Li Xu was afraid that Yang Guang would accidentally hurt Gan Luo, so he flew an arrow and shot down another doe next to the white deer. The frightened white deer suddenly stopped and neighed.
Yang Guang took the opportunity to loosen the bow string, and the white deer fell down in response.
"Go and kill Zhang Jincheng for me!" Yang Guang put away his bow, and with a proud expression on his face, he said, "Send his head to the east capital. The sooner the better!"
It wasn't until the hunting was over that Xu Zi finally recovered from the shock. "Your Majesty actually asked me to kill Zhang Jincheng!" He could not figure out what kind of hatred there was between Yang Guang and a bandit leader.
According to the information Li Xu has, the large group of bandits currently running rampant in Hebei include Dou Jiande, Wang Bo, Wang Xuba and Wei Daoer. Any one of them is more powerful than Zhang Jinsheng.
Much! Thief Zhang became famous because of his cruelty and greed, but Thief Zhang, who has a reputation for cruelty, has no hope of achieving great things.
However, even if Yang Guang didn't mention it, Li Xu himself would bring Zhang Jinchen to justice as soon as possible. This man had an affair with Sun Anzu at a banquet because he was greedy for the opponent's subordinates. The latter had a heavy hatred for Li Xuen, and this hatred
He can't help but retaliate.
"Could it be that His Majesty feels guilty for Uncle Jiu, so he lends my hand to avenge Uncle Nine?" After thinking about it, Li Xu came to this conclusion. This speculation makes sense, but it is really unbelievable. "If His Majesty is really
I feel guilty for Uncle Jiu, why didn't I give him some compensation in the first place? Are there any other grievances between the two of them?" The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and for a moment, his head was as big as a bucket.
"The general doesn't seem to be very happy?" Captain Zhang Hong saw that his coach's face had become very solemn since the moment he collected the team and returned. He stepped forward and asked with concern.
"I was thinking about your Majesty's instructions!" Li Xu shook his head, walked a few steps outside, and replied a little tiredly. Since the population near Fenyang is sparse, the ministers who came to hunt with him also made quite a lot of gains. At this moment, everyone rushed to Yang
Guang offered his prey in order to show off his shooting skills in front of his colleagues, and surrounded the imperial tent. Li Xusheng was not willing to join in the excitement, so he simply took the opportunity to walk away, stretching his muscles and inspecting the defenses near the imperial tent.
"Did His Majesty give you any problems?" Zhang Hong looked around first, then lowered his voice and comforted: "Don't take it too seriously. I have never met the Emperor before, and I always thought that he kept his word.
Now it seems that he is very deceived. It is estimated that in a few days, he will forget what he said and will not send anyone to investigate again!"
"Isn't it? Your Majesty is just a spoiled child. Today, everyone saw him crying and laughing, and his face turned faster than a child's!" Lu Qin was still worried about Yang Guang's reneging on his promise and gaining weight.
He criticized in a low voice. "When we were asked to defend Yanmen, we were steadfast in our oath. After you read it, you didn't even mention a word!"
Both of them were old subordinates who had followed Li Xu for a long time, so they spoke freely in front of him. Xu Zi could not defend Yang Guang, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, "But he is our emperor after all!" He sighed.
, walking farther and farther with heavy steps.
One hundred and fifty miles south of Fenyang is Taiyuan. Although Yang Guang's chariot moved slowly, it arrived at the Fenhe River two days later. Tang Gong Li Yuan learned the news that the holy chariot had returned south, so he went there early
He led the officials from all over the Hedong Road to greet him ten miles away. When the golden imperial chariot stopped, Li Yuan stepped forward a few steps, knelt in the middle of the road and played: "The ministers were so anxious when they heard that the Turks were invading, and they wished they could go there in person to help them.
Your Majesty blocked the arrows. He had no choice but to fight fiercely with the bandits, and it was difficult to get out. He had to pray in front of the Buddha day and night, hoping that the Buddha would bless your Majesty and turn the danger into good luck. Today I finally saw the Holy Emperor return safely. I, I, I, even if I die immediately,
I am willing!" After saying that, he kowtowed to the ground and shed tears like rain.
"God bless the Sui Dynasty, God bless your majesty!" In an instant, a large number of officials from all over the country knelt down, with tears streaming down their faces and sobbing. Seeing that the local officials were so concerned about their own safety, Yang Guang was deeply moved. He stepped down from the imperial chariot and with his own hands
He helped Li Yuan up and said, "Li Qing is safe. All my dear friends, please be safe. Aren't I back? The Turkic clowns thought that by robbing me, they would make me, the Sui Dynasty, surrender. I will not let them succeed, even if that day
Even if Yanmen is killed in battle, they will not succeed!"
"It is a crime for me to frighten His Majesty!" Li Yuan wiped his tears and bowed.
"The Lord has humiliated his ministers to death. Please punish us for our incompetence!" The local officials knelt down again and asked for their own punishment.
"Not guilty, what does it have to do with you that the Turks are making trouble? You have worked hard for our herdsmen and have done a great job. I have also seen along the way that in the counties of Hedong, except for the border areas that were looted by thieves, the people in other places are living well."
Yang Guang shook his head very generously and said with encouragement.
At that moment, Li Yuan asked Yang Guang to return to the imperial chariot, and he personally held up a big flag to clear the way for Yang Guang. The gentry and common people in Taiyuan were also ordered to wear their brightest clothes and knelt down on both sides of the road to welcome His Majesty the Emperor's "triumph". Yang Guang pulled
Opening the brocade curtain on the royal chariot, he looked around and saw the densely packed incense tables on the roadside. The joy on his father's face was beyond words. He felt even more comfortable and ordered the guards to replace Li Yuan in front and called the latter to his side.
The commendation said: "My cousin is really capable. He has only been in office for less than a year, and he has made the local people so aware of etiquette. If all the local officials in Sui Dynasty are like you, why should I worry about rebellion all day long?!"
"Those rebellious people are ignorant of good and evil. Your Majesty does not need to worry about them. As long as Your Majesty is safe and sound, those bandits and bandits are like insects in the late autumn and will perish over time!" Li Yuan clasped his fists on his horse and answered respectfully.
"You would say, I am safe and sound, what does it have to do with the survival of the bandits?" Yang Guang asked with a smile after hearing Li Yuan forcefully connect two unrelated things.
"Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty and the backbone of all officials. As long as your Majesty is safe, the ministers and others will have rules and strength to do their work. If the ministers and others have rules and strength to do their work, the people's lives will be stable. The people's lives will be stable.
If the number of thieves is reduced, the number of people who are willing to be thieves will decrease. No one will become thieves, and those bandits will naturally not have the energy to make trouble anymore." Li Yuan reacted very quickly, and explained the connection, and heard the surrounding ministers nodding frequently.
"So, the people around Taiyuan live and work in peace and contentment, all thanks to me!" Yang Guang laughed, pointing to the people who bowed their heads and knelt down on both sides of the official road and asked.
"Of course it's your Majesty's credit. Without Your Majesty knowing people and making good use of them, how could they live a stable life!" Pei Ju, the assistant minister of Huangmen who took charge of the government, had already received a large sum of benefits from Li Yuan's family, and stepped forward with a smile to stand up for him.
"You, a sycophant, can talk better than Li Qing!" Yang Guang smiled and scolded, "Whoever deserves the credit deserves it. Li Qing not only made great achievements in governing the place, but also gave birth to a good son. When I saw Shimin, I felt so happy.
I feel like it is only our Yang and Li families that can produce such a young hero." Having said this, he felt a little guilty and couldn't help but look back at Li Xu who was following the imperial chariot. But suddenly he remembered that the latter also
His surname is Li, so what he said is not wrong, "And your nephew, I have made him the champion general, Marquis Boling!"
"Thank you for your kindness!" Li Yuan had long known that both Shimin and Xuzi had been awarded high positions. When Yang Guang mentioned it, he hurriedly bowed on the horse and said, "Your Majesty has taken great care of the Li family, even if I am broken into pieces."
, it’s hard to repay just in case!”
"I don't need you to be smashed to pieces. Just take care of these hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers for me, and don't let the Turks have another chance to seize the border!" Yang Guang nodded, thoughtfully in his heart. "I have decided to grant you Taiyuan's stay.
If there is a Turkic invasion, all the troops and horses in the counties east of the river will be at your disposal!"
"Your Majesty, Li Yuan, thank you for your kindness!" Li Yuan's body swayed a few times on the horse, and he almost fell down. Since Yang Guang ascended the throne, he has been strictly vigilant about the Li family. Therefore, even when he was at the highest official position, Li Yuan was in the hands of
They have never controlled more than five thousand soldiers and horses. But today God opened his eyes and handed over the power of dispatching county soldiers in Hedong areas to the Li family. If the Li family needs anything in the future, they will never rely on the strength of their troops.
Got a headache due to the problem.
"Tang Gong, be careful!" Pei Ju and others saw that Li Yuan was so happy that he could no longer ride his horse, so they hurried forward to help him. Li Yuan's face was as red as if he was drunk, and his words and deeds were full of drunkenness. "
Your Majesty, Your Majesty's kindness will never be forgotten by me, Li Yuan. Although I, I, am already old, as long as the Turks dare to provoke me, I, I am willing to be the old Huang Zhong in front of Your Majesty's tent..." He said,
His eyelids turned red and he started to cry again.
"I remember what you said. Enter the city, enter the city, we will talk after our monarchs and ministers enter the city!" Yang Guang laughed again, very satisfied with Li Yuan's performance. "Li Yuan has aged faster than me!" Deep in his heart
, he thought. "Since he is too old to ride a horse, then the nursery rhyme refers to someone who is not him!"
Looking at the tall and majestic city walls and the Fen River flowing around the city like milk, Yang Guang couldn't help but feel a little stunned. In order to preserve the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Yang family, he was already exhausted physically and mentally. But now Li Hun has been executed, Li Mi is disabled, and Li Yuan is old.
, all the possible opponents who could usurp power have been eliminated, so who is the person referred to in the nursery rhyme?
As if someone was hinting, Yang Guang moved his eyes from the front, glanced at the ministers, and slowly moved back. He saw Gan Luo, whose coat was as bright as silver, walking calmly behind his chariot, not caring about the surroundings at all.
Rushan cheered and feared. "The Holy Son of Heaven must be accompanied by something extraordinary!" This thought made him feel very proud, but at the same time, an unspeakable panic suddenly surged in his heart. He saw Xuzi, riding a Teller
On the palace, the body was upright. Some bold people pointed and pointed, obviously discussing the legendary experience of the youngest champion general in the Sui Dynasty, and their eyes seemed to be full of awe.
"I actually forgot that his surname is Li!" Yang Guang's heart suddenly twitched, and his face suddenly turned as pale as snow. (To be continued)
