It turned out that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty asked Wei Xuan to come and see Yang Chong, if Wei Xuan felt the light, he would take it to the palace to see it, Yang Chong regretted it when he learned it, people, just can't be impulsive. But the wood has been completed, Yang Chong had to obediently follow Wei Xuan to the palace council hall, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty is a great figure, handsome person, a pair of eyes are even brighter, not at all as described in later novels, if it were not for the Sui Dynasty, Yang Chong thought it was Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

Emperor Yang of Sui was later given the title to Yang Guang by the Tang Dynasty, and when Yang Guang himself was in power, he was called Emperor Ming of Sui. Yang Guang looked at Yang Chong and was also surprised, this young man knew at a glance that he had not gone through a military career, and he didn't even know martial arts, so where did his idea of weapons come from? Yang Guang shouted: "Take it." ”

A guard had already come over and captured Yang Chong in one fell swoop, but Yang Chong couldn't react at all, even if he reacted, he had no ability to resist, and was obediently pressed to the ground. Yang Guang asked, "Yang Chong, where have you seen this kind of long-handled scimitar?" ”

Yang Chong is from modern times, and after a little panic, he woke up that this was Yang Guang deceiving himself, and understood that he must not say where he had seen it, once he said it, Yang Guang continued to ask, and he had to lie one lie after another, and if he didn't get it right, he would be exposed. Yang Chong bowed his head and replied, "Your Majesty, this is the inspiration of the minister. ”

"Inspiration." Yang Guang was an extremely clever person, and instantly understood the meaning of the word, motioned to the guards to let go of their hands, and said: "Then I will give you a chance, if you design another weapon for the army within an hour, I will believe in you, and promote you to an officer, and appoint you as a servant." ”

The secretary is the official of the eighth grade, Yang Chong is equal to being promoted two levels in a row, and several Zaifu in the council hall are silent, watching quietly, if Yang Chong can pass this hurdle, he is definitely qualified to be a minister. Yang Chong stood up after thanking him, and there was really nothing to hold for a while, and looked around, the council hall was not a big hall, a bit like a conference room in later generations, the monarchs and ministers were all sitting around a large table, but Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty dominated one side, and he sat on the circle chair designed by himself.

Yang Chong had an idea, thought of the Song Dynasty's Pu knife, asked for paper and pen, or drew a long knife, but this knife is completely different from the long-handled scimitar, it is a broad-bladed machete, Yang Chong designed the handle to be detachable, there is a screw where the handle is installed, and there is a screw at one end of the rod, and it is three girls. Yang Guang looked at it and said with a smile: "This is a bit like a knife, but this handle is good, and it can also be used on a scimitar, so you have passed." Yang Chong, do you have names for these two knives? ”

Yang Chong immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, there is no name." ”

Yang Chong secretly hated in his heart, this Yang Guang is really the same as what was evaluated on the Internet, if you talk about acting skills, you won't have a problem winning a little gold man at the Oscars; There is a murderous motive hidden in the gentle and drizzly questioning, if this knife has a name, isn't it designed a long time ago, and what kind of inspiration does it say, a proper crime of bullying the king. Yang Guang seemed to be completely unaware, nodded and said: "Then I'll give you a name, the scimitar is called the Xiao Knife, and the wide blade is called the Eagle Knife, what do you think?" ”

It's just the name of a knife, who wouldn't be happy to find it, and the Zaifu nodded in agreement; Yang Guang seemed to forget that Yang Chong was still standing aside, and turned back to discuss state affairs with Zaifu, facing a large map on the table, discussing the situation in the Western Regions. Yang Chong had a feeling of applying for a job, stood aside with a smile, listened carefully, and gradually recognized that it was Yu Shiji, who was short and fat, Pei Ju, who was slender and expressionless, Pei Yun, who was always smiling, and looked at himself as an old man like an enemy, and Yang Guang, who looked a little similar to Yang Guang, was Yang Xiong, the king of Guan, and Yang Da, who was a bit like a eunuch, as well as Yu Wenshu in armor and Yang Yue, who was a bit like a eunuch.

In fact, including Yang Guang, these bigwigs are secretly observing Yang Chong, and seeing that Yang Chong is always calm, they all appreciate it a little; After about an hour, the discussion of the monarch and the ministers gradually reached an impasse, and there were disagreements on whether or not the Western Turks could be taken, Gao Gong suddenly turned around and asked Yang Chong: "You have just returned from the Western Regions, what is the attitude of the countries in the Western Regions towards my Great Sui?" ”

Although this move surprised everyone, they all turned their eyes to Yang Chong, and the corners of Yang Chong's mouth flashed with a wry smile: "My lord, it's not my turn to speak." ”

Wei Xuan said with a smile: "When you refuted General He Ruo, didn't you say that the world was worried first? Gao Xiang just wants you to talk about your opinions, what can't be said, and when you talk to Gao Xiang, you have to be called a lower official. ”

Even Yang Guang laughed, and Yang Chongding said: "Back to the high minister, in the opinion of the lower officials, all the countries in the Western Regions are small countries, with insufficient population, and they need external materials to develop, and they dare not resist the Western Turks and the Great Sui, even if a thousand iron cavalry are in the city, they do not dare to fight." ”

Gao Gong nodded, as a politician, he naturally knew that Yang Chong did not dare to fight because he was afraid that after the war, he would provoke a steady stream of troops; But Gao Gong didn't let Yang Chong go, and continued to ask: "Can the Western Turks dare to fight with the Great Sui?" ”

Yang Chong said without hesitation: "The Western Turks will not fight with the Great Sui. ”

Pei Ju's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Why?" ”

Yang Chong could only let go, took a few steps forward and pointed to the map and said: "Although the Western Turks are established, the Western Regions are different from Saibei, there are more deserts and wastelands than grasslands, and the most suitable place for them to survive is in the hands of Tuyuhun, and the Eastern Turks' troops can reach Gaochang and other places, so what the Western Turks need to do most now is to control the Western Regions, and even expand in the direction of Great Qin and Persia, in order to obtain enough materials and living space." If they run rampant in the Western Regions, once the countries of the Western Regions cannot meet their needs, they will rise up to resist, in this case, how can the Western Turks fight with us. ”

Pei Ju bowed his head and said: "There is some truth in this. In the first year of the Great Cause, it was the Luo Khan who had no way to govern the country, and he first sent troops to attack the Tiele tribes, seized their belongings, and suspected that the Xue Yantuo tribe had changed, killing hundreds of its chieftains, causing the Tiele tribes to resist, and jointly promoted the leader of the Qibi tribe, Qibi Geleng, as Yi Bezhen Mohe Khan, and the leader of the Xue Yantuo tribe, Yi Lost Bowl, as the Yezha Khan. We have always wondered why the Khan did this, it turned out to be the reason for the shortage of supplies. ”

Yu Shiji looked at Yang Chong and asked, "How can this weakness be exploited?" ”

Yang Chong thought for a moment and replied cautiously: "Distant and close attack, take Tuyuhun first." ”

Yang Chong remembered that Yang Guang did this in history, and his answer should be fine; Sure enough, Yang Guang was silent for a moment and ordered: "Shiji, prepare an article and promote Yang Chong to Shilang." Yang Chong, you can go. ”

Yang Chong hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and retreated, and was led by an attendant at the gate of the palace, as soon as he got out of the palace gate, he saw Yu Wenhua waiting in front, Yang Chong had nowhere to avoid, so he had to go up to say hello: "See Lord Yuwen." ”
