Chapter 420: I Have Two Wishes

Huiyang City, Huangyang Road

Yang Yanye, the governor of Huangyang Dao, stood at the top of the city wall, holding his clairvoyant hand trembling uncontrollably. The beacon fire on the north shore stretched for dozens of miles, and thousands of troops and horses were stirring like a torrent. At this time, the rush in his heart was more violent than the collision on the battlefield. He did not expect that he would see the day when the left avant-garde would go to war against the rebels.

On the wrinkled face, a line of cloudy tears slowly flowed.

"No matter what Luo Yao's purpose is, what An's intentions are."

He put down his clairvoyance and muttered, "He fought the first battle of counterinsurgency...... It seemed that Yin Poshan's men and horses couldn't bear it, and as soon as the rebel camp on the north bank of the Yellow Cow River was broken, the defense line arranged by Li Yuanshan collapsed. Calculating the days, the imperial court counterinsurgency army should have set off. It's just that I don't know if Your Majesty is personally driving, as a minister, I can't serve the country, I can only worship Your Majesty here until I succeed! ”

Li Huaili, the county guard of Huiyang County, felt sour in his heart, and couldn't help but wipe his tears.

"Wait, wait, finally look forward to this day."

He choked up and couldn't speak anymore.

Yang Yanye wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and said after a while of silence: "If I can still piece together some grain and grass in Huiyang County, I will be willing to carry the burden to the battlefield to work on the battlefield." Hold a bowl of sake to salute the soldiers, and thank you for the people of Huangyang Road. It's a pity that now there is not a single grain of grain in the Xinkou warehouse. ”

"Your Excellency!"

Juncheng Lei Wu was still a little sober, he looked at the beacon fire on the north shore and said in a sad tone: "My lord is worried about the country and the people, and he cares about the people...... Xia Guan knew that he shouldn't say something at this time, but Xia Guan didn't vomit in his throat and was unhappy! Luo Yao used troops against the rebels because he felt that the time had come. I'm afraid that the next step is to attack our Huangyang Dao......"

"How could I not know?"

Yang Yanye smiled bitterly: "When Luo Yao wins a big victory, those who report to the court should have a copy of my ...... Your Majesty recited his great merits, and it is expected that I, the governor of Huangyang Dao, will also be able to complete my position. It's nothing more than saying that I'm afraid of war, that I'm colluding with the rebels and something like that, even if Your Majesty knows that it's impossible, in order to appease Luo Yao, he will make a decree to remove me from my official position. It's the best ending, and I can't say ......."

"But if Luo Yao is sincere in quelling the rebellion for the country, don't say that an official position will cost my life."

He stood up straight, his eyes fearless.

"If the rebellious ministers are in charge, the country will not ......"

Li Huaili was stopped by Yang Yanye before he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty is a rare Shengming monarch in the ages, and he will not let Xiaoxiao cause chaos. Now the Great Sui can't tolerate any more chaos, so His Majesty may be more partial, but as long as the matter in the northwest is over, when His Majesty has his hands freed, who dares to have any dirty thoughts? ”

"I hope so!"

Lei Wu sighed: "My lord has governed Huangyang Dao for so many years, who among the people doesn't think about your benefits?" I only hate, hating a good official like an adult can't last long, hating a thief like Luo Yao is more and more respectful. ”

"Do things upright, be a man. Yang is worthy of His Majesty, and he is worthy of Li Min...... I'm very old, I've done everything I should have done before, and I still care about my name? My only regret is that I can't meet His Majesty...... After Luo Yao's big victory, what is the most ruthless method, you actually know it, what's the point of worrying and being afraid? ”

"Adult ......"

Lei Wu's face was sad, and there was hatred in his eyes.

"Stain my innocence...... If he wanted to get Xinkoucang, he would make excuses that I had misappropriated the official grain, and then he noticed that in order to ensure that the grain and grass of the Great Sui did not fall into the hands of the rebels, Luo Yao had to lead the army to control Xinkoucang...... When such an excerpt is presented to His Majesty, even His Majesty will not be able to say anything more. His Majesty can't turn against Luo Yao because of this matter, because the southwest half of the wall is still inseparable from him. So, I've made up my mind about this black pot. ”

"Since your lord has guessed Luo Yao's trick, is there a way to crack it?"

Li Huaili's face changed.

"Where is there any way?"

Yang Yanye shook his head: "Now Huiyang City has been sealed like a stuffy jar, only people are allowed to come in and no one is allowed to go out. If I could do it, I wouldn't have to wait until now. ”

"Can you just sit back and wait? And be charged with a traitor, and even his family can't be saved?! ”

Lei Wu smashed his fist on the city wall, and blood immediately flowed out of his fist. Yang Yanye took out a handkerchief from his cuff and wrapped it for Lei Wu with his own hands: "Actually, there is a way, although it can't exonerate me, but it may make Your Majesty feel mercy in your heart, so I don't care about the sins of you and my family." Although Your Majesty can't see Huang Yangdao and can't see your heart and mine, there is nothing to hide from him...... It's just that the situation has reached this point, and His Majesty is also forced to do so. ”

"Luo Yao has no good thoughts, Your Majesty has compassion...... The two of you remember that no matter what happens, you must carry the errand of Huangyang Dao. The biggest difference between the Left Avant-garde and the rebels is that they will not wreak havoc on the people, which is what I feel most comfortable about. If the war in the northwest goes well, Luo Yao will dare to have any dissenting intentions before he sees it. But you two have to live, and only by living can you continue to do things for Your Majesty and correct my name! ”

"My lord, there will be a way after all!"

Li Huaili persuaded.

"No ......"

Yang Yanye smiled and said: "There is only one way, you and I know it." If I die, Luo Yao will not be able to entangle anything more, and Your Majesty will have a reason not to punish you for your sins. If I don't die, Luo Yao is pressing forward step by step, Your Majesty in order to appease him, my reputation is ruined, and it will be an unforgivable crime to affect you and my family...... If I die, there's no point in him trying to plant anything disgusting on me. All he wants is Xinkoucang, and I just want to keep you and my family at this time. ”

"Take my words to heart and be a good officer."

He smiled and glanced at Li Huaili and Lei Wu, and took a deep breath: "Although the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui are shattered, the smell is still so charming. There's not much I can take with me, it's just the breath of Da Sui. ”

"Take care of the family for me."

He said suddenly, and then without waiting for Lei Wu and Li Huaili to react, he ran forward two steps and jumped off the city wall!

Although Li Huaili and Lei Wu knew that the Governor had already had a will to die, they would have had to persuade him a few more words. But before he could say the words full of words, Yang Yanye used his own way to express his loyalty to the court and his struggle against the injustice of fate. The moment that body as thin as tea fell from the city wall, it was like a majestic mountain peak collapsing.

"Your Excellency!"

Li Huaili and Lei Wu were holding on to the city wall at the same time to look down, and with a bang, Yang Yanye's body fell heavily to the ground, and he saw a piece of blood slowly spreading out under him.

"All the way...... Let's go. ”

Li Huaili slowly knelt down, his forehead slamming against the cold and hard city wall.

……

……

Yang Yanye was right, and what he expected was right. Luo Yao originally planned to wait for the men and horses of Yin Poshan on the north bank to be destroyed, and then he would make a concession to the court. The excerpt has already been written, just waiting for the day to be sent out. If he wants to justifiably hold Xinkoucang in his hand, he must pull out Yang Yanye.

And after the emperor received the recital, even if he was angry in his heart, he would not reproach Luo Yao in any way. Huangyang Road is like a gate, and now it is Luo Yao who is guarding the door. Even if the emperor knew that Yang Yanye would never collude with the rebels and would never steal the grain from Xinkoucang, he would still issue an order to punish the crime.

This is the reality, the reality that seems impossible to change.

But Yang Yanye thought of a way, that is, to die by himself. If he dies, even if Luo Yao's performance goes up, His Majesty will no longer embarrass his family and the officials of Huangyang Dao when he is grateful for his loyalty. And if he died, Luo Yao wouldn't dare to have any more fierce words. He would be worried about forcing His Majesty to the point where he could no longer bear it, and it was not yet the point where Luo Yao could do whatever he wanted.

It is precisely because he sees this point very thoroughly that Yang Yanye will take a leap.

Before he died, he said, I have done everything I can before, and I still care about what my posthumous name is? How bitter he was when he said this, others felt it at most. If he doesn't die, his family will be implicated. Even if the emperor didn't kill him, he would send his entire family to work as a military slave somewhere on the frontier. How could he bear to watch his wife, son, and grandson being affected by himself? Thinking about the immature face of his grandson who can run, his heart is like a knife cut.

For those loved ones, for those subordinates.

Yang Yanye had to jump.

No one could see how calm his face was when he fell from the wall. No one knew that at the last moment, what he thought of was the bowl of braised lion's head. That day, when he brought the food back to the house, his grandson looked at the braised lion's head, which was already slightly cold, and clapped his little hands and said, Grandpa is so good, grandpa can do tricks and conjure delicious food for me. That red smiling face, that pure and clean smile...... Forever fixed in his heart.

Over the years, he has paid too much for Huangyang Dao. He complained to the emperor, why didn't he even come to the emperor when Huangyang Dao needed the emperor's wings to protect him the most? In the past two years, in order to ensure this land, how many times has he accompanied a smiling face to borrow grain from those big businessmen? How many times did you personally stand on the south bank of the Scalper River and command the people to resist the rebels who tried to plunder with rudimentary weapons?

The rushing water of the Ox River took away a touch of heroic soul.

No one could understand his determination to leap into the air. No one can understand that he abandoned the wisdom of life and death. It's worth it to exchange my life for a hundred years for my family.

The people on the city wall were all stunned, they rushed to the edge of the city wall and looked down, shouting for the lord, how many people hoped that they could use their shouts to pull the lord back? The county soldiers who are still sticking to Huiyang City, those county soldiers who are unwilling, can't understand why the adults do this, and because of this, they will be heartbroken and sad. Many people clenched their fists in grief and indignation, and how many cried blood.

I don't know how many tears slipped down the city walls, nourishing the layer of moss that recorded the merits.

I don't know how many sorrowful cries floated up to the sky, begging the merciless God to be kind to that heroic spirit.

In the short time after falling, Yang Yanye suddenly felt that there should be no regrets, right? After so many years of ups and downs, I have done too many things and have never been satisfied. I've always thought I could do more, more...... At this moment, I completely understood what I wanted...... Is that a pity?

Anything else?

Didn't you?

May my family be safe and healthy.

May I be a great Sui and live forever!
