"Do you think for yourself? What does Your Majesty mean by this? Liang Bi frowned.

In the room, Yang Xiong and the other three sat down to see what these four words in the emperor's will meant.

Yang Xiong looked at Yang Wang and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Yang Wang pondered for a moment and replied: "Two days ago, King Qi was transferred back to Beijing, Your Majesty's meaning may be that his old man will handle this matter by himself, and we can give an explanation here." ”

"Yang Zhuguo should have figured it out right this time," Yang Xiong nodded and smiled: "The King of Qi as the main lord is gone, how can I investigate this matter?" So Yang Zhuguo is right, this eucalyptus should end here. ”

Liang Bi frowned and was silent, in his opinion, in this eucalyptus, it is not clear who ambushed the King of Qi's subordinates, but the King of Qi must have the intention of framing the King of Qin, and now His Majesty has transferred the King of Qi back, most of them are asking for guilt.

Since His Majesty has asked for the guilt, then there is no need for the three of them to pursue it further.

So he said, "Then how should we explain to Your Majesty?" ”

"This is simple," Yang Xiong said with a smile: "Just find some grass bandits in Yuzhou, kill the head, and say that it is these people who attacked and killed King Qi's convoy, Your Majesty just wants a result, not the truth." ”

"Maybe Your Majesty already knows the truth, but it is us who doesn't know," Yang said.

Yang Xiong nodded and said, "What do you two think?" ”

"Listen to the king,"

"Just do as you say,"

The two responded at the same time.

.......

Without Yang Jun's constraints, Luoyang Construction is going to speed up the process, and Yang Ming has no reason to delay it any longer.

At present, the highest level in Yuzhou is Yang Ming, and whatever he says is what he says.

So he instructed the yamen of all ministries to go down to take over the mess left by Yang Jun and transfer the grain to Luoyang as soon as possible.

After more than two months of delay, many projects went wrong, and although the people couldn't eat enough every day, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After discussing with Yu Wenkai, Yang Su and Yu Wenkai came to the conclusion that even if there would be no problems in the future, the construction period in Tokyo would be delayed for at least six months, that is, in September next year, Luoyang would be completed.

Yang Ming liked this answer very much.

There are more than 30 varieties of peonies from all over the country, but now it is close to September, and the survival rate is not optimistic about transplanting at this time.

Yu Wenkai has not had a smiling face these days, peony is the signature decoration of the entire Xiyuan, this year's planting is not good, next year will not bloom, when His Majesty is in person, how can he explain?

The Imperial City Ziwei Palace is the top priority, the materials transported from the south have been ready, these wood must be used as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a very troublesome thing to drag it out to winter, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not crack after freezing, and the weather is cold, the wood will shrink, if it is built in winter, the weather will be warm in the coming year, the pillars and beams will inevitably expand, and when the time comes, the whole palace will be wasted.

Therefore, all the wooden structures of the palace had to be completed before winter.

In this way, Yu Wenkai needs to requisition a large number of people to concentrate on the construction of the imperial city, and if there is something wrong in other places, it will not hurt, and there must be no problems in this place.

Many of Guocheng's civil forces have been transferred away by Yu Wenkai, so that the speed of Guocheng's construction has slowed down, and Yu Wenkai means that he hopes that Yang Ming will requisition another 100,000 people from Henan.

But Yang Ming dismissed him with a word: Now it's Mai Qiu, everyone is requisitioned, and the grain is still not harvested?

Luoyang is basically stable at the moment, Yang Ming is not a professional, so the number of times he goes to the construction site is less.

On this day, he sent someone to find Yun Dingxing, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, that is, Yun Zhaoxun's father.

"I heard that Yun Shaoqing has a few private kilns in Guanzhong?" Yang Ming very politely invited the other party to sit down and asked with a smile.

Yun Dingxing was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Go back to Your Highness, I ......."

"It's okay, I'm just asking, and I'm not blaming you," Yang Ming pointed to the tea on the other party's long table: "Drink tea." ”

In the Great Sui, smelting is under the control of the state, that is, the Taifu Temple among the eleven temples, and the mine smelting kilns all over the country are officialdom official kilns.

But Yun Dingxing's ancestor is a professional and technical personnel, and he was Yang Yong's father-in-law back then, so he opened a few smelting kilns privately, although it was illegal, but no one cared about it.

Because many princes and princes bought it from Yun Dingxing, Yang Yong's first armor in the world was built by Yun Dingxing.

The 5,000 men under Xiao Maha have now returned to Hedong County after helping Li Jing fight a few tough battles, but the loss of ordnance is huge and needs to be replenished.

Yang Ming's song is excessive, so it can't be reported to Taifu Temple for them to dial it again.

Then he could only buy it with his own money, this is the purpose of his coming to Yun Dingxing today, and Yun Dingxing can make a comeback because of his excellent professional skills.

"On my side, I want two thousand pairs of cavalry armor, as well as a thousand pairs of horseshoe, horse lance, and Mo knife...... and all of them shall be mixed with iron. ”

The list number reported by Yang Ming, Yun Dingxing was dumbfounded, but it can be regarded as a relief, as long as people do not investigate him for opening a kiln privately, then it is easy to say anything.

"Your Majesty's refining kiln can't do so much, is Your Highness in urgent need of it?" Smart people will not ask Yang Ming what he is for.

But Yang Ming took the initiative to say: "It's not a hurry, it's just that I want to prepare some ordnance for the guards of the palace, how long will it take for Yun Shaoqing to build it?" ”

Yun Dingxing thought for a while: "Your Highness's number, judging from the ability of your subordinates, it will take at least two years, don't hide it from Your Highness, I have always had nobles order here, although it must be the first to follow His Highness, but others, I can't push it." ”

"This can be understood," Yang Ming said with a smile: "You just have to do it, and when it is done, it will be sent to the Hedong Palace, and then go to the princess to get the money, as much as it should be." ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, I only take a cost here, and I don't dare to overcharge you for any extra money," Yun Dingxing said.

Yang Ming nodded: "This matter, if someone else asks about it in the future, you don't have to say it, if Your Majesty and the prince ask, you can't hide it, understand?" ”

Buying ordnance privately, and the amount is huge, it will definitely not see the light, so this kind of thing, Yang Ming does not dare to hide it from his father and eldest brother, and there is no need for others to know.

"This minister knows that the minister here will definitely not leak out, unless His Majesty and the prince ask," Yun Dingxing said.

To do business, of course, you must learn to keep secrets for customers, in fact, even if Yang Ming asks him, who has orders from him, Yun Dingxing will not say.

Yang Ming asked curiously: "Can my uncle still make the Shu armor back then?" ”

"No," Yun Dingxing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Shu craftsmen who are responsible for creating this Baokai have all passed away, although the minister understands the craft, but he still can't make it, this thing has been tempered and forged for thousands of years, it has lasted fifteen years, and the minister has a lifetime, don't want to make a second piece." ”

Forget it....... Yang Ming said: "In this case, Yun Shaoqing is busy with official business." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty will retire," Yun Dingxing bowed his hand and left.

On the Jingshi side, the princess Yang Yinjiang sent a letter, and the Xiangyang Navy was about to run out of money, and Xiangyang was too guarded by Du Zha, and reported to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, wanting to ask for another payment, but Wei Chong did not agree.

This is to look at the people and do things, Yang Ming was able to ask for money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs back then, but Du Zha couldn't.

In Wei Chong's view, the Xiangyang Navy has little effect, and with the current scale, it can definitely deal with the Yangtze River bandits, so the Ministry of Civil Affairs has to stop the loss in this area, and can no longer allocate money, and the money has been taken away by Luoyang.

Yang Yinjiang meant that from the account of the palace, he would first take out 200,000 yuan to ensure the construction of the Xiangyang Naval Army, and then find a way to raise money in the future.

This is called virtuous internal help, 200,000 yuan, and flowers are spent, because Yang Yinjiang knows in her heart that the Xiangyang Navy is her husband's effort, although it is really useless at the moment, like a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.

In addition, Yang Yinjiang also mentioned one thing, she hoped that Pei Shuying could come to Luoyang, as for the reason, of course, it was because Pei Shuying did not have Yang Ming's heirs.

Yang Ming agreed.

These days, he has been busy with official business, so some time ago Chen Shuyi and her mother Shen Wuhua left Luoyang, and he didn't have time to send it.

After arriving in Luoyang, Chen Shuyi met with her mother and went to Bishan to pay tribute to her biological father Chen Shubao.

Yang Ming can't go, because Chen Shubao is not qualified to let him pay tribute, and Chen Shuyi is not a princess, nor a side concubine, so it is not appropriate for Yang Ming to go.

If Dad knew that he was going to pay tribute to Chen Shubao, he would scold him at least and have a few big ears scrapers.

Now that the rebellion in Shandong has finally stopped, Li Jing will go to Jinyang, and after meeting with Shi Wansui, Changsun Cheng and others, he will return to Beijing to receive merit.

Yang Ming's side had already greeted Shi Wansui early, asking him to fight for Li Jing more, and at the same time, he also wrote a letter to the crown prince Yang Zhao, hoping to keep Li Jing in Beijing.

Because there will be no major wars in the short period of time in the Great Sui, and the national strength will mainly be concentrated on the project, Li Jing stayed in Beijing to help Yang Ming find out some news that Yang Yinjiang could not detect.

Chen Shuyi returned to Beijing by land, and she was reluctant to leave Yang Ming, but her mother needed to be appeased, so after returning to Beijing, she would live in her mother's house for a while.

She is the daughter of Chen Shubao and has to keep filial piety for three years.

And Yang Hui, the king of Qi, also returned to Beijing by land, he left Luoyang a few days later than Chen Shuyi, but the speed of the road was much faster, so in Huayin County, the two convoys met.

This place is already very close to Jingshi, Yang Xuan didn't care about it after learning that it was Chen Shubao's convoy with Shen Wuhua, but when he knew that Chen Shuyi was also there, a thought rose in his heart.

】

In fact, since he saw Chen Shuyi for the first time, Yang Yun was shocked, but at that time, the brothers were harmonious, so he naturally would not ask Yang Ming for it.

But now, it's different.
