Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and then became angry: "What? Xu Guogong, do you mean that someone wants to rebel against me? Who the hell?! ”

Yu Wenshu put on a look of wanting to speak and stopped, looked at the palace people and guards around him, Yang Guang gritted his teeth, it was a secret report of rebellion, and he also knew that there were too many people who should not know, so Yang Guang waved his hand, and the surrounding guards walked away under the leadership of Shen Guang, leaving three deaf and dumb guards still guarding.

Yang Guang said in a deep voice: "Xu Guogong, who wants to rebel, you can say it now." ”

Yuwen Shu Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, recently, inside and outside Zhuo County, and even in the barracks of various armies, a terrible nursery rhyme has begun to appear, called Tao Li wins the world!" ”

Yang Guang stood up abruptly and shouted: "What, there are such rebellious rumors!" What are the law enforcement officers and the criminal department doing, and why is no one reporting it?! ”

Yuwenshu hurriedly knelt on the ground, and even the three deaf and dumb guards didn't know what was going on, but when they saw Yang Guang like this, Yuwenshu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and they all knelt down.

Yang Guang closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, opened his eyes, and said to Yu Wenshu, who was kneeling in front of him: "Xu Guogong, calm down, you have meritorious reports, I won't blame you." Sit back. You go on and say, what the hell is going on. ”

Yuwen Shu stood up tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister received a letter the day before yesterday, which was written by Yuwen Chengtoe, the grandson who stayed at home in the Eastern Capital, he did not go out with the army, but stayed in the palace as Zuo Yuwei, he said that in the Luoyang area recently, there was a terrible nursery rhyme, that is, the peach and plum won the world, and spread all over the city. Even if the officials of the Eastern Capital beheaded a lot of people who spread rumors, they still couldn't ban it, and what was even more terrifying was that even the Daxing area in Guanzhong seemed to have begun to circulate this nursery rhyme earlier. ”

Yang Guang gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, nursery rhyme." This kind of old-fashioned method is still left over from my old play, there must be some people with ulterior motives, who want to rebel against usurpation and start to set up the situation in advance, Xu Guogong, why did no one report this matter to me among my close ministers? ”

Yuwenshu sighed: "Because Your Majesty has issued a strict order, saying that the army is about to go on an expedition, and there are any rumors spreading." The rumors that shake the morale of the army and confuse the gods are not allowed to spread, and they are directly killed. Therefore, the courtiers around His Majesty either did not know this rumor, or they did not dare to report it if they knew. ”

As far as Weichen knows, in the past two days, this rumor has spread to the area of Zhuo County. Even among the armies outside the imperial camp, sergeants began to spread. Although the commanders of the battalions will protect themselves. Kill all the sergeants who have this myth, but still can't stop it from spreading. Even if the old minister does not come to report, I am afraid that when the court is in court this morning, there will be loyal courtiers who will report this matter to His Majesty. ”

Yang Guang snorted coldly: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and it is not as loyal to me as a Xu Guogong who is idle at home. Xu Guogong, I know about this. But. What do you think of this fallacy? What does this sentence mean? ”

Yu Wenshu's brows furrowed, and he said, "This peach and plum, in Weichen's opinion." It should be homophonic, it seems to say that the person surnamed Tao, and the person surnamed Li, what connection should there be between them, and then this person surnamed Tao or surnamed Li will rebel and seize the world of my Great Sui. Or, there will be some other explanation, so Your Majesty should strengthen your vigilance and take strict precautions against the generals and important ministers surnamed Tao and Li in the court, especially for those who are in charge of the army. ”

Yang Guang nodded thoughtfully: "There don't seem to be any ministers and generals surnamed Tao in the court, but there are quite a few surnamed Li, and there are several generals in charge of the army, Li Yuan, Duke of Tang, Li Hun, Duke of Chengguo, and Li Jing, Duke of Huaguo, as well as Li Mi, Duke of Pushan County, Li Jing of Mayi County, General Zuo Wuhou, and Li Zixiong, Duke of Jianchang County, are also famous generals with the surname Li all over the world. Could it be that among these people, there will be a thief? ”

Yu Wenshu pretended to be loyal and upright, and said: "Your Majesty, if you have this kind of rumor, you would rather believe it than believe it, the rumor that Xiao Xiaofu reported to you last time, after you monitored and suppressed the Xiao clan, this rumor was automatically calmed down, and this rumor that Tao Li won the world is even more sinister, pointing directly at His Majesty's country, and His Majesty cannot be despised even more." ”

Yang Guang gritted his teeth and said, "Do you mean that I want to remove all the generals surnamed Li in the world like I did with the Xiao family?" ”

Yuwen Shu saw that Yang Guang used a rhetorical question, knowing that he didn't mean this in his heart, his eyes rolled, and his words turned: "No, no, no, Your Majesty misunderstood the meaning of Weichen, and now he is about to conquer Goguryeo, which is a plan to use people, at this time, he will withdraw the general surnamed Li without permission, not to mention Li Yuan, Li Hun, and Li Jing, these three are all important ministers, even if Li Mi, Li Jing, and Li Zixiong are also useful talents for the country, and they are also the number one in the Guanlong family. ”

Yang Guang nodded, and his eyebrows eased slightly: "What does Xu Guogong mean?" ”

Yuwenshu had already prepared a draft before he came to see Yang Guang, if Yang Guang was full of anger, he could say that he would seize Li Hun's military power, and then slowly plant the blame, but Yang Guang was not carried away by anger, and when he was still sensible, he had to retreat to the second, Yuwenshu said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of defending people is indispensable. Among the generals you mentioned, there are only three people with heavy troops and heavy responsibilities, Li Yuan, Li Hun, and Li Jinger! ”

"For Li Yuan, Your Majesty has always had preventive measures, not letting him take charge of the army, only letting him transport grain in Huaiyuan Town, Weichen thinks that it is okay to continue to do this, and Li Yuan's eldest son Jiancheng is now serving as a guard here with His Majesty, which is also a hostage, Your Majesty can be relieved."

Yang Guang nodded: "Li Yuan is my cousin after all, and I don't believe that he will rebel." As for Li Jing, the prince of the slippery country, what is the best way for Xu Guogong? ”

Yuwenshu smiled slightly: "Li Jing, the Duke of Huaguo, is a pure soldier, when he was under the Han King Yang Liang and served as the governor of Daizhou, he did not rebel and make trouble, but stood on His Majesty's side. These two times when His Majesty was in danger, he did not show any disloyalty, and this time he also went out with the car, thinking that he was a pioneer, far away from the imperial camp, and Weichen thought that Li Jing was not to worry.
