The Eastern Turkic Royal Court was located in Dali City, northwest of Helinger in present-day Inner Mongolia.
The Han's tooth tent is here. Qimin Khan had been waiting for Yang Guang in Yulin early, and then escorted Yang Guang to visit various tribes outside the Great Wall with the courtesy of a courtier.
Yang Guang's battle formation really frightened Qimin. The army of 500,000 people was continuous and the flags were flying with great momentum. Even if I saw it, I felt guilty.
Yang Guang was also the first and only emperor in history to visit the Khan's tent of the northern grassland people as the emperor of the Central Plains.
He was indeed very long-faced and very pretentious. Anyway, Qimin was frightened.
Zizhi Tongjian records: The people worshiped the wine cup and knelt down with great respect. No one from the princes or princes dared to look up at him.
This situation made Yang Guangzhi so proud that he couldn't help but write a poem: "Poetry at the Banquet of the Turkic Lord in the Clouds". In fact, on the way to the Turks, he became very popular in poetry and composed a more famous poem. "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Grottoes·Informing the Conscripted Officials".
He is a tyrant and a genius.
After arriving at the Turk's Yazhang, Yang Guang rewarded Qimin with many gifts, while Queen Xiao rewarded Princess Kehe Dunyicheng of the Turk.
Princess Yicheng Yang was the daughter of Yang Xie, a clan member of the Sui Dynasty. In the 19th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, under the escort of Chang Suncheng, she married the Turk Qimin Khan.
It's to get married.
Kehedun is the wife of the Great Khan, similar to a queen. Princess Yicheng has successively become the Kehedun of Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Jieli Khan in history.
Why did Jie Li fight so fiercely with the Tang Dynasty? It was because his wife was a princess of the Sui Dynasty.
Shibi, Chuluo, and Jieli were all Qimin's sons.
Their custom is called stepmarriage.
That is to say, after the husband dies, he can marry his deceased husband's brother, uncle, uncle, and son. This son does not include his biological son.
The grassland outside the Great Wall is vast and vast. Yang Guang is overlooking from a high place. The grassland is blown by the wind and the waves are blowing. The scene is very beautiful.
Pei Ju on the side said: "Qimin has become powerful, so we must be careful. Depending on his age, we can choose one of his sons who is close to the Sui Dynasty and make him a young khan. He will give him a correct name so that he can inherit the throne in the future."
He's up to something strange.
Changsun Cheng was not happy. He and Qimin were close friends and had suffered together. He felt that Pei Ju's idea was to interfere in other people's family affairs and was inappropriate, so he said:
"Who will inherit the throne of Khan is not something we can control. Although the Turks surrendered to me, the Sui Dynasty, it was actually just an expedient measure forced by my superior power. The current situation is peaceful and it is better to maintain it than to interfere, otherwise unnecessary interference may occur. scourge.”
His suggestion is completely correct. Whoever Qimin wants to inherit can inherit. At the worst, we can just have a good relationship with the heir. Why bother with this matter?
Pei Ju smiled and said, "What Changsun said makes sense, but I worry too much. Let's take it one step at a time from now on."
"Don't dare. Pei Gong is also worried about the country." Changsun Cheng is of low rank, and he doesn't dare to offend Pei Ju easily. Even if he greets you with a smile, he also smiles when he insults you.
Yang Guang laughed: "Both of you are right to worry. However, at the moment, the people have surrendered and treated me very respectfully. It is really not appropriate to change it now. As for what will happen in the future, we will see the consequences."
After saying that, Yang Guang looked at Pei Ju: "I don't really live forever. Some things still have to be done by my descendants. What do you think, Shi Ju?"
"Your Majesty's achievements are unprecedented. I would like to ask, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, who has been here since the Qin and Han Dynasties?" Pei Ju said with a smile: "His Majesty is the only one."
Yang Guang laughed loudly.
Pei Ju knew that the emperor's words were implying something to him, but he did not respond directly.
Yu Wenshu also heard it, and felt very unhappy. As soon as he came outside the Great Wall, his position as the number one favorite was snatched away by Pei Ju. This old fox was even more flattering than him. He was really a cunning and cunning person.
It seems that the emperor is already leaning toward establishing the Qin King. Otherwise, he would not treat Pei Ju so favorably. First, he made his daughter the royal concubine, and now he made the right servant of Shangshu. What credit does he have? Aren’t you just good at flattering? So will I.
At this time, two memorials were sent to Yang Guang by Yang Da, the minister of Huangmen, Huangmen.
Yang Guang frowned and said: "I have given the King of Qin full authority to handle the affairs of the capital. What memorials does he have that he needs to send all the way to me?"
"They are not from the King of Qin. One is from King Guan, and the other is from Yan Bi, the Superintendent of Canal Construction. The two memorials arrived three days apart. Your Majesty is being worshiped by the people and it is not appropriate to read them, so I took them out now."
In fact, Yang Da had some thoughts in doing this. As a rule, the memorial was first submitted to the Menxia Province, and then the Menxia Province forwarded it to the emperor.
】
However, there are explanations for this report. Some memorials cannot be read by the subordinate ministers. They must be submitted to the emperor immediately, such as those of Yang Ming and Yang Jian, or urgent military intelligence reports.
But there are some you can watch, and if you watch them, you can play with your mind.
For example, Yan Pi's report was to sue the King of Qi, so presenting it to the emperor in private and presenting it to the emperor in person would have completely different effects.
There are two ministers in the province, Yang Da and Wei Zhen, both of whom are members of the Qin royal family.
Yang Guang was extremely smart and immediately realized that most of these two memorials were detrimental to King Qi, otherwise Yang Da would not have presented them in front of so many people.
He knew in his heart that brothers Yang Xiong and Yang Da were leaning towards the third child.
"Take it back to the tent and look at it when I have time," Yang Guang said calmly.
Damn it, don’t take the move. Yang Da felt helpless and quickly accepted the order: "Yes."
Pei Ju is also a man with a keen eye all over his body. Hearing this, he said, "What if these two people have urgent business to report? Your Majesty, why don't you take a look?"
Yang Guang was forced into this situation, so it was inappropriate not to look at it. Not to look at it would be neglecting the government and being ignorant. He did not want his reputation for diligence to be damaged.
So he nodded and took the memorial from King Guan first.
After reading it, Yang Guang threw it away. Pei Ju was one step ahead of Yu Wenshu and picked up the memorial in a hurry, but did not dare to read it.
Because the emperor didn't let him see it.
"Pass on my decree and order the King of Qin to immediately replace the post of Shangdang Governor, select a good minister to take office, and quickly suppress the bandits."
In Yang Xiong's memorial, he talks about rebels, but in his words, he talks about bandits. The two definitions are completely different.
No one can see the memorial, and they don’t know what is written on it. Why should the Shangdang prefect be replaced?
But everyone here is smart, don't ask why, just follow the emperor's wishes.
Su Wei quickly said: "Since bandits are rampant, we may lose the opportunity to choose a general to take office. We might as well use Linfen Prefect Qiao Zhongkui to temporarily replace the Dang Prefect and lead the army to suppress the bandits."
"That's it," Yang Guang nodded: "Yang Yue goes to draft the decree."
Yang Yue took the order, turned around and left.
Next, Yang Guang took the memorial letter of Yama Bina again. After reading it, he threw it away.
This time Yu Wenshu was well prepared, ran a little faster, and picked up the memorial early.
He also guessed that there might be words in the memorial that were not conducive to the King of Qi. After all, when the Tongji Canal was being built, Yu Wenkai had sued the King of Qi.
Everyone was waiting for the emperor to speak, but Yang Guang said nothing.
Yang Da sighed inwardly. It seemed that King Qi had not yet fallen. He and his subordinates could not reveal the contents of the memorial. This was a capital offense.
Niu Hong said: "Then how should Duke Qi, the former Shangdang governor, be resettled?"
The people present now were all top smart bosses. They had already guessed that Lu Yongji was unfavorable in suppressing the bandits, so much so that they alerted Yang Xiong to file a complaint in person.
Then this bandit is probably not an ordinary bandit.
Why not Yang Minggao? Because Lu Yongji and Yang Ming were relatives, it was inconvenient for Yang Ming to come forward. Besides, Yang Ming didn't need to complain. If he wanted to touch Lu Yongji, it was just a matter of one sentence. There was no need to ask Yang Guang for instructions.
Although Yang Gongren is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Niu Hong also has the right to participate in the election, so of course he has to ask his superiors for advice so that he can make arrangements.
It was inconvenient for Yang Gongren to ask because it was his father who complained.
Yang Guang said in a deep voice: "Let him go back to the capital to retire."
Okay, now everyone is basically sure that this is definitely not an ordinary bandit. If it is just a bandit, the emperor does not need to capture a prefect, and he is also a relative of the emperor.
The emperor refused to say that it would be easy to handle. They would write home to ask about the situation, and they would know sooner or later. As for the memorial letter of Yama, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and Yang Guang didn't even fart.
Next, after Yang Guang calmed down for a while, he led his ministers, protected by as many as 100,000 troops on the left and right wings, whipped his horses and galloped across the grassland, disappearing in the afterglow of the setting sun.
.......
If there is first, there will be second, and there will be third and fourth.
Before Kaifeng was wiped out, there was also civil unrest in Hejian County. Fortunately, it was very close to Zhuo County. The prefect Yuan Hongsi raised his arm and suppressed the civil unrest.
Although the civil unrest has been calmed down, Yang Wanshi was also frightened into a cold sweat. He was in charge of Hejian County. When the gang of thieves attacked the county seat, he was too weak. After all, he only had a few hundred people under his command.
He had a total of 80,000 civilians transferred here, and his memorial against Yu Wenshu was silent. However, his uncle Yang Yue wrote a letter and asked him to just spend it like this, and don't worry about it if it gets messy. He just thinks about how to save his life. Can.
Therefore, Yang Wanshi urgently recruited some horses from the people. In case of another civil uprising, he was always ready to run to Zhuojun.
Millions of people in Hebei have lost their lives because of a river, and there are mass graves everywhere around the canal.
The civilians who died on the river didn't even have a straw mat. The officers and soldiers would take the bodies away one by one, dig a hole and bury them hastily.
In some places, the food supply was insufficient, and some people even dug up newly buried corpses to satisfy their hunger.
Starting from Banzhu, it starts from Xinxiang, Ji County, Huaxian, Neihuang, Wei County, Daming, Guantao, Linxi, Qinghe, Wucheng, Dezhou, Wuqiao, Dongguang, Nanpi, Cangxian, and Qingxian, and arrives at Zhuo County and the eighteen counties along the way, covering a total of more than 1,900 miles, were all hells on earth, filled with tragedies.
The memorials of complaint flew to the capital like snowflakes, and Yang Ming read every one.
Putting the overall situation first, he couldn't respond, so he suffered from insomnia and couldn't sleep all night long.
