Chapter 4: Gancheng (Part 7b)

He didn't want to talk about anything unpleasant today, he just wanted to share happily some of the joy of the victory of the soldiers. In the past few years, he, the emperor, has been too tired and has never won any battle seriously. And this time, although the credit is mainly due to Qu Tutong, Yao Junsu and others, he, the emperor, is sitting in Yanmen after all, and he has been a bait in a down-to-earth manner, isn't he?

"Your Majesty is no longer the Majesty of the past!" Lai Hu'er and the others, who were going to step forward and speak out, shook their heads and swallowed all the words into their stomachs. On the way back from triumph, while rectifying the border defense, he did not forget how to ask His Majesty the Emperor at that time to exempt the Turks from taxes in the areas harassed by the Turks, so as to restore their vitality as soon as possible. But now Yang Guang got carried away because of a tragic victory, not only did he not remember to comfort the soldiers and the people, but even the crimes that endangered the safety of his own throne were easily let go.

"There is no hope for the Great Sui!" Pei Lian, who had escaped the catastrophe, thought sadly. Yu Wenhua and his brother would rather die than betray their accomplice for their behavior made him grateful, but he was very dissatisfied with Yang Guang's decision to pardon Yu Wenhua and his brother for their capital crimes. If he can tolerate even behaviors that endanger his own safety, he will lose the fear he should have if others rebel in the future.

Zhongwen and Wu have been bullied by Yuwenshu, and many people have deep grievances in their hearts. Today, I finally got a chance to see the old guy unlucky, but who expected that the matter would be plain and indifferent in the end, so they were extremely disappointed. But His Majesty the Emperor has repeatedly affirmed his decision, and it is not good for everyone to come out and find themselves bored. lazily complimented, "Your Majesty, Shengming!" Then he turned his gaze to the door of the reopened hall. Everyone watched with gloating eyes as Yuwenshu's father and son helped each other to leave, and then they saw several generals with blood stains on their armor striding in.

"Chenqu Tutong (Dugu Lin, Yao Junsu... See Your Majesty, the ministers are too late to help, please forgive your Majesty! Qu Tutong and the others quickly exchanged glances, then stood in three rows and clenched their fists at Yang Guang.

"You have come thousands of miles to help, and once you wash away the shame of being trapped in Yanmen, what is the crime?!" Yang Guang stood up from behind the imperial case and stepped forward quickly to help. "I know if you can't afford to die, I, I'm looking forward to you!" By the end, his mood was agitated, and his words were already a little choked.

"Your Majesty is my Great Sui Emperor, how can outsiders be offended!" Qu Tutong bowed again and responded. He was still wearing the heavy armor he wore when he went into battle to kill the enemy, and when he moved, the metal pieces on his armor skirt made a sonorous sound. The originally extremely oppressive atmosphere in the Golden Hall was instantly enhanced by its frank words and the sound of armor, and everyone was refreshed.

"Okay, good, I am the son of the Great Sui, how can I allow outsiders to be humiliated!" Yang Guang wiped the corners of his eyes without hesitation and replied. "With you saying that, it's worth it even if I get trapped for a few more days. I'm Da Sui, I'm Da Sui......."

"My big Sui is not allowed to be snooped on by outsiders!" Luo Shixin, who was standing in the last row, couldn't understand the number of courtesies, and seeing that Yang Guang couldn't think of words for a while, he had the audacity to pick up the following for him.

"Yes, my Da Sui is not allowed to be snooped on!" Yang Guang waved his arm, as if all the shadows in the past few days had been waved out of the palace gate. With a pleased smile on his face, he walked quickly to the back row, "This must be Luo Shixin, and I have your portrait in my study." This is Qin Shubao, and I have also ordered someone to draw your portrait. The little general ...... "His gaze stayed on Li Shimin's face, feeling very familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen such a young nobleman."

"Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan, the prince of Tang Dynasty, has seen Your Majesty, the minister is in armor, and he can't perform the three bows, please forgive your Majesty!" Li Shimin hurriedly bowed down and reported to his home.

"You're the second brother of your cousin's family?" Yang Guang was stunned, and then very untimely recounted the generations.

"Nephew Shimin to see uncle!" Li Shimin is such a smart person, knowing that Yang Guang must have escaped death at the moment, he liked it a little confused, and hurriedly spoke out to relieve him. His father Li Yuan and Yang Guang are cousins, so this uncle is called a matter of course. And Li Shimin has already performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and at this moment, the friendship between uncle and nephew can be regarded as public before private, even if someone wants to find fault afterwards, they can't find anything wrong with his behavior.

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect you to be so old!" Yang Guang held up Li Shimin, who was eager to worship, and nodded again and again. At this moment, he forgot his suspicion of Li Yuan for many years, and all that surged in his heart was the warmth of being missed by his relatives, "Your father is doing so lately, is he coming with you?" ”

"Your Majesty, when I received the order from King Qin, my father was ordered to lead the army to suppress the bandits, and it was too late to retreat. Therefore, I was specially ordered to lead all the soldiers who could be mobilized in Taiyuan City to serve under General Yun! Li Shimin was afraid that Yang Guang would find fault with his father and did not come to the rescue in person, so he carefully explained.

Yang Guang tossed for most of the night because of the affairs of the Yuwen family, and he was confused at the moment, how could he care about picking thorns from others! Putting down Li Shimin's arm, his gaze turned back to several generals in the first row, Zuo Xiaowei's general Qu Tutong, auxiliary general Dugulin, and Qi Wang Yang Jin. "I've worked hard all the way!" He wrenched his son's shoulders with both hands, and his voice grew cold a little.

"Father is frightened, son, son rescue, rescue is late, please, please forgive your father!" Yang Yun was frightened by a very common intimate action between father and son, and said with tears in his eyes.

Since the death of the crown prince, their father and son have been suspicious of each other for many years. In order of eldest and youngest, Yang Yong is now the rightful first heir to the throne. But Yang Guang has never liked his slightly sloppy son, so he has not set up a prince again. After a long time, Yang Jian was afraid that he would be too strong and block the way of other brothers, and he was afraid to do things. And Yang Guang dislikes this adult son more and more, and he can't wait to see him clean forever.

"What are you crying about, I'm not dead!" The more people fear something, the more it will happen. Yang Guang was really dissatisfied with his son's cowardice, and scolded with a calm face.

The reason why he was angry was not entirely because Yang Jun and Dugu Lin refused to enter Yanmen to live and die with him, but because he saw that Li Shimin, Luo Shixin, and Li Xu were all full of vitality, and his son was like a sick chicken in the phoenix pile! However, the bloodline of this sick chicken is the most noble, far higher than that of the Qifeng among those around him.

"His Royal Highness King Qi must have seen the Holy Lord's health, and he was a little overjoyed!" The Yin World Master standing beside Li Xu was the most clever, and he couldn't bear to see the good atmosphere being misunderstood and destroyed, so he explained for Yang Yun with a smile. "This is the nature of father and son, pure and sincere, even when the minister is standing here, he also feels that his eyes are a little wet!"

After that, he really rubbed his face with his arm wrapped in iron armor, causing the surrounding civil and military to sigh. Everyone has just escaped death, and no one wants to spoil the scenery. They all spoke out and persuaded, "Your Majesty and the King of Qi are filial to their fathers and sons, and we are also envious in our eyes." To be honest, this time I was trapped, and everyone really worried my family! ”

"Yes, yes, the King of Qi has commanded a large army to fight with the enemy on the periphery these days, and he has worked hard and earned. Those stupid sons in my family, I guess after hearing the news that my father was surrounded, would only lie at the door and cry north! ”

The audience praised his father-son affection, and Yang Guang looked at the son in front of him and slipped a lot. "Nest bag, nest bag, anyway, I don't expect him to inherit the throne. He has a weak temperament, and others will not force him too much after he succeeds to my throne in the future! Thinking of this, he was in a better mood again, and patted his son on the shoulder vigorously, "You did a good job this time, I'm very happy!" ”

After receiving Yang Guang's praise, Qi King Yang Yong's body couldn't help but shake again. For the past forty days, he had no idea whether he wanted his father to be rescued or if he had been taken away by the Turks. For a while, I felt happy and aggrieved in my heart, and tears poured out like a spring.

"Alas, don't cry, isn't it good for me!" Yang Guang was also softened by his son's eyes, sighed, and comforted, "You are also a big person, you should learn to control your mentality, so that your mood is invisible!" ”

"Your Majesty sits in Yanmen, and he expects that the Turkic Keri will be defeated, so he can win without joy, and defeat without worry. King Qi and I don't see it so long-term, and we are worried about Your Majesty's safety every day, and after the victory, we are naturally so excited that we can't help ourselves! The Yin World Master was articulate and spoke again to relieve King Qi's difficulties.

"Nonsense, you fought the battle. Trapped in a lonely city, how could I have expected that the Turks would inevitably be defeated? Yang Guangming knew that the other party was bending to greet him, but he still felt very comfortable in his heart, and scolded with a smile.

"Of course, Your Majesty had already expected that the Turks would be defeated, otherwise how could they hold out in the city. When he first arrived, the last general did not understand His Majesty's thoughts, and rushed into the encirclement. Later, when General Qu and General Yao arrived, everyone carefully checked and found that His Majesty was sitting in Yanmen, isn't it the often said in the military strategy that 'a little breakthrough, the center blooms'? Otherwise, with the wisdom of Your Majesty and the courage of your lords, how can you be trapped by some Turkic thieves? Yin Shishi was waiting for Yang Guang's question, arched his hand, and said unashamedly.

At first, he did not listen to the dissuasion of others and was eager to behave, but was defeated by the Turks. Therefore, after seeing Yang Guang, he immediately slapped his ass, lest he be held accountable by the other party for the crime of humiliating the country. And Yang Guang just ate this set, and originally felt that he had been disgraced by the Turks this time, and he had no shame to face Jiangdong's fathers. After listening to the words of the Yin World Master, I also felt that my mistake was indeed suitable for the way of using soldiers. Seeing this, a smile was on his face, and his eyes became much brighter.

"So, I'm meritorious?" Walking quickly to the Yin World Master, Yang Guang, who had a big feeling of "Yin Qing who knows me" in his heart, asked with a smile.

"It's more than merit. If it weren't for His Majesty's sacrifice of his life, he dragged the Turks around Yanmen. How can I wait outside and let go of my hands and feet. Therefore, when it comes to breaking the enemy, Your Majesty should be the first! The Yin Master raised his head and looked at the other party's face and replied.

"This sycophant is also shameless!" Even Yu Shiji, who was the best at greeting the government, couldn't stand it, turned his face away, and scolded in his heart. After being trapped in Yanmen, Yang Guang didn't want to break through, but he didn't have the strength to protect himself at all. Before Yu Wenshi entered the city, he wanted to rush out more than once under the protection of his guards. But thanks to the persuasion of Laihu'er and Fan Zigai, telling him to gallop on horseback, it was impossible for everyone to outrun the Turks, so they gave up.

As for anticipating the enemy's aircraft first, if the command is determined, it is even more nonsense. These days, Yang Guang is hiding in the palace crying with Zhao Wang Yang Gao every day, and his eyelids are still swollen yet.

Although I don't despise the Yin Shishi's personality in my heart, everyone still has to follow his words. Immediately, someone made a sudden realization, and stepped forward to compliment Yang Guang for his good use of soldiers, which is unparalleled in the world. Some people also complimented Yang Guanghong for blessing Qitian, which made the soldiers and civilians of the city all wiped out, so they escaped a catastrophe of life and death. has already received a high hat, Yang Guang naturally doesn't care about a few more, smiles, and acquiesces to all these compliments.

After talking for a while, Yang Guang waved his hand and brought everyone's attention back to the topic. "Without the lives of the soldiers, no matter how much blessing I have, I can't hold this lonely city. General Qu, you have arranged it really cleverly this time. actually thought of a plan to divide and disintegrate. After last night's battle, Shibi Khan and Gu Toru are bound to be on the same page. I can get peace on the border of Da Sui for at least five years. I watched your plan last night, and I only felt that it was interlocking, pressing step by step, and the opponent had no chance to crack it at all. Even if Huo Wei was resurrected back then, it was nothing more than that! ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for getting another Huo Wei material!" The ministers gathered around and congratulated in unison. Qu Tutong, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, has made great contributions this time, and his official position will definitely go further. He is now in the third rank, and he is almost the top of the generals. If you move up again, it is the immortal honor of awarding military generals from the Han Dynasty, the second rank of the Huaihua general and the first rank of the hussar general. There is a way that people carry people in a sedan chair, and those who don't go to the icing on the cake for this opportunity are simply fools. Therefore, hundreds of civil and military officials spoke out one after another, imploring Yang Guang to praise Qu Tutong and others for their achievements in breaking the enemy.

"Well, General Qu has made a great contribution to the country...... Yang Guang stroked his beard and smiled and groaned. The two sons of the Yuwen Shu family have caused a big disaster, and at this moment, he really needs an old minister who can replace Yu Wenshu to stabilize the morale of the army. Qu Tutong is upright and upright, and he is indeed a suitable candidate. Thinking of this, he wanted to seal Qu Tutong in public. Unexpectedly, before the words were spoken, the other party replied first: "Your Majesty is slow, the last general will not dare to take the risk of taking the battle merits!" ”

And those who push out the reward? The ministers looked at each other.

"This plan is from General Li's hand, and the last general is just following his words and following his strategy!" Without waiting for everyone to recover from the shock, Qu Tutong took half a step back, took Li Xu's hand and introduced it to everyone.
