Turbulent Times Chapter 1402: The anger of Yuwen Chengdu
"My dear friends, you have worked hard these days. It is the credit of Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Aiqing who led the soldiers to defend the city at the top of the city. Of course, the others are under the city. Guaranteeing food and grass is also indispensable." Yang Guang rarely took the credit for Ashina's obstinate surrender, and he waved his hand vigorously, interrupting everyone's flattery.
Yang Guang's eyes are still red and swollen. I don't know if it's because he stayed up too late or because he was too frightened, but judging from the expression on his face, His Majesty the emperor who almost became a Turkic shepherd is obviously very happy with the current results. . Knowing that the courtiers were flattering, he was unwilling to point it out. He was just a little humble, and then praised all the courtiers who had been trembling with him.
It's just that he didn't mention Wang Rengong and Li Shimin's contribution to the king's army. Li Shimin and Wang Rengong immediately looked at each other, took the lead and knelt down, and said in unison: "I wait for the rescue to come late, please punish the crime."
Yang Guang snorted coldly, wanting to say something, but in the end he sighed and said, "I know it's not your fault, it's all Wang Junlin's fault, how dare you use my life as a bait to kill Turkic people?" If it wasn't for Ashina's aggressive heir who finally came to his senses and surrendered to me, wouldn't I have already fallen into the hands of the Turks."
Wang Rengong, Li Shimin and others quickly said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise."
…
…
"Imperial edicts don't have to be too complicated, I guess he can't understand Ashina's too complicated words!" Because the civil and military officials showed enough respect, Yang Guang has completely restored the dignity of His Majesty the Sui Emperor. Majestic and magnanimous, and what he said is very in line with the requirements of the magnanimous lord of the heavenly kingdom in the eyes of Confucians.
"Yu Aiqing, I will leave this imperial decree to you to write. Ashina is still in a hurry to go back outside the Great Wall to question Nashibi Khan on my behalf. Don't let him wait too long!" Yang Guang was considerate He said, but these words fell into Li Shimin's ears, and suddenly he felt that the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty had become a fool, a lunatic, and an idiot who deceived himself and others.
"The humble minister is leading the decree, so I'm going to write the imperial decree." Yu Shiji stepped out, bowed to Yang Guang respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty, but the minister is not wise enough, and I am afraid of harming the state. So after writing it Please correct me, Your Majesty. In addition, I think Ashina is a heir, and since he has sworn allegiance to the Sui Dynasty, His Majesty can make him a Turkic Khan, so that he can be grateful to His Majesty and never rebel!"
"The minister agrees with Mr. Yu's words. The minister is willing to go to Ash
The imperial decree was read out in the Battalion of Duobi Si, extolling my great Sui Tianwei!" Pei Shiju, not to be outdone, strode out and said loudly.
Yang Guang will never know that his two most trusted courtiers, Pei Shiju and Yu Shiji, both received a heavy gift from Ashina's heir last night, and that these treasures were actually the Turks who plundered wild geese. The people of the Sui Dynasty in other counties in Menjun County got it, but Shibi Khan didn't have time to take it away, and left it all to Ashina's heirs.
Ashina was so aggressive that he took out half of it and used it to bribe Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju, the two people most trusted by His Majesty the Sui Emperor. In Li Shimin's eyes, today's scene is simply absurd.
What Ashina Duosi bought from Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju at such a high price were two promises. First, he hoped that His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty could designate himself as the new Turkic Khan as he did to Shibi Khan, because he knew that even if his elder brother could escape back, his prestige would be greatly reduced. Some means can replace it.
Secondly, he hoped that the Emperor of the Great Sui would order to recall the Sui army who had already gone deep into the grassland, so that his people would not have to pay the price for this southern expedition.
The lofty Yang Guang suddenly straightened up, his face full of surprise. He heard clearly the advice of Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju, two of his most trusted ministers, but what he didn't understand was when the Sui soldiers and horses had killed the Turks' lair.
Yang Guang was very curious about who adopted this ingenious technique of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.
"Your Majesty, King Qin An sent an elite army to land on the northern side of the Goguryeo Peninsula by sea, and killed the Turkic people's lair." Li Shimin bowed suddenly and said.
Yang Guang snorted coldly, but did not answer, Li Shimin laughed secretly, and stepped aside.
"Your Majesty, I thought that Ashina should be killed, and then all the 30,000 Turkic troops under his command should be killed." Yu Wencheng, who had been suppressing his anger, suddenly jumped out of the crowd and said loudly .
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Ashina's request to surrender was due to the situation, not out of his own heart. Since our soldiers and horses of the Sui Dynasty have arrived at the Turkic lair, we should sweep the caves .Let all Turkic people in this southern expedition remember the lesson."
"I agree with General Yuwen's suggestion!" Zhang Jike stepped forward quickly and echoed loudly.
Yu Wencheng is the most trusted general of His Majesty the Emperor. As soon as his words fell, Wang Rengong gritted his teeth and stood up.
Said: "Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks that Ashina Duosi and the Turkic people outside Yanmen City should be killed."
"Your Majesty, although Ashina repented at the last moment, he was definitely not sincere. Just because he showed repentance, he must not forget that he led the troops to besiege Yanmen City."
After Wang Rengong, a lot of military officers stood up and suggested that Yang Guang should not agree to any conditions of Ashina Tubisi, and should kill Ashina Tubisi and the Turks.
Only Li Shimin was thoughtful and kept silent, arousing the angry eyes of Yu Wencheng and other generals.
Pei Shiju coughed lightly, and several scholars immediately stepped forward after hearing the sound, and had a tit-for-tat debate with Yuwen Chengdu, Zhang Jike and others. They are all famous Confucian scholars who Yang Guang asked Pei Shiju to come forward and supported with a lot of money. They all quoted scriptures and classics, learned about the past and discussed the present, and they were strict in righteousness.
"My Great Sui Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, so I should have a broad and tolerant style." A scholar who is full of elegance and looks like a well-educated scholar has a compassionate face, as if he has witnessed the enemy's goodwill towards the Great Sui court. Thank you so much.
Another famous Confucian from the south of the Yangtze River stood up and said: "Mencius said, the benevolent is invincible. When he seized his people, he scattered his wives and children. Your Majesty forgives his crimes for his people's hardships, and his people Hearing this, I must think of your Majesty's kindness and leave my heart away from my lord. Once the peace agreement is reached, if the other chieftain wants to regret it, his people will not dare to respond. In this way, our frontier fortress in the Sui Dynasty does not need a single soldier to be stationed, and it is as solid as a golden city!"
"Dare to ask you two, how can the barbarians know the kindness of my Majesty the Sui Dynasty because they can't understand the language of the Central Plains?" Although Zhang Jike knew that Wang Junlin had other arrangements, he still suppressed his anger and shouted loudly. asked rhetorically.
"Education, this shows the importance of enlightenment! Only the words of the ancient sages are regarded as the supreme in the world. Promote it deeply and practice it widely. If it does not exceed ten years, the land beyond the transformation will also be the Central Plains... "On the merits of debating, who can speak up to these famous Confucian scholars, each of whom speaks in a high-level way. Although Zhang Jike is also a scholar, he is actually a bandit military adviser. How can he speak up to these people.
"Fuck your parents!" Yu Wencheng led people to defend the city these days, and saw with his own eyes that nearly 100,000 defenders died and only a few thousand remained. Most of the people in the Manchu Dynasty died. He wished to kill all the Turkic people in the world, but he couldn't say enough about these famous Confucianists, and he cursed directly in anger. If His Majesty the Emperor wasn't here, he would really like to crush these people to death.
