Emperor Sui Yang

Yang Ming can adjust the defense of less than 5000 people, but if more than 5000 people, he does not have this right.

The prince could not have this right, because the emperor was also worried that the prince was too anxious and would replace him.

Many emperors in history worked hard in the early stage to govern, but in the later stage they were greedy for enjoyment. In the process of enjoying, the most fearful thing is that someone will take away their enjoyment, then traitors will be born in time, because the emperor needs traitors to protect his rights.

Traitor ministers are generally lonely ministers, and Yu Wenshu is playing this role now. He is helping the emperor keep an eye on Yang Ming. Although he does not know it himself, Yang Guang, Yang Ming and his son know it in their hearts.

No matter how urgent the military situation was, Yang Guang still had to nod. What's more, this time the Eastern and Western Turks were fighting, and it wasn't too urgent. After all, they didn't fight Da Sui, but it was definitely a big deal.

"Your Majesty is in Jiangdu. It will take two months to come and go. Two months is enough time to clean up Xue Yantuo," Wei Xuan said at the court meeting. Intervene.

But Yang Ming couldn't, he could offend anyone, but not his father.

It is true that Yang Guang only had two legitimate sons, but he had several concubines. In the history before the Sui Dynasty, there were no concubines who became emperors. The Tang Dynasty that followed was even more dangerous. In the middle and early stages, none of the six princes successfully succeeded to the throne. of.

Yang Ming didn't dare to take this risk, as it was a matter of great importance to foreign military affairs, he could not make his own claims.

You think you should persuade him, but Yang Guang may not think so.

"It's a very important matter, let's wait for His Majesty's order." Yang Yue was a smart person and took the initiative to help Yang Ming block it.

Hu Sizheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, said: "It is reported that the main force of the Western Turkic Shekuang is now heading east, at least one month's journey away from Xue Yantuo's Ministry. Expansion to the west, with a superior force of 30, intends to crush Xue Yantuo in one fell swoop."

"But Xue Yantuo may not be able to stop it," Wei Xuan said in a deep voice, "The Royal Court of Shekui is located on Sanmi Mountain. There should be many soldiers and horses there, who can support Xue Yantuo in time. Gao Changguo and Xue Yantuo will also send troops to help. Yue should be fine, but when the main force of She Kui arrives, it is still unknown what the outcome will be."

Yang Xuangan said: "Then the variable is us. Whoever we send troops to help at that time will have a better chance of winning."

Yang Yue snorted coldly, and said coldly, "Are you sending troops? Where did you get them? Jiangdu has 15, Dongdu has 15, and Guanzhong is less than 20 at the moment, but how many can be recruited? Fifty thousand Whether there is one is unknown."

Really not, the military salary owed has not been paid, it is not easy to recruit, Guanzhong is the land of Longxing, you can't all go to 20 people, can you?Can I go half way?No, the logistics of food and grass cannot be guaranteed.

Today's Guanzhong is still living on the grain brought in from Luoyang, and the four major warehouses in Luoyang don't have much surplus grain now, and half of the debt has been repaid. Yang Guang spent half of his tour in Jiangdu. Recently, it is said that the river is still dredging. The canal between the two will have to be allocated next year.

Where is the money?
A large-scale war must rely on several years or even more than ten years of accumulation before it can be launched. The construction of Luoyang, the construction of the canal, and an expedition to Goguryeo have wiped out Yang Jian's family fortune that has been accumulated for more than 20 years.

Therefore, in this conflict between East and West Turks, the Great Sui could only verbally intervene and not send troops to help. Once defeated, it would not only cause heavy damage to the military, but also to the country.

Yang Xuangan had never led a soldier before, and Yang Su didn't study hard when he was teaching him, so he didn't understand, but Yang Yue knew it very well.

"The national treasury is empty and there is no force to send troops," Cui Zhongfang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs said: "It is best to send envoys to persuade both sides to stop fighting."

Yu Wenshu shook his head and said: "In fact, it is best to let it go for the time being. Both sides are wolf ambitions. They consume each other, which is beneficial to our border, but the Western Regions trade routes will inevitably be affected. This year's tariffs must not be much."

He was in collusion with Shi Bi, so naturally he wanted to help Shi Bi speak up. This conflict was started by Shi Bi. They definitely didn't want Da Sui to intervene. If Shi Bi dared to fight, he must be fully prepared.

"That's not necessarily the case," Lu Chu said, "The commercial roads in the Hexi Corridor are protected by all countries. Even if there is a war, no one will rob the caravan. Drain the pond and fish."

Yang Yue agreed: "On this trade route, everyone is making money, and no one will take the initiative to cut off this road of wealth. I, the Sui Dynasty, export goods to the west, and the Western Regions cannot ask for them. Let alone rob them, they even have to send troops to protect them."

Yang Ming nodded, and said in a deep voice: "So right now, let's wait and see what happens. Our attitude towards Eastern and Western Turks is not to allow one of them to take the lead. In the current situation, both sides are in the early stages of testing, and the real war has not yet begun. It's hard to judge who is strong and who is weak when we start a fight."

"Sibi's military deployment this time, in the final analysis, I still don't want Xue Yantuo to belong to Shekui," Wei Xuan said: "After all, Xue Yantuo's tribe is sandwiched between the Eastern and Western Turks, which is a buffer zone. It is not what the other side wants to see if it belongs to either side."

Nominally, no matter the Eastern and Western Turks or the Western Regions, they all surrendered to the Sui Dynasty.

In history, Comrade Yang Guang did not succeed in inheriting the title of Yang Jian Sage Khan, but in this life, because of the destruction of Tuyuhun and Goguryeo, Shibi entered Jiangdu in a humble manner, so now all countries must recognize Yang Guang Sage Khan status.

It means that Yang Guang is the master of the world. From below the sky to above the earth, under the sun and the moon, there is only the saint Khan.

Yang Ming looked at Lu Chu and asked, "Sibi, what did you say in front of His Majesty in Jiangdu? Have you delivered the daily life note from the Ministry of Internal History?"

Lu Chu shook his head: "The living note has always been kept by the householders in the province. In the hands of Yu Shinan, it has not been sent to the capital for preparation."

The ancient rulers recorded events on the left and history on the right, so they guarded against mistakes and showed them to the queen.

Only Yu Shinan was responsible for compiling the Daily Notes during the Sui Dynasty. This thing cannot be passed on to the outside world, only the prince can read it, because one of the functions of the Daily Notes is called "showing the queen". As the successor, Yang Ming has to read it if he doesn't want to. Because he has to study, but after reading it, he cannot pass it on.

Historically, very few of the Emperor's Daily Notes have been handed down. Even if they have been handed down, those are the parts you can see.

What you are not allowed to see is called the truth.

So history has always been covered with a veil.

Yang Yuedao: "Your Highness thinks that Shibi's going south to Jiangdu has already hinted at something?" "It's possible," Yang Ming nodded and said, "Over there in Jiangdu, maybe Your Majesty has already seen the truth clearly, and Shibi's humbleness is unexpected. , it is very likely that it is to please us and prevent us from intervening, or intervening is also helping him."

Yu Wenshu hurriedly said: "East Turks are indeed closer to us and more obedient. So far, they have not met my Majesty. On the contrary, the tributes have been decreasing year by year. We know that West Turks are not reliable."

"Foreigners are unreliable, Mr. Xu still needs to figure it out," Yang Yue said with a smile.

Yu Wenshu laughed, and said: "If you make a slip of the tongue, don't criticize me."

When the two were young, their relationship was very strong.

Yang Xuangan said: "You should order Yang Xuanting, the governor of Anxi, to send scouts to monitor the border. Gaochang has me and my princess, and we have the responsibility to protect."

"The Ministry of War should issue a message, let Fan Zigai and Yang Xuanting keep an eye on it." Yang Ming slowly got up, and suddenly thought of something, sat down again and said, "I want to win love and benevolence, what do you think?"

Yu Wenshu agreed and said: "Yang Gongren lives in the two chief officials of the Introspection and Yezhetai in the palace, which is in line with Duoqing."

Yang Lun frowned and said: "It still depends on Gongren's own opinion. There are no major affairs in the country right now, and it's not enough to show filial piety and loyalty. Hongnong is not far from the capital. If there are important matters entrusted, it will not be too late to win."

"I also think this is appropriate," Yang Yue agreed.

Yang Ming nodded: "Then let's do this."

On the other side of Luoyang, Zhao Guogong Duguzhuan entered Beijing.

Why did he come?The girl is about to give birth, Dugu Feng'er was twin years ago, now it is approaching September, and the delivery is imminent.

After the Dugu family defeated Dugu Jialuo, they were finally able to give birth to the blood of the Yang family again. Dugu Zhuan took it seriously, and the court also took it seriously to welcome him.

After all, he is the Duke of the State, the head of the Dugu Patriarch, or a foreign relative, Yin of the Eastern Capital, and rarely goes to Beijing, so the Ministry of Rites will welcome him very grandly.

The Dugu family, which was originally a mess, is now getting closer together because of Dugu Fenger's relationship. In addition, Dugu Zhuan does have the means and money to keep wooing other families. The current position of the head of the family is relatively secure.

But there are still disadvantages. He is stable, but what if he dies?

So this time, he brought his eldest son, Dugu Yin, the current Luoyang county magistrate, the same Luoyang as before.

In Dugu Feng'er's dormitory, Chen Shuyi was helping Feng'er to walk, walking more before giving birth was for a better birth, women were most afraid of giving birth to a bad baby.

Some people urinate as hard as they can, or even fart, and the baby will come out, while some people can't give birth even if they try their best to breastfeed.

Dugu Zuan and the eldest son are also here.

"How old is Gensheng this year?" Yang Ming asked.

Gensheng is Dugu Yin's nickname, there is no way, because he was too poor when he was a child, so the nickname was somewhat perfunctory.

Dugu Yin replied: "Your Highness, I'm 39 this year."

"That's not small," Yang Ming nodded, "Where do you want to go?"

They are all their own people, so you can be straightforward.

Dugu Zuan hurriedly said: "Gen Sheng used to be the magistrate of Henan County, but now he is the magistrate of Luoyang County. He is the eldest son of the minister. I still hope that he can go to the three provinces to practice."

This conversation between them is like a poor relative coming to the city and asking for arrangements through the back door.

Although this relative is not poor.

Yang Ming smiled and was about to answer when suddenly, Chen Shuyi screamed from behind, and everyone turned their heads quickly.

I saw Dugu Feng'er clutching her stomach, the sweat on her face was dripping like she had just washed her face, and she said with a frightened expression:

"I'm about to give birth, quickly call the midwife."

Yang Ming and the others were shocked, and hurried out, and the doctor and midwife who had been waiting outside quickly entered the hall.

In less than 5 minutes, the child's cry came out.

"Dragon son and grandson."

Hearing the words, Dugu Zhuan and his son hurriedly knelt down, and Yang Ming sighed inwardly: What the hell is a son.
