Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Above the Golden Palace, Yang Guanglong was furious, and shouted: "These Xiaoxiao, how dare you kill my general of the Sui Dynasty!"

Yang Lin frowned, and stood on His Highness with downcast eyes, thoughtful.

Originally he reported the Shandong uprising to the imperial court, but the Holy Majesty didn't take it seriously, he just said lightly: "It's just some thieves, it won't make a big difference, why does the emperor personally go out and send people to suppress it."

He knew how powerful Qin Qiong and the unknown masked boy were, so he only recommended Wei Wentong to be on the safe side, and Wei Wentong felt guilty for releasing the Shandong rebels because of a mistake at the Tongguan Pass, and was thinking about it. Taking the crime and doing the meritorious service, in this way, it also complements each other.

But who would have thought that before the army reached Wagangzhai, at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei, the coach Wei Wentong was killed by his own Qinglong sword, and all the more than a hundred soldiers survived!

The dragons had no leader, and the army was temporarily stationed at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei, and could not advance or retreat.

After Yang Guang had vented his anger by cursing, he asked angrily, "Who is willing to be in command to suppress those rebels?"

All the officials are silent.

In fact, there are not many brave generals in the imperial court.

The old prince Wu Jianzhang scolded the palace and was executed by all the families.

Duke Gao Jiong of the State of Qi stood on the frontline of deposing the prince Yang Yong and opposed the former emperor changing Yang Guang to be the prince, so he was hated by Yang Guang. He found a charge of "falsely discussing the policy of the court", killed people, and exiled the whole family.

Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, was different from the above two. He was brave and good at fighting, and made great achievements for the Sui Dynasty. This emperor is Yang Guang!

Yang Guang's kindness to Yang Su is very shallow, but on the contrary, he is so adaptable, and the treacherous and cunning Yang Su makes Yang Guang afraid.Yang Su suffered from a minor illness, so Yang Guang summoned the imperial physician to visit him every day, secretly asking again and again if Yang Su was terminally ill?I am afraid that he will not die.

Yang Su also knew that his fame and status had reached the limit, he was suspected by the emperor, he was in panic all day long, and eventually fell ill and died.

He Ruobi of Shangzhu Kingdom saw the extravagance and licentiousness of the emperor when he visited Yulin in Yang Guangbei, and complained privately with Yu Wenbi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. As a result, he was reported and killed overnight for the crime of slandering the government.

Shangzhu Guohan Qinhu felt tired looking at the muddy court, and he was already old, so he used the excuse of recuperating and stayed at home all year round.

Changping Wang Qiurui kept his eyes open and his heart in check. Since he saw the post about the Shandong Uprising, he had carefully collected his mood. You must know that among the names in the first row was his nephew Qin Qiong.Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will never take the initiative to ask to be in command to play.

From this point of view, among the military generals in the court, there are really few available.

Yang Guang looked at the court hall, one by one stood there like wooden stakes, motionless, except for the extra breath, he was no different from a dead person, and he was angry in his heart.

At this moment, he really misses Yuwen Chengdu who went to Beiping Mansion to preach the decree. By the way, there is also Luo Cheng. This kid is very skilled in martial arts, straightforward, and extremely brave. If he uses it well, he will definitely be a fierce general in the Sui Dynasty. Thinking about it, Yang Guang felt better.

What is a courtier?A treacherous and flattering official.

The first thing is that those who are eager to be in charge are in a hurry, and it is easy to make suggestions, regardless of whether it is a good plan or a bad plan.

No, Prime Minister Yu Wenhua stepped out of the line, squinted at Yang Lin, who was standing silently at the side, lost in thought, and said: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate these thieves, their background is not small, the leader is Backing the Thirteen Taibao under the command of the mountain king Chitose."

Yang Lin was thinking about who could make Wei Wentong die under his sword, when suddenly he was called out, glared at Yu Wenhua and said, "That's all in the past, the old man and that rebellious son have long since severed their friendship and have nothing to do with each other."

"The relationship between father and son, I'm afraid it's not so easy to let go."

Compared with Yu Wenhuaji with a smile on his face and soft-spoken words, Yang Lin was indeed cold-eyed, and said in a deep voice: "Yu Wenhuaji, the old man is clear and unclear, the emperor has his own holy judgment, and you are not allowed to confuse black and white here. Make waves."

Yang Guang's eyes drooped slightly, and he said lightly: "Okay, okay, isn't it just a few thieves, just suppress them. What Prime Minister Yuwen said is not unreasonable. I can trust the emperor's uncle, but others don't know. I'm afraid that I will make remarks that are not good for the emperor."

Yang Guang asked loudly again: "Who is willing to be in command?" But his gaze was fixed on Yang Lin.

Yang Lin thought to himself, it seems that I have to go.

Yang Lin had no choice but to bow his hands and vowed: "I am willing to go, and I will not disgrace my life."

Only then did Yang Guang show a smiling face, and even said two good words.

Yang Guang is so unpredictable and capricious, Yang Lin has roughly guessed who Yang Guang is at this moment, and his heart is relaxed, but there is still a sliver of luck, and he only blames those treacherous men for blinding his eyes.I only hope that Yang Guang will wake up as soon as possible, revive Chao Gang, and prosper his Great Sui Dynasty.

At this time, a eunuch walked in from the side door. This person's name was Liu An, and he was the chief eunuch next to Yang Guang.

Liu An bowed his head and leaned close to Yang Guang's ear and whispered something. Yang Guang raised his brows happily and laughed loudly: "Since you have already entered the palace gate, why don't you call them into the palace, I haven't seen this boy for several days, Even the fun is much less, presumably Prime Minister Yuwen also has this experience."

Yu Wenhua and his stature paused, since Yang Guang said so, he could guess who he was talking about with his fingers, and was clouded for a while.

Yang Lin secretly speculated, who could have Yang Guang's favor?Especially related to Yu Wenhua and the face of the old thief Yuwen is not good.

Liu An nodded with a flattering smile, and said in a thin voice: "It is Luo Shaobao's blessing to be remembered by the emperor."

"Okay, okay, let's pass it on to the palace." Yang Guang waved his hands in satisfaction.

"Chuan Yuwen Chengdu, Luo Cheng goes to the palace—"

Yang Lin was surprised when he heard this, could it be that Luo Cheng from Beiping Mansion?The unhappiness of being run over by Yu Wenhua just now dissipated a bit, and he also became curious about this Luo Cheng boy.

Speaking of the relationship between Yang Lin and Luo Cheng, it is actually just a few encounters, and the total may not exceed ten sentences.

At the beginning, brothers Wu Kui and Wu Liang were Yang Lin's cronies, and they were sent to Beiping Mansion to supervise the army. Every time they returned to Dengzhou, they would always complain a few words. Not to mention the officers and soldiers in the Duke's Mansion, even Wu Anfu, the only son of the Wu family, was ignored, and they were merciless in their actions.

Yang Lin thought at the time, you two are adults, and you are still fussing over ten-year-old children, are you ashamed?

Later, by chance, Yang Lin met the Luo family boy in the martial arts training ground in Beiping Mansion.

At that time, what he used was not his own spear, but a long stick.There is reality in the virtual, and there is virtual in the real, dialing the real and hitting the virtual, sounding east and west, moving forward and retreating, clean and neat, fast but not chaotic, the long stick is swung from side to side, up and down, making people dizzy. Lin was amazed.

At that time, the Luo family boy was thirteen years old.

Afterwards, Yang Lin inquired about the young man from the Luo family, but there was very little news, and the few letters all said that the child had a good character and was better than his father.

Looking at him, Yang Lin has adopted a total of thirteen adoptive sons in his life, no, twelve. Qin Qiong doesn't know how to repent and insists on being with the rebels, so let's not mention it.But the two he wanted to accept the most failed in the end.

One of them was Luo Cheng, the son of Luo Yi, King of Peking.It's a pity that he has a noble status and has a father and a mother, so Luo Yi politely refused this kind of kinship recognition.

The second is Yuwen Chengdu, the current Tianbao General.It's a pity that his father's character is really terrible. If he becomes a family with such traitors, Yang Lin will not be willing.

It's been three years since we left that day, and I don't know what that young man from the Luo family has grown into.

It was annoying to say, ever since he discussed with Luo Yi to accept Luo as his son and was rejected by him, old Luo Yi hid his son well in a petty way, thinking of ways to prevent them from seeing each other again.

Yang Lin thought to himself, Luo Yi, I want to see where you hid your son, didn't you let me see it?I actually saw it today.

While Yang Lin was thinking, he saw two people entering the hall, one on the left and one on the right.

One has a golden helmet and armor, is heroic and has a resolute face. He is Tianbao General Yuwen Chengdu, while the other is small, but his face is like a crown jade, his eyes are like stars, and he is wearing a white robe with a silver helmet and silver armor. , Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one can match it.

——That person is a young man from the Luo family in Beiping Prefecture.

"Chen Yuwen Chengdu (Luo Cheng) kowtowed to the emperor—"

Yang Guang stretched out his hand to signal to get up, and said with a smile: "Get up."

Yu Wencheng and Luo Cheng got up and separated on both sides.

"Luo Cheng, did your mother's concubine's birthday banquet go well?"

When asked by name, Luo Cheng couldn't shirk, and had to bend down to salute, but Yang Guang stopped him and said, "It's better to answer standing up."

Luo Chengzhen was impolite, and immediately stood up straight, talking eloquently: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion, Father, Queen, Mother, and Concubine asked my ministers to thank the Emperor."

"Hahaha..." Yang Guang laughed, "There is no need to thank you, I will be traveling far away in a few days, and you will accompany me."

"The minister obeys the order."

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, Yu Wencheng felt a little relieved, thinking about the scene when he left Chang'an, he was afraid that he would do something stupid again.

Yang Guang asked some more questions, and Luo Cheng answered them one by one.

Not long after, Yang Guang said: "Is there anything else you love? If you have nothing to do, you can retreat."

Just then Yu Huahua and his deep voice sounded: "Your Majesty, I just thought of one thing about Shandong thieves."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Luo Cheng thought, it's not a good thing to say anything out of your mouth.

Yu Wenhuaji said: "Your Majesty, the thieves gather a crowd to rebel, and we should kill one to warn others to imitate others. I think we can start with the family members of the thieves. Anyone who is involved with the thieves will implicate the nine clans, so as to strengthen my momentum and deter the rebels."

As soon as Yu Wenhua and his voice fell, Yang Lin frowned, thinking that this traitor was going to kill innocent people indiscriminately again, he originally wanted to ask for a rebuttal, but he remembered that the old thief Yuwen accused him of colluding with that thief just now, now he If Mao hastily objected, he would have to grasp the ground. Thinking about it, Yang Lin pursed his lips tightly and stopped talking.

Yang Lin didn't dare to speak, so naturally there were people who could speak.

Then I heard a Qingyue voice from the hall: "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Yuwen said may not only deter the rebels, but also make those rebels hate so much that they will rebel even more unscrupulously without any worries."

Yang Guang stroked his beard and thought for a while, but didn't speak.

Yu Wenhua is impatient, you kid is deliberately against me!After a month of happy days, you are here again!

But getting angry with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child seemed to be bullying the small, Yu Wenhua said patiently: "Is it possible to spare these rebels and their families? Then what makes me great Sui Guowei."

Luo Cheng blurted out: The national prestige is not manifested by the indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Only by sharing the hearts of the people can the national prestige be shaken.

Someone beside him grabbed his sleeve, making him unable to advance or retreat.

Luo Cheng looked sideways slightly, staring at the big hand with clear bones in embarrassment, but Yu Wencheng had no intention of letting go.

"Okay, I'll take it as soon as I get back, you two—" Yang Guang just thought it was a good show, and he was happy.

"Luo Cheng, you are still young, so it is inevitable that you have the benevolence of a woman. Yu Huahua should be considerate about this matter, so just do what Prime Minister Yuwen said." Yang Guang's light words have already settled the hearts of many people. life and death.

Seeing that the emperor did not take Luo Cheng's side this time, Yu Wenhuaji said triumphantly, "Your Majesty, I know that among the rebels in Shandong, Shan Xiongxin, the Erxian Zhuang of Shanxi, has many family members, and it is reported that he has not been transferred yet." , you can send Shanxi general guard Li Yuan to lead troops to copy and kill."

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, I'll be bothered by such a small matter."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Plop—" With a sound, since the robe was grabbed by the man, Luo Cheng simply knelt down on the spot, "Your Majesty—"

Yu Wencheng's complexion sank, and he could only let go slightly.

Seeing this, Yang Guang said: "Luo Cheng, didn't I say that the benevolence of a woman is not worth it. You are too soft-hearted, and you still have to temper yourself."

Luo Cheng bit his lips and said: "Your Majesty, I think it would be more effective to send people to imprison all his family members and force Shan Xiongxin and others to surrender."

Yang Guang was taken aback for a moment, thinking for a moment.

Luo Cheng saw that he seemed to be moving on purpose, so he added heat and said: "Your Majesty, why not surrender without a fight? Besides, if those rebels insist on going their own way and refuse to surrender, when the time comes It’s not too late to kill his family.”

"The veteran thinks what Luo Shaobao said is reasonable."

Luo Cheng tilted his head, saw the person standing on the far right, and was slightly taken aback, Yang Lin was also there!I didn't pay attention just now.

In fact, for Yang Lin, it has nothing to do with whether he kills the family members of the rebels or not. It's just that he let the traitor Xiangyu Wenhuaji put it together just now, and he feels upset. Since you don't make me feel comfortable, I don't want to Make you proud.

After thinking about it carefully, Yang Guang said: "Since the emperor agrees to do this, let's do what Luo Cheng said. If you can make those rebels surrender, you can win without sending troops."

Luo Cheng pursed his lips tightly and remained silent. His remarks were nothing more than an excuse. It is better to live than anything else. It is really impossible to delay the time and let the family members of the Shan family transfer as soon as possible. Killing, but there is no hope at all.

Before Yu Wenhuaji could speak, Yang Guang waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's call it a day, and leave the court without incident." Yu Wenhuaji had to give up resentfully.

When the dynasty was over and the officials left, Luo Cheng hurriedly stepped out of the hall, but was stopped by Yu Wencheng.

"Get out of the way, I'm in a hurry."

Yu Wencheng glanced at him and said: "The words you said in the court today are really to persuade the traitors to surrender?"

Luo Cheng was in a hurry to go back to edit the book and send it to Erxian Village and Wagang Village, so that they could prepare early, and he didn't have time to talk to him, so he just replied indiscriminately: "Of course, what else do you think? Of course it would be nice to save some people from dying. What's more, these people did not participate in the rebellion at all."

Yu Wencheng looked at him fixedly, almost as if he wanted to see through him.Although I heard him say that, but I don't know why, I still feel a little uneasy.

While he was thinking, Luo Cheng bypassed him and was about to leave in a hurry.

He heard someone calling from behind: "Boy of the Luo family, where are you going in such a hurry?"
