Yang Guang got the news of Yang Xuangan's rebellion in Beiping County. At that time, he was shocked and at a loss. He immediately convened a cabinet meeting to make emergency arrangements, declared Yang Xuangan a traitor, and deprived him of all official positions and titles just like Yuan Shou and Yuan Hong Si.
.
Yang Guang immediately ordered Yang Gongren, the governor of Zhuo County, to lead fifty thousand troops from Linshuo Palace as the vanguard to support Luoyang. At the same time, he ordered Yu Wenshu and Lai Hu'er to be the marshals on the left and right to counter the rebellion, each leading one hundred thousand troops to attack Yang Xuangan's rebel army.
After some emergency arrangements, Yang Guang's panic calmed down a little. In the royal study, Yang Guang paced back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back. He was no longer as calm and calm as he was during the Yuan family's rebellion. If it were another family
The rebellion of the Guanlong nobles may have been expected by him.
It happened that it was another power group, and the gentry in Guan Nei rebelled, which made Yang Guang feel even more pressure. Yang Guang knew very well that if he did not use thunderous means to eliminate Yang Xuangan's rebellion, and if time went on, it was very likely that the Shandong gentry would also have someone.
If they rebel, and then the southern nobles rebel, then the world will really be in chaos.
At this time, Yang Guang was most worried about Yang Yuanqing's attitude. Yang Yuanqing's threat was far greater than that of Yang Xuangan. A few days ago, he secretly ordered Yang Yichen and Wang Rengong to force Yang Yuanqing's army, but Yang Guang also knew that with these two men alone,
The branch cannot control Yang Yuanqing, and if it is not handled properly, it will be eaten by him.
At this time, the eunuch reported at the door, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Pei wants to see you!"
Yang Guang's thoughts changed and he immediately said: "Invite him to visit."
After a while, Pei Ju hurriedly walked into the imperial study, took off his hat, knelt down and apologized, "I am guilty, and I specifically ask your Majesty to punish me."
"What's the crime of loving Qing?" Yang Guang asked, pretending to be surprised.
"Xuangan rebelled. The Pei and Yang families are in-laws. I am extremely frightened and ask your Majesty to punish him."
Yang Guang laughed and said, "My dear, please get back on your feet."
Pei Ju stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he came to apologize, mostly just as a gesture, he was really nervous not for Yang Xuangan, but for Yang Yuanqing. He was worried that Yang Yuanqing would also rebel with the Yang family.
Yang Guang could feel the tension in his heart, not to mention that he had no intention of punishing the Pei family at this time. He did not want to provoke resistance from the Shandong gentry, and he used the Pei family to stabilize Yang Yuanqing and prevent the Yang family from echoing from north to south.
Yang Guang smiled slightly, "If the in-laws are also implicated, then the Yuan family rebels, and Lian should also be punished. The Shang Lian knows very well that the Pei family and Yang Xuangan's rebellion have nothing to do with each other. Ai Qing, don't worry about whether Lian will be punished."
.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Pei Ju thanked him and left, and Yang Guang asked the eunuch standing at the door, "What's the matter with the well?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Yu urgently asks for an audience!"
Yang Guang was really fed up. Yu Shiji's arrival would definitely bring bad news, which would make him troubled, but he couldn't help but see it.
"Announce him to come in!"
Soon Yu Shiji walked into the imperial study, bowed and saluted, "I see your Majesty."
"What's the matter?" Yang Guang's tone was already a little impatient.
"Reply to your Majesty, I am here because of Yang Yuanqing's affairs."
Hearing that it was for Yang Yuanqing, Yang Guang's impatience was immediately swept away. He slowly sat down and said, "You tell me!"
"Bi Ping, I am very worried that Yang Yuanqing will follow Yang Xuangan in rebellion..."
Before Yu Shiji finished speaking, Yang Guang waved his hand to interrupt him. Although Yang Guang was anxious at this time, he was not confused about important matters.
"Yang Xuangan rebelled in Liyang, but Yang Yuanqing made no move in Liaodong, which shows that they had no tacit understanding, and they jointly ordered him to conquer Liaoning, and he had no excuse not to go. Unlike the other Yang family members, who all fled in advance, this left the joint
Understand - Yang Xuangan rebelled, but Yang Yuanqing did not know about it. Although they have the name of father and son, they have no father-son relationship, so Lian believes that things can still turn around."
Yu Shiji did not expect Yang Guang to see the problem so thoroughly. He originally wanted to persuade Yang Guang to divide his troops and go north to cooperate with Yang Yichen and Wang Rengong to annihilate Yang Yuanqing, but now he realized that Yang Guang would not adopt his suggestion.
Yu Shiji was good at adapting to the wind, so he immediately changed his attitude. Feng "Chen's meaning is that you need to prepare for a rainy day and prepare for certain things in advance."
Yang Guang nodded. He could hear Yu Shiji's suggestion. "You say it!"
"I am worried that if Yang Yuanqing really rebels, who will respond to him? Ordinary civil servants will not care. The main thing is those who hold military power. Your Majesty must seize their power first."
This sentence reminded Yang Guang. He thought for a moment and said, "Are you talking about Yu Juluo and Zhang Xutuo?"
"Exactly!"
Yang Guang paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. He felt it was a bit inappropriate to touch the two of them at this time. If the conflict was aggravated, the gain would outweigh the loss.
Yu Shiji had already had a case in his mind. He was actually entrusted by Yu Wenshu to take this opportunity to expand the power of the Yuwen family.
Yu Shiji said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it is impossible to have both sides of everything, but we can choose a relatively safe method to eliminate these two hidden dangers."
Yang Guang stopped and looked back at him, "What's the safe method?"
Yu Shiji smiled and said: "Yu Juluo can use the method of promotion to transfer him away from Fengzhou. As for Zhang Xutuo, the same method of promotion can be used to transfer him back to the court. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Yang Guang raised his head and thought for a long time, and finally nodded, "According to Ai Qing's words, Zhang Xutuo can be promoted to the minister of Guanglu Temple, and Xu Yuanfang, the prime minister of Qijun, is temporarily appointed as the prefect of Qijun. Yu Juluo is granted the title of Minister of Rites and praises Zuo Guanglu Dog.
Husband, Yang Shidao can temporarily act as the general manager...
Yu Shiji was actually seeking the position of general manager of Fengzhou. He quickly said: "Your Majesty, Yang Shidao is a civil servant after all. If you serve as the general manager, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop the rebels in the pass from invading Hetao."
"In your opinion, who can the Federation appoint as the general manager of Fengzhou?"
"I recommend Yu Wenshu's younger brother Yu Wence to be the general manager of Fengzhou. He once participated in the battle against Yuchi Jiong and was awarded the title of General for his merits. He has considerable combat experience."
It was more than thirty years ago to put down Wei Chijun's rebellion. After enjoying it for more than thirty years, he could not afford the military service. However, Yang Guang remembered that he had promised Yu Wenshu, and Yu Wenshu was loyal to him.
Since he wanted to express his gratitude to him, he nodded and agreed, "Okay! Let's make Yu Wence the general manager of Fengzhou."
Yu Shiji was overjoyed. He and Yuwenshu had an exchange of terms. He helped Yuwenshu's brother seek the position of governor of Fengzhou, and Yuwenshu helped his son seek the position of governor of Yuhang County.
"I will not disturb your majesty as you say goodbye!"
Following the issuance of several decrees, Yang Guang's troops packed up camp and continued to march towards Zhuojun. At this time, the eunuch Zhu Jingzhong found one of his confidants, a young eunuch, and handed him a small note and whispered:
: "Go to Dr. Chaosan Shen Guang quickly and give him this note."
Although Zhu Jingzhong could not be said to be Yang Yuanqing's man, he received a bonus of 2,000 yuan from Yang Yuanqing every month, and more than 20,000 yuan a year. He knew exactly what he should do.
The young eunuch had a low position and was not noticed by others. He quickly found Shen Guang who was unprepared and slipped the note to him.
Shen Guang opened the note and looked in his heart - surprised, before the team set off, he immediately found his confidant and ordered him to take the note to Liaodong quickly.
The situation in Liaodong was also stormy at this time. Due to the rebellion of the Yuan family, the attack on Goryeo came to an abrupt end. Yang Yichen's tribe in the north and Wang Rengong's tribe in the south withdrew to the west of the Liao River. They had received Yang Guang's secret order - Monitoring Yang Yuanqing from south to north. In terms of strength, Yang Yichen's and Wang Rengong's troops combined have nearly 90,000 people, and they are both elite divisions of the Sui army. Both of them are generals who have experienced hundreds of battles, and their defenses are tight. Give Yang Yuanqing any opportunity to take advantage of. The strength of the two sides is - three to one, and Yang Yuanqing is obviously at a disadvantage.
But emotionally speaking, both of them are Yang Su's old subordinates, especially Wang Rengong, who was once Yang Su's confidant. Although it is impossible for him to follow Yang Yuanqing, at least he will not launch an attack rashly, and Yang Yichen He also has a good relationship with Yang Yuanqing, and he is not willing to break up easily.
As if there was a tacit understanding, the three armies had been facing each other quietly. The two sides did not interact with each other, and they were all waiting for the situation to change.
In the Chinese army's tent, Yang Yuanqing held his arms and paced slowly inside the tent. He had just received the news of his father Yang Xuangan's rebellion. He was not surprised, let alone panicked. In fact, he had been waiting for it. This news.
The general direction of history is not wrong. Yang Xuangan rebelled as scheduled, but history has a small fork in the road. The Yuan family rebelled in Guanzhong, which makes history a little more variable. Will it follow the original track? , or it deviated from the course due to the influence of this fork.
But Yang Yuanqing is not thinking about changing history, but his own destiny. He needs to make decisions and take his destiny into his own hands.
"General manager, Li Sima wants to see you!" A soldier reported carefully at the door of the tent.
"Please come in!"
Although Yang Qiangqing wanted to be quiet at this time, he could understand Li Jing's mood. Yang Xuangan rebelled, and where he would go, this involved everyone's vital interests.
Li Jing walked into the camp worriedly. He had just heard the news about Yang Xuangan's rebellion. Yang Yuanqing did not block the news. Almost the entire camp knew about it. Although the army was very loyal to Yang Yuanqing, it did not cause an uproar**o. Keeping quiet does not mean that there are no worries in everyone's hearts. Everyone is worried and waiting for the attitude of the general Yang Yuanqing.
Li Jing was entrusted by dozens of civilian officers to come to Yang Yuanqing to ask for details.
"Li Jing, please see the manager!"
"Li Sima, you're welcome, please sit down!"
Yang Yuanqing calls Li Jing his uncle only in some special circumstances. Most of the time, they maintain a superior-subordinate relationship. Today should be a special situation, but for some reason, Yang Yuanqing still behaves like a superior. Receiving Li Jing.
Li Jing sat down and took a look at Yang Yuanqing's face. Seeing that he was calm as usual, he asked cautiously: "I have heard about Xuangan's rebellion. I just want to know what the manager's attitude is?"
Yang Yuanqing asked with a faint smile: "Li Sima only wants to know for himself, does he represent the thoughts of other colleagues?"
Li Jing smiled awkwardly, "Actually, everyone is very nervous. Everyone is paying attention to the manager's statement."
"I can understand this."
Yang Yuanqing nodded, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and suddenly turned around and asked, "I wonder what Uncle Shi's opinion is?"
At this moment, Yang Yuanqing switched their relationship to the personal realm again!
