The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 120 Extortion
On this day, news of Li Yuan's peace talks reached Yecheng!

"Li Yuan wants peace talks? Talk about what? What's there to talk about?"

"Pei Ju, Minister of Rites of the Li Tang Dynasty, as an envoy, proposed a reconciliation proposal, saying that the army led by Pei Ji would withdraw from Taiyuan City, and Li Tang's ships would pick them up from Lishi County, and then give us a complete Taiyuan City. "Yang Gongren had a speechless, stiff, and bitter expression on his face.

Everyone's faces turned red immediately, and each of them became distorted in a weird way!
Yang Tong laughed loudly and said, "Laugh if you want! It's not good to hold back."

In an instant!

The whole hall fell into a sea of ​​joy.

After a long time, Wei Zheng said solemnly: "Your Highness, Pei Ju was highly valued by Emperor Taizong Wu, and he became a prime minister step by step! But he didn't want to serve the country, and he actually became Li's envoy. The crime of traitor is cut down."

"The minister reconsidered! This traitorous minister and traitor must not be tolerated!" Kong Yingda was so angry that he wished he could act as an executioner.

Yang Tong sweated profusely.

To be honest, he really didn't want to kill Pei Ju.

Pei Ju was also right.It is all because of Yang Guang's style of handling things that Pei Ju is what he is today.

The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, which led to the birth of many treacherous officials.

Take Yu Shiji as an example!

This is a capable minister of a first-class person. Before Yang Guang abandoned the government, he was a person who could speak out and advise, such as asking the emperor to reward soldiers and suspend the war against Liaodong. These are all correct ideas.Even if Yang Guang got hot-headed or even dizzy later, he could still ask Yang Guang to send troops to the Luokou warehouse as a precaution. "Yes, he became an out-and-out sycophant.

Pei Ju was even better.

He is a well-known diplomat and strategist in the Sui Dynasty. He once split the Turks with divisive tactics and weakened their strength through internal friction, thereby reducing the threat to the Central Plains. He surrendered to the great Sui Dynasty and expanded the territory for thousands of miles. It is said in history that "communication between China and the West is more successful than Zhang Qian".In addition, Pei Ju is also a well-known geographer. He once compiled three volumes of "Pictures of the Western Regions", which recorded the geographical data of 44 countries in the Western Regions. The evil king Shi Zhixuan in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was created based on him.

What's even more amazing is that in the tenth year of Emperor Kaihuang, Pei Ju was ordered to governor Lingnan. Before he left, Gao Zhihui and Wang Wenjin made trouble in Jiangnan, and the commander-in-chief Wang Zhongxuan ordered Zhou Shiju to besiege Dongheng Prefecture.Pei Ju, a literati, commanded [-] troops of good and bad to break the siege of Hengzhou first, defeated the rebels in Dayuling and Yuanchangling successively, beheaded Zhou Shiju, and fought all the way to the South China Sea.

It's really awesome.

It was such a diplomat with both civil and military skills and a capable minister who governed the world. In the late period of the Daye Dynasty, Yang Guang was forced to play like a veteran.

Blame it?

Blame Yang Guang.

In the era when the world was in turmoil and rebels were everywhere, Pei Ju was still loyal. He told Yang Guang the news of the rebellion truthfully, but Yang Guang was furious and punished him. Some remonstrance.

Later, Jiangdu Xiaoguo's army was homesick and fled Jiangdu one after another.It was Pei Ju who suggested that Jiangdu widows and unmarried women should be assigned to soldiers so that they could start families in Jiangdu, and Jiangdu Xiaoguo's army's morale could gradually stabilize.

Such a talented person with outstanding merits did not disappoint Yang Guang's respect, it was Yang Guang himself who did not give him another chance to serve the Sui Dynasty.

Now that Yang Guang is dead, and Pei Ju has become a minister without a master, what's wrong with surrendering to Li Yuan?

"Pei Ju once made contributions to the country and the nation. He surrendered to Li Tang after the death of Emperor Taizong Wu! We are different from Emperor Taizong Wu's dynasty, and he is not my subject... Just treat him as the first time we met, and put him to death. It is enough to see that it is the envoy of Li and Tang! It is an old saying not to kill the envoy between the two countries. If we kill Pei Ju, it will be too arrogant to be the lord of the world. On the battlefield, it will be more obvious to capture and kill him. Majestic momentum."

When Yang Tong said this, his eyes were like a falcon overlooking the people, and his whole body was filled with arrogance.

"Your Highness is magnificent!" Yang Gongren agreed.

Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda gave Yang Gongren a blank look at the same time, feeling that Grandpa has become a cheapskate.

Fang Xuanling asked with a smile: "Your Highness, how should I answer Pei Ju?"

He, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, is now also the mission of the Ministry of Rites. In Yang Gongren's words, those who are able do more work.

"Tell him the truth, Taiyuan City has fallen into the hands of my Tai Sui! Pei Ji, Pei Yang, Li Shentong, Li Shuliang, Li Deliang, Duan Lun, Li Zhongwen and other civil and military officials, as well as Li Yuan's sister and brother-in-law's family sold 200 million shi of grain , one million taels of gold, and two corpses of Li Shenfu and Shi Wanbao for free!"

"..."

too dark!
"Can Li Yuan agree?"

Yang Tong smiled lightly, "Let everyone in Guanzhong know that Li Yuan wants to trade with us, but he just bought Pei Ji, Li Shentong, Li Shuliang, Li Deliang, Duan Lun and his brother-in-law's family, regardless of the life and death of ordinary soldiers. .”

Yang Gongren, Fang Xuanling, Yang Shidao, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Jiang Xingben, Liu Zhenghui, and Ling Jing exchanged glances, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes. They knew that Yang Tong would definitely open his mouth this time, but they didn't expect such a huge amount.Suddenly, they all felt that they were too honest.Especially Yang Shidao and Ling Jing, who are in charge of money, feel this way. They try their best to increase income and reduce expenditure, but it is not as good as Yang Tong's ruthless trick.

With such a pressure, Li Yuan will not be able to do without redemption. After all the calculations, the results are really too astonishing.

"Can he afford him?" Fang Xuanling's thoughts short-circuited.

Yang Tong was speechless: "What are you worrying about? The rich and powerful in Guanlong have money to pay, and those who have food to pay for food, Li Yuan is rich."

"Hey!" Fang Xuanling laughed.

"Gather all the disabled and seriously injured soldiers from Bingzhou to Hedong County! Sell them to Li Yuan together. These people were all wounded in the battle with our army, and we have no obligation to support them... The lonely and widowed old people were also caused by Li Yuan. We are also not obliged to support them! By the way, the disabled and seriously injured soldiers who belonged to Liu Wuzhou, and the lonely old people were also gathered together, and all of them were raised by Li Yuan, a bastard! When the transaction was made, they were all Li Yuan's soldiers."

When everyone heard this, they were a little ashamed.

It's just that although the method was darker and more ruthless, it was able to throw the heavy burden on Li Yuan.

"Anyway! Not enough people, let the corpses come together."

Everyone sweated profusely.

Don't even spare the corpse?
However, everyone also knew that Yang Tong was just talking. In this hot weather, the corpses had already been burned to ashes.

Do not deal with it, waiting for the plague?

With Yang Tong's idea, Fang Xuanling, acting as the deputy of the Ministry of Rites, went to meet Pei Ju aggressively.

　Just a little description of the warm affection between husband and wife, and someone will report it!Does it have to be hard to beat and kill?
