Princess Ling is beautiful, and she is favored by the emperor and queen, when the news of Lanling Ma came out, almost all the important ministers in the family who have children of the right age have paid attention, although Yang Shu's father Liu Ji is also an important minister in the court, but compared with others, he has no advantage.

Among them, the most likely to become a concubine is the Jin King's brother-in-law Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu is far superior to others in terms of identity, status, and talent, but when it was almost decided, the East Palace intervened sideways, so that the position of the concubine fell to Liu Shu, and later Dugu Huang had to marry his niece to Xiao Yu as compensation.

It can be said that Liu Shu's position as a horse is all given by the East Palace, so the relationship between Liu Shu and the East Palace is very close, at this time, seeing that the emperor seems to have a pre-truth to the East Palace, he hollowed out his heart and thought for the East Palace to remedy a few words: "Emperor, General Shi Da is the crown prince, and now he has made great contributions to the country. ”

Yang Jian turned his head to look at Liu Shu, with a smile on his face: "I didn't say that Shi Aiqing couldn't go to the East Palace, so why should Liu Qing worry about the prince." ”

"Yes, the emperor is wise." Liu Shu sighed in his heart, knowing that the more he said now, the more wrong it was, so he just kept his mouth shut.

It's just that Liu Shu didn't say anything, but Yang Jian started talking and asked, "I heard that there are three dragons, four tigers and one dog under the prince's door, do you know?" ”

The so-called three heroes, four tigers and one dog are passed down from the descendants of the East Palace, and they are the eight people who are most relied on by the prince, and the three heroes refer to Zhang Qiu Taiyi, Li Gang, and Lu Mulin; They served as civil officials at the prince's side. made suggestions, and the four tigers were Shi Wansui, Luo Yi, Da Xihong, and Qu Tutong; These four people are now defending one side and winning all battles, while a dog refers to Yun Dingxing, who holds the position of dean of the College of Agriculture. He is in charge of a huge amount of wealth in his hands, and he is the father-in-law of the prince, which can be described as a loyal dog.

This statement can be said to be known to everyone in the capital, so it had to be said suddenly from the emperor's mouth, but Liu Shu's scalp was a little numb when he heard it, and he didn't know what the emperor meant, but he said vaguely: "The emperor forgives the sin, Weichen has not heard it." ”

Yang Jian smiled slightly: "If you haven't heard of it, forget it." What is there to forgive sins? ”

An attendant walked up: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and General Shi are here." ”

"Let them in."

"Yes!" As soon as the chamberlain went, Yang Yong and Shi Wansui had already entered the hall and knelt down at the same time.

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"Weichen see the emperor!"

Seeing the two of them, Yang Jian smiled: "Get up"

"Thank you, Father!"

"Emperor Xie!"

"Prince. Shi Aiqing swept the 36 Qiang people this time, captured tens of thousands of Qiang people, and captured their leader alive, the credit is not small, I was about to summon him, but I didn't expect the prince to come together.

”

"Father, Emperor. The son is guilty, and he asks his father for forgiveness. Yang Yong knelt down again.

Yang Jian's face was surprised: "Prince, what are your crimes?" ”

"Father, the son didn't just come with Shi Aiqing, but he summoned Shi Aiqing first, delayed his father's summons, and asked his father to punish him."

"I see, it's still a trivial matter, get up." Yang Jian said with a smile. just changed his tone and asked suspiciously: "However, the prince is anxious to see Shi Aiqing, but there is something important?" ”

"Thank you, Father." Yang Yong got up at this time: "That's the case, Erchen heard that although the Qiang people are extremely barbaric, they are brave and good at fighting, and they are worried, this time Shi Aiqing broke the 36 Nanqiang in one fell swoop, although it is gratifying, but if it is not handled properly." Instead of being a blessing to the court, it is a disaster. So I was anxious to understand, so I asked Shi Aiqing first. ”

"The prince should also care about state affairs, but I don't understand a little, why is Shi Aiqing's big victory a disaster for the court?"

"Father, the son did not say that Shi Aiqing's victory was a disaster, but it would become a disaster if it was not handled properly, the Qiang people were divided into Nanqiang and Xiqiang, each with thirty-six departments, the two Qiang fought with each other, and they all wanted to annex each other, it was Nanqiang who had the advantage before, but this time Nanqiang was broken by the court, and the vitality was greatly damaged.

Yang Jian nodded: "Yes, that's true, what did the prince say to deal with?" ”

"Although Nanning has been under the rule of the court, but the Qiang people live in the poor mountains and bad waters, the court is beyond the power of the court, Erchen thinks that the two Qiang must not be unified, must be divided and ruled, now Nanqiang has been broken by the court, its leader Hu has broken his courage, must not dare to be the enemy of the court again, Erchen thinks, although Hui does not know the righteousness, set off a rebellion, the crime is unforgivable, just for the split between Nanqiang and Xiqiang will not be unified, the frontier is stable, but the court can not be killed

It is necessary to treat the filial piety of the Xiao, and the return is to return. ”

Yang Jian didn't speak immediately, but pondered, Liu Shu saw the prince's eyes, and hurriedly said beside him: "The minister thinks that the prince's words are reasonable. ”

"That's it, even if this is cheaper, I will immediately issue an order to let the people of the Criminal Department release it."

With a plop, Shi Wansui knelt down again: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" ”

Yang Jian suddenly cried and laughed, what day is today, how can a prince and an important minister rush to say that they are guilty, so they have to ask, "What is your crime?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister has not seen Long Yan for several years, he was anxious, and after receiving the emperor's holy decree, he hurried day and night, and now he did not enter Beijing with Weichen, and now I am afraid that he is still on the way."

—

"I know, I don't have to let Aiqing personally bring people into Beijing, what kind of crime is this, Aiqing has made a great contribution, if you are punished for this little thing, wouldn't I become a faint king, since this person did not enter Beijing, then there is no need to enter Beijing, just let him return. Get up. ”

Shi Wansui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Thank you, Emperor." ”

"Aiqing worked tirelessly and personally led the team around behind the Qiang people, so that he could quickly fight against the Qiang people, which saved the dignity of the court and reduced the expenses of the court, and made such a great achievement, I don't know what reward Aiqing needs?" Yang Jian asked with a smile on his face.

Shi Wansui took out a piece of music from his sleeve, held it high, and said: The unmeritorious work is not enough to worry about, and I don't dare to ask for any reward, but the sergeant went to fight thousands of miles with the micro-minister, and many people also gave their lives, and the minister hoped that the emperor could reward the sergeant more, and the dead were also generously compensated. ”

Yang Jian took it from Shi Wansui's hand, only looked at it, immediately closed it, and handed it to Liu Shu: "This is the matter of your military department, tell you Shangshu, these are all approved." ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys." Liu Shu hurriedly took it, just took a slight look, and couldn't help but secretly speak, there are at least 100 officials on this list, you must know that only officers with grades or above will be handed over to the Ministry of War, and others Shi Wansui can be directly promoted, and he will be promoted to officers above 100 grades at a time, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so generous this time.

"Also, tell the household department that the pension standard for the sergeants who died in this battle will be doubled, and the rewards for each sergeant will also be doubled, as for Shi Aiqing, one hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, and five hundred horses of satin, and he will be promoted to the Pillar Country and given to the Duke of Taiping County."

"Thank you, Your Majesty.

Shi Wansui hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

As soon as Lu Kai came out, the officials just now surrounded him and asked nonsense: "My lord, how is it, has there been any impeachment of Shi Banzai?" ”

Lu Kai shook his head: "No, the emperor opened his mouth to let the palace pay the decree, now Shi Wansui is still the last to enter the palace, and I don't know where this General Shi went, so why don't the officials wait, then add a crime of contempt for the emperor's order, this palace will see how arrogant he Shi Wanzai is." By the way, Shi Wansui didn't bring the Qiang leader into Beijing, are you sure? ”

He asked Murong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Murong was the official who pulled Lu Kai's sleeve at the city gate, he and Murong Xun, who died in the hands of Yang Yong, were cousins, and he had always looked down on the officials of the East Palace.

"Lord Lu has forgotten my Murong family's ghost army, whether there are Qiang people in Shi Wansui's team, the lower officials can see it at a glance." Murong Kan said proudly.

The so-called ghost army is a private army of the Murong family, at most tens of thousands of people, most of them are composed of foreign races, there are most of the Qiang people in it, this ghost army is extremely cruel, and when it starts, it burns and loots everywhere it goes, and the local area is almost not a single inch of grass and becomes a place of death, outsiders call it the ghost army, which is to describe that after this army, the people have become unjust ghosts.

Because of this, the combat effectiveness of the private army of the Murong Army is also very strong, and it used to be as famous as the Xuanlong Army of the Prince Land, but after the establishment of the Great Sui, the emperor vigorously reduced the private army and concentrated the world's military power in the hands of the twelve Wei generals, and the private families in the hands of each family were collected by the central government, and the ghost family was also disbanded.

It's just that the Great Sui is composed of high-ranking lords, there are many strong entrenchments in various places, there is no private army in the capital, it does not mean that there is no local army, and the dissolution is only superficial, and the private families still have a large number of private armies, and the court also knows that it is impossible to ban the private army, so they can only turn a blind eye, of course, these private armies can only operate in private. Once exposed, the court will definitely crack down.

Hearing Murong Kan say so surely, Lu Kai nodded and smiled: "Okay, this is Shi Wansui looking for death by himself, no wonder us." ”
