The invasion army of the Western Wei Dynasty left without a fight, which was naturally a great joy for the people of Jinyang. And because of his outstanding performance in this crisis response, the new monarch Gao Yang has gradually become well-known and accepted by the Chinese people, and his prestige has just risen.

But for Gao Yang, such a situation is obviously not enough. He was really ready for a big battle with the Western Wei Dynasty, and he wanted to take this battle as his own founding battle, and completely establish his majesty as the founding king of the Qi country.

But now the Western Wei army left without a fight, which also meant a tiger's end for Gao Yang. Although he was anxious to establish his authority, he still did not lose his senses, and he was confident that he could defeat the incoming enemy while sticking to Jinyang and waiting for work, but he also knew that if he took the initiative to attack, he was afraid that the outcome would be unpredictable.

Things have come to this point, even if Gao Yang is ambitious, he can only endure it for the time being, and then the defeat on the Heluo battlefield will enter his sight again.

"Enemy general Li Boshan, is it the one who took advantage of the emperor's southern expedition and entered Kou Jinyang in the old year?"

Before Gao Yang was busy rectifying the military of Jinyang and dealing with the main force of the Western Wei Dynasty, he did not pay much attention to the Heluo battlefield, and when the crisis was lifted and then understood in detail, when he saw the somewhat familiar name of the battle report, he frowned and asked: "Is it Li Boshan in Longxi that let King Zhangwu and King Qinghe all sit in the city of sorrow, King Xianyang and King Hedong are still shocked across the river, and Liu Fengsheng and Murong Shaozong are all dead?" ”

When the generals heard this, their expressions were all a little unnatural. They were neither deaf nor stupid, and they could hear that the first question might still contain some questions, and the repetition of the latter question was obviously in a mocking tone.

As the king of a country, he laughed at his courtiers for losing to the enemy generals, which is obviously not in line with Gao Yang's identity.

But when he thought of these people imposing many constraints on himself with the appearance of high-ranking and country-seeking veterans, causing his plan to encounter many twists and turns, Gao Yang couldn't help but feel disgusted with these so-called veterans in his heart.

Although they were forced by the current situation to give these people officials and knights to commend their merits, Gao Yang couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of their embarrassed appearance in the face of the enemy country's young man.

"Your Majesty, this Li Boshan is the thief who invaded Jinyang in the old years. This disciple was originally a fugitive from Hebei, after entering Xiqiang, he has always been known for his treacherous and vicious, relying on his famous background, there are many old days in the eastern part of the country, and he has repeatedly invaded our country, so he has made a contribution. Now he has been promoted to the rank of general in the thief court, and he has been knighted as the prince of Taiyuan County, and he is one of the few thieves. ”

Hearing that his father was named and ridiculed, Hu Lvxian, the son of Hu Lujin, was a little angry, and replied, but he couldn't help but add some material to this answer.

When Gao Yang heard this, he didn't laugh angrily, and at the same time said: "The thief of Taiyuan County shouldn't be Wang Sizheng? Now it has turned into this Li Boshan, which is interesting. It seems that the Qiang thief also understands that the future is terrifying, and the great merit must be sealed, so if it is not a big county, where can it be placed? ”

Far from being embarrassed by Li Boshan's eating of his old seal in the Western Dynasty, he took it for granted, and by the way, he attacked some people's stereotypical and anachronistic views.

But after a while, his face sank sharply again, and he stared at Hu Luxian and said in a deep voice: "Hu Lulang said that this is a great success in vain, and he must not be talking about it. How can such evil deeds be forgiven! Hu Lulang quickly explained what he knew in detail, verified one case, and punished one door, without mercy! ”

Hu Luxian heard the emperor's stern and unkind tone, and his face couldn't help but change. He was just unhappy with Li Taiqi and the Kwantung clans, and casually pulled the two together, but he didn't expect the emperor to continue to ask questions so harshly, and he couldn't help but be a little speechless for a while.

Gao Yang did not give up on his laurels, and since his brother took power, these Jinyang nobles have been quite dissatisfied with the Kwantung clan, which has gradually been reused. The open and secret battles between each other, Gao Yang all took it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

Therefore, at the beginning of his brother's assassination and taking power, he demoted the members headed by Er Cui, one was to sweep away the personnel influence left over from his brother's rule, and the second was to make this statement in the hope of gaining the support of the nobles of Jinyang who spared no effort.

However, this time, when he revolutionized on behalf of Wei Jianqi and Yi Ding, Hu Lujin and other Jinyang nobles did not support it very much, and even spoke out against it, and he was able to do it in the end, and the support of the people of Zhubei and the Kwantung clan was also very important.

He already had a secret prejudice in his heart, and now he heard Hu Luxian alluding to the secret communication between the Kwantung clan and the enemy general, and he was quite unhappy in his heart.

Seeing that Hu Luxian was silent for a while, he looked around at the generals in the hall again, and continued: "Then Li Boshan's merits are not shallow, and those who can help must not be vulgar. You wait for the people in the palace, who can cite their deeds in vain before me? ”

"Ministers, ministers know a thing."

After a while, a general stood up and bowed and said: "The old Emperor Wenxiang was once arrested and imprisoned in Jinyang City by Li Boshan's family, but now his family is nowhere to be found. ”

"Is that so?"

After Gao Yang heard this, his black face suddenly became even more gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "There is a division to investigate this matter quickly, and it is confirmed that there are people involved, and it will be severely punished!" Then Li Boshan's relatives and party members who are still in Kanto will all be arrested and questioned! ”

The open-mouthed Hu Luxian didn't expect that there would really be such a deed, and the cold sweat on his forehead, which was already nervous, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief at this time, and when he saw the emperor so angry, he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

The other Jinyang generals in the hall were also in the same mood, and the new monarch's various reliance on the Kwantung clan and the Han'er armed forces since his arrival made them feel a sense of crisis in their hearts. And some of the previous emperor's actions in governing the army also showed that he had the intention of rectifying the internal order of the Jinyang soldiers in depth, if he could take advantage of this to blow the arrogance of those Kwantung clans, so that they could not only breathe a bad breath, but also obtain some substantial benefits.

Among these people, although Duan Shao is also the representative of Jinyang Xungui, he is also the cousin and eldest brother of His Majesty the Emperor.

So after the public general retired, Duan Shao deliberately stayed at the end and said to the emperor: "The ministers think that this matter should not be overly publicized and brazen, after all, now that the dynasty is newly established, the ministers are waiting to be accustomed, once they encounter criminal panic, I am afraid that people will be uneasy!" ”

Gao Yang actually regretted it at this time, he knew that these Kanto clans broke bones and tendons with each other, and the relationship could be described as intertwined. If you really push the trial strictly, you may not be able to run away. If you add some false accusations, you may not even know about him and the Li Boshan family.

But now that the words have been spoken, he can't change his order overnight, and he really wants to find out what the inside story is. After all, it is also true that he relies on the Kwantung clan a lot, and if the team's hearts are not pure enough, it will also be a big hidden danger for him. Even if some people are indeed involved, as long as the relationship is not deep, he can come forward to protect it, after all, it is better to make a mistake than to make a mistake.

So he said again: "Then Li Boshan first Kou Jinyang, when I lived in Nanfu, I still remember that Hefu was frightened. Now that his family has disappeared into the city in vain, it can be seen that he has infiltrated my lair deeply, and he is really uneasy if he does not strictly investigate it. But if anyone wants to use this to slander the masses, I will not spare it! ”

He hoped that Duan Shao would pass on this meaning to those Jinyang nobles, so that they would be honest and not delusional about taking this opportunity to eradicate dissidents.

At the same time, because of Hu Luxian's progressive attitude, Gao Yang also deeply felt that his prestige in the eyes of these Jinyang arrogant soldiers and fierce generals was still lacking, although he had a layer of monarchy and ministership to control the masses, but it still took a process to make them bow down and obey orders.

So he said to Duan Shao again: "Today's black otter retreats in the face of difficulties and does not dare to disturb, which is indeed a blessing for the military and people of Jinyang." But Heluogu's territory is still invaded by thieves, and if we don't recover the other city's land, the country will not be complete! The second general of Heyang is exhausted, I want to go to Heluo to fight the thieves in person, can I use the military heart as my brother has seen? ”

If the enemy general Li Boshan and the famous general Su Lao in the country can send troops to conquer and break his army, then he can naturally quickly establish a high reputation.

But Gao Yang also personally experienced the horror of the city when Jinyang City was attacked, and knew the shadow of the famous tree of the people, once or twice or it can be said to be a fluke, but so many victories also made him realize that this Li Boshan is not an easy person. This time he asked Duan Shao if his military heart was available, but he actually wanted to ask Duan Shao if he thought he could defeat Li Boshan.

After Duan Shao heard this, he knew the emperor's meaning in his heart, and after a little silence, he said again: "Now that the strong enemy has retreated, the country still needs to maintain stability.

Although Li Boshan has a strong reputation, but after all, he is only a minister of Qiang, although he is still stealing Heluo, but his lord has retreated, and he is also alone, and he will soon be disarmed and retreat, and he will not dare to continue to resist and defend himself. Even if Your Majesty leads the army south, it will only be a futile journey, and it will only be a strong voice. ”

Gao Yang was silent for a long time after hearing this, and only sighed after a while: "For the time being, let him deceive the world and steal his name for a short time, when my country's situation turns from chaos to peace, and personnel change from complicated to easy, he will definitely ask for it!" ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed and said: "What is left by the thief is not beautiful after all." It is not that there are no generals available in our country, how can we allow thieves to come and go freely? Please ask my brother to ask the king of Anding for me, will you bring up the elite soldiers, go south to level Heluo for me, and recover the lost land? ”

Duan Shao couldn't help but feel a little helpless when he heard that the emperor was still obsessed with conquering Heluo, but when he saw a sneer on the corner of the emperor's lips, he seemed to realize in his heart, did the emperor plan to borrow this Li Boshan to continue to suppress the prestige of the old ministers?
