Chapter 15
Chapter 15 Looks like a god
Although Yang Guang did not stay in Jiuyuan County and went directly to Dali City, his team was too large, and the 500,000 army stretched for 200 miles in a row, and it could not be completed for three days and three nights, and even Yang Guang had already finished his inspection and left Wuyuan County, and his rear army had just crossed the Yellow River and entered Wuyuan County.
Although when he went to inspect the grassland last year, Yang Guang once adopted the advice of Dingxiang Taishou Zhou Fashang and marched in a phalanx, but it was only suitable for the broad grassland, not for the Central Plains with complex mountains and rivers, and soon Yang Guang canceled the phalanx march.
The team surrounded the ** city, and began to go to the Dali City in the north, and more than 1,000 court officials were also mixed in the team, some in carriages, some on horses, and followed the team north without jīng.
Yu Wenhua and Shaoqing, as a servant, also followed among the main court officials, but compared to other court officials who did not have jīng, Yu Wenhua and the god Jīng were quite good, or he was a little nervous, and after entering Wuyuan County, he had been waiting for news restlessly.
In the next few days, his caravan will enter Wuyuan County to buy tea, and then go directly from Wuyuan to the Turks.
The reason why the caravan chose to go out of Wuyuan County was that since last year, Mayi County has increased the inventory of prohibited items, which is extremely risky, and this time, his caravan will carry 10,000 weapons into the Turks, and these 10,000 weapons can bring him a huge profit of 300,000 hanging money, no matter what, it is difficult for him to refuse.
On the side of Wuyuan County, because the emperor went on patrol, most of the army would be used to protect the emperor's safety, and the inventory of prohibited items would also be weakened.
Although he was a little jealous of Yang Yuanqing, the last time the iron shop was not investigated, the saint did not pursue it, and his courage became bigger and bigger, and more importantly, the huge profits brought by selling contraband made it difficult for him to resist, and méng blinded his reason and eyes.
Yu Wenhua has been restlessly waiting for news for the past two days, and the calculation time is almost up, and his heart is starting to get more and more nervous.
Just when Yu Wenhua and his heart were uneasy, the sound of war horses' hooves came from the distance, Yu Wenhua and Jīng God shook up, looked back, and saw a tiger guard officer in a crimson sè military uniform galloping over, it was his brother Yuwen Zhiji.
The Great Sui Dynasty reformed the military system last year, the original hussar military palace was changed to Yingyang Mansion, the hussar general was changed to Yingyang Lang General, the deputy general Che Cai General was changed to Yingyang Deputy Lang General, and the emperor's direct forbidden army was changed to Hu Benwei, Yuwen Zhihe is a Tiger Ben deputy general, from the fifth rank official.
Yu Wenhua was overjoyed when he saw his brother coming, so he left the team while the officials around him were not paying attention.
"Any news?"
Under the cover of a big flag, Yu Wenhua asked his brother in a low voice, Yu Wenzhi nodded with a smile, "It's going well, the caravan has entered Wuyuan County, divided into two parts, one part to buy tea, and the other part of the latte goods are waiting in Jiuyuan County, waiting for the tea to arrive, and the two teams will converge and leave the plug, there should be no problem." ”
Yu Wenhua thought for a while and said: "After all, this is Yang Yuanqing's territory, we have to guard against him, it is better to be careful, after the two teams converge, you take a few brothers to escort them out of the fortress, even if you encounter an interrogation, you can deal with it." ”
"Alright! I'm going to find a chance to leave tonight and try to get out of the team the day after tomorrow. ”
Yu Wenhua nodded, "This time it's a weapon, but you must not be careless." ”
The two brothers discussed for a while, and Yu Wenzhi turned his horse's head and went south, and when he got the news of the caravan, Yu Wenhua's heart finally let go.
......
In the evening, Yang Guang's ** city passed ten miles east of Jiuyuan County, although there was no intention to inspect Jiuyuan County, but it was too late, Yang Guang ordered to camp and leave again tomorrow morning.
**The city is loaded with gun cars, a gun car surrounds the **city twice, the dense spears on the car are external, which can effectively resist the impact of the cavalry, and the inner circle is sprinkled with thistles, even if the gun car is broken, the cavalry is difficult to move in the inner circle, not only that, the edge of the city is covered with chuáng crossbows, and the crossbow is placed on it, tied to the rope, as long as someone touches the rope, the crossbow machine will rotate, and the contact rope is shè, in addition, it is also surrounded by bell posts, mallets and stone chimes and other alarm items, Three thousand armor soldiers patrolled the city day and night in three shifts, and the security was extremely tight.
When the minister comes to see him, he must be led by a special person, and if he is not careful, he will die.
The team stopped camping, as early as an hour before the camp, Wei Siyun led hundreds of soldiers to send tens of thousands of cattle and sheep to the army, and sent dozens of barrels of fine peach wine and hundreds of barrels of horse nǎi wine, because the line was too long, most of the army had not yet entered Wuyuan County, and at this time only needed to supply the emperor, hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of troops in the vanguard.
There is a special kitchen camp in the army, and after receiving the food, they will start to slaughter cattle and sheep and prepare dinner, and when the team is set up camp, dinner is ready to stop, and a team of shì guards will send the barbecued beef and sheep ròu and wine cooked by jīng heart to the ** city and the camp tent of the hundred officials.
The hard work of the ministers lies in the fact that they are in a hurry during the day and have to concentrate on court affairs at night, and the emperor's patrol does not mean that the court stops running, because the main ministers follow the tour, it is actually a mobile court.
Ministers of the fifth rank and above could ride in the carriage and handle some official affairs in the carriage, but many official affairs need to be negotiated by many parties before they can be decided, so after the camp, the major camps are particularly lively, and the court officials are discussing with each other and expounding the opinions of their respective departments.
The temporary imperial court is composed of a large tent that can accommodate thousands of people and dozens of small tents, the big tent is made by Yu Wenkai, it can be called the king of the tent, even the throne of the Turks is only half the size of it, it is the temporary imperial court hall, surrounded by dozens of smaller tents that can accommodate hundreds of people like the stars and the moon, and each small tent is a temple.
At this time, the people in the various tents were full of people, some of the ministers were discussing court affairs, some were having dinner, there were constantly running tuǐ people from various departments in and out with the scripts, and there were soldiers who served food and walked into the tents with plates of food.
Yang Yuanqing found the big tent where the Ministry of Rites was located under the guidance of Pei Jin, a member of the Ministry of Rites, and at the mouth of the Big Tent, Yang Yuanqing unexpectedly met Gao Xi, who was demoted to the Ministry of Rites when he twice angered Emperor Yang Guang when he traveled north last year, but in fact, no one dared to call this respected old Xiangguo to do things, he was basically an idle job.
"Yuanqing!"
Gao Xi shouted at him in surprise, he had been depressed for more than a year, and he rarely had a smile on his face, but when he saw Yang Yuanqing unexpectedly today, a rare smile appeared on Gao Xi's face.
"What are you doing here?" Gao Xi asked with a smile.
Yang Yuanqing pointed to the big tent and smiled helplessly, "I'm going to see my father!" ”
Gao Xi long 'oh! With a sigh, the smile on his face became brighter, he pinched Yuanqing's shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's right, how can it really be a father and son turning against each other, which makes people criticize, half a year ago, Taishi Ling Yu Zhen and Neishi Shilang Xue Daoheng also jointly wrote a letter to impeach you, accusing you of being unfilial, causing a lot of public opinion in the DPRK and China, which is very unfavorable to you, I also want to find an opportunity to persuade you, you can realize that this problem is serious, that is the best." ”
Yang Yuanqing also heard of the impeachment case that happened in the capital half a year ago, and finally although the impeachment was suppressed by Emperor Yang Guang, it was not over, but Yang Yuanqing still felt a lot of pressure from it, and he has been in a dilemma, on the one hand, he knew that Emperor Yang Guang did not want him to return to the Yang family, and even when he was expelled from the clan, it was also related to Yang Guang.
But on the other hand, his father Yang Xuangan has expressed his remorse, but he refused to compromise and remained silent, which made him criticized, especially the major families were dissatisfied with him, thinking that he violated human ethics, on the one hand, the emperor's obstruction, and on the other hand, the pressure of the scholars, which made him in a dilemma, today Yang Lihua provided him with a compromise opinion, so that he could reconcile with his father on the surface, at least on the face, to avoid criticism from outsiders, Yang Yuanqing accepted this plan, if he wants to get the support of the scholars in the future, he must learn to compromise.
Although he also knew that this compromise might displease Yang Guang, in the long run, he still decided to reconcile with his father on the surface.
He nodded and said, "I should see my father to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
Gao Xi was relieved: "I'll see my father later, come to my tent, I want to talk to you." ”
"Wait a minute! I will definitely come! ”
Gao Xi smiled and patted him on the shoulder, turned around and left, Yang Yuanqing looked at Gao Gong's back that had been thin into a handful of bones, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, in history, Gao Gong seemed to have been killed last year, but he didn't know why he survived?
Yang Yuanqing really didn't know that it was he who changed Gao Xi's fate, in the three years of the great cause in history, Gao Xi and He Ruobi discussed that Yang Guang treated the Turks too well, which caused Yang Guang to be angry, and took the opportunity to kill Gao Ying, He Ruobi and Yu Wenbi for slandering the court, but because He Ruobi died early, and Yu Wenbi became afraid to speak because of the Dugu Luo case, the discussion did not happen, and Gao Xi escaped the death of the great cause for three years, and was only demoted.
There is a small tent connected together behind the big tent of the Ministry of Rites, which is dedicated to Shangshu to deal with court affairs, at this time, Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is having dinner in the small tent, and compared with the high spirits of a few years ago, he has become silent and a lot older.
Although the Yang family fought for the title, Yang Xuangan did not officially get the Duke of Chu in the end, and only got a fake Duke of Chu, that is, an unofficial Duke of Chu.
In addition to not being able to get his wish in the title, Yang Guang treated him well in other aspects, he inherited his father Situ's loose official, and the official was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
But Yang Xuangan knew in his heart that this was actually a soft and hard strategy of the saint, there were too many of his father's old officials in the court, and the saint wanted to suppress the Yang family, but he didn't dare to go too far, and promoted him as a cover on the surface, but behind his back, he severely attacked the Yang family, his second uncle Yang Yue was dismissed for worshipping the tomb of his brother, and several cousins were also dismissed, and when the second uncle was terminally ill last year, he was reappointed as the Taishou of Xiyang County, and soon the second uncle died of illness.
The emperor's grace on the surface and the suppression and suspicion behind the scenes made Yang Xuangan very depressed in his heart, coupled with the fact that the eldest son Yang Jun had served as the county magistrate of Shangdang for many years, but he had not been promoted, and the second son Yang Rong was not angry and became a gentleman, and the sense of loss that had grown over time made Yang Xuangan feel resentful of Yang Guang in his heart, but he didn't dare to have the slightest expression, so he had to press it in his heart and be depressed all day long.
Seeing Wuyuan County, Yang Xuangan thought of his son Yang Yuanqing again, thought of his father's constant care for Yuanqing, thought of his own eyes, and discarded the pearl, as he grew older, he began to recall all kinds of indifference to Yang Yuanqing when he was a child, which made him feel more and more remorseful in his heart, and he was depressed all day today.
At this time, one of them stepped forward to salute, "Report to the book, Chief Yang asks to see!" ”
Yang Xuangan didn't react for a while, so he asked strangely, "Which Yang is in charge?" ”
With a wry smile, Suo Xìng said directly, "It's Yuanqing Gongzi!" ”
"Ahh
Yang Xuan stood up suddenly, he was a little stunned, is Yuan Qing here?
He sat down slowly again, he still felt incredible, like a dream, but he was only dazed for a moment, and then immediately said, "Quick! Invite him in. ”
After a while, Yang Yuanqing walked into the back tent, he glanced at his father with complicated eyes, his feelings for his father have been very weak since he was a child, to some extent, his grandfather Yang Su replaced the horn of his father in his heart, but in any case, this is his biological father, and he has a common bloodline.
He stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Yuanqing sees my father!"
Yang Xuan felt an unspeakable bitterness in his heart, but his son still refused to kneel to him.
"Yuanqing, sit down!"
Yang Xuangan didn't dare to be annoyed by his son's non-kneeling, he would be dissatisfied before, but now he won't, he knew in his heart that Yang Yuanqing's willingness to come to see him was already a compromise, if he put on his father's shelf again, in the end they would still break up unhappily.
Yang Yuanqing sat down, and Yang Xuangan smiled again and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
"Not yet! I'll talk about it later. ”
"Let's eat together!"
Yang Xuangan immediately said, "Come in with another meal!" ”
Yang Yuanqing did not refuse, and soon, he served a meal, and the other two brought a small table, Yang Yuanqing sat on the ground, and asked with a smile: "How does my father feel about the food here?" ”
Yang Xuangan smiled and nodded, "If you can eat cow ròu, this is the mouth blessing, everyone praises this, in the Central Plains, slaughter cattle at will, first cane sixty and then punish the crime, and only the side plug can taste it." ”
Yang Xuangan asked with concern: "This northern tour, has it caused a lot of pressure on Wuyuan County, I mean offering food." ”
After all, Yang Xuangan is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he knows very well that the food sacrifice has brought a deep disaster to the local area, when he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, he actually bankrupted all the peasants within two hundred miles on both sides of the canal, this kind of food sacrifice made every minister worried, many people think that this is because Luoyang is short of food, and the saint is forced to think of a solution, eating the place, although it is a bit absurd, but Yang Xuangan also feels that there is some reason.
Yang Yuanqing bowed slightly and said, "It's okay!" After all, Wuyuan County relies on the grassland, and can get cattle and sheep from the grassland, and we exchange tea for it, which basically solves this problem. ”
Yang Xuangan glanced at Yang Yuanqing and said lightly: "Aren't you afraid that someone will impeach you Sītong Turkic?" ”
