Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 367 We are the ancestors

"Yu Wenhuaji sent troops northward from Dongjun, just passed Jijun, and arrived at Yaocheng in Weijun. Jijun was reversed, and Liu Xing, the county guard, had already run towards Luoyang." ugly.

At the meeting, Yang Ming frowned and said, "Why is he going to join in the fun?"

Cui Shiji said: "I don't know yet, the troops should have been ordered by the king of Qi, and they didn't bring food and supplies, so we know that they ate along the way."

"Well, it's probably because the army exploited the local area and squeezed the people so hard that there was chaos again," Yang Xiong said helplessly, "What exactly does King Qi want to do? What is he doing? Half of Hebei is in trouble."

Yang Ming continued to ask: "What about Yu Wenhuaji, did he go north, or return south to fight the rebellion?"

"I don't know, there are too many military reports during this period, maybe we can know the situation ahead after a while," Cui Shiji said.

In the hall, the atmosphere is heavy.

The recent court meeting basically did not discuss other things, it was all about Hebei, but Guanzhong is far away from Hebei, and the reports received every day are all things that have already happened. No one knows what is going on in Hebei now.

Someone from the Ministry of Punishments asked: "Duke Qi has been taken back to the capital, what does His Highness think, how should the crime be judged?"

Yang Ming asked: "According to the law, how should I ask the crime?"

"According to the law, it's just a fine of salary and a reduction of food," said the official of the Ministry of Punishment.

Yang Ming frowned suddenly: "So light? Just because he is a royal relative?"

The official nodded.

Yang Ming sneered: "The loss of the city and territory caused the rebels to become stronger and harmed the people of several counties. If I condemn him like this, the people of Shangdang County will not agree."

Then, Yang Ming glanced at everyone: "If everyone thinks that they can be exonerated and reduced by relying on the lord on their bodies, wouldn't my laws of the Sui Dynasty be less strict?"

The official of the Ministry of Punishment said: "It's not about the loss of the city and land, but the disadvantage of suppressing the bandits."

In the decree issued by Yang Guang, it was written about bandits, so the high award was defined as bandits, not anti-thieves. This was done to protect Yang Guang's own face.

Yang Guang didn't want to define the civil unrest in Hebei as rebellion, because the rebellion was aimed at the emperor.

Since there are no rebels, where is the loss of the city and land?That is called banditry rampant, raging counties.

Yang Ming sneered, and after a while, he patted the table and said:

"Then blame it on the loss of population. So many people died in the Shangdang, this crime can't be blamed on others. Don't talk about it, just cut the nobles for the people."

The official of the Ministry of Punishment was taken aback, and he hesitated and said: "Is this...should I ask His Majesty for instructions? After all."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Ming had already picked up the pen holder and threw it at him:
"Go do it!"

"Yes, yes, yes," the official of the Ministry of Punishment first returned the pen holder to Yang Ming, and then walked out in despair.

That's ruthless enough to deal with Lu Yongji like this?Wei Jin was silent for a while, and then said:

"I don't know what happened to Yujuluo and the others. If this rebel army cannot be suppressed in time, the canal project may be affected."

"At this juncture, don't think about the canal anymore," Yang Xiong said in a bad tone, "The situation in Hebei is changing every day. If there is another Zhang Yingnian, Li Yingnian, can the canal be built this year?"

Wei Jin said: "Now it is difficult to ride a tiger. Such a huge project can't be stopped just now. If it stops this year, it will have to start again next year. The country can't bear it. At present, it seems that it still needs to be urged. , let them fight an early decisive battle."

"Hurry up, I won't urge you. Yu Juluo's leader is out. He knows better than us what the situation is like. Forcibly urging the war may backfire," Yang Ming said, "Let him fight whatever he wants. The court doesn't want to fight." constraint."

Wei Jin sighed and had nothing to say.

The Turkic King City, Dali City.

Yang Guang has also stayed here for three months. He wanted to go back a long time ago. Unfortunately, Zhuojun reported that the canal project has been affected by the rebels, and the construction period has been delayed. He can't go down the canal by boat now. .

This can't be done, he has already blown the bullshit out, and he must go back by boat, otherwise he will lose face.

So he used the excuse of hunting in the grasslands, and has been taking Qimin to hunt along the Egen River recently.

With the experience of last time, Yang Guang has already greeted Menxia Province, and all the memorials are reserved for him to read, and he is not allowed to report them face to face.

In the evening of that day, after Qimin left, Yang Guang summoned a group of close confidants to enter the account, and began to handle official duties.

There are five bonfires in the middle of the camp, on which cattle and sheep are roasted, and the meat is fragrant.

The memorials were piled up three feet high, and there were several stacks. Yang Guang patiently read each letter carefully, while the other officials chatted happily.

Ordinary people's faces changed long ago when they saw those memorials, but Yang Guang was always expressionless, so that the officials who had been secretly watching his expression couldn't guess whether the content of the memorials was good or bad.

Yu Wenshu and the others knew about Gao Yingnian's rebellion, but they didn't know about it from the emperor. They were informed by letters from members of the clan, and the emperor didn't mention it at all.

If people don't mention it, they dare not mention it.

After a while, Yang Guang finally read it, stretched his waist, looked at everyone with a smile, and said:
"Come, let me have a drink with all the gentlemen."

The ministers quickly stood up and toasted: "Please, Your Majesty."

Next, Yang Guang took the lead in chatting, and the chats were all about Turks.

After a while, Yang Guangcai said: "I want to patrol Zhao and Wei, what do you think?"

He didn't want to stay here anymore, he was no longer used to eating Turkic food, and Yang Guang really had ADHD and couldn't sit still.

Where is the land of Zhao and Wei? Isn't that Shanxi and Hebei?

Pei Ju guessed the emperor's thoughts at the first time, nodded in agreement and said: "The Kyushu and the four seas belong to His Majesty, and the emperor's hunting tour is an act for the peace of the people. I think it should be sooner rather than later."

Here, the emperor has an elite army of 50. If he goes south, the civil unrest in Hebei and Shanxi can be resolved in an instant.

First of all, Pei Ju believes that another meaning of the emperor is that he still wants to procrastinate for time until the canal is completed and go down from Zhuojun along the river.

Yang Guang smiled and nodded: "Shiji knows me best, haven't you met King Xingyang?"

Yang Jin, King of Xingyang, was Pei Ju's grandson. When Yang Jin was born, Pei Ju had gone to Zhangye.

Pei Ju suddenly put on a sad expression: "I have been away from the west for more than two years, and I have not had the opportunity to meet the king of Xingyang."

He has been away from the capital for more than two years, but Yang Jin is three years old this year, why, because he is considered one year old when he is born.

Yang Guang said with a smile: "This time when we return to the south, we can see each other."

When the two of them talked about Yang Jin, Yang Yue and Yang Xuan were the most upset, because Pei Ju was so favored at the moment, and Yang Yue was afraid that the other party would have a wrong mind.

Yang Yue hurriedly smiled and said: "Although the King of Hedong is young, he has few teeth and sharpness. He can already control the horse that His Majesty rewarded King Hedong. As much as [-]% of the time."

"Haha." Yang Guang laughed heartily, I just want you two to fight, if you don't fight, I don't feel at ease.

Pei Ju smiled and said: "That's true. It's rare for a prince to be intelligent. The key is that he can learn everything quickly. Tomorrow, His Majesty might as well test his riding skills for himself. You should know that your words are true."

Yang Yue had a smile on his face, but he whispered in his heart that something was wrong, because Yang Rui had to be led by someone to ride a horse, instead of riding by himself, he was bragging just now.

Fortunately, Yang Guang said with a smile: "In the future, we should ride less, after all, the son is young."

Yang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Since you want to inspect Zhao Wei, you won't be like Turkic, and you won't be surrounded by soldiers. After all, there is a wilderness outside the Great Wall, and Hebei and Shanxi are full of mountains and rivers.

There must be a vanguard.

Yu Wenshu led Zuo Yiwei to Jinyang, and Lai Nuer led You Yiwei to Zhuojun.

The intention is obvious, this is to suppress the rebellion one step in advance, and the nickname is: to open the way for the emperor to go hunting.

As soon as Master Wang arrived, a rebel like Gao Yingnian, who was as weak as Gao Yingnian, had to wait for death, there was no other possibility.

Yang Guang's move was also because he was worried that the canal would not be completed this year. He was not worried about Yang Hao.

The next day, Yang Guang wanted to tell Qimin about his plan to leave, but Qimin reported something that made him very angry.

An envoy from Goguryeo came to Turkic, but it was not to pay homage to Yang Guang, but to offer gifts to Turkic.

Qimin still has a heart for the Sui Dynasty at the moment, so he sold the envoy from Goguryeo to gain Yang Guang's trust.

So Yang Guang immediately asked Qimin to bring in the Goguryeo envoy, pointed at him and said:
"Make the pilgrimage as soon as possible, otherwise, you should lead the Turks and punish them immediately."

It means, I'm giving you one last chance, and if he doesn't know what's good or bad, I'll bring Turkic to destroy you.

Why bring Turks?It is also a divorce, and Yang Guang is worried that the Turks and Goguryeo are colluding in private.

Yang Guang originally had a good face, but now in front of Turkic Qimin, he only felt a great humiliation, and his thoughts on destroying Goguryeo became more and more intense.

In history, Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo three times. This incident played a large role.

Because of one person's face, it is really embarrassing to drag down a unified dynasty that is going uphill.

Pei Ju is good at figuring out Yang Guang's intentions, so he immediately added fuel to the flames, saying that Goguryeo was our territory in the Central Plains from the Han and Jin Dynasties, and it was only split off later. Now I have a strong army in the Sui Dynasty, Your Majesty, you are another generation of heroic heroes At this time, if Koguryo is not included in the territory, when will it be?

He is also right. In history, Jizi, a survivor of the Shang Dynasty, was the first to establish political power on the Korean Peninsula. Jizi was the uncle of Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty. After the demise of the Shang Dynasty, he crossed the sea from Shandong and entered the Korean Peninsula. Established a regime, known as the Jizi Dynasty in history, which lasted for more than 800 years.

Later, during the Warring States Period, after Yan State was destroyed by Qin State, Wei Man, a native of Yan State, took refuge in Jizi North Korea.

From Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the end of the Jin Dynasty, this place has been established as a county by the Central Plains Dynasty. After the Five Husbands and the Central Plains were in chaos, there was no time to take care of it, so they were completely separated.

So the people in that place, their ancestors, are orthodox Chinese people.

Or it is said that Bangzi always applies for world heritage, thinking that many of our things belong to them, because we are their ancestors.
