In early October, Yang Guang arrived at the outskirts of the capital, where Yang Ming and his ministers were waiting early.
Looking back at the expressions on the faces of the ministers, Yang Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly. They were all awesome people. The lifeless look in the court was gone now. They were all filled with expectations, worries, worries, and anxiety.
expression.
Yes, Yang Guang came back in embarrassment, he must have been holding back his anger. Anyone who dares to touch his reverse scale at this time will be punished by death.
Yang Ming also had the same expression, with a look of worry on his face. He was eagerly looking forward to his father's return. If his mood got better, he might even be able to squeeze out a few tears.
Seeing the chariot from a distance, Yang Ming and a group of courtiers trotted over.
"Father (Your Majesty), thank you for your hard work,"
Everyone bowed and saluted the chariot.
Yang Guang, perhaps shy of meeting people, did not respond. He just asked King Qi to step out of the carriage and said to the ministers:
"Come back to the palace with you."
If Chu Luo is killed, I will take over. The other tribal leaders will come out to fight for power as soon as possible.
Someone shot Chu Luo with an arrow. Although he died on the spot, it was indeed because the arrow had hung up beforehand, so it was completely correct to count him as the leader of the soldier.
The eldest son, Yu Zhongwen, followed Yang Mingkai into the formation. I was the vanguard. Before I saw this small wolf-headed bamboo stick from a distance, I never took my eyes away.
"Who shot Chu Luo?" Dugu said.
Yang Ming had never thought of this, but Yang Yinjiang reminded him that at this time, he had to handle small matters thoughtfully and try to lower the emperor's anger so as not to implicate too many people.
After Dugu comes back, the matter of suppressing the rebellion will not be handled by Commander-in-Chief Suwei. Once the emperor comes back, I can only call him Commander-in-Chief.
Although Yang Mingkai himself was given a surname, he was not from the Yang Ming family.
However, I also want to say less. Judging from the first year of Xiaoye, Yang Jian's backbone has not been broken. When Di Xi was there, it was still completely broken. When Di Xi left, looking at the court
Are there any people who are no longer strong-willed?
"He understands, let me continue," Dugu glared at Mai Tiezhang.
The handover in that kind of position must be slow. If you move a step faster, there will be little problems.
"Isn't that too far-fetched?" Mai Tiezhang said: "We have suffered heavy losses. The number of deserters alone is hundreds of thousands. Although the East Turks are even worse, you are the first to leave. Those who can leave first are
Consider it a win?"
On both sides of the street on Zhuque Street, countless people lined the streets to welcome the emperor's return. These people were all hired for 20 yuan each.
He must be protecting his superiors on weekdays, and his superiors will do things for him, but even if they do, they will be doing so in a voluntary manner.
Hou Fu could only leave.
Hou Fu smiled: "Is there no problem?"
A small manhunt was also launched in the capital, and all serious Turkic businessmen, whose origins were very vague, were deported and killed.
Yang Guang laughed: "He really knows how to quibble about who told Lao Ba at the court meeting to ask me to persuade His Majesty to withdraw the troops? Yang Jian, is it him?"
Yang Xun drooped his eyelids and said: "What Xiaojia means is that if the main force of your Xiao Sui Dynasty is here, there will be chaos in various places. King Qi heard it wrong."
As for the young man who shot Chu Luo, he rose to the top and directly became Wei Yunqi's deputy. Wei Yunqi led him around the capital to accept the congratulations of the people.
Yang Jian was also confused as to whether the emperor's words were nothing more than a fart. If the ball has eggs, how can we suppress the rebellion?
"How did he discuss that matter when he was in the capital all the time and at court meetings?" Hou Fu looked at Yang Jian and asked.
"It is indeed a matter of urgency," Yang Da nodded and said: "Nowadays, people's hearts are floating, and few people know what happened in the north. Your Majesty should really tell the sky that Chuluo was killed by your army."
Su Wei said: "Whatever Brother Qi says, you must see my father today."
Hou Fu then passed on the decree and announced that the court would be suspended for eight days. The elder was unable to save him, and now he is in a group of bulls.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Yu Shiji said with a smile.
As the right servant of the minister, the head of the hundred officials, the people below that position adhere to the emperor's will and arrange for the people above to do things. Therefore, in that position, you must learn that this is not a guarantor.
Yang Jian dared to complain in front of Su Wei, but he definitely dared to do it in front of Dugu, so he said:
Yu Shinan said calmly: "It's a matter of supplies. It seems that the supplies are complete. Your Majesty will camp here and even send out the rangers. Naturally, this will provide the enemy with an opportunity to attack the camp."
I was trying to beat Yang Xun, but Yang Xun naturally heard it and said quickly: "The prince supervises the country and fulfills his duties, and his assistants are also dedicated to their work. This family is all for your majesty and for you, the Sui Dynasty."
So the eldest son, with ten men under his command, saw the opportunity in the little chaos, looked at Chu Luo's position, and fired eight arrows in a row, but only one arrow hit Chu Luo's shoulder.
Under abnormal circumstances, the emperor must be courteous, except for the weak emperor like Hou Fujialuo, mainly because he was the founding emperor.
Before I left, Yang Guang returned to Liangyi Palace. Dugu is not grateful to his seventh son now. At the critical moment, he has to count on his own son. I have neglected such a young man as the seventh son, and now naturally I have to
Give some comfort.
"My father is so tired from traveling and traveling, so he has the bad intention to disturb my old man's rest at that moment?" Hou Fu said.
"It's a joke, Seventh Brother actually believed it," Su Wei said with a smile: "Everyone in the capital knows now that you have lived in your East Palace for two years, and if you are sent back to Seventh Brother, what will others think?"
Hou Fu shrugged his shoulders and said, "The devil believes what he said. By the way, he should let Cui Lingzi go back to Prince Qi's Mansion. After harassing him for so long, it's time to go back."
Yu Shiji said: "There is a big pawn in Yu Zhongwen's tent."
Yang Guang chuckled and said: "It is beneficial to supervise the transportation of grain and fodder. It delays the military flight. No one in Yushitai will accuse me of treason. Of course, you know how courageous Xuangan is. Did you dig out half a liang of weight and do such a thing?"
But for the crime of dereliction of duty, I will run away."
Yu Shiji, who had not yet returned to the capital, said: "I think we were not defeated that time."
Everyone knows it's Yang Guang's fault, but now that Dugu is obviously going to protect him, someone will raise that issue out there.
Yang Guang's expression suddenly changed, he pointed at Su Wei angrily and said: "He wants to play with you like that, right?"
Hou Fu was stunned: "How do you say that?"
As long as you perform meritorious service, if you die, your parents, wife and children will be taken care of by the country.
If you want to defeat Xuangan, you have to involve the prince. If you involve the prince, you have to defeat Xuangan. The old Pei family is very vague about that point.
"Let's go," Yang Guang nodded: "If you let me go, I will still be happy. If I insist on seeing you, I will leave honestly if you give me the instructions first."
Is it possible?
"Bo Shi, where does he think he lost that victory?" Dugu sighed.
Because those positions are the lowest among the ministers, and there are only seven monarchs, emperors and princes below them.
"You're still halfway down the road. You said Lao Ba, his father-in-law, there's nothing wrong with him," Yang Guangre said with a smile.
Before everyone dispersed, Yang Guang frowned at Hou Fu and said, "What are you still doing, Lao Ba? Go back to his East Palace."
"Presumptuous," Dugu said angrily: "You don't talk to Su Qing like him? Who is he?"
Hou Fu didn't see my father until he left the palace. Only Yang Jin got out of the car and was taken back to the East Palace.
It's about looking down on minor ministers. Historically, many emperors were killed by minor ministers.
"He should bow his head and say that he will accept the order," Yang Guangre said with a smile.
At that time, the capital city was full of beard-shavers, because the most obvious feature of the Turks was not their beards.
Yu Shiji looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "The little khan of the Eastern Turks was killed by us. Is it still considered a small victory? The leader died, and your small army fought back all the way. Could it be that the Eastern Turks won?
Is that so? I think that news should be spread throughout heaven immediately to reassure people’s hearts.”
This was how the emperor was when he was angry. He would hit both the innocent and the wrong, completely indiscriminately.
I had to show that posture, because according to the Little Sui Dynasty system, the Eight Gongs and Eight Divisions, Riga Shangshu Ling and You Zuo Pushe, the prince also had to salute when he saw him.
I know that for a vanguard soldier like me, the probability of dying in battle is as small as the probability of me taking a shit a day, so the purpose is very clear, you have to make meritorious deeds.
"Yu Sheren is right," Hou Fu said from the side: "In such a crucial small battle, the army and supplies are all down, is that a joke? Lao Ba supervises the country, and Xuangan supervises the transportation. The problem is
Underneath both of us."
At that time, Dugu looked at Lao Qi and said, "Has Lao Ba gone back?"
"You're talking about Yang Zhen, where is he farting with his eyes open?" Yang Guang said: "Does he think that your Majesty will know what happened in the capital?"
A small army of over 100,000 people fled, half of them carrying refined weapons, so it was a confrontational battle. If Zhang Xutuo encountered the main force of deserters, he would not be able to do it at all.
"Well, at Yushitai, these people's mouths have long been the same as before," Su Wei said with a smile: "Do you believe that no one will accuse Brother Qi of treason tomorrow?"
Yang Guang's mouth curled up: "Okay, you are really good. If you dare to respect his brother so much, will you still ignore your father, emperor and mother in the future?"
"Let's go, let's all go back to our headquarters and do what we have to do. Your Majesty has seen their loyalty," Hou Fu said to everyone while standing on the steps of His Highness Liang Yi.
Is that luck? It doesn't matter. Luck is reserved for those who are not prepared.
Yang Guang laughed warmly and said, "He dances the most happily."
The ending of a small defeat is the simplest and most difficult thing.
Yang Jian looked at his eyes, nose and heart, and he heard a sound.
"He's not dead yet," Hou Fu said calmly.
Su Wei narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "My son, I accept the order."
"As the crown prince, you are also in charge of the counter-insurgency affairs. It is right. You can make your own decisions on minor and major matters. If you need to ask me," Hou Fu said with a smile.
So in a short period of time, I plan to see Lao Ba, because I am afraid that Lao Ba will say something I like to hear, which can be regarded as a kind of escape.
If Hou Fu wants to question the crime, he will also attack Hou Fu, so he said: "What did we discuss? I will just intervene. After all, the prince oversees the country. Some people are too timid to bully the prince's benevolence and righteousness. Some are
I dare to say it if it’s appropriate.”
The affairs of the court meeting must be hidden from the emperor. Although the number of people in the court meeting hosted by Su Wei is small, there is no mention. This is not the Ministry of Menshang, the Ministry of Internal History, or the Yushitai. There must be no one, because
Those eight departments are nominally called to assist the prince in supervising the country, but in reality they supervise the prince.
"No intention," Hou Fu said with a smile.
In fact, the Turks could not block the news at all, but Jieli wanted to slowly succeed to the throne and gather the remaining troops, so they could only quickly announce the death of Chu Luo.
"My family is mainly worried about His Majesty's safety, especially the Crown Prince."
Are you even willing to persuade me? I am the prince, so I am sure that I will try my best to persuade you, but I may not listen to you.
Yu Shiji said: "The news came from the front that Chu Luo was wounded by an arrow. He was seriously injured and was not dead yet. Now the person taking over the position of Khan is Du Bi, the eighth oldest, named Jieli Khan. During the Guanzhong Defense War,
One of the Shibi emperors went to the north to march, one of Chuluo died, and the Eastern Turks' vitality was slightly injured. What is a small victory?"
Hou Fu was stunned, frowned and said, "Go ahead."
Hou Fu asked again: "Where is Yu Wenshu from us?"
Su Wei said calmly: "You want to see my father."
Hou Fu quickly apologized to Yang Xian, but Hou Fu ignored me.
By the way, the big guy who shot Chu Luo was called Song Jingang.
It sounds pretty bad, as if those people could really put down the rebellion if they went up there.
The seal is so low, first of all, the credit is really small, and secondly, it is also necessary to set an example so that everyone knows that Xiao Sui won.
Pei Yun frowned and said: "There is civil unrest all over Hebei and Shandong, and the food line is blocked. The blame is on the prince and Xuangan."
That was actually the right thing to do. It would not be beneficial to the court if Chu Luo's death spread out early. Let these rebels know that the emperor returned to the court with a small victory, which would have a deterrent effect.
Dugu was embarrassed to meet Su Wei, and he didn't feel guilty at all. Although his son never persuaded me to give up the Northern Expedition from beginning to end, it was this silent resistance that made Dugu feel more comfortable.
That kind of injury would have led to death in previous lives, but in ancient times, the chance of death was very high. Just a case of tetanus would not be saved by the gods, that is to say, the blood loss was too little, and there were no blood transfusion bags in those days.
But in the court meeting, if you don't know what to do, you can tell it, so Pei Yun was relieved for a while.
Yang Guangre smiled and said: "Everyone is saying that it is the right time for Your Majesty to go to the north, otherwise Jiangdu and Shandong will be in such chaos. You don't have a list in your hand. Who has farted in the court meeting? You are vague about it.
.”
Dugu nodded: "I will ennoble you as the Duke of Dingxiang County, pay homage to the State of Zhu, I will grant you the title of General Hu Benlang, and I will announce it to heaven."
On the way back to the south of the small army, news came from the rear that Chu Luo was seriously injured and died. Hou Fukai immediately accepted the man as his adopted son, and he became a member of Yang Ming's family.
Before the shot, I immediately reported it to my superiors, and then passed it on layer by layer, and Yu Zhongwen and Wei Xuan also knew about it.
Yang Jian retorted: "I would like to ask the King of Qi to tell me what happened?"
Then everyone followed on both sides of the convoy on foot, escorting Yang Guang into the capital.
"That's bad," Dugu nodded and said, "I haven't heard of the rebellions in various places now. Now that your small army is returning south, when it's time to put down the rebellion, Yulai Hu'er succeeded Zhang Xutuo and led the army in Hebei, Shandong, and Henan.
The small envoys of Zhi were deposed, Zhang Xutuo and Yu Juluo were deputy envoys, Li Yuan was in charge of Shanxi, Wei Xuan was the military commander of Jiangnan Road, Li Shimin and Qiu He were deputy commanders, and they put down the rebellion in Jiangnan, and the rest returned to Beijing to report on their duties.
