stood up coolly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Sha Bo Luo still has no plan to delay the army, and the emperor can announce that Sha Bo Luo envoy will go to the palace, and he will refuse directly." ”

"Hmm." A strange look appeared on Yang Jian's face, he was more than twenty years older than Yang Shuang, in fact, he regarded this fifth brother as a nephew and trusted him very much, but he didn't nod at this time: "King Wei, please take a seat, do you have any other ideas?" Speak your mind today. ”

Yang Shuang was stunned for a moment, knowing that the emperor might not be satisfied with this plan, and wanted to say more, Yang Jian had already shook his hand, and Yang Shuang had to sit down.

"Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that what King Wei said is reasonable, Sha Bo slightly invaded my Central Plains repeatedly, and now just say a soft word and think that the Great Sui is not to blame him in the past, so there is such a cheap thing, it is better to make the army attack again, and work with the Western Turks and Khitan to completely wipe out Sha Boluo." Half of the above words are Yang Yong's sincerity, and half are just attached to Yang Shuang.

Dou Rongding snorted coldly: "The prince's words are wrong, at present, the Eastern and Western Turks are divided, if you send troops to exterminate Sha Bolu, it will only be cheap to reach the head and Abo, the prince is young in the end, I don't know the depth of the matter, the minister thinks that when he agrees to Sha Boluo's request, he must make the Eastern and Western Turks continue to split, so that it is in the interests of my Great Sui." ”

All the ministers were a little stunned, but they didn't expect that the Duke of Anfeng, who had just worshiped General Wuwei, dared to be so unkind to the prince in the palace, Yang Yong looked at Dou Rongding's triumphant expression, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, although Dou Rongding was reasonable, but was it necessary to offend himself so much in his words?

Yang Shuang immediately retorted: "An Fenggong, don't forget, Datou and Abo are both allies of the Great Sui, and Sha Boluo is the enemy of the Great Sui. If the court accepts Sha Bolu's request, Datou and Apo will definitely not give up, Datou and Apo attack Sha Bolu, whether Da Sui will help or not. If you want to help, for the sake of an enemy to offend an ally, you must not do it, if you don't help. The court has accepted Sha Bo's request to be a vassal, isn't it in vain to lose the court's credibility. ”

Yang Shuang's words made everyone ponder, and even Yang Jian began to waver, when he first saw Sha Bo Liu's national letter, Yang Jian didn't think about it completely under his excitement, he just thought that the border of the Great Sui Dynasty who accepted Sha Bo Luo would settle down, and he could free up his hands to solve Nan Chen, and now it seems. If you accept the sand bowl strategy, I am afraid that the border of the Great Sui will not be stable.

"Gao Aiqing, what do you think?"

Gao Ying heard the emperor's name, and hurriedly stood up: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that what the prince and King Wei said is reasonable, and the sand bowl is slightly ambitious, and he is only temporarily desperate before bowing his head to the Great Sui, if he fights the snake, he will not die." Beware of its backlash. ”

The disappointment on Yang Jian's face flashed: "In this way, Gao Aiqing also means that he does not accept Sha Bo's slight request for peace. ”

"No, back to the emperor, Sha Boluo asked the Great Sui for peace, which is a good thing anyway. Don't say no. But. Sha Boluo must show sincerity to prove that he will not fight against the Great Sui in the future. ”

"Surprise. Lord Gao, how can Sha Bo prove that he will not oppose the Great Sui in the future? Could it be that he sent a proton, the Turkic eagle and wolf nature will not take care of the heir at all. Dou Rongding said almost in a mocking tone, as soon as he finished speaking, Yuanyan of the Ministry of War, and Yu Qing, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, all showed a smile, obviously willing to see Gao Ying embarrassed.

Although Gao Ying made a lot of contributions in the establishment of the Great Sui, it was all a matter of planning, and the real military merit was only once when he exterminated Wei Chi Yuan, however, that time he was just a supervisor, and the prince was still a deputy supervisor at the time, and he had no military merits but was based on the position of the left servant, I don't know how many people slandered Gao Ying's position, Yuan Yan, and Yu Qing both thought that their merits were far greater than Gao Ying's, and they were more suitable for the position of servant shooting.

Gao Ying smiled casually: "It's useless for the Turks to send quality, how can this official not know, in fact, it is very simple to prove the sincerity of Sha Boluo, the princess of Qianjin is the remnant of the previous dynasty, her father and brother have died unexpectedly, how can there be no hatred for this dynasty, now the princess of Qianjin is Sha Bo Luo's Ke He Dun, I heard that it is very favored by Sha Bo Luo, there is a hatred of this dynasty Ke He Dun whispers every day by the pillow of Sha Bo Luo, how can it reflect the sincerity of Sha Bo Luo, if Sha Bo Luo really seeks peace with this dynasty, he should give the daughter of the princess to die. ”

Several people opened their mouths slightly, obviously surprised by Gao Ying's proposal, the Great Sui usurped Zhou Zili, many ministers are former ministers of the Zhou family, and there is no hatred for the former royal family, many people are secretly sympathetic, I heard that they want to force Sha Bo to kill the princess of Qianjin, some people are very unbearable, but Yang Jian has usurped the throne for three years, and the ministers know the emperor's suspicious nature, and no one dares to say more about the princess.

Yang Jian was very moved when he heard this, he didn't pay much attention to her by marrying the Turks under the princess of Qianjin, but the Turks invaded the Great Sui for two consecutive years, if you want to say that there is no princess of Qianjin in the middle, Yang Jian doesn't believe it, and now he can get rid of the princess with the help of Sha Boluo, of course Yang Jian is happy: "Gao Aiqing's words are reasonable, what other opinions do you have?" ”

The emperor has set the tone, and everyone has to weigh it even if they have opinions, and they were silent for a while, Yang Yong vaguely felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly asked: "Father, if Sha Bolu is willing to give death to the princess, will the Great Sui agree to Sha Bolu's request for peace." ”

"Of course." Yang Jian said a little strangely.

"Father, the child thinks it's inappropriate, as King Wei just said, Da Tou and Ah Po are already allies of the Great Sui, both of them have grievances with Sha Bo Luo, and Apo is even more with Sha Bo slightly have a grudge against his mother, if the Great Sui accepts Sha Bo Liu, it will inevitably lead to Da Tou and Apo dissatisfaction, the Great Sui loses an ally, the Turkic eagle and wolf nature, even if Sha Bo Luo agrees to give the death of the princess, it is just a forced helpless move, which does not mean that he has any loyalty to the Great Sui, but only arouses hatred for the Great Sui. Erchen thought that he should not take the sand bowl lightly.

As for the problem of Turkic split, Lord Dou seems to be reasonable, but in fact it does not work, if the Great Sui slightly exterminates the sand bowl, it is completely possible to support Luo Hou to re-establish the Eastern Turks, and even let Apo become independent from Datou, so that the Turks are divided into three parts, so that it is better than leaving a sand bowl that is in a heavy debt to the Great Sui and threatens more. ”

Yang Yong has no good impression of Sha Boluo, Sha Boluo invaded the border of the Great Sui several times, each time causing hundreds of thousands of people to be displaced, and even the 100 students he carefully cultivated had eleven people who died in Sha Boluo's invasion the year before last.

was so unceremoniously attacked by Yang Yong, Dou Rongding looked at Yang Yong in disbelief. As if he knew Yang Yong again, he was unwilling, but he didn't know how to refute it, and his face was pale

Red.

Yu Qing stood up: "What the prince said is too simple. Sha Bo has experienced a hundred battles and is well versed in strategy, how can it be said that it can be exterminated. ”

"It is precisely because of Sha Bo that he has experienced a hundred battles and is well versed in strategy. can't let him recuperate, otherwise Da Sui will miss the opportunity and regret it too late. Yang Yong immediately refuted.

"Alright, alright." Yang Jian was so noisy that he had a headache, waved his hand, and looked at the others: "Yang Aiqing, what is your opinion?" Yang Jian looked at Yang Su with a wide gaze.

Yang Yong's expression froze, Yang Su's status in the emperor's heart was probably on par with Gao Ying. There was a slight trace of remorse in his heart, he shouldn't have offended Yang Sucai when he was the Tokyo Tomb Zai, but he put this thought aside in a blink of an eye, since he was offended, don't regret it, he is the prince, there is no need to be afraid of a courtier, thinking of the corruption evidence that Lu Mulin presented to him Yang Yuedi. Yang Yong was even more relieved, and sneered in his heart: "Yang Su, if you want to blame, you can only blame your brother for being too greedy." ”

"Back to the emperor, Sha Boluo should be damned. It's just not the right time. Now Datou and Apo's strength is stronger than Sha Bolu. The crown prince once defeated tens of thousands of troops with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and if he died in a sand bowl. Chu Luohou can't deal with Datou at all. The implication of the words naturally denied Luo Hou's proposal to support him, but he also secretly praised Yang Yong, which can be regarded as a no-offense.

The rest of the ministers also gossiped, some agreed to accept the Sha Bo strategy and the land, and some agreed to take advantage of the decline of the Sha Bo Luo power to exterminate the Sha Bo Luo, and suddenly the hall was full of quarrels, and it was not settled until it was almost dark.

Yang Yong's proposal actually made Yang Jian quite tempted, compared to the Marquis of Luo, the sand bowl is undoubtedly more uncertain, but the sand bowl is slightly difficult, at this time the Great Sui also needs to lick the wounds, unable to quickly send troops, Yang Jian is actually inclined to accept the sand bowl strategy, let the Eastern and Western Turks fight endlessly, and the Great Sui can sit and reap the benefits.

"Ahem, ahem." Hearing the emperor's cough, everyone stopped arguing, and Gao Ying took a step forward: "Weichen and the others are arguing, and I also ask the emperor's sacred heart to make a decision." ”

All the ministers also reacted: "Please also ask the emperor's sacred heart to make a decision." ”

"I think what you Aiqing said is reasonable, tomorrow the palace will meet with the envoy of Sha Bolu, you can first ask Sha Bolu to give the princess a thousand deaths, and then send the envoy to Mobei to give him grace, and check its truth and truth, and then decide whether to fight or peace."

"The emperor is wise." This decision is equivalent to taking care of the differences between the two sides, and let Sha Boluo give the princess to death first to show his sincerity, and the Great Sui will not suffer no matter what, and everyone is secretly The emperor is really shrewd.

"That's the end of today's discussion, everyone Aiqing should step aside."

"Wait for the resignation!"

All the ministers walked out of the hall one after another, Yang Yong and Yang Shuang walked out side by side, and invited Yang Shuang as they walked: "It is rare for the fifth uncle to be in Beijing, tomorrow the nephew will hold a banquet in the East Palace, and invite the fifth uncle to appreciate the light." ”

"Well, I'll bother tomorrow." Yang Shuang was also polite. 、

Yang Yong was very happy in his heart, although Yang Shuang was not as powerful as the backer king in the romance of later generations, but he was not inferior to him, he started from a small colonel in the army when he was more than ten years old, and then led tens of thousands of troops, although he was not undefeated, he experienced several defeats before Yang Shuang was fifteen years old, he was not the main general at that time, and he could remain defeated after defeat, and the loss was slight, and he had never failed since Yang Shuang led the army independently.

A hundred victories and a hundred battles are not necessarily a good thing, such a person may fail once and it will be difficult to turn over, there are victories and defeats, and after defeat, he can not forgive is the best general, if Yang Shuang supports himself, he can naturally let him lead the army more in the future, and deprive Yang Guang of the opportunity to make military achievements, especially to destroy Chen in the south, he would rather let Yang Shuang lead the army, and must not let Yang Guang command the army to destroy Chen.

In history, Sui destroyed Chen in the eighth year of Kaihuang, when Yang Shuang had died of illness in the seventh year of Kaihuang, and he was only twenty-five years old when he died, otherwise the opportunity to lead the army to destroy Sui was likely to fall on Yang Shuang's head, Yang Shuang was more suitable than Yang Guang to be a commander in terms of age and identity.

Yang Yong didn't know that Yang Shuang would die so early, unless the Sui Dynasty advanced the time to destroy Chen by two years, it was probably impossible for him to use Yang Shuang, but judging from the current situation, it was not impossible for the emperor to go south to destroy Chen in the sixth year of the emperor.

After breaking up with Yang Shuang, Yang Yong was about to return to the East Palace, when the chamberlain Lu Zhongbao hurriedly walked out: "The prince stays, the emperor is invited." ”

Lu Zhongbao is only in his thirties, although his grade is only sixth, he is the chief eunuch on duty in the emperor's imperial study, and even the chamberlain of the fourth rank must look at him squarely.

It was almost dark, and the palace doors would be closed in half an hour, Yang Yong couldn't help but be stunned, but he still had to follow the inner servant and return to the palace, passing through several halls, the inner servant did not stop, but took Yang Yong directly to the direction of the Taiji Palace, after the Taiji Palace is where the harem is located, although the Dugu clan is very tight with Yang Jian, but there are many beautiful palace maids in the palace, even if it is the prince, it is inconvenient to go to the harem after nightfall.

Yang Yong stopped at the gate of Taiji Palace: "Gonggong Lu, is there a mistake, does my father want to summon the widow in the harem?" ”

"Yo, prince, even if the slave has ten guts, he doesn't dare to lead the wrong way." Lu Zhongbao screamed in his mouth.

Of course, Yang Yong would not suspect that Lu Zhongbao dared to falsely pass on the holy decree, so he had to continue to follow Lu Zhongbao, at this time the Taiji Palace had begun to light the palace lamps, all of which were directly used with lamp oil, at this time the candles were made of the best animal fat, extremely valuable, even the palace could not afford to use it, only Yang Jiandi's study or dormitory would use candles, the oil lamp not only had smoke, but also the brightness was not enough, Yang Yong could only barely see the road dozens of steps away, and from time to time there were little eunuchs and palace maids on the road who saw Lu Zhongbao approaching, and hurriedly asked for peace.

After passing through the Taiji Palace, crossing a gate and arriving at Neiwan, Yang Yong stopped again at the gate, looking at the three big characters hidden on the gate.

Xuanwu Gate has arrived!
