The End of the Sui Dynasty

As soon as Yang Guang fell, the original plan of counterattacking the grassland was immediately shelved, and the ministers in charge of the political ranks of the court and the officials of the six ministries accompanying him, as well as the commanders of the army who had just arrived with their troops, had to discuss urgently.

The Daxiong Hall of Feiyun Temple became the meeting place of the ministers at this time.

Although Yang Lai, the king of Liao, was sad on his face, he actually became the happiest person at this time.

He didn't expect that the prince had just been taken captive, and he hadn't had time to be happy. Here the emperor Lao Tzu fell down again, although he was only paralyzed by a stroke, but it already made Yang Lai feel that God was taking care of him.

At present, in Yanmen City, the crown prince is missing, the emperor is paralyzed by a stroke, and he has suddenly become a hot figure from an idle prince who no one looked at in the past. If Emperor Lao Tzu can't survive this level anymore and dies, then he will be the first person in the Great Sui world.

When facing the right side, Shangshu left servant shot Su Wei is now the highest-ranking minister on the face of the Ming, he got up and said, "Before Your Majesty had a stroke, he had already reviewed the three armies at the head of the city and swore to go to the grassland. Now His Majesty is unwell and can no longer lead a cart to attack the Turks. Now that the 500,000 troops outside Yanmen City have gathered, how should we decide whether to continue to attack the Turks according to His Majesty's will and rescue the crown prince and queen mother? Su Wei's words came out, and it took a long time, but no one responded. For most of the ministers in the main hall at the moment, now that the emperor has fallen, the first thing they have to consider is not to fight the Turks, but in case the emperor fails, who will sit on the dragon chair of the Great Sui. And they,

And how to ensure that after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, their status will not be reduced.

Yang Lai was the first to sit still. Now that the emperor has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed, he is already equivalent to the first heir to the throne. He didn't want the army to invade the grassland again, but he rescued an eight-year-old prince brother whom he had cursed thousands of times and became his master. Sitting there, he secretly glanced at Yu Shiji.

The internal history of Yu Shiji is the head of the three provincial history provinces, as a vice minister and one of the ministers in charge of the government, and he is also a close minister of the emperor, and his speech at this time is also very status. Yu Shiji had already chosen to stand on Yang Han's side when Yang Zhao, the prince of Wude, had just died. It's just that I didn't expect Yang Lai to lose the emperor's favor, but fortunately, the relationship between him and Yang Han has always been secret, and few people know about it. Now that the emperor has suffered a stroke and the crown prince is missing, Yu Shiji has nothing to hesitate about.

got up at the moment and said, "Su Xiang, this time, that time." At that time, His Majesty was still in good health, but now His Majesty has suffered a stroke. At present, 500,000 troops are gathered in Yanmen, and this official thinks that he should immediately return to Luoyang, Kyoto, by His Majesty. The Kyoto Imperial Palace not only has many imperial doctors, but also all kinds of precious medicinal materials, and as a courtier, it is necessary to do his best to heal His Majesty. At such times, there should be a temporary cessation of fighting. Yang Yichen, the general of the Right Xiaowei, said, "For example, all over the country today, the rebels in Liaodong are storming Hebei, and the Wagang Army of Henan rebels has also taken the opportunity to recruit troops when His Majesty is going north. Not long ago, they had defeated the officers and soldiers of Qu Tutong, the general of the Left Houwei, and captured Luokoucang in Xingyang Gong County. Now the rebels in Henan have been recruited by Navagang to surrender the alliance. The Wagang rebels are now very powerful, with many soldiers and generals, with 150,000 soldiers and horses. It is only a day away from Luoyang. The official thought that at this time, His Majesty should first enter Chang'an, Xijing, and then return to Luoyang, the eastern capital, after exterminating the rebels in Wagang, Henan. ”

Yu Shiji said that he wanted to return to Luoyang, but Yang Yichen said that he wanted to return to Chang'an. Yu Shiji and Liao Wang and other humanities are in Luoyang, and some of their vassal forces are mostly in Henan. Among them, most of the Beijing officials' homes are also in Luoyang, and everyone feels that they should go to Luoyang.

But Yang Yichen's proposal to go to Chang'an was also supported by many people. Chang'an is the base of the Guanlong family group, and most of the Guanlong nobles are in Chang'an. Moreover, in the current situation, there are a group of rebels of more than 100,000 people in Wagang in the Central Plains and Henan, and Luoyang is already not very safe.

What's more, the Liaodong Army is storming Hebei, in case they attack Hebei, they will wave their troops straight to Henan. Therefore, the safest thing is to go to Chang'an, Chang'an is in Guanzhong, Mountain 11 is dangerous, and it is possible to advance and retreat. At this time, Chang'an stayed to guard Wensheng, Yang Yichen, the general of the right Xiaowei, and Yu Wenhua, the general of the left Yiwei, and other forces from Guanlong, all agreed to go to Chang'an, Guanzhong. …,

The two sides were in dispute for a while, and each had its own reason.

Li Yuan said at this time: "This official thinks that what Yu Xiang and Lord Yang said is reasonable. However, the first priority at present should be to heal His Majesty with all his might. Before His Majesty was surrounded by Yanmen, the king of the king of the Qin Dynasty edicted the king of the world to the king of Qin. But now the Central Plains is full of beacons, rebels are everywhere, and soldiers and horses from all over the country are rushing to Hedong, but the opposite will allow the rebels to take the opportunity to loot and burn everywhere, which is not the blessing of the people, but also the wish of His Majesty. The official proposed that famous doctors from all over the world should be immediately recruited to Taiyuan, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials should be recruited from all directions to be transported to Taiyuan. Then we will immediately escort Your Majesty south to Taiyuan and heal Your Majesty first. As for the army of the king of Qin, they returned to their original places, suppressed rebellions in various places, and guarded the places, so that the Central Plains was stable. When His Majesty's health improves, it is the best policy for His Majesty to decide whether to go to the Eastern Capital or the Western Capital. "Now all the ministers only want to go back to the Central Plains first, and no one thinks about attacking the Turks. Although Li Yuan's proposal is not completely agreed by everyone, it can be regarded as a neutral policy. Anyway, going south to Taiyuan is equivalent to no longer sending troops to the Turks, and Taiyuan is not too far from Chang'an and Luoyang, and is in the middle. When the time comes, I will arrive in Taiyuan first, and then decide to go to Chang'an and Luoyang.

After discussing some details, they decided to set off back to Taiyuan immediately. All the soldiers and horses escorted the emperor south, and when they arrived in Taiyuan, they would stay or return, and then make specific discussions.

Yang Guang was still in a coma on his side, but the ministers here had already changed Yang Guang's decision to attack the Turks. 500,000 soldiers of the Sui army immediately received an order from the city, led by the generals of various departments, to escort His Majesty the Emperor south to Taiyuan. The order of the court was changed overnight, and the officers and men of the army were still thinking about attacking the Turks in the early morning, and in the afternoon they had already begun to set out for the south.

Out of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Li Yuan immediately called several of his sons and nephews.

Standing in the room, Li Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and was silent for a long time.

"Erlang, what do you think of the current situation? ，…

Li Shimin pondered for a while, "Father, the current situation, if Your Majesty can wake up, it's fine, if Your Majesty can't wake up again, I'm afraid that the world will be in chaos." Today, the child saw that Yu Shiji and King Liao frequently looked at each other, and it seemed that they had stood together. Li Yuan sneered, "In today's situation, the world has already been chaotic. Liaodong Chen Po's army was already strong and strong, and he marched westward and stormed Hebei. The land of Hebei is not peaceful, although the imperial court has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Hebei, but the rebels in Hebei are as powerful. Although Zhang Chengjin, Sun Anzu, Gao Shida, and Dou Jiande are divided into several families, they have often united against officers and soldiers, with as many as 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"The rebels of Wagang, Henan Province are now even more victorious, breaking through the two counties of Dongjun and Xingyang, seizing the granary of Luokou, and the thieves are nearly 200,000 people. It is only a day's distance from the eastern capital of Luoyang, and the thief is unstoppable for a while, and even Qu Tutong, the general of the Left Waiting Guard, cannot resist. "The Jianghuai area is also in chaos now, and rebels are everywhere, just a few days ago, when Wang Shi ran out of Jianghuai soldiers and horses to go north to King Qin. All parts of the south of the Yangtze River have rebelled, and Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, Shen Faxing, Zuo Xiangcai, Zhu Cang, etc. have raised troops one after another. What is even more worrying is that these people raised troops in Jianghuai, but they are all under the banner of Nanchen, and at present, they have respected Chen Pojun, the father of Chen Pojun, who has been missing for a long time, Chen Shen, the former prince of Nanchen, as the son of Nanchen Tianzi, Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, Shen Faxing,

Zuo Xiangcai and Zhu Cang are marshals. Li Zitong is based on Hailing, Zuo Caixiang is in Huaibei, Du Fuweitun Liuhe, Zhu Cang lives in Jiangling, Chen Shen lives in the middle of Shen Faxing and other Jianghuai three generals, and rebuilds Jinling in Danyang, the former capital of Chen, and the capital is restored. ”

Li Shimin was shocked sè "Jianghuai actually fell most of it overnight, and Nanchen returned to the country?" Could it be that Chen Pojun had already arranged all this in secret? Chen Pojun is in the north, his father Chen Shen is in the south, this north and south are attacking, Your Majesty is now suffering from a stroke and can't wake up, do you want to change the son of heaven? When he said this, his heart was full of reluctance.

Li Yuan shook his head: "Jianghuai changed overnight, as far as I know, it seems that there is a force called Jiangnanhui planning from it, as for whether Chen Pojun is also involved, it is not known yet." However, a pseudo-edict has been issued over there, and Chen Pojun has been crowned as the crown prince of the puppet dynasty, Shangshu Province Shangshu Order, the Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses, and Liaodong Dao Daxingtai Shangshu Order. Saying that, Li Yuan also sighed, "The change in Jiangnan is only secondary, Erlang, you should also notice that at the time of today's discussion, the King of Liao has already united Yu Shiji and other Kyoto officials, and the momentum is compelling." However, the aristocratic families in Guanzhong have formed a faction, led by Yang Yichen, Wei Wensheng, Yu Wenhua and others. No matter which one it is, now they have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, and for example, the officials and ministers from all over the country today are all stupid and stupid, and they all stood there listening for a long time, and their faces were all surprised, and then they said, "Father, now that the ministers of the DPRK and China are divided into two factions, which side will our Li family stand on?" It is said that our Li family is also from Guanlong, so we should stand on the side of Chang'an. But now that the crown prince is missing, His Majesty is paralyzed and unconscious, but the King of Liao has faintly become the strongest faction, do we want to join the faction of the King of Liao? ”“。 production, the King of Liao is just a dou who can't be supported. Following him, sooner or later it will be a dead end, why should our Li family follow others, we have been running Hedong for a long time, and when there is chaos today, it is the time for us to become our own faction. Li Shimin snorted coldly.
