After having dinner in Empress Xiao's bedroom, Zhang Bairen was on his way back to his house, when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves stepping on the street, rolling up bursts of dust, causing the people on the roadside to retreat.

"Border Emergency!"

"Border Emergency!"

Looking at the team of people in the distance, Zhang Bairen's brows furrowed: "Border Rush Report? Could it be that bastard who is about to move, thinking that Da Sui is weakened and has begun to make a move on Da Sui?"

Fingers lightly tapped on the desk, and Zhang Bairen slowly sat up. A pair of eyes looked at the night, but saw a burst of starlight dimming in the direction of the grassland, and a bright star suddenly fell, turning into a meteor and disappearing into the sky.

"Hmm, in the direction of the grassland?" Zhang Bairen frowned: "What happened? ”

midnight

Suddenly, he heard a rush of footsteps, and Xiaohu walked into the courtyard with a serious face: "My lord, the Khan of Qimin is dead!"

"Huh?" Zhang Bairen was stunned for a moment: "How did you die?"

Xiaohu shook his head, Zhang Bairen sat there in a daze, Qimin Khan is dead! The Qimin Khan of the steppe is dead.

The death of Qimin Khan is inseparable from Zhang Bairen, in the early years, Qimin Khan was severely injured by Yukuluo, and his bones turned into powder, if he hadn't been hung by elixir, he would have died a long time ago. Back then, Qimin Khan was hit by Zhang Bairen's immortal sword qi, but was forcibly suppressed by Qimin Khan relying on his golden body. With the transformation of the four sword fetuses of Zhuxian in Zhang Bairen's body into Dacheng, Qimin Khan finally couldn't suppress it, and was turned into powder by Zhuxian sword qi.

A sword qi distorted the void and burrowed into Zhang Bairen's body, returning to the divine fetus.

A string of information crossed his mind, and Zhang Bairen's heart was suddenly clear.

Qimin Khan was sick in bed, and after fifteen years of wind and rain, gradually wearing off his prestige of the year, someone finally gave him his last journey, and then went to see the king of Hades.

A generation of overlords, the soul is scattered!

Died under the sword of Zhu Xian, only the soul will be scattered.

"It's a pity!" Zhang Bairen sighed lightly.

Even Zhang Bairen had to sigh that the Qimin Khan was indeed a generation of male lords, who could crisscross the grassland and suppress the Western Turks to retreat one after another, and Wei Room and Khitan could not raise their heads, and deserved the title of the overlord of the grassland.

Fingers slowly tapped on the desk, Xiaohu said: "The grievances between the Lord and the Qimin Khan are well known, and in the past fifteen years, the Qimin Khan has mentioned the hatred of the Lord every day, and I have heard that the death of the Qimin Khan is strange, but I am afraid that the Turks will point the finger at the Governor in order to divert their attention." ”

"It doesn't matter, in the end it's the Central Plains, this is our territory, how many people will die!" Zhang Bairen sneered and slowly stood up: "Sleep peacefully tonight, and listen to the news tomorrow." ”

On the second day, there was no early dynasty, the Qimin Khan died, Yang Guang was very sad, and on the third day of the dynasty, he canonized his son Duji as the new Khan, that is, the Shibi Khan.

"Duji" Zhang Bairen looked at the secret report in his hand and was silent. If the Qimin Khan was afraid, surrendered, and trembling to the Great Sui, then the Shibi Khan was eager to try and was ambitious for the Central Plains.

"How to eliminate the hidden dangers of the grassland" Zhang Bairen frowned, got up and walked towards the palace.

"Yu Wenshu!

In front of the palace gate, Zhang Bairen looked at the embarrassed duo and suddenly frowned.

For Yun Dingxing's flattering and traitorous ministers, Zhang Bairen hated to kill him with a sword, but at this time and then, Yang Guang was very fond of Yu Wenshu and Yun Dingxing. I have to say that Yu Wenshu and Yun Dingxing are indeed very likable, and they continue to collect all kinds of novelties for Yang Guang, which is quite a saint's favor.

"I've seen the Grand Dudu!" Yu Wenshu hugged his fists and saluted, but Yun Dingxing on the side snorted, as if he didn't see Zhang Bairen, and looked into the distance with a pair of eyes.

Carefully looked at Yun Dingxing and Yu Wenshu, until the two of them were hairy, Zhang Bairen sighed lightly, turned around and walked into the palace.

Seeing Zhang Bairen walking away, Yun Dingxing snorted and chirped: "Isn't it just a little ability, what a lot of pride!"

"Zhang Dudu is the queen's person, he is covered by the queen, and he is loyal to the Great Sui, so he must not be neglected. Otherwise, if I cut you, there will be nowhere to reason" Yu Wenshu looked at Zhang Bairen's back, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Yun Dingxing hummed and chirped: "This kid has delicate skin, and he can enter and leave Yong'an Palace at will since he was a child, who knows if he has done anything to cause trouble in the palace." ”

"Shhhhh

"Me?" Yun Dingxing was shocked, he was just thinking about it in his heart before, how could he say it? Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise he would die today, and no one would be able to save him.

"Aren't you an evil sect today? I will ask for credit for you in front of Your Majesty later, you don't want to go wrong" Yu Wenshu was drenched in cold sweat.

Palace

Yang Guang is playing chess with someone.

The man opposite Zhang Bairen knows, isn't Yuan Tiangang the one else?

"How did Daoist Yuan enter His Majesty's eyes?" Zhang Bairen was stunned when he ascended the stairs.

Yuan Tiangang laughed, holding the black chess pieces in his hand: "Du Du is willing to serve His Majesty, why should he be poor and spare his own life!"

For Yuan Tiangang, the old fox, Zhang Bairen sneered in his heart, this fight must be unprofitable and cannot afford to be early.

"Why did Mr. get up so early today?" Yang Guang spoke, and the two of them set their eyes on Yang Guang.

"I heard that the Khan of Qimin is dead?" Zhang Bairen's face was solemn.

Yang Guang nodded: "The death was too sudden." ”

"How does Your Majesty plan to move?" Zhang Bairen looked at Yang Guang.

"What does Aiqing mean?" Yang Guang did not answer, but looked at Zhang Bairen.

"Of course, persimmons are soft and pinched! Tubo was in turmoil 15 years ago, and now it has just regained some vitality. And my Great Sui is surging inside" Zhang Bairen made a slight wording, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you attack Tubo and use our Great Sui force to foreign tribes." ”

In the future, even if there is civil strife in the Great Sui, Tubo will not be able to go south, alleviate the security of the border on the Great Sui side, and draw out some forces internally. Second, it can consume the strength of the major gate valve families, and the use of troops abroad will inevitably have to transfer the world's soldiers and horses, as long as Yang Guang gives an order, find an excuse to say that the major border gate soldiers cannot be used, and it is necessary to transfer the major gate valve families to protect the courtyard and private soldiers, and there is a lot to be done here. And you can also loot the property of the gate valve family by the way.

This is a ploy that can be counted in one fell swoop, and it is an upright conspiracy, now the Great Sui soldiers are in full swing, and the families of the gate lords dare not turn their faces, and turning their faces is the end of the whole family's death, they can only pinch their noses and admit that they will be beaten if they have no human rights, and this sentence is also applicable in ancient times.

"What Aiqing said is exactly what I want, I not only want to use troops against Tubo, but also to drive the army in person, and ask the strong people of the gate valve families to escort and follow, and then the strength of the gate valve families will be greatly weakened, so as to buy me time" Yang Guang's eyes were full of coldness.

In the final analysis, the imperial examination time is too short, only fifteen years, and now the Confucian attitude is ambiguous, the great Confucian king through seclusion in the mountains to study asceticism, the situation in the world is even more unpredictable.

Fortunately, there is engraving printing and papermaking, otherwise it will be a big trouble, and the court officials are completely controlled by the family of gate valves, even if they master the force, they can only be slowly played to death.

"Your Majesty Shengming" Zhang Bairen and Yuan Tiangang complimented in unison.

At this time, there was an inner servant Tongbing: "Your Majesty, Yu Wenshu and Yun Dingxing are waiting outside." ”

"Call them in!" Yang Guang disagreed.

"Yun Dingxing and Yu Wenshu are traitorous villains, they will only deceive their superiors and subordinates, and they will be well-behaved, and His Majesty should kill them with one sword, and relieve the hatred of the people of the world with the spirit of the court! Staying by his side will only ruin His Majesty's reputation, and he will be harmed by it in the future" Zhang Bairen interjected.

Yang Guang laughed when he heard this: "Aiqing is serious!"

"Your Majesty, the lower official retires" Zhang Bairen was too lazy to mix with villains like Yun Dingxing, and it was impossible to say bad things behind his back, so Zhang Bairen simply said goodbye and left.

Of course, Yang Guang couldn't really kill Yun Dingxing and Yu Wenshu! Zhang Bairen was just secretly taking some eye medicine, regardless of whether it was useful or not.

Knowing the Liang Zi between Zhang Bairen and Yu Wenshu and Yun Dingxing, Yang Guang just smiled and let Zhang Bairen leave. Yuan Tiangang's eyes flickered and he stood up: "Your Majesty, the lower official retires." ”

Yuan Tiangang caught up with Zhang Bairen, the two walked out of the gate side by side, and saw Yu Wenshu and Yun Dingxing standing on the side, Zhang Bairen frowned, Yang Guang didn't listen to him, what could he do?
