Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty
Chapter 139
From Daxing in Xijing to Luoyang in the east, countless people were accused of Yang Xuangan's rebellion, and countless innocent people were implicated. Those who were beheaded were shocking, causing a bloody storm and panic.
After all, from the officers and soldiers to the common people, there are so many people involved that it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate. When the old Prime Minister Su Wei saw this, he was extremely worried. He did not dare to give advice, so he went to Qianyang Palace to ask for an audience with Empress Xiao.
Since Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Queen Xiao Jun has been sitting in the palace for a long time and rarely asking about the affairs of the world. Just as Su Wei was talking about current affairs, he became a little curious. Su Wei bowed and said:"The imperial court severely punished the thieves and beheaded as many as 30,000 people, implicating countless people from the three and nine tribes. If we can pardon all the people and use them for labor, they can serve the imperial court and put down other civil disturbances as soon as possible." Empress Xiao clicked her nails and said,"Old Prime Minister is talking to the Ai family about these things. Could it be that the civil unrest in the world is not limited to Yang Xuangan's group?""
"Forgive me for speaking frankly, but now there are no less than ten people who dare to clamor to proclaim themselves kings."
"Come and listen to what the old prime minister has to say"
"Nowadays, thieves are killing more and more people. To count, there are Liu Yuanjin from Yuhang, Wang Bo from Changbai, Meng Rang from Qijun, Zhai Rang from Wagang, Lu Mingxing from Dongjun, Lu Mingyue from Hebei, Sun Xuanya from Bohai, Guo Fangyu from Beihai, Qinghe Zhang Jincheng, Hejian Geqian, Pingyuan Hao Xiaode, Qinghe Gao Shida"
"Um……"Queen Xiao listened in silence for a long time and listed the large-scale rebel army. Su Wei lowered his head and turned his eyes around, not daring to raise his head.
After being embarrassed for a long time, Empress Xiao silently asked:"Why didn't the old prime minister directly remonstrate with the emperor, but instead remonstrated with the Ai family?"
Su Wei deliberately trembled his hands and said tremblingly:"Now the emperor is proud and arrogant, and he is determined to conquer the east. , don’t like others to give advice the most. How dare an old minister offend Long Yan. That’s why he boldly came to ask the Queen to forward it."
"Alas." Xiao Jun sighed with emotion:"Old Prime Minister, you are loyal and you are a veteran of two dynasties. How come you don't even have the courage to remonstrate? If the ministers cannot persuade the emperor, how can the Ai family persuade him? Su Wei said:"
Since ancient times, there have been seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards of the royal family. It is not surprising." Your Majesty is the only one who attaches great importance to meritorious service and despises female sex. For many years, the palace has been entirely dependent on the empress, with only a few concubines, which shows your trust. Therefore, this matter must be remonstrated by the empress.
Seeing that Su Wei was old, Empress Xiao showed mercy, nodded and said,"Okay, let the Ai family report this matter to the emperor.""
"Thank you, Empress, for being a thousand years old."
When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty returned to the palace, he suddenly heard a sweet and melodious sound of the piano. Yang Guang walked softly and slowly to the cabinet. Through the curtain, he saw Xiao Jun playing the piano and playing music. Today, Xiao Jun was different from the past, dressed like a fairy. , with her hair in a high bun, pink face and peach blossoms, and pretty clothes, elegant, provocative, and beautiful.
Emperor Sui Yang thought that he had been married to Xiao Jun for many years, and it had been a long time since he had seen the queen dressed so beautifully. Emperor Sui Yang With a smile, she raised the curtain and walked into the cabinet. Empress Xiao quickly stood up and bowed down.
"The queen is so elegant tonight, her makeup is pretty, her charm is charming, and the sound of the piano is sweet. She is probably waiting for a close friend."Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said.
Empress Xiao's eyes were smiling, her white teeth were exposed, and her pink lips were slightly parted. She was so charming and beautiful, and she said:"Your Majesty has been conquering the east and west, and is tired of government affairs. It is rare for him to be favored. Now that the rebellion has been put down, I dare to play the harp for fun."
"okay. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was overjoyed and said happily:"Please ask the queen to play the piano, and I will compose a poem and a tune. Let's have a good night together with dragons and phoenixes dancing around tonight.""
Seeing the joy of the emperor's face, Queen Xiao was also full of interest. She played the harp and the music rose to the level. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty stood up after hearing the sound, lifted his robe and sleeves, sang and danced, and even impromptu sang:"I feel weak when I step slowly, and my face is graceful and charming.
" The sleeves are dancing in Huainan, and the precious socks are on the waist of the palace.
After the song, Xiao Jun moistened his pen with ink, wrote down the poems written by Yang Guang one by one, and said:"Your Majesty, what are the names of the few poems you just sang?"
"Just name it"Happy Spring Outing Song". After Empress
Xiao finished writing, she asked again:"Your Majesty put down Yang Xuangan's rebellion and got rid of internal troubles. Why don't you write a poem to express your feelings?"
Emperor Sui Yang shook his head and said,"What does it mean to put down Yang Xuangan's rebellion?" Compared with my achievements in conquering the south and the north, this is of no consequence and is not worth mentioning.
Queen Xiao asked:"How can you say it's not worth mentioning?" Nowadays, thieves and bandits are everywhere and causing trouble in various states. I still know about it. Hasn’t Your Majesty not heard about it?"
"I don’t want to hear it, who dares to talk nonsense? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty suddenly smiled slightly:"Today's Yaxing, the Queen said, it doesn't matter if you come.""
Queen Xiao put down her imperial pen, walked a few steps forward, sat down and nestled beside Emperor Sui Yang, pretending to be coquettish, and advised:"Your Majesty has been at the border for a long time, and civil unrest has occurred one after another in the pass. If there is a second or third one, Yang Xuangan went to the Eastern Capital to kill him, fearing that his concubine would never be able to see His Majesty again."
If others had said this, Emperor Sui Yang would have been furious. But now that the beauty is with him and the love between husband and wife is so deep, it made Emperor Sui Yang think deeply and said,"The queen is so worried, how many thieves can there be in this world?"
"I heard that thieves were rampant from Qingzhou to Jizhou and started to rise up. When my concubine returned to the Eastern Capital, she also encountered bandits from Wagang. This was by no means groundless."
After saying this, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty became solemn between his eyebrows, and said:"Don't worry, queen, I will convene the ministers tomorrow to discuss how to deal with the bandits in Qingzhou and Jizhou." Seeing that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty promised to find ways to quell the civil unrest, Queen Xiao's heart was relieved. This is: the queen played the music in the palace, and her wisdom inspired the emperor to learn from the virtuous. If there was no continuous war in Korea, why would there be a need to fight against banditry this year..
Two days later, Su Wei, Yu Wenshu, Pei Yun, and Yu Shiji were called into the imperial study to discuss strategies to quell the rebellion. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty asked:"I heard that people from all over the world were rebelling and taking risks. I In order to pacify the thieves in Qingzhou and Jizhou first, do you have any good strategies?"
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed his mind about conquering Goguryeo. Knowing that the civil strife had been quelled, Su Wei, the old prime minister, thought that Empress Xiao's influence must have played a role, so he boldly said:"Yang Xuangan's rebellion has been eliminated. , the number of people implicated is indeed incalculable, why don’t Your Majesty pardon those who are not implicated, and recruit them as soldiers to serve the court. The old minister thinks that all the thieves in the world can be recruited in this way to replenish the supply of soldiers."
Su Wei advocated peaceful methods and recruited thieves, but Emperor Sui Yang glanced at Su Wei and said nothing after thinking. In fact, Yang Guang, who was fighting in all directions, had never heard of the strategy of recruiting peace and peace, and did not take Su Wei's suggestion into account at all. In his eyes,
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"Recruiting peace means compromising. How can the mighty Sui Dynasty negotiate peace with the rebels? joke."
Yu Wenshu, who was standing next to him, looked at Emperor Sui Yang's face and thought to himself that the emperor must have said this because he did not want to recruit troops. He took the opportunity to say:"Your Majesty's civil and military skills are unparalleled throughout the ages. How can you make peace with thieves? I advocate the deployment of troops. Suppress thieves"
"Um."Emperor Sui Yang deeply acquiesced at this time. Seeing the emperor's approval, Pei Yun hurriedly said:"I also advocate the use of troops to suppress thieves, regardless of killing them. Otherwise, where is the power of God?"
Yu Shiji also flattered him and said:"In the eyes of all countries, the Sui Dynasty was already a powerful dynasty. It couldn't even wipe out a bandit. How could it be considered a dynasty? I also advocated for the annihilation."
The veteran minister Su Wei saw that the three important ministers only catered to the emperor's wishes and stood aside without saying a word. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not even look at Su Wei and said:"I am determined to send troops to suppress the rebels. He immediately sent an order to protect his son and return to Qingzhou to encircle and suppress the bandits along the Yongji Canal."All the ministers bowed and received the decree.
……
Shan Shuo, the naval commander, came to protect his son and put down Yang Xuangan's rebellion. He was promoted to the Duke of Guo for his military merits. Originally, Lai Hu'er was practicing navy in Donglai, but this time he was ordered to return and go to Qijun, Qingzhou (today's Jinan, Shandong) to participate in the suppression of bandits. All the way eastward, unimpeded. Lai Huer ordered his sixth son Lai Zheng to be the vanguard and open the way ahead.
Seeing that Qijun was approaching, he walked to Funiu Mountain. Suddenly, the grass and trees on the mountain swayed, a dull gong sounded, and birds flew away. On the hillside not far away, a group of mountain people emerged from the hillside, each holding a weapon and swarming over. Blocked the way.
The Sixth Young Master came to rein in his horse and stopped. He stood in front of the spear team and watched intently. However, he saw that the leader of the general had a black face, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, a beard as sharp as a thorn, hair spread across his shoulders, clothed in cloth, and a black horse under his crotch. The dragon chases the wind horse, with a simple sword in his hand. The minions on the left and right are dressed in different costumes. They are all poor people who have gathered to revolt.
When I came to take a look, I was shocked and said: What a bunch of wild thieves. I saw the black-faced leader at the head, riding up the road, shouting loudly:"Meng Rang, the leader of Funiu Mountain Stronghold, is here! Leave the weapons and horses, Rao Er will not die, otherwise I will kill no one with my sword!"
Laizheng sneered. , replied with a smile:"This general has seen tens of millions of people on the battlefield. Why should I be afraid of you, the thieves, the mob, and the ants?"
Meng Rang, the leader of Funiu Mountain's stronghold, gathered thousands of people here. Killing officials to benefit the people, killing the rich and giving to the poor, made the local officials fearful. Now when they saw the Sixth Young Master coming to look at his young age and speaking frivolously, he was furious in his heart and asked:"White-faced baby, who are you?""
"I am Rongguo Gong Liulang, and I am here to correct you!"
"Ha ha! Meng Rang was overjoyed and shouted:"What kind of birdman is Duke Rongguo?" Today I will kill Duke Rong’s son to establish my reputation!"Meng Rang waved his sword and urged his horse to fight.
There was no need to say anything, so he rode out to fight. They fought at the foot of Funiu Mountain. The two fought for seven or eight rounds. Meng Rang was no match for him. He was careless and was swung by Lai. After being stabbed in the arm, Meng Rang screamed and turned around and ran away.
At this time, the leader of the rear team, General Hu'er, and his deputy Zhou Fashang had arrived in front of the formation. Seeing Meng Rang's defeat, he came to Hu'er to deliver the order to beat drums and advance, and the officers and soldiers fought out together. , fought in a melee with the minions from Funiu Mountain.
The Sixth Young Master came to show off his strong martial arts skills, and he suddenly killed the minions from the left and right, and defeated the minions. Meng Rang led a group of minions, and when he saw the number of officers and soldiers in the rear group, he knew that he was not the right one. The opponent turned around and fled in panic.
When the thousands of minions blocking the road saw that the leader of the village, Meng Rang, was wounded, they rallied and became unstoppable. They retreated into the mountains one after another, broke into pieces, fled in all directions, and wandered into the mountains and forests.中.
The Funiu Mountain uprising army was defeated and fled. When Lai Zheng returned to the front of the army, Rong Guo Gong Lai Huer had already led a large group of people to arrive. Lai Zheng bowed and said:"I would like to report to my father, commander, the thieves have entered the mountain and the terrain is unknown. Didn't dare to pursue"
"The thieves here are not in the imperial register and cannot be willing to fight.Send an order to withdraw the troops."Lai Hu'er gathered his troops and horses. He didn't dare to fight in Funiu Mountain. He was in a hurry, so he led his troops to the Qijun camp.
Another day later, the army arrived at the Qijun camp. Zhang Xutuo, the chief general guarding Qijun, , Deputy General Jia Wuben has been waiting for a long time. He has been out of the camp for ten miles and is waiting to greet him.
All the generals greeted each other politely and gathered in the main tent of the Chinese army. Zhang Xutuo bowed and said:"Rongguo Gong has come thousands of miles away, and there will be mistakes in the end." Yuan Ying, the journey has been smooth, right?"
Lai Hu'er said:"To be honest, along the way, I encountered thieves from Funiu Mountain. I never thought that there were so many thieves on the mountain. It can be seen that thieves are becoming more and more serious in the world."
"The general has received a quick report. The thieves in Funiu Mountain have fled eastward and defected to the rebel Wang Bo in Changbai. Zhang Xutuo stood up and said to the generals:"Wang Bo started his army last year and robbed houses everywhere. Now he has gathered more than 30,000 thieves. Now that Meng Rang has been defeated and has gone to defect, it is time to join forces to encircle and suppress him.""
Zhang Xutuo ordered someone to unfold the map and pointed out:"Changbai land is in the east of Qi County, close to mountains and rivers, and is a place for military use.
Lai Hu'er nodded and said,"I have enough naval forces under my command to attack the thieves by both land and water."
Zhang Xutuo was overjoyed when he heard that Laihuer had mobilized the navy. While they were discussing, suddenly a scout came to report. A school captain hurried into the tent, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said,"Urgent report!" The magistrate of Zhangqiu County urgently reported that three thieves, Wang Bo of Changbai, Hao Xiaode of Pingyuan, and Sun Xuanya of Bohai, had gathered in Changbai. The number of thieves had reached 100,000."After hearing this report, everyone was stunned. This is what it is: one hundred thousand people and one hundred thousand soldiers, and the beacon uprising has brought chaos to the world.
However, the Sui lord has lost his way, so Jiuzhou is restless.
