Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 497
Li Min was beaten until he lost half of his teeth. After returning home, half of his face was swollen like a pig's head.Yuwen Eying has never suffered such a big loss. Thinking of her daughter of an emperor, although she had a bad birth and was replaced by her grandfather when she was born in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, she is still much better than other princesses who died.

After all, the new emperor is her grandfather, and her mother is no longer the queen mother of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but can be a princess of the Sui Dynasty again.She lost the title of princess, but she is no different from a princess.

Now, her husband was beaten like this, and she was humiliated in public. When she thought of those Shandong soldiers grabbing her hands and feet, she felt uncomfortable all over.

How can you swallow this breath when something like this happens?

Yuwen Eying went directly to the palace.

With her status, it is not difficult to enter the palace.She first went to Queen Xiao to cry and begged her aunt to make the decision.When Empress Xiao heard this, she was also taken aback. Brother Luo Cheng had just made great achievements, so why did he commit such a thing when he first entered Beijing.

"Don't cry yet, I'm going to see His Majesty right now."

"I have to meet His Majesty myself, so I must seek justice."

Xiao Shi had no choice but to take Yuwen Eying with her.

Yang Guang was looking at a map, and he was looking at a map of Liaodong.

This time Yang Xuangan's rebellion forced him to end the second conquest of Goguryeo ahead of schedule. Now that the rebellion has subsided, he is studying the map again and preparing to reconquer.

Over there, Gao Jianwu, the new king of Goguryeo, has sent a letter of surrender.

Weeping and complaining that before Gao Yuan Wudao disobeyed the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, now that he has succeeded to the throne, he is willing to seek peace with all his heart and so on.Of course, Yang Guang would not pay attention to this kind of surrender. If he was no longer able to march eastward, he might just push the boat along and accept the surrender, which could be regarded as finding a way for himself.

But now that the situation is very good, the rebellion has been quelled, and the Sui Dynasty has occupied the land of the four counties in Liaodong, and the eastward expedition will continue, and the destruction of Goguryeo is just around the corner. Why should he agree to surrender at this time?

Yang Guang didn't even recognize the king Gao Jianwu. There was only one king of Goguryeo and that was Gao Yuan, and Gao Yuan was now in Luoyang City and was his captive.

Since Gao Yuan was captured, he has behaved fairly submissively, so Yang Guang has made Gao Yuan the Marquis of Gong Shun. Whenever foreign envoys come to the court, Yang Guang will send someone to call Gao Yuan to accompany the guests. There are quite a few people with the same status as Gao Yuan, Yang Guang.

For example, Prince Murongshun of Tuyuhun, Chuluo Khan of Western Turks, King Liuqiu, and King Linyi were all Tibetan kings who were summoned to the court after defeat and could not return.

Yang Guang didn't kill these people, and every time a foreigner came, he took them out to decorate his appearance.

"Your Majesty, the empress is here."

Yang Guang put down the map in his hand, and Empress Xiao had already come over with a bowl of chilled grapes.

"Your Majesty, I don't take much rest in such a hot day. Don't tire yourself out. These are grapes prepared by my concubine for Your Majesty. I chilled them to relieve the heat."

The emperor couldn't help smiling when he saw how considerate Empress Xiao was.

To put it bluntly speaking, Yang Guang is actually more dedicated. Although he is not as good as his father who only had children with Queen Dugu all his life, as the king of a country, although there are concubines in Yang Guang's harem, there are not many concubines. Just five or six, not as good as ordinary officials and princes.

Moreover, although there are some concubines in the harem, he seldom favors them, and more often, he still likes to be with Empress Xiao who is three years older than him.

The husband and wife got married earlier, and now they have been married for almost 30 years. Since the earliest time when King Jin was born, Xiao has been with him all the time, and the husband and wife work together to achieve today.

"Looking at the map again?" Mrs. Xiao put down the grapes and helped the emperor clean up the table.

"Well, now that Yang Ni has been defeated, I plan to seize the time to conquer Goguryeo again."

"It's summer now, the weather is extremely hot, so it's not suitable for using soldiers?"

"Indeed, it's not good to send troops to Liaodong on a large scale this year, but I'm thinking about sending Luo Cheng to take over as the prefect of Liaodong, and let him control the soldiers and horses of the six counties in Liaodong and Liaoxi. There is no need to send additional troops there. If you have the opportunity, you can send troops to take down Anshi first. In this way, from Xincheng to Liaodong to Anshi, Jian'an, and Lushun, you will be able to get through. After next spring, you can send more troops The road directly reaches the domestic city, and at that time Goguryeo will be destroyed in one fell swoop."

Xiao smiled on the back, but he was not very interested in these conquests in his heart.

After tidying up the table, the queen helped the emperor rub his shoulders again.

"Your Majesty, that general of yours did something wrong just now." As he spoke, he told the story of Luo Cheng beating Li Min in front of Yang Su's house.

Yang Guang frowned upon hearing this.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Ms. Yuwen was crying. If it wasn't for this, she wouldn't have come into the palace to complain. However, the concubine thinks that things are definitely not what she said. There may be some inside story. Your Majesty may wish to appease you first." Yuwen, and then send someone to investigate carefully, and then talk about it."

"Well, Queen, you are right. If you listen to both, you will understand, and if you listen to only one, you will believe. But this Luo Cheng is really capable of causing trouble. When he first arrived in Luoyang, he made such things before I even saw anyone else."

"Actually, your Majesty should not be too angry. Young people are always impulsive. However, I have observed Luo Siye before, and he is a relatively stable person. Mr. Luo Cheng is not too bad."

After much deliberation, Yang Guang decided that it would be better to meet and ask Luo Cheng in person.

"Come here, call Luo Jianma into the palace to see me."

Empress Xiao said softly, "The concubine will step down first."

"No, you're here, help me observe this guy, I know you are careful, and you are more unique in seeing people."

"It's not convenient."

"What's the inconvenience? It's not like I summoned you in the Golden Palace. It's fine here. There aren't so many etiquette rules."

About half an hour later, Luo Cheng answered the call.

The first time he met the king, he deliberately went to take a shower and change clothes.

He took off his armor and robe, and put on a purple robe with a jade belt and beam crown, and a purple ribbon and gold seal.

As the servant came to the palace, he turned left and right, and finally stepped into a large hall, where he saw the emperor.

According to the rules explained by the servant, Luo Cheng didn't dare to look up and stare at the emperor all the time. He just glanced at the emperor as soon as he entered the palace, and then immediately lowered his head.

At that glance, he had already seen clearly that the emperor was nearly fifty years old, and although his beard and hair were still black, his face was already a bit old.But the appearance is not bad, especially the temperament is very good.

And next to the queen, there seemed to be an elegant and luxurious woman, she looked very young, I don't know if she was 40 or [-] years old, she was very temperamental and feminine.

He guessed that it was Empress Xiao.

"Chen Luocheng pays homage to the Supreme!"

It is the duty of a courtier to praise and worship the name. Unless he reaches a certain level of qualifications, he may be granted the qualification to praise and worship without being named by the emperor.

"Luo Cheng, raise your head."

A majestic voice came.
