Chapter 1540: Yu Wenzhi, who is eager to be the emperor
At this time, the sound of fast running footsteps came from the door, and then the voice of his great-grandson Yang Tong: "Grandfather, does your grandson have something urgent to report?"
"Come in!" Yang Guang sighed and slowly put down his pen. He didn't need to worry about how to get this reply to Wang Junlin. He believed that just like the secret letter appearing on the plan, it would disappear soon.
Appeared in front of Wang Junlin, even though Wang Junlin was already tens of thousands of miles away in Mayi County in the northwest.
Young Yang Tong walked in, knelt down in front of Yang Guang, and said urgently: "Grandfather, there is something wrong with the guards in the palace and the imperial army in Yangzhou City. My grandson feels that there may be rebellion, so I ask my grandpa to put it down."
The generals of the imperial army and the commanders of the guards were summoned into the palace to identify loyalties and traitors, and then all those who deliberately rebelled were killed!"
Yang Guang leaned on the couch and stared at the innocent and decisive emperor's grandson. After a while, he shook his head and said calmly: "They won't come. They made plans to rebel half a month ago."
However, they were worried that Wang Junlin would interfere with Yangzhou's affairs. Now that Wang Junlin had gone to Mayi County and was about to start a war with Li Yuan, they thought that Wang Junlin could not take care of Yangzhou's affairs, so they would launch a war soon.
"
When Yang Tong heard this, his face suddenly turned pale with disbelief on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Emperor Grandfather, quickly activate General Yuwen Chengdu. He has great prestige among the imperial army and guards. He should lead people to eliminate the rebels. We should return the favor."
It’s too late.”
Yang Guang smiled miserably and shook his head: "It's too late. I fell into their trap and became suspicious of Yuwen Chengdu, so I removed him from military power. In the past half month, they had already placed Yuwen Chengdu in the Forbidden Army.
All of his confidants have been killed. Even if I pardon Yuwen Chengdu and reinstate him, it will only be him."
Yang Tong looked desperate, bit his lip, and whispered: "Your Majesty's Grandfather, Navy Commander Huang Shaoqiu has always been loyal to your Majesty's Grandfather, and Huang Shaoqiu's 30,000-strong navy came from the Far East Army, and the Far East Army's navy and land warfare are also
If he is strong, the emperor's grandfather can issue a secret order to let him lead the army to Yangzhou to serve the king."
Seeing that the emperor's grandson Yang Tong trusted Huang Shaoqiu so much, Yang Guang understood many things instantly. Especially when he contacted the content of Wang Junlin's secret letter and memorial he had just read, he immediately became convinced of one thing: the 30,000 navy troops commanded by Huang Shaoqiu had always been
Wang Junlin's people have never been loyal to Yang Guang from the beginning to the end. When Wang Junlin sent these 30,000 people to lead a large number of warships to bring him and most of the people and property of the court and palace to Yangzhou, he had already planned it.
everything.
Fortunately for him, Yang Guang used his wealth, official position, title and beautiful women to win over Huang Shaoqiu. Now when he looks back, what he has done is a joke.
"Did Wang Junlin expect this?" Yang Guang suddenly thought of this, with a look of disbelief and disbelief on his face, "How could he know that someone would rebel, or even know that it was Yu Wenzhi and the traitor?"
"Could it be that Wang Junlin is really the destined emperor? Even God is helping him." Yang Guang's face changed several times and he remained silent for a long time.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Yang Guang took a deep breath, looked at Yang Tong deeply and said, "My grandson, I heard that you have gathered many talented people around you in the past few years, and you even secretly trained three thousand private troops.
, is there such a thing?"
Yang Tong didn't show any guilt or guilt, and said calmly: "The imperial grandfather knew clearly that my grandson also wanted to prevent thieves from murdering his grandson."
Yang Guang smiled bitterly in his heart. If he was not mistaken, all the capable people around Yang Tong were from Wang Junlin. Otherwise, given Yang Tong's mediocre status, the imperial court would not have any extra money for Yang Tong in the past few years.
To recruit talents, how could so many people be loyal to him based on his status as the grandson of the Sui Emperor who was about to perish?
Yang Guang thought for a while, but finally did not tell Yang Dong the truth. He sighed and said: "Dong'er's words are reasonable. I immediately issued an order to re-enable Yuwen Chengdu and let him escort him, and try his best to eliminate the traitors who want to rebel. At the same time,
I will also issue an order to Huang Shaoqiu, asking him to lead the Navy King Qin to escort him. It is up to you to arrange the people around you to convey these two orders! I will also leave the rest of the matter to you, between you and Yu Wenzhi and that
The thieves are going around, and they must be cut into pieces."

………
When Wang Junlin had already gone to Mayi County, and Li Yuan's North Road army had moved north, and the news that he had started a war with Wang Junlin reached Yu Wen Zhiji's ears, Yu Wen Zhiji was almost overjoyed.
Just as Yang Guang said, Yuwen Zhiji had prepared everything and was just waiting for Wang Junlin to be entangled by Li Yuan, so he had no time to send an army or spare his energy to interfere in Yangzhou's affairs.
From this we can also see the extent to which Yuwen Zhiji was afraid of Wang Junlin.
Of course, it was not that he failed to take Huang Shaoqiu's 30,000 navy into consideration, but he thought that with some preparations he had made, he could trap the 30,000 navy on the Yangtze River, or even take the opportunity to destroy it.
Now he has 50,000 Yangzhou Imperial Guards under his control, more than half of the court officials have secretly moved closer to him, and some local aristocratic families have also secretly communicated with him. It can be said that the situation has been decided.
Thinking of this, Yuwen Zhiji immediately ordered people to invite his most trusted aide Liu Zhifei to prepare to implement the rebellion plan.
Liu Zhifei walked into the room, and Yu Wenzhiji stepped forward and gave him a deep salute. He said with some excitement and enthusiasm: "Thanks to Mr. Wang Junlin's clever plan, now Wang Junlin is also entangled by Li Yuan. Everything is ready in Yangzhou. The only thing is
Something happened."
Liu Zhifei laughed and said with a confident look: "All this is within my expectation. Now the only thing we need to guard against is Huang Shaoqiu's 30,000 navy."
Yu Wenzhiji said confidently: "Sir, don't worry, Huang Shaoqiu, I have secretly negotiated a deal with Liang Shidu, Li Zitong, and Xiao Mian. When the time comes, they will send navy to entangle Huang Shaoqiu, even if one or two of them violate the agreement."
, as long as one of these three fulfills the regulations, Huang Shaoqiu can be entangled so that Huang Shaoqiu will not ruin our major event."
Hearing this, Liu Zhifei nodded and said: "Second Young Master has thought carefully. These three families have been plotting against Huang Shaoqiu's warship for a long time. They will probably join forces to destroy Huang Shaoqiu and divide his warship, especially the cannons and crossbows on board. Even if
Moved to the city wall or even on the ground, it is also a powerful weapon for soldiers to attack the city and seize territory."
After receiving Liu Zhifei's approval, Yu Wenzhiji became more confident in his plan and asked: "Sir, when do you think we should take action?"
Liu Zhifei pondered for a while and said: "I'm afraid Yang Guang has come to his senses now. Although it won't be too much trouble for him to re-activate Yuwen Chengdu, he is afraid that Yuwen Chengdu will risk his life to escort Yang Guang or the emperor's grandson Yang Tong to escape, especially in the future.
If the perpetrator escapes, it is likely to cause great trouble."
