Chapter 38: The Queen's Persuasion

In the imperial study, Yang Guang was in a depressed mood and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, he never dreamed that Yang Yuanqing would resign, and the reason made him unable to refuse, which made Yang Guang feel very faceless, and he also had a trace of annoyance in his heart, if Yang Yuanqing was let go like this, it would be a pity, Yang Yuanqing was still very useful, at least in dealing with the Guanlong nobles, he and himself were the same heart.

At this time, Empress Xiao walked into the imperial study with a bowl of ginseng tea, at the door of the imperial study, Yang Zuo, the king of Yan, hid outside the door, eavesdropping on the conversation of his grandparents, it was he who went to find the imperial grandmother, and he hoped that the imperial grandmother could keep Yang Yuanqing for him.

Several eunuchs begged him to either go in or retreat, so sneakily hiding at the door, how could they explain? Yang Yan glared at a few eunuchs fiercely and ignored them.

Empress Xiao and Yang Guangcheng have been married for nearly 30 years, she knows her husband very well, and his behavior at this time shows his inner anxiety and hesitation, and she knows how to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, it's late autumn now, and standing at the window is going to catch a cold."

Empress Xiao put on a coat for Yang Guang, but Yang Guang didn't want to put it on, he took it off and put it on the royal couch, he sat down and sighed. Qi Dao: "Actually, the membrane has no grasp of Liaodong's plan. ”

Only in front of his wife would he occasionally say what he really thought in his heart, and if Yang Yuanqing resigned, he would have less of a sword to suppress the Guanlong nobles if there was a backlash.

Empress Xiao sat beside her husband and said softly: "The saint is worried about Yang Yuanqing's resignation!" ”

Yang Guang - stunned, how could the queen know? He swept his gaze and saw the figure of a young man on the ground at the door, and he understood in his heart that this little guy had actually gone to move the rescuers.

Yang Guang also pretended not to know, so he nodded and said: "Lian doesn't want him to resign, but Lian doesn't want to indulge him too much, so he is very conflicted in his heart." ”

Empress Xiao smiled slightly, "The concubine feels that Your Majesty has not seen through some things. ”

"What haven't you seen through?" Yang Guang looked at his wife strangely! Eye.

"The concubine and Yang Yuanqing's wife Pei Shi have met a few times, and talked with her a lot of concubines found that the Shandong Shi clan is intertwined, - glory and glory, - loss and loss, Pei's mother is the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, her grandmother Cui is the eldest daughter of the Qinghe Cui family, her brother is married to the daughter of Fan Yang Lu, the wife of the Pei family and the grandson of the Pei family is from the Boling Cui family, the famous family of Shandong Shi family is married to each other, the relationship is very close, and Yang Yuanqing is the son-in-law of the Pei family, and he himself belongs to the Shandong Shi clan, The concubine felt from his wife's tone that the Pei family attached great importance to Yang Yuanqing, and His Majesty only considered how Yang Yuanqing was doing, and the concubine wanted to remind His Majesty that behind him was actually the interests of the entire Shandong Shi clan. ”

As the so-called authorities are fascinated, bystanders are clear, Empress Xiao's words woke up the person in the dream, Yang Guang suddenly realized, no wonder Pei Ju took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the Western Turks, Pei Yun behaved like this, his suppression of Yang Yuanqing was actually suppressing the entire Shandong Shi clan.

Yang Guang is also an extremely clever person, as long as he figures out the matter, he can see through the cause and effect relationship behind him -- he can't sit still, and he walks back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, attacking the Guanlong nobles, and it is obviously not enough for him to rely on his own strength, he also needs to rely on other political groups, the southern group is too weak, and the Guanlong clan such as the Jingzhao Wei clan and the Du clan and the Hexi Li clan have too close relations with the Guanlong nobles, and the only thing they can use is the Shandong Shi clan, and he actually ignores that Yang Yuanqing is already a member of the Shandong Shi clan.

If Yang Yuanqing is really allowed to resign, this will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Shandong Shi clan at a critical moment, and it will be extremely unfavorable to his own plans.

At this moment, Yang Guang figured it out and made up his mind, he glanced at the shadow at the door, and deliberately sighed: "But Lian accommodated him like this, and he was too faceless, so Lian decided to let him go home for three years......"

Before the words fell, Yang Tan rushed in, knelt on the ground and begged: "I beg the emperor's grandfather to keep him, don't let the Great Sui lose the pillar again." ”

Yang Guang looked back--at Empress Xiao, and Empress Xiao smiled helplessly--down, admitting that she was invited by Yang Zuo.

Yang Guang's face was Shen, and he asked Yang Tan: "You are the eldest grandson of Lian, why didn't you come to Lian in a dignified manner, but you moved the imperial grandmother here, and sneakily hid at the door to eavesdrop, and rushed into Lian's imperial study without permission, is this the style of your imperial eldest grandson?" ”

Yang Tan lowered his head, "Grandson knows his mistake!" ”

Yang Guang just warned him that he would really punish him, so he stretched out his voice and said: "Since you know your mistakes, forget it, remember that you are young, and if you are not held accountable, let's talk to you about business!" ”

Yang Guang groaned and asked: "Then in your opinion, how can Lian use Yang Yuanqing, and then use him to continue to be the imperial history?" ”

Yang Tan already had an idea in his heart, he hurriedly said: "Imperial grandfather, the orange of Huainan is called Mandarin when it arrives in Huaibei, water and soil, Yang Yuanqing is the commander of the town, but the emperor's grandfather uses him as a minister, so he has the idea to go, and his grandson also understands that the emperor's grandfather is worried that he has been in office in Fengzhou for too long, in fact, the emperor's grandfather can implement the rotation system of border towns, Fengzhou will be transferred to Daizhou in three or four years, and Daizhou will be transferred to Liangzhou in three or four years, so that the border town will not be troubled, and I hope that the emperor's grandfather will observe it."

Yang Guang laughed appreciatively, worthy of being his imperial grandson, he was only ten years old to have such a clever idea, the border town rotation, not bad, but he is a child after all, and he is still not thoughtful enough to consider the problem, and now considering Yang Yuanqing's matter, it is more necessary to consider it from the position of the Shandong Shi clan.

Yang Guang nodded and smiled: "According to what you mean, reappoint Yang Yuanqing as the side marshal?" ”

"That's right, don't, I recommend him as the governor of Daizhou, the Northern Imperial Turk."

Yang Guang took a few steps with his hands behind his back, and finally he shook his head, "If Lianzhen wants to appoint him as the coach of the border town again, Lianzhen will not consider him going to Daizhou, and Lianzhen will make him the governor of Gongzhou." ”

Empress Xiao and Yang Tan retreated, Yang Guang sat alone in front of the imperial case and thought, if he really wanted to appoint Yang Yuanqing as the governor of Youzhou, then he still had a lot of things to do, just like his wife Empress Xiao's mention of him, Yang Yuanqing was behind the Shandong Shi clan, so it was necessary to regard him as a representative of the Shandong Shi clan.

In his original intention, Yang Guang is now very willing to position Yang Yuanqing as a Shandong scholar clan and let him lead the Shandong scholar clan to confront the Guanlong nobles, so that the Shandong scholar clan will become the pillar of his imperial power.

It's just that if he comes, he needs to strike at the Yang family again, completely cutting off the possibility of Yang Yuanqing returning to the Yang family, and if Yang Yuanqing is promoted, Yang Xuangan will inevitably fall.

Yang Guang took it from the table -- this is Zheng Shanguo's impeachment of Yang Xuangan for killing his wife and breaking his temper, Yang Guang knew that Yang Xuangan's wife was the daughter of the Zheng family, and that the minister's killing of his wife was an extremely serious mistake.

Zheng Shanguo's compromise also admitted that Yang Xuangan did not kill his wife, but the reason why he did not kill his wife was that the personal maid saved the housewife, but the personal maid had her arm cut off, which is enough to show that Yang Xuangan had the idea of killing his wife.

Yang Guang watched the recital twice, and at this time, the eunuch reported at the door, "Your Majesty, Pei Shangshu is here." ”

"Announce him in!"

After a while, Pei Yun hurriedly walked in, he was the head of the household department and the imperial historian, - everyone called him a book, Pei Yun stepped forward and bowed, "Weichen see Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Guang smiled apologetically: "Pei Aiqing has already gone back to rest!" They have called you again. ”

"Your Majesty is still working hard for state affairs, and the minister dares to rest?"

Yang Guang praised his attitude, and asked: "Yang Yuanqing wants to resign, does Pei Aiqing know?" ”

Pei Yun did not deny it, he frankly admitted, "Just now he came to the minister, and he also talked about his desire to resign, but the minister did not approve." ”

"Is Pei Aiqing disapproves, or is the Pei family disapproves?" Yang Guang looked at Pei Yun.

Pei Yun savored the meaning of Yang Guang's words, he pondered for a moment and said: "The minister has not talked to the family about this matter yet, but the minister believes that the Pei family will not approve of it, including the minister's brother." ”

Yang Guang also sighed and said: "Actually, Lian didn't approve either, and the emperor begged Lian to keep Yang Yuanqing, Lian thought about it again and again, and wanted to appoint him as the governor of Youzhou, I don't know what Pei Ai thinks?" ”

Pei Yun's eyes are bright, the governor of Youzhou, this is a level higher than the governor of Fengzhou, and Youzhou is not as far away as Fengzhou, it can remotely control Hebei and Shandong, if Yang Yuanqing is the governor of Youzhou, not only the Pei family will benefit, but the entire Shandong clan will benefit.

Pei Yun suddenly understood that Yang Guang was preparing to find the support of the Shandong Shi clan, but he was very cautious and refused to express his position easily, so he only bowed down and said: "Your Majesty's decision is supported by the ministers." ”

Yang Guang caught the bright color in Pei Yun's eyes, he knew it in his heart, so he handed Zheng Shanguo's recital to Pei Yun, and said coldly: "This is the Zheng family's impeachment of Yang Xuangan for killing his wife, this matter will be handed over to your Yushitai to investigate, if the situation is true, the union will be severely punished!" ”

The next day, the convoy should have set off, but the dragon boat did not leave for a long time, and a eunuch led Yang Yuanqing to hurriedly walk onto the dragon boat, and Yang Yuanqing offered his resignation last night, but Yang Guang did not reply to him, and he will give a formal reply today.

Pei Yun found him last night and told him the result, Yang Guang will make him the governor of Youzhou, Pei Yun hopes that he can agree, this is a rare opportunity, this result is Yang Yuanqing's expectations, he didn't expect Yang Guang to be willing to spend so much money to keep him.

But Yang Yuanqing also knew that Yang Guang's feast was not so delicious, why not appoint him as the governor of Daizhou or Liangzhou, of course, there are factors of the Shandong scholars, but more importantly, Youzhou and the Liaodong campaign are closely related, Yang Guang wants to use the position of Youzhou governor to continue to tie him to the chariot against the Guanlong nobles, Yang Guang's thinking has not changed, but the method is more clever than before.

Yang Yuanqing walked to the front of the imperial study, and the eunuch went in to report, and came out after a while: "Yang Yushi, Your Majesty announced that you are in!" ”

Yang Yuanqing walked into the imperial study and bowed down: "Minister Yang Yuanqing see Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Guang showed a gentle smile on his face, "Yang Aiqing, Lian thought about it for a long time last night, although your filial piety is commendable, but now is the time for the imperial court to employ people, you will serve for Lian for a few more years, and when the world is calm, Lian will definitely let you return to your hometown to fulfill your filial piety, of course, Lian will also compensate you, and the membrane has issued a decree to crown your mother as the Lady of Cong, and at the same time ordered Anlu County Taishou to rebuild your mother's mausoleum, sacrifice at four o'clock, and crown your uncle as the lieutenant of Jingshan County, what do you think?" ”

Yang Yuanqing knelt down and thanked: "Your Majesty knows the grace of the encounter, and Weichen is grateful!" ”

Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction, "In that case, the Union has decided to appoint you as the governor of Youzhou, and the governor of the battle of Goryeo is in charge of logistics. ”

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty!"

At this time, Yang Guang said slowly: "Before the official appointment, you will do something for the Lian. ”

"Your Majesty, please!"

Yang Guang said in a low voice: "Yuwen Jing was arrested by the bandits as the imperial history, if this matter spreads, the United will be laughed at by the world, the United has blocked the news, and ordered Liyang Hu Benlang to lead Zhang Ping to lead the five thousand troops to suppress the bandits, but the United received the news this morning, Zhang Ping actually had a negative will and was defeated by the Wagang bandit army, you can lead the ten thousand troops to Wagang again, and the Lian to exterminate the Wagang bandits, and the matter of Yuwenjing is not allowed to spread." ”

Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and said: "The minister has heard about this matter, and the minister implores His Majesty to give the minister full authority to grant this matter, and the minister promises to properly resolve the matter." ”

"Yes, no matter what means you use, as long as you are connected, Yuwen Jingsheng wants to see people, and death wants to see corpses."
