At the beginning of the new year, the city of Daxing was still full of people, and the two battles could not affect the lively capital of the Great Sui Emperor.

The emperor didn't know what interest he was today, so he moved out of the dragon chair and sat on the top floor of the newly built tower, overlooking the entire Daxing City.

The eunuch trembled and said, "Your Majesty, this place is too high and too dangerous, so you better go down earlier." ”

"You see, I asked the craftsmen to build the tower so high to worship the ancestral tablets, and I want the ancestors to see how prosperous my Great Sui was."

"Your Majesty, this is too high, little scared."

Yang Jian smiled: "How high is this, and it will be even higher in the future." ”

"Your Majesty Hongfu must be the greatest emperor in the world."

"How come you get to a high place and even lose the skill of flattering and patting horses?"

The eunuch was very embarrassed, but he was really afraid of heights, and he was always distracted to look down, and the more he looked, the more afraid he became.

Yang Jian asked: "How is the war in Tuyuhun?" ”

"Back to ...... Returning to His Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Shu was brave and led the army into the capital of Tuyuhun, and the king of Tuyuhun was forced to abandon the city and flee. ”

"What about people, have people been killed?"

"No one has been found."

Yang Jian sighed lightly: "It's a pity, as long as that person is still alive, he will definitely be entangled in the resurgence of the army, the Tuyuhun area is vast and sparsely populated, if you want to find them, it is also very difficult, I am afraid that it will have a certain impact on the caravan of merchants in the future, and the order of the king of Shu will find a way to catch the remnants and clear them together." ”

"Your Majesty, what should you do with His Royal Highness the King of Shu?"

"Let him govern Tuyuhun and Tuyuhun, and he will also be in charge of all the caravans between the Great Sui and the Western Regions."

In charge of commercial matters, this is also a fat difference, after all, the trade between the Western Regions and the Great Sui is becoming more and more developed, and it was Tuyuhun who collected a large amount of tolls in the middle that caused the contradictions between the two countries.

Of course, this fat gap is also a troublesome matter, and ethnic contradictions have always been difficult to deal with.

Yang Jian asked again: "What's going on over there in Goguryeo?" ”

"After the King of Jin attacked the hinterland of Goguryeo with a strange strategy, the movement in the past three months was much smaller, and there were several battles on the border and near Lelang City, with victories and defeats, but victory was the mainstay, and the border area was already approaching Liaodong City, and now Goguryeo is tired of coping."

Yang Jian sighed: "Amour's temperament seems to be much more mature than before, watching him fight, steady and steady, without any rash greed, the king of Shu fought this battle quickly, but the aftermath is also big, the king of Jin has a feeling of going towards the destruction of the country and the species, and the battle of destroying the country is serious." ”

"And that Li Jing, I didn't like this kid very much before, and I always felt that he was too arrogant, but Amour valued him very much." As he spoke, the corners of Yang Jian's mouth couldn't help but smile.

"I didn't expect this kid to be really good now, the battle of crossing the sea, the news came back to the court, and the military attachés in Beijing have studied it for a long time, it is a strange plot, but to do such a thing across the sea, Li Jing does have a different ability from ordinary people to lead troops, maybe it is what people say is a natural handsome talent, he is still so young, with the experience of leading troops this time, the future is limitless."

The eunuch complimented: "Your Majesty, I rarely hear you praise people like this. ”

"Really? I remember I liked to praise people. ”

The eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it was the slave who remembered it wrongly. ”

Yang Jian stood up and said: "The New Year is coming again, the Goguryeo side can't march in winter, and the Jin king's offensive has stopped, but as the commander, you still have to stay at the front line, how is the situation of the princess of Jin recently?" ”

"The princess has Mr. Sun's escort, she takes the pulse of the princess every day, everything is fine, the queen sends people to send supplements every once in a while, and now the princess's belly is gradually getting bigger."

Yang Jian asked casually: "What about the other ladies in the house?" ”

The eunuch's eyes rolled and he said slipperyly: "In the palace of the king of Jin, even if the princess is pregnant, she is very orderly, and the slaves and maids in the palace are very obedient. ”

"That's a peace of mind." said and smiled helplessly: "The queen is really eccentric and undisguised, when the crown princess was pregnant, she just did some superficial work, and now the princess of Jin is pregnant like a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." ”

Regarding Queen Dugu's eccentricity, the emperor naturally saw it, but he also understood the reason for the queen's eccentricity.

asked the eunuch beside him: "The queen is so partial to Princess Jin, what objections do everyone have?" ”

The eunuch looked embarrassed: "The slave maid didn't hear about it. ”

"Oh? So why do you think so? ”

"Your Majesty, the slave and the maid said a word that should not be said, the slave and the maid can't be in person, so there is no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to worry about, but the slave and the maid look at the princes and ministers, whose mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship does not seem to be very easy to get along with, listen to a few good people in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should be dealt with well, mother-in-law is in Germany, daughter-in-law is in line, the queen is highly respected, and Princess Jin is kind and gentle, so she can be so harmonious."

Yang Jian smiled embarrassedly: "You are really a bystander, and what you say is reasonable." ”

"Where's the third stinky boy?"

"After you named His Royal Highness the King of Qin as the assassin of Luozhou, now His Royal Highness the King of Qin is doing his best to govern Luozhou, and most of the news that came back praised His Royal Highness the achievements of the King of Qin."

"Hmph, what is not good to learn, learn the fourth set of reporting good news and not bad news, adding oil and vinegar to the reporting method, although the fourth likes to exaggerate his own merits, but that is really meritorious, how many pounds and taels does the third child have and can I still not figure it out? As far as her ability to hold on to three melons and two dates, she will not make a mess if she breaks the sky. ”

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Yang Jian knows the skills of his sons very well.

After asking about these things, Yang Jian walked downstairs, and said as he walked: "Let the Ministry of Rites prepare, the matter of Taishan Fengzen still has to be done, but after the unification of Nanchen, I am ready to do it first, so as not to be overwhelmed when I get it." ”

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid will go and command."

"Attention, low-key."

"No."

Yang Jian came to Queen Dugu's palace and saw Queen Dugu alone.

"Why does Your Majesty have time to come here today?"

"It's the New Year's Festival, but this New Year's Festival should be the most deserted in history."

"Your Majesty, the city outside is very lively."

"Yes, the city is lively, but our family is not lively, the second child went to Goguryeo, the third child went to Luozhou, and the fourth child was in Tuyuhun, and unconsciously sent out everything that his sons could send."

Empress Dugu seemed to understand what he wanted to say, personally poured tea for the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, doesn't this just show that you and the sons of your concubines are very powerful, and they can all take charge of their own affairs, share worries for Your Majesty, Your Majesty should be happy, you can't be together this year's New Year's Festival, and the year after next year, the world is peaceful, and you can spend it together every year." ”

The emperor said: "This year's New Year's Festival, call the children in the imperial city to come together, and it can't be too lonely." ”

"Lao Wu and Lihua live close, and the concubine will inform them."

From beginning to end, the queen didn't mention the name of the prince, Yang Jian was about to speak, and Queen Dugu said suggestively: "Your Majesty, the children of you and your concubines are so good, they should be the best, people say that tiger poison does not eat children, and children can't let him lose their lives if they make mistakes, but Your Majesty, do you remember what happened when Yunluo fell into a female doll?" ”

The emperor did not speak.

"The concubine has been thinking about it for a long time these days, comparing her heart to her heart, the concubine never thought that a woman could fall to death her doll, so when she fell to death the female doll, the concubine never doubted it, but now think about it, a madman can't do anything, and then the princess's matter ......"

Queen Dugu couldn't go on, and after being silent for a long time, she continued: "Your Majesty, you have built a tower to worship your ancestors, and your ancestors are watching from the top of this imperial city. ”

Ordinary people always have feelings for their eldest son that other children can't match, but what happened to their eldest son is irreparable.

These words also made the emperor completely cut off his thoughts: "Let the prince move out of the East Palace and return to the original prince's mansion to live in the future." ”

"Your Majesty, Shengming."

……

After another March, after the beginning of spring, Yang Guang united with the Silla people and began to carry out a high-intensity attack on Goguryeo.

Years of conquest made the economic situation in Goguryeo very bad, before Yang Yong led the army, although they won the Great Sui, but still damaged the national strength, now Yang Guang's only national policy, for a time made the entire Goguryeo people panic, coupled with last year's poor harvest of grain, now the grain is insufficient.

Because he cut into Goguryeo from the sea, the place occupied by the people who came to Hu'er and led people to occupy it was nominally called Shinhan, and after receiving Yang Guang's order, Yi Jing immediately sent people to contact the two countries of Silla and Baekje, which were entrenched in the southern part of the peninsula.

One is that when Pei Shiqing sent an envoy to the two countries before, these two countries were not very sensible, and they had to ensure that their rear was worry-free, and if the people of Silla Baekje were attacking the cross-sea troops of the Great Sui now, it would be the Great Sui being flanked left and right.

Second, compared with the contradiction with the Great Sui, the contradiction between Silla Baekje and Goguryeo was a feud, so after Li Jing sent an envoy to Silla, the Silla people immediately expressed their willingness to send troops to help, attack Goguryeo together, and recapture their homeland.

It is their own statement to regain their homeland, and no one can say who belongs to such a big place, anyway, such a statement can be regarded as famous.

The Silla people sent Kim Shu-hyun to lead a total of 5,000 troops to fight with the army of the Great Sui.

However, Li Jing felt that such a mix of troops, language barriers, and different concepts, could not be well integrated in a short period of time, but would greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the two sides, and after consulting Yang Guang, he canonized Jin Shuxuan as the general of Silla, and let him lead his own soldiers, accept orders alone, and cooperate with tactics.

Under such circumstances, they quickly occupied the southern part of Goguryeo, and the south of Lelang City was basically occupied by the Great Sui and Silla.

Seeing that the Silla army had eaten meat with the Great Sui army, the Baekje people also moved their minds and immediately came to the Great Sui army to say that they were also going to join the war.

Our Great Sui people have always been negotiable, so we agreed to their request to join the war.

There is a lot of help for the righteous, and there is little help for the unjust, and friends have to do a lot, although they are only friends in terms of interests, but they are also friends.

Goguryeo's self-proclaimed ally, the Khitan, did nothing when they were in such a difficult situation, and even stationed troops on the border with Goguryeo, there seemed to be signs of gaining momentum.

The interests of the country are above everything else, in order to help a declining Goguryeo to offend the now strong Sui, for the Khitans, they are not stupid.

The front-line Yin World Division was pressing forward step by step, and Yang Guang also came to Shandong to join Li Jing to check his navy.

At this time, the navy was intensifying its training, because seeing how powerful the navy was, the emperor also waved his hand and made every effort to cultivate the navy, and began to form a naval army on a large scale.

The navy under Li Jing's command has grown from less than 20,000 at the beginning to nearly 100,000 now.

Of course, it is impossible for all 100,000 people to be trained here, and they are divided into several places for training, and the most important of them is landing operations.

Li Jing took Yang Guang to inspect the troops, and said: "Your Highness, with this experience, in the future, when we attack Nanchen, we will directly use the navy to drop troops on a large scale along the coast, directly carry out landing operations, and go deep into the enemy's hinterland. ”

Li Jing was obviously inspired by this method of landing operations, and burst out with countless possibilities for combat.

Yang Guang was very satisfied with this, and said to Li Jing: "Li Jing, the naval drill cannot be left behind, Goguryeo is only a trial for us, and what we really want to attack is Nanchen and contribute to the unification of the Central Plains." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, if it weren't for Goguryeo's drag, I think we could do it to Nan Chen now, although Nan Chen's national strength is much stronger than Goguryeo, but it will still not be our opponent."

Yang Guang sat down and said, "I came to discuss with you today to discuss the news from Yang Xuangan's side." ”

Before Yang Xuangan was sent out by Yang Guang to collect the family, and by the way, the canal was also done, Yang Guang was very satisfied, after visiting several major families, Yang Xuangan went to Youzhou, and then returned to Daxing City.

"Your Highness, what did Brother Xuangan tell you?"

"He said in detail about the visit to the four major families, and now these big families, seeing that I am gaining momentum, and have a good opportunity, Yang Xuangan is also quite sincere when he comes to the door, and he can be regarded as bringing together some people, what I care more about than this is that Yang Xuangan met Fang Shi."

Li Jing didn't believe these things very much, and asked with a slight frown: "Your Highness, is the Fang Shi you are talking about referring to the Fang Shi who was the Lord of the World who first sealed Mount Tai?" ”

Yang Guang nodded.

"What did the priest say later?"

"Yang Xuangan said, I saw Fang Shi once, and I saw it through the curtain, and the Fang Shi only said that he would come to me in the spring after the new year, but he didn't know how to come and what he looked like."

"Your Highness, these people are chattering, and there are not a few words of truth in their mouths, so Your Highness doesn't have to believe it."

"Definitely, I think this guy seems to have something, Li Yuan has sent news, my father is still preparing for the matter of sealing Mount Tai, and it seems that he also attaches great importance to this matter."
