Emperor Sui Yang

In Luoyang, Yang Guang, who has lived in Dongdu for three months, is about to go south to Jiangdu.

Originally, he didn't plan to stay for such a long time, but he was discussing with the courtiers, hoping that the Eastern Turks would come to Luoyang to see him after the end.

Su Wei and the others were persuading them at the beginning, after all, the current national strength is difficult, and if they can't make excuses, the emperor may want to use force again because of the emperor's piss.

But the actual situation is that the expedition to Goguryeo had to compete for full success, which made the generals in the military government swell. They felt that although the country consumed unprecedented consumption last year, they could still provide an elite army of 30 to form an effective deterrent to the East Turks. If Shibi really dare not come, then the Sui cavalry will go to the Turkic Yazhang for a tour.

Therefore, the court was divided into the dove faction and the hawk faction. The hawk faction was led by Zhongwen, Duan Da, and Zhang Jin, including Tu Wanxu and other generals who participated in the Goguryeo battle, as well as the Chuluo Khan of the Western Turks.

Chu Luo himself has been mixed up to this point, and the gap in his heart is huge. He is almost sure that the East Turkic side has been laughing at him, and his heart will be balanced if Da Sui also wiped out the beginning.

Therefore, Chu Luo thought that there was no need to summon Shibi, and directly sent a large army to attack the Eastern Turks, and beat them to the ground in one fell swoop.

There have always been only two northern frontier troubles in the Sui Dynasty, East Turks and Goguryeo. Now Goguryeo has been destroyed, so East Turks will naturally appear in everyone's sight. Su Wei and the others are not at ease, but they didn't think Excessive force.

It's a pity that today's dove faction is somewhat lonely in the Luoyang court.

Because after the war, the military's power increased dramatically, which was an inevitable result, and the Sui Dynasty had always been independent of civil and military, so Yu Zhongwen's words carried a lot of weight.

But Yang Guang is also a hawk, he can't sit still, and wants to provoke trouble when he has nothing to do.

After a long debate, Shibi Khan summoned Shibi to the Eastern Capital for an audience, and it was almost decided. As a result, on the Turkic side, Shibi Khan took the initiative to send a mission to Luoyang with generous gifts, thanking Yang Guang for coming.

Thanks for what?Thank you for giving my son a loving princess.

Yang Guang didn't know about it at all.

"Is there no news from the capital?" Yang Guang asked in a deep voice at the court meeting.

Yang Da under the door nodded and said: "According to the days, the prince's reply should be almost here. I think that the prince's approach is actually safe."

"It's a little too safe. The current situation is indeed inappropriate to start a war, but how can I, the Sui Dynasty, please the Turks?" Yu Zhongwen complained: "I have no intention of being dissatisfied with the prince's actions, but I just think it is unnecessary."

Su Wei and the others were overjoyed when they learned about this a few days ago. They, who have lived in the Shangshu Province for a long time and manage the counties and counties in the world, know the current situation of the country best. They have no money and no food. Stomach resentment, Lingnan has not yet settled down, just hit Goguryeo, the country owes a big debt, the expedition Goguryeo promised soldiers The military salary has not been paid yet, how to fight?
Pei Ju felt that Yang Ming's move could be described as a stroke of genius, which directly resolved the emperor's intentions towards the Eastern Turks. Knowing his father is like a son, how could he think that His Majesty would make the decision from the beginning to the end?

The military must be a little discouraged. After all, they don’t reach out to hit people with smiling faces. Shibi’s attitude this time is humble enough, and the gifts are heavy. According to the emperor’s character, if you respect me so much, I will recognize you as a courtier.

However, Yang Guang knew very well in his heart that he started the matter himself, which means that the firewood was lit and the pot was set up, so he couldn't put rice in it, and the one who stopped the rice was his own son.

If he changed his original intention now, he would appear to be a little indecisive, which is not good, so he said: "The Turkic missions have not left yet, tell them that I want to go to Jiangdu, so Shibi will come to Jiangdu to see me."

Su Wei, Pei Ju, and Niu Hong have big heads, and Shibi has already shown the attitude of surrender. If you force it like this, accidents will happen. After all, Shibi is not Qimin.

Qimin has a very close relationship with Da Sui, and has lived in Shanxi for a long time, so he has feelings for Da Sui, so he is willing to come, but the beginning and the end are enough.

Su Wei hurriedly said: "To be on the safe side, we still need to send someone to deliver a letter to Princess Yicheng first, and ask her to help persuade Shibi. If Shibi doesn't come, our Sui country's prestige will be damaged."

"Your method is simply ridiculous," Yu Zhongwen said: "Why do you want to speak nicely to them? He comes, this is the etiquette that a courtier should have, if he doesn't come, I will go."

In the past, Yu Zhongwen would not talk to Su Wei like this, but he is not the main force in defeating Goguryeo.

This is very normal, you have always been No.1 in the class, I am No.6, but you passed the 211 exam, I will go directly to Tsinghua University, can you not drift?

Pei Ju frowned and said, "Have you finished paying the military salaries of the soldiers under your command? Why are you so rude? Don't forget that the imperial court still owes the military salaries to the soldiers. The old debts have not been repaid, and new debts will arise. I say Ciwu, why don't you go?" Be a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for a few days, look at the pile of accounts of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and see if you can still say what you said today."

Zhang Jin smoothed things over and said: "Pei Gong misunderstood. The military government knows that the treasury is in trouble, but they can't let foreigners disrespect because of the difficulties. Do you think this is the truth?"

"Which eye of yours has seen that foreigners are disrespectful?" Niu Hong snorted coldly: "This time, I have sent two thousand high-quality horses and two hundred catties of gold. Is this disrespect? My Central Plains has always been a state of etiquette." , the country is disrespectful and can be attacked, but if it is respectful, it is not a teacher of benevolence and righteousness."

"Okay, okay, stop arguing," Yang Guang raised his hand to interrupt the debate:
"Princess Yicheng's greeting is really unnecessary. If Shi Shi is loyal to me and no one persuades him, he will come. He will deliver the decree to Dugu and prepare the boat. After ten days, I will patrol Jiangdu."

Su Wei and the others looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. Right now, it depends on luck. Whether they come or not will directly determine whether there will be any major turmoil in Da Sui's future.

The Yuwen scholars are already on their way back. This time they are sent to Turkic as an envoy, and they have been treated very courteously, and they are all just supporting them.

But Zhao Deyan told him in private that Shibi has been annexing the large and small tribes around the East Turks, and his territory is constantly expanding, and he has extended his hand to the West Turks.

According to Zhao Deyan's judgment, Shibi is very likely to want to conquer the Western Turks, and he does have this ability right now. If Shibi succeeds in the future, the north of the Sui Dynasty will usher in an unprecedented catastrophe.

This is a very serious matter, but Yuwen Shiji dare not say it, because his news channel is not well-known.

Shibi even asked him to bring a message to his father Yu Wenshu to reassure Yuwenshu that Shibi would not sell them, but Yuwenshu wanted to speak well of himself in front of the emperor.

Yuwen Shiji is not an idiot either, he guessed this good word, it should be when the Eastern Turks used troops against the Western Turks, because at that time, the imperial court would definitely intervene to prevent the beginning and end of the war, and when the time comes, the old man will have to help Court circles.

This shit, one wrong step, one wrong step, now tied to the same boat as Shibi, he can't agree to it.

Yu Wenshi was full of preoccupations, but the others were very relaxed. After all, the errands assigned to them by the crown prince had been successfully completed, and the journey home was always a joy.

As for the capital, this year's palace examination is about to begin.

Originally, Jinshi did not focus on poetry, but isn't the current emperor fond of poetry?Therefore, this subject has relatively high requirements for poetry and prose, so the examiner must also be an expert in this field.

Led by Xue Daoheng, the great Confucian Wang Tong, Guozijian Jijiu Ming Yuqing, He Tuo, Wang Gui who was arranged by Yang Ming as a secretary of the province, the secretary of the provincial book Lang Jiangyi, Jiang Yu brothers, the 34th generation grandson of Confucius Kong Deshao, etc. , a total of 24 people.

These 24 people are recognized as talented poets.

Before the Great Sui Dynasty, to be precise, before Yang Guang, the poems and fus of the entire Southern and Northern Dynasties were mainly palace-style poems. He is also a master in this field, such as his "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night".

However, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he began to transform and started the bold and unconstrained style, which can be regarded as a reversal of the decadent atmosphere of the entire Northern and Southern Dynasties. The style of poetry is bold and unrestrained, and the momentum is magnificent.

Yang Guang is really talented. Although it is hard to imagine that such a literary emperor who loves literature is actually one of the top three tyrants in China, it cannot be denied that he is indeed a master of poetry and prose.

Historically, the most handed down poems of the Sui Dynasty were Shangshu Lingjiang in the old Chen period, one of the representative poets of court-style erotic poetry. It can be seen that the Chen Dynasty emphasized prose when it shouldn't, which led to the weakness of the country.

Mr. Jiang is the biological father of Lang Jiangyi and Jiang Yu brothers who are currently the secretary of the province.

No. 2 is Comrade Yang Guang. Once he changed his current style of poetry to bold and unrestrained style, if you want to become an official with Jinshi, your poetry and prose must also go in this direction.

As the saying goes, what is good at the top must be bad at the bottom, this is the truth.

But Yang Guang claimed to be the number one in the Sui Dynasty, which is a bit smug to be true. Although Li Delin, Lu Sidao, and President Jiang, these three people are dead, their level is completely above Yang Guang. It is not appropriate for you to call yourself the number one in the Sui Dynasty. , because there is also Xue Daoheng, and even Yu Shinan.

Whose path did Yang Guang's literature follow?During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Xin, the literary master known as the "prosperity of the poor and the north and the south", is also known as the current generation of Wenzong Xu Ling.

As for Yang Ming's literary accomplishments, they were all learned by later generations. Based on what he learned in the Sui Dynasty, he is actually a half-baked person. Compared with his father, he is illiterate. Of course, this excludes what later generations learned. case.

As for Yang Ming, he was embarrassed to copy poems to pretend to be forceful, because it did not conform to his literary skills. Moreover, the prosperity of poetry originated in Tang and Song Dynasties. Now he uses other people's poems, and you still let them live up?Li Bai and Du Fu are not born yet, but they will definitely be born.

Yang Ming hoped that they could lead the literary world of the Sui Dynasty and bloom the flowers of literature.

Therefore, he had to ask Xue Daoheng to assist him in the final examination of Jinshi.

Yang Ming can tell the good from the bad, but it's not that easy to compare the good and the bad without the good reviews. (end of this chapter)
