As soon as Yang Jian walked out of Zhengyang Palace, he immediately ordered the eunuch Li Yu'er to summon the crown prince Yang Yong to meet him in Linde Palace.

After a while, Yang Yong followed Li Yu'er into the Linde Palace, and the ceremony was finished, and without waiting for Yang Jian to speak, he presented Yang Guang's recital, and explained to Yang Jian: "Father, Azong's recital was submitted to Erchen by Pei Yun of the Metropolitan Records Office of his palace five days ago, just because according to Pei Yun's words, Azong only reported to the imperial court the reason for quelling the chaos in the Jiangnan Buddhist Temple some time ago, and Erchen still had a few urgent military reports from the northwest and northern Xinjiang in his hands, so it was not submitted to his father until now. ”

Yang Jian was secretly surprised that Yang Yong was unpredictable, and he actually guessed the reason why he summoned him to the palace, but he quietly took Yang Guang's recital, opened the fire paint seal, and read it carefully.

As Pei Yun reported in the Zhengyang Palace, Yang Guang's chapter also included a handwritten letter written by Gao Yuan to Gao Qinglian, Yang Jian read the chapter and the letter together, and asked Yang Yong: "Ah Zong suggested in the chapter that the imperial court should send troops to Liaodong to conquer Goguryeo, and invited himself to be the commander, see the land, what do you think?" ”

Although Yang Yong had expected that Pei Yun might not be telling the truth to himself, he also did not expect that Yang Guanghui, who was in the south of the Yangtze River, would write to the imperial court and ask the army to conquer Goguryeo in Liaodong. Moreover, the rebellion of the Buddhist temple in Jiangnan was initially decided, and the imperial court edict approved the implementation of the Juntian system in Jiangnan still needed Ah Zong to personally sit in charge and supervise the implementation, even if he wanted to send troops to conquer Liaodong, the sons thought that it was not appropriate to appoint Ah Zong as the commander. ”

Yang Jian raised the letter in his hand at him, but refused to hand it over to Yang Yong, and replied: "Ah Zong has seized a letter written by Gao Yuan to Gao Qinglian, in which Gao Yuan wants to collude with the remnants of Nanchen to raise a rebellion in a vain attempt to recapture a large area of territory outside Linyu Pass. Gao Yuanchu succeeded to the throne with such a wolf's heart, if he did not show a little punishment, he would become a big trouble in the future. Seeing the land, since you said that Ah Zong should not withdraw from Jiangnan to the north to become the commander, then, is there still a suitable person to recommend to me? ”

"This ...... Father, although Gao Yuan has the heart of a wolf, but his remarks have not been revealed, can he postpone the sending of troops to collect, so that he can come to the court to explain the original situation, if he refuses to come to Chang'an to pay tribute, and then discuss the matter of sending troops to levy, how about it? ”

Yang Jian's face softened, and he put the chapter and the letter on the case in front of him, and said: "Your suggestion can be considered, but Goguryeo since its predecessor King Gao Tang to my Great Sui courtier, I have repeatedly recruited Gao Tang to come to the court for more than ten years, and I have not met him so far, I don't remember the previous suspicions, and put Yan Shisan, who shot Jiao Er, back to Goguryeo, Gao Yuan is grateful, and he should come to Chang'an with Feng Lun to pay tribute, but he secretly colluded with the remnants of Nan Chen, wanting to misbehave. At the same time as sending envoys to recruit Gao Yuan to come to the court, it is also necessary to increase the deployment of heavy troops to defend Youzhou, and be ready to conquer Liaodong at any time. Seeing the land attack, I remember that a few years ago, when the army was raised to attack Chen, you had the intention of leading the army to go out, this time to conquer Liaodong, as the prince of a country, are you willing to lead the army to go out and open up territory for me? ”

Yang Yong was taken aback, and then said: "Father Emperor Shengming, it is indeed a good policy to salute first and then soldier. Although the sons and daughters have been absent from the battle for a long time, such as the father and the emperor, only the horse leather shroud serves the court and the father. It's just that Erchen just heard this morning that the palace was haunted last night, which frightened the queen mother, causing Princess Jin to have a miscarriage. ”

Yang Jian knew that Yang Yongshi was unwilling to leave the center of the imperial court, and he would not break him, so he took advantage of the situation to interrogate him: "Since I have restored your power to govern the court and command the forbidden army, the palace was haunted again last night, what are you going to do?" ”

"Erchen plans to personally lead the forbidden army, stay in the palace, kill the ghosts as soon as possible, and clean the palace ban." Yang Yong blurted out.

"Well, although you should not leave Chang'an for the time being, but the matter of conquering Goguryeo is urgent, Gao Ying is now merging the state, can he go to Youzhou to unify the army on your behalf?" Yang Jian nodded, and then turned the topic back to sending troops to recruit Goguryeo, and asked Yang Yong for advice.

"In the opinion of the sons, it is better to appoint Gao Ying to lead the army to defeat Goguryeo, than to appoint another person as the commander."

"Oh, who are you referring to?" Yang Jian's eyes flickered and asked.

"Shangshu's right servant shot, Yue Guogong Yang Su. Gao Servant is good at managing politics, and the matter of unifying the army is far less than Yang Su, so Erchen advocated that Gao Ying should be recruited to return to the dynasty, and Yang Su was temporarily appointed as a general, and ordered him to lead a heavy army to be stationed in Youzhou to force Gao Yuan to come to the court. ”

"Let's talk about it later." Yang Jian stared at Yang Yong with a faint gaze, and then said slowly, "I heard the queen mention that the Yue Guo Mansion has not been very peaceful recently, and there are often ghosts and ghosts sneaking in to steal, but I am afraid that he has no intention of leading the army to go on the expedition." You can temporarily order Gao Ying to move to Youzhou, send Feng Lun to envoy Goguryeo, recruit Gao Yuan to come to the court, and then discuss the matter of conquest after I recruit Ah Zong back to the court. In addition, the post of General of the Right Guard has been vacant for a long time, and I intend to appoint Yuan Yuan Min of Wuyuan County as the General of the Right Guard to assist you in taking charge of the forbidden army, I don't know what you want? ”

Wuyuan County Yuan Min is the brother of the late crown princess Yuan, Yang Jian suddenly proposed to appoint Yuan Min as the general of the right guard, Yang Yong was inconvenient to raise objections, but because Yang Jian mentioned that he wanted to recruit Yang Guang to return to the dynasty, he replied: "Princess Jin was frightened and had a miscarriage, and she should have recruited Ah Zong to return to the dynasty, but according to Pei Yun's son, it is now the critical moment for Jiangnan to implement the Juntian system, is the father ...... it"

Yang Jian raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the recital written by Yang Guang again, and said thoughtfully: "How can I not know this, however, your mother felt ashamed of Ah Zong because of Xiao E's miscarriage, so she mentioned it to me, and wanted to recruit Ah Zong back to the province to comfort Xiao E, I thought about his mother and son, and I had already agreed to her." ”

"Erchen only thinks about official business, and does not think about flesh and blood affection, which is the fault of Erchen." Yang Yong bowed down and admitted his mistake.

"As early as seven years ago, there was a ghost incident in the palace, Ah Zong led people into the palace to investigate for many days, and finally failed to remove the evil ghosts, see the ground, this time you must eradicate the ghosts as soon as possible, and eliminate the elbow and armpit trouble for me." Yang Jian did not reproach Yang Yong, but told him again.

Yang Yong received the order, that is, he asked Yang Jian to retire, turned around and left the Linde Palace.

Yang Jian looked at the back of Yang Yong leaving, and didn't know why, but he shook his head slightly with a solemn face.
