In the court, the officials trembled and did not dare to raise their heads. Only Li Jing and Qin Qiong, who were at the head of the military ranks, stood aside expressionlessly, looking out of place with other people.

Yang Ying looked at the performance of these people in front of him and couldn't laugh a little, when he first arrived in the world, Yang Ying knew that the Yuwen Lord's rebellion was inevitable, but he didn't expect to become the king so soon.

Only two months after Yang Ying escaped from the Jiangdu Palace, Yu Wenhua couldn't wait to announce his independence from the Sui Dynasty and establish the Northern Zhou Dynasty, in an attempt to restore the glory of his ancestors, proclaimed himself the king of Zhou, and made Jiangdu the capital.

With Yuwen Chengdu as the leader, the rebel leaders also set themselves up as kings.

Yang Ying's reaction to these people was not surprised at all, but Li Valve's performance was a big surprise. Li Yuan sent an envoy to meet the emperor, hoping that the emperor would decree that he would be crowned the king of Tang, and he was willing to lead his troops to fight against the rebels.

Yang Ying lay on her back on the dragon chair, holding her head with one hand and tapping rhythmically on the desk in front of her with the other. Looking at the roof, it looked a little hollow, and I didn't know what I was thinking.

The emperor didn't speak, and the ministers in the palace slowly lost the panic of learning the news just now, Yu Wenhua and the original emperor's favored ministers, but now they are the first to openly rebel, and all the ministers secretly guess that the emperor will be furious, no one dares to anger Long Yan, afraid that one will accidentally lose the black veil on his head.

Needles can be heard in the main hall.

After a while, Yang Ying said slowly: "What do you think of Li Yuan's request?"

Hearing Yang Ying's words, the ministers raised their heads cautiously, and found that the emperor was not angry, his face was calm, and when he looked closely, he would still find that he was a little helpless.

The ministers looked at the emperor, and they all lowered their heads and did not speak.

After seeing the reactions of the ministers, Yang Ying made up his mind to find some capable ministers to assist him.

"Retreat from the dynasty, Qin Qiong and Li Jing, Yuwen Chengdu stays," Yang Ying said in a low voice.

After the minister withdrew, he instructed Xiao Lizi standing behind him: "Little Lizi, go and bring Ergou, arrange a banquet by the way, bring the newly brewed wine, and taste the taste of spirits."

Half an hour later, in the imperial study, Yang Ying, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Yuwen Chengdu, Ergou, and Xiao Lizi sat in the banquet.

Yang Ying sat on the main seat, Xiao Lizi and Ergou sat on both sides, and Li Jing, Qin Qiong, and Yuwen Chengdu sat opposite Yang Ying.

Ergou looked cautious all over, it was the first time for him to eat such a rich dish on such an occasion, half sitting on a chair, his feet together, he was still a little trembling when he looked closely, the bowl was almost full of white rice, and he didn't see what dishes he was going to take, and sometimes he would look at Yang Ying respectfully, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Although the others were not as restrained as Ergou, they were also cautious.

Yang Ying watched the movements of several people cautiously, picked up the wine glass containing the spirits, and said: "I can trust several of them, don't be so restrained, come and taste my newly brewed spirits to see how it is different from ordinary wine."

After speaking, they took a sip, Xiao Li Zi and Ergou learned from Yang Ying's appearance, they only took a slight sip, but Li Jing and Qin Qiong were different, the two saw that the wine glass was very small, and they drank it in one sip, and suddenly their throats were like fire, and they exclaimed: "This wine is really delicious"

"Brother Li, Brother Qin, Chengdu, how does this wine taste" Yang Ying said with a smile, as if he knew the movements of the three of them in advance, and deliberately watched them make a fool of themselves.

"Your Majesty, this wine is delicious enough, it's the first time I've drunk such a strong wine" Yuwen Chengdu sighed, Li Jing and Qin Qiong rarely talk about life, this is echoing the way and nodded.

Yang Ying was very satisfied with the evaluation of the three people, so she started today's topic.

Yang Ying looked at the three people in front of him, Yuwen Chengdu is brave, resolute, and gracious, but he doesn't know how to advance and retreat, he can only be a fierce general who charges into battle, not a handsome, Qin Qiong is a little weak in temperament, but lacks foresight, and can be a general, while Li Jing dares to be bold, brave and strategic, and is suitable as the commander of the whole army, but there is still a lack of some exercise.

"What do you think about the format of today," Yang said.

Li Jing and Qin Qiong fell into deep thought, and after half a quarter of an hour, Li Jing said: "Now the leader of the rebel army says that the king is unstoppable, and after claiming the king, he is likely to come back to attack Chang'an, and Li Valve obviously uses the emperor's mouth to seal the king and expand the territory in the name of King Qin, so it seems justifiable, standing on the side of righteousness, after the rebellion is quelled, as long as the emperor dies unconsciously, he can ascend the throne under the slogan of choosing Mingjun, which is a good calculation."

Yang Ying stared at Li Jing and said, "Brother Li has a good plan"

Li Jing shook his head and said: "If I lead the troops to fight, I still have a plan, but I can't do anything about such a political matter."

Immediately, Yuwen Chengdu said: "I think the top priority is to train the troops, and when the soldiers are strong and strong, any calculation is futile."

Yang Ying smiled bitterly and said, "It's only like this."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Ying said to the three of them: "I plan to cultivate some basic martial arts from soldiers to generals to improve the overall physical strength, do you have any suitable martial arts for soldiers to practice?"

"Your Majesty, I have also heard of this army practicing martial arts, but not all martial arts can be, the duel between the two armies generally needs to form a battle formation to attack, and the general martial arts can only fight alone, if the battle formation is formed, it will not play a role, and even the battle array will be flawed because it cannot be perfectly coordinated."

"It seems that I want to be simple" Yang Ying had never understood why he didn't see the army practicing martial arts, but it turned out that the problem was here.

"After Chengdu, you will be the commander of the forbidden army, responsible for guarding Chang'an, and Brother Li and Brother Qin will be responsible for training the army, if there is any need, just mention it."

After Li Jing finished speaking, he took out a drawing from his clothes and said to Yang Ying: "This is a weapon for the cavalry, Modao, I hope the emperor can provide this weapon to form a Modao army."

"Okay, I'll find a way to provide it for you," Yang Ying nodded and replied.

Then Yang Ying thought of the problem of silver again, so he turned his head sideways: "Ergou, don't you want to make a lot of money, how do you think this wine should be sold in the market?"

When Ergou heard Yang Ying's question, he knew that the emperor was taking the opportunity to test himself, and knew that his opportunity had come.

Ergou hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, sat up straight and said cautiously: "If this is just a random restaurant to sell, I believe that customers will soon be able to compete to buy, but this is estimated to make very little money, the price is too high only rich people to buy, the price is too low and I can't make much money." ”

When he said this, he took a sip of the wine glass and said, "Divide this wine into three different prices, one is sold at the market price, and the second is mixed with water to make the wine better than the market, the second is only mixed with a little water, and is offered to the rich merchants and nobles at ten times the market price, and the third is priceless, and it is used as a royal tribute wine, and it is advertised that only courtiers who have made great contributions to the Great Sui can be rewarded."

Ergou looked at Yang Ying with a mysterious look and sold Guanzi. Yang Ying was not displeased: "Say it quickly"

"Isn't the emperor lacking time to develop now, the rebels are eyeing Chang'an, since they have already claimed the king, the emperor simply named them kings, first showed weakness to them, and gave them some tribute wine as a reward."

Ergou looked at Yang Ying and said: "Anyway, the king is just a false name, and there is no need to give them any rights, and as a reward, the name of the tribute wine will be promoted, and its value will be revealed, and if you want to drink this tribute wine in the future, you must exchange it for things, its value is not priceless, this time the king can also transfer the spearhead from the emperor's side, let them eat dogs, and we also have time to develop"

"Okay, what a plan to kill two birds with one stone, I underestimated you, you have solved my urgent need with this plan, whatever reward you want, as long as I have it, I can reward you" Yang Ying said excitedly.

"It's the blessing of the villain to be able to share it for the emperor, I don't dare to ask for anything, it's just that the villain has no parents and no surname since he was a child, please give me a surname" Ergou knelt on the ground and said.

Yang Ying suddenly felt that Ergou was a great talent, although he was born poor, but he could calmly let go in the face of glory and wealth, he was flexible, not arrogant, knew how to hide clumsy, and would be famous all over the world in time.

"Okay, I'll agree to your request and give you the surname Yang, do I need to think of a name for you?"

"Thank you for the emperor's reward, although Ergou is not very good, but he is a villager who raised me, so he will not change it" Ergou did not hesitate when he spoke, affectionate and calm.

Yang Ying couldn't help but improve Ergou's evaluation a little more.

"Come, Brother Ergou, I toast you, I didn't expect Brother Ergou to be a great talent" Li Jing also admired Ergou very much, but he didn't expect that people who usually don't have anything outstanding could come up with this good plan.

"You are all my right-hand men, I believe that with you, I am not far from reunification, come to do this cup" Yang Ying also stood up, and suddenly said with great pride.

"Okay, ......"

After a few people drank wine, it seemed that the identity barrier had disappeared, and after finishing the business, they casually chatted about interesting things in the north and south of the world.

No one expected that after drinking three glasses, Yang Ying stood up with a red face, pounced on the maid who was pouring wine on the side, and said: "Come to love the concubine, drink"

After saying that, he fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Li Jing and Qin Qiong thought that Yang Ying's alcohol was poor, and they would get drunk after three glasses of wine.

And only Ergou and Xiao Lizi knew that this was not accidental, and couldn't help but look at each other.

It turned out that after drinking three glasses of wine with Li Zhi last time, Xiao Lizi thought that Yang Ying had some hidden disease, so he found Sunflower Ancestor, and learned from Sunflower Ancestor that Yang Ying drank a lot of medicinal wine, and because he couldn't absorb it, Yang Ying drank three glasses in the future and poured it down. It just so happened that the people who knew about it always forgot to tell Yang Ying, and Yang Ying didn't remember what happened every time she woke up.

Because of this, many interesting things happened to Yang Ying after drinking, and many dangers also occurred.

In the future, there has been a legend of Yang Ying on the rivers and lakes, saying that the bloody hand is invincible, but he can't help but pour it after three cups.

In Kunning Palace, it is still Xiao Meiniang who is taking care of Yang Ying.

After Yang Ying woke up, he found that he had forgotten to let Li Jing and Qin Qiong continue to recruit and train troops, and he couldn't help but shout that he had drunk and made a mistake.

Looking at Xiao Meiniang's graceful figure, Yang Ying couldn't help but feel a little distracted, but she didn't forget to do business.

Ever since he knew that the envoy sent by Li Yuan was Li Shimin, Yang Ying seemed uneasy, wanting to witness the demeanor of this ancient emperor, but also worried about having such a powerful opponent.

However, now that he has become an opponent, Yang Ying will also try his best to defeat him.

So he recruited Ergou and Xiao Lizi, and Yang Ying decided to play a play for Li Shimin.
