Chapter 328

.“Twenty-seven thousand!



Yang Guang couldn't help but be shocked by this number.

It started in the seventh year of the dog industry.

No matter it is the peasant rebels who have risen from all walks of life in the Central Plains, or the noble rebels like Yang Xuangan, no one can reach the number of 270,000 troops. (Update the latest chapter of this book)...

Even those peasant soldiers, which were known as one hundred thousand, were mostly just family members, and there were still many mobs after being added to the family. However, Yang Guang knew that Chen Kefu was not a peasant army, and his Liaodong army was not a mob. Chen Kefu was the eighth marshal of the Great Sui Dynasty and the third marshal. In terms of fighting skills, he could definitely be ranked among the top three in the Great Sui Dynasty. The Liaodong army under his command was definitely comparable to the powerful troops such as the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, the Xiaoguo Army, the Huainan Army, and the Bafeng Camp.

And what has more advantages than the Xiaoguo Army and others is that the Liaodong army has more troops, even better equipment, and sharper equipment. What makes Yang Guang even more trouble is that Chen Kefu's Liaodong army also has a advantage in territory. They have many strong city fortresses, in addition to those fortresses and mountain cities. After Chen Kefu pacified Liaodong, he also built solid bastions in various dangerous locations. And to be critical, they have sufficient food to go to war with the imperial army.

Yang Guang was very angry. He felt like the tiger that had been dozing off, but when he woke up, he found that a white-eyed wolf actually stole his most precious prey while he was asleep.

Yang Wusheng, the other five commanders of the black-clothed iron guard, said, "Your Majesty, twenty-seven years old is not all Chen Kefu's capable of mobilizing troops. The son of Khitan King Adina is Chen Kefu's sworn brother, and his daughter is Chen Kefu's concubine. They have long formed an alliance. If Chen Kefu rebelled, the Khitan clan would definitely help him. Moreover, the Khitan Dahe clan, who was defeated in the Khitan civil war, had long been under the command of Chen Kefu in Liaodong. When the conquest of Wei, the Dahe clan sent 10,000 troops to be requisitioned by the Liaodong army. If Liaodong rebelled, Liaodong could recruit at least 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers from the Khitan, and they were cavalry!" "

"The newly enfeoffed king of mohé, who had just been granted a title, also married his daughter to Chen Kefu as a concubine a year ago. Chen Kefu had also recruited cavalry several times before. If Liaodong raised an army, the mohé people would send at least 10,000 to 20,000 troops to respond. There is also the Silla Kingdom, and Silla is also an ally of Chen Kefu. His Majesty's previous title of Silla King is rumored to have a son of Princess Shengman of Silla and Chen Kefu. If Silla also raised an army, Liaodong could have an additional 20,000 to 30,000 troops." Yang Guang sneered. He believed in their judgment, but there was a premise that Chen Kefu could return to Liaodong to launch a rebellion.

But since he had made a decision, how could he give Chen Kefu this opportunity? Although the Liaodong Army is powerful, the spirit of the Liaodong Army lies in Chen Kefu. As long as Chen Kefu is captured, he can believe that the Liaodong Army will definitely no longer be as powerful as it is now. Even the Khitan, mohé, and Silla countries will reconsider their relationship with the Liaodong Army, and may not easily raise an army to correspond.

Yang Wu suggested, "Your Majesty, you must not give Chen Kefu the chance to return to Liaodong. Chen Kefu's wedding tonight will definitely not be wary. Please give your majesty the order, and the minister will lead the imperial guards to attack Chen's mansion at night. I promise that Chen Kefu will be the head of the emperor to meet him." Yang Guang shook his head, "Chen Kefu is now in the Dongdu, so it is easy to kill him. But killing Chen Kefu, but it is difficult to take over Liaodong smoothly and thoroughly. If I kill Chen Kefu now, the Liaodong army will definitely raise troops to rebel. It is not easy to pacify Liaodong, and it is finally difficult to pacify Liaodong.

The situation is now. I don’t want Liaodong to make recurrences, and I am planning for the Eastern Turks at the moment. Liaodong is the key to pacifying the Turks. I will never allow Liaodong to be lost." Killing Chen Kefu would mean completely losing the opportunity to recruit and rebel with the Liaodong army, and would only force the Liaodong army to rebel. With the current situation in Liaodong, although he believed that he would definitely be able to pacify Liaodong, the price would be too high. It would even make him lose the opportunity to check and balance the Eastern Turks from then on, and put the Great Sui Dynasty under the threat of the Turks.

"Tonight, Chen Kefu got married, and all officials of the Chen family gathered together. If it was done at this time, it would be inappropriate. Yang Wu immediately took the black-clothed iron guard to secretly monitor the Chen family and grasped Chen Kefu's whereabouts. By tomorrow, I will summon seven leaders to the palace to discuss politics. At that time, Sima Dekan brought Xiaoguo army to attack in the palace and directly imprisoned Chen Kefu in the palace. Then he led the imperial guards to capture all the Chen family. Then he tried to capture all the generals of Liaodong. In this way, Chen Kefu and Liaodong all fell into the hands of the court. At that time, only a few prestigious generals must be sent to Liao to take over military power and sent a delegation to the Liao Dynasty.

The army then advances eastward, so that the army can be safely pacified without bloodshed. "As long as Liaodong is stabilized, all the Liaodong army can be disarmed or transferred into the Central Plains. How to deal with Chen Kefu and others is not entirely in his thoughts. Yang Guang is not afraid of killing people, but sometimes he can tolerate it temporarily. If he can't bear it, he will chaotic big plans. For Liaodong, for the Turks, and for his great cause, he can kill ten thousand people in one word, or even know that Chen Kefu is going to rebel, he will temporarily let him live for one more time and three more time, and even let him continue to live the wedding night with a glorious glory.

The order was immediately released, and several commanders of the black-clothed iron guards also surrendered and made preparations in various ways.

"Your Majesty, where can I sleep tonight?" It was not early at this time, and after the discussion, Yang Guang had to go back to the palace to rest. The eunuch in close proximity was hurriedly approached and asked. Yang Guang had many concubines in his harem, so where to sleep every day was also a big problem. In order to prevent the emperor from sometimes wanting to visit the harem, but he encountered the concubine's menstruation or even illness. Which wife the emperor wanted to sleep with was up to the eunuch. The eunuch would have a special book

Zi, register the health of the emperor's concubines every day. At night, except those who are menstruation and sick. According to the etiquette, Yang Guang had an empress, three wives, namely, imperial concubine, virtuous concubine, and Shufei, a total of four first-class wives. If the other wives are over fifty years old, they are no longer qualified to sleep with the emperor. If the health is suitable every day and who is only fifty years old, each person's name will be recorded on a sign for Yang Guang to choose.

The emperor turned over the sign, and then his wife would sleep tonight, but he didn't have to worry about unexpected situations. In the first month of the year, Luoyang City was still very cold, and there was still snow on the roof of the palace. As soon as he walked out of the warm Liangyi Hall, he was blown by the cold wind, Yang Guang couldn't help but tremble. He closed the cloak on his body, and Yang Guang didn't look at the tray full of signs, and said lightly, "Let's go to the queen's place tonight and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some wine and food. I want to have a few drinks with the queen." The eunuch nodded and responded to drink, and hurriedly sent a eunuch to the queen's office to inform him, and sent another eunuch to the imperial kitchen to deliver meals. When he arrived in the queen's harem with his dragon chariot, Yang Guang unexpectedly discovered that the queen was actually sitting with his precious daughter Princess Izumo and chatting.

"Ji'er, why is it still in her mother's harem late at night?" Yang Guang said strangely.

""Nothing. I suddenly remembered my mother today.

It was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

So I came to find my mother..

Yang Ji'er's eyes were red and even tears were stained with tears on her face. Although she had been married to Chen Kefu before, she didn't care about the status of the couple, and agreed to run with Chen Kefu on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and go to Liaodong from now on. But today, she really thought about her beloved man, and she was in the fun of her wedding. She even entered the bridal chamber and hugged another woman and was intimate. She couldn't help feeling wronged and uncomfortable. Finally, she couldn't help but run to the queen to chat. She came to find some comfort, and she felt that she would leave in seven days, and she felt a little reluctant.

Yang Guang naturally knew about this precious daughter's encounter with Chen Kefu that time. Later, he and Hou Xiao were together, and the two had no choice but to have Yang Jier's crush on Chen Kefu. Even the emperor's daughter could not marry anyone she wanted. Moreover, Yang Guang also felt that Yang Jier had met Chen Kefu so once, and it was impossible for him to have any real relationship. It was just that the princess fell in love and the girl was in love. As long as she had a little time, she would naturally forget it.

Today, Chen Kefu got married. I believe that the princess must be sad about this. Thinking of everything she did to Chen Kefu, and thinking about what Chen Kefu did to him, Yang Guang felt anger in his heart. Now he has taken away the heart of his most precious daughter, which makes him extremely angry.

"Your Majesty should also pay more attention to your health. The discussion has been discussed until late at night. Your Majesty should pay more attention to the dragon body. Now you are not yet a year of knowing your destiny, but your body is so haggard. This is not possible. Some unimportant things will not be handled late at night in the future. Now there are seven participating in politics and five prime ministers. Some things can be left to you to do." Yang Guang shook his head, "From tomorrow, there will be only six participating in politics and four prime ministers. People's hearts are unpredictable. I treat him like this, but I didn't expect that he was determined to seize my country. He is really a wolf cub that I will never raise...

Empress Xiao was shocked when she heard this. The position of prime minister is not a casual official, but a rank is the most important one under the emperor. Most of the time, they are helping the emperor to control the country. Such positions will not be randomly granted to others, nor will they be easily dismissed. In a country, the emperor is the most important and cannot be changed at will. The shorter the emperor's reign, the faster the emperor takes over in the dynasty, the more unstable the dynasty. Apart from the emperor, the most unchanged is the crown prince. The crown prince is the crown prince of a country, and changing the crown prince is to shake the foundation of the country. In addition to this emperor and the crown prince, the prime minister is the most important one in the court. In each dynasty, in every prosperous era, there must be a famous prime minister, and he is a famous prime minister who has been in power for many years.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the Kaihuang Prosperity was created. Gao Jiong, Li Delin, Su Wei, and Yang Su were all prime ministers. Except for Li Delin, the other three were short for a long time. It was precisely with their assistance that Yang Jian created the Kaihuang Prosperity.

Gao Jiong and Yang Su were killed, leaving only a fence-in-law Su Wei until now. It is precisely because of the years of emptiness of the prime minister in the court that the great cause has not only not created a prosperous era, but also almost destroyed the Yang family.

Seeing that the Liaodong and Wei were pacified, the Central Plains rebellion gradually subsided, the world surrendered, and seven more participated in politics, including five of them prime ministers. Empress Xiao, who had always been worried about Yang Guang, became much more at ease, but she didn't expect that she had just been appointed as the prime minister and wanted to be exempted from another one. Wouldn't this be a joke?

"Your Majesty, the prime minister is the most important position in the day, and you must not give up easily. Su Prime Minister has been prime minister for many years. Although he is old, he has rich experience in government affairs. Your Majesty needs his experience.

Yu Shiji has been a Shilang in the Inner Historian for many years, and now he is the best candidate. Yu Qing's family has followed His Majesty for many years and is a rare minister. Pei Shiju is also a place for everyone to accept his words. His Majesty has been suppressing Pei's family recently, and it is even more inappropriate to touch him at this time." Empress Xiao stood aside, helping Yang Guang analyze the five prime ministers today.

In Xiao Hou's opinion, there are five ministers in the court. If all of them are fully appointed, the five ministers will help the emperor take charge of the government affairs together. This is undoubtedly an excellent thing. Although there are five ministers now, Chen Kefu and Li Yuan will go to the local area to guard the government, and there are only three ministers left in the court who handle the government affairs. If one more is reduced, it will inevitably increase the emperor's pressure and reduce the court's decision-making ability.

Yang Guang shook his head, "I don't plan to dismiss Su Wei, Yu Shiji, or Pei Shiju." "But although the left prime minister Chen Kefu was young, he was also civil and military, full of spirit, and was at the right time to be successful. The relatives of the Duke of Tang, Li Yuan, were also loyal and loyal. He was in the court. No matter which of these two people was dismissed, it was His Majesty's loss. Did Your Majesty have this idea because of the marriage between Li and Chen?" Empress Xiao followed Yang Guang for many years and rarely interfered in the affairs of the court, but when she heard about the matter of wanting to stop the prime minister, she still couldn't help but persuade him.

""I want to dismiss Chen Kefu. He was dismissed not because he was the minister of the same palace as Li Yuan and his son-in-law, but because he wanted to rebel. Tomorrow, I will gather everyone to participate in politics and discuss matters in the palace, and I will take the opportunity to take down Chen Kefu in one fell swoop. When I properly resolve the Liaodong army, I will tear this unfamiliar white-eyed wolf into pieces." Yang Guang still gritted his teeth as soon as Chen Kefu arrived.

""Chen Pojun wants to rebel?" Empress Xiao and Princess Izumo exclaimed almost at the same time, both of them were extremely shocked.

Yang Guang nodded, "Chen Kefu hoarded tens of millions of stones of grain in Liaodong, built countless armor and equipment, and even had amazing gunpowder weapons. And this damn wolf cub recruited soldiers in Liaodong, with nearly 300,000 troops. He also set up an official position and minted money. He also married the daughter of the leader of the Khitan and Mohé as his concubine, and formed an alliance with the two tribes. This one thing, every one is a great rebellion, and he almost publicly pulled the flag and rebelled." "Father,

Will there be any misunderstanding in the Central Plains? Chen Pojun fought for the borders of the Great Sui Dynasty, destroyed Goguryeo, pacified Liaodong, and flattened the Wei Dynasty. He conquered eleven counties for the Great Sui Dynasty, and seized countless lands for the people of the Central Plains who lost their homes due to peasant rebellion. Moreover, Chen Pojun has always respected His Majesty, so how could he do something ruthless? If he really wanted to rebel, how could he come to Dongdu from thousands of miles away with only one hundred people? Father, please think twice?" Yang Jier said anxiously with pear blossoms with rain.
