Emperor Sui Yang

Xuanzang was sent back to Qinghe County. He was wounded by a knife, not an arrow.

Arrow wounds are difficult to treat, but knife wounds are better. After all, he was wearing refined armor at the time. After the armor was broken, he injured his back, with a scar from shoulder to waist.

The doctors who accompanied the army had already stitched him up, wrapped him tightly to prevent the wound from being exposed to wind, and sent him back to Qinghe County.

There was an anesthetic in Sui Dynasty, which had a certain auxiliary effect in the treatment of trauma, but the side effects were not small. Because it was taken internally, it often caused serious harm to people.

Therefore, anesthesia is often not used, especially for high-level generals. Any injury must be treated raw. Fortunately, Xuan Zong was hit by a refined knife. If it were an ordinary knife, just a piece of rust would be difficult to treat.

When Xuanting was getting stitches, he was talking and laughing like a normal person. He didn't take the pain seriously at all.

Today in Yang Ming's bedroom, a group of people were discussing matters, and Xuan Zong was removing the stitches here.

Lie down on a simple wooden bed and let the doctor draw the thread from the flesh of your back. This is not very painful and can be tolerated by normal people.

Yang Ming looked at the scar on his back that looked like a giant centipede and said with a smile:
"This time you are also lucky. No matter how deep you are, the gods will not be able to save you."

Xuan Zong lay on his back and laughed and said: "I was careless. I forgot that the enemy had refined weapons and didn't pay attention to the enemy behind me. By the way, Your Highness, have you captured Changlu?"

Yang Ming nodded, returned to his seat, and said:
"Cui Shishu left 1 people in Jingcheng and surrounded them without fighting. He took the remaining army to Changlu. After joining forces with Zhang Xutuo, they captured Changlu County. Xie Leng was beheaded. .”

Fang Xuanling added; "Now that they have returned to Shi Jingcheng, Liu Heitai will be destroyed in a day or two."

"Where is Yuan Qing?" Yang Xuanzang asked.

Fang Xuanling said: "He has been chasing Gao Shida for a long time, but there is no news yet."

Next, Fang Xuanling told the other party about Yang Jian again.

"What are my brother and uncle doing? Why don't they stop me?" Xuan Zong said angrily.

Xue Ting smiled and said: "There is news from the capital that Duke Yang even supports King Qi's march south to Jiangdu."

"Ah?" Xuan Zong was dumbfounded.

Yang Ming explained with a smile: "Yang Yue always likes to stir things up. He wants Yang Jian to go out and cause wrath and anger, and then I will go over and finish it off. But he doesn't want to think about it. Yang Jian is His Majesty's son, and he wants to make the world angry and resentful." It will involve His Majesty and me."

Yang Guang, Yang Jian and Yang Ming, this is a family. What conflicts exist between the three of them, the common people don't know. Yang Jian has harmed Jiangnan, and the resentment of the people will also fall on the emperor and the prince.

Yang Xuanzang sighed: "Uncle does have good intentions, but it's just superfluous."

"It's okay. Luoyang is waiting for my reply, but I just won't reply," Yang Ming said with a smile: "This can delay Yang Jian's journey south and buy time for Hebei."

The attitude of Dugu Zuan, Dou Kang, and Yang Yichen is very obvious. Without the consent of the prince, the three of them dare not nod to let you take the food. Don't look at Yu Wenshu who temporarily takes charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and can mobilize the national treasury. However, during the war, the military commander is maximum.

When Yang Ming left Luoyang, all important matters were entrusted to these three people. With the level of these three people, Yang Jian did not dare to mess around, not to mention Yu Wenshu himself wanted to delay.

Yuwenshu has had enough in this life. With his current achievements, he is already at the level where he will be able to enter the martial arts temple in future generations. Among the four famous generals of the Sui Dynasty, Yuwenshu will now be added to his list.

He didn't want to lose his security in his later years. He and Wei Xuan were old partners, and he knew that Wei Xuan didn't dare to act rashly, so it would be the same if he went there.

Yang Ming's move is very simple and the most effective. I am the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. If you dare to mess with Hanjia Cang without my order, I can handle it with military law.

Yes, if the emperor asks you to move, I will also let you move, but you can only move under my arrangement.

Disobeying the arrangements means disobeying the general's orders.

"How is Li Jing?" Xuan Zong asked.

Li Jiancheng replied: "He went north to intercept Geqian. He only brought 6000 men with him. Zhang Dinghe was defeated by Dou Jiande. Fortunately, Pei Xingyan came out in time and had already defeated the opponent. Their journey was as early as five days. Within, you can reach Changle County.”

Xuan Zong frowned and said, "Shi Huaiyi and Song Laosheng should also go north."

These two people and Shi Wanbao were sent to Shandong by Yang Ming. The three of them had a total of [-] troops and had already taken back Dongping County, Jibei County and Qi County.

These three counties bordered Hebei, so there was no need to worry about being attacked from both sides. During this period, Shi Huaiyi defeated the two rebels of Han Jinluo and Zhen Baoche, and conquered Zuo Xiaoyou of Qi County.

In fact, Zuo Xiaoyou surrendered. He was scared when he heard that Shi Wansui's son was coming.

You can't imagine how much benefit having an awesome dad will bring to you.

Shi Huaiyi, like his father, had a green forest aura about him, which was to put it bluntly, a gangster spirit. After meeting Zuo Xiaoyou, they had the same idea and directly appointed a general and entrusted him with important tasks.

Under his command, by collecting prisoners and incorporating them into the surrendered army, the number has been expanded to 5000.

In order to suppress the rebellion in Shandong, Yang Ming has given full power to Shi Huaiyi, who is purely one of his own.

But Xuan Zong didn't know yet. He thought Shi Huaiyi was stationed in Liyangcang and Shi Wanbao was still in Fan County.

After Xuan Zong learned about it, he was in a good mood and said with a smile: "There has always been chaos in Hebei, and there will be chaos in Shandong. If there is chaos in Hebei, then Shandong will be useless. Huaiyi will pacify Shandong, which is enough." This is a fact, so let's take it. Regarding the several major chaos since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, although Shandong started the trouble early, it was quite big, but it was actually very easy to suppress the rebellion, but Hebei was not.

If Hebei is taken, Shandong will be in trouble. After all, there is no danger to defend. A main force can penetrate the entire Shandong. The only places there with some defensive attributes are Mount Tai and Changbai Mountain.

So Du Fuwei was very smart and planned to go to Jianghuai from the beginning.

Yang Jian, who was in Luoyang, was naturally impatient to wait. Why should I go to Jiangdu to suppress the rebellion, but stayed in Luoyang for 23 days?

Dugu Zuan's taxes were all collected, and he didn't even leave.

"Open a position, open a position for me immediately," Yang Jian couldn't wait any longer, so he summoned everyone and gave the order.

Dou Kang curled his lips: "You are the general manager of Jiangnan Road's march. This is the Eastern Capital. You can't control us."

"I am still the King of Qi, and I am your majesty's own son. I can always control you, right?" Yang Jian said angrily: "I finally understand. You are just a bunch of flattering villains. The prince's farts are all good to you." .”

Dou Kang chuckled and said, "Don't embarrass me, an old man. The prince is the Shangshu of Shaanxi Province. We are ordered to guard the eastern capital. If we cannot open a position, we have to wait for the prince's order. If there is no order, I will open it for you. In the end If the prince pursues the case, whose fault will it be?"

"It's mine, just open a position," Yang Jian said.

Yang Yichen said: "It's empty words. Let the King of Qi establish a written evidence."

Yu Wenshu's mouth twitched.

During this period, Yang Xian had urged them countless times. He also knew that Yang Ming was delaying on purpose. He might not be able to wait for Yang Ming's reply, so he kept exerting pressure. Dou Kang and the others were almost unable to bear it. .

After all, it is the emperor's will. The prince can delay it, but they dare not delay it for too long.

But asking Yang Jian to establish written evidence was simply insulting. Yang Jian poured a cup of hot tea directly on Yang Yichen's face.
"Old man, I remember your words, and I will settle this account with you."

Yang Yichen wiped his face, expressionless.

Yu Wenshu smoothed things over and said, "Okay everyone, the war is fierce in the north, and the prince has no time to care about these things. Let's open a position. Let's go to Jiangdu first."

After the three of them looked at each other and exchanged attitudes, Dugu Zuan nodded and said, "Okay, 50 stones, we'll be ready in three days."

"Dugu Zuan!" Yang Jian stood up and cursed: "The granary is in the imperial city, and Luoshui is next to it. It takes three days to prepare? You think I'm a fool, don't you?"

"The boats have to be allocated, right?" Dugu compiled.

Yang Jian suddenly went crazy and said: "I have been in Luoyang for almost a month, why the hell didn't you even prepare a boat? Dugu Zhuan, you are resisting the decree, I will report it to His Majesty."

Dugu Zuan quickly winked at Yuwenshu.

Yu Wenshu comforted Yang Jian and said, "Okay, okay, just three days, as long as you can walk. King Qi, please calm down. Everyone has their own difficulties, and Duke Zhao is not easy either."

Yang Jing gasped, stared at the bosses below, gritted his teeth and said:

"I know what your intentions are. It's just following the trend. Five years ago, how dare you talk to me like this? But don't be complacent. Let's wait and see."

Dugu Zuan and others had expressionless faces, looking at their noses and hearts. As for Wu Hua, he never dared to say anything. He couldn't afford to offend Yang Jian.

And now Yang Xian has murderous intentions towards Yang Ming. He knows that everyone's change in attitude towards him is because Yang Ming has great power.

And he was the only one who could pose a threat to Yang Ming, so he was treated with hostility in order to please Yang Ming.

I am the second child, and I am being shitted on by the third child.

In ancient times, the eldest son was the most noble, but the second son had the same rank as other sons.

If Yang Zhao had not died, it can be said that Yang Ming would have had no chance at all. The eldest son is the eldest son, and the eldest son is the eldest son. Even if the eldest son dies, the second son will not be the eldest son.

Yang Xuangan's family is the best example. Except for Xuangan who is the dominant one, all the other brothers are the same, that is, if they call you brother, if you dare to mess with me, I will still fight with you, such as Xuan Zong and Xuanting.

But the two of them would never dare to act recklessly with Xuangan. If Xuangan died, the inheritance of the family would also belong to Yuan Qing, and they would still lose nothing.

This is different from the royal family. If the prince dies but the two princes are still alive, you can't choose the heir from the prince's son. Firstly, he is underage. Furthermore, the two princes are too powerful. They are not as powerful as the second son of a wealthy family. Zi is different, he has real power.

Xuanzang and other brothers basically didn't inherit anything from Yang Su. Xuanting was a bit better and could inherit Yang Yue.

But Yang Jian and Yang Ming, because their biological father was the emperor, received power, money and influence that the second and third sons in the family could not compare with.

Because of this, the young eldest son and grandson of a large family can inherit the right of inheritance, but the royal family cannot.

The temptation is too great, but the prince himself is strong enough. If you dare to establish a grandson, I will kill you.
