Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

The heir of the Yang family, Yang Yanlang, escaped from the siege and returned to the capital. The news of Yang Jiye's death spread throughout Tokyo.

【Historical Records Yang Yanlang is the eldest son of Yang Jiye. Dazhong Xiangfu changed his name to Yanzhao in five years to avoid the taboo. Liao soldiers feared his bravery and called him Yang Yanlang, the Six Star of the Nandou. For a long time, he was called Yang Liulang.His younger brothers: Yanpu (Dianzhi), Yanxun (Worship Officer), Yanhuan (Dianzhi), Yangui (Dianzhi), Yanbin (Dianzhi) --- for folk rumors, this article does not involve others. 】

In July of the third year of Yongxi, Emperor Taizong changed his son's name again: Yuanyou, the king of Chen, was renamed Yuanxi, and Yuanxiu, who was 20 years old at the time, was renamed Yuankan as the king of Han.

In the same month, Jia Huangzhong reported that Cao Bin and others were defeated due to disobedience to the deployment of the imperial order and should be sentenced to death. Taizong ordered other officials to discuss the matter.The next day, Cao Bin put on white clothes and waited for the court to punish him, and he did not shirk his crime.On the third day, Emperor Taizong decreed that Cao Bin was demoted to General Youxiaowei, Cui Yanjin was demoted to General Youwuwei, and all generals below Mi Xin were demoted.Officials and military officers who died in battle during the Northern Expedition, as well as those who were captured, will all have their descendants appointed as officials.

At the same time, the imperial court appointed Tian Chongjin as Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Ma Jun.Li Jilong was the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Ma Jun, and also led the defense envoy of Yunzhou from afar, and arranged the people who returned to the imperial court behind the mountain to Henan Fu, Xuzhou, Ruzhou and other places, totaling more than [-] people.Because Zhang Qixian, a member of the Privy Council of the Qian Office, was unwilling to cater to Taizong's wishes many times, when discussing border defense matters, Zhang Qixian made a petition to serve at the border.Emperor Taizong agreed to appoint Zhang Qixian as Shizhong, Zhidaizhou, and Pan Mei, who was deployed in the capital, to lead the border officers and soldiers.

In the capital, Yang Jiye's funeral was dealt with, Yang Yanlang returned to the mansion, Zhe Taijun and Chaijun Lord were waiting in the main hall, Yanlang paid homage to Zhe Taijun, the family was very sad, Chaijun led the 6-year-old Before Wen Guang came to Yanlang, Wen Guang hugged Yan Lang and cried bitterly. Yan Lang touched Wen Guang's head and said, "Wen Guang, now you are the only heir of the Yang family. My Yang family is devoted to serving the country and not afraid of death. You have to take that to heart."

Wen Guang nodded resolutely, "I want to kill the Liao bandits and serve the Song Dynasty like my grandfather, father and uncles."

Yanlang hugged Wen Guang, while Taijun Zhe and Master Chai were already in tears.

At this time, the family member notified, "Report to the Taijun, the Eight Sage Kings have arrived"

The Taijun and Princess Yanlang were about to go to greet her, but Defang had already walked in, "Old Madam, Xiaowang is very polite."

"My lord, I don't dare to be, please take your seat." Zhe Taijun and Defang sat in the hall, Defang looked at the old matriarch and Yanlang and said, "Old matriarch, Yanlang, my condolences, I didn't expect such a situation."

"Thank you, my lord, for your compassion," said the old lady

Yan Lang stepped forward, "My lord, even if there is only one general left in the Yang family, he will be loyal to the country"

Defang got up and sighed, "Yanlang, it is my great fortune to have you, the Yang family, and the blessing of the community. Thank you, my king."

Yanlang supported Defang, "My lord, it is the responsibility of the Yang family to protect the country, don't do this"

"What can this king make up for with this obeisance? I hate Pan Mei and Wang Yu. This king will definitely play to the Ming sage to seek justice for the son of your Yang family who died in battle!" Defang was very angry.

"Brother Wang, most of the court officials support Pan Mei. Brother Wang must not act recklessly." Princess Cheshire said
