Dajin royal family

Chapter 323

Royal study.

The emperor was yelling at the watchman Jiang Xiong.

The content of the scolding is relatively simple, and there is nothing difficult to understand. The simple summary is that Jiang Shiyan, the son of King Guan and successor of Liaodong County, died, which caused the Xi people to invade and plunder the three counties of Liaodong many times.

That's fine, the key is that Goguryeo rebelled many times, and Jiang Shiyan couldn't put down the rebellion.

The most important reason why King Guan was scolded today was that Lu Mingyue of Anle County rebelled, gathering tens of thousands of people to come and go freely in Zhuo County.

The papers asking the imperial court to suppress the bandits have been piled up on the emperor's desk one after another in the past few days.

The emperor was tired enough. First, Qingzhou failed to suppress the bandits, and then the Jiangnan rebel organization failed to catch him.

Now Lu Mingyue came again, and finally let the emperor find a way to vent.

Jiang Shiyanyuan naturally had no way to find fault in Liaodong, but Guanwang Jiangxiong was unlucky and got scolded for his son.

"I have high hopes for him, which is why I appointed him as the governor of Liaodong. But look, these are all the records of the imperial censor!"

The emperor grabbed the memorial on the dragon case and threw it all on Guan Wang's head with a bang.

The smashed Guan Wang's mind was buzzing.

"Your Majesty has been disappointed because I have no way to teach my son. I am willing to be punished." King Guan kowtowed.

What else could he say at this time, nothing at all.

When the emperor asked Jiang Shiyan to serve as the governor of Liaodong, he had opposed it. He knew his son better than anyone else.

The matter of Zongsi has not been sorted out. Isn't it a joke for you to ask him to be the sheriff of any county?

How can the emperor punish him?

Calling him here today is to vent his anger, and he will be gone after scolding.

At this moment, the servant Tong Chuan Wudu King was waiting outside the imperial study, and the emperor announced it.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Chengxiao bowed and saluted, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Xiong lying on the ground, he was relieved, it seemed that he really wasn't here for him.

"Exemption."

The emperor said: "Look at the memorial."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, picked up a memorial from the ground, and read it at a glance.

After reading it, I generally understood why Guan Wang was lying on the ground, and Jiang Shiyan's errands were messed up.

"Your Majesty, according to my opinion, the fact that the Xi people dared to cross the border to attack the three counties of Liaodong should be because they knew that Goguryeo was rebelling frequently, and Lu Mingyue was defeated by the minister and fled to Anle County. It has the shadow of the Xi tribe."

"Even, the two of them may have colluded together."

The emperor nodded. He had stayed in Liaodong for a period of time, and he could guess this with just a few words.

"Then tell me, what should I do?"

Jiang Chengxiao thought for a while, and said: "First, Lu Mingyue invaded Zhuojun and occupied Changping County, which shows that he is no longer satisfied with occupying the mountain as king, and he probably wants to imitate the violent bandits in Qingzhou."

"Don't think about it! You are a traitor!" The emperor shouted angrily.

"Secondly, the Xi tribe's invasion of the three counties in Liaodong must be guarded against. Once they know the reality of Hebei, it may cause even greater harm."

"Third, Goguryeo's rebellion is impermanent, and it must be suppressed, otherwise it will cause even greater troubles."

After a pause, Jiang Chengxiao continued: "What I mean is that Lu Mingyue must be suppressed immediately. If Lu Mingyue really occupies the city, and the court fails to suppress the bandits, it may aggravate the turmoil in Hebei."

"For the matter of the Xi people, you can choose a general to garrison and resist. Goguryeo must be suppressed bloody, otherwise there will be troubles in the future."

The emperor nodded and agreed with what Jiang Chengxiao said.

"Tell me about your plan for dispatching troops."

Jiang Chengxiao bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Mingyue is not afraid of the county soldiers in Hebei at all. He must go forward with elites and be wiped out by thunder. And the troops of the three counties outside the pass are being dragged by the Xi Clan. Goguryeo may be overwhelmed."

In fact, Jiang Chengxiao could also tell that the emperor didn't want to recruit elites from the court, so he was biting the bullet.

After the words fell, the emperor fell into a tangle.

Of course he knew that Jiang Chengxiao was right, because the last time Lu Mingyue rebelled in Yuyang County, the local governor asked the imperial court to send troops to suppress it.

And that time, it was Jiang Chengxiao who suppressed it.

The troops of the three counties outside the pass must guard against grassland tribes such as the Xi people, and the rebellion in Goguryeo is indeed difficult to deal with.

Now we must first solve Lu Mingyue, stabilize Hebei, then repel the Xi people, and finally suppress Goguryeo.

But the premise of all this is that the imperial court sends troops to suppress it, and it needs to send powerful generals.

However, after two defeats in Qingzhou, the emperor no longer trusted the younger generation of generals.

In other words, he didn't dare to underestimate these violent bandits.

Otherwise, if Hebei does not do enough to suppress the bandits, I am afraid that the bandits will be agitated as Jiang Chengxiao said.

But who to send?

"Qingque, who do you think can quell the banditry in Hebei for me?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao couldn't help feeling disappointed, it seemed that the emperor was really wary of him.

Withdrawing his emotions, Jiang Chengxiao leaned forward and said: "I don't know many generals, but there are two people I think are okay."

"Say."

"One is Duke Jing Yang Gan, and the other is Pharmacist Li."

The reason why Jiang Chengxiao recommended these two people was also after careful consideration. First of all, he had worked with these two people and knew what they were capable of.

Secondly, he also wanted to tell the emperor that I really don't know the other generals in the court.

But the emperor was not very satisfied after hearing his words.

Yang Gan, Duke of Jing, inherited the title of his father Yang Taisu, Duke of Chu, and is now the city defense general of Luoyang City.

The emperor has no appetite for people involving Yang Taisu.

As for Pharmacist Li.
"Qingque, who is this Li Yaoshi?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this person is the son of the late Lord Jingguo, and is currently the county lieutenant of Bing County."

Speaking of this position, Jiang Chengxiao couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassed. Li Yaoshi has had a bad life these years.

The emperor frowned. It turns out that Li Yaoshi is the son of Li Qinhu, but now he is just a small county captain. What ability can he have to suppress the bandits?
"Are there any other candidates?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

After asking this sentence, Jiang Chengxiao knew that the emperor was not satisfied with the two people he said.

"Chen, it's gone." Jiang Chengxiao said.

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Qingque, do you want to go to Liaodong by yourself?"

His tone was full of doubts.

Jiang Chengxiao gave a 'thud' in his heart, and then shook his head calmly.

"I still say the same thing, wherever your majesty wants me to fight, I will fight wherever I want."

The emperor was silent for a while, and then sighed, "I also know that it is most appropriate to send you to Liaodong to fight the bandits, or even Qingzhou to fight the bandits, but in my eyes, those are just a small test of the sword."

"Is there no one in my court who can deal with mere bandits? A small bandit wants my champion to go. This is really a joke for all the subjects in the world."

Jiang Chengxiao sneered in his heart, and what he said was high-sounding, but he was not seriously suspicious.

But having said that, who else in the court would dare to use it with confidence?
"I understand." Jiang Chengxiao cupped his hands.

The emperor said: "Think about it again, who else can be of great use."

This sentence made Jiang Chengxiao immediately vigilant. Could the emperor be using this to probe his contacts, or to test him?

"Xu Guogong is brave and good at fighting, maybe he can." Jiang Chengxiao fooled.

Through this incident, he basically understood that the emperor has not relaxed his vigilance against him.

He was a little impatient. The matter in Liaodong should be postponed to the beginning, maybe the effect will be different.

The emperor was a little angry, and Yu Wenshu was sent to Chang'an by him, and it was clearly an excuse to say this.

At this moment, A Weng rushed in quickly.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

"What's the fuss about it, how decent it is!" the emperor shouted angrily, dissatisfied.

A Weng didn't have time to plead guilty, so he knelt on the ground and wept, "Your Majesty, the prince is dead!"

With a bang, the emperor was instantly stunned.

Not only the emperor was stunned, but Jiang Chengxiao and Guan Wang who was kneeling on the ground were also stunned.

The prince actually died?

At this moment, Jiang Chengxiao's heart was blank. The prince died, so he died?
"What did you say?!"

The emperor walked down in two or three steps, grabbing A Weng by the collar.

"Who is dead!"

"His Royal Highness."

"How did you die?!"

"Chang'an urgent report, the prince is worried and depressed, and died suddenly in the study last night."

"Sudden death?"

The emperor seemed to be drained of all his strength at this moment, and let go of A Weng tremblingly.

"How could it be, how could it be a sudden death, how could it be."

Suddenly, the emperor only felt a sharp pain in his head, his eyes went dark, and he fell straight down.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"
