The war report arrived in Luoyang, and Yang Guang ordered the nearby Yanmen to send troops to quell the rebellion. Chen Xiaozhang and Hu Ben of Yanmen County of Sui Dynasty combined forces with Wang Zhibi to recruit Liu Wuzhou, besieged him in Sangqian Town, Liu Wuzhou sent envoys to meet the Turkic Shibi Khan, promising heavy profits, Shibi Khan personally led the elite cavalry and Liu Wuzhou to attack the Sui army, Wang Zhibi was killed, Chen Xiaozhang ran back to Yanmen, ordered his generals to defend to the death, and sent people to Luoyang for help, his subordinate Zhang Lun assassinated Chen Xiaozhang and offered Yanmen Pass, the Turkic cavalry burned and looted in Yanmen Pass, the people of the Great Sui were bloody, Liu Wuzhou continued to conquer Loufan County with the help of Turkic power, Entering one of Yang Guang's palaces in Shanxi - Fenyang Palace, the left-behind officials of Fenyang Palace in order to save their lives, collected the treasures and beauties in the palace and presented them to Liu Wuzhou, Liu Wuzhou saw so many treasures and beauties, and his heart began to be complacent, and the generals under him also sent out greedy eyes, and Lu Shuzhi stepped forward to persuade:

"My subordinates congratulate the lord on this great achievement, but there is something unclear, and I want to ask the lord a question?"

"Just ask!"

"The lord thinks that these treasures and beauties are important, or the country is heavy."

"Of course, it's heavy. Needless to say. ”

"Then ask the lord to give all these things outside his body to Shibi Khan." As soon as Secretary Lu said this, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of most of the generals present.

"Lord, don't listen to this nerd, we all attack the city and seize the land, blood and sweat, he just moves his mouth, he is a poet on weekdays, he is a fucking soft egg on the battlefield."

"Yes! Fucking Lao Tzu is fighting to get promoted and get rich and play with women, those Turkic barbarians rob their hands with oil, and they can't get on the horse when they play with women, so Lao Tzu can only watch the wind blowing from the side, this time I finally have such an opportunity, I want to give these treasures and women to that old barbarian, Lao Tzu doesn't do it。。。。。。 "Some people were talking and talking, and they pulled out their knives, deliberately making a loud noise, and the forehead of the scribe Lu didn't know how much cold sweat appeared. I'm afraid I'm going to enter the ghost gate this time. At this time, a person's voice pulled the scribe Lu back from the ghost gate.

"Lord, what Scribe Lu said is really a golden and jade good word! I hope that the lord will adopt it. When the others heard this, they all immediately quieted down, and it was Song Jingang who proposed it, and no one could compare with Song Jingang in terms of military exploits and relationship with Liu Wuzhou. Song Jingang came to Liu Wuzhou's side and whispered a few words in Liu Wuzhou's ear, and Liu Wuzhou nodded. got up and helped Scribe Lu up.

"Hmmm! Mr. Lu is right, ah! But you can't forget your merits, now that we are raising troops, most of you have not started a family, so I have decided, this time the beauties will keep half of them, and they will be given to you as wives, and we are now short of war horses, and all the jewels will be given to Shibi Khan in exchange for war horses, and all the generals will have a good horse mount at that time. What do you think!? After listening to Liu Wuzhou's words, although everyone was also a little dissatisfied, it was not nothing, so they didn't say anything anymore. Shibi Khan was overjoyed to see the trembling beauties and dazzling jewels, but his words were still falsely polite:

"Your envoy is too polite, please bring these jeweled beauties back to treat your people!"

"Khan is gracious. Our lord said that if it weren't for the Khan's help, I'm afraid it would have been dry bones in the grave, so let the ministers bring these small gifts to thank the Great Khan. In order to continue to win over Liu Wuzhou, forming a confrontation between the Northern Zhou and the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Central Plains, which had not been rude since the beginning of the year, gave Liu Wuzhou a large number of war horses, Liu Wuzhou used the war horses sent by the Turks to form a large number of iron horses, captured Dingxiang, and returned to Mayi after encountering Li Yuan's stubborn resistance near Jinyang. In order to retaliate against Li Yuan, Liu Wuzhou once again sent a secretary of Lu to prepare a generous gift to the Turks, and officially declared himself a vassal to the Turks. The two sides agreed that if Liu Wuzhou was attacked by the Sui Dynasty, the Turks would officially raise troops to help. Recognized by the Turks, Liu Wuzhou was officially proclaimed emperor in Mayi, changed to Yuan Tianxing, took Song Jingang as the first hero, was named the king of Song, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and Lu Xinyuan (Lu Shuzhi changed his name to Xinyuan in order to curry favor with Liu Wuzhou after Liu Wuzhou became emperor) as the second meritorious hero, awarded the prime minister a high position, commanded the civil officials, and the news reached Yang Guang's ears.

"Bastard, Liu Wuzhou, this bastard, when I went to the east to conquer Goguryeo, I saw that he was still brave, and promoted him to be a captain, who knew that he was a wolf with ambitions, killed Wang Rengong, colluded with the Turkic barbarians to divide the area of Yanmen in Mayi, and wanted to be on an equal footing with me, he was really a bastard." As he spoke, he threw all the pens, inkstones and other objects on the dragon case to the ground. Niu Hong, the secretary of the ministry, saw Yang Guang angry, and stepped forward to gently persuade:

"Your Majesty, now that things have happened, in addition to urging Taiyuan to stay behind Li Yuan to strengthen the defense of the Taiyuan area in Hedong and prevent Liu Wuzhou from continuing to advance and threaten Chang'an, it is also necessary to transfer General Xue Shixiong's troops back to Hebei to prevent Dou Jiande from making trouble in Hebei!"

"No, Xue Shixiong's army can't move, now Li Wei hasn't been captured, the chaotic people in Luoyang haven't been cleared yet, it's a little clumsy to rely on the escort of Laihu'er and Yuwen Aiqing and others, Xue Shixiong's Hebei army must not move." Niu Hong hit a nail and had to retreat. Pei Yun and Yu Shinan glanced at each other:

"Your Majesty, Jiangnan is your place of Longxing, now the Jiangnan Palace has been completed, and it is quite comfortable, there has been no civil rebellion, and the canal project is close to completion, the canal is thousands of miles long, through the north and south, in the future, the north and south will be smooth, the business road is smoother, and the people's hearts are more unified, please ask the emperor to move to the south of the Yangtze River, and Yu Jiangdu will personally open the gate and release water, so that the north and south water systems are connected as a whole, such a great cause through the ages, you are the first person!" At the mention of the Grand Canal, Yang Guang's heart swelled with pride, but as an emperor, he was unwilling to let others discover the fear in his heart, let alone let his stain be written in the history books.

"No, now that the court is in an eventful time, I can't leave the society and leave, this intention must not be mentioned again in the future." Yang Guang said high-sounding, in the following days, the situation became worse and worse, Li Mi Dou Jiande heard that Liu Wuzhou officially called the emperor, exchange envoys, Dou Jiande set himself up as the king of Xia, to make trouble in Hebei, in order to prevent the Turks from taking advantage of the void to invade the sixteen states of Youyun, Yang Guang issued an order, ordered Xue Shixiong to take the main force of the Hebei army back to Hebei, Li Mi established himself as the king of Wei, re-recruited troops in the hinterland of Henan in the Central Plains, and ordered Wang Shichong to be the ambassador of Henan to catch thieves and recruit ambassadors, to deal with Li Mi, or to leave the two grandsons Yang Yu and Yang Tong in Chang'an and Luoyang respectively, to protect the children, Yu Wenhua and for the escort general, accompanying the escort. After the decree was announced, the ministers of the southern clan, led by Pei Yun, were overjoyed, while the ministers of the north were worried. The day after the will was announced, Li Jiancheng asked to see Yang Guang.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been away from home for a long time, and now he wants to ask the saint to resign and go home to wait for his parents."

"Li Aiqing, you are young and promising, and now the court is a troubled season, should you worry more about me! I can't get your request, go back and quickly pack your luggage and prepare to go down to Jiangdu with me. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has been away from home for a long time, and he misses his parents at home, so I ask the emperor to be gracious!"

"Hahaha! You're probably not just missing your parents! And the wife of the family! Oh, yes! A man can't live without a woman, and when he arrives in Jiangdu, it's the hometown of beautiful women! I personally gave you two Jiangnan beauties, so it's all right! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister just wants to be filial in front of his parents and ask the emperor for mercy!"

"Someone! Li Jiancheng deceived the king and locked him up for me, and he was sentenced three days later. Yang Guang felt that Li Jiancheng was a little unreasonable. Coupled with the unfavorable situation, the resentment in his heart directly wanted Li Jiancheng to vent out, after the guards took Li Jiancheng away, Queen Xiao in the harem got the news, and immediately came to Yang Guang's side to gently appease him, every time Yang Guang jumped like thunder, he was calm under the comfort of Queen Xiao.

"Oh! It turned out to be Zitong! ”

"Your Majesty, the situation is chaotic now, take care of the dragon's body!"

"Humph! Take care of the dragon body, the big head, I don't know who will take it! Yang Guang touched his neck and muttered to himself. Empress Xiao immediately put her hand on Yang Guang's mouth.

"Your Majesty, don't think so!" After Yang Guang was completely calm, Empress Xiao asked Yang Guang again:

"Your Majesty, Jin Yang told me that he was tired and wanted to go back to Chang'an."

"What? She wants to go back to Chang'an, how can this work, now that the people are in turmoil, isn't it dangerous for her to go back to Chang'an as a girl? It's safer than anywhere else by my side. ”

"Your Majesty, we have been tired all the way to the saddle horse, Jinyang she is also tired enough, besides, she has been sick since she was a child, and has been staying in Chang'an, and she has been a little uncomfortable with us all the way to Luoyang, and she has been coughing recently, and I am afraid that she will 。。。。。。 after arriving in Jiangdu." Empress Xiao paused deliberately. The weakest link in Yang Guang's heart was touched.

"Hmmm! My daughter is also suffering with me, let Nanyang and his wife join her! There is also a response on the road, and Yuwen Chengdu also sent it to them, escorting them all the way! ”

"The emperor can't, now the emperor is short of manpower, and Yuwen Chengdu can't leave the emperor's side." Yang Guang was right when he listened to Empress Xiao's words.

"It's not easy! Yu Wenshi is a literati, and I always feel uneasy when he escorts me! Empress Xiao's eyes flashed.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask Li Jiancheng to escort the two sisters? Belch! Why didn't you see Li Jiancheng? Talking about Li Jiancheng, Yang Guang's face showed a touch of embarrassment,

"Hmmm! This Li Jiancheng, I see him as a talent, and kindly want him to accompany me on a tour of Jiangdu, who knows that he doesn't know how to lift, and he actually thought that he would resign from me, I was angry, so I ordered him to be locked up, and prepared to be beheaded in three days, giving me a heroic demeanor. ”

"The emperor must not!"

"Hmm!" Yang Guang's face was a little unhappy, but Queen Xiao still controlled his temper in front of him and didn't get angry. Empress Xiao explained to Yang Guang unhurriedly:

"Your Majesty, back then, you left Li Jiancheng's brother by your side to take precautions, in order to contain Li Yuan, now, the situation is even more turbulent, Li Yuan is also an important force for us to defend Chang'an and resist the Turks in the north, if you kill Li Jiancheng because of this trivial matter, isn't it the reason for Li Yuan to rebel! At that time, it will be dangerous in Guanzhong. Yang Guang listened to Empress Xiao's words and nodded slowly. Empress Xiao strikes while the iron is hot:

"Your Majesty, Jinyang is also older, these days, according to her, I took her to Yang Su Baishou and saw Li Jiancheng, I had some impressions, and now Li Jiancheng has taken root in her heart, it is difficult to pull out, it is better to 。。。。。。。"

"No, then Li Jiancheng already has a wife, should we let our Jinyang go to be his concubine? No, I'll kill him tomorrow. ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Say no more. I'm going to rest, Zitong will also have your own dormitory! Also, Nanyang and Jinyang can go if they want to! You can go tomorrow. After Yang Guang finished speaking, he left without looking back, and Queen Xiao still wanted to say, but Huang En, the eunuch beside Yang Guang, stepped forward and persuaded:

"Mother, you better go back! The emperor is angry, you better go back to the palace! After Empress Xiao returned to her dormitory, Princess Jinyang and Princess Nanyang also got the news:

"Queen Mother, my father wants to kill my brother, how about you go to intercede." Empress Xiao wiped Princess Jinyang's face.

"Jinyang, it's also difficult for your father! You don't blame him. When Princess Jinyang heard Queen Xiao's words, she fainted, Queen Xiao hugged Princess Jinyang and called desperately with Princess Nanyang:

"Jinyang, wake up."

"Sister! Wake up! Early the next morning, Princess Nanyang and Princess Jinyang bid farewell to the emperor and empress in the palace, Yang Guang did not appear, and only sent his personal eunuch Huang En to send a message:

"The two princesses, the emperor didn't sleep all night last night, and today he specially sent a servant to see off the two princesses, and also gave Princess Jinyang a box, which contained a secret decree, saying that if there is any danger in the future, it can only be opened, and maybe it can save the princess's life." Princess Nanyang and his wife are grateful, Jin Yang has been holding his breath because he still has some resentment towards Yang Guang in his heart, Queen Xiao stepped forward and held Princess Jinyang's hand and said:

"Emperor, don't blame your father for some things, it's difficult for him! You just kowtow in the direction of his dormitory, and you can thank you! Jin Yang listened to Empress Xiao's words, reluctantly kowtowed in the direction of Yang Guang's bedroom, and got into the carriage. When I arrived at the west gate of Luoyang, a voice woke up Princess Jinyang in a sullen mood:

"Minister Li Jiancheng sees His Royal Highness the two princesses, and the ministers follow the imperial decree of His Majesty to escort the two princesses back to Chang'an!" Princess Jinyang heard this voice and stretched her head out of the carriage.

"Brother Jiancheng, it's you!" He immediately got out of the car and knelt down in the direction of Luoyang Palace.

"Father, son, thank you for your father's grace."
