Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the strongest team in the Inner History Province is Pei Ju as the Inner History Order, and the two internal history servants are Xue Daoheng and Yang Yue.

These three people are really a golden match, and they are all talented and well-educated.

Don't think that Yang Yue is not very knowledgeable, Yang Su's achievements in this life, Yang Yue played a very key role behind it.

Among them, Xue Daoheng was very favored by Yang Jian, and in his early years, he was as famous as Lu Sidao and Li Delin, and was one of the three great masters of the Great Sui literary circle.

This person has a very good reputation, except for the emperor, he has not offended anyone, Gao Gong, Yang Su, and Su Wei all respect him.

Lu Sidao and Li Delin are already dead, leaving Xue Daoheng, who has a great influence on the younger generation of students, and there is an endless stream of scholars, which is why he is hated by the emperor.

Now that he has been transferred back to Beijing, Yang Ming guesses that it is very likely that his father is not to reuse the other party, but to find a reason to clean him up.

After all, during the period when Xue Daoheng was released to Panzhou, his achievements in local politics were quite remarkable, and the people were called virtuous, so he couldn't grasp any handle at all.

If you want to protect Xue Daoheng, you can only guarantee it.

The second Yang Jun has done so many stupid things, and now he is fine, so Yang Ming feels that taking the risk to protect Xue Daoheng may be just a small mistake in the eyes of his father.

Of course, the premise is that Xue Daoheng must be restrained.

The next day, the court meeting just ended, and the courtiers began to retreat, only Xue Daoheng sat and did not leave.

Yang Ming beckoned to him, motioned for Xue Daoheng to sit closer, and then asked:

"Is there anything else Xue Sili is up to?"

Xue Daoheng nodded: "The minister didn't close his eyes all night last night, and he kept thinking about His Highness's warning, the minister was puzzled, the minister and His Highness are not familiar with each other, why did His Highness take this risk?" Is it just because of Pei Gong? ”

"If this king says that it is only because of the pity, will Xue Sili believe it?" Yang Ming said with a smile.

Xue Daoheng pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Your Highness reminded the minister of Emperor Gaozu. ”

"Again, don't see anyone recently, you have to close the door to thank guests, the Yushitai must be staring at you," Yang Ming said.

Xue Daoheng frowned and said, "The minister originally intended to visit Gao Gong. ”

"Gao Gong can't even be seen, he can be considered to have escaped for the time being, but you haven't," Yang Ming said in an accentuated tone: "Think about your wife and children." ”

Xue Daoheng nodded: "Chen understands." ”

.......

On the side of the Yushitai, Huang Fenglin had completely surrendered to Yang Ming, so he quietly revealed that the Yushitai had received the holy will to keep an eye on Xue Daoheng, which is why Yang Ming invited Xue Daoheng to sit at the same table last night.

Nominally, like Wei Yunqi, it seems to be a catch, but in fact, he is taking this opportunity to warn the other party.

If you want to protect yourself, you must not only accept Xue Nu as a concubine, but also let the other party conceive his child as soon as possible, so that Xue Daoheng may be able to save this life with the nobility of the emperor and grandson.

It's just that maybe, it depends on how heavy Daddy Yang Guang's murderous intent is.

After half a year, Yang Ming came to Gao Yue's courtyard where he lived alone, and the other party's current state has recovered a lot, the country is ruined, and the death of another younger brother is not a blow that cannot be survived.

Especially Gao Lande was not unjustly killed, he deserved it, and Gao Yue had no complaints about it.

Gao Yue, who saw Yang Ming, was still as gentle as ever, personally cooking tea, adding firewood to the stove, and taking a blanket to spread on the ground, and inviting Yang Ming to sit down.

"Listen to Shuyi, you didn't learn to ride and shoot with them?" Yang Ming asked.

Gao Yue said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the concubine was exposed to riding and shooting when she was a child, and because she fled everywhere in her early years, she didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and she still has a foundation." ”

Between the two, there is no way to improve the morality.

Yang Ming nodded: "That's good." ”

"As a concubine, as His Royal Highness, can she play a song?" Gao Yue said suddenly.

Yang Ming nodded.

Next, Gao Yue came to the edge of the piano table covered with a cover, his ten fingers were like onions, and he began to tune.

"This piano is Zhongni style, from the hands of the old Qi music craftsman Chen Le, the inner combination of five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, the outer combination of five tones: palace, business, horn, sign, feather, is also the best one of the concubines, His Royal Highness should be an expert, but the concubine has a lot to say."

Then, Gao Yue raised his fingers and sighed lightly, still singing a minor tune in his mouth.

Qin music first originated in the Book of Songs, Zhou, Han, Wei and Jin Kingdoms, all belong to the mainstream performance items in the banquet hall, until entering the Great Sui, Yan music song and dance became popular, that is, a form of dance and music collocation.

Yang Ming has seen too much, and he probably knows a rough idea.

Gao Yue's first song is from the Book of Songs, "Zheng Feng and the Female Chicken Song", which describes the relationship between husband and wife, "growing old with the son", which is from this article.

Yang Ming could sense that many people had come over outside the courtyard one after another, and they were all attracted by the sound of the piano.

The next second song is even more famous, or from the Book of Poetry "Zhou Nan Guan Ju", that is, the famous fair lady, a gentleman.

Zhongni style is good at playing poetry, Yang Ming knows, because his wife Yinjiang is also good at Zhongni style, but she has never played it in front of people, because of her background, she is destined not to play musical instruments on any occasion, which is what inferior musicians do.

After a long time, the people outside the hospital slowly dispersed.

Yang Ming could probably hear that Gao Yue was hinting at the sound of the piano, hoping to be favored by Yang Ming.

It's not Yang Ming Versailles, his status is decided, only women stick to him, and he doesn't have the share of women.

"No wonder when you were in Jinyang Tower, the children of the Jing master flocked to it, and you were already the most skilled I have ever seen," Yang Ming got up lazily and said with a smile: "Come back another day, and change the tune when the time comes." ”

After saying that, Yang Ming got up and left, and Gao Yue looked down at the qin, stunned.

Three years of great cause, at the end of the year.

Zhangye's side sent a treasure, yes, Yang Ming is willing to call it a treasure.

It is the "Atlas of the Western Regions" compiled by Pei Ju himself.

It contains the mountains and rivers, surnames, terroirs, uniforms, products and other materials of the 44 countries, which are compiled into books and maps, which are tantamount to priceless treasures for the Western Regions of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Historically, the Great Sui Dynasty destroyed Tuguhun and launched a large-scale war after Yang Guang toured Zhangye, and it was the emperor's personal conquest.

But right now, the time has come to go to Tuguhun, because Yang Ming postponed the construction of Tokyo, resulting in Yang Guang still in Jiangdu, patrolling Zhangye, I'm afraid it will be a year later.

And right now, whether it is the Eastern and Western Turks, or other small countries in the Western Regions, they are condemning Tuguhun for frequently invading the Great Sui border.

As a vassal state that claimed to be a vassal to the Great Sui, it was definitely inappropriate for Tuguhun to do this, so Tuguhun Khan Murong Fuyun declared to the outside world that it was the internal strife of the tribe, and some tribal leaders did not listen to him, so he did such a thing.

So Pei Ju came directly, Da Sui sent troops to help you calm down the civil strife, Murong Fuyun hurriedly said No, no, I can solve it myself.

There was only one copy of the "Atlas of the Western Regions", which was to be presented to the emperor, so Yang Ming immediately copied all the subordinate officials of the royal palace.

Copying was not an easy task, and it took five days and five nights of fighting overnight to complete the copying, and then Yang Ming transferred 1,000 people from the military government to be responsible for sending the "Map of the Western Regions" to Jiangdu.

In his letter to Yang Ming, Pei Ju made it very clear that now is the best time to attack Tuguhun, and Tiele has begun to reorganize the army and is ready to help.

And Pei Ju also gave this meaning to the emperor in the form of a song, that is to say, after Yang Guang received the song, it is likely that he will immediately start arranging the matter of attacking Tuguhun.

Then the candidate for the coach is already about to come out, and it must be Yang Ming.

But as soon as Yang Ming leaves, who will be the garrison of the Beijing Division? It's a difficult thing to do.

Yang Xiong is definitely not suitable, although it is a clan, Yang Guang does not have full trust in him.

Before Yang Guang arranged, Yang Ming could actually start arranging.

According to Pei Ju's estimate, 100,000 troops are enough, so Yang Ming will divide 100,000 soldiers into nine branches, he himself commands 20,000 Chinese troops, and the remaining general 10,000.

At today's court meeting, all the senior generals of the military government who remained in Beijing were summoned.

"Your Highness seems to have decided that Your Majesty intends to use troops next year?" Right General Li Hun said curiously.

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Then what do you think Pei Ju went to Zhangye for?" ”

"No, no," Li Hun hurriedly said with a smile: "The minister knows that His Majesty intends to pass through the Western Regions, but at the moment, the troops in Guanzhong are not very sufficient, and 100,000 troops are transferred at once, and I am afraid that the defense of the Beijing division is empty." ”

Shi Wansui sneered: "You are still a great general, how can Your Highness only recruit in Guanzhong?" Doesn't His Highness know that the defense of the capital division is important? ”

Li Hun touched the two moldy heads in a row, shook his head and stopped talking.

Yang Ming looked at everyone at this time: "Be prepared, we can first formulate the detailed steps of conscription, and when Your Majesty's will arrives, everyone will know in their hearts." ”

Shi Wansui nodded and said: "Your Majesty's will, how can it take a month and a half, now it is already the end of the year, the best time to send troops is in April, we don't prepare early, and when Your Majesty's will arrives, we will deal with it in a hurry, I am afraid that the best time to send troops will be delayed." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded one after another.

As soon as April passes, new grass grows, and Tuguhun's war horses can be fed, and they can eat wherever they want, so they don't have to worry about the supply of forage.

The main force of the Sui army is infantry, which needs a long logistical supply line, and Zhangye is very desolate, and it cannot supply the grain and grass supply of the 100,000 army at all, so it has to be transferred from Guanzhong, and Guanzhong has to be transferred from Luoyang, which is a very time-consuming thing.

The 5,000 people led away by the wheat iron rod have almost eaten up a Taozhou, and Taozhou has now been renamed Lintao County.

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first, and the requisition of grain and the requisition of guards must start simultaneously.

So Yang Ming first wrote a letter to the second child, asking him to allocate 250,000 stone grain from Liyang Cang and Xingluo Cang, and when his father's will arrived, he would immediately escort Jingshi.

Of course, Yang Ming won't expect too much from the second child, this bastard dares to drag him back in everything.

Therefore, the Guangtong warehouse located in Guanzhong, as well as the Heyang warehouse in the southeast of the river, will also prepare early.

The five thousand elite cavalry under the command of Xiao Maha finally came into play.
