"Your Highness is ridiculous. As a general of the Sui Dynasty, I must dedicate myself to everything. These things are all my duty!"
Wang Ke quickly supported Yang Guang and said.
Yang Guang looked at Wang Ke with admiration in his eyes.
Subsequently.
A few people exchanged a few more polite words.
Step by step, I also walked to the other courtyard where refreshments had been arranged.
"Everyone, please take a seat!"
Yang Guang waved his hand and said to several people.
immediately.
Several people sat down on several Hu beds.
After sitting down.
Wang Ke's eyes fell on the cases in front of him.
On top of these tables, there was a cup of tea and a plate of snacks, but they looked like ordinary things and did not fit the status of a prince.
"These refreshments are what the lonely king usually eats. They are too simple. Please forgive me."
I saw that everyone was sitting firmly.
Yang Guang smiled slightly and said.
As he spoke, he raised the tea cup, raised his hand slightly, and drank it all in one gulp.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is so frugal, which is really a model for the world. It is truly a blessing to His Majesty and a blessing to all the people!"
When Yang Su saw Yang Guang serving tea, he didn't dare to neglect it. He immediately returned the gift while holding the wine glass.
after.
Yang Xuangan and Wang Ke also raised their glasses in return.
After drinking a cup of tea with several people.
Yang Guang then talked about the military affairs in Northern Xinjiang and Jiangnan.
He sometimes asked questions, sometimes listened, and sometimes brought up some key points, which attracted Wang Ke and Yang Xuangan to look at the King of Jin with admiration.
soon.
As the time goes.
This question and answer session is also nearing its end.
Yang Guang saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and said to everyone: "It's getting late today. Please go back and rest... My father may summon a few of you tomorrow, so please keep your spirits up."
"Yes! Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. I will take my leave!"
After hearing this, Yang Su and others all raised their hands and immediately left Jin Prince's Mansion under the escort of Shen Guang and Qian Jie.
Outside the Jin Palace.
The streets of Daxing City were deserted.
Wang Ke walked down the steps slowly.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. There was only a crescent moon hanging in the sky.
"Yan Zhong..."
At this moment.
Yang Su suddenly spoke and said to Wang Ke.
"Mr. Yang!"
Wang Ke turned around and saluted.
"It's late today and it's inconvenient for you to go out of the city. Why don't you come to my house to rest. We can also meet the Holy Spirit together early tomorrow morning."
Yang Su said to Wang Ke.
"Since it is Duke Yang's order, I will not dare to disobey it!"
Wang Ke nodded and said to Yang Su.
Not long after.
Several people came to the Duke of Yue's mansion.
Yang Su brought Yang Xuangan and Wang Ke to the study to sit down, and then a man in green robe opened the door and came in and brought tea.
"Huh? Why is Xuanda here?"
When Yang Xuangan saw the man in green robe, he was suddenly surprised and asked quickly.
"Hahaha, big brother, please accept my bow!"
This green-robed man is none other than Yang Su's nephew and Yang Xuangan's younger brother. His surname is Yang Mingtuo, and his surname is Xuanda.
Yang Su said from the side: "Xuanda has been practicing civil and martial arts in the family before. After completing his studies a few days ago, he came to my house with a letter. I plan to find a job for him after the queen's funeral."
"Hahahaha! What's so difficult about this? Father, just leave Xuanda to me!"
Yang Xuangan patted his chest and said loudly.
"This matter is not urgent... I came to you two today to ask, what do you think of His Highness King Jin?"
Yang Su waved his hand and motioned for Yang Tuo to go out first.
Then, he asked Yang Xuangan to sit down, looked solemn, and asked slowly.
"Prince Jin..."
Wang Ke listened to Yang Su's question, pondered for a moment, and then replied: "The King of Jin is a simple man, kind to others, and quick in thinking. He is indeed a rare talent."
"Um."
Yang Su nodded slightly after hearing this.
"But father, I always feel that Prince Jin's actions are a bit of a joke."
At this time.
Yang Xuangan suddenly interrupted.
As a child of a wealthy family.
Yang Xuangan did have some experience in the so-called art of raising hope.
For example, the stories of Kong Rong giving away pears, lying on the ice to seek carp, and the story of getting a son-in-law in the east bed are all behaviors of a famous family to raise their reputation and hope.
Therefore.
When Yang Xuangan saw what Yang Guang did.
Instead of feeling any reverence, there was a sense of disdain in his heart.
"You idiot, I am the majestic King of Jin. What about cultivating virtuous people and recruiting talented people? Do you still need your pointers? Could it be that none of the princes in the court understand it as well as you?"
Hearing Yang Xuangan say this.
Yang Su was unusually angry.
He slapped the table with a heavy palm and shouted coldly.
Seeing my father like this.
Yang Xuangan immediately shrank his head and said no more words.
"When you enter the court this time, one is to pay homage to the Queen, and the other is to see what King Jin is like..."
Yang Su picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said.
"Looking at the character of King Jin? Could it be that His Majesty wants to abolish the establishment?"
Wait for Yang Su to finish speaking.
Wang Ke subconsciously asked Yang Su knowingly and praised Yang Su.
"exactly."
Yang Su nodded, and then told Wang Ke and Yang Xuangan, who had been in the side court and out of town for a long time, about the affairs of the court.
turn out to be.
This prince, Yang Yong, often hangs out with Yun Zhaoxun because he doesn't like the prince's concubine Yuanshi, and has always been disliked by Queen Dugu.
However, for the sake of his own son, Yang Jian didn't have any special intentions.
However, the prince Yang Yong realized later that he always liked luxury and often arbitrarily exceeded his expenses. On weekdays, Yang Jian could turn a blind eye.
But, just two months ago.
Queen Dugu is seriously ill.
Yang Jian summoned Yang Yong to the palace to serve his mother.
At that time, Yang Yong was riding a horse at the former site of Shanglinyuan outside Daxing City.
At the same time, Ji Wei, the head of the Prince's Palace in the East Palace, secretly reported to the emperor that Yang Yong secretly hid Shu armor in the palace and asked the warlock Master Liu to perform witchcraft.
Such actions immediately offended Yang Jian.
So Yang Jian sent Yang Su to examine Yang Yong. Unexpectedly, Yang Su had colluded with Yang Guang and deliberately induced Yang Yong to say some resentful words, and then reported the truth to Yang Jian.
After Yang Jian heard this, he was furious. He immediately dismissed Ji Wei as the chief historian of the East Palace, beheaded dozens of officials and subordinates of the East Palace, and finally replaced all the East Palace guards.
This way.
It can be said that Prince Yang Yong has been completely isolated and placed under house arrest in the East Palace.
Listen to what Yang Su said.
Wang Ke and Yang Xuangan looked at each other and both felt that the affairs of the court were too complicated.
"The main reason I say this to you is to let you know that the situation is complicated now. When you have to make a decision, you must make it immediately. Don't miss the opportunity to follow the dragon!"
Yang Su stroked his long beard and said to Yang Xuangan and Wang Ke quite proudly.
Wang Ke's eyes flickered, and he understood very well - in fact, from Yang Su's perspective, now that he has tightly hugged Yang Guang's thigh, the future wealth can be extended for at least three generations, and the Hongnong Yang family can still be the leader of the Sui Dynasty. The top aristocratic family exists.
However.
Yang Su saw the future.
But he saw the wrong person.
He misjudged both Yang Guang and his son Yang Xuangan.
…
the next day.
Many generals from other places came to the palace to pay homage to the emperor Yang Jian.
Followed by many famous generals.
Wang Ke was walking in the middle of the queue.
He raised his head slightly and glanced at Yang Jian.
This time.
Yang Jian's hair has turned gray and his face has become more and more withered. It is obvious that the death of Queen Dugu has given him a big blow.
That's why.
This interview did not last long.
After Yang Jian briefly met with everyone, he rewarded them with something and let many generals leave.
Farewell to the emperor.
Wang Ke returned to the camp outside the city.
He had just returned to the Chinese military tent and sat down.
A soldier outside the gate came in and reported: "Lord, there is a Taoist at the camp gate who wants to see you!"
"Taoist?"
Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Let him come in!"
"yes!"
The soldier bowed his hands and turned to leave.
Just a moment.
A handsome Taoist priest wearing a crane cloak came slowly following the soldiers.
"The poor man is bowing his head!"
The man in the crane cloak walked to the central military tent, bowed slightly and saluted Wang Ke.
"What is the Taoist doing here?"
Wang Ke looked at this person, with a smile on his lips, and asked.
"I have heard about the general's name for a long time. When I saw him today, I gave him a special gift."
The Taoist priest replied.
"Oh? I wonder what kind of gift it is?"
Wang Ke asked.
"The poor Taoist came here and specially presented a white hat to the general, and asked the general to accept it."
Taoist Heyi looked at Wang Ke with burning eyes and said slowly.
