Chapter 73: Father and Son

The mattress but the special service was stunned by Yang Guang, although he had a smile on his face, he turned his head and looked angry, and he could even be said to be ruthless.

Hasayaki reminded: "Your Highness, this person is ruthless, and he acts capriciously and unruly, His Highness has rejected him, so be careful." ”

Yang Guang smiled slightly, and responded to Hasayaqi's concern: "This is Daxing City, and the person who should be careful is definitely not me." ”

The New Year's banquet was simplified a lot, and Yang Guang returned to the Jin Palace, with the two side concubines.

And there is also an "uninvited guest" who went home with him today, Yang Lihua.

Yang Lihua has been living an idle life, this woman once the life is comfortable, she will look good, sleep until she wakes up naturally every day, eat and drink the best, natural skin is fair and clear, ruddy and shiny.

After drinking some wine in the evening, it became even more rosy.

"Amo, Meng Lan is pregnant, you have to be very careful, things within the palace walls are never accurate."

Facing Yang Lihua's reminder, Yang Guang nodded: "Well, all preparations have been made, and absolute safety must be ensured in the Jin Palace." ”

Yang Lihua smiled lightly and said, "Amour, you should have a son, it's good to have a son, and you won't be bullied if you have a son." ”

Facing Yang Lihua's meaning, Yang Guang gestured to Yang Lihua's maid with his eyes: "The eldest sister has drunk too much, take the eldest sister back to rest earlier." ”

Yang Lihua still hasn't forgotten what happened back then, and the hurdles in her heart still can't be overcome, as if she is okay if she looks like she is fine, but in fact, her heart is very twisted, and it doesn't taste right.

She is a woman who has lost her country, her adopted son in her name died at the hands of her biological father, and the empire of her husband's family was usurped by her own family.

can only pin her affection on buying a house, a house in Daxing City, a house in Luoyang City, and now she can be said to be the largest landlord.

On the fifth day after the New Year's Festival, the special service set off for the Turks.

Although Yang Guang was quite unkind to him at the New Year's banquet, but when it was time to leave, Yang Guang still sent him some things, which can't seem like we are stingy.

Yang Guang also said when he said goodbye: "Go back and tell your Khan that Hasayaqi is doing well in Dasui now, and you can come to see it if you have time in the future." ”

Farewell to the mattress but the special service, Hasayaki began to cry.

"What? Didn't say before that this kid couldn't be a good person, why did he still cry. ”

"I'm because of this kid, the concubine misses her mother, how far north of Daxing City is Dujin Mountain......"

On the first day she came out, she knew that she would never go back for the rest of her life, and she would never see her mother again, only the nephew she didn't like.

Hasa Yaqi also commissioned the mattress to bring some jewelry to her mother, and the mattress but the agent received the gifts, which should be done in a small way, so as not to be so ignorant.

On the twentieth day after the New Year's Festival, Bian Guandi reported that the small-scale friction between Tuyuhun and our army was expected to cause a war.

The emperor above the court informed the court of the contents of the palace report, and asked everyone how to deal with it.

Yu Qing said: "Your Majesty, Tuyuhun has occupied the main trade routes over the years, and has been expropriating violently, resulting in high commodity prices in the Western Regions of our dynasty. ”

The people who shouted and shouted to kill in the court before, but the arrogant courtiers are mostly silent now, because the defeat of the first battle of Goguryeo made many people feel that the will of heaven does not let them fight in the Great Sui now, and it is better not to fight, otherwise a small place like Tuyuhun should now be the main battle of the court.

There were very few people who supported the war, but everyone knew that from the moment the emperor sent the king of Shu out, the battle was doomed.

If you really want to talk, send a team of envoys to negotiate first, who will come up and bring the army out to talk.

Yang Jian asked Gao Gong: "What do you think we should do now?" ”

Gao Gong said bluntly: "Tuyuhun occupies the road to collect taxes, and now refuses to lower, for the sake of the smooth domestic trade routes, the minister thinks that he can fight a war first, and then negotiate peace, but it is not appropriate to occupy the land of Tuyuhun too much, and it should not be slaughtered to arouse the anger of the local people, so that they will suffer defeat, and surrender to pay the New Year's currency is the best policy." ”

The emperor looked at Yang Guang, and Yang Guang also said: "Father, the son agrees with Gao Gong's opinion, this is the best policy." ”

The emperor nodded, and with the support of Gao Gong and Yang Guang, he himself did think that this was a safer way.

"Order the King of Shu to decide the outcome of the battle, make the Tuyuhun royal family submit, agree to reduce the customs duties on the caravan, and pay me the New Year's coin."

The order was issued on the same day, but Yang Guang knew that it was impossible for Yang Xiu to obey this order, he was now the time to make meritorious contributions, how could he obey this order, as long as he won the war, he would definitely continue to advance in one go.

After saying this, Yang Jian asked again: "Amo, you have to worry about the supply of firearms." ”

"Father, rest assured, from the time the king of Shu set out, the firearms factory on the route to Tuyuhun along the way has begun to plan the logistics supply, everything is normal now, and the retainer will do his best to ensure that there is no problem with the supply line, once there is any problem, it will all be borne by the retainer."

The emperor was a little surprised to say such an oath in the main hall.

The signal of his support for the King of Shu is more obvious than the original support for the King of Jin, saying that Yang Guang can't see it, of course it is false, he does have the idea of using this matter to see if Yang Guang has the capacity to tolerate people, but Yang Guang's approach exceeded Yang Jian's own expectations.

The ministers were also very surprised.

Even if Yang Guang has a lot of gas and doesn't make trouble, it will be very good to do his job well, and it would be good to simply respond to two sentences in the court, but he didn't expect Yang Guang to directly express his words in the court, and his words were very firm.

After saying this, he had to really go all out to help the King of Shu, you must know that Yang Guang himself is not good in this matter.

The old fox Yang Su stood up among the ministers at this time and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin still has to be responsible for the affairs of the southern line against Nan Chen, and I am afraid that I am too tired to be distracted from this." ”

"King Jin, can you handle it?"

"Erchen is duty-bound, Nanchen is now temporarily stable, since the Tuyuhun war has begun, you can delay Nanchen's affairs a little, the fighter plane has not appeared, there is no need to be in a hurry."

The emperor nodded: "Tuyuhun is a quick battle. ”

……

In the border pass, the capital city of Tugu Hun was ambushed in the city, and its king Kwa Lu threw the letter in his hand to the ground with a face full of anger, and was furious, and shouted: "Little Sui Dynasty Xiaoer, dare to insult me, and try in vain to make my country surrender, do your spring and autumn dreams!" ”

On the ground is a letter sent by Yang Xiu, in which he compares the king of Tuyuhun to the small official who charges fees at the gate of the city, saying that he dares to try to raise the price privately, is insatiable, and is a man.

In general, the scolding is very ugly.

From the moment Yang Xiu received Yang Jian's order, he had no intention of obeying Yang Jian's order.

In his opinion, as long as the emperor's ultimate goal is achieved, everything will be fine, so the option of negotiation was directly left behind by Yang Xiu.

He had to make a name for himself.

King Kwaru was unusually angry, and he was going to send troops to fight a big battle with the Sui Dynasty, and his ministers advised him one after another.

The prince said bluntly: "Father, no, the Sui Dynasty army is strong, it defeated the Turks before, and they were separated, if our army is hard to fight with it, it will definitely not be an opponent, and the Sui Dynasty people have a magical trick, musket." ”

King Kwarlu's eyes were full of anger, staring straight at his crown prince, he was very easily angry, and now he was like a demon with a fierce face, and scolded at his son: "What has no interest, is the people of the Sui Dynasty invincible?" You are our Tugu Hun Tang prince, now you grow other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige, what's the use of me giving birth to you this incompetent thing? ”

After finishing speaking, he grabbed the prince and slapped two big slaps, but he didn't save any face for his son in front of the ministers, a person in his twenties, he had no dignity in front of Quarlu, and he would beat him when he said it.

The prince who was slapped twice had blood red cheeks, and Kwalu was a brave man, and the two slaps had already made the corners of his son's mouth bloody.

The ministers didn't dare to speak, this is not the first time such a thing has happened, but it didn't happen to Prince He before, but the former prince, Prince He's eldest brother, was killed by his father not long ago.

Kwarlu was furious because of his drunkenness, and beheaded the former prince directly.

Throughout the ages, regardless of the size of the dynasty, it is not uncommon for fathers and sons to oppose each other, and brothers to fight each other, but the monarch cut off his son's head directly in front of the lobby in front of everyone, put it on the table and continue to drink with him, which is also unique.

After the former prince was killed, Prince He was made the prince, as the second son of Cualu, he has been relatively weak since he was a child, but he is also very upright, so he dared to speak out and advise under the anger of Cualu, but he just became the prince He didn't seem to know much about his father's character, and in front of everyone in the court, he slapped him directly.

Grievance and anger filled his heart, but soon, grievance and anger were replaced by another emotion: fear.

Now he was extremely worried about whether he would be the next person to be killed by Quaru.

That night, the prince had a nightmare, in which his head was placed on the dining table of Quarlu, and he watched his father eat and drink wine, eating raw meat with blood, drinking red blood wine, and his mouth and cheeks were full of blood, and the terrible bloody mouth finally came to him.

Taizihe, who woke up in a dream in the middle of the night, was sweating profusely, and his lower body was full of wet and fishy smell.

He himself was scared to pee by a nightmare.

But he did not dare to tell everyone, not even the maid, so he immediately set fire to all the clothes and bedding in the house, so as not to be known that he had wetted the bed.

If the bedwetting was discovered by King Kwarus, he would have died.

In the middle of the night, the prince's official residence caught fire, but the news did not cause much of a stir.

But after such an experience, Prince He was even more afraid, and an overwhelming sense of fear invaded his heart, making him feel that he had to find a way to do it, otherwise he might end up with the same fate as the former prince.

Prince He found his division commander, Murong Da.

"Sir, the situation has been turbulent lately, what do you think we should do, sir?"

Murong Da sighed: "Your Highness, do you think our army has a chance of winning the battle with the Great Sui?" ”

"We are better than being familiar with the terrain, and our soldiers know how to fight on this land, but regardless of the number of people or the ability to fight head-on, our army should not be the opponent of the Great Sui army, not to mention the magical firearms of the Great Sui."

Prince He kept shaking his head and sighing, Murong Da also understood the gap between the two countries, and said to Prince He: "My opinion is that we should negotiate peace with the Great Sui as soon as possible, although the Great Sui is strong, but they are fighting in the east and the west, they simply don't have so much spare power to manage so many places, according to the news given to me by my friends in the Great Sui, the main purpose of the Great Sui this time is to let us reduce the collection of tariffs, so that the trade between the Western Regions and the Great Sui can circulate, not a conquest." ”

"Sir, is this true?"

"It's true, it's just that the King of Shu of the Great Sui who went out this time seems to want to fight, and all decisions are made by him."

"Can you contact him, sir? We may be able to make peace. ”

Murong Da was very worried and said, "But Your Highness, if we do this, the king will definitely not agree." ”

The crown prince looked sad: "But if it goes on like this, according to my father's attitude, this battle will be unavoidable, and now everyone in the court doesn't seem to be optimistic about fighting." ”

"The strength of the Great Sui is too strong, we can't win."

Looking at the prince who sighed before the fight started, Murong Da was a little helpless, this prince's character was too weak, and he had already admitted defeat without doing anything, even if he felt that the prince was so bad, even if he wanted to negotiate peace, at least he couldn't show so weakness.

A father who is too strong can often only teach a weak son, because in his life, he cannot be strong, and if he is strong, he can only be reprimanded and even beaten.

Now there are two ways in front of the crown prince, one is to directly rebel against Qualu, kill his father and become king, and then take the initiative to show goodwill to the Sui Dynasty.

Judging from the current situation in Tuyuhun's country, if he really rebels, there will be no fewer followers, but it also depends on whether he can suppress people himself.

The second is to obey Qualu, directly declare war with the Great Sui, and then talk about it.

There is no certain thing in a war, it does not mean that if the advantage is in him, he will definitely win.

Murong Da hoped that Taizi He would choose the first path, and Kwalu was not a qualified leader.

But Prince He made a choice that surprised him between the first and second paths analyzed by Murong Ke.

He chose the third path.
