Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 385
Yang Guang, who was in Luoyang, immediately summoned Pei Ju after receiving the letter from his third son.

On external matters, Yang Guang will basically discuss with Pei Ju, because he doesn't understand, but Pei Ju understands.

"This barbarian idiot actually wants me to give him a concubine princess?" Yang Guang handed his son's letter to Pei Ju, and then sneered, "Who gave him the guts to talk to me like this?"

At the end of this letter from home, there is Yang Ming's suggestion, which probably means that as long as Yang Guang is willing, he can find any woman to be his princess.

Pei Ju smiled and said: "King Qin really knows the general situation. I think that King Qin's suggestion is completely feasible."

"The third child is messing around, Gaochang is a small country, but it's just a corner of Hexi, what qualifications does it have to make peace with Sui?" Yang Guang said in a deep voice.

Pei Ju's rank is too high now, and his seat is very close to Yang Guang, only two or three meters away. Only a few ministers in the court are qualified to discuss matters with the emperor in such a close state.

This was deliberately arranged by Yang Guang, in order to create his own value for some courtiers, so that they would think that the emperor favored them extra.

Pei Ju laughed and said: "In the Western Regions, only Tuyuhun was married to me in the Sui Dynasty. Now that Tuyuhun is gone, Princess Guanghua has lost her role. She didn't want to return to the country, so she was settled in Fuqi City by Changsun Sheng. Then we, It is necessary to send another concubine princess to disturb the water pool in the Western Regions, so in your Majesty's opinion, who is the most qualified among the countries in the Western Regions?"

Princess Guanghua, a daughter of the imperial family of the Sui Dynasty, was named a consort princess by Yang Jian in the 16th year of Kaihuang, and married Murong Shifu of Tuyuhun. After Murong Shifu died, she married Shifu's son according to Tuyuhun's succession system Younger brother Murong Fuyun.

Now that Murong Fuyun was beheaded by Yang Ming, she became a widow, and her sons were also killed by the Sui army. After such a life change, she definitely didn't want to come back.

After pondering for a while, Yang Guang said: "In terms of marriage, it is natural that Western Turks are the most suitable right now, but I can't take the initiative to give them princesses, otherwise they will think that I am pleasing them."

"That's the reason," Pei Ju said with a smile: "We can't take the initiative, but how can we make the Western Turks take the initiative?"

"I understand," Yang Guang was a top-notch smart person, and after Pei Ju hinted at it, he immediately figured it out.

This is the strength of Pei Ju. He will not directly express his thoughts, but induce the emperor to guess. In this way, the emperor will feel that he is very smart. On the contrary, if he directly explains his plan, the emperor will feel Pei Ju is too smart.

Some emperors can accept that their courtiers are smarter than themselves, but among these emperors, there is absolutely no Yang Guang.

In the current Western Regions, Tuyuhun has been annexed by the Sui Dynasty, and its territory has expanded two thousand miles westward, which has already made the countries of the Western Regions tense. The best way at this time is to sow dissension and prevent them from uniting.

The Western Turks are the country with the largest territory and the strongest military force in the Western Regions. If it gradually encroached on the countries of the Western Regions, it would be detrimental to the Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, what Pei Ju meant was to make peace with Gaochang State first. Once this head is opened, other countries will think that they can also make peace with Sui, so they will give up submitting to the Western Turks and frequently curry favor with Sui.

And the Western Turks will think, I haven't married Da Sui yet, why are you Gaochang?In this way, if the Great Sui used troops against Gaochang in the future, the Western Turks would not intervene.

In order to prove their status as a big brother in the Western Regions, the Western Turks would also beg Sui to give them a princess.

It has to be said that Pei Ju has figured out the trick of combining vertical and horizontal.

Yang Guang smiled and said, "Did you say hello to the third child in advance, or else he wouldn't have put forward such a suggestion in the letter."

The greeting was real, but I didn't teach him about the princess's fall, but Pei Ju knew that he had to help Yang Ming, otherwise it would appear that Yang Ming was smarter than Yang Guang.

"I do have some hints," Pei Ju said with a smile.

Yang Guang laughed: "I'm just saying, the third child doesn't have so many conspiracies in his stomach, Shi Ju thinks, what should we do next?"

Pei Ju laughed and said, "Since King Gaochang is in Beijing right now, it is the best time for us to send troops to Yiwu. As for the choice of the princess, His Majesty can leave it to King Qin to arrange."

"Let the third child do the task of attacking Yiwu. This child still has a way of using soldiers." After finishing speaking, Yang Guang called Xiao Yu, the minister of internal history, and asked him to draft an imperial decree to seal and marry the princess.

The name of the princess is Huarong, which means that Guan Yu defeated Huarong, implying that he will punish King Gaochang in the future. As for who will be the Princess Huarong, it is up to Yang Ming to decide.

After the imperial decree is drawn up, it will be sent to the capital as soon as possible, and Yang Ming will receive it within five days at most.

As for the capital, something happened right now.

Wei Zheng almost died.

This kid was really lucky. After eating a few mouthfuls of dinner on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Wei Zheng felt that the taste was not right, and then told the jailer.

The jailer was dumbfounded at the time, and hurriedly brought over the corn and beard cakes that night, and handed them over to the pedestrians in the big prison who were in charge of drug testing.

The full name is Wu Zuo Pedestrian.

The drug test is so simple, find a chicken and let it eat, if the chicken is abnormal, it is poisonous.

As it turned out, nothing happened to the chicken, and Wei Zheng had already started to vomit and have diarrhea. The jailer hurriedly reported it, so the Imperial Medical Office sent someone over. Right now, we don’t know what kind of poison Wei Zheng has. Even if he knows, the only way to detoxify One, is to drink water, drink water non-stop.

Then Wei Zheng was watered and excreted non-stop. After one night, he was rescued, but he was also too weak.

And this chicken died smoothly.

For Wei Zheng right now, not only was the King of Qin staring at him, but Yushitai also greeted the Ministry of Punishment, saying that it was His Majesty's order that no one was allowed to approach Wei Zheng.

Yushitai also sent special personnel to the prison to take care of it.

So as soon as this incident came out, the officials in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment were all shocked.

Yang Ming was also alarmed, but he couldn't check the situation, because the people at Yushitai refused to let him, and the emperor said that no one was allowed to approach Wei Zheng, anyone, including Yang Ming.

"What's going on?" Yang Ming asked with an ugly expression.

The person who informed Yang Ming, surnamed Liu, had no name, was called Lao Liu, and was Du Yan's entourage. Du Yan couldn't escape right now, so he asked Lao Liu to come over and tell Yang Ming some specifics.

Old Liu said: "Your Highness, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and Yushitai have already sent people to investigate who poisoned them. There is no result yet. All the officials in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment have also been brought under control. The truth has come to light. It should be a day or two."

Yang Ming got angry and said, "I reminded Du Yan time and time again that I must take care of him. What did he do?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the head of the family is also very helpless," Lao Liu said tremblingly, "He can't always go to the big prison, it will make people suspicious, and the people we arranged for the prison secretary have all been sent away by Yushitai At present, except for the people from Yushitai and the jailer who specially delivers food to Wei Zheng, no one else can get close to Wei Zheng."

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Who is in Yushitai?"

"It's Chen Xiaoyi, the censor," Old Liu said.

Yang Ming frowned immediately, Chen Xiaoyi is absolutely fine, he has a very upright character, and he is also foolish and loyal, he absolutely dare not neglect his father's will.

Then who, under such strict supervision, can still attack Wei Zheng?

The cook probably wouldn't do this, it was ruining his own job.

At the court meeting the next day, Yang Ming pretended not to know anything, and he didn't pretend to be surprised until the people from Yushitai took the initiative to report the matter, and said in surprise:

"Who is the murderer? Have you found out?"

The two censors at Yushitai shook their heads at the same time, and the remaining two censors were still in the prison of the Ministry of punishment.

"Still investigating," Huang Fenglin said with a lonely face.

It stands to reason that the investigation of the case does not belong to Yushitai, but this time, Yushitai has received orders to take care of Wei Zheng, so they have to preside over the investigation, because something happened, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice are not willing to follow you Blame the blame, after all, you all changed the jailers, but the accident still happened.

Yang Ming asked again: "How is Wei Zheng?"

"Still recovering, the condition is not bad, there should be no serious problems," Huang Fenglin replied.

Yang Ming nodded. When Wei Zheng had an accident, many people would associate it with him and Yang Hao. After all, Wei Zheng scolded them both.

But on Yang Ming's side, the suspicion was very light, because if he wanted to kill Wei Zheng, he didn't have to throw him into the criminal department at all, he could kill him outside.

But now Wei Zheng is a very important person, many people have already seen it, otherwise he would not be so valued by the emperor.

So aside from Yang Ming, the most suspicious person must be Yang Hao.

This is meaningless, because once the prince is involved in all the cases in the Sui Dynasty, when investigating the case, they will definitely find a way to drag the prince's suspicion and let others take the blame.

Because the emperor didn't want to see such a result, the people below naturally wouldn't show such a result.

Most of the headless unjust cases in history were scapegoats.

In other words, even if Yang Hao sent someone to do it, the murderer had absolutely nothing to do with Yang Hao when the case was finally closed.

This is the hidden privilege of being the son of the emperor. It is against the law to kill people, but I'm sorry, what evidence do you have to prove that I killed people?
Yang Ming is almost certain that this case will not have a real result, and his father will not let Yang Hao be involved.

After the court meeting, Guan Wang Yang Xiong invited Yang Ming and Lu Chu to the Guan Wang Mansion for a banquet.

This is normal socializing.

Lu Chu has a lot of power now, and Yang Xiong wants to talk to others.

It is indeed necessary to maintain the private friendship with the ministers, and the banquet is a way to get closer to each other.

People not only have official duties, but also personal affairs.

In fact, Yang Ming really wanted to experience the kind of indecent banquet that Yang Yinjiang once said, but unfortunately, everyone thought he was very decent, so the banquets he attended were all very decent.

Serious banquets are actually quite boring, just watching some dancers dance, and watching too much will cause visual fatigue.

So during the banquet, Yang Ming hinted: "Wang Guan used to go to Yue Gong's mansion often, right? I heard that the things he has to add to the fun are very interesting."

No matter who Yang Xiong was, he immediately understood what Yang Ming was talking about.

I have, I have what Yang Su has, but the quality is not as high as Yang Su's.

I saw Yang Xiong turned his head and told his side to follow him, and then a group of dancers entered the hall.

Yang Mingchang has seen
Does he like this?Lu Chu thought about it, and I will arrange the next match.
