■In the study, Li Yuan's face was so angry that his face turned blue, he tore Li Jing's letter to shreds, and slammed it on the ground, he walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he stopped and said to himself, "I'm really dizzy, I actually went to seek skin with the tiger!" ”

Standing next to him were his two sons, the eldest son Jiancheng and the second son Shimin, Li Shimin bit his lip and stepped forward and said, "Father, since he has no intention, the child does not want to learn from him."

"I just heard that he was talented for a long time and wanted to win him over, but I didn't expect him to be Yang Yuanqing's person!" Li Yuan sighed hatefully.

At this time, Li Jiancheng said: "Father, in fact, it can be imagined that Li Jing was originally one of the three subordinates brought by Yang Yuanqing, and he was Yang Su's staff, and his father wanted to win him over, but the child also felt that it was unrealistic." ”

Li Shimin stopped talking, he thought relatively simply, he just wanted to learn the art of war from Li Jing, but his father actually wanted to use his apprentice to win over Li Jing, and finally failed, which made him regret it in his heart.

Li Yuan didn't want his second son to intervene too much, so he waved his hand, "Shimin, you go first!" ”

"Yes! The child quits.

Li Shimin retreated, and just walked out the door, he met his father's staff samurai.

Although Li Yuan did not serve as a chief official such as Shangshu and Siqing, after all, he has a prominent family background, and has been in charge of the local government for many years, and has also made a lot of talented people.

In addition to Wen Yanbo, Li Yuan also brought a staff member, called the samurai, the samurai was originally the Han King Yang Liang's subordinates, because he was implicated in the Han King rebellion and dismissed from his post to go home, he succeeded in business, became a timber merchant in Taiyuan Li Yuan had a lot of contact with him when he repaired the Fenyang Palace, and admired his insight and talent, and the samurai also intended to make a comeback, he saw that Li Yuan looked strange and ambitious, so he resolutely became Li Yuan's staff and pressed the capital on Li Yuan's body.

"See Uncle Wu Shi!" Li Shimin hurriedly saluted the samurai.

The samurai was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, tall and long, with an elegant appearance, and it was absolutely impossible to see from his appearance that he was a businessman, let alone that he could lead troops to fight.

"Is your father here?"

"Uncle Shi, my father is in the study."

The samurai also liked Li Shimin, he knew that Li Shimin liked to read, but his father was very strict and refused to give him money to buy books, he took out a pearl from his arms and quietly stuffed it to Li Shimin and said with a smile: "Go and exchange it for two hundred hanging money, and then you can buy books." ”

Li Shimin hesitated, but the warrior pushed him, "Go!" ”

"Thank you, Uncle Shi!"

Li Shimin saluted, turned around and left, the warrior looked at Li Shimin's back and smiled, feeling that Li Yuan's second son was more worthy of his capital than the eldest son. *.

The samurai knocked on the study door, "Envoy, it's me!" ”

"Please come in!"

The warrior walked into the study and saw that the shredded paper on the ground, like a letter, had been torn apart by Li Yuansheng's anger, so he smiled slightly: "Why is the envoy angry? ”

Li Yuan sighed, "Sir, please sit down first!" ”

The warrior sat down, and Li Yuan told him what happened today, and he smiled bitterly: "In the past few months, I have cooperated happily with Yang Yuanqing, and I have forgotten the secret battle in the past, so that today I conspired with the tiger, but Li Jing decisively rejected me." ”

The warrior frowned, and a kind of businessman's unique sensitivity told him that there was a problem here, Li Jing was obviously a strange thing, and Yang Yuanqing was doing with the strange goods in his hands? Unless he also wants to do big business.

The warrior said cautiously: "Have you ever thought about it, in fact, Yang Yuanqing also has ambitions. ”

"You mean ....."

Li Yuan had some reminiscence, "He wants to support the army and stand on his own?" ”

"I can't say this for sure, but I think that after the defeat of the Goryeo army, people in his position will have ambitions, and they will know from his control of the Youzhou army, under the pretext of suppressing bandits, and firmly controlling the Youzhou army in their hands."

Li Yuan had never considered the possibility of Yang Yuanqing's rebellion, but the warrior's words made him feel as if he had woken up from a dream, and he gasped, if Yang Yuanqing really had the heart to rebel, then wouldn't it be extremely dangerous for him to be in Zhuo County?

Li Jiancheng next to him seemed to understand his father's worries, he smiled slightly: "Father doesn't have to worry too much, I think Yang Yuanqing will not be in such a hurry to raise troops even if he has the heart of rebellion, the current conditions are not ripe, and Yang Yuanqing will enter Beijing tomorrow." ”

Li Yuan calmed his heart, thinking that this was indeed the case, Youzhou still had 100,000 troops loyal to Yang Guang, even if Yang Yuanqing had the heart to rebel, it would be difficult for him to act at this time.

Referring to Yang Yuanqing's entry into Beijing, Li Yuan remembered something, and he immediately ordered Jiancheng, "Go and tell your three brothers that you will ride back to Beijing tomorrow, and you don't have to go with Yang Yuanqing." ”

Li Jiancheng agreed and walked out of the study, but the warrior smiled and said, "Envoy, why bother? He is the governor of a state anyway, and his identity is there, and he will never have a small heart. ”

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Walking with a tiger is always dangerous, I'd better be careful." ”

When the two said this, Li Jiancheng came in again, "Father, there is a messenger in the capital, it's my uncle's family!" ”

Li Yuan's spirits perked up, and the Dugu family sent a letter to him, and he hurriedly said, "Let the messenger come in!" ”

After a while, Li Jiancheng led a young man in, whom Li Yuan knew, and was one of Dugu Zhen's henchmen.

When the young man came in, he bowed and said, "See Li Yuanjun!" ”

Li Yuan nodded, "Did the head of the family ask you to deliver the letter?" ”

"Yes!"

The young man took out a letter and presented it to Li Yuan, who took the letter and asked, "Is there any other message?" ”

"Envoy to the king, there is no message, all the content is in the letter."

"It's been a hard journey."

Li Yuan ordered to be built, "Reward him with a hundred hanging money!" ”

"Thank you!"

The young man was led down by Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside, he read it in detail, his eyes showed a trace of excitement and nervousness.

The warrior saw Li Yuan's nervousness, and after he finished reading the letter, he asked, "Envoy, what happened?" ”

Li Yuan didn't seem to have recovered from the contents of the letter, and he sighed and said, "The head of the Dugu family asked me to collect Yuan Honghe's guilt as soon as possible and impeach him!" ”

Dongping County Zhiyuncheng County is close to Junoze, which is a large lake with thousands of sparkling acres, accounting for more than 20% of the area of Dongping County, and it is this large lake that gives the people of Dongping County rich resources, so that compared with several nearby counties, the people of Dongping County are relatively stable, and there are no large-scale rebellion bandits.

Despite this, there were still two rebel bandits in Liangshan to the north of Juyeze, one of the rebel bandits leader was named Zhang Jing, who was said to have split from Wagangzhai and gathered more than 10,000 people from Jibei County, occupied Liangshan as a coward, and called himself the general of Dongping, and the leader of the other rebel bandits was called Wang Youdang, no one knew his origin, he was smaller, and gathered thousands of people.

Fortunately, these two rebel rebels did not plunder the surrounding counties on a large scale, they opened up wasteland near Juyeze and cast nets to fish, so that the people of Dongping County did not feel threatened by them, on the contrary, Han Jinluo, the leader of the bandits from Jibei County, and Meng Haigong, the leader of the bandits from Jiyin County, often attacked Dongping County and plundered, which made the people of Dongping County miserable.

On this morning, a group of more than 2,000 county soldiers returned from training outside the city under the leadership of Lieutenant Yang Jishan.

"I heard that this is Yang Taishou's newly recruited 2,000 soldiers, so that there are 8,000 soldiers in Dongping County."

"I really don't understand, what is Yang Taishou recruiting so many county soldiers for?"

"You're a stupid person, of course you're trying to exterminate the bandits, but doesn't he want to rebel?"

"That maybe, they are all rebelling now, there are in every county, and it is normal for Yang Taishou to rebel."

"Whoever rebels! Some of the food is fine. ”

"Alas! Thanks to the food in our county, I heard that there was a tragic phenomenon of cannibalism in Jiyin County, and I also heard that Meng Haigong caught the scholar and cut off the meat for the soldiers to eat. ”

"Don't talk about these things!"

At this time, two officials came from afar and shouted, "What are you doing together?" Don't disperse yet. ”

Several old men suddenly remembered Yang Taishou's order half a month ago, more than four people are not allowed to gather in public places, and violators will be punished as rebellion, they are exactly four people, and several old men are frightened and quickly disperse.

Calm regained on the street, two thousand troops rushed back to the barracks, and Yang Jishan went directly to the county office.

It is now the middle of October, and in two months, he will leave for Beijing to report on his work, but he usually has to send the report to Beijing one month in advance.

Yang Xuangan has been the Taishou of Dongping County for nearly a year, except for the slight decline in status than before, he is very satisfied with other aspects, especially the emperor and the important ministers of the court have been far away in Zhuo County and Liaodong for nearly a year, and the control of the local area has greatly declined, almost no one cares about him, because the status difference is too great, the subordinate officials under his rule are in awe of him, and dare not have the slightest doubt about his words, making him the emperor of Dongping County.

Since the beginning of this year, the counties have continued to rebel on a large scale, so that the imperial court has been anxious, especially in Henan, only the scale of Wagangzhai in Dongjun has reached more than 100,000 people, and the county officials of Dongjun County have cowered in the city, not daring to go out a step, he asked for additional county soldiers three times, and the military department approved it three times, which really made him overjoyed.

At this time, the voice of his brother Yang Jishan sounded outside the door, "Big brother, I'm back!" ”

"Come in!"

Yang Jishan walked into the house, closed the door casually, bowed down and said, "Big brother, there is new news from Xuan Jing's side." ”

Yang Xuan asked excitedly, "What's the news?" ”

Yang Xuanjing is Zhang Jing who gathered people to rebel in Liangshan, he was ordered by Yang Xuangan to occupy the mountain in Liangshan as the king, and raised more than 12,000 people, and another mountain king Wang Youdang, is the pseudonym of Wang Bodang, he was ordered by Li Mi to raise more than 5,000 people, these are Yang Xuangan's secret reserves.

Yang Jishan bowed down and said: "Xuan Jing said that in the past two months, three thousand more people have come to defect, and he said that there are more and more people, and he is a little overwhelmed." ”

"This unproductive guy, with only 15,000 people, can't he bear it? How do you manage tens of thousands of people when others move? ”

Yang Xuangan scolded and asked, "What else is the news?" ”

"There is also a rebellion of Guo Fangqian in Beihai County, calling himself Lu Gong, with 30,000 people, and Sun Xuanya of Bohai County rebelling, gathering 100,000 people, and proclaiming himself the king of Qi."

Yang Xuangan immediately stood up and walked to the wall, on the wall is a map of Dasui County, he used a small blue flag to paste in Beihai County, which means that more than 10,000 people rebelled, and took a small red flag and pasted it in Bohai County, this is a rebellion of more than 50,000 people, and less than 10,000 people are yellow small flags, looking at the dense rebellion flags in Shandong, Henan, and Hebei, Yang Xuangan squinted his eyes and laughed, his time was gradually ripe.
