In Daxing City, Yang Guang has been feeling a lot of pressure during this period of time.
The pressure on Yang Guang came not only from his fifth brother Yang Liang who was engaged in rebellion in Bingzhou, but also from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as Yang Guang's eldest sister, Princess Yang Lihua of Leping.
Needless to say, Yang Liang launched a rebellion with troops from fifty-two states. The total military strength was close to one-third of the country's military strength, and they were all elite border troops. It would be strange if Yang Guang was not worried!
As for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Yang Guang was even more upset.
One day, Yang Guang excitedly proposed to hold the imperial examination as a meritocracy. As soon as Yang Guang started, the civil and military officials of the court immediately opposed it. Some people even threatened that if Yang Guang dared to hold the imperial examination,
They resigned collectively.
After all, this is an extraordinary period, and people's hearts have not yet stabilized. Seeing that everyone is strongly opposed, Yang Guang can only give up for the time being.
There was another incident that also made Yang Guang very upset.
That is, a few days ago, Pujin Pass sent a battle report, saying that on the first day that Yuwen Chenglong's army arrived at Pujin Pass, they conducted a night attack and annihilated the 50,000-strong army of the rebel Yu Zhengzheng in one fell swoop.
Along with the battle report, there was also a bloody ball-shaped thing said to be Yu Zhengzheng's head.
This battle report was just a briefing and did not describe in detail how Yuwen Chenglong arranged the sneak attack. Therefore, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty raised serious doubts about this.
Some even said bluntly that Yuwen Chenglong must have lied about his military exploits! He also made a request that Yang Guang immediately send someone to replace Yuwen Chenglong, the pretty face coach, and just capture him and throw him into prison without even a trial.
I will wrongly accuse that pretty boy!
Faced with such an angry scene, Yang Guang was one of the top two!
However, what made Yang Guang even more troubled was that just after returning to the palace from the court, Yang Guang's eldest sister Princess Leping had already heard the news and entered the palace!
Princess Leping is not looking for her second brother to express their love for each other, but because of that pretty boy named Yuwen Chenglong!
After hearing what happened in the morning, Princess Leping was very angry. In front of Yang Guang, she cursed those rebellious officials and traitors for being jealous of talents and talents, and strongly demanded that Yang Guang send people to arrest them all and behead them one by one!
"This is too cruel!" After hearing this, Yang Guang was so cold that he could almost flood Daxing City!
However, the person who spoke was his eldest sister. Even if it made no sense, Yang Guang had to listen, right? And he had to listen with a smile on his face, and he had to try hard to act like a loser next to him.
Say "yes" loudly.
Accompanied by a lot of smiling faces, Yang Guang laughed until his face cramped, and said hundreds of good things. Yang Guang also swore that no matter what the final result was, he would never deal with Yuwen Chenglong's pretty boy, etc., Princess Leping
Then he reluctantly calmed down his anger and said that he would wait until Yuwen Chenglong came back to settle the accounts with those rebellious ministers and traitors, and so on.
After using up the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, Yang Guang finally suppressed both sides of the trouble temporarily, but within a few days, the second battle report from Pujin Pass came again!
This battle report is even more cruel, saying that Yuwen Chenglong will come up with another ingenious plan to wipe out the second group of rebels led by Yang Liang in one fell swoop. Qiao Zhongkui's army totals 60,000!
Along with this battle report, there was also a skull that was burnt black and unrecognizable. According to the letter, this was the head of the Second Route Army coach Qiao Zhongkui!
After reading this battle report, Yang Guang looked at the skull that could no longer tell whether it was a human or a pig. Yang Guang also became a little doubtful. Is this real?
Even if your little baby is bragging, why not brag like this? Although I know that you have some ability, and I also know that the strategy you devised is quite good, but it is not that high...
In less than five days, you destroyed the enemy's 110,000-strong army? Are you too capable?
According to your boast, even Sun Wu, Han Xin, and Zhuge Liang combined are not as capable as you alone?
Yang Guang had already thought this, not to mention the ministers below. They were all wailing and howling as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and once again strongly demanded that the pretty boy of the Yuwen family be punished!
The more radical ones even suggested that without saying anything, just confiscate the entire Yuwenshu family and exterminate them!
The reason why the civil and military officials are so messy is naturally because they can't stand the fact that Yuwen Chenglong, a pretty boy, came out of nowhere to steal a high position. But more importantly, these ministers wanted to take this opportunity to give Yang Guang a slap in the face, and wanted to use cruel facts
Tell Yang Guang, although you have become the emperor, we ministers still have the final say in this world!
It just so happened that at this time, Yang Guang's two most trusted confidants who could compete with these people, Zuo Pushe, Yue Guogong Yang Su, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu, were not in the capital!
Therefore, Yang Guang felt that the situation was a bit uncontrollable, so he had to pretend to be angry and yelled "Nonsense!" before waving his sleeves and turning back to the palace!
Just after returning to the palace, Yang Guang had not yet settled down, when Princess Leping entered the palace with murderous intent again!
Angry at the shamelessness of those civil and military ministers, Princess Leping once again made her last request righteously, that all civil and military officials in the dynasty must be killed!
Princess Leping even said that if Yang Guang didn't take action, she would gather her dozens of Jiehua guards and kill him one by one at the minister's house. He would kill him with mountains of bones and rivers of blood!
,Haiqing Heyan!
This time Yang Guangke was frightened!
Yang Guang knew that although his eldest sister looked gentle, elegant, and weak, she was actually strong on the inside!
Once my eldest sister determines something, it is definitely nine cows, well, let alone nine cows, it is one thousand, ten thousand cows, and there is absolutely no way to get it back!
Obviously, today, my eldest sister was definitely really offended by those ministers!
If I can't calm down my eldest sister's anger, there is definitely a 120,000 chance that my eldest sister will mobilize people and go out to kill people as soon as she leaves the palace!
Although half of the Jiehua Guards were sent out by Princess Leping to serve as bodyguards for Yuwen Chenglong's pretty boy, there are currently only fifty Jiehua Guards left in Princess Leping's mansion. However, Yang Guang absolutely believes that those fifty Jiehua Guards
He is absolutely capable of killing any high-ranking official in the capital and making a bloody mess!
This time, blind appeasement has basically no effect. No matter what Yang Guang says, Princess Leping just wants to kill all those treacherous villains!
With no other choice, Yang Guang had no choice but to send his trump card and make a wish to grant titles and titles to that pretty boy named Yuwen Chenglong.
However, Yang Guang still left a way out for himself, which was to wait for Yuwen Chenglong's handsome boy to return in triumph, and no matter what the ministers said, he would definitely reward Yuwen Chenglong's handsome boy for his merits!
In fact, these words are in vain! If someone has made meritorious service, it would be unjustifiable for you as the emperor not to reward him at all!
After saying thousands of good words, Princess Leping’s anger finally subsided!
Even so, Yang Guang was still a little uneasy, fearing that his eldest sister would suddenly become angry again and attack some unlucky minister! With no other choice, Yang Guang had to invite his wife, Queen Xiao, out.
Escort Princess Leping all the way back to her home, and stay with her there twelve hours a day until that pretty boy Yuwen Chenglong returns to Beijing!
I thought this matter would stop here, but I didn't expect that just three days later, the third battle report from Kamajin Pass was delivered to the capital, finally causing a tsunami-like turmoil!
