On this day, a sudden, hurried heavy rain swept across the Central Plains.

The large droplets of beans hanging from the tips of the lush green leaves sparkle in the afternoon sun, and after the cicadas moistened by the rain and dew, they appear brighter, and the water on the earth is steaming hot under the sun, and the sultry air flow is so unbearable that people almost suffocate.

This summer has been exceptionally hot and the weather is a bit unusual! caused the old man to say that too many people had died in troubled times, too many resentful souls coveted the world, and he was unwilling to return, and Yang Tong, who had made countless 'resentful souls', sneered at it and ignored it. For this kind of theory, even if Yang Tong is an outlier, he is skeptical, even if there are really ghosts in the world, but these 'substances' can't beat themselves when they are alive, what can they do without the support of the body? When people can't explain something, they give mysterious phenomena a mysterious color, such as the phosphorus fire of spontaneous combustion of dry bones, because it is running around on the cemetery, and the color is gloomy and terrifying, and it is often called 'ghost fire' by people who are afraid.

The principle is the same, some things are not worth mentioning once they are cracked.

Luoyang, Wangfuzhong.

Yang Tong is on official business.

The military operation is responsible for the luxurious lineup composed of Yang Shanhui, Luo Shixin, Xue Wanjun, Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Pei Xingyan, Du Ruhui and others, and Yang Tong is more at ease than going to the front line himself; However, the government affairs of the Central Plains are like a mess, and strange problems will occur, and some cases that occur for the first time must be seen, decided, and approved by the emperor, and the following courtiers can only implement them. Even if it was sent to Yang Dong after being sorted out and screened by counties, three provinces and nine departments, there were too many things caused by millions of people, and it was enough to keep Yang Dong busy.

Yang Tong handed an urgent document to a Shura Wei: "Urgent, send this document to Yecheng." ”

"Whoa!" Shurawei said yes and left quickly. In Yang Dong's dynasty, all chores are done by the Shura Wei around him, although there are no eunuchs in the palace, but the characteristic product of eunuchs is very few, when Yang Dong went on the expedition, there was no eunuch around him, and miscellaneous things such as security and daily life were taken care of by Shura Wei, who was in charge of Yin Mingyue.

"Holy Lord, you have been busy since the morning, so take a break and then review the official documents."

Yin Mingyue came to Yang Tong with a bowl of chilled plum soup, and Yin Mingyue, who had taken off her uniform, looked chic and elegant in a luxurious white robe, her face was radiant, and her voice was full of helplessness.

As for Yang Tong, he is wearing a short coat without sleeves, and the two trouser tubes of the lower shirt have also been torn off, which can only cover the knees, in the eyes of people of this era, this kind of cool dress is naturally a 'beggar suit' without the image of the emperor, and has been criticized by Fang Xuanling and others, but they say that theirs, Yang Tong is still the same, but on formal occasions, he still has to wear formal clothes, but what surprised him was Wei Zheng's famous ' Ren Jing' not only didn't say a word to him, but persuaded Fang Xuanling to go to them, when Lao Wei thought that it was not a formal occasion, there was no need to care about these subsections, such a reasonable Lao Wei surprised Yang Tong. But after thinking about it carefully, I roughly guessed the reason for the disappearance of the 'human mirror'.

First of all, Wei Zheng used to be a Taoist priest, he was not a simple orthodox Confucian disciple, and the core idea of Taoism is to advocate nature, Yang Tong's 'strange clothes' are for heat dissipation, which is in line with the way of nature;

Secondly, it is' The butt determines the positioning of the head, Wei Zheng in the Li Er Dynasty is the person who abolished the prince Li Jiancheng, if he does not find the correct positioning, even if Li Er leaves him, he may not regard him as a confidant, Wei Zheng is even afraid that Li Er will not be happy to click himself one day, so he has to find his own positioning, and shape himself into a lonely minister who is afraid of civil and military affairs, anyway, he is a literati without military power, when he has no friends in the court, Li Er naturally did not regard him as a threat, in this way, his head will be saved; , that is also a stinky scandal, Li Er knew that he could not be the 'benevolent' emperor, the 'filial piety' emperor, and could not convince and respect the people of the world in terms of benevolence and filial piety, so he positioned himself as an emperor who was good at admonishment, so that Wei Zheng became Li Er's prop. Wei Zheng is such a smart person, how can he not know Li Er's intentions? He had a stomach of resentment against Li Er, who killed the old master, and had to be the little brother of the 'enemy', this anger was even greater, when he found out that Li Er acquiesced to him to scold, he was happy, whenever he was in a bad mood, he casually grabbed Li Er's pigtails and sprayed hard, His Majesty Li Er has to deal with thousands of official duties every day, and it is difficult to think of mistakes, and Li Er's mistake is that Lao Wei has fun with him, so over time, he has achieved a good reputation for monarchs and ministers, as for the truth, it has long been buried in the long river of history.

The current Wei Zheng is not Li Jiancheng's courtier, and he does not have that experience in history, and he is a person who is an internal and external Confucian, so he naturally will not scold Yang Tong in some subsections, in fact, all normal people who have a way to live will not and dare not scold the emperor, not to mention, Wei Zheng also worked very fast under Yang Dong, and Yang Dong was not a faint king. It's normal for the 'human mirror' to disappear.

"I don't want to, but thinking that so many counties and counties have to deal with them in a timely manner, and so many people are waiting for my policies to be settled in time, I don't want to be busy." Yang Tong said helplessly.

The promotion of the Sui system was greatly resisted in the Central Plains, since the day when the system of revoking the demotion and dividing the land equally began to be implemented, Yang Shidao of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Fang Xuanling of the Ministry of Officials, Wei Zheng of the Criminal Department, Liu Zhenghui of the Imperial Department, Ling Jing of the Ministry of Commerce, and even the members of the Black Ice Terrace in various places were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, even if it was Yang Tong himself, he was so busy that in addition to eating and sleeping, most of the time he was dealing with official documents sent from various places. Sometimes Yang Tong doesn't understand these people's 'stupid' moves, these counties recovered by the Sui Dynasty have actually been decided, but these people still dare to rebel, this is really speechless, those who maintain local order of the Great Sui 'Ya Servant' are all soldiers who have retired from the army, although these people have been laid off, but they are also the best people who have been on the battlefield and have seen blood, especially these soldiers who have come to recover the area to maintain stability and suppress, their functions are the same as those in the future' The combat effectiveness of the armed forces and the 'special police' --- is no worse than that of the combat units, and after special training, they are already very familiar with unconventional operations.

Of course, some deep-rooted cities still have to take time and effort, but as mentioned above, the Great Sui led by Yang Tong wants to please the people at the bottom, and when he has the support of this large number of groups, Yang Tong is not afraid of those families with a longer history than various dynasties. The reason is naturally that Yang Tong is not like the emperors of previous dynasties, who need a big family to rule the world together, so he can act unscrupulously.

Before cheap paper and books were not widely available, reading became an unimaginable luxury for the ordinary toiling masses, and the family monopolized educational resources and cultivated a huge number of 'talent pools' through family studies. That is to say, between the game with the imperial court, the most powerful weapon of the family is the soft power of 'talent', rather than the accumulation of wealth and vast fertile land, because these tangible assets can be seized by the imperial court through violent means, and how can a family of dozens, hundreds, or thousands of domestic servants be able to control the country of the world's soldiers and horses? Therefore, the weapons of the family are the talents needed by the imperial court, and when these talents come out, they will be fed back to the family, so that the families will gradually grow. It's just that Yang Dong has his own treasure trove of talents, and he has a strong military strength guarantee, so that the survival rules of the family family will not work in the Great Sui led by Yang Tong.

Of course, this is also the Kanto family, but the different Guanlong family is a wealthy family that started with the military, and they control the army through the relationship between the children of the family and the protégés, so the foundation of Guanlong is in the army. In the Yang Guang era, the Sui Dynasty obviously had more than 600,000 standing troops with outstanding combat power, but they still selected strong, brave and warlike young men from the army and the people, and re-established the Xiaoguo Army, the reason is that the more than 600,000 standing army has already been infiltrated into the bone marrow by the Guanlong Group, Yang Guang knows that if he does it with the Guanlong Group, this huge army is not under his control at all, and another reason is that he is worried that he is gone, and the Guanlong Group relies on the army to overthrow his children and grandchildren. Because that's how the old Yang family came about. Yang Guang's worries are actually very similar to Zhao Kuangyin, who played a hand of 'releasing military power with a glass of wine' after launching the 'Chenqiao Mutiny', if those Song Dynasty generals did not obediently hand over military power, I am afraid that it would not be a later prosperous old age, but a charred corpse in the tragedy of 'burning Qinggong Building'.

Yin Mingyue hesitated for a moment and handed over the plum soup, "Let's take a rest, otherwise Concubine Wu will talk about the end again." ”

"Then let her say go, I'll help you train her at night."

Shui Tianji now has a small goal, she not only wants to be a martial concubine, but also to create a history, that is, to become the first female prince of the Great Sui by virtue of her military merits, so even if the weather is hot to death, she runs to the military camp all day long, and trains under the hot summer sun with a flying feather bow, only at night, she drags her tired body back home, and during the day, it is difficult for Yang Tong to see each other.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Yin Mingyue, who has already arrived in the year of marriage, naturally understands the affairs of men and women, Yang Tong's ambiguous words made her jade face red, "The saint is so serious!" ”

"Why am I not serious?" Yang Tong followed the plum soup and drank a big one, and the cold feeling was refreshing. He turned his head to glance at Yin Mingyue, who had a strange expression, leaned back on the chair, and asked indifferently.

"Holy Lord, you know ......" Yin Mingyue's jade face turned even redder.

"Haha!" Yang Tong laughed, he found that some popular words in later generations have always existed, but they just didn't have a chance to become popular.

"The saint is not serious at all."

"......" Yang Tong was speechless, why is this not serious? However, he wasn't stupid enough to guess a woman's mind, he knew you would never guess it!

After a period of speechless silence, Yin Mingyue spoke: "The Holy Lord has been dealing with official business for so long, let the last general help you press and relax?" ”

"Okay!" Yang Tong, who worked from morning to afternoon, had a little swelling in his head, and was naturally happy to enjoy the beauty service, so he lay on his back on the chair.

"Holy Lord, Fang Shangshu asks to see you." Just when Yin Mingyue's face was red and her heart was beating faster, and she was about to take Yang Tong into her great mind, a Shura Wei walked in quickly and bowed to Yang Tong.

"Invite him in." Yang Tong straightened up and said to Yin Mingyue with a smile: "Look, it's difficult for me to take a break." ”

"Bastard!" Yin Mingyue gritted her teeth and scolded in a low voice.

Yang Tong looked at Yin Mingyue strangely: "Why do you want to scold me?" ”

"Nope."

"I hear you! You call me a 'bastard'. ”

Yin Mingyue was wronged to death, so angry that her chest was about to explode, and she said without words: "The last general will be to scold Fang Xuanling, this bastard is bad every time..."

"What's wrong with him?"

"Well, because, because every time, every time, every time he brings bad news, the last general thinks that's it."

Yang Tong smiled: "It's not all. ”

Yin Mingyue swore an oath: "The last general feels like this." ”

"Holy! Good news! The gentle and elegant Fang Xuanling walked in with a smile on his face while holding a pile of papers.

"Hehe......" Yang Tong smiled and looked at Yin Mingyue.

"......" The eggplant with the bright moon like frost wilted all of a sudden, her whole world was all black and white, and the handsome Fang Xuanling was even more dazzling and particularly eye-catching.
