The night breeze ran through the eaves of the palace, the red lanterns hanging high swayed gently with candles, and in the paper windows with the firelight, above the main hall, Yang Guang issued edicts one after another.

"Draw up an edict to Zhongshu Province, send someone to imprison Murong Shun, the prince of Tuyuhun, and prepare the grain and straw for the three armies. ”

“...... Let them bypass Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, who dares to leak half a word in advance, I will behead him!"

"By the way, let the scholars outside publicize the prestige of the Sui State, arouse public opinion, and help me to go west!"

The bronze lampposts on both sides of the main hall swayed the flames, and in the flickering light, there were two figures kneeling and quietly listening to the holy will above, and when they heard the western expedition to Tuguhun, the two trembled.

"That's all for now, go down. Yang Guang waved away the eunuch who led the order, got up and went out of the dragon case, walked down the imperial steps step by step, came to the kneeling two, and waved the dragon sleeves: "King Gaochang, Yiwu envoy, you two get up." ”

"Yes!"

The two of them responded in unison, wiped the cold sweat on their faces without a trace, and got up respectfully, among which Qu Boya, the king of Gaochang, spoke in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Gaochang has always been bullied by Tuyuhun, Your Majesty wants to conquer, Gaochang Guo should respond, but it's just ....."

Yang Guangguang flicked his sleeves, interrupted King Gaochang who was talking on the other side, turned around and walked to the imperial steps, walked up a section and turned around, "Tuyuhun brought the Turkic and Yiwu national teachers into my Great Sui tributary, just to lose face, if it wasn't for my national teachers to rush back in time, wouldn't they have succeeded? ! ”

With his hands clapped on the handrail, the emperor's beard standing on the imperial steps was furious, and the sound shook the hall.

"When did my Great Sui fall to the point of letting a Western Barbarian State bully him, if he didn't fight back, he would be the Son of Heaven in vain!"

Below, the Yiwu envoy standing on the side of King Gaochang suddenly knelt on the ground, his body trembling.

"Your Majesty, I, Yiwu, didn't want to fall into the heavens and make a pilgrimage, but I was coerced by Tuyuhun and had to come, and I, King Yiwu, was worried about angering the heavenly kingdom, so I sent an ordinary stranger to disguise himself as a national teacher......"

Hahaha!

Yang Guang looked at him and laughed, walked back to the two of them, and personally helped the Yiwu envoy up, "The envoy doesn't have to be afraid, I know the hardships of King Yiwu, you see that this time you and I still have Gaochang, the three kingdoms join forces, you can take revenge, I can be angry, why not, right?"

Stretched out his hand and tidied the other party's collar, and patted his trembling shoulder: "Also, even if Yiwu sent your family's real national teacher, it is not my opponent of the national teacher of Lu." ”

As he spoke, Yang Guang withdrew his hand and turned his back to face Long Ting, turned his back to the two and said, "The two of you will send someone back to China when you go back tonight to discuss this matter." ”

The lamp shook for a moment, and the emperor raised his arm and stretched out a finger: "Remember, I am patient, no matter whether the two soldiers and horses arrive as promised, I will send troops to Tuguhun!"

Yang Guang turned around, a smile appeared on his face again, and he smiled and stretched out his arms to walk over the shoulders of the two of them and walked to the palace gate.

"Isn't it scared of the two of you? I have only been on the throne for two years, my foundation is unstable, there are enemies above and below, I need a battle record, and I hope that the two of you will help me a lot. ”

Looking at the emperor of the Sui State for a while, Qu Boya, the king of Gaochang, and the envoy of Yiwu were terrified when they heard it, and they couldn't figure out the emperor's temperament at all, so they went out of the palace and nodded their hands again and again.

"Your Majesty rest assured, after returning to the post house, I will send an envoy back to the Western Regions overnight to gather soldiers and horses to help Your Majesty!"

"With these words, I am relieved. ”

"Your Majesty stays. ”

The two bowed down, slowly retreated a few steps, and then turned around and went down the stone steps made of white rock, Yang Guang watched them be led away by the guards, the smile on his face gradually became cold, he snorted in his mouth, walked back to the main hall, and then dealt with the twists and turns.

Outside the slowly closed hall door, a pair of eyes looked in the dark, and soon, a piece of news quietly flowed out of the imperial city and passed it as quickly as possible.

The long street of the Baiguan Mansion, the most prominent and dazzling mansion, the red lanterns are hung high, there are soldiers holding weapons outside the gate to guard, inside the red gate, the brightly lit front yard wing, and the lights are on, the moths are popping against the paper lampshade, under the warm yellow lamplight, the old man holds a pen to write a letter of exhortation.

Outside the door, footsteps sounded, and the servant's voice came outside: "Master Qiqi, there is news from the palace." ”

"Come in. ”

Yang Su didn't raise his head, his eyes were fixed on the handwriting outlined by the tip of the pen, the door creaked open, and the servant of the report came in, gently closed the door, held a folded paper in both hands, carefully put the corner of the table, and bowed and retreated outside.

Under the lamplight, the old man at the desk stopped the tip of his pen and looked at the message lying on the side, "Your Majesty, what do you want to do?" ”

With a low groan, he put the pen aside from the inkstone, took the paper in his hand and unfolded it, his half-squinted eyes suddenly froze, and the message in his hand was crumpled into a ball and thrown to the ground.

With a bang, the flames ignited and burned to ashes.

"Your Majesty, this is to emulate the previous emperor. In the slowly rising green smoke, Yang Su leaned on the back of the chair and whispered, then laughed again, slapped his palm, and rolled the green cigarette to the open window lattice.

"It's okay, the old man will turn a blind eye this time, let His Majesty show his talents, if he can sharpen it, the old man will be worthy of his brother. ”

After thinking about it, I looked at the exhortation on the table again, and there was no need to write it down, so I gently closed it and threw it into the hall together, igniting the flames.

Walking out of the study, the night sky was already white unconsciously, and Yang Su didn't feel sleepy, so he simply returned to the back house and changed into an official robe to prepare for today's morning dynasty.

Soon after, the golden morning light pushed through the darkness of the streets and alleys, and extended to the west of the city, on the road leading to the Western Regions, and in the distance, among the caravans, eight big men walked side by side, looking in the direction of the giant city.

Ding Ding Ding ~~~

Behind the eight people, there is an old donkey walking slowly, on the shaking bookshelf, the little song is humming from time to time, the scholar sitting on the back of the donkey, looking through a few books brought out from the five-color village with relish, although it is not a spell, but for the Confucian Haoran, it has obvious benefits.

"It's not bad to go to Wujiang Mountain again and move all the books back to Wanshouguan, so that you can read books and pass the time when you have nothing to do, right, Master?"

The inquiring asked to go to the bookshelf, and seeing that there was no response, Lu Liangsheng leaned down and opened a small door gap, and the toad Taoist was sleeping with the quilt wrapped in a quilt, feeling the wind blowing in from outside, and the outstretched flippers rubbed twice, and retracted into the quilt.

'It's not autumn yet. ’

It was probably because I thought that I would fight with the monkey that day, and it took a lot of mana to come out of the boundless mountain and fall asleep all the way.

'It's almost time to Chang'an, and I promised that the monkey should also do it, but I don't know if there will be a mess. ’

Along the official road, on the back of the swaying donkey, Lu Liangsheng looked at the outline of the city wall in front of him, and the long queue had lined up to enter the city.

However, after entering the city, Lu Liangsheng had not yet come out of his mind about the promise to the monkey, but he faintly felt that there was some subtle atmosphere in the city.

One or two groups of forbidden soldiers could be seen passing by on the street.
