Yang Ming quietly asked Xu Jing to call Yan Xiaotang to help Yang Lihua and calm Yang Wenjin's mood.
Men coaxing women add fuel to the fire. Only women can coax women. Yang, Pei, and Chen are all in confinement, and Li Xiuning is afraid of life, so Yan Xiaotang, who is good at communication, can only come.
Moreover, Yan Xiaotang's mother has a good relationship with Yang Wenjin.
Yang Ming was indeed unhappy, but he couldn't offend his own aunt too much. If nothing else, he would not embarrass her even if it was for the sake of his grandmother Dugu Jialuo.
"Sit down, leave her alone, and let her make trouble," Yang Ming said politely to Yu Wenjing.
Yu Wen Jingli sighed helplessly and sat down cross-legged on the cushion opposite, with his head hanging down and a look of frustration on his face.
Yang Lihua and Yan Xiaotang, on the other hand, kept comforting Yang Wenjin.
In a normal family, it is definitely not like this. Yang Wenjin is the elder. Yang Ming's attitude is not like treating an elder. But for the royal family, the first thing to discuss is the inferiority. Yang Ming is the prince and the future king. How should I treat you? It's up to you.
If you dare to interfere in such a big matter, I will definitely not feel good about it.
"Okay, okay, we are all our own people in the palace now. If you have anything to say, please say it nicely," Yang Lihua persuaded: "As a family, what problems can't be solved?"
After being coaxed for a long time, Yang Wenjin calmed down a little and nodded choked with sobs.
She also knew in her heart that Yang Ming's words about killing her husband were all angry words. Could he really kill her? He doesn't have that right either.
Now that she has her eldest sister by her side to help her talk, she also hopes to have a good talk with Yang Ming. After all, there will be no results from talking with anger.
Yang Lihua winked at Yang Ming. Yang Ming received it and said:
"My uncle still knows the general trend. Sometimes, you can't act as you please. This expedition requires the whole country's efforts. Not to mention other things, the family members of the forward generals will follow. If you let my uncle hide in the capital, what will happen in the future? people?"
It was a great honor for Yang Ming to call him uncle, because the status of the consort was not high and people generally did not address each other by seniority. Liu Shu was also his uncle. When had he called him uncle?
"It's not that I don't understand the general trend," Yang Wenjin choked up: "Your uncle has been weak since he was a child, and he is different from others. You know this. Although he has been prepared for thousands of times, he knows nothing about marching. Let him Going out with the army is too far-fetched.”
Yu Wen Jingli is indeed in poor health. I heard that the root cause of the disease was caused by not paying attention when he was a child. It is not a serious illness and is not a serious problem.
Yang Ming said patiently: "The position of comfort envoy is just a follower of the army. He does not need to go into battle to kill the enemy. It is somewhat useful or even completely useless at critical times, but he can follow it and get military merit. My uncle has been doing it for so many years. Governor Yiyang, don’t you want him to enter the center?”
Of course he hoped, but Yang Wenjin felt that his husband could enter the center without military merit because he was the emperor's brother-in-law.
Unfortunately, today is different from the past. With the precedent of Liu Shu, Yang Guang is now more sensitive to the word brother-in-law.
Yang Wenjin said: "It's not that he is worried about losing on the battlefield, but that the road is bumpy and the soil and water are not suitable for him. Goguryeo is a bitter and cold place in the north, and he can't stand it."
Yang Ming looked at Yuwen Jingli: "Have you endured it?"
"It's a trivial matter, nothing important," Yu Wen Jingli looked at his wife and said, "Just let me go, otherwise it will be a lifelong regret for me."
Yang Wenjin refused to let go and completely ignored her husband's words.
As a wife, there is no saying that she should love and protect her husband and put her husband out of danger even if she offends the emperor. However, a man's thoughts and a woman's thoughts are different.
Yuwen Jingli was also a man of meritorious service and came from an aristocratic family. Didn’t he hope to make a career on his own? Is it a man's ambition to live under his wife's wings?
Therefore, many issues boil down to a conflict of positions. Yang Wenjin’s position is that her husband is good, Yu Wen Jingli hopes to make contributions, and Yang Ming’s position is the absolute authority of the superior and the overall view.
Why can't you go? Is your life worth more than someone else’s?
Yang Ming said: "Li Jing has been ordered to Luoyang. It is very likely that he will serve as the commander-in-chief of the forward army. If uncle is willing, I recommend you to be Li Jing's comfort envoy, so that you can stop that Youyou's mouth."
Yu Wen Jingli solemnly said: "I will do my duty, and I am willing to work with the forward soldiers to open up territory for our Sui Dynasty."
It's a great way to expand territory. If you think so, it's the best. We will either surrender or destroy it.
Yang Wenjin suddenly turned pale and stared at her husband in shock.
After a while, Yang Wenjin murmured: "If you go, I will follow you."
"This" Yuwen Jingli hurriedly asked Yang Ming for help, hoping that Yang Ming would help him persuade his wife.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ming said: "Okay! Aunt, let's go together."
Yang Lihua was stunned, do you really dare to agree?
What's there to be afraid of? The manager of the 24th Route and half of his family members have to go with him. Why can't Yang Wenjin go?
Yang Guang did this for two reasons. The main reason was that he had the commander's family in his hands, so they did not dare to mess around. The second reason was that he treated the expedition to Goguryeo as a tourist trip. In fact, he was too arrogant and was showing off his extravagance to show off his face, so that the Turks People know that when I fight Goguryeo, it’s just like playing.
Regarding this matter, many people in Luoyang were trying to persuade them not to bring their families with them, saying that women should not be brought into the army because it was a taboo on the march. However, Yang Guang challenged N this time and succeeded again. ,
The original words are as follows: In ancient times, it was said that women did not join the army. It was said that when there was a battle, there was no harm in the camp. Xiang Ji Yuji, that is the story.
It means that the ancients said that women cannot join the army. That means on the battlefield. If it is in the camp, it doesn't matter. Isn't that what Xiang Yu did with Yu Ji?
Yang Wenjin didn't expect that Yang Ming would really dare to agree. Can't you tell that what I said was angry?
Yang Ming continued: "Aren't you worried about my aunt? Then let's go together. We will be in my father's military tent by then, so my uncle doesn't need to worry."
Yuwen Jingli thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."
Yang Wenjin knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and he couldn't resist it anymore. The emperor and the prince thought so, and there was no room for turning around just relying on the eldest sister who didn't exert much force.
"In that case, let's pack our bags," Yang Wenjin looked at her husband and said with tears, "If I die, I will die with you."
This is why Yu Wen Jingli dotes on his wife, not only because Yang Wenjin is a princess, she is definitely an incredible wife.
Yang Ming said at this time: "Don't worry, I will ask my father to arrange for my uncle to be in Li Jing's army, and I also have some things to tell my uncle."
"If I can observe, I won't avoid it," Yang Wenjin said calmly, accepting his fate.
Yang Ming nodded and said: "Auntie, there is no need to avoid it."
Then, he looked at Yuwen Jingli and said:
"Goguryeo is a cunning country. Its ambition is not small, and it has the potential to swallow up the Northeast. After that, it will definitely invade our central land. Now it has become a climate. This expedition will be difficult and dangerous. I must not be tainted by the contempt of the court. Even when Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, I once urged Your Majesty not to set up the post of comfort envoy, because my ambition in the Sui Dynasty is not to recruit surrender, but to attack and destroy, so as to avoid future troubles forever."
Yu Wen Jingli listened carefully, nodded and said: "There is no trivial matter in the military, so I naturally dare not take it lightly."
"Be sure to remember every word of what I tell you today," Yang Ming said:
"Li Jing is a general. If you follow him, you may seem to be a vanguard, but in fact you are the safest. Do not interfere with any of his military deployments, and do not listen to Goguryeo's pleas for surrender. They will not surrender. Yes, you only need to help him restrain his subordinates. Li Jing does not dare to kill anyone who disobeys his orders. You come to kill them. Make sure that everyone is united and the soldiers work hard, and then success will be achieved immediately."
Yu Wen Jingli felt proud at Yang Ming's words, nodded and said:
"I don't know the military, so I naturally don't dare to discuss important military affairs. Since His Highness thinks that I should not be responsible for recruiting, I will do nothing but help Li Jing restrain the soldiers."
He is the emperor's brother-in-law, which is different from Li Jing. Although Li Jing is more senior than him, people who don't give face to Li Jing may not dare to deny face to Yu Wenjing.
Yang Ming emphasized his instructions again, especially regarding the feigned surrender. The Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo mainly because they lost in this place. Why surrender? More than a million people went there to recruit and surrender?
Shouldn't recruiting and surrendering be a matter of sending a few envoys?
Besides, Yang Guang, you have already said harsh words to Gao Yuan, and asked him to come to see you. Are you being ignored? Have people taken advantage of your threats?
No.
Therefore, recruiting and surrendering is really superfluous and a huge failure.
Yang Wenjin had nothing to say. She didn't understand state affairs, let alone military affairs, but judging from Yang Ming's serious and sincere instructions, she could tell that the other party was still thinking about her husband.
It was certain that Yu Wen Jingli would go, and Yang Ming was a highly prestigious commander in the army. His ability in commanding troops had been tested in actual combat, and he was favored by the talented Yang Su. Yu Wen Jingli was naturally honest and easy to teach. Remember it clearly in your mind and do it accordingly.
It's easy to handle now. Yang Ming can take this opportunity to ask his father. Didn't the third aunt not let Yu Wen Jingli go? You put him on the front line. In this way, dad can step down, and others will not be able to say that the emperor is protecting his shortcomings.
As long as the Nine Route Army can save Li Jing's branch, it will be able to revitalize the entire war situation, because if Li Jing can really become a vanguard army, his subordinates must be elite in attacking difficulties, and the main force will not be less than 40,000 people.
As for whether Li Jing can get what he wants, in addition to Yang Ming's efforts, someone in Luoyang also needs to help. Pei Ju and Yang Yue will definitely help, and with a few more people, it can be done.
"When my aunt and uncle leave Beijing, I will go and see them off." Yang Ming stood up, came to Yang Wenjin's side, and said in a soft tone: "Aunt, don't blame your nephew for being ruthless. It's actually the law of the country that is ruthless."
Yang Wenjin sighed: "It's up to you, but you still need to use your strength to deal with things after your uncle comes back."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "As long as my uncle makes great achievements this time, my nephew will do his best."
In fact, he was hinting to Yuwen Jingli that as long as you listen to me this time, I will take care of everything after you come back.
Yuwen Jingli naturally understood.
