Yang Shangxi and Yang Su, two great talents from the Yang family, aimed to eliminate bandits in Guannei and Guandong, and quickly quelled the rebellions in various state capitals and stabilized the situation near the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the northwest battlefield, Yu Qing, who led the army stationed in Honghua, in order to repay Yang Jian's kindness in reappointing him as prime minister, worked closely with Yang Yong and Yu Wenxin, the princes of Xianyang, to successfully block the Turkic army on the north bank of the Wei River. With the 200,000 troops led by Gao Ying starting from Jianghuai and gathering in Guanzhong, the pressure on the imperial capital Chang'an has been greatly relieved.

When the surrounding situation eased, Yang Jian passed down the edict and reappointed Pei Ju, a member of the Inner Shi She, as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and was ordered to send an envoy to Houliang to propose marriage to the Houliang clan for Yang Guang, the king of Jin.

The reason why Pei Ju was selected by Yang Jian as a proposer to Houliang was mostly because he was good at waiting and knew numerology. Before departing from Chang'an, Dugu Jialuo specially summoned Pei Ju to Zhengyang Palace, and instructed him to choose a woman with good talent and good character in the Xiao clan to marry into the Yang Sect.

Pei Ju was entrusted by the emperor and empress, and he did not dare to take it lightly, so he took a few servants early the next morning after receiving the edict and hurriedly embarked on a trip to Suizhou, the capital of the Later Liang Kingdom.

The Great Sui Emperor proposed an edict to the lord of Later Liang, and the eyeliner arranged by Hou Liang in Chang'an City used a fast horse to pass the news to Xiao Yue, the lord of Later Liang. Xiao Yue was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately ordered the Zongren Mansion of the Later Liang State to prepare all the birthdates of the Xiao clan daughters within the great merits, so as to cooperate with the birthday of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, after the Sui envoy arrived, in order to measure the good fortune, and appointed Xiao Yan, the emperor's younger brother who was the prime minister of the country, as the plenipotentiary and pro-ambassador, responsible for the affairs of the Sui He.

Because at that time, after Chen Shuling, the king of Southern Chen Shixing, hammered his brother Chen Shubao, he had been repeatedly conscripted by the Southern Chen court, and was defeated one after another, completely losing the strength and qualification to compete with Chen Shubao for the throne of Southern Chen.

What's even more ridiculous is that when the news that the king of the Great Sui Jin wanted to choose a princess among the daughters of the Later Liang clan spread in the Later Liang Dynasty, the Xiao clan relatives, including the princesses of the lord Xiao Yue, took the initiative to send the birthday eight characters of their own daughters to the Zongren Mansion, so that the Sui envoy could match Yang Guang's birthday eight characters after the arrival, and there was a great tendency to compete to be the in-laws of the Sui Dynasty.

Seeing that all the clansmen of the Xiao clan showed all kinds of flattery to please the Sui Dynasty, which had just been established for only one year, Xiao Yue, the lord of the Later Liang Dynasty, who was the great-grandson of Xiao Yanyan, the martial emperor of the Southern Liang Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, felt a chill from the bottom of his heart: The world is hot and cold! Once upon a time, Yang Zhong, the father of Yang Jian, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was still a military criminal who was sent to Suizhou, who would have thought that only ten years later, his son would have ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan and became the emperor of the Great Sui who dominated the Central Plains. Looking back, as the great-great-grandson of Xiao Yanyan, Emperor Wu of Southern Liang, who has great talents, he has now fallen into a situation where he wants to curry favor with the Sui Dynasty by marrying a daughter, in order to gain a place and continue to survive.

On the day when Pei Ju and his entourage arrived in Suizhou, they met and feasted Pei Ju in the palace, and in the face of the envoys sent by the Great Sui Emperor to take the initiative to express their sincere gratitude to Hou Liang.

Pei Ju accepted Xiao Yue's banquet in the palace of Houliang, and as soon as he returned to the pavilion where he was staying, he was surrounded by the relatives of the Xiao family who were already waiting outside the door. These people held their own daughter's birthday sticker with a big red envelope, and actually asked Pei Ju to match Yang Guang's birthday with his daughter overnight, so that he could be selected and marry the royal family of the Sui Dynasty.

Pei Ju was born in the Guandong clan, and he knew that the Jiangnan family was still elegant and elegant, and valued the family, because he knew that Yang Jian was not born in the Guanzhong family - Hongnong Yang, but the military Han family of the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty, originally expected that although the Yang family is now a noble Sui royal family, but according to the concept of the door that has been inherited for nearly three hundred years, it is still Gao Pan to marry the Xiao family, one of the four major families in the south of the Yangtze River, but he did not expect that there are so many Xiao clansmen waiting outside the gate of the pavilion late at night, lining up to marry the Yang family, and standing outside the gate of the pavilion accompanied by Xiao Yan, the ambassador of Houliang and the pro-ambassador, For a while, I was a little overwhelmed.

"Rank the clansmen, the lord of the country has a fate, and the state is married, should be selected from the princess born to the lord of the country first, the rank does not have to be anxious, wait for the princesses and His Royal Highness the King of the Great Sui Jin Dynasty to meet the fate, if all of them do not match, and then submit the gift according to the order of the bloodline. It's getting late today, Pei Shilang has been in the dust all the way, and he urgently needs to rest and rest, so please go back. Xiao Yan glanced at the team of personal soldiers brought behind him as he spoke, and the sergeant with a spear in his hand swarmed up, separating the crowd, and escorting Pei Ju and his party into the pavilion with difficulty to rest.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Xiao Yan led the Zongzheng of the Houliang Zongren Mansion to the pavilion in person to match the princesses with their fate. Pei Ju had no choice but to take out Yang Guang's birthday characters that he brought with him, and first handed them over to Hou Liang Zongzheng and the princesses one by one.

Under the personal supervision of the white-haired and white-eyed and senile envoy Xiao Yan, Hou Liang Zongzheng trembled and unfolded the bright yellow silk silk with Yang Guang's birthday written on it, and then matched the princesses born to the lord Xiao Yue one by one in the order of their eldest and youngest children.

Pei Juyin was instructed by the queen before leaving to select a candidate for Yang Guang to be a princess with good character, and sat on the side, staring at Lao Zongzheng and pinching his fingers, his mouth was full of thoughts, and he instinctively felt an inexplicable nervousness for Yang Guang and Princess Houliang to cooperate with the eight characters of the birthday. Whenever Lao Zongzheng shook his head and put down the eight characters of a princess's birthday, Pei Ju couldn't help but take another look at the sticker, and silently repeated the eight characters of Yang Guang's birthday in his heart, for fear that he had missed someone.

However, until the third pole of the sun, Lao Zongzheng carefully cooperated with Yang Guang's birthday characters one by one with the birthday eight characters of the eleven princesses, and still only shook his head, suggesting that none of Xiao Yan's princesses could match Yang Guang's birthday eight characters.

Almost at the same time, Pei Ju also got the same answer as Lao Zongzheng in his heart: among the eleven princesses who have not yet married Houliang, there is no one who can match Yang Guangming.

Seeing this situation, a smile that was imperceptible to others appeared at the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth: since there is no one who can match the eight characters of the King of the Great Sui and Jin Dynasty among the biological daughters of his brother Xiao Yue, it is naturally his daughter's turn to appear next......

"Old man, think about it carefully, do you have any other daughters who can cooperate with King Jin's life?" Pei Ju is familiar with the customs of the north and south, and knows that the children of Jiangnan people, especially daughters, have the custom of being fostered in other families on their birthdays, so he asked.
