Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 147 Returning to the Capital
Pei Ju, it's not an exaggeration if you use the four words "both ancient and modern" to describe him.

This talent has high talent, strong adaptability, and absolute resourcefulness, which is unrivaled in the Sui Dynasty.

Xue Daoheng was already a top scholar, so he still had to help Pei Ju, and he was convinced. Historically, after the end of the Sui Dynasty, he still served as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the Tang Dynasty, and he was posthumously named Wen Jing after his death.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Pei family of Hedong also flourished in chaos, and there were not a few people who were appointed as marquises and worshiped ministers. Only Jingzhao Webster can be compared.

Since he wanted to ask Pei Ju for help, he couldn't get past Pei Shuying.

Although it was late at night, Yang Ming asked Chen Shuyi to wake Pei Shuying up.

Yang Yinjiang didn't have any clothes on, and it was inconvenient to go out, so she asked Pei Shuying to put on her clothes and came here to see Yang Ming.

Pei Shuying knew that it must be urgent to find her in the middle of the night, so she put on a random dress and ran over.

The hibiscus came out of the clear water, and it was naturally carved. Pei Shuying was beautiful and charming. Although her hair was fluffy and her clothes were disheveled, she had a special charm. Yang Ming couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Pei Shuying asked while putting on her belt after entering.

Yang Ming said, "I want to ask you for a favor."

"As long as I can do it, you can just open your mouth." Pei Shuying was very straightforward, she came to the table and sat down, watching Chen Shuyi start to prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

"Whom should I write to?"

Yang Ming nodded, and told about Gao Lande: "I need Mr. Pei to help find out who this Gao Lande is."

Pei Shuying nodded, and started to write with a pen. The handwriting is beautiful, round and plump, which is a rare good handwriting.

"Tomorrow morning, I will hand over the letter to my uncle and ask him to send competent people in the clan to send it to the capital as soon as possible." Pei Shuying put down her pen and dried the ink stains on the paper.

Yang Ming said, "It's time to work."

"So polite?" Pei Shuying frowned immediately, glanced at Yang Yinjiang who was on the bed, and said, "It's definitely not appropriate to enter a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night. Your Highness should be more careful in the future."

Don't be jealous, the next time you enter your boudoir, Yang Ming said with a smile: "It's urgent, it's really abrupt, pay attention in the future."

Pei Shuying hummed, got up and went back to her room.

She and Yang Yinjiang lived in the same yard, one north and the other east. After returning to the room, she hid in the gap by the window and stared at the movement outside the yard.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and she can see anyone in the courtyard through the gaps.

She wanted to see when Yang Ming would leave.

The scene just now made her feel very uncomfortable, because she felt that the relationship between Yang Ming and Yang Yinjiang was too close, and she didn't shy away from it at all.

Yang Yinjiang is also true, can't you get dressed and then open the door for him?What's going on under the covers?
After a long time, she didn't see Yang Ming leave, and the feeling of discomfort in her heart became stronger and stronger, and she almost couldn't help but want to go and have a look several times.

Why are you still not leaving?What are you doing?you go
About half an hour later, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing in the yard. She was finally relieved, sighed softly, and returned to the bed to rest, but she had no sleep all night.

In mid-May, Yang Ming did not wait for Pei Ju's letter, but waited for an imperial decree.

The imperial decree was brought by the eunuch in the palace, ordering Yang Ming to return to Beijing immediately.

This is a big event, Yang Ming had a premonition that the situation was not good, so he ordered Xu Jing to prepare the frame, and he would return to Daxing together with the eunuch from the palace tomorrow morning.

In the front office, Yang Ming summoned Yuan Wendu and others to give instructions, and then returned to the inner garden.

Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying's maidservants are packing their luggage, and they will return to Beijing with Yang Ming.

"What's going on? Did the servant ever say so?" Yang Yinjiang also guessed that something big would happen if the chief executive was transferred back to the capital in such a hurry.

In the Sui Dynasty, eunuchs were not called father-in-law or eunuch, but internal servants, referring to people who specialized in serving the emperor and empress.

Yang Ming shook his head and said, "I asked, but I didn't say anything, I just said that the Supreme has ordered me to return to the capital without delay."

"Huh..." Pei Shuying let out a long breath, and said: "There must be a major event in the capital. After returning to the capital, Your Highness must remember to be careful."

She was afraid that something would happen to Yang Ming, because the position of chief executive was almost no different from that of a vassal king, so such an urgent transfer might not be good for Yang Ming.

Could it be that something happened to the prince?Pei Shuying looked nervous and her mind was full of random thoughts.

After all, Jin Wang succeeded as the crown prince not long ago, and his foundation is still not stable. The old prince's power is still there. If someone is playing tricks behind his back, there may be problems.

How could this happen? Pei Shuying burst into tears, lowering her head and wiping her tears with her sleeves.

Seeing this, Yang Ming deliberately said: "If something really happened, it would be a big deal to be demoted to a commoner."

Yang Ming guessed which direction she would associate with. In fact, all people would subconsciously think in that direction, including Yuan Wendu and the others.

When they were in Qianya in the morning, Yuan Wendu Du Ruhui and others knew that Yang Ming had been transferred to the capital in a hurry, and all of them changed their expressions.

This is normal, Qin Wangjun was transferred back to the capital, and Shu Wangxiu was also transferred back to the capital, and the two sons were also transferred back to the capital in a hurry.

"Don't talk nonsense, you won't be in trouble if anyone gets into trouble," Yang Yinjiang gave Yang Ming a hard look.

The fact is true, as long as Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo are still alive, nothing will happen to Yang Ming, and after the two pass away, the old man will be the new king, and it will be difficult for Yang Ming to have an accident at that time.

Pei Shuying was also impatient and confused, so she could think wildly.

Yang Ming deliberately teased her and said, "If I become a commoner, I still expect you to help me."

Pei Shuying burst into tears with a "wow", and threw herself into Yang Ming's arms, sobbing, "If you are a commoner, I will follow."

Yang Yinjiang's complexion changed drastically.
What are you doing?It's not that serious at all, okay?Which one are you playing?

Yang Yinjiang is angry, but she also knows that Pei Shuying is showing her true feelings, not pretending, but your timing is too accurate. Yang Ming will definitely be moved after hearing your words.

My God, it's impossible to guard against, this girl really gave me a blow.

So Yang Yinjiang glared at Yang Ming angrily, and asked you to tease her, now it's all right, she said what she shouldn't have said, what should I do?
Was Yang Ming moved?I was really moved, because he knew that Pei Shuying wasn't pretending, this girl couldn't pretend.

"Okay, okay, nothing will happen,"

After pushing Pei Shuying away, Yang Ming wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "You will know what happened when you return to Beijing."

Opening the imperial calendar, on June 25, Yang Ming arrived in the capital.

Eldest brother Yang Zhao greeted him personally outside the city gate. After seeing Yang Ming, he immediately asked for a horse:

"Brother Ming will follow me into the palace."

After finishing speaking, Yang Zhaochao said to the servants in the general manager's mansion, "Go back to the palace to rest."

Then, under the escort of a team of imperial city guards, Yang Ming followed his elder brother and rode towards the imperial city.

Now, Pei Shuying was completely relieved. As long as Jin Wang Yang Zhao was fine, Yang Ming would be fine. Afterwards, she said goodbye to Yang Yinjiang and returned to Pei's residence with her servants.

Father is a close minister of the Second Sage, so he must know what happened.

As soon as she returned to the house, Pei Shuying threw the whip to the housekeeper, and hurriedly walked towards the inner courtyard: "Is father here?"

"The master is in the study," said the housekeeper.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, Pei Ju put down the scroll in his hand, and looked at his daughter with a smile:

"Didn't you wash your face first and see you as a father again?"

Pei Shuying frowned and sat down in front of her father, asking, "What happened to the capital?"

Pei Ju smiled and said, "It's nothing, the Holy Empress is just feeling unwell."

Pei Shuying trembled all over, dumbfounded.

Of course she was aware of her father's way of speaking, no matter how big the matter was to him, it was calm and calm, but in fact, if the Holy Queen was really just unwell, her father would not mention it.

"What happened to the Holy Queen?" Pei Shuying asked in shock.

Pei Ju said lightly: "Didn't I tell you? It's just that I'm not feeling well."

"Don't lie to me," Pei Shuying said hastily, "If it's just that he's unwell, it's impossible for Yang Ming to be called back to Beijing in a hurry."

Pei Ju still had the same calm tone: "Then what do you think, what should you say as a father? My child, don't be so straightforward in what you say and do in the future. Some blunt words will hurt others, while others will hurt yourself."

Pei Shuying understood that something serious must have happened to the Holy Queen's body, her father couldn't tell, and he didn't dare to tell.

"Yang Ming was brought up by Ersheng, he must be very sad," Pei Shuying said with a lonely expression.

"Shut up!" Pei Ju flicked his sleeves violently, and said with rare anger, "Don't talk nonsense from now on."

Pei Shuying came to her senses and hurriedly said, "It's my daughter who made a slip of the tongue."

Pei Ju shook his head helplessly and said: "Your tongue is so stupid, how can I let my father feel at ease? If you still can't change it in the future, my father can only find you an ordinary family to marry off, otherwise with your temperament, you will definitely not be able to enter a wealthy family." Nobility."

Pei Shuying was taken aback for a moment, then thought of Yang Ming, and hurriedly made amends: "Daughter should be careful in speaking from now on, and don't dare to speak nonsense anymore."

His temper is too straightforward, and he is really not suitable to be in the big family, let alone the royal family.

Pei Shuying recalled that she had indeed offended Yang Ming because of some blunt words, and it seemed that this problem must be corrected.

After a long time, Pei Ju asked again: "During this time in Jingzhou, what do you think of Yang Yinjiang?"

"Bingxue is smart and good at reading people's hearts," Pei Shuying said honestly: "It's obvious that she has deep scheming, but people can't hate her, and instead increase her goodwill."

"This is where you are inferior to her," Pei Ju said with a smile, "but it is also where you are worse than her."

Pei Shuying was stunned: "What does father mean by that?"

Pei Ju treated his daughter patiently, and said slowly:

"People always like to deal with people who are a little bit stupider than themselves, no one is an exception, so all the ministers in the court like to pretend to be stupid, but this stupid must master the fire, you are stupid than the Supreme, and you are better than the people above you Stupid, but not stupider than the people below."

"Compared with Yang Yinjiang, the biggest advantage of you is that Yang Ming will think you are stupid than him, and Yang Yinjiang is too sharp in front of Yang Ming, which is not good. It is easy to become Yang Ming's confidant, but it is difficult to become a close friend. Pillowman."

"This is human nature. Your mind is too easy to be guessed by others, and you will feel a sense of frustration. On the contrary, if others can't figure it out, you will feel satisfied and have a sense of accomplishment."

Pei Shuying still didn't understand: "Could it be that being stupid is sometimes an advantage? My daughter doesn't understand."

"You don't understand now," Pei Ju said with a smile, "but one day in the future, you will understand."
