Chapter 220: The Emperor Is Stupid

The Son of Heaven began to vent his anger and take revenge!

Wang Rengong, the vanguard general of the former army of Liao, had military merits in the two conquests of Goryeo, and was dismissed from office because his nephew Wang Zhongbo participated in the rebellion: the scribe Wang Xuan and Yu Xuan were the former ministers of the Great Cause when the Son of Heaven was the vassal king, and after Yang Guang became the emperor, he became a cronie again, and he sang poems and sang harmony with him from time to time, because he usually had a good relationship with Yang Xuangan, and was exiled to the border together, and the two were executed after fleeing: Si Nongqing Zhao Yuanshu poisoned Yang Xuangan's brother Yang Xuanzong, who absconded from Liaodong and returned to the south, before Yang Xuangan raised troops, and Yang Guang came to interrogate in person, Beheaded him and confiscated his family: Yang Hao, the king of Qin, was also deposed for the crime of communicating with the princes because Yang Xuangan had planned to make him king.

The treatment of the rebels is even bloodier!

The generals Li Zixiong, Pushan County Gong Li Mi, Yang Jishan, Wang Zhongbo, Wei Fusi and others were captured and taken to Gaoyang, except for Li Mi, who escaped halfway, and were all executed with the same heavy law as dealing with "rebellious people". The method is to tie the prisoners to the prison compartment, put a wheel around the prisoner's neck, first let the civil and military officials above the ninth rank lead the arrow with a bow, and then the ten thousand arrows pass through the body, and then the car is split into five horses, and finally the corpse is burned and the ashes are scattered, so that the bones are gone. As for Yang Xuangan, who is already dead, in addition to all his brothers being killed by Zhu Lian, his body was also displayed for three days after his death, and then he was chopped into meat sauce and burned.

While liquidating Yang Xuangan's party, Yang Guang also transferred two generals from the court, two generals with very good surnames. One is Tuwanxu surnamed Tuwan, and the other is Yujuluo surnamed Yu.

Although the two of them are not famous in the same column, they are both first-class fierce generals, basically the second generation of Shi Wansui.

In particular, Yu Juluo, who is eight feet long, has unparalleled arm strength, a majestic voice, and hundreds of steps.

often leads a few people to "run fast horses, shouting, all are invincible: out of the left and into the right, back and forth if flying"!

Both of them are brave and peerless characters, but both of them have a hard flaw, that is, they have a bad background. Tu Wanxu has been up and down for decades, and he has not followed a good boss, the general Yu Wenbao, the king of Han Yang Liang, and the Duke of Chu Yang Su, all of these bosses are Yang Guang's mortal enemies.

And Yujuluo is similar, because of his courage in battle, he has always been a general under Yang Su, the Duke of Chu. This time, Yang Xuan rebelled, and these two escaped this catastrophe because they were at the border. Yang Guang issued a holy decree and ordered the two to lead the army and rush to pacify Jianghuai Liu Shiyuan and others who dared to claim the emperor.

But as the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance. The people began to live in a world that was struggling because of the successive construction of the Eastern Capital, the construction of the Grand Canal, and the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, and because of Yang Guang's ferocious suppression of bandits, the whole world was a soldier, and the army all the way was conscripted everywhere.

Except for a small number of soldiers and horses who are elite government soldiers, most of the rest have been recruited from all over the country, and more often, these officers and soldiers who suppressed bandits have become bandits.

The weeds are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

Yang Guang's harsh strategy finally began to kick off the prelude to the great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

In Goyang City, Goyang County, in the emperor's temporary palace, the monarchs and ministers gathered together at this time.

"Nayan, if there is a crowd of thieves today, you have a good plan?"

Yang Guang wore a purple and gold crown and sat on the dragon seat. Since he came back from Liaodong, he has become more and more haggard, only more than 400,000 people, but his temples are already frosty white, and his whole face is even more pale and dark.

For example, today, the more ruthless he kills, but the more people rebel, as if the whole world is working against him. By this time, he had felt exhausted, and he no longer had the ambition he had at the beginning of his succession, and all that was left was an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

Nayan Su Wei, that was the real tumbler of the Great Sui Dynasty, when he was still the head of the hundred officials with high cheeks, he was already his assistant, as the left servant of Shangshu, and he was the prime minister. Successive emperors of Yang Guang and his son were dismissed several times, but this old boy finally returned to the position of prime minister.

But after being demoted to a civilian a few times, the old man is also smart. Since then, I have not dared to speak out, and I have to look forward to the will of the wind in case of trouble. Later, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he opposed the thief Yu culture and killed Emperor Yang, and took Su Wei as the Guanglu doctor. Defeated and defeated, Su Wei descended to Li Mi: Li Mi was defeated, and Su Wei returned to Wang Shichong. Shichong was called the emperor, and Su Wei was appointed as the Taishi. It can be said that this old man is the most undisciplined person, and belongs to the typical wall grass.

Hearing Yang Guang point to him by name, he stood there and squeaked for a long time, and he didn't know if his conscience suddenly found out, or if he felt that if the Sui Dynasty perished, his good days would come to an end.

For the first time, he didn't say any more clichés, but saluted Yang Guang seriously and said, "Your Majesty, if the thieves swarm today, your Majesty is needed to sit in the capital at this time." Whether it is to go south to the eastern capital or west to Chang'an, as long as His Majesty returns to the capital at noon, and then uses the strategy of suppressing and appeasing, the bandits will be pacified in the near future. ”,

"Now that the bandits in Hebei and Shandong are the most serious, Your Majesty can issue an order to exempt the two places from paying taxes on money and grain for three years, and then issue an order to open granaries in various places to relieve disasters, and decree that as long as the bandits from all over the country return to their hometowns to register and farm, the responsibility for the past crimes will no longer be investigated. Then, these bandits will inevitably collapse in one day. And... And

Yang Guang's eyes narrowed tightly, he just asked casually, and he didn't expect to say anything from this old man who only knew how to flatter and look at the wind. didn't expect that this old man would be unusual, talking two and three today. Looking at his stumbling appearance, he wanted to know what else he could say.

Su Wei bent over, his face was already red at this time, but his heart was full of regret.

Why didn't he hold back, he knew what kind of person Yang Guang was, and those who followed his crystal, and those who went against him would die.

Although he and Yu Wenshu, Pei Yun, Pei Shiju, and Yu Shiji, the four closest ministers to the emperor, are collectively known as the five nobles, he himself knows best that among the five people, he is just a marionette. Although he has the name of the prime minister, in fact, Emperor Yang Guang just sees that he does not object to anything, and blindly obeys the emperor's wishes.

"Why, don't you have a lot to say, why don't you say it halfway through?" Yang Guang's faint words revealed endless majesty, especially recently, after the ministers of the DPRK and China saw Yang Guang's punishment of his former colleagues who rebelled, everyone already had a deep fear of Yang Guang.

Su Wei knelt down on the hall in fright, and said tremblingly, "Moreover, as long as Your Majesty tells the world, you will stop the large-scale project from now on." And stop conquering Liao, no longer recruit soldiers to attack Goguryeo, then the people of the world will definitely praise it. After a few years of recuperation like this, then my Great Sui will inevitably enter the prosperous era of the reign of the first emperor again! ”

After listening to Su Wei's words, Yang Guang's face had completely darkened. Although Mo Wei's words were very reasonable, he also knew that if he did that, maybe the current chaos in the Great Sui would be resolved in a few years.

But in this way, it is tantamount to he, Yang Guang, admitting to everyone in the world that everything he has done since the great cause is wrong. If he is willing to accept such an outcome. The conceit had reached such an extent that he no longer believed in his mistakes. Even if he knows that he is wrong, he will be wrong to the end.

Looking at Su Wei who was lying in the hall, Yang Guang's pupils dilated. It seems that he has already become the prime minister of an echo worm, and it is not as simple as he thought. Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed, and Pei Yun, who had been paying attention to all this, couldn't help but smile at the corners of their mouths. They knew that every time the emperor squinted, it was a precursor to the emperor's wrath.

Su Wei is admonition, this is a high-powered position, although Pei Yun and Pei Shiju have always been close to Emperor Lou, their official positions are not high. At this time, they all had the idea of replacing Solvay. After all, if they sit in that position, they will be prime ministers.

An inner shì walked into the main hall and whispered a few words in the ear of the palace eunuch, and after listening to it, the eunuch of the apse immediately bowed his head to Yang Guangyi and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Huang Ying, the general secretary, has returned from Liaodong and is waiting outside the hall." As soon as he heard that Huang Ying, the messenger sent to Liaodong, was outside, Yang Guang suddenly threw Su Wei's matter aside, stood up and said, "Come in, hurry!" "I have lost contact with Liaodong for more than two months, and Yang Guang wants to know the situation in Liaodong too much.

For Chen Kefu, a young general who rises like a star, his heart is full of expectations. This young general, who he picked up with his own hand, was invincible and invincible, and I don't know if staying in Liaodong this time brought him good news again.

After the Tongshi Sheren declared the emperor's will in Liaodong, he only stayed for two days, and then hurried back to the Central Plains with several large carts of rare treasures sent by Chen Kefu and others. In addition to him rushing back, he also came with Chen Qing, the general under Chen Kefu's account.

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Huang Ying traveled all the way, in order to tell the emperor the victory report of Liaodong as soon as possible. He knew that with such good news, maybe he would be able to get a little light and get a reward or something.

"Tell me quickly, what is the situation in Liaodong now? Chen Kefu: Where is he now? Are you all right? "Your Majesty, great victory, great victory of the Heavenly Arrow!" Huang Ying's face was full of joy, and he said to Yang Guangguang movingly.

From the emperor to the hundred officials, they were all a little surprised by Huang Ying's loud victory. Chen Kefu just took 10,000 people to stay in Liaodong, where did this great victory come from? ,

"Where does the victory come from? But Chen Kefu took Liaodong City? Yang Guang also asked a little excitedly, in his opinion, when he withdrew his troops, Liaodong City had almost been defeated, and the defenders in the city were all consumed, if Chen Kefu took the opportunity to take it, it was also very possible.

"Your Majesty, you have not only taken Liaodong City! When the minister received His Majesty's order that day and rushed all the way to Liaodong, it was already the end of August. As soon as he arrived in Liaodong City, it happened that the commanders of Liaoguo returned to Liaodong City. 1 Xiaochen learned that General Chen not only took Liaodong City, but also fought several battles with the Goguryeo people within a month, winning several games in a row! Yang Guang couldn't sit still, got up and stood there and asked, "Tell me the details!" Huang Ying pointed to Chen Qing beside him and said, "Your Majesty, this is Chen Qing, the general under General Chen, and the heroic deeds of the Duke of Liao in Liaodong are not as suitable as being handed over to General Chen." ”

Yang Guang said happily, "Okay, give this warrior a cushion." ”

Chen Qing was the first time to enter the emperor's Jinjian Hall and face the emperor directly. My heart was also full of nervousness, and I stuttered a little when I opened my mouth. However, when it comes to their achievements in Liaodong, the more they talk about it, the more fluent they become, and even when it comes to the back, they can't help but stand up, pointing fingers, and waving and comparing. What Chen Kefu did in Liaodong was already thrilling and full of ups and downs, but at this time, in Chen Qing's mouth, it had become like a legendary story.

The celebrant in the palace glared at Chen Qing from time to time, signaling that he was rude in the palace. However, Chen Qing, who talked about the rise at this time, still remembered this, that is, the minister and emperor of the Manchu Dynasty, Yang Guang, was completely drunk with his narration, and he didn't care about rudeness or not.

At night, he seized Liaodong City, reorganized the people, led the snake out of the hole, closed the door and beat the dog, took the initiative to attack, ambushed Jinshan, and won a big victory, and successfully dàng more than 100 large and small Liaoren mountain cities on the first line of the Liao River. defeated more than 70,000 Liao soldiers and horses, captured more than 400,000 Liao soldiers and civilians, and millions of grains, grass and equipment.

Such a result was beyond everyone's expectations. It can even be said that it shocked everyone's jaws, especially Pei Yun and Pei Shiju, just like the big nose saw a ghost.

What was the situation when Chen Kefu stayed in Liaodong? It was only 10,000 cavalry and 400,000 craftsmen and craftsmen. But as a result, not only did they not wait for the news that Chen Kefu was defeated and died, but they also did not wait for the news that Chen Kefu was besieged in the city by the Liao army. On the contrary, it is incredible to wait for such a news.

But they absolutely believe that this kind of news is true, this is not only the news sent back by Chen Kefu, but also Huang Ying, the messenger who has just been sent back to Liaodong City. No one dares to lie, because it is a crime of deception.

After Chen Qing danced and talked for a long time, it took a long time to saliva, and finally explained the details of Liaodong for more than a month. However, there are also many places that are not said, such as the grain of more than 10 million stones accumulated in Liaodong City, all kinds of armor and equipment piled up in Liaodong City, and nearly 100,000 war horses. Chen Qing passed by these places very vaguely, only saying that a lot of seizures were made, more than one million.

The ministers and emperors of the court should understand it as more than a million, or a few million, of course, in fact, more than 10 million. And the war with the Khitan and Han Ju people did not say, but simply mentioned that when attacking Buyeo, the Khitan and Han Ju sent troops to help.

But even so, Yang Guang said in disbelief, "So, Chen Pojun stayed in Liaodong, not only took Liaodong and held the new city, but also defeated the Liao soldiers and horses on the entire Liaoshui line?" Hundreds of large and small mountain cities on the front line of the Liaohe River have been broken and taken? More than 400,000 Liao people on the front line of the Liao River have been captured? And even captured millions of money, food, and equipment? ”
