Although the war in Liaodong finally reached Jiangdu in a month and a half, and the streets of the market, the government and the opposition were discussing this matter, but the Son of Heaven Yang Guang remained silent and did not make any movement, which really puzzled the ministers of the imperial court, when did the Son of Heaven become so tolerant?

Jiangdu Palace, Yan King Yang Qi hurriedly walked through the long corridor and came to the imperial grandfather's imperial study, he had just received the news that the imperial grandfather, who had been ignoring the government for several months, finally appeared in the imperial study, Yang Qi decided to seize this opportunity to talk to the imperial grandfather about Liaodong.

Since Yang Qi was reprimanded by the emperor's grandfather for his self-defeating Bohai meeting, he no longer dared to do anything rashly against Zhang Xuan, but only secretly contacted some officials in Qingzhou to learn about Zhang Xuan's situation in Qingzhou from their mouths.

Yang Qi heard the news of Liaodong a few days ago, and he was very angry in his heart, obviously, Zhang Xuan attacked Liaodong, but he was angry and angry, without the consent of the emperor's grandfather, he still didn't dare to make any decisions without authorization.

Yang Qi walked quickly to the front of the imperial study, and an old eunuch on duty hurriedly bowed to him, Yang Qi pointed to the room and looked at the eunuch.

The old eunuch understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "The Holy Lord is here, and now he is talking to Pei Gong, do you want the old slave to report for His Highness?" ”

Yang Qi hesitated, but still nodded, he was worried that the emperor's grandfather would leave after talking to Pei Ju.

The old eunuch turned around and went in, and after a moment came out with a smile: "Your Highness, please come in!" ”

Yang Ju suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked into the imperial study, in the imperial study, the tired Son of Heaven Yang Guangzheng was talking to Pei Ju, at this time Pei Ju stopped talking, Yang Guang saw Yang Ju come in, and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong with Qi'er?" ”

Yang Qi hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed, "You are here to say hello to the emperor's grandfather!" ”

Yang Guang smiled, "I know you're here for something." Tell me what you have to do! ”

"Imperial Grandfather is about"

Yang Qi said hesitantly: "Regarding the war in Liaodong, has the imperial grandfather heard about it?" ”

Yang Guang and Pei Ju glanced at each other, and Yang Guang asked with a gentle smile: "I am talking to Pei Gong about this, do you have any ideas?" ”

Yang Qi's spirits perked up, it turned out that the emperor's grandfather was also concerned about this matter, and he hurriedly said: "Grandson has suppressed Zhang Xuan and opened the way to Gao. There is no opinion on rescuing Liucheng, but when he heard that Zhang Xuan was stationed in Yanjun, his grandson was really puzzled, what was his intention? ”

Yang Guang pondered for a while and said: "Everything has a cause to have an effect, Zhang Xuan's army sent to Liaodong is just a result, as the emperor's grandson, I hope you can see the reason why he sent troops to Liaodong, don't follow the crowd because of the rumors in Jiangdu." ”

Yang Qi was stunned in his heart, and then secretly congratulated himself that he had not made a hasty decision. It seems that the imperial grandfather has other ideas.

"My grandson doesn't know, please teach my grandfather."

Yang Guang took out a recital and said slowly: "This is a recital that Zhang Xuan put on more than two months ago, he said that Gao Kaidao led 20,000 troops from Linyu Pass into Liaodong, Luo Yi did not stop them, but let them into Liaodong, of course, Luo Yi may be to send Gao Kaidao, the plague god, away. The armies in various places often make such small moves, and I don't want to pursue them. But there is one thing that I agree with Zhang Xuan in the scroll, and that is that Goguryeo is peeking into Liaodong. ”

Yang Qi thought thoughtfully, "Grandfather Huang said that Gao Kaidao has something to do with Goguryeo?" ”

Yang Guang glanced at Pei Ju, Pei Ju understood, and then said, "Your Highness." Cui Junsu had just returned from Qinghe County and brought back a Goguryeo man, this person was Ning Shoude, who was Yuan Taizuo's staff and also Gao Kaidao's military advisor. Captured in Liaodong, he has confessed that Gao Kaidao is actually the royal family of Goguryeo. ”

This news shocked Yang Qi, and he immediately realized that the war in Liaodong was by no means as simple as he thought, and had a very deep background, involving Goguryeo.

Pei Ju said unhurriedly: "I'm afraid things are even more complicated, if Gao Kaidao's real identity is the Goguryeo royal family, then why did Luo Yi let Gao Kaidao go to Liaodong, we also know that the Bohai Society and Goguryeo have long colluded, so what does Luo Yi have to do with the Bohai Society, frankly speaking, the situation in Hebei is no longer as simple as a rebellion against bandits." ”

Yang Qi's heart was in a mess, he really didn't expect things to be so complicated, which meant that Goguryeo's forces had fully invaded Liaodong and even Hebei.

Yang Guang took a few steps with his hands down, stood in front of the window and stared at the north and sighed: "This is the reason why I want to attack Goguryeo again, I didn't destroy its country at the beginning, it was indeed a bit of a mistake, seeing its wolf ambitions, I can't do anything now." ”

Pei Ju hurriedly knelt down, "It's the fault of the old minister!" ”

Yang Guang shook his head, "This matter has nothing to do with Pei Gong, it was a decision made by me, and I was worried that Silla would be big, so I decided to keep Goguryeo." ”

After pondering for a long time, Yang Guang slowly said to himself: "Although Zhang Xuan made me also uneasy, at least he is still a Sui minister, with him, I don't have to worry about Goguryeo's invasion of the Central Plains, otherwise, I will really be laughed at by the world." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Guang said to Yang Qi again: "The courtiers are not allowed to discuss the battle of Liaodong again, and those who violate the order will be severely punished, understand?" ”

"Grandson understood."

Pei Ju left the Jiangdu Palace, returned to his official residence in Jiangdu, he sat on the horse and silently looked at the street scene outside the car window, his heart was really full of emotion, when the Son of Heaven had just ascended the throne, he was ambitious, attacking the Turks in the north, sweeping Tuguhun in the west, opening up the territory, moving the capital to Luoyang, digging the Grand Canal, what a majestic strategy, but now his ambition has long been gone, and he only hopes that Zhang Xuan can save face for him, and even does not pursue Zhang Xuan's various ultra vires behaviors, which makes people have to sigh.

Pei Ju couldn't help but think of Zhang Xuan again, this person's wrist is really powerful, it can be said that turning his hands into clouds, covering his hands for rain, seeing that because of the Bohai meeting and the imperial court, he played a very beautiful trick again, sent troops to Liaodong, you must know that Goguryeo has always been the key point of the Son of Heaven, as a result, he exterminated Gao Kaidao, cut off the path of Goguryeo's westward expansion to Hebei, and forced the Son of Heaven to make a choice, either to turn his face with him, or rely on him to clamp Goguryeo.

Zhang Xuan's extremely clever move made him get rid of the crisis of the imperial court, as long as Zhang Xuan kept a low profile and did not make arrogant moves, the Son of Heaven would no longer think about how to bring him down for a while.

Pei Ju began to regret it again in his heart, why did he use his concubine to marry him in the first place? The Lu family seized the opportunity, and the Pei family lost a person they could rely on

With the advent of an autumn rain, the hot summer finally passed, and the cool autumn came to the land of Qingzhou.

It has been two months since Zhang Xuan returned from Liaodong, and although the imperial court has not been calm in these two months, there have been no accidents in Liaodong, and everything is implementing his immigration plan step by step, moving the population from all over Liaodong to Yancheng and Liucheng, relying on these two fortified cities to control Liaodong.

But Zhang Xuan still couldn't let go of Goguryeo, he knew that Goguryeo's power in Liaodong was pulled out, and he lost the fulcrum of the Liaodong Peninsula and the humble city, Goguryeo would never give up.

On this morning, Zhang Xuan led his family on an autumn trip by boat all the way to the mouth of the Juyang River.

Maybe it was because they were forced to stay in the room in the summer and didn't dare to go out, Zhang Xuan's three wives were all in high spirits, not to mention the outgoing martial artist and Xin Yu, who was born in the grassland, and even Lu Qing, who has always been quiet, also talked and laughed, and the three of them made fun of Zhang Xuan, which made the big boat laugh all the way.

Lu Qing was worried about her son who was sleeping in the cabin, turned around and went to the cabin next to her, Wu Niang walked to the window of the boat, she looked at the wide water on both sides and suddenly asked in surprise: "Husband, why did the estuary suddenly widen here?" ”

Xin Yu stepped forward and looked at it and said with a smile: "Second sister, this should be the estuary." ”

Wu Niang suddenly, she looked at the sparkling sea in the distance, her eyes became a little stupid, and she muttered to herself, "It turns out that this is the Bohai Sea!" ”

Zhang Xuan walked behind his beloved wife, hugged her slightly bulging lower abdomen and smiled: "I have always seen a well-informed chivalrous woman, haven't you seen Bohai yet?" ”

Wu Niang gave him a blank look, "Someone has long promised to accompany me to Bohai for a walk, but when I walked to Juyang Town, he left me behind, saying that the boat yard is nothing to look at, and I really don't know what Bohai looks like!" ”

Zhang Xuan scratched his head embarrassedly, Wu Niang didn't say it, he really forgot about it.

"Huh! In fact, Bohai is not like this! It's about the same as the East China Sea. ”

At this time, Xin Yu listened to a few words from his relatives at the door of the cabin, and then turned around and said, "Fulang, there seems to be someone looking for you outside." ”

Zhang Xuan didn't like to be disturbed at this time, but he also understood that if it wasn't for a special situation, the personal soldiers guarding outside would not bother him, so he walked out of the hatch and asked, "Who is looking for me?" ”

"Dashuai, it's the captain of the dock patrol post, and he said that there is an urgent report."

Zhang Xuan nodded, walked out of the outer cabin, and came to the bow of the ship, where a captain stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and saluted, "See the marshal!" ”

"What's the urgency?"

"Marshal Qiyu, the envoys of Goguryeo came by boat, and we did not let him enter the bay and blocked their ships in the open sea."

The Goguryeo envoy that Jang Hyun had been waiting for finally came, and he seized the city of Beixu, exterminated the army of Gokaido, and pulled out Goguryeo's power in Liaodong, how could Goguryeo not move.

The war in Liaodong was raging in Jiangdu, and Zhang Xuan also guessed that Goguryeo was secretly spreading the news, and Goguryeo wanted to use the imperial court to force himself to withdraw his troops from Liaodong, but this kind of rumor spread would not make any sense, he had already written a war report to Yang Guang, the son of heaven, and met Pei Ju again, and asked Pei Ju to bring Ning Shoude back to Jiangdu, and made these preparations, a little rumor could not threaten him, but he had to pay the price of spreading rumors in Goguryeo.

Zhang Xuan immediately ordered: "Goguryeo ships are not allowed to enter the port, let them go to the Yellow River wharf to go ashore!" (To be continued.) )
