The next day, Prince Yang Yong came to the Imperial Study Room of Xuanwen Palace. At this time, Yang Jian was reading the memorial. Seeing Yang Yong paying homage, he asked:"My son has arrived just in time. I have read Su Wei's memorial. He strongly advocated reducing taxes to support the people, and advised him to I am also benefiting the people, which is very consistent with my wishes."

Yang Yong said:"Yes, my father loves the people like his son, and everyone knows that"

"I see your face is full of joy. Tell me what you have going on today. Yang Jian said.

Yang Yong suddenly smiled and said:"My child recently got a pair of precious armor. It is very exquisite. I dare not keep it to myself. I brought it to the palace to show it to Your Majesty.""

"oh? Yang Jian was stunned and said:"Take it and have a look.""

Yang Yong waved his hand towards the door, and two palace men carried a pair of armor. The gems on the helmet were dazzling, and the pearls in the armor were dazzling. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian was a little surprised when he saw it.

Yang Yong introduced:"This helmet It's called the Pearl Phoenix Tail Helmet, and this armor is called the Pearl and Dragon Golden Armor. This armor has an extraordinary origin. The gems come from barbarian countries, and the pearls are taken from Southeast Asia. It is made by skilled craftsmen over many years. It is a unique piece of armor.

Yang Jian frowned and asked with doubts,"What do you mean by giving me this treasure armor?" Yang

Yong felt that the armor would definitely be delivered to his father's heart, and he said with a smile:"A few days ago, my father said that he would personally conquer the Turks and fight back against the Turks. I thought that no one could match this high-quality armor, except my father." genus."

After hearing this, Yang Jian stared at it and said nothing for a long time. Yang Yong looked hesitant and asked:"I guess there is no such treasure armor in the whole world."

"Fighting since ancient times, narrow escape from death! The ancient style of fighting is like a golden war and an iron horse. Yang Jian turned to look at Yang Yong and asked:"On top of the golden armor, there are jewels. In front of the two armies, are you asking me to wear jewels and go into battle to defend against the enemy?" Yang

Jian's eyes were sharp and he looked directly at Yang Yong. Yang Yong quickly knelt down and said,"Father, it's clear that this son is acting recklessly. Father, please calm down.""

"At the founding of the Sui Dynasty, I founded the country with diligence and frugality, seeking frugality for myself, and flaunting it to the world, in order to benefit the people and nourish all peoples. Armor is meant to be worn on the battlefield, so how can there be any reason to be gorgeous and beautiful when wearing military leather? Yang Jian flicked his sleeves and said,"Tear down the treasures on the armor and give them to the Ministry of War." I gave the emperor a waist knife that he used to wear in the past. Although it is old, if you want to conquer the dust in those days, you should know my heart."

"father emperor……"Seeing Yang Jian's long face, Yang Yong was displeased and did not dare to say anything more, so he had to take the treasure armor and a sword that Yang Jian had used before saying goodbye. Yang Jian looked at Su Wei's memorial again and felt really unhappy. He left Xuanwen Hall and drove back to the palace to rest.

After returning to Ning'an Hall, Empress Dugu saw Yang Jian's displeased expression and saw that she must be offended, so she stayed with her and asked about the whole story. Yang Jian then told him everything about today's prince Yang Yong's gift of treasure armor.

Dugu later said:"Your Majesty has been diligent and thrifty for many years to cultivate himself and support his family, and now he is also using diligence and thrift to govern the country and bring peace to the world. The prince has been pampered in the palace since he was a child, and indeed lacks some virtues of diligence and thrift."

"well. Yang Jian sighed and said:"Innate deficiencies, acquired imbalances, and it is against my will."

Empress Dugu smiled slightly and said comfortingly:"It seems that this is not the case, concubine.""

"Um? Yang Jian asked:"Why did the queen say this?" Dugu later said:"Today the King of Jin came to visit and drafted a memorial. However, he did not dare to directly admonish His Majesty. Instead, he sent it to my concubine.""

As she said this, Empress Dugu picked up the memorial and presented it. Yang Jian opened the memorial and read it carefully. Empress Dugu said:"This memorial is sincerely worded. It advocates returning wine cellars and salt ponds to the people, abolishing government monopoly, and opening up to the people. Buy and sell. I also asked Your Majesty to collect books from all over the world, collect the best works from hundreds of schools of thought, allow scholars to discuss them, and govern the country with courtesy and etiquette. King Jin’s knowledge is extraordinary"

"Um." Yang Jian looked at the memorial and listened to Queen Dugu's praise. He was very relieved. He nodded frequently, frowned and beamed with joy. He said to Queen Dugu:"The memorial is written in my opinion, and I will play it accurately."This is how it is:

It is difficult to build up talents with precious light, and worries come one after another. Success comes from diligence and frugality, failure comes from extravagance, and this is the beginning of a strong country.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian abided by the virtue of monogamy, and when he was busy with political affairs, he would accompany him all day long. Queen Dugu. The old couple often thought about how to teach their children, and were good at talking about the way to govern the country. They were very affectionate. When the war against the Turks in the north started, Yang Jian said:"I have been sitting in the palace for a long time. After thinking about it again and again, I decided to send troops to fight back against the Turks to avoid future troubles. And the elite troops stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River were transferred to the north of the Great Wall to prepare for war.

Queen Dugu said:"The remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty are still in Huanglong Mansion and are secretly colluding with the Turks. Why not use this opportunity to annihilate them all?""

"Well, it's just what I wanted."Yang Jian said:"In this Northern Expedition to the Turks, I want to reuse the prince Yang Yong and let him serve as Daxingtai of Hebei Province to handle the military affairs of the 21 states and make great achievements. I wonder what the queen wants?"

Queen Dugu said:"Your Majesty established the country through diligence and frugality and achieved great achievements. However, the prince is usually extravagant. I am afraid that after taking office, he will not be able to withstand the flattery of local officials, but will become even more extravagant and become a burden to local officials."

"Um. Yang Jian was deeply convinced, nodded, and said,"If the Queen doesn't remind you, I'll be ignoring it.""

Queen Dugu said:"A few days ago, I went to Prince Jin's Mansion, and the impression is still before my eyes. The King of Jin was frugal and simple, and Xiao Jun knew the sufferings of the people. The couple really complemented each other. It would be better to appoint Yang Guang as the Daxingtai of Hebei Province."

Yang Jian usually has a soft ear and listens to the queen's advice the most. Thinking back to his second son Yang Guang, Yang Jian also felt that he could be entrusted with a more important role, so he readily agreed and appointed Yang Guang as the Daxingtai of Hebei Province.

The next day, Yang Jian convened at the Yushu Hall. Several important ministers were discussing politics, and the prince Yang Yong and the king of Jin Yang Guang were discussing military affairs in the room.

Yang Jian picked up a memorial and said:"Since we defeated the five Khans, I ordered Yuan Hui to go to the Western Regions to alienate Datou Khan and his eldest grandson. Sheng sent an envoy to Liaodong to persuade Buli Khan, and the Second Khan's army was almost wiped out in Yanmen. Now only Sabolo Khan and Abo Khan are still stubborn and eyeing the Sui Dynasty."

Yang Jian stood up and walked to the map. He looked at the hanging map intently and said,"I decided to take the initiative and start a decisive battle."After hearing this, everyone was whispering to each other and talking about it.

Zuo Pu shot Su Wei and said:"Your Majesty, I have prepared all the money, food and luggage for the crusade against Chen State. Now that I am talking about launching a decisive battle with the Turks, I don't know that the money, food and luggage are shipped to the north of the Great Wall. , or should it be shipped to Jiangdong?"

"I have sent an order to attack Chen's soldiers and march north to prepare for a decisive battle at the Great Wall. Aiqing raised money and food supplies and shipped them to the north immediately."

Prince Yang Yong, who was sitting aside, was thinking about how to drive his second brother Yang Guang out of the capital. Since Concubine Yuan of Xiuchunyuan became jealous of Concubine Xiao, Yang Yong and his wife tried every means to please their father and drive away the King of Jin and his wife. Yang Yong said:"This Northern Expedition , the matter is of great importance. I heard that the second brother is good at leading the army, why not let King Jin take command? Emperor

Wen of the Sui Dynasty looked at the prince and asked:"As the prince, you recommended the King of Jin to lead the army. Why don't you go there in person?" Yang

Yong said:"My son is the prince and the heir apparent of the country. If he hadn't helped his father in coordinating political affairs, he would have been a pioneer and started a war with the Turks!"."

Hearing what the prince said, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty sneered slightly:"Is this all you have to do to make a difference?"

Yang Yong saw that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was unhappy and quickly explained:"My child just feels that government affairs are busy and he does not dare to delay. If the former enemy needs it, my child will definitely serve the country! Yang

Jian waved his hand and dismissed the prince's invitation to fight:"That's all. After careful consideration, I decided to lead the expedition myself. The prince doesn't know how to use troops, so he will stay in the capital to supervise the country for the time being.""

Yang Guang was secretly happy when he saw that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was a little tired of the prince, but he just lowered his head and said nothing, waiting to see how his father would arrange it. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty unfolded the prepared edict and said to everyone:"The Great Sui Heavenly Army marches from east to west. , Yinshou came out of Lulong, Han Sengshou came out of Yuzhou, Li Chong came out of Shuozhou, Dou Rongding came out of Liangzhou, Douluji came out of Yanmen, Gao Jiong came out of Ningzhou, Yang Hong came out of Lingzhou, and Yu Qingze came out of Yuanzhou , divided the troops into eight groups and attacked across the board."

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty thought that the prince Yang Yong had been living in the palace for a long time and was a little immature. However, he still followed the instructions of Queen Dugu and re-employed the king of Jin Yang Guang. Yang Jian called the king of Jin and said,"Just now, Su Wei said that all the money and supplies for the Northern Expedition have been taken. Now that you are in place, I want you to be in charge of money, food and supplies, and provide support from the rear of the General Administration. Are you willing to go?

Yang Guang said:"Just let your father send you.""

""Okay," Yang Jian said,"I grant you the title of General Wuwei, Shangshu Ling of Shangzhu Kingdom and Hebei Daoxingtai, and take charge of rear affairs of all armies.""

"My son, I thank my father for his kindness."

After Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty deployed the troops for the Northern Expedition, Yang Guang was also thinking about a memorial that he had carried in his sleeve for many days. This memorial was to impeach the traitor Yan Rong for intending to molest Xiao Jun.

Just as he was about to take it out to participate, his left hand just After entering his sleeve, Yang Jian said to the King of Jin:"After my son takes office in Hebei, Yan Rong, the general manager of Qingzhou, will transfer grain and grass from Shandong to supply Hebei Province. Food, grass and baggage are of great importance. You must work together with Yan Rong to reinforce the Northern Expedition."

When he heard that his father was re-employing Yan Rong, he stuffed the impeachment memorial that he was about to take out back. It was not convenient for Yang Guang to participate in the impeachment for a while, so he had to accept the order.

Yang Guang returned to the palace and came to the backyard. Xiao Jun was watching the flowers with Cui Ju. One day Seeing Yang Guang come back, Xiao Jun asked:"Today, when my father met with the emperor to discuss matters, did your highness participate in the impeachment of Yan Rong?"

"well. Yang Guang sighed and shook his head:"As expected, my father decided to use Yan Rong to entrust him with the important task of raising military rations." One more thing, my father granted me Daxingtai of Hebei Province, and I will be heading to Weizhou soon."

"Is His Highness planning to go on another expedition?"

"Before this time, Daxingtai was mainly in charge of money, food and supplies. The army was about to set out in early April, so he had to take office in advance."

Xiao Jun was a girl who didn't understand military matters at all, so she asked:"In the battle last year, Hedong and Hebei were victorious, and the lost territory of Longyou was also recovered. Why start another war?"

Yang Guangyan said:"You don't know something. The Turks have no grudges with the Sui Dynasty. It's just that the former Northern Zhou Dynasty Princess Qianjin and the Northern Qi clan Gao Baoning both wanted to restore the country. For their own selfish interests, they colluded with the Turks and did not hesitate to split the Central Plains.. This time my father ordered me to take office in Hebei Province, the purpose is to destroy Gao Baoning and recover the Huanglong Mansion in the north of Saibei."

Xiao Jun then understood that this trip to Hebei Province was to wipe out the remaining forces of the

Northern Qi Dynasty. At the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, after the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Baoning, the governor of Yingzhou of the Northern Qi Dynasty, collected the remaining soldiers and horses of the Northern Qi Dynasty, separatized Huanglong Mansion, and refused to submit to the Sui Dynasty.

Gao Baoning was alone in the north of the fortress and was weak, so he colluded with the Turks again and again. Gao Baoning wanted to promote a coalition, so he went to the Turks' Yazhang Dujin Mountain and met Shabolue Khan in person to take pictures...

Since the second Khan Amuluo was defeated at Yanmen Pass, he lost his troops and generals, and was wounded himself. He returned to Mobei and did not dare to fight again.

Sabolo Khan took pictures and had to switch from offense to defense and hastily withdraw his troops. The war was unfavorable, which constantly undermined the prestige of Sabolo Khan in the grasslands.

Whenever I go back to my tent, I just drink to drown my sorrows and get drunk all day long. When Princess Qianjin saw the Khan's defeat, she consoled him and said:"Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. Why should the heroes of the Great Khan give up on themselves like this?"?"

"well!"Sabolo Khan sighed:"Amuluo was seriously injured and almost the entire army was wiped out. Both Datou Khan and Buli Khan valued my position as the leader of the grassland alliance. They were eyeing me and wanted to share a piece of the pie with me. This battle It's getting harder and harder to fight"

"Even if someone peeks into the alliance leader's position, they can't shake the Khan at the moment."

"Having said that, if the Great Sui Dynasty is not defeated, the prestige of this Khan will be lost sooner or later."

The couple was thinking about the next battle. While they were talking, a servant came to report:"Report to the Great Khan, Apo Khan and Gao Baoning have arrived."

"welcome!"

Two people came in from outside the tent. One of them had big shoulders, big hips, a round waist, a beard, and was extremely fierce. This man was none other than Apo Khan, one of the five great khans; the other had a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, deep eyes, and a high nose. , mustache, this person is Gao Baoning, the surrendered general of the Northern Qi Dynasty. This leads to the following: The Turks of the remnant Qi colluded to split the Central Plains.

They sacrificed their beauties to buy the rebel generals, and secretly hurt the king of Jin to show off his heroism.
