The night of tragic tearing finally passed, and a round of red sun hung high in the sky over Yanmen. Under this round of red sun, the mountains are the Hengshan Mountains in the east of the river, and between the undulating mountains, there are bursts of black smoke everywhere, and beacons are everywhere.

The Great Sui Emperor of Feiyun Temple in Yanmen City was temporarily there, and Yang Guang's eyes were dim, but he revealed his determination.

"I don't want to make peace with Chen Pojun, I'm just solving the crisis in front of my eyes."

Pei Shiju also shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, although Linyu Pass is critical, General Li Jing has been stationed at the border pass for many years and has rich experience in the battlefield, so he will definitely be able to hold on for a while." Moreover, General Xue Shixiong's 100,000 army will not be long before it arrives at Yanmen. The imperial court must not take the initiative to show weakness, otherwise Chen Kefu will definitely know the current crisis of the imperial court, and he is afraid that he will attack more violently when the time comes. ”

Yang Guang gritted his teeth and said, "What Qing said is only the best situation, but what I see is that Linyu Pass can no longer be defended." Needless to say, letting the princess go to Liaodong is the last thing I can do for Izumo. Sixteen years ago, Izumo's mother saved me with her life, and sixteen years later, Izumo blocked another arrow for me. If it weren't for Izumo blocking this arrow for me, I might have met with an accident. ”

After a while, the princess was carried in by several palace maids on a wheelbed, Yang Guang raised his body, stroked Izumo's hand and said, "I have thought about it, since you have already chosen your own destination, I will no longer stop you." You go back and pack up, and in the next day or two, I will find an opportunity to have someone escort you to Liaodong. ”

Princess Izumo looked at her father in shock, she didn't expect that her father would call her over for such a thing.

Coughing lightly, Yang Guang said with a hint of loss, "You are going to Liaodong, my father only has one thing I hope you can help with." ”

"Father, please say, as long as the sons can do it, the sons will definitely do it." The princess didn't know how to express her excitement for a while, and the happiness came so suddenly that she was a little overwhelmed.

Yang Guang had already hidden the majesty of the Son of Heaven on his body at this time, as if he was looking at his daughter like a seriously ill and kind old father, "I was taken captive in Nanyang Palace that day, and my father knew that it must have been Chen Pojun who brought the wrong person when he came to take you away. Thinking that Nanyang is also a hard-working person, she married a husband who is not what she likes, she is bent on honoring her elders, husband and children, but she doesn't want to encounter this disaster, and she still doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. After you go to Liaodong, I hope you can ask Chen Pojun to send your sister back and tell Chen Pojun that there is still a six-year-old child waiting for her mother in the Yuwen family. ”

The princess nodded, and she also knew in her heart that Princess Nanyang must be in the hands of the Liaodong Army.

After explaining this, Yang Guang sighed and patted the back of the princess's hand, "You go back to recuperate first." "It's really going to leave her father and queen mother, and the princess's heart can't be controlled anymore, and she cries softly. Emperor Xiao also comforted the princess a few words and asked the palace maid to carry the princess back to the room to rest.

Seeing that the princess was about to be carried out of the room, Yang Guang suddenly said, "Ji'er, when you see Chen Pojun, help me pass a word to him." Tell him that he rebelled in Liaodong, and I was not angry. My Yang family destroyed his Southern Chen Dynasty, and his rebellion today is just common sense. But you tell him that the brother is against the wall, and he is insulted from the outside. The competition between his Chen family and my Yang family for the Central Plains is nothing more than a struggle for power in the world. But I don't want him to be involved in the battle of Yanmen at this time, the steppe Turks are not my race, and their hearts will be different. If Chen Pojun allies with the Turks this time and deals with the imperial court, then he will regret it one day. If he helped the Turks this time, then the Wuhu Rebellion at the end of the Jin Dynasty would once again sweep the Central Plains, and then all the sons and daughters of the Chinese Han family in the Central Plains would be turned into slaves, two-legged sheep, and even extinction of the country. ”

Speaking of excitement, Yang Guang coughed loudly, spit out several mouthfuls of blood from his mouth, and especially shouted, "He wants to compete with me for the world, and I will give him a chance to be upright, but I don't want him to become a sinner of my Chinese Han people." Tell him that I don't want to despise him one day, even if he fails, he has to be a dignified man, worthy of heaven and earth. ”

Emperor Xiao and the princess both cried into tears, when did they see the emperor say these words. As Yang Guang's closest people, they all understand what this man has done desperately over the years, but listening to the emperor's words at this time, he is already explaining his ideals. It was as if he had regarded Chen Kefu as his successor and wanted to pass on his ideal of a strong Chinese Han people to him. At this moment, Yang Guang is no longer the invincible and intimidating Emperor of the Great Sui, just an old man who is arranging things behind him. …,

After waiting for a long time, Empress Xiao and the princess left the room with the support of the palace maids.

"I want to issue an edict, and the internal history makes Yu Shiji record the proposed edict," Yang Guang lay on the couch a little weakly.

Yu Shiji hurriedly took pen, ink and paper, and sat on the side to prepare to draft the edict.

Yang Guang opened his eyes and looked at the beams of the room, and said calmly, "I am rich in the world, wide and wide, when I was young, I was the generalissimo of the 500,000 army and horses, and led the troops to pacify the south of the Yangtze River and destroy the Southern Chen Dynasty. After succeeding to the throne, he fought in the south and the north, and toured the east and west, and established great martial arts. However, there is no bare foot, and no one is perfect. Although I compare myself with the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, the Qin Emperor also had the mistake of building the Great Wall and galloping the road to over-serve the people, and the Han Wu also had many disadvantages of chaotic government in his later years. ”

After a pause, Yang Guang continued, "Chen Pojun was originally from the Southern Chen royal family, and because of the loss of morality in the Southern Dynasty, the country was destroyed and returned to the people of the Great Sui. During the three expeditions to Liaodong, Chen Pojun fought in Liaodong, made great achievements for the imperial court and the Central Plains, and was repeatedly promoted to the throne, and finally became an important minister of the imperial court. Inside, the name Shangshu is shot by the right servant, and it is the left minister of the imperial court. Outside, he is the marshal of the marching army in the north of the desert, commanding the soldiers and horses of the fifteen counties in eastern Liaodong, and is the foundation pillar of the imperial court. ”

"However, if the position is high, people will be jealous, and the weight will be framed. I didn't notice it for a while, and I was deceived by the traitorous ministers around me, without much investigation, and credulously believed Chen Ke's rebellion, which finally made Chen Pojun and more than 100,000 soldiers and millions of people in Liaodong suddenly drift overseas. However, the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board dang sees the loyal ministers. To this day, I finally believe that Chen Pojun is still a loyal courtier loyal to me, loyal to the imperial court, loyal to the Great Sui, and loyal to Huaxia. ”

"At this time, I announced to the whole world that I would restore the honor of Chen Pojun's loyal minister of the Great Sui and wash away all previous crimes. All the soldiers and people of Liaodong will return to the court from now on, and they are not to blame for the past. Now I have issued an edict to spread all over the world, Jin Chen Pojun is the apprentice of the third company, Shangshu Province Shangshu Order, and built Liaodong Province Daxingtai Shangshu Province, and appointed Chen Pojun as Liaodong Province Daxingtai Shangshu Province. And added the generalissimo of the generalissimo of the marching generalissimo of the Mobei Road march, and commanded the soldiers and horses of the fifteen counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Murowei. ”

Yu Shiqi's pen walked the dragon and snake, quickly recorded the emperor's edict, and processed and polished. But the more Yu Shiji wrote, the more his hands trembled, and even his face turned red, and he was terrified. He felt that he understood the emperor's thoughts, and said to himself in his heart that all this was just the emperor's delaying tactics, just to prevent the Liaodong rebels from taking advantage of the fire to loot.

Chen Kefu's previous position in the court was Shangshu's right servant, who participated in the government and was the generalissimo of the Mobei Provincial March. But now, the positions given to Chen Kefu by the emperor are higher than the other, and they are completely higher than the previous official position. Situ is the position of the three princes of Zhengyipin, and he is extremely respected. Shang Shuling completely surpassed the highest administrative officer on the left and right, such a position, since the establishment of the Great Sui Dynasty, only when the current emperor first ascended the throne, in order to reward Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, for his merits, he was given this position.

Yang Guang thought for a while, but then said, "Add the title of participating in the government after Shang Shuling." ”

Su Wei over there was already speechless in surprise, and Pei Yun finally couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, even if it is to temporarily appease Chen Kefu, as long as the official is restored to his original position, why do you need to add such a revered position." Wouldn't it be too much to do so? ”

With a sigh, Yang Guang said slowly, "Do you think that if it's just the official reinstatement, will Chen Kefu care?" At the moment, only by taking out the biggest chips can there be a glimmer of hope to impress him. Didn't he say that the world wanted to clear the monarch and get rid of traitors, but he always refused to rebel under a clear banner? That means he still has some scruples, and I'm going to try it now. ”

For Yang Guang, the real crisis at the moment is the situation in Yanmen. He didn't dare to block the joint attack of the Turks and Chen Pofu, and could only hope that after Chen Kefu got these conditions from him, he could hesitate for a moment or two, so that they could take the first step to repel the Turks and break the current crisis.

"Add a few, I will give Princess Izumo to marry Chen Pojun as his wife, and send the princess to Liaodong to complete the marriage on the same day. In addition, Chen Kefu was crowned as the king of Beichen County. ”

The different surname is the king, and even Su Wei, who has been pretending to be asleep, woke up. trembling and persuaded, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to be crowned a king. Entering the Three Princes and Ascending to the Book Order are all positions in the court, and there are precedents. But if you are crowned king, it is the beginning of chaos, and you must not do it. ”

Yang Guang thought for a while, "Well, cross out the one that crowns the king, and don't make it clear in the holy decree." Pei Shiju, I plan to let you take a team of elite guards to escort the princess to Liaodong the day after tomorrow. After arriving in Liaodong, you personally brought Chen Kefu's edict, and everything was announced orally. As long as Chen Kefu is willing to temporarily suspend the army, then the imperial court will make him the king of Northern Chen County, and promise that from now on he can listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, all official appointments and dismissals in Liaodong, and the money, grain and taxes can be collected by Liaodong itself. ”

Pei Shiju smiled bitterly, "Under such conditions, I only want to change his truce, but I am afraid that Chen Kefu will not agree." ”

"I naturally know that you told him that the imperial court needs him to send troops from Murowei to the Turks to flank the Turkic Shibi Khan. After the deed was completed, as long as Chen Kefu still submitted to the Great Sui and paid tribute every year, I allowed him to establish a country in Liaodong, and the imperial court would no longer conquer the land of Liaodong. ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Guang stopped talking. For the Liaodong rebels, all the chips he could take out had already been taken out. Now he only hopes that Chen Pojun's appetite will not be so big, and he hopes that after he sees these tempting conditions, he can immediately suspend his army and stay in Liaodong with peace of mind to be a king of foreign .......
