Chapter XVIII Voting

Jiangdu Palace, Yu Wenshu hurriedly walked to the imperial study, he was uneasy in his heart, Yang Xuangan had heard a detailed report on the comeback, but he never expected that his son would fall into the hands of Yang Xuangan, which made him shocked and angry, but at this time he was more worried about how to explain to Yang Guang.

Yuwenshu stayed awake all night last night, thinking of dozens of reasons, but all the reasons had loopholes, and there was no time for him to think about it anymore, early in the morning, Yang Guang sent a eunuch to announce him, and he could only hurry to the imperial study.

In front of the imperial study, the eunuch Li Zhongliang's face was terrified, and he didn't dare to say much to him, it can be seen that Yang Guang is furious, Yuwenshu sighed, is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, he can only face reality.

"Yuwen Xiangguo has arrived!" The little eunuch reported to him at the door.

"Announce him in!"

Yang Guang's cold voice came from the room, which gave Yu Wenshu another glimmer of hope in his heart, at least Yang Guang didn't directly drink the order to drag him down to beat him with a cane, and was willing to listen to his explanation, which showed that Yang Guang also knew in his heart.

Yuwenshu walked into the imperial study, only to see Yang Guang standing in front of the window with his hands in his hand, his face was pale, there were fragments of porcelain on the ground, a piece of ginseng was inlaid in the crack of the floor, Yuwenshu's legs were weak, and he knelt down, "The old minister Yuwenshu is here to confess!" ”

Yang Guang looked out the window expressionlessly, the monstrous anger in his heart was out of control, burning his heart numb, Yang Xuangan actually captured Guanzhong, which simply made him crazy, at this time his heart can no longer be described as hate, he is dripping blood in his heart, and a deep sense of crisis spreads in his heart.

Yang Guang didn't look back, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yuwenshu, are you guilty?" ”

"The minister is guilty, and the minister's son is not strict, which leads him to another big disaster!"

"I didn't say anything about Yu Culture and the matter, you didn't kill Yang Xuangan two years ago, which led to today's disaster, are you guilty?"

Yuwenshu's heart was relieved, it turned out to be two years ago, he hurriedly said: "The minister already knew two years ago that he was hiding in the area of Funiu Mountain and Shangluo County, and the minister searched for it repeatedly, but he never dreamed that Zhang Ji, the Taishou of Shangluo County, actually shielded Yang Xuangan, and then Yang Zhiji replaced the minister, and the minister did not know about the later things." ”

After a pause, he added: "If the minister knew, the minister would not have let Yu Wenhua go to Shangluo County to suppress the bandits, so that he would cause a big disaster." ”

Yang Guang turned his head and looked at Yu Wenshu, in fact, he had another thought in his heart, two years ago, Yu Wenshu and Yang Xuangan had a deal, and deliberately let Yang Xuangan go, this time he specially sent his eldest son Yu Wenhua and went to cooperate with Yang Xuangan to rebel.

But Yang Guang finally let go of this idea, if he did this, it would do Yuwenshu no harm, Yuwenshu would not be so stupid, and Yuwenshu could help anyone, but not the Yang family.

Yang Guang nodded, "Yu Wenhua and Ling I are very disappointed. ”

Yu Wenshu was happy in his heart, he felt that his catastrophe had passed, and the rest was a small responsibility, he also sighed and said: "Your Majesty also knows that he is indeed a stupid person, the minister is old, I wanted him to establish a little merit and gain a future for himself, so he thought of letting him go to Shangluo County, where the bandits are weak, to suppress the bandits, but he didn't expect it.... Ay! has such a son, and the minister hates it in his heart! ”

Yang Guang's face softened a lot, his own son Yang Xuan was not like this, he could understand Yu Wenshu's mood, Yu Wenhua was indeed a stupid and incompetent person, it would not be Yu Wenhua and took the initiative to help Yang Xuangan, he didn't have the courage yet.

The incident has happened, and it is useless to blame Yuwenshu now, he summoned Yuwenshu not to blame him, Yang Guang said coldly: "Yuwenhua and the catastrophe, you are his father, you have to clean up this evil fruit, I will give you 100,000 troops, within two months, I will completely exterminate Yang Xuangan, take his head to see me, I will spare your father and son, otherwise you will be punished for the crime!" ”

Yu Wenshu was completely relieved, Yang Guangken gave him 100,000 troops, which means that he still trusts himself, then this matter can be made up, he immediately bowed down and saluted, "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Guang ordered Feng Yuwen to be the generalissimo of Pingxi, with Qu Tutong as the deputy marshal, and the two led an army of 100,000 to urgently rush to Guanzhong to exterminate Yang Xuangan. This is what Yang Guang is most worried about.

．．．．．．．．

Fengzhou Governor's Mansion, Yang Yuanqing also stood in front of the window and pondered, there was a letter on the table, it was an invitation letter written by his father Yang Xuangan, inviting him to lead the army to Guanzhong, father and son to raise righteousness and seize Yang Sui world.

This letter put Yang Yuanqing in a dilemma, he knew that Yang Xuangan's second rebellion was unpopular, although he had occupied Guanzhong, it did not mean that he could seize the world, in the era of the Sui Dynasty, a power group and a gate valve deep-rooted, it was almost impossible to seize the world by force alone, if he took refuge in Yang Xuangan, it meant that he gave up the Shandong Shi clan, and this huge political price made him have to be cautious.

But on the other hand, this is indeed another temptation, Yang Xuangan captured Guanzhong, if he led the army to the south again, then there was almost no suspense for their father and son to seize Guanlong, if they could fully occupy Guanlong, this would be another advantage.

It was Guan Long's great temptation that made Yang Yuanqing excited, and he wanted to lead his army south, but another equally strong voice in his heart told him that he couldn't do this!

Yang Yuanqing also sighed, since he can't choose, let his subordinates help him choose!

Yang Yuanqing turned around and walked out of the room and came to the conference hall next door, which was already full of people, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Cui Junsu, Luo Aiting, Yang Sien, Pei Renji, Ma Shao, Yang Jiachen, Su Dingfang, Pei Xingyan and other 47 high-ranking civil and military officials were already seated.

In the middle of the long table is placed a cardboard box, there is a note in front of everyone, there is a choice on the left and right, one is 'entering the customs', one is not entering the customs, everyone tears half of it and puts it in the cardboard box, a total of forty-seven votes, including one vote for Yang Yuanqing, that is, forty-eight votes, all of which are secret ballots, and these forty-eight votes will determine the future of the Fengzhou Army.

Yang Yuanqing walked into the room, "Have you finished voting?" ”

Du Ruhui nodded, "Everyone has finished voting, there is no discussion, it is all their own choice, and now the manager is one vote." ”

Yang Yuanqing took out one of his votes, folded it to him, and slowly tore it into two, he looked at it for a long time, and finally voted half of the 'not entering the customs' into the ballot box.

The reason why Yang Yuanqing did not adopt the method of voting by show of hands after the debate, but adopted the secret ballot method is because Yang Yuanqing hopes that this time the choice will be made by everyone, everyone can consider their own vital interests, rather than the so-called general righteousness or strategic advantages and disadvantages.

The Fengzhou Army is not only the army of Yang Yuanqing alone, but also the army of an interest group, everyone follows him Yang Yuanqing to fight the country, they all have their own interests to consider, and he cannot only consider his own righteousness and his own interests.

If most people's choice is to enter the customs, then Yang Yuanqing will not hesitate to lead the army into the customs, he turned back to the clerk Zhang Liang and Jia Zhengyi and said: "You two start counting the votes!" ”

The two of them hung a blank piece of paper on the wall, with A on the left, entering the customs; On the right is B, not entering the customs, according to Yang Yuanqing's way, draw the word 'positive' to indicate the number of votes.

Jia Zhengyi was in charge of reporting the ticket, Zhang Liang copied the orthography, Jia Zhengyi took out all the notes, sorted them out, and began to report the ticket, "The first one, not in the customs." ”

"The second one, don't enter the customs!"

．．．．．．

Everyone in the chamber sat up straight, staring intently at the number of votes on the blank paper.

"The forty-eighth sheet, not in the customs!"

After the last ticket was reported, there was a round of applause in the hall, all the forty-eight votes were not in the customs, and no one was in favor of entering the customs, including Yang Yuanqingzi, Yang Yuanqing had a trace of inexplicable emotion in his heart, and their hearts had never been so neat.

Although everyone didn't say it, Yang Yuanqing knew in his heart that everyone was unwilling to work hard for Yang Xuangan's family, and they would rather choose to fight the world by themselves, including Guan Long people like Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Ma Shao, and they also gave up this opportunity.

Faced with forty-eight unanimous choices, Yang Yuanqing made the final decision, "Okay! Since everyone has made their attitude clear, then we will not enter the customs. ”

．．．．．．．．

Everyone dispersed one after another, and Du Ruhui walked into Yang Yuanqing's room and said with a smile: "The manager didn't expect this to be the result!" ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded and smiled bitterly, "I guess most of the people chose not to enter the customs, after all, there are more people in Shandong, but I didn't expect it to be so unanimous, which makes me very optimistic about Yang Xuangan's rebellion." ”

Du Ruhui sat down and said: "Mainly after the failure of the last incident, everyone has seen Yang Xuangan more thoroughly, this person is indecisive, heavy on the clan and light on the general, and suspicious of employing people, it will not be a big deal, and if he follows him, his family will be ruined and killed, and everyone is unwilling to vote." ”

"Brother Keming thinks the same way?"

Du Ruhui shook his head, "I actually objected for your sake." ”

"For my sake?"

Yang Yuanqing was a little surprised, so he smiled and said, "Let's talk about it specifically!" ”

"The reason is very simple, Yang Xuangan rebelled last time, you released the rebel thief Yang Xuangan, and you have severed the father-son relationship with him, he rebelled this time, if you go to take refuge again, how will the world think of you?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, Du Ruhui was right, and Du Ruhui said: "Also, even if everyone supports you to join Yang Xuangan, even if you win the world in the future, will you be the crown prince?" What should you do if it's not your turn? Will Yang Jun spare you? How do you explain it to everyone? Yuanqing, these questions are very realistic, you were driven out of the clan by the Yang family back then, Yang Xuangan did not object, it shows that he also has prejudices against you, I dare to assert that he invites you to Guanzhong now, and he is more of a use of you, rather than a father-son relationship. ”

Du Ruhui looked into Yang Yuanqing's eyes and said word by word: "If you lead the army to join him, he will definitely kill you and take away your army." ”

Yang Yuanqing sighed slightly, "The dove occupies the magpie's nest, I just hope that he can drag the restoration of the Guanlong nobles for me in Guanzhong." ”
