Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 153 Master-Apprentice Friendship
A large box was full, all of which were the blueprints of the five-tooth warship secretly preserved by Yang Su back then.

Yang Ming flipped through it roughly, but he couldn't understand it. He didn't know a lot of technical terms on it.

Professional things should be done by professional people. Yang Ming is not omnipotent. He doesn't even understand the principles of textile machines, let alone five-yarn warships.

This box was of great importance, Yang Ming was worried about being sent away, so he decided to take it with him when he returned to Jingzhou.

The second child, Yang Hao, was very miserable. He was shut into the courtyard, and the door was sealed by a talisman. In the courtyard, a group of Taoist priests set up an altar to set up a sacrificial offering, shaking the bells and banners in their hands. What a place.

Seeing Yang Ming coming in, Zhang Xiaobao, the number one dog beside Yang Ming, came up to meet him.

The kid had yellow talisman paper on his chest and back, and a garland on his head.

As Yang Wei's close servant, he seems to be in charge of taking the position, what position should he take?According to Taoist Zhao Zhao's password, walk the gossip in the yard, and let him stand where he stands. This process seems to be called attracting evil.

But now the ceremony is almost finished, so Zhang Xiaobao's two legs are free.

"Your Highness is here? The smell in the yard is choking, Your Highness should avoid it."

Yang Ming raised his hand and waved away the smell of smoke floating in front of him, and asked, "How long will this ceremony last?"

"An hour each in the morning, noon, and evening," Zhang Xiaobao said, "Realist Zhao said that the evil spirits on His Highness's body are quite stubborn and hard to get rid of. It will probably take nine days to completely eliminate them."

Yang Ming looked helpless.

In fact, apart from gambling houses, brothels, and usury, the most profitable industries in ancient times were people like Taoist Zhao Zhao.

This business is purely a profiteering industry, with a lot of profit, and it is inseparable from it to the princes, dukes, and common people.

The cost can vary from high to low, and someone like Zhao Zhao is equivalent to being a leader in the front end of the industry. He has people under his command, has magic tools, and a complete set of inheritance from the teacher, which is relatively authentic.

Folk warlocks don't need any cost, just a few pieces of yellow paper can be done.

As for whether it works or not, it is completely resigned to fate.

At this time, a Taoist priest came over, hoping that Yang Ming would leave, so as not to be infected with evil spirits.

Yang Ming couldn't refuse, nodded, turned around and walked out of the archway, and Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly followed:
"The Second Highness brought a few beautiful maidservants to His Highness from Jiangdu, and they are currently living in the side courtyard. The villain will send them to you now?"

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Aren't there any evil spirits on them that need to be expelled?"

"Zhao Zhenzhen has checked it, it is not necessary," Zhang Xiaobao said.

Yang Ming nodded: "Send it here."

He can't not, why not?What kind of man would refuse a beautiful woman brought to his lips?

In Qingshanfang, five Jiangnan women stood in front of Yang Ming in a row.

Juicy, really juicy, the little skin is tender, as if it can squeeze out water.

As expected of a Jiangnan woman, she is more lovable than a northern woman, which will make you feel a desire to protect.

Yang Ming will keep these maidservants, and they can give them to others when they have a chance.

He didn't enjoy it himself, after all, there was Chen Shuyi, who was like a top match for Jiangnan women, by his side.

According to Chen Shuyi, since Gao Yue returned to Daxing, she has been out of her mind all day long, and Chen Shuyi's IQ can't find any useful information.

Of course Yang Ming wouldn't ask, because he knew it well, and he couldn't ask it himself.

The secrets of the other party can be conditional on Pei Ju's dowry, so it can be seen that the involvement is absolutely huge.

This woman must be taken care of.

Since he couldn't enter the palace, Yang Ming could only wander outside every day, most of the time he went to Jinyang Tower.

Ten days later, Li Jing returned to Beijing. He was summoned by the Ministry of Officials and was given a reward.

Yang Ming won't rely on his own relationship to give Li Jing more rewards, don't worry about it, take your time.

However, Li Jing was highly valued by Changsun Sheng because of his meritorious service in attacking the Turks in the north, so he was at the top of the list of meritorious service submitted by Changsun Sheng to the imperial court.

After being reviewed by the Ministry of Officials, it was handed over to Yang Jian, the Supreme Venerable. Finally, Li Jing was awarded the honor of the Third Division of Yitong and given to one hundred households in Shiyi, Longxi County.

That is to say, the taxes of one hundred commoners in Longxi County belonged to Li Jing and became his salary, which was a lifetime salary, which was considered a good reward.

After receiving the reward, Li Jing first went to meet Yang Su, which Yang Ming had agreed with him.

Li Jing will still follow Yang Su's path in the future, and when Yang Su is unable to support him, it will be Yang Ming's turn to step in.

Yuegong Mansion,
Yang Su stood in the study, flipping through some classics, while Li Jing bowed his head and accompanied him, waiting for Yang Su's words.

"The King of Hedong is also in great prosperity right now, why don't you go to see him first, but come to see the old man?" Yang Su said slowly.

Li Jing hurriedly said: "The disciple has been supported by his mentor all the way, and the kindness of teaching him will not be forgotten for a day."

"Hehe." Yang Su smiled: "It's rare that you still know that you are the disciple of this old man. I thought you had forgotten the truth that one minister does not serve two masters."

"Disciple will never dare to forget, and will never do so," Li Jing said respectfully.

Yang Su snorted and said: "The King of Hedong has been planning for you all the time. You should also remember this kindness. It is rare for others to value it. After a hundred years, you can also change your family and join him, and let him support you. With your talent and learning, the title of duke is also expected."

"My disciple has absolutely no such intentions. I hope my teacher will learn from me." Li Jing fell to his knees with a thump.

Li Jing still has feelings for Yang Su, and he was able to enter the official career because of his support all the way. In his opinion, without Yang Su, he would have no chance to know Yang Ming.

Moreover, Da Sui always paid attention to the relationship between master and apprentice, and Li Jing was not the kind of ungrateful villain.

Yang Su nodded, sat down beside the elders, and said slowly:

"This old man is not joking with you, or trying to test you. In fact, this old man intends to let the eldest daughter of Xuangan marry into the Prince's Mansion of Hedong. Since you are my protégé, I would like to see you have a good relationship with Prince of Hedong. .”

Li Jing looked up suspiciously.

Seeing this, Yang Su waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Xuangan is stupid, you know, the old man is the most worried about him in this life, but fortunately Yin Jiang is intelligent and filial, if she can become the main concubine of Hedong King , when I die, Xuangan will not even have a helper by my side."

"Why did my mentor say that?" Li Jing plopped on his knees and cried out, "You are old and healthy, and you spread benevolence and righteousness to the world. God will definitely show mercy. My mentor still has a lifespan of one year. Don't say such self-sorrowful words. .”

"Okay, okay, what are you crying for when you're old?" Yang Su smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I know my body best. At my age, I'm just waiting for a serious illness. You get up first, and I I have something to tell you."

Li Jing wiped his tears with his sleeve, got up with a sob, "disciple respectfully listen to teacher's instruction."

Yang Yue saw it in his eyes, and after pondering for a while, said:
"Of all my disciples, I have always valued you the most. I told you at the beginning that you will eventually take my position."

"Disciple." Li Jing was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yang Su raising his hand: "Listen to me."

"I think I have three unique things in my life. First, I am unparalleled in loyalty and filial piety. In the old Zhou Dynasty, I attached myself to the supreme command. It has been 22 years since I have been tasked with destroying Nanchen, rebelling against Jiangnan, and defeating Turkic. Given by Shenglongchong, I, Yang Subie, dare not say anything about loyalty, and there is no courtier who can match it."

"Second, benevolence and righteousness are incomparable. It is said that I, Yang Su, kill the most people and rule people the most ruthlessly. Those who say this are not worthy of refutation, and they are not worthy of my refutation. Those who know me are also two saints. The rest of the sons are short-sighted. Only Gao Jiong is one person, and he is still half a bosom friend."

"Third, you know people like no other. Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, except for Gao Jiong, Su Wei and Pei Ju, most of the others who have lords have served under the account of the old man. They can have today's status, and they should be most grateful The only person besides the Second Sage is me."

Everyone knows this.

Liang Shiyan, Yuan Xie, Yu Wenxin, Yu Wenshu, Cui Hongdu, Li Xun, Wang Changxi, Liu Renen, Lai Huer, Shi Wansui, etc., all served under Yang Su.

The general of the Sui Dynasty, who was half out of Yuefu, this sentence is not casual.

Yang Su sighed and continued: "This time when I attacked the Turks in the north, I realized that my body is old and decayed, and I am not as good as before. I am afraid that I will not lead the army to go out again in the future. If you follow me, this road will not be far away." , I advise you to switch to Yang Ming, not to test you, but to find a way out for you."

"Teacher." Li Jing, who was listening on the side, was already sobbing.

Yang Su said with a smile: "Everyone will grow old. The old man has been contented for a lifetime of prosperity. It is a pity that the eldest son Xuangan is hard to become a great weapon. Without the help of a good man, with his temperament, great things will happen in the future, so The old man hopes that Pharmacist will advise Xuangan a lot in the future, lest he go on the wrong path."

Li Jing nodded quickly: "I will keep this in mind, and I will always persuade Xuangan."

Yang Su nodded with a look of relief: "I have done my best in the matter of Yinjiang, and the position of the main concubine will not be left behind, so from now on, you should treat Yang Ming as you would me. Among the three princes, this son is the most important." If there are changes in the future, remember to advise him to keep a low profile and not to show his edge, so as not to be remembered by Donggong (Yang Zhao)."

Li Jing was stunned: "There are still variables in the future?"

Yang Su smiled meaningfully, stroked his beard and said, "The only constant thing in the world is that it keeps changing. This old man is 58 this year. How many of the major events in his life are expected? The world is fickle. , It's beyond the human mind's ability to speculate, only by weighing all kinds of things and waiting for opportunities to adapt, can we be invincible, pharmacists must remember."

"Disciple would like to follow the instruction," Li Jing saluted respectfully.

Yang Su nodded: "Don't let Yang Ming know what I told you today. I think he treats you sincerely. You will have to walk the future on your own. If I can live a few more years , I should make another plan for you, and it will not be in vain for you and me to be a mentor."

Li Jing knelt down fiercely, and kowtowed heavily to Yang Su three times.

Yang Su got up and helped Li Jing up himself: "Get up, after Yin Jiang, I will leave it to you."
