Chapter 278: Rising Brightly and Descending Darkly.
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, it is only three days away from the end of the year
The goose feathers cover the earth, and the northern country is thousands of miles of fertile fields, all immersed in the white sea
Yang Yue, Yuwen Linxuan prepared for the New Year's goods, and the officials sent by the imperial court braved the bitter cold, trekked through mountains and rivers, brought a lot of money, grain and aged wine, and arrived in Youzhou without warning!
When the guards reported, Yang Yue called out the accident
At this time, he secretly planned a mutiny, and at first thought that the mutiny plan was exposed, and was noticed by the imperial court
After some thought, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief
Lin Kaiyue, Li Xuanqi is his cronies, and he will never betray him
In addition, he discussed the mutiny with Lin Kaiyue and other generals, but it was only more than two days, and no matter how fast the news spread, it could not be quickly transmitted back to Chang'an, and Chang'an sent envoys again!
Understanding the cause and effect of the incident, Yang Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and went to Youzhou Mansion to meet the envoy
Now, although I don't know the real purpose of the envoy's coming to Youzhou, whether it is to reward the three armies, no matter what the other party's intentions are, it cannot change his plan to forcefully carry out the mutiny
With Lin Kaiyue, Li Xuanqi and others, when they came to Youzhou Mansion, Mu Qianjun, Li Xuanji, and Yu Wenheng were in the living room early, gathered around the stove, and greeted the envoy Yang Mingxuan, the king of leisure
Seeing Yang Mingxuan's figure, Yang Yue couldn't help but muttered to himself, what does the court mean, how did the king of Xiaoyao send to Youzhou
He knows very well that King Xiaoyao rarely goes to court, but in the court, he has very great power, and he is instructed by the emperor to secretly control many powers!
Even the arrogant Yuwen Stone in the court, He Hengrui, was extremely deferential in front of King Xiaoyao
Now he led the troops to recover Jizhou, Pingzhou, a great victory, King Xiaoyao appeared in Youzhou without warning, and was named a guest, according to his guess, things are not as simple as rewarding the three armies!
The King of Ease, who was sitting upright, saw Yang Yue coming from the dust, he couldn't help but get up from his seat, hooked his hand to Yang Yue with a smile, and said, "Liulang, it's cold, come and sit!"
Looking at the approachable demeanor of the Easy King, Yang Yue patted the snowflakes on the fox fur, and sat directly on it without any etiquette
Slowly moved, walked to the center of the living room, clasped his fists and saluted: "Nephew Yang Yue, I have seen Uncle Huang!"
King Xiaoyao laughed, strode to the center of the living room, grabbed Yang Yue's palm and clenched it, and said, "Liulang, you and my uncle and nephew, you don't have to see the outside like this!"
However, Yang Yue smiled and said nothing, did not refuse the demeanor of thousands of people, and did not act affectionately, which made the enthusiastic King Xiaoyao look embarrassed in his heart
Yang Yue was in Chang'an, rarely moved around with the princes, and rarely contacted the princes of Chang'an when he came to Youzhou, even if he was an uncle and nephew with Prince Xiaoyao, their relationship was very dull
When King Xiaoyao noticed Yang Yue's actions and looked a little embarrassed, fortunately, Lin Kaiyue and Li Xuanqi stepped forward to salute King Xiaoyao to resolve his embarrassment!
King Xiaoyao let go of Yang Yue's arm, shifted his gaze to Lin Kaiyue and others, and said with a smile: "Generals, you don't have to be polite, you are all my Tang heroes, recover Jizhou, Pingzhou, capture the Khitan Zuoxian King, some enumerated moves, so that the emperor is very happy, and specially sent this king to Youzhou, reward the three armies, and spend the festival with the generals."
"The prince is properly deployed, and the last general will not dare to be greedy," Lin Kaiyue said calmly
Hearing the sound, King Xiaoyao glanced at Yang Yue, stretched out his hand to signal Lin Kaiyue and other generals to sit down, turned back to the main seat, and said loudly: "The northern tribe has always been one of the hidden dangers of the imperial court
This time, the king came from Chang'an, not only brought a reward of gold and silver, but also brought a lot of grain and grass The imperial court has high hopes for the generals, looking forward to the army stationed in Youzhou, when the food is sufficient, in the spring of the next year, under the leadership of the king of Yan, continue to go deep into the grassland, and make contributions to the court."
"Uncle Huang, expelling the border and recovering the lost territory is the responsibility of our army's sons" Yang Yue turned his head and said to the king of Xiaoyao
After saying that, I couldn't help but secretly think that King Xiaoyao stayed in Youzhou and spent the festival with the soldiers, which would inevitably disrupt his mutiny plan
Now, I took the initiative to get close to Lin Kaiyue and others, and things are extraordinary!
Fortunately, in the words of King Xiaoyao, there seems to be no sign of retracting his military power or threatening his position in Youzhou
The calmer the situation, the more worried Yang Yue became, for fear that King Xiaoyao would cover up his unpreparedness and pose a threat to him
"Lord Wang, it's better to come here with grain and grass" Mu Qianjun turned his head to look at King Xiaoyao, and said loudly: "The situation in the Northeast is complicated, and it is very easy to calm down
Although the king of Yan hit the tribe of the Khitan Zuoxian King hard, it also caused Khitan hostility, which completely deteriorated the relationship between the two sides.
While talking, Mu Qianjun looked up at Yang Yue, and his expression was full of provocation
Mu Qianjun believes that King Xiaoyao's visit to Youzhou is not as simple as rewarding the three armies, and most of it is closely related to his continuous letters to the imperial court
Although Youzhou is Yang Yue's fiefdom, as long as King Xiaoyao stays, Yang Yue must be cautious everywhere, and in addition, he and Yuwen Heng control heavy troops, Yang Yue can't make too many waves in Youzhou
However, when King Xiaoyao heard this, he smiled and waved his hand, looking harmless to people and animals, and said: "General Mu, you can't say that, Liulang recovered Jizhou, Pingzhou, and captured King Zuoxian, which is a meritorious achievement, and in addition, Liulang's military talent, he sits in Youzhou, and it is very appropriate to deal with all forces in the Northeast."
Moreover, the imperial court has important arrangements for King Yan, and General Mu can never deny King Yan's merits in Youzhou."
As he spoke, King Xiaoyao got up from his seat, took out the holy decree from his sleeve, slowly unfolded the scroll, stood quietly in front of the main seat, looked at Yang Yue with a dead face, and said loudly: "Yang Yue takes the decree"
Hearing the sound, Yang Yue hurriedly got up, moved to the center of the living room, bowed, and said loudly: "Erchen listens to the order"
Next to him, Mu Qianjun, Yu Wenheng, Li Xuanji, Lin Kaiyue and other generals, as well as Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, Xiao Yun and other strategists, got up one after another and walked behind Yang Yue to bow down
King Xiaoyao held the holy decree and read aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Yang Yue, the king of Yan, led the right military guard under the military tent, the flying cavalry army, recovered Jizhou, Pingzhou, captured the Khitan Zuoxian King Alta, the battle was meritorious, I was very heartfelt, Yang Yue was specially promoted to be the protector of Anton, rewarded with 100 taels of gold, and the three armies under the account of the civil ministers and military generals, all of whom were rewarded, and Qin this"
After Wang Lang read the holy decree, Yang Yue's face looked very strange, angry, humiliated, and angry, like an angry lion, and there were signs of outburst at any time
Through the content of the holy decree, it is more and more difficult to guess what the emperor's intentions are, why did he promote him to the position of protector of Anton?
