Chapter 553, Return to the East
The young man is Yang Biao's son, Yang Xiu Yang Dezu, who has just reached the crown and has not yet become a monk, and has been studying at home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Xiu has been smart since he was a child, and basically Yang Biao's affairs are rarely able to hide from him. is also in the rebellious period of youth, and often shows his talent in front of Yang Biao, and this time is no exception.
"Father, I don't know what decision you made?" Now outside Chang'an City, Li Dao and Guo Yan are fighting all day long, the Son of Heaven is young, the court meeting is basically abolished, and Yang Biao, even if he is one of the three princes, is idle at home. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one, Yang Xiu asked quietly.
"Oh, what did you guess again?" Yang Biao frowned.
The child didn't know what it was, but he knew it had to be a big deal, and the father must have made up his mind. It's a matter of the whole clan, so the child wants to know. Yang Xiu did not restrain because of his father's dissatisfaction, he had seen this situation a lot.
"The big things in the court, you are white, you can't hide, why do you have to go up? Now that the situation is unstable, you can study at home with peace of mind, and don't care about those things outside. Yang Biao commanded.
"It is precisely because of the unstable situation that children must understand the big things outside, otherwise who knows if someone will rush in and take them to prison one day." Yang Xiu retorted, "Chang'an has been unstable for a few years, and the child still has no intention of studying, just to help his father revitalize the prestige of the court as soon as possible." ”
"Dezu, if you suffer a loss in the future, you will also suffer a loss in this character. Those who are subordinate to others must not be sharp. Yang Biao sighed.
Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, Yang Xiu's death should also be in this character, although the legend says that Cao Cao killed him because he was jealous of Yang Xiu's talent, but in fact, it was because Yang Xiu behaved too much and was involved in the dispute between Cao Cao's two sons, which caused Cao Cao's dissatisfaction, and he was killed in the name of "leaking words and teachings before and after, and handing over the princes".
Yang Xiu was silent, he was so natural at this time, not to mention that he was in the prime of his youth at this time, he looked at his father with a firm gaze, and he didn't care about his father's words.
"Well, since you see it, my father won't hide it from you. Yesterday someone sent a secret letter with a suggestion for the father, the stakes are very high, and the father has been thinking about it for a long time. Yang Biao said.
"So my father has already made a decision." Yang Xiu said, "I don't know what the letter said? ”
"The letter has been burned by my father, and it must not be left behind, as for the content...... he hesitated, but still said it, "It is recommended that my father lead the court to return to the east." ”
"Returning to the East?" Rao is Yang Xiu has a big heart, and he was still taken aback when he heard this, "Although my father's name is Taiwei, in fact, whether it is the third prince or the hundred officials of the imperial court, there is no freedom at all, and they are closely monitored. Even if a letter comes in, it will have to be checked by the Xiliang Army. The other party can not only send a secret letter, but also think that his identity is extraordinary, at least he can speak in the Xiliang army and mobilize the people who monitor us. Who is it? ”
"To be honest, I don't know, there is no signature in the letter." Yang Biao said helplessly.
But my father decided to do what he told him to take a gamble. Aren't you afraid that this is a disguise, and the real purpose is to lure out all the ministers who are against the Xiliang Army? Yang Xiu asked.
"I can't rule it out, but it's very unlikely. If Li Dao, Guo Yan and others could think of this, and live to say that they dared to slaughter again and kill all the ministers loyal to the Han family, then the Han really had no chance. Dong Zhuo was much more powerful than Li Dao and the others, and he didn't do it, let alone Li Dao and Guo Yan. So this won't be their handiwork, after Li Ru, there are no smart people in the Xiliang Army. Yang Biao said.
If it weren't for Xi Liangjun's handiwork, it would have had another purpose, at least his father would agree with his suggestion. Returning to the East is not something that can be done easily, especially when the Son of Heaven is young. Dare to ask my father, what method did the man suggest? Yang Xiu asked.
"Continue to stir up contradictions between Li and Guo, expand the scope of the war, and try to weaken the various units of the Xiliang Army. Then divide and co-opt, and when the time is ripe, persuade them to take the initiative to let the Son of Heaven return to the east. Yang Biao said the contents of the letter.
"It's a little taken for granted, Dong Zhuo finally brought the imperial court to Chang'an, and they will easily let Luan go east?" Yang Xiu frowned and pondered.
"Li Dao and the others are not Dong Zhuo after all, the various ministries are not subordinate to each other, their strength is greatly damaged, and their influence is not as good as before, even if they have the court in hand, they have no influence on other princes, or it is really possible to agree to let the court return to the east, after all, it takes a lot of money to feed the hundred officials of the court and maintain the face of the Son of Heaven." Yang Biao said, "What worries my father is that even if he returns to the east, there is nowhere to go. ”
What my father said is that now there are many princes in various parts of the Kanto region, and some people have even openly disregarded the imperial court and have different aspirations, even the descendants of the Liu family. But in any case, after returning to the east, the outcome of the imperial court is always better than the situation on the side of the Xiliang army, or someone is willing to pay a huge price in order to control the imperial court! Yang Xiu analyzed.
"So my father finally decided to gamble once, and if he succeeded, he said, if he failed, our Yang family was afraid that it would end up forever. Those people in the Xiliang Army have never been soft on the enemy on the surface, so they hesitated when they were fathers before. Yang Biao sighed.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Under the supervision of Xiliangjun, he has to be careful in his daily life, even if it is just a letter from nowhere, he must gamble with his life, even if the chance of success is slim.
"Although the father lets it go, the affairs of the family are left to the child, and if he can, the child can also share some of the burden for the father." Yang Xiu said firmly. He is also very dissatisfied with the current situation.
"Well, it's up to you to do your home. However, this matter is not urgent, wait until the next time I see Zhang Sikong and Chun Yu Situ, and then discuss it together. Yang Biao said. In the end, he was both happy and apprehensive to get his son's support.
……
"Mr. Wen Wei, I still don't understand, why do you want to pass that letter to Mrs. Yang with the hidden danger of exposing the inside line?" In the Yazhong of Maoling County, Tiance asked Li Rudao, "We can do these things by ourselves." ”
"Don't underestimate Li Dao and them, they have been in the Xiliang Army for decades, even if Li Dao Guo Yan and others have no intelligence, they are by no means stupid people, especially when things involve themselves, it is easier for them to explore. If we do it ourselves, they will likely track it down and expose my existence. Li Ru smiled, "But Yang Wenxian is different, we give them a hope, they have a reason to persevere, or maybe they can really succeed." Even if it is exposed, they are originally dissatisfied with the Xiliang Army and are hostile, so it is normal to do so, even if they are all killed, it has nothing to do with us. ”
"Sure enough, it's worthy of Li Ru, and his heart is really ruthless." Tiance thought in his heart, and then asked again: "Isn't it good to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, why does Mr. want to let the imperial court return to the east?" What if they succeeded? ”
"The lord thinks, when will we be able to swallow the various departments of the Xiliang Army? And when we swallow the various parts of the Xiliang Army, how much strength will the Xiliang Army have left? Li Ru asked rhetorically, "If there is no corresponding strength support, what can you use to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" ”
"Well, too, taught." Tiance said sincerely.
Come to think of it, Cao Cao was able to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes because he had gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and even Xuzhou and Sizhou were under his influence and had enough ability to ensure their own safety. Even so, he was coveted by Sun Ce and Yuan Shao and almost failed. Although the current Xiliang Army is divided, it has a strong foundation after all, which makes the Kwantung princes fearful. Once someone attacks, they will definitely unite again.
Li Ru's plan for the Tiance Mansion was to annex the declining Xiliang Army, but the foundation of the Tiance Mansion was too weak, and to achieve this goal, it was necessary to wait for the Xiliang Army to be weak to a certain extent, so it was impossible to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so he could only send the entire imperial court out of the country.
"Returning to the East? I hope you can succeed, otherwise it will be a situation of rivers of blood and heads. There are so many talents, it's a pity to die here. Tiance said secretly.
