Chapter 9: The situation changes quietly

The Zhongyuan Festival in the fourth year of Daye is gradually approaching, and officials are beginning to arrange shade lamps in the Luoshui River. The throne of the major temples has also been invited to decorate banners and dragon umbrellas. The residences of various powerful people are also preparing the Ullamide Treasure Basin as always, preparing to compete for the Buddha Light. This year, the Zhongyuan Festival has no excellence in the King of Qi. The Princess Leping's Mansion did not participate in the Ullamide Fo Guang two years ago and last year. Without these two strong opponents, the other major powerful people are ready to compete on the eve of the Zhongyuan.

The Zhongyuan Festival is also the deadline for the Yiwu war. That morning, Yang Yuanqing's memorial was finally delivered to Yang Guang's imperial case.

He reported to Your Majesty, the soldiers used their lives, and the ministers took Yiwu with wisdom, but did not hurt a soldier or a soldier to take Yiwu's country.

"here you go!"

Yang Guang applauded. He stood up excitedly and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. Taking down Yiwu Country means that he has tied the achievements of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions. The stagnation of the previous dynasty at Yumen Pass was finally broken by him. Although Yang Yuanqing easily took down Yiwu Country, this breakthrough was of great significance.

The news that Yang Yuanqing brought to him was enough to make him happy on the Zhongyuan Festival. This was the second good news about the Western Regions that he had received in three days. The day before, he had just received news from Xiping County. Qiezi Khan agreed to Pei Ju's request and led the Tiel coalition to defeat Tuyuhun in the west. Tuyuhun Khan Fuyun sent an envoy to Xiping County, expressing his willingness to surrender to Dasui and begged the Dasui to send troops to Tuyuhun.

Today, Yang Yuanqing occupied Yiwu Kingdom and cut off the Western Turks' rescue route, which means that his strategy of siegeing Tuyuhun has been more than half successful.

Yang Guang paced back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his back. He felt a puzzled heart. Tuyuhun should have asked for help from the Western Turks. He asked the Western Turks to send troops to put pressure on Tiele. His crisis will naturally be lifted. Why did he ask for help from the Sui Dynasty?

Moreover, when the Sui Dynasty sent troops to attack Yiwu Kingdom, Tuyuhun would definitely know first and foremost before him. The Tuyuhun Khan should understand the strategy of the Sui Dynasty. He also came to ask for help from the Sui Dynasty. Isn’t this just a trick with a tiger?

Yang Guang inferred from some common sense that he vaguely realized that Tuyuhun had no kindness. Perhaps this was his plan to surround Wei and save Zhao, defeating the Sui army first, causing the Sui Dynasty's siege strategy to fail, and Tuyuhun's crisis of destruction would be resolved. This should be the case.

Thinking of this, Yang Guang immediately ordered: "Summon Yuwen Shu and Yang Xiong to see me!"

Yang Guang made a decision at this time, and he wanted to use the trick to defeat Tuyuhun in one fell swoop.

After a moment, Yuwen Shu came to the imperial study room first and bowed to salute, "My minister Yuwen Shu met Your Majesty!"

Since Yuwen Shu was convicted of his two sons, he has always been low-key and rarely speaks in the court. He is respectful when he meets important officials. He has changed his previous arrogance and rudeness. In simple terms, he is just a person with his tail between his tail.

Yang Guang has been observing Yuwen Shu. Yuwen Shu has always been loyal to him and has supported him since he was the King of Jin. Over time, people's hearts have been revealed. Yang Guang has always been nostalgic to Yuwen Shu. More importantly, Yuwen Shu is his only in-laws, and he cannot do too much to his in-laws.

In fact, Yang Guang's meanness is one-two. He is very mean to the royal family, the Guanlong nobles, and the descendants of Yang Su, but he is also very tolerant of some old people and southern court officials. For example, Yu Shiji of the Southern Army was demoted for a few years. After being deposed, with the King of Qi being imprisoned, Yu Shiji was reused again and served as the Minister of the Inner History and became the Prime Minister. This is also a means for Yang Guang to balance the power of the court.

Yuanshou of the Guanlong clan replaced Zhang Jin into the pavilion. The prefect of Loufan Li Yuanxiu made contributions to the Fenyang Palace and transferred back to Jing to be promoted to the young supervisor in the hall, which slightly strengthened the power of the Guanlong clan. The northern clan clan had a double Pei in charge, and its power was always very strong. The southern clan clan had a great reduction in its strength. According to the principle of Liang and Chen alternation, the person who replaced Xiao Cong should be an old minister of the Chen Dynasty. Yang Guang searched for it and finally locked his eyes on Yu Shiji, who was the minister he trusted the most. He was guilty of his wife and had no fault in himself. Yang Guang recalled Yu Shiji back to Beijing and restored his post.

At the Yuwen Shu in front of him, Yang Guang was also ready to use him again. Yang Guang smiled and said, "General Yuwen, how about your two sons?"

Yu Wen and Yu Wen Zhi and Yu Wen Shu both gave Yu Wen Shu slaves. Yu Wen Shu hurriedly reported: "I dare not treat them well. They guarded the Mi Cang for me, worked with my servants, and ate brown rice. This is much more restrained than before. I dare not plead for them."

Yang Guang received Yang Yuanqing's memorial and handed it to Yuwen Shu, sighing and said, "As both my old ministers, Yang Su's grandson is much better than your two sons. Look at what Yang Yuanqing did in the Western Regions, why can't the Yuwen family produce a young general who can share my worries, and you, the veteran, take action."

Yuwen Shu knelt down and cried, "I have given them rich clothes and food since I was a child, and have developed a sense of arrogance and extravagance. I am too late to regret it now!"

"Get up!"

Yang Guang smiled, "But Shi Ji is still good. Although he is in literature, his future is bright. I will slowly improve him. Now I have an important thing to you. If you do this, I will restore your position as a general."

Yuwen Shu was so excited that he kowtowed, "I would like to be fooled by Your Majesty and die before he dies!"

"Okay! I ordered you to be the general manager of Xiping Road marching, leading 30,000 troops out of Xiping County to attack Tuyuhun, but you should not go too far into the enemy's territory and defeat it."

"I obey the order!"

At this time, King Ande Yang Xiong also came in response to the imperial edict. He gave a deep tribute, "My minister Yang Xiong, please see Your Majesty!"

Yang Xiong is the brother of the Yang Guang clan and the founding elder of the Great Sui Dynasty. He is currently the Yin of Jingzhao. He is also a brave and good general. Although he is 64, his sword is still old.

Yang Guang also immediately said: "Tuyuhun pretended to surrender. I want to use the trick to defeat his main force in one fell swoop. I have appointed General Yuwen as the general manager of Xiping Road. Now I have appointed you as the general manager of the marching of the Jiaohedao. Lead an army of 20,000 to attack Tuyuhun from the side. Just defeat it, and do not go deeper."

"My minister Yang Xiong obeys the order!"

Yang Xiong and Yuwen Shu walked out of the Xuanzheng side hall, and Yang Xiong bowed and smiled, "Congratulations to Mr. Xu for reusing it."

Yuwen Shu's title was named Duke Xu, and Duke Xu was his honorable title. He sighed slightly, "I would rather my son be able to use it anymore. We are all old and are now the world of young people!"

Yuwen Shu thought that Yang Yuanqing was actually appointed as the chief marching manager of Yumendao and could already stand alone, and his son was still a slave in Micang, so he felt extremely disappointed.

Yang Xiong's son Yang Gongren is currently the Minister of Personnel and has great power. His other sons are doing well. Even his 19-year-old youngest son Yang Shidao is both civil and military, and is quite popular with the emperor. Now the palace is the head of the straight pavilion.

Yang Xiong knew that Yuwen Shu was sad for his two sons, so he comforted him, "Mr. Xu, don't worry, generally speaking, those who accomplish great things will have many setbacks. Although Yang Yuanqing is proud now, he may not be able to die well. Isn't his grandfather the best example?"

Yang Xiong was Yang Su's deputy when he was cultivating Luoyang in the eastern capital. He had a bad relationship with Yang Su, so although Yang Yuanqing was good, he did not agree with it. Moreover, Yang Yuanqing's excellence made his son Yang Shidao, who was the same age, look down on him. He felt a little jealous in his heart, and there was a bit of provocation between his words.

Yuwen Shu had already learned enough lessons. Although he hated Yang Yuanqing in his heart, he would never stand up again. He just smiled faintly and said, "Prince, let's discuss the use of Tuyuhun! Don't lose to the younger generation."

The younger generation he mentioned refers to Yang Yuanqing. Yang Xiong smiled and said, "Okay! When you go to my mansion, I will invite Yu Zhongwen to consult and let's discuss it carefully."

Yang Guang has always been very taboo about the Guanlong nobles and always spared no effort to suppress them. However, for the need for power balance, he also needed to add a Guanlong noble in the cabinet, first Dugu Luo, then Zhang Jin, and now it is Yuanshou's turn.

The Taifu Qing Yuanshou was appointed as the Inner Historian a month ago and joined the cabinet as prime minister, which enabled the Yuan family to enter the upward channel. Yuan Hongsi, another important figure in the Yuan family, has always been the general manager of Youzhou, with a high position and a powerful position, making the Yuan family's position in the court of importance.

Of course, this is related to the fact that King Qi had an affair with the Yuan family's daughter-in-law, and Yang Guang felt guilty towards the Yuan family. The Yuan family held a grudge against his wife Wei, and hated him deeply. Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of her cheating that the Yuan family would be in operation, which made the Yuan family unexpected.

In the evening, Yuanshou had already left the court and was sitting in the study reading. At this time, the voice of the third son Yuanmin came from outside the door, "Father, Li Shaojian is here to visit!"

Li Shaojian is Li Yuan, the young supervisor in the hall. He has visited several times, but he has been rejected by Yuanshou. Yuanshou has always been resentful of Li Yuan for the murder of his nephew Yuan Shangying. When Yuan Zhou was executed, the last words left behind were to ask him to take care of his son, but he did not fulfill his responsibilities, which led to Yuanshou being killed by Yang Yuanqing. This has made him extremely guilty for several months and made him hate Yang Yuanqing to the core.

Li Yuan was his accomplice of Yang Yuanqing. In the past few months, whether Li Yuan wrote a letter to explain or visited him, he ignored him. The situation was very clear at that time. Yang Yuanqing and Li Yuan had common interests, and their relationship had always been good. Therefore, in order to ensure the construction period of Fenyang Palace, Yang Yuanqing and Li Yuan must have conspired to get rid of Yuan Shangying.

Now that his nephew has been killed, Li Yuan came to apologize again. He wanted to reconcile with the Yuan family, so there was no such cheap thing. Yuanshou waved his hand impatiently, "Tell him, I won't see you!"

Yuanmin heard that his father was tough and had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the mansion. Yuanmin was a palace guard and had a very good relationship with Li Yuan's son-in-law Chai Shao. He was entrusted by Chai Shao to find Li Yuan a chance to reconcile with his father. Seeing that he was in a good mood these two days, he secretly told Chai Shao to let Li Yuan come to visit. Unexpectedly, his father's attitude was still tough, which made him a little helpless.

Yuanmin hurried to the front door of the mansion, and saw Li Yuan and his son looking at each other with anticipation in his eyes. He had to sigh and bow to him, "Uncle Shi, I'm sorry, my father still refuses to see him. Let's wait for that matter to fade away, and I'll have another chance."

Li Yuan's face was extremely disappointed. Today he came with expectations, but he was still turned away. The Yuan family was the leader of the Guanlong nobles, and Yuanshou joined the cabinet again as prime minister. If he did not resolve this revenge with the Yuan family, it would be difficult for the Li family to gain a foothold among the Guanlong nobles in the future. Li Yuan sighed and said helplessly: "Okay! Thank you Mr. Yuan."

At this time, Yuan Min suddenly remembered someone and hurriedly said, "My father attaches great importance to his uncle Hongsi. I heard that he is also reporting his duties in Beijing. It is better for Uncle Shi to go to him first."

Li Yuan frowned. He had no friendship with Yuan Hongsi, so why did he find him? At this time, the eldest son Jiancheng gently touched his father's hand from behind. Li Yuan woke up and smiled and said, "Then I won't bother, I'll say goodbye!"

After getting on the carriage, Li Yuan asked Jiancheng with some complaint: "How do you ask me to find Yuan Hongsi? I have no friendship with him."

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Although my father has no friendship with him, his uncle has friendship with him."

A sentence reminded Li Yuan that when Dou Kang, the brother of his wife Dou, was the chief minister of Youzhou, Yuan Hongsi was his subordinate, and the relationship between the two was extremely deep.

Li Yuan slapped his forehead and laughed, "Why did I forget this path?"

He immediately ordered the coachman, "Go to Dou Mansion!"
