Luoyang.

Imperial City Study.

Yang Jian, the Son of Heaven, wore a simple white dragon robe and a hat. Because of the constant smile, the wrinkles on the face seem to be much more than usual.

In front of Yang Jian, the son of heaven, is the backer Yang Yunfei. The old prince was dressed in military uniform, and he still looked heroic.

After the army returned to the court, the Son of Heaven Yang Jian summoned the old prince to come to the imperial study alone to talk.

Giving the seat, the Son of Heaven couldn't help but sigh and said, "Brother Wang has worked hard! The north and the south have been fighting for decades! You and my brother...... The last time we saw each other, it was more than a year ago! ”

The old prince got up, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "This time I got what I wanted, I don't have to work hard in the future, right?" ”

Yang Jian was stunned, shook his head slightly, and a sad expression flashed between his eyebrows.

The old prince didn't see it, he sat upright, completely silent.

After the people around him gave him tea, Yang Jian, the son of heaven, finally opened the conversation and said, "Brother Wang, can you know me...... Why did you agree to Luo Yi's kingship? ”

The old prince thought for a while and gave a very official answer: "The empire has been fighting with the Liang State and the Yan State for many years, especially in recent years, and the fighting has been fierce, and the foundation has long been turbulent. At this time, the two countries were newly destroyed, and the people's hearts were unstable. And the Northern Yan is different from the Southern Liang, the Southern Liang people are lost, the Great Sui soldiers and horses pass through the road to meet each other, and the hussar general is stationed in the Southern Liang, nothing more than to clean up some scabies and minor diseases. Beiyan's hearts are not lost, and they will never be like Nanliang. Fear of chaos is frequent. Luo Ziyan is the Optimus Prime Stone in the north, and he is the desire of the people. The empire will then be able to stop fighting and fix the broken mountains and rivers. It's better than rejuvenating the teachers and moving the people, working the people and losing money! ”

When he said it, I was afraid that the old prince himself didn't believe it much!

What were the conditions that Luo Yi proposed at the beginning? First, the king, and second, listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement. Three, kill Wu Fan. In the eyes of the old prince, there is nothing that can be promised. So. He ruled the last two. The former could not be the master, so it was reported to the imperial court. never thought that Yang Jian, the son of heaven, would actually agree to this. also named Luo Yi as "the king of Beiping side by side". The fiefdom encompasses the entire Youzhou! So that people know that not long ago, the old prince besieged Luo Yi in Boling, and Luo Yi failed to break the siege with his people several times, cut off his food and grass, and almost starved him to death. The old prince thought that it was already good for the court to give Luo Yi a marquis, plus a general to conquer the north. I never thought of it!

Yang Jian, the Son of Heaven, took a scroll of letterhead from the table without expression. In the hands of the old prince.

The old prince opened it and looked at it, and was furious.

Jianye for three years.

October 26.

It was the day when the general of the guards, Yingwu Hou Han, captured the tiger and once again broke through Yijing, the capital of the Northern Yan Kingdom. The Yongliang Qiang people, together with the Tubo people, and the army of 60,000 people, committed rebellion, attacked Shuzhou in one fell swoop, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil. Shuzhou was originally the territory of Southern Liang, and after being incorporated by the empire, it has not yet been completely received and integrated. And where the hussar general led 100,000 soldiers and horses to sit in the town, in Yangzhou, Jingzhou and other places where the remnants of the Southern Liang were making waves, he ignored Shuzhou under the soldiers of the Qiang people and the Tubo people. Shuzhou is rich, and the Qiang people and the Tubo people have coveted it for a long time, where can they let it go? took advantage of the empire's attack on Beiyan, and sang a big show.

After thinking about it again and again, the old prince frowned and said: "If that's all there is, I'm afraid I won't need to give Luo Yi the king, right?" ”

Yang Jian, the Son of Heaven, nodded, and brought another scroll of letterhead.

Jianye for three years.

October 27.

The day after the Qiang people and the Tubo people were in turmoil, the imperial general who was stationed in Hedong County, Sili Prefecture, was now restless, and the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks, who had been divided for a long time, showed signs of reconciling! The Turks are different from Xianbei, Hulu, Wuhuan, or the already weak Xiongnu and Qiang people, which are the objects of the empire's strict defense, and they are very strong opponents, no worse than the Northern Yan, or even stronger! It is only because in recent years that the Turkic countries have suddenly split and there has been endless infighting, which gave the empire time to clean up the Southern Liang and Northern Yan, otherwise, where would it be so smooth?

The old prince's face was solemn.

Yang Jian, the Son of Heaven, let out a long sigh and said, "When I summoned Brother Wang back, I had already summoned Han Weiqi and asked him to dispatch troops and horses to garrison and annex the state...... On the one hand, I have to guard against the Turks, and on the other hand, I have to watch Luo Yi! Luo Yi, not to mention anything else, has a deep hatred with the Turks, and it is better to keep him than to kill him with a knife. In particular, it will arouse the anger of the people in the Northland and restrain the already stretched troops......"

After thinking about it, the old prince said: "Your Majesty wants me to immediately lead the troops and horses and expel the Tubo people and the Qiang people?" ”

Yang Jian, the Son of Heaven, nodded and said, "If you don't go, who can do it?" ”

The old prince thought about it, shook his head and said, "The matter of martial arts, the exchange of interests...... Those people don't want to see me holding the Imperial soldiers and horses anymore, let the hussar general go! ”

Yang Jian's face was a little gloomy, not that he was dissatisfied with the old prince, but he really felt that those family members were too pressing.

Long.

Yang Jian twisted his eyebrows and said, "What about the south?" What to do? ”

The old prince stroked his beard and said: "The remnants of Nanliang can't make any waves, and they can't use 100,000 troops to clean up, so it won't be successful." Wu Zhao, Wu Huaizhang, tell him to go. He is a native of Nanyang, and he is more familiar with the south, and the southerners have heard of his courage and strategy, and they dare not act rashly. But...... He is too upright, and His Majesty must send the three guards under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Governor's Mansion to help him! ”

Noncommittal, Yang Tianzi's gaze was a little deep, and he asked rhetorically, "Brother Wang has really decided?" ”

The old prince laughed and said, "I have been fighting horses all my life, more than 30 years, and I am tired!" Let me rest and rest! If...... If it's really the empire in trouble and needs me, I naturally won't shirk it. Even if I climb, I have to climb up to the battlefield and bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh! But now that the empire is full of talents, it's time to give young people a chance, isn't it? ”

The free and sincere words of the old prince made Yang Jian, the son of heaven, even more emotional.

The king of the backer is a very special person surnamed Yang of the heavenly family, from the founding of the country to the present, generations of capable people do not say, all of them are the ministers of the humerus. In the past two hundred years, even if there are mountains and rivers such as those of Emperor Xiao, the lineage of the king of the mountain has never given birth to dissent, and he is very loyal. Therefore, the emperors of the past dynasties never doubted the king of the mountain, and they were favored and constantly maintained. Even if such as the current old prince, named General Weicai, actually exercises the power of the general, holds the tiger talisman in his hand, and leads the world's soldiers and horses. That's the case, Yang Tianzi still trusts him, and he never thinks that the burden of the backer is not heavy enough!

One is the Son of Heaven.

One is the prince.

After talking about state affairs, I was not very happy.

And so.

I simply stopped thinking about the bad things and started talking about happy things.

"Today's army is still in the court, the red-faced and long-haired beautiful man is really heroic!" , Yang Tianzi praised again and again: "And the warrior of the Xianbei tribe, Yuwen Chengdu, tsk!" ”

The old prince smiled proudly and said: "There are really a lot of young heroes recently, not to mention Guan Yunchang and Yuwen Chengdu, there are still Zhang Wenyuan, Xiong Kuohai and others, and even Luo Yi's only son, Luo Cheng, are all refreshing characters." If these people can be polished well, within a hundred years, the empire will be as stable as a stone! ”

Yang Tianzi's eyes rolled, and his old face was slightly sly: "Brother Wang and I have sent a message, and everyone in the Northern Expedition can be rewarded, but only the two of them." One is you, the other is ...... Wu Shouzheng, right? How so? He is a big hero who 'passes five levels, kills six generals, rides thousands of miles alone, and escorts the princess', and even the destruction of Beiyan has the greatest credit! Isn't it good to suppress him like this? ”

The old prince snorted and said gloomily: "What a big hero! That kid is a standard scoundrel/rogue/rogue, and he has the same virtue as Nangong Xingyun! The difference is that Nangong Xingyun was born in a wealthy family, he was born in a poor family, and Nangong Xingyun has never been as brave as him! As soon as the words changed, the old prince said: "Your Majesty is still not going to fight him for the time being, anyway, the empire is not short of people now." I've got to take him with me and tune/teach/teach. ”

Yang Tianzi twisted his short beard and sighed: "I know that you are worried that he will be attacked for his prisoners, even if the merit of breaking the country is offset by it." That...... He sent an envoy to Yan State, killed six enemy generals, and brought Xiyue back, how to calculate? This matter is known to the whole world, if you can't give a reward, won't it chill the hearts of the people in the world? You say, don't you? Moreover, when he used to be an eagle guard, he also made a lot of achievements, such as eliminating the Maitreya Sect, cracking the Xingyang granary fire case, etc., all of which are great achievements! ”

The old prince thought about it, but no, if people always make meritorious contributions, and you still don't say anything, then how can you do it? Even if it's a temporary suppression, there has to be a degree!

Thinking about it, the old prince said: "Your Majesty thinks ......"

Yang Tianzi said with a smile: "Let him participate in the martial arts, tell him, if he can win the championship, I will just count the merits and reward him, and seal him...... Isn't he under eighteen years old? Then Champion Hou! ”

"Marquis?"

The old prince's white eyebrows were raised, and he felt that this reward was too heavy.

Yang Tianzi shook his head and said: "Champion Hou is indeed of great significance, but after all, it is a false title, and there is no fief or other, according to his merits, where is it important?" ”

"It's better not to sue him first!" , the old prince grinned and said: "That kid is ruthless, I'm afraid he will do whatever it takes!" ”

After a pause, the old prince groaned slightly, stood up, and after giving a salute, he looked up at Yang Tianzi and said solemnly: "Minister, prepare to accept Wu Shouzheng as an apprentice!" ”

Yang Tianzi nodded, and then, startled, looked at the old prince incredibly.

The old prince saluted again and said, "I beg your majesty to grant permission!" ”

It stands to reason that a minister who accepts apprentices does not need to ask the Son of Heaven in the first place, but the posture of the old prince is extraordinary, and even the previous title has been changed to a minister, which is extremely formal and strict.

Yang Tianzi pondered for a long time and said, "Brother Wang's vision of people is naturally not bad, however, I want to make sure myself!" ”

"Whoa!"

The old prince saluted three times and stood up.

Yang Tianzi said with a smile: "I have already sent someone to invite Xiyue to come, Brother Wang will not leave today!" Have a few more drinks with me! ”

"Great goodness!"

The old prince smiled
