In the middle of the hour, the rooster crows.

"Husband! Get up! ”

Yang Tong was sleeping in a daze, but was woken up by a pair of small hands, and Xiao Wu's lazy and distressed voice echoed in Yang Tong's ears.

The two of them fought Sihe last night, Yang Tong was sleepy at this time, he opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that the sky was dark outside, at most four o'clock, and he casually said "En" twice and continued to sleep.

"Husband! Yang Fushu, Yang Shangshu, Fang Shangshu, Wei Shangshu, Wei Shangshu, Liu Shangshu, Kong Shangshu, Ling Shangshu, Jiang Shangshu and General Youshen, they are waiting for you in Chaoyang Palace, Fujun hurry up. ”

In fact, in half an hour, Yang Tong will wake up, and Xiao Wu can't wait for her husband to sleep a little longer, but national affairs are important, no matter how distressed and unbearable she is, she has to wake up Yang Dong.

Just as Yang Tong said when he comforted himself last night.

"If you want to reach the peak, you must endure its pain; If you want to be moved, you must enter it; If you want to think about your life, you must avoid it; If it is difficult to indulge in lust, it will be empty; If you want to be happy, you will show your grandeur; If you want to succeed, you must have a dream; If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight......"

If you want to reach a certain height, you must endure the pain of reaching this height, you must be moved, you must integrate your emotions into the situation, you want to live a stable life, you must find ways to avoid dangers and disasters, you must not indulge, you must have an empty heart, you want to live happily, you must develop your own ambitions, you must have dreams if you want to succeed, you must wear the crown of the emperor, and you must bear the pressure brought to you by this status.

On the road of hegemony, advancing is life and death, and if you want to succeed in living, you have to bear all this. You can't say you're tired, you can't say you're bitter, and you can't slack off...... Because there is no unearned result in this world, since it is the head of one party, why not work hard to pay, and want to sit back and enjoy the results?

Yang Tong opened a lazy mouth, got up from the bed in a daze, and let Xiao Wu dress and wash him up.

At this moment, he finally understood that so many emperors in ancient times were keen to be faint kings, and he finally understood why there were many faint monarchs in ancient times and fewer Ming monarchs...... Every day, there are piles in front of you, even if you have the legend that Mount Tai collapsed in front of you and your face does not change your color and calm, you will scold angrily "lying on the mud horse", and you don't want people to live is that you have to be woken up from a sweet dream from time to time, no wonder Mingjun died early, it was all exhausting.

Among them, the most typical representative is Yongzheng, who received mixed reviews, and he died of exhaustion when he was criticizing the mountains and playing sparsely.

If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, Yang Tong feels that it should be okay for him to be a faint king for a few years...... However, now is a troubled time, the major princes are working overtime to rectify their imperial industry, if they slack off for half a year, others will overtake in the corner, Yang Tong must seize all the time to make the Great Sui superior.

Xiao Wu stood far away to admire his masterpiece, and saw Yang Tong wearing a bright yellow robe, wearing a golden crown, and he looked even more upright and heroic, and his gestures were calm and magnificent.

After a while, the obsession in Xiao Wumei's beautiful eyes dissipated, and she bowed down and said, "The concubine respectfully sends His Royal Highness..."

"The concubine is ......"

Yang Tong understood that Xiao Wu was speaking as a princess at this moment, not a wife, but he didn't like this kind of law, and he didn't like Xiao Wu to lose his nature because of his formality, so he leaned forward and said in her crystal ear: "Let's work hard tonight and strive to have a big fat boy next year......

Xiao Wu's face suddenly burned like fire, and finally she didn't hold the dignity of the "mother's world", revealing the delicate state of her little daughter, and glanced at her husband angrily, and the momentary demeanor fascinated Yang Dong's eyes, Yang Tong laughed, turned around and went out.

The side hall of Chaoyang Palace, at this time it is already brightly lit, shining like day!

In the hall, several Great Sui mainstays whispered about something.

With the arrival of Yang Tong, everyone got up to greet each other, and after Yang Tong took his seat, several people took their seats.

"Guys, what's wrong?" Seeing the grim expressions of these adults, Yang Tong became a little apprehensive. Yesterday I bragged and said, 'Why don't you lose once?' and this morning before dawn, retribution is coming?

Yang Gongren said: "Your Highness, the grain in Yecheng is rising, and some grain shops are now full of people. ”

"How much does it cost?" Hearing that Xiao Wu's food prices were rising last night, Yang Tong realized that someone was manipulating food prices behind the scenes.

"Back to Your Highness, the grain in Yecheng has risen from 30 yuan of rice in normal times to 46 yuan a bucket yesterday, and this morning it has directly risen to the exaggerated level of 75 yuan of rice fighting, which has more than doubled."

Yang Gongren reported the latest price of grain prices, and then talked about his own views: "The grain people are the heart of the pill, and the grain price is the main criterion for all kinds of high prices, once the grain price is out of control, the price of other items will also rise wildly, and the people's will and the army's will be violently turbulent." The minister suggested that Yecheng, Taiyuan and local official positions should be activated to calm down the turmoil. ”

"We are not short of grain, and it is necessary to invest in official grain parity." Yang Dong very much agreed with Yang Gongren's approach, and said: "The price of food has risen too sharply and too strangely, and I don't think it's an accident. What do you think? ”

Everyone looked at Yang Gongren again, he was the first person under Yang Tong, he followed Yang Dong in the most difficult time, the oldest qualifications, the most experienced, out of respect also need to listen to his opinions first, and Yang Gongren is extraordinary, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Yang Dong's Xiao He, if it weren't for his conscientious owners to manage the rear, under the rule of the three states and the counties of Guannei Province, how could he recover so quickly from Chiye Qianli thriving?

Yang Gongren pondered for a moment, "Food prices have fluctuated since a month ago, but the increase is not large, and it has always been within a reasonable range, until five days ago, it rose strangely. Last year, Jizhou, Youzhou, and Liaodong all had bumper harvests, and the recovered grain could not be filled, and in addition, we implemented the method of 'cashing for work' in the nine counties of Bingzhou and Guannei Province, so that the new population did not suffer from hunger at all. Moreover, the military rations were all transferred from the official warehouse, and the civilian rations were not requisitioned, and when His Highness went on the northern expedition, he did not even bring food, so it stands to reason that there should be no shortage of food. So I suspect that there is a deliberate effort to inflate food prices. ”

At this time, Ling Jing, who was in charge of intelligence, arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, the minister received information the day before yesterday, saying that someone was spreading rumors in Bingzhou, one is that Li Dudu was defeated in Guanzhong, and the other is that the Turkic army of 300,000 is going south. If the news spreads and the people don't know whether it's true or not, the minister thinks it's normal for food prices to rise. ”

Everyone was silent, if it was for this reason, the rise in food prices was also understandable, but they knew that someone was deliberately spreading rumors, but could the people understand?

Wei Zheng said slowly: "The rumors started in Bingzhou, and it has only been a little more than a day, how come all the grain merchants in Yecheng have gotten the news?" Who brought the news to Yecheng? ”

Yang Tong said: "The rumors spread so widely and so quickly, it can be seen that this is not an individual act, but a premeditated action by a huge hostile force. ”

Wei Zheng nodded and said: "Then the new question comes again, first of all, who is the force that did it?" Secondly, what is the purpose of messing up the Great Sui? ”

Everyone also felt that Wei Zheng's question was reasonable, and Yang Tong asked: "The stability of grain prices is a matter of great importance, and there must be no ambiguity on the grain issue. What does Hyun Sung think he should do? ”

Wei Zheng said: "First of all, it is to stabilize grain prices, and sell grain at the normal price of 30 yuan a bucket of rice in Changping and official warehouses in various places to meet the needs of the people in various places, so as to suppress grain prices; Second, while we are swallowing up the population, we have also been very seriously infiltrated by various forces, and we have taken this opportunity to uproot the spy organizations of various forces. ”

Ling Jing said with a smile: "Leave these problems to our 'Black Ice Platform' to do!" ”

Hei Bingtai is an intelligence agency named after Yang Tong, and he thinks the name is cool.

"Our ministry is responsible for blocking the news."

"We, the Imperial Ministry, are responsible for pacifying the people."

Fang Xuanling and Liu Zhenghui each took responsibility.
