Chapter 633: Temptation

Wang Shichong must also have an inside line in the Great Sui.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he can know about his marriage to Lin Yan'er, after all, this news has been widely circulated in Jiangdu half a month ago.

What really surprised Yang Guang was that he didn't expect Wang Shichong to dare to send someone to send a congratulatory gift.

What does he do as a gift?

That's something to be fun with.

Yang Guang took the secret letter and checked it, and found that the record on it turned out to be a list of congratulatory gifts. Judging from the list, Wang Shichong can be said to have made a bloody investment this time, cherishing countless gifts, more than thirty kinds of items, roughly calculated, the total value is probably more than one million taels of silver.

Previously, Xue Yan asked him for a million taels of silver, and relied on this silver to save the people of a village.

From this, it can be seen how much this congratulatory gift of one million taels of silver is worth.

"Your Majesty, are you going to refuse it, or what?" Gonggong Yang asked cautiously: "There is also the person sent by Wang Shichong to deliver the congratulatory gift, who is waiting outside the palace at the moment." ”

"Send him away, this Wang Shichong's person, I have nothing to see." Yang Guang didn't have a good impression of Wang Shichong, in his eyes, he was an ant, and naturally he didn't have any interest in the people he sent.

"Did you put it? Do you want to catch it, lock it up first? Yang Gonggong asked.

"The two armies are at war, and they don't come to fight. This sentence is not only applicable on the battlefield, but also in the Great Sui. Yang Guang said: "Besides, killing him will not do him any benefit except for being pointed at his nose and scolded for a few words." ”

"Well, I'm going to accept this congratulatory gift. The people who can't let Wang Shichong run for nothing. ”

The corners of Yang Guang's mouth lifted a trace of arc.

Although there is no shortage of silver in the treasury of the Great Sui now, it is one million taels of silver after all! After receiving this money, he can do a lot of things, and it is impossible for him to pretend to be generous and return the gift.

"Well, the old slave understands." Father-in-law Yang agreed to come down and deal with this matter.

However, this is a rather strange scene, it is impossible for no one to pay attention to it completely, on the field, many courtiers noticed this scene and whispered, and then, Hubu Shangshu asked: "Your Majesty, is there an accident?" ”

When the others saw that there was a leader, they immediately put down their chopsticks and looked at Yang Guang.

Yang Guang said indifferently: "Oh, it's not a big deal, it's just that Wang Shichong sent someone to send some congratulatory gifts, almost a million taels of silver, I have ordered someone to accept it." ”

"A million taels?" Hubu Shangshu suddenly smiled, according to the rules, these silver will eventually be put into the treasury, in other words, he needs to be at his disposal.

Under such circumstances, there was suddenly an extra gift of more than one million taels of silver, could he not be happy?

It's just that he thinks so, but others don't.

Their minds were not on the congratulatory gift, but on Wang Shichong's attitude.

Pei Ju frowned and said: "Your Majesty's congratulatory gift, it stands to reason that Wang Shichong has no reaction at all, he is a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, what kind of heart does he have?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Pei Yun analyzed: "Could it be that this is a gesture of goodwill to Your Majesty?" ”

Yang Guang raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?" ”

Pei Yun said generously: "Datang's side has made it clear that it will not interfere in the affairs between us and Luoyang, so if this is the case, then our attack on Luoyang and the recovery of Luoyang is naturally a matter that will be put on the agenda sooner or later." ”

"And Wang Shichong is a person who is as timid as a mouse, even if he is far away in Luoyang, he will definitely be worried that we will suddenly send troops to him, so he released such a signal to us."

Yang Guang said disdainfully: "Well, you're right, I thought so just now. But then again, what about his overtures? Could it be that if you show goodwill, you can resolve the grievances with me? Luoyang is a thorn in my eye and a thorn in my flesh, no matter what, I will definitely recover it. ”

"Only by recovering Luoyang can my heart settle down."

"That's right, what Your Majesty said is very true, that Wang Shichong is indeed a little whimsical." Pei Yun first slapped Yang Guang on the back, and then continued: "It's just that, in the minister's opinion, since he chose to show favor to our Great Sui, why can't we pretend to agree on the surface first, and then put forward conditions to him?" ”

"Oh? What conditions do you want to make? Yang Guang looked at him.

At the wedding banquet, he suddenly began to talk about national affairs.

Cheng Yanjin's "eating and broadcasting" continued, but the ministers' minds were no longer on food, and they all pricked up their ears and participated in the discussion of the Luoyang matter.

Pei Yun said: "What specific conditions to talk about, the minister has not yet thought about it, but in the case of his weakness, after all, we have the initiative and have the initiative, which means that everything can be discussed." ”

"For example, we can take the opportunity to make a request and ask him to hand over Luoyang, or, give supplies, give people, or even pay tribute to us directly!"

I have to say that Pei Yun's words are indeed extremely reasonable.

When many people on the field heard this, they immediately applauded and expressed their support.

Although Yang Guang did not express his position at the first time, he was actually very moved in his heart.

Luoyang can be regarded as a treasure of feng shui, otherwise, how could Wang Shichong, who is backed by Luoyang, climb to this height?

If Yang Guang was determined to attack Luoyang, firstly, it would take a long time to prepare, and secondly, it would take about two months to send a large army to Luoyang.

Plus there is also a siege of the city......

Roughly calculated, even if Luoyang can be won in the end, it will be at least half a year later.

But if you can seize this opportunity and encroach on Wang Shichong, then after a long time, Luoyang will not become an empty shelf with no foundation? At that time, without much troops, Luoyang could be recovered simply and quickly.

The temptation brought to Yang Guang by this incident is not insignificant.

Of course, the reason why he is so excited about Pei Yun is mainly because of Li Shimin.

The news from Li Shimin must be a fake news, there is no doubt about this, Yang Guang has long seen it thoroughly, if he really wants to attack Luoyang, Li Shimin will inevitably make a hindrance from it, and in the end, Luoyang can't be defeated, and the Great Sui side may have to suffer some losses.

In this way, it is clear how the matter should be handled.

"Your Majesty, do you think there is some truth in the minister's words?" At this time, seeing that Yang Guang had not expressed his position for a long time, Pei Yun simply asked again.

Yang Guang bowed his head and opened his mouth to say: "Well, what Aiqing said, you can indeed try it." ”
