Pei Shuying is a very strong character, although after becoming a mother, her temperament has been slightly restrained, but her nature cannot be changed.

When she listened to Yang Ming's narration, her face was gloomy and terrifying, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"The second child can really do any dirty thing, he dares to rob his brother's woman, is there something wrong with his brain?"

Yang Ming said: "Take revenge, he fell in love with Xiaotang when he was in Luoyang and wanted to take it for himself, but I sent someone to help Xiaotang relieve the siege at that time, and killed his staff Qiao Lingze, presumably he held a grudge because of this." ”

"My father is also a generation of heroes, how can there be such a son?" Pei Shuying said with a look of disdain: "No wonder for so many years, my father didn't dare to hand over the power to him, he really didn't deserve it." ”

After that, Pei Shuying frowned and said: "It's okay if you don't know about this, since you know, we can't be nice to him." ”

"Don't act rashly for the time being, my father and mother don't want me to break up with him," Yang Ming said with a smile: "You just know, don't spread the word." ”

Pei Shuying sighed faintly: "Your brother will turn his face, it is a matter of time, you have to be careful, the second child must also understand in his heart, be careful of him jumping off the wall in a hurry." ”

Yang Ming nodded.

For most of today, he stayed in Yichun Palace, and just after dinner, the waiter came to report that Pei Ju came.

"I didn't expect the prince to be there," Pei Ju smiled and saluted Yang Ming, and then sat down with his daughter holding his arm.

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Pei Gong, is this just scattered?" ”

Pei Ju nodded: "I sent Feng and Ning back to Menxia Province, and I didn't have time to eat a bite of dinner." ”

When Pei Shuying heard this, she hurriedly ordered her subordinates to prepare the meal: "What? Didn't it go well? ”

Pei Ju smiled: "Of course it won't go well, such a big event can't be negotiated in a while, and it will take time." ”

"What did you talk about today?" Yang Ming asked.

Pei Ju said: "The main thing is the appointment of Qiu He, there are differences between the two sides, the imperial court is unwilling to give in, and Feng and Ning are not happy to go to Lingnan." ”

"You guys are too blatant," Yang Ming simply sat down opposite Pei Ju and said with a smile: "What is Qiu He doing?" The defense of Yanmen Pass was rearranged by him, can people be happy to put such a person in Lingnan? ”

The topography of Lingnan determines that if they want to succeed in the rebellion, the possibility is very small, but the difficulty of the Great Sui to break through Lingnan is also quite high.

The reason is in the five mountains, Yuecheng Ridge, Du Pang Ridge, Mengzhu Ridge, Qitian Ridge, Da Yu Ridge five mountain ranges, forming a natural barrier in the north of Lingnan, as long as people hold several important checkpoints of Wuling, the army of the imperial court can not go down.

During the Kaihuang period of the Great Sui Dynasty, two methods were used to use troops in Lingnan, corresponding to Guizhou Road and Guangzhou Road respectively.

Guizhou Road is to do it directly, all the way forward, Guangzhou Road is to negotiate, and discuss it with others.

Because the Guizhou Road area is closer to the Central Plains and the general jurisdiction of Jingzhou, it is next to each other, when Wei Shikang served as the governor of Jingzhou at the earliest, Guizhou was under the management of Jingzhou, and it was later carved out in order to take care of Lingnan.

And to Guizhou, there is a waterway that is very easy to walk, that is, the Xiangjiang River, which originates between Yuecheng Ridge and Du Pang Ling, at the end of the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River, there is a canal dug during the Qin Dynasty, called the Ling Canal, which connects the Xiangjiang River with the Li River, and flows through Shi'an County, the capital of Shi'an County, which is Guizhou, that is, Guilin, Guangxi.

From this route, the imperial army could drive straight into and control the Guizhou Road area, but not Guangzhou.

The Guizhou region and the Guangzhou area are separated by the Yunkai Mountains, and the Sandaoling area north of Guangzhou has no suitable marching route.

Pei Ju said while eating: "Even if it is not out of real vigilance against Ning Chang, the two counties of Shi'an and Yulin must be controlled by the imperial court, because they have a deep connection with the Central Plains, and they are also easy to control. ”

The connection is by road, Guizhou and Jingzhou Hunan area, there is a waterway and land connection, there will definitely be a connection between the two places, which is why it is convenient to control, because there is a road.

Yang Ming nodded, deeply convinced.

In history, there were two anti-thief leaders in the south, Xiao Mo and Lin Shihong, and Lingnan was blocked by these two forces at that time, and completely lost contact with the Central Plains.

In desperation, Li Xizhi, Li Guangdu, Ning Changzhen, Qiu He, and Li Hui, who were in Guizhou Road, attached themselves to Xiao Miao, and Yang Shiluo, Gao Facheng, Xi Baoche, and Feng An, who were in Guangzhou Road, surrendered to Lin Shihong.

This is determined by the geographical situation, which is equivalent to Guangxi belonging to Xiao Milling and Guangdong belonging to Lin Shihong.

In Pei Ju's arrangement, the Taishou of Shi'an County is his son Pei Xuanji, this county is in the northernmost part of Lingnan, and once something happens, it is convenient for Pei Xuanji to run away.

After all, he is his own father, and he definitely doesn't dare to let his son go deep into Lingnan.

"I was going to go to the military department tomorrow, but the military department has been discussing with Lingnan recently, and it seems that it will take a few days," Yang Ming said.

Pei Ju frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"I have been to the Ministry of War many times, and I have witnessed the review process, if His Royal Highness wants Yuwen Shu to go down, it is an opportunity now, but what variables will be after he goes down, we can't say for sure, so the minister thinks that Yuwen Shu can't move now."

Yang Ming nodded: "I can't move, the merit of destroying the country has been decided, and now to overthrow it, it is to blow His Majesty's face, and it is difficult to explain it to the people of the world, Yuwenshu's prestige has been achieved, if you want to move him, you can't be involved with the expedition, if you are involved, you can't move." ”

Pei Ju said with a relieved face: "I was really worried that His Highness would attack Yuwenshu, but now it seems that I am too worried." ”

From Pei Ju's point of view, Yuwenshu can't move, no matter what mistakes the other party makes, you are in the court, you can help me attract the attention of the Yang family, which is beneficial to me.

Once Yuwen Shu falls, Yang Yue and they will definitely turn their heads against him.

Now the Pei and Yang families are harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they are already brewing in the dark.

And Pei Ju felt that their family couldn't fight Yang Yue at the moment, because Yang Yue had the crown prince and concubine behind him, and there was a concubine from the East Palace.

So he plans to pick up another person and let this person continue to help him in front.

"The minister plans to recommend Li Yuan to be Shangshu Zuocheng, what does His Highness think?" Pei Ju said tentatively.

Yang Ming frowned slightly, and said curiously: "Pei Gong and Li Yuan are not familiar with each other, right?" ”

Pei Ju said with a smile: "Li Yuan is a very powerful person, and only if he takes this position, His Majesty will not object, the minister is really not familiar with him, and it is because he is not familiar that he dares to recommend it." ”

He wanted to be in Yang Ming's heart, which means that you can rest assured, Li Yuan is His Majesty's person, Jiancheng is your person, and their family has nothing to do with me.

How not? People and Pei Yun are related by marriage, are you two going to be an alliance?

Have you asked me no?

"Can Li Yuan look at it?" Yang Ming said with a smile.

Li Yuan has great ambitions, and people are rushing to a book, but among the six departments, the Ministry of Industry with the lowest power definitely does not have his share, because he is not a technical talent, and the largest ministry can't take his turn, so he doesn't have that ability and prestige.

That's the four left, it's unrealistic to expect Xuan Gan to make room for him, as long as Xuan Gan doesn't rebel, his age is still long.

So what Li Yuan can look forward to, that is, Cui Zhongfang's civil department, Changsun Chi's criminal department, and Duan Wenzhen's military department, these three people are all older.

Which one dies first, Li Yuan can take over which one, this is basically known to everyone, and everyone knows that Li Yuan is currently the first candidate for the position of Shangshu.

Pei Ju said with a smile: "He must be willing, occupy this position, and enter Shangshu Province, so that he can familiarize himself with the official affairs of the province early, and if he changes to someone else, His Majesty will not agree, and you will not agree with the prince." ”

Let Li Yuanshang, Yang Yue will not agree, but unfortunately, the Yang family has no suitable candidates, and his three younger brothers are also the old Yang Yue.

The third Yang Shen, the fourth Yang Xun, Yang Yue almost didn't want to recognize them, one is the provincial Tongzhi Scattered Rider Lang, only six products, and the other is the school secretary of the secretary province, these two have already entered the stage of lying flat for the elderly, and people's interest is not to climb up at all.

"I don't get involved in this matter, you should recommend it," Yang Ming said lightly.

Pei Ju could see that Yang Ming felt that it didn't matter, so he nodded.

After the court meeting the next day, Yu Wenshu hurriedly ran to the military department, he was waiting for the prince.

Because the prince said that he was going to come to the military department today to take a look at the review process of the entire expeditionary battle, he came to explain it to the prince.

Why did he leave Yu Zhongwen aside to save Wei Xuan, why didn't he fight Gao Dayang early, he had already thought of a countermeasure last night.

As for Duan Wenzhen, he was going to participate in the negotiations with Lingnan, but he didn't leave today, and both of them waited for Yang Ming.

"Exaggerated, huh? Why was Yu Zhongwen almost wiped out? Yu Wenshu stood on the edge of the sand table, looked at a scroll, frowned:

"His main force is not damaged, although he is surrounded by Yizhi Wende and Gao Jianwu, he still has the power to fight a decisive battle, how can he record how many want to be destroyed? Who wrote this? Isn't that ruining me? ”

Duan Wenzhen sat on the side, and said: "Don't ask me, the review of the military department is very rigorous, and the statements of the generals of each department will be written truthfully, and Tai Shiling is also watching from the sidelines, who dares to say nonsense?" ”

Tai Shi Ling is Zhang Xuanxuan, who studied under Zu Chong, what did Yang Guang do after he succeeded to the throne, and everyone dared to write it into the history books for you.

There is also a secretary and young eunuch Wang Shao, who is also staring at it, because Taishi Cao is under the management of the secretary and the province, and Yuan Tiangang is also in this department at the moment.

Yuwen Shu said angrily: "Write it all around, this Liang Shi'an dares to insult me?" Liang Bi is a good stepson. ”

Liang Shidu, under the command of Zhongwen, when he fought the Black Bone City, he was the vanguard, and this kid participated in the whole process, as for the destruction of the heart, this is what Yu Zhongwen said when he scolded Yuwen when he was in a meeting in the military tent.

The original words were: Yuwen is advancing eastward, trapping me in danger, if I don't retreat north in time, the main force will be destroyed soon.

Liang Shi changed it, and directly changed it to almost annihilation of the whole army.

This kid is a smart man, he was originally arranged by Yang Ming to join the army, but Yuwenshu saw that he was unhappy, so he joined the army from the Leopard Cavalry Army, kicked him to Yu Zhongwen, and became a general with four thousand rows of soldiers, belonging to the cannon fodder team that played forward.

Liang Shi has a grudge, you let Lao Tzu be cannon fodder, and Lao Tzu will put you together.

The reason why he has this courage is because Liang Shidu feels that he is the prince's person, and the prince values him very much.
