The results of the peace talks on the Goguryeo side were no different from those demanded by Yang Guang before, and the weak country had no diplomacy, and Goguryeo, who had lost the war, was simply unable to negotiate with the Great Sui.

After the peace talks were completed, Yang Guang began to prepare to return to Daxing City.

When I was about to return, I received the fastest Di newspaper, and the news in it was sent by Li Yuan, not confidential news, but the system of Eagle Yangwei was faster.

The news inside is that the emperor has set out to change the crown prince.

Seeing this news, Yang Guang smiled slightly, the emperor finally started to change the crown prince, and now this juncture is obviously to inform everyone that the crown prince is none other than the king of Jin.

In Li Yuan's letter, it was also written that the emperor said in front of the princes and the king of Shu in the court that he wanted to change the crown prince, and asked Gao Gong to recommend him.

This incident made Yang Guang have some questions.

Why did the emperor do this?

Didn't the Emperor have a better way to make this matter safer and more reasonable?

With the wisdom of the emperor, it is impossible for him not to know that changing the crown prince is a very dynamic matter, and now if he does this, he will let his sons put on the table to fight, and there will definitely be trouble.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Yang Guang only felt that something was wrong, so he went to find Li Jing first.

Li Jing and Yang Guang sat face to face, Yang Guang told Li Jing his doubts: "My father wants to change the prince now, this is a reasonable thing, the prince has been imprisoned for a long time, with the previous Yun family's affairs, Yuan Xiaoju has also lost his favor, and the henchmen around the prince have fallen seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and he has no possibility of recovery, but my father's movement is too big, and I am uneasy." ”

Li Jing thought for a moment and then asked, "Your Highness, do you think Your Majesty wants to make you the crown prince?" ”

"At the critical juncture when we just won the battle against Goguryeo, my father openly announced the establishment of the crown prince, and I am the second son, whether it is merit or priority, it should be me, and now there should be no more suitable person than me."

"Yes, I think everyone in the world should think so, especially after Your Highness sent Yang Xuangan to rein in the family before, there should be no obstacle in front of you, but it is indeed strange that Your Majesty wants to make things bigger."

It is a constant law that small things should be lively and big things should be stable.

The more Li Jing thought about it, the more strange he felt, and finally thought about it again and again and said: "Your Highness, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"You and I can talk to each other and just speak up."

"Then you swear first, and forgive the minister."

"God babble, okay, forgive you for your innocence, you can say it."

Li Jing looked around, and after making sure that there was absolutely no one around, he whispered: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the whole world seems to take it for granted that you should be this prince, and the ministers of the Manchu court don't seem to have any opinions on you being this prince, so what do you think Your Majesty?" ”

Through Li Jing's words, Yang Guang suddenly realized that now he is monstrous, he wants merit and merit, fame and fame, and everyone expects it, but this seems to be something that the emperor is afraid of.

After figuring out the joints, Yang Guang felt that it was even more tricky.

The emperor depends on his attitude.

Before the Three Immortals Dedication Bureau, Yang Guang's reform unconsciously brought benefits to the major families, and the school system was constantly advancing, resulting in this bureau being useless, and now Yang Guang's reputation is too high, and the emperor is afraid that he will not be able to suppress him.

After all, if a young prince in his early twenties has the ability to hold the real power of half of the empire, he will not be able to sleep even as his own father.

In ancient times, the emperor did not allow others to snore next to the couch, and if he had no worries, there would be troubles.

Yang Guang can understand Yang Jian's mentality.

"Li Jing, then what do you think I should do now?"

After wanting to speak and stopping, wanting to stop and say: "Your Highness, now in front of Your Highness there are nothing more than two roads, one is to return to Beijing this time, with the power of great victory, directly suppress a few brothers, and get the position of the prince, it is logical, second, His Royal Highness returned to Beijing this time, low-key and not fighting, it is all up to His Majesty to make the decision directly, this matter is probably only decided by yourself, Weichen really can't give any good advice." ”

Although the possibility is very small, what if Yang Jian gives Yang Jun or Yang Xiu the position of crown prince? What should I do?

Is it true that the emperor can't do such a thing?

Li Jing saw Yang Guang's worries and said: "Your Highness, Wechen will not go back with you this time, or in charge of the army in Shandong, now the troops that can be mobilized under Weichen are no less than 50,000 people, all of them are elite navy, His Highness can order Yu Culture and guard Youzhou, outside Youzhou City plus 200,000 soldiers who retreated from the Goguryeo front, although Goguryeo has made peace, but it is not calm enough, Wechen believes that heavy troops are the best." ”

Yang Guang looked at Li Jing, he understood what Li Jing meant, if he calculated it in this way, there were actually 250,000 troops under his command that could be deployed by him at any time, these were all teams that followed him to make meritorious contributions, and the generals in the army, including Yin Shishi himself, were all raised by Yang Guang himself, and his loyalty was very high.

No matter what happens, having soldiers in hand is the real backing.

With such a force in hand, even if there is the worst and worst result at that time, he still has the strength to resist.

Now, Yang Guang found that he had to think about this option, and people must have near-term worries if they have no long-term concerns.

Choosing the crown prince, Yang Guang himself is the center of the entire whirlpool, and there are countless people staring at him.

Yang Guang hesitated, frowning, Li Jing had never seen Yang Guang so hesitant, in his impression, His Royal Highness King Jin was always decisive, always with wisdom and foresight far beyond ordinary people, I didn't expect him to have such hesitation and entanglement.

After a long time, Yang Guang raised his eyebrows and asked: "Li Jing, you say, if my father really doesn't give me the position of crown prince, will I really lead the current soldiers of Youzhou to rebel?" ”

Li Jing said very seriously: "What Your Highness says to do, I will do it." ”

Yang Guang patted Li Jing on the shoulder: "The world is undecided, how can there be internal chaos, step down from your position, you and Yu Wenhua will return to Beijing with me, and at the same time I will apply to the imperial court to let Yin Shishi become the governor of Youzhou." ”

Li Jing immediately said: "Your Highness, ...... like this"

Yang Guang stretched out his hand to stop what he was about to say, and asked rhetorically: "You also said just now, my father wants to see my attitude and behavior, if I leave you and Yu Wenhua here with heavy hands, how will my father think of me?" ”

Li Jing frowned: "I'm afraid I'll be quite jealous." ”

"Yes, once I do this, then even if I go back to Daxing City and my father gives me the position of crown prince, there will be a rift between our father and son, my father is not the weak and incompetent emperor, and he will not allow anyone to threaten his status and rights, not even his own son."

Yang Guang's eyes were like eagle falcons: "So even if I become the crown prince, there is only one way to rebel in front of me, and then I will have to kill my father and kill the king, and I should be the most orthodox and reasonable successor to the throne, and I must not cause such a situation." ”

"I should have been there!"

Li Jing said worriedly: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of that in case?" ”

"Life is fate, wealth is in the sky, I don't believe that my father would target me so deliberately."

Li Jing understood that Yang Guang had already made up his mind, and then said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I, Li Jing, am willing to follow left and right. ”

"Okay, go today, unload all the powers and responsibilities to the local officials, generals, and return to Beijing with me in three days, and I will send a message as soon as possible to Yu Wenhua and over there, so that he can also return to Beijing."

……

In the capital, Yang Jian received a report from Yang Guang, stating that the war in Goguryeo should end, and he would return to Beijing in the near future, and would return to Beijing with Li Jing and Yu Wenhua, and at the same time wrote to the Yin Shishi that he performed very well in the war, and after being a famous general, although he was young, he could be the governor of Youzhou.

That's all there is to it, nothing else is mentioned.

Yang Jian sighed after reading the letter: "It's worthy of being my son, so courageous, the military power said that he didn't want it, he didn't leave a single henchman, and even Lai Hu'er, who led the troops to fight, brought back to be his own subordinate official of the Jin Palace, this is obviously for me to see, I am very satisfied." ”

Queen Dugu beside her smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think you are worried about?" Amor has always been the most filial child, and also the child who makes us the most worry-free, why are you so worried about him? ”

"Worried? It's not worry, it's cautious, since I ascended the throne, I have become more and more cautious, my every move represents the will of the entire court and the whole country, so I am more and more cautious in doing things, less of the previous momentum, when I see Amour, I think of myself back then, or he is indeed better than I was back then. ”

"There is no father and son in the heavenly family, although I would like to say that father and son should be honest with each other, but I am in a high position, this position can make people lose all their sanity, looking at the previous dynasties, there are still few things of father and son cannibalism? Didn't we just depose our eldest son? ”

The emperor's words made Empress Dugu silent for a while: "But Your Majesty, Amor is different from others, if he really has the heart to do this, he will definitely not do this." ”

The emperor said in a deep voice, "Although I am not young, I am in the prime of life, and there are still many days to go, so it is always right to be careful." ”

Then the emperor turned around, wrote the edict of establishing Yang Guang as the crown prince on the holy decree, picked up the jade seal of the country and printed it heavily in front of Queen Dugu.

"In this way, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, will be the crown prince Yang Guang in the future."

Queen Dugu bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Amor must be a filial prince." ”

Filial piety, the emperor doesn't believe in this word, but the Fu Sheng Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, even if it is the Jin Dynasty that is spurned, they all lick their skin and dip a filial piety word, who makes this word sound good and easy to use?

But filial piety is in the heart but not in the line, whether a person is filial or not, can only ask himself, and people's hearts are the most difficult to guess.

As the emperor, Yang Jian will not combine his fate with such something that cannot be touched or seen.

Therefore, he wrote a holy decree today to canonize Yang Guang as the crown prince, in fact, not because of Yang Guang's filial piety, but because of obedience.

He doesn't need his son to be so filial, he has the power and wealth of the whole world, even if he is not filial, he has to be filial in front of him.

He knew that with Yang Guang's intelligence, he would definitely be able to understand his purpose, so he was just testing Yang Guang's obedience, what he wanted was not filial piety, but that he lived for a day, and his son would obey him for a day.

So seeing Yang Guang's performance like this, Yang Jian undoubtedly dispelled his biggest concern and wrote down the holy decree.

In this way, without warning, the eunuch in the palace went to the Jin Palace.

Although the King of Jin has not yet returned to the palace, Xiao Menglan, the princess of Jin in the palace at this time, and Yang Zhao, the imperial grandson in his arms, received the decree on his behalf.

The eunuch Zheng Yun took the errand and went happily and read the holy decree to Xiao Menglan.

Xiao Menglan was in a trance for a while, and he didn't hear the other words clearly, so he heard it clearly: "Canonize Yang Guang, the king of Jin, as the crown prince, and Xiao Menglan, the princess of Jin, as the crown princess." ”

Before Xiao Menglan could react after reading it, the eunuch Zheng Yun whispered anxiously: "The crown princess is grateful for the order." ”

Xiao Menglan, who reacted, handed the doll in her arms to Yuan Tiantian first, and then took the holy decree: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

The eunuch Zheng Yun offered a few auspicious words at this time: "Crown Princess Niangniang, since the name change of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the holy decree of the King of Jin has been sent by the slave maid every time, and the slave and maid are really looking at His Royal Highness the King of Jin from a teenager to the current His Royal Highness the Prince, it is a great honor, a great honor." ”

Xiao Menglan's happy reward today is naturally indispensable, and Zheng Yun is also an acquaintance, and he will notify him as soon as the news in the palace has nothing to do with it, and now he is one of the most favored eunuchs around the emperor.

With a wave of his hand, there were rewards for those who came, and he directly took out a set of keys and handed it to Zheng Yun: "Gonggong Zheng, this is a set of courtyards in the west of the city, the location is not too good, it is almost a mile away from the main street, and it is almost a mile away from the West Market, if you don't dislike it, you can take it." ”

As soon as this location was mentioned, he knew that it was an excellent location, and Zheng Yun was flattered: "Crown Princess, how can Zheng Yun accept such a gift from you." ”

"Gonggong Zheng, you also said that you are watching our King Jin all the way...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came over, we all remember this friendship, every time you come is a good thing, good luck. ”

Zheng Yun smiled and accepted the key: "Then the slave thank you to the princess." ”

……

The news that Yang Guang became the crown prince had not yet reached Youzhou City, and Yang Guang was preparing to leave the capital at this time, the carriages and horses were ready, and Li Jing and Yu Wenhua were also ready.

The Yin Shishi led many generals from Youzhou City to bid farewell, and the momentum was extremely huge.

Yang Guang said with a headache: "It's not that I said it, don't make it too grand, let's just travel lightly." ”

The Yin Shi Master smiled and said, "Your Highness, I am willing, but the soldiers are unwilling." ”

Yang Guang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Hey, really, then it doesn't matter, let's go." ”

Yang Guang was about to walk out when a subordinate suddenly ran over.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, a priest came to the back door and said that he wanted to see you, and we wanted to send him, but he claimed that his surname was Yuan and he was an old acquaintance of the Tiantian girl."
