On June 11, Yang Ming received an envoy from the Eastern Turks at the court meeting, and learned that the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks, the Qimin Khan, had died of illness a month and a half earlier.

Who is the heir, the Great Sui side has to express its position, because the attitude of the Great Sui is very important.

Qimin Khan had five sons, the eldest son Ashina Dujishi, the second son Ashina Tsengif, the third son Ashina Dubi, the fourth son Ashina Buli, and the fifth son Ashina Qiji.

The ministers of the DPRK and China still have a discussion about this, is this a useful commentary? Just look at the Turkic envoy to the Great Sui this time, Kang Sheli, who is the confidant of the boss Ashina Dujishi, you know that the people have already controlled the Eastern Turks.

At this time, if the Great Sui supported others, the relationship with the Eastern Turks would immediately be stiff, after all, the Turks were also the eldest son.

Since he has the right to be the master and knows the direction of history, Yang Ming said directly:

"Regarding the Turkic heir, the Great Sui supports the succession of the eldest son of the Qimin Khan, Du Jishi, you can inform him of our attitude."

Kang Sheali was immediately relieved and said, "Then, according to our Turkic customs, Du Jishi can remarry Princess Yicheng, and ask the Prince of Da Sui for permission." ”

"Of course it is allowed," Yang Ming said with a smile: "Please tell the young khan, the Great Sui is deeply saddened by the death of the great khan, and the Honglu Temple will prepare sacrifices, please bring them back with you." ”

"Thank you to the prince of the Great Sui, may our two countries be friends forever," Kang Sheli gave Yang Ming a chest-beating salute.

Yang Ming was originally concurrently with Honglu Temple, but now he is the prince, so naturally he doesn't need to do anything, Shaoqing is Chen Shuming and Yuwen Shihe, and both of them are not qualified enough to take over, so Yang Ming transferred Fang Yanqian from Shangshu Province to take over Honglu Temple.

This department is in charge of receiving foreign guests, and Kang Sheli's official name in the Turks is Teller, which probably means special service personnel, and the official is not low.

Because of the Turkic bureaucracy, the highest ones are Ye Hu, She, and Teller.

Ye Hu was the head of the Turkic tribes, and he was the military commander in charge of the military power, and the special service was generally the son and younger brother of the Great Khan or the nephew and nephew.

For example, the eldest son, Ashina Dujishi, is the Shibi Khan in history, and his four younger brothers are all set.

Among them, the third Ashina Dubi is the famous Jieli Khan.

Princess Yicheng was originally the princess of Da Sui who married Qimin, but now that Bi Khan has succeeded to the throne, she can remarry and continue to be the Turkic Kehedun.

Kang Sheli, who was in Beijing, naturally wanted to visit Changsun Sheng, because Changsun was a good friend of the Turks, especially with the Qimin Khan, and was very respected in the Turks.

The eldest grandson passed away the night after meeting Kang Sheli.

Qimin and Changsun Sheng, two old friends, died in the same year, less than two months apart.

Yang Ming personally went to mourn.

Changsun here, there is a collection of things, the Eastern Turkic Great Khan's scepter, this scepter was given to each other by Qimin when he and Changsun Sheng were separated, as long as they hold this festival, all tribes in the steppe need to treat each other with courtesy.

In other words, Changsun Sheng can walk sideways in the grassland, because Qimin's most depressed exile career, he was accompanied by Changsun Sheng, although the two had their own ghosts at the time, and they used each other to take advantage of each other, but they fell in love over time and formed a deep friendship.

Kang Sheli was also very sad and personally led people to help manage the funeral, but he still asked Yang Ming to bring the scepter back to the Eastern Turks.

"This thing cannot be held by the eldest grandson, so I beg the prince of the Great Sui to allow me to bring this thing back to the Turks."

A scepter is a blessing of special identity, but this scepter is only effective if Changsun Sheng holds it, and other people don't recognize it.

Yang Ming was approved: "Just ask Teller to bring it back to the Turks." ”

Historically, Comrade Yang Guang had a very embarrassing experience, his second northern tour, was surrounded by the army led by Shibi Khan in Yanmen County, and he almost hung up.

At that time, Comrade Yang Guang said a sentence: Xiang envoy Changsun Sheng is here, and the Huns will not be allowed to come here.

It means that if Changsun Sheng were alive, the Turks would not do this, so it can be seen that Changsun Sheng is really the most important link between the Great Sui and the Turks.

Now, that bond is broken.

That night, Yang Ming discussed with his subordinate officials in the East Palace, discussing Turkic affairs, and the new Honglu Temple Secretary Fang Yanqian was also summoned.

Yang Ming frowned and said: "With the death of Qimin, I am afraid that there will be a problem in the northern border of the Great Sui, and Xiaochong (Fang Yanqian) must treat the Turkic envoys well and avoid dissent." ”

Fang Yanqian nodded and said: "Du Jishi is in the prime of life, and he will not be as serious as his father, and the prince's worries are very necessary." ”

Yang Ming must be unwilling to curry favor with the Turks in his heart, but this is how the diplomacy of the two countries is played, if you don't show goodwill, people raise troops to invade the border, and it is the common people of the Great Sui who suffer.

What's more, there are many problems in the Great Sui itself at present, and the biggest problem is Comrade Yang Guang.

Historically, China has used troops against the northern nomads, all of which are the strength of the country, and the current Great Sui is not ready, when the economy is in the rising period, then the border must remain peaceful.

Only when there is a certain accumulation can troops be used externally.

The Turks must be fought, and this is the top confidant of the Great Sui.

"Prepare more sacrifices, let that Kang Sheli take away, the edict of the Ministry of Internal History, the language should be more appropriate, and the condescending tone should be minimized."

Yang Ming's words were said to Lu Chu, but Lu Chu's words in the Inner History Province were not very effective, so tonight's council, the two squires Xiao Yu and Wang Xuan were also there.

Originally, Yu Shiji, the provincial governor of the palace, was also the servant of the internal history, but some time ago, Yang Ming suggested that Yang Guang kick the other party out.

Because at that time, it happened to be the time when Fan Yang Lu recognized it, and Lu Chu was in the Inner History Province, and the last thing he took into account was Yu Shiji.

This move is to appease Lu Chu, and it is also for Lu Chu to do things well in the future of the Ministry of Internal History.

This Wang Xuan is not a newcomer, he is Yang Jian's henchman, and he is an old man from Daddy's Jin Palace, born in the Langya Wang family, and he can mention it this time, and it is also stained with the light of Daddy's favorite concubine Wang Zhuoling.

Wang Xuan nodded and said: "The edict has also been prepared, and it will be submitted to His Majesty after the prince reads it in person." ”

Yang Ming can draft the edict here, but Yang Guang must be allowed to take a look, after all, this is a big deal, and he can't make decisions without permission.

Because it was Yang Guang's edict, not him, the edict would be sent to the Eastern Turks by Yang Guang's envoys.

Nominally, the Eastern Turks were subordinate to the Great Sui, so the transfer of power, the Great Sui would have the process of enthronement, but the actual situation was that the Turks didn't take it seriously.

And Yang Guang also knew in his heart that the other party should not take it seriously.

Yang Ming took the edict and glanced at it, and immediately frowned, the tone on it was still so domineering, as if this future Shibi Khan was really a courtier of the Great Sui.

"It's not appropriate, change it again," Yang Ming said.

Wang Xuan frowned and said, "The tone is too kind, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't like it." ”

Uncle Xiao Yu also persuaded: "As for this edict, I'm afraid I won't be able to get through it with Your Majesty, and if I change it, I'm afraid the Ministry of Internal History will be responsible." ”

Lu Chu also hurriedly nodded.

Yang Ming frowned and said: "I am also responsible, Your Majesty, I will write a letter, you just have to change it according to my wishes." ”

The three of them looked at each other helplessly.

In fact, Yang Ming is also out of prudence, you are now offended by Shi Bi, people will really go to Yanmen to surround you in the future, and it is not clear whether Dad will not die like in the history books.

After all, there are two people who saved Yang Guang in history, one is Yang Jun, and the other is Princess Kehe Dunyicheng of Turkic.

Yang Jun doesn't have the power to fight now, how can he save it?

And Yang Ming is destined not to leave Beijing, because he is the crown prince and will sit in Beijing when the emperor is away.

Hey. That's not right

If Dad really died in Yanmen, then there would be no more chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty?

Yang Ming suddenly raised his hand: "Wait and change it, I'll think about it again." ”

If Daddy hangs up, can he take over smoothly? I'm afraid the prestige is not very good now, but in another two years, it may be barely enough.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the current center of the Great Sui is half of Yang Jian's people and half of Yang Guang's people.

And Yang Ming's people are all in the East Palace, and they are all a bunch of tender boys, if he takes over now, he won't be able to suppress the old foxes in the court, and it is very easy to be set aside.

This is why many emperors in history will kill and dismiss the powerful ministers of the court when they are old, so that their sons can succeed smoothly.

As soon as Xu Jie died, Emperor Longqing hurriedly asked Gao Gong to return to the dynasty to balance Zhang Juzheng, but as soon as Emperor Longqing died, Gao Gong was dismissed from office by Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao, causing Zhang Juzheng to sit big and press Emperor Wanli for ten years.

Yang Ming will not allow himself to be set aside, that is to say, in the next few years, he will let more of his henchmen enter the center to take power, so as to be able to make a stable transition in the future.

Yang Ming had already made up his mind that the edict would not be changed, so be it, delay the time of his father's second northern tour, and take this opportunity to send his henchmen to the center, but after thinking about it, another problem came.

What if Daddy really died at the hands of the Turks?

That must be the whole country to crusade against the Turks, otherwise he is unfilial.

However, once such a super-large-scale war begins, the situation is beyond the control of the person who has just taken over, and once the gate valve takes advantage of the war to become bigger, I am afraid it will also be a great turmoil.

The Northern Wei Dynasty also moved the capital from Datong to Luoyang, which led to the Six Towns Uprising, and the earliest gang of the Guanlong Group directly smashed the pot of the old Yuan family.

After all, the characteristics of the gate valve era are: the emperor takes turns to sit, and today he comes to my house.

The Great Sui was founded, but it has not been more than 30 years, and there are not a few people with different intentions.

"Let's change it again," Yang Ming finally decided: "Your Majesty, it's up to me to say it." ”

So he personally wrote a letter and sent his henchmen to the west, to the effect that it was now necessary to appease the new khan of the Turks, after all, the other party was young and vigorous, and it was not in my favor to make a fuss.

And he also wrote another letter to Pei Ju, asking the other party to persuade the emperor according to his own wishes.

After all, the siege of Yanmen by Yang Guang in history was the result of Pei Ju's bad idea.

It was from that time that the Turks and the Great Sui completely turned their faces.

And Yang Ming believes that he can't turn his face right now, and Da Sui can't withstand this toss.
