On the North Court Course.

The two teams galloped like lightning, fought bravely, and fought fiercely, and the polo staff was used as a mace, even if they were wearing thick armor and iron helmets and masks, people were still knocked off their horses from time to time, and even bleeding profusely.

But no one called a halt.

Polo is a game for the brave.

If you are slightly injured and fall off the horse, then quickly get up and continue.

There will be no referee shouting to stop and judge a foul or something, in a polo game, there are very few rules, as long as it is within the boundary, you can fight for it however you want. There are also serious injuries that are difficult to continue, so change people and fight again.

After less than a quarter of an hour, the two teams on the field were already playing real fire.

I only saw all kinds of show-offs, all kinds of swings, and it didn't look like I was playing polo in the back, and no one cared about passing and hitting the ball, and the stick was always running towards the opponent.

The emperor smiled brightly.

In fact, Yang Guang also likes to play polo, most of the nobles of the Great Sui are able to gallop and shoot immediately, and they naturally like the competitive sports of a kind of horse, and polo is also known as the first aristocratic sport of the Great Sui.

The Emperor played equally fiercely, and sometimes he would fall off his horse and get injured, but it was still the same.

Shi Bi laughed with him, but secretly marveled in his heart.

I thought that their Turks, as a horse people, learned to ride and shoot when they were young, and this polo was definitely better than that of the Sui people. After all, when they were children, they began to ride sheep and shoot rabbits at the age of three, and at the age of six or seven they rode ponies to shoot foxes, and by the time they were teenagers, they were already good hunters, and when they were twelve years old, they could participate in war and become a glorious warrior.

It can be said that every adult Turkic man in the steppe has superb riding skills, as well as excellent archery skills.

Turkic cavalry shooting, can be called unparalleled.

But now, looking at the bravery of these Sui Dynasty Xiaoguo, and looking at their skillful riding skills on their horses, Shi Bi felt that he still underestimated the Sui people.

Just as after he saw the defeat of the Sui army's first million-dollar expedition under the city of Liaodong, he expected that the Sui army would definitely not be able to destroy Goguryeo, and would definitely lose more soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and might even collapse because of Liaodong.

But now, although the two Eastern Crusades failed, in the Third Eastern Crusade, Luo Cheng alone led the Liaodong Frontier Army to surrender Goguryeo.

The Xiaoguo forbidden army formed by the emperor has been in the army for less than three years, and it is already so brave.

The polo game was exciting.

But Shibi Khan, who has always liked polo games, is a little absent-minded today.

At the end of the game, it was not surprising that Sui Xiaoguo won, and his team of knights, in the end, only three people were still standing on the field, and the rest couldn't get up.

Losing a lot.

Shi Bi praised the bravery of the Great Sui Xiaoguo and praised the greatness of the emperor, which provoked Yang Guang to laugh and be very happy.

Rejoicing, he rewarded each of the horsemen with ten thousand dollars, and gave each of the Turkic knights a fine piece of silk.

The emperor also rewarded Luo Siye, the general of the Xiaoguo Left First Army, with a set of good imperial armor.

At the end of the game, the emperor and others began to enjoy drinks and snacks.

Several uncles and nephews of the Luo family were summoned.

The emperor first praised Heiye for bringing Zuo Yijun well, and then asked with a smile, "Ji'er has been fine recently, the queen took her into the palace a few days ago, she said that she had morning sickness, she vomited almost anything she ate, and she couldn't sleep at night." In this winter, I just wanted to eat lychees from Lingnan and fresh abalone from the East China Sea, so I had no choice but to order the local officials of Lingnan and Jianghuai to pay tribute. "Speaking of this daughter, the emperor is really fond of her.

Si Ye said respectfully, "The Lingnan lychee and the East China Sea abalone princess given by His Majesty have already received it, and I like it very much after tasting it, and I won't vomit after eating these, and I can finally sleep peacefully in the past two nights." ”

"That's good, since I like to eat, I will order the local government to pay more tribute."

In this season, in fact, there are no fresh lychees in Lingnan, but it is not easy to refrigerate and keep the summer lychees fresh.

It can be said that a lychee sent to Beijing from the Lingnan Express Horse is more expensive than a copper coin of the same body.

"Heiye, I've always loved Ji'er, and I also know that she is sometimes a little rude, and now that she is pregnant, she must have a more dry personality, so you have to take care of it more."

"Heiye understands that he will take good care of the princess."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Luo Cheng, "You only came to Beijing a few years ago, and I didn't have time to summon you alone in the past two days, Yu Wenhua and sent someone to assassinate you, this is his fault, but Luo Yi also blinded Yu Wenshu's eyes in front of me, and both sides were supposed to be guilty, but I couldn't bear it." ”

"Luo Cheng is ruled by His Majesty, no matter how he disposes of it, he is willing to accept it, and he doesn't dare to have any dissatisfaction." Luo Chengdao.

"Don't dare, but won't?" The Emperor smiled.

Luo Cheng bowed his head and was silent.

"Okay, I know you're angry, but I can't kill Yu Wenhua? In fact, I wanted to kill this frivolous prodigal son a long time ago, but after all, it was not easy for Yuwenshu to accompany me all the way, and there was a lot of hard work, and now that I am old, if I kill his eldest son, it will also make him sad, and he is a little unbearable. ”

The Luo family was silent.

The Emperor sighed.

"Of course, I am not the kind of foolish emperor, so I plan to demote Yuwenshu out of Beijing, as for Yu Wenhua, I will directly throw him to Dunhuang to fight the border, can you be satisfied with this result?"

Luo Cheng spoke up at this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the fangs in Xining, Nanning, are making a lot of trouble, and the minister thinks that General Yuwen has commanded the army for many years, has rich experience, and is a person that His Majesty trusts very much, so he can send General Yuwen to Nanning to sit in the town, comfort the Nanban slang fangs, quell the rebellion, and stabilize the frontier."

Hearing Luo Cheng's words, the emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Nanning or Xining, which are extremely remote and remote places, are not so much the territory of the Great Sui as the uncivilized land. It's worse than Liaodong, except for a few yamen of the imperial court, there are all barbarians, and they are all mountains, and the roads are inconvenient.

The emperor originally wanted Yuwenshu to go to the Jianghuai area, or the Jingxiang area, but who expected Luo Cheng to be so ruthless, he directly asked Yuwenshu to go to Nanning or Xining.

However, the emperor looked at Luo Cheng's expression, and finally said with a smile, "Okay, then let Yuwenshu go to Nanning, and I will appoint him as the ambassador of Nanning and the Taishou of Nanning." ”

For this result, Luo Cheng expressed his gratitude very satisfied.

Yuwen Shuzhen went to Nanning, and he will definitely not be able to come back for a while.

In that year, the Sui Dynasty replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Nanning Prefecture Governor's Office in the fourth year of the emperor's reign, appointed Wei Chong as the governor of Nanning Prefecture, and set up Gongzhou (now Chongqing), Xiezhou (now Zhaotong) and Kunming (now Kunming) in Yunnan.

This western planing department, the Central Plains is also called Baiman, and its counterpart is the eastern planing department at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, also known as Wuman. In fact, these people are also collectively called Nanban, and the Central Plains calls the relatively civilized ones the white barbarians, and the more barbaric ones the black barbarians. These people were also the ancestors of the Yungui ethnic minorities such as the Yi nationality later.

At this time, they were extremely backward and barbaric, and the imperial court was caressing and beating over there, but it was still uncontrollable, in fact, at this time, the imperial court had almost actually given up the Yunnan region, and after the three years of the great cause of abandoning the Nanning Governor's Office, it was actually regarded as a laissez-faire, and there was not even a county.

Luo Cheng kicked Yuwenshu there, it was definitely equivalent to exile, even worse than exile, if you don't get it right, your life will not be guaranteed.
