Pei Shuying has a very strong temper. Although her temper has softened a little after becoming a mother, her nature cannot be changed.
After listening to Yang Ming's narration, her face turned gloomy and terrifying, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"The second brother is really capable of doing all kinds of dirty things. He dares to rob his younger brother's woman. Is there something wrong with his mind?"
Yang Ming said: "Let's take revenge. When he was in Luoyang, he fell in love with Xiaotang and wanted to take it for himself. But I sent people to help Xiaotang get rid of the siege and killed his staff Qiao Lingze. He must have been because of this.
Grudge."
"My father is also a British master. How could he have such a son?" Pei Shuying said with disdain: "No wonder my father has not dared to give him power for so many years. He is really unworthy."
After saying that, Pei Shuying frowned and said, "It's okay if you don't know about this. Now that we know, we can't be nice to him."
"Don't act rashly for the time being. Neither my father nor my mother wants me to break up with him," Yang Ming said with a smile, "As long as you know, don't spread the word."
Pei Shuying sighed quietly: "It's only a matter of time before your brothers fall out. You have to be careful. The second brother must also understand in his heart. Be careful when he jumps over the wall."
Yang Ming nodded.
He stayed in Yichun Palace for most of today. Just after dinner, the chamberlain came to report that Pei Ju was here.
"I didn't expect the prince to be here," Pei Ju smiled and saluted Yang Ming, and then sat down with his daughter holding his arm.
Yang Ming frowned and said, "Did Mr. Pei just lose his value?"
Pei Ju nodded: "I just sent Feng Ning back to the province. I didn't even have time to have a bite of dinner."
When Pei Shuying heard this, she quickly ordered her servants to prepare meals: "What? Did the conversation not go well?"
Pei Ju smiled and said: "Of course it won't go smoothly. Such a big thing cannot be settled in a short while. It takes time."
"What did you talk about today?" Yang Ming asked.
Pei Ju said: "The main reason is Qiu He's appointment. There are differences between the two sides. The court refuses to give in. Feng Ning is not happy for Qiu He to go to Lingnan."
"You are too blatant," Yang Ming simply sat down opposite Pei Ju and said with a smile: "What does Qiu He do? He rearranged the defenses at Yanmen Pass. Will they be happy if you put such a person in Lingnan?
?”
The terrain of Lingnan determined that the possibility of their rebellion being successful was slim, but it was also very difficult for the Sui Dynasty to conquer Lingnan.
The reason is that the five ridges of Wuling, Yuecheng ridge, Dupong ridge, Mengzhu ridge, Qitian ridge and Dayu ridge form a natural barrier in the northern part of Lingnan. As long as people hold on to several important checkpoints in Wuling, the imperial army will be able to defeat them.
Can't get down.
During the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty, two methods were used to deploy troops to Lingnan, corresponding to the Guizhou Road and the Guangzhou Road.
Guizhou Road is about direct action and pushing forward all the way. Guangzhou Road is about negotiation and discussing with others carefully.
Because the Guizhou Road area is closer to the Central Plains and adjacent to the Jingzhou General Administration. When Wei Shikang was the first Jingzhou General Administration, Guizhou was under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou. Later, in order to take care of Lingnan, it was set aside.
When going to Guizhou, there is a very easy waterway, that is, the Xiangjiang River, which originates from the Yuecheng Ridge and between the Dupang Ridge. At the end of the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River, there is a water channel dug during the Qin Dynasty called Lingqu, which connects the Xiangjiang River and the Li River.
When connected, it flows through Shi'an County, the capital of Shi'an County, and Shi'an County is Guizhou, which is Guilin, Guangxi.
From this route, the imperial army could march straight in and control the Guizhou Road area, but not Guangzhou.
The Guizhou area and the Guangzhou area are separated by large mountains, but there is no suitable marching route in Sandaoling to the north of Guangzhou.
Pei Ju said while eating: "Even if it is not out of caution against Ning Changzhen, the two counties of Shi'an and Yulin must be controlled by the imperial court, because they are deeply connected with the Central Plains and are easy to control."
Contact depends on roads. Guizhou and Jingzhou in Hunan are connected by water and land. There will definitely be connections between the two places. This is why control is convenient because there are roads.
Yang Ming nodded, deeply convinced.
Historically, during the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were two rebel leaders in the south, Xiao Xian and Lin Shihong. Lingnan was blocked by these two factions at that time and completely lost contact with the Central Plains.
In desperation, Li Xizhi, Li Guangdu, Ning Changzhen, Qiu He, and Li Jun, who were stationed on Guizhou Road, attached themselves to Xiao Mian, and Yang Shilue, Gao Facheng, Xi Baoche, and Feng An, who were stationed on Guangzhou Road, surrendered to Lin Shihong.
This is determined by the geographical situation, which means that Guangxi belongs to Xiao Xian and Guangdong belongs to Lin Shihong.
In Pei Ju's arrangement, the governor of Shi'an County was his son Pei Xuanji. This county was in the northernmost part of Lingnan. If something happened, it would be easy for Pei Xuanji to escape.
After all, he is his own father, so he would definitely not dare to let his son go deep into Lingnan.
"I planned to go to the Ministry of War tomorrow, but the Ministry of War has also been discussing with Lingnan recently. It seems that it will take a few days," Yang Ming said.
Pei Ju frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"I have been to the Ministry of War many times, and I have witnessed the review process with my own eyes. If His Highness hopes that Yuwenshu will continue, there is an opportunity now, but we cannot say what changes will happen after he goes, so I think that Yuwenshu
Can't move now."
Yang Ming nodded: "It can't be moved. The contribution to the destruction of the country has been concluded. To overthrow it now would be a disgrace to His Majesty, and it would be difficult to explain to the world. Yuwenshu's prestige has been established. If you want to move him, you can't be involved in the expedition.
Together, if we get involved, we can’t move.”
Pei Ju said with a look of relief: "I was really worried that His Highness would take action against Yu Wenshu, but now it seems that I was overly worried."
From Pei Ju's point of view, Yu Wenshu cannot move. No matter what mistakes the other party makes, you can help me attract the attention of the Yang family in the court, which is beneficial to me.
Once Yu Wenshu falls, Yang Yue and the others will definitely turn against him.
Now the Pei and Yang families are in harmony on the surface, but secretly a storm is brewing.
Pei Ju felt that his family could not defeat Yang Yue at the moment, because Yang Yue had the crown prince and his concubine behind him, as well as a direct descendant from the East Palace.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So he planned to lift up another person and let this person continue to help him support him in front.
"I plan to recommend Li Yuan to serve as Minister Zuocheng. What do you think, Your Highness?" Pei Ju asked tentatively.
Yang Ming frowned slightly and asked curiously: "Pei Gong and Li Yuan are not familiar with each other, right?"
Pei Ju smiled and said: "Li Yuan is a very powerful person. His Majesty will not object to him taking this position. I am indeed not familiar with him. It is because of my unfamiliarity that I dare to recommend him."
He wanted to reassure Yang Ming, meaning don't worry, Li Yuan is His Majesty's man, Jiancheng is your man, and their family has nothing to do with me.
Why not? He and Pei Yun are related by marriage, are you two planning to form an alliance?
Have you asked me?
"Can Li Yuan like it?" Yang Ming said with a smile.
Li Yuan had great ambitions, and he came here to be a minister, but among the six ministries, the Ministry of Works, which has the lowest power, definitely did not have his share, because he was not a technical talent, and the largest official ministry did not have his turn. He did not have the ability and
prestige.
That's four movies left. It's unrealistic to expect Xuangan to make room for him. As long as Xuangan doesn't rebel, he will still be old.
Therefore, what Li Yuan can hope for is Cui Zhongfang's Civil Affairs Department, Changsun Chi's Criminal Affairs Department, and Duan Wenzhen's Military Affairs Department. These three people are all older.
Whichever one dies first, Li Yuan can take over. This is basically known to everyone. Everyone knows that Li Yuan is currently the first candidate for the position of Minister.
Pei Ju smiled and said: "He is definitely willing. After occupying this position, he entered the Shangshu Province so that he can familiarize himself with the official affairs of the province early. If it were someone else, your Majesty would not agree, and you, the prince, would not agree."
Yang Yue would not agree to let Li Yuan go. Unfortunately, the Yang family did not have a suitable candidate. Among his three younger brothers, Yang Yue, the youngest, was still promising.
The third child, Yang Shen, the fourth child, Yang Xun, and Yang Yue almost don’t want to recognize them anymore. One is the minister of the Ministry of Public Affairs, only the sixth grade, and the other is the school secretary of the secretary province. They have already entered the lying-down pension.
At this stage, people’s interest is not in climbing up at all.
"I won't get involved in this matter, you should recommend me," Yang Ming said calmly.
Pei Ju could tell that Yang Ming didn't care, so he nodded.
After the court meeting the next day, Yu Wenshu hurried to the Ministry of War, where he was waiting for the prince.
Because the prince said that he would come to the Ministry of War today to review the entire expedition process. He came to explain it to the prince.
Why did he leave Yu Zhongwen to rescue Wei Xuan? Why didn't he fight Gao Dayang early? He had already thought of a countermeasure last night.
As for Duan Wenzhen, he was originally going to participate in the negotiations with Lingnan, but he didn't leave today. They both waited for Yang Ming.
"Is that an exaggeration? How come Yu Zhongwen was almost wiped out?" Yu Wenshu stood beside the sand table, flipping through a file, and frowned:
"His main force was not damaged. Even though he was surrounded by Eulji Mundeok and Go Jianwu, he still had the power to fight decisively. How could he record how many times he was about to be destroyed? Who wrote this? Doesn't this destroy me?"
Duan Wenzhen was sitting on the side, hehe said: "Don't ask me, the Ministry of War's review is very rigorous. The statements of the generals of each department will be written truthfully. The Taishi Ling is also watching, who dares to talk nonsense?"
Taishi Ling is Zhang Zhouxuan, who studied under the lineage of Zu Chong. What Yang Guang did after he succeeded to the throne, others would dare to write it into the history books for you.
There is also Secretary and Young Superintendent Wang Shao, who is also keeping an eye on him, because Taishi Cao is under the supervision of the Secretary Provincial Department, and Yuan Tiangang is also in this department now.
Yu Wenshu said angrily: "How can Master Liang dare to insult me after just writing this nonsense? Liang Pi has such a good stepson."
Liang Shidu was under the command of Yu Zhongwen. When he attacked Wugu City, he was the vanguard. This guy participated in the whole process. As for how close it was to being destroyed, this was what Yu Zhongwen scolded Yu Wenshu during a meeting in the military tent.
Said that time.
The original words are: Yuwen's advance to the east has put us in danger. If we do not retreat north in time, the main force will be destroyed soon.
Division Liang had all been changed, and it was changed directly to the point where the whole army was almost wiped out.
This kid is a smart man. He was originally arranged by Yang Ming to join the army, but Yu Wenshu didn't like him, so he joined the army from the Leopard Cavalry Army and kicked him under Yu Zhongwen's command, becoming an army of four thousand platoons.
General, belongs to the cannon fodder team who plays forward.
Master Liang holds a grudge. If you let me be cannon fodder, I will do it to you.
The reason why he had this courage was that Master Liang felt that he belonged to the prince and the prince valued him very much.
