The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 392

Wang Qianshou and Bing Yuanzhen came in a hurry, both of them were a little surprised and a little worried.When Yang Tong ascended the throne, the two of them were representatives of the "rebels", and they didn't even have the opportunity to show up. Now, I have never heard of any country's king or envoy that Yang Tong met, but suddenly summoned the two of them. People are very disturbed.

The two were able to represent Zheng and Wei as envoys, so they were naturally not without brains. The Sui Dynasty formally unified the north this year, and there were no external problems. The next step must be to send troops south.

Yang Tong did not kill Li Tang when he had the opportunity to kill the emperor and ministers, which shows that his next target is not the Bashu occupied by Li Tang; at the beginning of the year, the people in Qingzhou were fleeing famine, and Yang Tong missed the opportunity to annihilate Dou Jiande, which shows that he I also don't want to beat Dou Jiande.Based on this calculation, then Yang Tong's next target is either Wang Shichong or Li Mi.

Wang Shichong and Li Mi were both worried, so they formed an alliance to protect themselves. This time they were asked to come here because they wanted to find out the bottom line of the Sui Dynasty. At least, they had to figure out Yang Tong's attitude towards Zheng and Wei, so they could be prepared.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Tong glanced at the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "I heard that Zheng and Wei two families want to deepen their relationship by marrying off their children in order to deal with Li Yuan. Is there such a thing?"

Wang Qianshou and Bing Yuanzhen were taken aback when they heard the words, how could they get involved in this matter, could it be that the Yang and Tong families are planning to join forces to deal with the Sui Dynasty?But looking at Yang Tong's indifferent appearance, both of them didn't understand what it meant, Wang Qianshou said: "His Majesty the Sui Emperor also knows that Zheng and Wei have a deep misunderstanding, if we don't clear up the misunderstanding in this way, everyone will inevitably have a lump in their hearts. In order to deal with the enemy Li Yuan with one heart and one mind, that's why we married our sons and daughters."

In fact, the news of Zheng and Wei's marriage has spread all over the world, not to mention that everyone knows it, but it must not be hidden from the core figures of all parties. It is not a secret at all, but Wang Qianshou is also afraid that Yang Tong will get it wrong. , and then repeatedly emphasized targeting Li Yuan, not Da Sui.

Yang Tong nodded, looked at Bing Yuanzhen and said, "But who is this girl?"

"His Majesty the Sui Emperor, this girl was originally Pei Yuehua, the granddaughter of Pei Shiqing, and now she is the adopted daughter of His Royal Highness King Wei of our family." Bing Yuanzhen replied.

Pei Yuehua?
Yang Tong still had some impressions. When Pei Shiqing was still a minister of Yang Tan, he was ordered to enshrine Yang Tong and Yang You, but Pei Shiqing used the name of the Zheng family of Xingyang to inquire about the bottom line of his treatment of the aristocratic family.At the same time, he brought his granddaughter Pei Yuehua into the palace, trying to follow Xiao Empress's path and betroth her to himself.

It's just that this is not the same as what Yang Gongren and Ling Jing heard!

Bing Yuanzhen is also a good person. He saw that Yang Tong's intention was not to marry Zheng and Wei, but the daughter of the two families. This made him feel relieved, but of course it was difficult to say these words, so he asked immediately: "Your Majesty Why are you talking about this?"

"It's not that I want to take care of your family affairs, it's just that I have recently heard rumors that it is not Pei Yuehua who is going to marry Luoyang!" Of course Yang Tong will not admit that his news is wrong, and Pei's problem should be sooner rather than later. She was really married off by Li Mi, where would Da Sui's face be put?

"But I don't know who it is?" Wang Qianshou asked, cupping his hands.

"As far as I know, the so-called adopted daughter that Li Mi intends to betroth to Wang Xuanqiong is not Pei Yuehua, but my Great Sui Princess Yan. Although King Yan has become a monk now, Princess Yan is still the daughter-in-law of the Tian family. What you have done, Where are you going to trap me, Da Sui?" Ling Jing looked at Wang Qianshou, and a gleam of coldness flashed in his cold eyes: "Or is your Wang family already ready for a decisive battle with Da Sui?"

"His Majesty the Sui Emperor, Ling Shangshu, I, Da Zheng, have absolutely no intention of offending Da Sui Tianwei, and it is indeed Pei Yuehua who is going to marry, not Princess Yan." Wang Qianshou didn't know whether it was true or not, but he knew that Wang Shichong would definitely not refuse He wisely asked his son to marry Princess Yan of the Sui Dynasty. Not everyone dared to offend the prestige of the Sui Dynasty.Moreover, Yang Tong had thousands of reasons for attacking their old Wang family, and there was no need to make a fuss about his sister-in-law's reputation and royal dignity. He vaguely felt that their Wang family had been cheated by Li Mi.

"The car curtain family, cover your head with a hijab, and stuff it into your mouth with a ball of cloth. Who knows if the bride is Princess Yan or Pei Yuehua?" Ling Jing's cold words directly made Wang Qianshou cry in the cold weather. Sweat broke out.

"Ling Shangshu sow discord in front of my subordinates, isn't it good?" Bing Yuanzhen spoke at this time.

Ling Jing sneered coldly, and said majesticly: "I have nearly a million elite soldiers in the Sui Dynasty, and a thousand generals. There are no internal or external troubles, and it is easy to clean up your family at the same time. How can we sow dissension? Don't think too highly of yourself. gone."

Yang Tong glanced at Ling Jing, and sighed in his heart: This is the grandeur that a great country should have!This is also the self-confidence and pride that a big country brings to its subjects. Even when dealing with foreigners, this self-confidence and pride are further sublimated when facing their own country's rebels.

Bing Yuan smiled wryly, and felt a sense of broken dreams. What the emperors and officials of the Sui Dynasty said was indeed a conspiracy against Wang Shichong.

Conspiracy is characterized by concealment. It uses a tactful way to make the opponent fall into the mud and be unable to fight back. It is a kind of softness in the performance of strength, but once people notice it, it will fail. Li Mi's trick of calculating Wang Shichong is a typical conspiracy.

Betrothing Princess Yan to Wang Shichong's son Wang Xuanqiong is indeed what Wei Guo is going to do.This is also the consensus of Wei Wang Li Mi, Bing Yuanzhen and Fang Xuanzao.

They believe that Yang Tong, who represents the orthodox world, will inevitably tear off the previous disguise mask and reveal a hideous face. This is something that must be done after becoming an emperor. Otherwise, Yang Tong will not be able to explain to the world, and the authority of the emperor will be shaken. .

Even if Yang Tong no longer fights this year, in the spring of next year, I am afraid that he will launch a war going south. Therefore, Dou Jiande, a pawn in Wei State who attracted the soldiers of the Great Sui, is too weak to withstand the power of the Great Sui.Therefore, Wang Shichong became Li Mi's preferred pawn.

Betrothing Princess Yan to Wang Shichong's son will undoubtedly anger Sui, but relatively speaking, the anger on the man's side will definitely be heavier.

Once Wang Shichong is desperate, he can only make friends with Li Mi, so that the Wei army can enter Luoyang successfully and take over the south bank of the Yellow River. Focus on the grand strategy of unifying the south of the Yellow River.But no one could have imagined that Da Sui would have seen through Li Mi's plot.

The characteristic of Yangmou is that it is public. Even if the opponent knows it, there is nothing to do. It is a powerful method to suppress others; Everything has been spread out, not to mention the failure of Li Mi's trick, but also to tear a rift in the weak alliance between Wang Shichong and Li Mi.

While Bing Yuanzhen was feeling emotional, he was glad that their conspiracy had not yet become a reality. As long as they refused to admit their account and obediently married Pei Yuehua to Wang Xuanqiong, the relationship between Wei and Zheng could be restored, but it would be difficult to harm Wang Shichong in the future. .

"Ling Shangshu!" At this time, Wang Qianshou took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "This matter is of great importance, and it is even more related to the dignity of your country. You must not speak in vain."

Ling Jing said in a deep voice: "If you are not sure, how dare I talk nonsense?"

At this point, Wang Qianshou also faintly felt that he was being calculated. Compared with Li Mi, he was more willing to believe in the Great Sui. The powerful Great Sui did not fear any power. There is absolutely no need to engage in such a small trick that can't be put on the table.

After thinking up to this point, he stared at Bing Yuanzhen coldly, and said, "Bing Nayan, how do you explain it?"

"There is absolutely no such thing. King Wei and King Zheng are very sincere in getting married. King Cai can rest assured! If not, the date of the wedding can be confirmed." Bing Yuanzhen, who shook his head in denial, sighed secretly, thinking: the conspiracy will eventually come to an end It was a conspiracy, and after being discovered, it was really vulnerable.

"That's good!" Wang Qianshou nodded. He was not interested in why the Sui Dynasty had such a statement, but he also knew that there was no reason for it.Before the incident happened, the Sui Dynasty pointed out that it was Zheng Guo who benefited, but he also had doubts about the sincerity of Wei Guo.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Sui, His Royal Highness the King of Cai!" Bing Yuanzhen cupped his hands and said, "I believe that this is an attempt by a certain force to destroy the relationship between the three parties, so that the three parties will be involved in a war in order to profit from it."

Yang Tong nodded: "I also hope that this is a misunderstanding, so as to avoid such misunderstandings from happening again. I hope that Mr. Bing will send the emperor's wife back intact."

"Here!" Bing Yuanzhen replied very bachelorly.After this incident, Princess Yan's pawn has lost the value of being used. If she makes a mistake in Wei State, the war may break out immediately. Instead of being used by a third party, it is better to return it to Sui and leave it clean.At the same time, it also made it clear to Wang Qianshou that Wei Guo had no intention of harming Wang Shichong.

"This matter ends here, I will send someone to accompany Mr. Bing to pick him up."

"Here!" Bing Yuanzhen, what else could he do?
Yang Tong looked at the two of them, and said again: "I also know that you are here with a mission, so let me take this opportunity to express Da Sui's attitude."

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty." Wang Qianshou and Bing Yuanzhen's hearts that had just dropped were suspended again.

"My focus is on the Western Regions, and I'm not interested in the South, but I still have an attitude that should be expressed. I hope you don't make mistakes."

"Here."

Wang Qianshou and Bing Yuan were really relieved, Yang Tong told them indirectly that Tai Sui would declare them traitors, but would not really attack them.Although these words are not credible, at least they got Da Sui's attitude, and they were able to go back to the business.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Qianshou cupped his hands and said, "But I don't know about war horses..."

"I will sell you as much as you want. No one will feel bad about money, and neither will I!"

"Indeed!" Ling Jing said with a look of disgust: "There are hundreds of millions of horses, plus tens of millions of cattle and sheep. They eat green grass and leaves as soon as they are green. It is annoying to watch!"

"..." Wang Qianshou and Bing Yuan really wanted to curse when they heard it. They treated each war horse like a master, fearing that it would not eat well, and fearing that it would have diarrhea. There were countless grooms, but Da Sui actually treated the horse like a horse. Locust, this is really more popular than people.

But the two also knew that Ling Jing wasn't bragging, that Da Sui had been victorious all these years, and the Turkic people were complaining about what they had robbed, and it was normal to have so many horses, cattle and sheep.

"What about the price?" Wang Qianshou felt that war horses were overrun in the Sui Dynasty, so the price should be negotiable.

"Each gold one tael!"

"This……"

"If you want to buy it, you can buy it. If you don't buy it, don't buy it. Horse meat tastes good, everyone agrees." Ling Jing said: "Besides, even if you don't buy it, Li Tang will rush to ask for it."

Yang Tong almost burst out laughing, this is the advantage of monopolizing strategic resources, if you don't buy it, I will sell it to your enemy, what do you do?
It's a pity that I am a liberal arts student, and I don't know the formula and principle of gunpowder, cement, glass, soap, and soap. Not only can I not make a lot of money, but I can't improve the level of infrastructure in this era
