Chapter 420: I have two wishes
Huangyang Road Huiyang City
Yang Yanye, the governor of Huangyang Road, stood at the highest point of the city wall, his clairvoyant hand trembling uncontrollably. The beacon fire on the north bank lasted for dozens of miles, and thousands of troops and horses surged like huge waves. At this time, the rush in his heart was more violent than the collision on the battlefield. He did not expect that he would actually see the day when the left avant-garde went to war against the rebels.
On his wrinkled face, a line of tears slowly flowed down.
"No matter what Luo Yao's purpose is or what An's thoughts are."
He put down his clairvoyance and murmured: "He fought the first battle against the rebellion It seems that Yin Poshan's men and horses can't hold it anymore. As soon as the rebel camp on the north bank of the Huangniu River was broken, the defense line arranged by Li Yuanshan collapsed. Counting the days, the imperial army should have set off to fight the rebellion. But I don¡¯t know if your majesty will personally lead the expedition. As a minister, I can only pray to your majesty from a distance for success! "
Li Huaili, the governor of Huiyang County, felt sour and couldn't help but wipe his tears too.
"We have been waiting and looking forward to this day."
He choked up and couldn't speak anymore.
Yang Yanye wiped his tears with his sleeves, was silent for a while and said: "If I can still scrape together some food and grass in Huiyang County, I will be willing to carry the burden myself and go to the battlefield to work. I held a bowl of sake to the soldiers and said to the people of Huangyang Road Thank you. It¡¯s a pity that no grain can be moved out of Xinkou Granary.¡±
"grown ups!"
The county magistrate Lei Wu was still somewhat sober. He looked at the beacon fire on the north bank and said in a sad tone: "Your Excellency, you are concerned about the country and the people, and you have the people in your heart I know that I shouldn't say anything else at this time, but I feel like I have a lump in my throat. Not happy! Luo Yao launched troops against the rebels because he felt that the time had come. He was afraid that he would attack our Huangyang Dao next"
"Why don't I know?"
Yang Yanye smiled bitterly and said: "When Luo Yao won a great victory, there should be one of the merit reports submitted to the court to participate in mine Your Majesty thought of his great achievements, and it is expected that my position as the Governor of Huangyang Dao has also come to an end. . It was nothing more than saying that I was afraid of war and colluding with the rebels. Even if His Majesty knew it was impossible, in order to appease Luo Yao, he would still issue a decree to remove me from my official position. This is the best outcome. It is impossible to say. ¡¡±
"But if Luo Yao is sincere in fighting the rebellion for the country, not to mention taking an official position, it doesn't matter even if he takes my life."
He stood up straight, his eyes fearless.
"When treacherous ministers are in power, the country will not"
Li Huaili was stopped by Yang Yanye before he could finish his words. He waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty is a sage monarch who has never been seen in the ages. He will not let Xiao Xiao make trouble. Now Sui Rong cannot allow any more trouble, so your Majesty may be more partial. But as long as the matter in the northwest is settled and His Majesty is free, who will dare to have any dirty thoughts? "
"I hope so!"
Lei Wu sighed: "Your Excellency has been in charge of Huangyang Dao for so many years. Who among the people does not care about your benefits? I only hate that good officials like you cannot last long, and I hate that thieves like Luo Yao are getting more and more respected."
"Do things with dignity and be a responsible person. I am worthy of your majesty and worthy of the people I am already very old. I have done everything I should do in my life. What do I care about my reputation after my death? My only regret is that I cannot Meeting His Majesty After Luo Yao's victory, you all know very well what the most vicious method is, so what's the point of being worried?"
"grown ups¡¡"
Lei Wu looked miserable, with hatred in his eyes.
"Dirty my innocence If he wanted to get Xinkou Cang, he would find an excuse to say that I had misappropriated official food, and then he discovered it. In order to ensure that the food and grass in the Sui Dynasty did not fall into the hands of the rebels, Luo Yao had to lead his army to control it. Xinkoucang When such a report is presented to His Majesty, even Your Majesty will have no choice but to say anything. Your Majesty cannot turn against Luo Yao because of this matter, because the southwest half is still inseparable from him. Therefore, this scapegoat. I'm committed."
"Since your lord has guessed Luo Yao's trick, is there any way to crack it?"
Li Huali¡¯s expression changed.
"What can I do?"
Yang Yanye shook his head: "Now Huiyang City has been sealed up like a stuffy jar. Only people are allowed in and no one is allowed out. If I can get a discount, I don't have to wait until now."
"Can we just sit back and wait for death? We will also be accused of being a traitor."?Can¡¯t even save your family? ! "
Lei Wu punched the city wall, and blood immediately flowed from his fist. Yang Yanye took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wrapped it for General Lei with his own hands: "Actually, there is a way. Although it cannot absolve me, it may make His Majesty feel pity, so he will no longer care about the sins of you and my family. Although Your Majesty sees it I can't see Huang Yangdao, I can't see my heart, but there is nothing I can hide from him But when the situation has reached this point, His Majesty has no choice."
"Luo Yao has no kind thoughts, but His Majesty has compassion You two remember, no matter what happens, you must carry out Huang Yangdao's errands. The biggest difference between the left avant-garde and the rebels is that they will not wreak havoc on the people. This is my most important Don't worry. Just throw it away. If the war in the northwest goes smoothly, Luo Yao won't have any objections. But you two must live. Only by living can you continue to work for His Majesty and clear my name!"
"My lord, we will find a way after all!"
Li Huaili advised.
"Gone¡¡"
Yang Yanye smiled and said: "There is only one way, and you and I both know it well. If I die, Luo Yao will not have to worry about anything anymore, and His Majesty will have a reason not to punish you. If I don't die, Luo Yao Your Majesty is pressing harder and harder to appease him. It would be unforgivable for me to ruin my reputation by myself, and it would be an unforgivable crime to cause harm to you and my family If I die, it will be meaningless for him to do anything disgusting to me. All I want is Xinkoucang, and I just want to keep you and my family."
"Remember my words and be a good official."
He glanced at Li Huali and Lei Wu with a smile, and took a deep breath: "Although the rivers and mountains of the Sui Dynasty are broken to one side, the taste is still so charming. I can't take away much, but the breath of the Sui Dynasty That¡¯s all.¡±
"Take care of the family and the children for me."
He suddenly said something, and before Lei Wu and Li Huali could react, he ran forward two steps and jumped off the city wall!
Although Li Huaili and Lei Wu knew that the Governor was already determined to die, they originally wanted to persuade him a little more. But before he could speak out his full words, Yang Yanye used his own way to express his loyalty to the court and his fight against the injustice of fate. That body as skinny as tea, the moment it fell from the city wall, it was like a towering mountain collapsed.
"grown ups!"
Li Huali and Lei Wu both held the city wall and looked down. With a bang, Yang Yanye's body fell heavily to the ground, and they saw a piece of blood slowly spreading out from under him.
"farewell."
Li Huali slowly knelt down and knocked his forehead hard against the cold city wall.
¡¡
¡¡
Yang Yanye was right what he said, and what he predicted was also right. Luo Yao had originally planned to submit a memorial to the court after the troops in Yin Po Mountain on the north bank were destroyed. The booklet has already been written and is just waiting for the day to be sent out. If he wanted to legitimately hold Xinkou Cang in his hands, he had to remove Yang Yanye.
And after the emperor received the memorial, no matter how angry he was, he would not blame Luo Yao. Huangyang Road is like a gate, and the gatekeeper is Luo Yao now. Even if the emperor knew that Yang Yanye would never collude with the rebels or steal grain from Xinkoucang, he would still issue an order to punish him.
This is reality, a reality that seems unchangeable.
But Yang Yanye thought of a way, that is to die by himself. If he dies, even if Luo Yao's memorial is handed down, Your Majesty will not embarrass his family or the officials of Huangyang Road anymore because he is grateful for his loyalty. And if he died, Luo Yao would not dare to be more violent in his words. He would be worried about pushing His Majesty to the point of intolerance, and Luo Yao has not yet reached the stage where he can do whatever he wants.
Precisely because he saw this point so clearly, Yang Yanye jumped into action.
Before he died, he said, I have done everything I can do before my death, so what do I care about my reputation after my death? How painful he felt when he said this, others could only feel it a little bit. If he didn't die, his family would be implicated. Even if the emperor doesn't kill him, he will send his entire family to be military slaves somewhere on the border. How could he bear to watch his wife, children, and grandchildren being implicated by him? Thinking about his grandson's immature face that could only run, it felt like a knife was cutting through his heart.
For those relatives and for those subordinates.
Yang Yanye had to jump.
No one saw how calm his face was when he fell from the city wall. No one knew that what he was thinking about at the last moment was the bowl of braised lion head. That day, when he brought the food back to the house, his grandson looked at the slightly cool braised lion head and clapped his little hands and said, Grandpa is great, he can do magic tricks, and he can do good tricks for me.food. That rosy smiling face, that pure and clean smile will always be fixed in his heart.
¡°He has paid too much for Huang Yangdao over the years. He had complained to the emperor, why didn't Huang Yangdao even send a message of comfort when he needed the protection of the emperor's wings the most? In the past two years, in order to secure this land, how many times had he accompanied Smiley to borrow grain from those wealthy merchants? How many times have you personally stood on the south bank of the Huangniu River, commanding the people to use rudimentary weapons to resist the rebels who were trying to plunder?
The surging water of Huangniu River has taken away a trace of the heroic spirit.
No one can understand his determination to leap forward. No one could understand his wisdom in abandoning life and death. It's worth trading my life for my family for a hundred years.
Everyone on the city wall was stunned. They rushed to the edge of the city wall and looked down, calling for the Lord. How many of them hoped that they could use their shouts to pull the Lord back? The county soldiers who are still sticking to Huiyang City, those who are unwilling to accept it, cannot understand why the adults do this, and it is because of this that they are heartbroken and sad. Many people clenched their fists in grief and anger, and many people cried blood.
I don¡¯t know how many tears fell from the city wall, nourishing the layer of moss that recorded the merits and demerits.
I don¡¯t know how many mournful cries floated up into the sky, begging the ruthless God to treat that heroic spirit kindly.
In the short period of time after falling, Yang Yanye suddenly felt that he had no regrets, right? After so many years of career ups and downs, I have done too many things and I am never satisfied. I have always thought that I could do more, more At this moment, I finally understood what I wanted Is that a regret?
Are there any more?
no?
I wish my family peace and health.
