Emperor Sui Yang

Below the city gate, Changsun Wuji, who had arrived, could only kneel here with his mother.

It's a pity that Changsun Xingbu and his brothers don't accept this sentiment. Instead, they feel that mother and son are just putting on a show to show that they are benevolent and righteous and that we are nothing.

Pei Shuying got off the carriage with her son Yang Jin and walked through the snow to the bottom of the city gate. After looking around at the crowd, she slowly extended her hand to Mrs. Gao.

Hey~~You must accept this hand, otherwise it will be shameless and disrespectful.

Gao quickly raised her hands, held Pei Shuying, and slowly got up:
"I am guilty of blocking the nobleman's carriage."

Yang Jin also went up and helped Changsun Wuji up.

Pei Shuying retracted her hands into her sleeves, pondered for a moment, and said:

"I don't want to interfere with your affairs, and I shouldn't, but since we've collided, I can't let the carriage run you over. I've also heard about your affairs, so I'll give you a piece of advice. You and Wuji can't change it. anything."

After saying that, Pei Shuying turned around, took her son's hand, and returned to the carriage.

Mrs. Gao quickly took her son and retreated aside.

At this time, Yang Jin stopped suddenly, and said to his aunt, "Aniang, take them into the palace, it's cold, don't freeze."

Pei Shuying did not say a word, but took her son's hand and boarded the carriage, slowly driving into the city gate.

On the carriage, Pei Shuying said indifferently: "Wuji is Yinghui's companion, Yinghui will naturally come and bring people into the palace, so you don't have to do anything unnecessary."

"I'm also very familiar with Wuji," Yang Jin said in a daze, "It's the same when I bring him into the palace."

"It's not the same," Pei Shuying said, "it can only be Yinghui who helps their mother and child, not you. There are some things that you can't do instead of your brother. Although it's kind, it's not appropriate. Remember that , I will discuss everything with Ying Hui first before you do it, don’t make your own decisions."

Yang Jin nodded.

Pei Shuying was also helpless. She had no choice. Royal brothers were most likely to have rifts. Although Yang Rui and Yang Jin had the best relationship among the brothers, the bad thing was that they were not born to the same mother.

And the grandfathers of the two are fierce people, and the family is also a top family.

During Yang Jian's period, Dugu Jialuo, a queen from the Xianbei tribe, deliberately strengthened the distinction between concubines and concubines, so that each concubine in the royal family was worse off than the other. But now, no one dares not to take Yang Jin seriously.

First of all, it must be attributed to her husband Yang Ming, who treats his children without distinction as legitimate concubines. Furthermore, Yang Jin has a Hedong Pei family behind him.

Because of this, Pei Shuying needs to be careful at all times. She was not such a character before, but now that she is in the center of the whirlpool, she cannot help but change.

Changsun Wuji belongs to Yang Rui. If his son goes to help, he is acting on his behalf, because it is obvious that Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin are the right-hand men arranged by his husband for Yang Rui. His son cannot show favor to these two people.

Yang Rui doesn't care now, but he may not care when he grows up.

Someone will inherit the throne in the future, and it is taboo for you to be too close to someone close to them.

Sure enough, not long after Pei Shuying entered the palace, Yang Rui came and brought Gao's mother and son into the palace.

"Well, you just stay in Yuehua Palace for now. It's warm and warm. This is the place where my father lived when he was a child." Yang Rui asked people to bring in the stove and persuaded:
"You can't do things like this. By kneeling under the city gate, aren't you embarrassing Dali Temple?"

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at his own mother helplessly, and said, "My mother is also thinking about the family. My elder brother inherits the family business. It has only been a few years since my father passed away, and my elder brother has been dismissed. I am afraid that the family will be ruined."

"Don't we still have you?" Yang Rui said: "Wouldn't it be better for you to inherit the family fortune of Shangzhu Kingdom?"

"Me?" Changsun Wuji said in surprise: "I am the fourth child."

Yang Rui smiled and said: "Li Hun is the tenth eldest son in the family. Didn't he also inherit Duke Shen?"

"He is killing his own people, but I am different," Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Although I have grudges with them, we will never kill each other."

He's still young and doesn't have that ferocity yet.

Yang Rui laughed: "It's true that the second brother should have brought you two into the palace first."

Changsun Wuji said: "The king of Wei has such a heart, but he was stopped by the prince and side concubine."

Yang Rui's eyebrows moved and he smiled bitterly and said: "My Aunt Pei is the closest to me, but she hasn't beaten me for a long time. Do you know? Most of the beatings I received when I was a child were at the hands of Aunt Pei. , I know she is really good for me."

"Then why didn't she beat you up?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Yang Rui sighed: "Because one time I made a mistake, Aunt Pei punished me, and my grandfather saw it. My grandfather complained a few times at that time. Since then, Aunt Pei has not beaten me again."

Yang Rui has the closest relationship with Pei Shuying and Chen Shuyi, and they are regarded as half-mothers.

Although he didn't say anything, he knew half-heartedly that the matter was very complicated and involved his brotherly relationship with Yang Jin.

After Yang Rui pondered for a moment, he said to the chamberlain beside him: "Call the second son here."

Not long after, Yang Jin came.

Yang Rui asked directly: "Second brother, why doesn't Concubine Pei refuse to bring Wuji and the others into the palace?"

"Aniang said that Wuji is yours, and it's best for you to bring them into the palace," Yang Jin said honestly.Yang Rui frowned and said, "My people are yours. You are still my brother. Aren't my affairs your business? If Aunt Pei asks you these things again in the future, don't listen to her."

"Okay, grandma also said, let me listen to you in everything," Yang Jin said with a smile.

Yang Rui suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and said helplessly: "She is too careful, it's all because of some bastards."

"Which bastards?" Yang Jin said blankly.

Yang Rui said: "My great uncle is just a bastard."

Yang Jin was taken aback, and the two brothers burst out laughing. Yang Ruifang scolded Yang Xuanting. After all, Xuan Ting was the most troublesome person in the Eastern Palace, and he was also a figure in the factional disputes in the Eastern Palace. Didn’t his followers give Liu Xuan all to him? Hit?

"Shimin is not here, please give me an idea, what should Wuji do about this matter?" Yang Rui ordered the food to be served, and he and Wuji mother and son started eating.

Mrs. Gao definitely had no appetite and kept silent. She felt that such a big matter was something she couldn't discuss with the two young highnesses.

Yang Jin thought for a while and said, "What else can we do? Just do nothing. Apart from the emperor's grandfather and father, who can change the verdict of the case decided by Dali Temple? Xingbu and the others also brought it upon themselves."

"That's not the problem," Yang Rui said: "Wuji's mother-in-law is worried that something happened to Xingbu, which will lead to the decline of the family, and she wants to plead for Xingbu. I thought about it, and it's the same reason. I really want Wuji to have a fight with the eldest son's family. Clearing boundaries will not do Wuji any good.”

Yang Jin frowned, shook his head and said:

"My father has made a special statement this time. The Dali Temple has full authority to hear the verdict and the verdict has been made. If my father interferes again, it will be a betrayal and bad luck. Changsun Sheng does not have a title. Although he has a first-class Shangzhu country, the title cannot There is no way to reduce the guilt of the crime. Having said that, if you don't have a title, you should be honest. It's because they are too courageous. I just asked Wei Zheng, guess how much Changsun Anye has made over the years?"

Yang Rui laughed and said: "I've known about it for a long time and found out 70 yuan was confiscated from the house, but you still lied to me."

Yang Jin rolled his eyes and said: "A little prison general, after seven or eight years of greed, he is still at the foot of the emperor, the capital of the capital. If Wuji's grandfather is still alive, he can help him, but now he can No one can stand it."

Yang Rui frowned and said, "I've always wondered why Wuji's grandpa doesn't have a title? Shangzhu Kingdom only got the title with the help of his father."

"I don't understand this," Yang Jin said.

After pondering for a while, Yang Rui said: "Eat first, I'll go to my father to find out, if it's okay, I'll come back later and give you an answer, the second one also don't leave, wait for me."

After saying that, Yang Rui left in a hurry.

As a person, whenever there is something that he cannot figure out, he must figure it out immediately. He went to see his father mainly to clarify his doubts. He wanted to know why Changsun Sheng could not be sealed.

Yang Ming and his wife were also having dinner at the moment. After learning about their son’s purpose, Yang Yinjiang said in surprise:

"I thought you were interceding for Gao and his son."

Yang Rui smiled and said: "I figured it out on the way. There is nothing to intercede with. My father must have a deep meaning in doing this. I can't interfere randomly."

"It's good to know," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile: "When something happens, you have to think more, not only from your own perspective, but also from the perspective of others and the overall situation."

Yang Rui chuckled and said, "My son knows, but my mother hasn't answered me yet. Why can't Changsun Sheng be granted the title? I think his contribution may not be as good as that of the Duke of the Kingdom, but the Duke of the County must be able to bear it."

Yang Yinjiang smiled and said: "Actually, I don't know either. I have to ask your grandpa about this."

Yang Rui looked at his father with a look of anticipation.

Yang Ming slowly put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "Mie Tuyuhun, whose credit is it?"

"Of course it belongs to Grandpa," Yang Rui said.

Yang Ming shook his head and said, "Think again."

Yang Rui had a flash of idea: "It belongs to the emperor's grandfather."

Yang Ming asked again: "Whose credit is it for destroying Chen?"

Yang Rui rolled his eyes and said, "It belongs to great-grandfather, Emperor Gaozu."

This time, he didn't say that it was Yang Guang's credit, because Yang Ming had already given him an example in the previous question.

Yang Ming nodded: "The Turks surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. Whose credit is it?"

Yang Rui was shocked and figured it out.
Yang Yinjiang also frowned, thoughtfully.

The reason why Changsun Sheng could not be knighted was because his merits directly conflicted with Yang Jian.

The Turks surrendered to Yang Jian. If the credit goes to Changsun Sheng, it means that Chang Sun Sheng prompted the Turks to surrender, rather than the Turks fearing the Sui Dynasty and taking the initiative to surrender.

Therefore, there cannot be Changsun Sheng in the relationship between the Sui Dynasty and the Turkic superior states and vassal states.

It is also doomed that Changsun Sheng cannot be sealed.

Tuyuhun was destroyed by Yang Guang, and Chen was destroyed by Yang Jian. In these two battles, the two marching marshals Yang Ming and Yang Guang were just errands.

Merits must be attributed to the emperor, this is the truth.
