Chapter 702: Yang Su, Duke of Chu
The Yangzhou Rebellion ended with Yang Guang slaughtering 100,000 troops, and at this time there was an unpleasant smell of blood outside Yangzhou, and the Yangzhou City Defense Army was cleaning the battlefield.
In fact, the city defense army does not have to bother to clean the battlefield, their main job is only to collect corpses.
Under Yang Guang's "Heavenly Demon Bliss", the 100,000 armies of Yuwen Valve and Dugu Valve killed each other until the last person died, leaving only corpses all over the ground.
After the war, Yang Guang returned to Yangzhou Palace full of blood, sitting on the dragon seat of the main hall, and the court officials stood below, divided into civil and military, standing on both sides.
100,000 troops approached the city, these ministers were nowhere to be found, and after the war, they jumped out one after another to sing praises to Yang Guang.
Yang Lin stood at the head of the ranks of military generals, and Bei Ying Lei stood behind him.
The first person in the ranks of civil officials stood an old man with a white face and beard, the old god was there with his eyes closed, and he never said a word, he was Yang Su, the prime minister of Chu State.
Yang Su and Yang Lin pushed Yang Guang to the throne together, but unlike Yang Lin, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he trusted Yang Su again, not only worshiped the prime minister, but even took him with him when he toured Jiangnan, but when the Yuwen valve rebelled and the soldiers came to Yangzhou, the prime minister of the dynasty was nowhere to be seen, and he only appeared after the destruction of the 100,000 army.
After Yang Guang killed the 100,000 army, he didn't even change his clothes, and directly summoned hundreds of officials to the council hall, because the rebellion of the Yuwen valve was not over.
"Which Aiqing can tell me why there is Yu Culture and 5,000 troops hidden in Yangzhou City, and no one knows about the transfer of 100,000 troops outside the city!" Yang Guanghu looked at the Manchurian civil and military forces below, and the murderous aura in his eyes was simply daunting.
Hearing Yang Guang's question, most of the ministers lowered their heads, and only Yang Lin and Yang Sumian did not change their colors.
"Are you all dumb?" Yang Guang shouted angrily: "Where is the book of the Ministry of War!"
Yang Lin was the third to step forward, and a gray-haired old man walked out, knelt on the ground and said:
"Minister, Li Yuantong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, knocks to see Your Majesty!"
Yang Guang asked in a deep voice: "Li Yuantong, you are in charge of the national military affairs, can you tell me the answer!"
Li Yuantong replied calmly: "Avoidance, the Yuwen traitor was ordered to be in charge of Yangzhou before, and temporarily transferred the city defense army of the backer king stationed in Yangzhou all the year round, thinking that he hid five thousand private soldiers in Yangzhou City at that time!"
Yang Guangyan's face was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little embarrassed, because Paiyu Culture and the person who took over Yangzhou was himself.
Yang Guang was suspicious by nature, so before coming to Yangzhou, he asked Yu Wenhua to take over from Yang Lin in charge of Yangzhou, but he didn't expect to give him a chance to rebel.
"The transfer of 100,000 troops, how can I hide it from you, the secretary of the military department?" Yang Guang asked again.
Li Yuantong replied without humility or arrogance: "Back to Your Majesty, after the minister came to Yangzhou with Your Majesty, the national military affairs were handed over to Lord Wang Xuan, the military squire who stayed in Luoyang, so I don't know about the transfer of the army!"
Yang Guang's old face turned red, and then he remembered that the squire of the military department was recommended to him by Yu Wenhua, and then he accepted his fate, in other words, Wang Xuan was a member of the Yuwen family.
After Li Yuantong finished replying, he said again: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is not to investigate the rebellion of Yuwen Valve and Dugu Valve!"
Yang Guang frowned, and asked curiously, "What else is more important than this?"
Li Yuantong replied: "The forces of the Yuwen Valve and the Dugu Valve are deep-rooted, all over the government and the opposition, and now the Yuwen Valve is the culprit, but the remnants are still there, and You Chuhong, the first master of the Dugu Valve, is nowhere to be found, Your Majesty should return to the imperial capital Luoyang as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation!"
Yang Lin also came out at this time, and said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, the Yuwen Valve and the Dugu Valve rebelled, and the Li Valve received the news that Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guogong, personally led an army of 30,000 troops to support him as soon as possible, and he will arrive in Yangzhou in the near future, I don't know what His Majesty's plans are!"
Yang Guang's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he glanced at the Northern Thunder behind Yang Lin, and there was a trace of scruple in his eyes.
Yuwen Valve and Dugu Valve rebelled, and Li Valve, one of the four major gate valves, had an army of 30,000 out of Taiyuan, whether this was support or taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, Yang Guang couldn't figure it out for a while, and more importantly, Bei Minglei and Li Yuan's long resemblance, and his martial arts were unfathomable, in case he and Li Yuanli should be together, Yang Guang was not sure to deal with it.
"This Yuwen rebellion, why hasn't the national teacher shown up yet?" Yang Guang suddenly asked a nonsensical word.
Yang Su spoke for the first time at this time: "Back to Your Majesty, since the Yuwen Valve openly rebelled, the Yangzhou Branch of the Bliss Authentic Sect has gone to the empty building, and the National Teacher who has always claimed to be in retreat is nowhere to be seen!"
Hearing this, Yang Guang's right hand tightened, and then quickly let go.
"When will Jiangdu come to protect the child!"
Li Yuantong, the secretary of the military department, replied: "After the general received the news of the Yangzhou Rebellion, he has already led his troops to come as soon as possible, and he can arrive at night when the time is calculated!"
Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction, as long as the 10,000 defenders of Jiangdu who came to Hu'er could arrive, Yang Guang was not afraid of Li Valve's 30,000 army.
"Tell Laihu'er that after arriving in Yangzhou, he will arrange for 10,000 defenders to camp outside the city, and he will come to the palace to see me alone!" Yang Guang said to Yang Su.
"No!" Yang Su nodded yes, and then retreated.
"As soon as Li Yuan's 30,000 army arrives, I will return to Luoyang with the army to preside over the overall situation, and all the ministers are ready!" Yang Guang finally decided.
"No!" All the ministers, including Yang Lin, followed Yang Guang's orders, and only Bei Ying Lei stood there indifferent.
"Retreat!" After Yang Guang finished speaking, he and Gonggong Wei left alone, and the other ministers also left the palace separately to prepare for returning to Luoyang.
Yang Su did not leave the palace like the other ministers, but slowly walked in the direction of Yang Lin, but Bei Ying Lei had an intuition that Yang Su was coming to him.
"The old prince stays!" Yang Su stopped Yang Lin, who was about to leave.
"What is the prime minister's business with this king!" Yang Lin asked strangely.
"Congratulations to the prince who is now in charge of the Praetorian Guard, responsible for protecting His Majesty, and returning to the political center!" Yang Su congratulated Yang Su, but his eyes kept glancing at Bei Ying Lei.
"This is the king's duty!" Yang Lin did not show a trace of pride, but was still a little worried, he was still worried about national affairs.
"This is Feng Shaoxia, who is driving with the prince!" Yang Su finally got straight to the point and said: "Feng Shaoxia has made meritorious contributions, Your Majesty will definitely reward him, and the future is limitless!"
"Your Excellency is polite, Your Majesty didn't mention the matter of protecting the driver just now, I think I forgot about it!" Bei Ying Lei replied with some resentment.
Yang Su smiled and said kindly: "Your Majesty may be tired and forgot about the reward, Feng Shaoxia can rest assured, this minister will definitely play Your Majesty, and I propose to reward you again!"
Bei Minglei clenched his fists and said politely: "Then there will be Prime Minister Lao!"
"Hahaha!" Yang Su laughed and said, "Don't worry, young man, this matter is wrapped up in this picture!"
"The Japanese prime minister will hold a banquet in the house tomorrow, and I don't know if the young man can come with a face!"
Bei Ying Lei did not refuse, and nodded directly in agreement, but Yang Lin on the side was a little puzzled, the North Ying Lei he knew should not be greedy for rewards.
