Chapter 1 Peach Blossoms in March to the Jiangdu

Ten years have passed, and a mess has left behind!

Yang Guang conquered Liaodong three times, conquered the troops and horses of the world, and kept advancing all directions, and vowed to pacify Goguryeo in one fell swoop.

However, he ignored one thing, that is, after two failed conquests, the national strength was greatly damaged, the soldiers were tired of war, and the people were exhausted.

Yang Xuangan failed, but it caused severe turmoil.

Rebellions in various places were rising and rising. Under such circumstances, soldiers were not interested in fighting, and fugitives continued to stop them. Even if Yang Guang sacrificed the Yellow Emperor in Zhuo County, killed the fugitives, and smeared the war drums with blood, they could not stop the soldiers from fleeing. By July when Yang Guang supervised the battle against Huaiyuan Town, the soldiers and horses in various places were not in a hurry. Fortunately, after two conquests, Goguryeo also showed fatigue.

In addition, Baekje Wang Yici suddenly became tough and submitted a letter to the court at the same time as Silla, expressing his willingness to surrender to Yang Guang.

Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, sent envoys to surrender at the suggestion of Yidewenzhi and Yuan Taizuo. At the same time, Yang Guang seemed to be tired of the war. Seeing that the army was about to win, he agreed to Goguryeo's surrender. In August, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered that the troops would return to the court.

The reason why it was said to be a mess was that in October of that year, two months after the Goguryeo people asked for surrender, Gao Yuan declared war on Yang Guang again.

When Yang Guang heard this, he was furious and wanted to conquer again.

But even the children could see that the Sui Dynasty was no longer able to conquer again, so they repeatedly advised him, which finally calmed down Yang Guang.

Because Yang Guang was very happy with merits, the Marines rose again and reached an alliance with the Turks.

However, the situation in Goguryeo was not optimistic. Gao Yuan died of illness in the second year, that is, the 11th year of Daye, leaving his youngest son to inherit the throne. However, at this time, the two powerful ministers of Goguryeo, Yuan Taizuo and Yizhi Wende, had another conflict, resulting in a split situation in Goguryeo...

In the same year, Liu Jia, a native of Yan'an, colluded with Hu, called himself the emperor and rebelled.

Emperor Yang of Sui ordered the general of the Zuo Xiaogu Qu Tutong to be the ambassador to attack the enemy within the pass, and sent troops to attack him. He defeated the rebels in Shangjun and killed Liu Jialun and his generals, more than 10,000.

However, although the rebellion was quelled, the harm brought by Liu Jialun was even more serious.

Turkic Khan Duji, whose eagle-like gaze has begun to stare at the Central Plains, revealing a ferocious face...

In the eleventh year of the Great Avatar, Wang Xuba rebelled, and Wei Daoer raged Shanxi.

While inspecting Yanmen, Emperor Yang of Sui encountered Turks near the Turks and was trapped in Yanmen Pass. Shanxi's ambassador to arrest Li Yuan, the Taiyuan left behind Li Yuan, went to rescue the lord. It was in this year that Li Shimin, who was sixteen years old, participated in the war with his father for the first time, and made military achievements, and was given a thousand-magic man.

Li Zitong rebelled in Jiangnan and tried to annex Du Fuwei's troops who were almost crippled by Danyang County Magistrate Fang Yanqian.

Unexpectedly, Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou rose up to resist and defeated Li Zitong. Later, the Sui army came to reconcile and took advantage of the situation to pursue Du Fuwei. Du Fuwei had to retreat to Liyang and prepare for war. Fang Yanqian, the governor of Danyang County, chased Li Zitong and drove him back to Hailing.

In October, Zhu Can, a father of the city, rebelled...

In December, Li Yuan summoned thieves in Shanxi to restore peace in the Hedong area.

The twelve years of great cause arrived unknowingly!

Since Yang Guang was besieged by the Turks at Yanmen Pass, he has been in a state of decline.

He couldn't understand that since he ascended the throne, he had been diligent and hard-working. With the foundation left by his father, he had expanded his territory and was proud of his youth. Why did the situation suddenly change and the country was in chaos? Could it be that he was wrong to expand his territory? Was he wrong to promote his national prestige? Was he wrong to make all directions come to court? Was he wrong to make all directions wrong?

The more Yang Guang thought about it, the more he couldn't understand it. The more he thought about it, the more he got into the horns.

It’s not me that I will betray the world, but it is that the world that I will betray me!

One day, after Yang Guang finished reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he suddenly sighed to the sky and left the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" published by Luopu Library. I wanted to seek blessings for the world for generations, but the world regarded me as stupid. Since that is the case, what's the use of me doing so many things?

Yang Guang is a smart person, but smart people often become paranoid.

This is the case with Yang Guang. He was disheartened for a moment and no longer had the intention to do the government.

At the same time, the blow brought to him by Yang Xuangan's rebellion is still unavoidable. He was extremely suspicious of the civil and military officials of the court, and always felt that all of them wanted to usurp the throne. The Guanlong clan in Guanzhong and the descendants of Guandong... After a few words, there was no good person in the world. Neither Luoyang nor Chang'an could bring peace to him. On the contrary, the misty rain in Jiangnan in the early years became extremely attractive.

During the 11th year of Daye, Yang Guang ordered the construction of dragon boats.

Now that the dragon boat has been completed, he no longer wants to stay in this place that makes him panic. So in March of the 12th year of Daye, he issued an edict to go to Jiangdu.

"Your Majesty wants to go to Jiangdu, but Luoyang cannot be without arrangements. But I wonder who will leave your Majesty to stay?"

"As before, King Yue stayed in Luoyang, and King Dai stayed in Chang'an." Yang Guang made the first attempt to make the morning court since Yanmen returned.

In the court, he issued an edict to open two great eagles and eagles in Jishan and Black Stone to enhance the protection of the eastern capital Luoyang.

Previously, under the jurisdiction of Xingyang County, there were five Yingyang Mansions, Luokou, Xingze, Niuzhukou, Putian and Daquan Mountain. Among them, Xingze, Niuzhukou, Jindi Pass, and Hulao Pass guarded each other; Luokou guarded Heishi Pass and protected the Heishi Pass and Mangling Road; Putian is located at the easternmost point of Xingyang and is also the front line; Daquan Mountain is close to Xinzheng and is a barrier to the southeast of Xingyang. Originally, it was more than enough to protect Xingyang County with these five prefectures. However, as the number of civil wars increases, Xingyang, as the key to the eastern capital, must be strictly protected.

Therefore, under the suggestion of the Jinzi Guanglu Dafu Pei Shiju and others, Yang Guangguang added two Yingyang Mansions.

However, at the same time, Luokou Yingyang Mansion was also abolished and incorporated into the Black Stone Mansion.

Xu Shiji, the former general of Yingyang Mansion of Luokou, was promoted to Yingyang Mansion of Lutishan, for his merits. He was ranked fifth and left Yique Pass. His troops and horses were under his command. In other words, the newly opened Heishi Mansion not only had to shoulder all the access roads from Hulao Pass, Xingyang to Heishi Pass, but also had to shoulder the garrison task of the southwest of Heishi Pass and the Heishi Ferry. His responsibilities were even more significant.

Therefore, the general of the Black Stone Pass Ying Yanglang, who is ranked fifth, is above the six major military palaces in Xingyang.

Such an official position is naturally extremely important.

So much so that whoever will take over as the Ying Yanglang General of the Black Stone Mansion has become the focus of discussion among all civil and military officials...

Jishan is located in the southwest of Xingyang, echoing Dafeng Mountain. After some discussion, the candidate for Jishan Yingyanglang General was soon given a result.

Yang Guang issued an edict, and named Zhang Jixun the general of Yingyanglang in Jishan, and was ranked fifth.

No one would be surprised about this appointment, nor would he object. Zhang Jixun, a member of the Zhang clan in Wu County, is also Zhang Zhongjian's uncle. Zhang Jixun's father Zhang Xiang was once the chief of the Jin royal palace. Yang Guang left the town after winning the battle for the prince.

When King Yang Liang of Han raised an army, Zhang Xiang vowed not to surrender and died with the city.

Speaking of which, Zhang Xiang was the first group of followers and loyal to Yang Guang. So when Yang Guang appointed Zhang Jixun as the general of Jishan, no one dared to object. This was Yang Guang's confidant, and the Zhang family in Wu County was also closely related to Empress Xiao. Before Empress Xiao married, she grew up under the raising of her uncle. Empress Xiao's uncle was also from the Zhang family in Wu County. The court officials were not fools, and if they offended Yang Guang, they would have a glimmer of life under his moody temper. If they offended Empress Xiao...

Therefore, the focus of the debate was on the Black Stone General.

Who should leave Heishi Pass? Who should be the general of Heishi? The court officials competed with each other and argued with each other, and only made the court a mess.

"Pei Qing, why don't you speak?"

Yang Guang discovered that although the court officials quarreled fiercely, Pei Shiju, the great doctor of Jinzi Guanglu, closed his eyes slightly and said nothing.

Pei Shiju said: "Xingyang is the key to the Dongdu, and Heishi Pass is the last barrier to Luoyang. This is related to the safety of Dongdu, and I dare not speak out."

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the court suddenly stopped.

Yang Guang couldn't help laughing!

"Since Pei Qing doesn't want to speak, then I will replace Pei Qing. How about recommending someone?"

"The person recommended by Your Majesty must be suitable, and the old minister will never object."

This dialogue between the monarch and his subjects was actually Yang Guang told the civil and military officials of the court that I had already had an idea of ​​the candidate for the Black Stone General.

The so-called recommendation of Pei Shiju, to put it bluntly, is what Yang Guang himself means.

Such troubles are just because he doesn't want to be said to be arbitrary in the court. After Yang Guang said that, he looked around the civil and military officials in the court.

He pondered for a moment, "Heishi Pass is less than ten miles away from Gong County and is under the jurisdiction of Gong County. Since it is a general of Heishi Lang, why not let the men of Gong County leave the town?"

The male male in Gong County, the baron with the lowest rank among the fifth grade ranks.

If the full name is mentioned, it should be the Baron of Gong County, and he is worthy of 200 households.

Yang Guang smiled and said the candidate in his mind, and was in an uproar in the court for a moment.

"Your Majesty, Heishi Pass is the last barrier in the eastern capital, which concerns the safety of Luoyang. Gong County is only nineteen years old and may not be able to take on this important task."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Gongxian men are young and may not be able to take on this important task."

Yang Guang's face darkened and he was about to speak.

But Pei Shiju said, "These words of the Lords, although the men in Gong County have not yet become a resident, they are famous and have outstanding achievements. Their literary reputation is set aside. He is just a matter of conquering Goguryeo at the age of fifteen and capturing Gao Jianwu alive; at the age of sixteen, he led a young and strong county to block Yang Xuangan's 100,000 troops for nearly ten days, and he also won the regaining of the Sishui, Xingyang and Guancheng. It was only because his grandfather died of illness, so he was worried for three years...

Now, three years have passed, and Your Majesty rewards him for his merits, and it is also common sense to be the only general of Black Stone."

This man in Gong County is obviously Li Yanqing.

Speaking of which, Li Yanqing died three years ago because of Zheng Shi'an's demise, and Dingyou for three years.

Although he was unable to become an official, he was awarded the title of Gong County man. In the eyes of people at that time, it seemed that Li Yanqing's contribution to serving as Gong County man for life was not a big deal. In addition, this was just a false position, and Li Yanqing had no power except for the fiefs of 200 households.

I think this is Yang Guang's way of showing kindness to the world in order to appease the heroes.

So when the edict was issued, many people were surprised, but did not stand up to object.

But now it seems that the edict three years ago was indeed the current Black Stone General. In other words, the idea of ​​the Black Stone Mansion began in Xingyang had already emerged three years ago. Unfortunately, no one noticed Yang Guang's idea, and even Pei Shiju was also surprised. But since Yang Guang said that it was recommended on his behalf, Pei Shiju would of course try his best to maintain it.

"The Yuan Taifu also said that Black Stone Pass is the barrier of the Eastern Capital, so how can idle people leave the town?

Li Yanqing was outstanding in literary talent, loyal, upright, and proficient in military strategies. Moreover, he was very good at Xingyang. Over the past three years, various places reported that the kufu was insufficient and there were many hungry people. Only Xingyang had never had such news. Why? It was all up to Li Yanqing to summon the gentry of Xingyang, donate grain and talents, and start the porridge shed. As far as I know, Li Yanqing and others spent nearly 100,000 yuan in money and grain over the past three years. At the beginning, when Yang Xuangan was rampant in Heluo, there was such a situation in Luoyang. However, no one was willing to stand up and do such great things...

The Yuan Taifu may not know that the people of Xingluo mentioned Li Yanqing, and said: "Li Daliang Man."

If such a person leaves the Heishi Pass, if there is any accident, his arms will be raised and Heluo will echo. Why should the Eastern Capital worry about peace?"

The Yuan Taifu, named Yuan Wendu, served as the Taifu Qing, and was left behind in Luoyang.

He lived in Chang'an for a long time before. Although he knew Li Yanqing's name, he didn't know much about it.

After hearing this, he looked at Fan Zigai opposite. Fan Zigai is now serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and nods to Yuan Wendu, indicating that Pei Shiju was not wrong.

Pei Shiju said: "What's more, Li Yanqing is a filial person and has a good character.

In fact, Ganluo can be the prime minister at the age of twelve, why do we need to judge heroes by our size? People like Li Yanqing who are loyal, righteous, benevolent, filial and brave, according to me, I am afraid they will be a little younger as a Black Stone General."

As soon as Pei Shiju finished speaking, he saw someone standing out.

"If I say that the men in Gong County are loyal, filial and brave, I have no objection.

It can be said that his character is... I heard that since he edited the "Treacherous Notes" in the Qilin Pavilion, there have been endless carriages and horses outside the Qilin Pavilion. There are also rumors that he accepted bribes and whoever gave tens of thousands of yuan of money and silk immediately made a request. He wrote books and established a theory, and since ancient times he was a sage. He made a lot of money by making money, so how could he say that he was a correct person?
