Wanting to alleviate this crisis, Xiao Yi proposed that Xiao Maha go to Beijing to plead guilty. This is a desperate strategy, but it is the best strategy. Let the whole world see Xiao Mohe's sincerity in supporting the Sui Dynasty. When Yang Jian treated Xiao Mohe with courtesy and still granted him the title of Cavalry General Kaifu Yitong Sansi, it can be seen that Yang Jian was the most susceptible to this trick. After listening to Xiao Yi's strategy, the generals all agreed. Originally, Xiao Yi planned to go to Beijing with Xiao Mohe, but in the end, Xiao Mohe and the generals sternly rejected it. Eggs cannot be placed in one basket. Xiao Yi was left in Mayi to make a complete plan. According to Xiao Yi¡¯s plan, Xiao Mohe personally went to Beijing to plead guilty. He also ordered his confidant Pang Zhen to bring several large boxes of gold and silver treasures to Beijing to visit the powerful and famous people of the dynasty. Xiao Yi specially instructed Queen Dugu Jialuo to especially like jade jewelry, but she did not dare to wear it because of her reputation for diligence and thrift, so she ordered people to prepare it. On the surface, he presented her with hairpins, bracelets and beads made of finely carved ebony that looked simple on the surface but showed the preciousness of them. At the same time, Xiao Mohe also donated his sword, Xiaodi, which was as sharp as iron as clay, and gave it to Queen Dugu's eldest nephew, Dugu Xinluo, who liked to collect famous swords, and asked him to honor Xiao Maha in front of Queen Dugu. say good things. Of course, the most important thing is to publicize the image of Kong Fan as a villain and a traitor, and to spread the crimes he committed in Nanchen in the capital, so that everyone knows Kong Fan's face. Let it reach the ears of Yang Jian and Queen Dugu. Under the influence of Dugu Xinluo and some ministers, as expected, Yang Jian compares himself to Yao, Shun, and Yu. How can he tolerate such treacherous ministers around him? And Empress Dugu liked those exquisite jewelry made of ebony very much, especially ebony, which is said by Buddhism to ward off evil spirits. She was very happy as a Buddhist and said to Yang Jian: Since Kong Fan is a traitor, Zhao Chuo, who is married to him, will naturally be the same. Not much better. The person impeached by the traitor must be a good person. Xiao Mohe was famous all over the world for his loyalty and bravery. This time, he knew that the emperor might kill him, but he did not run away. Instead, he went to Beijing to plead guilty. This shows that he was a just man and had no selfish motives. Moreover, Xiao Shilue, who was causing trouble in the south, was not Xiao Mohe's biological son, so rashly convicting him and punishing him would hurt the image of Mingjun. Dugu Jialuo¡¯s words were enough to impress thousands of troops, so Yang Jian naturally believed him and ordered Xiao Mohe to be pardoned. Zhao Chuo was unwilling to give in and insisted on impeaching Xiao Mohe in front of Yang Jian, demanding that he be questioned. Later, the "Historical Records" biography of Emperor Wen recorded the conversation between the emperor and his ministers on that day: Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said: "Xiao Shilue was not yet twenty years old, and he could do nothing because he was the son of a famous general, so he was coerced by others. "Zhao Chuo remonstrated bitterly that Xiao Mohe could not be let go like this, and Emperor Wen could not make him surrender. Emperor Wen wanted to wait until Zhao Chuo left before ordering Xiao Mohe to be pardoned, so he asked Zhao Chuo to retreat to eat. But Zhao Chuo replied: "The case I presented has not yet been decided, so I dare not step down." Emperor Wen was immediately unhappy and had to announce: "Please ask the judge of Dali Temple to pardon Xiao Maha for me." So he ordered his ministers to release him. Xiao Mohe. Under Xiao Yi¡¯s behind-the-scenes command, the crisis of annihilation was instantly resolved. Not only was Xiao Mohe acquitted, but because of Kong Fan's image as a treacherous minister, Xiao Mohe's reputation for loyalty once again spread throughout the world, and Yang Jian was very optimistic about it, and he was rewarded with a large amount of gold and silver. Not only were all the funds previously spent for up and down management recovered, but I also made a small profit, which was an unexpected surprise. But what Xiao Mohe was most happy about was Yang Jian's words. The 30,000 Xiaoqi battalion's military expenses that had been owed for many years were immediately allocated to Xiao Mohe by the Ministry of Household Affairs. However, how can the mutual strife in the court end easily. After all, Xiao Mohe is a surrendered general of Nanchen. Controlling their military pay is equivalent to controlling Xiao Mohe and his 30,000 brave knights, so that they dare not have two minds. Now that Xiao Mohe went to Beijing, he was not only acquitted, but also made his reputation, and even got the military pay that he had been owed for many years. For the original Guanlong Military Group, these are undoubtedly equivalent to a slap in the face from external forces, and naturally they will not give up. Especially that Yu Wenshu, Xiao Mohe came to the capital when he was also in the capital. Yu Wenshu had always suspected that the secret secret of Xuan Xin was in Xiao Yi, so he naturally harbored a grudge against Xiao Mohe. This time Yu Wenshu came to Beijing to establish a comprehensive offensive and defensive alliance with Yang Su. Before, he and Yang Su only reached a verbal agreement to assist Jin Wang Yang Guang. This time, it was really implemented, making Yang Su completely turn to Yang Guang, clearing the way for Yang Guang to seize the throne of prince. Under Yu Wenshu's instigation, Yang Su soon became dissatisfied with Xiao Mohe, and they immediately went to the palace to meet Yang Jian and asked to take back their orders. Yu Wenshu and Yang Su were both Yang Jian's most valued ministers. Seeing their opposition, Yang Jian was a little embarrassed. After all, he had already issued an order to pardon Xiao Maha's crime of involvement. How could you change the order overnight if you didn't say anything? Yang Su also knowsAt this point, he took a step back and asked: "Your Majesty, even if Xiao Mohe is not held accountable, he should not be released back to Bingzhou and detained in the capital." Yu Wenshu also said: "Xiao Mohe is the general of Nanchen after all. Nowadays, the south has been fighting for many years, and all the old generals of Nanchen have rebelled. Xiao Mohe has great influence on them, and now he has received military pay. If he echoes the rebels in the south, it will be very harmful to the Sui Dynasty. " Yang Jian nodded, he also knew the stakes involved. But now that he had just praised Xiao Mohe and everyone in the world knew about it, and suddenly he was detained in the capital, it was inevitable that he would not be given the benefit of words and his reputation as a holy king would be tarnished. Yang Jian said: "It is of little use to detain Xiao Mohe alone in the capital. His two sons are already adults. The eldest son Xiao Shilue is guarding the important town of Yanmen Pass and holds real power. If Xiao Mohe is rashly detained, it will inevitably cause Xiao Shilue and the suspicion of his subordinates. The south is unstable, and detaining Xiao Mohe is not a good idea. It might be self-defeating." Yang Su thought for a while and said, "Then bring Xiao Yi, Xiao Mohe's biological son, to the capital. As a hostage, Xiao Mohe no longer has the ambitions he once had, and his only biological son is his weakness. Detaining Xiao Yi in the capital will eliminate worries about Xiao Mohe. " Yuwen Shuzheng had this intention. I was worried that I couldn't attack Xiao Yi. If I brought him to the capital, I might be able to get that strange book. Immediately agreed. Yang Jian suddenly said displeased: "Then Xiao Yi is still underage, how can we get him to the capital? Do we want everyone in the world to know that I plan to take Xiao Mohe's son as a hostage?" "Your Majesty, calm down!" Yang Su and Yu Wenshu looked at each other, and the former quickly started to argue, so he said: "Your Majesty, you can choose a princess of similar age to be married, announce the selection of a consort, and use this as a name to recruit Xiao Yi into the capital. That's it." Yang Jian suddenly said angrily: "Is it necessary for me to take a daughter as a hostage? It's really unreasonable!" Yang Su said hurriedly: "Your majesty, you don't mean to kill two birds with one stone! Good thing, please listen to the old minister." Yang Jian nodded, and Yang Su continued: "Recruiting Xiao Yi to Beijing in the name of choosing a prince is just a pretense. The princes are among them, especially those who are closely related to the southern noble families. They are all recruited to the capital in this name. The princess's selection of the consort is not something that can be completed in a day or two. It can be postponed indefinitely. , In fact, using them as hostages prevents them from having any dissent or supporting the southern rebels." Yang Jian understood and then his face became better. Just listen to Yang Su continue to say: "Of course, among so many candidates, there may be someone who is favored by the emperor and the princess. Afterwards, calling him the consort, wouldn't it be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?" After Yang Su finished speaking, he glanced at Yu Wenshu again. , the latter hurriedly agreed. Yang Jian nodded, mentally agreeing with the two's plan. This would not only detain Xiao Yi to restrain Xiao Maha, but also restrain other officials and generals who were sent abroad. It was indeed a good strategy. "It's just that I currently don't have a princess of the right age to marry, what should I do?" Yang Su smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be a princess, a daughter of the clan can also do it." Yu Wenshu suggested at this time: "Lan Princess Ling seems to be just fifteen years old this year. She is the emperor's favorite princess. She is like a princess. Everyone in the world knows that if the emperor recruits the sons of powerful families from all over the country to come to Beijing to choose a husband for Princess Lanling, Then no one will know the emperor's true intention, and it can be completely concealed. " Yang Jian nodded and said: "Lin'er has indeed reached the age of marriage, but she has a bad temper and has been refusing the marriage prepared for her by the queen in the past few years. She may not be willing to agree to this?" Yang Su and Yu Wenshu looked at each other, and it turned out that Yang Jian treated Princess Lanling differently. Other women in the clan, not even Yang Jian's biological daughter, would have hesitated like this. "How can we let our children have the final say in marriage matters? The emperor must show his power, otherwise the world will laugh at him." Well, Yang Su was cruel enough. He pushed Yang Jian into a corner with one sentence, but he said no Come up with rebuttal. "In this case, I will discuss it with the queen immediately. The two Qing families will be fully responsible for the specific operations." "I obey the order!" Yang Su and Yu Wenshu looked at each other again, both showing the joy of victory. Especially Yu Wenshu, seeing that his goal was achieved, secretly begged: Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, this time you come to the capital, if you don't hand over your things obediently, who can save you?
