The matter of the Northern Expedition has been decided, yes, it is a big victory.

The emperor drove his own expedition, killed the Turkic Great Khan, killed countless enemies, and temporarily withdrew due to lack of food and grass.

That's what it claims to the outside world, it doesn't matter if the people believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

The original three-day strike was postponed, but it was actually a big court meeting in the Daxing Palace, which was changed to a small court meeting of Yang Guang in the Liangyi Palace, and there were not many people participating, less than twenty, but there was no Yang Ming in it.

Now that the Northern Expedition has ended, the next top priority is naturally to extinguish the fire.

Half of the Great Sui is on fire, if you don't put out the fire, Yang Guang is still counting on the three patrols of the Jiangdu, but now, he can't go.

Or rather, you can go, but the cost is a bit big.

Yang Xuangan also fell blood mold this time, and he had been kneeling in the Liangyi Hall for half an hour, and everyone else was sitting, so he knelt.

It's clear that this is going to be blamed.

Yang Guang is very smart, he knows that if he holds a court meeting now, it is inevitable that some stupid people who are not long-sighted will stand up and pick on him, so he must make a conclusion in advance at the small court meeting.

Then Yang Xuangan will definitely not be able to run, when will he carry this pot steadily, when will the court meeting be held.

But he didn't admit his mistake.

That's why he was on his knees.

"I said Xuangan, if you make a mistake, you have to admit it, the major event of the Northern Expedition is indeed because of you, which caused us to withdraw too early, and it is difficult to complete the work," said Pei Yun, the imperial historian.

Xuan Gan raised his head and looked directly at the other party: "It's all against the place, just the Wagang thieves have looted more than 3 million stones, and the entire canal is full of grain, I am just in charge of supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and the matter of suppressing thieves is not under my control, and I have sent the grain, but it has been robbed, and the dereliction of duty is not on my head." ”

Who made you alone, and it was a group of people who were responsible for the thieves? The law does not blame the public.

At the level of Xuan Gan, if you want to buckle your hat, you have to make him willing, and you can't force him, otherwise people will declare that they are wronged to the outside world, which is easy to cause an uproar in public opinion.

Let's not say that he is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, you have to look at other people's families.

In fact, this kind of thing, the emperor of the Ming and Qing dynasties was very easy to do, it was a big deal to punish the nine clans, and he couldn't punish a few people, but Xuan Gan you can't move, that's tens of thousands of people.

Besides, nominally, the emperor and them are all Hongnong Yang, you can't punish your own clan, right?

In history, Xuangan rebelled and became the first person in Chinese history to be punished by the nine clans, killing more than 30,000 people.

Yang Yue also retorted: "The prince issued orders to Luoyang every day, urging Xuangan, and Xuangan did it one by one, and never delayed the delivery of food, as for what happened on the way, you have to ask those Taishou along the way, they guarded the grain road canal, and watched the military grain being robbed, and in the end the charge was detained on Xuangan's head, what?" Is it really wrong to do more and not do better? ”

He deliberately brought out Yang Ming, that is, to protect Xuangan, as long as the prince was involved, Xuangan would not be able to move.

This time, Yang Yue is not willing to let Xuan Gan take the blame, I am already old, the family depends on Xuan Gan, you give him to fight me, I have no one in the Yang family, wouldn't I let you be bullied?

Pei Ju, a conspirator, avoided the important and said lightly: "I have eight discussions on the guilt of the Great Sui, and Xuan Gan can be pardoned for the guilt just by discussing the noble, and Yang Gong does not need to worry." ”

The grandson is the eldest of the crown prince, just by virtue of this, the crime of Xuan Gan will not be so big, Yang Guang doesn't care about others, his own grandson can't not care, right?

But Pei Ju's words are equivalent to saying that Xuan Gan is indeed guilty, as long as he can bear this crime, the emperor will not punish him too heavily.

To put it bluntly, I still have to buckle Xuangan's head, but Xuangan can't take it, this is a responsibility, which means that the unfavorable Northern Expedition should be counted on his head, and it will be written in the history books.

Yang Yue sneered: "Xuangan didn't rebel, second, he didn't lose the city and land, and third, he didn't escape from the battle, my father naturally knew that he was not guilty, and I didn't need Pei Gong to remind him." ”

This escape was clearly an insinuation against Yang Yong, so Yang Yong said angrily:

"How can you be innocent of losing military rations, like losing a city and land? Your Majesty entrusted such a great task to Xuan Gan, how did he do it? Three or four months' supply can't be guaranteed, no wonder they all say that Xuangan is a dementia, even if a civilian is a grain supervisor, it will not be worse than Xuangan. ”

These words are already very ugly, Xuan Gan has been growing up, and the most unbearable thing is the three words dementia, so he has quarreled with his own father Yang Su, after all, it has been spread too widely.

At that time, Yang Su's words were said to Yang Jian and his wife, and it was obvious that there was a hidden element and belonged to self-humility and self-deprecation, and the result became more and more outrageous, and some people even felt that there was really something wrong with Xuangan's brain.

So Yang Su hurriedly explained: Wu'er is not stupid, but it is useless.

In a word, it ruined the reputation of Xuangan I.

Yang Yue was suddenly furious: "What's wrong with dementia? There is no heart, no trickery, doing things straightforwardly, not sneaky, doing righteous and bright things, although stupid, but also right. ”

"Incompetent, live up to Your Majesty's trust, just as the so-called sage is in office, he can be in power, an idiot, and rank eight, it's really a joke," Yang Jun sneered.

Yang Yue was in a hurry, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was the emperor's son, he would definitely send someone to yin him.

If my brother is here, how dare you be presumptuous?

Xuan Gan sighed in his heart, just looking at these people sitting here today, most of them were the emperor's henchmen, and he guessed that these people were determined to charge him.

But he must not admit it, it is not just about reputation, if he falls, the Pei family will definitely fall into the ground, and when the time comes, Yin Jiang and Yang Rui will probably be implicated.

History has always been like this, not to mention far away, the old Qi Gao Wei, that is, Gao Yue's father, the original queen, is the daughter of Hu Luguang, after Hu Luguang was killed, Gao Wei directly abolished Queen Hu Lu.

If he doesn't work, Yin Jiang is not without the possibility of being abolished.

Yang Guang didn't speak, just waiting for him to nod, if he didn't nod his head today, it was not easy for him to come up with this palace gate.

The most important thing is that the prince is not there.

"The minister invites the prince, and the minister is innocent," Xuan felt helpless, so he could only drag Yang Ming into the water.

Yang Guang finally spoke, flicked his sleeves and said, "I am looking for you to ask, and it has nothing to do with the prince." ”

"Your Majesty's Northern Expedition, the crown prince is in charge of the country, whether Xuan Gan is wrong, you still have to ask the prince, if the prince thinks that Xuan Gan is wrong, the minister will admit it," Yang Yue said.

It's clear that the net is going to die.

Don't think that the minister doesn't dare to threaten the emperor, this is the Great Sui, the era of the gate valve, if you really want to get me, I won't lie down and let you get it.

In Yang Guang's opinion, the matter of Xuangan must be solved, I just let you take the blame, if you carry it, it will be over, you are happy, I will make up for you in the future, and I will be happy, you want to play with me like this, don't blame me for being polite.

He wouldn't put himself in the shoes of Xuangan's thoughts, but Xuangan didn't care about himself, he had to think about his daughter, right?

If my daughter weren't the crown princess, I would give you this pot today, but I can't top it, because Pei Laogou's daughter has also been the crown princess.

Su Wei let out a sigh of relief and plucked up his courage and said, "The minister thinks that it is better to summon the prince and ask." ”

If Shangshu's left servant shoots, it can't be regarded as a fart, right? Su Wei is so interesting this time, why, the granddaughter is Xuangan's daughter-in-law, and she has remarried, and the two families are married.

Yang Xuan said, "What did he let him do?" His Majesty has entrusted him with so many things outside, and he doesn't have the time now. ”

"Whether the prince has time or not, it doesn't matter what King Qi said," Yang Gongren smiled and said without a smile.

Looking at the royal house, now he is a fan of the prince, and with the few tears that Yang Ming fell in front of Yang Xiong's sickbed, Yang Gongren recognized this master.

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, glared at the other party, and stopped talking.

"Let the prince come, so that Xuan will die," Yang Guang said lightly.

After Yang Ming came in, the atmosphere in the hall was different, and Xuangan's waist was also stiff.

Sitting down next to Yang Guang, Yang Ming's eyelids drooped, and he didn't say a word, and others didn't dare to take the initiative to speak.

This crown prince has been in charge of the country for so many years, and he is almost like half an emperor.

"The matter of the Northern Expedition, the mouth of the people, there are also gusts of wind and rumors outside, the matter should be concluded, Xuangan supervises the transportation of grain and grass is not good, and all the ministers ask about the guilt, do you think, is it guilty?" Yang Guang said it to his son, but his eyes were still on Xuan Gan.

Yang Ming glanced at Xuan Gan, then at the others, and said lightly:

"Naturally sinful."

Yang Guang's eyebrows moved slightly, slightly surprised.

Xuan Gan was dumbfounded, stunned for a long time, bowed his head and kowtowed: "The minister pleaded guilty." ”

Yang Ming looked at Yang Guang and said, "Erchen thinks that he should be fined for one year." ”

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, and said, "I said the third child, such a big crime, fine?" The law of great karma is to be seen, huh? ”

"Who's the third?" Yang Ming asked rhetorically.

The corners of Yang Jun's mouth twitched, and he said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you punish you like this, it's too child's play, right?" ”

"Child's play?" Yang Ming sneered: "The review of the Ministry of War, I have seen it all, you escaped from the battle and fell into danger for Your Majesty, this is child's play, right?" ”

"You talk nonsense!" Yang Jun got up suddenly: "There is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, the thief army is powerful, I can't resist it, is that what I call it to escape?" Prince, don't you give me a hat? I can't afford it. ”

Yang Ming said: "Li Chen, Luo Yi, but you are still alive, if the two of them die, it is really difficult to pursue you, it's a pity, they are good, what have you done, these two people are clear, don't think that you can be exempted from the crime if you have merit in saving the driver, as a son, it is natural and righteous to rescue your father, if you don't save it, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth, when you are in the camp, you will be punished by heaven and earth." ”

"Huh. Hahahaha" Yang Jun laughed and said, "Father, did you see it?" I told you a long time ago that the third child wanted to kill me. ”

Yang Guang was immediately furious: "You say it again? ”

Yang Jun pursed his lips and didn't dare to say anything.

Cannibalism, isn't it a joke for people to watch? Yang Guang also wants to have a face, I just have these two sisters-in-law.

Yang Ming's anger is also not small, when he is angry, others are also afraid, don't look at Yang Ming until now, he hasn't treated people much, but don't forget, his wrist is exactly the same as Yang Jian's.

Yang Yue has now come back to his senses, and it is absolutely impossible for the prince to abandon Xuangan, and would rather face the emperor in front of so many people, but also maintain it.

The one-year fine is already obvious, what crime is only a one-year fine? If I am late for the court today, I will be fined for one year.

The court meeting is the highest level meeting of the state, and it is not allowed to be late, unlike the units and enterprises of later generations, who are only fined 510 percent for being late, and people are fined for one year.

Yang Guang frowned and looked at the prince, and said, "You insist on protecting Xuangan? ”

Yang Ming bowed his head and said: "The rewards and punishments are clear, the country must be clear, the government must be clear, the army and the people are harmonious, the crime of Xuan Sense, at most, is punished, the son was ordered by his father to supervise the country, resulting in poor logistics, and the crime is only me." ”

With that, Yang Ming got up and knelt down.

Pei Ju hurriedly said: "The prince is far away in Beijing, and the military rations are shipped from Luoyang, which has nothing to do with the prince." ”

"It's Xuangan Yang who violates Yin, and the prince is not at fault," Pei Yun also hurriedly said.

Xuan Gan was already moved, this is the first time in his life that the prince has helped someone to take a crime, just by virtue of this, it is difficult for Xuan Gan to have an accident today.

Because the emperor would not let the crown prince take the blame, the ministers did not dare.

Yang Guang smiled, and said after a while: "Then you should talk about how to explain to the world." ”

Yang Ming said: "The military food was plundered by thieves, and the sons and daughters were derelict in their duties, so they are willing to atone for their crimes, personally lead the army, and quell the rebellion!" ”

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment: "You are the prince, how can you go on the expedition?" ”

He is not happy, Yang Yan is happy, it would be best if you die outside, I don't have to fight with others, this position is mine.

"By no means," Pei Ju got up directly and said: "The prince is the capital of the country, and he must not be in danger." ”

Others, including Su Weiyu, Wen Shu, Yang Gongren, Yang Da Weizhen, are all persuading.

What are you kidding, how can you go about this?

Yang Ming knelt down and said: "My father is in Beijing, my sons have no worries, the chaos is caused by me, my sons should make up for it, please ask my father for permission." ”

His leadership ability has been verified by facts, Yang Su has never praised a few people in his life, Yang Ming is one of them, and his own prestige in the military is very high, and it is not a big problem to restrain the soldiers.

Yang Guang was silent, he couldn't understand why Yang Ming had this idea, do you have to exonerate Xuan Gan?

Of course he didn't understand, because he couldn't guess that he was the one his son wanted to clean up.

Yang Ming thought about it for a long time, and felt that he didn't have the ability to force the palace at the moment, counting on Yang Zhiji's son, who was not safe, and he was not familiar with others, who knew if he could be relied on.

Therefore, the best way is to take advantage of the opportunity to go out to fight and cultivate a group of capable generals who are loyal to him to the death, so that after coming back, there will be a chance to force Yang Guang to abdicate.

In fact, he was learning from Li Shimin.

His current team is not strong enough, even if he does it in the palace, the garrison army of the Beijing division is still in the hands of the emperor, and he can't kill Yang Guang, otherwise he will directly cut off the inheritance.

At that time, even if he controls the palace, the outside will come in sooner or later, and he will die at that time.

If you want to change the Xuanwu Gate, you have to be all over the lineage, and you have to rely on the generals for this matter, and Wenchen doesn't have the ability.

Li Shimin was able to do it because there were too many of his people in high positions in the DPRK and controlled the military power, otherwise he would not dare to put Li Yuan under house arrest.

What's more, Yang Guang is not Li Yuan yet, and he is much better than Li Yuan.

Yang Ming is not Li Shimin, the general of Tiance in history, who is much more powerful than him.
