Chapter 523 He Yuanwen thought that everyone in the world was drunk, but he alone could not wake up
Chapter 523
Many civil and military officials in the Eastern Capital, including the soldiers and civilians of the Eastern Capital, received the news that Yu Wenhua and his brothers colluded with the Xiaoguo Army to rebel, forcing the emperor to commit suicide by taking poison.
He killed a group of royal family members accompanying him, and forced King Qin Yang Hao to proclaim himself emperor. Yu Wenhuaji was honored as the prime minister, and his younger brother was Zuopushe.
In the Eastern Capital, the court of the Sui Dynasty Zhengshuo also made a strong counterattack.
Taifu Qing Yuan Wendu, Wuwei General Huangfu Wuyi, Yousi Langzhong Lu Chu and others suggested it.
He recognized Yang Tong as the son of Yuande Prince Yang Zhao, and had the closest blood relationship with the royal family. They jointly supported him as the emperor, granted amnesty to the world, and changed his reign title to Huangtai.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was posthumously named Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his temple name was Shizu; Prince Yang Zhao of Yuande was posthumously named Emperor Xiaocheng, and his temple name was Shizong. His mother, Xiao Liu Liangdi, was honored as the Empress Dowager.
Duan Da was appointed as Nayan, General Youyiwei was acting as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Yuan Wendu was also appointed as Nayan, General Zuo Yiwei was acting as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Lu Chu was appointed as the Internal History Ling, and General Zuo Xiaowei was appointed.
Huangfu Wuyi was appointed Minister of War, General Youwuwei, Guo Wenyi was appointed Minister of Internal Affairs, and Zhao Changwen was appointed Minister of Huangmen.
The rest of the officials also received rewards. Even though it was the time of Yang Guangxin's funeral, these officials all had faces full of uncontrollable joy.
If it weren't for the court discussion at the moment, they would all want to congratulate each other. As for Duan Da, he was the most proud.
As Nayan, General Youyiwei, acting Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and holding a heavy army, he can be regarded as the first person in this court.
At this moment, Duan Da, who seemed very high-spirited, saw that Yuan Wendu's face was not very happy, so he couldn't help walking over.
"Yuan Nayan, why are you so frowning? Could it be that you are not satisfied with His Majesty's reward?"
"How can Yuan be dissatisfied? But if you do this, where will you place Yang Liushou, who holds a heavy army and is guarding Luokou Cangcheng?"
As soon as these words were said, a cruel fact that these ministers and ministers had deliberately ignored before was placed in front of all ministers and ministers.
#####
For a moment, there was a dead silence in the main hall, and a group of people looked at each other. Yes, Yang Qian and Yang Zijing, who were stationed in the east capital of Luokou Cangcheng, were left behind.
This is definitely a powerful heavyweight that cannot be bypassed.
Duan Da looked a little ugly, but he still raised his neck and said, "What can he do? Since he is a minister of the Sui Dynasty, he should obey the orders of the court."
"He has no merit in supporting him, so why should we ask your majesty to reward him generously? When the Eastern Capital is in danger, he supports his troops and respects himself and does not punish him. It is considered a good thing.
Now, if we give him a deposed ambassador from the twelve counties of Henan Province, what else can we do?"
Zhao Changwen, the assistant minister of Huangmen, walked over and smiled in agreement.
"What Duan Nayan said is true. He, Yang Qian, only had the power he has now because he was the late emperor's favorite."
"Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, it is a good time to issue an edict to the world and order all ministers to come to court. It is just the right time to send people to Luokou City and order Yang Qian to come to the Eastern Capital to have an audience."
"In addition, although he is in charge of a powerful army, he does not pay attention to the danger of the Eastern Capital. This is really suspected of dereliction of duty and laziness. Therefore, people should be sent to him to dilute his military power."
"What if he doesn't want to?" Yuan Wendu sighed helplessly, always feeling that the guys around him seemed to have a kind of mysterious self-confidence.
It was as if they would wave their hands and the one hundred thousand elite troops under Yang Qian's command would bow to them.
This kind of thing really makes people feel helpless.
"Everyone, please be cautious. Yang Qian's attitude towards Dongdu is unclear. Yuan is really worried that if things don't work out, Yang Qian will be offended..."
"So what if I pissed him off?" Duan Da laughed. "Can he still call himself a royal clan member and establish himself as emperor?"
As soon as this statement came out, all the officials who agreed with him smiled crookedly.
Duan Da walked out of the queue and saluted the new emperor Yang Tong. "Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an edict, ordering Yang Qian to go to the Eastern Capital alone to have an audience. Furthermore, order him to hand over some of his troops and horses to defend the Eastern Capital.
"
Yang Tong looked at Duan Da in confusion, and almost couldn't help but want to reach out and pick out his ears.
"Duan Qing, Gu... I don't think it's possible, right?"
"Your Majesty, doesn't he Yang Qian always consider himself to be my great minister in the Sui Dynasty? At this time of crisis, if he can set an example, he can bring the world back to its heart."
"If he dares to violate the Holy Will, then how can the arrogant and powerful generals under his command tolerate such a rebellious minister like him?"
"...Well, Yuanqing's family, what do you think?" Yang Tong always felt that Duan Da's proposal was unreliable and looked at Yuan Wendu.
Yuan Wendu saw Duan Da's gaze and bowed helplessly to Yang Tong. "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter can only be slowed down and cannot be rushed."
"If we don't hurry, Thief Li will break into Dongdu." Duan Da couldn't help but shouted loudly.
"That is much better than forcing an important minister to rebel against you." Yuan Wendu became extremely angry and shouted back.
Next, the six bosses who were responsible for confidential matters started arguing on the spot. To Yuan Wendu's helplessness, Huangfu Wuyi was the only one on his side.
The other three people stood on Duan Da's side and approved of his method.
"If Yang Qian refuses to obey and something big happens, how can you have the dignity to go see the late emperor?"
In the end, Yuan Wendu shook his head helplessly and walked out angrily.
"This, this is simply a bastard. What did Yuan Wendu mean by this, and where does he put today's world?!"
"That is, Yuan Wendu thinks that everyone in the world is drunk and only he can't wake up?"
In the end, Yang Tong could only agree to the request of the ministers and workers in the court and issued an edict. He also ordered General Liu Changgong of Youyiwei as an envoy to rush to Luokou Cangcheng to deliver the edict.
Holding the edict, Yang Tong felt as if he was holding out an extremely sharp dagger.
Maybe, I might get cut...
Yang Tong looked at Youyiwei General Liu Changgong with some hesitation and said.
"I also ask Liu Qing to go to Deluokou Cangcheng and speak more sincerely to let Yang Qing know that the country is in danger..."
Liu Changgong, who previously led 25,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Li Mi, was completely wiped out. He only escaped with his own life and fled back to the eastern capital with high spirits.
"Although Your Majesty is considerate, I am not an unintelligent person. I will certainly be able to persuade people with good words and convince others with reason."
"If you can do this, I will feel more at ease. I will wait here for your safe return."
Duan Da on the side stroked his thick beard and laughed. "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. This matter will be taken as a matter of course."
After the court meeting ended, Duan Da and Liu Changgong came out of the hall together and solemnly explained.
"Then if Yang Qian doesn't want to, you can secretly communicate with those Jiangdu Army generals. By the way, you must go find him and rectify him."
"General Liu is here to protect his son and be loyal to the country. His son is here to improve his character and be like his father. As long as General Liu can show his righteousness..."
Following Duan Da's secret instructions, Liu Changgong nodded repeatedly and praised him for his kindness.
"Nayan has great advice, please rest assured Nayan, I will definitely act in accordance with Nayan's policy before I leave."
"Okay, when you make a contribution and pay back, maybe by then, your name, Liu Changgong, will also be in the position of general."
