Speaking of this, Yu Shu said with a disdainful face: "But Yang Guang has used this strategy once a year ago, and it has aroused the anger of the heavens, and he dares to use it again, but it is really poor in donkey skills." I estimate that this expedition will inevitably cause a lot of trouble. You and Chengdu are now the rising stars of my Yu Valve, and Yang Guang will never let you go. You will definitely be recruited to join the expeditionary army, and you will have to be very careful to preserve your strength, and don't die like the last two expeditions! ”

Yu Ming naturally nodded again and again, indicating that he would do so.

At this time, Yu Shufang raised his hand and slapped Yu Ming on the shoulder, and said expectantly: "My Yu family seems to be prosperous, but in fact, it is a little green. Your father's generation, their brothers, in fact, I don't like it. In times of peace, they might be able to be competent ministers. But in these troubled times, neither your father nor your two uncles have the talent of a general......"

"Your generation, whether it is Yucheng who was strongly recommended by your second uncle in front of me, or Yujie who was touted by your uncle in front of me, is far from you and Chengdu...... Although Chengdu is good, it only focuses on fighting wars and going head-to-head with others. He can be an outstanding brave general, but he can't be a good commander, let alone achieve great things! Yu Shu coughed twice, and then continued: "So, what will happen to my Yu clan in the future, the key is up to you!" ”

After Yu Ming heard this, his heart was shocked, he also knew that his grandfather liked him very much, but he only thought that it was just a normal grandfather's liking for a grandson with outstanding ability. He never expected that Yu Shu would have such high expectations for himself, believing that he was the hope of the Yu clan in the future.

"Grandpa, you have such high expectations for me, I'm just afraid that I won't do well and live up to your expectations." Yu Ming couldn't help but say embarrassed.

Yushu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ming'er, you don't have any ideological baggage, just do what you have to do!" I'm sure you're sitting on the right decision. When you go to Liaodong in the future, you will bring the Eighteen Iron Guards and Zuo Ling Guards! Now you are also the general of the Zuoling Guard, and you have the right to command these old subordinates of mine! ”

Yu Ming was grateful in his heart, held Yu Shu's hand tightly, and said, "Grandpa, I will definitely work hard!" I will definitely carry the Yu family forward......"

Speaking of this, he swallowed his saliva violently, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, in fact, I am not a person without ambition, if it is really possible, I will strive to reproduce the glory of Da Zhou!" Don't worry! ”

Crossing over to the Great Sui, in addition to his wife and eldest grandson Wujian and mother Xiao Wanjun, the best thing for him is Yushu. He let Yuming experience the love of his ancestors and grandchildren that he had not experienced in his previous life, and made him feel the warmth of family affection.

After Yushu heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and a cheerful smile appeared on his wrinkled face......

……

At this time, inside the palace.

Pei Ju hurried across the Dulwich Hall Square under the guidance of the two eunuchs and walked up the steps.

"Pei Xiangguo, please here, the lantern over there is out, the light is a little dim, be careful."

As he walked up the steps, one of the guards kindly reminded him that Pei Jufang had carefully climbed the steps, and Yue Zeng had been waiting there for a long time.

When he saw Pei Ju coming, Fang smiled slightly and said, "Pei Xiangguo, the Holy Lord has been waiting for you in the imperial study for a long time, please come with me." ”

So he led the way. Pei Ju followed closely, and after a while, Yue Zeng deliberately slowed down.

Pei Ju walked up to him, stuffed a gold ingot into his arms, and then asked in a low voice, "Father-in-law, I don't know why Your Majesty urgently summoned me?" ”

Yue Zeng Province took a handful of this ingot of gold, and it was estimated that it was about ten taels. He was very happy in his heart, Fang narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Pei Xiangguo can rest assured!" It's a great thing that Your Majesty has summoned you, and it is estimated that he wants to make a move on the Guanlongmen valve! ”

"So fast?" After Pei Ju heard this, he was slightly surprised, because he knew that Yang Guang's recent series of actions seemed to be preparing to conquer Goryeo. Why did you suddenly want to attack the Guanlongmen valve?

Yue Zeng Province smiled slightly: "The Holy Lord has already discussed this matter with Yu Xiangguo, Wei Xiangguo and Fan Xiangguo, and today the Holy Lord summoned Pei Xiangguo, and it is estimated that he will make the final decision." ”

Pei Ju's complexion changed suddenly, and he secretly thought that Yu Shiji, Wei Xuan, and Fan Gai were not the people who closed the Longmen valve, but they were in a high position in Xiangguo. The Holy Lord summoned this person and himself alone, I am afraid that he really has the intention of attacking the Guanlongmen valve.

Could it be that the saint's previous statement that he was going to conquer Goryeo was just a pretense?

Pei Ju was puzzled, but at this time he was thinking more about Yang Guang's thoughts. Instead, he calculated how much he could benefit from this struggle against the Guanlong Sect Dynasty.

After a while, they had already walked to the front of the imperial study, and Yue Zeng Province went first to report for him, and after a while, he came out and said, "Master Pei, the Holy Lord announced that you go in." ”

Pei Ju hurriedly tidied up his clothes and hats, and then walked quickly into the imperial study.

At this time, Yang Guang was flipping through the folds presented by various places at his desk. Seeing this, Pei Ju hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Minister Pei Ju see Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Guang raised his head, put down his pen and said, "Pei Aiqing, please take a seat, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Weichen Shanshan is late, please forgive your majesty!" Pei Ju arched his hand.

"It's not Pei Aiqing's fault, it's because I'm in a hurry, I hope I didn't disturb Aiqing's rest." Yang Guang smiled, and then said to Yue Zeng Province and the two eunuchs who were grinding ink next to him: "Zeng Province, you should retreat first!" ”

Yue Zeng Province and other famous eunuchs retreated one after another and walked out of the door.

Yang Guang said squarely at this time: "I came to Aiqing because I want to ask for your opinion. Now I have received reports from all quarters that the Guanlongmen valve has been on the verge lately. Whether it is the Yu clan or the Dugu clan, the Yuan clan or the Li clan, they are recruiting soldiers in various places as county guards and county commanders. Of course, they all found all kinds of legitimate reasons, such as to exterminate the bandits, to guard against thieves, and to deal with the Turks, Goryeo, and so on......"

"I know that some of these people are sincere in exterminating bandits for the Great Sui. But if you want to fish in troubled waters, Yang Xuan is afraid that there are not a few people who rebel against the thief. It is not known whether these people have such thoughts themselves, or whether they are acting for the family. Therefore, I had an immature idea to take the opportunity of this expedition to Goryeo to lure the snake out of the hole. Yang Guang said a plan that surprised Pei Ju.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Therefore, I told another Xiangguo who was not related to Longguo about this plan. However, the reaction of the prime minister country was different. Yu Xiangguo was very much in favor, but Wei Xiangguo was strongly opposed, and Fan Xiangguo seemed to be neutral, saying that everything was up to me, and he would support everything regardless of whether the plan was implemented or not. Therefore, I am also a little hesitant to see your state. ”

Yang Guang trusted Pei Ju and Yu Shiji the most in solving the problem of the Guanlong aristocracy, Pei Ju was born in the Shandong Shi clan, and Yu Shiji was born in the Nanchen family, both of which had deep contradictions with the Guanlong aristocracy. Therefore, when it comes to these big issues, he has to discuss with Pei Ju and Yu Shiji.

Now, he looked at Pei Ju with hope, hoping that he could give him a good advice.

Pei Ju has been Yang Guang's confidant for more than ten years, as early as when Yang Guang was still the king of Jin, Pei Ju became one of the important ministers loyal to Yang Guang together with Yushu, Yang Su and others.

Later, Yang Guang became the master of the East Palace, and even later ascended the throne, Pei Ju made great contributions, it can be said that he was Yang Guang's most trusted confidant minister, and his cousin Pei Yun also became one of the ministers of the imperial court. Since the Western Han Dynasty, two of the six Shangshu have been held by people from the same family, and this is the first time.

Although Pei Ju's career has also had ups and downs, Yang Guang's trust in him has not changed.

Moreover, it is this tacit cooperation between the monarchs and ministers for more than ten years that Pei Ju has a good understanding of Yang Guang's temperament, and he knows that Yang Guang is a conceited person in his bones. Of course, it can also be said to be rigid and self-serving. In fact, he had already made up his mind about many things, and the so-called asking for the minister's opinion was just a gesture of being a corporal of courtesy. What he wants is for the minister to agree to his idea, and if the minister is interested and agrees to agree, Yang Guang will be happy; And if the minister's opinion is different from his, he will be very annoyed in his heart, and he will reprimand and even punish him.

Therefore, the key to whether a minister can be favored by the emperor is to be good at the holy will, Yu Shiji, Yu Shu, Li Yuan, Pei Yun, including him Pei Ju, all of them.

All this, Pei Ju knows very well in his heart. He also knew that if Yang Guang didn't want to implement the plan of "luring the snake out of the hole", he would directly veto it, and he would not discuss it with the ministers at all, he had already made a decision in his heart, but he just needed a few ministers to find a reason for him in order to implement it smoothly.

Pei Ju thought for a while, and then asked carefully: "Your Majesty, I don't know why Wei Xiangguo wants to oppose this plan?" ”

Yang Guang picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said lightly: "Wei Xiangguo thinks that if there are really people in Guanlong who rebel, it will lead to chaos in Guanzhong. Let the surname suffer calamity. He felt that Guanzhong was the richest area in my Great Sui and the foundation of my Great Sui country, and he should not use an important place like Guanzhong to lure the Guanlongmen valve to make mistakes. ”

After hearing this, Pei Ju shook his head and said: "This reason is untenable, Guanzhong is indeed important, but is it not important elsewhere?" Hebei, Hedong, Shandong, Henan, Jiangnan, Bashu, Jingxiang...... Which place is not the territory of the Great Sui? Other places can be sacrificed, can Guanzhong only be carefully held in his hands? ”

Speaking of this, he smiled slightly: "But it's not surprising that Wei Xiangguo can say this." ”

"Oh? Why did Pei Xiangguo say this? Yang Guang was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
