At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 520

In Jiangdu Palace, the maids escaped from the emperor's bedroom screaming in horror. The guards outside seemed to be used to this phenomenon, and they walked in calmly. Sure enough, they saw a pair of clothes The disorganized female body was lying in a pool of blood.

The guards all recognized that this female corpse was the beauty presented by Jiangdu Tongshou Wang Shichong last month. She was sixteen years old and very juicy. She was favored by Yang Guang as soon as she entered the palace and was named One of the nine concubines in the harem, unexpectedly died in less than a month and died in the emperor's bedroom.

However, the emperor now likes impermanence, killing and hurting people is a common occurrence, there will always be a bloodshed incident every ten days and half a month, either the palace maids and eunuchs are unlucky, or the harem concubines are unlucky.

At this time, I saw Yang Guang standing with his sword in his pajamas, disheveled hair, gloomy face, blood dripping from the sword, and the gloomy eyes made people shudder.

The guards didn't even dare to vent their breath, they wrapped the disheveled woman's body in a sheet and prepared to carry it out for disposal.

"The empress is here." There was a shout from outside the bedroom, and Empress Xiao walked in in response.

The guards hurriedly stopped to salute: "See empress."

Empress Xiao glanced at the bloody sheets, her expression didn't fluctuate, she just waved her hand to signal the guards to carry the body out, and then went straight to Yang Guangxing.

Empress Xiao walked in front of Yang Guang, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped off the blood on her husband's face, and said softly: "Why did the emperor use the sword again, just kill a few people, just order the guards to come. Why bother to do it yourself and hurt yourself carefully."

After finishing speaking, Empress Xiao snatched the sword from Yang Guang's hand, threw it aside, then hugged the latter, and gently patted Yang Guang's back like coaxing a child.

Yang Guang's gloomy face softened slightly, and he said coldly: "Now everyone wants to plot against me, and besides you, the queen, no one around me is sincere to me."

Empress Xiao frowned and said: "Why did the emperor say that? Besides the concubine, isn't there Qing Ruo? Wang Shichong, Zhang Xutuo, Gao Changqing, Yu Shiji, Yu Wenshu, Pei Ju, Pei Yun are not all loyal to the emperor? "

Yang Guang snorted coldly and said, "I'm talking about sincerity, not loyalty, and are the people you mentioned really loyal to me? I don't think so. They are loyal to me on the surface, but they are trying to plot against me."

Empress Xiao said softly: "I feel that they are all very loyal to the Emperor, so please stop being suspicious, Your Majesty, and sleep well." After finishing speaking, she took a sweet-smelling red pill from her bosom and delivered it to the Yang Guang's lips.

When Yang Guang saw it, his eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't wait to open his mouth to drink it. Empress Xiao personally brought warm water for Yang Guang to drink.

Leaning slightly, Yang Guang's complexion became rosy and radiant, and he seemed to be a few years younger, and said comfortably: "Pan Zhenren's pure Yang pill is really miraculous. Every time I take it, I feel warm and comfortable all over, as if With inexhaustible strength, I returned to my youth.”

Empress Xiao smiled and said: "The emperor is very young."

Yang Guang's heart became hot, he put his arms around Empress Xiao's moving waist and said: "After so many years, your appearance and body are still so charming, Empress, and have not changed at all."

Empress Xiao Yanshimeixing is indeed very charming, her body and skin are well maintained, she is not at all like a middle-aged woman who has given birth to several children, and her mature charm is not generally charming.

"Your majesty is lying, my concubine is already a filth, otherwise why has my majesty not touched her for so long?" Empress Xiao said with a bit of resentment, and even twisted her waist a few times.

Yang Guang was in a blaze of fire immediately, he picked up Empress Xiao and walked towards the dragon bed, said with a smile: "It seems that I have neglected the empress recently, I have to make up for it."

Soon, the dragon bed began to shake, but the blood on the ground was still wet.

…………

Yang Qingruo was stopped by the guards in the bedroom, she frowned and said, "I want to see the emperor."

The guard said politely: "The empress is inside, it is inconvenient for the emperor to see Chief Qing now."

Yang Qingruo was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around and drove away. Not far away, he met Pan Shizheng, who called out: "Junior Sister Qing!"

Yang Qingruo frowned and said, "Senior Brother Pan, don't follow me, just go about your own business."

Master Pan said bluntly, "Master asked me to protect you before leaving."

"No need, I can protect myself, and I ask senior brother not to offer tiger and wolf medicine to the emperor in the future, too much of this kind of medicine is useless." Yang Qingruo said coldly.

Pan Shizheng said bitterly: "I can't refuse."

"You don't have to refuse, just leave Jiangdu!" Yang Qingruo drove straight away.

Master Pan didn't follow, but looked in the direction of Yang Guang's bedroom, his expression seemed to be even more bitter.

Yang Guang was so exhausted that he was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep on the dragon bed. He didn't wake up until the next day at three poles, as if his bones were falling apart.

The Chunyang Pill offered by Pan Zhenren is wonderful, but it has a great stamina. Every time after the medicine's effect, Yang Guang feels like his body is being drained, and Pan Shizheng also frankly said that this Chunyang Pill has side effects and will It caused physical overdraw, but Yang Guang really couldn't refuse, because since the dragon boat stabbed and injured the dragon's body last time, his ability in that area was indeed damaged, and the Chunyang pill offered by Pan Shizheng could instantly revive him.

If this pill was in hand yesterday, the concubine would not have died tragically under Yang Guang's sword.

After resting for a long time, Yang Guang finally recovered a little bit, and reluctantly got up the energy to review the playbook.

Yang Guang repeatedly flipped through the playbook in his hand, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. This playbook was played by Gao Bufan. In fact, Yang Guang had already read it yesterday, but he hadn't figured out how to approve it.

"Gao Changqing, are you really a loyal minister? Since you are a loyal minister, I naturally have to reward you well, otherwise how would the courtiers know that I am a wise monarch with clear rewards and punishments!" Yang Guang sneered twice, and wrote an imperial decree.

…………

New Year's Eve passed quickly, and the spring of Daye's 12 years is coming soon. Since Gao Bufan drove Luo Yi out of the customs, he has brought the whole of Youzhou under his control. Gained more than 8000 people under Luo Yi's command.

Therefore, now Gao Bufan's army strength has increased to about 30,000 people, including [-] light cavalry and [-] armored cavalry (actually [-]). But its combat power can definitely be proud of one side.

Moreover, to measure the strength of a local power, we should not only look at the strength of its troops, but also the geographical advantages of its territory, as well as its comprehensive strength such as economy, population, and popular support.

The Youzhou area is rich in wealth and people, the society is stable, and the supplies are sufficient, and Gao Bufan has won the support of the local gentry, making the whole Youzhou run like a monolith, so now, even if Yang Guang parachutes high officials, he can no longer touch Gao Bufan The status in Youzhou is gone.

Daye 12 years On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the imperial decree issued by Yang Guang from Jiangdu arrived. First of all, he affirmed Gao Bufan's work achievements since he took office as a stayer in Zhuojun County. And drove out of the customs, in order to reward Gao Bufan's contribution, Yang Guang decided to designate Gao Bufan as the general of Kaifu Yitong!

Kaifu Yi and the Great General are loose officials in name only, and they are of the third rank, which is the same rank as that left behind in Zhuojun. title.In addition, apart from the false title of Gao Bufan, Yang Guang did not receive any rewards in kind.

However, Gao Bufan is already very satisfied with this result, because he neither offered prisoners to Yang Guang, nor handed over the five hundred sets of iron armor that he "captured". With Yang Guang's temperament, it would be good if he didn't turn his face on the spot. Now It was unexpectedly given a false title, which was beyond Gao Bufan's expectations.

Of course, this also reflects that Yang Guang is really powerless now. If Gao Bufan dared to do this a few years ago, let alone a reward, the imperial edict to punish him would arrive immediately.

It is worth mentioning here that although Kaifu Yitong is only a false title, it also has an advantage, that is, Gao Bufan can justifiably open a government office and appoint subordinate officials.

As a result, the happiest people are naturally Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others. Although they have been "working" for Gao Bufan, they can only work as aides. In other words, Wei Zheng and others can have official titles, from temporary workers to official staff, with status and status, which is great!
At this moment in Zhuojun Liushou Mansion, Gao Bufan is sitting in the middle, Wei Zheng, Xu Shiji, Du Ruhui, and Wen Yanbo are sitting on both sides, and they are passing the imperial decree of Yang Guang. After reading it, they all look happy, even Wei Heilian is excited His beard trembled.

Xu Shiji said with a smile: "Yang Guang must be very helpless now. He is dissatisfied with the lord, but he dare not tear himself apart, so he can only give the lord the false title of Kaifuyi and General."

Xu Shiji had never been an official in the Sui Dynasty, had no status as a monarch and minister with Yang Guang, and was devoted to opposing the Sui Dynasty, so he didn't have any respect for Yang Guang, and always called him by his first name.

Gao Bufan is still a subject of Yang Guang in name, so naturally he couldn't be so rude, he rolled up the imperial decree and put it away, and said with a smile: "The emperor's grace, allow me to open a mansion and set up a government office. From now on, Mr. Wei will take the post of Youzhou The post of Changshi in the mansion, Shiji temporarily takes the post of Sima, Mr. Du temporarily takes the post of Zhonglang, and Mr. Wen temporarily takes the post of secretary to join the army. I also hope that you will work together to preside over the opening of the mansion and the construction of the Yamen, so as to recruit for the mansion. Useful people."

Wei Zheng and others looked at each other, stood up and said solemnly: "Thank you for your appreciation, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Gao Bufan happily said: "Thank you for your hard work, let's start to do it now. Also, the spring plowing cannot be delayed, and the production of various industries must be hurry up!"
