Chapter 36: Inner Court Advice (1)
The Daxing City of the Sui Dynasty was the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty. The main change of the Tang Dynasty was to build the Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace. The city structure of the two dynasties remained basically unchanged. In the second year of Kaihuang, the famous craftsman Yuwen Kai took to build Luoyang City and the southern city of Yedu, Northern Qi, and it took one year and two months to build it.
The entire city consists of the Great Palace City, the Imperial City and the Outer City. The Great Palace City is also called the Daxing Palace, and the two sides are the Yeting Palace and the East Palace, which are the places where the palace maids and the prince live.
The north of Daxing Palace is where the emperor and his concubines live, and the three main halls on the south are places for court meetings. On both sides of the Daxing Palace in the middle of the three halls are the two provinces of the Menxia and the Inner History, as well as Hongwen Hall, History Museum, Sherenyuan and other institutions.
The imperial city is the central government offices of the Shangshu Province, as well as the two towers, the eleven temples, the twelve guards and other imperial courts. Zhaoyangmen Street divides the imperial city into two.
The main gate to the Great Palace City is called Chengtian Gate, and the gate to the Imperial City is called Zhuque Gate. Relatively speaking, it is easier to enter Zhuque Gate, but you must have a sect to enter.
In the morning, Yuan Qing came to Zhuque Gate. Today he wore a new cloth robe and a new flat scarf, which showed his spirit.
He walked to Zhuque Gate, and a guard guard on duty stepped forward to stop him. He looked up and down at Yuan Qing, "Do you have a family?"
Yuan Qing took out the jade pendant and showed it, "I have this!"
Yang Jian told him the day before yesterday that he could enter the palace at any time with this jade pendant.
The guard of the prison guard came up and looked at it, and immediately felt awe. He waved his hand quickly, "Young Master, please come in!"

At this time, in the Liangyi Hall of the Inner Court, the Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was discussing military use with important officials. In addition to Emperor Yang Jian, there were also crown prince Yang Yong, king of Jin Yang Guang, left servant Gao Yang Gui, right servant Yang Su, right servant Yang Su, minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, secretary of the Ministry of War, secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Xue Zhou, secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and dozens of important civil and military officials, including Yuwen Shu, He Ruobi, Yan Rong, and many other major civil and military officials.
The decision to attack the Turks has been decided. The key is how to fight? Where to send troops and who will lead the troops?
"Dear friends, I will propose a plan first."
Yang Jian walked off the dragon throne, and officials had already raised a wooden stand in the court, with a map of the north hanging on it. Yang Jian's plan of march was not drawn on the map. He picked up a wooden pole and pointed to Mobei and said: "This time the attack on the Turks was mainly to concentrate troops against the eastern Turks, defeat the Dulan tribe, so that the Turi tribe could replace it and stabilize the situation in the eastern Turks. Then, we concentrated our troops to attack the Western Turks, but this time we would not fight, and this time we only attack the Dulan tribe."
He moved the wooden pole down to the border and said slowly: "I have repeatedly considered it in the past two days. We can divide the three armies into the frontier. One armies walks on Youzhou Road, one armies walks on Mayi Road, and the other armies walk on Lingwu Road. These three armies attack the east, middle and west of the Tulan Turks respectively, making it difficult for him to take care of the head and tail. In order to coordinate the battle between the three armies, I consider letting the King of Han be the Marshal of the Capital and the general of the three armies. What do you think?"
Prince Yang Yong nodded and praised: "The father is considerate and the son is fully acknowledged."
A trace of undetectable uneasiness flashed in King Yang Guang's eyes. Among the five brothers, he always led his troops to fight. He was in control of military power. How could the King of Han replace his military status? He stood up and smiled and said, "Father, please let Erchen say something."
Yang Guang was once the Grand Marshal of the Southern Conquest and was also the general manager of Yangzhou. He had been in the South for ten years, which effectively eased the resentment and suspicion of the Han people in the South towards the Sui Dynasty. Yang Jian trusted him in both political and military aspects, and then nodded with a smile, "Tell me!"
Yang Guang glanced at everyone and said loudly: "The plan for the three routes of the father to go out is excellent, but has the father ever thought that the three armies were separated by thousands of miles and it was difficult to coordinate. The opportunity of the battlefield changed instantly. Today, I found that an enemy army needed two armies to attack together. It was five or six days later that the situation changed early, and instead made wrong decisions and delayed the opportunity for war. Therefore, my son thought it was not advisable to set up the marshal of the capital to general dispatch and command."
"I support the King of Jin's opinion!"
Yang Su stood up and bowed to Yang Jian, "I have been fighting for many years and know that Turkish troops are mobility and flexibility. Cavalry marching hundreds of miles a day. We must not stick to the form and be warned. The three armies are thousands of miles apart, so it is indeed unrealistic to cooperate in combat."
Yang Jian fell into a deep thought, but the prince Yang Yong knew Yang Guang's true intention. He did not want the Han King Yang Liang to obtain command of the army. After destroying the Chen Dynasty, Yang Guang held his own achievements and began to show his ambitions. Although he pretended well and hid it from his father and mother, his thoughts could not be hidden from him. Yang Yong couldn't speak, so he quickly gave Gao Yong a wink.
Gao Bing understood, and he also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if you lose, you will gain something. Although the three armies are thousands of miles apart, they are in the Sui territory. After entering the northern part of the desert, the three armies will gradually move closer. I am very worried that if there is no cooperation between the Dulan Turks, they will be concentrated and defeated by each one. I think there is no need to divide the three armies, so I will lead the Han King to lead the army from Mayi, and then from Tuli to the west to cooperate with the Sui army. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"
Yang Su and Gao Feng both made sense. Yang Jian walked on the court with his hands behind his back, pondering the best way to defeat the enemy. At this moment, a guard walked into the inner court and held up a jade pendant to report, "Your Majesty, a young man was asking for a meeting outside the palace. He said he had a plan to defeat the Turkic."
The Neijing was suddenly in an uproar, and Yuwen Shu, who was sitting behind, angrily scolded, "Nothing! The important ministers discuss military and national affairs, what does it have to do with the child? You still don't retreat!"
The guard was frightened and quickly retreated. Yang Jian's eyes were quite good. He saw the jade pendant at a glance, and he quickly shouted: "Come back!"
The guard stopped and came back again, Yang Jian waved, "Give me the jade pendant!"
The guard came forward holding the jade pendant. Yang Su was immediately scared and burst into a cold sweat and complained. He recognized the jade pendant as the one given to his grandson Yuan Qing the day before yesterday. Gao Feng also recognized it. He was shocked and wondered, what Yuan Qing did? This is not a poem. Can he have a plan to calm down?
Yang Jian took the jade pendant, showed a smile on his face, and then ordered the guards, "Give him white clothes and bring him in."
The guards hurried down, and Yang Jian returned to the Dragon Boat, smiling without saying a word. He had a very good impression of Yuan Qing, and always felt that he was a down-to-earth boy and was not flashy. When he came to offer a strategy to pacify the Turks, there must be a reason. Moreover, he happened to use this time to carefully consider the strategies of Yang Su and Gao Bing, whether to send troops in three directions or all the way.
It can be said that Yuan Qing’s interruption came at the right time.
Except for Yang Su and Gao Bing, the rest of the palace were not aware of it. Only Yang Guang guessed that he was a person who was interested and had secretly asked about the previous father's journey alone through Yang Jian's guards. He knew that his father was in danger and was rescued by Yang Su's grandson. Afterwards, his father gave him the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant.
It seems that this young man who offered the strategy of pacifying the Turks was Yang Su's grandson. He secretly looked at Yang Su. He wanted to know if this was a deliberate arrangement. He was very suspicious that a young man knew what strategy to pacifying the Turks?
Yang Su is now in a state of confusion, he knows nothing. He is very worried that if Yuan Qing makes a mistake, he may have life worries. At this moment, Yang Su has decided to apologize for his crime and save his grandson.
Although Yang Jian didn't know if it was Yang Su's arrangement in advance, he would see that Yang Su was pale and sweating was already on his forehead, and he guessed that Yang Su might not know.
At this time, the guards brought Yuan Qing, who had already been dressed in white, into Liangyi Hall. Yuan Qing had no identity and had to wear white clothes to meet him. He quickly stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed, "Little Minor Yang Yuanqing bowed to His Majesty the Emperor, and wish His Majesty a long life!"
He spoke clearly, but he was a little nervous. Although he knew that Yang Jian would not turn against him and kill his savior, nor would he kill Yang Su's grandson at will, at most he would not summon him. Since he summoned him, he would not be trying to kill him. He had a clear idea of this.
It is just a risky thing to break into the military and national affairs hall, and it depends on whether his plan can convince the emperor after thinking about the overnight plan.
Yang Jian smiled slightly, "Young man, you are very brave. You can not only fight against wild boars, but also dare to break into the inner hall of the court."
Yuan Qing said loudly: "Your Majesty, every man is responsible for defending his country. Even though I am young, I am willing to share your worries!"
Generally speaking, those who can sit in Liangyi Hall for meetings are already very mature politically. Even Yuwen Shu, who had just scolded the guard, didn't say much. He also saw that the young man had a different relationship with the emperor. It seemed that they knew each other, and even Yang Su and Gao Yang didn't say anything. Why was it his turn to talk too much?
However, there was still one person who was uninterested and did not see the subtle relationship here. This person was He Ruobi, the Shangzhu Kingdom. He had always had no eyes, was self-respecting his military achievements, and did not take the civil and military affairs of the court seriously. He offended Yang Jian several times, and even the ministers asked to behead He Ruobi.
At this time, He Ruobi saw that this young man was not very good at all, and said that even though he was young, he was willing to share his worries for His Majesty. He suddenly became angry and shouted sternly: "A general, all of us know how to be humble. You, a yellow-haired man, dare to claim to be a pacifying Turkic strategy?"
