Yang Lin was Yang Gao's imperial uncle. In terms of seniority, no one in the entire Sui Dynasty could compare with him, and Wang Zhen was also convinced of his martial arts.
When he proposed to accept Wang Zhen as his adopted son, Wang Zhen agreed without any hesitation: "It is a blessing for ordinary people to be valued by the prince!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Yang Lin smiled and stroked his beard and said: "From now on, you will be the sixth eunuch of my king. Now that the Luoyang war is coming, you will temporarily stay here like Lu Fang and Xue Liang. Serve as a lieutenant beside me, and with your ability you will definitely stand out in this war!"
Wang Xun turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and saluted with his hands in his hands: "My dear, thank you foster father for your support!"
. . . . . . . . . .
Yang Lin's acceptance of Wang Zhen as his adopted son was just an episode in the Sui army's march. Soon Yang Lin rushed back with a group of people, leading the sergeants to march northward non-stop.
At the same time, Yang Gao also led a group of civil and military generals such as Yuwen Chengdu, Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling, Yang Miaozhen, Shi Bao, Cheng Yaojin, You Junda and 30,000 elites to cross the Yangtze River in a mighty way. Go north. Banners cover the sky, hunting in the wind, dust covers the sky, swords and guns cover the sun.
Ten days later, Yang Gao's army crossed the entire Central Plains and reached the front line of Hulao Pass.
The patron king Yang Lin and his army had arrived two days earlier, so Xue Rengui had already made preparations to pick him up in the past two days. As soon as he received the news of Yang Gao's arrival, he immediately led his generals to greet him: "I am here to see your majesty. !”
"My dear friends, I am exempted from the courtesy!" Yang Gao sat on the horse and waved his hand with a smile, "The soldiers of the puppet Tang Dynasty pressed forward. Thanks to the generals who sacrificed their lives and the soldiers fought to the death, Luoyang was saved."
Xue Rengui and other generals all raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are ridiculous. It is the duty of an minister to be loyal to the country!"
Yang Gao nodded slightly, exchanged a few words with the generals, got off his horse, and walked into the tent surrounded by Xue Rengui and other generals.
In the big tent, pigs and sheep were slaughtered in the dining room, and a banquet had been prepared for Yang Gao and others to wash away the dust. At present, the monarch and his ministers were sitting in order of priority, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
The generals from the Central Plains and the generals who had just arrived from Jiangdu toasted to each other. Whether they had known each other before or just met them, they all became good brothers after a few glasses of wine and exchanged greetings and greetings. Especially the two boys, Chang Mao and Xue Kui, who had been listening to Gao Chong talking about Yu Wen Chengdu's martial arts skills before, now they have been talking non-stop around Yu Wen Chengdu.
Halfway through the drinking session, Xue Rengui suddenly remembered something, so he raised his hands and said to Yang Gao: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to your Majesty."
Yang Gao was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that something big had happened before he arrived at Hulao Pass. He immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Xue Qing, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's not a big deal." Xue Rengui smiled at first, making Yang Gao feel at ease. Then he started talking about the matter: "The thing is like this. After Meng Gong put down Wang Xuanying's mutiny, he imprisoned some officials in Luoyang City who were closely related to Wang Shichong, Wang Xuanying and his son. Others were pretty good, except for one named Yang Guozhong. He cried out every day and declared that he was not guilty."
"Since he is complaining, let's have someone investigate him in detail. If he is really wronged, just let him go." Yang Guozhong's fourth dimension is really too pitiful, so when Yang Gao heard his name, he didn't even think about it. No other ideas, just discussing the matter.
Xue Rengui gave a bitter smile and said: "Your Majesty, the matter doesn't end there. After he complained about injustice, Zeng Guo Pan Zeng, the minister, re-investigated and found his allegiance letter from Wang Shichong's mansion. In the face of irrefutable evidence, he stopped crying about injustice, but changed his story. I am willing to atone for my sins and offer treasures to His Majesty."
"There is a treasure he wants to dedicate to me." Yang Gao's brows jumped slightly when he heard this, and he suddenly became interested: "I wonder what kind of treasure he wants to dedicate to me?"
Xue Rengui shook his head helplessly, "If he could produce the treasure, he would have presented it to His Majesty long ago. The key is that after being sent by Zeng Guopan, this man declared that he would never reveal the treasure unless he saw His Majesty. "
"Could the treasure he wants to donate be his sister Yang Yuhuan?" Yang Gao thought for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to him, and he suddenly felt that everything suddenly made sense: "If the treasure he mentioned is really Yang Yuhuan, That thing makes sense. Yang Yuhuan was a beautiful woman. He was worried that someone in the army would rebel after seeing her beauty and kidnap Yang Yuhuan halfway, which would ruin his plan. That's why he insisted on seeing me before revealing the treasure. "
Yang Gao couldn't help but get a little excited when he thought that he would very likely get the famous Concubine Yang. The graceful and plump figure of Yang Yuhuan appeared uncontrollably in front of her eyes. Her hair fell down like a waterfall, her skin was like snow, her lips were greased, and her every frown and smile was full of charm.
Yang Gao considers himself not a pervert, but if a beautiful woman comes to his door, he will never become Liu Xiahui. What's more, the person who came to her door was one of the four beauties in China, and the other three beauties, Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, and Diao Chan, were said to have missed out on Yang Gao due to the system. Things are rare and valuable, and Yang Gao's desire for Yang Yuhuan is far greater than that of other beauties.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yang Gao slowly said, "If that's the case, then I'll go see him. Is there nothing big going on?"
At that moment, Yang Gao and Xue Rengui came out of the tent together. The generals in the tent were chatting happily. Seeing Yang Gao leave, the chat among each other became even more lively.
Not long after, Yang Guozhong was brought to Yang Gao's imperial tent.
"The sinner Yang Guozhong pays homage to your majesty. I wish your majesty good health!" Yang Guozhong knew before he came that it was Yang Gao who had summoned him. As soon as he entered the imperial tent, he knelt down on the ground and respectfully knelt down to Yang Gaosan nine times before performing the ritual. A big gift.
"No need to pay tribute." Yang Gao waved his hand lightly and went straight to the topic: "Yang Guozhong, I heard General Xue said that you had a treasure to donate to me, but you had to see me before you said it clearly. I don't know what kind of treasure it is? "
Yang Guozhong slowly took out a transparent gemstone the size of a fist from his arms: "Your Majesty, this is the treasure that the guilty minister wants to present to Your Majesty."
"What, this is the treasure you want to give me?" Yang Gao's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted angrily: "There are as many stones as this in Jiangdu Palace, Yang Guozhong, you actually show them in front of me. ?”
"No, no, your Majesty, the guilty minister hasn't finished speaking yet."
Seeing Yang Gao's thunderous rage, Yang Guozhong suddenly turned pale with fear and hurriedly said: "What the guilty minister is going to present to Your Majesty is a treasure house, and this gem is just one of the more precious items in this treasure house."
"Treasure house?" Yang Gao glanced at Yang Guozhong suspiciously and said in a deep voice: "Yang Guozhong, don't try to trick me, otherwise, I will definitely destroy your nine tribes for deceiving the king!"
"The guilty minister would never dare to deceive Your Majesty." Yang Guozhong's face had turned pale, and he did not dare to conceal the origin of this treasure house: "Your Majesty, to be honest, this treasure house was built by Yang Xuangan. At the beginning, Yang Xuan felt that The situation was over, so I buried the money I had gained from raiding homes and exterminating clans after revolting and buried it deep in Mang Mountain, and gave it to the guilty minister's uncle to take care of. My uncle died of illness five years ago, and he informed the guilty minister about this before his death."
"I see." Yang Gao nodded and said, "But now that the Luoyang War is about to begin, I am unable to deal with this matter for the time being. After the war is over, I will send people to Mang Mountain to retrieve the treasure. If what you said is true, I will definitely I will reward you and forgive your previous sins.”
Yang Guozhong hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty first."
Yang Gao nodded slightly, then turned his attention to the gem in Yang Guozhong's hand, and said: "I think the stone in your hand is of average quality and is barely worth dozens of dollars. How can you say it's precious?" Woolen cloth?"
Yang Guozhong replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, although this gem is of ordinary quality, its origin is not simple. I heard from my uncle that this gem suddenly fell from the sky when Yang Xuangan raised his army, and it was considered auspicious by Yang Xuangan at that time!"
"What a joke, if the auspiciousness comes from the sky, Yang Xuangan will end up defeated and dead?" Yang Gao sneered and said: "That's all, for the sake of your dedication to offering the treasure, I will reluctantly accept it. .”
Yang Guozhong was overjoyed when he heard this and did not dare to neglect. He stepped forward in two and three steps, carefully placed the stone in front of Yang Gao's desk, and then slowly stepped back.
"There is no auspiciousness in this world. It was probably Yang Xuangan's trick to deceive people." Yang Gao snorted disdainfully in his heart and reached out to pick up the stone. But unexpectedly, when Yang Gao reached out and touched the stone, the system in his mind suddenly turned white, and the system voice that sounded in his ears at the same time was filled with a hint of joy: "Ding dong, the system has received what was lost before. The database of some general data is being updated..."
