Yang Su's death and the deposed concubine made Yang Yinjiang feel more and more crisis-ridden. This is normal.
It's not that she wants to think wildly, but the situation is like this, and she just senses the coming crisis more keenly.
At this time, Yang Ming becomes even more important, because only he can comfort Yang Yinjiang and untie his wife's knot bit by bit.
This is Jingzhao'an, all women. Yang Yinjiang's movements were loud, and her voice was heard by many people.
After Yang Lihua heard the maid's report, she was quite angry at first, but when she found out it was Prince Qin and his wife, she couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"These two people don't know where they are, and they made such a big fuss."
My friend Master Huaguang was standing nearby. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "The King of Qin is in his prime years, and the Princess is in her prime. It's time for her to enjoy herself in time."
"You also say such things? Have all these years of practice been in vain?" Yang Lihua joked.
Hua Guang smiled: "It's rare to see King Qin and his wife like this. I'm just envious. Yang Su has trained them well."
"It's Yang Ming who is good," Yang Lihua said: "He was deeply influenced by the Second Saint, so he only dotes on his wife. Yang Su is just lucky. Of course, he also has his strategizing skills."
Hua Guang nodded: "He is really lucky. Who would have thought that the prince died so young that his granddaughter has the best chance of becoming the prince's concubine."
"It's not the best chance, but there's no doubt about it," Yang Li said with a smile, "Don't you want it to be rumored?"
"Don't dare," Hua Guang said with a smile, "I'm afraid you'll kill me."
The wooden house was in a mess. Yang Ming tidied it up a little and restored it as much as possible. Then he helped his wife pull up her hair and tidy up her clothes.
Yang Yinjiang felt sore all over her body. She had not noticed it because she was too absorbed in it just now. Now she realized that many places on her body were bruised. Everywhere she moved hurt.
If she hadn't been exhausted, she would have wanted to do it again.
"Wei Xianhui, do you really like him?" Yang Yinjiang was in a good mood now and finally asked about Wei Xianhui's situation.
Yang Ming sat down next to her and said: "There are some things that I haven't had time to tell you yet. After all, they are just predictions. The specific situation still needs to be waited and seen. As for Wei Xianhui, the transaction component is probably bigger, but you should not be harsh on others.
"
"Your woman, which one have I treated harshly?" Yang Yinjiang sat down on her husband's lap, causing the fragile chair to creak several times.
Yang Ming stabilized his sitting posture, hugged her big butt, and said: "There may be changes in Hebei, but my father has taken everyone away again. If I need support from Guanzhong in the future, except for Li Jing and Wei Yunqi, there is no one here.
Available."
"You can't go on an expedition in person. If you're not sure about something, you can't go in person," Yang Yinjiang reminded: "Guanzhong cannot do without you. You have to stay and take charge."
Yang Ming nodded and said: "At first I did have the idea of conquering it myself, but after thinking about it later, I felt it was inappropriate. You and the children are all in the capital, and the capital's defense is empty. I don't feel relieved if I leave."
"From what you say, you think the chaos in Hebei will be huge this time?" Yang Yinjiang said.
Yang Ming said: "I'm afraid it's too small, otherwise my father wouldn't have arranged the four envoys in advance, especially Lu Yongji of Shangdang. This person is incompetent. Once the rebels attack Shangdang, they can directly attack Hedong."
, Hedong cannot be defended, and Guanzhong is in danger."
"So you have to tell Xiao Maha in advance and ask him to station in Hedong," Yang Yinjiang said: "If something happens in Hebei, Hedong must recruit troops as soon as possible."
Yang Ming nodded and said: "There is not much money in the capital's treasury, and I can't touch it casually in other places. You are in charge of the money at home and allocate some to Xiao Mohe and let him prepare it in advance."
"Okay, I won't feel bad about the money that should be spent." After saying that, Yang Yinjiang sighed: "My father has been carrying out construction projects year after year, and the taxes in Hedong have been getting less and less in the past two years. If you really want to reverse the situation, you need to take over as soon as possible.
East Palace.”
"Are you so anxious to become a princess?" Yang Ming laughed.
Yang Yinjiang smiled: "I can only do it if you ask me to do it?"
"When the overall situation in Hebei is settled, it should be almost done," Yang Ming said calmly.
Daye four years, April 18th.
A month has passed since the construction of the North-South Canal started, and Yang Guang has only been away from Beijing for seven days.
The spring outing ends in six days.
It was at this time,
Wu'an County in Hebei Province was the first to break out of civil unrest. A rebel army of 800 people composed of hungry people unexpectedly invaded Handan County. The county magistrate and all officials were killed.
Wu'an County, also known as the Handan area in later generations, has eight counties under its jurisdiction: Yongnian, Feixiang, Qingzhang, Ping'en, Mingshui, Wu'an, Handan, and Linming. Its administrative location is Yongnian County, which is Yongnian District, Handan City.
Now that the rebels have invaded Handan, Yongnian County will soon follow.
Chen Junbin, the governor of Wu'an County, has sent people to Changping to ask for help, and reported to Luoyang garrison Yang Jian and the capital garrison Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was still in the spring outing camp and had no plans to return to Beijing. Just as Yang Yue advised at that time, the whole of Hebei was in chaos. It was time for him to take action. At the moment, it was just a county with 800 rebels, just a spark.
Of course, Yang Ming hopes it will become a prairie fire.
In the big tent, except for Li Baiyao and Pang Niu who stayed behind at the palace, all the other subordinate officials came.
Yang Yinjiang also attended this meeting. Pei Shuying never asked about this, so she will not appear here.
"The latest military information is that a man named Zhang Zhang in Linming County gathered a crowd of three hundred and stormed the county government office at night. After opening the treasury, he led the crowd into the county magistrate's private house overnight. There were eighty people in his family, except for some women.
Except for Juan who was taken away, everyone else was beheaded."
Fang Xuanling unfolded a map with a solemn expression and said: "The two groups of rebels in Linming County and Handan County are not the same thing. The leader in Handan is called Gao Jie. He used to be the captain of Handan County and was later replaced.
They must be dissatisfied and take the opportunity to cause trouble. If these two rebel armies join forces, Yongnian County may not be able to defend it for long."
"Prefect Chen should be able to recruit one or two thousand people in the city, which can support the city for a short period of time," Pei Xizai said, "I'm afraid that other counties will follow suit, and then the chaos will be unstoppable."
Du Ruhui, who was newly married, shook his head and said: "Wu'an County has recruited more than 40,000 people this time. The military offices are all empty. There are not many people in the county government offices. Governor Chen is very optimistic if he can recruit a thousand people in time."
, the most important thing is that reinforcements from the Shangdang must arrive in time to put down the rebellion as soon as possible to prevent chaos from spreading everywhere."
Yang Ming frowned and said: "Lu Yongji is an envoy, so he should lead the army to put down the rebellion as soon as possible. It depends on how he will fight in this battle. If he loses, let alone Wu'an, Shangdang will not be able to survive."
.”
With that said, Yang Ming looked at his wife: "Did you send all the money to Xiao Mohe?"
Yang Yinjiang nodded: "We have allocated 230,000 yuan, 2,000 horses, and some armor and weapons, but not much."
This number is not small. Most people's wives do not have the courage of Yang Yinjiang. Of course, it is also related to the fact that they have been short of money since they were young.
Jiawei's ordnance must first protect the palace's troops. It will not be taken out easily. It is already very willing to give two thousand horses.
This is why Yuan Wendu, Fang Xuanling and others all admire Yang Yinjiang, not just because Yang Yinjiang gave them women.
The officials of the palace all know Yang Ming's true thoughts, and they also think this is the best way. As the saying goes, if one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, they certainly hope that Yang Ming will become the prince soon.
Fang Xuanling said: "Hedong is the gateway to the east of Guanzhong, so there is no room for error. In the military order given by His Highness to General Xiao, it is best for him not to attack, but to just hold on."
"Of course we have to guard it. If we lose it, we can't lose it to the east of the river," Pei Xizai said: "Otherwise if there is a loss in the pass, Your Majesty will accuse His Highness, which will be detrimental to us."
Yang Ming nodded and said: "We should also say hello to Wang Shuo of Hexi Province and ask him to keep an eye on the Western Regions. Internal troubles will lead to foreign troubles, so we have to guard against them."
Du Ruhui said: "King Guan hopes that His Highness can return to Beijing to take charge of the overall situation. Does Your Highness want to go back?"
"It's useless to go back," Yang Yinjiang said for her husband: "All the people in charge of the Sixteenth Guards have left, and there are only some low-ranking left officials left in the Ministry of War. It is useless to discuss with them. There are too many people in the spring outing camp right now.
We should be more optimistic, and besides, the camp is very close to Chang'an Station, so we can just ask them to send it here in time as soon as the military situation responds."
"The princess is right," Yang Ming nodded and said: "Let's not overreact now, just do everything step by step. If we don't rush, don't slow down, the chaos in Hebei will be even more troublesome for King Qi, and he will do his best to suppress it. When the chaos in Hebei
If the chaos gets bigger, I will return to Beijing."
Fang Xuanling nodded: "This is best. Our goal is to make Hebei as chaotic as possible. Now we have only lost one or two counties. It is not appropriate to react too much. Let King Qi have a headache first. After all, the canal matter
He is in charge, and if we interfere, it will only irritate King Qi."
Yang Xuanting was also present and heard the words: "Then what should I do?"
"Just keep an eye on the camp so that nothing goes wrong. You don't need to worry about other things for the time being," Yang Yinjiang said.
Yang Xuanting nodded: "Okay, I will listen to the princess."
The meeting in the camp was not over yet, and another military message was sent from Chang'an Station.
Lu Yongji, the governor of Shangdang, sent troops with two thousand men to quell the rebellion.
At this time, the military government on the canal cannot be transferred, because the guards of the military government are overseers. If they are transferred, the strong and strong men on the canal will be left unchecked and cause trouble, which will not be cleaned up.
Living.
But it was a pity that Yang Jian was eager to suppress the rebels in Wu'an County, so he transferred 10,000 people from a section of the canal in Qinghe County to quell the rebellion.
Wu'an County is just west of Qinghe County, and the two counties are adjacent. If the suppression is timely, there will be no problems.
But once it is held back by the rebels, big problems will arise.
