, Chapter 423 Flank Layout

The sky gradually brightened, Yang Yuanqing stood on the side of the boat, looking at the desolate and dilapidated Yongji Canal on both sides, along the way for dozens of miles, he could hardly see a person, only saw a collapsed thatched house, the grass grew taller than a person, and occasionally there were a few skinny wild dogs foraging in the grass.

"You see it! This is the Great Sui after he ascended the throne. ”

I don't know when, Gao Gong appeared behind Yang Yuanqing, after a night's rest, Gao Gong's complexion was much better, no longer as weak and pale as last night, although he was nearly seventy years old, he was still in good spirits, but at this time his face was full of grief and indignation.

"Do you know what the people on both sides of the strait say about him? How sad is that the king of Hades passes by like mowing grass, and the little imps pass by like cramps, and you see, the people under his rule call him Hades. ”

Gao Gong thought that his clansmen were ruined, but he couldn't do anything, thinking that Qi County was killed and looted overnight, thinking that the prosperity of the Great Sui was no longer in the past, looking at the decline on both sides of the strait, Gao Gong couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and the old tears were rampant, he couldn't help but raise his arms and exclaimed: "What a faint king!" If Prince Yong ascends the throne, why is there today's disaster? ”

Yang Yuanqing was silent, and after a long time, he hugged Gao Gong and said, "Pavilion Lao, the river is cold, go to the cabin!" ”

Gao Gong's heart was heartbroken, trembling and being helped into the cabin by Yang Yuanqing, he sat down, but grabbed Yang Yuanqing's hand, looked at him and said: "Yuanqing, overthrow this faint monarch and set up a new monarch!" ”

Yang Yuanqing sighed, "Pavilion Elder, Goryeo was defeated, his prestige was lost, and the Great Sui was already full of mountains and rains, so we should wait and see what happened and conform to the will of heaven." ”

"Are there any important ministers who want to rebel?" Gao Gong was so wise, he immediately heard the meaning of Yang Yuanqing's words and looked at him.

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "The Guanlong nobles are ready to move, it is estimated that within next year, someone will take the lead in rebellion, but I don't know who it will be?" ”

Gao Gong pondered for a moment and said: "With my understanding of Dugu Zhen, it is unlikely that the Dugu clan will rebel, but it is the Yuan clan, if Yuan Shou does not die, it must be the Yuan clan that will take the lead first." ”

"Does the elder think Yuanshou is dead?"

Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, "Isn't Yuanshou dead?" ”

"At least I didn't see him die, in fact, no one saw him die, but his family reported the funeral and said that he died in Beiping County, but no one in Beiping County saw it, not even Taishou Wei Yunqi didn't know, does the elder think he died?"

Gao Gong frowned, could it be that Yuanshou was cheating to death?

At this time, Gao Gong remembered something again, he glanced at Yang Yuanqing, there was some hesitation in his eyes, but he still sighed lightly and said to Yang Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, you might as well pay attention to your father, he is also very dangerous." ”

Yang Yuanqing showed a bitter smile on his face, even Gao Gong knew that his father Yang Xuangan was going to rebel?

Gao Gong shook his head slightly and said: "In fact, your grandfather once had a heart of disobedience, and the first emperor also noticed it, on the one hand, he used your grandfather very much, but on the other hand, he was very wary, why is he so jealous of your Yang family today, the root is still in your grandfather, Yuanqing, you have to persuade your father well, don't be a bird of the head, otherwise it will affect you." ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, Gao Gong patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, "Go ahead!" Let me, a bad old man, think about it, how can I help you? ”

Yang Yuanqing left Gao Gong's room, Gao Gong looked at his back, he could feel that Yang Yuanqing's heart was full of contradictions, he couldn't help but sigh lowly, if Yuanqing was a royal family, how good it would be!

As soon as Yang Yuanqing walked out of the cabin, a personal soldier ran forward and said, "General, someone on the shore is shouting, it seems to be General Fat Saburo!" ”

"Yang Wei!"

Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed in his heart, and walked quickly to the side of the boat, only to see a camel rider on the east bank waving and shouting to his boat, the unique camel symbol and huge body, it was not Yang Wei, Yang Yuanqing smiled: "The boat is docked, let him come up." ”

The big ship slowly docked, and in a moment, Yang Wei and his camel were hoisted onto the big boat, Yang Wei walked to Yang Yuanqing and knelt down on one knee, panting and said: "The last general Yang Wei, see the general!" ”

"Why are you here?" Yang Yuanqing asked a little strangely.

"Returning to the general, he returned to the capital from Fengzhou to go through the formalities, and then went to Dongping County, and then went north along the canal, observing the ships all the way."

Yang Yuanqing heard that he went to Dongping County, and knew it, so he gave him a look, "Follow me!" ”

The two walked into Yang Yuanqing's cabin and sat down, Ah Lian came in with two cups of tea, retreated, and closed the door for them.

Yang Yuanqing then asked, "What is the situation in Dongping County?" ”

"Uncle already has 28,000 troops in his hands, and the situation is not good."

Yang Wei told Yang Yuanqing the information he got one by one, and took out the booklet given by his father from his arms, and handed it to Yang Yuanqing, Yang Yuanqing opened the booklet and looked at it, so that he had to marvel at the wealth of the Yang family, and after a year, only grain bought 500,000 stones from the south one after another.

"Father said that there are two small islands in Juyezawa, and the uncle has a warehouse on the island, which is heavily guarded, and it is estimated that the grain is on the island."

Yang Yuanqing paced back and forth in the cabin with his hands behind his back, repeatedly considering the situation in Dongping County, he could no longer stop his father Yang Xuangan's rebellion, and now he had only one way, try to delay Yang Xuangan's rebellion, and drag his rebellion to the Guanlong nobles, the situation would be much more favorable.

He pondered for a long time, then sat down and wrote a letter, sealed the letter, handed it to Yang Wei and said with a smile: "This time, I will work hard for you again, and give this letter to my master Zhang Xutuo." ”

Yang Wei had been running outside for months, but he didn't hesitate to take the letter, "Go now!" ”

Yang Yuanqing ordered someone to prepare dry food for Yang Wei to wrap around, Yang Wei got off the boat again, Yang Yuanqing stood on the side of the boat and watched Yang Wei go away, and there was a glimmer of hope in his heart, whether he could drag Yang Xuangan from rebelling, it depended on how Master Zhang Xutuo cooperated with him.

．．．．．．．．．．．

Half a month later, before the river froze, Yang Yuanqing's boat finally sailed into the capital from Luoshui, when passing by Yanshi, he had quietly hidden Gao Gong in his manor, and ordered someone to take care of him, although Yang Guang had stopped raising his weight in the past two years, and almost forgot him in the rivers and lakes, but Yang Yuanqing still didn't dare to be careless, and couldn't let Yang Guang know that Gao Gong was by his side.

In the morning, the boat slowly docked in front of a wharf, Ah Lian got into a carriage, and the soldiers escorted her back to the Yang Mansion first, Yang Yuanqing turned over and rode towards the palace under the escort of more than 100 personal soldiers.

．．．．．．．

At this time, it is the beginning of November, the weather is cold, a few days ago there has just been a heavy snowfall, the capital is covered in silver, the streets and alleys, the roof trees, are covered with a thick layer of snow, groups of children are playing snowball fights on the street, building snowmen, laughter, the whole capital is immersed in the expectation of the snow trillion year.

Yang Guang's imperial history room lit two braziers, so that the room is warm like spring, Yang Guang has been back in Beijing for almost a month, a battle of Goryeo from preparation to the end, almost took him two years, during this period he almost abandoned the government, now pick it up, he found that the dynasty is lax, there are many ills, and many things are not found by him to reverse.

For example, the household registration verification report of each county should be reported to the Ministry of Civil Affairs every year, but half of the counties and counties have not been reported this year, not only that, but among the counties and counties reported, the number of household registration in many counties is exactly the same as last year, which is obviously fooling the imperial court, even he Yang Guang knows very well that millions of people died in just one Liaodong battle, and there are bandits swarming from all over the country, is the government still running to the bandits to count the household registration?

If he still can't see the number of household registration, the deterioration of the tax, but he has a painful skin, last year's tax was sharply reduced by three percent compared with the year before last, and now it is the end of the year, so I don't know how much this year will be sharply reduced compared with last year?

Yang Guang was upset by these data, and more importantly, there were many ills and thousands of problems, so he didn't know where to start? He felt the need for another cabinet meeting for the prime ministers to discuss the matter.

At this time, Yang Guang picked up a note, signed by Li Yuan, the temporary governor of Zhuo County, he opened the note, only read two lines, and then his spirit was lifted, this turned out to be Li Yuan's impeachment of the former governor of Youzhou, Yuan Honghei, which made Yang Guang interested, and there was infighting among the nobles of Guanlong.

He flipped through a few pages, Li Yuan listed a total of the top ten crimes of Yuan Hongsi, nepotism, abuse of lynching, dereliction of duty, personal guard over-system, etc., each article is followed by a large number of examples, the facts are detailed, reasonable and well-founded, so that Yang Guang nodded again and again, and he couldn't see that Li Yuan was actually a person with a heart, so figuring out the holy will, during this time, Yang Guang was already thinking about doing something to Yuan Hongsi, but he couldn't find evidence of his crime.

Just wanted to sleep, Li Yuan sent a pillow, so that Yang Guang secretly appreciated, he couldn't help but look at Li Yuan, Li Yuan is timid and cowardly, the Li family belongs to the weak faction in the Guanlong aristocracy, he has always thought that Li Yuan is more wooden, this person is not happy, now it seems that Li Yuan has made great progress, he can't help but pick up the pen and write two words on Li Yuan's folds: 'Great goodness! ’

At this moment, a eunuch reported at the door, "Your Majesty, Chief Yang of Youzhou has arrived, waiting to see you outside the palace!" ”

This news made Yang Guang overjoyed, and he said repeatedly: "Announce his audience quickly!" ”

He didn't care about looking at Li Yuan's recital, put it aside, and after a while, the eunuch led Yang Yuanqing in, Yang Yuanqing stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "Minister Yang Yuanqing see Your Majesty!" ”

"When did Aiqing arrive in the capital?" Yang Guang's smile was very kind.

"Back to Your Majesty, as soon as the minister got off the boat, he went directly to the palace to meet the saint."

Yang Yuanqing knelt down and kowtowed, "The minister only makes a small merit, and he will be rewarded, and the minister is ashamed, thank Your Majesty for the reward!" ”

Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction, "It has always been my wish to seal you as the Duke of the Kingdom, just because you are not qualified, so it has dragged on until now, many of the noble children of my Great Sui are unemployed, but they have the Duke of the Kingdom, and you serve the country, you are born and died, and you have made a lot of meritorious contributions, if you don't seal you again, I am really uneasy, this is the result of meritorious service, you don't have to be ashamed, let's be flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Yuanqing stood up and said, "The minister has something to do with Your Majesty!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, bandits are rampant in Hejian County, the bandits are high and open the road to break through Lucheng County, loot and kill, Hejian Taishou Cui Pingyi has repeatedly asked the minister for help, but it is limited to the system, the minister does not dare to cross the border to suppress the bandits, the minister thinks, other counties are the same, there are no bandits in strong counties, bandits are rampant in weak counties, if the soldiers of strong counties are allowed to suppress bandits in weak counties, the minister thinks that it will greatly alleviate the banditry trouble."

Yang Yuanqing's meaning is a sentence, asking Yang Guang to issue an order to allow cross-border bandits.
