When Yang Guang toured the north, Pei Ju set out from Zhangye County and waited for the emperor in Yulin County.

At that time, he was accompanied by a foreign mission, Gao Changguo.

Gaochang is the closest country to the Great Sui among the countries of the Western Regions, located in the south of the Tiele Xue Yantuo Department, the east of the Western Turkic royal court, and the Dunhuang County of the Great Sui, only separated by a Yin Wu city, or Yin Wu State.

Yin Wu is a very small country, Hu and Han live together, sometimes dependent on the Western Turks, sometimes dependent on Xue Yantuo, but especially not attached to the Great Sui.

This is determined by the living environment, and the threat to them from the Great Sui is far less direct than that from the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo.

Pei Ju is very scheming, he took the envoys of Gaochangguo to follow Yang Guang's northern patrol team all the way, so that the other party can see how majestic the military might of our Great Sui is, and the 500,000 elite army rushed to the Eastern Turks, such a scene left a deep imprint in the hearts of the envoys of Gaochangguo.

The Great Sui is too awesome, the Great Sui Emperor is even more awesome, and the Great Khan of the Eastern Turkic Qimin is groveling to the Great Sui Emperor, so is there a better choice for Gao Changguo than to attach himself to the Great Sui?

So the envoy of Gaochang left from the Eastern Turkic royal court and returned to Gaochang, and half a year later, the king of Gaochang came in person with a delegation.

He has now lived in a place specially used to receive foreign guests in Daxing City.

Gaochang is a big place, about the same size as two or three counties of Dasui, Yang Ming didn't take the other party in his eyes, but Pei Ju said in a letter to him that he was already persuading the emperor to use troops against Yin Wuguo, so he wanted to temporarily appease King Gaochang.

Wait until Yin Wu is destroyed, and then clean up Gaochang.

Since the Qin Dynasty, in terms of oppression of foreign races, the Great Sui has done the best so far, all the Eastern and Western Turks have surrendered, and the countries of the Western Regions are well-behaved and sensible, that is, a Goguryeo often emerges, which is why Yang Guang is eyeing Goguryeo.

Yang Ming simply invited the delegation of King Gaochang to Jinyang Tower, where they ate, drank and had fun.

And after he dealt with some things in the Shangyuan Festival, he went to Jinyang Tower to meet the King of Gaochang.

Here, he met a familiar face, Hu Shang Koji (qu), the one who sold to Yang Ming Gaochang Ma back then.

This kid is a member of the Gaochang royal family, resident in Beijing, and has always been in charge of the trade between Gaochang and the Great Sui, what is the position of General Fubo, it seems that he is still the number one person in Gaochang.

"King Gaochang came this time, didn't he bring some high-quality horses?" After Yang Ming sat down in the hall, he said with a smile.

Gao Chang speaks Chinese, there is no problem in communication, and there is no need for a translator.

Lu Boya smiled and said: "King Qin, don't worry, I came with two thousand of the best horses this time, and I am still on the way, and I should be able to reach Jingshi in three or five days." ”

Two thousand horses is not a small number, but it is certainly not the best, the best people are reluctant to give it, and Da Sui doesn't care about his number, only about other people's horse breeds.

With a stallion, it is possible to breed slowly.

Yang Ming was quite satisfied and said: "So when King Gaochang came to the Great Sui this time, is there anything else besides worshipping my Great Sui Emperor?" ”

Koji Boya smiled and glanced at Koji Lai beside him, who hurriedly got up and said, "Our lord wants to make peace with the Great Sui, and I implore the Great Sui Emperor to give us a princess." ”

Gao Chang? And pro? You really can afford to look down on yourself, Yang Ming nodded and said: "What do you mean, I will pass it on to His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor, as for whether it can be done, it depends on Your Majesty's intentions." ”

At this time, the hippie smiling person brought a small box, put it on the long table in front of Yang Ming, and said:

"I hope King Qin can help us say good things, a little heart, not respect."

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows and gave Su Lie on the side a look, who stepped forward to open the box.

A chest full of gold.

King Gaochang also knew in his heart that he was not qualified to make peace with the Great Sui, because the current Western Turkic mud pouting Luo Khan had not yet been able to make peace with the Great Sui, and the Western Turks have always been the most awesome in the Western Regions.

Of course Yang Ming also thinks so, with Daddy Yang Guang's temper, you are a big fart place, and you also want to be close to me? You don't pee on yourself.

But Pei Ju's letter made it very clear that King Gaochang must be appeased and the other party appeased, and the Great Sui will be able to defeat Yin Wu with the least number of troops in the future.

It is impossible for the emperor's daughter to be close, only the daughter of the clan, and she is also the daughter of the marginal clan.

For example, if you ask Yang Xiong's daughter to go and kiss, is it realistic? This is simply not possible.

And Yang Ming has always had a question in his heart, in history, the princess of the Great Sui and Gaochang Kingdom, surnamed Yuwen and named Yuwen Yubo, was named Princess Huarong by Yang Guang and married to Lu Boya.

Since your surname is Yuwen, how can you be the princess of Da Sui?

Yang Ming couldn't figure it out, so he could only say, "Let's try it." ”

As soon as he spoke, Su Lie immediately put away the box of gold.

Next, it was the orchestra performance, and everyone stopped talking and thought about their own things.

After returning to the palace, Yang Ming went directly to see his wife Yang Yinjiang and asked her to send someone to inquire if there was a woman named Yuwen Yubo.

Yang Yinjiang's biological mother, born in the Northern Zhou royal family, is the second son of Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwenyong, and the daughter of Han Wang Yuwenzan, the younger brother of Yang Lihua's husband Yuwenyun.

Her three uncles, Yuwen Daodao, Yuwen Daozhi, and Yuwen Daoyi all died at the hands of Yang Jian, and her mother married Yang Su's eldest son Xuan Gan, so that she could avoid disaster, but because of the overthrow of the family, it was difficult to bear the blow, so she died early.

So Yang Ming asked Yang Yinjiang about this person, and he found the right person.

Yuwen Yubo, who is still a relative of Yang Yinjiang, is the daughter of her maternal ancestor Yuwenzan's sixth brother Yuwendui.

"Yu Wendui's daughter, do you still have to call her aunt?" Yang Ming said curiously.

Yang Yinjiang nodded: "She should be thirty-two this year, and she lives in Jingzhao Nunnery and leads the practice." ”

Ko Boya looks at her age, and she is also forty years younger, but is it a bit too much to make a woman in her thirties a princess?

This is ancient times, women don't have so many skin care products, and the crow's feet come out after thirty, and if you want to change your age and pretend to be tender, you can't pretend to be young, and it's not easy to give birth.

Calculating the time, Yuwen Yubo should have been thrown to Jingzhao Nunnery after the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he was only four or five years old at that time, since he was a nun, he should be in place.

But Yang Ming knows that his father will never agree to make peace with Gao Chang, the old Yang family clan is withering, if there is a suitable candidate for harmony, why not make peace with the Western Turks?

Pei Ju said that after cleaning up Yin Wu, he will clean up Gaochang, so is there still a need to be close?

So Yang Ming thought about it, but he still wanted to see what his father meant first, and after writing the song, he asked him to send it to Luoyang urgently.

And he himself took his wife to the Jingzhao Nunnery in Niuer Mountain again.

Yang Yinjiang saw Yuwen Yudu, and she had nothing to say at all, although the two were very close relatives, they had hardly met, so they didn't have any feelings.

Yuwen Yudu has an ordinary appearance, but perhaps because of his cultivation, he doesn't look old at all.

You say that she is only in her twenties, some people must believe her, but if you say that she is eighteen or nineteen years old, that is nonsense, but generally the princess is about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"What are you doing with me?" Yuwen Yudu talked to Yang Yinjiang, not polite at all, after all, he was an elder.

Yang Yinjiang smiled: "Look at how my aunt is doing?" ”

"It's been more than 20 years, and you only remembered to come to see me today?" Yuwen Yudu sneered: "You can't be beating me up for something, right?" ”

"Hehe......." Yang Yinjiang had nothing to say, she didn't like to talk to smart people.

Then, after Yang Ming and his wife met Cui Cheng, they chatted a few words, and then went down the mountain early to leave, after all, they had to rush back to Beijing before dark.

"Your idea is really weird," On the way back, Yang Yinjiang, who had become a concubine again, was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Isn't it inappropriate to use the old Zhou's clan lake to make King Gaochang?" ”

Yang Ming smiled: "What do you mean by Princess Heqin?" His Majesty recognized that his daughter could be called a princess, so ah, even if the daughter of the common people represents the Great Sui and the relatives, it is also a princess, not a lake lane. ”

"Although there are few people in my Great Sui Sect, it is not impossible to find a few daughters of the right age, so why bother to take the top?" Yang Yinjiang said.

Yang Ming smiled and said: "Because my father and emperor look down on Gaochang and feel that King Gaochang is not even qualified to marry a clan girl, but Pei Ju means that he does not intend to consume too much when using troops against Yin Wu, so Gaochang needs to be appeased for the time being, and it is not an easy thing to clean up Gaochang in the future, it will make the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo think wildly, after all, Gaochang is the throat of the two countries into the Great Sui." ”

"The current situation is indeed not suitable for another big war," Yang Yinjiang nodded and said: "My stepmother is from the Cui family, I heard that my father is negotiating with the Cui family, I hope they can stand up in the future and accuse Yang Jian of causing trouble in Hebei, I hope this time, there will be no more accidents." ”

After that, Yang Yinjiang held her husband's hand and said softly:

"If your husband is like this, what more could you ask for, thank you for all this you have done for me, no matter how you treat me in the future, I will not have the slightest resentment."

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Although Yang Yue was demoted to Xiyang Taishou, he must be very happy now, but you have to be mentally prepared, it is not easy for him to come back." ”

"I know this, my father is jealous of our family, I have known it for a long time," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile: "I don't mean to resent my father, the Yang family is a behemoth, there are as many as 400 officials, and it is impossible for such a family not to be remembered." ”

"And I also know," Yang Yinjiang suddenly looked at Yang Ming, looked directly into the other party's eyes and said: "If you succeed to the throne in the future, you will also target the Yang family, but please rest assured, I will only stand on your side and help you suppress your own mother's family." ”

Yang Ming smiled and did not answer her directly, but said:

"If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"

Yang Yinjiang smiled and buried her head in her husband's arms.
