The capital of Sui Dynasty flourished.
This was the most prosperous and prosperous place in the entire Sui Dynasty. As the capital, it had a large number of people coming and going.
At this moment, a fast horse galloped into the city, causing an uproar among the surrounding people, wondering what was going on.
——
In the imperial study room.
Yang Jian is handling government affairs. As the founding king of the Sui Dynasty, he is still very diligent.
After all, there is no doubt about his ability to end the troubled times in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and reunite the world.
Ultimately, the biggest problem in his life was that he chose the wrong successor. Otherwise, the Sui Dynasty is prosperous today, and even if there are various hidden dangers, it will not perish in the second generation.
But from Yang Jian's perspective, Yang Guang is indeed the most capable among his sons.
Looking at the reports sent from various places, Yang Jian smiled on his face. Today's world is stable and improving, and such a prosperous and prosperous era, which appeared under his rule, will definitely be remembered in the annals of history.
At this moment, the sound of urgent footsteps coming from outside the hall attracted Yang Jian's attention.
A forbidden soldier appeared in Yang Jian's eyes, his steps were urgent, as if something terrible had happened.
Yang Jian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Why is it so urgent? How is it appropriate to make such a noise in the palace?"
The Imperial Guard breathed a sigh of relief, saluted and said:
"Your Majesty, Tang Bi, the envoy of Jinan Jiedu, reported urgently that the patron king led troops to encircle and suppress the rebels, and died at the hands of the rebels. Please send troops and horses quickly to destroy the rebels!"
Yang Jian, who had a relatively calm expression at first, upon hearing these words, his pupils suddenly shrank and he said in disbelief:
"What? What did you say happened to the patron king?"
The Imperial Guard answered cautiously:
"The patron king died at the hands of the rebels!"
"impossible!"
Yang Jian shouted angrily:
"The emperor's younger brother has superb martial arts skills. He guards Dengzhou and has strong soldiers and horses under his command. How could he die at the hands of the rebels..."
Listening to Yang Jian's scolding, the imperial guards were trembling and did not dare to refute. After a while, Yang Jian, who was frightened and angry, finally calmed down. He took a deep breath and said:
"Where is the urgent report? Why haven't you submitted it yet?"
A chamberlain presented the report to Yang Jian. The Sui Dynasty Supreme Emperor squinted his eyes slightly to check the content of the report. During this period, his expression was uncertain.
After a while, Yang Jian could no longer bear it and said angrily:
"Impossible, but how could three rebels defeat an army of 100,000 and kill the emperor's brother?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
I don’t know how long the silence lasted. Everyone in the hall felt that even the air was oppressive.
Finally, Yang Jian raised his head and said:
"Come here, send a horse to Jinan Mansion to find out the matter quickly. In addition, summon Gao Jun and Yang Su to the palace to discuss matters."
The Imperial Guard took the order and left.
But Yang Jian's eyes always stayed on the report, and he said nothing for a long time.
Although Yang Jian heard the news in disbelief at the beginning, when he saw Tang Bi's urgent report with his own eyes, he knew that the matter could not be false.
What really made him unimaginable was that there were only three rebels, and they defeated Yang Lin's 100,000-strong army and killed him on the spot. How on earth was this done?
Could it be that Tang Bi was talking nonsense?
But soon, Yang Jian rejected this idea. Just because Tang Bi sent someone an urgent report, it doesn't mean that he can't investigate it. Whether the information is true or not can be known once he investigates it.
At the same time, regardless of the specific situation, as long as Yang Lin is really dead, the matter will not be that simple.
After all, Yang Lin is not an ordinary military general. He is first of all Yang Jian's brother. During the establishment of the Great Sui Dynasty, he made great military exploits. He was like a pillar of the Great Sui Dynasty and was named the patron king.
Therefore, Yang Lin represented not only a prince, but also a representative figure of the Sui Dynasty military.
Now this news only shocked Yang Jian. When the news spreads, the whole world will be shocked.
This is Yang Lin's influence.
——
Not long after.
After receiving the news, Gao Jiong and Yang Su rushed to the palace. They couldn't help but be a little curious as to what happened to make His Majesty so anxious.
Nowadays, the Sui Dynasty is prosperous. Although there are some mistakes, it does not affect the overall situation. It should be fine!
Wait for the two of them to enter the censor's room.
From a distance, the two of them could see something strange about Yang Jian, as if something big had really happened.
"My minister Gao Jun (Yang Su) pays homage to His Majesty."
The two of them bowed their hands and saluted, not daring to neglect. It had been many years since the Sui Dynasty was established, and Yang Jian could be said to have great kindness and power.
After hearing what the two said, Yang Jian finally came to his senses. He didn't waste any words. He waved the report to the chamberlain and said loudly to the two:
"Zhaoxuan, Chudao, take a look at this report!"
Gao Jun and Yang Su were both important officials of the Sui Dynasty and Yang Jian's confidants. He did not hide anything.
And this matter is too big to be hidden.
Now the news is sent to Daxing City first, and maybe it will spread throughout the world soon.
Just a matter of time.
Gao Jun and Yang Su looked at each other, and both of them were a little surprised. When the memorial arrived in front of them, they carefully checked it and did not dare to neglect it in the slightest.
It doesn't matter if you don't read it. After reading the report, both Gao Jiong and Yang Su's expressions changed drastically.
"Your Majesty, is this news true?"
Gao Jiong couldn't help but asked in surprise.
Yang Jian nodded slowly and then said:
"The emperor's younger brother is guarding Dengzhou. If nothing happens, how dare Tang Bi talk nonsense here?"
After getting the exact answer from Yang Jian, Gao Jiong took a deep breath and quickly replied:
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Someone should be sent immediately to investigate thoroughly. At the same time, generals should be dispatched to rectify the troops and horses, and be ready to send troops to Shandong to wipe out the rebels at any time.
Although there are only three rebels in the report, they may not give up after killing their patron king. If we ignore them and wait for them to rise up and gain power, it will be even more detrimental to the court. "
Gao Yan quickly put forward his own suggestions. He felt that Yang Lin's information was somewhat outrageous.
It's not like Gao Jun and Yang Su have never seen the decapitation of generals among thousands of troops.
But it was a confrontation between two armies, and the general seized the opportunity to kill the enemy general. Is there ever a story about three people charging directly into an army of 100,000 people and taking down the general?
This is too incredible.
However, since Tang Bi wrote this information in the report, it may not necessarily be false.
So, we still need to check first.
If the rebels were strong, but Tang Bi concealed the news and exonerated himself, wouldn't it be a mistake for the court's troops?
Yang Jian nodded slightly and said:
"I have already arranged this matter. Unexpectedly, in today's prosperous Sui Dynasty, there would be rebels who came out to cause trouble. If the news is true, I will definitely capture these rebels and punish them with death."
Although Yang Jian's tone was calm, both Gao Jun and Yang Su could feel Yang Jian's anger.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Jian continued:
"I have decided to send troops to clean up the rebel bandits in Shandong, but I want to hear your opinions on who can take on this important task and lead the elite of the court to eliminate the rebellion."
Yang Jian glanced sharply, and both of them fell into deep thought.
