Chapter 1: The First Envoy to the Western Regions

As Pei Ju said, since he is already a family, there is no need to hide some things, and he also hopes to get the full support of the Pei family, this marriage is of great significance to him.

Yang Yuanqing nodded, admitting Pei Yun's question, Pei Yun laughed, "I'll just say it!" If it was just for a concubine sister and a demon dao, King Qi's fate would not be so miserable, and there must be hidden feelings in it. ”

Pei Ju nodded, "Last time you asked Yun Dingxing to come to me, you just vaguely said that it was related to the matter of King Qi, I thought it was for the matter of the concubine sister and the demon Dao, now the more I think about it, the more I feel that it is wrong, I heard that there is a bloody conflict south of the capital, but what is the specific matter, the saint has concealed it, can you tell us?" ”

Yang Yuanqing groaned for a while, and did not hide it, so he started from the Jinyang Palace incident, and talked about the end and Yuwen Chengdu to jointly kill King Qi's private army, this is the first time he frankly explained one thing to people, in fact, he is also a little worried, there are actually loopholes in this, as long as Yang Guang and King Qi meet once, King Qi will say that the real purpose of his private army entering Beijing, Yang Yuan may guess that this is his Yang Yuanqing's strategy, and then continue to interrogate Yun Dingxing, everything will be revealed.

Yang Yuanqing is actually making the next bet, he bets that Yang Guang will not summon King Qi again, like Yang Yong was deposed, and Yang Jian also wanted to see his eldest son one last time when he died.

Hearing this thrilling struggle, the Pei brothers looked at each other, none of them thought that there was such a wonderful story hidden behind this, let alone that the King of Qi would dare to raise a private army.

Pei Yun and Pei Ju glanced at each other, Pei Yun's eyes were full of admiration, this grandson-in-law is amazing, if this son is cultivated well, he will be the key figure in the continuation and prosperity of the Pei family in the future, no wonder the eldest brother values this son so much, and is bent on recruiting him as a son-in-law, even if Yang Yuanqing is driven out of the family by the Yang family, he doesn't care.

At this moment, Pei Yun admired the big brother's eye for people, and in this regard, he was indeed inferior to the eldest brother.

Pei Ju was shocked in his heart, but he didn't want to praise Yang Yuanqing too much, he understood why Yang Yuanqing would tell them about this matter as it was, and actually asked them for advice.

He pondered for a moment and said: "Yuan Qing, it is actually very risky for you to do these things, don't you think that the Holy Lord doesn't know, there are many things he just doesn't want to pursue, at least he doesn't want to pursue it now, because he wants to use you to go to the Western Regions, such as Chang Ping's position, Chang Ping was robbed, so he doesn't blame the public, but what about those people who are the leader?" You didn't hold them accountable, this is where you mishandled, and your last plan, you can only say that you are lucky, Yuwen Chengdu killed the demon because he didn't want the scandal of the palace to spread, if the demon didn't do that kind of ugly thing, with Yuwen Chengdu's caution, he would definitely hand over the demon to Dali Temple for interrogation, at that time, many things will be exposed, do you understand? ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, he really didn't do it properly when he closed the position, and let Zhai Rang go, but about the demon road, Yang Yuanqing felt that it was necessary to explain, so he said: "I know that the demon road is dangerous, in fact, I have arranged it, even if Yuwen Chengdu doesn't kill him, I will kill him halfway, and I will never let him be interrogated." ”

At this time, Pei Yun smiled on the side: "Yuanqing, you don't understand what your grandfather-in-law meant, he didn't say that there was a problem with your plan, but that there was a problem with your method, to put it in layman's terms, you are called a half-sized son dancing a heavy hammer, although you barely danced down, but if you are not careful, you will smash yourself, with your strength, you can't use this method to bring down King Qi, don't underestimate the saint, he is indeed because he still wants to use you, so some things don't care about you, and when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you discuss it with us, and we will join forces to do it, It's more certain that way. ”

Pei Ju also patted Yang Yuanqing on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "We hope that you can continue to walk, walk better and more steadily, you are already the son-in-law of the Pei family, our interests are completely identical, don't have any ideas of using each other." ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, although he did not agree with what Pei Ju said, their interests were completely identical, but the two of them said well in many places, such as Pei Ju said, the saint just wants to use him, so many things don't care about him, and Pei Yun said, half a big boy dances a heavy hammer, this metaphor is very vivid, he does have this feeling, this matter is more difficult to do, not free, many times he is betting, such as Yun Dingxing, this key person, he can't really control him.

Pei Ju knew that there were things that Yuan Qing needed to slowly understand, so he nodded and said, "Go ahead!" Let's meet the guests first, and if you have time, we'll talk about the Western Regions, that's your chance. ”

Yang Yuanqing bowed and went down, and when he walked away, Pei Ju smiled and asked, "How?" Tell me how you feel about him. ”

Pei Yun sighed softly: "Although he is still a little short of being mature and sleek, but he has already revealed, it is the luck of the Pei family to have this son as a son-in-law, but it is ....."

"But what?" Pei Ju looked at Pei Yun and asked.

"But.... Big brother, don't think about controlling him, this person is domineering, definitely not a thing in the pool, we can only cooperate with him and win him over, if the Pei family wants to control him, then he will inevitably be eaten by him in the end. ”

Pei Ju lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

．．．．．．．

Three days later, Yang Yuanqing officially bid farewell to his newlywed wife and embarked on a long journey to the Western Regions, Pei Ju, as an envoy to the Western Regions, also set off at the same time as Yang Yuanqing, and the task he accepted was closely related to Yang Yuanqing's task, Yang Yuanqing's task was to take the Yiwu country and cut off the Western Turks' support for Tuyuhun, while Pei Ju was to persuade the Khan of Qibi to attack Tuyuhun from the west.

In the western suburbs of Luoyang, although Minqiu told herself not to cry and say goodbye to Yuanqing with a smile, when her husband finally took her into his arms and said goodbye to her, she could no longer restrain the sadness in her heart, and tears rolled down.

"Husband, I am going to the Western Regions, I hope I will take care of myself, I must return safely, and the concubine will pray for my husband every day."

Yang Yuanqing kissed her lightly on the forehead, and also whispered to her, "I have a lot of enemies in the capital, especially the Yuan family, you must not be careless, I begged my aunt yesterday, she will protect you, and you yourself should be careful." ”

"I will definitely be careful, please rest assured!"

Pei Minqiu held back her tears, smiled, Yang Yuanqing let go of her hand, turned around and walked towards the war horse, his nine iron guards all rode horses to follow beside him, this time Huangfu Xu did not follow, the court is investigating the cause of his death, Huangfu Xu took his wife and daughter to temporarily hide in his hometown in Shuzhong, and then he went out of the mountain under a pseudonym after the rumors.

Yang Yuanqing turned over and waved to her with a smile, "Half a year at most, four months at least, I will definitely come back!" ”

He turned his horse's head, whipped his horse violently, and led the nine iron guards to chase after Pei Ju's team that had already gone away, and gradually, ten people had become a group of black spots.

Pei Minqiu looked at her husband's distant back, she waved her hand lightly and murmured, "Husband, take care all the way!" ”

．．．．．．

"Yuanqing, this battle against Tuyuhun is extraordinary, if defeated, the territory of my Great Sui will not only expand thousands of miles, but also the Qiang people in the Hexi Corridor will not have the support of the Tuyuhun people, they will calm down, the threat to the Hexi Corridor will be greatly reduced, the land of the Great Sui will be protected, and the Silk Road will also be smooth, if we look a little further, we will take Yiwu and Xihai as logistics sites, and we can fully confront the Western Turks, and no longer rely too much on the Khan of the People's Republic of China, the Holy Lord also told me, The Khan of Qimin is not reliable. ”

Pei Ju was full of interest all the way, although he was sixty-two years old, but he was still full of spirit, and he did not take the mission to the Western Regions as a hardship, and Yang Guang's strategy for the Western Regions was his suggestion, once successful, he Pei Ju will be famous through the ages, no less than Zhang Qian and Ban Chao of the Han Dynasty.

Yang Yuanqing also smiled: "Now some people in the government and the opposition criticize Grandfather Yue for being too good to the Hu people in the Western Regions, in order to let them come to the Central Plains, not only to eat and live, but also to let them make money, there are many criticisms!" ”

"I know that there is a lot of criticism of this kind, but I can only say that these people are blind and can't understand my Great Sui's strategy for the Western Regions!"

Pei Ju said with some emotion: "To the Hu people in the Western Regions, Huairou is actually just a means, the Turks are mean to them, we will be lenient to them, give them benefits, let them trade, let them feel that the Great Sui is profitable, they will be tempted by profits, difficult to extricate themselves, so as to reject the Turks, and then we march westward, establish counties in the Western Regions, step by step encroach on the land of the Tiele people, restore the glory of the Han Dynasty, and wait for us to gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions, waiting for the Hu people in the Western Regions, will perish, and the money they earn from the Great Sui." Does it still belong to us? ”

Pei Ju sighed again and said to Yang Yuanqing: "I am already old, and in the future, the strategy of the Western Regions of the Great Sui will have to be realized by you one by one, a hundred years is too long, I hope that after thirty years, my Great Sui will establish twenty counties in the Western Regions, and completely drive the Western Turks to the west of the Green Mountains!" ”

Yang Yuanqing was also infected by Pei Ju's strong heart, and said with a smile: "The Green Ridge is by no means the border of our Great Sui, there are still broken leaves to the west, there are Dawan, and the Nine Kingdoms of Sogdia, let the Amu Darya River become the border of our Great Sui." ”

Yang Yuanqing's words made Pei Ju's eyes light up, and he sighed leisurely, "If there is really one day, I will have no regrets if I die!" ”

．．．．．．

Three days later, they passed through Chang'an and arrived at Xianyang, on Xianyang Street, Yang Yuanqing looked around, as if he was looking for something, Pei Ju was quite curious, and asked with a smile: "Yuanqing, as soon as you enter the city, you are looking for something, what are you looking for?" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled mysteriously, "Find someone." ”

"Childe, I saw it!"

Yang Sanlang pointed to the signboard of a wine shop in the distance and smiled: "Isn't that the wine shop of the 'Three Fresh Pavilion'?" I don't know if Da Lang is in there at this time? ”

Yang Yuanqing also saw it, a huge yellow flag with the three big characters of 'Sanxian Pavilion', he met Li Shimin for the first time in this wine shop.

Yang Yuanqing urged the horse to run towards the wine store, he asked Yang Dalang to come to Xianyang to find one for himself in advance, but I don't know if he found it?

Far away, there were still a hundred steps away from the wine shop, he saw it, and ran down from the upstairs of the wine shop, one of them was Yang Dalang, and the other was wearing a white robe, silver helmet and soft armor, with a heroic posture and a majestic physique, he walked vigorously and strode towards him, with a long absence on his face!
