Chapter 573: Yongzhou Mu
Zhang Heng was ordered by Yang Guang to immediately lead Li Hun and Pei Qiantong to set off from Fenheyi and urgently rushed back to Chang'an to find Zhang Xutuo's whereabouts, not to mention it for the time being.
Shan said that Yang Guang, because he accidentally learned the news of Zhang Xutuo's escape, and while assigning Zhang Heng and others to return to Chang'an immediately, he still held a glimmer of hope, and quickly transferred the scout camp led by Zhao Cai from Bingzhou, and urgently ordered them to carefully visit the state capitals along the way from Chang'an to Bingzhou, trying to find Zhang Xutuo's traces.
After such a arrangement and tossing, it was already in the afternoon of the same day, and news came from the front that Yang Liang, the king of Han, and his entourage had arrived at the boundary less than ten miles away from the Fenhe Station. Because Yang Liang made this trip, which was not only to replace himself, but also to convey the edict to himself, Yang Guang did not dare to slack off, and immediately led a cadre of Taiwanese subordinates to welcome Yang Liang and his party into the Fenhe Station.
I haven't seen him for a year, at first glance, Yang Guang found that his fifth brother has risen a lot, and a layer of mustache has faintly grown on his lips, surrounded by a group of subordinates, he faintly has the demeanor of a king, and he saw two heroic young guards behind him, the left is slightly taller, and the older one is Li Jing, who has been his long-awaited belonging, and the one on the right who is about the same age as Yang Liang is his brother-in-law Xiao Yu, and he couldn't help but ask him at the moment: "Why did you also become the guard of the King of Han?" ”
Before Xiao Yu could speak, Yang Liang had already replied on his behalf with a grin: "He, now he and I are the same brothers, and they have both recognized Li Jing as their master." ”
Li Jing followed closely behind him, and when he heard this, he hurriedly bowed to Yang Guang and said humbly: "King Han is really a small one, but the small one often learns some skills with King Han, Xiao Yu and others on weekdays, how dare you call yourself a master and apprentice?" ”
"Haha, forgiveness, I won't tell you, I had long intended to recruit Li Jing to my side as a guard, but I didn't expect to be preempted by you." Yang Guang looked at Li Jing appreciatively, but said to Yang Liang in his mouth, "We might as well make an agreement today, but it is limited to three years, and Li Jing will be given up as a brother after three years, how about it?" ”
Yang Liang mistakenly took Yang Guang's joke seriously, and immediately became red and argued: "Su Wen's second brother is a fierce general, why do you want to fight with me for Li Jing?" ”
Yang Guang saw that Yang Liang was really anxious, so he turned around and pointed at Shi Wansui, deliberately teasing him: "There is the 'First Fierce General of the Great Sui' who is personally sealed by the Emperor Father, what are the generals under my command?" ”
"Second brother, I won't tell you, let's prepare to listen to my father's edict." After all, Yang Liang was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he couldn't talk about Yang Guang, but when he saw that he had arrived at Fenhe Station, he immediately changed his mind and asked Yang Guang to prepare to receive the order.
When the group walked into the main hall of the post station, Yang Liang really signaled to the accompanying new Hebei Dao Xingtai Shangshu Zuo servant Yang Shangxi first read out the edict of the emperor to appoint himself as the successor of Hebei Dao Xingtai Shangshu in front of everyone, and took an edict from the hands of the attendants, stood with his back to the south and north, and said to Yang Guang: "There is a decree, and Yang Guang, the king of Jin, will receive the decree." ”
Yang Guangqing knew that when the two kings met today, they had to clarify their new ministries first, and only after their identities could they hand over official duties between each other, so they did not dare to have the slightest neglect and carelessness, so they hurriedly restrained their smiles, and led Wang Shao, Li Che and other current Hebei Provincial officials to kneel down in front of Yang Liang, shouting long live and listening to the edict.
"Yang Guangjiu, the king of the Jin Dynasty, in the north of the town, Fusui place, recruited the distant domain, Xun Laosu, can be reappointed as the Yongzhou pastor, and the internal history of the order, the deadline is one month, return to Chang'an to work, and admire this." Yang Liang said aloud like a little adult.
"Son-in-law, thank you." Yang Guang took the edict from Yang Liang's hand, stood up, and finally fell to the ground with a stone in his heart: Yongzhou Muyuan was the official position held by the sixth uncle, Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, before his death, and was in charge of the military and political power of Gyeonggi.
After Yang Liang conveyed the emperor's edict to Yang Guang, he said to Yang Guang's current Hebei Provincial Bureaucrats: "When this king left Beijing and resigned, my father had an edict that in addition to Li Che, Li Xiong and the current Hebei Provincial Marshal of the marching army, Wang Shao and other current cadres of the current Hebei Provincial Bureau of Taiwan officials returned to Beijing with the King of Jin, and the imperial court had other appointments. ”
At this point, Yang Guang and his subordinates have a clear place to go. After Yang Guang and Yang Liang brothers re-seated in the hall according to their elders and youngsters, they immediately ordered the other subordinates to retreat, leaving only Wang Shao and Li Che under Yang Guang's command, and Yang Lang left Yang Shangxi, Cui Zhongfang, and Shi Wansui here.
Yang Guang had just received the edict issued by his father and gave him a one-month deadline, so he guessed that his father wanted him to finish all the official duties to Yang Liang one by one and then return to Chang'an to take up his post, so although he was anxious, he had to cheer up his spirit to hand over his official duties to Yang Liang.
"Other things have their own Yang servant shooting and Wang servant shooting they will take people to settle, only one thing, the younger brother wants to listen to the second brother's opinion before he can act." Yang Liang came all the way, and he had already made up his mind in his heart, and he would not wait to return to the state, so he would first ask Yang Guang's opinion.
Yang Guang didn't speak, only nodded, and motioned for Yang Liang to continue.
"The younger brother knows that the first military and political priority of Hebei Province is to deal with and prevent the Turks. Therefore, he wanted to obtain the consent of the second brother, and after the younger brother arrived in Bingzhou to take office, he immediately summoned Shabalu Khan to lead the ministers of the Turkic court to come to Bingzhou to meet him. ”
Yang Guang listened to Yang Liang's words, he was quite disapproving, smiled faintly, and persuaded him: "Although the Eastern Turks have declared themselves vassals to the imperial court and are willing to be my vassals of the Great Sui, but after all, he is still the king of a country, if he hears the news that Ah Liang has come to Bingzhou to replace me, and takes the initiative to come to Bingzhou to meet with you, it will be fine." If you call him to meet him at the beginning of your tenure, I am afraid it will be very inappropriate. In my opinion, it is better for me to accompany you to Zihe Town and take the initiative to meet the photograph, leave him some dignity, and make it convenient for you to deal with him in the future. ”
Yang Shangxi, who was sitting under Yang Liang, nodded again and again and agreed: "What King Jin said is extremely true. If the king of Han was willing to go to Zihe Town to meet with Sha Bolu Khan, he took into account the dignity of the vassal state, and secondly, he could also take this opportunity to familiarize himself with the situation in the Turkic country, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”
Yang Shangxi was originally a relative of the Yang family, and he was famous at home, and he was an important minister in the court, what he said was very weighty, and Yang Liang had to agree even if he was still a little reluctant for a while.
After resting at Fenhe Station for one night, Yang Guang accompanied Yang Liang and his entourage back to Bingzhou, and then sent someone out of the customs to agree with the Turks on a specific date for the two of them to go to Zihe Town to meet Sha Bolu Khan, and prepared a number of gifts.
