The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the cicadas on the trees know and know and scream, and the road of the Wude Hall is deserted, and the palace people can't see one. {We don't write novels, we're just online text porters – we keep screaming, but no one catches cicadas.} In the lotus pond, the water is as clear as blue jade, and the ripples spread in circles. Emperor Yang Yong leaned on the Yun clan and looked at the deserted palace in Youkuo. A wave of heat rushed in, making him hot all over his body. Yun Dingxing hurriedly came over, gently fanned Yang Yong, and handed him a cup of cold bayberry soup.

"The world is hot and cold, and it is so cold!" Yang Yong poured a few sips of chilled bayberry soup before he felt a little more comfortable, he stared at the koi in the pond and asked, "Langya Gong, where are my loyal ministers?" ”

"Back to His Majesty, all the people in the Manchu Dynasty are loyal ministers of His Majesty."

"Fart!" Yang Yong couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "The whole court is now all Yang Lin's lackeys." ”

"Your Majesty is cautious, what is the use of saying those words now." Yun Dingxing persuaded, "Actually, if you think about it from the other side, this situation is not bad now, after all, compared with the King of Jin, the King of Han, and the King of Shu, His Majesty can at least be preserved." Now, don't think about the impossible. If the crown prince wants to take over, then pass it on to him. If His Majesty lets him get his wish, he will naturally let His Majesty be happy in the future. ”

"I'm sorry." Yang Yong sighed, picked up the bayberry soup and took a big sip, "I always feel panicked in my heart. ”

"People are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads." Yun Dingxing tried hard to persuade, "Your Majesty can be seen, Yang Lin's wrist is all over the sky, and now he has newly rectified the Gyeonggi soldiers and horses, transferred 200,000 elites from various ministries to select his Beiya Forbidden Army, and cut 300,000 soldiers and horses, and now 700,000 soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi, 300,000 people have been removed from their armor, and the remaining 400,000 people belong to the Beiya Five Guards and Ten Armies, not to mention the inside and outside of the palace, inside and outside the Beijing Division, that is, the entire Gyeonggi region." All the soldiers and horses are under the control of Yang Lin. Moreover, Gao Gong, Liu Shu, He Ruobi, Shi Wansui and others who supported His Majesty in the past are now on Yang Lin's side. ”

"I am an emperor in name only, and I won't even be able to do this emperor in name only, the only thing I can give you is the duke title of Langya County."

"The prince also has to take care of the public opinion of the world. Even if His Majesty abdicates, he will treat His Majesty well. Moreover, the prince is very handy in handling political affairs, which is really the blessing of His Majesty and the blessing of the Great Sui. Yun Dingxing arched his hand. As the father of the emperor's favorite concubine. A once lowly craftsman, it is not easy for him to get to this point, of course, he shares the glory and disgrace with the emperor, but now the emperor's arm can't resist the prince's thigh, and he can only know the times as a handsome. Originally, it was not his turn to say these words, but for the sake of the future, he could only come on this trip.

"Do you think he's okay too?" Yang Yong glanced at Yun Dingxing, and seeing that he didn't speak, he turned his gaze to the koi in the pond again. He now felt like the koi, seemingly glamorous and free, waiting for someone to feed on time. But in fact, it is just trapped in this small pool, becoming an ornament for others, an ornamental plaything. He sighed and said, "Did Lincoln Yang spare my ten sons?" ”

"The prince has a saying that after receiving Zen and ascending to the pole, ten feudal brothers will establish a state in southern Xinjiang and become a national domain."

"Can't let them stay in the capital?"

Yun Dingxing shook his head.

Yun couldn't help but say. "Father, the King of Changning, the King of Plains, and the King of Ancheng are all your nephews."

"Of course I know, and I also understand Your Majesty's feelings with you, but if you force them to stay in Beijing. It's just a way to take trouble. It is not as good as the feudal southern Xinjiang for the princes, although far away from the Central Plains, as long as you are at ease in the country, abide by the law, you can ensure peace and prosperity for a lifetime. ”

"Stop! Just let him go, Gao Gong and Yang Su. Is it coming? ”

"I'm waiting outside for a summons."

"Go back to the temple and see them, for they will come sooner or later." Yang Yong was excited.

Yang Yong returned to the hall and sat down, and Gao Gong and Yang Su hurriedly came. Yang Yong asked people to bring imperial wine and pour wine for the two prime ministers. The wine was poured, and Yang Yong drank a big glass first.

Gao Gong saw Yang Yong like this, his mood was also very complicated, he supported the prince for more than ten years, and the two families married twice, originally their relationship was a share of honor and disgrace, irreplaceable, but in the end, he still abandoned him. Although he has never regretted this decision, he is even glad that he was decisive now. But at this time, facing the haggard Yang Yong, he still felt a little guilty, and he was silent for a while, and drank a few glasses of wine.

"What is the matter with the Taishi?" Yang Yong asked knowingly.

Gao Gong bowed to the ground, raised his head and said with some complications: "The minister is the head of the hundred officials, and now he is coming with the left servant, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to pass on the throne as soon as possible." ”

"Didn't I already agree to the Zen position?"

"It is also necessary for His Majesty to write an edict himself."

"Bring me pen and paper, and I'll write it to him." When the pen and paper were delivered, Yang Yong wrote an edict on the spot, and then stamped his seal.

Gao Gong took the edict, read it carefully, and put it away satisfied. "Your Majesty, pass on the throne as soon as possible, and be quiet as soon as possible, so that you can enjoy exclusive wealth."

The monarchs and ministers drank a few more glasses of wine, Gao Gong and Yang Su said goodbye and got up, Gao Gong said to Yang Yong, "Tomorrow, the ministers will come, and then they will have to work Your Majesty." ”

"The edict has been written, what else do you want, just say it together today."

Yang Su said on the side, "The former Jin Dynasty received the book, and the three resignations were obeyed, which was based on the late Han Dynasty and the three as the conclusion. Three words are not allowed, and then accept it. ”

Yang Su is talking about the practice of the past dynasties, whether it is voluntary Zen concession or usurping power, the recipient of Zen must resign three times before finally accepting. Not only is this the case with Chan, but the founding emperors of each dynasty also have to resign three times to reach the pole. Three words are not accepted, in order to show modesty, to prevent the slander of the world.

Yang Yong couldn't help but laugh, no one in the world knew how eager Yang Lin was to be the emperor, and he was on the verge of kicking the door, but he still had to make a gesture and not allow it and then accept it, it was really Yang Yong's tears of laughter came out, and it took a long time to stop. Gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'm waiting for you tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow." Rest assured, the prince is modest and refuses to accept the edict, but I will not allow it until he agrees. ”

Yang Su smiled, although Yang Yong was unhappy in his heart, he still understood the matter. But even if Yang Yong refuses to cooperate now, it doesn't really matter, it's just that it will be a little ugly.

Yang Yong's official edict of succession was issued, and Yi Feng did not accept it. In fact, Yi Feng was unwilling to engage in this three words, but his subordinates insisted on going through such a process, and in the end, it was arbitrary. Yi Feng did not accept the resignation, Gao Gong Yang Su went to the Wude Hall again, Yang Yong once again issued an edict not to allow Yi Feng to resign, let him succeed to the throne, and then Yi Feng refused to accept it again, and then Yang Yong issued an edict again to pass on the throne, and so on three times, and finally Yi Feng did not allow it according to the three resignations of the full etiquette system, and finally accepted it.

The Zen Rang has finally been decided, but the preparations for the enthronement ceremony have already been carried out in an orderly manner. When Yi Feng kept saying stubborn and earnest, and Yang Yong repeatedly and repeatedly issued edicts that were not allowed, and the two sides were engaged in this tacit 'humility' game, the preparations for the ceremony were almost ready. The original date of the ceremony on August 6 was finally postponed to August 8, a more auspicious day. The place of enthronement has also been chosen, and it will be held in the Daxing Hall. Some people objected that now that the Son of Heaven is located in the Son, then it should not occupy the Daxing Hall of the Son of Heaven, and there is a mention yì held in the Inner Dynasty Liangyi Palace, but this mention yì was vetoed. Even Yang Su took the opportunity to propose that after the crown prince ascended the throne, he would build another palace for the emperor in the north of the palace city, which was specially used for the residence of the emperor.

At this time, a close attendant walked in and whispered to Yi Feng, "General Li Jing has sent a military intelligence report about Liaoxi. ”

"Oh?" Wei Chong, the governor of Yingzhou, led Goguryeo across the Liao River in response to Yang Guang, and at that time Yi Feng did not want to start a war on several sides, so he finally decided to be on the safe side. Li Jing was sent to Yuguan in Pingzhou to lead the army to defend Yuyu Pass and defend Goguryeo from entering Kou Youyan. At that time, Yi Feng's order to Li Jing was to stick to the line of Yuguan and Lulongsai, not to fight lightly, and to clean up Goguryeo after pacifying the pass. Now that Guanzhong has been decided, the rebellion in the world has been quelled, and Yi Feng has also asked the Privy Council to begin to discuss the matter of sending troops to Liaoxi. However, the specific details have not been discussed yet, but Li Jing came to report, Yi Feng felt strange, could it be that there are changes in the Northeast? He immediately opened the report and took a closer look, and the report by Li Jing was indeed an important piece of military information. Li Jing was ordered to go to Yuguan to guard the town, but he did not leave the customs according to the order. The Goguryeo people sent their troops to Guanxia several times to provoke, but Li Jing ignored it. Seeing that there was no chance for the Goguryeo people, they retreated to Yingzhou. Soon after, the news that Yang Guang had been killed by his subordinates spread to Liaoxi, and Li Jing took the opportunity to send an envoy to Wei Chong to prepare to surrender Wei Chong. Seeing that Yang Guang was dead and the situation in the Central Plains was clear, Wei Chong finally decided to surrender to the imperial court and surrender to Li Jing. However, this matter could not be kept secret, and was finally discovered by Gao Yuan, who found out that Wei Chong was going to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, and also planned to join forces with Li Jing, preparing to trap the Goguryeo army.

He suddenly attacked, stuffed into Yingzhou, raided Yingzhou soldiers and horses, and then killed Wei Chong, took the opportunity to occupy Yingzhou, and then quickly occupied the entire western Liaoning.

When Li Jing got the news, Gao Yuan's soldiers and horses had already occupied Liaoxi. Li Jing did not dare to send troops at this time, so he immediately rushed to the imperial court and asked for the court's decision.

After reading this report, Yi Feng frowned, but he was not too surprised. When Wei Chong led Gao Yuan to lead his troops across Liaoshui, he had already thought of such an outcome. Wei Chongying's soldiers and horses are only thousands, but he led Gao Yuan's 80,000 soldiers and horses into the country, isn't this leading wolves into the house? It's just that he didn't have time to immediately send troops into Liaoxi at that time, and Gao Yuan waited until Wei Chong wanted to sell him before turning his face, which was already a little unexpected to him.

"What do you think?" Yi Feng handed over the report to his subordinates to circulate. (To be continued.) )xh118
