After a tired day, Yang Chong slept like a dead pig at night, and he didn't want to get up when the sun reached the top of his head, but someone from the palace passed the word, Jiang Fei immediately broke into Yang Chong's bedroom, called Yang Chong up, and hurriedly freshened up. The eunuch who passed the message accepted Miao Yun's ten taels of silver, and his attitude was extremely polite: "Lord Yang, the saint is invited, the carriage in the palace is already waiting outside." ”

Yang Chong grabbed a cake, followed behind the eunuch, got into the carriage and entered the palace, Jiang Fei asked Wei Chigong, Kou Jiuhui, Huang Zhen, and Bai Litao to set off as usual, followed behind, and then waited outside the palace gate. Yang Chong arrived in the palace, got out of the carriage, and followed the eunuch to a separate hall, where Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui, was chatting with Yang Ciyou, the princess of Nanyang, and Yu Shiji, Zhuge Ying, and Yang Gongdao were accompanying him.

Yang Chong knelt down to Yang Guang, Yang Guang gave Yang Chong a seat, and said, "Yang Chong, why don't you send me an invitation card when you open a restaurant?" ”

Yang Chonggang sat down and almost choked on a mouthful of spit, who opened a restaurant to send an invitation to the emperor, isn't that a handle to the imperial history, Yang Guang, you are too unreasonable, on the surface, Yang Chong replied respectfully: "This is a trivial matter, the saint has a lot of opportunities, how dare you disturb." ”

Yang Guang smiled and said, "You still know that I have a lot of opportunities, so why don't you come to help?" ”

Even Yu Shiji couldn't listen to these words, Yang Chong dismissed the official at home, if he ran to the palace by himself, unless he beat the Dengwen drum, otherwise he would be charged with pre-assassination. Yang Chong's face still did not change, and he lowered his head and said: "The court's ministers are like clouds, the masters are like rain, and the ministers are shallow in their studies, so they don't dare to say more." ”

Yang Guang nodded and said, "Just these few sentences, you have also read books." By the way, I heard that you taught Hu Nu to sing a song, which spread all over Chang'an, and you sang it to me. ”

Yang Chongqing knew that he couldn't shirk it, so he stood up and saluted: "Please forgive Weichen for being presumptuous." ”

Immediately Yang Chong sang Kangding's love song again, the singing was high-pitched and melodious, Yu Shiji and Zhuge Ying couldn't help but play the beat and harmony, Yang Chong finished singing, Yang Guang recalled it and said: "You find those two Hu girls, there are a group of singers in the Ministry of Rites who are ready to participate in the Western Regions Conference, teach them this song, and sing it when the time comes; In addition, Yu Shiji proposed to order Yang Chong to be the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites, responsible for designing the opening ceremony of the Western Regions Conference. ”

Yang Chong hurriedly knelt down to thank him, Yu Shiji agreed, and shook his head in his heart, Yang Chong has served in the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites for more than two years. Zhuge Ying joked: "Yang Chong, you can't just learn this song in the Western Regions. If there is more, sing another song and ask the Son of Heaven to identify it. ”

Yang Guang clapped his hands and said, "Zhuge Aiqing is reasonable. Yang Chong, sing one more song. ”

Yang Chong was helpless and sang "Ao Bao Meeting": "The moon of the fifteenth rose into the sky, why are there no clouds next to it."

I'm waiting for the beautiful girl, why haven't you come yet. If there is no rain in the sky, the begonia flowers will not bloom on their own, as long as my brother and I wait patiently, my sweetheart will run over to yo. ”

This is clearly a love song, Nanyang Princess Yang Ciyou's face was slightly red, Yang Guang and others laughed loudly, Zhuge Ying smiled: "It's a real celebrity who is self-aware, Yang Chong, I didn't expect a person who concentrates on Gewu to have such a legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and I am not alone." ”

Zhuge Ying was favored by Yang Guang, and when he usually went to the palace, he often feasted and drank with Emperor Yang of Sui, and sometimes even sat at the same table with the queen's concubines; Yang Chong, as the heir to the mantle of Zhuge Ying's elder brother, in the past two years, no matter what difficult situation Yang Chong encountered, Zhuge Ying did not say a word of help for Yang Chong. Because of this, Zhuge Ying was trusted by Yang Guang, and Yang Guang saw that Yu Shiji had prepared a holy decree, and immediately ordered: "Give a banquet." ”

Nanyang princess Yang Ciyou and Yu Shiji and Zhuge Ying are all acquaintances, the only stranger is Yang Chong, knowing that the imperial wine that Yang Guang took out was brewed by Yang Chong, Yang Ciyou asked curiously: "What is the name of this wine?" ”

Yang Chongshun said: "Qiong syrup wine." ”

Yang Ciyou glanced at Yang Chong and said, "Return the jade liquid." ”

Yang Guangmi took a sip of wine and said, "Ciyou, Yang Chong is this virtue, and he can't be angry with him." Yang Aiqing, if you were Pei Ju, in this situation, would you persuade Gaochang Wang Lu Boya to come to Chang'an? ”

Now that Yuwenshu has taken the seven cities of Yiwu, Shi Wannian, a tribal leader originally attached to Tuyuhun, led more than 5,000 people to surrender, including 3,000 people who controlled the strings; Yuwen Shu stayed in the stone for ten thousand years and 3,000 elites were in Jumi, and moved the remaining more than 2,000 old and weak women to Yiwu City. After listening to this, Yang Chong pondered for a moment and asserted: "Gaochang King Lu Boya will come to Chang'an, as long as the Western Turks are still in charge of Luo Khan, they will not be carried out for Gaochang and the Great Sui, and Lu Boya has to come, and in addition, Ju Wentai, the son of Lu Boya, is a powerful character, and Lu Boya is not afraid of being detained in Chang'an." ”

There was a lot of discussion in the court, but when Emperor Yang Guang of Sui heard Ju Wentai mentioned for the first time, he suddenly felt that things were a little out of imagination, and continued to ask: "Lu Boya, will other countries in the forty-four countries of the Western Regions come?" ”

Yang Chong said very simply: "The king who is not wary of the Great Sui will come, those who dare not offend the Great Sui will send envoys, those who need the blood supply of the Great Sui will send a merchant group, and the rest will either have no need for the Great Sui or are ready to go to war with us." In fact, the most important thing is the Western Turks, as long as he maintains the status quo, more than half of the country will come back. ”

Yu Shiji asked, "Are you worried about shooting the Khan?" ”

Yang Chong replied: "Tong Ye Hu has already returned, and now he only needs a promise from the Central Plains to do it." ”

"The saint didn't speak, and no one would give him a promise." Yu Shiji suddenly came to his senses and said, "You mean to falsely pass on the holy decree. ”

Nanyang Princess Yang Ciyou was surprised: "Who else dares to fake the holy decree? ”

Yang Chong said in a deep voice: "Of course there is, such as Tong Ye Hu, he is talented and ambitious; The Eastern Turks, Tuyuhun, and even the Gaochang Kingdom may implement this strategy and let the Western Turks fight first. ”

Yang Guang and the others understood that Yang Chong was still very restrained, and did not say Pei Ju and Sui Hantang, in fact, the most likely to do this kind of thing was Pei Ju and Sui Hantang. Yu Shiji sighed and said: "It's a pity that the court and China are arguing now, and they want to make the list of Sui Han Tang public, but Pei Gong and Changsun Sheng disagree, it is said that Sui Han Tang is already panicking." ”

Changsun Sheng's resignation was not approved, so he pretended to be sick and did not take the council, Yang Chong said disapprerovitically: "Sui Hantang is an external work organization, and the undercover agents lurking in foreign races or foreign lands naturally need to be protected, and they can not be made public, or even remain in the hands of Pei Gong, but the personnel hidden in the territory of the Great Sui should be made public, which is the bottom line that cannot be crossed." Pei Gong cherishes his subordinates, and Changsun Sheng values talents, so he can let them transfer everyone to the Western Regions or Saibei within a certain period of time. ”

Yang Guangda said with a smile: "I am not alone, I didn't expect Yang Aiqing to think the same as me." Come on, play music. ”

Until the monarch and the ministers were about to disperse, Zhuge Ying suddenly asked: "Yang Chong, I heard that you and Princess Nanyang jointly opened a jade mirror workshop, what are you going to do later?" ”

Yang Chong immediately understood that this was asking himself if he wanted to become bigger, and hurriedly said: "I have considered this, and I have discussed it with Yang Gongren, and in the future, I will buy a shop in each of the ten cities as a branch of Yujingfang." The Jade Mirror Workshop is located in the original house of the Lianghe Persian Mansion, the front shop and the back shop, Yang Gongdao should talk about the contract in Wannian County today. ”

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty nodded, Yang Chong did this authentically, after the mirror had been produced, he asked Yang Gongren to discuss buying a shop, and after the shop was settled, he found someone else to partner; Like Princess Nanyang, as long as she makes a symbolic amount of money, she sits at home and makes a profit. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty called Zhang Yuan, the eunuch in charge, and instructed: "Send someone to Princess Nanyang's workshop and order 3,000 bronze mirrors, at cost price, two through one side." ”

Yang Chong and Nanyang princess Yang Ciyou both opened their mouths and didn't say anything, who said that Emperor Yang of Sui was extravagant and wasteful, Yang Ciyou said the cost, and from then on, the palace was to buy mirrors at cost price; Yu Shiji smiled silently, Yang Chong definitely has the potential to be a minister, and this matter is right for Yang Guang's appetite. Yang Guang's most taboo is that people talk about the relationship between their brothers behind their backs, Yang Chong and Yang Gongren through the Jade Mirror Workshop, after Yang Ciyou, the princess of Nanyang, and Yang Jinghui, the princess of Fengningyi, were brought together, no matter what the others thought in their hearts, they could only praise the family affection between the two families on the surface.
