Fenghou

Jingzhaotai Baijiu Restaurant, after nightfall, no matter Baozhu Tower in the west or Mingyue Tower in the east, business is very hot.

In a private room on the third floor of the Baozhu Building, a dozen or so young people were chatting happily. The leader was about 20 years old, tall and handsome. He was Yang Zaixing's eldest son, Yang Wenyuan.

Yang Zaixing has three sons, the eldest son Yang Wenyuan, the second son Yang Wenjie, and the third son Yang Wenyi. Among the three sons, Yang Wenyi is the most promising. He joined the army at the age of 15. Now, he followed Liu Qiong to expedition to the Western Regions.

Yang Wenjie is relatively mediocre, but also very honest. He manages the family business at home. Yang Zaixing has made countless contributions and received countless rewards. There are three in Guang Manor, dozens of shops, seven or eight beautiful houses in various places, and countless money.

The eldest son, Yang Wenyuan, studies literature and is currently studying at Guozixue. The group of scholars drinking today are all his classmates.

Literati are more dissolute, and it is more obvious in Yang Wenyuan. He puts his arm around a beautiful prostitute from a restaurant.

"Brother Wen Yuan likes them so much, let's take them home!"

The two women said coquettishly: "That's right! Take us home! Let's serve the Yamen together on the bed."

Yang Wenyuan was distracted, and said with a smile: "My family has a lot of houses, I can find a house to house you, and I will take you as concubines later when I get married."

"good idea!"

The scholars applauded and laughed, and one scholar jokingly said: "Let your father build a golden house, and Yang Dalang's golden house will hide the beauty, and it will become Jing Zhaomei's talk!"

"Da Lang, we want a golden house." The two women acted like a baby in his arms.

"Okay! I will build a golden house for you tomorrow."

At this time, a scholar next to him sneered: "Even the emperor dare not say that he wants a golden house, your Yang family has such a big face!"

Yang Wenyuan slapped the table and said angrily, "Qiu Hairong, don't fart here!"

"Everyone knows the allusion of the Golden House Cangjiao, but you don't know, you are ignorant!"

The Golden House Cangjiao is the story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Queen Gillian. Of course Yang Wenyuan knew that he was just joking, no matter how rich he was, he would never build a golden house for two prostitutes.

But this Qiu Hairong's words stimulated him, he stood up suddenly, pressed the table and said sharply: "Do you think I am not worthy of a golden house? Tell you, half of my Yang family is in this world, and my father holds hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If not He is humble, Jiangshan's surname is now Yang, not Chen!"

The other scholars were terrified, and quickly smoothed things over: "Drink too much wine, talk nonsense!"

Qiu Hairong sneered, "Say it again if you have the guts!"

"Why did I tell you, who are you?"

Yang Wenyuan passed by him, suddenly picked up a basin full of oil soup, and slammed it on Qiu Hairong's head. Everyone exclaimed, and Yang Wenyuan said to the bartender viciously: "Check out, I'm upset, I don't want to eat!"

Yang Wenyuan walked away, and everyone hurriedly wiped the oil soup on Pei Hairong's head, face and body, complaining to him, "That man is used to being arrogant, why did you provoke him?"

With a livid face, Pei Hairong gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't take revenge, I, Pei Hairong, will not be a human being!"

……

During this period of time, Wei began to adjust and transform, and put most of his energy on investigating economic crimes, such as counterfeiting counterfeit tickets, counterfeiting silver coins, and buying and selling private salt.

Of course, one of the most important tasks of the inner guards is to protect the emperor. The emperor's bodyguards are only personal protection when danger comes, but the inner guards still need to do peripheral protection and danger prediction.

In the morning, Zhong Huan was checking reports from various places in the official room. At this time, one of his subordinates reported from the hall, "General Qi, I have something important to report!"

"what's up?"

"A scholar from Guozixue came and said he wanted to sue Yang Zaixing for treason!"

"what?"

Chong Huan was taken aback. Yang Zaixing's rebellion was really a big deal.

"Where are the people?"

"In the first reception room!"

"I gonna go see."

Zhong Huan got up and walked outside, asking as he walked, "What is the background of the complainant?"

"The complainant's surname is Qiu, and he is the son of Fen Governor Shi Qiuyan."

It's completely irrelevant, how could the son of a civil servant sue Yang Zaixing for treason?

The soldier added: "He and Yang Zaixing's son are classmates!"

That's the case, it's kind of possible.

Zhong Huan came to the first reception room and saw a scholar pacing back and forth with his hands behind his hands.

The scholar is Qiu Hairong. He was humiliated by Yang Wenyuan last night and couldn't bear it, so he came to the inner guard to inform him.

It's embarrassing to say that Qiu Hairong and Yang Wenyuan were originally in the same dormitory, and they had the best relationship and talked about everything, but because of various trivial matters in life, there were conflicts between them, and they couldn't get used to each other. The relationship is frozen, and they don't live together.

But last night Yang Wenyuan really went too far, putting the soup bowl on Qiu Hairong's head was considered a burst of resentment in his heart, but for scholars, this was a great shame and humiliation.

At this time, a soldier reminded him: "General Zhong is here, he is the leader of our inner guard!"

Qiu Hairong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in salute, "Student Qiu Hairong, see General Zhong!"

"Young Master Qiu, you are welcome, please sit down!"

Zhong Huan still respected scholars very much, and he was also a scholar back then.

The two sat down, Zhong Huan looked at the statement written by the other party, and said with a smile: "Yang Zaixing is a general of hussars, marshal of the Northern Route Army, do you know?"

"Students know!"

"Okay! You go on."

"Last night, Yang Wenyuan told everyone openly at the wine table that half of the world is his Yang family, and his father has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands. If his father hadn't been humble, Jiang Shan's surname would be Yang instead of Chen. The student wrote it very clearly in the report, I was not the only one who heard it, the nine scholars present, two prostitutes, and a bartender all heard it, and I wrote down the list clearly in the report."

Zhong Huan's face changed slightly, it was a bit outrageous to say this publicly, Yang Zaixing's son would be so stupid?

"How much alcohol did he drink at the time?"

"We've just started, the dishes haven't been served yet, and we've only had one round of wine, a maximum of two glasses of wine per person. He's very sober and always arrogant. When he left, he put a pot of soup on my head."

Zhong Huan was stunned, "Why?"

"He said he was going to build a golden house for two prostitutes. The golden house hides the beauty. I ridiculed him for being ignorant and ignorant of the allusion of the golden house. He became furious!"

"So, what he just said was angry?"

Qiu Hairong bowed and said: "General Zhong, if I say what he said, everyone will definitely not take it seriously, but he is the eldest son of Yang Zaixing, what he said is different from what others say! And he not only said Once."

"What else did he say?"

"We used to live in a dormitory, and we often chatted at night. He said that his father was humiliated by King Yong when he attacked Luoyang. He originally wanted to rebel, but he endured it later. He was a little regretful. If his father had been more ruthless at the time, he would be the prince now. gone."

Zhong Huan narrowed his eyes, and actually talked about a specific battle. This is not like talking nonsense!

"He also said something disrespectful to the emperor."

"What disrespectful words, say!"

Qiu Hairong gritted his teeth and said: "He said that his father likes a pair of twin sisters of His Royal Highness King Yong, especially the one with a thin waist and a big butt. His father has always been thinking about it!"

"presumptuous!"

Chong Huan slapped the table, "It's best not to mention such things again, otherwise your whole family will not be able to survive!"

Qiu Hairong lowered his head in fright, "He said this, the students dare not speak nonsense."

Zhong Huan realized that the problem was a bit big. Most people don’t know about His Majesty’s Yu Zhaoyi and Yu Zhaorong, and they can’t see them. This student won’t just talk nonsense, it must be from Yang Wenyuan’s mouth. Could it be that Yang Zaixing really has such thoughts?

Chong Huan also knew that Yang Zaixing's biggest problem was his lust for women. There were more than [-] wives and concubines in his family. It was reasonable for him to covet Yu Zhaoyi and Yu Zhaorong, but how could he tell his son about this? Otherwise, how would his son know ?

"We will start an investigation. You are not allowed to tell anyone what happened today, understand?"

"Students are tight-lipped!"

Qiu Hairong bid farewell and left.

Zhong Huan immediately called together several confidants and ordered them to go to investigate. There will be news at noon, because Yang Zaixing led an army of [-] to prepare for the war in Datong. This matter is very important and cannot be delayed.

The first thousand and 550 chapters

In the afternoon, Chen Qing was standing alone in front of the map of Koryo, thinking.

He had previously received military reports from Tamna Island that the Koryo army attempted to attack Tamna Island, but was discovered by the defenders of Tamna Island, and attacked first, burning hundreds of ships of the opponent.

The nature of this matter is very serious. Goryeo thinks of provoking a war because she is overwhelmed?

Although Goryeo was oppressed by Jin State, it doesn’t mean they want to join Yong Dynasty. On the contrary, Goryeo has always been hostile to Yong Dynasty. For some unknown reason, they didn’t send envoys to come and stay in Jingzhao when Yong Dynasty was established. envoy.

In fact, Chen Qing also knew the purpose of Koryo's surprise attack on Tamna Island. They wanted to take hostages and exchange more than 4 Korean prisoners of war on the Liaodong Iron Mine, but there is no such cheap thing in the world.

Since he became the dog of the Kingdom of Jin, he had to pay the price.

Chen Qing began to consider the plan to attack Goryeo.

Although the Koreans used despicable means to steal an iron fire thunder, Chen Qing was not worried.

The formula, craftsmanship and iron shell production of gunpowder were not so well developed. Jin Guo caught so many craftsmen of the Song Dynasty and couldn't develop it. A small Goryeo, without any foundation of gunpowder and firearms, can it develop iron fire thunder?

At this time, Yang Tai reported at the door: "Your Majesty, General Zhong urgently seeks an audience!"

Chen Qing nodded, "Let him wait in Zhen Yu's study!"

Chen Qing put down the wooden pole, turned around and walked towards the imperial study room. He was also a little strange. At this time, what urgent information does the inner guard have?

……

In the imperial study room, Chen Qing squinted his eyes and listened to Zhong Huan's report. Chen Qing was also a little shocked. How could Yang Zaixing have such a simple-minded and stupid son?His youngest son, Yang Wenyi, is so kind. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old and he followed the army to expedition to the Western Regions.

But Chen Qing also knew that Yang Zaixing was a bit fickle when it came to men and liked women, Chen Qing also knew that he liked the Yu sisters, Yu Ying and Yu Lian were all men, even Lu Wei!

But they were his concubines, and they gave birth to their children, so they could only be envious. In this respect, Chen Qing would not be dissatisfied with Yang Zaixing.

However, Zhong Huan's mention of Luoyang made Chen Qing feel a little uncomfortable. It is impossible for Yang Wenyuan to know about Luoyang, Yang Zaixing must have told him.

The only conflict between Chen Qing and Yang Zaixing happened in Luoyang. Yang Zaixing failed to issue a military order, was dismissed from office, deprived of his military power, and beaten with a hundred army sticks. Afterwards, he took the initiative to find him for reconciliation.

But Chen Qing never expected that Yang Zaixing would harbor hatred towards him because of this.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Qing asked again: "Is it true what Yang Wenyuan said last night?"

"It is indeed true. The humble staff has sent people to investigate and questioned six people. They all proved that Yang Wenyuan said that, and it was not a drunken talk, nor was it a domineering kind of innermost feelings."

"Have you warned them?"

"I have been warned, they are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense."

Chen Qing took a few steps behind his back, "This is the end of this matter, don't investigate any more, and don't worry about Yang Wenyuan, let him say what he wants, and find an excuse to let Qiu Hairong go home to recuperate."

"Understandable!"

Zhong Huan also knew that the rest of the matter had nothing to do with him, so he retreated slowly.

Chen Qing paced back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his hands. He thought of the southern gentry and the northern aristocrats in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The gentry could accept it, but the aristocrats?Chen Qing was very vigilant, especially when it came to the military lords. He would not allow warlords to become powerful. Maybe he needed their support to ascend the throne, but he would never allow them to become powerful. Yang Zaixing was already a warlord to some extent.

……

Qiu Hairong got the hint, and immediately spent money to find a doctor, clamped his arm with a board, and hung it around his neck, claiming that he accidentally fell and broke his arm, so he applied for a suspension of school for half a year and went home to recuperate.

Yang Wenyuan didn't know what happened, he was very proud, he had a kind of comfort that those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish, and those who offend him will be unlucky.

……

In Datong Mansion, the [-] troops are ready. It is already mid-February, and the snow on the grassland is gradually melting. Although it is not the best time to send troops to the grassland, the best time to send troops to the grassland is mid-March.

But the hundreds of thousands of soldiers had already geared up, and when the emperor gave an order, the army set off in mighty strength.

The main general of this Northern Expedition is Yang Zaixing and his deputy Gao Ding. They will cooperate with the three major tribes in the grassland to wipe out the Naiman tribe who have grown stronger through the influence of the Western Liao Dynasty.At the same time, it occupies a large area of ​​land in and around Ketun City.

This morning, Yang Zaixing received an urgent pigeon letter from the emperor from Jingzhao, which contained only one sentence, "There are changes in the grassland, waiting for orders!" '

Yang Zaixing was confused, so he sent someone to find Gao Ding. Gao Ding pondered for a moment and said, "It should be that there is something wrong with Xiliao. The situation in the grassland is very complicated and subtle, and there are many variable factors. An increase of 20 troops will not be enough for our [-] troops. For another example, Xiliao and the grassland ministries have reached a secret agreement. After we send troops, the grassland ministries will change their minds and no longer provide logistical support. There is some news that makes the emperor cautious."

Yang Zaixing nodded, "Actually, I feel that this Northern Expedition is more like a political contest. To stabilize the grassland, we can't let one family become big, and we must weaken the grassland ministries. We still need to have three hundred miles around the grassland. We must send troops to garrison the land, which has never happened before, the emperor and the prime minister of the internal affairs hall have discussed it, but we don't know anything about it."

Gao Ding smiled and said: "We are soldiers, and we have to carry out the military orders."

Yang Zaixing sighed, "Soldiers are laborers, and in the end they will be ruled by those who work hard. I feel aggrieved!"

Gao Ding saw that Yang Zaixing was not in a good mood, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he reluctantly said: "Your Majesty will explain to us, please wait patiently!"

"hope so!"

……

A few days later, several cavalry dispatched from [-] miles rushed to Datong Mansion and handed Yang Zaixing a letter from the Son of Heaven. The army is temporarily led by Gao Ding.

Yang Zaixing had no doubts, and immediately handed over the general power to Gao Ding. He led [-] soldiers and rushed to the capital day and night.
