Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 756: Le Si Shu
The death of the emperor is a great loss to the country, but the operation of the country cannot come to a halt because of it.

Therefore, after three days of mourning, local officials converted the mourning hall back into a government hall and continued to handle official business.

However, within the twenty-seven days, officials still had to wear plain clothes, and the public was still prohibited from engaging in entertainment during this period.

Of course, that being said, if there really is a monkey trainer on the street, or if there really is someone sleeping with his wives or concubines during this period, generally no one would take it seriously.

There are many people who mourn for their parents for three years and then have children within those three years.

Unless an official has many political enemies and has to be careful about being caught in the act, ordinary people are more casual.

When Yang Yuan, in the name of the General Administration and Pacification Commissioner, conveyed the order to all places to observe mourning for the emperor, no letter was delivered from Xuzhou City.

The three barbarians from Xuzhou encountered the cowardly Ke Baiquan.

They plundered the Han settlements around Xuzhou City, killed men and raped women, and looted property. The government did not show any tough stance and just defended the city.

This further encouraged the arrogance of the three barbarians in Xuzhou, so they surrounded the city of Xuzhou, isolating it from the inside and the outside.

However, when it comes to siege, they are really not good at it.

It seems that unless the food in the city is used up, the two sides will continue to fight.

But Yang Yuan had already started the attack.

In fact, he had already received information from Old Man Song before this and had begun preparations to launch the battle of Xuzhou.

However, this time he wanted to use mainly firearms troops and auxiliary cold weapon troops, so a lot of preparation was needed.

Various firearms were being produced in full swing, ammunition was constantly being stockpiled, and all kinds of essential medicines needed for the southern expedition were also being purchased very efficiently.

Therefore, the message to Xuzhou City was blocked, and the "accidental discovery" that Xuzhou City had been surrounded by rioters was just an excuse.

This excuse only emerged after the preparations for war were completed.

The military and civilians of Xuzhou were in imminent danger, and the appeasement envoy Yang Yuan quickly dispatched troops to quell the rebellion!
As soon as the decision was made, the troops were dispatched immediately, even faster than the mobilization of cold weapon troops.

It’s because all the necessary preparations have already been made.

The main force to suppress the rebellion was the militia led by Gan Quan, an entirely firearms unit.

The second echelon consisted of 2,500 men from the Second Army of the First General of Tongchuan.

Those desperate gangsters, bandits, and scoundrels are a group of devils who survived after going through hellish training.

They are all full of hostility. When they glare at people, there is more white in their eyes than black, and they are murderous.

Yang Yuan’s instructions to them were: either don’t fight, or beat them to death.

It doesn't matter if I wipe out their entire clan, I just want to kill one to warn the rest.

I just want to make the people there tremble whenever my name is mentioned.

So, Ganquan, just pick one and destroy it for me, and that will be a great achievement for you.

Ganquan took the order and left.

Then, Yang Yuan's order was issued again, and the soldiers of the third echelon began to enter a state of combat readiness in an orderly manner.

In this regard, the civil and military officials of the Jinglüe Anfusi felt that the commander was making a big deal out of nothing.

We are just fighting the three barbarians from Xuzhou. Is it necessary to be so cautious?
We have already sent out a militia unit and a regular unit to attack the three tribes, which is enough.

Do we still need a third reserve team?

It is true that the higher the official position, the less courageous one becomes.

Thinking back to the battle of Lingbi, every step General Fu took was to survive in danger and to fight for life, but now he is so cautious.

However, since Marshal Fu had given the order, they had no choice but to cooperate fully and make various logistical preparations for this huge third echelon.

They didn't know that Yang Yuan's move was not intended for Xuzhou at all, but to march troops into Dali and Liangshan Prefecture.

At the same time as sending Ganquan, Yang Yuan urgently reported the matter to the court.

If a rebellion breaks out in a local area, a provincial governor like him has the power to act arbitrarily and arbitrarily.

However, after making a decision, he also had to report to the court.

This is the meaning of “act first and report later”. You can act first, but you still have to report.

The fourteen-year-old young emperor Zhao Qi slammed the table in anger.

Because Yang Yuan's memorial has a bit of green tea flavor.

Zhao Qi understood one thing from the hints between the lines:

Why did the three barbarians of Xuzhou rebel?

Because they have long had the intention to rebel, but have never dared to do so.

But, the previous emperor passed away...

"The barbarians of Xuzhou, are you taking advantage of my youth?"

The little emperor angrily wrote in red: "Beat him! Beat him hard, beat him to death!"

After he finished writing, he remembered that he had to discuss it with the regent, his uncle Zhao Ju.

……

After the battle of Xuzhou began, the issue of rectifying Lidong was also put on the agenda.

This was something that had been planned by the late emperor during his lifetime, so Zhao Kai would naturally not easily violate it.

What's more, the regent is in charge now, and the power will be returned to him in four years.

In other words, the little emperor is now in the internship stage, so he naturally has to be extra cautious about such military and national affairs.

So Yang Yuan went to Lizhou Middle Road.

He was already the commander-in-chief of all the troops stationed in the central route of Lizhou, and he could not be absent from duty for long.

Now we can kill two birds with one stone.

After Yang Yuan took charge of Li Zhong, Liu Qi also arrived in Dazhou. The two bigwigs who were in charge of both military and political affairs approached the east road of Lizhou at the same time.

Then, the imperial edict arrived, stamped with the emperor's seal and the regent's seal.

Guo Di, the governor and pacifier of Kaizhou, was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the imperial troops stationed in the central route of Lizhou.

His third and fourth brothers both held official positions in Lizhou Central Road.

In other words, the Guo family was uprooted and transferred to Lizhong.

It has been more than ten years since the Guo family army replaced Wen Xuanchen as the leader.

The Guo family had always wanted to drive Wen Xuanchen away, but now they were completely defeated. All the Guo family members were transferred to Lizhong, and from then on they had to beg for food from Yang Yuan.

They originally had a base in Lidong, but Wen Xuanchen had been unable to clean it up because of the face of Marshal Guo Hao. Now the court has stepped in on his behalf and completely resolved the issue.

Yang Yuan had previously sent three Japanese women to Lidong to conduct a serious investigation.

During his tenure as commander of Lidong, Wen Xuanchen was still a qualified commander.

As for the fact that he became the commander of the Guo family army because the Guo family had no successor, and now he is reluctant to leave, this is also a fact.

But from the court's point of view, who stipulated that this place must be inherited by your Guo family?
Wen Hyun-chen has been in charge of Lidong for more than ten years now and has been doing a good job.

There was no reason for the court to transfer him and make way for the Guo family.

Old Marshal Guo Hao was indeed a famous general who worked hard and made great contributions, but the imperial court did not treat Guo’s descendants unfairly.

As for Miss Guo Yuxiu who had gone to Beijing to file a complaint with the emperor, Yang Yuan had already found out about it.

Marshal Guo Hao had four sons, the eldest son, Guo Huai, was Guo Yuxiu's father.

After he died of illness, his second brother Guo Di took over as the Kaizhou General Manager and Pacifier.

Guo Yuxiu always believed that it was her second uncle who took away her younger brother's property, and she felt extremely sad and angry.

However, this is just like the Guo family members who were angry and angry about Wen Xuanchen stealing the Guo family's property.

Who said that this Lizhou East Road belongs to your Guo family?
Who said that Kaizhou is the eldest branch of the Guo family?

It's simply a confusing farce.

The Guo family had also thought about making a scene, because in their minds, this power and this territory belonged to them.

This also shows that the three generals of the Western Army have indeed been nurturing the desire to establish their own separatist regime for a long time.

Moreover, since Wen Xuanchen was once a subordinate of Marshal Guo Hao, in their eyes, he has never had any deterrent power.

But the problem is that the two big bosses Yang Yuan and Liu Qi are just on the east road of Lizhou and can lead their troops into Lidong at any time.

make trouble?

A person who always likes to act first and ask for permission later.

A name that could stop Xixia children from crying at night,

After much deliberation, the former members of the Guo family decided to give up their plan to cause trouble.

The Guo family went to Lizhong to take up their posts.

Speaking of which, the imperial court treated them quite well, and Guo Di was actually promoted.

The deputy governor-general is only half a step away from the governor-general.

Most of the other descendants of the Guo family also obtained official positions.

As long as you work diligently and make repeated achievements, you may have a chance to revive your family.

But the paranoid Miss Guo might not be able to understand it.

However, given Yang Yuan's current status and position, would he care whether she could figure it out or not?

Yang Yuan didn't think of her at all.

After the Guo family accepted the reality, left Lidong, moved to Lizhong, and paid a visit to him, Yang Yuan returned to Longqing Prefecture in Jianzhou.

During his stay in Zhengcheng, south of Lizhong, he made use of the highway that had taken more than a year to build and was almost completed, and maintained close contact with Yang Liangao of the Dali Kingdom.

Yang Liangao was about to be elected, and Yang Yuan's gold mountain was beckoning to him.

Yang Yuan is now waiting to lead the troops personally, go south to pacify the barbarians, and march into Dali.

While making great contributions to expanding the territory, he began to mine gold.

Once this gold mountain is opened, he will have money. As long as he has money, what can't he do?

……

When Yang Yuan was on his way back to Longqing Prefecture, he received a letter from home saying that an important guest had arrived, the King Shuai and his wife from Goryeo.

Yingge knew about the relationship between Yang Yuan and Jin Yuzhen.

It was obvious that Yingge did not hide anything from Luxi, otherwise Luxi would not have sent someone to inform him.

When Yang Yuan heard that Jin Yuzhen had come to Jianzhou, he was very happy.

Living in such an era and having the ability, it is undeniable that he did indulge himself.

But he is a man of new things and does not tire of old ones, and he keeps some feelings in his heart for the women he has had.

He hadn't seen Gao Yuzhen for a long time, and he was happy to meet this exotic beauty again.

What's more, after Jin Yuzhen gave birth to a son, she immediately sent someone to the Song Dynasty to inform him of the news.

He knew that he also had blood in Goryeo.

Although he has many children, the love between father and son will not fade because of this. He also wants to see his own flesh and blood with his own eyes.

After Jin Yuzhen and her family of four presented their visiting cards to the Yang Mansion and stated their purpose, they were personally received by Song Luxi, the mistress of the Yang family.

Then, Luxi set up a separate courtyard in the Yang Mansion for Wang Shuai and his wife, Taixi, and Congyang to live in.

When Tae Hee saw the Yang family's arrangement, he couldn't help but be amazed.

I didn't expect that my brother-in-law would be so respected in front of the high officials of this great empire.

If he was not regarded as a close friend, how could he have set up a separate courtyard in the backyard to entertain guests?

Because of the influence of her sister, Tae Hee has always looked down on her brother-in-law.

However, now Wang Shuai's weight in little Tae Hee's heart has suddenly increased a lot.

Little Tae Hee thought naively: Actually, my brother-in-law is a pretty good guy. Fortunately, my sister and brother-in-law have been loving each other since they had a child.

Otherwise, with her brother-in-law being so capable, he might not always give in to her.

They have been in Longqing Prefecture for three days.

Because Yang Yuan had not returned yet, and they lived in the courtyard of the backyard, perhaps to avoid suspicion, Wang Shuai went out at dawn every day and did not return until late at night.

The valley is beautiful and there are many beauties here, both natural and human-caused. Wang Shuai really felt like a fish in water during these three days.

Sitting in the brothel, Mr. Wang Shuai held a "good girl" in his left hand and a "handsome girl" in his right hand...

He didn't understand how anyone could be so happy and not want to leave their homeland.
You should be happy and not miss Korea!
