"Yu Wenhuaji sent troops from Dongjun to the north. As soon as he passed Jijun and arrived at Yaocheng in Weijun, Jijun rebelled, and the governor Liu Xing had already ran towards Luoyang." Cui Shiji of the Ministry of War took the military report with a very expression on his face.
Ugly.
At the court meeting, Yang Ming frowned and said, "Why is he joining in the fun?"
Cui Shiji said: "It's not clear yet. They should have sent troops under the order of King Qi, and they didn't carry any food, grass or baggage. It can be seen that they ate along the way."
"Well, it's probably because the army exploited the local area and squeezed the people so hard that civil strife broke out again," Yang Xiong said helplessly: "What on earth does King Qi want to do? What is he doing? Half of Hebei is in trouble."
Yang Ming continued to ask: "What about Yu Wenhuaji? Did he go north or return south to put down the rebellion?"
"I don't know. There have been too many military intelligence reports during this period. Maybe we can know the situation ahead after a while," Cui Shiji said.
In the main hall, the atmosphere was heavy.
The recent court meeting basically didn't discuss other things. They were all about Hebei. However, Guanzhong is far away from Hebei. The reports received every day are all things that have already happened. No one knows what is happening in Hebei at the moment.
Someone from the Ministry of Punishment asked: "The Duke of Qi has been escorted back to the capital. In your opinion, how should the crime be judged?"
Yang Ming asked: "According to the law, how should I punish someone?"
"According to the law, it's just a fine and a reduction in food," an official from the Ministry of Punishment said.
Yang Ming suddenly frowned: "So young? Just because he is a relative of the emperor?"
The official nodded.
Yang Ming sneered: "We lost the city and the land, which caused the rebels to gain strength and bring disaster to the people of several counties. If I tried to convict him like this, the people of Shangdang County would not agree."
Then, Yang Ming glanced at everyone: "If everyone thinks that relying on the Lord in his body, he can be exempted from crime and reduce his crime, isn't our Sui Dynasty law unrigorous?"
An official from the Ministry of Punishment said: "It's not the case of losing the city and the land, but it's the disadvantage of suppressing the bandits."
The decree issued by Yang Guang stated that he was a bandit, so he offered a high reward and was defined as a bandit, not a rebel. This was done to protect Yang Guang's own face.
Yang Guang did not want to define the civil unrest in Hebei as a rebellion, because the rebellion was directed at the emperor.
Since there are no rebels, how can the city and land be lost? That would be rampant banditry, wreaking havoc in counties and counties.
Yang Ming sneered. After a while, he slapped the table and said:
"Then we should blame the loss of population. So many people have died in the Shangdang, and this crime cannot be blamed on others. Don't talk about it, just cut the title for the people."
The official from the Ministry of Justice was stunned and hesitantly said: "Do I need to ask His Majesty for permission on this? After all?"
Before he finished speaking, Yang Ming had already picked up the pen holder and threw it towards him:
"Go and do it!"
"Yes, yes, yes," the official from the Ministry of Punishment first put the pen holder back to its original position for Yang Ming, and then walked out in a gray manner.
Is it cruel enough to do this to Lu Yongji? After Wei Jin was silent for a while, he said:
"I don't know what happened to Yuguluo and the others. If this rebel army cannot be suppressed in time, the canal project may be affected."
"At this juncture, don't think about the canal anymore," Yang Xiong said in a bad tone: "The situation in Hebei is changing day by day. If another Zhang Yingnian or Li Yingnian emerges, will the canal be built this year?"
Wei Jin said: "Now we are on a tightrope. Such a huge project cannot be stopped. If we stop this year, we will have to start all over again next year. The country cannot bear it. It seems that we still have to hurry up."
, let them fight decisively as soon as possible."
"Urge, I will not urge. Yu Juluo is leading the troops outside. He knows better than us what the situation is. If we force the battle, it may be counterproductive." Yang Ming said: "Let him fight how he wants to fight. The imperial court does not want it."
constraint."
Wei Jin sighed and had nothing to say.
Turkic royal city, Dali city.
Yang Guang has been here for three months. He had wanted to go back for a long time. Unfortunately, Zhuo County reported that the canal project has been affected by the rebels and has been delayed. If he goes there now, he will not be able to take a boat south through the canal.
.
This is not possible, he has already boasted about his awesomeness and must go back by boat, otherwise he will lose face.
So he made an excuse to go hunting in the grassland, and recently he has been taking Qimin hunting along the Egen River.
Based on the experience last time, Yang Guang had already informed his subordinates that all the memorials were being kept for him to read and that they were not allowed to report them in person.
In the evening of that day, after Qimin left, Yang Guang summoned a group of close officials to enter the account and began to handle official affairs.
There are five bonfires in the middle of the tent, on which cattle and sheep are roasted, and the aroma of the meat fills the air.
There were several piles of memorials piled three feet high, but Yang Guang was patient and read them carefully while the other ministers drank and chatted happily.
Most people's faces would change long ago when they see those memorials, but Yang Guang's face remained expressionless, making it impossible for the officials who had been secretly paying attention to his expression to guess whether the content of the memorials was good or bad.
Gao Yingnian was a traitor, Yu Wenshu and others knew about it, but they didn't know it from the emperor. They were informed by letters from family members, and the emperor didn't even mention it.
If others don't mention it, they don't dare to mention it.
After a long while, Yang Guang finally finished reading, stretched out, looked at everyone with a smile, and said:
"Come, let me have a drink with you all."
The ministers quickly stood up and raised their glasses: "Your Majesty, please."
Next, Yang Guang took the lead and started chatting, all about Turkic things.
After a while, Yang Guang said: "I want to patrol the land of Zhao and Wei. What do you think?"
He didn't want to stay here anymore. He was no longer used to Turkic food, and Yang Guang really had ADHD and couldn't stay idle.
Where is the land of Zhao and Wei? Isn't it Shanxi and Hebei?
Pei Ju immediately guessed the emperor's thoughts and nodded in agreement: "All the nine provinces and the whole world belong to your majesty. The emperor's hunting tour is to bring peace to the people. I think it is better sooner rather than later."
The emperor has an elite army of 500,000 people here. If he goes south, the civil unrest in Hebei and Shanxi will be solved in an instant.
Firstly, Pei Ju believed that the emperor's other intention was to wait for the canal to be completed and go south along the river from Zhuojun.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yang Guang smiled and nodded: "Shiju knows me best. Have you not met King Xingyang yet?"
Yang Jin, King of Xingyang, was Pei Ju's grandson. When Yang Jin was born, Pei Ju had already gone to Zhangye.
Pei Ju immediately pretended to have a dark look on his face: "I have been away from the west for more than two years and have not had the chance to meet King Xingyang."
He left the capital for more than two years, but Yang Jin is three years old this year. Why, because he is considered one year old after he was born.
Yang Guang said with a smile: "This time when I return to the south, I can see you."
The two of them talked about Yang Jin, and the most unhappy ones were Yang Yue and Yang Xuangan, because Pei Ju was so favored at the moment, and Yang Yue was afraid that the other party would have other ideas.
Yang Yue hurriedly smiled and said: "Although the King of Hedong is young, he has young teeth and a sharp spirit. He can already control the strong horse that your Majesty gave to the King of Hedong. He is worthy of being the son of a dragon. His majesty is as handsome as your Majesty's young ones."
That’s as much as 20% of the time.”
"Haha" Yang Guang laughed heartily, I just want you two to fight. If you don't fight, I won't feel at ease.
Pei Ju smiled and said: "That's true. It's rare for the prince to be smart. The key is that he can learn everything quickly. Your Majesty may wish to test the prince's riding skills in person tomorrow, and you will know that what I say is true."
Yang Yue was smiling, but he was secretly complaining that something was not right, because Yang Rui had to be held by someone when riding a horse, and he could not ride by himself. He was bragging just now.
Fortunately, Yang Guang smiled and said: "I will ride less in the future, after all, the prince is young."
Yang Yue breathed a sigh of relief immediately.
Since we want to patrol Zhao Wei, we will not gather our troops in one place like the Turks. After all, there is a wilderness outside the Great Wall, and Hebei and Shanxi are full of mountains and rivers.
There must be a forward army.
Yu Wenshu led the Zuo Yi guards into Jinyang, and came to protect his children and led the Right Yi guards into Zhuojun.
The intention is obvious. This is to put down the rebellion one step in advance. It is also known as: to open the way for the emperor to patrol.
As soon as the king's division arrived, insignificant rebels like Gao Yingnian had no choice but to wait for death, and there was no second possibility.
Yang Guang's move was also because he was worried that the canal would not be built this year. He was not worried about Yang Jian.
The next day, Yang Guang wanted to tell Qimin about his intention to leave, but Qimin reported something that made him angry.
Envoys from Goguryeo came to the Turks, but they were not to pay homage to Yang Guang, but to offer gifts to the Turks.
Qimin still had his heart set on the Sui Dynasty, so he sold the Goguryeo envoy to gain Yang Guang's trust.
So Yang Guang immediately asked Qimin to bring in the Goguryeo envoy, pointed directly at him and said:
"I ordered you to go to Hajj quickly. If you don't, you should lead the Turks and kill them immediately."
It means that I will give you one last chance. If you don't know what is good, I will bring the Turks and destroy you.
Why bring along the Turks? It was also a estrangement. Yang Guang was worried that the Turks and Goguryeo would secretly collude together.
Yang Guang always had a good reputation, but now he felt extremely humiliated in front of the Turkic people, and his desire to destroy Goguryeo became even stronger.
In history, Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo three times, and this incident played a big factor.
It is really sad that a unified dynasty that was on the way down was brought down because of one person's face.
Pei Ju was good at figuring out Yang Guang's thoughts, and immediately added fuel to the fire, saying that Goguryeo was our territory in the Central Plains from the Han and Jin Dynasties, and was later separated. Now our Sui soldiers and horses are strong, Your Majesty, you are another generation of heroic heroes.
, if Goguryeo is not included in the territory at this time, when will we wait?
What he said is correct. Historically, the first person to establish political power on the Korean Peninsula was Jizi, a survivor of the Shang Dynasty. Jizi was the uncle of Emperor Xin, King of Zhou of the Shang Dynasty. After the demise of the Shang Dynasty, he crossed the sea from Shandong and entered the Korean Peninsula.
The establishment of a political power, known as the Jizi Dynasty in history, lasted for more than 800 years.
Later, during the Warring States Period, after the State of Yan was destroyed by the State of Qin, Wei Man, a native of the State of Yan, defected to Jizi Korea. Later, he rebelled and established the Wei Dynasty, which was destroyed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
From Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty until the end of the Jin Dynasty, this place had been established by the Central Plains dynasty as counties. After the Five Husties Rebellion, the Central Plains was in chaos and there was no time to take care of it, so it was completely separated.
Therefore, the people of that place and their ancestors are orthodox Chinese people.
Or maybe Bangzi is always trying to apply for World Heritage, thinking that many of our things belong to them because we are their ancestors.
