Chapter 32: The Plains King

Yang Yong, who was in Youzhou, received the news that his crown princess was pregnant, and he didn't seem to show any joy, because he usually didn't touch the crown princess, but he was drunk before he set out in Daxing City, so he wasted so many seconds.

He didn't even believe in his own hit rate, and began to wonder if there was something wrong with the crown princess?

Once a year, once in the middle?

put the news down, and then asked people to send a message back to Daxing City, saying that the crown princess should be well recuperated and wait for him to go back.

At this time, Yang Yong officially took over Youzhou City after General Yin Shou stepped down, before the Northern Expedition to the Turks won a war, General Yin Shou took advantage of this big victory also stepped down, the resignation after the name of the world, it is tantamount to delegating power at the highest place, the emperor gave General Yin Shou the highest standard of treatment, and at the same time, Yang Yong, the prince in charge of the land of Northern Qi, also officially took over Youzhou City.

The purpose of taking over Youju City was to allow the crown prince to pacify Goguryeo.

To be an emperor, there must always be a way of balance, and equilibrium exists between all things, and if one party is too strong, it is not a good thing for him, so even if the policy against Goguryeo was proposed by Yang Guang, the final implementer was replaced by Yang Yong, because the emperor also had to let Yang Yong have military achievements.

Goguryeo, which seems to be only a corner of the land, is already in the prince's pocket in the eyes of the prince.

He didn't know how hard it was.

……

Goguryeo Metropolitan City Domestic City

King Gao Tang of the Plains was sitting on the throne at this time, and the envoy of the Sui Dynasty below said: "Your Excellency the King of the Plains, this is the treasure [Pearl of the Shark in the East China Sea] that the King of the Great Sui and Jin Dynasty has given to you, and we have Wangge accept the next gift, and let our Great Sui soldiers go to Silla and Baekje through Goguryeo." ”

Gao Soup's face was gloomy, and he had already rejected the request of the Great Sui soldiers to borrow the Tao before, but he came back this time, but he was more interested and sent a precious gift.

Beckoned to the maid to present the pearl of the East China Sea merman.

It's a big night pearl, and the soup stock is carefully placed in his hand to observe and play, and laughed: "Compared with your emperor and crown prince, it is obvious that this King of Jin knows how to respect his neighbors better." ”

"Please also ask Your Excellency the King of the Plains to prepare to let go."

King Gao Tang of the Plains sneered and said, "Hmph, what do your princes want to do in Youzhou?" ”

"Your Excellency the King of the Plains, this is the internal affairs of our Great Sui, Your Excellency doesn't need to ask, our Great Sui naturally has the military and political affairs of the Great Sui."

The envoy of the Great Sui was full of the mentality of the Venerable Master, which caused the king of the plains to be extremely unhappy, and threw the edict of the Great Sui directly to the ground, but he also came up with an idea: "Your prince is very rude, don't you Central Plains always say that you are a state of etiquette?" I haven't seen the way of Confucius and Mencius, but I have seen the arrogance and domineering, go back and tell your prince that you are not allowed to borrow the way, if you want to talk, let you, the more polite King of Jin, talk. ”

"Your Excellency, King of the Plains, please think more."

"No need, send the Great Sui Messenger."

Gao Tang directly issued an order to evict the guests, and the Great Sui envoy left directly with a flick of his sleeve.

The minister beside Gao Tang said, "Wang, I'm afraid it's not good to offend the Great Sui Envoy like this." ”

"Haven't you already rejected it before, borrowing? When are we three-year-olds? It's pretty beautiful to think, I can't see that you have more than 100,000 soldiers in a few cities near Youzhou, and your heart is clearly revealed. ”

At this time, Gao Tang played with the pearl of the East China Sea merman in his hand: "It's still interesting to this King of Jin of the Great Sui, and he specially sent such a treasure over, you see that this Great Sui still has people who understand etiquette, not all of them are arrogant people with nostrils on the door of the head, I have news, it seems that this King of Jin won the war against the Turks, and his prestige is flourishing, I am afraid that the prince of the Great Sui has such a younger brother." ”

The minister said worriedly: "Wang, the army of the Great Sui has just broken the Turkic army at the beginning of the year, and now the Turks have been divided into the Eastern and Western Turks, and they have surrendered to the Great Sui, we are afraid that we will not be able to fight hard with the Great Sui army, and please think twice." ”

"Hmph, do you really let the army of the Great Sui take advantage of the road? The army of the Great Sui seems to have arrived in the territory of my court, what if you don't leave? ”

The ministers shook their heads and sighed, not only wanting not to offend the Great Sui, but also not wanting to put themselves in danger.

Seeing that everyone did not speak, Gao Tang instructed the maid who came and said: "Put this East China Sea mermaid nation in my dormitory, and prepare the best maidservants in the palace, choose twenty from those I have cultivated, plus deer antlers, mountain ginseng and other items, I will count them and send them to Dasui, and I will say that they are a return gift to the Emperor of Dasui and His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

The minister was stunned, Takato has a particularly powerful ability, that is, to train handmaidens, these handmaidens were selected when they were teenagers, to meet the special requirements of beauty, smallness, and so on, and then by Tayu's own hands, he seems to have a unique method to cultivate handmaidens are particularly well-behaved and capable, and often use it to reward the ministers to win people's hearts.

On the basis of Silla maids, they cultivated better maidservants.

The ministers still continued to worry and said: "Wang, the Great Sui has now gathered so many troops near Youzhou City, plus the previous matter of Gao Baoning, if we don't deal with it well, it is very likely that the Great Sui will use troops against us, and please Wang, think twice." ”

"Although the Great Sui won the battle against the Turks, but they spent a lot of money and troops, and now it's September, and the sky and earth will be cold in the future, if the soldiers of the Great Sui dare to fight, we are not so easy to bully, only by resisting the attack of the Great Sui, the Great Sui can face us squarely."

Gao Tang continued: "The Great Sui is now the King of Jin, and the emperor is here, so he naturally won't do anything, but as far as I know, the crown prince of the Great Sui is mediocre, talentless and incompetent, I am afraid that the internal contradictions of the Great Sui are even greater than we think, if we can provoke its internal contradictions, maybe it can not only exempt our Goguryeo sword and soldiers, but also may take advantage of the civil strife in the Great Sui to intend to expand." ”

"I've been wanting Youzhou City for a long time."

The ministers of Goguryeo were frightened when they saw that their king was so ambitious, and in the minds of many people, how could a small country like Goguryeo compete with such a behemoth as the Great Sui, who defeated the Turks?

At this time, Goguryeo Molizhi (Prime Minister) Yuan Taizuo, who had not spoken before, stood up: "Wang, the minister is willing to personally lead the delegation to send back the gifts of the Great Sui to the city of Youzhou." ”

Looking at his most trusted subordinates, Gao Tang nodded and said, "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you, be sure to maintain etiquette, so as not to be excused by the Great Sui people." ”

……

Under the city of Youzhou, the Goguryeo mission was stopped under the city gate, and the guard on the city gate tower asked, "Who is coming?" ”

"Returning to Your Excellency, I am Goguryeo Yuan Taizuo, and I am specially ordered by my king to send a return gift to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui and His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and I also ask Your Excellency to open the city gate to receive the return gift."

When speaking, Yuan Taizuo emphasized His Royal Highness the King of Jin in a particularly accentuated tone, for fear that the other party would not hear clearly.

The news quickly reached Yang Yong's ears, and Yang Yong stood up as soon as he slapped the table: "What is it?" Lao Tzu gave him a good voice and spoke angrily, came and went to communicate several times, this time he actually said that he wanted to give a gift to the second child, and he didn't know what to lift, so he ordered soldiers to go out with me and cut him. ”

The strategist Zhang Dayi hurriedly stopped him: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, don't be rude, the two armies are still fighting and don't kill the envoys, the other party is an envoy of Goguryeo, and he comes to the door with gifts, if we lose our manners, I'm afraid we will be ridiculed." ”

"Etiquette, etiquette, how are you like an old pedant now, a group of rotten Confucians over there in Qufu before, make a ceremony and a word of etiquette, just who is in their group and surrenders whose old guy still means to say a word of etiquette? I've got a big head, and now you're telling me that, too? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince's etiquette is troublesome, but the etiquette is also His Royal Highness, you can always press His Royal Highness the King of Jin's magic weapon, and please follow the etiquette more, the other party is so blatantly named to thank His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and it is clear that he wants to provoke the relationship between you and His Royal Highness the King of Jin."

"The relationship between the two of us still needs to be provoked?"
