Chapter 875: A Journey of a Thousand Miles

After Pei Yun, Zhang Heng and other officials learned that Yang Guang was going to Tiantai Mountain in eastern Zhejiang to meet the monk Zhiqi, they initially thought that this was just an expedient measure that Yang Guang came up with after thinking hard to ensure the rebellion of Buddhist temples in various parts of the Yangtze River, but two or three days after Pei Yun was ordered to send people to various places to spread the news, he received another royal order: he was ordered to accompany Yang Guang to Tiantai Mountain in eastern Zhejiang to meet Master Zhiqi.

After Pei Yun received this king's order, he immediately rushed to the Guangling Governor's Mansion with Zhang Heng and others to see Yang Guang, wanting to dissuade him from canceling this trip to eastern Zhejiang.

"If the prince wants to use the prestige of Master Zhiqi in Buddhism to calm the chaos in Buddhist temples in various places, he can do it on his behalf by the lower officials, and go to Tiantai Mountain to summon Zhiqi to come to Guangling, and he doesn't have to take risks and hike thousands of miles in person." Pei Yun directly persuaded Yang Guang to change his mind very rarely.

Zhang Heng also echoed: "This is going to eastern Zhejiang, not only thousands of miles away, the bandits in the south of the Yangtze River have not been eliminated, Xiao Rushui, Zhang Zhongjian and other 'wild goose nest' remnants still don't know where to lurk, plus the prince is not around the lack of strong guards, the lower officials also think that the prince must not take this risk to go to eastern Zhejiang, it is better to still summon Master Zhiqi to come to the meeting in the name of holding a thousand monks in Guangling." ”

The two were trying their best to persuade Yang Guang to dispel the idea of going to eastern Zhejiang to meet Zhiqi, and suddenly saw Guo Yan come to report, saying that Li Hun, a hussar general outside the gate of the governor's mansion, had come to ask to see Yang Guang to report.

When Yang Guang heard the news, he couldn't help laughing and said to Zhang and Pei: "Look, isn't this the father and queen mother who sent a powerful guard?" Then he immediately summoned Li Hun to meet him in the mansion.

When Li Hun walked into the council hall in a hurry, he presented Yang Guang with the order that he was transferred back to the Jin King Hussar Battalion, explaining the intention, and everyone in the hall knew that as Yang Guang said, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo were concerned about the safety of their beloved son Yang Guang who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and specially ordered Li Hun to return to Yang Guang's side to assist Duan Da in taking charge of the Jin King Hussar Camp and strengthening the escort force.

"There is Jin Cai who rushed to eastern Zhejiang with this king, what else are you worried about?" Yang Guang was quite pleased that Li Hun had come at the right time, and he could help him plug Zhang Heng and Pei Yun's mouths, so he handed the transfer order submitted by Li Hun to the two with a smile and asked rhetorically.

Pei Yun and Zhang Heng glanced at each other, and wanted to persuade again, but when they looked up, they saw that Yang Guang's face had already dropped, so they changed their words and said: "Lord Wang, General Li, please forgive the official for speaking out." Since the prince ordered the lower official to accompany the prince to eastern Zhejiang, the lower official's duty was to have the courage to ask the prince to pass on the order, and the general Liang Mo personally escorted the prince to Tiantai Mountain, so that people could feel at ease. ”

Li Hun was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and has always regarded himself very highly, this time because he could not bear the exclusion and neglect of the crown prince Yang Yong in the East Palace, he took the opportunity of Li Jing to leave Yang Guang's side, and asked people to lobby in front of Dugu Jialuo, so as to get the opportunity to re-transfer back to the hussar camp of the King of Jin. You kid is just a dog next to Chen Shubao, and now you look down on Lao Tzu? There is no need for the white-haired Liang Mo, but the general will lead a battalion of men and horses to protect the prince, so as to ensure that the prince is safe. ”

Seeing this, Yang Guang hurriedly stepped forward to stop Li Hun, and apologized to Pei Yun: "If Jin Cai's words are offensive, don't mind if you want to rush to it." Liang Mo is the head of Jiankang, so it is not appropriate to leave his post lightly, and in addition to Jin Cai, there are still Guo Yan and others around the king, so he is safe, and he doesn't have to worry too much about the safety of this king. ”

Then he turned to Zhang Heng and admonished: "Jianping, after this king leaves from Guangling, you must not delay in the slightest, and you must urge the prefecture and county government offices in various places to start implementing the uniform field system as soon as possible. The implementation of the Juntian system has seen the effect, and the king's trip to eastern Zhejiang has added some certainty. ”

Pei Yun was scolded by Li Hun, although there was a fire in his heart, because he saw that Yang Guang had made up his mind, he had to hold back his anger and discuss with Li Hun about Yang Guang's escort.

Zhang Heng felt the heavy burden on his shoulders from Yang Guangyin's advice, and no longer insisted on dissuading Yang Guang, but made up his mind and secretly ordered the state and county officials along the way to ensure that the King of Jin and his entourage arrived safely at Tiantai Mountain.

After Zhang Heng and Pei Yun said goodbye one after another and left the council hall, Yang Guang left Li Hun alone and asked him about the situation of Princess Xiao E in the Chang'an Palace.

"Lord Wang, if you don't ask, I am also about to persuade you, it is better to take the princess to Guangling as soon as possible, and come to your side." At the mention of the princess Xiao E, Li Hun persuaded Yang Guangdao with a worried face.

"Why is that?" Yang Guang was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

"Don't hide it from the prince, before the last general was transferred out of Beijing, he made a special trip to the palace to meet the princess and ask her if she had a letter to bring to the prince, and the princess only ordered the last general to bring a message to the princess, saying that she was all right in the Chang'an Palace. However, the last general heard that some people wanted to be unfavorable to the princess, and spread rumors in the palace to say something, since the princess entered the palace to live, the evil ghost that had appeared in the palace a few years ago appeared again, and he wanted to do everything possible to confuse the mother and alienate the princess. The last general is worried that if the mother listens to the rumors created by the gangsters and blames the princess for the haunting in the palace, she is afraid that it will be very unfavorable to the princess, so she strongly advises the princess to bring the princess to Guangling as soon as possible. Although Li Hun did not explain that the person who instigated people to spread rumors and slander Xiao Er in the palace was the crown prince Yang Yong, Yang Guang could also clearly feel that this matter was aimed at him, and remembered what Zhang Heng had persuaded him to say not long ago, and couldn't help but provoke Ling Ling to shiver.

"The queen mother has always been a close confidant of Er'er, so she must not listen to these nonsense, right? Besides, Er'er is pregnant now, and it is not appropriate to travel far......" Yang Guang looked at Li Hun with wandering eyes and muttered to himself.

"Lord Wang, it is indeed not very peaceful in Beijing recently, first in order to investigate Liu Jushi's comrades, the East Palace sent people to arrest dozens of sons of official eunuchs, locked them in Dali Temple and asked, and then there was news that the palace was haunted, and the prince had to guard against this."

"Li Jing, since he was escorted back to Chang'an, have you heard of him?" Yang Guang changed his words and asked Li Hun about Li Jing's movements.

"It seems that I heard that Li Jing and Yang Su's eldest son, Yang Xuangan, went to the Turks with the eldest Sun Sheng some time ago...... Other than that, I haven't heard from him again. Li Hun replied truthfully.

Yang Guang's eyes lit up, and he turned his worries into joy and said: "Since the father and queen mother have given Li Jing a chance to prove his innocence, it is enough to show that the two saints will not easily believe the rumors created by the traitors, and Er'er should have no worries in the palace." Jin Cai, you rest here for one night, and tomorrow the fifth watch will set off with me and rush to Tiantai Mountain. ”
