From crossing the river to Gao Yuan's surrender, everything Li Jing knew was described in detail to Yang Ming.
After listening to this, everyone will suspect that there is something wrong with Yu Wenshu.
Wei Xuan risked his life and led his troops to capture the dam as quickly as possible, in order to provide Yu Wenshu and Yu Zhongwen's main force with an opportunity to cross the river. It was a good thing for him that he ran to the dam, euphemistically calling it to save Wei Xuan, but he also
Why did Xue Shixiong force him?
Is this blame going to be placed on Xue Shixiong's head?
After meeting Gao Dayang, it was clear that the Sui army had an absolute advantage because of its superior armor and types of troops. Li Jing broke through the Sashui camp again and burned half of Gao Dayang's baggage. However, Yu Wenshu did not dare to attack.
Is he the kind of person who doesn't dare to fight? Obviously not.
But if you say that he deliberately delayed the military plane, it is unlikely. After all, Yu Wenshu is the general manager of the march. If something goes wrong, he will be the first to take the blame.
"While we were chatting, it got daylight. After the pharmacist had breakfast at my place, he went to court," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Li Jing frowned and said, "On the way back, I heard from Duke Xiu that Your Majesty intends to let you cultivate for a period of time?"
Today is the second day of March, and Yang Ming happens to be unable to attend the court meeting. Yang Guang originally ordered that the court be suspended for three days, but he withdrew it at noon on the first day of the month.
"Yang Yue only told you this and nothing else?" Yang Ming said.
Li Jing shook his head.
Yang Ming pointed to Pei Shuang and motioned for him to bring Chen Junbin's secret letter and give it to Li Jing to take a look.
When Li Jing saw it halfway, he already understood:
"Your Majesty asked Huaji to quell the rebellion in Hebei just because he wanted to grant him a title. When he was in Liaodong, everyone opposed the matter, so Your Majesty put it aside for the time being. Yuwenshu has contributed to the destruction of the country, and Huaji's title is already a certainty.
, Hebei is killing civilians indiscriminately, I’m afraid it won’t be settled.”
Yang Ming nodded: "If Your Majesty insists on conferring a title, then the word "indiscriminate killing" will not appear, but the words "indiscriminate killing" will not appear, but the merits of exterminating the traitors. It is not clear in black and white. Your Majesty sent me away because you are worried that I will cause trouble.
"
"Then what do you mean, Your Highness?" Li Jing asked.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "You know, what I can't bear the most is the indiscriminate killing of civilians. Not to mention Yu Wenji, even his father, I won't let him go."
Li Jing frowned and said: "Hua Jing killed civilians indiscriminately to take credit, but actually he was aiming for the title of nobility. Now that Yu Wenshu's prestige is at its peak, it would be better for Your Highness not to act rashly. Your Majesty's intention is already obvious."
Yang Ming smiled: "It doesn't matter, I have my own way."
After Li Jing had breakfast with Yang Ming in the East Palace, he hurried to Daxing Hall to attend the court meeting. He had been knighted and was a meritorious official, so he had a place.
After all, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, a large number of people attended the court meeting, and the Daxing Hall was packed. Unlike during Yang Jian's period, there were only ten or twenty big shots.
After the court meeting, Shi Xiang and Qu Tutong, who had not seen the prince, hurried to the East Palace to ask for an audience.
"The prince has many things to do and has lost weight." Qu Tutong had watched Yang Ming grow up since childhood. Compared with before he left Beijing, Yang Ming had indeed lost some weight, but not much. Qu Tutong was just a flattery.
.
Yang Ming said calmly: "I rely on you two for matters in Hebei. After you leave, will Yu Juluo be responsible for handling the funeral affairs?"
Shi Xiang, who was sitting in his seat, nodded and said with a smile: "We are not very familiar with Hebei. Since the chaos is gone, naturally we still need Gao Tang Gong to end it."
"Is it okay to wrap things up like this?" Yang Ming lowered his head and played with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and said calmly.
Shi Xiang was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Qu Tutong, "You know the prince well, just tell me."
Qu Tu Channel: "I wonder how much your Highness knows about Hebei affairs?"
Yang Ming raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "What? If I didn't know, you wouldn't have said anything?"
"No, no, I don't have such intention. I dare not hide it from anyone else, your Majesty or you," Qu Tutong said with a smile.
The corner of Yang Ming's mouth curled up: "You'd better hide it from me, otherwise if I know everything, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave my Cheng'en Palace standing."
Qu Tutong was stunned for a moment, and felt all the hairs on his body stand up in an instant.
He knows Yang Ming very well. He has been a cruel person since he was a child, and he was raised by the Second Saint. He has a tough approach and a domineering personality.
With this sentence, it is obvious that he knows everything.
"I am guilty," Qu Tutong said quickly.
Yang Ming put down the string of Buddhist beads in his hand and sighed:
"I have never treated you as an outsider here. You are a member of the Holy Queen. I have been raised by the Holy Queen since I was a child, and my relationship with you has always been very close. What kind of temperament do I have? You know, the Holy Queen
She is very compassionate, and you know that if the Holy Queen were here, what do you think she would do to you?"
The corner of Qu Tutong's mouth twitched: "I am guilty, please forgive me, the prince."
"Then tell me, how should I punish him?" Yang Ming's words were directed at Qu Tutong, but they were also addressed to Shi Xiang, who was also sitting on pins and needles and dared not say a word.
Qu Tutong knew that today's trip to the East Palace would not be easy, so he put all the blame on Yu Wenhuaji:
"I and the other two don't want to do this, but Yu Wenhuaji is the commander-in-chief of the march, and we are deputy commanders. The army must obey the general's orders, so we and I have no choice but to do so."
Shi Xiang hurriedly agreed: "Moreover, the two of us and Yu Juluo jointly reported this matter. The memorial made it very clear. I wonder if Your Highness has read it?"
"Whether you have seen it or not, it's the same," Yang Ming said in a deep voice: "Yu Wenhua and He killed indiscriminately, and you two also killed indiscriminately. A memorial to shirk blame is not a gold medal for immunity from death, but you two also
Don’t worry, I won’t ask you about your sins, I will only punish you at most.”
After saying that, Yang Ming looked at Qu Tutong: "I have been in the army for a long time and I am a man of steel and iron. Can you bear twenty whips?"
Qu Tutong was stunned, and quickly stood up and half-knelt on the ground: "I can bear it, please punish me, the prince."
I have been serving Yang Jian and his wife in the past, so I naturally understand the truth. Hitting and scolding you is for your own good, and it shows that they still take you seriously and ignore you, which is the most terrifying thing.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Ming said again: "Since Yangcheng County Duke is old, I will not punish him. Pei Shuang, please give Yichuan County the punishment."
Shi Xiang lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. He was older, but he was only six or seven years older than Qu Tutong. The prince had clearly disowned him. You are not mine and I will not punish you.
Pei Shuang came over with a whip and whipped Qu Tutong so hard that he fell to the ground, leaving his skin and flesh torn.
Yang Ming stood up and came to Qu Tutong, hanging the string of Buddhist beads around his neck:
"God has the virtue of a good life, and Mr. Yichuan must take care of himself in the future."
"I...I must change my ways," Qu Tutong gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, saying with a painful expression.
Yang Ming said to Pei Shuang: "Find an imperial doctor and ask Yang Xuanting to escort Duke Yichuan out of the palace. Then go to Yuwenshu's gate and treat him on the spot. I will punish those who should not be punished, and I will hide away from those who should be punished, haha...
....”
In this way, Qu Tutong was carried away, leaving Shi Xiang restless.
"Hebei has killed 70,000 people. How many of them should not have been killed?" Yang Ming sat down again and said calmly.
Shi Xiang swallowed subconsciously and said: "I haven't calculated it carefully, uh... maybe 40%. It shouldn't be a capital crime. After all, it is rebellion, so the punishment is a bit harsh."
Yang Ming said: "Did you kill like this in Goguryeo?"
Shi Xiang said with a bitter face: "My duty is to protect His Majesty, and there is no war."
"Oh...is this just called Woliheng?" Yang Ming asked.
Shi Xiang couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly stood up and said: "I am really helpless. It was Yu Wenhuaji's order. I must obey it, right? Prince Mingjian, Qu Tutong and I have already stopped in the second half of the battle."
, we also know that the crime this time is not small."
Yang Ming nodded: "You two can be regarded as accomplices at most. As accomplices, there is not much crime. Besides, Yu Wenhuaji may not be accused this time. But remember, if His Majesty asks about you in the future, you
Just say you were forced."
Shi Xiang suddenly understood: "I was forced, Yu Juluo can prove it."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Who is opposed to Yu Wenhua and his knighthood in today's court meeting?" Yang Ming asked.
Shi Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had finally passed this test:
"During Liaodong, most people were against it. After all, Huaji's defense on the northern line of Liaodong City was unfavorable, and Tu Wanxu failed to attack the city. This is at fault. Although it is said that the son inherited his father's influence, Huaji's reputation
It’s not good, so in Liaodong, everyone was against it, but in today’s court meeting, only Mr. Yang and his uncle and nephew were very opposed. Others, maybe they saw His Majesty’s intentions, so they didn’t say anything else.”
Yang Ming nodded: "Has it been sealed?"
"No, Mr. Yang objected very strongly, so His Majesty did not grant the seal at the moment. However, His Majesty was very unhappy because someone reported on Xuangan and annexed land in Shandong," Shi Xiang said.
Good guy, is this a fight?
Dad is unhappy with Yang Yue's family. Yang Ming knows it, but if he is unhappy, it can only be unhappy. Now that Yang Guang wants to touch Yang Yue, it is no longer possible to do so.
Yang Ming has a total of five sons, three of whom are Yang Xuangan's grandsons. If you touch others, you will be at odds with your own grandson. Yang Guang will not do such a thing.
Moving Yang Yue has already implicated the country's foundation. How can we move it? We can't move it.
It is impossible to expect a land annexer to bring down the Minister of Rites and the boss of Sili Tai. It is impossible to get him punished. At most, he will only get a few words of reprimand.
Yang Ming was relatively pleased. Yang Yue always stood on the same side as him. With his treacherous and cunning temperament, he still had to fight Yu Wenshu even though he knew he had offended the emperor. It was quite interesting.
"Okay, you can go back. If His Majesty asks you what you said when you came here, reply truthfully," Yang Ming said.
Shi Xiang nodded: "I understand."
Sure enough, as soon as Shi Xiang stepped out of the East Palace, his hind legs were taken away by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Today is really bad luck. After passing one level, there is still another level to go. Shi Xiang sighed in his heart. I am innocent. His Majesty asked me to follow Yu Wenhua and suppress the rebellion. I said no, now it’s okay.
