Relying on the red charcoal fire, eating hot pot and drinking wine, Yang Guang felt as hot as if he was on fire. He pulled open his collar a little and said, "I came to you to talk about the Three Kingdoms." "You can tell me all your troubles and happy things to make me happy."
"..." Yang Ji was helpless. He was talking about the Three Kingdoms in a good way, but you asked, "What are the shortcomings of my Sui Dynasty?" Now, he is worried again.
Really.
Empress Xiao covered her mouth and smiled softly. She glanced at Yang Guang with her beautiful eyes and asked Yang Ji in a solemn voice: "King Kong slave, in your story, what was the final fate of Wen Hou Lu Bu?"
"Sister-in-law actually pays attention to Lu Bu?" After Yang Ji asked, he realized that before Zhao Zilong came out of Shijiazhuang, Baotou Lu Bu was dressed in a beast-faced head-swallowing chain armor, wearing a three-pronged purple gold crown, and holding a Fangtian painted halberd. , is undoubtedly a heartthrob in the eyes of female readers, indeed more popular than others.
Empress Xiao said in a clear voice: "Lü Bu has no loyal heart. It is not an exaggeration to call him a slave of the three surnames in the sentence above. However, he is in charge of Hulao Pass on his own, and his martial arts is unparalleled in the world. He is also a hero of his generation."
"Chen Shou said, 'Although Bu is brave, he has no plan and is full of suspicion. He cannot control his party, but he trusts the generals. The generals have different opinions and doubts, so they are defeated in every battle.'" Yang Ji said with a smile: " From this we can see that he is a foolhardy person, how can such a person become a hero?"
Empress Xiao seemed to have become Lu Bu's fan. She frowned unconvinced, stared at Yang Ji with shining eyes, and asked: "Who can be a hero in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
As soon as these words came out, not only did Yang Guang put down his wine glass, Yang Zhao also looked at Yang Ji.
Yang Ji pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "'A hero is a man who has great ambitions, a good plan, the opportunity to hide the universe, and the ambition of the world.' How can Lu Bu be regarded as a hero?"
After carefully reading these words, Yang Guang's family was slightly shocked and deeply touched. Queen Xiao quickly asked: "Lü Bu alone blocked the Guandong princes in Hulao, so he can't be called a hero, so who can be called a hero? Is it Yuan Shao of Hebei?" ?”
"Hebei Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince, has many old officials. However, Yuan Shao is a timid and timid person, good at planning but not decisive; he cherishes his life when he does big things, and ignores his life when he sees small profits: he is not a hero." Yang Ji was afraid that he would not be a hero again. After further questioning, even the story of talking about heroes with green plums came out, so he stopped showing off and said with a smile: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is like talking about heroes, only Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde."
Queen Xiao said in surprise: "Are they Liu Bei and Cao Cao?"
"Exactly!" Yang Ji nodded and said: "Liu Bei had bad luck and had a rough life. However, he suffered repeated defeats and battles, and was as strong as a rock. In the end, he divided the world into three parts and won one of them. He can be regarded as a hero. Cao Cao made false edicts to attack Dong and the Eastern Expedition. Defeat the west, restore stability to the Central Plains, and achieve Wei Wu's hegemony. Naturally, he is a hero. If the Han Dynasty is careless, how many people in the world will be called emperors and how many will be called kings?"
"What a saying, 'If the Han Dynasty had no integrity, how many people in the world would be emperors and kings?' Domineering!" Yang Guang clapped his legs and exclaimed.
Yang Zhao glanced at his father and said, "Azu is very similar to Emperor Wu of Wei, and they are in the same situation."
When everyone thought about it carefully, they really looked alike.
Regardless of their talents and strategies, or their situations when they were prime ministers, they are all similar. However, it is difficult to compare the images carefully, otherwise it will be embarrassing.
Although when Yang Jian was still alive, he occasionally joked that he was a rare corrupt official in history who had corrupted the Yuwen clan. However, as a junior, how could he make irresponsible remarks about his deceased elders?
Just be aware of it.
After a moment of silence, Yang Guang talked about state affairs again. He poured himself a glass of wine, raised it to his mouth, and said with a smile: "King Kong slave, you went to Liangzhou for a few months, and then you took over the Great Lakes area and replaced me in the Sui Dynasty. Annihilating a hundred thousand Turkic troops, and then bringing the war to Madam Fan City and the vicinity of the Turkic Northern Khan's Court... Frightened Qimin and brought his son to the capital to apologize, haha, it's really satisfying."
"Brother, what did Qimin say?" Yang Ji asked.
"What else can I say?" Yang Guang chuckled: "It's nothing more than an apology, saying that Li Fushu made the decision without authorization, and then showed an attitude of letting him do whatever he wants, whether to hit or kill."
Yang Ji asked again: "What do you plan to do with me, brother?"
Yang Guang said: "Because of you, the Turks have become unfamiliar to the Turks, Captain Sun Sheng, and cannot understand the context. I am not sure, but there are two theories now, one is to kill or detain, the other is to release When their father and son go back, which one do you agree with?"
"Put him back!" Yang Ji said: "Qimin is old and half-dead from illness. Even if he is let back, the corrupt situation in the Turks will drag him to death. Ashina Qilifushe is an ambitious man, although he is strong. Great loss, but if Brother A hints something, he will definitely go back and fight Ashina Duji. The harder they fight, the more beneficial it will be to me, Sui Dynasty."
Hearing this, Yang Guang said happily: "If this is the case, they will definitely have a battle, and in this battle, no matter who among them is the winner, I, the Sui Dynasty, will be the biggest winner. This plan of Vajra Slave will benefit the country and the world. Just drink this cup to the full!"
"It's just an imitation of Dong Shi!" Yang Ji raised his wine glass, drank a drink with Yang Guang, and then said: "As long as Qimin is alive, Ashina Duji will not dare to do anything to Ashina Qi Lifu. During this period, it is Ashina There is a good opportunity for Schnacheri to develop again; we don't need to intervene here, just wait and see what happens; they have suffered a lot from us, and if they find out that we are repeating our same tricks and deliberately provoking them, it will be self-defeating. etc. Now that Qimin is gone, we will continue to support the weaker party as appropriate."
"That's it." Yang Guang pondered for a while, then said with a smile: "Qimin is still planning to get married."
"Go and have your spring and autumn dreams!" Yang Ji laughed coldly!
"This time the marriage is coming in the opposite direction. He plans to marry the princess." Yang Guang looked at Yang Ji and said, "The marriage partner is you."
Yang Ji was stunned for a moment, but still shook his head and refused: "That won't work either."
Yang Guang was amused: "But why?"
"It's mainly related to the situation in the East Turks." Yang Ji explained: "The East Turks are a little out of control now, and all the Tiele tribes are ready to move. If he accepts Qimin's proposal for peace, he can pretend to be powerful and unify the East Turks. If not If we get married, Qimin will not be able to take advantage of my power in the Sui Dynasty; and the Eastern Turks will gradually form a confrontation between the two Turkic princes, and the confrontation between the Turks and Tiele."
"Listening to what you said, this kiss is indeed irreconcilable." Yang Guang's eyes lit up and he nodded frequently.
A few words set the tone for the Turks. After nearly half an hour of eating, the hot pot meal was finally over. At midnight, the so-called "night talk by candlelight" broke up. After all, whether it was Yang Guang or Yang Zhao, they had a lot of things to deal with tomorrow morning, and they were not as busy as Yang Ji.
I heard that Yang Ji believed it was true and sent all the guards back because of his joke. Yang Guang was both amused and moved, so he offered to let him stay in the palace, but Yang Ji declined.
Yang Guang did not force himself, and handed Cao Li a ban that could be called the opening of the square gate, and asked him to arrange a team of guards to escort Yang Ji back to the palace, and let Yang Zhao be sent out of the palace.
Yang Zhao said as he walked: "Uncle Wang, Aye has already told me about the bandits in Guanzhong, and asked me to cover up the situation."
"This is my suggestion." Yang Ji glanced at Yang Zhao and said, "Brother, have you told me your deeper intentions?"
"Say it!" Yang Zhao sighed longly: "Since my ancestor's death, thieves in Guanzhong have been swarming and disturbing the place. In addition to Huashan, the same is true in Weinan and Huayin counties... This is also the case in Yongzhou where the capital is located, Shangzhou, Tongzhou, etc. Zhouzhou, Qizhou, Binzhou, Jingzhou, Fuzhou and other states can be imagined.”
Yang Zhao was silent for a moment, then looked up at Yang Ji who was walking side by side, and said worriedly: "The timing of the appearance of these bandits coincides with the opportunity of the Fifth Uncle's rebellion; when I accepted the sacred mission to suppress the bandits in the capital, I made a special trip to ask Uncle Yiqian, I want to know if these thieves are related to him."
After Yang Liang was escorted to Beijing, he was deposed as a citizen. Originally, Yang Guang put him under house arrest in the former Han Dynasty Palace in the capital, but soon after, countless dead soldiers sneaked into the palace one after another, trying to kill Yang Liang .
There is no need to guess that these deeds were done by those who supported his rebellion. After all, they spent countless money, food, and slaves to support Yang Liang, and they also sent many ordinary people to directly participate in the war. But after the war ended, Yang Liang had nothing to do with him, and all of their children and family members were wiped out. How could he not hate Yang Liang to the bone?
If Yang Liang dies, he can still blame Yang Guang, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
In addition, Yang Xiu was also assassinated many times in the mansion.
For safety reasons, Yang Guang brought Yang Liang and Yang Xiu into the palace and set aside two large palaces for them to live.
Yang Ji frowned and asked, "What did Yi Qian say?"
Yang Zhao replied: "He said it had nothing to do with him."
"I don't think it's likely to benefit Qian, just because he handed over all the evidence of his crime to me. What should be said was also told to my brother afterwards." Yang Ji pondered for a long time and said solemnly: "There is another thing. , you may not know: On our way to Beijing, we were ambushed by multiple groups of assassins. The people behind these assassins clearly wanted to kill people and silence them, so as not to let the money leak out. "
Yang Ji didn't know about these things that happened in the capital, and he still thought that he was under house arrest.
"I also believe what the fifth uncle said, and I also agree with Uncle Wang's judgment." Yang Zhao paused and smiled bitterly: "Just because the fifth uncle was in the house, he was assassinated by assassins more than ten times, and the fourth uncle was also assassinated. Ah Ye was worried that their deaths would be unknown, so he connected them to the palace."
"That's good." Yang Ji nodded, and seeing that Yang Zhao was frowning and worried, he asked, "Why are you looking so sad?"
"The bandits in Gyeonggi are not easy, and it is difficult to wipe them out. But now you and Aye have decided to use the bandits as bait to catch more big fish." At this point, Yang Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "I am very stressed. big."
Yang Ji smiled and said: "There are more bandits in Liangzhou and they are more fierce. Haven't they been wiped out by us? What are you afraid of?"
"Can it be the same?" Yang Zhao said angrily: "The bandits in Liangzhou work together, and those in Guanzhong are most likely a group. After the capital is moved, there may be more. And I only have 30,000 elite soldiers, so why Can you come over?"
Yang Ji glanced around and said in a low voice: "The nature of suppressing bandits has changed. Besides, Guanzhong also needs a large army to guard it. Brother, I will definitely leave some elite troops to help you."
"I also expected this." Yang Zhao paused and then said: "But I don't have any good generals. How about you lend me some generals?"
"It's okay to lend you someone, but the generals under my command are not familiar with the terrain in Guanzhong and may not be able to help you." Yang Ji thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a person, and smiled maliciously: "But there is one person very suitable?"
Yang Zhao's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Who is Uncle Wang talking about?"
Yang Ji whispered: "Yu Wenshu!"
Yu Wenshu is capable and his re-emergence is irreversible. If he helps Yang Zhaoqing suppress the bandits in Guanzhong, it will be a good thing for the country, but it will be just the icing on the cake for him. But if the crackdown is not complete, Yang Guang, who was already worried about him because of the martial arts fraud case, will definitely be disappointed.
Moreover, as Yang Guang said during the day, the Guanzhong thieves and the Liangzhou thieves are fundamentally different. How can they be so easy to eliminate?
The pros and cons are very obvious here, so Yang Ji recommended Yu Wenshu to Yang Zhao.
Doesn't Yang Guang hope they can reconcile?
Fortunately, I was also "generous" for once.
Yang Zhao's face changed slightly and he said in surprise: "Why is it him?"
"Why can't it be him?" Yang Ji asked back and said sternly: "Except for his character, there is no doubt about Yu Wenshu's ability. He has just come back now, and he dreams of a good turnaround. If he can When he takes orders under your account, he will definitely work hard. With his experience in hundreds of battles, it shouldn't be difficult to suppress the bandits."
Yang Zhao looked at Yang Ji funny and asked, "Uncle Wang, are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious!" Yang Ji sighed, looked ahead, and said in a tone of concern for the country and the people: "All civil and military officials serve as ministers in the same palace, working together for the Sui Dynasty and sharing the worries of brother, but they fight in private There are so many fights, and some of them are just political opinions, with good intentions. But unfortunately, more fights are about personal interests and grudges. This leads to officials who want to do practical things, not only facing the difficulties of governing, but also dealing with There are constraints from above and below, criticism from colleagues, and most of the problems in the world are caused by this. If everyone in the court works together to overcome the difficulties, why worry about the world being unrest?"
Speaking of this, Yang Ji smiled to himself: "As the children of the royal family, we are closely related to the fate of the Great Sui Dynasty. Only if the Great Sui Dynasty is good, we will be good. So although I dislike Yu Wenshu very much, I cannot oppose it for the sake of opposition, let alone You can’t deny Yu Wenshu’s abilities, achievements, and good remedies just because of past festivals.”
When Yang Zhao heard the words, he was in awe. These words had a certain pattern, otherwise speaking ill of people behind their back would be unfair after all.
He thought for a while and then said: "Since Uncle Wang said so, I will report Uncle Wang's suggestions to Aye tomorrow."
Yang Ji nodded: "Yeah! You can figure it out yourself!"
As he spoke, he had already left Changle Gate, the south gate of the palace city. Going further, he reached Jiafu Gate, the south gate of the East Palace.
Seeing that Yang Zhao was planning to send him out of Yanxi Gate, Yang Ji said, "It's getting late. You have to go to court and handle official duties tomorrow, so there's no need to send him away. I'll rest for a few days and then I'll teach you my experience in suppressing bandits." "
Yang Zhao responded and said goodbye to Yang Ji.
After Yang Ji boarded the carriage prepared by Cao Li and drove out, Yang Zhao's eyes were still in trance, and he sighed softly for a long time.
In fact, there is an important matter that I want to discuss with Yang Ji: he doesn't really want to stay in Daxing and suppress the bandits in Guanzhong, because after he is far away from his parents, it is a God-given opportunity for Qi King Yang Jian.
