The two sat down in the private room, and the others stayed outside. The maid brought light and exquisite dishes and tea, and then withdrew.
Yang Peng picked up the teapot and poured tea for Zhao Xiangxiang. Zhao Xiangxiang felt flattered and hurriedly said: "Brother, let the little sister do it!" Yang Peng smiled and said: "You call me eldest brother, and the brother takes care of the sister. That is only natural, not to mention just pouring a cup of tea." Zhao Xiangxiang was very moved, only I feel that although my eldest brother has become an emperor, he has not changed at all from when we first met. He is still the same bold and enthusiastic brother! Thinking of this, a look of attachment could not help but appear in his eyes.
Yang Peng poured tea for Zhao Xiangxiang, then filled himself with tea, put down the teapot, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and blinked. Zhao Xiangxiang said quickly: "Brother must not be used to drinking tea, why not let them serve a pot of wine!"
Yang Peng waved his hand with a smile and said, "To be honest, your eldest brother, I don't really like drinking! I just drink when I'm with Duan Zhixian and Shi Liancheng!"
Zhao Xiangxiang showed surprise and said: "My eldest brother is the most brave in the world. He is a hero of Yan and Zhao, but he doesn't like drinking?!"
Yang Peng said with a smile: "The wine is spicy, but I don't think it is delicious! I still prefer to drink sweet things, such as juice and so on. Mung bean soup is better than wine!" Zhao Xiangxiang couldn't help but laugh. Laughing, I can't help but feel that my eldest brother is a bit like a child sometimes. As soon as this thought came out, I was surprised.
Yang Peng picked up a handful of winter bamboo shoots and ate them, then said, "I thought you were in Tianjing New City, little sister. When did you come to Yanjing?"
Zhao Xiangxiang said: "I've been here for several months. I really couldn't stand my uncle and aunt anymore, so I had no choice but to come to Yanjing without saying goodbye."
Yang Peng frowned and asked, "Did your uncle and aunt bully you again?"
Zhao Xiangxiang shook her head quickly, raised her head and glanced at Yang Peng, saying: "How dare they? It's just that they come to Luo Luo all day long, begging the younger sister to come and confess to the elder brother or the ladies, the younger sister said to them, The eldest brother governs the country according to the law and is merciless. It is useless for the younger sister to say it, but they just refuse to listen and continue to complain endlessly. The younger sister was so annoyed by them that she had no choice but to leave without saying goodbye! "
Yang Peng chuckled and said: "Your elder brother, I am not a selfless father-in-law. If you come to ask for help from elder brother, elder brother will definitely help you within the allowed range!" Zhao Xiangxiang heard Yang Peng say this and couldn't help but be very moved. She just felt The eldest brother is really like his own elder brother.
Yang Peng picked up a chopstick and ate the green vegetables, then asked: "Where do you live now? If you don't have a place to live, just live in the palace. Anyway, the palace is empty most of the time, so it's too empty. wasted!"
Zhao Xiangxiang said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, brother! But it's still okay for little sisters to live in an inn!"
Yang Peng frowned, "How can that be done! You are my sister no matter what, how can you live in an inn! Move to the palace today! If Yong Hui sees you, he will be extremely happy!"
Zhao Xiangxiang showed an expression of surprise and asked quickly: "Sister Yonghui is here too?"
Yang Peng nodded with a smile and said: "Not only is she here, but my whole family is here!" Seeing Zhao Xiangxiang's surprise, he explained with a smile: "I came here for something, so I simply brought him They came out to have some fun." Zhao Xiangxiang suddenly realized.
Yang Peng saw that Zhao Xiangxiang had not moved his chopsticks or drank tea, so he asked: "Are these dishes and tea not to your taste?" Zhao Xiangxiang shook his head and said: "No! My little sister doesn't eat so well usually!" Yang Peng Peng smiled and said, "Then eat it while it's hot. It's best to eat these things while they're hot. It won't be good when they're cold." Zhao Xiangxiang responded, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating in small bites.
Yang Peng asked while eating and drinking: "Sister, have you written any works recently?"
Zhao Xiangxiang blushed and said, "I wrote some poems, but I can't stand my brother's eyes!"
Yang Peng said: "Who said that! My brother really likes those poems you wrote!" Zhao Xiangxiang was very happy when she heard this, "If he likes it, my little sister will give him the latest book of poems!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Look, you said that you are not worthy of my eldest brother's attention. In fact, I have even published a collection of poems! Your eldest brother and I have never published a collection of poems in my life!"
Zhao Xiangxiang said with a blushing face: "My elder brother's talent and knowledge are like the bright moon in the sky, and my little sister can only look up to him! Publishing a collection of poems is nothing!"
Even though Yang Peng was as thick-skinned as a city wall, he couldn't help but blush after hearing these words. He smiled and waved his hands and said: "Thank you! Thank you!" Zhao Xiangxiang said with great admiration: "Brother's songs are novel in format and style. It has never been done before. Although the meter is simple, it touches people's hearts directly. With such a talent, I'm afraid Li Taibai and others will be a little inferior!" Yang Peng laughed loudly, "I don't dare to compare with Li Taibai!" He picked up the teacup. After finishing it in one gulp, he changed the topic and said: "Sister, when you go to the palace, you can have a good chat with Yong Hui. She will be very happy to have you as her company!" Zhao Xiangxiang said with a smile; Sister Yonghui, let’s have a good chat!” Then he said a little worriedly: “It’s just that sister Yonghui is now a noble concubine, I’m afraid...” Yang Peng waved his hand and said with a smile: “Our family doesn’t do this, you There's nothing to worry about at all." Zhao Xiangxiang couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard this.
The two chatted while eating and drinking, and an hour passed before they knew it.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Peng said to Zhao Xiangxiang, "It's getting late, and we're full. It's time for us to go home." Zhao Xiangxiang nodded.
The two stood up and left the private room. A maid from Fanlou came forward, bowed slightly and said, "Sir, your meal is worth one, two or three coins in total." A female guard next to her immediately paid the money. The maid took the money, thanked her, and went in to pack it up.
Yang Peng said to the female guard: "You accompany my little sister to clean up the inn, and then take her to the palace." The female guard promised. Yang Peng smiled and said to Zhao Xiangxiang: "Go and clean up quickly." Zhao Xiangxiang nodded and led his personal maid Ju'er, and the female guard followed.
Ju'er curiously asked her young lady: "Miss, why does Your Majesty want us to go to the palace?" Zhao Xiangxiang's eyes showed gratitude and said: "That's because eldest brother took care of me! He wants me to live in the palace!" Ju'er She was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Live in the palace! Miss, Your Majesty is so kind to you!" Zhao Xiangxiang smiled slightly, and she couldn't help but feel the closeness of a sister to her brother.
Soon after, Zhao Xiangxiang came to the palace. Chai Yonghui was naturally overjoyed and immediately asked Zhao Xiangxiang to live with her. The two sisters held hands and talked intimately, just like a pair of biological sisters.
…
During the night, Yang Jiumei's soul flew out of the sky countless times, and finally she lay on Yang Peng's chest and could no longer move. Panting, I closed my eyes and just wanted to sleep.
Yang Peng shook her delicate body and called: "Hey!"
Yang Jiumei opened her eyes, rolled her eyes at Yang Peng lazily, and said angrily: "I'm so tired! You turned on me!"
Yang Peng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Don't you have something serious to tell me?" When Yang Jiumei heard this, she remembered the business. Yang Peng joked: "You were worried that I would forget about the real thing, but in the end it was you who got so happy that you forgot about the real thing!" Yang Jiumei blushed delicately and said angrily: "It's your fault!" Yang Peng said gloomily: "It was basically you who took the initiative tonight! Why did it turn out to be my fault again?" Yang Jiumei said with infinite embarrassment, "It's your fault!"
Yang Peng nodded helplessly, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault!" Then he sang softly: "It's all my fault, the moon caused the trouble, making me unknowingly satisfied, the vanity of being loved ..." As she sang, her fingers slid over Yang Jiumei's skin as smooth as brocade. Yang Jiumei couldn't help but her heart was fluttering, she hugged Yang Peng's neck suddenly, kissed his lips passionately, looked at Yang Peng with shining eyes, and said angrily: "You harmful person, You've made me emotional again!" Yang Peng stroked Yang Jiumei and said with a smile, "Then let's continue the rain in Wushan Mountain!"
Yang Jiumei quickly shook her head and said angrily: "I'm so tired, I can't come again!" Then she lay back on Yang Peng's chest and said in a hoarse voice: "You are not allowed to cause trouble! I will start talking to you now!" Yang Peng smiled bitterly. Said: "You are testing my willpower!"
Yang Jiumei raised her head and rolled her eyes at Yang Peng, then lay back, collected her thoughts, and said: "The latest news is that the capital of the Seljuk Empire has been lost!" Yang Peng frowned and murmured: "This This is really beyond my expectation!" Then he thought in his mind: 'Have the Western Crusaders ever conquered the capital of Seljuk in history? It seems not? Seljuk Türkiye in the Middle Ages seemed to be very powerful! History has changed beyond recognition, and it seems that my butterfly is probably to blame! '
Seeing Yang Peng's thoughtful expression, Yang Jiumei stopped talking and waited for him to finish thinking. Seeing that he had come to his senses, he continued: "There was a military coup in the Yue and Li Dynasties. Li Hongwu suddenly seized the palace by force and became the new emperor of the Yue and Li Dynasties. The new emperor claimed that his father died suddenly, but I It seems likely that he killed his father to seize the throne! All the ministers in the imperial court were purged, and many ministers who originally belonged to the old emperor had their homes confiscated and exterminated!"
Yang Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "This is the fate of being a slave! Once the master changes, he often has a bad death!" Yang Jiumei nodded with deep understanding and continued: "The last thing is about the Japanese. Information," and then looked at Yang Peng, with an inexplicable look on his face. Seeing her like this, Yang Peng was moved and asked, "Did something unexpected happen to the Japanese?"
"Taira Kiyomori was assassinated, and now Taira Kiyomori's power has collapsed!"
Yang Peng was surprised, "What? Ping Qingmori is dead? Is this news reliable?"
Yang Jiumei said: "The information came from our people, so there should be no problem. It is said that Taira Kiyomori got a very charming and stunning woman not long ago, called Tamamo no Mae. Taira Kiyomori was fascinated by her, and from then on No more directors.”
Yang Peng smiled and said: "The spring night is short and the sun is rising. From now on, the king will not go to court early."
Yang Jiumei rolled her eyes at Yang Peng charmingly, and continued with a serious look: "Not long after, Taira Kiyomori suddenly died suddenly, but the Tamamo Zaomae disappeared. It is said that Taira Kiyomori died naked on the bed, with a gun inserted in his chest. The sharp blade was obviously killed suddenly when he was extremely happy. And Tamamo Mae disappeared mysteriously, so Tamamo Mae is the biggest suspect in the assassination of Taira Kiyomori."
Yang Peng said: "After Taira Kiyomori's death, his subordinates were leaderless and in chaos. And the Japanese prince took this opportunity to suddenly launch a full-scale counterattack. Taira Kiyomori's subordinates must have died, fled and surrendered."
Yang Jiumei nodded and said: "That's right. According to the intelligence, most of Taira Kiyomori's subordinates surrendered, some died in the battle, and a small number retreated to the northeast and continued to resist. However, with the current situation, the Japanese prince has already After controlling the general situation of our country, resistance will only last for a while, and sooner or later the Japanese prince will annihilate him!"
Yang Peng stroked Yang Jiumei's smooth skin, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is there no problem with my people?"
Yang Jiumei shook her head and said: "Such a thing happened before they started taking action, so they were not exposed."
Yang Peng said: "Immediately give them an order to continue lurking. They cannot act rashly without my order." Yang Jiumei nodded.
Yang Peng continued: "I think it is necessary to contact the remaining forces of Ping Qingsheng." Yang Jiumei asked: "Do you want to use them?" Yang Peng nodded. Yang Jiumei frowned and said: "I'm afraid they have little use value." Yang Peng said: "It's not a bad thing to get in touch first. Use them if they are useful, and leave them if they are useless. We won't lose anything." Yang Peng nodded.
Yang Peng thought: "Prince Yongren! This boy is not simple! He was responsible for the previous Liao-Japanese Alliance, which caused us a lot of losses! Previously, the Japanese political power was almost entirely in the hands of Taira Kiyomori. He doesn’t have much room to develop, and now that almost all of Japan has fallen into his hands, I’m afraid there will be bigger moves!”
Yang Jiumei said: "This is not necessarily a bad thing. In terms of geographical conditions, if the Japanese want to expand, they must first seize the Kingdom of Koryo, and then they can take the next step. In addition, now our Yanyun Kingdom is strong and prosperous, and the military is at its peak. It was mighty and invincible. On the other hand, the Liao Kingdom was far from its original power. Although it successively annexed Mongolia and Goryeo, it suffered heavy losses and its treasury was empty. It is obvious that Yanyun is strong and Jin is weak. Therefore, if the Japanese want to expand, they will most likely go to war with the Liao people and seize Goryeo. We can just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of the fishermen."
Yang Peng nodded and said: "This is very likely! But this matter is also very uncertain! We want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. The Liao and Japanese people should also be able to imagine it. Will they because of us? We must join forces to share a common threat? This must be considered!”
Yang Jiumei nodded and thought: "If my predictions are correct, the Japanese envoys will be sent to Liao and our country in the near future for the purpose of testing."
Yang Peng smiled slightly and said, "This is an opportunity that can be taken advantage of."
Yang Jiumei smiled and said: "Since they came to test us, we will use their tricks." Yang Peng smiled and nodded.
Yang Jiumei remembered something and said, "The exiled emperor of Goryeo is in Yanjing now. Do you want to see him?"
Yang Peng thought for a while and said, "I won't see you for now. Let's talk about it after I meet the Queen Mother of Liao Kingdom." Yang Jiumei understood what Yang Peng meant and nodded.
At the same time, in Kyoto, our country. The Japanese crown prince Yongren is discussing matters with ministers.
Fujiwara Narikichi said excitedly: "Now we, Japan, are about to be unified. It's really exciting!" Everyone couldn't help but smile. Fujiwara Shimitsu sighed: "His Royal Highness, the wise and powerful god, is just like the arrival of Amaterasu. , our Yamato nation is destined to rise!" Everyone nodded excitedly in agreement.
Yongren said solemnly: "We, the Yamato nation, are the chosen people and the best race on earth! We should not be satisfied with unifying Japan! This is just our starting place. We are the people of Amaterasu. , it is our unshirkable sacred duty to spread the light of Amaterasu to every corner of the earth!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but stand in awe.
Yongren continued: "What we have to consider now is how to defeat those inferior races and how to give the people of Amaterasu a better place to live!"
Honda Tadashi stood up and said excitedly: "Your Highness, please give the order! The last general is willing to be the vanguard, and he will die even if he wants to die!" Other generals also asked for orders, and for a while, the roars of wild beasts were heard in the hall. It was like seeing flesh and blood.
Seeing the high morale of the generals, Yongren was very satisfied and nodded. Then he motioned for everyone to sit down, glanced at everyone, and said: "This task will definitely not be easy! Now that Yan Yun has unified the Central Plains and established an empire, it will not be easy to defeat them! Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, even the Liao Kingdom, Easy to deal with!" Honda Tadakatsu shouted: "No matter how powerful the enemy is, we can defeat it!" All the generals agreed, and Tatsumoto Kazuo shouted: "Only powerful enemies can demonstrate the bravery of our Yamato warriors!"
Yongren was very happy that his subordinates could have such courage, but his face was still stern and did not show any joy. He said: "We Yamato warriors are the bravest warriors in the world, and we are the people chosen by God. No one is ours." Opponent! The reason why Taira Kiyomori's tribe was defeated earlier was because the enemy attacked with ten times the strength. Although our warriors are the most valiant warriors, they cannot defeat ten of them one by one, so they were defeated!" Everyone present heard this. , I thought in my heart that this is what happened. Whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Liao people, they all won with the human sea tactic. At this thought, everyone's faces showed a look of incomparable indignation.
Yongren continued: "As the saying goes, a sect cannot stand against a pack of wolves! Although our Yamato warriors are invincible in the world, the enemy is outnumbered. Even if we win, we will suffer huge losses! Therefore, to defeat the enemy, we also need a strategy. You need to be well prepared and don’t rush it!”
Everyone felt that His Highness the Crown Prince's words were very reasonable and couldn't help but nodded. Fujiwara Narumi said: "Your Highness, you are the reincarnation of Amaterasu, and all of us must obey your guidance!" Everyone else showed an expression of obedience.
Yongren glanced at everyone and said: "We have to do two things now. First, recuperate and accumulate strength. Due to the rebellion of Ping Qingsheng, our country's vitality has been greatly damaged, and we need to recuperate and at the same time save enough for the great holy war in the future. Strength. This strength is in all aspects. The expansion and training of the army are naturally the top priority, and it also includes the development and reserve of various heavy weapons. If our Yamato nation wants to defeat those inferior nations, the first thing we must do is to restore our strong The navy. As long as the navy can completely defeat the Yanyun Navy, the balance of war will tip to us!"
Everyone whispered among themselves, and Shimazu Shigehao, the commander of the Japanese navy, asked excitedly: "Your Highness plans to rebuild the navy?"
Yongren nodded and said categorically: "This is necessary! The navy fleet must be rebuilt at all costs, and it must be stronger than before, so powerful that it wants to defeat the Yanyun Navy! As long as the Yanyun Navy can be defeated, It is equivalent to cutting off an arm of Yanyun, and it will put our army in a very advantageous position. Our army can rely on the sea control held by the navy to attack the coastal areas of Yanyun at will! I have already formulated the 'wolf attack tactics', and I am just waiting Our navy can be put into practice by completely defeating the Yanyun Navy! The 'Wolf Raid Tactics' means that our elite warrior troops rely on the navy to continuously raid cities along the Yanyun coast, plunder supplies and populations, and continue to nourish us with their flesh and blood. themselves, and at the same time, they will continue to be depleted and weakened in such raids! The coastal area is the most important place for the Yanyun people's economy, and the 'wolf attack tactic' can achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone! We will become stronger and stronger, They will become weaker and weaker! Of course, the premise of all this is that we must rebuild a strong navy and defeat the Yanyun Navy in one battle!"
Shimazu Shigehao left his seat and bowed to Yugihito: "I will fight to the death to fulfill His Highness's strategic intention!"
Kazuo Tatsumoto mocked: "This kind of thing can't just be said! Don't make the same mistake again! It doesn't matter if your Excellency is defeated again, but if this will cause a setback to His Highness's grand plan, you can't do it even if you disembowel yourself ten times." Atonement!”
Shimazu Shigehao said angrily: "The last time was just because they fell into the Yanyun people's trick. They will never have such good luck again!" Ryumoto Kazuo smiled coldly.
Yonghito said to Shimazu Shigego: "I believe that you can understand your shame and then be brave. In the next battle, you will be able to wash away your shame and avenge your hatred!" Shimazu Shigehao said very excitedly: "I will never disappoint His Highness's expectations!" Yongren nodded, Shimazu Shigehao returned to his seat and sat down.
Yonghito said to Fujiwara Narichika: "You will be responsible for rebuilding the navy!" Fujiwara Narichika respectfully cheered. Yongren said: "Let's go to the shipyard together later. I have some ideas to discuss with the technicians!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
