Yu Wenshu's face showed a strange smile: "Back to the Supreme, Yun Dingxing and Yun's father and daughter, because they were implicated in the case of King Fangling, have been confiscated into the palace as slaves, a few days ago when Wei Chen occasionally visited the Shaofu Prison, he found that the weapons made by Yun Dingxing were not only sharp, but also gorgeous and exquisite, which can greatly reflect the majesty of my Great Sui Army, so Wei Chen thinks that if His Majesty intends to patrol the Quartet and subdue the people, he should promote and reuse this Yun Dingxing, so that people can make the best use of it." ”

The corners of Yang Guang's mouth hooked: "But this Yun Dingxing father and daughter, after all, they have been involved too much with King Fangling before, and the sons born by King Fangling and the Yun family are still there, if these two people turn over once, will they find a way to give those little cubs a chance to make a comeback and avenge their father?" ”

Yu Wenshu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, why don't I bring that Yun Dingxing in now, and you ask him personally?" How about if he showed the slightest sympathy and attachment to those little cubs, and continued to let him go back to the slave labor camp? ”

Yang Guang laughed: "Then according to what Qing said!" Come on, Xuanyun Dingxing enters the palace! ”

Soon, a short and thin old man wearing a blue cloth coat, looking about fifty or sixty years old, with white hair, wrinkled face, triangular eyes, and goatee, walked in, it was the father-in-law of the former prince Yang Yong, Yun Dingxing, the father of Yun Zhaoxun.

Yun Dingxing walked thirty steps away from Yang Guang's big case, and knelt down with a "plop", and his head began to make intimate contact with the ground countless times, the sound was so loud that even Yang Guang, who was thirty steps away, could hear it clearly, and his face showed an unbearable look.

Yun Dingxing kowtowed nine times in a row, and then raised his head. The door of the head was already red. His voice was shrill and high-pitched. It is somewhat similar to the inner servants and eunuchs in this palace, and said loudly: "Sin slave Yun Dingxing, I have seen the Supreme, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Yang Guang rarely saw someone kowtow to himself so respectfully, although Yu Shiji and Pei Yun, these upstart literati would shoot themselves every day in various new tricks, but they would not lie in front of him like a dog, kowtowing so creatively, he was very happy in his heart. But his face was still impassive, as an excellent actor, he knew very well how to maintain the majesty of the emperor in front of his courtiers: "You are Yun Dingxing? ”

Yun Dingxing didn't dare to raise his head too high to look at Yang Guang, hung his head, and knelt on the ground, but his voice was clearly heard by Yang Guang: "The sin slave is Yun Dingxing." ”

Yang Guang nodded: "Do you know what your crime is?" ”

Yun Dingxing said respectfully: "The biggest sin of the criminal slave is that he was greedy for wealth for a while, and let his daughter seduce the former King of Fangling and give birth to a litter of evil seeds for him. He did not persuade him, let alone report to the former emperor and His Majesty in time about the various illegal acts of King Fangling. This is the great sin of the slave of sin, and he deserves it to get to this point, without complaint! ”

Yang Guang's face sank: "Yun Dingxing, when you were in the East Palace, you were the father-in-law of King Fangling, and what he did should be advised, how can you take the initiative to leak these things to the outside world?" Do you think the emperor and I will like a snitch? ”

Yun Dingxing hurriedly kowtowed a few more times: "What Your Majesty taught is, alas, in fact, the sin slave didn't persuade King Fangling back then, but his Majesty also knew that he couldn't listen to persuasion, like the left concubine and the right concubine, these people accompanied him all day long, drinking and having fun, how could the sin slave dare to stir him up again and again?" said that he reported this matter to the emperor and His Majesty, but he only hoped that the Supreme could persuade him, after all, what the emperor said, King Fangling still didn't dare not listen, and he would be more or less restrained. ”

Yang Guang's face softened slightly: "Oh, then in this way, you are not a villain who betrayed the lord, okay, listening to what General Yuwen said, you still have some talents, after King Fangling was abolished, you have also been a slave for six or seven years." ”

Yun Dingxing immediately said: "It's six years, nine months and thirteen days!" ”

Yang Guang laughed: "You really have the ability, where are you counting day by day, okay, I ask you a question, those grandchildren of yours are still there, if I release you now and reappoint you, you will take these grandchildren back and raise them well, after all, they are all my own nephews, and I can't bear to let them suffer for many years in the states and counties outside, in the past, no one could raise them, and it was not appropriate for these sinners to live in the palace later, now that you are out, I will leave this matter to you." ”

Yun Dingxing's eyes flashed with a trace of vicious light, and he disappeared in a flash, raised his head and shouted: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”

Yang Guang was slightly stunned: "Why not?" Now that King Fangling is dead, who else in this world can support these people except you? ”

The corners of Yun Dingxing's mouth showed a cruel smile: "Your Majesty, King Fangling was deposed by the first emperor because of the crime of plotting rebellion and befriending important ministers, and he should have been killed, but the first emperor was benevolent, and the love between father and son still left him alive, I didn't think that this thief did not want to repent, but tried in vain to collude with bandits and raise troops when the emperor was dying. It can be said that King Fangling is a heinous person, and it is really not enough to wash away his sins by dying 10,000 times! ”

Yang Guang's eyebrows moved: "King Fangling has indeed gone too far on the crooked road, after all, I and him are the flesh and blood of the same mother, although I killed him because of the last order of the emperor, but I can't bear it." But the children of King Fangling, as well as your grandsons, are still children, and there is nothing to blame, in the past few years of exile, they have suffered a lot, and your grandfather has been pardoned, shouldn't he just raise them? ”

Yun Dingxing shook his head: "Your Majesty, listen to the persuasion of the sin slave, cut the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and gives birth, after all, these are the blood and blood of King Fangling, avenging their father is what they must do, the children didn't know these things when they were young, but when they grow up, they know these things, and the sin slaves are afraid that these people will be unfavorable to His Majesty." ”

Yang Guang was secretly happy in his heart, today he has been testing this Yun Dingxing, as long as he has half the idea of raising Yang Yong's orphan just now, don't think about turning over as a slave in this life. But Yang Guang still pretended to have a sinking face. He said sharply: "Tiger poison does not eat children." Yun Dingxing, you are their grandfather, are you so unethical? ”

Yun Dingxing raised his head and said loudly: "The criminal slave knows that he has a monarch father, a country, and a grandson, so he wants to protect his small family." These grandsons of the sin slave will be against His Majesty in the future. It will pose a threat to my Great Sui and must be eliminated, and the criminal slave is willing to do this for His Majesty with his own hands. ”

Yang Guang was overjoyed in his heart, his brows also stretched, and he said with a smile: "Yun Dingxing, it's rare that you are so loyal, it's okay, since you took the initiative to ask for your life like this, then this matter will be handed over to you, General Yuwen." You transferred a hundred Xiaoguo elite soldiers, and distributed them to various ways with Yun Dingxing to hunt and kill the son of King Fangling. After the matter is completed, I will decide what kind of official position to give him according to Yun Dingxing's work. How's it going? ”

Yun Dingxing was moved to tears, and there was another sound: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

When he raised his head again, Yun Dingxing saw Yang Guang's face, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his smile, and he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, only to hear Yang Guang say coldly: "The next time we meet again, I hope I can call you Yun Shaofu." ”

Yuwenshu and Yun Dingxing left the Liangyi Hall one after the other, Yuwenshu strutted in front, and Yun Dingxing was still half-bent over, and he followed the same step in the back, and there was no difference between his gestures and the eunuchs in this palace, until he walked to a corner where no one was around, Yuwenshu turned around, and Yun Dingxing also straightened his waist and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Today depends on the general's great help, if it weren't for the general's reminder, Yun is only afraid that he will not see the light of day in this life." ”

Yuwen Shu laughed and patted Yun Dingxing's shoulder: "Lao Yun, you and my brother have been friends for many years, even in the past few years when you were in prison and slavery, I haven't forgotten you, if you can turn over this time, don't forget the benefits of my brother." ”

Yun Dingxing had a flattering smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "That's still thanks to the general, when Yun was in trouble, he was a slave, and his property was confiscated, if it wasn't for the general's protection, for the sake of many years of friends, he helped Yun take care of those treasures, Yun Mou wants to do it up and down today, and it is impossible to achieve it, just like the night pearl given to the general a few days ago, it was originally managed by the general, you just want to take it as your own, and it is just a matter of words, so Yun is sincerely grateful to the general, Not to mention that the little family wealth in my hand now is what I will get in the future, and if the general is satisfied, he will take it casually. ”

Yu Wenshu smiled and waved his hand: "You and my brother don't have to be so polite, my brother's skillful hands are unparalleled in the world, and His Majesty likes exquisite and gorgeous utensils, so sooner or later my brother will be of great use, by the way, what I told you the day before yesterday is to let my nephew marry your daughter, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Yun Dingxing's face changed: "General, isn't Your Majesty still unwilling to pardon my daughter?" ”

Yu Wenshu shook his head, looked around, and lowered his voice after making sure that there was no one nearby: "In my opinion, His Majesty seems to be interested in Ling Ai, if you do things smoothly this time, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not only promote your official, but also bring Ling Ai into the harem!" ”

Yun Dingxing was so excited that he almost fainted: "Really? I still don't believe it, the little girl used to be Yang Yong's woman, and she is over thirty years old, what kind of woman does your majesty have, and she has to serve the little girl? ”

Yuwen Shu laughed: "Brother Yun, believe me, that's right, what His Majesty likes is these who are full of amorous feelings, familiar with bed things, the first two years were favored Mrs. Xuanhua and Mrs. Ronghua, and the age is about the same as Ling Ai, last year these two ladies were forced out of the palace as nuns, and His Majesty was still depressed for a while, otherwise why would he suddenly mention the matter of killing Yang Yong's son today, isn't it just that he is afraid that these little cubs are still there, and Ling Ai is only afraid that he will be half-hearted. ”

Yun Dingxing suddenly realized: "I see, General Yuwen, you still know the Supreme, if you hadn't reminded me of these dispositions of my grandson yesterday, I would never have been able to turn over today." I'll just hug your thighs in the future. ”

Yu Wenshu smiled and patted Yun Dingxing's shoulder: "It's easy to say, in the future, our brothers will get rich together and get rich together." As long as His Majesty's country is eternal, Dasui is our world, hahahaha. ”

The two of them laughed from the bottom of their hearts and smuggled back and forth between the palace walls, startling a few old crows in the trees next door to fly into the air, and two bird droppings fell on the faces of the two, and the two red fluttering faces instantly had a few more white spots. The smell of makes people nauseated. The two smug guys suddenly froze their smiles. looked at each other and hummed for a long time, but they couldn't even let out a fart.

At the same time, in the underground secret room of the garden, Wang Shichong was dressed in silk gauze, his expression was relaxed, shaking a folding fan, and sitting on his tiger skin chair. Listening to Wei Zheng's report on this Turkic trip.

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, Wang Shichong opened his eyes that were slightly closed before, and said with a smile: "Xuancheng, this time it's really hard for you, I didn't expect you to see the three princes for the first time, and you can do this thing so well, even Feng Lun looks like he has been tricked, it's really not easy." ”

Wei Zheng didn't laugh along, he sighed: "Lord, there won't be any big problems this time." It's just that the longer I have been in contact with these three Turkic princes, the more worried I become. Among these three guys, except for Tong Lifu, who is a little simpler, Du Bi and Du Ji are both wise and brave, far-reaching and strategic, much stronger than Yang Guang, no matter which one takes over the position of the Turkic Great Khan in the future, it will be a huge threat to my Great Sui, and the lord must take precautions as soon as possible. ”

Wang Shichong hooked the corners of his mouth: "Defense? What can I do to prevent it? Originally, the best way to deal with the Turks was to divide and conquer and provoke them to fight each other, but Changsun Sheng gave up this strategy he personally formulated for his own considerations, and now these wolves have grown up, and the Western Turks' Chuluo Khan is weak, and even the Western Turks can't suppress their hometowns, and it is impossible to pose a threat to their eastern neighbors, even if we intend to provoke it, it is impossible for the two sides to fight, Xuan Cheng, what good plan do you have, such as letting these three brothers fight each other? ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "I'm afraid it's very difficult, I took a closer look this time, on the grassland, the strong is the king, it stands to reason that Qimin Khan is cowardly and incompetent, and the three princes should fight each other, but I don't know what's going on, although these three brothers are not born to one mother, the relationship is excellent, probably when Qimin Khan was defeated and fled, these three brothers knew that only unity can survive, and over the years, they have also developed in one direction, there are no conflicts and contradictions between each other, lord, I don't think it's possible to provoke them to kill each other. ”

Wang Shichong pondered for a moment and said: "But judging from what you just said, there is also some intrigue between Dubi and Duji, can this be used in the future?" ”

Wei Zheng sighed: "I don't think it's possible, if the two really have irreconcilable contradictions, Du Bi will not find Du Ji to help with this, let alone give up Yuwen Shu, who has cooperated with him for many years, to cooperate with us instead." In the final analysis, these two people are one in the south of the desert and the other in the north of the desert, separated by the vast desert, which is their natural buffer zone, and these three princes know that in the past, the Turks were not in harmony and killed each other, so they gave us Han people an opportunity to break them all, and this time it is impossible to go back to the old road. ”

Wang Shichong gritted his teeth: "Then with Xuancheng's meaning, we will sever ties with the Turks in the future?" ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "No, the lord's plan is the world, and he will have to create chaos in the future, I know that your bottom line is that you don't want the Turks to take the opportunity to enter the customs and kill the people of my Central Plains, so this time the conditions for me to talk to them are also to get along with each other on an equal footing in the future, and the brothers are commensurate, but what I'm worried about is that I am afraid that the heroes in the north in the future will offer the Turks more favorable conditions than the lord, and the Turks will choose to cooperate with others at that time, my lord, I know you don't like those people in history who led foreign captives into the customs, I think these people are traitors to my Huaxia, I'm sorry for my ancestors, but in the troubled times, it's about the power of soldiers and horses, and it's about strength, so you can't be too pedantic. ”

Wang Shichong said coldly: "What Xuan Cheng means, like Dou Jiande and Xue Ju, will they not hesitate to get in touch with these Turks when the time comes?" ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "Xue Ju is not easy to say there, but with his understanding of Dou Jiande, he will almost definitely lead the Turkic soldiers into the Central Plains, lord, don't forget, he made an enmity with that Wang Suba, which is the beam he formed when the Turks were transporting goods to people's bodyguards." If there are really troubled times, with his relationship with the Turks, it would be strange not to look for the Turks. ”

Wang Shichong thought for a while and said: "But what he knows is not the three Turkic princes, let alone the Khan of Qimin, at best, it is just a Turkic tribe, not the entire Ashina headquarters." ”

Wei Zheng sighed: "During the Taiping period, of course he couldn't know any Turkic nobles, and the three princes wouldn't find such an ordinary merchant in the Central Plains, or a good man in the green forest, but in troubled times, if the Turkic Khan at that time fell into the hands of any of the three brothers, especially the second prince Duji, then he would definitely find a powerful person who could lead them into the Central Plains to form an alliance, Dou Jiande's ability to do something in Hebei in the future, and he was a low-level commoner, It is impossible to get the support of the family, if you want to gain a foothold, you must attract strong Turkic soldiers, lord, I am afraid that what you are not willing to do, someone is willing to do it, and it will be ahead of us, and then the relationship between the Turks and us will become very troublesome. ”

Wang Shichong looked at Wei Zheng motionlessly: "Do you mean that you want me to give up my previous ideas and take the initiative to cooperate with the Turks?" ”

Wei Zhengzheng said: "Lord, Wei also knows that Huayi has great defense, even if it is in troubled times, leading jackals into the customs, even if it wins the world, it will be despised by people, but in troubled times, it is not possible to rely on morality and faith to gain a foothold, it is not easy to have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in troubled times, and it is necessary to keep fighting with other heroes, consumption, if you can get the help of hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry, then the big thing can be determined, and after you dominate the world, you can find a way to send these Turks out of the country, or temporarily surrender to them, marriage, It's all a choice to make, and if we don't, and someone else does it first, then we will be very passive. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Xuancheng, is there any other choice than to lead the Turkic soldiers into the Kou?" ”

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth: "If the lord really has no intention of letting the Turks enter the customs, then from now on, we must give up the support for the Turks, especially the iron trade, and we can no longer continue, we must try our best to divide and disintegrate the connection between the three princes, and we must find a way to provoke the contradictions and conflicts between the Western Turkic Luo Khan and them, so that in the troubled times, these Turkic wolves will not be able to go south." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Are there only these two roads?" ”

Wei Zheng paused: "There is one more, that is, don't eliminate Yang Guang too quickly for the time being, postpone the timing of the uprising, and let the Great Sui start a war with the Turks, you take the opportunity to lead the troops in this war, fight the Turks to strengthen yourself, and drive the Turks far away from Monan, at least ten years without the ability to go south, and then think about the incident, but in this way, Yang Guang's rule may become stable, and our relationship with the Turks may be exposed, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to use this strategy." ”

Wang Shichong nodded seriously, and said: "Xuancheng, your analysis is very good, but you have ignored one thing, that is, the real thoughts of the Turks, according to my judgment, it is unlikely that they will choose to go south and enter the Central Plains in the troubled times." Instead, it will divide and rule, and support multiple northern separatist forces at the same time, so as to achieve the effect of reaping the benefits. ”

Wei Zheng was slightly stunned, and immediately replied: "I would like to hear the details." ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: "Since the beginning of the Xiongnu, it has been making peace with the Han Dynasty, although it has been robbing the border passes, but before the Han Wu Emperor took the initiative to attack, there was no major war between the Han and the Huns, after the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although there were five Hu Chaohua, but it was mostly because of the Xiongnu and Qiang people who moved into the Han land in the Eastern Han Dynasty earlier, not the Hu people in the north who took the initiative to go south. ”

"As for the Tuoba clan and the Murong clan of the Xianbei clan later, they successively moved south, gave up the grassland of their ancestral home, and entered the Central Plains, although they established a dynasty, but in the end they were still forced to give up their nomadic lifestyle, and turned to farming like our Han people, which is what we call assimilation, integration, and now there are no Xianbei people, only the people of my Great Sui, the Yuan family, and the Changsun family, these former Xianbei nobles, even changed their surnames to Han surnames, and speak Chinese, is there any difference between us Han people?"

"So if the Hu people want to go south, they must move their tribes in, because their population is too small, and the Central Plains cannot be nomalist, so sooner or later we will have to assimilate the Han people, even if some people want to return to the grassland, they will find that the grassland has been occupied by new, original backward tribes, and they can't go back."
