, and Lai Hu'er said loudly: "Lord Zhongyongwei, you have been ahead for many days, what do you think of the strength of the Wagang thief?" ”

Li Xuanba saw from the eyes of Lai Hu'er that his question contained deep meaning, so he replied: "The Wagang thieves are self-defending, afraid of the emperor's prestige, and dare not develop to the south, but their strength is still not to be underestimated, especially after being defeated by General Zhang, the Wagang thieves recruited troops in the north, and now there should be 100,000 people, and they are even stronger." ”

Lai Hu'er nodded, faced Yang Guang and said: "Since the first emperor was ordained, for nearly forty years, the household registration has increased. His Majesty thought that Goryeo rebelled against the king's order and fought for a while, and the people were despicable and ignorant, and it was easy to complain. ”

Yang Guang looked displeased, frowned, and said, "How can I not know the power of the Wagang thieves? Although he has 100,000 people, but there are less than 20,000 capable of fighting, as long as I want to exterminate them, but in just over a month, I can raze Wagangzhai to the ground. Chongshan, what do you have to worry about? ”

"But the traitors in the world are not just the Wagang family?" Lai Hu'er said bitterly: "General Pan died in Taiyuan, Zhen Zhai'er did nothing and invaded nearby counties, why didn't Your Majesty send troops to exterminate such traitors first?" ”

"What the hell are you trying to say!" Yang Guang's face changed again, and he said in a deep voice.

"Weichen begged Your Majesty to stay in Luoyang and rest for a while. In the meantime, let the generals lead their armies into the discussion, sweep away all the thieves, and use the strategy of His Majesty's holy wisdom to exterminate them in the near future. Laihu'er knelt down and cried and said: "The Jiangdu that Your Majesty wants to go to is the hometown of the minister, and the minister is deeply gracious, and he does not dare to fall into a dangerous place for His Majesty because of returning to his hometown." ”

He has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, with countless scars, but he has never cried, but now in order to persuade Yang Guang to stay in Luoyang, he is kneeling in the hall with tears in his eyes, which is really moving.

Yang Guang gritted his teeth, took the case, and said: "Chongshan, in vain I think you are the pillar of the court, but I don't want you to get older and less courageous." My inspection of Jiangdu is a state affair, you must not persuade again, otherwise, don't blame me for being polite! ”

Lai Hu'er raised his head and was just about to speak, but Pei Ju preemptively said: "General Lai is just worried about His Majesty's safety, Your Majesty must not be angry, so as not to hurt the dragon body." After saying that, he kicked and kicked to protect the child.

Coming to Hu'er's understanding, he apologized and said: "Weichen's disrespectful words have angered Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will be guilty." ”

"I don't blame you for your sincerity, you step back first, and go back to the house to reflect and reflect!" Yang Guang waved his hand and motioned for Laihu'er to retreat.

Pei Ju knew that he couldn't persuade him today, so he also said goodbye and helped Laihu'er to leave the Daye Palace.

"Xuanba, do you think I should stay in Luoyang?" Yang Guang said with some annoyance: "The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all opposed to me leaving Luoyang, and even Pei Yun is trying to dissuade me, I want to know, what do you think?" ”

The loyal ministers wanted Yang Guang to stay in Luoyang, naturally they were worried that he would be in danger, and a traitorous minister like Pei Yun did not want Yang Guang to tour Jiangdu, which made Li Xuanba feel a little surprised.

Li Xuanba thought about it for a while, and then understood.

If someone really subverted the Great Sui, in order to show enlightenment, he would naturally not kill the former dynasty Zhongliang, but a courtier like Pei Yun would be killed to tell the world.

Seeing that Li Xuanba was thinking, Yang Guang laughed coldly and said, "Could it be that even you think that I can't get out of Luoyang?" ”

"The whole world belongs to Your Majesty, what place can't you go?" Li Xuanba bowed down and said, "But Your Majesty has forgotten your regrets?" ”

Yang Guang's biggest regret was that he failed to completely subdue Goguryeo.

"What does it have to do with my cruise around the river at this time?" Yang Guang said expressionlessly: "Do you think I should start a war against Goguryeo first?" ”

"Wechen once heard a saying, if you go outside, you must first settle inside." Li Xuanba still looked indifferent, and said calmly: "Maybe the Wagang thieves are just a small generation in the eyes of His Majesty, but for the people in the areas infested by the thieves, these traitors are like demons, why doesn't Your Majesty eradicate these traitors first for the sake of the people of the world?" ”

is also to persuade Yang Guang to stay in Luoyang, Li Xuanba's words are much better, Yang Guang nodded thoughtfully, and said: "What you said also makes sense, but even in Jiangdu, I can command the world."

Before Yang Guangyan could speak, a father-in-law hurriedly ran in, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from outside the palace that the Duke of Jibei died of illness not long ago, and now Lord Pei Jupei and the butler of the Duke of Jibei are waiting outside the palace. ”

"What did you say?" Yang Guangda shouted, stood up suddenly, only felt a little dizzy, Li Quanzhi hurriedly stepped forward to support him, Yang Guang slowed down, sat down slowly, and said, "Xuan They are here." ”

Pei Ju and Fan Zigai were friends, and it was really difficult to suppress their sadness, and they couldn't stop sobbing in the Great Cause Palace.

He had already left the palace, but he met the carriage of Fan's mansion, and when he heard that Fan Zigai had died, he hurried into the palace with the housekeeper of Jibei Mansion, all the way unhindered.

Jibei Gong's housekeeper cried and told the process of Jibei Gong's death, and Yang Guang's eyes gradually turned red.

"Before Jibei Gong died, what explanation did he have?" Yang Guang sighed and asked.

"The master didn't say anything, but he didn't want to close his eyes for a long time, as if he had something on his mind." The butler wiped away his tears and replied on his knees.

"Back to Your Majesty, when Zigai was seriously ill, the minister went to see him." Pei Ju took a step forward and replied: "Zigai has no regrets in his life, but he is deeply ashamed of His Majesty being trapped in Yanmen. ”

When Yang Guang heard this, he sighed several times in a row, and instructed Li Quanzhi: "Let the hundred officials go to the Jibei Mansion to mourn, give the Jibei Mansion 300 horses, 500 rice, and posthumously present the Jibei Duke as the opening of the Mansion and the three divisions, and the nickname is Jing." ”
