Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Last time, it was said that Yang Lin was defeated and left Wagang Village, but he was penniless when he entered the restaurant to eat. He was embarrassed, and the shopkeeper walked in——

"You—you are—" Yang Lin shook his hands and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

I saw the shopkeeper in an ordinary linen gown, with big eyes, a square mouth, and a white beard, with a kind face and compassion, full of energy, looking closely between his brows, with majesty.

The old shopkeeper stepped forward and said with a smile, "Brother, don't you recognize me?"

Yang Lin took a few steps back, his first reaction was not to recognize each other, but to cover his face with his hands, and repeatedly shouted: "I'm ashamed."

Who is this person?

It was Ding Yanping, a two-gun veteran who had made indelible contributions to Dingguo in the Sui Dynasty.

It is said that the founding of the Sui Dynasty had nine veterans who helped each other, commonly known as "the nine old men rejuvenated the Sui Dynasty", and Ding Yanping, who served as the governor of the Southern Chen Navy at that time, was also among them.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the Thirteenth Route Army attacked Nanchen for the third time. If he hadn't been persuaded by Yang Lin that Chen's empress was so fatuous, drunk, and saved the people from suffering, he would have offered Hanjiangkou to the Sui Dynasty. For a while, Nan Chenlai really couldn't be defeated.

Ding Yanping and Yang Lin have a deep friendship, and they even sworn brothers.It's just that Ding Yanping has clearly assumed the post of Marshal of Haizhou, so how could he appear here?

As soon as the two of them talked, Yang Lin knew in his heart that this old brother looked down on Yang Guang, so he took a chance and went into seclusion.

Is Yang Lin's eloquence good?That is beyond doubt.If he was not good at eloquence, he would not let Ding Yanping sacrifice Hanjiangkou with his three-inch tongue, and it is the same now.

Yang Lin was indignant after listening to Ding Yanping's account of Yang Guang's murder of his father and brother, and his incest and bullying of his sister.First, he scolded Yang Guang, and then he promised to give an explanation to Wu Jianzhang's family and Gao Ying and other loyal officials. The Sui Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji cannot be destroyed by Yang Guang... It's just that it is important to keep the Sui Dynasty first. , must be compared with it afterwards.

After talking like this, Ding Yanping felt better. When asked why Yang Lin appeared here, the latter couldn't help but tell the truth.

Anyway, the two are still sworn brothers, Ding Yanping promised that if one day he is needed, just ask, and Yang Lin will agree.

You ask Yang Lin if he dares to hold Yang Guang accountable?How dare he!

But right now there are more important things to do.This internal trouble is no match for external troubles.In particular, this gang of thieves has a very strong history, and all of them are brave. We can't let them become popular, it's better to strangle them as soon as possible.

When Yang Lin returned to Tongguan, when the Twelve Taibao saw his adoptive father's dejected appearance, he secretly rejoiced, fortunately I didn't go, your old man looks like this, I'm not as good as you, going to die is not for nothing ?But let's not talk about how to please Yang Lin one by one.

The news of Yang Lin's defeat and return arrived at Chang'an City at the same time as the handover from the Henan magistrate. For a while, everyone in Chang'an City was in danger, knowing that the emperor was in a bad mood, and no one in the court dared to speak rashly.

Above Yang Guangda's hall, they scolded and made noise: "How arrogant are the rebels, how dare they proclaim themselves kings!"

There was still no one in the hall to answer, Yang Guang felt that he was playing the piano to the cow, and he felt that he was a good general only when he was ready to use it.

Luo Cheng stood by his side, eager to try, thinking in his heart that if he volunteered to lead the soldiers from Youzhou to go out, Yang Guang's chances of winning would be high, and he would bring the Beiping Mansion to join the enemy. .

Just as he was thinking about going out to ask for an order, the eunuch's shrill voice sounded, asking for a visit from the king of the mountain, Yang Lin.

In the apse, Yang Lin asked everyone to retreat, and played something, even Luo Cheng was sent out.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yang Lin asked with a serious face about the murder of his father and brother, and the incest of his sister. Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and then he slapped the table in a rage, as if he had been wronged so much.

Yang Guang first talked about how he served the left and right sides when the late emperor was lingering on the sick bed. It was clear that the late emperor had taken a fancy to him before passing on the throne to him, as evidenced by the imperial edict.As for Wu Jianzhang, he was originally on the side of the abolished prince. After the crimes of the abolished prince were revealed and he hanged himself to death, Wu Jianzhang thought it was him.

Yang Guang was even more convincing. If the emperor didn't believe it, he could open the coffin for an autopsy to see if his father died of illness and whether his brother hanged himself.

Yang Lin saw him crying bitterly, with the expression of clearly being wronged, it was difficult to make a decision for a while, and he only said to wait until the rebels were defeated before doing anything.

Hearing what he said, Yang Guang felt relieved. If Yang Lin really asked to open the coffin for an autopsy immediately, then he would have no choice but to kill this brave uncle.

The uncle and nephew chatted for a while, and naturally they talked about the extermination of the rebels.

Yang Lin was also very angry, cloudy, and took the initiative to ask Ying to say: "Your Majesty, please issue an imperial decree for me to call the Dengzhou army to wipe out Wagang Village in one fell swoop."

By the way, Yang Lin also explained his strategy clearly. He was fully prepared for his trip this time. He will form a long snake formation and invite the old general Ding Yanping to lead the formation. He will surely wipe out Wa Gang everyone.

As soon as Yang Guang heard this, he immediately made an order.

Yang Guang also hosted a banquet for Yang Lin in the palace, and it goes without saying that singing and dancing will bring peace.

After drinking for three rounds, I saw a group of beauties drifting towards a girl in red. The girl was seven points pure, three points charming, weak and boneless, which made people's eyes shine.

Yu Wencheng followed Luo Cheng's unblinking gaze, and landed on the dazzling woman in the field, his brows were furrowed, feeling that it was an eyesore.I thought to myself that the woman is not very good looking, how could she get his blue eyes.

Not only Yu Wencheng could feel Luo Cheng's concentration, but even Yang Guang who was beside him could feel it. He secretly smiled in his heart, this kid's concentration is not that good, lo and behold, he won't turn his eyes when he sees a beautiful woman.

Luo Cheng really didn't want to turn around, the girl in the field wasn't Zhang Ziyan, who was it?

Since Zhang Ziyan entered the Department of Music Supervisor, she was promoted to the head of the team because of her proficiency in musical instruments and her beautiful dancing skills. Today, Yang Guang invited Yang Lin to a banquet, and she was the lead dancer of one of the dances.

Zhang Ziyan really doesn't attract much interest in Yang Guang. First, he has too many beauties in the harem. Second, she is not the one he likes. Seeing Luo Cheng's concentration, Yang Guang understood it, and he pretended to be smart. , isn't she just a little dancer, it's cheap to win Luo Cheng over.

So, before Luo Cheng could open his mouth, Zhang Ziyan was taken into the Peking Palace as she wished.

On the way back to the mansion, Yu Wencheng walked all the way to the Beiping Mansion, but before leaving, Luo Cheng turned his head and said, "Are you still going back?"

Yu Wencheng turned around to leave, Luo Cheng also went to push the door when he saw this, who would have thought to touch the door, and a voice sounded behind him: "Luo Cheng——"

Hey, what's wrong with this guy?Just now he didn't talk all the way, now it depends on the tendency of not leaving at the gate of his Beiping Mansion.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Luo Cheng simply turned around, folded his arms around his chest, and stood on the steps, barely able to meet his eyes.

Yu Wencheng struggled for a while, and said: "Luo Cheng, you are still young, there are some things that you don't need to rush."

With question marks all over his head, Luo Cheng asked, "For example?"

Yu Wencheng was speechless.

Luo Cheng waited and waited, but he still didn't see him saying, "Don't talk about falling down, I'm going in."

"Luo Cheng, you are still young, it is not good for your health to have sex too early or too often."

Luo Cheng's footsteps froze in place, the wind was messy, and his mind was filled with the phrase "It's not good to have sex too early or too often, it's not good for your body."

"Hey, I said Yuwencheng, you dirty ghost, where did you think—" When Luo Cheng came to his senses, he was ashamed and annoyed. He turned around and was about to question him, but only a small figure remained in his eyes up.After the man said that, he left in a hurry, walking like flying.

Luo Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, when he entered the mansion, Zhang Ziyan kowtowed to thank her again, Luo Cheng didn't hide it from her, told about the Shandong Uprising, and finally asked her if she would like to go to Wagang Village for a while.

How can Zhang Ziyan be unwilling in her heart, she and the Sui Dynasty, and the stupid lord Yang Guang have hatred for killing their father and family, even though they are a woman, they also know the truth, but because they have no ability to kill the stupid lord Yang Guang, Now, when he heard that the little benefactor of the Luo family had rebelled, he followed him. On that night, he followed Luo Cheng's cronies and went to Wagang Village first.

Just as Yan Lang came back, he sent Zhang Ziyan away. His father, mother, concubine, elder brother, Luo Yong, and Qin Yong were all not around. Looking at the empty Beiping Mansion, Luo Cheng suddenly felt a little lonely, and couldn't help but think of Yu Wencheng's expression when he spoke just now. , Thinking about it now, he seemed to be blushing at that time... Luo Cheng couldn't help chuckling, after experiencing some things, he basically classified Yu Wencheng as one of his own.

It was precisely because of this growing trust that it made him feel even more uncomfortable.Knowing how loyal Yu Wencheng is to Yang Guang, if things go on like this, there is only one dead end in front of him.

Luo Cheng wanted to save him, but he didn't know where to start. He wasn't sure if he could persuade Yu Wencheng to give up the Sui Dynasty and Yang Guang.And with his current appearance, he guessed that even if he said it, Yu Wencheng would not pay attention to him, maybe he would be tied up instead to prevent him from rebelling, just like preventing him from saving the little girl back then .

For some reason, Luo Cheng never thought that if Yu Wencheng knew about his participation in the Shandong Uprising, he would leak it to Yang Guang.

The reason is that he believed in him.

Let's talk about the other side, at Tang Guogong's mansion in Taiyuan, Shanxi, Li Yuan clasped his hands and forbearance in every possible way. On the other side, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Chai Shao frowned, and Li Yuanji wanted to kill Ma Shumou, the Kaihe chief.

Why?

It has to start with Sui Emperor Yang Guang's order to dig a canal within three months, run through the north and south, and go straight to Yangzhou to see Qionghua.

As soon as the imperial decree was issued, Yu Wenhuaji immediately accepted the decree.Digging a canal is a huge project, but it's a fat job, and it's not a problem to fill your own pockets or something.

So he immediately called Ma Shumou into the mansion, and after some suggestions, he said a few words in front of Yang Guang, and transferred Ma Shumou to be the manager of Kaihe.

At first, Ma Shumou was not happy either, foster father, you always arrange some work for me.

It was said before that encircling and suppressing Wu Yunzhao would make a great contribution and make him rise to the top, but Wu Yunzhao was not caught, and before Luo Cheng and his son beat him up, and returned to Chang'an City, the emperor also despised me as useless. After a while, he recommended me to dig canals, what a joke, I don't know anything about water conservancy.

But to Yu Wenhuaji, he didn't dare to say that.Besides, the adoptive father had promised him that there was something tricky here, so he was thinking about doing another vote?

So, I took the job happily.

No, the excavation reached the border of Shanxi, and encountered the Li family's construction of Jinyang Palace. Well, the conflict came.

Li Yuan undertook the imperial decree to complete the construction of Jinyang Palace within a time limit so that the emperor could visit here and settle down.Originally, this month was a trap set up by traitor Xiangyu Wenhuaji to get rid of his own family. If he couldn't complete the palace construction, it would be a rebellion, but in just one month, how could he make it in time.

The Li family used almost all their labor, planning to rush to work day and night to build Jinyang Palace.

But on the second day, only one-tenth of the strong men who had agreed to come to build Jinyang Palace came, so what happened?

It turned out that they were all arrested by Uncle Ma to dig the canal.

In Li Yuan's heart, he was anxious. Originally, this matter was made difficult by forcing others, but now, you have transferred everyone to me. Isn't this trying to force us to death?

The Li family hated Uncle Ma to the bottom of their hearts. They couldn't eat well, and couldn't sleep. They were worried and fearful every day, seeing that the deadline was approaching day by day.

And Yang Guang, who was far away in the imperial palace in Chang'an City, also invited Prime Minister Yu Wenhuaji with great interest, and asked about the excavation of the canal and the construction of Jinyang Palace. Go see it personally?
