Chapter 253 Yanmen Pass
The assassination incident that occurred in Yuan Pingcheng can only become an unsolved case, after all, the assassination of the Goguryeo assassins last time was directly pushed by Wan He to Li Yuan. Now that there is another Goguryeo assassination incident, Yang Guang will not believe it even if he is stupid! And Wan He didn't think about continuing to push this matter on Li Yuan, but looking back, he had just cheated Li Yuan before, and if Li Yuan was allowed to carry the black pot again, it would be difficult to guarantee that Li Yuan, the old guy, would not go crazy!
However, as soon as the guard of Yuanping City died, he could not leave, Wanhe had to replace the guard, stay in Yuanping City, wait for the Son of Heaven to drive the Holy Driver, and the Son of Heaven Holy Drive personally assigned the candidate to stay in the original Pingcheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This time, Wan He didn't wait too long, and on the seventh day, the huge army rushed to Yuanping City!
This time Yang Guang toured the north, except for a few officials, almost all the civil and military officials went out on patrol, and even several princes of Yang Guang also came to this northern frontier! Since there are so many important people, the security issue naturally cannot be underestimated, Yang Guang this time is the Eastern Capital's Imperial Forest Army brought out, in addition to the 10,000 people brought out by Wan He before, there are nearly 40,000 Royal Forest Army by Yang Guang's side! With the protection of these 40,000 Royal Forest Army, no one dares to provoke even if they pass by the territory of any bandit along the way! It is precisely because of this that Yang Guang affirmed the fact that the world is peaceful, and along the way, he scolded Su Wei and others for being alarmist! Even if the ministers under him knew the reason, they didn't dare to talk much, for fear of making Yang Guang unhappy, and then the unlucky one could only be himself.
However, after arriving in Yuanping City, Yang Guang was still angry, because the imperial vanguard he sent was actually assassinated again! Although he was also complaining in his heart about how Wan He was like a troublemaker, he was chased and killed everywhere, but now Wan He was hanging the title of a royal pioneer after all, wouldn't assassinating him be tantamount to slapping his old Yang in the face? Is this worth it? Immediately, Yang Guang ordered a thorough investigation, and the murderer must be caught!
Wan He doesn't care about this, but he can also guess that Yang Guang's thorough investigation must have ended in nothing! Since those Goguryeo assassins were able to lurk here silently, it can be seen that there must be some reason for this, just relying on Yang Guang to send people to investigate, it will definitely not be able to find out anything!
Of course, after all, Wan He was not injured, and it was impossible for Yang Guang to stay in such a small city as Yuanping for such a thing. Therefore, Yang Guang quickly assigned a new guard, but this new defender made Wan He a little surprised. Because, the one who served as the new guard of Yuanping City was Li Jing, who came with Wan He!
After getting the news, Wan He and Li Jing were shocked, and they were also a little surprised by the Son of Heaven's arrangement, and they were a little unsure of the Son of Heaven's intention to arrange it. However, since the holy order came down, they did not dare to disobey the holy order, leaving Li Jing in Yuanping City, and Wan He took Pei Xingyan and followed the Son of Heaven to drive all the way to the final destination of this northern tour - Yanmen Pass!
Yanmen Pass is the gateway of the Central Plains to the grassland of northern Xinjiang, and since ancient times, it has also been a place where Han and Hu must fight! If the nomads in the north want to go south to the Central Plains, they must pass this pass first! Therefore, Yanmen Pass is also the most important checkpoint for the imperial courts in previous dynasties!
The royal driver came to the front of the Yanmen Pass, and before the Son of Heaven sent someone to the Yanmen Pass to inform, he saw the gate of the Yanmen Pass in front of him wide open, and a team drove out of the pass quickly, and rushed to meet the royal car! Seeing so many people rushing over, Sima Dekan, who served as the general of the Royal Forest Army, immediately brought a team of people, blocked in front of the royal car, and shouted: "Escort!" Escort! ”
"Stand down!" Sima Dekan was loyal, but he didn't expect him to be drunk back with a shout. Originally, as the general of the Royal Forest Army, Sima Dekan was also considered a powerful person in the court, but when he heard this shout, he didn't even hesitate at all, and retreated directly, because it was Yang Guang who made this shout! Yang Guang squinted his eyes at the people and horses in front of him who were rushing towards this side, squinted his eyes and smiled: "I can't tell if it's an enemy or a friend, how do you protect me?" ”
As soon as Yang Guang said this, Sima Dekan's face turned blue with fright, and he hurriedly jumped off the horse, and directly lay on the ground and didn't dare to make a sound. And Yang Guang just scolded casually, turned his head and looked ahead, waiting for the team to arrive. When the group of men and horses approached, they found that they were all heavily armored and heavy-mounted, and the leader was the only one, wearing brown armor, about forty or fifty years old, and looking righteous and awe-inspiring. When he came to the royal car, this person directly turned over and dismounted, bowed to the Son of Heaven, and shouted: "The last general Yun Dingxing!" Long live our Emperor! Banzai! Hooray! The last general is late, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins! ”
At this moment, Wan He was riding a mount to stay among the ministers, and beside Wan He was Wan He's old friend, Cui Junsu, the servant of the ministry. Hearing that Yun Dingxing reported to his home, Wan He also frowned, he had never heard of this person's name, when he turned his head and asked Cui Junsu: "Brother Cui!" Who is this Yun Dingxing? ”
Hearing Wan He ask about Yun Dingxing, Cui Junsu's face immediately showed disdain, of course, this disdain is not aimed at Wan He, it is obviously aimed at Yun Dingxing in Wan He's mouth! Cui Junsu looked coldly at Yun Dingxing, who was kneeling there in front of him, and snorted: "It's just a wall grass, villain!" Speaking of this person, he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor! His daughter is the Zhao Xun of the abolished prince, when his daughter was favored by the abolished prince, he also used this relationship to give slander to the abolished prince every day! It can be said that most of the reasons for the abolition of the prince back then came from this person! ”
When Cui Junsu talked about this, his voice was very low, of course Wan He also understood the reason, the waste prince in Cui Junsu's mouth was Yang Yong, the eldest son of the first emperor! It is rumored that Yang Guang used up all the organs back then, so that the first emperor could abolish Yang Yong's position as the crown prince, so that he could get the great treasure! And Yang Guang has just ascended the throne, and the first thing is to prepare an edict from the emperor to give Yang Yong to death! Although this matter is well known, it is also forbidden in the court, and the ministers only dare to discuss it in private, but they dare not let Yang Guang hear it, otherwise, it will provoke Yang Guang's taboo!
However, Wan He was a little confused, and he also lowered his voice like Cui Junsu, and asked Cui Junsu: "Brother Cui!" Since this Yun Dingxing is the father-in-law of the abolished prince, why does His Majesty still entrust him with such an important task and hand over such an important Yanmen Pass to him to guard? ”
Cui Junsu's face showed a hint of sarcasm again, mixed with some indignation, his eyes turned forward, and he snorted: "What else can be the reason, this Yun Dingxing is good at calculation, when the abolished prince was in power, I don't know how many people's fat and people's ointment were looted!" Later, the abolished prince lost power, and he immediately turned to His Majesty, and at the same time bribed the important ministers of the court to intercede for him, which saved his life! Later, in order to be promoted and make a fortune, he even personally made a statement to His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to poison his own grandson Yang Yan! and exiled the other sons of the abolished prince, and then secretly hunted them down and killed them, after cutting off the abolished prince! I heard that the cup of poisonous wine that poisoned Yang Yan was poured by Yun Dingxing himself! ”
Hearing Cui Junsu tell the history of Yun Dingxing's fortune, Wan He couldn't help but shudder! As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, but this Yun Dingxing is willing to kill even his own grandson for the sake of his own future! Wan He even had the idea of wanting to dissect this Yun Dingxing's heart to take a look and see if his heart was black! However, Wan He also understands why Yang Guang will use this abolished prince's father-in-law so much, Yun Dingxing has shown his loyalty so much, and Yang Guang will naturally reuse it. As for the important minister who spoke for Yun Dingxing that Cui Junsu said before, Wan He also guessed it, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and he dared to speak for the father-in-law who abolished the prince, except for that Yu Wenshu, who else could there be?
Wan He and Cui Junsu were talking here, and Yang Guang in front of him had already made a gesture of support to Yun Dingxing who was kneeling in front of him with a pleasant face, and said, "Yun Aiqing, please get up!" Aiqing has the heavy responsibility of guarding the border gates, and she has worked hard all these years! ”
"The last will be terrified!" Yun Dingxing stood up, but he still lowered his head, and said respectfully to Yang Guang: "The last general only knows how to serve His Majesty, although this Yanmen Pass is bitter, but the last general is still happy in his heart!" ”
"Phew!" As soon as Yun Dingxing said this, Cui Junsu couldn't help but spit in a low voice, and hummed: "Can you be unhappy!" There are countless traders who come in and out of Yanmen Pass every day, and this oil and water alone is incredible! Over the years, this guy has only been afraid that he will be weak when he makes money! What else is bitter? Bitter fart! ”
Hearing Cui Junsu's words, Wan He couldn't help but snicker a few times, no wonder Cui Junsu is like this, don't look at Cui Junsu's bold temperament, which is different from other civil officials, but he is still a saint in his bones! What Yun Dingxing did was completely contrary to the words of the sage, and Cui Junsu naturally looked at Yun Dingxing unpleasantly! Not only Cui Junsu, but Wan He could also hear the cursing of many civil officials around him, and the most funny thing for Wan He was that there was Feng Deyi's voice among them! Thinking of this guy's greedy appearance, I'm afraid that what he hates the most is the fact that Yun Dingxing receives money and receives soft hands!
And the scolding of the ministers did not reach Yang Guang's ears, what Yang Guang heard was still Yun Dingxing's flattering words, and suddenly Yang Guang was Longyan Dayue, laughed, nodded and said: "Yun Aiqing is really the minister of the society!" With Yun Aiqing guarding this goose gate for me, I don't have to worry about it! Ladies and gentlemen, you should take Yun Aiqing as an example, do your best, and be loyal to the Great Sui! ”
