Chapter 61
[Pain! Sui and Tang Dynasties during the day, Three Kingdoms at night, spanning four hundred years of history, many readers told me that the Three Kingdoms was written badly, I have at least read thirty books of the Three Kingdoms at the beginning of the past few days, and found that I can't read it, in fact, it is not a matter of the plot, but because the author does not have the pen power to write the Three Kingdoms, generally written relatively naΓ―ve, relatively shallow 09 years I wanted to write the Three Kingdoms, but I didn't dare to write, because I knew that I didn't have that ability, until 4 years later, Lao Gao finally had a little confidence, Lao Gao had written more than 10 million words, I believe that with my pen and my understanding of the Three Kingdoms, I will not disappoint you......

As much as possible, Yang Jun was extremely reluctant to see Li Shimin, the king of Qin, under the coercion of Zhang Gongjin, he had to change into a robe, and followed Zhang Gongjin out, at this time the sky was already slightly dark, and the dim twilight shrouded Chang'an City, and the Vermilion Bird Street was very quiet.
"Yang Yuanjun, have you noticed that the atmosphere on the street has been a little strange recently?" In the carriage, Zhang Gongjin, who was sitting on the side, said lightly.
Although Yang Jun has to go back and forth to Suzaku Street every day, he has never noticed these subtle changes in the market, Zhang Gongjin's reminder, only to make him suddenly realize that the sky has not yet darkened, there are no pedestrians on the street, this is the warm spring season, is the most vibrant time of the year.
Yang Jun couldn't help but sigh slightly: "The price of rice has risen by 200 Wen, people's hearts are unstable, how can they see prosperity?" β
"Yang Yuanjun really doesn't think about a way out for himself?" Zhang Gongjin still seemed to be unwilling, and once again knocked on the side.
Yang Jun sneered, "It's a big deal, I can still be a rich man, he doesn't dare to kill me, but General Zhang, where is your way out, have you considered it?" β
"Huh!"
Zhang Gongjin laughed dryly, but did not answer him, in fact, everyone in the Tang Dynasty is thinking about their future way out, although the upper echelons say that they will work hard to turn defeat into victory, but can they really turn defeat into victory? Even Zhang Gongjin himself was not sure, and the dry smile on his face gradually turned into a bitter smile.
The carriage stopped at the side gate of the Qin Wangfu It was already dark at this time, the two got out of the carriage, Yang Jun glanced around, did not see anything abnormal, and hurriedly followed Zhang Gongjin into the Qin Wangfu.
On the big tree in the courtyard of a mansion not far away, among the lush foliage, a man in black was watching Yang Jun walk into the side door of the Qin Palace, and he snorted very slightly.
"Weichen see King Qin Dianping!"
In Li Shimin's outer study, Yang Jun gave a long salute and was very respectful, Li Shimin was sitting behind the table and reading a book, and he didn't seem too enthusiastic, he was actually meeting Yang Jun for the second time, Yang Jun's lukewarm, neither cooperating, nor refusing attitude really made him a little nerve-wracking.
Li Shimin found that this Yang Juncheng Mansion was very deep, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking, unlike his younger brother, who immediately threw himself to the ground with a slight pull.
Li Shimin put down the book and asked with a smile on his face: "Yang Yuanjun, I don't know how you thought about what I proposed last time?" β
Last time, Li Shimin clearly proposed to let Yang Jun work for himself, Yang Jun pushed back to think about it, this consideration is nearly a month, and today he asked him again, no matter what, he can't use consideration to prevaricate.
Yang Jun sighed secretly in his heart, so he had to bow down and say: "Back to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats me well, if I abandon the Prince and serve His Royal Highness, I'm afraid it will be disgraceful, and the procedures on the part of the Ministry are not easy to handle?" β
Li Shimin's face changed, this Yang Jun was still pretending to be confused in front of him, did he mean to let him leave the East Palace and come to the Qin Palace? Li Shimin was a little annoyed in his heart, and he simply said coldly: "Since that's the case, you can go!" Lone won't look for you again in the future. β
Zhang Gongjin next to him hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness is angry, Yang Yuanjun didn't mean this, His Highness misunderstood." β
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, and there was a murderous burst in his eyes, and he asked lightly, "What does Yang Yuanjun mean?" β
Yang Jun actually knew very well what Li Shimin wanted to do, he really didn't want to get involved in the infighting between the two brothers, but he also felt the annoyance in Li Shimin's heart, if he didn't know each other again, I was afraid that he would be more than lucky.
Helpless, he had to bow down and say: "Your Highness, what Weichen means is that Weichen can't do things for His Highness clearly, and the prince is suspicious by nature, and Weichen can't often communicate with the Qin Palace......"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Shimin interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Okay, I don't want you to do anything more, you just need to do one thing for me." β
"Wechen is willing to serve His Highness."
Li Shimin nodded, "I will never treat people who are willing to do things for me, you can rest assured, you will keep your son safe, and you will not let them have any problems, you go!" β
Yang Jun's heart was cold, his two sons were hiding in the manor, did King Qin know? Listening to his tone, he seemed to know, and his heart began to feel uneasy, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to bow down and leave.
After a while, Zhang Gongjin sent Yang Jun away and returned to the study, he saluted and said, "Your Highness, this person should not be a big problem." β
Li Shimin shook his head and said coldly: "This person has ill intentions, the city is very deep, you don't know his true thoughts, until the last moment, you must not believe him too much, but his two sons are indeed his weakness." β
"Your Highness, do you want to bring his two sons into the palace and force him to serve."
Li Shimin walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and finally he stopped and said: "You don't have to do this, it will alarm the prince, and Yang Jun will become a waste of chess, the best way is to trigger it, monitor his two sons, but don't move them, Yang Jun is a smart person, he will be obedient." β
"Your Highness is really clever."
Zhang Gongjin exclaimed and asked again: "Then what about Yang Rong?" β
Li Shimin snorted slightly in his nose, "Yang Rong's reputation is too bad, it is estimated that the prince will not trust him too much, use him as bait, and we will secretly cross Chen Cang." β

Luoyang, Yang Yuanqing returned to the Central Plains from Xiangyang, it has been almost half a month, he has been staying in Luoyang, every day is very busy, receiving officials from the 12 counties of Henan Province, inspecting farmland and water conservancy, visiting the people's livelihood.
Luoyang City in the winter of last year after the last war, almost became an empty city, 12 people only more than 7,000 households, less than 50,000 people, the former garden Qionghai has been destroyed, into a piece of farmland, pavilions and pavilions into ruins, full of sores, Yang Guang once poor the world's wealth to build a prosperous city, has been extremely decayed.
However, under the cleaning and rectification of tens of thousands of Sui troops for nearly half a month, the filthy garbage in Luoyang City has been filled in, and although the entire city is sparsely populated, it is also clean and refreshing, and the whole city has a new look.
As soon as the day dawned, the gate of Luoyang City was opened as usual, hundreds of peasants who had been waiting outside the city rushed in, carrying vegetable burdens, pushing fish carts, scrambling to enter the city to do business, far away, there were more than 1,000 immigrants riding donkeys and driving mule carts, helping the old and the young, with meager belongings, ready to return to Luoyang City.
These were originally residents of Luoyang, fleeing the war and leaving Luoyang, with the end of the war, they began to return to their hometowns, almost every day hundreds of people, thousands of people returned from all over the country, the soldiers defending the city have long been commonplace, do not interrogate, let them enter the city.
In the crowd followed by several officials on horseback, the leader was Yang Shidao who came from Taiyuan, and four or five people behind him were his entourage, although it was the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, but Yang Shidao did not put on a high-ranking official stand, but followed the large group of people, slowly entered the city.
"Yang Zhuguo!"
Someone suddenly shouted at the head of the city, Yang Shidao looked up, and saw an officer who looked like a captain, but next to him, a general with a golden helmet on his head was looking at him with a smile, it was Yang Yuanqing, Yang Shidao's heart was hot, and Bai Chengtou waved his hand.
Entering the city, Yang Shidao turned over and dismounted, walked quickly on the hundred roads, and walked towards the city, Yang Yuanqing had been waiting for him with a smile on his face for a long time, "I estimated that Yang Xiangguo would come, so I waited at the head of the city early in the morning, and sure enough, I came." β
Yang Yuanqing joked half-truthfully, the two laughed together, they hadn't seen each other for a few months, both of them felt very happy, Yang Shidao looked Yang Yuanqing up and down, and saw that he had become black and thin, and his jaw had a hard stubble, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Your Highness has worked hard." β
Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly: "Fight the world!" How can there be such a comfortable thing, it will always be hard, but this kind of hard life is coming to an end. β
Yang Shidao heard what Yang Yuanqing said, and hurriedly asked, "When is Your Highness going to attack Guanzhong?" β
"This question is not urgent, I will take you to see the new appearance of Luoyang."
Yang Yuanqing ordered his own soldiers to prepare horses, he and Yang Shidao turned over on their horses, and under the escort of hundreds of personal soldiers, they walked slowly north along Dingdingmen Street.
Yang Yuanqing pointed to the Fangqiang market on both sides with a horsewhip, "When I first entered Luoyang, it was really a mess, there were dead bodies of people and animals everywhere, and the smell was stinking, fortunately, it was cleaned up for more than half a month, and it was sprinkled with lime water, and now there is no more filth, it has become much cleaner and refreshing, and now there are people moving back every day, and the county government is busy with a mess, basically to replace the house deed." β
"Has Your Highness considered moving the capital to Luoyang?" Yang Shidao asked with a smile.
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I don't consider moving the capital to Luoyang, but it can be used as the eastern capital in the future, I still decided to make the capital Chang'an." β
"Actually, I don't think it's necessary, the foundation of our new Sui is not the Guanlong nobles, but the Shandong scholars, I think it is more in line with the interests of the imperial court to set Luoyang as the capital, and I suggest that His Royal Highness make Chang'an Xijing."
"Wait for my children and grandchildren to think about this! Luoyang is too dilapidated now, and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to restore its former prosperity, and now the world is poor, and it will take at least twenty or thirty years to recover, and I don't want to spend my wealth on building a new capital. β
Speaking of this, Yang Yuanqing changed the topic and said with a smile: "Let's talk about your business, how sure are you this time?" β
Yang Shidao was ordered to go south to Xiangyang this time to persuade his brother Yang Gongren to surrender, he muttered and said: "To be honest, my eldest brother is more stubborn, and he values reputation very much, if the Tang Dynasty is now destroyed, it is easy to persuade him to surrender, but now that the Tang Dynasty has not been destroyed, I am afraid it is a little difficult to persuade him to surrender, I can only have fifty percent certainty." β
Yang Yuanqing nodded, this was actually what he expected, he pondered for a moment and said: "You tell my brother, if he is willing to surrender, I can make him the head of the household department, actually manage the household department, and seal the Xiangguo Gong, if he is unwilling to surrender, I am not reluctant, I can send him back to Guanzhong, and even allow him to return with 10,000 Guanzhong troops, but in any case, he must hand over Xiangyang City." β
"Wechen understands, he will do his best!"
