Chapter 392: Unintentional Conspiracy
Wang Qianshou and Bing Yuanzhen came in a hurry, and both of them were a little surprised and a little apprehensive. When Yang Tong ascended the throne, the two of them, as representatives of the 'traitor', did not even have the opportunity to show up, and now they have not heard that Yang Tong received the kings and envoys of any country, but they suddenly summoned the two of them, and the two of them were very uneasy.
The two of them can represent Zheng and Wei as envoys, naturally they are not brainless people, the Great Sui officially unified the north this year, and there is no boundless trouble outside, the next step must be to wave the army south.
Yang Tong did not kill Li Tang when he had the opportunity to kill Li Tang's ministers, indicating that his next target was not the Bashu occupied by Li Tang; At the beginning of the year, the people of Qingzhou fled seriously, and Yang Tong let go of the opportunity to annihilate Dou Jiande, which shows that he also did not want to fight Dou Jiande. In this way, then Yang Tong's next target is either Wang Shichong or Li Mi.
Wang Shichong and Li Mi were all worried, so they formed an alliance to protect themselves, and let them come this time to explore the bottom of the Great Sui, at least, to find out Yang Tong's attitude towards Zheng and Wei, so as to be prepared.
After the greetings, Yang Tong glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "I heard that the Zheng and Wei families want to deepen the relationship between the two parties by marrying their children in order to deal with Li Yuan, but is there such a thing?" ”
Wang Qianshou and Bing Yuanzhen were stunned when they heard this, how could they be involved in this matter, could it be that the Yang and Dong families are ready to join forces to deal with the Great Sui? But looking at Yang Tong's indifferent appearance, both of them didn't know what he meant, Wang Qianshou said: "His Majesty the Emperor of Sui also knows that the Zheng and Wei families have a deep misunderstanding, if the misunderstanding is not eliminated in this way, everyone will inevitably have a pimple in their hearts, in order to deal with Li Yuan's enemy with one heart and one mind, so they became sons and daughters." ”
In fact, the news of the marriage between Zheng and Wei has spread all over the world, not to mention that everyone knows it, but it must not be hidden from the core figures of all forces, and it is not a secret at all, but Wang Qianshou is also afraid that Yang Tong will be wrong, so he repeatedly emphasized that it is aimed at Li Yuan, not Da Sui.
Yang Tong nodded, looked at Bing Yuanzhen and said, "But I don't know who this woman is?" ”
"Back to His Majesty Emperor Sui, this daughter was originally Pei Shiqing's granddaughter Pei Yuehua, and now she is the righteous daughter of His Royal Highness the King of Wei in my family." Bing Yuanzhen replied.
Pei Yuehua?
Yang Tong still has a slight impression that when Pei Shiqing was still a minister of Yang Qi, he was ordered to come to canonize Yang Dong and Yang Yu, but Pei Shiqing took the name of Xingyang Zheng and explored the bottom limit of his treatment of the family. At the same time, he brought his granddaughter Pei Yuehua into the palace, trying to take the path of Empress Xiao and marry her to herself.
It's just that this is not the same as the news that Yang Gongren and Ling Jingtan heard!
Bing Yuanzhen is also a good person, and he saw that Yang Tong's intention was not to marry Zheng Wei, but the daughters of the two families to marry, which made him feel a lot more relieved, but of course these words were not easy to say, so he asked rhetorically: "Why did Your Majesty talk about this?" ”
"It's not that I want to take care of your family affairs, it's just that I recently got rumors that it is not Pei Yuehua who wants to marry in Luoyang!" Of course, Yang Tong will not admit that his news is wrong, and Pei's problem should be sooner rather than later, if she is really married off by Li Mi, where will this put Da Sui's face.
"But I don't know who it is?" Wang Qianshou asked.
"As far as I know, the so-called righteous daughter that Li Mi is going to marry to Wang Xuanqiong is not Pei Yuehua, but my princess of Sui Yan. Now that King Yan has become a monk, Princess Yan is still the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family. What are you doing this to trap me in the Great Sui? Ling Jing looked at Wang Qianshou with his eyes, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes when he looked at him coldly: "Or is your Wang family ready for a decisive battle with the Great Sui?" ”
"Your Majesty Emperor Sui, Ling Shangshu, my Da Zheng has no intention of offending the Great Sui Tianwei, and it is indeed Pei Yuehua who wants to marry, not Princess Yan." Wang Qianshou didn't know if it was true or not, but he knew that Wang Shichong would never unwisely let his son marry Princess Yan of the Great Sui, and the power of the Great Sui was not something anyone dared to offend. Moreover, Yang Tong has thousands of reasons for attacking their old Wang family, and there is no need to make a fuss about his sister-in-law's reputation and royal majesty, and he vaguely feels that their Wang family has been pitted by Li Mi.
"The car curtain family, the hijab, and then take a ball of fabric and stuff it into the mouth, who knows if the bride is Princess Yan or Pei Yuehua?" Ling Jing's cold words directly made Wang Qianshou sweat in the cold weather.
"Ling Shangshu is sowing discord in front of his subordinates, isn't it?" Bing Yuanzhen spoke at this time.
Ling Jing smiled coldly and said magnificently: "I have nearly one million elite soldiers and thousands of generals in Dasui, and there are no internal and external troubles, and it is easy to clean up a few of you at the same time, why do you want to sow discord?" Don't think too highly of yourself. ”
Yang Tong glanced at Ling Jing, and sighed a little in his heart: This is the magnanimity that a great power of the Celestial Empire should have! This is also the self-confidence and pride that a great country brings to its subjects, and this self-confidence and pride are further sublimated when dealing with foreign tribes, and when facing their own rebellious subjects.
Bing Yuan smiled bitterly, and there was a sense of broken dreams, what the Great Sui Junchen said was indeed a conspiracy against Wang Shichong.
The conspiracy is characterized by concealment, in a tactful way to let the opponent fall into the quagmire and unable to fight back, in the performance of strength is a kind of soft, but once people perceive, it will be invalid, Li Mi's calculation of Wang Shichong's move is a typical conspiracy.
Giving Princess Yan to Wang Shichong's son Wang Xuanqiong was indeed something that Wei was ready to do. This is also the consensus of Li Mi, Bing Yuanzhen and Fang Xuanzao, the king of Wei.
They believe that Yang Dong, who represents the orthodoxy of the world, will inevitably tear off the previous camouflage mask and reveal a hideous face, which is what must be done after becoming the emperor, otherwise, Yang Dong will not be able to explain to the people of the world, and the emperor's authority will be shaken.
Even if Yang Tong no longer fights this year, he will probably launch a battle to the south in the spring of next year, so Wei is a pawn who attracts the Great Sui soldiers, Dou Jiande is too small and weak to withstand the power of the Great Sui. Therefore, Wang Shichong became Li Mi's preferred pawn.
And marrying Princess Yan to Wang Shichong's son will undoubtedly anger Da Sui, but relatively speaking, the anger on the man's side will definitely be heavier.
Once Wang Shichong is cornered, he can only make a good alliance with Li Mi, so that the Wei army can enter Luoyang victoriously and take over the south bank of the Yellow River, and then Li Mi can borrow the letter Guguan, and the Yellow River is dangerous to protect the Great Sui outside the country, only when the north is safe, Li Mi can put more energy into the grand strategy of unifying the south of the Yellow River. But no one could have imagined that Da Sui would actually have insight into Li Mi's conspiracy.
The characteristic of Yangmou is that it is open, even if the opponent knows it, it is helpless, and it is a powerful means to suppress people; Yang Tong is now using Yangmou, in front of Wang Qianshou and Bing Yuanzhen, he spread everything out and said, which caused Li Mi's trick to fail, not to mention, but also tore a rift in the weak alliance between Wang Shichong and Li Mi.
Bing Yuanzhen sighed, but he was glad that their conspiracy had not yet become a fact, as long as he did not admit it, and obediently married Pei Yuehua to Wang Xuanqiong, he could still save the relationship between Wei and Zheng, but it would be difficult to harm Wang Shichong again in the future.
"Ling Shangshu!" At this time, Wang Qianshou stepped forward and said: "This matter is very important, and it is also related to the dignity of your country, so you must not say anything." ”
Ling Jing said in a deep voice: "If you are not sure, how dare you talk nonsense?" ”
At this point, Wang Qianshou also faintly felt that he had been calculated, compared with Li Mi, he was more willing to believe in the Great Sui, the powerful Great Sui was not afraid of any force, even if all the princes in the south were combined, Yang Tong dared to fight, there was no need to engage in such a small method that could not be put on the table.
As soon as he thought of this, he stared at Bing Yuanzhen coldly and said, "Bing Nayan, how do you explain?" ”
"Never. King Wei and King Zheng are very sincere, King Cai can rest assured! If you are not at ease, you can confirm the date of greeting. Bing Yuanzhen, who shook his head in denial, sighed secretly, thinking: A conspiracy is a conspiracy after all, and after being detected, it is really vulnerable.
"That's it!" Wang Qianshou nodded, he was not interested in why the Sui Dynasty had such a statement, but he also knew that it was groundless, and it may not be without reason. The Sui Dynasty proposed before the incident happened, and it was actually them Zheng Guo who benefited, but he also had doubts about Wei Guozhi's sincerity, and he must remind the Holy Lord when he goes back, so as not to be mistaken by Li Mi's calculations in the future.
"His Majesty Emperor Sui, His Royal Highness King Cai!" Bing Yuanzhen arched his hand and said: "I think that this is an attempt by a certain force to destroy the relationship between you and me, so that our three parties will fall into a big war, so as to benefit from it." ”
Yang Tong nodded: "I also hope that this is a misunderstanding to avoid this kind of misunderstanding from happening again, and I hope that after Mr. Bing goes back, he will send the imperial sister-in-law intact." ”
"Whoa!" Bing Yuan really responded very shamefully. After this incident, Princess Yan's chess piece has lost its value, if she makes a mistake in Wei, I am afraid that the war will happen immediately, rather than being used by a third party, it is better to return it to the Great Sui and settle down. At the same time, it was also a clear attitude to Wang Qianshou, indicating that Wei did not harm Wang Shichong's heart.
"This matter is over, I will send someone to pick up the person with Mr. Bing."
"Whoa!" What else can Bing Yuanzhen do?
Yang Tong looked at the two of them and said, "I also know that you are here with a mission, so I will take this opportunity to express the attitude of the Great Sui." ”
"Your Majesty, please." Wang Qianshou and Bing Yuanzhen's hearts that had just fallen hung again.
"My focus is on the Western Regions, and I am not interested in the south, but there will still be an attitude that should be made, and I hope you don't make mistakes."
"Whoa."
Wang Qianshou and Bing Yuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Tong indirectly told them that the Great Sui would declare them rebellious ministers and thieves, but would not really attack them. Although this is not very credible, at least they have also got the attitude of Da Sui, and they can go back to make a difference.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Qianshou arched his hand and said: "But I don't know the ...... of the war horse"
"I will sell you as much as you want. No one is reluctant to pay for money, and neither am I! ”
"Indeed!" Ling Jing said with a disgusted face: "Hundreds of millions of horses, plus tens of millions of cattle and sheep, they eat when they see green, and they gnaw the grass and leaves bare, and they are annoying to watch!" ”
"......" Wang Qianshou and Bing Yuanzhen wanted to scold people when they heard it, they served every war horse as an uncle, afraid that it would not eat well, and afraid that it would have diarrhea, and there were countless horsemen alone, but Da Sui actually regarded horses as locusts, this is really more popular than people.
However, the two also knew that Ling Jing was not bragging, the Great Sui had won many victories over the years, and the Turks had been bitter about grabbing the East and West, and it was normal to have so many horses, cattle and sheep.
"Where's the price?" Wang Qianshou felt that the war horses were flooding in the Great Sui, and the price should be negotiable.
"A tael of gold each!"
"This ......"
"You can buy it if you want to, and if you don't buy it, you can pull it down. Horse meat tastes good, and everyone says it's good. Ling Jing said: "Besides, even if you don't buy it, Li Tang will rush to ask for it." ”
Yang Tong almost burst out laughing, this is the benefit of monopolizing strategic resources, if you don't buy it, Lao Tzu will sell it to your enemy, see what you do?
It's a pity that I am a liberal arts student, and I don't understand the formulas and principles of gunpowder, cement, glass, soap, and soap, so I can't not make a lot of money, but I can't improve the infrastructure level of this era
