Crossing the Yangtze River, the holy car arrived in Jiangxia City, a grand banquet in the city of a 'palace' officially began, since ancient times, friendship is eaten at the dinner table, the emperor to win over the courtiers is no exception. Xiao Liang's courtiers led by Xiao Mo were all present, and between the staggered plans, the dancing girl danced, and the beautiful sound surrounded her ears, which was really enjoyable. In the middle of the wine, the somewhat drunk Xiao Liang courtiers saw that the emperor did not blame, and the fear gradually disappeared, and they boasted to each other through the wine, and the big words flew all over the sky, mentioning that Li Yuan, Li Mi and others were causing trouble to the world, and they were all grinding their fists, stretching out their arms and sleeves, and they had the meaning of immediately looking for these heroes to fight together!

Yang Tong looked at it coldly, but he was smiling and persuading him to drink again and again, when he was drunk to seven points, even some old people were afraid that Yang Tong would not know that he had made a loud noise like "great achievements", and he was full of pride and bullishness and talked about the magnificent past of 'passing five levels and cutting six generals'.

Among them, only Xiao Mo and Cen Wenwen are more sober-minded, because the two of them rarely drink, and they know the best about Li Yuan and Li Mi's power, and these people in front of them, except for very few who can barely protect themselves, if the rest want to go to see Er Li at first sight, it is nothing more than hitting a stone with an egg and sending them to death in vain. And what qualifications does the self-proud Jiangnan celebrity have to boast in front of Yang Tong, who made the "Three Character Classic", "Six Kingdoms Theory", "Shi Shuo", "A Fang Gongfu" and other world-famous articles?

It's just that the two of them saw that the emperor was drunk and listened, and they listened with great interest, but they didn't dare to say anything that ruined the fun. Xiao Mo even thought: If someone is reused by the emperor, it will not be in vain for the monarch and ministers, and it can be regarded as an explanation to his subordinates.

The banquet lasted for a long time, until midnight, when the curtain ended, and Yang Tong was taken back to the backyard. Lying on the bed, his face showed a hint of mockery.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

"What?" Yang Tong asked lazily.

"It's me!" A pleasant voice came from outside.

Yang Tong was stunned, Yang Qinfang? How can you come back at such a moment? Before she could reply, she pushed the door open.

Yang Tong was speechless for a while, he was such a big person, and he didn't know how to be polite at all.

"How do you drink like this?" Smelling the smell of wine in the room, Yang Qinfang complained in a low voice.

"It's not me, it's the clothes to drink!"

In Yang Qinfang's surprised gaze, Yang Tong sat up suddenly, where was he still a little drunk.

Yang Qinfang picked up the coat thrown on the ground, touched it, and almost pinched out the wine.

"What are you doing here?"

"Sit down!" Yang Tong stepped aside and lit the candlelight.

"What?"

Yang Tong asked rhetorically: "Who are there outside?" ”

Yang Qinfang shook his head and said, "The backyard is guarded by the Shura Guard, and then outside is the Xuanjia Army." ”

"I'm going to execute Xiao Miao's confidants."

It's not that Yang Tong is not at ease with Xiao Miao, but he is not at ease with these henchmen of Xiao Miao, he not only wants to transfer Xiao Mi away from Jingxiang, but also executes his henchmen, these people risk killing their heads to rebel with Xiao Miao, they are not good people, and they are innocent of death.

In fact, the short-sightedness of the rabble was exposed at the beginning of Xiao Milling's army, and when Xiao Milling led the crowd to Baling, Shen Liusheng, who was named the general of the Che Cavalry by Xiao Milling, was only worried that after the division, his status in the army would be affected, and he actually detained and killed Xu Deji, who came to greet him. In order to give an explanation to the army, Xiao Mo had to order Shen Liusheng to be beheaded, and since then, Xiao Miao's internal problems have been exposed, and he can't control these people at all.

At the same time, Xiao Mill doesn't know people, these people who are cited by him as henchmen, have no loyalty at all, as soon as they know that Xiao Mill is losing power, they are all opportunistic and flattering, saying things like deep repentance and rebellion, this is not a traitor for glory? Xiao Mo is still struggling for their future.

Yang Qinfang worried: "If you go back on your word, will it ruin your reputation?" ”

"I only promised to spare Xiao Miao, these people are not included, through the performance of these people tonight, it is not a good thing, my Great Sui Army, will never allow these black sheep to mix in. Killing them can calm the people's anger and disturb the people's hearts. ”

Yang Qinfang hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you just kill Xiao Mian halfway, so that you can never suffer in the future?" ”

Yang Tong shook his head, "Xiao Mo no longer has capital, like Jiangxia's army, which has been completely controlled by my Great Sui, he can't mobilize a single soldier if he wants to." Politically, when the household registration system and the uniform field system are put in place, no one can pull up the rebellious team, and Xiao Milling will not be able to do it, and it will be useless to kill or not. And after all, he was the lord of Xiao Liang, and the Xiao family has a huge influence in Jingxiang and even the entire south, killing him may provoke a backlash in the south, which is not conducive to the stability of the south. So he lives and is of greater use to us. ”

Yang Qinfang suddenly realized, and after a while, he asked again: "I see that there are many southern scholars who participated in the dinner, and these people probably want to be my official of the Great Sui." ”

"The royal family and the family have ruled the world together for a long time, and they want to be officials so much!" Yang Tong smiled coldly and said to Yang Qinfang: "The Southern Shi clan is the backbone of Xiao Milling, and the foundation of the Liang State is in these people, the Liang State is strong, they follow the rising tide, the Liang State declines and even perishes, they also weaken, Xiao Mill surrenders, and these families naturally surrender to the new master." This has nothing to do with their personal likes and dislikes, but is actually a matter of interests. The reason why the family has the confidence to argue with the royal family is that they are firmly tied to the interests of the country and the royal family and are inseparable. To put it bluntly, the family is some gamblers, they bet on both sides, as long as they see the right time to win a big one, and it is dozens of hundreds of years of infinite scenery, no matter where they bet, he wins. It doesn't matter if Xiao Mo is defeated, it's a big deal that I turn my head and rejoin the Sui Dynasty, it's the same high-powered, fragrant and spicy. ”

In fact, the same is true of the Guanlong and Kwantung clans.

But Yang Tong didn't want to play according to the previous routine, this is to let the whole nation get a healthy development in the competition, if the family is allowed to control the government, there will be intrigue between factions, and infighting has always been the root cause of the decline of the Central Plains Dynasty; Second, the source of the Great Sui civil and military is complex, and no interest factions have been formed, if the southern faction is preserved intact and enters the court, it will become the largest faction in the world, and the fathers who are independent of each other cannot match at all, and they will do everything possible to support Xiao Yuexian's future son to launch a fierce offensive on the crown prince's throne for the sake of greater interests. Li Ke in history is a concubine, but he has become Li Chengqian's biggest threat, why? Relying on the widows and young of the Sui Dynasty, as well as the southern faction led by Cen Wenwen, the huge power generated by these people made Li Chengqian, who had the full support of Guan Long's magnates, almost unable to do it, not to mention Wei Fengwu's mother and son who did not have a relative, so Yu Gong, Yu Private, and Yang Tong did not allow these people to enter the Great Sui Dynasty. These people are polite and personable on the surface, but in their bones they are actually male thieves and female prostitutes, and it is too easy to find them to be guilty. What's more, the Black Ice Platform has not neglected the south over the years, although the manpower distributed in the south is not as large as Li Yuan's, but the major warrior clans in the south are all under the supervision of the Black Ice Platform.

"Won't the family be loyal to anyone?"

"Between the country and the family, the children of the family take the lead in choosing the interests of their own family, and then they will consider the country and the people, and as for the emperor, they will be placed last. Of course, there are also some loyal family children who died for the last emperor, but they represent themselves and have nothing to do with their family, and the martyr we respect should be himself, and has nothing to do with his family. Of course, some dynasties also have generations of loyal generals, but unfortunately, the founding of our Great Sui is too short, at most there are only three generations of loyalty, such as the Lai family, the Xue family, and the Zhou family. ”

"Then when are you going to attack the Jingxiang clan?" Yang Qinfang was a little eager to try.

"Wait until Xiao Miao's army is reformed, and then take advantage of the people's dissatisfaction with the southern warriors to start."

Yang Tong sighed and said: "It has always been difficult to accept the surrendered army, because there is a problem of redistribution of interests involved here, and if the interests are not properly distributed, there will be big trouble. For example, Cao Cao, when he first fought Wancheng, he didn't handle the relationship of interests well, so that Zhang Xiu noticed that Cao Cao looked down on him, and realized that Cao Cao would take away his military power next, so he turned back and almost took Lao Cao's life, but although Lao Cao escaped, he also paid the lives of his eldest son Cao Ang, the general of the Su Guard, Dian Wei, and many Cao army soldiers. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the surrendered generals will continue to lead the troops, for example, I let Du Fuwei continue to lead the Jianghuai army, also in order not to offend the interests of the main general, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Of course, this is also related to Du Fuwei's many years of standing in Jianghuai, and he is quite familiar with the terrain of Jianghuai, which is unmatched by none of us. ”

Yang Qinfang glanced at Yang Tong and said softly, "Why are you telling me this?" ”

"Because you are my relative! And you are ready to let you know this, which is good for you personally and for our family. ”

As soon as Yang Tong said this, Yang Qinfang suddenly blushed, and lowered her head sweetly in her heart.

The small appearance of the little imperial aunt and the girl Huaichun made Yang Tong's scalp numb.

This girl... Misunderstood the big ball.

Luckily, she didn't know she had overheard her heart.

But it was also because of the damn eavesdropping that he was always a little weak and uncomfortable when he faced Yang Qinfang.

"I sent you south, but I didn't assign a mission, do you know why?" Yang Tong changed the subject.

Yang Qinfang replied dissatisfiedly: "What else? Look down on me. ”

"Not really!"

"Then why didn't you give me the task?"

"I don't want your soldiers to get involved in too many things, they are all the daughters of powerful people in the court, and most of them will marry powerful families in the future, if they use the skills they have learned, as well as the wealth of their families, to form a team of assassins who belong to their families to assassinate, do you think it is good for the country and the security of the royal family? Have you thought about this question? Yang Tong looked at her and asked in a deep voice.

"I didn't think about it!" Yang Qinfang's big sparkling eyes were black and white, and he looked at Yang Tong and said, "But other people will too." ”

"Yes!" Yang Tong nodded and said: "Others will, but they don't have the financial resources to build a team of assassins, at most they can only train their own children, and the impact on the country is negligible, but the powerful families are different!" Maybe I'm suspicious, but I don't want to create a problem for my children and grandchildren. That's why I'm leaving you alone with all kinds of harsh training, while others don't. ”

"You have two choices now, either stay with your soldiers and honestly become the Shura Guard General; Either you are separated from your little sisters, and they become ordinary Shura Guards, while you take over the Black Ice Platform step by step and become the leader of the assassins. ”

When the world is unified, Black Ice Terrace must disperse a group of people, and another group of people must stay outside the world, and this also needs trustworthy people to manage, otherwise, it will become a Jinyiwei-style organization, causing everyone in the world to be in danger, but it has no effect of deterring hundreds of officials. Therefore, a dignified country, internally, should be upright, with the local criminal department, the imperial department, and the vigilance of one person's corruption and descendants, it is enough to prevent the breeding of a large number of corrupt officials and corrupt officials. As for those that are hidden deeply, they will be handed over to the reserve officials to dig up, and if one is dug up, the reserve officials will fill the place, and the reserve officials will work very hard to replace them.

"You don't have to rush to reply, you can think slowly." Yang Qinfang is a lot more stable, and Yang Tong is ready to let her get in touch with some sinister world. Since she has chosen this path, she should be made aware of the interests between some people, so as not to suffer losses in the future.

"If I choose the latter, then who do I learn from, Ling Shangshu?"

"Ling Shangshu, you've almost learned it! If you choose the latter, it seems that you can only learn from me. Yang Tong actually didn't want to say this.

As he expected.

Yang Qinfang said neatly and without any delay: "I don't want to think about it, I decided to be the leader of the assassins." ”

"......" Yang Tong knew that she would choose the latter, but after a little contemplation, she felt that this was not necessarily a bad thing. Because there are many young talents around him, maybe one of them happens to be Yang Qinfang's true destiny.
