After the murderer was investigated, the emperor was furious.

When Yang Guang told the emperor that the murderer was Kong Sheng and Kong Bo, the emperor first confirmed it again to ensure that Yang Guang was not mistaken, and then ordered the extermination of the Kong family related to this matter, but because the Kong family has a special identity after all, the emperor did not make a big deal about the Yi clan, but the people in Kong Sheng Kong Bo's mansion were basically killed.

As a result, the assassination of the prince in Daxingcheng can be regarded as a temporary end.

Yang Guang's body recovered well, and he lay on the rocking chair and sighed lightly: "It's a pity, this incident didn't have a big impact on Yang Xiu, but it was really thanks to the fourth brother and daughter-in-law, the eldest grandson, and the women in the clan she invited were all insightful women, when Li Yuan went to the mansion at that time, he almost didn't do anything wrong, otherwise he would have a handle, and now if he catches a little mistake and misses the crime, it will be our East Palace." ”

Li Jing sat opposite Yang Guang and played chess, looked at the chessboard carefully, and picked up Yang Guang's words: "But this accident broke the arrogance and lasciviousness of His Royal Highness King Qin, which made His Majesty very angry, but it was a windfall that revoked the ownership of His Royal Highness King Qin, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain." ”

"Yes, I thought that the third brother was just simply arrogant and lascivious, but I didn't expect it to be so arrogant and lascivious, that fifty-six women at one time, and the wine pond meat forest of the king of Shang was nothing more than that, and it was divided into different age groups, even widows, it was really unheard of."

Yang Guang smiled lightly: "The third brother's style is really better than the eldest brother." ”

"The queen mother hates the prince's arrogance and lasciviousness the most, and His Royal Highness King Qin's move is tantamount to digging his own grave, and even the saint thinks that His Royal Highness King Qin is hopeless."

"It's an unexpected surprise, but it also makes Yang Xiu become a solo leader in the southern expedition, and his power is greater, and the southern expedition will be launched soon, Li Jing, what do you think we should do now?"

"Your Highness, you should practice for His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and in his departure ceremony, in the name of his brother and the crown prince, practice for him."

"Reasonable."

Half a month later, there was the southern expedition ceremony, the prince's assassination case was solved, and Daxing City returned to its former prosperity.

After resting for a long time, Yang Guang went to the court on the first day, entered the palace, and came to the second saint to salute respectfully: "The son of the minister to meet the father and the queen mother." ”

"Amo, look at your spirit has recovered, but people are still a little fatter."

"The queen mother, if she eats more and moves less every day, she will naturally gain weight, but the queen mother can rest assured that her son will definitely lose weight as soon as possible."

The emperor nodded: "Well, although the rich state is good, but you are a young man now, you should be young, and the wounds have recovered?" ”

"You can't move drastically, ordinary things are fine, and you should be able to fully recover in half a month."

The emperor stroked his beard with satisfaction: "Mr. Sun's medical skills have really reached the realm of transformation, and the knife from that wound is terrifying when I look at it for the first time." ”

"Worried my father."

"It's okay, what happened to your third brother this time is really a big disappointment for me."

Yang Guang appropriately pleaded: "Father, the third brother is still young, and he was tempted by others to do extravagant things, after all, it is still excusable, and the flow of the long history around him should be replaced. ”

"He should be taught a good lesson, you are so good as an elder brother, and among my children, only you and the fourth child can help me share some of the burdens now, alas, ......"

"Father's fourth brother will definitely be victorious when he goes on this expedition."

"I heard that you asked the firearms workshop to step up the manufacture of artillery for this southern expedition, and you did a good job, with the style of the prince of the Great Sui."

"It's all the sons and daughters who should be."

After Yang Guang was promoted to the crown prince, Yang Jian did feel a lot easier, and Yang Guang would help him share many things.

Yang Jian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Prince, the King of Shu will be your right-hand man in the future." ”

"The fourth brother is virtuous, and the sons should help him a lot, and the fourth brother went on the expedition this time, and the sons also prepared some gifts for him."

"Oh? What is it? ”

"Father, you'll find out later."

Yang Guang also sold a little bit of a pass.

When the sun rose, the palace gate opened, and hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides.

The morning light was pervasive, the golden light was scattered, a black horse at the gate of the palace came slowly, and Yang Xiu, who was wearing gold armor, walked towards the palace with the posture of a young general, holding the Great Sui military flag majestically.

A team of guards all rode horses, everyone wore iron armor, and the sound of horses' hooves was majestic.

Bullfighting spirit, majestic wind through the void.

Seeing this situation, Yang Guang couldn't help but think of the time when he went out to conquer the Turks, the appearance of such a young general was the highest pursuit of the young man of China.

Yang Xiu rode to the front of the steps, turned over and dismounted, and strode up the steps to the front of the emperor, when the voice of the eunuch sounded.

"Yang Xiu, the king of Shu of the Great Sui, is dignified, intelligent and quick-witted, and is now canonized as the generalissimo of the Southern Expedition of the Great Sui, taking charge of the military affairs of the Southern Expedition of the Great Sui, and will set off on the same day, the southern expedition to the Chen Dynasty, unify the Central Plains, and show the Great Sui!"

Yang Xiu immediately knelt on the ground: "Erchen, take the order." ”

The emperor stretched out his hand to help Yang Xiu, the eunuch next to him knelt on the ground and held a knife in both hands, Yang Jian handed the knife to Yang Xiu, and smiled loudly: "King Neng Zheng of Shu, this time I wish you a victory, take down Nanchen as soon as possible, this knife is called Bingzi Jiaolin, it is my saber, give it to you today, order the whole army, take Nanchen directly, and strengthen the prestige of Sui Guowei." ”

Yang Xiu excitedly took over the Bingzi Pepper Forest, this is Yang Jian's matching sword symbolizing imperial power, even the former crown prince Yang Yong and the former prince Yang Guang have never held this sword, and now Yang Jian has handed over all this sword to his own hands.

Yang Guang understood that this symbolized Yang Jian's determination to unify the Central Plains, and the last and most crucial step of this ambitious and ambitious emperor to dominate the world was taken at this moment.

Yang Guang had imagined countless times that he was the one who fought this battle, but by mistake, it backfired, and as a prince, he stood by the emperor's side like a civil official at this time and watched his younger brother lead the army.

"Erchen, Yang Xiu, take the order."

The emperor then said, "Prince, didn't you say that there was a surprise for the fourth child? ”

Yang Xiu looked at Yang Guang in surprise, Yang Guang walked in front of him and said to Yang Xiu: "Fourth brother, you are fighting for the country, as an elder brother, I am not feeling well now, and I can't help you with anything." ”

"Brother Huang, you are in poor health, how dare your brother bother Brother Huang, Brother Huang can rest assured that he will wait for his brother to triumph."

"Fourth brother, I have prepared three gifts for you."

"The first one, fourth brother, look."

Following Yang Guang's fingers, Yang Xiu looked towards the gate of the palace, and at this time, a neighing sound of horses came from the gate of the palace, and all the civil and military officials couldn't help but look in that direction.

Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Qiong rode in on a red-maned fierce horse.

The horse is tall and straight, with smooth and shiny fur and strong muscles, and its eyes are firm and bright, exuding confidence and perseverance.

The red hair shone in the sunlight, like a fire.

Yang Guang introduced Yang Xiu: "This horse was purchased from the Turks, a horse and a thousand gold, in the afterglow of the sunset like a flame burning, the hair is soft, the day is not thousands of miles, I named him Crimson Storm, and it will belong to you in the future." ”

It can't be too shabby to give it away and it is a public send-off, this horse was indeed purchased at a high price, and it cost a lot of money, and I feel distressed.

Seeing the red-maned horse, Yang Xiu also smiled, these celebrities and magnates in Daxing City, women compare jewelry and clothing, and men are more complicated, everything is compared, among them, horses, calligraphy and painting are the most, one is a text, one is a martial arts.

Therefore, the price of horses, especially excellent horses, in Daxing City has soared year after year, and the famous families in Daxing City have become, and they can't do without horses.

also made a ranking of famous horses, among which Yang Guang's red-maned fierce horse ranked first.

In fact, this was not Yang Guang's own doing, but Hasayaqi, she likes to ride horses and is good at riding, so Yang Guang waved his hand and bought her this precious horse.

Yang Guang now that his injury is healed, and Hasayaqi's riding skills have also been played, so he first borrowed flowers from this horse to offer Buddha.

Yang Xiuxi smiled: "Thank you, Brother Huang." ”

"Then comes the second gift."

Yang Guang still pointed in the direction of the palace gate, and with everyone's sight, the neighing of several horses came again, and this time it was not a top famous horse like a red-maned fierce horse, but an ordinary horse, but they all carried a small cannon behind them, with a soldier.

Yang Xiu and everyone else didn't understand what this thing was.

"Father, fourth brother, this is the latest small artillery carriage developed by the firearms battalion against Nan Chen."

"Once we attack Nanchen, we have warships and large artillery, and it is advantageous to attack the city, but Nanchen is mountainous, and it is difficult to transfer large artillery, and warships cannot be driven, so I believe that in addition to large cities, we need this kind of small artillery carriages that are fast, lightweight, and can be operated by one or two people when attacking small cities with many mountains."

Yang Guang continued: "The power of this small artillery carriage is naturally not as good as that of a large artillery carriage, but the city wall defense of small and medium-sized cities cannot be compared with that of a large city. ”

The Emperor smiled and said, "Very good, very good." ”

He could see that Yang Guang was sincerely and fully supporting the Southern Expedition.

Yang Guang then said: "Fourth brother, there is one last gift, do you want to guess what it is?" ”

"Brother Huang, my brother is stupid, I really can't guess."

"What I just gave you is a weapon to fight a small city, Nanchen's capital is a giant city with the same name as Daxing City, and it is not a matter of morning or night to capture it, so I have prepared some things for this."

Similarly, everyone looked at the gate of the imperial city, and at this time, everyone got close and felt a burst of shaking on the ground, Yang Guang said to the emperor: "Father, take a look at the palace gate." ”

"What's that, such a big movement?"

"Father, let's go to Miyagi and have a look."

Yang Guang took Yang Jian, Yang Xiu and hundreds of civil and military officials to the palace city, and looked outside the palace, and everyone was stunned.

Three huge cannons that had never been seen before appeared on Suzaku Street, and the barrels were enough to fit two people.

Such a large cannon is scary enough just to be placed there, and everyone who has seen the power of the cannon has already begun to make up the power of this cannon when they see this large barrel.

Yang Guang originally wanted to build a more powerful artillery, but due to the current technology and his ignorance of real modern artillery, he could only start to go in another direction.

That's the heap of material.

Big is good, more is beautiful.

Li Chun and other craftsmen made this super cannon in order to build a siege cannon that was in line with Yang Guang's idea.

After testing, the power of this giant cannon is indeed very huge, but the distance of its bombardment is not far, and it is very troublesome to load and unload, and it takes a long time to fire a round, and it is impossible to accurately control the landing direction of the gun.

Originally, Li Chun and the others were quite disappointed, but after Yang Guang saw it, he felt that it was okay, this kind of power did not exist for the current city gate, there was no second shot.

Human social experience tells us that as long as you are coarse enough, then all problems will be solved.

These weapons were all ordered by Yang Guang to be built for his own southern expedition, and they didn't come in handy, since they can't be used, it's better to set a good example, today is Yang Xiu's departure ceremony, but he is the one who is in the limelight, and the emperor is more satisfied with him.

Seeing such a huge cannon, the soldiers present felt that the capture of Nanchen was just around the corner.

This is the advantage of the military parade, and this is just a display of such weapons, if you pull out the weapons one by one and review them, the morale must be even greater.

The Emperor smiled happily, and it was rare to see him smile so heartily.

"Good, good, good, good, well done."

The ministers shouted one after another: "Your Majesty is blessed, the prince is blessed." ”

At this time, Yang Xiucai, who had just received Yang Guang's gift, reacted, how could the ministers begin to praise Yang Guang for the departure ceremony he had prepared, and unconsciously attracted everyone's attention to Yang Guang.

But he couldn't grab it, because the prince was so generous to give him such three big gifts.

And after seeing the giant cannon and other things, will the ministers think that even if they defeat Nan Chen in the future, most of the credit is actually due to these firearms drummed up by the prince.

This made Yang Xiu very angry.

"Father, son-in-law will immediately go on the expedition, and it is determined that the father will go south to unify the world."

Yang Xiu couldn't wait to lead the troops to the battle, lest he wonder if Yang Guang had other means next.

The emperor was just about to give the order to go on the expedition, but the eunuch on the side hurriedly walked up and whispered, "Your Majesty, hurry up for a thousand miles!" ”

The emperor glanced at him, he was the most powerful eunuch by his side, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't have been unaware of such a time, no matter what news he had to wait for.

Looking at his extremely anxious appearance, Yang Jian still asked with a little doubt and dissatisfaction: "What's the matter, tell me quickly." ”

"Your Majesty, Nan Chen, it's down!!"
