Chapter 47: I heard that Duke Sui is going to rebel?

?The envoy sent by the Anzhou General Manager Yuwen Liang had arrived in the capital, and the news spread throughout Chang'an City that day.

Half a month ago, the imperial court defeated the rebellion army in Yecheng. Yuchi Jiong, the general manager of Xiangzhou who raised an army to fight against Yang, took a firm foothold and began to fight back. He sent a number of reinforcements south to Henan and Huainan states to support his subordinates. The situation was in corruption.

The marching chief Liang Rui was ordered to attack the Yizhou chief Wang Qian who raised an army to rebel against Yang. Now the two sides are in a stalemate in Lizhou and don’t know if they will repeat the mistakes of Yecheng. Therefore, the Anzhou chief official who also defeated the imperial army surrendered and asked for peace this time, leaving the left Prime Minister Yang Jian, who had been in a drought for a long time, suffered a rain of drought.

If the Anzhou envoy can reach a compromise with the court (left prime minister) this time, both sides will quit, then Yang Jian will be free to deal with Yuchi Jiong's counterattack in the east.

Therefore, Yuwen Wen, as the envoy of Anzhou, walked on the streets of Chang'an City with great might after entering the city. Yuwen Shiwu, with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks behind him, and his skinny Zhang Yu became his two minions, looking at the beautiful ladies along the way with malicious intentions.

As for the honest and loyal Lin Youdi, it would be fine, but he would blush when he saw the woman's face.

Fortunately, Zheng Yi, the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office who was on an envoy to Anzhou, was with him, and he was trying to tease the young lady in the street. Yuwen Wen, who made a big fuss in Chang'an City, failed. Zheng Yi tried to persuade the plague god, Di Shiwen and others to rest in the Sifang Hall. Despite his fatigue, he rushed to the Duke of Sui and met Yang Jian with Huangfu Ji.

Sifang Pavilion, similar to the modern state guesthouse, is an inn house set up by the imperial court in the capital to receive envoys and merchants from various countries. In February of the second year of the Elephant, Turkic envoys came to Chang'an to discuss the matter of Princess Qianjin of the Dazhou Dazhou marrying the Turkic Khan, which was to live in Sifang Pavilion until the end of May this year welcoming Princess Qianjin to the Turkic Khan.

It is also the reason why the daughter-in-law married the Turks far away, that the left prime minister Yang Jian recalled the five kings of Zhao, Chen, Yue, Dai, and Teng back to Chang'an to attend the celebration and the funeral ceremony of the late emperor Yuwen Yun. However, now the daughter-in-law has married Yuwen Yun from the north and was buried in Dingling, but the five kings are still stranded in Chang'an.

Yuwen Wen's mansion in the capital has been sold by the old housekeeper as he ordered. Now he can only stay in Sifang Pavilion. The officials of Sifang Pavilion are of great responsibility to receive Anzhou envoys this time, and the officials of Sifang Pavilion dare not take it as a care of these old men.

Zhang Yu lived in Xiangyang City since he was a child. In his opinion, the most majestic city in the world is Xiangyang. But today he was shocked after seeing the majestic Chang'an City from afar. After entering the city, he was dazzled by the bustling and bustling "international first-class" metropolitan life.

Compared with Chang'an, Xiangyang is a small village that cannot be put on the table!

Then the sumptuous dinner in the inn opened his eyes. Although he was not qualified to eat at the main table with his master, the various kinds of dishes at the banquet for entertaining the followers also made the local buns look dazzling.

"Eat it, if you don't eat it, it's gone!" Yuwen Shiwu picked up food in one hand and held a chicken leg in the other hand, and the bowl was stuffed with a lot. Zhang Yu finally came to his senses and quickly moved his chopsticks. As he ate, tears flowed down.

If Brother Li was here too...

"Look at your cowardly!" Yuwen Shiwu sneered and stuffed a chicken leg into his bowl, "I will take you to see the world after a few days."

"There is also land, go together!"

Fortunately, Lin Youdi was a local person in Chang'an after all, and Zhang Yu was very excited when he heard this: "Take it seriously? Then where can we play tricks?"

"You two are still young, right? Then the three of us will go together!"

"Cough cough cough." Lin Youdi and Zhang Yu were so scared that they quickly ate the rice and didn't dare to say anything more.

After drinking and eating, Yuwen Wen and his three subordinates were about to break out of the door, but were stopped by the officials of Sifang Pavilion. After all, they persuaded these ill-intentioned guys to go back to their room to rest.

The journey was hard, Yuwen Wen and others fell asleep after taking a shower, but the Sui Duke's Mansion was a different scene.

"In this way, Yu Wenliang really made a point of making peace?" Yang Jian sat on the top and pondered. Zheng Yi, Huangfu Ji and a group of confidants sat on the bottom.

"According to Xiaguan's investigation, Anzhou's troops were in short supply, and he would not be able to withdraw his troops to go north to Jingzhou or attack Liang State in the west." Zheng Yi said with great affirmation, and Huangfu Ji also added some, especially Chen State on the south bank of the Yangtze River was waiting for An, and Huangzhou had problems and was able to 'steal'.

Previously, the Anzhou army and the imperial army led by the marshal Wang Yi of the marshal Wang Yi transferred most of the troops in Huangzhou. The Chen State took the opportunity to capture Qizhou and Yizhou under the jurisdiction of Huangzhou General Administration. Later, the Anzhou army solved the problem of Xiangyang sending reinforcements to support Huangzhou. The Chen army plundered the people of the two states and retreated back to Jiangnan.

With Chen State in Anzhou, some of the troops were restrained. Unless they could take down Yingzhou, the opposite Chen State, opposite Huangzhou, but that would lead to a tug-of-war with Chen State, it would be more than worth the loss. What's more, the Xiangyang navy lost serious losses and would not be able to recover its original strength for a while, and Anzhou could only face Chen State.

"Since that's the case, I'll be relieved." Yang Jian nodded after hearing the two of them's analysis, "What do you think about the release of Yuchi Shun's family?"

Zheng Yi and Huangfu Ji looked at each other and said, "Yuchi Shun is optional for Xiangzhou. Killing or not killing has nothing to do with the overall situation. Even if you go to Anzhou, it will not become a climate. The officials think that you can do a favor to Anzhou."

"With Yuwen Wen here, Yuwen Liang will not repeat it for several months. He can free up his hands to clean up Henan and Huainan rebellion."

The Yuzhou General Administration east of Jingzhou and north of Anzhou General Administration is now in chaos. Li Hui, the governor of Shenzhou, responded to Yuchi Jiong's call to raise an army to rebel Yang and captured the prefectures and counties in the north. Shenzhou and Anzhou General Administration are adjacent to them. If they are colluding with them, let alone the empty military force, they are afraid that even the Yuzhou General Administration will be in trouble.

The conditions discussed by Zheng Yi and Huangfu Ji in Anlu were not as expected by Yang Jian, and they were also the bottom line set before departure. The contents set by both sides were also what Yang Jian needed. The plan for the present is to quickly set it and then promote it to stabilize people's hearts.

"Let them come to see the minister tomorrow to settle the matter." Yang Jian made a final decision, "As for Yuchi Shun, you can put it on, but you can't let this opportunity go in vain."

An aide reminded that tomorrow is a court meeting. Will the meeting with Anzhou envoys be postponed for a day? Yang Jian thought for a moment and asked, "How are Yuwen Wen and Di Shiwen doing things?"

......

The next day, Tai Chi Hall, a court meeting.

The little emperor Yuwen Chan in the hall sat upright on the dragon bed, and the civil and military ministers were placed on the left and right. The left prime minister Yang Jian, who was ordered to assist in the administration, stood at the head of the young emperor as the head of the ministers.

The court meeting began by following the procedures and the civil and military officials reported all matters to the emperor and the left prime minister of the regent. The seven-year-old Yuwen Chan tried his best to show off his seriousness and listened to his grandfather's handling of political affairs curiously.

Yuwen Chan's biological mother was not the current queen mother Yang Lihua. His biological mother Zhu Manyue and Chen Yueyi and Yuan Leshang became nuns after his father Yuwen Yong died, with the name Fajing. As the original empress of the late emperor, Yang Lihua was Yuwen Chan's legitimate mother, so Yang Jian became the grandfather of the young emperor as Yang Lihua's father.

"Xuan, Xiyang County Duke Yuwen Wen met with him!"

"Xuan, the Anzhou General Administration Office Department will meet Di Shiwen!"

Outside the hall, two men in court robbed their swords, took off their shoes and stepped into the hall gate, walked forward to the steps and knelt down and said loudly: "I am accused, Yuwen Wen/Yu Di Shiwen, see Your Majesty!"

"Secretary, Yuwen Wen/Yu Di Shiwen, see the left prime minister!"

After the emperor said "same body", the two of them "thank you" and stood up and stood still. Yuwen Chan looked at him curiously, especially the Xiyang County Duke Yuwen Wen. According to the seniority of the royal family, Yuwen Wen was his cousin.

There are many uncles and brothers of Yuwen Chan in the royal family. This fifteen-year-old cousin Yuwen Wen gave him a special feeling. As for the differences, Yuwen Chan couldn't tell me.

After a routine etiquette of the monarch and ministers, Yuwen Wen and his uncle Di Shiwen began to enter the role:

"My minister, Yuwen Wen/Yu Di Shiwen was ordered by the command of the Anzhou General Manager Yuwen Liang to enter the court. He apologized for the war in Huangzhou and Xiangzhou in May and June!" After saying that, the two knelt down and kowtowed, and the civil and military officials heard the words and buzzed.

Yuwen Liang, the general manager of Anzhou, really gave in! He sent an envoy to apologize to the emperor and the left prime minister in the hall!

"quiet!"

As the etiquette officials shouted loudly, all the civil and military officials calmed down, and they looked at how the Left Prime Minister and the Anzhou envoy continued to act.

Nonsense, everyone guessed that both sides agreed and the result was just a formality now. The Anzhou envoy accused him of guilt in the hall to give Yang Jian face. Then the emperor pardoned the Anzhou chief manager without guilt and gave him face. Isn’t this a big battle just for the people of the world to show that the two sides shook hands and made peace?

As for the marshal Wang Yi and other generals who died in battle, they laughed. The current situation is just a bliss. Their families pray that the Left Prime Minister would pacify Anzhou in the future and will naturally be a hero who will die in the country.

The deputy envoy general manager, Di Shiwen, read the apology form of Anzhou general manager's "Womb-crying" with expressionless face. The content was boring and made people drowsy. After finally finishing reading, it was time to make Xiyang County Duke perform.

Seeing Yuwen Wen's crying and complaining about how the people in Anzhou were deceived and so they were at the court, they also said that the general manager Yuwen Liang felt so guilty that he could not sleep at night, and the left prime minister Yang Jian looked like he was about to fall asleep, and the ministers kept complaining.

Let's finish the show quickly. After the show, everyone will go back to take a break. It's a bastard. I went to court early in the morning and it's really a bad thing.

Especially the dialogue of "Sunset County Duke" is so stiff and stuttering, is it because he forgot the words? Have you memorized the lines well? It's smarter to send you to the mortgage!

Zheng Yi stood in the queue of court officials and wiped the sweat from his forehead from time to time. Last night, Boss Yang Jian decided to let Yuwen Wen and Di Shiwen go to court to act today. He made up a dialogue with Huangfu Ji and let the two prepare for the two of them overnight. Now they are finally ready to finish the show.

That night, he patted his chest in front of Yang Jian to ensure that Yuwen Wen was sure to be reliable!

The drama was finally finished, and the emperor pardoned the "unintentional mistakes" of Anzhou. Yuwen Wen said that Anzhou firmly obeyed the leadership of the left prime minister. Seeing that the court meeting was about to close in a place called "Victory", Yuwen Wen suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, I have some doubts and I want to ask the left Prime Minister, Duke Sui, to give me some tips."

"Please speak." Yang Jian said, resisting the urge to yawn.

Yuwen Wen bowed to Yang Jian with a clear cough: "I heard that the Duke of Sui is going to rebel?"
