Chapter 1 Entering Beijing as a Quality
In order to alleviate the crisis, Xiao Yi proposed to let Xiao Maha go to Beijing to apologize.
This is a risky strategy, but it is a best strategy. All the people in the world see Xiao Moha's sincerity in supporting the Great Sui Dynasty. When Yang Jian treated Xiao Moha with courtesy, he still named him the General of the Cavalry and the Three Sessions. It can be seen that Yang Jian was the most accustomed to this.
After hearing Xiao Yi's plan, the generals expressed their agreement.
Originally, Xiao Yi planned to go to Beijing with Xiao Mohe, but in the end he was vetoed by Xiao Mohe and the generals.
Eggs cannot be kept in one basket.
Xiao Yi was left in Mayi to make a perfect solution.
According to Xiao Yi's plan, Xiao Mohe personally went to Beijing to take the thorns and apologized for guilt. He ordered his confidant Pang Zhen to bring several large boxes of gold, silver and treasures to Beijing to visit the powerful and powerful people of the dynasty. In particular, Xiao Yi specifically instructed the queen Dugu Jialuo to especially like jade jewelry, but he did not dare to wear it because of his reputation of being thrifty. He ordered people to prepare hairpins that looked simple on the surface but showed precious but precious ebony carved, bracelets and Buddhist beads for her.
At the same time, Xiao Mohe also presented his sword and the sword that was sharpened like mud, and gave it to Queen Dugu's eldest nephew Dugu, who likes to collect famous swords, and asked him to speak nice things to Xiao Mohe in front of Queen Dugu.
Of course, the most important point is to promote Kong Fan's image as a villain and treacherous minister, spread the crimes he committed in Nanchen in the capital, so that everyone can know Kong Fan's face, and make it spread to Yang Jian and Queen Dugu.
As expected, Yang Jian compared himself to Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang. How could he tolerate such treacherous ministers around him? And Empress Dugu liked the exquisite jewelry made of ebony, especially ebony, which was very Buddhist and warded off evil spirits. She was very happy and said to Yang Jian: Since Kong Fan was a treacherous minister, Zhao Chuo, who married him, would naturally not be much better. The person impeached by the treacherous ministers must be a good person. Xiao Maha was famous for his loyalty, righteousness and bravery. This time, he knew that the emperor might kill him, but he did not escape. Instead, he went to the capital to apologize for his crimes. It can be seen that he was just and did not have selfish intentions. Moreover, Xiao Shiluo, who was in chaos in the south, was not Xiao Maha's biological son, and he rashly punished him and injured the image of a wise ruler.
Dugu Jialuo's words made thousands of troops more than one horse. Yang Jian naturally believed it, so he ordered the pardon of Xiao Maha.
Zhao Chuo was unwilling to accept it and insisted on impeaching Xiao Mohe in front of Yang Jian and demanding accusation of him.
Later, the biography of Emperor Wen of the recorded the dialogue between the monarch and his ministers that day:
Emperor Wen of Sui said: "Xiao Shilei is not yet twenty years old, what can he do? He is just because he is the son of a famous general, so he is coerced by others." Zhao Chuo made great efforts to advise Xiao Maha that he could not let Xiao Maha go like this, and Emperor Wen could not make him surrender. Emperor Wen wanted to wait until Zhao Chuo left before ordering the pardon of Xiao Maha, so he asked Zhao Chuo to retreat for dinner. However, Zhao Chuo replied: "The case I submitted has not been rebelled yet, so I dare not retreat." Emperor Wen was displeased and had to announce: "Please ask the judge of Dali Temple to pardon Xiao Maha for me." So he ordered his close ministers to release Xiao Maha.
Under Xiao Yi's command, a family-killing crisis was resolved immediately. Not only was Xiao Moha acquitted, but Xiao Moha's name of loyalty and righteousness spread all over the world again under the background of Kong Fan's image as a treacherous minister, Yang Jian's favor and rewarded him with a large amount of gold, silver and treasures.
The funds spent in order to make some money were not only recovered, but also made a small profit. It was a surprise. But what Xiao Maha was most happy was Yang Jian's words, and the military expenditure that had been owed to 30,000 yuan for many years of the Knights Camp was immediately allocated to Xiao Maha by the Ministry of Revenue.
However, how can the mutual infighting in the court be easily ended?
After all, Xiao Mohe was a surrendered general in the Southern Chen Dynasty. Controlling their military pay was equivalent to controlling Xiao Mohe and his 30,000 cavalry camp members, making him afraid to be unwilling to be ungrateful. Now that Xiao Mohe came to the capital, he not only was he acquitted, but he made his reputation, and he also received military pay that he had been owed for many years.
For the original Guanlong military group, these undoubtedly mean that foreign forces slapped them, so they naturally refused to give up.
Especially Yuwen Shu, Xiao Mohe was in the capital when he was also in the capital. Yuwen Shu always suspected that the mysterious secret of the mysterious heart was on Xiao Yi, so he naturally held a grudge against Xiao Mohe.
This time, Yuwen Shu went to Beijing to establish a comprehensive offensive and defensive alliance with Yang Su. He had only reached an agreement with Yang Su to verbally assist King Yang Guang of Jin. This time, it was truly implemented, allowing Yang Su to completely turn to Yang Guang and clear obstacles for Yang Guang to seize the position of prince.
Under Yuwen Shu's encouragement, Yang Su was soon dissatisfied with Xiao Maha, and immediately went to the palace to meet Yang Jian, asking him to take back his life.
Yuwen Shu and Yang Su are both ministers that Yang Jian values the most. Seeing that they oppose, Yang Jian felt a little embarrassed. After all, he has issued an order to pardon Xiao Maha's crime of implicating him. If you don't joke, how can you change your orders every day?
Yang Su also knew this, so he took a step back and asked, "Your Majesty, even if Xiao Maha is not investigated, he should not be allowed to return to Bingzhou and should be detained in the capital."
Yuwen Shu also said: "Xiao Mohe is a general of Southern Chen after all. Now, the wars in the south have been fought for years, and all the old generals of Southern Chen have rebelled. Xiao Mohe has a huge influence on them and has now received military pay. If it echoes the rebels in the south, it will be extremely harmful to the Sui Dynasty. Please think twice."
Yang Jian nodded, and he also knew the interests. However, he had just praised Xiao Maha, and everyone in the world knew about it. Suddenly he was detained in the capital, which inevitably led to the benefits of verbalism and defilement of his holy king's name.
Yang Jian said: "It is useless to detain Xiao Moha alone in the capital. His two sons are already adults. The eldest son Xiao Shiluo is even guarding Yanmen Pass, and has real power in his hands. If Xiao Moha is detained rashly, it will inevitably not arouse suspicion from Xiao Shiluo and his subordinates. The south is unstable, and detaining Xiao Moha is not the best strategy, and it may be possible to backfire."
Yang Su thought for a while and said, "Then I will recruit Xiao Moha's own son Xiao Yi to the capital as a host. Xiao Moha no longer has the ambitions of that year, and his only son is his weakness. Detaining Xiao Yi in the capital can avoid worrying about Xiao Moha."
Yuwen Shu was just thinking about this, and was worried that she could not attack Xiao Yi. If she brought him to the capital, she might get the strange book. She immediately agreed.
Yang Jian was displeased and said, "Why did Xiao Yi get him to the capital yet? Do you want everyone in the world to know that I plan to detain Xiao Moha's son as a hostage?"
"Have your majesty calm down!"
Yang Su and Yuwen Shu looked at each other, and the former quickly became scheming, so he said, "Your Majesty can do this, choose a princess who is about to marry, and announce the recruitment of the prince-consort to the public. With this as the famous general, Xiao Yi can be recruited into the capital."
Yang Jian said angrily: "Does I have to take a daughter in order to seize the hostages? It's so outrageous!"
Yang Su hurriedly said, "Your Majesty calms down! I don't mean that! This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. Please listen to the old minister's words slowly."
Yang Jian nodded, and Yang Su continued: "Recruiting Xiao Yi to Beijing in the name of choosing a princess is just a pretext. Your Majesty did not only recruit Xiao Yi to Beijing, but also the princes of aristocratic families in various states, especially those who have close ties with the southern aristocratic families, are recruiting them into the capital in this name. The princess' choice of a princess is not something that can be accomplished in one or two days, and can be delayed indefinitely. The name is to choose a princess, but it is actually to use them as hostages, so that they dare not have any unfair intentions or support the southern rebels."
Yang Jian understood and then his face improved.
Yang Su continued, "Of course, among so many candidates, maybe there are candidates that the emperor and the princess like, and then summoned as the princess to be the princess, wouldn't it be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?"
After Yang Su finished speaking, he glanced at Yuwen Shu again, and the latter hurriedly agreed.
Yang Jian nodded, agreeing to the plan of the two in his heart. This not only allows Xiao Yi to be detained to restrain Xiao Mohe, but also other external officials and generals. It is indeed a good plan.
"But, I don't have a princess of the right age to marry, what should I do?"
Yang Su smiled and said, "It's not necessary to have a princess, it's okay for the daughter of the royal family."
Yuwen Shu suggested at this time: "Princess Lanling seems to be fifteen years old this year. She is the emperor's favorite princess. She is like a princess in the world. Everyone in the world knows it. If the emperor chooses his husband for Princess Lanling to recruit powerful children from various families to Beijing, no one will know the emperor's true intention, which can be completely concealed."
Yang Jian nodded and said, "Lin'er is indeed at the age of marriage, but she has a big temper. She has been refusing the marriage prepared by the queen for her in recent years. She may not agree to this matter?"
Yang Su and Yuwen Shu looked at each other, and it turns out that Yang Jian treated Princess Lanling differently. If it were other royal women, even Yang Jian's biological daughter would not hesitate like this.
"How can children decide the major affairs of marriage? The emperor must show off his power, otherwise it will make people laugh at him."
Well, Yang Su was cruel enough. He pushed Yang Jian into the corner with just one sentence, but he couldn't say anything to refute.
"Since that's the case, I will discuss with the queen immediately. The two Qing families are fully responsible for the specific matters."
"Abide by the order!"
Yang Su and Yuwen Shu looked at each other again, and they all showed the joy of victory.
