Emperor Sui Yang

From crossing the river to Gao Yuan's surrender, everything Li Jing knew about the whole process was reported to Yang Ming in detail.

After listening to it, everyone would suspect that there was something wrong with Yu Wenshu.

Wei Xuan desperately led his troops to capture the dam at the fastest speed, in order to provide the main force of Yu Wenshu and Yu Zhongwen with a chance to cross the river, but he went to the dam in a pretense of saving Wei Xuan. What did Xue Shixiong force him to do.

Is this pot going to be put on Xue Shixiong's head?
After meeting Gao Dayang, it was obvious that because of the strength of the Sui army's armor and arms, Li Jing broke the Sashui camp and burned half of Gao Dayang's luggage, occupying an absolute advantage, but Yu Wenshu dared not fight for a long time.

Is he the kind of person who dare not fight?Obviously not.

But if you say that he intentionally delayed the military plane, the possibility is not very high. After all, Yu Wenshu is the general manager of the army, and if something goes wrong, he is the first to take the blame.

"Talking and chatting, it will be dawn. After the pharmacist has breakfast with me, let's go to the court meeting," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Li Jing frowned and said: "On the way back, I heard from Lord Xiuwu that Your Majesty intends to allow you to cultivate for a period of time?"

Today was the second day of March, and Yang Ming happened to be unable to attend the court meeting. Yang Guang originally ordered that the court be suspended for three days, but he withdrew it at noon on the first day of the new year.

"Yang Yue only told you this and nothing else?" Yang Ming said.

Li Jing shook his head.

Yang Ming pointed at Pei Shuang and signaled him to bring Chen Junbin's secret letter and give it to Li Jing to have a look.

When Li Jing saw half of it, he had already understood:
"Your Majesty ordered Huaji to suppress the rebellion in Hebei, just to confer a title on him. Because everyone opposed the matter in Liaodong, His Majesty temporarily put it aside. Yu Wenshu has accomplished the feat of destroying the country this time, and Huaji's knighthood is already guaranteed. , the indiscriminate killing of civilians in Hebei, I'm afraid it will be nothing."

Yang Ming nodded: "If Your Majesty insists on ennobling me, then words like indiscriminate killing will not appear, but the meritorious service of exterminating the rebels. It is not clear whether His Majesty dismissed me, and he is also worried that I will make things difficult."

"Then what does Your Highness mean?" Li Jing asked.

Yang Ming smiled and said: "You know what I can't stand the most is the indiscriminate killing of civilians, let alone Yu Wenhuaji, even his father, I will not let him go."

Li Jing frowned and said: "Hua Ji indiscriminately killed civilians in order to pretend to be meritorious. In fact, he was aiming at the title of knighthood. Now that Yu Wenshu's prestige is in full swing, it's better for His Highness not to act rashly. His Majesty's meaning is already obvious."

Yang Ming smiled: "It's okay, I have my own way."

After Li Jing had breakfast with Yang Ming in the East Palace, he hurried to the Daxing Hall to attend the court meeting. He had already been conferred a title and was a meritorious official, so he had a place for him.

After all, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, the number of people attending the court meeting was very large, and the Daxing Hall was full, unlike Yang Jian's period, when there were only ten or twenty big bosses.

After the court meeting, Shi Xiang and Qu Tutong, who had not seen the prince, rushed to the East Palace to ask for an audience.

"The prince has a lot to do and has lost weight." Qu Tutong watched Yang Ming grow up since he was a child. Compared with before he left Beijing, Yang Ming did lose some weight, but he didn't lose much weight. Qu Tutong was just a flattery .

Yang Ming said indifferently: "The affairs of Hebei depend on the two of you. After you leave, will Yu Juluo be in charge of the funeral?"

Shi Xiang, who was sitting in his seat, nodded and smiled: "We are not very familiar with Hebei. Now that the troubles are gone, we still need Mr. Gao Tang to finish it."

"It's the end of it, is it okay?" Yang Ming lowered his head and played with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and said calmly.

Shi Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Qu Tutong, you are familiar with the prince, so tell me.

Qu Tu channel: "I don't know how much your Highness knows about Hebei?"

Yang Ming raised his head, raised his eyebrows and said, "What? If I don't know, you don't plan to tell?"

"No, no, I don't have that intention, and I dare not hide it from anyone, Your Majesty and you," Qu Tutong said with a smile.

The corner of Yang Ming's mouth twitched: "You should keep it from me, otherwise if I know everything, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave my Cheng'en Palace standing up."

Qu Tutong was taken aback for a moment, feeling the hairs all over his body stand up instantly,

He knew Yang Ming very well. He was a ruthless person when he was a child, and he was brought up by the second sage, with a tough wrist and a domineering personality.

With this sentence, it is obvious that he knows everything.

"I'm guilty," Qu Tutong said hastily.

Yang Ming put down the string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and sighed:
"In my place, I have never regarded you as an outsider. You are a member of the Holy Queen. I have been raised by the Holy Queen since I was a child. I have always been very close to you. What kind of temperament am I? You know, the Holy Queen She is merciful, and you know that if the Holy Empress is here, how do you think she will deal with you?"

The corner of Qu Tutong's mouth twitched: "The minister is guilty, please forgive me the crime."

"Then tell me, how should I bestow punishment?" Yang Ming's words were addressed to Qu Tutong, but they were also addressed to Shi Xiang, who was also on pins and needles and dared not say anything.

Qu Tutong knew that today's trip to the East Palace would not be easy, so he pushed all the crimes on Yu Wenhuaji:
"The minister and the other two don't want to do this either, but Yu Wenhuaji is the commander of the army, and we are the deputy. We should obey the general's orders in the army, and the two of us have no choice but to do so."

Shi Xiang hurriedly echoed: "Moreover, the two of us and Yu Juluo jointly made a memorial to this matter. It is clearly stated in the memorial. I wonder if Your Highness has read it?"

"It's the same whether you've seen it or not," Yang Ming said in a deep voice, "Yu Wenhua and you killed indiscriminately, and the two of you also killed indiscriminately. A memorial to blame is not a gold medal for avoiding death, but you two also Don't worry, I won't ask about your crimes, it's just punishment at most."

After finishing speaking, Yang Ming looked at Qu Tutong: "I have been in the army for a long time, and I am also a man of steel and iron. Twenty whips, can I bear it?"

Qu Tutong was taken aback, and quickly got up and knelt on the ground: "I can bear it, please punish the prince."

They were serving Yang Jian and his wife earlier, so they naturally understood a truth. It is for your own good to beat you and scold you. It means that they still take you seriously and ignore you, which is the most terrible thing.

Yang Ming said again: "The Duke of Yangcheng is getting old, so I won't punish him, Pei Shuang, give the Duke of Yichuan a punishment."

Shi Xiang lowered his head, not daring to make a sound. He is older, but he is only six or seven years older than Qu Tutong. The prince clearly disowns him. You are not mine, so I will not punish you.

Pei Shuang came over with a whip in his hand, and whipped Qu Tutong dryly, his skin was bruised.

Yang Ming got up and came to Qu Tutong, and hung the string of Buddhist beads around his neck:

"God has the virtue of being good at life, and Lord Yichuan needs to do it well in the future."

"Chen Chen must correct his mistakes," Qu Tutong gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, with a painful expression on his face.

Yang Ming said to Pei Shuang: "Find an imperial doctor and ask Yang Xuanting to send Duke Yichuan out of the palace, then go to the gate of Yuwenshu and treat him on the spot. I will punish those who should not be punished, and those who should be punished want to escape, haha"

Just like that, Qu Tutong was carried away, leaving Shi Xiang restless.

"Hebei killed 7 people, how many should not be killed?" Yang Ming sat down again and said calmly.

Shi Xiang swallowed subconsciously, and said: "I didn't make a careful calculation, uh, maybe [-]%, it shouldn't be a capital crime, after all, it's a rebellion, and it's a bit harsher."

Yang Ming said, "Did you kill like this in Goguryeo?"

Shi Xiang said with a bitter face: "The duty of the minister is to protect His Majesty, and there is no war."

"Oh, is this just Wo Li Heng?" Yang Ming asked.

Shi Xiang couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly got up and said: "I am really helpless, it is Yu Wenhuaji's order, I must not ignore it, right? Prince Mingjian, Qu Tutong and I have stopped in the second half of the journey." , we also know that this time the crime is not small."

Yang Ming nodded: "The two of you are at best accomplices, accomplices, it's not a big crime, not to mention that Yu Wenhuaji may not be questioned this time, but you remember, if His Majesty asks about it in the future, you Just say you were forced."

Shi Xiang immediately understood: "The minister was forced, and Yu Juluo can prove it."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, at today's court meeting, who is against Yu Wenhua and the title?" Yang Ming asked.

Shi Xiang heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that this hurdle has been passed:
"In Liaodong, most people were against it. After all, Huaji's defense on the northern line of Liaodong City was not good enough, so that Tu Wanxu's attack on the city was not smooth. This is at fault. Not good, so in Liaodong, everyone opposed it, but at the court meeting today, only Yang Gong and his uncles and nephews were very opposed, the others, maybe they saw His Majesty's intentions, so they didn't say anything more."

Yang Ming nodded: "Is it sealed?"

"No, Duke Yang is very opposed to it, so His Majesty has not sealed it right now, but His Majesty is very upset because someone reported on Xuangan and annexed land in Shandong," Shi Xiang said.

Good guy, is this a fight?

Dad saw that Yang Yue and his family were unhappy, Yang Ming knew it, but he was unhappy, it could only be unhappy, now that Yang Guang wants to move Yang Yue, there is no possibility of carrying it out

Yang Ming has five sons in total, and three of them are the grandsons of Yang Xuangan. If you touch people, you just have trouble with your own grandson. Yang Guang would not do such a thing.

Moving Yang Yue has already implicated Dong Guoben, how can this move?I can't move.

It is impossible to expect an annexed land to overthrow the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the boss of Silitai, and it is impossible to be convicted. The most is a few reprimands.

Yang Ming was quite relieved. Yang Yue was always on the same side as himself. With the other party's treacherous and cunning temperament, he knew that he would offend the emperor, but he wanted to be tough with Yu Wen. It was quite interesting.

"Okay, you can go back. If His Majesty asks you what you said when you came here, reply truthfully," Yang Ming said.

Shi Xiang nodded: "I understand."

Sure enough, as soon as Shi Xiang stepped out of the East Palace, he was taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Today is really bad luck. After passing one level, there is still another level. Shi Xiang sighed in his heart, I am innocent. It was His Majesty who asked me to follow Yu Wenhua and counter-insurgency. , was involved in a storm.

Who am I provoking? (end of this chapter)
