Emperor Sui Yang

"In April next year, do you think Jiangnan will be pacified?" Yang Guang said with a smile in the study of Liangyi Palace.

He likes to come to this place the most. He used to read and deal with government affairs, but now he writes, chats and plays with women.

Yes, Yang Guang likes to play with women in the study the most. Writing with ink on the pink back may be very exciting for him.

Yu Shiji smiled and said: "It may be difficult in April, but it will definitely be possible in June."

It is now the 11th year of Daye. At the end of November, Yang Guang has been in power for 11 years. In these 11 years, he has done things that other emperors could not do in 30 years.

"King Qi is in Jiangdu, has he done nothing?" Yang Guang frowned and said, "I also plan to visit Jiangdu in June next year."

He completely took over Jiangdu. He had been the general manager of Yangzhou for 11 years in Jiangdu. He succeeded to the throne for 11 years and stayed in Jiangdu for another four years. Anyway, Yang Guang had no feelings for the capital and no sense of belonging.

Pei Yun nodded and said: "King Qi stayed in Luoyang for nearly a month. He said that the prince did not allocate food to him. He went to Jiangdu and said that Wei Xuan was too timid to fight. Anyway, there has been no fight so far."

Cai Wang Yang Zhiji said: "Some people always have difficulties with themselves. Wherever they go, there are difficulties, but they can't solve the difficulties and can only complain."

Yang Xuangan said coldly: "When the King of Qi was in Luoyang, he did not forget to file a memorial against Yang Xunzong, saying that Xuanzang underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, losing his main force. What was the result? All the generals on the front line agreed that it was Xuanzong who fought against Changlu for the The decisive battle opens up the opportunity.”

"There is no need to say this," Yu Zhongwen said: "I have read all the military intelligence reports from the Ministry of War. The battle of Xuanzang attracted Gao Shida's main force to leave Xindu and provided the prince with an opportunity for a decisive battle. There is no doubt about this. , not to mention I heard that Xuan Zong was also seriously injured."

"It's not a serious injury, he almost died," Yang Yue gestured with his hands: "With such a long scar, if he wasn't wearing refined armor, he would be dead."

"Xuanzong is still capable, I know this," Yang Guang walked slowly and said with his hands behind his back: "I allowed King Qi to open Hanjiacang, but he went to Luoyang and couldn't open it. Tell me why?"

Pei Ju, Su Wei, and Yang Yue exchanged glances subconsciously.

Su Wei took the lead and said: "Hanjia Cang is too important and they dare not open it at will."

"You should avoid the important and take the easy," Yang Guang said calmly.

Su Wei twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Zhao Guogong, Chen Guogong and others don't want King Qi to go south and interfere with the prince's deployment, so they are stalling."

"What do you mean, they think King Qi should not go to Jiangdu?" Yang Guang asked.

Pei Ju replied instead: "Yuwenshu didn't fight for it in Luoyang, which shows that he doesn't agree with King Qi's strategy. He is now Sikong, and he opened Hanjiacang according to His Majesty's order, but Yuwenshu didn't insist on it. It can be seen that, He went south to King Qi, and his attitude was negative."

"All of you are looking down on my son," Yang Guang narrowed his eyes and sat down.

The ministers were stunned and quickly stood up to plead guilty.

Yang Guang sneered and said: "Yang Jin was born in Jiangdu and grew up in Jiangdu. He is familiar with Jiangnan. He grew up beside me. He has been immersed in the art of military use. He should have only a superficial understanding. I know you are all trying to please the prince. But don’t forget, King Qi is also my biological son.”

"I will never forget," Yu Shiji said: "The Ministry of War should immediately issue a document to reprimand Luoyang and urge it to transfer grain to Jiangdu as soon as possible."

"That's right," Yang Guang said solemnly.

In his opinion, the contribution of the third child cannot be greater. There are already many princes in the center of the court and important local positions. If Yang Ming uses the expedition to cultivate power in Hebei, Luoyang, and Jiangdu, then how can he, the emperor, Isn't there a danger of being ignored?

Yang Guang is not stupid either. He will not allow his son to be better than himself. The third child does not have this consciousness. He wins too easily and his prestige comes quickly and quickly, which makes Yang Guang feel in danger.

"Pass the message that the prince will not go to Jiangdu. He will go to Luoyang to rest and let Lai take care of his son." Yang Guang said.

At this moment, everyone understood that the emperor was suspicious of the prince.

Then you can't persuade, because the more you persuade, the more suspicious the emperor will be.

Yang Yue was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, the guardian is from Jiangdu. It is most appropriate for him to pacify Jiangnan."

Pei Yun smiled and said, "That's not what your Majesty meant."

"Huh?" Yang Yue was stunned.

Pei Yun said: "The king of Qi is still in charge, with Yuwen Shu and Lai Hu'er as his deputy. The Luoyang garrison under the prince's command will follow Lai Hu'er to Jiangdu."

Yang Yue lowered his eyes and thought, with these two people, the south will be settled soon. This is to praise the King of Qi.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted," Yang Yue said.

Pei Ju also said: "In this way, your Majesty will definitely be able to visit Jiangdu three times in June."

Yang Guang said with a smile: "The prince has worked so hard, so he should take a good rest. After all, he is the prince and cannot tire him. The King of Qi is the elder brother, so let him, the elder brother, share the prince's worries and relieve the labor."

"Best greetings, Your Majesty!" Yang Zhi said with a half-hearted smile.After everyone left Liangyi Hall, Yang Zhiji and Yang Yue walked side by side and whispered:

"Do you think Yuwen Shu and Lai Hu'er can understand it after receiving the decree?"

Yang Yue smiled and said: "They are much smarter than you, King Cai. Naturally, we can see the problem at a glance."

"You're laughing at me," Yang Zhiji pointed at Yang Yue and laughed.

Yang Yue said with a smile: "I don't mean to be contemptuous at all. The two of them have been walking up, and King Cai is walking down. They are smarter than you, but they don't have your level. They can't understand the words "retreat bravely from the rapids". through."

Yang Zhiji frowned and said: "I also believe that they can understand it, but I'm afraid that they can't understand it. Can you try to remind me?"

"No," Yang Yue said with a smile, "This depends on personal consciousness and choice. Whether they will choose to help King Qi to pacify Jiangnan, or choose to side with the Crown Prince, they have to make their own decision. I don't dare to do this. Talk too much."

"Don't pretend to be like me. Is there anything you dare not do?" Yang Zhiji said slyly: "I know how bold you are."

Yang Yue stroked his beard and smiled: "As I get older, I am becoming more and more timid."

"Are you going to the East Palace?" Yang Zhiji changed the subject.

Yang Yue nodded: "The Crown Princess has summoned you."

"Go on, go on, let's report," Yang Zhiji cupped his hands and left.

In Guanghua Hall, Yang Yinjiang frowned. After asking her uncle to sit down, she frowned and said, "This is not a good sign."

Yang Yue took a sip of tea and nodded: "But it's normal. The prince's achievements are too great, so he will be jealous. This is the most troublesome when he goes out to lead troops. If the battle goes too smoothly, some people will be jealous of you. If the battle doesn't go well, some people will try to dismantle you." Your station, in short, is in a dilemma."

"So what my uncle means is that it would be best for my husband to go to Luoyang for a rest and observe the situation in Jiangnan?" Yang Yinjiang asked.

Yang Yue nodded: "On the surface, Yu Wenshu and Lai Hu'er will go to Jiangdu, and Luoyang will also mobilize troops. The situation in Jiangnan seems to be very clear, but in fact it is not. The variables here are very big. This is a A big game of chess.”

"How?" Yang Yinjiang asked anxiously.

Yang Yue explained: "Lai Hu'er was in Zhuojun this time and presided over the final decisive battle with the Turks. He took half of the credit. This was given to him by the prince on his own initiative. He owed the prince a favor. Now the prince is going to Luoyang to take charge. What does it mean to supervise the battle in Jiangnan, so under what circumstances can the prince leave Luoyang and go directly to Jiangdu?"

"I understand, but Lai Huer shouldn't lose on purpose, right?" Yang Yinjiang said: "He cherishes his reputation very much."

Yang Yue smiled and said: "This is how life is, you will always encounter one problem after another, and then solve it time and time again. I also think that Lai Huer does not want to lose, but he will not choose to offend the prince. Our prince's Lai Huer is very clear about the method, and he knows that if he offends once, there will be no second chance, so he will think of a solution."

"What about Yuwenshu?" Yang Yinjiang frowned and said, "With your majesty's arrangement, Jiangnan is in a sure win situation. Even if he comes to protect the children and is perfunctory, Yuwenshu won't do it, right?"

"Yuwenshu doesn't want to be perfunctory? He has no excuse," Yang Yue said: "The one he wants to curry favor with most now is the prince. The prince has also been very smart in recent years and has maintained a subtle relationship with Yuwenshu. In fact, Jiangnan The situation is clear at a glance, it depends on Yuwen Shu and Lai Huer, which one will choose between fame and fortune."

Yang Yinjiang sighed: "The queen seems to be deliberately alienating me. It seems that they have become wary of the East Palace."

"On the surface, it seems that no one will speak ill of the prince now," Yang Yue said in a deep voice:

"But what's going on behind the scenes, we don't know. We thought that Yang Jian would be knocked down and never get up again, but it backfired."

What he regretted most was that he originally tipped off Jieli and expected Jieli to kill Yang Guang, but in the end he thought too highly of the Turks.

There are no rangers patrolling around the camp. You have 10 people, but you can let Yang Guang run away. If you say you are a waste, they are looking down on you.

In fact, Jie Li had a chance at that time, but Yang Guang's life should not have been cut off. Yang Jian came out and rescued his father. This was the moment when Yang Yue was self-defeating. Yang Guang did not kill him, but instead held Yang Jian in his arms. Yang Yue was already regretting it.

Yang Yue had a murderous intention towards Yang Guang for a long time, not only because of Yang Ming, but also because of his brother Yang Su.

When Yang Guang seized the throne, their brothers contributed the most, but as a result, Yang Guang was looking forward to Yang Su's death.

"The Queen is alienated from you, but you cannot alienate the Queen," Yang Yue explained: "The Queen does not have a palace. You should take more of His Highness's children to greet the Queen on weekdays, so as to test the attitude of Yong'an Palace."

Yang Yinjiang nodded: "Ying Hui will go there every day."

"Don't worry about him, Ying Hui is different from others," Yang Yue said anxiously:

"Others are going too, every day. Behind Queen Xiao is the Xiao family. The Xiao family plays a key role in suppressing the rebellion in the south. I will go back to see Xiao Yu tonight to explore the situation. The Queen's side, You have to maintain it.”

Yang Yinjiang nodded quickly: "Uncle, don't worry, I understand." (End of Chapter)
