Emperor Sui Yang

"People are in good spirits on happy occasions, so you should drink a few more glasses when it's finished," Yang Ming hosted a banquet for everyone in the Cheng'en Hall of the Eastern Palace.

Jian Jian is going to leave soon, he is the guest servant of the Ministry of Rites, it will be the same with him or without him.

It stands to reason that this official position is not small, but the Sui Dynasty is such a stall. With Comrade Yang Guang traveling abroad all the year round, there are not many times when the yamen of the Imperial City are well-organized. On weekdays, I wear several hats, which is quite chaotic.

Jiancheng smiled and said: "The people of the world are able to have what they are today, thanks to His Highness' support. If he dares to forget his roots in the future, I will be the first to punish him."

Can you deal with it?Seeing your benevolence, Yang Ming smiled and said:

"Shimin is almost an adult, you may not be able to manage others in the future."

"Impossible," Jian Jiancheng was already drunk, and said with a smile, "I am the elder brother, and Shimin is ten years older. He is still afraid of me."

I hope, in Yang Ming's heart, he is actually closer to Jiancheng. The other party's character is a trustworthy person, who doesn't have much scheming, and he has known him since he was a teenager, so the relationship is very good.

As for Shimin, he was not born to be inferior to others. Yang Ming even considered that before he died, he must kill Shimin so that the other party would not harm Yang Rui.

In the whole world, no one knows Li Shimin's ability better than himself.

Su Lie and the others are also ready. The seventeen martial arts practitioners who came up this year will follow Su Lie. Apart from those well-known figures in history, there are some who will also go to them because of various reasons. The reputation is not necessarily worse than those people.

One of them, Wang Jing, a young man from a side branch of the Wang family in Langya, is very unusual. He is not only capable of fighting, but also very resourceful. This person.

"Joining an official with a scientific examination is just the beginning. Now that the country uses soldiers, it is a good opportunity for you to make contributions," Yang Ming said to the crowd, raising his glass:
"You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to take one step at a time. You are all selected alone. You have gone to Mai Tiezhang's command. Don't embarrass the orphan, lest people say that the prince's election this year is useless."

Cheng Yaojin raised his glass and stood up and said: "Prince, don't worry, I will only fight to the death, and will never retreat."

Others also joined in.

If they go down, they will not be given much military posts. Yang Ming has already written to Mai Tiezhang in advance, let him arrange. This is for the country to train talents, not for Yang Ming to train confidants, so Mai Tiezhang will be appointed according to the situation. Those who are really unusable can just throw it aside.

After all, it is about physical strength, and the test is about martial arts, not art of war. Among these people, those who have read military books are rare.

But as long as they can make meritorious service, they will have the opportunity to read military books in the future, because the Sui army also has a place for generals to study, the Ministry of War.

In the Ministry of War, he works as the Fang Division. This division is in charge of maps, city gods, towns, forts, battlements, and conquests and defenses. Generals with potential will be selected and trained.

What does this potential mean?Their own technology is excellent, and the background is also excellent.

It is impossible for you to study further without a background.

However, since the establishment of the staff training department, none of the famous generals has been trained here.

The real combat experience is summed up by battle after battle, and those who have experience will not pass it on easily.

If Li Jing wasn't Yang Su's protégé and Han Qinhu's nephew, he wouldn't know about soldiers. Learning from these two people is much better than going to the Ministry of War for training.

And these famous historical generals sitting in front of Yang Ming now all have experience in fighting one game after another. When they were just starting out, they were also little ones.

At the banquet, Yuchi Jingde was a little unconvinced. Although he has a relatively high official position now, he didn't make a name for himself during the scientific examination, and he was far inferior to Shan Xiongxin, who had the highest qualifications.

Among them, whoever is the most famous will have a better road in the future. This is for sure, after all, everyone has similar backgrounds.

He has a relative named Yang Yichen, and Shan Xiongxin has a benefactor named Zhang Xutuo.

A warrior, vulgar, he asked Yang Ming directly at the banquet to allow him to have a fight with Shan Xiongzhi.

What a coincidence, Yang Ming also wanted to know who was the best of the two.

So a banquet competition started like this.

Shan Xiongxin carried it for a long time, but he was still defeated. On the contrary, Cheng Yaojin, who ended up with itchy hands, had a close fight with Yuchi Jingde.

Yang Yuanqing, who was standing behind Yang Ming, also felt itchy and begged Yang Ming to let him go.

"The three of you go up together," Yuan Qing was so domineering.

Yuchi Jingde couldn't bear this insult, so he stabbed straight away.

Warriors like to compete for the first place. If Yang Yinjiang hadn't stopped him, Yang Yuanqing would have wanted to unseat his uncle Xuanting to prove that he was the best in the capital.

The result is definitely not three together, after all, everyone wants to lose face, so they lost to Yang Yuanqing one by one.

Han Shi'e and Li Mi have been cheering for Yuan Qing, and after winning, they even praised Yuan Qing to the sky, making the other people quite embarrassed.

This kid has really tough hands, what did he eat to grow up?

Pei Xingyan couldn't bear it any longer, and ended up fighting with Yuan Qing, but Su Lie didn't have the urge. He knew that he couldn't do these two things by force alone. After all, he didn't eat well when he was a child, and his body was weak. .

I was eating bran-swallowed vegetables, which is no better than other people's bone-boiled soup, which is full of fish and meat.

Not surprisingly, Pei Xingyan was also defeated, and sat down cursingly, muttering about the lack of exercise recently and being out of shape.

"Gu Cong selected the best armor and weapons for you from his own treasury. Come and carry them up." Yang Ming raised his arm, and a group of guards brought up a pair of lacquered armor and weapons. .

First of all, this is a batch of armor with the best craftsmanship in the Hedong refinery, and moreover, it has been painted for you.

However, most of them are bronze in color, and the painted parts are different, so each pair of armor looks very different.

Shan Xiongxin and the others, where have they seen this before?All eyes are straight.

Generals, there are no horses and armor weapons that they covet the most. If there are, they can only be women.

The next thing is to try it on. The armors are all of the same standard, but there are gaps for modification at the joints, and the fit can be modified according to each person's body shape.

In the main hall, everyone had happy smiles on their faces, commenting on each other's armor one after another, as if receiving a year-end award.

During this period, Yang Ming hooked his fingers at one of them, and the latter hurried forward and squatted in front of Yang Ming.

"What's your relationship with Xuan Prize?" Yang Ming asked in a low voice.

It was obviously a whisper, so the officials of the East Palace didn't dare to listen, instead they amplified their volume to discuss with other people, so as to cover the prince's voice.

Zhu Can hurriedly replied: "You dare not hide your Highness, the minister's official position in Qiao County was bought, and he bought it from the Duke of Qinghe County."

This is not uncommon, as an official, if you don’t spend money, you will choose from the local Haoheng family. In fact, it is similar to Lingnan’s prison policy, which is to rule the local people by the local people.

Where is Qiao County? It is the area of ​​Bozhou, Anhui, which borders Shangqiu City, Henan.

This man is honest, he doesn't look like an ogre king at all, Yang Ming said with a smile:

"Lead your troops well and don't let Gu down."

After finishing speaking, Yang Ming waved his hand, and the latter hurriedly retreated.

So if any of these people in front of them made some mistakes in the future, those who could raise their hands in Yang Ming's place would raise their hands, but Zhu Can couldn't. If this person dared to mess around, he would be killed immediately.

After the banquet, Yang Ming went directly to Gao Yue's place.

Lying in the other's soft embrace, Yang Ming felt his whole body and mind relax at once, allowing Gao Yue's palm to stroke his face and neck back and forth.

Yang Ming couldn't see what Lingnan's changes would look like this time. After all, there was no rebellion in Lingnan in history.

I am not a god-man, and I can't understand everything.

"National affairs are heavy. Since Your Highness is here as a concubine, don't think about those things anymore," Gao Yue looked down at Yang Ming, who was frowning, feeling distressed. Her only relative now was Yang Ming.

Yang Ming sighed, his eyebrows gradually stretched, he opened his eyes and said:
"When I think of the day when you and I will part ways, it is depressing."

Gao Yue smiled, and stroked Yang Ming's forehead: "I can accompany Your Highness for at least another ten years. After ten years, I will be an old woman. At that time, Your Highness wants to see me, and I don't want to see Your Highness anymore."

"It's natural to look old and youthful, and I won't despise you," Yang Ming said.

Gao Yue said with a smile: "It's me who despises me. When the flowers and willows are broken, I can dedicate the remaining goodness of myself to Your Highness. Gao Yue has no regrets in this life."

Yang Ming raised his hand to caress the frown at the corner of each other's eyes, and said: "Flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again. When we meet, we must be drunk. Why must we be drunk? You can't leave. You are my consolation medicine."

Gao Yue cried, and the tears fell drop by drop on Yang Ming's face.

This year, she is 43 years old. Next, she will gradually age, her skin will loosen and wrinkle, and her appearance will never be the same again. She wants to accompany Yang Ming for a longer time, but she does not want to face Yang Ming with gray hair .

"Your poem just now is really good, can you write another one for me?" Gao Yue choked up.

Yang Ming didn't pretend to think, and said lightly: "I was born before you were born, and you are already old when I was born. You hate me for being late, but I hate you for being born early."

Gao Yue was shocked and completely collapsed.

That night, Yang Ming's body was bruised and purple, and there were a bunch of teeth marks, but he told Gao Yue to keep it a secret, and not to spread these two poems, and Gao Yue agreed with a murmur. (end of this chapter)
