Chapter 33 Prophecy in the Capital

In the imperial study, Yang Guang sat in front of the imperial case with a blue face, throwing a memorial on the ground. This was a memorial sent from Qi County. Xu Yuanfang, the prefect of Qi County, attacked and led to the emptiness of Licheng County. Licheng County was attacked by the thief Lu Mingyue's army. Jiānyin burned and killed, and plundered the entire city. There were countless civilians who were massacred. Xu Yuanfang hurriedly returned to the army and ambushed. The Sui army was defeated. 20,000 Sui army was defeated, with more than half of the casualties, and Qi County fell. e^see

All this happened in Qi County was described in detail in another memorial three days ago. It was Zhang Xutuo's memorial, and he had already predicted that this ending would occur.

Next to him were Yuwen Shu and Yu Shiji, both of them lowered their heads. Yang Guang's thunderous anger made them feel a little guilty. They were the two of them who insisted on replacing Zhang Xutuo.

Yang Guang looked at them coldly. As soon as he opened his mouth and angrily scolded him, an eunuch walked into the room to report, "Your Majesty, Zhang Xutuo has arrived."

"Xuan him comes in!" Yang Guang forced his xiong to swallow his breath.

After a moment, Zhang Xutuo hurried into the court room and bowed to salute, "I am Zhang Xutuo to see Your Majesty!"

"Zhang Aiqing is exempt from gifts!"

Yang Guang sighed, "I will tell you a sad news, and all the worries in your memorial have happened truthfully."

Zhang Xutuo was so shocked that he took two steps back, "Your Majesty, Licheng County... has it been attacked and destroyed?"

Yang Guang nodded, "The bandits burned, killed, looted, and countless dead. Xu Yuanfang was ambushed and suffered heavy casualties. The remaining troops retreated to Lu County, and Qi County had been occupied by Luàn bandit Lu Mingyue."

Zhang Xutuo felt that his eyes were dark and almost fell down. His two nv sons were married in Licheng County. Can they still survive?

Zhang Xutuo forced himself to stabilize his body and slowly knelt down, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Qi County to join the army and swear to kill Lu Thief!"

Yang Guang looked ashamed and said, "I shouldn't have replaced you. I have appointed you as the governor of Qi County. I have approved all the troops, money and food I need, I just hope you can take back Qi County for me."

"I Zhang Xutuo is willing to share your worries for Your Majesty. I don't want one soldier or one soldier. I will lead the remaining soldiers of Lu County and kill them back!"

"Okay! I will give you a reward for taking back Qi County, and I will give you a new robe."

Zhang Xutuo said ashamedly: "I have an official robe at home. This old robe is only worn at home. Because time is too urgent, I don't have time to change my clothes. I am rude. Please forgive me."

Yang Guang smiled and said, "I understand in my heart that you are a honest minister, a loyal minister, and my last support. I wish you a victory."

Zhang Xutuo's eyes turned red and tears almost poured out. He knelt down slowly and said in a trembling voice: "Zhang Xutuo is willing to be fooled by Your Majesty to repay Your Majesty for his grace of knowing his favor!"

"Go! I'm waiting for your good news."

Zhang Xutuo kowtowed three times, slowly retreated, watching Zhang Xutuo's back disappear, Yang Guang sighed softly, "As time goes by, people's hearts, this is true."

Yang Guang said to Yuwen Shu and Yu Shiji again: "He used all the money and goods I gave him two years ago to help the disaster. He was willing to stay in poverty. He only had two old servants at home. His wife went out to the street to buy vegetables himself, and the vegetables they bought were also green vegetables and tofu, and few of them were

If he really colluded with Yang Yuanqing, he would have gone to Fengzhou to enjoy wealth and prosperity two years ago."

Yu Shiji said carefully: "It is true that Zhang Xutuo has no strange intentions, but he also has a salary of 250 stones a year and 20 stones a month. Why is he so poor that he is so poor?"

Yang Guang glanced at him and said coldly: "His salary is also given to the lonely old man who fell into battle, Yu Aiqing, you are not the same type of person as him, you would never have imagined."

Yu Shiji's face turned red and she didn't dare to say anything anymore. Yang Guang felt very tired and waved his hand, "Go back! Youwen Aiqing stayed."

Yu Shiji slowly left, with only Yu Wen Shu left in the room. Yu Wen Shu had just arrived not long ago. He came to report another thing, but at this time he did not dare to disturb Yang Guang.

Yang Guang didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he woke up from his thoughts and said to Yuwen Shu: "You continue talking!"

Yuwen Shu then continued: "I found out that the prophecy came from the Guanzhong area, and the first ones were not children and beggars, but several Taoist priests."

"Taoist priest?"

Yang Guang asked in confusion: "Where is the Taoist priest?"

"I have been chasing Taoist priests these two days, but it's strange that no one knows where they came from? I don't know where they went? Even the soldiers guarding the city had never seen them, as if they had disappeared out of thin air."

After the prophecy of "Peach and plums have a world, Yang family has destroyed and Li family has risen" was spread in the capital, Yang Guang attached great importance to it. He secretly ordered Yuwen Shu to investigate the source of the prophecy. At this time, he heard that the prophecy came from Guanzhong and was passed down by Taoist priests. He frowned and shook his head, and said to Yuwen Shu: "You continue to investigate and investigate to the end. I must know who spread the prophecy."

"I obey the order!"

When Yuwen Shu retreated, Yang Guang ordered for the first time, "I want to return to the palace!"

Penglai Pavilion in Huitongyuan is the place where Yang Guang Huixian practices Taoism. It is built on an artificial island in Taiye Pond. It is piled up with rockery and is dozens of feet high, just like a real mountain. The vegetation is lush and planted with various strange grasses. Dozens of pavilions and towers are built in the middle, with winding paths and secluded. Cranes often fly over, just like places for gods and immortals.

There are more than a dozen alchemists in Penglai Pavilion, all of whom are practicing Taoism. They practice alchemy during the day, observe the celestial phenomena at night, understand the mysteries of the universe, and look for the art of ascension to the immortals. They are usually isolated from the outside world and cannot easily see them.

At this time, Yang Guang took a boat to Penglai Pavilion, took a shower and changed his clothes, sat down in the main pavilion, and waited patiently for the arrival of the alchemist. After a moment, a cloud board knocked, a pavilion with a crane-haired and young face walked in, wearing a gossip robe, with a disheveled hair and barefoot. This man was named Angatuo. He was originally practicing in Zhongnan Mountain, but was introduced to Yang Guang by Zhang Qiu Taiyi, saying that he practiced in Zhongnan Mountain, without knowing the years, was very good at observing the celestial phenomena, and could observe the mystery of the next hundred years.

Angata walked up to Yang Guang and bowed, "See Your Majesty!"

Yang Guang bowed slightly, "Sir, please sit down, and I will disturb you again because I am deeply uneasy."

Yang Guang came once three days ago. He asked Angata to confirm the prophecy. Today he would like to know the result.

After Angata sat down, Yang Guang asked impatiently: "May the prophecy be taken seriously?"

An Jiatuo nodded, "The purple is faint, and there are strange stars in the West that break into the prophecy. I used this prophecy to calculate the three hexagrams, all of which are very bad appearances. The hexagrams point west, and they are also in line with the celestial phenomena. I am afraid that the priests of Li should pay more attention."

Yang Guang's eyes were flashing with fierce light. Who would a person with the surname Li be?

Of course, prophecies will not come out for no reason, and people will always be spread. Only Yang Guang would never dream of who would come out.

Yuwen Shu's carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and he ordered, "Anyone who comes to visit will say I am not here."

He quickly walked to his study, and a concubine took off her outer robe for him. He sat down and said, "Let the eldest son come to see me!"

After a moment, Yu Wenhe arrived in a hurry. Yu Wenhe had already re-elected his official position at the beginning of the year and served as the General of the Youtun Guard. His third son Yu Wenzhi also served as the general of the junior supervisor. Yu Wenshu's original idea was to let Yu Wenhe become a vassal state, and it would be best if he could become the general manager of Youzhou.

However, the death of his brother Yuwen Ce made Yuwen Shu dare not take risks anymore, so he changed his son to take military positions, so he had the opportunity to command more than 100,000 troops like Yang Yichen. Yang Yichen honestly gave up military power, but once Yu Wenhua and once he grasped military power, he would not give up again.

"Children, see my father!"

"I'll ask you, how did you handle the person you sent to spread the prophecy?"

"Reporting to my father, the three fake Taoist children who spread prophecies have been executed. The fake Taoist children were killed, and the child was killed in the end, and the confidant did nothing."

Yuwen Shu nodded and expressed satisfaction with his son's handling methods. This prophecy was indeed spread by Yuwen Shu, but the person he wanted to deal with was Li Hun. Li Hun did not repay his debts and humiliated him many times. If he did not revenge this revenge, Yuwen Shu would never give up, so he ordered his son Yu Wenhua and secretly walked the prophecy.

But Yuwen Shu did not expect that this prophecy attracted Yang Guang's extreme attention. The degree of attention he attached to was seen from Yang Guang's attitude today.

Yuwen Shu also knew that Yang Guang did not care about the rebellion of bandits in various places on the surface, but he began to be scared in his heart. Especially since last year, most of the new rebels were powerful people from all over the country, and they began to attack cities and kill officials, which made Yang Guang realize the crisis of the country, so he was afraid of such prophecies.

At this time, Yu Wenji said carefully: "Father, I heard another thing today. I'm afraid the prophecy can be used again."

"What's the matter? Just tell me, don't play the puzzle in front of me again." Yuwen Shu said a little unhappy.

"Yes! I heard today that Yang Yuanqing's mother's surname is Li. Can she lead the prophecy to him?"

A sentence reminded Yuwen Shu that Yang Yuanqing's mother's surname was Li. He knew about this, but he actually forgot about it. Yuwen Shu slapped his mind and felt annoyed. If he had known this, he would have reminded Yang Guang today.

But Yuwen Shu thought again and again, if she reminded Yang Guang, then Yang Guang's target would be aimed at Yang Yuanqing, and then Li Hun would be ignored by him. This would not work. Li Hun must be killed first and then directed the target to Yang Yuanqing.

"I understand this. You can't tell anyone. When the time is right, let's turn to deal with Yang Yuanqing."

"Don't worry, my father, I can't use anyone."

Yuwen Shu was quite satisfied with her son Yu Wenhua and smiled and said, "I plan to ask you to lead troops to suppress bandits and increase your qualifications. What do you think?"

Yu Wenyu was a little scared, "I was afraid that the child would be defeated by the thief instead."

Yuwen Shu smiled slightly, "I know, I asked my general Pei Renji to be your deputy general to assist you in suppressing bandits. With him here, there is no problem with you in suppressing bandits, and I will only let you deal with some small bandits, Wagang Village, etc., and I will not let you go."

Yu Wenji was shocked and hurriedly said, "Father, Pei Xingyan, the son of Pei Renji, is Yang Yuanqing's general, this is inappropriate!"

Yuwen Shu laughed, "Don't worry, Yang Yuanqing did not rebel against the Sui Dynasty, and the Pei family did not rebel. Pei Renji would not have any unfair intentions!"
