Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 19 The Story of Spring

At the foot of the mountain, dozens of tents of different sizes rose on the ground.

Apart from the guards who were in charge of patrolling the surrounding area, the camp was very lively with people coming and going.

Cattle, sheep, chickens and geese were raised in captivity, specially used to adjust the taste of several His Royal Highnesses in the Jin Palace. There was no shortage of water in the camp. In addition to the dozens of barrels they brought, there was a clear stream flowing through the mountains.

After dinner in the evening, Yang Ming returned to his tent.

"I'm going out for a stroll to refresh myself, so you don't have to follow," Yang Ming said, then changed into a black outfit and got out of the tent.

Chen Shuyi, who didn't know why, wanted to ask, but when she saw that Xu Jing and others were silent and their expressions were normal, she didn't ask.

In fact, when Yang Ming was in the palace, he would often be alone at night.

When he was eight years old, Emperor Yang Jian found him a master, Xiao Gai, a doctor of Guozijian. After studying "Poetry", "Book", "Spring and Autumn", and "Book of Rites" for about half a year, Yang Ming was not interested. Learn more.

Yang Jian didn't care about this, after all, the Guanlong Group has a characteristic, that is, it has no separation of civil and military careers. To put it bluntly, it doesn't value reading very much.

In the early days of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, there was no distinction between civil servants and military officials. They could negotiate national policies when they were in court, and generals could lead thousands of troops when they were in the dynasty.

It wasn't until Yang Jian created the scientific examination system that officials in various states and counties were allowed to nominate three scholars to participate in the annual scientific examination.

There is only one item in the exam, which is called policy questions. The emperor set up questions based on classics or political affairs, and asked candidates to answer them, which required a lot of knowledge reserves.

Therefore, regardless of the north and the south, young people gradually start to study hard.

This is the rudiment of the ancient Chinese imperial examination, but it is only a rudiment. After all, this thing depends on the recommendation of the local officials, and in essence it depends on the relationship.

And after Yang Ming abandoned literature, he must have joined the martial arts.

So Emperor Yang Jian found another master for him: Shangkaifu Yitong Sansi, left leader General Shi Wansui.

Shi Wansui became famous at the age of 15. He has experienced hundreds of battles and is known as the number one fierce general of the Sui Dynasty, especially his kung fu in bow horse and fist.

What kind of master teaches what kind of apprentice, so Yang Ming is proficient in bow and horse, and his fists are strong.

Because Shi Wansui taught Yang Ming martial arts in the palace, few people knew what kind of state Yang Ming's kung fu had reached.

Even Xu Jing didn't know.

After Yang Ming left the camp, he strode like flying, shuttled through the dense forests in the mountains, and the small martial arts practice gave him a solid foundation, and his muscles and bones were tempered to be extremely tough.

After finding a rare flat ground halfway up the mountain, Yang Ming took off his shirt, began to adjust his breathing, and put on a fist fight.

Every time a punch is released, there is a strong wind.

Shi Wansui's boxing skills are honed step by step on the battlefield, he focuses on attacking but not defending.

Regardless of body and mind, there should be no retreat.

The disadvantage is that it is easy to get injured.

There is no specific division of realm in Sui martial arts, only a few simple adjectives: ten enemies, hundred enemies, thousand enemies, ten thousand enemies.

Enemies with ten men should be relatively common. Many of the imperial guards in the imperial city are of this level.
Enemy of a hundred people, it is said that Guo Yilang's general Pang Ben once fought against a team of hundreds of people shirtless on the school field without losing.
As for the enemy of thousands of people and the enemy of ten thousand people, Yang Ming thinks that this is purely an exaggerated rhetorical technique. Shi Wansui is known as the enemy of ten thousand people. Could it be that he can really fight against 1 people?
It is estimated that 1 people can drown him by spitting on each of them.

After punching and kicking several times, Yang Ming was already dripping with sweat. He wanted to continue, but was attracted by some strange voices.

He does physical training but not qi training, so his eyes and ears are a little bit sharper than ordinary people.

The sound came from the woods not far behind him, and it was inevitable that someone would notice him. Yang Ming put on his shirt carefully, and hid in a bush of thorns.

"Why do you have to climb so high to appreciate the moon?" A female voice sounded.

"It's quiet here, no one else will disturb us," the man's voice was very nice.

The female voice said: "Let's go down, after a long time, those servants will tell my father."

"It's okay, it won't take long," the male voice said.

"Don't you don't do this"

"Alright Sister Liu, let's go down."

Yang Ming hid in the grass in a daze, thinking that this man is a real person, and it really won't last long.

I haven't participated in the spring outing in previous years. I didn't expect it to be so exciting. The women of Tai Sui have opened up to this point?
Oops, miss miss.
Before the couple's footsteps had gone far, Yang Ming heard other people's voices again.

"It turned out to be Brother Liu. I didn't expect to meet you here late at night. It's really a pleasure to meet you."

"Brother Wang, cough cough, are you going up the mountain with this girl?"

"Exactly, the moonlight is alluring, and it's hard to see clearly from below, so I want to find a good place to watch the moon."

"Oh, that's it. The higher-ups can't really see it clearly. Brother Wang bid farewell."

All the way down the mountain, Yang Ming found at least two more pairs of men and women climbing the mountain. From this, it can be imagined that, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, these spring-loving boys and girls have already mobilized.

At the foot of the mountain, a group of maids and servants yawned and waited hard, divided into several groups in bright costumes.

When they saw Yang Ming, they weren't surprised, they were just more or less surprised: This young man can do it too?
The night in the mountains is lively, because there are things to do during the day and things to do at night. Obviously, the night will be more busy during the spring outing.

Seeing Yang Ming return from a distance, Xu Jing immediately came up to him and said:

"Your Highness, the Second Master and the Eldest Miss came to see you and said that His Highness King Changning had a night banquet and invited you to come. If you are not here, the two Highnesses will go first."

The king of Changning is Yang Yan, the eldest son of Yang Yong,
"I won't go to any banquet at night," Yang Ming was about to return to the camp as he said.

"Farewell, Your Highness," Xu Jing hurriedly grabbed Yang Ming, "Second Master and Eldest Miss are not familiar with Daxing, and have no acquaintances. If you don't go, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the two Highnesses at the banquet?"

Yang Ming thinks about it too. Calling people away in the middle of the night, I don't know what that little bastard Yang Yan is up to.
Based on what he knew about Yang Yan, he was afraid that they would embarrass Yang Yan and the others at the banquet.

After turning over a mountain, there is the Donggong camp, which is much larger than Yang Ming's.

In a huge tent in the middle, laughter,
As the eldest son of the crown prince, Yang Yan naturally took the lead. Sitting under him were Yang Yong's other sons: Yang Yu, King of Pingyuan, Yang Jun, King of Ancheng, and Yang Ke, King of Xiangcheng.

Then, there are Yang Hao and Yang Chan from Jin Palace, Yang Xiao and Yang Ming from Shu Palace, Yang Hao from Han Palace, Yang Hao and Yang Zhan from Qin Palace.

These are the most upright sons of the Sui Dynasty, they have the same grandfather and grandmother.

In addition, there are also a group of children from the Yang family's clan. These people are basically for laughing and setting off the atmosphere.

Since Yang Yan and Yang Chan came in, they were very embarrassed, because from the beginning to the end, Yang Yan, as the master, did not greet them, but had a good chat with the prince of Han Palace.

The host's attitude determines the attitudes of the other guests. Yang Hao and Yang Chan were naturally left alone, and no one came forward to talk to them.

Let's go, it's not suitable, let's not go, it's really like sitting on pins and needles.

"Although there was no civil and military division in the Great Sui Dynasty, the Eastern Ping and the Northern Qi, the South destroying the old Chen, and the North rejecting the Turks all subjugated the Quartet by force. Therefore, this king believes that the Great Sui actually established the country by force,"

After speaking, Yang Yan scanned the hall proudly: "Do you think so?"

Yang Hao, the eldest son of King Yang Liang of the Han Dynasty, hurriedly said: "Brother's words are the most reasonable."

Yang Yan was very pleased with this flattery, smiled slightly, and looked at the Yang Yan brothers and sisters for the first time:
"My brother and sister Chan have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, so don't be contaminated with those pedantic spirits."

This sentence somewhat belittles the southerners, but Yang Hao is not easy to refute, after all, all the people here are from the north, and he is also from the north.

"What the elder brother said is that the younger brother is willing to listen to the teachings."

At this time, Yang Ke, the fifth son of Yang Yong's family and king of Xiangcheng, got up and said:
"As the sons of the clan, we must never forget the difficulties of the two sages in starting a business. We established the country with martial arts, and we should protect the country with martial arts. This king is not talented. He has a martial arts master, Cen Zhong, who is known as a stick hero in the Jianghu. Who is willing to fight? Chat to add to the fun?"

Yang Hao frowned slightly. He had heard that there was often a tradition of martial arts competitions among the nobles in Daxing. Many martial arts in the Jianghu relied on serving as guards for the nobles as a stepping stone for promotion.

Although he had been mentally prepared before, he also brought Zhang Mu and other experts with him, just to deal with this kind of situation.

But this time he clearly felt that the other party was coming for Prince Jin's Mansion.

Without it, because father Yang Guang is a contemporary master of the stick technique, and he also practiced the stick technique.
