Chapter 462 One by one goes to the dark
When he was young, Yang Mingkun raised his head and stared at Chang Fengchun, Long Yan gradually hung a faint smile, stared at Chang Fengchun, and asked coldly: "King Yan really thinks about me?"
Lookers-on see most of the game.
Although it is said that Chang Fengchun is from Dandong and works for King Yan, he is close to Yang Yue and knows the other party's daily words and deeds.
Chang Fengchun heard the sound, and his heart was secretly nervous, he knew that the emperor was interested in his topic, and it was possible to send troops to contain Silla.
He did not hesitate to report: "Your Majesty, when King Yan led his troops to conquer Pinglu and the Lerao region, there was still General Yan on the eastern front, and General Zhang led the troops to garrison, and released Silla and Xi people, and Silla Xiu wanted to take advantage of King Yan's conquest to fall into the ground. However, the prince spent heavy troops to contain Silla, but secretly ordered the last general to return to Chang'an at the risk of death to persuade the imperial court to send troops, which was indeed conducive to the development of King Yan in Dandong, and it was also beneficial to the imperial court to plunder money and grain.
At the same time, King Yan also reminded the last general that if the ministers of the court objected, there was no need to forcibly suggest that the emperor send troops, and he would recover Pinglu, be Rao, and lead the troops to Silla, and the military exploits established in the future would still belong to the imperial court."
Hearing this, Yang Mingkunxi's thoughts were a little excited, he rarely got close to King Yan, and he never had a long talk with King Yan to understand the other party's thoughts.
After a moment of silence, Yang Mingkun said sharply: "Chang Fengchun, if you dare to deceive me, even if you return to Dandong, I will take your dog's life."
"Your Majesty, if the last general has half a sentence that is untrue, he will be thundered by the sky." Long Yan was furious, Chang Fengchun did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, swearing to prove his innocence.
At this time, Yang Mingkun asked angrily: "Since King Yan is thinking about me, why did he secretly poison me, why did he lead his troops to Dandong, and after quelling the rebellion of the Yuwen family, he refused to hand over the military power, on the contrary, in the northeast, there are signs of secession as king."
This question is that Yang Mingkun has wanted to ask Yang Yue for a long time, but he has no chance to ask at all, at this time, in front of Yang Yue's generals, he finally asked about his long-hidden secrets and one of the reasons for his dissatisfaction with Yang Yue.
King Yan poisoned the emperor?
I am often surprised and surprised in spring.
He has followed Yang Yue for a long time, and he doesn't dare to say that he knows Yang Yue very well and understands what he is.
This kind of despicable practice, King Yan will never do it, if he knows what others do, he will definitely be his enemy.
Sensing that the emperor looked at him coldly, he was flustered in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, King Yan is doing things above board, and the last general is willing to take his life as a guarantee, King Yan will never do anything to hurt the emperor, as for why King Yan refused to hand over the military power after quelling the rebellion, on the contrary, leading the troops to Dandong, all because the prince had no choice but to suffer."
"What kind of hardship can he have, I'm afraid that he will be a thief?" Yang Mingkun asked.
These two things made Yang Mingkun completely disbelieve Yang Yue, and even took a nidal attitude towards Yang Yue, if it weren't for the situation, he would not have promoted Yang Yue to be the head of the Hebei Provincial March.
Chang Fengchun knelt on the ground, fine cold sweat gradually formed on his forehead, and explained: "Your Majesty, whether you are in the court or degraded outside, the prince is pure to the court and the emperor. Before the rebellion was suppressed, because of the great resistance encountered in the implementation of the reform in the imperial court, the prince could not bear to continue to decline in the imperial court, and there was nothing to do in the imperial court, so he had to go to Dandong and adopt the strategy of saving the country with a curve.
The prince once said to the ministers and generals that if the court is strong, he is strong in the northeast, and the court seems to be like a tiger with wings, if the court is in decline, he is strong in the northeast, there are unscrupulous people in the court, trying to subvert the royal family, and if there are tribes on the border to invade the border, he will be the last barrier of the court in the northeast, and all hidden dangers will be eradicated for the court."
"Is it so, King Yan is so great?" Yang Mingkun still doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe that Yang Yue is for himself and for the court, but when he heard Chang Fengchun's words, he couldn't help but be a little moved, if Yang Yue really thinks so, in recent years, what he has done will indeed make Yang Yue feel cold.
At this time, King Wu stood up and said categorically: "Father, the son can testify that Liulang does have the purpose of saving the country with a curve, which is no different from what Chang Zhonglang said, otherwise, with the strength controlled by Liulang, he only needs to occupy Pinglu, and he does not have to recover Lerao and offend the Turks, and he can be a free prince in the Northeast. However, he risked his life to push his troops to the border with the Khitan, and his purpose was only to contain the Turks and reduce the pressure on the imperial court."
Hearing this, Yang Mingkun bowed slightly, what Chang Fengchun said may be true, King Yan must have other ulterior secrets, but the military strategy and military purpose cannot be changed.
At this point, as an emperor, his heart is like a mirror.
This proves that Chang Fengchun did not lie and deceive himself nine times out of ten.
In an instant, Yang Mingkun's cold face gradually subsided, staring at Chang Fengchun and asking: "Chang Zhonglang, does King Yan have any thoughts of returning to Chang'an, and does he have the idea of re-implementing changes in the imperial court?"
"Your Majesty, this point is not clear to the last general, but the last general believes that as long as the court announces and continues to implement the reform, the prince will definitely return." Chang Fengchun knelt down and said, silent for a moment, and then said: "At present, the war in the Northeast is in full swing, and King Yan may not be able to leave."
Yang Mingkun waved his hand to signal Chang Fengchun to get up, stared sideways at King Wu, and asked, "Wulang, you are close to Liulang, but because you know Liulang's inner thoughts?"
King Wu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Father, the son wants to be the news of the court, how can the kings of the court dispute, the son has no heart to seize the heir, for fear of being implicated, only to be close to Liulang, as long as Liulang has the heart of a fist, he will definitely not let the court ministers kill the virtuous!"
Hearing this, Yang Mingkun raised his head and stared at King Wu and said, "You said that the kings took the heirs, and the ministers killed the virtuous, but did you mean the Zhongshu Order?"
"Father, the son doesn't dare to say it!" King Wu looked sincerely afraid and frightened, and expressed his fear!
"What, you don't dare to say?" Yang Mingkun got up suddenly, looked at King Wu with a surprised expression, and secretly became angry.
As the prince, King Wu has never done anything to harm the country, how can he be afraid of the courtiers, could it be that the other party is so rampant that even the prince has to look up to people.
Slammed on the stone table, stared at King Wu and said loudly: "Wulang, but it doesn't matter, I want to see who is rampant, even you are afraid of it."
King Wu was secretly happy in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, eldest brother, Zhongshu Ling, the officials of the six departments, this time this king is sorry for you.
His heart is like a mirror, if he admits that Zhongshu Ling and other officials are flying and domineering, it is difficult to attract the attention of the emperor, and he chooses to retreat as a strategy, which can make the emperor realize the seriousness of the problem.
At this moment, looking at the emperor's demeanor, it is obvious that he is already very angry, and he takes the opportunity to explain the situation, it will be a very heavy blow to the prince, to the Zhongshu Order, and to the arrogant officials of the six ministries.
"What the father said is true, according to the son's understanding, before the Yuwen family rebellion, Zhongshu Ling had secret dealings with Yuwenshi, how could the Yuwen family rebellion be eradicated, but Zhongshu Ling retreated, and he was in charge of the government, and now he and his eldest brother sent dissidents in the court to install cronies, if the father and the emperor look closely, you will find that the six departments are all princes and party officials, and almost all of them have too close contacts with Zhongshu Ling, and the sons think they have to be prevented." King Wu looked sincerely frightened, named his name, and did not hide his inner thoughts.
At this time, Yang Mingkun suddenly realized and said sharply: "It was my father's negligence, and this court should be rectified."
After a moment of silence, Yang Mingkun asked, "Gorou, who do you think is the most suitable person in the imperial court to lead the troops to Silla?"
"Father, there are very few good fighters in the imperial court, not to mention, commanding the sailors to fight, the sons thought that when Qilang led the troops to Hedong, only the left and right servants and the second brother could be taught, but the left and right servants needed to contain the Zhongshu Order, so it seems that the only suitable candidate is the second brother." King Wu expressed his inner thoughts.
"Jiro?" Yang Mingkun muttered, fell into silence, and when he was young, he instructed Gao Heng: "Gao Heng, summon the crown prince, the king of Qin, the king of Shu, the Zhongshu order, the left and right servants, and come to the imperial study to discuss things."
"Yes!" Gao Heng bowed his head, and immediately summoned the attendants not far away, and went out of the palace to convey the holy will.
Yang Mingkun glanced at King Wu, Chang Fengchun, and ordered: "King Wu, Chang Zhonglang, you go to the imperial study with me."
"Yes!" King Wu, often in spring.
In the Imperial Study.
Yang Mingkun sat upright on the dragon chair, sipping tea leisurely, King Wu, often bowed down to the side of the battle in spring.
About half a moment, the prince took the lead from the East Palace, and witnessed, King Wu, Chang Fengchun's figure was secretly surprised.
Why did King Wu suddenly appear in the imperial study.
He is next to the general, if he observes well. Judging from the armor he was wearing, the other party was clearly from the Flying Cavalry?
For a while, the prince looked strange and secretly pondered, King Wu and King Yan will appear in the imperial study, could it be that his father is ready to use King Yan, or that King Yan has achieved a great victory on the front line.
When the heart was in doubt, the King of Qin, the King of Shu, the Zhongshu Order, and the left and right servants appeared in the imperial study one after another. In an instant, the prince's expression became more and more surprised.
Not long ago, the courtiers had just discussed the matter of sending troops to Hedong, the main battle faction of the imperial court had the upper hand, and the king of Shu was ready to lead the troops to the expedition, why did the emperor temporarily convene the important ministers of the imperial court again.
The crown prince couldn't help but look at He Hengrui in surprise, and the other party also looked confused, obviously not knowing why the emperor suddenly summoned his ministers to the imperial study, let alone why King Wu and King Yan appeared in the imperial study.
At this time, he noticed that the king of Wu silently bowed to the king of Qin and the king of Shu, although it was undetectable, but it was difficult to escape his eyes.
Suddenly, the prince had a bad premonition, lest the kings be embarrassed, and perhaps he would have to calculate himself.
The kings and ministers saluted Yang Mingkun, each ranked in the court, Yang Mingkun was happy, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you suddenly summoned everyone to come and discuss only one thing. King Yan did not live up to the cultivation of this king, achieved an unprecedented victory in the northeast region, just captured the Bohai Sea a month ago, the current use of troops against Pinglu, is also a series of victories, the current front points to Yingzhou, the capture of Pinglu is just around the corner, next, the front will be directed at Le Rao, will be in the south of the Turkic, fiercely inserted a wedge.
Today, King Yan will send his troops back to Chang'an, because of one thing, and it is also a matter of all our deliberations.
King Yan led his troops to achieve a great victory in Pyeonglo, but Oriental Silla was ready to move, ready to take advantage of the time when King Yan focused on the East, at the request of the Yuwen family, wanted to invade the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, King Yan asked the court to send sailors, surprise attack the south of Silla, to solve the Pyonglo, Lerao war, and the two armies of the imperial court, annex Silla, plunder its population and wealth.
Do you think that Yan Wang's proposal is feasible?"
As soon as the emperor's words came out, it was like a boulder thrown into the water of Pinghu, causing an uproar in the imperial study.
As long as there are people with brains, they can get three messages from the emperor's words, one of them, the emperor and King Yan are not as detached from morality as they seem, and they do not get along with each other in old age.
Second, King Yan was not defeated by various forces in the Northeast, on the contrary, with his own means, he gradually became an important force in the Northeast and began to echo with the imperial court.
Third, the emperor gradually recovered his ambitions, otherwise, it would be impossible to discuss two major military movements in one day, and all of them were the initiative of the imperial court to send troops.
The emperor's attitude towards King Yan has changed dramatically, and in the imperial study, some people are happy and some are worried.
The crown prince, Zhongshu Ling's expression was gloomy, and his heart was surprised and panicked, they were most worried that the emperor had secretly instructed King Yan to do something, so they sent King Yan to the northeast.
In this way, the position of the East Palace will inevitably be threatened by King Yan.
The left and right servants were shocked in their hearts, and they were very pleased with King Yan's martial arts in the Northeast, especially the current emperor's attitude towards King Yan had changed dramatically, if King Yan could return to the court, it would sweep away the gloom of the court.
The King of Qin and the King of Shu had no waves, but they were secretly surprised, and they were similar to the prince, fearing that there would be an unknown secret between the emperor and the father and son of the Yan king.
The kings and ministers had their own thoughts, secretly guessing, when he was young, Zhongshu Ling He Hengrui took the lead in stepping forward, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has just decided to send troops to recover Hedong, and it is not appropriate to start a war with the enemy country at present, otherwise I am afraid that it will easily cause a full-scale war between the two countries, besides, Silla is not an idle person, if you go on an expedition to Silla, I am afraid that it will fall into the quagmire of war.
The most important thing is that the imperial court sent troops to Hedong, and the financial resources were already stretched, and there was no extra money and food at all to support the expedition to Silla, Weichen proposed, please think twice!"
The emperor's attitude towards King Yan changed dramatically, which made He Hengrui feel very worried, but the matter of the expedition to Silla was very involved, and whoever conquered Silla and won the military victory would make King Yan's prestige soar into the sky, and it would bring unnecessary troubles to the prince.
"Zhongshu Order, you don't need to worry about money and food, as long as the imperial court sends troops, Liulang will donate 100,000 taels of gold, and he will also give 100,000 gold to the imperial court every year in the future." King Wu stared sideways at He Hengrui and said bluntly: "One hundred thousand taels of gold, one million lines of silver, it should be enough for the imperial court to contain Silla, right?"
He Hengrui's attitude towards sending troops to Silla was no different from what he had expected, and at this moment, He Hengrui was talking about the issue of money and grain, in a vain attempt to influence the court's decision.
At this moment, King Wu deliberately explained that the problem of money and grain had been solved, and he wanted to see what other methods He Hengrui had to prevent the imperial court from sending sailors out of the East China Sea to contain Silla.
Hearing this, He Hengrui was taken aback, he didn't expect that the emperor had already discussed with King Yan, and the problem of money and food had been solved in advance.
For a while, He Hengrui realized the seriousness of the problem, and the emperor suddenly summoned everyone to come to the imperial study, which was by no means a plan, and it was possible that he had secretly discussed a good strategy with King Yan and King Wu, and summoned the kings and ministers, which was just a symbolic announcement.
It was not appropriate for him to prevent the emperor from sending troops to fight Silla, which might destroy the emperor's Yaxing.
However, the wood has been completed, and there is only one way to go to the dark, He Hengrui moved out of the ranks, and still said categorically: "Your Majesty, sending troops to Silla is a major event of the imperial court, and it must not be decided by two or three people in the imperial court.
