The impact of Yu culture and killing the monarch is not as simple as Yanqing imagined. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Previously, everyone fought for me, and one by one they did not hesitate to bear the name of traitors and fought desperately against the Sui Yang clan. But as soon as Yang Guang died, this orthodox name became something that everyone was concerned about. In mid-February, Jingkou Ying Yang Lang led Xie Yingdeng with 800 warriors to cross the river to capture Yang Gong in one fell swoop, behead Yu Culture and his general Zhang Kai, and successfully welcomed Empress Xiao and a group of 17 people who were hiding in Jiangyang County, and returned to Yanling County.

When Empress Xiao arrived in Yanling, she immediately cried and complained about Yu Wenhua's atrocities.

"The Yang family is not thin to be broken in the wild, but the surname of the wolf is not as good as the beast.

attacked the Jiangdu Palace at night, until His Majesty died tragically in the palace...... Such incorruptible, ruthless and unrighteous people, the heroes of the world should be punished. ”

Don't look at Queen Xiao as a woman, but she is Yang Guang's main palace and the queen of the world.

After Yang Guang's death, Empress Xiao represented the orthodoxy of the Sui Yang clan to a certain extent. Her words are equivalent to giving the people of the world a clear statement: Yu Wenhua is a rebel and a thief, and everyone in the world can kill him!

Even when Li Mi rebelled, Yang Guangwei never gave him such an evaluation.

Can ...... now

Empress Xiao's words immediately aroused countless responses. At the beginning of March, Danyang was defended, and when Tu Nan and Xuancheng guerrilla general Fang Xuanling recruited troops in Jiangning, they took the lead in starting a war in Jiangdu; Subsequently, the patriarch of the Zhang clan of Wu County, Zhang Zhongjian, who had the title of Earl of Kunshan, raised 20,000 strong men of his clan and went out of Biling County to conquer Yu Wenhua and.

Fang and Zhang are now the most prestigious in Jiangnan.

As soon as these two families came out, the Xie clansmen, who had then moved to settle down in Huiji County, immediately recruited 8,000 soldiers in Huiji County and rushed to Danyang.

However, not everyone will support Yang.

Just when Zhang Zhongjian led his troops to raise troops, Shen Faxing, who was also from a wealthy family in Wu County, raised troops in Wu County. In the name of conquering Yu Wenhua, he quickly occupied the entire Wu County when the elite of the Zhang clan was exhausted, and recruited more than 60,000 troops, claiming to be the governor of Jiangnan Province, conquering Yuhang County, seizing Xuancheng, and expanding his power rapidly. At the beginning of April, Shen Faxing sealed 100 officials in Qiantang, and his wolf ambition has been fully demonstrated.

For a time, Fang Yanqian's father and son and Zhang Zhongjian faced the situation of being attacked by the enemy.

Fang Xuanling rushed to Jiangning from Jingkou in the starry night, and after discussing with Fang Yanqian, he visited Empress Xiao overnight and asked Empress Xiao to make Yang Guang's grandson, Yang Guo, who was only three years old, the emperor. Empress Xiao is the queen after all, and her opinion also represents the orthodoxy of the Sui family to a certain extent.

So after thinking about it, Empress Xiao announced the world on April 14, and helped Yang Guo, the young grandson of the first emperor, to ascend the throne and change the Yuan Chengqi.

As soon as this edict came out, the world was in an uproar.

Previously, Li Yuan hijacked the acting king Yang Yu as emperor and changed the Yuan Yining; Later, Wang Shichong held Yang Tong, the king of Yue, hostage and called the emperor, and changed the Yuan Huangtai. Although these two are called emperors, they are not as orthodox as Yang Guo of Jiangning in name. It's no wonder that you are hijacking, and Yang Guo is set up by Empress Xiao herself, which is by no means comparable to Emperor Yining and Tai.

After all, Empress Xiao has followed Yang Guang for many years, and in terms of power and strategy, she should not be underestimated.

After she established her young grandson Yang Guo as the emperor, she immediately sealed Fang Yanqian as the prime minister, Zhang Zhongjian as the left servant of Shangshu Ling, and the governor of internal and external military affairs.

Fang Xuanling served as the secretary of the military department, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, and worshiped Tu Gong.

The shelves of this court have to be erected first. After Empress Xiao established orthodoxy in Jiangning, the Sui courtiers who were exiled in Jiangdu defected one after another. Immediately afterwards, Du Fuwei, the governor of Liyang County and the leader of the righteous army, wrote a letter to ask for surrender, and respected Emperor Yang Guo in Liyang.

Originally, Empress Xiao was reluctant to accept it, but Fang Yanqian said: "Rao Yi Du Fuwei, and get Jianghuai Dao, why should the Queen Mother care about her past?" Back then, Mai Tie Cane and Mai Zhuguo were also born as bandits, but since they submitted to the emperor, they have been full of loyalty.

Now the Empress Dowager should follow the example of the previous emperor, not only pardon Du Fuwei, but also give him a justifiable name.

Didn't Du Fuwei call himself the head of Liyang before? The Queen Mother named him a governor of Liyang, gave him a knighthood, and ordered him to raise troops from Liyang and join forces with Fang Qiao to attack Jiangdu. Then ask Zhang Shangshu to lead his soldiers and recapture Wu County, and the peace that Jiangnan can get ......"

Empress Xiao accompanied Yang Guangli through many hardships, starting from King Jin to later Emperor Daye, all the way down through ups and downs. Today, Empress Xiao is nearly fifty years old, although she is properly maintained, but after all, her age is there. She can make Emperor Yang of Sui obey him, and she is still infatuated after decades of marriage, not all of her beauty. She has her own way of dealing with the world, and she is very clever.

Hearing Fang Yanqian say this, Empress Xiao immediately realized her mistake.

In the city of Jiangning, there are many old ministers of great causes.

But the people that Empress Xiao trusts the most now and thinks are the most trustworthy are the Fang family's father and son and the Zhang clan of Wu County.

"What the prime minister said is very true, then follow the prime minister's idea."

Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army, among the rebels, can be regarded as an extremely fierce one. Its combat effectiveness is so strong that it is not lost to Wagang.

It's just that the number of Jianghuai troops is not as strong as Wagang, and at the same time, military discipline is scattered.

In fact, Wagang was also like this at the beginning. However, with Li Mi going up the mountain, Qin Qiong, Wei Zheng, Zheng Tingxiang and other court officials joined in, and the trend gradually reversed. Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army did not have such an opportunity, nor did it have the prestige of Li Mi. In addition, at the beginning of his army, he fought with Fang Xuanling, and he was defeated repeatedly, and almost all of them were in a state of rushing to die, how could he have a chance to rectify military discipline?

When the world was in turmoil, Jianghuai bandits were everywhere, and Fang Xuanling had no time to take care of it, Du Fuwei's military discipline was difficult to change.

However, having such a strong pawn is undoubtedly a huge gain for Emperor Jiangning Chengqi.

On an April day, it was raining.

Fang Yanqian returned home, but saw Fang Xuanling waiting at home.

Fang Xuanling is Chinese New Year's Eve and nine-year-old, and the sea has been up and down for many years, and he has long since lost the immaturity he was when he first met Li Yanqing in the Luoyang Bamboo Garden.

He was tall, eight feet tall.

The body is strong, but it is not elegant.

When Yan Qing corresponded in private, Zanfang Xuanling was a martial arts bone. It is said that he has the heroic spirit of a military general, and he has the elegance of a famous man.

Fang Xuanling wrote back that he liked such a statement.

"Xiao Qiao, you don't supervise the battle in Jingkou, what are you doing when you come back?"

Fang Xuanling's real name is Fang Qiao, so Fang Yanqian is often called 'Little Qiao'. Even later, Yan Qing did the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Tongque Shen Palace locked Er Qiao, which made Fang Xuanling be teased for a while. As Fang Xuanling's status gets higher and higher, there are fewer and fewer people who dare to call him Xiao Qiao. Except for Yan Qing and Du Ruhui who occasionally called it so in their letters, only Fang Yanqian called it that.

"Dad, I heard that Du Fuwei has surrendered?"

"Exactly."

"The Queen Mother ......"

"The Queen Mother didn't agree at first, but I persuaded her just now, and she finally nodded."

"Hmm!"

Fang Yanqian said: "Why, you are not optimistic about Du Fuwei? ”

"Dad, Du Fuwei is heroic and heroic, but he is a hero.

Although I fought him many times, and even almost killed him, I admired him. When I came to Danyang and said goodbye to Yanqing in Xingyang County, Yanqing said that Jianghuai would be plagued by bandits, and this Du Fuwei bore the brunt. I have been preparing for the war for five years now, but instead of being captured by me, this Du Fuwei has become stronger and stronger, and he is indeed a rare talent. If this man is sincere and obedient, he is a rare and powerful general...... But what I'm worried about is not Du Fuwei, but Nafu Gongyou. ”

"Oh?"

"In the list that Yanqing gave me at the beginning, Fu Gongyou ranked fourth.

But as far as I can see, the harm of this auxiliary public blessing is far greater than that of Du Fuwei. This man is scheming, good at winning people's hearts, and quite capable of organic change. His ambition is far greater than that of Duvowe...... Even if it can be lowered for a while, but it cannot be descended for a lifetime, it will become a problem for the henchmen in the future. ”

Fang Yanqian couldn't help but nod with relief, and a smile appeared on his stereotyped face.

"Little Joe's observation is enough to show that you can stand alone.

In the past five years, Fu Gongyou has not been very good, and even with Du Fuwei, everyone will focus on Du Fuwei and ignore his existence. But according to the information I have received, his status in the Jianghuai army is not low, and the generals from all walks of life respect him very much. On the surface, this person only played the role of an auxiliary minister, but in fact, once Du Fuwei was not in the army, this person could control the Jianghuai army in ten days.

Xiao Qiao, I plan to recruit him to Jiangning and prevent him from staying in the army.

You need to have a good relationship with Du Fuwei, and it is best to control the Jianghuai Army through Du Fuwei. Only in this way can we be invincible. ”

"Daddy means ......"

Fang Xuanling shuddered, and from Fang Yanqian's words, he heard the sound outside the strings.

Fang Yanqian got up and walked out of the room, looked around and saw that there was no one, and returned again.

"Xiao Qiao, do you think this Sui room is not guaranteed?"

"This ......"

"Today, you and I are not talking as subordinate officials, but as father and son.

I know what you're thinking, but don't worry, I'm just going to tell you what I think. When I hurriedly set up the emperor's grandson to ascend the throne, it was also a matter of necessity. It stands to reason that with the support of the queen mother, the imperial grandson should be able to sit firmly. But...... Although the queen mother is a queen, she is a woman after all. It is impossible for her to control the government for a long time, otherwise it will cause turmoil. And the imperial grandson is too young, only three years old. Even at the age when he is pro-government, the situation he faces will be very bad. And most importantly......"

Fang Yanqian hesitated for a moment and said softly: "When the Queen Mother escaped from Jiangdu Palace, she lost the jade seal of the country. ”

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he immediately gasped.

The Chinese people used the seal letter to show credit, which began in the Zhou Dynasty. It was not until the Qin Dynasty that there was a distinction between seals and seals. The seal used by the emperor is called the seal; The subjects can only use it as a seal. According to the Han Book, the emperor should have six seals: the emperor's seal, the emperor's seal, the emperor's letter seal, the emperor's seal, the emperor's seal, and the emperor's letter seal.

The six seals are used for different purposes, and they are generally in charge of the festival.

However, the jade seal of the country is not among the six seals, and he represents the word 'orthodoxy'.

The so-called true son of heaven must have a jade seal of the country, otherwise he can only be the king of grass chickens, not the true dragon son of heaven.

Empress Xiao does not have the jade seal in her hand, this problem is serious! Even if she is the empress dowager, she cannot ensure the legitimacy of Emperor Yang Guo. In other words, he may still be able to suppress civil and military officials when he is alive; But once Queen Xiao passes away, who will care about Yang Guo?

Now that hundreds of civil and military officials are willing to defect, and even Du Fuwei is willing to surrender, to a large extent, there is also the reason why this heirloom jade seal is in the hands of Empress Xiao.

As soon as it was known, Empress Xiao did not have the words of the jade seal of the country in her hands......

"Dad, where is the jade seal of the country now?"

Fang Yanqian shook his head, "I don't know...... However, it is certain that the jade seal of the country is not in the hands of the head of the broken field. Otherwise, he would have taken it out to show off a long time ago, so why would he be attacked on all sides now? I have ordered someone to secretly go to Jiangdu to investigate, but I still have not received a reply.

It is said that His Majesty carried the jade seal of the country with him during his lifetime, so it must have been in the Jiangdu Palace.

But now, Jiangdu Palace is almost in ruins. That night, Yu culture and the killing ring, many palace people were forced to flee, this heirloom jade seal is really hard to say, where was it lost...... Xiao Qiao, I am telling you this, in fact, I want to tell you: if the situation is really irreversible, you still need to make a decision early. ”

"What about you?"

"Me?" Fang Yanqian smiled, "I'm not afraid of broken bones, and I will leave my innocence in the world...... What Dad wants now is nothing more than innocence. ”

"Then how should I decide?"

This country has become a mess, but it is only the emperor of the Sui family, and there are four Yang Guo who is supported by his own family.

How to choose, how to decide?

Fang Xuanling was also difficult to find out the answer for a while.

Fang Yanqian closed his eyes and thought for a long time.

This is indeed not an easy question to answer, and it is more related to the survival plan of the Fang family. If you don't plan properly, you will be ruined.

Where do we go from here?

Fang Yanqian suddenly had a flash of inspiration, raised his head and said, "Xiao Qiao, are you still writing letters with that little monster in Xingyang?" ”

Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes...... However, last year, there were frequent wars in Xingyang, coupled with the change in the eastern capital, and the Zhang family withdrew from Luoyang, so our communication was not convenient. At the end of the year, he sent a letter, but it didn't say anything, only that he was married, and that he would come to visit us in peacetime. ”

Peacetime!

These three words, for many people, may not mean much.

In times of war, who doesn't look forward to peace? But this sentence came from Li Yanqing's handwriting and was sent to the hands of Danyang Fang Xuanling, which has a different meaning.

Fang Yanqian pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said, "He really said, did he come to visit you in peacetime?" ”

"yes!"

Fang Xuanling didn't care about the meaning contained in these three words. But who is he? At the age of eighteen, he served as a county commander in his twenties, and was a famous minister in the early Tang Dynasty in history. Fang Yanqian's inquiry made Fang Xuanling react immediately.

"Dad, do you mean ......?"

Fang Yanqian smiled and said: "Xiao Qiao, the splendid articles in your little brother's belly are endless.

I am convinced that he has made his choice...... It's just that the time hasn't come yet, so it's impossible to say yet. What you have to do now is very simple, strike hard at the head of the field, on the other hand, you have to befriend Du Fuwei and take the opportunity to control the Jianghuai army. Remember, the more power you have, the more capital you'll have to negotiate with that little monster in the future...... As for me, I'll hold you up until the end. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded lightly, revealing a contemplative look!
