Chapter 533: Settu Gongma
"Not bad. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info I returned to the court this time, found some clues, and couldn't bear to stop there, so I ordered Zhang Xutuo to stay in Chang'an and continue to check the customs. Since Yang Guang had the idea of subduing Zhang Heng as his confidant, he no longer hid it from him, and replied truthfully.
Zhang Heng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and persuaded Yang Guangdao earnestly: "Although the investigation of Nan Chen's fine work is also an important task of the imperial court, it is not an envoy in the prince's position. At this very juncture, the lower officials still had to persuade the prince to concentrate on the military and government affairs of Hebei Daoxingtai, and not to pay too much attention to the affairs in Chang'an City. ”
Yang Guang understood that Zhang Heng wanted to protect himself first, and then consider continuing to investigate Guan Zizi's affairs, although he felt a little disappreciative in his heart, and he didn't want to continue to argue with Zhang Heng verbally, so he nodded and said to him: "I already know your intentions." From now on, how do you want this king to act, although to put it bluntly, you must never see this king like this again, remember? ”
After this heart-to-heart conversation with Zhang Heng, it further stimulated Yang Guang's determination to find out Guan Zizi as soon as possible. If Zhang Heng's judgment and analysis are mostly in line with the facts, then this Guan Zizi, who has not revealed the true face of Lushan so far, is too terrible!
He (she) only used Gao De alone, and wrote a letter of advice to persuade his father and emperor to pass on the throne to his eldest brother, which caused an uproar in the imperial capital Chang'an, which not only made their father and son suspicious, but also invisibly because the eldest brother and himself were sent out of Beijing one after another, it also greatly reduced the threat to Guan Zizi and the "Wild Goose's Nest" itself, and at the same time may cause turmoil in the court.
The stronger the opponent, the more Yang Guang's heart is full of high fighting spirit to defeat the opponent.
I have no choice but to be in Bingzhou, which is thousands of miles away from Chang'an City, and if I want to reveal the true face of Guan Zizi only through Zhang Xutuo alone, my hope is a little too slim.
Faced with the reality that he could not overcome in the short term, after Yang Guang's mind completely calmed down, he decided to accept Zhang Heng's persuasion for the time being, first settle down, concentrate on his Hebei Daoxing Taishang Order, and then wait for Zhang Xutuo to bring him new discoveries.
What makes Yang Guang feel more or less complacent is that the prestige he has accumulated in the Hebei area after going out of the town and merging the state in the past five years has made the Hebei Shijiahao who dared to blatantly come to the door to provoke in the past has a sense of awe in his heart. None of them have dared to speak out against themselves. Through this incident, Yang Guang also made Yang Guang soberly realize that these so-called high-ranking surnames who have been able to open the door after decades, or even hundreds of years, are not as powerful as the previous legends, as long as they can think of an effective way to travel, they can still be tamed.
Fei Zhi Hebei Shijiahao bowed his head to Yang Guang and surrendered, and half a month later, the Eastern Turk Shabalu Khan unexpectedly sent Yang Guang another big gift.
The Turkic prince Yongyu Lu claimed to have come to Bingzhou to pay tribute of 3,000 war horses to the court of the Great Sui Dynasty on the orders of his father.
This is an unprecedented event!
Long before leaving the town and merging the state, Yang Guang had heard Changsun Sheng introduce to him that since the Turkic Khanate was strong and hegemonic in Mobei decades ago, only the Huaxia Dynasty had ever called the Turkic Khanate a vassal, paying tribute to goods and treasures, and the Turks had paid tribute to the Huaxia Dynasty to pay tribute to war horses, but it was the first time that the eldest girl had seen her in-laws.
After Yang Guang received the report, he was overjoyed, and personally went out of the north gate of Bingzhou, and took Yongyu Lu and his party into Jinyang Palace, and held a banquet to entertain them.
For the first time, as a vassal prince, he knelt down to Yang Guang and gave a Jin salute, and thanked the Great Sui court on behalf of his father: "Shangbang will do what he says, send troops to help me destroy the traitor Apo tribe, and my father Khan specially ordered me to come to the state and present 3,000 war horses to His Royal Highness the King of Jin in person, so as to live up to the promise made when he set up a deer hunt in Chang'an Shayuan that day." ”
When Yang Guangcha heard this, he subconsciously looked up at Wang Shao and Li Che who were standing aside, and saw that both of them shook their heads at him, saying that they had not yet received a military report from the imperial court, and did not know that the imperial court had sent troops to destroy the Apo tribe, so he replied vaguely: "Since the Great Khan is willing to bow down to my father and the emperor, he should be supported by the imperial court and others. Now the Great Khan did not forget the promise of the day, and ordered the prince to bring 3,000 war horses to pay tribute to the Great Sui, but the little king was disrespectful and temporarily accepted it on behalf of his father. I would like to ask the prince to return to Zihe Town to repay the Great Khan, and greet the Great Khan on behalf of the little king. ”
Then the guests and hosts pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and talked very happily, and when the wine was hot, Yong Yulu took the opportunity to get up and toast Yang Guang, laughed and said to Yang Guang: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, do you know that there are only two things that my Turks have never given away, one is a war horse, and the other is a woman. Father Khan fulfilled his promise that day and paid tribute to the Great Sui court with 3,000 war horses, and Yongyu Lu and His Royal Highness can also be called old friends. As he spoke, he waved at the Turkic officials who accompanied him, and ordered ten beauties to be brought to the palace and invited Yang Guang to take a look.
Yang Guang didn't think about it, and hurriedly stopped the Turkic official, and replied to Yongyu Lu with a smile: "The prince has a good intention, Xiao Wang has a heart, but Xiao Wang's family has a beautiful wife and concubine, and there is nothing else to ask for in this life, please take these ten women back to reunite with their families." ”
Yongyu Lu squinted his eyes, staring at Yang Guang, unable to believe that he was telling the truth, and insisted on persuading: "Your Highness is a young man, how can there be a reason why Ying Yan does not love beauty?" Although the ten beauties I want to dedicate to His Royal Highness are not as beautiful and lovely as the women of the Central Plains, they are also one in a thousand in terms of appearance, and there is no other style. ”
Zhang Heng sat on the side, seeing Yang Guang's face displeased, because he knew that what he said was true, accompanied by the princess Xiao E and the concubine An Ruoxi, a pair of peerless beauties, it was very likely that he was really shirking, so he stood up and persuaded Yongyu Lu for Yang Guang and said: "The prince doesn't know, today's saint and Niangniang's family rules are very strict, and all princes are not allowed to accept any gifts from foreign monarchs and ministers privately without the permission of the saint and Niangniang. If the prince insists on sending ten beauties to my family King Jin, wouldn't he want my King Jin to break the rules set by the current saint and Niangniang? ”
Yang Guang also hurriedly echoed: "What Zhang Shangshu said is very true, Xiao Wang will never dare to disobey the edict of his father and queen mother, and I still ask the prince to understand." ”
Yong Yu Lu saw that Yang Guang had made up his mind to refuse to accept the beauty, so he laughed at himself and said: "If Your Highness refuses to accept it, I have no choice but to take these ten women back, and after Yu Servant and General Changsun inspect the western border, I will transfer these ten women to the two of them." The Emperor of the Great Sui did not explicitly prohibit the ministers of the court from accepting small gifts. ”
