Chapter 497
Li Min was beaten without half of her teeth. After returning home, half of her face swollen like a pig's head. Yuwen Eying had never suffered such a big loss. She thought of her emperor's daughter. Although she was not well born with a fetus, she was replaced by her grandfather when she was born in Northern Zhou, but she was much better than other princesses who lost their country.
After all, the new emperor was her grandfather, and her mother would not be the Empress Dowager of Northern Zhou, so she could still be the princess of the Sui Dynasty. She had no title of princess, but she was no different from a princess.
Now, her husband has been beaten like this, and she has been insulted in public. When she thinks of the Shandong military men holding her hands and feet, she feels uncomfortable all over.
How can you swallow this if something happens?
Yuwen Eying went into the palace directly.
With her status, it is not difficult to enter the palace. She first went to Queen Xiao to cry and beg her aunt to make the decision. When Empress Xiao heard this, she was shocked. Brother Luo Cheng had just made great contributions, so why did she do such a thing as soon as she entered Beijing?
"Don't cry anymore, I'll go see Your Majesty now."
"I must meet Your Majesty, and I must seek justice."
Xiao had no choice but to take Yuwen Eying with him.
Yang Guang was looking at the map, looking at the Liaodong map.
This time Yang Xuangan rebelled, forcing him to end the second expedition of Goguryeo early. Now that the rebellion has been put down, he is studying the map and preparing to re-exprove.
There, Gao Jianwu, the new Goguryeo king, has sent a letter of surrender.
He cried and said that before, Gao Yuan Wudao disobeyed the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and now he succeeded to the throne, willing to seek peace, etc. Yang Guang certainly would not pay attention to this kind of surrender. If he was no longer able to fight in the east, he might take over this surrender bill, which would be considered as finding a way for himself.
But since the situation is now very good and the rebellion has been quelled, the Sui Dynasty occupied the four counties of Liaodong, and then continued the eastern expedition, and the destruction of Goguryeo is just around the corner. Why should we agree to his surrender at this time?
Yang Guang even refused to admit that Gao Jianwu, the king of Goguryeo, was Gao Yuan, and Gao Yuan was now in Luoyang City and was his surrendered minister and captured.
Since Gao Yuan was captured, he has performed quite respectfully, so Yang Guang has already made Gao Yuan the Marquis of Gongshu. Every time a foreign envoy comes to court, Yang Guang will send someone to summon Gao Yuan to drink and treat guests. Yang Guang has many of them with the same status as Gao Yuan.
For example, the prince Murongshun of Tuyuhun, the Chuluo Khan of the Western Turks, the King of Liuqiu, and the King of Linyi were all foreign kings who were summoned to the court after being defeated and were not allowed to return.
Yang Guang didn't kill these people. Every time a Gentile came, he would take them out to decorate his storefront.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is here."
Yang Guang put down the map in his hand, and Empress Xiao was already coming over with a bowl of iced grapes.
"Your Majesty, don't take a break for such a hot day, don't get tired of your body. These are the grapes I prepared for Your Majesty. I've used ice to relieve the heat."
When the emperor saw Empress Xiao so considerate, he couldn't help but smile.
In fact, Yang Guang is still quite dedicated. Although his father is not as good as his lifelong child with Queen Dugu, as the king of a country, although Yang Guang also has concubines in his harem, there are not many, only five or six, and he is not as good as ordinary princes and princes.
Moreover, although there are some concubines in the harem, he is less favored. Most of the time, he still likes to be with Empress Xiao, who is three years older than him.
The couple got married early, and now they have been married for about 30 years. Since the earliest King of Jin, Xiao has been with him. The couple worked together to achieve this today.
"Where are you looking at the map again?" Xiao put down the grapes and helped the emperor clean up the table.
"Well, now Yang Ni has been settled, and I plan to seize the time to conquer Goguryeo again."
"It's summer now, and the weather is so hot, so it's not suitable for military use, right?"
"Indeed, it is difficult to use large-scale troops in Liaodong this year, but I am considering that I can send Luo Cheng to take over as the prefect of Liaodong and let him control the troops of the six counties in Liaodong and western Liaoning. There is no need to send another troops to go there. Luo Cheng can act as a camera. If you have the chance, you can send troops to take Anshi first. In this way, from Xincheng to Liaodong to Anshi, Jian'an and Lushun, all will be opened. After next spring, you can launch several more troops and reach the city of the country, and then you will destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop."
Xiao smiled behind him, but he was not very interested in these conquests.
After packing up the table, the queen helped the emperor knead his shoulders.
"Your Majesty, your general just now did something." As he said that, he told me that Luo Cheng beat Li Min in front of Yang Su's house.
When Yang Guang heard this, he frowned.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yuwen was crying. If there was no such thing, he wouldn't have come to the palace to cry. But I think the matter is definitely not what she said. There is probably something inside. Your Majesty might as well comfort Yuwen first, and then send someone to investigate it carefully before talking about it."
"Well, Queen, you are right. If you listen to both sides, you will be clear, and if you listen to them, you will be convinced. However, Luo Cheng is really capable of causing trouble. He just arrived in Luoyang and had not seen others yet, so he did this."
"Actually, Your Majesty is not too angry. Young people are always impulsive. However, I have observed Luo Siye before. He is still a relatively steady person, and Luo Cheng is not too bad."
After thinking about it, Yang Guang thought it would be better to see Luo Cheng in person.
"Come here, summon Luo to set up a horse and come to the palace to see me."
Empress Xiao whispered, "That I will retreat first."
"No, you're here to help me observe this guy. I know that you are careful and more unique in your eyes."
"It's inconvenient."
"What's inconvenience? I didn't summoned him in the Golden Palace of the previous dynasty. It's okay here, there are not so many etiquette and rules."
In less than half an hour, Luo Cheng responded to the call.
The first time he met you, he went to take a shower and change his clothes.
He took off his armor and robe, changed into a purple robe, jade belt, and a purple ribbon and gold seal.
As the eunuch came to the palace, he turned left and right, and finally stepped into a hall and saw the emperor in the hall.
Luo Cheng followed the rules he had given to him and did not dare to look up and stare at the emperor. He just took a look at the moment he entered the hall, and then immediately lowered his head.
At that glance, he could see clearly that the emperor was nearly fifty years old, and although his hair and beard were still black, his face was already a bit graceful. However, his appearance was pretty good, especially his temperament was very good.
There seemed to be a graceful and luxurious woman sitting next to the queen, who looked very young, and I don’t know if she was thirty or forty years old. She was very elegant and feminine.
He guessed that it was Empress Xiao.
"Men Luo Cheng pays homage to the Supreme!"
Praise and praise and praise is the duty of a minister. Unless you have reached a certain qualification, you may be granted the qualification to praise and worship and worship by the emperor.
"Luo Cheng, raise your head."
