Chapter 409: Convince Yang Ye
Yun Moxi looked up at the moon in the sky, bending a line, "Even if there are no rumors, he may not sleep peacefully." The person sent by my grandfather to pick him up would go to Yangzhou Wharf when the moon was full. Let's settle down the affairs in the house as soon as possible and go to Yangzhou to wait! ”
Zhao Ting also looked up at the night sky, "I've already arranged it to leave at any time, there is only one thing I don't know how to solve yet!" ”
"What?"
"The generals who can lead the troops in the DPRK and China are all my old subordinates, and the imperial brother no longer trusts them. They were all deposed or transferred, and there was no one left in the DPRK and China to take on great responsibilities. However, the Liao State is still the biggest hidden danger, and there must be people who are familiar with the north and are good at using soldiers. If there is such a person in the court to protect me, I can leave with peace of mind - this is the last thing I will do for him! ”
"But someone has chosen?"
"Yes, yes, but I'm not sure."
"Who is it?"
"You also know this person - it's Yang Ye."
She was not surprised, "Is His Majesty unwilling to reuse?" Or is Yang Ye unwilling to surrender? ”
"Yang Ye is a rare general, and the imperial brother also knows that there is no reliable general available in the court now, so he has not killed him so far, and it is said that he has been to the prison twice."
"So, Your Majesty also wants to subdue Yang Ye!"
"It's just that this man is unusually loyal and resolute. Captured so far, he refuses to surrender or kill himself, and only asks to be beheaded in public like a hero. ”
"He was willing to lie dormant in the extremely cold land of the border pass for more than ten years for Liu Jiyuan, secretly training the army for him, of course, this loyalty and perseverance can not be shaken at will."
"Yes! It's just that it's inconvenient for me to come forward, and Yang Ye must hate me too. What's more, even if I convince him, the imperial brother will feel that he is the person I have accepted, and if he no longer trusts him, he will not be reused, and it will not be a waste of talent. ”
Yun Moxi was silent for a while, "Since it is the handsome talent that you fancy for Your Majesty, maybe I can try it." ”
"Are you sure?"
"Not sure!" smiled helplessly, "Maybe he will be even more angry when he sees me." But since neither you nor Your Majesty can do anything, at least I'm more familiar with him than you, so it's okay to give it a try. ”
Zhao Ting thought for a while, "Tomorrow we will go to the prison to see him." ”
"Just arrange for the people in the prison to let me in, you don't have to come forward, otherwise Your Majesty will find out and increase your suspicions."
"But I don't worry that he knows martial arts and is not locked, so I will disguise myself as a guard and go in with you."
"Okay!"
The next day, Yun Moxi took Zhao Ting in disguise to the prison.
The head of the prison had been notified by the superiors, and only said that Princess Wei was going to come to see the old man and send some clothes and food.
Everyone knows what Princess Wei did in the Northern Han Dynasty, and it is normal to know the generals of the Northern Han Dynasty in the past.
What's more, Zhao Guangyi is in prison in order to entrap Yang Ye, but the treatment in all aspects is also the best.
Smoothly let her in, just told her to do it as soon as possible.
In the dark and damp prison, the smell of mildew came from everywhere.
The ubiquitous sounds of moaning, crying, and cursing came from time to time, as if they had reached the underworld.
Yang Ye was locked in the innermost single room, separated from other ordinary prison rooms by some distance, which was the most comfortable one, and in the past, it was all royal nobles who made mistakes.
When I got closer, I saw that although it was already the largest and most comfortable cell in the prison, it was actually only a little larger than the ordinary cell, with one more table and a chair, and it was not so dark and damp.
The cell boss respectfully opened the lock, and the two walked in.
Yang Ye sat cross-legged on the grass-paved wooden bed with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was exercising or sleeping.
He heard the sound of the cell door opening, and did not move.
"General Yang!" Yun Moxi called softly.
Yang Ye suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her, and the light in his eyes shone brightly.
Although his clothes were tattered and dirty, his hair was scattered, but the expression on his face was still heroic and his eyes were still sharp.
"Is that you?" He snorted coldly through his nose, with a strong disgust and hatred.
"I'm here to see the general!"
"What is there to see the generals of the defeated army, Princess Wei should please!"
"Why is the general unwilling to surrender?"
"If you want to kill, you have to listen to your respect, but if you want to lower your head, you would rather die."
"The general is not from Shatuo, but he is so loyal to the Northern Han Dynasty, can you tell why?"
"I'm not loyal to the Northern Han!" Yang Ye looked at her and sneered, "The person I owe allegiance to is him...... It's like being loyal to myself! ”
"Why are you so faithful to him?"
"It's just because he was as high-spirited as me back then, and he had the ambition to unify the world in the Central Plains."
"But he's gone!" Yun Moxi's expression was a little gloomy.
"The man I was loyal to back then is no longer himself when I meet you...... You ruined him! ”
looked at her resentfully, "Back then, he was smart, wise, and resolute. One person can block the open guns and arrows all over the city, one person can bring mountains of wealth, and one person can raise an army. His ambition and ability conquered me and I did everything I wanted to do, so I followed him wholeheartedly and was willing to train a secret army for him. ”
She listened quietly.
"For the sake of you, he is willing to give up everything he has pursued, but you can't understand him. If he doesn't have an army, he can never turn over, but how much does it cost to raise an army? That's why he is Jia Gui, so he has to go to the Yun family, and he has to get everything by any means. ”
Yang Ye remembered the scene when he was willing to die for her, so he couldn't wait to kill the woman in front of him.
"No matter how the past changes, it is his choice after all. However, since the general is to display his ambitions, now the Great Song Dynasty is the only one who is unified, and the Liao State is still eyeing and invading the border. Generals live for their ideals and ambitions. Now is the time to perform, why are you so stubborn?"
"Then Zhao Guangyi is narrow-minded, how did he get his throne? How can such a villain be my master? He said arrogantly.
"No one can be the master of the general, the general is for himself, for what he still insists on in his heart. If you are foolish and loyal for the sake of the deceased, won't you waste all your skills? ”
She sighed, "Your Majesty's methods are disdainful of the general, and the methods of the evil lord were also used to the extreme. Whose hands are clean to ascend to the most exalted throne? That is, how could the general himself not do anything to lose his conscience and kill innocent people? ”
Yang Ye, who said this, fell silent.
"The general wanted to show his ambition to establish a career and calm the troubled times, which shows that there is also the world in his heart and the safety of the people. If you can adhere to this original intention to defend the territory and protect the strong and prosperous unification of the Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be the wish of the general from the bottom of his heart for many years? This feat will go down in history for generations to come! ”
Zhao Ting stood by the door and saw that the look in his eyes was no longer as sharp as just now, and he knew that his heart was a little shaken.
Yun Moxi also saw his vacillation, and further persuaded: "The destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty was largely due to the betrayal of the Liao State, and the alliance with the Great Song Dynasty privately reaped the benefits. Jinyang City broke and the Northern Han Dynasty perished, if the general hated, he should also hate the Liao State and hate Xiao Xuan. ”
Yang Ye said hatefully: "Xiao Xuan...... As long as I'm alive, I'll fight her to the end. ”
