(PS: In order to celebrate the first alliance leader in this book, and the first alliance leader since I coded the word so far, I will try my best to add it tomorrow!) Thank you, Marshal Sven, thank you! )
Yang Guang always felt that he was benevolent, and it was precisely because he was too benevolent that he had a lot of troubles, for example, Feng Xiaoci, the general of the Right Hou Wei, actually wanted to rebel! When he got the news that Feng Xiaoci was already in Fufa in the eastern capital, he had already crossed the Yellow River and entered the boundary of Zhuo County.
It's rare, Yang Guang reflected on it when he sat quietly, but after thinking about it, he didn't understand what he had done wrong. Why did so many people rebel, so many people forced him to kill.
I'm not a murderer, so why are you all forcing me to raise my butcher's knife?
In the years since I ascended the throne, how have I ever killed innocent people except Gao Ying and He Ruobi? Gao Ying is the crown prince Yang Yong's person, if you don't kill him, why should I sit on the dragon chair? Besides, when did I easily behead the important ministers of the court?
He felt innocent.
So when he looked at the civil and military officials standing under the main hall of the dragon boat, he suddenly felt endless boredom in his heart. It's been half a year, Yang Guang went to the court for the first time, and then proposed a major matter for the ministers to discuss, but after he proposed it, all the people below pretended to be deaf and dumb, and there was no one to speak. Even Pei Ju, Yu Shiji, and Pei Yun, these confidants, stood there with their heads hung and didn't say a word, as if their emperor was air!
"You don't speak?"
Yang Guang sneered twice and said: "The imperial court did not flatten Goguryeo in the two eastern crusades, I will say it again, I want to go to the east for the third time to conquer Goguryeo, what do you think?" ”
Under the court, it is still quiet and makes people angry! Everyone kept their mouths tightly shut, not even looking at others, just looking down at their toes. The civil officials did not speak, and neither did the generals. This is what Yang Guang is most angry about, those civil officials don't understand military affairs and don't intervene, but no one agrees with the generals below! The imperial court's two crusades to the east returned in vain, don't these people want to get this face back?
Yang Guang took a deep breath and then said slowly: "Last year, the Eastern Expedition could have wiped out Liaodong in one go, but it was only the rebellion that would give up halfway. Now that the traitors have been eliminated, the country has nothing else to do, the world is peaceful, the people are healthy, the grain and grass are abundant, and the military spirit is stable. You don't speak, I know why, the two crusades did cost a lot of money and food, and also lost some men and horses, but do you just look at yourself and can't see others? Goguryeo was beaten twice by me, and there is no longer the power to resist! ”
He stood up suddenly, looked at the ministers and said, "If you don't take advantage of Goguryeo's exhaustion of grain and grass to destroy it, wouldn't it be more expensive to fight after a few years when he recovers some vitality?" It is not that we are desperate to use military force and spare the people's strength, but this is the best time to destroy Goguryeo. I heard that Goguryeo has been in the treasury for two years in a row, and the granary of the treasury has almost been lost, and the clown of Gao Yuan has no money to ask for people from other clans to help him. ”
Yang Guang waved his hand and said, "You guys are talking, can this battle not be fought?" ”
"If you fight again this year, you will definitely be able to capture Gao Yuan clown, collect all the land in Liaodong, expand the territory for my Great Sui again, and show the majesty of my Great Sui army!"
He finished excitedly, and then his gaze swept over the courtiers below.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Finally, under the pressure of his gaze, it was impossible for Yu Shiji to pretend to be stupid, so he could only be the first to stand up and bow down and say: "The minister also feels that Gao Yuan's clown's qi is exhausted, and the attack is at the right time." ”
"Your Majesty......"
Pei Ju took a step forward and bowed his head and said: "It is imperative to conquer Goguryeo, but the rear cannot ignore it. The minister felt that especially in Henan and Hexi, there were many unruly people among the people, and important ministers should be sent to pacify them. ”
Yang Guang pondered for a while and said: "What Aiqing said is very good, there is Zhang Xutuo south of the Yellow River, and Yang Yichen is north of the Yellow River, both of them are good generals, there is no need to worry, but the land west of the river should indeed send a capable person over, you discuss it, see who is appropriate?" ”
Pei Ju looked around and saw that no one answered, and the corners of his mouth twitched, remembering the big gift he received a few days ago.
"The minister recommends Tang Gong Li Yuan!"
Pei Ju bowed.
Yang Guang was slightly stunned, his brows furrowed, but he was quickly relieved: "Li Yuan has done his best to supervise grain in Huaiyuan Town these two times, with thousands of horsepower to keep grain and grass safe, he is conscientious and cautious, but he is indeed a suitable candidate, what do you think?" ”
Yu Shiji took a step forward and said: "The land west of the river really needs an old and serious person to calm down, and the minister seconded it. ”
Both of them agreed, and there was no reason to disapprove of the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty, so everyone echoed them, saying that Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty, was the right person. Yang Guang nodded and said: "Then that's it, the intention is that Li Yuan is the Xuanfu envoy of Hexi Province, and Taiyuan stays behind, but he will leave after the grain and grass to Liaoxi are ready, after all, he is familiar with the affairs of Huaiyuan Town." ”
"Yes!"
"Spread my will, the military horses of all prefectures will start from the garrison after the fifteenth day of the first month, and they will march in a hundred ways, and they must gather in Zhuo County in early March!"
"I! We want to cut down Liaodong again! ”
……
…
Feng Xiaoci, the general of the right guard, fell to the ground and wept after receiving the holy decree, and his sadness even moved the eunuchs who announced the decree. He begged Qin Cha to allow him two more days, and he would be able to exterminate the thieves in Yanyunzhai to prove his innocence. But how dare the eunuch who pronounced the decree give him time? Feng Xiaoci's death penalty had already been decided, and he was a small eunuch who did not have the courage to do such a thing. Moreover, even if Feng Xiaoci really did not collude with the thieves, he could really raze Yanyunzhai to the ground in two days, but who did he talk to? His Majesty had already set off for Zhuo County, and the intention was to send him to Luoyang, the eastern capital, for trial, and from the beginning, His Majesty did not give him a chance to prove his innocence.
The right guard soldiers who had arrived outside Juye Ze retreated with resentment and regret, and took Cui Zhi as the general of the right guard for the time being, and led the army to Zhuo County. And the old general Feng Xiaoci, who had already turned white, was tied up in a flail and escorted to the Eastern Capital, which was desolate and difficult for those present to understand.
Wu Xingzhi, the county guard of Dongping County, often sighed after learning the news that Feng Xiaoci was escorted back to the Eastern Capital, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, it's a pity, a generation of famous generals actually became thieves? ”
Zhang Sanheng, the county prince, said solemnly: "Even if he is a general of the extremely human minister, what can he do? It is not a pity to die for doing such a sorry thing for Your Majesty! ”
The two of them looked at each other, and then they all began to feel sorry for the food allocated to the right guard. Because I don't know if the twists and turns will be useful, the food supplied by Dongping County to the right guard has never been broken. Wu Xingzhi and Zhang Sanheng are not stupid, so they will not have a bad relationship with Feng Xiaoci when things are not clear. What they didn't expect was that the so-called autographed letter from Master Pei Ju was actually fake at all. What Pei Ju didn't expect was that he wanted to give Feng Xiaoci some colors to see, and someone sent incriminating evidence.
When Pei Ju saw the joint performance of Wu Xingzhi and Zhang Sanheng, his eyes immediately lit up.
Ten years of great cause has come like this, in the eyes of many people sad and vast, and more people are numb and don't even feel that the New Year is something to be happy about, the people are poor, and the New Year is actually meaningless. However, the tens of thousands of people in Juye Zeyanyun Village have had a very happy year, because the right guards have retreated, and they are not short of food, wine, strong soldiers and horses, and there are also, although the warships required by the navy have not yet been built, they have begun to take shape.
All this is something to be happy about.
Therefore, the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month and the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve lasted for two consecutive days, and almost everyone except for the generals and soldiers on duty was drunk.
In the early morning of the thirtieth day, before the sun appeared, Li Xian asked people to prepare paper money, spirits, incense and candles, and he walked slowly to the back mountain alone with a basket full of things. Because it was still early, he didn't want to alarm anyone, and he didn't want his emotions to affect the joy of others.
It was only when he walked up the back mountain path that he found two people standing in front of him in the faint morning light.
Two women.
Ye Huaisleeve and Ou Siqingqing, both of them carried a basket in their hands, which was also filled with things like incense, candles, paper money, etc.
"Why are you two here?"
Li Xian asked in surprise.
"Sister Ye knew that you were going up the mountain, so she asked me to wait for you here."
Ou Siqingqing smiled and said.
Li Xian looked at Ye Huaisleeve, who nodded slightly, combed the hair in front of his forehead and turned around silently, and they followed Li Xian all the way to the back mountain. After arriving at the place, Li Xian stopped, and then began to do things meticulously. There are more than 100 graves here, and more than 100 dead brothers and old friends lie inside.
Ou Siqingqing and Ye Huaisleeve helped Li Xian place a wine glass in front of each tomb bag, and then filled it with wine. Meticulous, no one is left behind.
"Brothers."
After doing all this, Li Xian stood in front of the grave, clenched his fists, and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, you guys!" I'm here to give you red envelopes, but don't worry, everyone has wine, and everyone has money, I'll come one by one. ”
He began to burn paper one by one in front of the grave, talking as he burned it. He had a lot to say, but the words that were spoken in front of each grave bag were almost different. So the process was long, and it wasn't until the sun was about to rise in the middle that Li Xian spoke to everyone, burned the paper, and toasted.
Ye Huaisleeve looked at Li Xian, and his heart was inexplicably shocked.
She guessed that Li Xian would definitely go up the mountain to burn paper for the people of the Blood Horse and the Iron Floating Massacre, but she didn't expect that he would remember everyone's name. A different kind of emotion spread in her heart, her eyes became a little astringent, and her nose was sour.
"Brother Niu, did you find your mother-in-law...... You're so ugly, you'll be prettier in your next life, just like ......me."
"Brother Thirteen, tell you secretly, the most money you will burn is because your gambling skills are even worse, from the age of three to the age of thirteen, you have not won me, save a little, don't lose."
"Little Brother Jiu, I'm sorry...... Sewn your head crookedly, I don't know if you have adapted to it in the past few years? ”
"I'm Anzhi, I'm a little idle, I'm ...... I have come to greet you for the New Year. ”
"Actually, it's all my fault, if it weren't for the fact that I was too weak at the time, if I wasn't too reckless, you might be drinking in a big bowl in the cottage in front of you now, instead of falling asleep here."
Ye Huaisleeve walked over and held his hand, and Ou Siqingqing walked over and held his other hand.
Two women accompanied him, drank and talked nonsense.
