Chapter 60: Key Figures

The East Palace Xiande Palace, here is the place where Li Jiancheng of Tai Yan Zi deals with government affairs and meets with ministers, since Li Yuan announced that he will hand over the power of government affairs to Tai Yan Zi Jiande, the Xiande Hall has quickly begun to be arranged, mainly to increase the seats, and to plan the step line.

In the main hall, several palace supervisors and officials of the Ministry of Rites are busy directing dozens of eunuchs to arrange everything needed for the court meeting, and His Royal Highness the Emperor will be here tomorrow morning to listen to the government.

Outside the main hall, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the East Palace Pavilion in a sparkling light, and Yang Jun, the princess, hurriedly walked into the Guangchang of the Xiande Palace, and walked quickly to the palace.

In the study of Tai Yanzi in the side hall, Li Jiancheng of Tai Yanzi has returned, and he is standing in front of a wall with his hands behind his back, staring at the map of the Tang Wanli rivers and mountains on the wall.

This is a map of the Tang Dynasty, originally marked with several colors, representing various forces, but at this time, there are more and more red colors, and less and less white, Dou Jiande's black and Li Mi's blue have disappeared, Du Fuwei's dark purple and Xiao Mi's light green have also disappeared, and only a large area of red and a small piece of white are left on the whole map.

White is the color of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng looked at this small piece of white helplessly, it has been surrounded by the crimson color of the Sui Dynasty, only Guanzhong, the south of Guannei, the five counties of Longxi and Bashu, Li Jiancheng sighed, and lifted a red pen to dye half of Bashu red.

The intelligence of Bashu was not good, the Sui army was in charge of both military and political affairs, not only defeated the Tang army in Badong County, but also the counties and counties surrendered to the wind, betrayed the Tang Dynasty one after another, and were loyal to the Sui Dynasty, and now the Tang army also controls the north of Shu County, and the south of Shu County has become the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

Whether or not the Bashu region can be kept is the key to the battle in Chengdu, and whether or not Chengdu can be defended, Li Jiancheng is also full of worries.

At this time, the voice of the eunuch came from the door, "Your Highness, Yang Xima is waiting outside the palace, saying that there is something important to report to His Highness." ”

"Let him in!"

Li Jiancheng put down the red pen and returned to his seat to sit down, and after a while, Yang Jun hurriedly walked into the study of Tai Yanzi and bowed down to give a salute, "See His Royal Highness Tai Yanzi." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Back to Your Highness, Yin Guiping came to my Weichen just now, and I have something to report to Your Highness."

Li Jiancheng frowned, "Just say it directly, don't swallow and spit out." ”

"Yes!"

Yang Jun saluted, and continued: "It was Concubine Yin De who asked her father to tell His Highness that today the King of Qin proposed to the Holy Lord to replace the chief general of Bashu and asked to withdraw the King of Qi. ”

Li Jiancheng immediately sat up straight, this is exactly what he wants to know, King Qin took him away to the end, what did he talk about with his father?

Of course, he knew that it was not for any family matter, but he didn't expect Concubine Yin De to give him the answer, and it was indeed the army of Bashu, which was not only expected by Li Jiancheng, but also made him feel very angry.

What time is it now, King Qin is still seeking military power, Li Jiancheng walked a few steps in the room with his hands behind his back, and then turned around and asked, "Did the Holy Lord agree?" ”

"I guess I agreed." Yang Jun replied in a low voice.

"Hunpo!" Li Jiancheng clenched his fists and couldn't help but speak.

Li Jiancheng finally restrained the anger in his heart and waved his hand to Yang Jun, "You go first!" I want to be quiet. ”

"Wechen retired."

Yang Jun bowed and retreated, and not long after he retreated, a eunuch reported: "Chen Xiangguo asks to see His Highness." ”

Li Jiancheng sighed, "Please let him in." ”

A thousand things came together, which gave him a headache, and more importantly, the decline of the Tang Dynasty made his heart always heavy, unable to lift his spirits, and he even suspected that his father handed over the power of government affairs to him at this time, which meant to shirk responsibility.

Chen Shuda walked quickly out of the study and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I just got a piece of news that the Holy Seal Duan Zhixuan is the head of Yizhou Xingtai, what does this mean?" ”

Li Jiancheng sneered six times, "This is the so-called family matter of King Qin, he thinks that King Qi can't hold Bashu, and asks to withdraw King Qi, but my father agreed to his request, and he didn't even ask for my opinion first." ”

Chen Shuda groaned and said, "I think this may not be a bad thing.

"Why?"

"Your Royal Highness, the Holy One is actually not confused at all, when he handed over the talisman to the King of Qin, he actually removed the four tiger talismans in the capital, which shows that the Holy One is also defensive against the King of Qin, since he promised the King of Qin to change people, he will definitely compensate His Highness, and he thinks that the Holy Lord is very likely to hand over the military power of the capital to His Royal Highness."

Li Jiancheng's brows furrowed, although Chen Shuda's analysis was very reasonable, but he always felt that it was not so simple, and he couldn't even figure out his father's thoughts now.

Chen Shuda seemed to understand Li Jiancheng's worries, he smiled slightly, and continued to explain: "Your Highness, I think that the mind of the saint is actually very simple, he wants to be stable, he put the military and political power to His Highness and the King of Qin, that is, to draw a clear line between the two of you, this boundary is an inside, an outside, His Highness is the main inside, the affairs of the capital are decided by His Highness, the King of Qin is outside, and the affairs outside the capital are decided by the King of Qin, so he will promise to change the commander of Bashu, and hand over the military power of Hanzhong to the King of Qin, which is exactly like this, At the last moment, the Holy Lord stripped off the military power to guard the capital, which was obviously to hand over the army of the capital to His Highness. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded slowly, although he didn't see through his father's thoughts, but Chen Shuda obviously saw through it, in fact, Xiao Yu also saw it, so he supported his father's military and political decentralization, or not! Datang really needs stability now, and it may not be a bad thing to replace King Qi back.

"Alright! Thank you Chen Xiangguo for your doubts, I also hope that my father will hand over the military power of the capital to me as soon as possible, there is no military power in my hands, and my heart is always unsteady. ”

Li Jiancheng sighed, in today's turbulent situation, how important military power is.

……

When Yang Jun reported the situation to the princess, it was already dusk, and the imperial court had already gone down to the court, and Yang Jun's East Palace Taiyun was originally idle, and he had nothing to do, so he also left the East Palace.

Yang Jun rode out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, and walked slowly along the Vermilion Bird Avenue, he is thirty-eight years old this year, and has been an official for more than 20 years, but he has only mixed with a Tai Yan Zi from the five grades of the idle official.

He still remembered that his grandfather had told him that he would inherit the Duke of Chu in the future, and he would be the prime minister in the court, Yuanqing would be in charge of the army, and he would be in charge of the army in the frontier.

But my grandfather didn't expect that the world was so impermanent, he didn't inherit the Duke of Chu, let alone worship the prime minister, on the contrary, Yang Yuanqing wanted to unify the world and become the king of the world, I'm afraid my grandfather couldn't have dreamed of it.

The day before yesterday, he received a letter from his mother from Taiyuan, asking him to apologize to Yang Yuanqing, and confess to his father for three years of filial piety.

This incident made Yang Jun extremely annoyed, and asked him to bow his head and confess to Yang Rong Yuanqing, he couldn't do it, his brother Yang Rong was a soft bone, maybe Yang Rong would bow his head and confess.

But he Yang Jun won't, he would rather be a flat-headed little man and spend the rest of his life quietly, and he will never lose his dignity, he will not apologize to Yang Yuan Yuan Qing since he was a child, and he will not now.

Yang Jun's mansion is in Yanpingfang next to Liren City, it is a middle house covering an area of six acres, his family is very good, his grandfather gave him a lot of property before his death, in addition to Liren City has a silk shop and rich money, he also has a manor covering an area of ten hectares in Chencang County, which was also given to him by his grandfather.

Yang Jun returned to the mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, his wife greeted him, "Husband, there are people waiting in the guest hall." ”

Yang Jun frowned, "Who is it?" ”

"It's the same Mr. Zhang who came last time."

Yang Jun was shocked, and hurriedly said to his wife: "Close the door, if a guest comes to visit, just say that I am unwell and it is inconvenient to see the guest, no matter who it is." ”

Yang Jun's wife saw that her husband looked nervous, nodded hurriedly, closed the door and went, Yang Jun walked quickly to the guest hall worriedly, walked into the hall, and saw a person with his hands behind his back, admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, he heard the footsteps, turned around and smiled: "But Yang Zhijun is back?" ”

Yang Jun slowly walked up to the guest hall and bowed his hand, "Let General Zhang wait for a long time." ”

This person's name is Zhang Gongjin, the first is also the general of the Wagang Army, is Zhai Rang's subordinates, Li Mi and Zhai Ranghuo merged, and wantonly cleaned Zhai Rang's old department, Zhang Gongjin and Wei Chigong had old friends, so they left the Wagang Army to find Yu Chigong, and was recommended to Li Shimin by Wei Chigong.

Zhang Gongjin was not only strong in martial arts, but also resourceful, won the trust of Li Shimin, was named a hussar general, and became a staff member of the King of Qin.

Not long ago, Changsun Yuanji was ordered to guard Dasanguan, and Zhang Gongjin took over Tang Feng and became Li Shimin's intelligence leader, and today Zhang Gongjin came to see Yang Jun on Li Shimin's order.

The two sat down separately, and Zhang Gongjin smiled slightly: "I heard that Yang Yuanjun's mother went to Taiyuan, why doesn't Yang Yuanjun want to go to Taiyuan to seek a future?" ”

is worthy of being the leader of Tang Feng, the news is really keen, and he actually knew that his mother secretly went to find Yang Yuyuanqing, Yang Jun sneered, "A gentleman has something, and he doesn't do anything!" ”

Zhang Gongjin nodded, "I think so, if Yang Yuanjun is a person who tends to be inflammatory, he would have gone to Taiyuan a long time ago, Yang Yuanjun is the brother of the King of Chu!" Not to mention the king of the county and the prince of the country, at least there is no problem with the prince of the county, I also heard that Yang Xuancheng and Yang Wei have both been crowned the prince of the country......

"Enough!"

Yang Jun interrupted Zhang Gongjin's words with great dissatisfaction, and said with a gloomy face: "This is my private matter, it has nothing to do with General Zhang, and it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the King of Qin, please General Zhang don't mention this matter again." ”

Zhang Gongjin was not angry at all, and still smiled and said, "How can this be Yang Yuanjun's private matter?" Yang Zhijun is the fifth official of the East Palace of the Tang Dynasty, but your mother is the first lady of the enemy dynasty, if this reaches the ears of the saint, does Yang Yuanjun think that the saint will think it is a private matter? ”

"Humph!"

Yang Jun snorted heavily, "The Holy Lord already knows about these situations, so if you go and tell the Holy Lord, I don't care." ”

"Then about Concubine Yin De and Yin Guiping, does Yang Yuanjun think that the saint will not care?" Zhang Gongjin's eyes were full of sneers.

Yang Jun seemed to have been hit by the vital point, and suddenly softened, and after a while, he sighed and said, "What do you want?" ”

"It's very simple, His Royal Highness King Qin wants to see you."
