Chapter 9 The situation is quietly changing

The Zhongyuan Festival of the fourth year of the great cause is gradually coming, Luoshui began to have officials in the arrangement of the yin lanterns, the gods of the major temples have also been invited out, decorated with flags, dragon umbrellas, and the mansions of the various magnates are also preparing the Yulan treasure pot as always, ready to compete with the Buddha light to win, this year's Zhongyuan Festival did not have the King of Qi, the Leping Princess Mansion did not participate in the Yulan Buddha light the year before and last year, without these two strong opponents, the rest of the major magnates are gearing up, ready to compete on the eve of the Zhongyuan Dynasty.

The Midyear Festival is also the deadline for the Yiwu War, and on this morning, Yang Yuanqing's recital was finally sent to Yang Guang's imperial case.

‘．．．．． His Majesty the Emperor, the soldiers used their lives, the ministers outwitted Yiwu, and took the country of Yiwu without wounding a single soldier.....

"Well done!"

Yang Guang applauded, he stood up excitedly, paced back and forth in the room with his hands, and won the Yiwu country, which means that he equaled the achievements of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, and the stagnation of the previous dynasty in Yumen Pass was finally broken by him, although Yang Yuanqing easily won the Yiwu country, but this breakthrough is of great significance.

The news that Yang Yuanqing brought to him was enough to make him feel happy for a mid-year festival, this was the second good news about the Western Regions he received in three days, the day before, he had just received the news from Xiping County, the Khan of Qibi agreed to Pei Ju's request, and led the Tiele coalition army to defeat Tuyuhun in the west, Tuyuhun Khan Fuyun sent a messenger to Xiping County, expressing his willingness to surrender to the Great Sui, and begged the Great Sui to send troops to aid Tuyuhun.

And today, Yang Yuanqing occupied the Yiwu country and cut off the rescue road of the Western Turks, which means that his strategy of encircling Tuyuhun has been more than half successful.

Yang Guang paced back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his back, and he had a doubt in his heart, Tuyuhun should have asked the Western Turks for help, and asked the Western Turks to send troops to put pressure on Tiele, and his crisis would naturally be resolved, why would he ask the Sui Dynasty for help?

Moreover, the Sui Dynasty sent troops to attack the Yiwu Kingdom, in terms of time and distance, Tuyuhun will definitely know one step ahead of himself, then Tuyuhun Khan should understand the strategy of the Sui Dynasty, and he also ran to the Sui Dynasty for help, isn't this just seeking skin with the tiger?

Yang Guang deduced from some common sense that he faintly sensed that Tuyuhun was not at ease, perhaps this was his strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao, defeat the Sui army first, so that the Sui Dynasty's encirclement strategy failed, and Tuyuhun's crisis of annihilation was solved, as it should be.

Thinking of this, Yang Guang immediately ordered: "Quickly summon Yu Wenshu and Yang Xiong to see me!" ”

Yang Guang made a decision at this time, he wanted to take the plan and defeat Tuyuhun in one fell swoop.

After a while, Yuwenshu came to the imperial study first, bowed and saluted, "Chen Yuwenshu see Your Majesty!" ”

Since Yuwenshu was convicted of his two sons, he has been very low-key, rarely speaks in the court, and he is also respectful when he meets important ministers, changing his previous arrogance and rudeness, in layman's terms, he is being a man with his tail between his legs.

Yang Guang has been observing Yuwenshu, Yuwenshu has always been loyal to him, he has supported him since he was the king of Jin, and he has seen the hearts of the people for a long time, Yang Guang has always missed Yuwenshu very much, and more importantly, Yuwenshu is his only in-law, and he can't do too much to his in-laws.

In fact, Yang Guang's meanness is one for two, he is very mean to the royal family, very mean to the Guanlong nobles, and very mean to Yang Su's descendants, but he is also very tolerant of some old people and southern courtiers, such as Yu Shiji of the southern department, after a few years of dethronement, with the king of Qi being imprisoned, Yu Shiji was reused, and once again served as the servant of the internal history, and entered the cabinet as the minister, which is also a means for Yang Guang to balance the power of the imperial court.

The Yuanshou of the Guanlong system replaced Zhang Jin into the cabinet, and Li Yuan was too troubled to repair the Fenyang Palace, and was transferred back to Beijing to be promoted to the young eunuch in the palace, so that the power of the Guanlong system was slightly strengthened, and the northern scholar clan had Shuangpei in charge, and the power has been very strong, and the southern department with the death of Xiao Cong, the strength has been greatly reduced, according to the principle of Liang and Chen alternately, the person who replaced Xiao Cong should be the old minister of the Chen Dynasty, Yang Guang looked for it, and finally locked his eyes on Yu Shiji, this is his most trusted minister, he was convicted of his wife, and he has no fault, Yang Guang recalled Yu Shiji back to Beijing, and the official was reinstated.

Yang Guang was also ready to use him again for Yuwen in front of him, Yang Guang smiled slightly: "General Yuwen, how are your two sons?" ”

Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi and now both gave Yu Wenshu as slaves, and Yu Wenshu hurriedly reported: "The ministers dare not treat them well, they guard the rice warehouse for the ministers, work with the servants, eat brown rice, and have been greatly restrained than before, and the ministers dare not intercede for them." ”

Yang Guang took Yang Yuanqing's recital, handed it to Yuwenshu, and sighed: "The same old minister of mine, Yang Su's grandson is much stronger than your two sons, look at what Yang Yuanqing did in the Western Regions, why can't the Yuwen family produce a young general who shares my worries, and also want you, a veteran, to come out." ”

Yu Wenshu knelt on the ground and cried: "The minister has given them brocade clothes and jade food since childhood, and has developed an arrogant nature, and the minister regrets it too late!" ”

"Get up!"

Yang Guang smiled, "But Shiji is still good, although he is from the literature, but the future is immeasurable, I will slowly improve him, now I have an important matter to hand over to you, do this well, I will reinstate your position as a general." ”

Yu Wenshu was so excited that he kowtowed, "I am willing to smear your majesty's liver and brain, and die!" ”

"Good! I ordered you to be the commander of the march of Xiping Road, and lead an army of 30,000 out of Xiping County to attack Tuyuhun, but not too deep into the enemy's territory, and defeat it. ”

"Obey the order!"

At this time, at this time, Yang Xiong, the king of Ande, also responded to the edict, and he gave a deep salute, "Minister Yang Xiong sees Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Xiong is the brother of Yang Guang, and the founding father of the Great Sui, the current Jing Zhaoyin, he is also a brave and warlike general, although there are four out of sixty, but the sword is not old.

Yang Guang also immediately said: "Tuyuhun surrendered by deception, I want to plan and defeat his main force in one fell swoop, I have appointed General Yuwen as the head of Xiping Road, and now I will appoint you as the head of the watering river march army, and lead the army of 20,000 to attack Tuyuhun from the side, just defeat it, not go deep." ”

"Chen Yang Xiong obeys the order!"

．．．．．．．

Yang Xiong and Yu Wenshu walked out of the Xuanzheng side hall, and Yang Xiong arched his hand and smiled: "Congratulations to Gong Xu for being reused." ”

Yuwen Shujue named Xu Guogong, Xu Gong is his honorific title, he sighed slightly, "I'd rather my son can be used again, we are all old, and now it is the world of young people!" ”

Yu Wenshu thought that Yang Yuanqing was actually appointed as the head of the Yumen Road march, and he was already able to take charge of himself, and his son was still a slave in the rice warehouse, and he was extremely disappointed in his heart.

Yang Xiong's son Yang Gongren is currently a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and his other sons are very powerful, and his other sons are all mixed well, even the nineteen-year-old youngest son Yang Shidao is also both civil and military, quite popular with the saints, and now he is the head of the palace in the palace.

Yang Xiong knew that Yuwenshu was sad for his two sons, so he comforted him, "Duke Xu doesn't have to worry, those who achieve great things will have many setbacks, although Yang Yuanqing is proud now, he may not be able to die well, isn't his grandfather the best example?" ”

Yang Xiong was Yang Su's deputy when he was in Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Empire, and his relationship with Yang Su was not good, so although Yang Yuanqing was good, he didn't approve of it, and Yang Yuanqing's excellence overshadowed his son Yang Shidao of the same age, and he also had a little jealousy in his heart, and there was a little provocation between his words.

Yu Wenshu has already learned enough lessons, although he hates Yang Yuanqing in his heart, he will never come out again, he only smiled faintly: "Lord Wang, let's discuss the use of troops against Tuyuhun!" Don't lose to juniors. ”

The junior he said was Yang Yuanqing, Yang Xiong smiled, "Okay!" When you go to my house, I will invite Yu Zhongwen to the staff again, and we will discuss it carefully. ”

．．．．．．

Yang Guang has always been very taboo about the Guanlong nobles, and always spares no effort to suppress them, but out of the need for a balance of power, he also needs to add a Guanlong nobleman to the cabinet, first Dugu Luo, then Zhang Jin, and now it is Yuanshou's turn.

Taifu Qing Yuanshou was appointed as the internal history order a month ago, and entered the cabinet as the minister, so that the Yuan family began to enter the upward channel, and another important figure of the Yuan family, Yuan Hongsi, has also been serving as the governor of Youzhou, with a high and powerful position, making the Yuan family's position in the court become pivotal.

Of course, this is related to King Qi's fornication with the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, Yang Guang felt guilty about the Yuan family, and the Yuan family had a grudge against his daughter-in-law Wei, and hated it, but it was precisely because of her derailment that the Yuan family came to work, which made the Yuan family unexpected.

In the evening, Yuan Shou had already gone down to the court and was sitting in the study reading a book, when the voice of the third son Yuan Min came from outside the door, "Father, Young Eunuch Li is visiting!" ”

Young eunuch Li Yuan is the young eunuch Li Yuan in the palace, he has come to visit several times, but he was rejected by Yuan Shou, Yuan Shou has always been angry with Li Yuan for his nephew Yuan Shangying was killed, when Yuan Zhou was executed, the last words he left was to ask him to take care of his son, but he did not fulfill his responsibilities, resulting in Yuan Shangying being killed by Yang Yuanqing, which has made him feel very sorry for several months, and also made him hate Yang Yuanqing to the core.

Li Yuan is Yang Yuanqing's accomplice he identified, in the past few months, whether Li Yuan wrote a letter to explain, or came to visit, he ignored it, the situation at that time was very clear, Yang Yuanqing and Li Yuan had common interests, and their relationship had always been good, so in order to protect the construction period of Fenyang Palace, Yang Yuanqing and Li Yuan must have conspired to get rid of Yuan Shangying.

Now that his nephew has been killed, Li Yuan has come to the door again to apologize, wanting to reconcile with the Yuan family, how can there be such a cheap thing, Yuan Shou waved his hand extremely impatiently, "Tell him, no!" ”

Yuan Min listened to his father's tough tone, helpless, had to turn around and walk towards the door of the house, Yuan Min is a palace guard, and Li Yuan's son-in-law Chai Shao has a very good relationship, he was entrusted by Chai Shao, to Li Yuan to find a chance to reconcile with his father, these two days he saw that he was in a good mood, so he secretly told Chai Shao, let Li Yuan visit, but his father's attitude was still tough, so he was a little helpless.

Yuan Min hurriedly came to the front of the mansion, and saw Li Yuan's father and son looking at each other, their eyes were full of anticipation, so he had to sigh, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Uncle Shi, I'm sorry, my father still refuses to see me, let's wait a while!" When that thing fades away, I'll give it another chance. ”

Li Yuan's face swelled with infinite disappointment, today he came with expectations, but he still ate a closed door, the Yuan family is the leader of the Guanlong nobles, and Yuan Shou entered the cabinet again, if he does not untie this knot with the Yuan family, it will be difficult for the Li family to gain a foothold among the Guanlong nobles in the future, Li Yuan sighed and said helplessly: "Okay! Thank you Yuangongzi. ”

At this time, Yuan Min suddenly remembered someone, and hurriedly said: "My father attaches great importance to Uncle Honghei, and I heard that he is also reporting in Beijing, so it is better for Uncle Shi to find him first." ”

Li Yuan frowned, he didn't have any friendship with Yuan Hongsi, how to find him, at this time, the eldest son Jiancheng gently touched his father's hand in the back, Li Yuan woke up, and said with a smile: "Then don't bother, I'll leave!" ”

After getting into the carriage, Li Yuan asked Jiancheng with some complaint: "How can you let me go to Yuan Hongji?" I have no friendship with him. ”

Li Jiancheng smiled slightly: "Although my father has no friendship with him, my uncle has a relationship with him. ”

One sentence reminded Li Yuan that when his wife Dou Kang, the elder brother of the Dou family, was the governor of Youzhou, Yuan Hongsi was the chief of his subordinates, and the relationship between the two was extremely deep.

Li Yuan slapped his forehead and laughed, "How did I forget this path." ”

He immediately instructed the coachman, "Go to Dou Mansion!" ”
