Chapter 2 The Horse Farm Turmoil First Sight of Yuwen Chengdu
After returning to the East Palace, Yang Zhao began to plan for tomorrow. Because tomorrow the Son of Heaven and the Queen will watch this game in person, there will definitely be many famous families and families who will come to accompany them. If Yuwen Chengdu and Li Shimin are allowed to participate in Marseille together, with the hostile relationship between the Li family and the Yuwen family, Yuwen Chengdu will definitely deal with Li Shimin. If something happens to Li Shimin in Marseille, there will inevitably be fluctuations within the Li family, and Li Jiancheng will take advantage of the situation to suppress his younger brother's power in the Li family, and Li Shimin's life in the Li family will not be easy. Second, let those famous families who want to win over or attach themselves to the Li family settle down, and now it is still the Great Sui world, and it is the Yang family who sits on this throne. Thirdly, the relationship between the Li family and the Yuwen family is even worse, and it is bound to be dog-eat-dog, and their struggle is bound to be more intense. Fourth, I will choose the right people from them to form the East Palace Guard.
After the plan was thought of, he shouted: "Someone, go and call General Yuwen Chengdu quickly, just say that the prince has something important to discuss with him, please come quickly." After speaking, Yang Zhao wanted to draw the design of the horse farm and hand it over to his subordinates to complete, but found that the brush of the Sui Dynasty was very inconvenient to use, so he had to shout: "Come on, prepare a few thick, neat and beautiful goose wing feathers for Gu, and then use a quick knife to cut out an inclined plane of the goose feather tube." In a short time, the guards made what later historians considered to be one of the greatest inventions of the 7th century.
The guards were curious about what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was doing with this thing. Staring carefully at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Yang Zhao ignored the curiosity of the guards, just thought about the racecourse races he had watched on TV in later generations, and then buried himself in drawing the design of the racecourse on paper. It only took a moment to complete the design of the racecourse, which is indeed much better than a brush. Yang Zhao took the design and said to the guards: "Go find a few empty and idle places, and arrange them according to the above map." Be sure to finish it by tonight. ”
"Yes. Your Highness, General Yuwen has been waiting outside for a long time. ”
"Announce his audience."
"Chen Yuwen Chengdu knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince." The voice is powerful and powerful, and I saw that his body was one zhang long, his waist was large and circumferred, his golden face was long and bearded, and his tiger eyes and thick eyebrows were thick. If there is no Yu culture and rebellion, presumably future generations will also be very sympathetic to General Yuwen.
"The general is exempt from courtesy, Gu Jiuwen The general is brave, he is the first warrior of my Great Sui, and he really deserves his reputation when I see it today. The general must have known what was going on here. ”
"His Majesty said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hold a Marseille tomorrow, and the first one will be selected as the captain of the East Palace Guard. All palace guards and famous families can participate. His Majesty also praised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his intelligence and wit, so as to select talents. Tomorrow I will come with the queen to watch Marseille. ”
"General Yuwen is right, tomorrow Marseille will be very lively, I have instructed Li Yuan to let his second son Li Shimin come over, and then General Gu will persuade him to participate in Marseille and let him behave in front of his father. The royal family, the famous family, and the Jiangmen family will come to watch and even participate, to see whose riding skills are the first in my Dasui? If the general participates in Marseille and wins the first place, the general will not only win fame, but my sister Ruyi will admire the general's heroism even more, and how can Li Shimin, as the general's rival, compete with the general? And Lone admires the general very much, for Li Shimin and the general to compete for the wishful will is the atmosphere, only by handing over my sister to you, can Lone rest assured, can the general participate in Marseille? Fight for my sister's happiness that deserves her. As soon as Yang Zhao finished speaking, there was a squeaky sound at the door. Immediately shouted, "Who's outside the door?" ”
"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Prince. The distance of some obstacles in the racecourse needs to be tested, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can correct them. Xiao Luo said resignedly, Xiao Luo used to be very casual in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and sometimes he smiled, but since the prince who woke up today has become different from before, although he is still as humble and benevolent as before, but there is always a majesty in his eyes that shoots directly into people's hearts. Yang Zhao saw that it was Xiao Luo, and the anger in his heart was gone, not to mention that Xiao Luo was also discovered as soon as he came in and didn't know his plan, he paused, and said to Xiao Luo with a smile: "When Gu finishes talking to General Yuwen, I will go to the racecourse to have a look." Go back to the lonely queen mother first. Yang Zhao didn't know why, every time he saw Xiao Luo, his heart couldn't help but be happy, he had never had this feeling of love at first sight in his two lives, he knew that he couldn't accept her as a concubine, because his father and mother would not allow her to become a concubine in the East Palace. After thinking about it, let's take our time.
"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister will definitely participate in Marseille tomorrow, and he will destroy Li Shimin's prestige." Yuwen Chengdu said with a righteous face. Chengdu looked at Yang Zhao with a worried face, and secretly said that the previously gentle prince had really changed after waking up from an illness, and his gentle and humble appearance had not changed, and his heart had become incomprehensible, as if his words and deeds were in his hands. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but admire the prince, and then retired to the prince. Yang Zhao looked at Yuwen Chengdu's back, and suddenly felt that Yuwen Chengdu could be used as a confidant, after all, Yuwen Chengdu betrayed Yang Guang under the persecution of his father-in-law, plus Yang Guang at that time was already a betrayal, and everyone was betraying. What's more, what about Yuwen Chengdu? As long as he attaches equal importance to him, I believe that he should not betray the Yang family in the future.
