Chapter 4: No sound
Although Yang Yuanqing did not expect that Yang Guang urgently summoned him for Yuan Hongsi, he also knew that Yuan Hongsi's power in Youzhou would be the biggest obstacle to his control of Youzhou. Without Yang Guang's reminder, he would also find ways to eliminate Yuan Hongsi's power.
However, Yang Guang's reminder made him understand two things. One was that Yang Guang asked him to be the general manager of Youzhou, or to let him deal with the Guanlong nobles, and the goal was the Yuan family.
Secondly, Yuwen Shu was also involved in the game against the Guanlong nobles, and things became a bit complicated.
"I understand!"
Yang Guang looked at Yang Yuanqing for a long time, confirmed that he really understood his thoughts, so he put the matter aside, and smiled slightly and said, "Do you know Uncle Chen?"
"The Later Lord of Southern Chen, I know!"
Yang Yuanqing was a little confused about what Yang Guang was doing when he told him about this. He could only be a listener patiently and answered one sentence from time to time.
"He died in the fourth year of Renshou. I posthumously awarded him the title of General, with the posthumous title of "Yang". Emperor Yang of Chen. Do you know why I called him Emperor Yang?"
"Don't you know?"
Yang Yuanqing was extremely strange in his heart. Chen Shubao was actually named Emperor Yang by Yang Guang. This incident was a great mockery.
Yang Guang sighed softly, "Chen Shubao is greedy for women, and he is drunk and dreaming of death all day long, and does not care about state affairs. After being the emperor for so many years, what did he do? He did nothing except give birth to a lot of wine bags. When I was in charge of Jiangnan, I knew very well about him. When I was the crown prince, I swear that if I was the lord of the world, I should take Chen Shubao as a warning. Chen Shubao is greedy for women, and I will not be close to women. Chen Shubao does not care about state affairs. I will be diligent in state affairs. Chen Shubao does not think about it.
To advance, I will open up the territory. I have been the Emperor of Sui for nearly eight years. I have achieved all the unfinished careers of my father. I have moved the capital to Luoyang, open up the Grand Canal, build the Great Wall, fight against the Turks in the north, pacify Linyi in the south, destroy Ryukyu in the east, and boundless territory in the west, rebuild the glory of the Han Dynasty. In the eight years of ascending the throne, I spent most of my time inspecting the world. I dare not slackew one day or enjoy one day. I even took Emperor Yang of Chen as a commandment and would never let me become Emperor Yang of Sui."
Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly in his heart. History was so cruel. After Yang Guang's death, the posthumous title given to him by the Li Tang Dynasty was Emperor Yang of Sui. He didn't know what to say. At this time, he could only remain silent and slowly experience the cruelty of history written by the victors.
Yang Guang was moved by Yang Da's advice. He was a little disobedient. The silence in the imperial study room made Yang Guang slowly wake up from his feelings. He looked at Yang Yuanqing and said with a smile: "The reason why I talked to you about Chen Shubao is that I heard that you and Chen Shubao also have such a twists and turns."
Yang Yuanqing's heart was shocked. He knew that Yang Guang was referring to Shen Wuhua, but how did Yang Guang know? Who told him?
"Report to Your Majesty, Empress Chen Shubao Shen Wuhua has a niece who is the wife of Zhang Zhongsu. She was captured in the Battle of Pingnan and rewarded to the Yang family. She is my wet nurse. She has been raising me for seven years since I was a child. I regard her as my mother. Her daughter grew up with me and is now my second wife."
Yang Guang nodded with a smile, "I have no other intentions. Shen is also a famous family in Jiangnan, and Shen Wuhua is even a talented woman in Wuzhong. Her mother is Chen Baxian's daughter. Since your second wife is also a descendant of the famous family, I plan to give her an imperial edict, but it is a little lower than Pei."
Yang Yuanqing then realized that Yang Guang wanted to give him an imperial edict in order to win over him. He hurriedly saluted, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Yang Guang smiled slightly, "Don't thank me, go to Youzhou to do things for me."

The streets shrouded in the night had become particularly quiet. There was no curfew in the capital at this time, but there was still no pedestrian on the street. A thin layer of gray mist floated low in the air. The weather was frozen and frozen. Yang Yuanqing walked slowly on the street under the escort of dozens of personal soldiers. The sound of horse hooves hit the stone slabs on the ground, making a rhythmic "da da!" sound.
The personal guards held huge shields in their hands and surrounded Yang Yuanqing, and were particularly vigilant. This was the most likely time to have assassination incidents.
Yang Yuanqing was thinking about it. Because of his arrival, history had begun to change. Yang Xuangan may not be the first to rebel. So when can the Sui Dynasty last? If the Guanlong nobles really rebel, will the second and third battles take place in Goryeo?
All this is unknown, but one thing we can know is that the ship of the Great Sui Dynasty is gradually deviating from the historical trajectory.
At this time, a rumbling wheel came from the opposite side, mixed with the sound of horse hooves of more than a dozen knights. In the gray mist, you can vaguely see this is an official car, with tall shafts, spacious carriages, and two tall horses pulled and pulled. Merchants are not allowed to ride in such a carriage, and can only be taken by high-ranking officials, powerful people or famous families. But strangely, the carriage has no lanterns and flags, and is so dark. This is unreasonable and has a feeling of being a thief.
The carriage turned right at fifty steps in front of them and drove into Kuanzhengfang. Yang Yuanqing thought about it. He remembered that Dugu Mansion was in Kuanzhengfang. He hurriedly said to a personal guard beside him: "Come to the carriage in front and see who it is?"
As soon as the personal soldiers urged the horse, they followed the carriage into Kuanzhengfang. In just a moment, the personal soldiers came out and reported to Yang Yuanqing: "General, it is Li Yuan's carriage."
"So it's him!"
In fact, Yang Yuanqing had already seen it at the gate of the yard. The carriage was parked in front of Dugu Mansion not far from the gate of the yard. Several large lanterns in front of the mansion were brightly lit. Dugu Zhen's nephew Dugu Huaien stood on the steps and greeted him. The two of them walked out of the carriage. It was Li Yuan and his son Li Jiancheng.
When he visited Dugu Mansion in the middle of the night, it seemed that Li Yuan was also unwilling to be lonely. Yang Yuanqing smiled and urged his horse to leave Kuanzhengfang.

Li Yuan was very careful. He was afraid that others would see him visiting Dugu Mansion. He knew very well that if he appeared in Dugu Mansion at this subtle time, once the priest knew about it, it would be extremely unfavorable to him.
In fact, it was not that Li Yuan was going to come to Dugu Mansion, but that Dugu Zhen was going to find Li Yuan. Li Yuan could only make an appointment to visit Dugu Zhen later in the hour of Hai.
On the steps, Dugu Huaien bowed and smiled, "I'm so sorry to bother Uncle to come to the door so late!"
Dugu Huaien is about 26 or 27 years old this year. He grew up in the palace. He is slender and handsome. He is the son of Dugu Chi. After Dugu Chi was killed in the He Ruobi case in the fourth year of Renshou, Dugu Huaien lived with his uncle Dugu Zhen. He is now a guard in the palace.
Li Yuan's mother is Dugu Ji's sister, so Li Yuan and Dugu Huaien are cousins. Although the age difference is nearly twenty years, their seniority is the same.
Li Yuan also replied with a smile: "Because I'm sorry, I'm still here to disturb you so late."
Li Yuan said, looking back at the gate. He had just seen Yang Yuanqing and his party, but there was mist and he couldn't see who the person was. Even so, he was still very careful and didn't want to be discovered by others. When he saw that there was no one at the gate, he let go of his heart.
"Can the head of the family be there?"
"Waiting in the study, Brother Shude invites you, Jiancheng invites you!"
Dugu Huaien took the father and son to quickly walk into Dugu Mansion. The door slowly closed and walked through a long corridor. They came to the study room. Dugu Huaien stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Uncle Eight, they are here!"
"Please come in!"
Dugu Huaien pushed open the door, waved his hand and smiled, "Brother Shude, please!"
Li Yuan walked into the study. The room was brightly lit and decorated simply. Dugu Zhen was wearing a loose white fine linen Zen dress and sat at the table to read a book. In terms of relatives, Dugu Zhen was Li Yuan's youngest uncle.
Li Yuan knelt down and kowtowed, "Kow to my uncle!"
Jiancheng also knelt down and kowtowed, "See uncle and grandfather!"
Dugu Zhen quickly smiled and said, "Shude, don't be so polite. They are all family members. Just be more casual and I'm free."
Dugu Zhen asked the father and son to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea. Dugu Zhen then slowly said: "I invited Shude to come today to tell Shude about the current situation."
Dugu Zhen is currently the Inner Shin-chan and is also one of the prime ministers of the cabinet. He and Li Yuan meet almost every day, but in the court, they just nodded in meeting each other and would not have any deep conversations. Only when they meet in the study room at night can they have a private conversation.
In fact, Li Yuan had long wanted to have a good talk with the Dugu family. Although he had ambition to fight against the Sui Dynasty, the Li family's power was too weak and had no appeal. He could only hope for his mother's family, Dugu family, and his wife's family, Dou family, and especially Dugu family. This was the leader of the Guanlong nobles. If the Dugu family was willing to support him, at least half of the Guanlong nobles would support him, which would be the best result he dreamed of.
But Li Yuan was very cautious. Except for the last time he was drunk and said he was exposed in front of Yu Wenshi and the last time he was drunk, he would not mention that he had a rebellious intention to anyone, and even his wife did not say that he had a sense of rebellion. Apart from the eldest son Jiancheng, he had no idea about talking to Dugu today. Should he reveal a little bit of thought or continue to endure it?
Li Yuan was very conflicted and could only take one step at a time. His expression was serious and respectful on his face, waiting for Dugu Zhen to continue talking downwards.
Dugu Zhen smiled slightly and tried to make the atmosphere relaxed. "This time the emperor attacked Goryeo, and everyone in our Guanlong family was facing a great enemy. It is true that every household had children in the army. In our Dugu family, there were more than a dozen children of Dugu, but more were the Dugu family slaves in the past, with hundreds of people, and they were basically middle-level generals. I would like to ask, I wonder how many people in the Li family are in the army?"
Li Yuan hurriedly said: "Our family is small, and there are only four or five direct descendants of the Li family. My father's old friends have about ten. If we include the descendants of my grandfather's generals, there are also hundreds of people, basically all of them in the army."
"Even the little Li family has so many relatives, friends and old generals, let alone other families."
Dugu Zhen sighed slightly and fell into deep thought. Li Yuan was uneasy. He felt that Dugu Zhen had a plan to make arrangements and he didn't know what specific plans he had, but Li Yuan didn't want to participate too much, and he didn't want to be the target of Yang Guang's attention.
Dugu Zhen raised his head and looked at Li Yuan's eyes and said, "I discussed it with the Yuan family two days ago. We all agreed that there is no need to go to Liaodong to die in the children of the Guanlong family and our retainers. If we really reach the critical moment of life and death, we would rather escape than to throw our lives in Liaodong. You can go back and think about giving the Li family's subordinates a letter!"
Li Yuan nodded silently, "I understand!"
"This is one thing, and there is another thing. I heard that you have a good relationship with Yuan Hongsi, right?" Dugu Zhen asked, still staring at Li Yuan's eyes.
"I just have a good relationship with Hu Sizheng. Hu Sizheng is Yuan Hongsi's brother-in-law, so I met him and had a few times, but I couldn't say that I had a deep relationship."
Dugu Zhen nodded, "This is the best, but I want to remind you that you must not have any contacts with Yuan Hongsi anymore, including the Yuan family, remember! Remember!"
