Chapter 577: Rebellion
Yang Xingyun immediately nodded.
Zhao Yulin felt that Xing Yun was good at logistics planning, and told him that the war was about to be over, and he could consider transferring to a civilian position to govern the country and Hebei.
Yang Xingyun's mind skipped a beat and he was stunned.
He asked with a smile: What's the matter?
Are you reluctant to part with your military uniform?
He really thought that his brother was thoughtful and suitable for handling major state affairs, so he made the suggestions.
Don't rush to answer.
Zhao Yulin accompanied Lao Cao and Meng Gong and continued south to Jiankang Prefecture without waiting for Yang Xingyun to make a decision.
Meng Gong said with a smile: It's still early, are you already arranging a retreat for General Yang?
He really believed that Yang Xingyun was suitable for local governance and should be placed in the most suitable position.
Yang Xingyun sent Zhao Yulin back to the government office feeling a little disappointed and went straight to the back hall. His wife came out and saw that he was in a bad mood. She thought he was scolded by the third young master and asked him what was wrong.
Did the third young master scold you?
Yang Xingyun said with a bit of annoyance: It's good to be scolded, but it's not a scolding, it's that the Third Young Master doesn't want us to lead the army.
The lady was shocked and asked him what he had done wrong.
What did you say wrong?
He actually asked the Third Young Master to be demoted and dismissed from his post.
The woman carefully handed him the teacup and told her master not to be anxious and to have some tea to moisten his throat.
Then this girl told what Zhao Yulin had said.
After hearing this, the lady immediately blamed him for making a fuss and frightening the baby. She said: Third Young Master is thinking about the master. Usually the master takes care of everything, like Zhuge Kongming, and is very concerned about construction and farming. He is really suitable for governing the place.
Most of the tea that Yang Xingyun had just taken in his mouth spat out with a puff. He was already amused by his wife's words and his face showed joy.
He smiled and said that if his husband really wanted to catch up to half of Zhuge's ability, would he still have to go to work in the local areas?
Madam is really good at joking.
The woman was also from a martial arts family. She went up to him and massaged his shoulders and neck, saying with a smile: This is because the Third Young Master loves his master. After we have recovered Yanyun, there will be fewer and fewer wars. Why do we need so many generals gathering together?
The third young master intends to hand over Daming Mansion to the master to manage, which is to find a way out for the master.
Daming Prefecture was the secondary capital of the previous dynasty. It is a huge city with a population of nearly one million. If the lord of such a complete city governs it well, it will surely prosper.
After the woman's words, Yang Xingyun's brows had already relaxed and he was happy.
He was about to submit a letter to resign from his military post, but was stopped by the woman, who told him that he had to focus on military affairs in the north and that he only needed to write a letter to the third young master and obey his orders, and that the third young master could rest assured.
Yang Xingyun closed his eyes comfortably and enjoyed his wife's caring massage.
Zhao Yulin was still swaying on the boat, and had no idea that the couple had such a heart-to-heart talk. It seems that having a good wife at home is extremely important.
If this woman is narrow-minded and adds fuel to the fire after hearing her husband being humiliated, it is possible that a leading general like Yang Xingyun will lose his mind, quit his job and go astray, or even surrender to the enemy and rebel.
The Datong Prefecture in the north has been garrisoned . Now he is struggling with whether to rebel and declare himself an independent king.
This guy learned from the personal guards of Guiyou who escaped from Altai that his brother, the dear Guiyou Khan, was dead, and the Khan's eldest son, Crown Prince Hecha, was also chopped into pieces by Mengge.
The psychology of expanding and shortening the battlefield was greatly shocked.
Such a huge matter was completely suppressed by Mengge, which shows that all the princes, ministers and generals who accompanied him had surrendered to Mengge.
I sighed, how long has he been on the Khan's throne? It's about to change hands again.
Last year, they lost Linzhou, and this year they lost Bingzhou. This means that the New Song army has closed the door to the south to plunder Hedong. The power of the grassland empire is retreating step by step back to the prairie.
He couldn't sleep for three days in a row. After thinking it over, he estimated that it was impossible for his family to keep the Khan position. He didn't have the ability to do so. He felt that he had to go to the royal court to find Lemazhen to get the maximum benefit.
This guy is efficient and quick in doing things. He does things as soon as he thinks about it. As soon as he left the yamen, he saw the messenger from the royal court arriving.
When the fellow took the secret letter, he saw that it was the letter from Lemazhen urgently summoning him. Without hesitation, Kuoduan mounted his horse and galloped northward surrounded by a group of personal guards.
In Daxing Prefecture in the east, Hubili also received the secret letter from his brother.
Damengge happily told Hubili that the mission was accomplished. Not only had his friend passed away, but even his eldest son Hecha was taken away by the gods. All the kings acknowledged his position as the boss, and he only had to undergo a ceremony to become the Khan.
Hubili was very excited and was also amazed at how cruel his brother was, as he actually killed your friend's eldest son.
However, he had no time to think about these details. He immediately handed over Daxing Prefecture to Shi Tianze for garrison according to his brother's instructions, and gathered 50,000 elite soldiers to go to the royal court with Tacaer.
At this time, Tachaer was finished. His cavalry was completely lost in the battle of Daming Prefecture, and even a few thousand-household and white-household generals were left.
This guy knew that Da Mengge was about to become the leader of the grassland, so he had to follow closely.
At this moment, Zhao Yulin, Cao Youwen, Meng Gong and his party followed the Grand Canal into the Yangtze River and went upstream to Jianwei. The three of them inspected Jiayang Xinzhai with great interest and were very satisfied. Xinzhai planned to build a railway to transport coal directly to Minshui Wharf. The coal mine not only has a living area for miners and a machinery processing plant, but also a railway train maintenance workshop. It is a large new industrial base for the New Song Kingdom.
Yang Jicheng, the prefect of Jiading, reported that all the migrant workers in Jiading had been mobilized to build the railway and Jiayang Village this year, and the entire railway line was filled with scenes of intense labor.
Meng Gong said happily that it was great. Once the railway was completed, Jiayang's coal could be quickly transported to all directions to meet the needs of the workshops.
Seeing such a huge project, Zhao Yulin was worried that inadequate logistical support and insufficient preparation would delay the construction period, and it would not be completed in three to five years.
After giving Yang Jicheng some instructions, the three of them rested in Jiading for a night and then boarded the ship to head north to Chengdu.
In Huaxi Village in Chengdu, Old Lady Xie and the old emperor who were spending the summer on Qingcheng Mountain had already returned to Huaxi Villa.
Old Mrs. Xie was enjoying the oxygen-rich and cool air on Qingcheng Mountain. After receiving the careful care of the Ministry of Rites, her body recovered quickly. Her complexion became more and more rosy, and her whole spirit and spirit felt much better. She became more energetic, and she was eager to take back her imperial power.
She talked to her son indirectly several times and found out that the emperor was satisfied with his current leisurely life and had no intention of sitting on the throne to rule the country again. He didn't even want to be an emperor emeritus.
Old Lady Xie was very disappointed and asked him: "My son, don't you want to save our Lan'er?" But she is the emperor's biological daughter and the apple of my mother's eye.
The emperor doesn't want to go to Luoyang or Kaifeng, where the Zhao family's ancestral tombs are.
The emperor knew that the reason why she talked about all this nonsense was simply because she was concerned about the glory and privileges of her as the queen mother and wanted to make a comeback.
He said indifferently: Daming Prefecture has only been recovered for a few days, Luoyang and Kaifeng still belong to the border areas of the New Song Dynasty, the court has not lifted the ban, and free entry and exit are not allowed. How can I make demands and ask for trouble?
Old Mrs. Xie was speechless, and started to act hysterically again, questioning him: How could my son, the emperor, be so weak and incompetent?
The emperor was completely speechless and asked his mother what to do?
Do you want to fight Feiyan for power?
Before we even got to Chengdu, Zhao Yulin had already demoted Shi's son to an ordinary research official, exiled several old dogs who followed him and made noises, and eliminated those who still wanted to restore the monarchy. Now Chengdu is terrified of the emperor, and everyone is afraid of being associated with the royal family. Who else can be found to do the work for the empress dowager?
Old Mrs. Xie was not convinced, and asked him to pass a message to Zhao Feiyan, asking her to have a good talk with her good granddaughter about the Zhao family's affairs.
The emperor said that Feiyan was still his good girl and was busy. How could a king of a country have so much free time?
Old Mrs. Xie asked sternly again: Is she so busy that she doesn’t even have time to visit her mother-in-law?
Call me here.
The emperor asked in displeasure: When did you really regard Feiyan as your granddaughter? Are you still a bitch in your heart?
He looked at Xie Wuhui in the distance and said expressionlessly: Grandma Xie is in such a bad mood, how can she meet the King of Feiyan?
It’s better to take a good rest.
The emperor stood up before he finished speaking, and walked towards his study without waiting for the old lady to say anything.
Old Mrs. Xie was so angry that she cried and yelled and cursed everyone she met. Even the imperial concubine kept hiding from her.
The Queen was having a great time in Qingcheng Mountain. She asked the Imperial Concubine with a smile: Why don’t you go to the Queen Mother’s place?
The imperial concubine frowned and said she was scared. The old woman wailed every other day and she didn't dare to go.
The emperor was so annoyed by the empress dowager's howling in the backyard that he could no longer simply wandered around Huaxi Village with the empress and the imperial concubines, and he happily accepted Wu Jing and the others calling him grandpa.
That day, the Queen Mother was still cursing the Emperor in the courtyard, calling him a coward. Zhao Yulin helped Zhao Feiyan in, and she started by calling her father, aunt, and second aunt.
The emperor was happy and invited everyone to sit down in the living room and talk.
Zhao Yulin followed suit and called out "Daddy" and talked to Zhao Feiyan, asking about her well-being.
The Queen saw Feiyan's bulging belly and asked her in surprise: Are you pregnant again? How long have you been pregnant?
But you must rest well.
Feiyan looked at Zhao Yulin and happily told them: I feel embarrassed to go to court this month. But I don't feel tired yet.
The old emperor said with a look of joy that we must not be careless and should rule the country from behind the curtain.
The eldest and second wives immediately said: Yes, yes, yes, just hang up a thicker curtain, it’s okay.
Zhao Yulin told them with a smile: This is not popular in the New Song Dynasty, Feiyan can take a leave.
The imperial concubine immediately said: How can we do that? We can’t do that. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. We can’t do ?
Outside the door, Old Lady Xie came in with the help of the old nanny, and praised the imperial concubine loudly for what she said. The country cannot be without a master for a day, so how can it be easily handed over to others?
The emperor immediately looked displeased.
The Queen and the Imperial Concubine immediately stood up and gave their seats to Old Lady Xie.
