Chapter 131: Unexpected
After Li Yuan gave two thousand war horses, Yang Guang asked him what he wanted to save.
Li Yuan's face showed sadness, and he kowtowed,
"When Wei Chen returned to Hedong this time, he was very sad to see his wife's coffin. I didn't expect that I couldn't see the last time I saw her when she left, which is a pity in my life."
"I also suddenly felt that I was getting old, and maybe I would have to go with my wife one day. A few days ago, I was sick and in bed, and Wei Chen wondered if he could get past this hurdle."
Yang Guang saw that Li Yuan said sadly, and was deeply moved by his words, seeing that the brother who grew up with him was so pessimistic, he couldn't bear him to continue to be decadent, so he slowly comforted,
"Brother Cong doesn't need to be so discouraged, aren't you completely recovered now? Now that my sister-in-law has passed away, don't dwell on it anymore and keep it in your heart all the time."
"You need to lift your spirits now and raise a few children to be adults, so that you can be worthy of your deceased sister-in-law."
------
Speaking of a few children, Li Yuan was even more sad, Li Xuanba's death was now the biggest pain in his heart.
"Your Majesty doesn't know, what Wechen is most worried about is these sons. Less than two years after Madame left, Xuanba died young, which is regrettable to think about."
"The remaining three sons, Yuanji is still young, and although he has a family, he has not started a business."
"As the son of the family, he will be able to inherit the throne of the prince by His Majesty's grace in the future, but now he has not served the imperial court in five out of twenty. Shimin and Yuanji are now white.
"What Weichen is afraid of is that once there is an accident in the sky and he leaves, the three sons may not achieve anything, and the Tang State Mansion will fall from then on. Wechen is sorry for the ancestors, and the second is sorry for the lady who left me first."
------
Yang Guang looked at Li Yuan, quietly listened to him talk about the situation of his four sons, and felt that what he said was all the truth. Thinking about it, Li Yuan really hasn't made excessive demands on himself over the years. Thinking about how fast time flies, it turns out that the cute little nephew Li Jiancheng is already twenty-five years old.
Yang Guang thought about himself again, at the age of thirteen, he was named the king of Jin, the official worshiped the Zhu State, the governor of the state, and led the three armies to destroy the Chen State at the age of twenty. When Li Jiancheng reaches this age, it is time to be crowned an official and a half-post, so that he can serve the country.
------
After talking about the situation of his four sons, Li Yuan kowtowed to Yang Guang with tears in his eyes,
"Don't blame Weichen for Your Majesty, for the sake of your aunt and the affection of your blood relatives, you can agree to Weichen's request."
Yang Guang saw that he said sincerely, and nodded in agreement, "I won't blame you, please say something from my brother."
Li Yuan once again supported the case and kowtowed, "Yuanji is young and doesn't say it for the time being, Weichen dares to ask that he can let Jiancheng and the people of the world serve the imperial court."
Yang Guang thought about it and said to Li Yuan,
"At this age, it's time to serve the imperial court. I became a thousand cattle and prepared for feudalism, and the people of the world were military guards. What do you think, brother?"
------
According to the practice of the Sui Dynasty, the prince of the state could have a son-in-law who was the sixth rank of the official position, and the other sons could enter the official position through military merit or imperial examination. When Li Yuan became an official, he started from the six-grade Qianniu preparation.
Since it is a common practice, of course, an exception can be made, as long as the emperor opens his mouth and gives permission, it is not impossible to make an exception.
This is equivalent to saying that Yang Guang made an exception to seal Li Shimin the post of a seven-rank military guard, and Li Jiancheng still followed the practice of the imperial court and enshrined the six-grade Qianniu to prepare himself.
------
When Li Yuan heard that Yang Guang wanted to enshrine Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, he hurriedly stood up from the low couch, looked grateful, walked to the middle hall and knelt on the ground to kowtow and thank him.
After thanking, he sat back down on the low couch.
After Li Yuan returned to sit on the low couch, Yang Guang asked Li Yuan again,
"Do you have any other requests?"
Li Yuan kowtowed,
"Your Majesty has kindly granted the official positions of Jiancheng and Shimin, and Weichen is satisfied, and there is nothing else to ask for."
------
Li Yuan's answer once again surprised Yang Guang.
He couldn't understand in his heart, could it be that Li Yuan offered two thousand horses just to ask for a seven-rank martial guard position for Li Shimin?
Moreover, for the son-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, it is not difficult to obtain a seven-rank martial guard. As long as you have a little military merit in the army, you can ask the court to entitle you, why do you need to exchange two thousand horses? Such an investment is too disproportionate to the return.
Could it be that Li Yuan is really out of loyalty, in order to repay Queen Dugu's love?
Yang Guang decided not to draw conclusions first, but to observe for a while. Let's see if Li Yuan will make other requests in the future.
If he doesn't make other requests for this matter in the future, it really shows that Li Yuan really has no other intentions for sacrificing horses, and is really out of loyalty.
------
Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Guanyin have studied it in advance, what will Yang Guang think in his heart at this time.
Guanyin thought that Li Yuan must not ask for an official for himself, let alone mention the matter of obtaining future power. Otherwise, not only will he not achieve his goal, but it will arouse Yang Guang's suspicion and vigilance, which will be self-defeating.
is only to ask for the seal for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, in order to arouse Yang Guang's illusion, to make Yang Guang mistakenly think that Li Yuan really thinks that he is old and is arranging his own funeral.
Yang Guanghui thought that Li Yuan had lost his ambition and pinned all his hopes on the next generation. In this way, Yang Guang was defenseless against Li Yuan.
After this incident passed, Yang Guang would observe Li Yuan's true purpose of sacrificing horses to see if he had other plans. The more Li Yuan had no other requirements, the more Yang Guanghui would take this matter to heart. The more time passed, the more he felt that Li Yuan was loyal. In the future, Li Yuan will be reused more and more. This is the method of "internal squeezing" mentioned in "Guiguzi".
-----
sang praises to Yang Guang and recounted family affection.
He offered military horses and asked for official positions for his two sons.
The relationship between Li Yuan and Yang Guang has deepened again, and they have spoken to each other more heart-to-heart.
Li Yuan showed a look of concern, and tentatively led the topic to the government.
"When Wechen first came to see His Majesty, he saw that His Majesty had a worried look on his face, and Wechen didn't dare to ask more questions for fear of causing His Majesty's heart to be unhappy. If Your Majesty believes Wechen, can you tell Wechen to hear it? Wei Chen may be able to share His Majesty's worries."
The emperor is also a human being, and when he has troubles, he also wants to find someone to talk to. Yang Guangzheng was sullen about the Turkic matter, and when he saw Li Yuan asking, he had the opportunity to vent the stuffiness in his chest.
"My brother ought to know what I am anxious about. It was all because of Pei Ju's improper handling, which annoyed Shibi Khan, resulting in today's passive situation."
"Recently, the Turks have been making repeated incidents in Beisai, and recently Princess Yicheng has heard the news that Bi Khan will no longer come to Chang'an for Hajj at the beginning of this year's New Year's Day."
------
Li Yuan had known about this for a long time, in fact, he came to see Yang Guang today because of this matter. In his mind, he had already thought of a way to deal with it.
Li Yuan pretended to bow his head and thought for a while, then raised his head, looked at Yang Guangyan and said earnestly,
"Guanzhong and Shanxi are the foundation of my Great Sui, as long as these two places are peaceful, we can ensure the stability of my Great Sui."
"Now there is nothing going on in Guanzhong, but there are frequent warning messages from Shanxi, there are Wei Dao'er rebellion in the south, and Turkic changes in the north. Ensuring the appeasement of Shanxi is a top priority for the imperial court."
"Weichen thinks that to deal with the Turks, we should fight and pull together. To deal with thieves, you should send your cronies and ministers to lead the troops to exterminate them."
------
Li Yuan's words just spoke to Yang Guang's heart, and he was suffering from the affairs of Shanxi and the Turks.
When Li Yuan came, he was worried about this matter, so Yang Guang also wanted to hear what Li Yuan had to say.
But Yang Guang thought very highly of himself, he didn't want to show a helpless appearance in front of Li Yuan, and said to Li Yuan,
"Now that the matter in Liaodong is over, I have already thought about inspecting Saibei next year and making every effort to deal with the matter in Shanxi. When the time comes, I will definitely bring my brother with me to give me advice."
Li Yuan took the opportunity to compliment Yang Guang,
"Your Majesty is wise and martial, how can you need a humble opinion? General Changsun left behind five volumes of the Northern Saiza Chronicles, and he had foreseen the Turkic affairs."
------
Yang Guang heard Li Yuan mention Changsun Sheng, and couldn't help but be in good spirits.
Changsun Sheng was a hero who pacified the Turks, and his strategy of razing and attacking the strong and helping the weak had a miraculous effect on the annexation of the Turks.
Yang Guang admired Changsun Sheng very much, and now he heard that he had left behind the "Records of the Northern Saiza", and had foresight of the events of the Turks today, which aroused his great interest.
He asked Li Yuan strangely,
"Where did you see the "Northern Saiza" left by General Changsun? What was his opinion on Turkic matters in his notes?"
Li Yuan smiled and said to Yang the crime of advertising,
"Please forgive Your Majesty the sin of not telling Wechen, the youngest daughter of General Changsun is the son of Wechen, married to the people of the dog."
Yang Guang seemed to really don't know about the marriage between the two families, and sighed with a smile,
"I really didn't expect that my brother was actually the in-law of General Changsun."
------
Li Yuan saw that Yang Guang was interested in "The Chronicles of the Northern Sai", so he introduced the ins and outs of it to him.
"Back then, Weichen admired General Changsun's civil and military skills, unparalleled in the world of archery, and was well versed in the art of war and strategy, and once sent the people of the world to learn archery and the art of war from him."
"General Changsun did not hesitate to give advice, gave him all his money, and promised his young daughter to be married to the people, and also gave away the five volumes of the "Records of the Northern Saiza" written by himself."
Yang Guang praised, "It's really a godsend."
------
Then Yang Guang asked, "How did General Changsun foresee the Turkic affairs?"
Li Yuan relayed to Yang Guang that Changsun Sheng said in the "Northern Saiza Chronicle",
"General Changsun predicted in the "Northern Saiza" that the population of Qiming Khan would increase year by year after the Turkic tribes were settled in the city."
"Since further north is a bitter cold land, winter is not conducive to survival, and the subordinates are reluctant to move elsewhere, and the Turkic forces will gather at the moraine."
"But if there is little land and many people, the subordinate departments will compete with each other for profit, and there will be infighting. When the Turkic khans were difficult to restrain them, there would be tribes who would not obey the orders and attack the borders of the Great Sui. The Turkic khans, in order to prevent internal divisions, will tolerate those who do not obey orders."
------
Yang Guang couldn't help but marvel after hearing this,
"General Changsun is really a man of God, and a few years after his death, the situation in the Turks is now the same as he said."
"So, did he mention a countermeasure in the Chronicle of the Northern Seza?"
Li Yuan nodded and continued, "General Changsun does have a way to deal with it."
Yang Guang forgot to maintain the majesty of the emperor, and hurriedly urged, "Tell me about it."
------
Seeing that Yang Guang was anxious, Li Yuan was secretly happy in his heart.
At this time, Yang Guang was going according to the ideas he had agreed with Li Shimin and Guanyin, and he was about to involve military power, and talked about the key topic of Li Yuan's meeting with Yang Guang this time.
