On the third day of Yang Guang's return to Beijing, there was still no court meeting today.

Both the Qin Wang Party and the Qi Wang Party, including the neutral faction, did not move around today, but stayed at home, intending to spend the day and meet tomorrow's Hebei reckoning.

This was the final battle between the two princes of Qin and Qi, but no one met to discuss strategy.

Because all the discussions in advance are useless, what will happen at the court meeting, no one can predict, the rhythm is in the hands of the emperor.

After all, it is a matter of the battle for the storage position, and the lord of the East Palace will inevitably be a super-large-scale battle, and the scene of bleeding will definitely happen.

As Yang Guang, who presided over this big dispute, was the most headache, he had been thinking since the moment he opened his eyes every morning, the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, he chose to let Yang Ming come up, but he would not beat the second child to death with a stick.

Therefore, how to safely confirm the successor is something he must think carefully.

On this day, Yang Guang issued an order to reduce the troops, and the Sixteenth Guard Military Mansion began a major adjustment, and the internal defense of the Beijing Division was temporarily handed over to Yang Xiong, the king of Guan, and Yang Zhiji, the king of Cai.

Jingzhao defense was handed over to Duan Da, Guo Yan, Qiu He and Dou Kang.

These people are either clan or neutral, and Yang Guang is afraid that his two sons will use the military power in their hands to do things.

Yang Ming is the general of the right guard, and Yang Ming is the general of the right reserve, and they all have soldiers in their hands.

In the morning, he went to the official office of the King of Qin, asked everyone to get ready, and allocated two hundred subordinates to be responsible for sending all the files into the imperial city tomorrow.

Zheng Anrao also came to work today, and there was no place for him for the time being, so Yang Ming arranged for him to work under Yuan Wendu, who was also a fellow villager in Henan.

There is also a newcomer, that is, Cui Churen, this kid was originally the gatekeeper of Mingde Gate, with a lot of oil and water, and now he was asked by Yang Ming from the city defense to come over, and he entered the palace to serve, and he is a scribe for the time being.

After all, after Cui Hongdu died, Cui Hongsheng, as the second child, has now taken on the responsibility of the family, not to mention that Cui Hongsheng is still General Zuo Wuwei.

At the moment, they are both nervous and excited, they have been waiting for this day for a long time, the prince is an official and the prince is an official, those are two concepts.

One can only do some palace chores, while the other can participate in state affairs.

Today is destined to be a very peaceful day.

Yang Ming stayed here with Gao Yue all afternoon, because he didn't want to talk about tomorrow with others, and if he was replaced by Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying, he would definitely not be able to get around this topic.

"Your Highness seems to have a lot on your mind, and you are anxious to get rid of it?" Gao Yue moved the fire to the edge of the porch, then tightened the cloak on his body and sat next to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming looked at the drifting snow outside, rubbed his hands from time to time, and said:

"Don't guess, go play the qin, I want to hear you play the qin."

Gao Yue didn't say anything, but got up and came to squat opposite Yang Ming, stretched out his warm hands in his sleeves and held Yang Ming's cold hands tightly, and then rubbed them repeatedly,

"It's cold, the strings are stiff, the timbre is not accurate, this time the concubine is going to refuse His Royal Highness."

The other party's hands were very warm, Yang Ming closed his eyes, and said:

"Have you ever thought about the rest of your life?"

Gao Yue was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: "I haven't thought about it, I just think that now is the most stable time for the concubine in this life, if you can spend your life like this, what do you want?" ”

Yang Ming couldn't help but smile and said: "A person's life will not be static, especially women, more often they go with the flow, how difficult it is to make your own decisions, since you like to stay here, stay here in the future." ”

Gao Yue forced a smile and said, "My identity and age are my biggest burden, right?" ”

No, it's your looks, Yang Ming didn't dare to bring Gao Yue into the palace, for fear of being targeted by his father, there was no way, she was born with a red face and trouble, although she was a little older, it didn't affect her attractiveness to men at all.

Although Yang Ming felt that his father would not necessarily have the idea of beating his woman, he still had to be just in case, after getting along with Gao Yue for a long time, he had already regarded the other party as his own forbidden body.

Only I can touch it.

Although Gao Yue stayed at home, she and Chen Shuyi could probably guess from their daily chats that Yang Ming was likely to be made the prince.

The prince was going to enter the East Palace, and Yang Ming asked her to stay in the Qin Palace, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Without getting Yang Ming's answer, Gao Yue smiled bitterly and let go of Yang Ming's hands, and after muttering for a long time, he suddenly got up and threw down Yang Ming........

There is something serious tomorrow, so Yang Ming won't ask Gao Yue tonight, let's talk about it another day.

........

On the thirtieth day of the first lunar month, at the beginning of the morning, before dawn, the officials of Daxing City had already gone out.

The first court meeting after the emperor returned to Beijing, all the officials above the third grade went to the Daxing Palace, the three grades were down, and the palace was waiting for the call.

The members of the clan, as well as those above the rank of marquis at home, all entered the imperial city and waited for the announcement in the province of Menxia.

On Suzaku Street, the end of the convoy could not be seen, and everyone consciously pulled over their vehicles, and deliberately slowed down the speed, waiting for the high-level to advance to the palace.

Yang Ming changed into his Jiuzhang pro-dynasty uniform, took all his staff, and went to the imperial city.

Outside the Suzaku Gate, Yang Jun was already waiting for him.

"On such a cold day, the third child came on horseback?" Yang Jun was also riding a horse, looking at the carriages in Yang Ming's convoy, and said, "What are the carriages filled with?" ”

Yang Ming replied with a smile: "After the second brother returned to Beijing, the younger brother didn't have time to visit, and asked the second brother not to mind." ”

Yang Jun laughed and said, "How can you not mind?" Your new sister-in-law, you don't seem to have seen it yet, right? Be sure to go to my house today, so that your sister-in-law can meet her, the uncle who leans towards the ruling and the opposition. ”

Yang Ming said with a smile: "We really should see each other, why don't we make an appointment tonight, together in Yong'an Palace, to say hello to the queen mother, and our brothers can have a reunion." ”

"What? Don't you dare to go to my house? Yang Jun asked.

Yang Ming smiled: "How dare you? It will be disturbing another day. ”

"Alas........" Yang Xuan sighed and looked up in the direction of the city gate: "The third child has a deep misunderstanding of me, let's enter the palace." ”

"Second brother, please," Yang Ming raised his hand and said.

In the Daxing Palace, the ministers gathered, but the hall was surprisingly quiet, and the atmosphere was a little weird than usual.

Everyone's eyes always looked at Yang Ming and Yang Jun from time to time, trying to capture the changes in their expressions, but today, these two people behaved extremely calmly.

After Yang Guang entered the hall, he first glanced at the outside of the hall, and then ordered the eunuchs of the inner province to prepare a stove and place it outside the hall, so as not to freeze the group of people outside, after all, there were many old people inside.

And the Daxing Hall is directly closed the door of the palace, and the discussion inside is not clear outside.

After Yang Guang sat down, he first looked at Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and asked:

"What's going on over there?"

In fact, the military department could not manage Su Lie's expeditionary force, and the military department of the Great Sui was in charge of the logistics of the troops, and could not manage the marching operations, but as the secretary of the military department, Duan Wenzhen inquired about the specific movements of the army in the military department as soon as he returned to Beijing.

"Back to Your Majesty, the latest report received by the Ministry of War, Su Lie has just arrived in Zhangye, and it will take about half a month to enter Yin Wu."

It was very far from Jingshi to Zhangye, and Su Lie's army of 3,000 people only had 300 horses, so the marching speed was naturally not much faster.

At that time, Yang Guang did not come back, and there were really no extra war horses for Su Lie to transfer on the Guanzhong side.

Yang Guang frowned and looked at Yang Ming:

"You are quite bold in employing people this time, is it reliable for such a young marching commander?"

Yang Ming said: "Father, rest assured, Yin Wu is just a barbaric land in the west, and our Sui army is all elite, and the enemy is unstoppable." ”

At this time, Mai Tiezhu also stood up and spoke for his worshipping brother:

"Su Lie used strange soldiers and was good at surprise attacks, and the minister thought that Su Lie's expedition this time would be a complete success."

Mai Tiecane, this is a pure emperor's henchman, Yang Guang smiled when he heard this:

"I know that he is your brother-in-law, if he is defeated, I will take you for the crime?"

Mai Tiezhu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "The minister is willing to accept the guilt." ”

The ministers burst into laughter, and everyone could see that the emperor was joking.

Of course, joking also divides people, and if you say the same thing to different people, then it's not a joke.

No one will think that the emperor is helping King Qin get rid of the burden, because even if Su Lie is defeated, King Qin will not have anything to do with it, at most, he will not use people properly, and he will not even complain to the emperor.

You gave it to King Qin to arrange, and King Qin also arranged it, if you lose, is it your fault or King Qin's fault?

That's right.

Next, Yang Guang asked again: "Is that Gao Changguo's Koji Boya still satisfied with my marriage?" ”

Yang Ming said: "What qualifications does he have to be dissatisfied?" Naturally, he was grateful to His Majesty, and he hated to see the face of heaven, so he returned with regrets. ”

"The third child did a really beautiful job this time," Yang Jian said with a smile: "With the widow of the old Zhou Dynasty as the princess of Heqin, in order to show that Gaochang is not worthy of my Great Sui clan, there is no taboo about using troops in Gaochang in the future." ”

Yu Wenshu also echoed: "The King of Qin handles government affairs with ease, and everyone is called virtuous. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people's faces changed, and Gao Xi also frowned instantly, this time people are retreating, and the Jingshi has Yang Ming and is worry-free, isn't it implying that it doesn't matter if there is an emperor or not?

They wanted the emperor to be suspicious and wary of Yang Ming.

May I ask? What emperor wants his son to be more prestigious than himself? What kind of officials are called virtuous, isn't this roasting Yang Ming on the fire?

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Xu Guogong praised it falsely, this king at least knows that more than half of the officials are scolding me in their hearts, but I don't know, is there Xu Guogong in this?" ”

Yu Wenshu waved his hand towards Yang Ming and said:

"The minister's respect for the King of Qin can be seen by the sun and the moon, no matter who has been before or after, there is never a word of disrespect."

"Really?" Yang Ming smiled: "I don't believe it. ”

I don't even believe it myself....... Yu Wenshu smiled and stepped back to stand up again.
