Outside the Taihe Hall of the Eastern Imperial Palace, the sun is on the head, the sky is cloudless, and it is a rare good weather in early spring.

The big flag of the word "Sui" fluttered in the wind, the soldiers holding the flag did not move, and in the Taihe Palace, Yang Guang sat on the dragon chair, and there was a beautiful palace maid holding a guard of honor on both sides.

In front of the Taihe Hall is a large and flat field, with various flags fluttering. On the square in front of this palace, the guards of the forbidden army are neatly arranged in a phalanx to guard the four corners, all wearing heavy armor, shining in cold light, and extremely powerful.

However, although there were a lot of soldiers here, there was silence in the crowd, which showed that the Sui army was indeed well-trained, even if it was a pampered forbidden soldier.

Yu Wenming was led by a celebrant eunuch into the square in front of the palace.

Although it was the first time for him to come to this palace to face the saint, his face was still the same, and he already had the style of a general. He is much more confident now than he was when he crossed over.

In addition to seeing too many historical celebrities and experiencing a series of intrigue and battles, the most important thing is to practice immortality. This Taoist supreme internal strength not only strengthened his physique, but also invisibly changed his temperament, so that Yu Wenming had a sense of confidence and profundity in his gestures. It gives him a sense of stability beyond his age.

Under the attention of the officials in the hall, Yu Wenming walked into the hall, and his gaze involuntarily cast to Yang Guang, who was sitting on the dragon chair.

I saw that Yang Guang, a famous tyrant in history, was not as vicious as he imagined. Instead, he has two locks of long beard, fair skin, graceful and luxurious temperament, and his appearance is quite emperor-like, but he may be a little obese because of his pampering.

At this time, under the reminder of the master of ceremonies, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and saluted: "Xiao Minyu is civilized, meet the emperor!" Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray!

Seeing this, Yang Guang smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Young man, let's be flat!" You're amazing! Not only was I able to take the lead in the poetry competition, but I was also able to solve the problems raised by the Great Food Messenger, which was really gratifying! ”

Yu Wenming hurriedly said: "Xiaomin is also a part of the Great Sui, and it is the duty of Xiaomin to share his worries for His Majesty!" ”

Now it is the court meeting of the Great Sui, and the ministers in the palace have just finished discussing the arrangements for sending troops to Tuyuhun three days later. Immediately afterwards, Yang Guang announced that Musharraf, the messenger of the Great Eclipse, had come to the temple and informed him of the answer.

Musharraf was also amazed when he saw the answer, and even said that he was willing to sign a trade agreement and sell good horses and weapons to the Sui Dynasty. But I want to meet the person who solved the problem.

Yang Guang was in a good mood at this time, and he also wanted to reward Yu Wenming, who had made great contributions, by the way, so he announced that he would go to the palace to listen to the seal.

Yu Wenming noticed that among the ministers on both sides of the hall, in addition to his grandfather Yu Wenshu and his father Yu Wenhua, there was also a middle-aged man with a beard wearing a white turban and a white robe, about thirty years old, with deep eyes and a high nose, presumably it was Mubashaf, the great food envoy.

At this moment, when Mubashaf saw Yu Wenming, his face was also full of surprise, and his eyes showed a look of complete disbelief.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui, Lord Changsun Sheng, how can you lie to me? It was said that this kid solved the problem. Isn't this deliberately teasing me and insulting us? Mubashaf then shouted angrily.

In his opinion, Yu Wenming is just a teenager, and he is afraid that he has been studying since his mother's womb, and it is only twelve or thirteen years, how can he solve such a difficult problem? If it is said that the people of the Central Plains are so smart, then how come Changsun Sheng and those emperor ministers of the Sui Dynasty can't solve it in more than a month?

Therefore, Mubashaf naturally thought that it was the monarchs and ministers of the Sui Dynasty who finally found the wise man and finally solved these three problems, and then in order to vent his dissatisfaction with the big food, he randomly found a young man and pretended to be the one he solved, so as to humiliate himself.

At this time, Changsun Sheng hurriedly came out and said, "Lord Mubashaf, you have misunderstood. If you don't believe it, he can dictate the process of solving the problem to you on the spot! ”

"No need! If you dare to let him come to the temple to see me, you must have let him memorize it well before then. It's useless for me to ask him again! "Just because Mubashaf is stubborn doesn't mean he doesn't have a brain.

He immediately said, "If this young man is really that powerful, then he will definitely be able to solve my other three problems?" If he can't figure it out, don't blame me for being rude! ”

After Yang Guang heard this, his face suddenly showed displeasure, because when Mubashaf said this, he seemed to have a sense of repentance.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Changsun Sheng hurriedly reprimanded: "Lord Mubashaf, this is your mistake!" As we said before, as long as you can solve these three problems, you will sign a trade agreement with us and sell us 500 high-quality food horses and 200 black steel knives. Now that we have solved the problem, you want to make extraneous branches, which is too discrediting! ”

When Mubashaf heard Changsun Sheng say that he was not keeping his word. also blushed and said loudly: "We big cannibals have always said one or the other, how can we regret what we promised?" If this boy can really solve the other three problems I came up with on the spot. I agreed to transport 1,000 high-grade war horses and 500 black steel knives to you from the Great Food within three years! That's okay, right? ”

After Yang Guang heard this, his heart moved, if he could really double the agreed war horse and black steel knife, it would be very good. It's just that he was a little worried that this Yu Wenming wouldn't be able to answer.

At this time, Yu Wenshu and Yu Wenhua and the two fathers and sons, who were standing at the foot of the steps, were already in a cold sweat, they never expected that the saint had praised him a lot before, and the so-called prodigy who answered the question of the Great Food Envoy turned out to be Yu Wenming.

Yu Wenhua was also a little anxious at the moment, and the question that Mubashaf came out with before made so many ministers of the DPRK and China, as well as the famous Confucian scholars of Guozixue, unable to answer. Now that this person is embarrassed and angry, the next questions must be much more difficult than the previous three questions. My son is only 12 years old, and he has only read a few books of "Analects" and "Book of Songs", can he answer it?

Yu Wenshu also had the same thoughts as him, and he also thought that his grandson was just by mistake, and he just solved the problem of the Great Food Envoy, and now that people are vigilant, the new topic may be much more difficult than the old one. If Yu Wenming fails to solve Mubashaf's new problem, he is afraid that the previous achievements and Yang Guang's appreciation will be wasted, and even cause a catastrophe. After all, Yang Guang's moodiness is well known to all the ministers in the court.

So, Yu Wenshu hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Yang Guang and said, "Your Majesty, Yu Wenming is the grandson of the old minister, he is only twelve years old, young and ignorant. I was able to solve the problem of the Great Food Messenger before, and I am afraid that it was mostly due to luck. Since Lord Mubashaf is going to ask the question again, it must be quite difficult. According to the old ministers, it is still the best policy for the ministers of the DPRK and China to work together, supplemented by the research of the bachelors of Guozixue! ”

His words can be described as extremely smooth, not only to free Yu Wenming, but also to envelop all the ministers in the court, even if he really can't solve the problem, Yang Guang can't ask all the ministers to blame.

However, his wishful thinking, how could these scheming ministers in the court not know? How could Yuwenshu's political enemies let go of this opportunity to make Yuwen's family look ugly?

Before Yang Guang could speak, Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, took the lead and said: "General Yuwen's words are wrong, although Sun is young, only twelve years old, he may not be able to solve the problem. During the Warring States period, Ganluo was also twelve years old, which shows whether a person is talented or not, not whether he is young or old...... What's more, more than a month ago, Ling Sun made a splash at the poetry competition, bravely came out on top, and overwhelmed so many children of the family. General Yuwen sees that there is a successor! , how can you let go of this opportunity to make Ling Sun contribution? ”

After Yu Wenshu heard this, his face changed suddenly. This Yang Xuangan is the son of his old rival Yang Su.

More than ten years ago, when most of the courtiers supported Yang Yong, the crown prince of the former emperor Yang Jian, Yang Suyin unexpectedly threw himself into Yang Guang, who was still the king of Jin at that time, and urged Yang Jian to change the crown prince, which made a contribution to Yang Guang's later emperor. and successfully extinguished the rebellion of Yang Liang, the king of Han, at the beginning of Yang Guang's ascension to the throne.

Therefore, Yang Su** was in power for a while, and he occupied all the honorable positions such as Taishi Taibao, Yue Guogong, Shangshu Lingzuo Servant, etc., and his friends spread all over the court.

However, with the death of Yang Su last year, the power of the Yang Party also declined. Yang Xuangan, as the new head of the Yang family, although he held the position of secretary of the military department, his power was greatly reduced. Because without the emperor's holy decree and tiger talisman, the military department could not mobilize a single soldier at all. And Yang Xuangan's brothers, Yang Xuanxian, Yang Xuanzong, Yang Jishan, etc., are not in the climate. The biggest official is only the guardian of a county.

On the contrary, Yu Wenshu was very favored by Yang Guang, not only became the general of Zuo Lingwei, but his eldest son Yu Wenhua was not learned or skilled, and he was arrogant and lascivious, and had a very bad reputation in the eastern capital, and was known as a light and thin son. But he also became a servant Shaoqing from the fourth grade.

Yang Guang even married his eldest daughter, Princess Nanyang, to Yuwenshu's second son, Yuwenshi and his wife, making the Yuwen family a relative of the emperor. This made Yang Xuangan and others feel extremely unbalanced, thinking that the saint had mistreated the Yang family. Before Yu Wenming was an illegitimate child, it was the result of Yang Xuan's conspiracy with Yang Xuangan after he found out. And this also made the battle between Guan Longyu Wen and Hongnong Yang reach a white-hot level.

At this time, Yang Guang listened to the words of the two sides, but smiled slightly: "Yuwenqing's family doesn't have to worry. To enable Sun to solve the three problems before is already a great contribution to me. Even if you can't solve the last three questions, it won't get in the way...... Of course, if I can solve Mubashaf's problem again, it will be the icing on the cake! ”

Speaking of this, he turned his gaze to Yu Wenming and asked in a very expectant tone, "Yu Wenming, do you dare to fight for the Great Sui?" Answer Mubashaf's new question! If you can answer, I will give you a great reward! ”
