The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 353 Huangfu Wuyi

In the empty big tent, a man and a woman are sitting dryly on either side!

Yin Mingyue's beautiful face was calm, and this mission was like playing, not challenging.She is standing like this now, and she has no intention of talking to her comrade-in-arms Du Canjun at all.It's not deliberate, but she is indifferent by nature and doesn't bother to care about so many people. If everyone has to deal with people in the court, she will be bothered to death. Instead of wasting time on this, it's better to practice a few times The swordsmanship is real.

Du Ruhui had a lot of eyes, and felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, but he couldn't tell where it was.

After Yang Tong asked them to bring them here, he left them alone. It has been almost half an hour, and Yang Tong still hasn't shown up. He even suspected that Yang Tong had forgotten them, and then went to sleep by himself. up.

When Du Ruhui was thinking blankly, he also looked at Yin Mingyue, who was indifferent, and muttered in his heart: Master Yin is bold and grand, and Yin Hongzhi is informal, how could there be such a female devil in the Yin family?Not only is his force amazing, killing people like hemp, but he is also as cold as ice.

No, colder than ice.

When the ice cubes are melted and heated, it will be very hot, but the Yinmingyue in front of me is really not cold when speaking, but it makes people see everything as indifferent.

That indifference seemed to come from her soul and blood.

This girl was unbelievably beautiful, no worse than the four concubines, but she was too cold. Du Ruhui hadn't seen her smile once during the one or two months of this trip.

Even if you laugh, it's the smile of Death, that doesn't count.

"Maybe she doesn't know how to laugh?" Du Ru secretly regretted it.

However, as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Du Ruhui saw Yin Mingyue's pretty face seemed to be revived, her calm, clear and ethereal phoenix eyes emerged, and her cold face suddenly appeared. With a smile, it was like a desolate land, like a pure white and beautiful fairy osmanthus orchid blooming.

At that moment, even Du Ruhui was amazed.

Du Ruhui followed Yin Mingyue's gaze in shock, and then saw Yang Tong walking in lazily.

In an instant, Du Ruhui suddenly realized: It's not that Yin Mingyue can't laugh, and it's not that she doesn't have human emotions, but she gave His Highness the gentleness of a woman... But then again, Yang Tong does have the conditions to make all women fall in love with her.

"See Your Highness!"

"See Your Highness!" Du Ruhui was stunned for a moment, and followed suit with a salute.

"Sit whatever you want!" Yang Tong sat on the main seat, looked around, and felt that the two of them were not quite what he thought, and he was a little disappointed.

"You guys helped me get Mingyue...Jun. Very good!" When speaking of the word 'Mingyue', Yang Tong intentionally cut off the word 'Jun' for a few breaths, but turned his eyes between the two of them, and found that there was still nothing. What's the reaction, "The result of the battle is greater than that of the North Route Army and the Central Route Army."

"Your Highness, thank you! In fact, it's all thanks to General Yin!" Du Ruhui said modestly, his eyes were also on Yang Yu and Yin Mingyue, thinking: His Highness will ascend the throne soon, and one empress and three concubines are too few. His Highness is interested in General Yin, but he can talk to Yang Pushe about it.

Seeing that these two people were hiding deeply and couldn't see anything, Yang Tong simply asked about their experiences, "I've already learned from your battle reports what you did in Gaochang, uh, in Mingyue County. To disintegrate the clown Qu Boya without bloodshed, and to simply open up a vast territory with a circumference of more than a thousand miles for the Sui Dynasty, this must be exciting, the battle report is too brief, so let's talk about it yourself!"

Du Ruhui explained his thoughts and intentions and the situation at that time one by one.Finally he said with a smile: "It's actually quite simple. It is to take advantage of the fact that people in the Western Regions underestimate literati and women, and enter the palace swaggeringly. Qu Boya, force him to kill the Turks!"

Yang Tong was amazed again and again, and said to Yin Mingyue: "Yin people don't need to plot! You really deserve to be called Yin!"

Yin Mingyue, who was usually deserted, was suddenly panicked and embarrassed by Yang Tong's praise. Du Ruhui laughed secretly, so it turns out that this female devil also has people who are afraid, which is really rare.He coughed lightly, and said with a smile, "The one who is more shady than General Yin is General Su. On the battlefield, he shot Qu Boya's son Qu Wentai to death with Turkic arrows."

Yang Tong was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to say: "Old Sukeng ally is so smooth! He deserves to be hacked for thousands of years. By the way, this Qu Wentai seems to be my old cousin, he dares to do black hands?"

"Qu Wentai was not born to a princess. He is about the same age as the princess!"

"It doesn't matter if this kind of old cousin kills a few more, old Su did a good job...it's important..."

"..."

"Your Highness, here comes the tea!" At this moment, a guard came in with a pot of boiling water.

"It's hard work, let it go!"

"Here." The guard said goodbye!

Yang Tong stopped Yin Mingyue, who was about to get up, and brewed three cups. He couldn't drink the tea soup with ginger, garlic, oil and water, so he asked someone to stir-fry the tea. It may not be as good as the tea in his previous life, but it shouldn't be too bad Anyway, Yang Tong doesn't have that taste, but at least the taste and artistic conception are higher than that of ginger garlic oil tea.

Before he drank it, Du Ruhui was shocked by the aroma of the tea alone. He stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, took a light breath, took a sip, and pondered for a moment in silence. When he opened his eyes, his eyes lit up, and he nodded and smiled. Said: "Wonderful!"

"This fried tea is roasted tea leaves. The taste is a hundred times better than that of tea soup. It is also easy to carry, and you can drink it with boiling water! It can refresh you when you are tired." Yang Tong said with a smile, Du Ruhui and Yin Mingyue They must have something important to do after traveling thousands of miles away, but judging by the looks of the two of them, they didn't seem to be in a hurry, so I played tricks on them for a while.

The fragrance of the tea is so refreshing, Du Ruhui took a sip of the tea, turned his head to look at Yin Mingyue who was drinking with a leather naan, and said with a smile: "This tea is so wonderful, it can clear the heart and refresh the mind, General Yin should drink more Some, it can also make the mind clearer."

That's right, Yin Mingyue has fallen in love with wine since she encountered wine in the Gaochang Palace. On the way back, she drank a lot of wine and naan, and specially asked five horses to come here.Does this count as using power for personal gain?
Yin Mingyue didn't even raise her head, and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Du Ruhui, who had hit a soft nail, smiled sarcastically, and stopped talking, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Yang Tong couldn't help but break out of the siege at the right time, "You two are in a hurry, and nothing good will happen. Tell me, what happened?"

"That's right." Du Ruhui nodded, and said, "Western Turks have deeply infiltrated the Western Regions. Almost every country has nearly a thousand Western Turkic soldiers stationed there. It has already become the world of Western Turks."

Yang Tong didn't interrupt, and listened silently. Although he didn't talk about the war on this side, the two sides have been communicating. Presumably Du Ruhui also knows the current situation of the Western Turks. After this battle, the Western Turks lost the right to speak in the Western Regions. Pay attention to.

"Western Turks are over, and we don't pay much attention to them. However, under Qu Boya's reminder, I found a clue after investigation!" Having said this, Du Ruhui's face became serious, and he continued: "There is a huge The power of the Han people secretly integrated the countries of the Western Regions. They infiltrated all aspects of the Western Regions. The military, government and finances of more than a dozen small countries, such as Podochina and Huoliximi, are firmly controlled by it."

There are broad and narrow senses of the Western Regions. In the broad sense, the Western Regions have a large scope, including the west of Dunhuang, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, Central Asia, and West Asia; the narrow sense of the Western Regions refers to the part of Central Asia from the west of Congling to Persia.

According to what Du Ruhui said, in the narrow sense of the Western Regions, a large part of the western, southwestern and central Asian provinces were firmly controlled by this force.

Yang Tong's expression also became serious, and he frowned and said, "Turks and other peoples on the grasslands advocate force and violence, which cannot last long. If the army collapses, the huge system they have worked so hard to build will collapse, not at all. Terrible. The terrible thing is that this kind of well-organized Han people know how to establish a political power, train elite soldiers, appease the people, and govern the world. If they integrate the Western Regions into one country, the western part of the Sui Dynasty will be unstable. But fortunately, they discovered it early. Under absolute strength, all conspiracies and schemes are paper tigers."

Du Ruhui's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Your Highness said well."

"Originally, I only planned to establish it according to the old Protectorate of the Western Regions, but now it seems not enough." Yang Tong looked at Du Ruhui: "It's just who will manage it. Does Keming have a suitable candidate?"

The nine ministers must not be moved. It would be a waste of money for Li Jing, Pei Renji, and Du Ruhui to go to the Western Regions, but among these people, who can be competent?Although Yang Tong now has quite a few underprivileged people, among these people, Yang Tong really can't think of a competent person.

"This..." Du Ruhui smiled wryly and was speechless. Yang Tong couldn't figure it out, especially since he joined the Sui not long ago. In Du Ruhui's view, most of the county guards under Yang Tong's command would not be a problem in governing a county, but The Western Regions are different from the Central Plains in that they are very complicated, and the rulers not only know how to govern, but also know how to adapt to local conditions and adapt.

"One person can't do it, why not go with a few more people? Anyway, the Western Region is not big." Yin Mingyue said suddenly.

"How many more?" Yang Tong's eyes lit up, and he asked Yin Mingyue, "What do you think?"

"Set up the Xingtai Shangshu Province in the Western Regions, and set up nine Shangshu under it, and then assign a cautious person to be the Xunshu Shangshuling, who is mainly responsible for checking!" Yin Mingyue smiled slightly.

"Okay!" Yang Tong smiled: "Set up the Xingtai Shangshu Province in the Western Regions to manage the five counties of Dunhuang, Yiwu, Shanshan, Qiemo, and Mingyue. Gai Wenda manages the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce, while Chen Xu manages the Ministry of Commerce!"

After such an arrangement, several great talents in Du Ruhui's "same year" all went to the Western Regions, which was also their training and training, and accumulated experience and qualifications for their future march into the imperial court.

"Above the five of them is the left servant of Xingtai, who is held by Huangfu Wuyi, and concurrently serves as the governor of Mingyue county; the right servant, Su Dingfang, is the leader of the army and the second punishment department. As for the engineering and learning departments, there is no need to set up them for the time being. .”

Zuo Pushe Huangfu Wuyi is now the sheriff of Shuangliao County. He is talented, well-versed in military and political affairs, loyal, honest and upright.

When Yang Tong was staying behind in the Eastern Capital, Huangfu Wuyi was silently by his side. He was also the purest and most upright person among the senior officials of the Eastern Capital. He was not yet fifty years old, but he was already the oldest official of Yang Tong. It was still a few years earlier, and he was the one Yang Tong owed the most.

Yang Tong planned to transfer him to Yecheng after the Western Regions were on the right track. He was cautious and meticulous, and he was the best candidate for the highest official in the province to review government orders and refute violations.

Today's Sui Dynasty does not have Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province, and the Nine Temples lack a lot, but if one becomes emperor, all necessary departments must be established, so that the Sui Dynasty can become more formal.

Considering that Mingyue County already had some talented people in charge, Yang Tong was not in a hurry, and said, "On the day of enthronement, Huangfu Wuyi, an old minister, was indispensable. Let him take office again next year."

"In addition, ask Ling Jing to send capable officers to break the 'Black Ice Terrace' into the countries and spy on the intelligence of the countries in the Western Regions and the origin of that mysterious force."

Compared with the Xingtai Province on the bright side, this is the most important thing.
