Chapter 1 Humerus (Part 1)

When the memoranine carefully prepared by Shou Yuhe of Shanggu County was delivered to Yang Guang, the Great Sui Emperor, after several turnovers, the time was already the next night. Yang Guang grabbed it from a pile of folds, glanced at it cursoryly, and immediately showed a smile on his face, and then, his smile became thicker and thicker, and suddenly, the laughter burst out like a flood breaking the embankment, shaking the window paper and buzzing.

"Oh no, we're guessing the wrong holy will!" Yu Shiji, the waiter of the inner history, was frightened, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Ueya's remarks were examined by him before being placed on the imperial case, and although it was not exactly the same as his initial hint, it was basically in line with the results of the saint's needs. But I don't know for what reason, the emperor actually burst into such a poignant laugh when he saw it. That is by no means an auspicious omen, although His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor is very tolerant of his favored courtiers, it does not mean that he will not find an excuse to kill people when he is angry. In fact, His Majesty the Emperor punished those who offended his majesty without mercy.

"Could it be that the emperor no longer intends to reuse the loyal and brave uncle? Then why did he keep this person around! Yu Shiji lowered his head and thought wonderingly. In the past two years, especially since the defeat of Liaodong last year, His Majesty's mind has become more and more difficult to guess. To describe it in a rebellious word, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is moody. For Yu Shiji, who does not have the position of servant but exercises the right to serve and shoot, this is tantamount to invisibly increasing the pressure on his auxiliary government. Because Lord Yu is different from other ministers such as Yuwenshu, Pei Ju, and Pei Yun, he does not have a fixed political goal, and speculating on the emperor's mind is the first priority in his mind.

"Haha, good, hahaha, what a Yu county guard who can be an official!" Yang Guang folded the music in his palm and held it in a ball, laughing while pounding the bookcase hard. The loud noise alarmed many people, and the samurai standing outside the door even held the hilt of their swords, and as soon as His Majesty spoke, they immediately rushed out and captured some unlucky ghost who did not open his eyes for interrogation.

Yu He is Yu Shiji's nephew, and Lord Yu, the servant of the Inner History, can't bear to watch his nephew unlucky. Taking advantage of the fact that His Majesty the Emperor had not yet made the decision to take people, he secretly used his eyes to send a distress signal to Wen Yao, the old eunuch who was standing next to the imperial case and holding a silver charcoal stove for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is careful that he is angry!" Wen Jia glared at Yu Shiji angrily, and then lowered his voice to advise. He didn't care much about the rights and wrongs of the DPRK and China, but he was more concerned about Yang Guang's personal well-being. Since the year before last, Wen Yao, who has been with Yang Guang since childhood, obviously feels that His Majesty around him has aged down. No, the imperial family should not be called aging, but should be said to be more stable, but His Majesty's spirit is indeed much worse than before, and the whole person does not look as optimistic and ambitious as before. On a few occasions, Wen Yao even saw His Majesty the Emperor secretly crying, secretly crying in places where others could not see, like a wronged child.

Wen Jia knew that he shouldn't think about His Majesty the Emperor like this, but he really felt that His Majesty the Emperor was pitiful sometimes. In recent years, God has not opened his eyes, and disasters have come to the Great Sui Dynasty one after another. First of all, the crown prince made His Majesty taste the pain of separation of flesh and blood. Then Liaodong was defeated, then Yang Xuangan rebelled, and then Yu Hangmin and Liu Yuanjin raised troops, and Peng Xiaocai, a native of the East China Sea, gathered people to be thieves. Recently, more than 20 gangs of thieves of all sizes, such as Song Zixian, Men Xiang Haiming, Du Fuwei, Fu Gongyou, and Miao Haichao, have appeared. I don't know why, the people who have always been weak suddenly became violent, and one by one compared the business of Saigan, which is even the nine clans.

And this Manchu Dynasty civil and military is not worry-free, today you bite me, tomorrow I will pinch you. finally came up with a Li Lang general who suited His Majesty's wishes, and was held in the hands of these treacherous and cunning guys as a knife.

"Angry, what do I have to be angry about." Yang Guang laughed enough, threw Yu He's music into the corner of the room, and said loudly. "General Li Lang's mentor is not Yang Ji, the old man surnamed Yang is just an ordinary teacher in the county, and he has no ability. I was thinking about how to deal with Li Lang's guilt for privately repaying his teacher's kindness, and once this piece of music came up, did I still need to worry about it? ”

"This Shanggu County Shou must not know the inside story, and was fooled by the people below. The minister immediately sent someone to pry him, and he must find out about this matter! Yu Shiji stepped forward and made a guarantee.

Pei Ju, the squire of the Yellow Gate, was ordered to pacify the barbarians in the area on the right side of the ridge, and most of the current heavy responsibility for Yang Guang fell on Yu Shiji and Pei Yun, the imperial historian. And that Pei Yun is a guy who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and this time the imperial historians impeached Yu Wenshu, he was behind his back. This person is tossing around like this, which makes Yiyi want to be with Yu Shiji very big. On Yuwenshu's side, Yu Shiji felt that he couldn't afford to be guilty. And those Yanguan and the Pei family, Yu Shiji didn't want to provoke too much. That's why he came up with a nondescript twist, but it touched Tianwei.

"No, he's doing a great job!" Yang Guang waved his hand, and the tone of his speech made it impossible to tell whether it was praise or ridicule. "Yu Shiji, this Yu He belongs to your Yu family, he is such a good person, why don't you let the officials promote his position again?"

"Ministers don't dare to show favoritism" Yu Shiji's face became more and more pale, three points whiter than the snow outside the window. His Majesty the Emperor is really angry this time, but what did he do wrong? He couldn't figure it out. According to yesterday's speculation, His Majesty the Emperor clearly did not want to hold either side of the dispute responsible. Why, by this evening, he had completely changed his hexagram.

"Why don't you dare, don't you avoid relatives when you move inside, and don't you avoid revenge when you move outside?" The corners of Yang Guang's mouth curled slightly, and he continued to sneer. "If I hadn't known in advance, it is estimated that your family would have written Yang Ji as a miscellaneous person in the county school, or simply told me that there was no such person in the county school of Yi County. Save everyone from worrying! ”

"Minister, minister go check in person, go check in person!" Yu Shiji couldn't wait to kneel on the ground, hugging Yang Guang's thighs and begging for forgiveness. Your Majesty is not angry that Yu He exonerated Li Xu, Your Majesty is angry and everyone is talking nonsense with their eyes open. But what good is it to tell the emperor the truth? General Li Lang has already released the person, and the responsibility can be light or heavy. And Yuwenshu Lao Pifu and Li Lang didn't dwell too much on this matter. The reason why Yu Wenshu kicked the little ghost of the Li family out of the Xiongwu camp was that the other party was arrogant and contemptuous of his boss. The little ghost surnamed Li did even more desperately, and ran all the way to Jixian County to meet the emperor's car, not shouting grievances, not complaining, just saying that his wounds were healed and he was idle, so he specially came to the emperor's side to listen to the dispatch.

Yang Guang's answer was a deep sigh, "Forget it, this matter ends here." He stood up and paced lightly around the room. When Li Xu appeared in the ranks of the early dynasty, he guessed that the little guy had planted his head at the hands of the old foxes in the army. At that time, he had already received three memos, one of which was written by Yu Wenshi and about the specific process of Liyang's two offensive and defensive battles and the aftermath of the treatment. The horse asked for credit for Li Xu many times in the performance, believing that without this person's keen grasp of the battle situation and fearless life and death in battle, Liyang City would not be able to take it at all, and it would be impossible to hold it afterwards.

The second memo comes from Yuwenshu, and the old general "very generously" recorded the first merit of the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass on Li Xu's head. At the same time, he explained the reason for letting Li Xu go home to recuperate from his injuries, on the one hand, because he cherished his talent and couldn't bear to fight with his injuries. On the other hand, it is for the long-term consideration of the Great Sui, to put a stop to the arrogance of the young man, so that he can be more useful in the future.

The third memo was written by General Laihu'er, who vigorously promoted Li Xu to the imperial court, believing that the young man was both wise and brave, and was a rare pillar of talent. The specific reason is this person's performance in the Battle of Tiger Prison, Lai Hu'er thinks that the former right Wuhou general Li Zixiong is cunning and treacherous, thanks to Li Xu's tricks, to ensure that the Great Sui army has not fallen into the hands of traitors.

"These old guys, just mess around, why bother to pull an ignorant little guy!" Yang Guang thought so at the time. The reason why Yuwenshu suddenly became generous and did not take all the credit was presumably because Laihu'er and others pushed Li Xu out to make trouble. The twists and turns of Lai Hu'er clearly said that Yuwenshu made a mistake in using his troops, and he was saved from a defeat by remedying it in time thanks to the Xiongwu Battalion.

Yang Guang was not angry at that time. It is the tradition of the Great Sui that the generals poured into each other. From a royal point of view, he also didn't want the old generals under his command to be too united. As for Li Xu's exclusion, Yang Guang didn't plan to investigate it deeply. Anyway, the little guy's official position is still there, and he has made a new meritorious service, and when he returns to Luoyang to reward his meritorious deeds, he will be promoted to a knight, and then re-awarded a real vacancy.

But a few days after Li Xu appeared, things became complicated. The imperial historians took turns to go to the book and impeach Yuwen for misleading the country and with ill intentions. And several officials who were close to the Yuwen family fought back and impeached Li Xu for distributing military rations and buying people's hearts. The battle between the two sides became more and more intense, and as a result, many secrets hidden in private were revealed. Yang Guang checked again, only to find that there was no good person among the ministers!

The matter was not provoked by Li Xu, he, a five-rank general who only had the opportunity to go to court six times a month, had no friendship with the officials, and he was not able to set off such a big storm. According to Yang Guang's inference, the mastermind behind the scenes should be Pei Yun, the imperial historian, Xiao Yu, etc. These guys have long been jealous of the power of the Yuwen family, and fighting for Li Xu's revenge is just a cover for them to deal with outsiders.

In this regard, Yang Guang has long been accustomed to it. The ministers restrain each other, so that it is more convenient for the monarch to control. But everyone left a lot of state affairs alone, and it was unbearable for him to tear each other down regardless of time and importance. He decided to pay attention to this matter personally, and through the specific performance in the process of handling this matter, to see who among the ministers was more loyal, and which one was more concerned about the affairs of the court than his own affairs.

Moreover, these people are all on the guise of high-sounding reasons.

I am the Great Sui, it turns out to be like this! Yang Guang felt that his heart was very cold, colder than the ice and snow outside. He remembered that his father told him on his deathbed that Su Wei, Yang Xiong, and Pei Ju were all good ministers, and Gao Ying, Yu Wenshu, and Li Zixiong were all famous generals. As a result, these good ministers and famous generals either betrayed themselves, or they became inactive, only knowing how to fight for power.

"Is it true that I am not blessed?" Yang Guang hatefully pushed the guards away, stretched out his hand to open the window, and the fluttering snowflakes were blown in by the wind, rolling his face all over the place.

Alcoholic note: I got a sample book of "Guidebook", which is not bad. I hope that readers who like the book will buy the genuine version and support it. Thank you very much.
