Chapter 947 Chapter 947, King Weiyuan

The sudden downfall of the Wei family surprised and surprised all the officials in Liangdu, while the officials of the Wei family were full of fear.

"Third brother, I didn't expect the emperor to send you here!"

Seeing Yan Wentao, Yan Wenxiu and Dong Yuanxuan were very happy.

Yan Wentao smiled and said, "The emperor knows the situation in Xiliang, and he also understands Ye Yang's difficulties. The reason for me to come here is to cooperate with Ye Yang well."

Dong Yuanxuan nodded: "Don't say it, we really have something to look for you."

Yan Wentao immediately turned serious: "What do you want me to do?"

Dong Yuanxuan said: "If the Wei family falls, it will inevitably make those officials who are attached to the Wei family feel a crisis. Now the war with Xiliao is still going on. If they make trouble at this time, it will be very unfavorable to the war."

"For the sake of Xiliang's stability, I have to trouble you to go to the Commander's Office and announce the reason why the Wei family was raided."

"Of course, it's not an announcement of the Wei family's full guilt, but just an announcement of the Wei family's collusion with Xiliao and treason for glory during the war."

"The officials of the Wei family's first party are not involved in this, which will make them feel more at ease."

"On Yeyang's side, there is no plan to continue the liquidation, so the officials of Xiliang feel that this matter is over."

Yan Wentao nodded, and after all the Wei clan members were arrested, he took the imperial decree and went to the Command and Envoy Division to announce the Wei family's collusion with Xiliao.

As Dong Yuanxuan and Yan Wenxiu thought, all the officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the Wei family was copied because they colluded with Xiliao.

Yan Wentao looked at the officials: "The emperor has explained that now Lord Xiao is commanding the army to fight against the Western Liaoning. You must manage the affairs of Xiliang well."

The officials nodded hurriedly and said, "The ministers will obey the holy verses."

In the face of danger, self-protection is a human instinct. When the officials of the Wei family saw that the emperor only held the Wei family to be responsible for colluding with Xiliao, they all shrunk in order.

This made Yan Wenxiu and Dong Yuanxuan very relieved.

When Yan Wentao came this time, he wanted to see Daohua, but due to the lack of time, he only saw Xiao Yeyang, and then escorted the Wei family back to Beijing.

After solving the Wei family, Xiao Yeyang focused all his energy on dealing with Xiliao.

Fighting in winter is a very torturous thing. Fortunately, the Daxia army has enough food and new winter clothes. The morale of the soldiers is as high as ever.

The Xiliao army was not so lucky.

Originally, Xiliao was not ready for a war with Daxia, but it was because he was lucky enough to get a batch of food from Xiao Yechi. Now that the food was exhausted, Xiliao could no longer support it.

However, in the face of Xiao Yeyang's proposal to become a vassal of Daxia, this made the Xiliao royal family and officials unacceptable, so they could only bite the bullet and continue to fight.

From October to March of the second year, Xiliao successively sent three additional batches of support troops, totaling more than 100,000 people. Unfortunately, they were all defeated by the Daxia army.

At this time, Xiliao was completely defeated and could no longer fight against Daxia.

Xiao Yeyang took advantage of the victory to pursue and led 20,000 cavalry to attack directly outside the Imperial City of Western Liao.

In view of the painful lesson that the Tartar royal family did not commit to directly destroying the country, the King of Xiliao endured the humiliation and nodded in agreement to become a vassal of Daxia.

At the end of the war, Xiliao suffered heavy losses, and many people died in Daxia.

"My lord, what about the tens of thousands of prisoners of war in Xi Liao?"

Master Wang came over.

Xiao Yeyang was silent for a while and said, "Although Xiliang's defense has been strengthened after the construction of the Twelve Army Town, it is not enough. Let those prisoners of war repair the border wall and connect the Twelve Army Town."

When Master Wang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Your Excellency is far-sighted, and your subordinates will do it immediately." With the side wall, Xiliang's defense will be stronger.

After the victory of the war, Xiao Yeyang, as the commander-in-chief of the Xiliang frontier army, wanted to lead his troops and bring the Xiliao embassy back to the capital to sign an armistice agreement.

Ganzhou City.

Xiao House.

When Daohua received the news of the surrender of Xiliao, she immediately smiled and picked up her fat son who was wearing a red bellyband and was chewing on her feet.

"Daozi, your father will be back soon, is Gao happy?"

Daozi felt her mother's joy, and giggled, her fat arms fluttering around like a lotus root, as if to echo her mother.

Seeing that her son was so cute and cute, Daohua kissed his chubby face fiercely.

Gu Yu, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "The war is finally over. In the future, Uncle can accompany the girl and the young master at home."

Saying that, he paused.

"I just don't know how long it will take for my uncle to return to Beijing. The little son will soon be one year old. I don't know if the uncle can come back to celebrate the little son's birthday."

Hearing this, Daohua was also a little silent: "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back, it's mid-April now."

On my son's birthday on May 11, the journey from Beijing to Xiliang is not too short.

Daohua looked at her son: "If your father misses your birthday, let him make it up, okay?"

Daozi still giggled and kept clapping his hands and babbling in his mouth.

When Daohua saw it, she couldn't help laughing: "Silly son."

The news that Xi Liao was defeated and willing to become a vassal of Daxia was sent back to the capital, which directly attracted the attention of civil and military officials, and even the emperor was surprised and shocked.

You must know that Xiliang is the poorest province in the Xia Dynasty. With no support from the imperial court, Xiao Yeyang could still defeat the Western Liaoning, which really surprised everyone.

After being shocked, I was filled with joy.

The addition of a dependent country not only shows the strong national strength of Daxia, but also harvests a lot of tributes every year, which is really gratifying.

Before Xiao Yeyang led the embassy to Beijing, the emperor discussed the reward with the court officials in the early dynasty.

"Yeyang has done a great job this time, how do you think I should reward him?"

All the ministers were unsure of the emperor's attitude, so they were silent and did not speak.

Seeing that no one was talking, the emperor said to himself: "Yeyang beat the Western Liao and bowed his head and declared himself a minister, and the prestige of our country should be rewarded."

The ministers quickly agreed: "The emperor is holy."

The emperor continued: "As you all know about the situation in Xiliang, the biggest foreign trouble is Xiliao. Now that Xiliao has been annexed, Xiliang should be managed. Who do you think is suitable to send?"

All the officials were taken aback by this question.

Is the emperor going to recall Xiao Yeyang to the capital?

to govern Xiliang.

The officials were not very interested in this, and there was nothing they could do. As a place of exile, Xiliang was too barren, bitter and cold, the climate was not good, and the conditions were too poor.

Yang Chenghua pondered the emperor's words for a while, then looked at the emperor's expression again, thought about it, and stood up and said: "Emperor, since it was Lord Xiao who defeated Xiliao, why not let him stay and govern Xiliang?"

Saying that, he paused.

"It's just that it must be quite difficult to manage Xiliang, and this time Master Xiao has made great contributions. After Master Xiao returns to Beijing, the emperor's reward should not be heavier?"

The emperor pondered for a while, and nodded in agreement: "Yang Aiqing is right, but what should be rewarded?" After speaking, he paused, "What do you think of naming him King of Weiyuan?"

As soon as these words came out, Baiguan was boiling.

Is the emperor trying to reward Xiao Yeyang with a royal title?

The princes of the previous dynasty were also shocked. You must know that they have not been crowned princes yet.
