Jianghuai, Yangzhou.

On April 15, it was early summer. The red and purple have become dust, and the cuckoo is new in the summer, and when the red and purple flowers that bloom in the spring have withered, the cuckoo's cry calls for summer. Yangzhou Jiangdu in Huainan, Jiangdong, Yang Guang called the emperor here, and then promoted Yangzhou Jiangdu City to Nanjing, and changed his own mansion to Jiangdu Palace, as his own palace city.

On an early summer morning, the river was shrouded in a thin white mist. The sun has not yet come out, and the warm wind blowing on the Yangtze River carries a damp coolness.

In the palace, which has been converted from an old mansion, there is still a bit of simplicity and simplicity in the palace, and the monarchs and ministers sit opposite each other, each silent. The green smoke of sandalwood burning rose, and Yang Guang, the new emperor who established himself as the emperor, was holding tea in a Xuan robe, but his eyes lingered on the newspaper in front of him.

"Is there any news from Yang Lin?" Zhang Heng, who was dressed in a purple robe and jade belt, wore a beam crown on his head and a purple gold fish bag on his waist, the henchman of the Son of Heaven in Jiangdu, was rewarded by the new emperor in the Jiangdu court, and served as the prefect of the Imperial History Observatory, and was extremely favored.

Zhang Heng broke the silence, but the atmosphere did not improve.

The cup of tea in Yang Guang's hand had already cooled, but the tea in the cup was not less at all, and he couldn't taste the dragon tongue he liked very much in the past, but he couldn't taste it at all at this time.

%" has not been heard back. Yang Guang shook his head slowly, "Jianping, did you say I made a mistake in this step?" Issuing an edict to canonize Yang Lin as the crown prince, will it backfire? ”

"Your Majesty is too worried, and Your Majesty canonized Yang Lin as the crown prince. What a glory and trust it is. The minister didn't think that Yang Lin would be dissatisfied with this. ”

"But he hasn't replied to me yet." Yang Guang frowned.

"Yangzhou and Huaihuang are three thousand miles apart. The distance is long, and the exchange of news is inconvenient. It will take time. ”

"If Yi Feng replies, he can fly pigeons to send a message to me, he has many pigeons."

There was silence in the hall again.

Up to now, the monarchs and ministers all felt that things were a little out of control and had not been carried out as expected. Originally, the current situation was already very good. Emperor Daxing died, Yang Guang immediately got a secret letter from Yang Yue from Beijing to Hedong, after some thought, Yang Guang did not hesitate to take a team of guards directly to the south. He left behind the position of governor of the state and the state of merger, which was nominally his territory. He slept all the way back to Huainan, first arrived at Shouchun controlled by Yuwenshu, and then lit up his more than 10,000 private troops in the private army camp there, and marched all the way to Yangzhou. He didn't bother to return to Yangzhou lightly, when Yang Jun didn't know anything, Yang Guang had already led troops to surround Yang Jun's mansion, and then entered the mansion to talk to the third brother alone for a while, and then came out, Yang Jun had been placed under house arrest by him. He regained control of Yangzhou. With eight years of operation in Yangzhou, plus many preparations secretly prepared over the years, plus the private army he secretly recruited and trained, Yang Guang took back the control of Yangzhou without much effort. Then there is the allegiance of the major families in Jiangdong and the officials of the prefectures and counties. Then, Yang Zhao, the son of the governor of Yizhou, was loud. After that, he sent his henchmen to Jingzhou. Secret meeting with Yang Hong. Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, is Yang Guang's cousin, and the relationship between the two has been very good in the past. Every year when he enters Beijing, Yang Hong will go to Yangzhou as the acting governor. After the Han King Yang Lang feudal Nanyue. Yang Hong acted as the governor of Jingzhou. After Yang Guang's envoy had a secret meeting with Yang Hong, Yang Hong declared his allegiance to Yang Guang.

In a short period of time, Yang Guang had already controlled most of the three major governors of Yang, Jing, and Yi in the original six major governorships of the imperial court, although there must be some officials who were still secretly waiting, but this result was already greatly unexpected enough to surprise him. But on the other hand, there can be such a result today, but also the result of his secret business over the years, a few years ago, Yang Guang was already planning with Zhang Heng, Duan Da, Yu Wenshu, Guo Yan and other henchmen, on the one hand, plotting to seize the heir, on the other hand, also making second-hand preparations, recruiting troops and buying horses in Jiangnan, saving money, food and armor, planning to make the worst plan in case the time to win the heir, and set up troops to seize Jiangdong. It is precisely with these preparations that when Yang Guang raised the banner of Yang Xiu's usurpation of the throne and the rebellion of Yang Xiu in the south of the Yangtze River, the situation would be so smooth.

But behind this smooth sailing, Yang Guang was uneasy. This uneasiness came from Yang Lin, after Yangzhou became emperor, Yang Guang had to face the other two brothers Yang Xiu and Yang Yong, who were also emperors. For that crazy Yang Xiu, Yang Guang didn't have any worries, this was just an arrogant and crazy idiot, everyone didn't expect him to do such a crazy thing, his usurpation of the monarch also caught Yang Guang and Yang Yong off guard, making the situation completely change. Yang Guang and Yang Yong had been competing in front of the emperor and waiting for the verdict, but who would have thought that in the end they couldn't wait for the final verdict, and the emperor was ruled by Yang Xiu. Just because the emperor wanted to seal Yang Xiu to Ryukyu Island, this guy went crazy.

Yang Guang always thought that if there was no accident, the competition between him and Yang Yong would definitely end with the emperor choosing himself.

But he couldn't wait for that day, and Yang Xiu, a fool, was ruined.

Yang Xiu's stupid thing made Yang Yong, who was in charge of the Northern Expedition, take a big advantage, holding hundreds of thousands of Northern Expedition troops, so that he had to flee Hedong overnight. Now Yang Yong succeeded to the throne in Taiyuan under the support of Gao Gong and other Northern Expedition Middle Route Army, and owned hundreds of thousands of horses in Hedong, Henan, etc. This made Yang Guang uneasy, fighting for the throne to this point, who can have the last laugh in the end, or win with soldiers and horses, and Yang Yong Gao Gong is holding the elite soldiers of the imperial court.

At this time, Yang Guang found that this battle for the throne would eventually be a decisive battle between him and Yang Yong. And one of them has enough food, the other is strong and strong, and the two are equal in strength, and Yang Lin has become a key bargaining chip that can determine their success or failure. It was also at this time that Yang Guang understood the process of the Battle of Daibei, and at this time he really realized Yang Lin's true strength, a powerful faction that people could not ignore.

"Could it be that Yang Lin could not choose his father in the end?" Duan Da took a sip of the tea that had already been cold in the cup and looked at the others.

"Yang Yong also canonized Yang Lin as the crown prince." Zhang Heng replied lightly.

Yang Guang pondered for a long time and nodded. "I never saw through him, and I couldn't guess through him. Every time I thought I had seen him clearly, but in the blink of an eye, he could surprise people. He's the pawn we can't control. I always felt a little uneasy. ”

"Hasn't there been a reply from the Yue Guogong side, Your Majesty? Chen always felt that Yang Su was a little unreliable, he stationed troops in Lingzhou, but there was no movement for a long time, His Majesty asked him to send troops to seize the military power of Shi Wansui, seize Longyou Hexi, and cooperate with His Majesty to recover the Guanzhong Jingshi, he has not replied until now, he is waiting. Play the field. ”

"Yue Gong has just experienced a big battle, and he has reached the end of a big defeat, and he also needs to recuperate. The minister thought that it was enough for the Duke of Yue to keep an eye on Shi Wansui and firmly nail him to Lingzhou. To recover Guanzhong, we still need to rely on us, and it is enough to have Yue Gong in Longyou. Now, not only can we not accuse Yue Gong of waiting and seeing, but we must immediately send people to announce the edict and reward more. Of course, Zhang Heng also knew that Yang Su was now sitting on the ground and watching. The suspicion of waiting for the price to sell, but how can you keep an eye on these at this time. Not only can you not grasp these, but you have to give a big reward.

"I plan to promote the post of the left servant of the Duke of Yueguo Shangshu and change the title of Duke of Chu. CTA. The generals under the Yue Gong of Lingfeng Erzhou, those who have officials are promoted to one level, and those who have no officials will be given 10,000 yuan. ”

Duan Dadao. "The minister still thinks that when he gathers troops and horses to attack Henan first. After taking Luoyang, attack Hedong again. Defeat Yang Yong, and then turn back to the army to clean up Yang Xiu. ”

"The minister is opposed, and now we should seize the time to march into Guanzhong, and take the Beijing division as soon as possible, and take the Beijing division is an orthodox symbol, and it cannot be delayed." Zhang Heng didn't care about the friendship with Duan Da's colleagues, and hurriedly spoke out to oppose it again, insisting on courting Yang Xiu first, taking the Jingshi, and obtaining the name of orthodoxy, and then it was not too late to deal with Yang Yong.

"How many soldiers and horses can we gather and march into the pass?"

"There are 50,000 soldiers and horses in Shouchun, Yangzhou, and Hongzhou, all of which are private troops recruited and trained at the beginning, and they are loyal and reliable. In addition, Jingzhou Mansion can gather 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Yizhou Mansion can also gather 50,000 soldiers and horses. "Duan Da is the secretary of the military department of the new imperial court, he was originally Yang Guang's Sima, who controlled military affairs and knew these very well.

"There are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yangzhou?"

"50,000 is the private army originally recruited by His Majesty, although Yangzhou is a land of forty-four states, there are not many soldiers and horses, and most of the imperial court soldiers are deployed in Gyeonggi and Hedong, Hebei, Henan, and very few in the south. Moreover, many prefectures and counties in Yangzhou are in Lingnan, where most of them are slang and barbarians, and now their attitude towards the imperial court is still very ambiguous, and it is difficult to summon their soldiers and horses. His Majesty rebelled, and he could also recruit about 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yangzhou. But the minister thought that it would be better to recruit less than 50,000. If we recruit too many soldiers, not only will those soldiers not necessarily be reliable, but it will also cause a great burden on our logistical supply. Therefore, the minister thought that this time the invasion of the rebellion should be based on the 50,000 private troops of His Majesty, supplemented by 50,000 officers and soldiers from Yangzhou Prefecture, and then 50,000 troops from each of the two prefectures of Jingyi, a total of 200,000 troops to rebel, and the troops were divided into three routes. ”

"Yangzhou sent 100,000 troops, is the grain and grass ready?"

"There is plenty of food and grass, and you can go at any time."

"Very good, this time I will lead the army and personally recruit him, and I will send a message to the king of Hejian, and I will join him in Xiangyang."

"Yes!"

It wasn't until Zhang Heng and Duan Da had already walked out of the hall, leaving only Yang Guang alone in the hall, that Xiao Shi walked out from behind.

"Does Your Majesty really want to do it yourself?"

"Well, I have to personally command the troops and horses to enter the customs." Yang Guang grabbed Xiao's hand as he spoke, pulled her in front of him, and said with guilt on his face, "Establishing Yang Lin as the crown prince is only an expedient measure under the current situation, I promise you that when Yang Xiu and Yang Yong are defeated, Zhao'er will be re-appointed as the crown prince." ”

"The concubine understands His Highness's distress." Xiao snuggled up to Yang Guang's side, "It's just that the concubine is a little worried, will Yang Lin really be loyal to His Majesty and use troops against Yang Yong?" ”

"I am his biological father, he is not loyal to me, is he loyal to Yang Yong? Or does he still want to be loyal to the kingkiller? Yang Guang smiled at his queen, "Yang Lin is a smart man, I believe he knows how to choose." ”

Yang Guang patted Xiao Shi's hand, "Does he have any other choice?" ”

"How does His Majesty plan to place him in the future?" Xiao Shi smiled.

"My father originally planned to let Yang Xiu go to the East China Sea Ryukyu Island to establish a country and be the king, the king of the Ryukyu country, well, a good place and a good name, Yang Xiu can't be the king of the Ryukyus, so let Yang Lin be the king of the Ryukyus in the future." Yang Guang said to his wife with a smile. (To be continued......) R1292
