Emperor Sui Yang

Feng An dismounted from the horse, and then brought Ning Changzhen, the second son Feng Zhidai, the third son Feng Zhiyu, and the daughter Feng Yuzhi, and after arranging their clothes, they walked forward.

"My minister, Feng An, and Lingnan appeasement envoy Ning Changzhen, meet the crown prince."

After all, except for Feng Yuzhi, everyone else knelt down towards Yang Ming.

Yang Ming winked at Xuangan beside him, and the latter hurried up to help Feng An:
"I don't know what the Ministry of War is for. The general who was promised will go to Beijing in the next day. I didn't expect to come today. It can be seen that the news from the Ministry of War is unreliable."

The post station is under the management of the Ministry of War, and the reception is a matter for the Ministry of Rites. Yang Xuangan didn't go to greet him, so he must be pushed on the Ministry of War.

The ranking of the six departments in each dynasty is different. The order of the six departments in the Sui Dynasty is the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry.

Therefore, the Minister of Rites is a bit more powerful than the Minister of War, because the Ministry of War in the Sui Dynasty is a strange thing, and it can't control the military government.

Of course Feng An knew that Xuangan was delusional. If the Ministry of War could even have two days' error in such news, then Minister of the Ministry of War, Duan Wenzhen, could resign.

"I was about to ask Duke Chu for help to guide me into the palace," Feng An and Xuan Gan shook hands, and they seemed to be familiar with each other.

Xuangan smiled and said: "That's really unfortunate. Your Majesty suffered from a headache today, and the court meeting was not held. It is not appropriate to summon Mingda. How about it, you will come to the palace with me at the court meeting tomorrow morning, and you will have a rest in the city tonight. Night."

What else can Feng An say?Can only smile and nod.

Yang Ming finally spoke: "Who is the post officer at Chang'an post? The general and Duke Qin Jiang entered the city without notifying them? Are you tired of being so negligent?"

Yang Yue said with a chuckle, "I don't know either. You have to ask the Ministry of War. I'll ask Duan Wenzhen tomorrow morning."

Yang Ming nodded, and looked at Feng An: "The two of you, please come into the house for a briefing."

"I'm bothering Your Highness," Feng and Ning said with a bow.

It is noon now, and the food and drink have been prepared. In the front hall, after everyone was seated, Yang Ming first sent Wei Yunqi to invite Pei Ju and Wei Yue, and then looked at Ning Changzhen:

"Hui Zao, the eldest son of Prince Qinjiang, Gu loves him very much. I originally wanted him to stay in the capital for a few more days, but his heart seemed like an arrow, so Gu had no choice but to let him go."

Ning Changzhen's first impression of Yang Ming was that this kid is not simple, and his smile is very sincere. It is the kind of face that makes people think that this person is reliable, worthy of friendship, and even easy to be fooled at a glance, but Ning Chang understood from the bottom of his heart that this was because he had mastered his Qi-nourishing skills.

People, what kind of people do you like to deal with most?People who are not as smart as themselves, in layman's terms, are people who are stupider than me and can't fool me, so they deserve to be friends.

The more intelligent people are, the fewer friends they have. This is the reason.

The emperor's son, the crown prince of a country, even if Ning Chang is really conceited and talented, he has to admit that he is no more stupid than him.

Ning Changzhen smiled and said: "It's a great honor for the dog to receive His Royal Highness's kindness and courtesy. I am going to Beijing this time, and I want to thank His Highness for the kind hospitality to the dog."

After all, Ning Changzhen asked his entourage to bring up a big box, which contained three hundred catties of Guangxi specialty, Tian Qi.

That is, Chinese herbal medicine, which was a tribute in the Sui Dynasty. Lingnan would pay about [-] catties to the court every year. Ning Changzhen took out [-] catties at once, which is very generous.

Tianqi, also known as Panax notoginseng, ginseng No. [-] in nourishing qi, Notoginseng No. [-] in nourishing blood, the same taste but equal power, so it is called ginseng notoginseng, and it is the most precious of traditional Chinese medicine.

Three hundred catties of Tianqi can be said to be priceless.

Yang Ming smiled, and Xu Jing hurriedly called his servants to move the box Tian Qi away.

"Excellent etiquette," Yang Ming pointed to Yang Yue, and introduced to Ning Changzhen: "This is Yang Yue, the official of Xiuwu County, and that is Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Chu. Did General Feng meet in Liaodong?" It’s been a while, but Duke Qinjiang doesn’t know him yet, so we still need to get closer and closer in the future.”

Ning Changzhen hurriedly got up, bowed to the two of them and said: "I have admired your name for a long time, and seeing Ergong today is enough to comfort me for the rest of my life."

Yang Yue also got up and smiled, "For the country to guard the south of Lingnan, Qin Jiang is so kind. It's Yang Yue's luck to see you today."

Xuangan is not so hypocritical. After all, he is the Duke of the state, and he does not want to lose this position:
"Although I missed welcoming the two of you personally, it's still a secret to have a dog to guide the way. Yuan Qing, please offer me a cup of Qin Jianggong."

Yuan Qing, who was standing behind Yang Ming, was taken aback. I said, Dad, I'm so frightened, you dare to order me in front of the prince?
So Yang Yuanqing glanced at Yang Ming first, Yang Ming waved his hand, then he raised a glass of wine and walked towards Ning Changzhen.

Yang Ming doesn't care about such small details, loyalty and filial piety, although loyalty comes first, but you can't deprive others of their filial piety, Yang Yuexuan feels that it doesn't matter, only Yang Yuanqing, who is not deeply involved in the world, thinks it is inappropriate.

"I have heard about Da Lang's reputation for a long time, and I am a fierce general of the younger generation in the Sui Dynasty. Da Lang is the leader," Ning Changzhen said flatteringly.

When a junior comes to toast, people don't care, this is called being flexible, after all, you have to see where it is?
Any family in Guanzhong can punish him, let alone Hongnong Yang.

Yang Yuanqing said modestly: "My bravery is far worse than that of my third uncle."

The third uncle is Yang Xuan Ting. He didn't go to Liaodong, but he was a super fierce general who was one man and one man was the only one.

Yang Xuanting is now Yang Yue's heir, Yuan Qing's honest words make Yang Yue dumbfounded, your third uncle is brave and foolish.

Next, everyone casually chatted a few more words, that is, they asked Feng An what they had seen and heard along the way.

Gossip is essential in social situations, because from gossip, you can understand a person more clearly.

For example, Feng An said that he went north twice and was treated very differently, which is quite embarrassing. This shows that Feng An cares more about what others think of him, and he has self-respect, commonly known as shame.

But Ning Chang really didn't care, he only said that Luoyang and the capital city are high and deep, the northern country is rich and prosperous, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, the canals are magnificent and accessible, and the business is prosperous, which shows that people's attention is on the situation of the whole country. is ambitious.

Half an hour later, Wei Yunqi invited Pei Ju and Wei Yue over.

These two people have a relationship with Lingnan, the difference is that one is directly related and the other is indirectly.

After the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the first person who was sent to Fu Lingnan was the second son of Wei, that is, Wei Wei. Wei Wei and Mrs. Xian had friendship, so the relationship with the Feng family was also very good, and Wei Wei was a real In fact, I have dealt with Ning Changzhen.

But Pei Ju didn't.

If it is said that Wei Wei just reached a deal with Mrs. Xian to make Lingnan belong to him, then Pei Ju completely suppressed Lingnan, divided Lingnan into more than [-] prefectures, and included it in the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

He was also transferred to the Ministry of Internal History by Yang Jian after returning to the capital from Lingnan, thus becoming a close minister of the emperor.

Because when Pei Ju went to Lingnan, Yang Su led the army to suppress the rebellion of Gao Zhizhi and Wang Wenjin in the south of the Yangtze River. Pei Ju suspected that Ning Changzhen was behind the rebellion of these two people, so he did not go to see each other in Lingnan. I don't want to pierce the window paper, just pretend I don't know.

Politics is like this. For the sake of the overall situation, you have to pretend to be confused when you should pretend to be confused.

Ning Changzhen was very afraid of Pei Ju, because he knew that this person was very powerful. After being recommended by Yang Ming, he hurriedly got up, and said with a look of resentment:
"Pei Gong's name is well known to all women and children in Lingnan. I never saw him back then, and it is often cited as a regret in my life."

Pei Ju walked forward with a smile, held the other's hand and said, "It's all because I didn't go on the road back then, I missed it."

As for Wei Yue, it is Wei Lao Liu, Wei Wei's sixth younger brother, who is here to see an old friend on behalf of the deceased Wei Wei.

This is the rule of Da Sui. I know your brother well, so I have to see you when I come to your house. Because of the inconvenient transportation, I don’t agree to come here. Anyone who can see me will find a way to see you.

In fact, in later generations, there is also this habit. For example, if a comrade-in-arms of yours was from Xi’an, but passed away, then if I pass by here, I will find a way to meet his family.

This phenomenon occurs when the relationship is too strong.

But the real relationship between Wei Wei and Ning Chang is not strong at all. They deal with the old Feng family and Mrs. Xian.

And Wei Yue is very familiar with Lingnan, which is called knowledge monopoly. Wei Wei has fought Lingnan, so there is an archive of Lingnan's situation, which will be kept in the family and will not be shown to others.

The same is true for Pei Ju, who is more familiar with Lingnan.

As soon as the two of them arrived, the atmosphere in the hall instantly warmed up, everyone present was a fine person, and the kindness they treated Feng and Ning each of them seemed to be real.

Feng An and Ning Changzhen were also very relaxed, chatting and laughing with everyone.

Anyway, everyone didn't say anything about Ning Changzhen's raising of troops. It's still the same sentence, this layer of window paper, whoever stabs it is embarrassing.

"Go back to the palace first, you don't need to worry about things here," Yang Ming turned slightly to the side, and whispered to Feng Yuzhi.

Feng Yuzhi started to complain: "Pei Xingyan belongs to the East Palace, right?"

"En? What's wrong?" Yang Ming asked.

So Feng Yuzhi told the story of Pei Xingyan and Su Kui blocking the way and making trouble:
"I'm not asking you to deal with them, you have to warn me? I'm yours after all, and they don't take me seriously."

Standing behind Yang Ming, Pei Shuang frowned subconsciously. I said, Brother Clan, you are too careless, how can you still leave your name?
Yang Ming smiled: "I see, you go back first."

Feng Yuzhi just nodded, and after saying goodbye to his father and Ning Changzhen, he went back to the palace first.

Will Yang Ming deal with Pei Xingyan and Su Kui?No, the two of them are not the only ones making trouble. Didn't Yuan Qing also make trouble in the first place?It's just that he was caught by Feng Yuzhi, and Yuan Qing was young and easy to talk, so Feng Yuzhi used it as a shield.

This kind of thing was originally acquiesced by the emperor, so it can't be taken seriously.

Knowing that Feng and Ning had come to Qin Wangfu, Yang Hao also came uninvited.

As soon as he walked in, everyone knew immediately that something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, Yang Hao first saluted Yang Ming with a playful smile, and then asked directly:

"Which one is Ning Changzhen?"

Originally, the room was full of old foxes, but finally a stunned young man came in.
