Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 193 Huo Yi Lost
Yang Yong was imprisoned in the Forbidden Garden of the East Palace, currently under the guard of Crown Prince Yang Zhao, because he suffered a loss once, so the place where Yang Yong was placed under house arrest was strictly guarded, no emperor's edict was allowed, and no one was allowed to enter.

Yang Ming also got the edict prepared by his father from Gao Ye, the boss of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, before he could go to visit Yang Yong.

The edict is a miniature imperial decree. There are not many words written on it, but it has a lot to say.

For example, the strokes of each character above, whether they are upper or lower, left or right, all have their effects.

Yang Guanghui greeted the guards at the East Palace in advance, and some of the characters would have a specific way of writing. If they didn't conform to the original agreement, there was something wrong. It was equivalent to a fake edict, and the guards would not recognize it.

The person in charge of guarding Yang Yong right now is Yang Ming's old acquaintance, Guo Siben, the son of Guo Yan who was in charge of leading the motley army at the outskirts of Renshou Palace back then.

Guo Siben glanced at the edict, and after confirming that it was correct, he led the way and took Yang Ming and Yang Lihua to Yang Yong's detention place.

After seeing Yang Yong, Yang Ming wanted to send Guo Siben away. The latter was not happy at first, but after thinking about it, Yang Ming was His Majesty's own son. The change in Renshou Palace was only eliminated by Yang Ming's proper planning. It was a catastrophe, so he felt at ease with Yang Ming, so he obediently withdrew.

When Yang Yong saw his dearest elder sister, he burst into tears.

This is very different from Yang Ming's previous impression of him. Now Yang Yong looks fragile and helpless.

The meeting between Yang Lihua and Yang Yong was a normal reunion of siblings, but Yang Ming still kept in mind every word they said, in case Yang Lihua really had any hints hidden in it.

Although there is no record in the history books that Yang Lihua will help Yang Yong restore the restoration, Yang Ming still has to be careful.

Two hours later, Yang Lihua went to the residence of the fourth child, Yang Xiu.

Perhaps Yang Xiu knew that her life would not be in danger, so she talked and laughed happily with Yang Lihua, except for complaining about how free she is now, she didn't say anything excessive.

The sun was setting, Yang Lihua had to leave,
As soon as she got out of the Suzaku gate, Yang Lihua said in the carriage:
"Okay, it's time for you to return to your grandfather."

My eldest aunt is not an ordinary person. She is deep in the city, careful and transparent, and sees things sharply, so she naturally knows that Yang Ming's company is to monitor her.

Yang Ming was also refreshed, nodded and said, "The nephew will go back to the palace, and my aunt will go."

In the palace, Yang Guang repeatedly listened to Yang Ming narrate the whole process three times, and after finding no doubts, he nodded:
"In the future, when you go to a banquet, don't drink too much, so as not to make a fool of yourself in front of others."

Nima. Another one who used this matter to preach to himself, Yang Ming said helplessly:

"The boy knows."

After Yang Ming left, Yang Yue flashed out from behind the screen and said:

"There doesn't seem to be anything special about it. Although it seems like it's just a family's short-sighted words, Your Majesty still needs to make plans early."

In fact, after listening to Yang Ming's narration, Yang Guang was very upset.

Because of him, I was jealous, and my heart was sour.

Yang Lihua is very special. She entered the palace at the age of 14 and became the concubine of the old Zhou Dynasty. Later, she successfully became the queen. It can be said that Yang Lihua was the most respected nobleman of their old Yang family back then.

Therefore, most brothers and sisters hope to win the favor of their eldest sister, and Yang Guang is no exception.

Although he has always known that the eldest sister and elder brother Yang Yong have the deepest relationship, but now after hearing Yang Ming's narration, he feels very uncomfortable.

He hoped that his eldest sister would love him more.

"How should I explain to the world?" Yang Guang said lightly.

Yang Yuedao: "It is unfilial to abolish the prince bravely and disobey his parents. Your majesty is enshrining the late emperor's edict to grant him death."

Yang Guang sighed: "Let me think about it again."

Yang Yue nodded and stepped back slowly.

end of august,
Qu Tutong is back,

He didn't see Yang Liang at all, nor did he reach Jinyang, but turned back to Beijing directly in Qingyuan County (Pingyao, Shanxi).

Because he noticed that there was a large army mobilization in the direction of Jinyang, and the vehicles escorting food and grass could not be seen at a glance.

After privately sending people to investigate, Qu Tutong's legs were weak at that time, and the civilians in the states, counties, and counties who were not in the military service stage had already been recruited and returned to the military.

The villages and towns I met on the road were all family members seeing off their husbands and sons.

This is going to be a big deal.

The imperial court did not conscript soldiers in Bingzhou, and the King of Han mobilized the military government on such a large scale, it is very likely that he was going to rebel.

He knew that if he went to Jinyang again right now, it would be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and he would be chopped off the sacrificial flag if he was close to ten.

But at the beginning, he didn't dare to go back, because he was summoning the King of Han to the capital by order, and he couldn't even see the face of the King of Han, so he couldn't explain it when he went back.

So he led the imperial guards to disguise themselves, spread out the news, and returned to Daxing only after confirming that it was correct.

At the same time as he came back, there was also military information sent from Pujin Pass, saying that it was detected that there was an army from Jinyang heading towards Huoyi.

Huoyi is the north gate of Pujin Pass. If Huoyi is lost, Pujin Pass will be finished.

And Pujin Pass is one of the most important gates to the east of Guanzhong. If it is lost, the army of Bingzhou can enter Guanzhong smoothly.

Yang Guang summoned all his ministers temporarily to discuss the matter of defense urgently.

He Ruobi frowned and said: "One piece of paper, two pieces of paper, the guest can make a child the emperor. This nursery rhyme has already shown the King of Han's intention of rebellion. Your Majesty should immediately arrange counter-rebellion matters."

This nursery rhyme was brought back by Qu Tutong, and now it is quite popular in Bingzhou area. In this nursery rhyme, the problem lies in the four words "kequanxiaoer".

Yang Liang, King of the Han Dynasty, was nicknamed Yiqian, but he had a baby name called Ake, which just corresponded to the four characters for guest.

And Yang Liang's forgiveness is a homophony of "quantity", and he is the youngest son in the family, so the measure of children refers to Yang Liang.

Nursery rhymes are used to confuse the common people, and all the princes in the court know very well that this is Yang Liang deliberately spreading among the people to create momentum for himself.

Yang Guang kept silent, listening to the discussions among the ministers.

He is the last one to make up his mind, so he won't speak until the conclusion is reached.

As for the military newspapers, one after another, they were sent directly to the Daxing Hall. Almost every half an hour, military reports were delivered.

Now no one doubts that Yang Liang is really rebellious.

Because just now there was a military report saying that Huoyi, the gate of Pujinguan, had been lost, and the court was in an uproar instantly.

Huoyi, which belongs to Jinzhou, is the area around Linfen in Shanxi Province, and now Huoyi will be lost if he doesn't defend it. Needless to say, there is something wrong with the governor of Jinzhou.

As soon as Huoyi is lost, Hedong County is next, and to the west of Hedong County is Pujin Pass.

So many people are staring at the change of expression on Yang Ming's face. He is the King of Hedong, and his palace is still in Hedong County.

Yang Ming was anxious, that's for sure, although after Yang Jian passed away, he immediately told Li Jing to send more garrisons at Hedong and Pujin Pass.

However, according to historical records, Yang Liang rebelled and led a total of 30 troops, [-] of whom were targeting Pujin Pass alone.

Even if Li Jing was aware of the military situation in advance, the temporary recruitment would only be about 2 people.

The current court is like a blind man feeling an elephant for the movement of Yang Liang's army. They don't even know who is the commander of the rebel army approaching Hedong.

Yang Liang, the general manager of Bingzhou, is different from Qin Wangjun's Bingzhou director back then, and the difference is huge.

At that time, Qin Wangjun was the governor of the military forces of 24 states, while Han Wangliang was the governor of the military affairs of the 52 states.

That is to say, the old land of the Northern Qi Dynasty, most of Shandong, Hebei, and Shanxi, and a small part of Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu are all under Yang Liang's jurisdiction.

And the soldiers of Bingzhou have always been strong, so it can be seen that this battle is not easy to fight.

The meeting lasted from noon to night, during which military information was still being sent in.

Yang Ming knew that everyone didn't need to go back tonight, just go back to the yamen and wait for the news.

The situation is unclear, and it is impossible to use troops, but today Yang Guang has issued an edict to conscript most of the military palaces in the Guanzhong area, and must gather [-] troops within five days.

As for Daxing City, the nearly 10 troops stationed will not leave the capital casually, so half of the [-] people have to be temporarily recruited from various places.

Fortunately, the Sui Dynasty was a government military system, and men would serve in the military every year, and their combat effectiveness was still acceptable.

Right Lingjun Mansion, General Room,
Yang Ming discussed the situation with Pei Ju who came here.

"Your Highness doesn't have any family members in Hedong?" Pei Ju asked with concern.

In his opinion, Hedong County must be lost, because Huoyi is lost, and the city defense of Hedong County has always been poor, and it will be easily breached.

Yang Ming shook his head and said, "There are no family members, but there are slaves and maidservants who were gifted by the second sage back then, and some parts."

At first, Yang Ming planned to send all the property of Hedong County back to Daxing, but after thinking about it, it might be more appropriate to keep it for Li Jing to recruit soldiers.

And he also greeted Fang Xuanling, as long as Li Jing used the money, just open the treasury.

Pei Ju nodded, and said: "In my opinion, troubles have already occurred in Hebei and Shandong. The King of Han's rebellion will inevitably use Hebei and Shandong as the rear to supply the front line. Therefore, Hedong will become the decisive victory in the future. field."

His hometown is also in Hedong, so it is impossible for Pei Ju not to be in a hurry.

Who knows what Yang Liang will do, what if they pick up their ancestral graves?
Yang Ming nodded and said: "Since it's a rebellion, it should be a direct attack on the capital, and the river east is the barrier to the east, so there is no room for loss."

Pei Ju nodded.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, neither of them feel sleepy, just chatting like this, waiting for the next day to continue to enter the court and discuss this matter.

At the meeting on the second day, the military report from Hedong County was handed over. Li Jing, the governor of the county, temporarily recruited the military mansion and civilian husbands, together with the trilogy of the Hedong Prince's Mansion, to deploy the defense of Hedong County, while Pujin Pass was directly stationed. Wan elite.

Everyone knows that Hedong County can be lost, but Pujin Pass must not be lost. The fortifications of these two places are also very different.

Pujin Pass is easy to guard, but Hedong County is not easy to guard.

It stands to reason that a county magistrate is not qualified to transfer troops, but Li Jing has always had Yang Ming's order to transfer troops.

So at the beginning, everyone was very confused, but it wasn't until Yang Ming explained that everyone was relieved.

There are soldiers to defend Hedong, which is also the most comforting good news in the past two days.

Yang Guang looked at his son curiously, and asked, "How can you give the order to transfer troops at will?"

Yang Ming replied: "Hedong is the fiefdom of my minister. As a barrier for the capital, my minister dare not slack off for a day. He often tells Li Jing to practice frequently in case of emergencies. The order to transfer troops this time is only a temporary one." Who would have thought that such a move would lead to a rebellion against the King of Han? It can be seen that God’s will is clear, and the father is indeed a wise king who inherits the emperor’s fate.”

As long as Pujin Pass can be guarded for a longer period of time, Guanzhong can make timely deployments, so even though Li Jing only released 1 people at Pujin Pass, the importance and strategic importance are huge.

Yang Guang praised and said: "My son is diligent in affairs, so I have this foreseeable action. I am very relieved."

　Farewell, Azeroth, farewell, warriors, may the wind guide your direction.
