Chapter 141: Both North and South
Although Jingzhao Yin Suwei did not dare to be careless at all after receiving Qu Tutong's holy decree, he immediately mobilized all the messengers to launch a large-scale search in Chang'an City, but three days passed, but nothing was found. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Hua Gu and the red-haired boy seemed to have evaporated from the world, and even the servants of Jingzhao Mansion searched almost every corner of Chang'an City, but they could not find any trace of them.
On the contrary, it was the Jingzhao Mansion Ti Cavalry who tossed it around, and the rumors that had been spread in Chang'an City before about the emperor's Buddhist stand-in Huizhen monk being bitten to death by the Nanchen demon because he peeked into the sky spread more widely.
Seeing that the news of the death of the monk Huizhen could no longer be concealed, the two ministers, Gao Ying and Su Wei, led by the two ministers, and the close ministers spoke one after another, suggesting that Yang Jian immediately announce the death of the monk Huizhen to the government and the opposition in order to set the record straight.
Since at the funeral of Yuwen Xian, the monk Huizhen pointed out to the courtiers that Yuwen Xian died at the hands of the Nanchen demon, and various rumors alleged that the monk Huizhen was also killed by the Nanchen demon, then once the news of the death of the monk Huizhen was announced, it meant that the imperial court must also declare war on Nanchen and raise troops to attack Chen. This is obviously a difficult choice for the Great Sui, who has not yet been at peace in the north.
After careful consideration, Yang Jian finally decided to take a risk, take a multi-pronged approach, both internal and external, and deal with the current predicament with a combination of virtual and real methods.
On the fourth day after Yang Guang led people to inspect the stone house courtyard at night, Yang Jian gathered his ministers in the Linguang Hall and held a great court meeting. The meeting not only required all the civil and military officials above the fifth rank in Beijing to participate, but also invited foreign monarchs and ministers, including Ju Boya, the king of Gaochang, and the envoy of the Turkic Shabalu Khan, Chu Luoyu, to attend the meeting.
At the court meeting, Yang Jian announced the news of Master Huizhen's death in public, and then announced two major measures:
First, Sun Lan (uncle of Changsun Sheng), the governor of Shangzhu, and Yuan Jingshan were appointed as the marshals of the march, and Gao Ying, the left servant of Shangshu, served as the supervisor of the army, unified and controlled and coordinated the armies, raised 80,000 troops, and attacked Chen on a large scale to avenge the revenge of the Jieguo Gongyu Wenyan.
Second, the second prince, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, added the rank of general of Zuo Wuwei, and allowed him to open a government and build a government office, and was in charge of state affairs.
As soon as the two edicts on one south and one north were announced to China and foreign countries, civil and military, they immediately caused ripples among the people in the Linguang Palace.
Yang Su, the prince of Qinghe County, was the first to go out of the class to perform and want to go out of the town and state with Yang Guang, assist the king of Jin, and stabilize the northern border, Yang Jian only smiled and did not answer.
The Turkic envoy Luo Yu also immediately stepped forward and proposed to Yang Jian that the Emperor of the Great Sui give him a clear answer on the position of the relationship between the Great Sui and the Turks, and whether he would still pay tribute to the Turks every year according to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so that he could return to China as soon as possible.
In the face of Luo Yu's aggressive questioning, Yang Jian did not pay attention to it, and only Changsun Sheng came forward and replied to Luo Yu: Yang Guang, the king of Jin, the general of Zuo Wuwei, and the governor of Bingzhou, was about to leave the town and merge the state within a month, and the official reply of the Great Sui Imperial Court to the Turkic Shabalu Khan was brought by Yang Guang to the state and ordered to be forwarded to Shabalu Khan himself; On behalf of the Great Sui Emperor, Yang Guang, the King of Jin, set up a banquet to send off the father and son of Luo Yu to return to the country and restore their lives, and to send greetings to the Great Khan of the Turkic Shabo Slightly Great.
"Father, this is clearly a delaying tactic!" After the court meeting, Chu Luo Yu returned to the pavilion, and gloomily relayed to his son Dan Gan the unclear reply he got from the mouth of the eldest grandson Sheng today, Dye Gan got up and yelled at his father.
For the son of Dyegan, the mild-mannered Chu Luo Yu has always had deep apologies for him in his heart: shortly after Dyegan was born, he was separated in an inter-tribal conflict, and he has not been heard from since, until not long ago, his brother asked him to be his envoy and sent to Chang'an, he told him that Dyegan had already been found by him, taken in by his side, and had been disguised as a small servant two months ago, and returned to Chang'an with the eldest Sun Sheng.
Although Chu Luo Yu was nominally also named a khan by the photo, he was attached to the photograph and did not have his own independent subordinates, so in desperation, in order to find his long-lost son, he had to accept the dispatch of the photograph and serve as his envoy to Chang'an.
"Son, in your opinion, what should our father and son do now?" Since reuniting with his son, after many days of observation, Chu Luoyu found that Dye Gan was not only a bait for his brother to take pictures to lure him to come to Chang'an, but he also had a secret mission to confess to him. Therefore, these days, Chu Luo Yu is willing to cover for his son, accompanied by Changsun Sheng every day, and travels around Chang'an, thus creating an opportunity for Dyeing and Dry to be a secret messenger. However, Chu Luo Yu never dreamed that he had waited for many days in Chang'an, and what he was looking forward to was neither a reply from the Sui Dynasty agreeing to follow the established practice and continuing to pay tribute to the Turkic Son, nor a refusal, but a tepid pile of nonsense, which inevitably put him in a dilemma, and he couldn't care much about it in his eagerness, so he pierced the layer of window paper that covered him and his son, and asked his son for an idea in a uncertain way.
"Father, as far as I know, the Sui Dynasty said a few months ago that it had sent envoys to the Datou Khan, presumably because they did not get the answer they wanted from the Datou Khan, and now they want to raise troops to fight against Nan Chen, in order to block the mouths of the government and the opposition, so they have resorted to a delaying tactic against our Turks. At present, the only way for us to leave Chang'an quickly, return to the Turks, and report to the Great Khan the various movements of the Sui Dynasty that we have learned about here. Tomorrow, I will go to the Jin Palace, bid farewell to Yang Guang, and the day after tomorrow we will set off, how about it? At this time, Dye Gan also felt that there was no need to hide it in front of his father, so he simply made up his mind for Luo Yan without hesitation.
"I heard that a few days ago, you had to go to the Jin King's Mansion every day for a while, according to your speculation, will His Royal Highness the King of Jin let us go easily?" Chu Luo Yu ate Yang Jian's deflated body on the Linguang Palace today, lest the Sui Dynasty detain his father and son in Chang'an, and asked his son worriedly.
"Hmph." He snorted heavily in his nose, and replied with a little disdain, "I watched the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and there was no one available, so he actually sent such a yellow-mouthed boy out of the town and the state to guard against my Turks." According to my observation in the past few days, although Yang Guangren is a little clever, he is very easy to coax, and my father can rest assured that if I go to his house tomorrow to resign, I will definitely coax him to let us go. ā
He recalled that a few days ago, he had successfully escaped Yang Guang's surveillance and sneaked to Wanshanni Temple to meet An Ruoxi, and a hint of self-contained smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth. (To be continued.) )
