Yang Tan frowned, obviously very disappointed and dissatisfied with his grandfather's situation at this time, but he still took the wine glass, drank it down, knelt down directly to Yang Guang, and said loudly: "Grandpa, my grandson has a baby
According to reports, the Wagang rebels in East County have taken control of the two counties, and the surrounding counties have also been vaguely controlled. Now they have threatened the safety of Luoyang and Kyoto. Now, rumors are spreading among the people. Some traitors are advocating that Li Min is a traitor and ask my grandfather to mobilize.
The army went all out to surround and suppress the rebels in Wagang Village."
After Yang Tan finished speaking impassionedly, he lowered his head and waited for Yang Guang's answer, but after a while there was no reply. When he looked up, he saw Yang Guang's eyes half-open and half-closed, leaning against him in a daze.
In the arms of the beloved concubine behind him, he didn't know whether he was asleep or not. Yu Shiji was sitting on his knees beside him, Fu Er was saying something to Yang Guang. Looking at Yang Guang's appearance, he didn't know whether he heard what he just said clearly.
After a while, Yang Guang said in a low voice and vaguely: "Tan'er! I have my own opinion on this matter. Nawagang Li Mi is just a clown. If I want to destroy them, it's just a matter of a snap.
You go to the East Palace and study hard with the teacher I hired for you."
Yang Tan was obviously very dissatisfied with Yang Guang's answer, and said loudly: "Grandpa, my grandson is willing to lead the army to destroy the Nahuagang rebels and bring back the head of the traitor Li Mi to my grandfather."
Yang Guang shook his head and said: "Tan'er, you are still young, how can you lead an army to fight?"
Yang Tan said anxiously: "When my grandfather was young, he led a large army to the south of the Yangtze River and destroyed the Chen Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River. What my grandfather could do, my grandson can also do."
Yang Tan's words seemed to bring back good memories of Yang Guang. After a while, he suddenly laughed loudly and said loudly: "What Tan'er said makes some sense, but it's just too dangerous to lead an army."
Next to him, Pei Shiju suddenly stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty said a few days ago that he wanted to go out for a walk and tour the world. How about your Majesty tour the counties in the north and let His Highness the Crown Prince supervise the country in Luoyang and Kyoto. This can be regarded as a test of what His Highness has learned these years."
Learn whether you can stand alone."
When Yang Guang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said: "Pei Aiqing's proposal is very agreeable to my heart. I will pass on the decree that I will patrol the north in seven days, and the prince will stay in the East Palace to supervise the country."
…
…
"The emperor is going to inspect the world again." Yang Guang adopted Pei Shiju's suggestion and decided that on the third day of the northern tour, Fanyang County received the news. Wang Junlin told the news to Du Ruhui and Liu Ziming who had just been summoned with a complicated expression.
He had actually known for a long time that Guang might be on a northern patrol, and he even knew what might happen during the northern patrol. But now that history had changed, he was not sure whether some of the things that were going to happen would still happen.
Liu Ziming didn't know that there was another reason for the complicated expression on Wang Junlin's face, and sighed: "The emperor usually has to offer food somewhere when he inspects. If there are dozens or hundreds of people, there is no problem, but the emperor's inspection has never been less than 100,000.
One county simply cannot afford the food for the people, officials, harem, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. I remember that the emperor went to Jiangnan five years ago for inspection. Even the wealthy counties in the south of the Yangtze River couldn't afford it, let alone Pingliang and Lingzhou in the north.
Counties with sparsely populated areas like Wuyuan and Wuyuan.”
Du Ruhui sneered and said: "When did the emperor and those people in Luoyang care about the life and death of the people? Doesn't Ziming know about the incident between Qiu He and Yang Kuo three years ago?"
Liu Ziming sighed: "How could I not know that three years ago the emperor visited Yanmen County and Mayi County, and Qiu He, the prefect of Yanmen County, devoted all his efforts to entertain Yang Guang and his hundreds of thousands of followers for three days.
Although Yanmen County was almost completely exploited, Qiu He was transferred to the wealthy Boling County as the governor because of his good reception. Later, Yang Guang inspected Mayi County. The governor Yang Kuo was an honest official and could not bear to exploit the people.
He was willing to offer delicious food and neglected Yang Guang a little. As a result, Yang Guang was extremely dissatisfied. Although he did not dismiss him, he ordered him to learn from Qiu He."
Wang Junlin also sneered and said: "From then on, wherever Yang Guang went, local officials tried their best to entertain him and did not dare to neglect. This made Yang Guang's inspection an extremely heavy burden for the people everywhere, but at the same time it was also a heavy burden for the people.
It was a good opportunity for local officials to make a fortune. A censor once impeached Qiu He. The emperor stayed in Yanmen County for three days. In the name of offering food, Qiu He collected an additional 500,000 yuan from the people of Yanmen County.
, he alone embezzled 100,000 yuan, and other subordinate officials also took advantage of the opportunity to embezzle how much? This is a confusing account, no one can calculate it clearly, and more importantly, Yang Guang suppressed the impeachment of the censor."
…
…
The three of them lamented the suffering that the emperor's northern tour had brought to the local area. Wang Junlin looked solemn and talked about business: "Ruhui and Ziming can prepare food and grass in the past few days. The emperor's northern tour may cause the Turks to do something strange."
, and will probably use all our strength to go south, and we will probably dispatch a large army by then."
Du Ruhui and Liu Ziming were shocked when they heard this. The former asked doubtfully: "Does the prince mean that the Turks will be detrimental to the emperor?"
Wang Junlin nodded, shook his head, and said: "The spies Guoer sent to the Turks these days have collected a lot of information about the Turks. The Turks are ready to go south at any time. They are just waiting for a good opportunity. Now
The emperor's northern inspection tour went to the border, which may be a good opportunity for the Turks."
…
…
Half a month later, Sui Emperor Yang Guang's huge inspection team appeared on the vast land of Pingliang County. The inspection team numbered 140,000 people and stretched for more than 20 miles. The banners were overwhelming and the momentum was huge.
The core of the inspection team is the emperor's palace, Liuhe City. Liuhe City is a huge movable wooden palace city built by He Chou, the minister of Shaofu Temple. As the name suggests, it is hexagonal in shape, with a circumference of eight miles, and a parapet above the ground.
It is six feet high. Emperor Yang Guangyi and other palace maids and eunuchs lived in it, and there were three thousand inner palace soldiers defending it on the top of the city.
There are hundreds of huge wooden wheels installed under Liuhe City. It cannot walk on its own and needs thousands of oxen to pull it forward slowly and steadily.
Although he knew that such a huge Liuhe City was very slow to move, and just letting the place build roads required a lot of civilian labor, Yang Guang liked this, because in his opinion, only such a car could be worthy of his emperor.
identity.
From a psychological point of view, when a person attaches great importance to expressing his or her identity through external objects, it is actually a sign of loss of self-confidence.
However, as he approached the border of Wuyuan County, Yang Guang became more and more interested, because this was not the first time he came to Wuyuan County. In the 20th year since the founding of the Emperor, he led an army of 150,000 people as the commander-in-chief and marched out of Wuyuan County.
Defeating the Western Turks Datou Khan, returning to the old place this time reminded him of his bravery in the past, and some of the lost confidence seemed to have returned.
