Yang Ming is purely curious about that kind of indecent thing, and it doesn't matter if he satisfies his curiosity after seeing it once.

Afterwards, he also criticized this as an arrogant and lascivious pleasure, which was simply unsightly.

It's called cheap and good.

Pretend, you pretend to me again, Yang Xiong snickered in his heart.

Xu Jing rushed from the Qin Palace, saying that there was a decree in Luoyang, and the eunuch in charge of announcing the decree in the Inner Servant Province was waiting in the Qin Palace.

In the Great Sui, the edict is generally the Ministry of Internal History, not the Ministry of Internal Service, and the eunuchs are serving the emperor in the Great Sui, and they have no right to speak in the court, they are slaves.

But because Yang Ming is the prince, Yang Guang often sends him letters in private, and it is more convenient for some eunuchs to be private, so gradually, Yang Ming's will is basically read out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In order to show his trust in Yang Xiong and Lu Chu, Yang Ming smiled:

"If you are free, you will go back with me to see what your majesty wants."

Of course, the two were curious, and they wished they knew the content of the holy decree now, and Yang Ming also guessed that the holy decree was related to harmony, so it didn't matter if the two of them knew.

So the three of them went to the Qin Palace.

After rewarding the eunuch who read the decree with money, Yang Ming, Yang and Lu sat down in the study.

"One is to fight Yin Wu, and the other is to be close to Gaochang, since Your Majesty has given me full authority to arrange, what do you two think?"

Yang Xiong frowned and said, "Your Majesty really agreed?" Is the small country of Panyu worth getting along? ”

Yang Ming said: "Is it worth it, we don't need to discuss it anymore, the will is very clear, find a suitable candidate, be named Princess Huarong, arrange to marry King Gaochang, and the prestige of the king in the clan is not a second person, do you have a suitable candidate here?" ”

Yang Xiong pursed his lips: "This matter is obvious, Princess Heqin is an unlucky egg, since Pei Ju has the idea of dealing with Gaochang, the role of Princess Heqin is only for a while, whoever I choose, I will offend whoever I choose, and I will offend whoever I want, and if it is not flattering, King Qin should let others do it." ”

Lu Chu also nodded on the side and said: "The content of Your Majesty's will is worth figuring out, there is no provision that the selection of relatives must come from the clan, we may be able to find someone to replace us from elsewhere." ”

Yang Xiong hurriedly nodded and said, "That's right! Gaochang is a small country, how can I be worthy of being the daughter of my Great Sui clan? Your Majesty is obviously not happy, so the will is not written, but let the King of Qin decide for himself, His Royal Highness has to grasp it, I guess Your Majesty definitely has no intention of choosing from the clan. ”

Lu Chu now has the heart to tie up with Yang Xiong, so he hurriedly echoed: "There is a precedent for this kind of thing, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty is the queen of the palace, Zhaojun, who is the princess of Heqin, and marries the Huns, we can also find a palace maid." ”

Waiting for your words, Yang Ming smiled:

"King Gaochang wants a princess, even if the palace maid is dressed in silk and satin, gold and jade jewelry, but she does not have the cultivation and nobility that a princess should have.

"Then choose from the big family," Yang Xiong said.

Yang Ming smiled: "Then there is King Laoguan." ”

Well? What are you pushing me for? As I said earlier, I won't do anything that offends people.

Yang Xiong hurriedly said: "Your Highness still has to make an idea, we just make a suggestion." ”

Yang Ming suddenly looked embarrassed: "No one would be willing to marry the woman in the family to such a remote and desolate place, and I don't want to make people complain at this time, you can help find a way." ”

The two of them began to think bitterly, you can let us come up with ideas, but you can't let me make decisions.

Especially Lu Chu, he is even more reluctant to offend people when the new official takes office.

After a while, Lu Chu said tentatively: "If you want to talk about extravagance, I'm afraid that the old Zhou is orphaned, it's more appropriate, right?" ”

Look, I know that the two of you will definitely be able to guess, this is what you said, not what I said, Yang Lihua will complain about you in the future, you don't have to rely on me.

Yang Ming nodded suddenly: "Lu Zhongshu has a clever plan, just do it, I will choose the people." ”

Lu Chu nodded happily, who don't you choose? The people of the old Zhou are all protected by the eldest princess, and I can't afford to mess with others.

The matter was settled, and after sending the two away, Yang Ming asked Xu Jing to grind the ink, and wrote the three words Yang Yuzhu on the blank space of the holy decree.

Heqin princess, you can't use someone's real surname, now they are the emperor's daughter.

As for Yuwen Yuzhu's birth age, this good editor, the previous Chang'an County Commander Yang Chugang, was Yang Jian's patriarch, who was involved in Yang Liang's rebellion back then, was demoted to a concubine, and was driven out of Beijing with several sons, and now I don't know if he is dead or alive.

And Yang Chugang's mansion has now been taken back by the imperial court, and it is simply said that Yang Yuzhu is Yang Chugang's granddaughter, who is eighteen years old this year.

Believe it or not, that's your business, anyway, I'm eighteen years old.

Called Yang Yinjiang, Yang Ming instructed: "You will send someone to Jingzhao Nunnery tomorrow to bring people back, and according to this statement, change her background, do you think, will she be willing?" ”

"It's better than being a nun, right?" Yang Yinjiang smiled: "At least it's a lot freer." ”

Unlike other nunnery, nuns in other places are voluntary, but Jingzhao Nunnery is forced, and they are more prisoners than nuns.

Yang Ming also felt that Yuwen Yuzhu should not refuse, besides, the holy decree has been written for you, do you dare to refuse?

The next day, Yang Ming began to discuss with his ministers about the conquest of Yin Wuguo.

Yinwu country, a semi-desert area, is a rather mysterious place for the people of the Central Plains, because many people have not been there.

In fact, Yin Wuguo is a mixed land of Hu and Han, except for Yin Wu City, the others are scattered towns and villages, which means that if you want to destroy Yin Wu Kingdom and attack Yin Wu City, it will be over.

The reason why the Great Sui took a fancy to this place was because it was located in a key position in the Hexi Corridor, and Dunhuang County went west out of Yumen Pass, which was the Yin Wu Kingdom.

This place, even if the Great Sui took it, would only be used as a gateway to trade in the Western Regions to control, to put it bluntly, it was to establish a place to collect tolls, which was called tariff.

"In Pei Gong's records, there are more than 1,000 defenders in Yin Wucheng," Li Jing said: "Our army has traveled a long distance, needs grain and grass, and is attacking the city, so it should be three times the strength of the army, and the strategy is perfect." ”

Yang Xiong agreed: "How can we get 3,000 people, but we are not familiar with that side, should we say hello to the Turks and ask them to send troops to support?" ”

Historically, it was Xue Shixiong who fought Yin Wuguo, and Pei Ju also negotiated with the Turkic Qimin and asked him to send troops to support, and Qimin also agreed, but in the end he did not send anyone over.

So Yang Ming didn't plan to say hello to the Turks, and he didn't come when he beat you, so he could tell you?

Yang Ming said: "I don't need to tell them, let's fight by ourselves, 3,000 people will go out of Beijing, not carrying grain and grass baggage, and will be supplied by the counties along the way. ”

When Su Lie was beating Gu Hun, he became famous, many people knew that he had saved Mai Tiecane, and the two of them also worshipped, so when Yang Ming said the name Su Lie, no one objected.

The more remote and bitter cold the march, the more young people have to be used, besides, Yin Wuguo has only a total of 1,000 soldiers, and he feels that if he goes alone, he can be wiped out.

Yang Ming also took this into account, thinking that he could get some military merit for Su Lie, and the most important thing was to gain prestige in the army, and the guards of the military government were all recognized.

There are a lot of 3,000 people, and standing on the playground is also overwhelming.

Then, Yang Ming summoned Su Lie and awarded the staff of the transfer of troops in front of the Manchu officials.

In the battle of the large army, the transfer of troops is to use the tiger talisman, and a small scale of a scepter is enough.

At present, in Guanzhong, 3,000 soldiers can still make up, but the grain and grass cannot be given, and all counties and counties along the way, the imperial court will greet each other, as a place for the army to eat.

Foreign wars are based on profits, and in fact, all wars are related to interests.

Yin Wuguo is a barren land, but it is a strategic place, because he is stuck in the Hexi Corridor, and the foreign trade of the Great Sui is not only done by the state, but also by the people.

Therefore, collecting taxes here can not only collect the private business groups of the Great Sui, but also collect the Hu people, a win-win situation.

And Yin Wuguo made his fortune by collecting tolls.

Before sending troops, Yang Ming naturally gave some orders, to the effect that if you can outwit, you can outwit, don't just think about hard work, you know how to use it, and attack the county seat of Shexian County with thirty people, you can't beat Yin Wu with three thousand people?

After Yang Ming sent Su Lie away, in the evening of the same day, Huang Fenglin from Yushitai came to him secretly.

"The matter has been clarified, and the problem lies with a person named An Zhizhong," Huang Fenglin whispered in the secret room:

"This person is the record of the Yushitai, followed Chen Xiaoyi into the prison of the Criminal Department, responsible for taking care of Wei Zheng, the poison is made of aconite, the toxicity is very strong, Wei Zheng is also fatal, if it is not for the quick reaction, this time he will die."

Yang Ming frowned and said, "I've been checking for a long time, is it the ghost of your Yushitai?" ”

"Your Majesty, this An Zhiguo is dead now," Huang Fenglin said: "It was not a suicide, but a death in Dali Temple." ”

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "It must be that you tortured to extract a confession, so that the other party confessed to someone who shouldn't have confessed, right?" ”

"Your Royal Highness's wisdom," Huang Fenglin said: "This An Zhiguo's foundation is very clean, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with anyone, but after the interrogation, he confessed to a person named Pei Hong, this person has a cousin named Pei Gai, who is now the staff of the King of Qi, Pei Hong, we have been arrested, under the punishment, he also admitted that it was indeed Pei Gai who ordered him to do it, and the matter involved the King of Qi, we didn't dare to retry it in private, so we called the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to discuss, and the final result of the discussion was to kill both of them, Then he will present His Majesty truthfully. ”

Yang Ming nodded: "So what do you say to the outside world?" ”

"Let's just say that the murderer committed suicide in fear of crime, and there is no way to investigate," Huang Fenglin said.

This kind of knot seems to be very perfunctory and cannot be explained to the outside world, but it doesn't matter, they explain it to the emperor.

Being an official is like this, I don't look at how you deal with your subordinates, just look at how you are superior, it doesn't matter if you hide it, you will be bullied into a dead end.
