"I am guilty, and I respectfully await the Holy Judgment!"
Upon hearing the emperor's angry words, everyone in the palace hurriedly paused their heads on the ground and replied.
After Gao Yang heard this, he went down to the palace, grabbed a few people and beat them with fists. After venting his anger, he returned to the palace and sighed with melancholy: "I want to kill thieves, but I won't be allowed to do so."
I have no choice but to use the enemy's time to support the invaders in Guanxi. Is this a plan for self-improvement? The former has caused mediocrity to mislead me, so that the army can no longer continue, so I have to endure it for the time being. When my situation improves, I will personally attack it!"
After hearing this, several people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the emperor's tone was still very fierce, since he said this, it also meant that he was willing to accept the reality and would not continue to invest personnel and materials to maintain the war in the short term.
Because of the arrival of several people, Gao Yang Shangke's mood became extremely bad. After the matter was tentatively concluded, he waved everyone away to discuss a plan before coming back, leaving Yang Min alone.
"His Majesty……"
When everyone left, Yang Min was about to speak, but the wind suddenly rose in front of him. He was kicked by Gao Yang for more than ten feet. Before he could struggle to get up, Gao Yang stepped forward and trampled him to the ground. At the same time, the emperor's angry roar rang in his ears.
Voice.
"Bitch thief, why am I entrusting you with state affairs just to make you a mouthpiece and a slave to others? He has his own responsibility for the war in Heluo. It is illegal for King Changshan to foresee the war. Not only did you not dissuade him, but you went to Jin with him.
Yang Lai is forcing me, what are your intentions?"
Although Gao Yang has given the impression that he has become increasingly crazy and moody in recent years, there are still deep logical considerations behind his extremely exposed emotional changes.
Jinyang used to be the seat of the Bafu, but now it is a military center, which requires him to stay in charge for a long time. As the capital and political center of the country, Yecheng also needs someone who is truly worthy of his trust to stay and preside over it. There is no doubt that Yang Min is such a person.
On the one hand, Gao Yang was extremely kind to Yang Min, and he took care of all state affairs, and his trust could be said to be endless. On the other hand, he was wary of Yang Min, and especially disliked Yang Min's close association with the clan ministers.
This time Yang Min went to Jinyang with Changshan King Gao Yan without asking for permission in advance, and what he wanted to report was something that made Gao Yang feel even more irritated. Although the difficulties everyone stated were real.
, but to Gao Yang's ears it still sounded like the officials were uniting to create difficulties and put pressure on him.
This feeling naturally made Gao Yang feel disgusted and wary, and what made him even more dissatisfied was that Yang Min, his number one confidant, was actually involved, so after rejecting everyone else, he deliberately kept Yang Min for sanctions.
"I don't dare. My intention is to be loyal and repay your father!"
Yang Min was trampled to the ground and couldn't turn around. He only touched his forehead to the ground and said quickly: "The defeat of Heluo was indeed unexpected. The enemy general Li Boshan sent an envoy to invite the alliance, but there was another change. The country is now trapped in a material disaster.
As for the matter, it would be wise to make things right for the time being. The reason why I went to Jinyang to ask for an audience is just to remind Your Majesty not to use Changshan King to go south to lead an alliance!"
"Oh? Why not King Changshan?"
When Gao Yang heard this, the anger on his face faded slightly, and then he asked with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He moved the legs and feet that were stepping on Yang Min's back, bent down and reached out to pull up Yang Min, who was lying on the ground. He also personally helped Yang Min pat the dust and footprints on his back and back, looking as if he had just been
It was just a pair of bad friends playing around, not an angry king who wanted to kill the minister in power.
Yang Min had also become accustomed to this way of getting along with the emperor. He did not mind what happened before, but replied seriously: "This time the army went south to Heluo to fight with the Xiqiang. The death of the black otter can be said to be a great joy to the country. Apart from this old enemy,
It is worthy of the whole country to celebrate. As for the subsequent setbacks, they were all due to the failure of those involved to do their best and were controlled by the enemy. How can it be classified as a national humiliation?
Although Li Boshan is a powerful general for his country, he is not from the West after all. He has no feud with our country at all. He is just trying to gain the power of the Western Dynasty. Anyone who blocks him will become an enemy, even if his old master Black Otter is also
It is inevitable. Now he is eager to go west to seek good things with me, and his intentions can be seen. But now the Heluo Division is still intimidated by his troops. If King Changshan goes to discuss how to solve the problem, the soldiers will inevitably be ashamed of his personal favor.
Ignorant of justice..."
In the current situation, everyone has his own position and appeal. As the number one confidant of Qi Lord Gao Yang, Yang Min naturally does not want a clan king such as Changshan King Gaoyan to have too strong a presence in the military and political system of the current situation.
Feeling. And the reason why he hopes that the imperial court can make peace with Li Boshan this time is not only based on the current national conditions.
From the perspective of national power, Li Boshan, as a general of an enemy country, is naturally a formidable enemy that needs to be strictly guarded against. But regardless of the political stance, Li Boshan is the most outstanding representative of famous families in the world today. He himself is a member of a famous family since the Beizhen Mutiny.
A peak reached by the wealthy clan within the current situation.
As the prime minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yang Min naturally had no idea of collaborating with the enemy. However, the relatively unbalanced balance of forces in the country also forced him to consider it more comprehensively.
Although the contradiction between the Xianbei warriors and the Han court officials has not become prominent due to Emperor Gao Yang's consistently strong approach, this does not mean that the contradiction does not exist. People need to be prepared for danger in times of peace. In addition to his loyalty, Yang Min in the past
There are not many other choices besides the emperor, but now I see another possibility.
Now it seems that Li Boshan is very likely to become the new leader of the Kansai Bafu. Once he takes office, emotionally speaking, it will be difficult for the Xianbei nobles to despise and bully the Han people and powerful people as a group.
Although it is true that military men took over the country after the Six Towns Mutiny, Li Boshan came from behind and also stepped on the throne one step at a time.
In addition to these psychological and emotional changes, when Mount Libo was located in Kansai, the living space of the family members throughout the world was improved.
In the past, the Northern Qi Dynasty attracted most of the members of the Guandong aristocratic families to serve here because it was more prosperous and powerful. But now Li Boshan is located in Guanxi, and its attraction to family celebrities has also increased sharply. Although the Western Wei Dynasty was still poorer and weaker than the Northern Qi Dynasty, Li Boshan and Li Boshan
The Northern Qi Dynasty always won a strong victory in battles, and its people and personnel must be more prosperous than the political environment of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
If Northern Qi wanted to retain the talents of these clans, it would have to allocate more political resources to the members of the Guandong clan, which would also affect the structure of Northern Qi's domestic political forces.
Moreover, Li Boshan's reconciliation with Northern Qi has opened up a new way of communication between the two countries. They are no longer blindly hostile and have room for peaceful coexistence. This will reduce Northern Qi's external military intensity and reduce the need for war.
After it is lowered, the right to speak of Jinyang Xungui will be further squeezed.
Taken together, these are all the reasons why Yang Min wants to promote this peace negotiation. If this matter can be achieved, it may change the power structure of the entire world. Although this is only Yang Min's beautiful vision, it is also worth pursuing.
Work hard to make it happen.
Gao Yang was not as comprehensive as Yang Min imagined. When he heard that Yang Min said that he came to Jinyang because he was worried that King Changshan would take the opportunity to ask for help and win people's hearts, he felt sorry for Yang Min.
After pondering for a while, he pushed Yang Min and said: "Since you have this awareness, why don't you go and discuss the matter quickly? Don't let Yu Zi take the decision!"
After Yang Min heard this, he quickly bowed and left, and then hurriedly exited the hall.
Gao Yang returned to the palace, first carefully read the memorials submitted by several people, and then the staff brought in paper and pen, and personally copied down all the remarks made by the few people who came to the palace, and also took the photos and videos recorded by the attendants in the palace.
In comparison, there is actually very little difference, which shows that this person has a strong ability to remember.
Immediately, Gao Yang threw away the paper and pen, pointed at the waiter in the palace and laughed: "Dog slave, why don't you hurry up and bring in the wine? Call a beauty to wait on you!"
Regarding Li Boshan's request for peace, Jinyang soon made a decision. He Baren, the Anding king who had been expelled for crimes last year and was punished as a slave in Jiafang, was appointed as the Taibao to lead the envoy to Heluo to negotiate an alliance.
After the Northern Qi envoy headed by He Baren arrived in Heyang, Li Tai also made relevant arrangements. He himself sat in Baiting City and negotiated with the Qi envoy on behalf of Yu Jin, who stayed in Jinyong City.
The chaos in Guanzhong was beyond Li Tai's imagination, but Duan Shao, who was guarding Jiuqu City, still had considerable troops, and it would be difficult to break through the city in a short time. In order to return to Guanzhong as soon as possible to control the situation, Li Tai could only
Can temporarily give up the plan to continue to expand the results.
Because both sides had the need to end the war, the negotiations went relatively smoothly. For example, the exchange of prisoners and hostages, including the family members left behind in Jinyang when He Bayue led his troops to the west, the Northern Qi Dynasty did not take any trouble.
, agreeing to return it, relatives left in Guandong such as Yuwenjia and Duguxin can take this opportunity to go to Guanzhong.
What is more controversial is the territorial conditions proposed by Li Tai. Obviously, it is impossible for Northern Qi to agree to completely cede the Heluo area. Although Li Tai has actually occupied most of the Heluo area, it will be difficult for him to do so for a long time.
Being stationed here is also a situation that both sides are aware of, so Northern Qi naturally refuses to give in.
So the two sides struggled with each other for several days, and finally reached a resolution that the Western Wei Dynasty would return Jinyong City and other Heluo water defenses, while the Northern Qi Dynasty would return Jiuqu City and other Luo River defenses, and they would demolish them and no longer build any more military fortifications in Yique.
The territories of both sides have generally returned to the state before the war. The Northern Qi Dynasty paid an additional 60,000 shi of rice and 20,000 pieces of silk as food and supplies for Li Tai's troops in Heluo.
Such conditions are naturally a bit humiliating for Northern Qi, but if they want to send troops to regain Heluo, the money and food consumption will inevitably be several times that, and it will be difficult to organize a large army to continue southward this winter.
When the Turks retreat in the spring of next year, it is still unknown whether Duan Shao's tens of thousands of troops can be saved during this process. Moreover, after the money and food are reimbursed, the nearly 10,000 prisoners of war in Li Tai's army will also be returned to Northern Qi. Although it does not look good in appearance, but
The benefits are huge.
Although the Jinyang soldiers are large in number, they cannot withstand the consumption of tens of thousands. Especially after the Guanxi town soldiers are exhausted, Li Boshan rises. If the Jinyang soldiers are really disabled, the Jinyang nobles will soon be
I have to give an account too.
The reason why Li Tai was willing to return these prisoners of war was because Yiyang, Heyang and other places also detained a large number of Guanxi soldiers. He fought in Heluo for so many days, so of course he also wanted to bring these Guanxi soldiers back to his hometown.
.What's more, those prisoners of Jinyang soldiers have been actively exposing the crimes against Hulu Jin for some time in the past. When Jinyang is attacked in the future, they can also print some leaflets about their previous confessions and spread them around Jinyang.
Therefore, with the forbearance of both parties, the cooperation agreement was basically reached. Since the two elders Jin and He Baren made an oath of alliance on the bank of Luoshui south of Jinyong City, it marked that the relationship between the two countries was no longer what it was before.
The situation was irreconcilable and entered a new stage.
As the various terms of the covenant began to be implemented one after another, Li Tai also led a team of elite soldiers to Tongguan, preparing to enter the pass to quell the chaos and take charge of the overall situation.
The Battle of Heluo has come to an end, and this volume is also over. By the way, I would like to take a leave of absence, and I will start updating the following plot content on the third day of the new year. The next section is also a plot with drastic changes in the situation and many characters' perspectives. The first section
I am worried that my writing may not be effective if I am distracted during the New Year. Secondly, I also want to relax.
Although the updates have been tepid and not as good as those of the big volume kings, in fact, I have not been absent from work since August last year. Of course, this is also the ethics and responsibility of an online article author. It is not worth showing off, and everyone is the same
Real money and silver support. It’s the New Year. Let’s take a short break and repay everyone’s support in a better state next year.
I wish you all a happy holiday in advance, a happy life, and good luck in the Year of the Dragon!!!
