Chapter 427: The Emperor's Tears

Speaking of the general of the imperial court's left imperial guard, Xue Shixiong, the general guard of Zhuo County, ambushed in the Juma River, and fought a bloody battle for a day and a night, but the retreat was blocked, and more than 20,000 people were killed and almost completely wiped out. Jia'er was puzzled, why the intelligence said that Dou Jiande sent someone to set up an ambush, but Li Xian and Ye Huaisleeve both said that it would definitely not be him.

Although Jia'er is clear and sensitive, she naturally doesn't understand the intrigues in the court.

Ye Huaisleeve asked: "If the imperial court really appoints Dou Jiande as the governor of Zhaozhou and recognizes his status, who is the biggest threat?" Once Dou Jiande becomes a court official, then who would think that this is a knife pierced in his heart? Cut off his financial path and his future? ”

"It's Luo Yi!"

Jia'er suddenly realized, and her eyes brightened.

She thought for a while and analyzed: "If the imperial court recognizes Dou Jiande's status, then Luo Yi will no longer be able to fight the idea of those counties south of Zhuo County, he has five thousand tiger armor in his hand, and Zhuo County alone can't afford to raise it at all!" And Xue Shixiong is the general guard of Zhuo County, and he is his constraint! If the imperial court re-appoints Dou Jiande as the governor of Chaozhou, then Luo Yi will be trapped in Youzhou! ”

Li Xian glanced at Jia'er appreciatively, and said with some regret: "It's a pity, Old General Xue is still helpful to me, but he has become a pawn of Luo Yi's calculation of Dou Jiande." In any case, even if he knew that it was Luo Yi's hand, the imperial court would not admit it, since General Xue Shixiong went south, most of Zhuo County, plus part of Boling County, was occupied by Luo Yi, and he forcibly expelled the officials appointed by the imperial court and withheld the taxes of each county. ”

"Even if the imperial court knows that Luo Yi is against him, even if it knows that it can't control him, but there is no way to manage it at all, Yang Guang lives in Jiangdu, and the imperial court decree will be useless if he can't go out for a hundred miles, how can there be a way to do anything to Luo Yi? Therefore, the imperial court can only pretend to be confused, and the death of General Xue Shixiong will eventually be over. ”

Jia'er sighed and said, "The current imperial court, where is the imperial court?" Yang Guang nested in Jiangdu and didn't want to go back to the Eastern Capital at all. ”

Ye Huaisleeve smiled and said, "Yang Guang may not want to go back to the Eastern Capital, but even if he wants to go back, he can't go back at all." The passage between Jiangdu and Dongdu, whether by water or land, was blocked by various rebels, and even if the Great Sui Sailor opened the way, he could not enter the Eastern Capital. Yang Guang asked Yang Tong, the king of Yue, to sit in Luoyang, but Yang Tong didn't know how to deal with the government at all! ”

"The rights of the Eastern Capital are not in the hands of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, but in the hands of Guanglu Doctor Duan Da and Taifu Qing Yuanwendu, those two guys think that they have the power to lean towards the government and the opposition, but there are no soldiers in their hands! I also had to look at Qu Tongtu's face and act, speaking of which, if Qu Tongtu thought, he could abolish King Yue at any time now. What's more, after the general slapped Yang Guang a few times ago, Yang Guang can also be regarded as a long and wise man, and the general of the Navy Division who trained troops in Donglai was transferred to Jiangdu, I just didn't expect that Laihu'er really went. ”

Li Xian smiled and said, "You think he is a loyal monarch?" ”

Ye Huaichong shook his head and said: "He is the same as Qu Tongtu, if he is really loyal, a few months ago, Yang Guang ordered the two of them to attack our Yanyun Village, how could the two of them unanimously refuse to admit that they had received the holy decree?" Qu Tong suddenly wanted to secede the eastern capital and stand on his own, but he was afraid of being scolded to death by the world. Isn't it the same for Laihu'er? He was ordered to go to Jiangdu, but he was afraid that he would not have a good heart at all, but he planned to divide Jiangnan with greater ambitions. ”

"Lai Hu'er thinks that now that he has gone to Jiangdu, Yang Guang must rely on him, and if he can't do without him, he can learn from Cao Mengde's way of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. But he forgot that there was still a Yuwen Shu in Jiangdu! ”

Li Xian smiled and said, "Come to Hu'er and Yuwen Shudou, when have you ever won?" ”

Jia'er blinked, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "But isn't Yuwenshu seriously ill and bedridden?" When his eldest son Yu Wenhua and his third son Yu Wenzhi were trapped in Yanmen, they actually sold the military rations in the city to the Turks, and planned to let the Turks enter Yanmen Pass. The Yuwen family is now a Yuwen scholar and has military power in his hands...... Ke Yu Wenshi and still in our Yanyun Village! ”

"Yu Wenshi is just an outsider!"

Li Xian smiled and said, "Do you think he really sincerely took refuge in me?" It's just Yuwenshu's old fox's calculations. Yu Wenshi and outside, not subject to the king's order, in the future, if the Yuwen family does anything in Jiangdu, Yu Wenshi and is a reinforcement! You must not think that Yuwen Shu became an idiot when he was sick, that old fox, even if his body was rotten, as long as his head was still there, he could come up with countless evil ideas. ”

"Huh?"

"Since you know that Yuwen Shi and he didn't really come to take refuge, why did you keep him? In case the Yuwen family rebelled in Jiangdu in the future, wouldn't he have to wave his troops in response? This person stayed in our Yanyun Village, it's just ...... It's a big scourge! ”

Jia'er clenched her fists and said.

"Not necessarily!"

Ye Huaichong smiled and said: "If Yuwen Shiji is a smart person, the choice is in his hands, if he thinks that the Yuwen family can succeed, I can't say that he will really betray Yanyun Village in the future." But if he couldn't see the hope of the Yuwen family, how could he still do what Yuwen Shu told him? ”

"What does Miss mean that Yuwen Shi will not listen to his father Yuwen?"

"The greatest advantage of Yuwen Shi and this person is that he sees the overall situation very clearly and thoroughly. He is like a Qingfeng sword, the sword has two edges, and if it is used well, it is a sharp weapon for killing, and if it is not used well, it will stab his hand. As for whether I can use him well...... This will become clear in the future. ”

Li Xian said with a smile.

"But the Yuwen family has no power in Jiangdu now, what else can the Yuwen family fight for?"

"Power?"

Li Xian smiled and said lightly: "Look at it, there is an old fox Yuwen Shu who has not been able to live for a few days lying on the sickbed in Jiangdu Yuwen Mansion, if he doesn't make some waves in Jiangdu before he dies, won't he be in vain in this life?" Don't forget, Yang Guangneng ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, and he made great contributions! ”

Jia'er looked at Li Xian's indifferent face, and thought in her heart, what Miss said was right...... This man is really good, so good that he needs to follow him closely and run after him, otherwise...... Sooner or later, he will be left on the road, and his back will never be seen again.

Thinking of this, Jia'er secretly swore in her heart, and her fair and slender little hands were quietly clenched, as if she was cheering herself on.

……

……

Jiangdu

Emperor Yang Guang was infected with a cold a while ago, and the imperial doctor prescribed a prescription for conditioning, one of which was wild ginseng from Liaodong. But the embarrassing thing is that in the Jiangdu Palace, not to mention Liaodong ginseng, there is not even a single ginseng. I don't know how long it has been, and the taxes and tributes from Liaodong have not been sent to Jiangdu.

It's not a big deal, but it's a great shame for an emperor. It is said that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, but in his own country, the emperor is sick and needs Liaodong ginseng soup to recuperate, and he can't eat it if he wants to, what is more poignant than this?

The imperial doctor didn't dare to hide this matter, and found Pei Ju and Yu Shiji, the two big men who were in Jiangdu and controlled the government and government, and later Pei Ju remembered that when Luo Yi sent someone to send a secret letter to report Li Yuan's intention to rebel a while ago, he sent someone to send a basket, and he didn't care much about it, so he should still be able to find it.

He hurriedly returned to his house, rummaged through, and finally found a small half basket, and as for where most of them went, he didn't bother to investigate.

Gave the rest of the Liaodong ginseng to the imperial doctor, Pei Ju wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart that he could finally prevaricate the past again, otherwise His Majesty asked, wouldn't the peace of the world that he had whitewashed leaked.

After the ginseng soup was boiled, it was sent to Yang Guang's bedroom, Empress Xiao looked at the emperor who was lying on the bed and took a nap and shook her head slightly, and the palace maid put down the ginseng soup and then withdrew.

Empress Xiao sat down on the edge of the bed with ginseng soup, looked at her husband who was sleeping with his face facing inside, and suddenly felt a little sad in her heart, how could she not know that there must be no Liaodong ginseng in the palace. But since this ginseng soup was delivered, she didn't want to care about anything else. Until now, the only thing she wants is to live in Jiangdu with the emperor in peace, no one will bother, and no one will ever bother.

"Your Majesty, drink the ginseng soup first and then go to sleep, right?"

Empress Xiao asked softly.

Yang Guang turned over and took the opportunity to wipe away a few old tears from the corners of his eyes. He didn't fall asleep at all, and he didn't know how to think of the scene when he was in the first Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, on the bank of Liaoshui, he stood on a high platform, wearing gold armor, and spoke loudly in front of tens of thousands of elite soldiers. I remembered that I pointed to the east of Liaoshui and asked, where is the place. The 30,000 elite soldiers who were inspected by him chanted neatly and neatly chanted that it was Liaodong!

Yang Guang asked again: "I want to take Liaodong back, what are you going to do!" ”

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

The morale-like shouts floated back and forth in Yang Guang's mind, and they never dispersed for a long time.

He remembered again that in the first battle of the Liao conquest, the big boss of the Zuotun Guard, Mai Tiecane, was trapped on the east bank of the Liaoshui River, and the old general with white hair was holding an iron rod and fearlessly led hundreds of Zuotun Guard soldiers to attack the tens of thousands of troops of Goguryeo.

"Zuo Tunwei"

"Onward!"

The bloody scene clearly appeared in Yang Guang's mind, when the wheat iron rod was stabbed to death by the Goguryeo spear, before he died, he struggled to turn around to face the high platform where he was on the west bank of Liaoshui, and knelt down and kowtowed.

My good son, my good general!

Yang Guang wept and wet the pillow towel.

He quietly wiped away his tears, sat up and smiled at Empress Xiao, and then shook his head to signal that he didn't need her to feed him: "I'm not old enough to even hold a bowl, if that day comes, you can feed me again." ”

Empress Xiao smiled and lowered her head, hiding the sadness in her eyes.

Yang Guang took a sip of ginseng soup, and his face suddenly changed.

"Liaodong ginseng?"

He sat up straight suddenly, and asked with a look of ecstasy: "I sent Xue Shixiong to guard Zhuo County, could it be that he has already opened up Yuyang County?" I am so happy to have recovered Liaoxi! ”

"Your Majesty......"

Empress Xiao opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't explain anything.

"Quickly pass Pei Ju into the palace, I want to ask, how Xue Shixiong won, Yuyang County is opened, I will be able to go east for the fourth time next year, and Goguryeo will be destroyed this time! Gao Yuan clown, I want to see how I can stop my millions of male soldiers! ”

Empress Xiao's nose was sour, and she really couldn't bear to deceive Yang Guang: "Your Majesty...... Yesterday, Master Pei Ju presented a fold ......"

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly became extremely ugly: "Yes...... Xue Shixiong was lost in the battle of the Juma River, and my Zuo Yuwei general was actually killed by the grass coward of Dou Jiande in Hebei. ”

Muttering a word, Yang Guang's face suddenly changed again, he stood up, looked at the bowl of ginseng soup in his hand, and the anger in his eyes became more and more intense, so strong that it could not be dissolved.

With a snap, he actually threw the ginseng soup to the ground, the bowl was shattered, and the ginseng soup splashed everywhere.

"Luo Yi!"

"This Liaodong ginseng was not sent by Luo Yi! This anti-thief! How did I treat him, he did such a rebellious thing, did you think that I was so easy to deceive as a three-year-old child? Dou Jiande, a fool only believes that it was Dou Jiande who killed Xue Shixiong! Come on, come on! Take my golden armor! I want to conquer Youzhou in person! I...... I'm going to kill Luo Yi! I'm going to kill him......"

The sound of the emperor's roar became smaller and smaller, and tears fell to the ground with tears down his cheeks, the sound was extremely light, but it hit the hearts of everyone present like a hammer, and the person who knocked was suffocated, and it was difficult to calm down.
