After entering the Eastern Capital, the group was about to separate.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Yuming, as the main and deputy envoys of the Turkic envoys this time, naturally wanted to return to the palace to resume their lives. The generals and the soldiers who served as escorts went back to their homes.

Yuming originally thought that Red Sleeves would return to Li Jing's home, but she said that she wanted to move in with Shumeng. said that he planned to learn medical skills from Shumeng. In the future, you can also save yourself and others on the battlefield.

"Alright! Then sister, take care! Yu Ming admonished the red sleeves, and then bowed to Shumeng and said, "Shumeng girl, you are really indispensable to this envoy to the Turks. When we meet the saints, I will definitely ask Your Majesty to reward you! ”

Shumeng shook lightly, and Liu Mei frowned and said: "General Yu, there is no need to reward you!" Shumeng has only saved the world all his life, and has never thought of getting any royal rewards. However, what the general said above about establishing a field medical treatment team to reduce the mortality rate of wounded soldiers made Shu Meng very interested. I'll talk to Sister Redsleeve about it and see if I can recruit some volunteers that will come in handy on my next expedition to Goryeo! ”

"Good! I'll leave this matter to the Dream Girl! I hope we can have the opportunity to work together again! After Yu Ming heard this, he was also very happy, he had a good impression of this strange girl who combines medical skills and beauty and does not seem to eat fireworks in the world.

After saying goodbye to Shumeng and Red Sleeves, Yuming went to the palace with his eldest grandson Wuji.

At this time, Yang Guangzheng, together with Queen Xiao and Princess Luo Qi, watched the blooming plum blossoms in the back garden.

He had already received a report that the mission to the Turks had been a great success, despite several setbacks. I was also very happy. Hearing that Yue Zeng reported that Yuming and the eldest grandson Wuji had returned to Luoyang safely, and when they were about to come to restore their lives, they couldn't help but say: "Call them to the back garden!" I'm about to ask about the situation on the grassland! ”

When the emperor receives ministers, it should generally be in the Jinluan Palace, and a little more casually in the imperial study. It's rare to be met in the back garden like this. However, this also fully shows how happy Yang Guang is now.

Yu Ming and Eldest Sun Wuji followed Yue Zeng to a pavilion in the Imperial Garden, and then kowtowed together and saluted: "The minister's envoy to the Turks has been completed, and I have come to report to Your Majesty!" ”

"Two Aiqing, please get up!" Yang Guang sat on a stone bench in the pavilion and raised his hand to signal them to flatten.

"Some time ago, I received a telegram from Biansai, saying that your trip to the Turks was a great success, although the Khan of Qimin could not save you. But the new successor Shibi Khan still agreed to form an alliance with my Great Sui and be friendly for generations, which is a big stone in my heart! Yang Guang laughed heartily, then pointed to the two stone benches in front of him and said, "Two Aiqing, sit down!" Tell me more about your trip to the grassland! ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji and Yuming, hurriedly got up and sat down on the stone bench.

"Your Majesty, we are going to the grassland, it is really thrilling. After leaving Mayi in the north, we chose the nearest path and crossed the territory of the Xuyantuo tribe...... "The eldest grandson Wuji brought the whole process of their trip to Yang Guangyi.

Yu Ming added from time to time so that Yang Guang could better understand the current situation on the grassland.

The two talked for more than half an hour, and they were a little dry before they could barely finish speaking.

Yang Guang, Empress Xiao, and Yang Luoqi were all amazed when they heard it, but they didn't expect that this time they would go to the Turks with twists and turns on the way, and they had experienced so many changes.

When he heard that Yuming decisively decided to kill the Western Turkic envoy Bohan and force Du Ji to his side, both Yang Guang and Yang Luoqi praised loudly.

After a while, Yang Guangfang smiled slightly, stroked the long beard under his chin and said: "Eldest grandson Wuji, there was still a lot of controversy in the DPRK and China about whether you could serve as a regular envoy to the Turks, and many ministers thought that you were young and had no previous qualifications to visit foreign countries, so you were unable to take on such a heavy responsibility. ”

"But I think that you have a fatherly style, and you are more than capable of this mission. Now it seems that I am not wrong! Tomorrow morning, I will announce that I will officially appoint you as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. It's kind of letting you step your father's business! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was greatly pleased, and the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple was a high-ranking official from the fourth. Although nominally Shaoqing is a deputy position, Qingqing is the main position. But the position of Honglu Siqing has been vacant all the time. He, the power of the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, can be regarded as the power of Honglu Temple.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson Wuji immediately knelt down and kowtowed his head heavily, his face full of joy. He knew in his heart that as long as he worked hard in this position for a few years and successfully completed some mission tasks, it was only a matter of raising his hands to be promoted to Honglu Siqing. Restoring the glory of his father, Sun Sheng, is just around the corner.

Yang Guang then smiled and said to Yu Ming: "Yu Aiqing, this time I asked you to serve as the deputy envoy of the envoy corps, in fact, I want you to shoulder the responsibility of defending the envoy and the medical immortal to express your dreams. But what I didn't expect was that you would be a martial artist and play such a huge role in the mission to the Turks. ”

"I also looked at the report of the fast horse sent by Wang Rengong earlier. Knowing that this envoy sent to the Turks, if you had not made a decisive decision, I am afraid that the situation on the steppe would be unimaginable. Whether it is the alliance between Duji and the Western Turks, or the Tiele people defeating the Turks, our Great Sui will face a formidable enemy......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said with emotion: "But what I never expected was that you were able to turn the tide, not only subduing the Xuyantuo people, killing the Western Turkic envoys, but also leading the Turkic army to defeat the Tiele people. Got the best result for me. Now that the northern border of our Great Sui is safe and sound, I can concentrate my forces to attack Goryeo again......"

Just when Yang Guang was about to discuss the expedition to Goryeo with Yuming again, Yang Luoqi, who was listening on the side, objected with some excitement: "Father, it's better not to conquer Goryeo again!" For example, today there are bandits everywhere, the people are struggling to make a living, and the treasury is empty. The daughter thinks that the people should be given time to recuperate, and it is the foundation of the country to calm down the rampant bandits! ”

"Play the piano indiscriminately! Goryeo is my great rival of the Great Sui, and if it weren't for the plague and Yang Xuangan's rebellion in the first two expeditions, Goryeo would have been pacified. Now, although there are bandits in some places in our Great Sui, Goryeo has also been greatly reduced in strength and exhausted by us. Now, as long as we work harder, we can completely destroy Goryeo and expand the land of Liaodong into a new county. Let me have no more borders on the northeastern border of Dasui. How can such a major event that benefits the country and the people be abandoned halfway? Yang Guangdang scolded angrily.

When Yang Luoqi heard his father's reprimand, her pretty eyes welled with tears, and she couldn't cry: "Father, the number of refugees and hungry people on the streets of Luoyang has increased several times compared to a few months ago. And Zhai Rang of Nawa Gangzhai, after Li Mi joined, also won several battles in a row, breaking through many counties in Henan County and Pingyuan County, threatening Luokoucang. ”

"My daughter thinks that the main reason why the bandits in the country are getting bigger and bigger now is that there are many taxes, especially the money and grain temporarily collected for the expedition to Goryeo, which makes the people in the world, especially in the north, miserable! Therefore, instead of waging foreign wars, we should now stabilize the domestic situation...... The army should be concentrated on exterminating the bandits......" Yang Luoqi still persuaded without giving up.

"Enough! Lucky, Father's patience is limited! Yang Guang was also angry at this time, and pointed to the outside of the pavilion and said, "You give me out!" A daughter's family, don't get involved in discussing these military affairs in the future! ”

Yang Luoqi immediately hid her face and cried, covered her face, and ran away with a cry.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is going to see Luo Qi!" Empress Xiao felt sorry for her daughter, and said hurriedly.

"Okay!" Yang Guang nodded impatiently. The good mood just now is gone.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji asked to retire with interest.

"Okay! I won't talk about these things today, but I'll talk about it tomorrow morning! Yang Guang also said a little tiredly: "This time to the Turks, which soldiers fought bravely and made meritorious achievements, you report a list, and I will transfer it to the military department, so that they can be rewarded and rewarded!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yu Ming was overjoyed, he was worried that he didn't have the opportunity to ask Yang Guang for a reward for his subordinates. But Yang Guang really didn't forget about the reward, which made him worry a lot.

Immediately, Yuming and the eldest grandson Wuji bowed together and saluted, and then retired together.

After the two left, Yang Guangfang slapped his palm on the stone table in the pavilion, feeling depressed. He didn't expect that his most beloved daughter didn't understand his distress either. thought he was a faint king and tyrant who was forcibly expropriated and tyrannical.

In fact, he didn't know that if there were bandits everywhere today. But in his opinion, these mud-legged rebellions will never become an atmosphere, and at most they can only cause some harassment to the local government. But the threat of Goryeo was real. If you don't take advantage of Goryeo's current vitality to give it a fatal blow. When it recovers, it will be difficult to destroy it again.

And if the threat of Goryeo is not lifted, then the northeastern border of the Great Sui will never be peaceful. Yang Guangke knew very well that the kings of Goryeo had taken it as their goal to enter the Central Plains. The Great Sui was close to several counties in Goryeo, and was harassed by it for a long time, and the border people have been miserable. But why can't these ministers and surnames understand?

Yang Guang only felt that his mood was very heavy, he picked up a wine glass on the table, and drank the wine in the cup violently. Then "Huo" stood up and shouted with a hideous face: "No one wants to stop me from conquering Goryeo!" I want to let the world understand: what the emperor failed to do, I can accomplish! I want to make the whole of Liaodong a new territory of my Great Sui! ”
