Chapter 473: Instructed by a Minister of Accompanying Driving by My Side
Chapter 473
After escorting the prisoners of war, they met up with Laizheng and others at Deyanmen, and then continued southward, heading straight for Taiyuan County.
Yang Guang seemed a little scared and did not dare to stay in Fenyang Palace in the north of Taiyuan County. Instead, he stayed in Jinyang Palace not far from Taiyuan City.
Before Yang Qian led his army to arrive, he attacked the Turkic army, killed hundreds of enemies, and captured more than 3,000 of them. The good news had already reached Jinyang Palace.
Finally, Yang Guang, who had been frightened in Yanmen for more than a month and felt extremely humiliated, felt better.
However, after just receiving the good news from Yang Qian, the news from the Turkic Royal Court made Yang Guang's face darken instantly.
"Where is the embroiderer?"
"Wei Chen is here."
"Go, check this matter for me, detain the merchants from Taiyuan County on this list, and subject them to strict interrogation.
I want to see which damn bastard dared to do such a thing, causing me to almost die at the hands of the Turks."
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Yu Shiji looked worriedly at Yang Guang, who had finally turned sunny.
After receiving the news from Princess Yicheng, it instantly turned into a volcano that seemed to be ready to erupt at any time.
"While I was patrolling the northern frontier, someone was doing salt and iron business with the Turkic tribes, and my whereabouts were revealed because of this."
"How dare these people do such a thing?" Yu Shiji couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Yang Guang smiled coldly, his eagle eyes flashing with murderous intent as he swept across all the civil and military ministers in the palace.
"Furthermore, the news heard by Detective Yicheng is that the merchants who trade salt and iron with the Turkic tribes are under the orders of a certain minister accompanying me."
"..." All the people present couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and looked at each other.
Minister accompanying the driver, doesn't that refer to one of their group of nobles and nobles?
"Your Majesty, I can swear to God that we will never be involved in such things and get involved with those merchants. Please be clear to your Majesty."
A group of nobles and dignitaries prostrated themselves at the foot of the steps and swore to Yang Guang, pointing to the sky and painting the earth.
Yang Guang stroked his thick beard and looked down at the courtiers with eagle eyes.
"I have my own embroidered clothes envoy to verify who it is. If it has nothing to do with you, I will naturally not accuse you of your family."
"If anyone is involved in this matter, if he quickly confesses his crime, I will consider it carefully. If it is verified by the Embroidered Clothes Envoy, then don't blame me for not showing any respect for the relationship between the monarch and his subjects..."
"..."
"What bastard dares to secretly collude with the Turks in the salt and iron trade during His Majesty's northern tour? Isn't this a slap in His Majesty's face?"
"That is, His Majesty has repeatedly stated that no merchants are allowed to trade with the Turks, but there are still people who are so bold."
"It is said that he is accompanying the minister. Gentlemen, if any of you are involved in this matter, it is best to come to His Majesty's palace as soon as possible and confess his crime."
"Don't implicate innocent people like us."
"that is……"
A group of nobles and nobles had been frightened in Yanmen for more than a month. When they heard the news, they were shocked, angry and frightened.
I was shocked and angry because I didn't expect that there would be such a bastard among his accomplices.
Naturally, what I was afraid of was that His Majesty had sent the embroiderers, just in case those guys whom I didn't even recognize as relatives were targeting me.
Even if he didn't do anything, as a noble nobleman of the Sui Dynasty, he might still have to shed a layer of skin.
After all, those bastards from the Embroidered Clothes Commission only listen to the emperor and don't care about powerful people like them at all.
Grumbling and complaining, stomping and swearing, no one is willing to admit that they have done such stupid things that can lead to death.
Soon, the embroidery envoys entered Taiyuan City and began to hunt down the merchants on the list.
The entire Taiyuan City was instantly in chaos, and Yang Ning, who was in the prefect's mansion, quickly received the news.
After hearing that the embroidery envoy was responsible, Yang Ning stepped forward to appease the people and officials.
Tell the people of Taiyuan County that those merchants were arrested because they violated His Majesty's Majesty the Sui Emperor's will.
During the period of hostility between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks, they also secretly did business with the Turks.
With the prefect of the county, who had an outstanding official reputation, to reassure him and clarify the facts, Taiyuan County quickly became peaceful.
It's just that inside the prison, which was used as a temporary interrogation place by the Embroidered Clothes Envoys, it could be described as a ghost crying and a howling wolf, with blood crying out.
In the hands of this group of ruthless and ruthless embroiderers, no merchant can hold up a stick of incense.
Everyone revealed the truth one after another. Some people were jealous of money and went into business quietly.
Some of them have the background of officials in the county or are relatives, and then do business with the Turks privately.
Of course, these are not the key points that the embroiderer is looking for.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the Embroidered Clothes Commander gloomily saw a note sent by his subordinate Embroidered Clothes Commander whose hand was still stained with a lot of blood.
His pupils shrank slightly in an instant, he raised his head and glanced at the person. After receiving a positive reply from the other person, he turned his eyes and handed the note in his hand to another person.
"Envoy, this... is actually..."
"So what if it's them? No matter who they are, if His Majesty has a decree, we must carry out the mission."
"Hurry to Yanmen County and arrest this person. Remember to keep him alive, and let him live to speak before His Majesty."
"promise!"

Yang Qian led his army to Taiyuan County and handed the prisoners of war to the Imperial Guards of the Sixteenth Guards beside the Emperor. Just as he was about to see His Majesty, he saw his father Yang Ning coming in a hurry after receiving the news.
"Are you saying that His Majesty has sent embroiderers to torture merchants who trade with the Turks?"
"Yes, your Majesty did not ask the Taiyuan County government to take action. Instead, he assigned the embroiderers to take action. I am afraid that this time, your Majesty is determined to kill people."
Yang Ning nodded and said with some palpitations.
Yang Qian took off his helmet with a look of anticipation on his face, handed it to Zhili beside him, and said expectantly.
"Okay, father, those two brothers, Yu Wenhuaji and Yuwen Zhiji, are not good things.
If His Majesty can really kill these two people, he might be able to change his own destiny."
"His own destiny, are you saying that His Majesty can't do it?" Yang Ning looked at his son who was making such nonsense with a confused look on his face.
"Hehe, it's nothing. I just think that among Yu Wenshu's three sons, except for Yuwen Shiji, these two are definitely ungrateful wolves."
"Even if Your Majesty really spares them this time, I'm afraid that instead of being grateful for your kindness, they will bite the Lord."
"Qian'er, do you think His Majesty can spare them?" Yang Ning looked at his son with disbelief and asked.
"Who can guess His Majesty's thoughts?" Yang Qian shook his head.
"However, His Majesty's behavior is always beyond everyone's expectations. Who knows if that will be the case this time."
"...That's true."
