Monument Yangmen

Chapter 932 The Inescapable War

Inside the imperial study.

Yang Qi looked at his dark and thin son standing in front of him with a dazed expression.

In a blink of an eye, the beard on the corner of his son's mouth grew, and he realized that he had become a middle-aged man.

Yang Qi knows what his son has experienced outside these years.

Although Yang Qi felt pity for his son for making him dark and thin, his face was still cold.

"found it?"

"found it!"

"That's good, go to the harem to see your mother, and from tomorrow onwards, come with me to watch the government."

"My son obeys the order."

Father and son are not like father and son, but more like a pair of monarchs and ministers.

Yang Qi has no experience in teaching a son, and Yang Qi has no experience in teaching a prince.

He can only cultivate Yang Zongwei by his own groping.

At the age when he should play and study, Yang Qi let him play and study.

When he grew up, Yang Qi became more and more strict with him.

Because Yang Zongwei shouldered a heavier burden.

If Yang Qi can't teach him well, it's not the Yang family who will suffer in the end, but the people of the entire Great Yan Kingdom.

Yang Qi has read many books about the concept of governing the country by the inner sage and the outer king, but each of them is very general.

He can only rely on his own experience to make his son a qualified emperor.

So many people in the palace can see and feel it.

Yang Qi has double standards when treating his eldest son and second son.

He was very strict with his eldest son, but very tolerant with his second son.

After Yang Zongwei bowed to Yang Qi, he left the imperial study.

He was unwilling to see his father treat him like this, but he could understand.

After several years of hard work, he has served as a small official, county magistrate, army supervisor, and even toured various places as an inspector.

He has been everywhere from south to north.

He has seen poverty, seen riches, suffered hardships, and enjoyed riches.

He has seen the barbarians trembling under the iron hooves of the Yan army, and he has also seen an official in an important position who often goes to help the common people with labor.

He has seen the poverty and laziness of the barbarians, and the wealth and hard work of the Yan people.

He also understood the meaning of the slap his father gave him after he killed some slave hunters.

At the beginning, he once suspected that Yang Qi didn't like him, and planned to pass the throne to his favored second brother.

He has written many times to verify this matter with his mother.

There is only one answer.

Those in high positions carry heavier burdens than others.

After Yang Zongwei returned to the harem, he first went to visit his grandmother, the queen mother She Saihua, and under She Saihua's distressed eyes, he went to the queen's palace to visit the queen mother.

The two people who loved him the most were crying.

But no one said that it was wrong for Yang Qi to do so.

Early the next morning.

There is a small desk in Qianyuan Hall.

Its location is not near the front, and even a little remote.

But no one ignored its existence, because sitting behind it was a thin and black young man.

The appearance of youth heralds many things.

He foreshadowed that the rumors of brothers dying and brothers succeeding each other will be self-defeating.

He also foretells that the tyrannical Yan Kingdom will finally have a crown prince.

Yang Zongwei saw many familiar figures in the court hall.

Liu Yong, Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng and other friends he has been familiar with since childhood.

In the past few years when Yang Zongwei went out to practice, everyone has not been idle.

Relying on their extraordinary abilities, they all entered the imperial court one after another.

It's just that there are some deviations from Yang Zongwei's imagination.

Liu Yong, who is a master of both poetry and poetry, has now joined the education department. The pen and ink he swayed the famous novels has now become the pen for writing gorgeous educational texts.

Bao Zheng, who has a delicate mind, has studied criminals and prisons intensively, and has participated in the cracking of many major cases.

Yan Shu has a special liking for the law, and he has already helped Yan Guo change three laws.

Ouyang Xiu followed Su Yijian and became his secretary.

……

"When~"

After the Admiralty Bell rang.

Yang Qi was greeted by all the officials and entered the Qianyuan Hall.

Wait until all the officials salute.

Yang Qi went straight to the point and began to explain the management of the newly included land in the Northeast.

From the beginning to the end, Yang Qi did not introduce Yang Zongwei to Baiguan, so that Baiguan could get to know him again.

After the next dynasty.

When Yang Zongwei was about to pounce on him to reminisce with his old friends, Kou Zhun appeared in front of him.

"follow me."

Yang Zongwei was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why.

Kou Zhun said: "Your Majesty has an order that for the past six months, after you go down to court every day, you must follow me to the Haiguan Yamen."

With a bitter face, Yang Zongwei shook his head at Liu Yong and the others who had already walked over, and then followed Kou Zhun to leave Qianyuan Hall.

After Liu Yong and the others were stunned for a moment, they shook their heads and left Qianyuan Hall with a smile.

There are many yamen in Yan State.

Far more than the Tang and Song Dynasties.

But the number of officials used is far less than that of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Every official and post has something to do.

Except for some special officials who will be given certain special titles during special periods.

For the rest of the time, all the officials can only have one official position on their heads.

Those officials who are idle and vain will not appear in the court.

They basically all ate at home and waited to die.

If you want to go to court, unless you show your real skills, you can't even enter the gate of Qianyuan Hall.

After years of repeated reforms by Yang Qi, it has been perfected.

The yamen in the court of Yan State has been perfected.

The highest Yamen is Sange.

They are wealth, power, and military.

Under their jurisdiction are the various ministries.

And so on.

Yang Qi needs Yang Zongwei to visit the middle-level yamen and the highest three pavilions within five years.

Yang Zongwei started his experience of walking in various yamen with his head sullen.

……

Two months passed in a flash.

As expected by Yang Qi, the war between Yan and Shu did not start in the end.

Cao Can boldly invited back Cao Wei who was in the Maurya Dynasty.

Under Cao Wei's persuasion, Cao Bin gave up his plan to attack Yan.

The two countries of Yan and Shu began a war of words that lasted for several years.

Cao Bin asked Yang Qi for his grandson, but Yang Qi pushed back and forth.

The scolding war escalated frequently.

The two sides are gearing up one by one.

But there was no real intention to do it.

……

At the end of the year.

A burst of bad news came from the state of Jin.

Zhe Yuxun couldn't hold it anymore.

Regardless of everyone's dissuasion, She Saihua rushed to Jin State to see his brother off.

Jin's conquest of the Holy Roman Empire also stopped because of this incident.

The princes are going back to Jin to visit Zhe Yuxun.

Zhe Yuxun stopped them.

Witnessed by She Saihua, he ordered Zhe Yuqing to supervise the country.

At the same time, he handwritten an imperial edict and handed it to She Saihua.

He made it clear to the world that after his death, he would be placed in the palace without mourning.

When the sons conquer the Holy Roman Empire, they will return to Fuzhou, bury him, and receive the reward and inheritance of the throne.

What he did shocked everyone in the world.

He used his own body and brotherhood to block Zhe Yuqing's desire to usurp the throne during his supervision of the country.

He used his own death to force his sons to take down the Holy Roman Empire quickly.

He borrowed She Saihua's hand and the power of Yan State to frighten all those who have different intentions.

In the end, holding a jade tablet, he died in She Saihua's arms.

That piece of jade plaque entrusted by two generations became the last guarantee of the state of Jin.

After She Saihua returned to Yan State, she never mentioned the edict of Jin State's passing on the throne.

She just cried to Yang Qi and told Yang Qi that when she returned to China, Zhe Yuxun's body had already started to rot.

Watching Zhe Yuxun turn stinky and finally rot into muddy water, Yang Qi couldn't do it.

He made a decree.

Add [-] troops to the battlefield of the Holy Roman Empire.

Speeded up the time of the Holy Roman Empire's demise.

Qianyuan 17 years.

The Holy Roman Empire fell.

Jin won the war, not only got a large piece of land not lost to Yan, but also got a lot of wealth.

The Zhejia brothers returned to Fuzhou.

Accompanied by the soldiers and horses of Yan State, She Saihua also rushed to Fuzhou and read the imperial edict left by Zhe Yuxun.

Zhe Yuxun's edict shocked everyone in the world.

He actually adopted the abandoned enfeoffment system and enfeoffed several sons.

Except for the eldest son who succeeded to the throne as the emperor of the suzerain country, the other sons were all entrusted to the land of the conquered Holy Roman Empire.

Zhe Yuqing, who supervised the country, also received enfeoffment.

There is only one prefecture.

Fuzhou was granted to Zhe Yuqing and became his feudal country.

The newly succeeded emperor of the Jin Kingdom naturally had no choice but to move.

According to Zhe Yuxun's words in the edict, the sons can do whatever they want outside, but they can't touch Fuzhou.

Fuzhou is the ancestral land of the Zhe family and must be guarded forever.

……

Many people can't understand Zhe Yuxun's enfeoffment system.

Only Yang Qi can understand.

Occupying the homeland of the Holy Roman Empire, the Ori family became a superpower with a prosperous territory.

In terms of territory, it is almost larger than Yan.

And between the Holy Roman Empire and the former Jin State, there is a long and narrow door and a huge desert.

There is no way to govern together, so enfeoffment is inevitable.

The state of Jin is not as good as the state of Yan. The territory is not connected together, and there are natural barriers, so it has to be like this.

……

After the affairs of the state of Jin came to an end.

Yan Guo ushered in an unprecedented good news.

The steam engine made by Cao Yi and Yang Lezhi was finally completed perfectly.

To be precise, it should be Cao Yi, Yang Lezhi, and Tang Chen.

Tomson also participated in this at the end.

Yan Kingdom Palace.

Royal study.

Yang Qi looked at the three of them eagerly.

"I'm so relieved!"

Yang Lezhi said excitedly: "Father, you told me before that if I can make it, you will give me a workshop."

Yang Qilang laughed loudly, "I'm in the Northeast, and I've prepared the land of two prefectures for you to build a huge workshop. All the things you research can be made in it."

Yang Lezhi smiled happily.

Taking advantage of Yang Qi's joy, Tang Chen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Yanmen Pass has now become an arsenal, and nothing else is manufactured except weapons.

Chen has a group of people who don't like making weapons very much, but like making other weird things.

The minister wanted to take them and follow the second prince. "

Yang Qi was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Yes!"

Among the three heroes.

Only Cao Yi didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Yang Qi saw that he had something on his mind.

So at the last moment, he asked Yang Lezhi and Tang Chen to leave first, leaving Cao Yi alone.

After Yang Qi asked Cao Yi to sit down, he let out a long sigh, "Do you miss home?"

Cao Yu's tears couldn't stop flowing down at once.

Cao Yu wiped away his tears and said, "Master, I don't want to cry, but tears are not up to snuff, so I just run out."

Yang Qi patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "A man doesn't flick his tears easily. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you cry when you are homesick."

Cao Yi was homesick, and Yang Qi noticed this when he first entered the imperial study.

The little guy was so focused on making the steam engine before, so he didn't feel so attached to his home.

Now the steam engine is complete.

After letting go of his nervous thoughts, all the emotions of homesickness came to him.

People's hearts are gone.

I can't stay even if I want to.

Yang Qi was unwilling to let him go, especially after the steam engine was developed.

He thought about killing Cao Yi with one blow.

But in the end, under the washing of Cao Yi's tears, he gave up.

Since Cao Yi can't go.

Then we have to find a way to get Cao Yi's parents to Yan.

A war between Yan and Shu is inevitable.

Yang Qi groped the little guy's head and said with a smile, "Since you are homesick, master will find a way to bring your parents over."

Tears welled up in Cao Yu's eyes, and he asked in astonishment, "Will Grandpa Huang agree?"

The little guy grew up by Yang Qi's side since he was a child. Apart from being attached to his parents, he really doesn't have much affection for Cao Bin.

So when Yang Qi said he could take over his parents, he didn't object, but asked Cao Bin if he would.

Yang Qi comforted Cao Yi and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter, Master has his own opinion."

Cao Yu nodded, "I will listen to Master."

Yang Qi patted him, "Let's go to Le Zhi to celebrate. We finally created the giant steel beast, so why don't we celebrate it?"

Cao Yu happily ran out of the imperial study.

Cao Yi left.

The smile on Yang Qi's face gradually faded.

"Chen Lin!"

"The servant is here!"

"Call all the officials of the Military Machine Pavilion, the Finance Pavilion, and the Cabinet to the Imperial Study Room."

"Hey~"

"..."

After a while.

The three cabinet ministers gathered together.

Yang Qigao sat on the dragon chair, looked at them and said, "I want to fight with Shu, what do you think?"

Su Yijian and the others looked at each other and were not surprised.

Lu Duan murmured, "But because of the steel monster that was just built?"

Yang Qi nodded expressionlessly, "Cao Yu is homesick, I don't want to let him go, and I don't want to hurt his heart. Therefore, the only way to fight Shu is to let them hand over Cao Yu's parents."

Su Yijian frowned and said, "Your Majesty, if the words that started a war for a child spread, it would be detrimental to the reputation of Yan Kingdom."

Yang Qi said calmly: "I called you here to let you find a way to force Shu to start the war first."

After thinking about it, the ministers began to come up with ideas one after another.

Cao Bin's tolerance for Yang Qi has reached the limit.

His body couldn't hold it anymore, and he couldn't wait to hope that he could fight Yang Qi in his lifetime and establish the hegemony of the Shu Kingdom.

Therefore, it is not difficult to provoke Cao Bin's anger and make Cao Bin start a war.
