Chapter 6 Raising Tigers and Causing Trouble

The next day, Yang Yuanqing came to Jinyang Palace early, the next day the sky was not completely bright, the morning light was twilight, the Jinyang Palace was heavily guarded, and a team of soldiers in full armor were on duty inside and outside the palace.

Jinyang Palace covers a huge area, there are hundreds of acres of as much, the main gate is called Danfeng Gate, after entering Danfeng Gate is Qifeng Square, just north is the main hall Jinyang Palace, has been renamed Qinzheng Palace, there are dozens of huge buildings distributed on both sides, here is where the major centers of the imperial court are.

There is a magnificent attic on both sides of the Qinzheng Palace, the left is called the Dragon Pavilion, the right is called the Qifeng Pavilion, at this time the Dragon Pavilion has been renamed the Library Pavilion, it is the place where the imperial court places the documents and archives, and the Qifeng Pavilion is renamed the Ziwei Pavilion, and it is also the power center of the entire imperial court.

According to the rules agreed in advance, the Great Dynasty is only held three times a year, once each for the New Year, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, once every ten years in the Middle Dynasty, attended by the chief and vice officials of the temples of each ministry to discuss major events of the imperial court, and the small Dynasty is held every morning, by the five phases of centralized deliberation, by the majority of votes, some important matters must be reported to the regent for approval before they can be implemented.

Since the five phases are all still scholars, they generally deal with court affairs in the official offices of various ministries, and Ziwei Pavilion is resident by three people from the Inner Shishe, in addition, the five phases will take turns to govern the pen, and the minister of the ruling pen will also work in Ziwei Pavilion, and he is responsible for convening and presiding over the daily court meeting.

Yang Yuanqing's carriage slowly arrived at Jinyang Palace, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he heard someone behind him call him, "Yuanqing!" ”

Yang Yuanqing turned around, only to see that not far behind him, Pei Ju also got out of the carriage, and walked over with a smile, two days ago, the Pei family built a mansion in Taiyuan, and Pei Ju had already moved to his own mansion.

After Pei Minqiu said what Pei Ju persuaded her last night, Yang Yuanqing was quite annoyed, although he also knew that this was the normal idea of the family, and ordinary people would do the same, but Pei Ju used the threat of abolition to blackmail his wife to support the Pei family, which made Yang Yuanqing very dissatisfied, this was Pei Ju interfering in his housework.

Yang Yuanqing smiled reluctantly to hide the dissatisfaction in his heart, now is far from the time to turn his face with the Pei family, he still needs the full support of the Pei family.

"Bae Sang-kook came to ...... so early"

Pei Ju didn't expect that his granddaughter would tell Yang Yuanqing everything he had explained, and he was in a very happy mood, so he smiled and said, "Today is the first day, of course we have to come a little early, I guess we are still late, there must be someone who arrived before us." ”

Mo Daojun walked early, and there were even more early pedestrians, Pei Ju was right, both of them were late, and the other four people in Ziwei Pavilion had already arrived, and they were sitting in the council hall whispering.

According to the order of yesterday's draw, the first person to write the ruling matter is Su Wei, he held the pen for ten days, and then handed it over to the second person Wang Xu, and today's Ziwei Pavilion proceedings are presided over by him.

Su Wei saw Yang Yuanqing walk in at a glance, and hurriedly said to everyone: "Everyone, Your Highness has come down." ”

Su Wei's 'Your Highness' is extremely uncomfortable, there is a kind of flesh numbness from head to toe, no wonder many people don't like Su Wei, he is indeed good at pleasing Shangyi Yang Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "In the future, you will still call me the chief manager, so that everyone is more comfortable." ”

Everyone laughed, and Du Ruhui said: "It's better to call the chief manager Shunkou, let's go to your majesty, and then seal Yuanqing as the governor of the state, then it is logical." ”

The four winters said yes, each returned to the main seat, the council hall is a person and a table, surrounded by a circle, the Xiangguo of the ruling pen sat on the main seat, convened and presided over the meeting, Yang Yuanqing has a position to observe, located on the side, he can participate in the audit or not, today because it is the first day of Ziwei Pavilion proceedings, he participated in this meeting.

On the periphery of Xiangguo's seat, there are three other positions, one is the position of the Inner Shi Shilang, the other is the position of the Yellow Gate Shilang, and the other is the position of the Inner Shi Sheren who is responsible for recording the minutes of the meeting.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Su Wei rang the bell behind him, and with a crisp bell, the lobby fell silent.

"Everyone, today is the first day of the new dynasty Ziwei Pavilion deliberations, I will preside over it, we will follow the rules of the Great Sui, and then according to the principle of simplicity required by the governor, formulate some new regulations, and then discuss the matter of sacrificing the temple and the sky, and the specific court affairs will not be discussed for the time being."

Yang Yuanqing sat on the regent throne three zhang away behind Su Wei, his seat was five feet higher than everyone else, watching the ministers from a distance, he had a condescending feeling of looking down, this feeling actually made him feel a trace of being an emperor, and the authority of the world was in the palm of his hand.

The back cabinet of Ziwei Pavilion is the official room of the regent, and it is Yang Yuanqing's place to deal with government affairs.

His official room is a standard Xiangguo room, consisting of seven rooms on the upper and lower floors, the lower three rooms are the military room, the library room and the waiting room, and the four rooms on the upper floor are the main room of the court, the meeting room, the marching senate room and the rest room, each room is a wooden floor, the arrangement is elegant and fresh, the incense burner burns a faint jasmine incense, lingering in each room, quiet and refreshing.

Yang Yuanqing considered letting Zhang Liang take office, but Zhang Liang was reappointed as a member of the Inner Shi She, he was replaced, and now there are a total of two secretaries in the army, one is in charge of politics, one is in charge of the army, and they are all children of the Dunhuang County family, one is called Xiao Fu, is a child of the Xiao family in Dunhuang, and one is called Shen Chun, a child of the Shen family in Dunhuang.

At that time, there were eighteen children of the Dunhuang family in the army, and with the passage of time, they all gradually emerged in the Fengzhou army, such as Xie Sili, the head of the military department, Wang Yuan, the head of the household department, Shen Xiangshan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Luo Bingguo, the supervisor of the Shaofu, and Xiao Laos and Shen Chun, etc., these eighteen children have become the backbone of the DPRK and the army.

Yang Yuanqing sat down at his desk, his heart has not been settled by the busyness of the past few days, but with the establishment of the imperial court, all affairs are gradually on the right track, and his mind has turned back to the main road of fighting for hegemony in the world.

The weather has gradually cooled, and it will be September in a few days, nearly a month after he took the whole territory of Hedong, and he originally planned to move eastward after taking Hedong, but the change in Jiangdu disrupted his plan.

Yang Yuanqing walked into the marching senate room with his hands behind his back, there is also a sand table here, about one zhang five feet wide, two zhang six feet long, it is a sand table map of the entire Central Plains, Yang Yuanqing stood in front of the sand table and silently watched Hedong, his territory is only a small piece in the entire Central Plains, although the six counties of Fengzhou and Guanbei are vast, but the population resources are very scarce, and there are large areas of desert, compared to the Central Plains, his strength is only medium.

First of all, the troops, his current total strength is about 170,000, he needs to leave 50,000 troops to guard Fengzhou and the six counties of Guanbei, and the strength of Hedong is only 120,000, but also to divide 40,000 troops to garrison the counties, Taiyuan alone needs 20,000 troops to garrison, in fact, he only has 80,000 combat soldiers in his hands, relying on these 80,000 troops to seize Hebei, it is obviously unrealistic.

He also needs to replenish the source of troops, but he doesn't want to plunder the people's power too much, he needs to resume production...... "Slowly increasing his strength, at this time Yang Yuanqing's eyes fell on Hanoi County, which is located in the southeasternmost part of Hedong Province and is blocked by Taihang Mountain, where there are Song Jingang's 30,000 troops.

He first wanted Song Jingang to be a buffer between him and Dou Jiande, so that he could concentrate his forces to take Youzhou, and at the same time, Song Jingang could also contain Li Shimin's rear for himself, it was based on these two considerations that his existence was allowed, but Song Jingang was very cunning, and he asked him to send troops to Li Shimin's back three times, and he used the excuse of no food to move his troops, since he refused to obey his command, what was the point of leaving him, as time went by, it would become a hidden danger for himself.

Song Jingang was originally only cowering in Wangwu County, but he took the opportunity of his confrontation with Li Shimin to occupy Jiyuan County again, and yesterday received a report that Song Jingang annexed Ha Yang County to the south, and his strategy was obviously to encroach step by step, if he acquiesced, he would swallow the entire Hanoi County.

can no longer tolerate his presumptuousness, and just because he lacks troops, isn't Song Jingang's 30,000 troops a ready-made supplement?

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a long time, he walked out of the room and ordered: "Quickly order Xu Shiji and Luo Shixin to come to see me!" ”

Eight guards stood at the door of his official quarters, and one soldier then galloped away.

Half an hour later, Xu Shiji and Luo Shixin hurried over, after the establishment of the imperial court, the army also carried out a major reorganization, according to the Sui system temporarily set up the Eight Guards General, Yang Sien, Li Jing, Su Dingfang, Pei Xingyan, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Xu Shiji, Yang Wei and other eight people in charge of the Eight Guards Army, each guard quota is 30,000 people, but now there are only 10,000 troops, unified by the military and horse governor Yang Yuanqing commanded.

Xu Shiji served as the general of Zuo Xiaowei, and his 10,000 men were called the Leopard Cavalry Army, and Luo Shixin was appointed as the general of the Right Wuwei, and his 10,000 men were called Xiongqu Army.

The two of them walked into the room and knelt down on one knee, "See the manager!" ”

"You two come with me."

Yang Yuanqing took the two of them into the sand table of the military room, he picked up the wooden pole and pointed to Hanoi County, and said to the two: "I received an urgent report from Yang Ze, the Taishou of Hanoi County, that Song Jingang has captured Heyang County, so he has captured Wangwu, Jiyuan and Heyang counties, and his next goal must be to govern Hanoi County, so I decided to exterminate Song Jingang and use his army to supplement my military resources." ”

Luo Shixin and Xu Shiji, both of them showed anticipation in their eyes, Yang Yuanqing called them, and he must have entrusted them with important tasks.

Yang Yuanqing pointed to Taihang Mountain with a wooden pole again, and continued: "Hanoi County is blocked by Taihang Mountain, but there are three roads to pass, one goes to Jiyuan County, one goes to Jiyuan County, one goes to Taihang County to Hanoi County, and the other is Bai Cheng to Xinxiang County, among which Song Jingang has heavy troops in Jiguan Mountain, the two of you can lead the headquarters to Taihang Mountain and Bai Mountain, I will give you two months to take Hanoi County, Song Jingang will be arrested to see me regardless of life or death!" ”

The two of them knelt down on one knee at the same time and gave a military salute, "Obey orders!" ”
