Emperor Sui Yang

There has been no news about Su Lie since he crossed Yanshan Mountain. It has been three months now and there has been no news. He does not know whether he is dead or alive.

On the Zhuojun side, they have been sending out border troops to look for Su Lie's army, but they have found nothing. It is as if the [-]-strong army disappeared out of thin air.

It is not easy at all to find 1 people in the vast grassland without navigation.

Pei Shuying was more concerned about Su Lie's safety. After all, Su Lie's wife was her sister.

The old Pei family is not weak at all now. The three sons-in-law, Wei Zheng, Su Lie, and Li Jiancheng, are all members of the prince. In the East Palace, they are enough to compete with the Yang family.

What's more, Yang Ming's Hedong soldiers and generals are almost all from the Pei family.

Pei Shuying's status among the female relatives of the East Palace is equal to that of Yang Yinjiang.

"Dingfang is too reckless. We should have sent someone back with news. Mobei is not as good as the Central Plains. If we get lost, it will be very dangerous," Pei Shuying said while eating at the family banquet.

Yang Ming smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. He has many Turks under his command, and they know the situation in Mobei fairly well. Now there is no trace at all, which can only mean that they went too deep."

Feng Yuzhi didn't know the news that his father had launched an army, so he asked curiously:
"Your Highness will not go to Jiangdu again?"

"I can't tell, it depends on Your Majesty," Yang Ming said, "After you go to Jiangdu with Your Majesty, return that Cui Lingzi to Yang Jian."

Yang Yinjiang nodded and said: "His Majesty specifically asked you to bring Cui Lingzi with you this time, so I understand. Don't worry, husband, as soon as you arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, you will return to Zhao intact."

Next, Yang Ming focused on Wei Gui, who was sitting next to Yang Rui.

This girl's appearance has changed a lot compared to the last time Yang Ming saw her. It could be said that she has undergone a major transformation. She is indeed becoming more and more beautiful. His son's vision is quite poisonous.

"You take people with you wherever you go, and you are not afraid of being gossiped about. If this is left to the public, it will have a bad impact on others," Yang Ming said solemnly.

Yang Rui said with a smile: "It is said that Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty hid his beauty in the golden house. My son and I will definitely marry Aze, so why should we be afraid of other people's gossip?"

You are shameless, Yang Ming said hoarsely: "Don't make random comparisons. Emperor Xiaowu is the one you can compare with?"

"My son, I made a mistake," Yang Rui said hehey.

It was Yang Guang who kept talking about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Others were really bad and didn't have the qualifications.

During the chat, Yang Ming also learned about some recent events in the capital. What made him feel most unhappy was the illness of Yang Yue, Cui Zhongfang, and Xue Daoheng.

Yang asked Xue Daoheng to be close to him, and Cui Zhongfang was an absolute talent. Yang Ming was reluctant to let anything happen to this person.

It's such a pity. You said you are so old, why did Yang Jian make you angry?

"Feng'er should go home while you still have some time," Yang Ming ordered, "Zhao Guogong's mood has not been very good recently."

Of course Dugu Feng'er knew that her father had been masturbated, so she nodded and said, "I understand."

Yang Ming stayed for a while and then went to the main hall to discuss matters, leaving a group of women looking at Cui Jinxi up and down.

This was the first time Yang Ming had enriched his harem after many years. Cui Jinxi was also canonized as Prince Liangyuan by Yang Guang because of his family's great contribution in Hebei.

Dugu Feng'er, Wei Xianhui, Feng Yuzhi, Yan Xiaotang, Cui Jinxi, plus Zheng Guanyin, who was given the title of Liangyuan by Yang Guang because her father served the country loyally and died in the battle in Yong'an County. The six establishments are considered full, and they are all in the fourth rank. Taste.

Chen Shuyi and Li Xiuning, this is the crown prince Liangdi, the third grade, Yang Yinjiang is the first grade, Pei Shuying was originally the second grade, was promoted from the first grade, and also served as the crown prince. Although the crown princess is gone, her grade has not gone down, so she is also Genuine product.

These four people are called inner-ming women, and the six Liang Yuan are called outer-ming women.

Among the ten women in total, the one with the best looks was originally Chen Shuyi, not counting Gao Yue, who had no status, but Chen Shuyi was a bit old, so naturally she couldn't compare to the upright and youthful Cui Jinxi.

Women are made of jealousy. Even the most generous Pei Shuying can't help but feel a little unhappy and repulsed when she sees Cui Jinxi.

There's no way, I can't turn back time. I'm getting older. When I was young, I wouldn't envy other people's looks, but now I'm old.

This year is the 12th year of Daye. Yang Ming is 29 years old, Pei Shuying is 32, Yang Yinjiang and Chen Shuyi are 33.

"Cui Sinong also left Beijing with His Majesty this time and is currently in Luoyang," Yang Yinjiang said with a fake smile on her face: "You can go see your father in the afternoon."

Cui Jinxi's father is Si Nong Si Qing, the chief official of a temple, a bu-level official, and behind him is the huge Cui family of Qinghe. There is nothing condescending about this girl.

What happened to Guanzhong Gate Valve?Coming to Hebei is also a worm.

"Yes," Cui Jinxi accepted the Wanfu and bowed her head without saying a word. She felt that the air in the palace was a bit exclusive.

Yang Guang will stay in Luoyang for half a month, and then take a boat to Jiangdu.

Luoyang is regarded as home by Yang Guang. Everything is built according to his wishes. Naturally, he likes it. Jiangdu is bound by the memories of his youth and Luoyang is a pure home.Yang Ming would come to his mother, Empress Xiao, to pay her respects every day. The empress had been alienating the East Palace, but she would not alienate her son.

Because it was born from her, it is her flesh and blood.

"It's all my fault. I didn't restrain Xiao Mian." Empress Xiao's eldest nephew Xiao Xuan was also there. After seeing Yang Ming, he kept apologizing.

When he was in Hebei, he was with Lai Huer, but he never had the chance to see Yang Ming because Yang Ming didn't want to see him.

After returning to Luoyang, Xiao Xuan worked hard. He and Dugu Xin were responsible for raising Jiangdu's supplies.

Yang Ming chuckled and said nothing.

Old uncle Xiao Yu hurriedly acted as peacemaker and said: "I recommended the person, but I am blind. If the prince has any grievances, just bring them against me."

He understood Yang Ming's temperament and knew that Yang Ming would not get angry at him.

Yang Ming sighed: "It's embarrassing."

Empress Xiao was originally in a good mood, but her face was gloomy at the moment: "Thinking of family ties, I gave him a chance, but in the end he turned against the imperial court. There is such a traitor in our clan. Everyone in Jiangnan is watching our jokes. This time when I return to Jiangdu, I I don’t even have the face to see anyone.”

Xiao Xuan suddenly fell silent.

Yang Ming asked: "Although Shen Wuhua's younger brother Shen Shuyi is a military advisor among the rebels, his son learned from Xu Xuanche who surrendered that Shen Shuyi is probably in Cao's camp and his heart is in the Han Dynasty. If there is a way to contact this person, he may be able to break the situation." The key.”

Xiao Yu frowned and said: "Shen Wuhua's nephew Shen Faxing is the rebel general. I heard he is based in Wuchang and is building a naval army. I'm afraid this person is not worthy of trust, right?"

"Of course they are not worthy of trust," Yang Ming said with a smile: "In fact, Xu Xuanche and Wan Zan are not trustworthy either. After the Hebei rebellion, I gained some new understanding of the rebels. Many of them actually did not want to rebel, regardless of For whatever reason, many of them have embarked on this road. They can be guided away from this road. Those who have no intention of becoming king can actually be recruited. For example, Liu Yuanjin of Wu County, given him a general manager, he will Already very satisfied.”

Queen Xiao said: "Your father doesn't like this. You ordered Wei Xuan to recruit rebels in the south of the Yangtze River. He is already unhappy. After all, it is a rebellion. If you don't punish him severely, how can you warn the world?"

"But our main purpose now is to suppress the rebellion and stabilize the world," Yang Ming patiently explained:
"Like the surrendered generals of Wagang, Dou Jiande, Xu, Wan and others, after the world is settled, admonishers will naturally come to them to settle accounts, whether to kill or behead them. At that time, we have the final say, and the matter of settling accounts is It can be postponed for a while while keeping the overall situation in mind."

"The prince is wise," Xiao Xuan said flatteringly: "We really can't lose sight of one thing and lose the other because of temporary anger. At the moment, recruiting security is really the only way to reduce the losses everywhere."

Empress Xiao sighed: "Don't ask me about state affairs, I can't make the decision."

Yang Ming nodded helplessly. His mother is too cowardly. What are you afraid of?Even if you go against dad, what can he do to you?

Does he dare to touch you?
Yang Ming really planned to find a way to contact Shen Shuyi and Shen Faxing, but it was actually a plan to alienate each other. There were too many Xiaoguo generals in Xiao Mian's army, and it was worth dividing them.

Nowadays, the country is short of money and food. The rebellion cannot be put down for a long time, and the damage to the foundation of the country is incalculable.

When Yang Guang reaches this point, he will definitely no longer think about reducing the population. If the reduction is enough, if it continues to be reduced, no one will pay taxes.

After leaving Queen Xiao, Yang Ming sent someone out of the palace to invite Shen Wuhua and Shen Zunli. He wanted to get to know Shen Shuyi well.

Don't underestimate the role of a strategist. Even if he is a puppet, as long as he can speak, he will have an internal impact on Xiao Mian.

As a result, something happened in the palace before Shen Wuhua came.

Yang Guang summoned Ning Changzhen, insulted him face to face, and threatened to level the entire Lingnan and kill all the Ning family.

At this time, Yang Guang's tolerance for Lingnan was zero, and he would no longer choose to gradually transform Lingnan in a gentle way.

He is a top-notch smart man. He knows that Feng Ang will definitely rebel. Even if he doesn't rebel, he will take care of Lingnan.

So Ning Changzhen no longer has any role.

He deliberately provoked Ning Changzhen, just to find an excuse to deal with him. Ning Changzhen was fooled, and in a rage, he rushed towards Yang Guang, intending to punch Yang Guang twice.

Can Ma Laoliu let him get close to Yang Guang?All of Ning Changzhen's old teeth were broken on the spot.

Ning Changzhen, who had a bloody face, was dragged out of the palace and beaten to death by the guards.

When Yang Ming arrived, he happened to see this scene, and he was stunned.

From this moment, he knew that things in Lingnan were not over. The spiritual leader of Guangxi and the leader of the Li people were executed by the emperor. Li Shimin was in Guizhou and was in big trouble.

In the past, Yang Ming always felt that his father was too ambitious, took too big steps, was too anxious about everything, abused people's power, and was a tyrant. At this moment, he truly realized that his father was also a foolish king.

How dare you kill Ning Changzhen? (End of chapter)
