Chapter 279 Okay, this king takes the order
The pattern of the Northeast region, Yang Yue knows it well!
Now, in the holy decree, he is promoted to the protector of Anton, as the name suggests, to deter the Northeast and recover the lost territory in the Northeast!
However, Yang Yue had a little extreme doubt in his heart.
Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, one of the six main Imperial Protectorates before the Imperial Court, as the imperial power weakened, the territory decreased sharply, and only four Metropolitan Protectorates remained.
Among them, the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate was established in the northeast to manage Goguryeo's homeland after the imperial court and the Silla coalition army destroyed Goguryeo.
Decades ago, after the Tangluo War, coupled with the weakness of the imperial court, the Andong Protectorate moved from Pyongyang to Liaodong City, and became the military and political institution of the imperial court to manage Liaodong, Goguryeo, Balhae and other places.
But. In recent decades, the Lower Anton Protectorate has long existed in name only, out of the control of the imperial court, he recovered Jizhou, Pingzhou, Anton Protector sent a special envoy to worship.
Now, when the imperial court existed in the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, it promoted him to be the Protector of Anton, isn't this nonsense?
Yang Yue was displeased, Mu Qianjun, and Yuwen Heng were secretly excited in their hearts, what is the difference between the imperial court's promotion of Yang Yue as the protector of Andong and the expulsion of him from the Northeast Black Mountain Baishui.
Yang Yue led his troops to Liaodong City, or, to regain Liaodong City, settle in Liaodong, and return to the Great Wall, wishful thinking!
Li Xuanqi, Lin Kaiyue and other military generals looked angry, and they only felt that the court was bullying people too much.
Not long ago, they braved the severe cold to conquer Jizhou, Pingzhou, and Yougong Sheji, and the imperial court actually expelled everyone to Liaodong City!
This edict really chills everyone's heart.
Yang Yue was dissatisfied, and when he didn't accept the order for a long time, Li Xuanji next to him gently touched Yang Yue with his elbow and reminded in a low voice: "King Yan, hurry up and accept the order!"
Li Xuanji is very optimistic about Yang Yue inheriting the throne and recovering the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately, the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, and the court has no idea of reusing Yang Yue at all!
For a while, Yang Yue came back to his senses, held up his hands, and said loudly: "The son receives the order, long live the father, long live, long live!"
King Xiaoyao slowly handed over the holy decree to Yang Yue, Yang Yue put away the holy decree, and was anxious to get up to refute.
Suddenly, the King of Freedom continued to say aloud: "Liulang, there is no need to worry, there is a second holy decree."
Hearing this, Yang Yue was stunned for a moment, and was so annoyed that he knelt down on the ground, waiting for the King of Freedom to announce his decree.
King Xiaoyao cleared his throat and read out: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, Liulang Yang Yue, superb military attainments, belligerent, good at war, when Yang Yue was promoted to the protector of Andong, his fief in Youzhou was returned to the imperial court, and it was governed by Youzhou Thorn Shi Mu Qianjun.
However, in order to reward the great achievements of King Yan and assist the imperial court to guard the northeast, the homeland of Bohai Kingdom was given as the fief of King Yan.
King Yan is hereby granted military and political and financial powers, and he is here!"
Hearing this, Yang Yue jumped like thunder, got up suddenly, glared at King Xiaoyao and asked, "Uncle Wang, is this holy decree the intention of the courtiers, or the intention of the father?"
"King Yan, are you going to rebel? Dare to disobey?" Mu Qianjun, who was kneeling on the ground, was worried that Yang Yue would be unfavorable to King Xiaoyao, so he hurriedly got up, protected him in front of King Xiaoyao, and reprimanded him loudly.
Yang Yue was furious and shouted: "Bullshit holy decree, the court is not rewarded for meritorious service, exile Lao Tzu, and let this king obey?"
Yang Yue knew the pattern of the Northeast, and the imperial court sealed him as the protector of Andong, which was already emptying his power and gradually expelling him from the Great Wall.
Now, the homeland of the Bohai Kingdom is rewarded to him, and he is specially given military and political power, which seems to give him great benefits, but in fact, after recovering the right to govern Youzhou, except for his army. has completely overthrown his powers.
The strength of the Bohai State is far from being strong as before, and it is still a hero!.
Hundreds of years ago, the Turks invaded the northern Yanzhou, Danzhou, Dingzhou, Zhaozhou and other places, and the Khitan and Xi were attached to the Turks, resulting in the Central Plains blocking the road to the northeast. The sages of Bohai Bay judged the situation and established political power in present-day Liaodong, calling themselves the Bohai Kingdom.
In order to consolidate the power of Zhenguo, he sent envoys to form an alliance with the Turks, and also communicated with Silla, skillfully mediating between the powerful neighbors. Therefore, in a few years, the power has developed rapidly.
Its territory is bordered by Silla in the south, Heishui in the north, Khitan and Turkic in the west, and its people include Goguryeo, Ya, Khitan, Xi, Turkic, Murwei and many other ethnic groups, managing more than 100,000 households and hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Now, hundreds of years have passed, and the power of the Balhai Kingdom has long ceased to be under the blows of the Khitan, Silla and Heishui Immortals.
In addition, the northeastern territory of the imperial court fell, and there were Khitan between the two sides, and the protectors and governors of various places were divided, and there was very little contact, and there were no soldiers.
Moreover, the Bohai army was so powerful that even the Khitan and Silla could not be swallowed, and when he was in Youzhou, even if he was once named the king of Bohai County, he did not compete with it.
Now, the imperial court has rewarded him with the homeland of the Bohai Kingdom, which is completely perfunctory and framing him.
Even the imperial court sent hundreds of thousands of troops to fight for decades, but it did not destroy the Bohai State, and now, let him lead his troops to the Bohai Sea, not only to exile him, but also to force him to a dead end, put him in danger, Yang Yue is not angry.
"Liulang, don't be impatient, no matter the emperor's will or the ministers' thoughts, the wood is already in the boat, do you want to resist the decree and disobey it?" King Xiaoyao's face was calm, as if he wanted Yang Yue to explain the reason.
At this time, Li Xuanqi stood up, came to Yang Yue's side, and said to King Xiaoyao: "Lord, regardless of His Royal Highness's efforts in defending the frontier in Youzhou for three years, recovering some of the lost territory in the north, and deterring the forces in the northeast, in just half a year, His Royal Highness personally led the troops to resist foreign enemies, won two great victories, and helped the imperial court to save the day!"
Now, Chang'an can't tolerate His Highness, and even Youzhou can't tolerate His Highness, is the imperial court so ungrateful?"
Li Xuanqi was blinded by two consecutive holy decrees, and only felt that the imperial court was unfair to Yang Yue.
However, King Xiaoyao couldn't help but not explain, but did not pay attention to Li Xuanqi, and said to Yang Yue with a smile: "Liulang, don't forget, the strength of the Bohai Kingdom is not what it used to be, and now it only controls Longquan City and six or seven small cities, and in addition, the King of Bohai has only one daughter, and there is no successor, and all the generals of the court have the heart to refute.
With your means, it is easy to lead the troops to destroy the Bohai State, once you control the Bohai State, the territory you own is far more than that of Youzhou ten times, a hundred times, and in addition, the imperial court has granted you three powers of military, political and financial affairs, and you will completely take the Bohai State as the foundation and exert your own revenge."
"Uncle Wang, my nephew is not a fool, are you really embarrassed to deceive your nephew like this?" Yang Yue looked angry and shouted: "That's right, the strength of the Bohai Kingdom is the sunset, the generals are troubled, and the imperial power is challenged, however, seventy percent of the troops of the Bohai Kingdom are controlled by the Tiger Roaring Mountain, the Tiger Roaring Mountain brothers, and the nephew leads the army to the Bohai Kingdom for thousands of miles, won't he fall into the net?"
"Yang Yue, seeing the holy decree is like seeing the emperor, this king is only responsible for conveying the holy decree, as for the rest, he is not responsible!" Sensing Yang Yue's tough attitude, the tone of King Xiaoyao also became stronger!
Hearing this, Yang Yue was furious, dodged the holy decree in the hands of the King of Ease, and viciously: "Okay, this king will accept the decree!"
