Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Three: The Marquis of the Founding of the Country
Dezheng Hall.
As soon as Yang Guang sat on the dragon chair, he asked with a cold face: "Dugu Sheng, have you found out the origins of those rebels last night?"
Dugu Sheng said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, we have already investigated clearly. In addition to the Korean assassin, there are also rebels Du Fuwei, Shen Fazheng, Li Ziyun, Shen Luoyan of Wagang Village, Zu Junyan, etc."
"Koryeo Assassin, Goryeo Assassin Again."
Yang Guang shouted angrily and said: "I will raise an army of one million people to march eastward again, and this time I must completely wipe out this country."
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
The officials were shocked and quickly tried to dissuade him.
Nima, don’t you, the emperor, have any idea about the current situation in the country?
If you still want to march eastward, you are thinking that the country will not be subjugated quickly enough!
Seeing the opposition from the officials, Yang Guang could only suppress his anger.
He himself knew that another expedition was impossible, he just wanted to complain.
However, although he can't do anything to Goguryeo now, Yang Guang has not yet paid attention to those rebels.
So he said: "Come here, tell me my will, and send out armies from all over the country to suppress these rebels with all their strength. They must be wiped out in the shortest possible time."
After dealing with the rebels, Yang Guang will start to pursue accountability.
He questioned Yu Wenhuaji and said coldly: "Yu Wenhuaji, why were you not on duty in the palace last night, so that I was almost assassinated?"
Yu Wenhuaji lowered his head and sincerely apologized: "We happened to be away from the palace last night because of something, which frightened Your Majesty. His crime deserves to be punished by death. Please punish me!"
"You deserve death. Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"
"Wei Chen dare not."
Although Yang Guang was full of anger, he couldn't really kill the other party.
After all, the Yuwen clan is one of the four great clans and has deep-rooted power.
As the person who actually spoke about the incident, Yu Wenji, if Yang Guang really wanted to kill him, he had to consider the consequences of this incident first.
At this moment, Yu Shiji stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, General Yuwen was not on duty in the palace last night. He was actually in Yangzhou City to entertain the mother of Mrs. Dongming of the Dongming Sect. female."
Yang Guang's eyes turned cold, revealing the slightest hint of murderous intent.
Is this actually what Yu Wenhuaji calls a banquet for mother and daughter?
This is also Yu Shiji's deliberate misleading in language. For a foolish king like Yang Guang, the word "mother and daughter" is really too imaginative.
The officials were in an uproar, obviously they had been misled.
Yu Wenhuaji's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but because he lowered his head, no one saw it.
He quickly defended: "Your Majesty, the Dongming Sect is engaged in the weapons business. The banquet held by the ministers is also to prepare to purchase a batch of weapons to redress the uniforms of the imperial guards. Now in Luoyang, because of the Jianghuai Army and Wagangzhai If we block it, the weapons will not be transported at all."
Yang Guang's eyes flickered, and he doubted the authenticity of this matter.
But since Yu Wenhuaji said so, he would die without proof, so he would not punish him too harshly, so as not to chill the officials.
When Yu Shiji saw this, he secretly said something bad.
Unexpectedly, his "adding fuel and jealousy" just now actually gave Yu Wenhuaji a good excuse, but it had the opposite effect.
Pei Yun hurriedly made amends and said: "It is reasonable for General Yuwen to entertain Lady Dongming and her daughter of the Dongming Sect for official business. But why were the masters under your command not in the palace last night? Do you still want their protection? What are your intentions for disregarding His Majesty's safety in this way?"
Yu Wenhuaji said: "They were sent out by Weichen for important matters. Weichen was negligent in this matter. Please forgive me."
Yang Guang waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, no matter what your reasons are, I will give you a chance to make meritorious service and catch the Korean assassins, Du Fuwei and others within three days. Three
If you fail to do so in the future, you will be punished for both crimes."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Yu Wenhua promised, but his mind turned away.
Yang Guang's eyes swept across the ministers, and finally fell on Li Yizhi, and said: "Among all the officials of your highness, only Li Yizhi is the most loyal. He even arrived in time last night and defeated the rebels. Come and announce the decree!"
"
A white-faced eunuch with no beard opened the imperial edict and announced loudly: "The emperor said... Li Yizhi has made a contribution to the rescue. He was specially named the founding prefect and was given ten thousand taels of gold, ten buckets of pearls, three thousand pieces of cloth... and a gold medal."
With one piece, you can enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit at any time, and admire this."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Li Yizhi hurriedly bowed and bowed, feeling happy in his heart.
This rescue effort was truly a huge reward. Not only was the reward generous, but he was also given the title of the founding commander of the country.
Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, titles have been divided into nine levels.
Among them, the founding prefectures belong to the second level, followed by the vassal king, the country's duke, and the prefecture's duke.
With the title of Founding Lord Commander, he will be more confident if he wants to control the Xiaoguo Army in the future, and it will also help the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army recognize him.

Dongming number.
Shan Meixian looked at the messy Dongming No., with no emotion or anger on her face.
Next to her, a middle-aged strong woman tremblingly reported: "Madam, there were too many masters who broke into the Dongming yesterday, and we couldn't stop them at all. All the account books were taken away. Please punish me, madam."
"
Shan Meixian said in a soft voice: "The responsibility for this matter is not yours, but do you know what forces took action last night and whose hands the account book ended up falling into?"
"The Yuwen Clan, Dugu Clan, Li Clan, Jukun Gang, Haisha Clan, etc. all took action. Yuwen Clan originally occupied the top position, but just when they were about to take away the account book, a master suddenly appeared and was easily seriously injured.
He killed Yuwen Wudi, thus allowing the Dugu clan and the Li clan to divide the account books." The middle-aged healthy woman reported.
Shan Meixian frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "The master who suddenly appeared, is he not from the Dugu Clan, or is he from the Li Clan?"
The middle-aged healthy woman shook her head and said: "It should be someone from the fourth party. He has no intention of keeping accounts, he just wants to stop the people from the Yuwen clan. As for the people from the Dugu clan and the Li clan, he doesn't care."
Shan Wanjing blinked her big eyes and asked curiously: "Mom, whose party do you think that person is?"
Shan Meixian shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "I don't know either, but it is obviously the enemy of the Yuwen Clan. Wanjing, let's leave Yangzhou as soon as possible and go to Pengcheng. The gathering of forces in Yangzhou has become the eye of the storm. So...
I estimate that big changes will happen next.”
Shan Wanjing nodded and looked at Yangzhou with some annoyance.
That hateful man, she hasn't settled the score with him yet.

West of the city.
Fu Jun was running away quickly. Her injuries were more serious now, her face was pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
"The Han people really don't have any good things. They are treacherous. After I recover from my injuries, I will repay you twice as much."
She spoke through gritted teeth, but her eyes revealed hidden worries.
In fact, she was not scolding Li Yizhi, but Du Fuwei and others.
Because it was them who suddenly shot and injured her.
We have to start talking about this after we finished it yesterday.
After escaping from the Jiangdu Palace last night, Fu Jun knew that she would never be able to kill Yang Guang again, and that she would be hunted down by various rebels.
Because the operation failed last night and caused heavy losses to all parties, this responsibility must be placed on her.
