Chapter 15-Yang Guang's Game）
"Your Majesty, when I saw Your Majesty's poem, the meaning in the poem is still towards Liaodong?”
Empress Xiao asked Yang Guang after sitting down.
Yang Guang smiled slightly and stroked the short beard on his chin."It is the Empress who understands me. That's right. Although that Gao Yuan brat has been beheaded, the foundation of Goguryeo has not been broken. As long as Utchi Mundo is still around, Goguryeo cannot be destroyed.”
"Zhen plans to start raising funds for the second eastern expedition this autumn!”Yang Guang looked into the distance and made a decision.
"But," Empress Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying,"I'm not sure."But ChenQie heard that the previous dynasty had a lot to say about Your Majesty's conquest of Liaodong, and most people did not agree.”
Hearing Empress Xiao's words, Yang Guang's eyes couldn't help but flash with killing intent.
He knew very well who was opposing him.
When he built Luoyang, those people opposed him.
When he was building the Grand Canal, those people were still against him.
When he was going east to Liaodong, those people had always opposed him.
The reason why he built the Grand Canal and the eastern capital, Luoyang, was to connect the north and south and then move the capital to Luoyang.
Ever since his father, he had wanted to move the capital. However, his father never fulfilled this wish in his entire life.
It was not because Daxing City was bad that they wanted to move the capital, but because Daxing City was located in Guanlong.
And the one who truly controlled Guanlong was not him, but those powerful families that had been in Guanlong for hundreds of years.
All these years, he had been working hard to get rid of the Guanlong nobles.
It was just that the effect was minimal.
Yang Guang gently patted Empress Xiao's hand."Haha, don't worry, my dear consort. They have been against zhen for more than a day or two. Have you ever seen them win against zhen?”
Although Empress Xiao heard her husband say this, she was still a little worried.
"Your Majesty, I still think it's better to think twice before acting. I heard that there's a man called Zhishilang in the Changbai Mountains who is now rebelling. Many people around him are also responding. Your Majesty, why don't you first quell the rebellion and then recuperate before slowly planning.”Empress Xiao said.
Yang Guang smiled and nodded.
Wen Hai remained silent.
This was also because Empress Xiao dared to persuade Yang Guang like this. If it was someone else, they would probably have to bear the consequences.
"Alright, beloved consort, zhen knows what to do. You don't have to worry too much about these complicated matters.”Yang Guang comforted Empress Xiao.
Empress Xiao was also an intelligent woman, so her words were more or less enough, so she didn't say anything more.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Li Xian is the illegitimate son of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang?”Empress Xiao changed the topic and started talking about Li Xian.
When he heard the words " illegitimate son " of Li Yuan, Yang Guang laughed happily,""Yes, he is indeed the illegitimate son of the Duke of Tang.”
"So, this time, it was the Duke of Tang who trained such a talented general for His Majesty?”
"Haha, my beloved concubine, you are wrong. Although Li Xian is the illegitimate son of the Duke of Tang, the relationship between them is very complicated.”
As Yang Guang spoke, he pointed at Wen Hai,"Tell Zhen's beloved consort what just happened.”
Wen Hai bowed and told Empress Xiao everything that had happened.
The more Empress Xiao listened, the more surprised she became. Her eyes revealed a curious gaze."If you don't raise it, can you return the broken finger? If you don't give birth to it and raise it, it'll be difficult to return it even if you cut off your head?"
Empress Xiao looked at Yang Guang,"Your Majesty, in that case, this Li Xian is also a filial son."”
Yang Guang stroked his beard and nodded slightly,""That's right. Otherwise, why do you think I'm waiting for him here?”
"But, but isn't he a little too impulsive?”Empress Xiao said doubtfully.
This time, Yang Guang smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
On the other hand, Wen Hai knew what Yang Guang meant.
If Li Xian had not disobeyed the imperial edict at the city gate and had disregarded his aunt's life to enter the palace to meet the emperor, Yang Guang would not have liked such a person.
To be able to put down the lives of his loved ones without caring about them, it meant that this person had a big scheme and was too materialistic.
However, Li Xian did not do so. Instead, he disobeyed the imperial edict for his aunt.
What was the emperor most afraid of?
Of course, he was most afraid that the officials under him would be too perfect and difficult to control.
A subordinate who had good and bad points and was easy to control was a good subject.
Therefore, Li Xian's actions were exactly in line with Yang Guang's intentions.
Young, outstanding, without family support, and with shortcomings, wasn't such a person exactly what Yang Guang needed at this time?
Moreover, this young general had stirred up the entire Guanlong aristocracy with his own strength.
Wasn't this exactly what he wanted?
"Your Majesty, Li Xian is here!"
A young eunuch hurriedly walked over with his head lowered.
"Announce!" Yang Guang waved his hand, then looked at the other end of the pavilion with Empress Xiao.
