Daxing City is like a big chessboard spread out on the ground. If the twenty-five criss-crossing main streets are lines, and the 109 squares, Liren City, commonly known as the West City, and the urban city commonly known as the East City are grids on a chessboard; then the people living in each square are One chess piece after another.
Yang Ji and his team, which they had put together along the way, also lost their common goal when they arrived at Daxing City. After entering the city from the Jinguang Gate of the main west gate, everyone cherished each other and went their separate ways.
When they arrived at the north gate of the West City, Xue Ju also arrived at his destination. He glanced at the lonely master and servant Yang Ji and asked, "Brother Yang, where are you going?"
Yang Ji cupped his hands and said, "Go to Prince Wei's Mansion."
Xue Ju shook his head in disbelief and advised earnestly: "Brother Yang, cheating is not a long-term solution. You'd better find a job. As long as you are down-to-earth and diligent, you will be able to take root in Daxing City." .”
"I also want to work down-to-earth and diligently, but conditions don't allow it." Yang Ji sighed helplessly.
Xue Ju laughed: "Isn't it easy to be a good person?"
"You don't understand my troubles." Yang Ji shook his head. He had the status and wealth that many people dreamed of since he was born. He even had his mother to help him count the money. Besides being a bad boy, what else could he do?
To seize the kingdom of the great devil Yang Guang?
It would be better to let him die directly.
"My wife is very strict at home, so I can't give you too much money. If you can't stay in the capital, come to me at Xishi Pihang Jincheng Trading Company." Xue Ju, who was moved by compassion, took out two strings of copper coins and stuffed them in Yang Ji held it in his hands, and without waiting for him to speak, he drove the ox cart into the north gate of the West Market.
Yang Ji looked at the place where Xue Ju left, then looked at the two strings of copper coins in his hand, and whispered: "Xishi Pihang Jincheng Trading Company, I remember..."
"Sir, this Xue Ju gives two strings of money as soon as he makes a move. He is really generous."
A string of money is one hundred Kaihuang five bahts strung on a string; the Kaihuang five baht has high purchasing power, and these two strings of money are enough for an average person to live for about ten days. However, Xue Ju did not blink his eyes and gave it to one person. It’s no wonder Zhu Can said this as a person who will never meet again in his lifetime.
"In the eyes of rich people, two strings of money may be two toilet tickets." Yang Ji put the copper coins in his bag and continued eastward.
"Young Master." Zhu Can followed up with a trembling fat body and looked at Yang Ji with a silly smile on his face.
Yang Ji asked in confusion: "What happened again?"
Zhu Canshe followed the stick and said, "Can you give me a few more 'toilet tickets' every month from now on?"
"Fat man, your salary is not low anymore." Yang Ji looked at the big fat man speechlessly. His servants were divided into nine grades. For each grade, the salary was tripled. The fat man was already in the fifth grade, and his income exceeded him. There are definitely less than 400 people.
"I found that I could get double portions." Zhu Can said bravely.
"Besides cooking, what else can you do?"
"I can fight."
"Can you give me a spanking?" It was okay if I didn't mention this. But Yang Ji got angry when he mentioned this: "I think you can get a spanking."
"That's what I mean by being able to beat." Zhu Can glanced at the birds in the sky and said leisurely and fascinated: "It was really painful when I was beaten at first, but later, my body became lighter and more flexible. If I was beaten every day After a while, maybe I can fly in the future.”
"..." Yang Ji was speechless. Because Zhu Can seems to be a bit mean, but it actually conforms to the principles of learning martial arts. Take himself as an example. After returning home from the palace, he went out to fight every day and practiced with the generals in the army from time to time. Now he is like a wild beast. Once he senses danger coming, his body can react instinctively without the command of his brain. At first glance, When the opponent lifts his legs and punches, he knows where the punches and kicks are coming from, and knows how to dodge, counterattack, send and receive, and strike first. If Zhu Can's instinctive reaction is suppressed, and he has the courage and calmness to face the danger directly, and then replaces the kitchen knife with a horizontal knife, and replaces the roasted sheep with a human, with his knife skills, eyesight, accuracy, and control of sending and receiving freely, Maybe he was a magnificent swordsman.
Thinking of this, Yang Ji asked quite emotionally: "Fat man, how many cooks are there in the house who are as good as you in knife skills?"
"Twenty-three." Zhu Can usually discussed and learned from each other with the cooks in the mansion, and gave all the exact answers without hesitation.
"The group that came from the palace with you?" Four years ago, Yang Jian and Queen Dugu gave Yang Ji countless dowries, including 120 maids and 120 young ladies. Servants, one hundred and twenty cooks/cooks.
Zhu Can nodded and said: "Exactly."
"I understand." Yang Ji nodded and decided to let these people fight with the guards in the mansion after returning to the mansion. Maybe they could fight some powerful swordsmen.
"What about this 'toilet sign'?" Zhu Can asked hehey.
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Although Yang Ji is not yet a master, he also knows that the Palace of Prince Wei can manage a large number of slaves, maids, guards, shop servants, farm villagers, and tenants, all thanks to my mother's strict and fair system. You can't break this set of rules just because of a fat man's words.
"Thank you, sir." Zhu Can thanked him loudly.
"No need!" Yang Ji took a deep look at the cannibal devil and suddenly suspected that he had been forcibly fed human flesh by him unintentionally.
…
The two masters and servants were close to home, so they speeded up and passed the West Market and Yanshou Fang. Going eastward was directly south of the Daxing Palace Imperial City. Continuing eastward, they reached Pingkangfang where Prince Wei's palace was located.
The two of them had just walked to the Xifang Gate, which was closest to their home, when a group of people appeared a hundred steps in front of them, shouting in front of them and crowding behind them. The first person was a young man in his early thirties, with a stern face, dressed as a general, and holding firmly in his hands. He was holding a horizontal sword. Looking at the style of the scabbard, it was obvious that it was not a standard horizontal sword, but a specially made one that was specially weighted and widened. This shows that this person has good martial arts and strength.
Behind him is an eight-lift shoulder cart that is moving forward steadily; sitting on it is an old man in sixties wearing a brocade robe with a dark pattern of "Shou". Sitting on the shoulder cart, his posture is upright. This old man is tall and tall. His gray hair is neatly combed, he wears a Jinxian crown, his eyebrows are set into his temples, his eyes are deep and bright, and his face still shows the grace of his youth. Although he is dressed as a scholar, he has the majestic aura of a warrior.
There are more than thirty people behind the shoulder carriage and on the left and right sides. They are all tall and mighty, with majestic appearance and extraordinary momentum. You can tell at a glance that they are warriors who have fought in hundreds of battles. They also each hold special horizontal swords, but they are wearing fine materials. satin robe.
Zhu Can whispered: "Master, who is this? You are so majestic."
"How can Gao Jiong not be majestic?" Yang Ji ordered: "Avoid it."
Gao Jiong has asked Yang Jian to fuck him to the end, leaving only the Duke of Qi, but Gao Jiong is Gao Jiong, even if he is white, no one dares to look down upon him.
What's more, Gao Jiong's loss of official status is related to Yang Ji. How could Yang Ji dare to face Gao Jiong?
This happened in the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor. At that time, the fight between Yang Yong and Yang Guang was the most intense. In order to keep Yang Yong as crown prince, Gao Jun and others suppressed the weak Yang Guang in all aspects.
Although Yang Jian was determined to be a prince, he could not abolish Yang Yong, who had been the crown prince for twenty years, for no reason. At that time, Princess Anyi, who was pro-Eastern/Turkish Khan Qimin Khan, died of illness. Yang Yong, Gao Jiong and others They all advised Yang Jian to remarry a princess to strengthen bilateral relations. Yang Jian also intended to canonize Yang Xiong's daughter as Princess Yicheng and remarry Qimin Khan.
However, Yang Ji, who was opposed to it, went to Yang Guang. Not only did he encourage him to oppose the marriage, he also said that the peace policy was a shameful diplomacy that only came after the defeat of the Han Dynasty. If the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty understood that the source of peace was shame, those who expected war achievements The promoted generals might be eager to start a war between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks.
Yang Guang stayed in Yangzhou for ten years, and his power in the court was less than 20% as Yang Yong's, and he was troubled by expanding his power. He was greatly inspired by Yang Ji's words. He couldn't compete with Yang Yong in terms of civil servants, so he decided to win over the generals of the DPRK and China by opposing the marriage.
The next morning, Yang Guang got into a quarrel with Yang Yong and Gao Xun. Yang Ji, who was watching the fun that day, saw that they were endlessly expounding and expounding, so he directly said, "I, the Sui general, am not a man without balls. Why hide under a woman's skirt and live an ignoble existence? If marriage can bring peace, then simply disband the army and let the generals remove their armor and return to their fields."
During the Sui Dynasty, martial arts was very strong, and the national power was at an unprecedented peak. The idle military generals of the Manchu Dynasty were unwilling to die at home. If they get married again, how can they make achievements and become famous outside the country? Once stimulated by Yang Ji, they all jumped out to support Yang Guang and opposed the marriage.
Qimin Khan was the chess piece that Yang Jian supported to deal with Bujia Khan. However, this chess piece not only failed to restrain Bujia Khan, but instead sent people to call for help from time to time.
Yang Jian believed that Qimin Khan, who needed to rely on the Sui Dynasty to survive, would not dare to leave the Sui Dynasty even if he did not have a marriage relationship. At that time, he had silently helped Yang Guang build up his power. Seeing that many prestigious military generals were supporting Yang Guang, he followed Yang Guang's wishes and abolished the marriage.
As for Gao Jiong, who was unable to win over even Yang Jian, he was convicted of "engaging in humiliating diplomacy and losing national integrity" and was beaten to the end, only to return home with the title of Duke.
The courtiers knew that the so-called humiliation diplomacy was just Yang Jian's excuse, but they did not dare to say anything about Yang Jian and Yang Guang, so they attributed Gao Jiong's tragic dismissal to Yang Ji.
Although Yang Ji was not ashamed to take the blame, he did not want to deal with Gao Jiong, so he turned around and left with Zhu Can.
"Your Highness King Wei, please stay!" Yang Ji wanted to leave, but Gao Jiong had already seen him.
Yang Ji turned a deaf ear and walked decisively southward along Qixiamen Street, planning to go home through the south gate instead.
When Gao Jong saw Yang Ji running away in a panic, he was angry and funny. He sat on the shoulder cart and kept humming.
"Alang, this King of Wei is so uneducated." Yang Ji's actions made one of the guards feel worried that he was insulting his ministers.
"If he is well-educated, will he still be a playboy?"
"That's true."
"Go home."
"Aren't you going to visit Duke Yuwen?"
"Come here with excitement, and return with all your excitement. It doesn't matter whether you see Mr. Yuwen or not." Gao Jie looked at Yang Ji's retreating back and showed a meaningful smile.
