The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 832
It was almost noon, and the wine shops in Daxing East City were walking, with the aroma of wine and meat, the sound of chefs' knives and spoons, and the shouting of waiters.A restaurant named "'Hero Building' No. 757" was full of people, and more than a dozen disabled waiters of various degrees were sweating profusely back and forth to serve food, and the business was extremely prosperous.

This is the shop opened by Yang Tong. When he was in Jizhou, he was worried that disabled soldiers would run out of pensions and life would be unsustainable, so he opened "hero buildings" in the best parts of Jizhou counties and handed them over to disabled soldiers. Take care, after years of development, hero buildings have spread all over the world, and libraries and supply and marketing cooperatives in various places are under the management of the Ministry of Commerce.

As the city second only to Luoyang, Daxing City has opened 36 seats. In an elegant room on the fourth floor of this hero building, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Yu Chigong, Xue Wanjun, and Cheng Yaojin who were ordered to return to the 'dynasty' were having dinner.

"Xiao Luo, the Holy Majesty summoned everyone to come to Daxing this time, is he planning to annihilate the puppet Tang Dynasty and unify the world?" Yu Chigong asked.

The dusty Luo Shixin rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "I haven't even returned home yet, and I was robbed here halfway by you. How do I know if I will fight Puppet Tang?"

These generals all have their own mansions in Daxing, and because Yang Tong is celebrating the New Year in Daxing this year, everyone simply moved their families here so that they can reunite for a few days during the holiday.

"I'm a little strange. You Pushe, Shixin, Wanjun, General Du, and General Xie have already wiped out Li Xiaogong's main force, so they can take advantage of the vacancy and wipe out the puppet Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop. But the Holy One didn't, why is that? ?” Qin Qiong looked at Luo Shixin and asked, “You are traveling with You Pushe, did You Pushe mention it to you?”

"Why do you ask me all of them?" Luo Shixin smiled wryly: "I really really don't know. The Holy Majesty didn't say anything, and neither did You Pushe. Besides, just like Pseudo-Tang, it doesn't matter when you fight."

"I agree with Xiao Luo's words. It's just a half-dead pseudo-Tang. One fart can blow it away, so hurry up!" Cheng Yaojin said carelessly. Speaking of it, he was the most depressed person. When the floods flooded Gucheng County in Xiangyang, he obviously caught Li Shimin and Yin Kaishan who were fleeing in embarrassment, but he let him go. Afterwards, he knew that his intestines were full of regret.

Qin Qiong glared at him: "What you said is wrong. Yizhou is also the territory of the Sui Dynasty, and the people of Yizhou are also the people of the Sui Dynasty. Thinking that they will be ravaged by the puppet Tang Dynasty, I feel heavy in my heart."

Xue Wanjun smiled and said, "I think it will be soon."

"Why do you see that?" Qin Qiong was a little puzzled.

"It's October now, and there are still about two months before the end of the year, but the Holy One has summoned us generals from various battlefields early. I think this is a precursor to the annihilation of the puppet Tang Dynasty."

"That makes sense." Luo Shixin agreed, "It's fine with Wanjun and I, because we have completed our combat mission, and it's normal to come to Daxing. But Brother Qin, you are different, because Jiaozhou has not yet been leveled, and you are handsome He Fang Shangshu and the military adviser have all returned, what does this mean? It means that the Holy Majesty is very likely to let you be the commander-in-chief of destroying Tang Dynasty."

"I think so too." Yu Chigong glanced at Qin Qiong, and said with a smile: "If the Holy Majesty tells you to destroy Tang, it will be regarded as the achievement of destroying the country, and the name in history will definitely not escape. Tell me the truth, Are you particularly excited?"

"How could it be?" Qin Qiong said righteously: "The Holy Majesty treats me with such kindness as a mountain. If the Holy Majesty hadn't nurtured me, how could I, Qin Qiong, have achieved what I am today. I wish I could stay by the Majesty's side and listen to his teachings for the rest of my life."

"I go!"

Everyone shuddered and looked at Qin Qiong in horror.

Luo Shixin's cheeks also twitched a few times, and he was quite helpless with the expression of his righteous brother.

It can be said that Yang Tong didn't pay attention to Qin Qiong, not only let him ascend to the position of "Shengwu 36 Tiangang" and the guardian of the country, but also appointed him as the Minister of the Ministry of War, which is a sign of becoming a prime minister.Although Qin Qiong has always said that he does not want to be an official in the court, but only wants to be a general, it does not mean that Qin Qiong does not want to be a minister in the court one day.If Qin Qiong was in charge of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, his military career would have ended in a perfect battle. If Qin Qiong was unwilling, who would believe it?
"Hey, hey! You poor people, you talk about wars when you get together, and you get excited when you talk about wars. Are you tired? Let me tell you, the Holy One seems to have a grand plan, which is to unify the Sui Dynasty and then go to conquer Every inch of land, and then we will be entrusted to be kings! One day, my old Cheng will learn from Han Lingdi and build a naked swimming pool. Stunning." Cheng Yaojin had a silvery expression on his face.

"Nonsense!" Qin Qiong said angrily.

"Old Qin, don't be so straight-faced, okay? It's scary, but let me tell you, I'm really not talking nonsense this time. Once I was in the military room of Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, and I heard the Holy Majesty say this to Zuo Pushe. ...Why do you beat people at every turn? Isn't martial arts amazing? Oh, oh, oh...don't hit me, don't hit me, old black, help me..."

"Old Cheng, it's not that I don't save you, but that you really need to deal with it, especially your stinky mouth." Looking at Cheng Yaojin who was being beaten violently by Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong shook his head and said helplessly : "You actually told your wife that the Holy Majesty was going to marry Chief Jiang and Princess Lujiang as his concubines, and then your wife told my wife, and my wife told me again, and now I tell you again, you must go back and tell your wife In the end, if everyone knows about the trouble, it depends on how you end up."

"Am I talking nonsense? That's the way it is."

Cheng Yaojin became anxious immediately, and while parrying, he argued loudly, "I used to say that General Yin would become a concubine sooner or later, but he really became a concubine of virtue. Manager Jiang's alluring demeanor made my old Cheng's heart melt Sooner or later, she will follow in the footsteps of Concubine De and become the holy Chinese food... As for Princess Lujiang, she was originally a decent person, but now everyone knows that she is a descendant of General Yu Zeqing, and everyone can see that this is a royal arrangement. Make preparations one step at a time. Once at Beiman Mountain camp, I found that Shengshang was obsessed with Lujiang Princess's ass. Didn't you notice? According to my old way, Shengshang is good at everything, but he is timid when it comes to women .”

"Cheng Dapao, shut your stinking mouth for me!" Cheng Yaojin was parrying and talking, when Yang Tong's furious voice suddenly came from the next door.

In an instant, the five people froze the movements in their hands, and there was a dead silence in the private room.

The five generals were all stunned, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay: Why is the Holy Majesty next door?
It's just that after Yang Tong shouted angrily, there was no sound over there.

Not long after, Li Youwei, Li Jing's daughter, opened the door and came in. Her pretty face was flushed with a smile, and she said to the five strange-looking generals: "Your Majesty, please come over."

Luo Shixin pointed to the wall and asked, "Why is the Holy Majesty next door? When did you come?"

"The Holy Majesty has arrived long ago, you are looking for death, and you happened to sit here."

"General Li, who else is there?" Qin Qiong asked.

"The crown prince, princes, and princesses are all here." Li Youwei gloated at Cheng Yaojin, who was almost terrified, "There are also Concubine De, Princess Lujiang, and Director Jiang..."

"Pfft..." Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Yu Chigong, and Xue Wanjun burst out laughing, and walked quickly to the next room.

Luo Shixin smiled at Cheng Yaojin: "Everyone says you have a bad mouth, it's not worth it. This time you are dead!"

How can Cheng Yaojin still have the spirit of high-spirited talk?At this moment, his face was pale, and he was so frightened that he could hardly walk, and stood there wobbling.He knew that he really got into a big disaster this time.

If Yang Tong was alone, at most he would be fined and passed.The key is that the concubine De and Lujiang princess he said are both there, and what's more terrible is that the girl Jiang Fengyi also heard that he was flirting with her.

When Cheng Yaojin came to his senses, his first thought was to escape, but where could he escape?

In desperation, he had no choice but to walk out of the room.

"Alas!" Cheng Chumo on the passage looked at this unreliable father, shaking his head helplessly and sighing.

"I'll take care of you when I get home." Cheng Yaojin kicked his son hard, and suddenly had the courage to face reality.

When he stepped into the room, Cheng Yaojin didn't recognize Yang Tong at once, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart, but when he saw the undisguised dragon son and dragon girl, and Jiang Fengyi and Yang Qinfang with fire-breathing eyes, he immediately turned to him again. Fell into despair, gave up luck.

"What do you say?" Yang Tong glared at Cheng Yaojin.

"The last general deserves death. Please punish me severely." Cheng Yaojin's legs softened, and he fell to his knees with a thump. He slapped himself hard several times. It swelled up.

"Do you know Wang Shichong?"

"I know, I know! Of course I know." Wang Shichong died not long ago, who doesn't know?It's just that Yang Tong's question made Cheng Yaojin a little confused.

"Wang Shichong is well versed in various laws and regulations, and often takes advantage of the loopholes in the laws to cheat and do whatever he wants. People know that he is wrong, but because of the lack of laws, there is no way to punish him." Yang Tong looked at him coldly, and continued, " I thought about it carefully, and just like the censor who couldn't punish Wang Shichong, I couldn't find any laws and regulations, military laws and military regulations to punish you. That is to say, you didn't violate any laws and regulations. How dare I punish a person for no reason? A meritorious general?"

"Your Majesty, the last general is guilty, a serious crime of disrespect, and is willing to accept all severe punishments." Cheng Yaojin kowtowed three times in a row, begging.

Cheng Yaojin was already frightened and frightened at this time, because Yang Tong had already compared him with Wang Shichong, the big villain, and now he hoped that Yang Tong would be severely punished to end this incident, otherwise, sooner or later, the petty crime would turn into extermination felony.

Although Qin Qiong was angry with him, he still begged for mercy: "My lord, although Cheng Yaojin speaks freely, he has no malicious intentions. He is just talkative by nature. Please forgive him for his great achievements. time!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Luo Shixin said: "Cheng Yaojin is loyal to His Majesty and to Tai Sui, and has no second thoughts. Only this mouth is hateful, as long as he has three cups of yellow soup, he can't control it."

Yu Chigong and Xue Wanjun also pleaded for mercy.

"I can't fix you, you decide for yourself!" Yang Tong was really annoyed this time. This bastard actually went berserk in public, lest the world would say that he was staring at Yang Qinfang's ass lewdly, not only did Yang Qin Fang heard it, and even his sons and daughters heard it, which made him really unbearable.But what Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin said is also right, Cheng Yaojin is good at everything else, but this stinky mouth is disgusting, today he has to make him remember.

"At the end of the day, I will cut off my three fingers as a punishment!" Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth, pulled out a dagger, and chopped off the fingers of his left hand. Qin Qiong, who was next to him, grabbed Cheng Yaojin's arm with quick hands and furiously said, "Chop off the fingers." , you're useless."

"Fingers don't make mistakes, why chop off your hands! Why don't you cut off your hateful tongue?" Yang Tong said coldly.

Cheng Yaojin was terrified, dropped the dagger, and said in a sobbing voice: "The general is at a loss, please show me the way."

When Yang Tong saw that the hob meat was actually crying, he knew that he was terrified to the extreme. Seeing that it was almost done, he said slowly, "I want everyone to plead for you, and I won't punish you severely this time. Get up."

"Thank you, my lord." Cheng Yaojin heaved a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, and waited for punishment.

"Since everyone says that you can't control your stinky mouth when you drink alcohol, then I will punish you not to drink a drop of alcohol for one year, and to copy "Historical Records" a hundred times. In addition, you are not allowed to say a single sentence within three months. You can’t do it in public places or at home. If you say a word, you can copy “Historical Records” a hundred times.” Yang Tong said flatly.

"Your Majesty's method is really clever." Luo Shixin really convinced him. Cheng Yaojin has many problems, but the biggest characteristic is his good wine and talkativeness. Copying books that you don't like is a punishment, which is ten thousand times better than deducting your salary.

"That's a good idea." Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, and Xue Wanjun also laughed.

Cheng Yaojin had a bitter face, and he didn't say a word for a long time, he could bear not drinking for a year, and being dumb for three months regardless of the occasion, isn't that the fate of others?
But it was better than the heavy punishment recorded in the account, he bowed his head dejectedly, "Thank you for the light punishment, Your Majesty, I will eventually realize my mistake."

"Your punishment starts now."

"Here." Cheng Yaojin saluted.

"Your Majesty, he has spoken." Jiang Fengyi glared at Cheng Yaojin, although you said that my mother is in good shape and makes her very happy, but you can't eat her tofu, how can you not be punished?

"I didn't, you're talking nonsense." Cheng Yaojin said loudly.

Jiang Fengyi bewitched, "I heard what you said."

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said, "I didn't say that."

"You just said it." Yang Qinfang was very grateful to Cheng Yaojin at first, but this bastard actually said that Yang Tong was staring at her ass, which really embarrassed her.

"I really didn't say..."

"I heard that too." There was an icy coldness on the Yinming moon.

Cheng Yaojin was in a hurry: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for the last general, the last general really didn't say anything."

"Old Cheng, how many times do you want to copy "Historical Records"?" Luo Shixin shook his head, feeling anxious for Cheng Yaojin's IQ.

"I don't want to copy it again..." Cheng Yaojin, who was belatedly aware of it, finally understood, and suddenly wanted to cry but had no tears, with a look of lovelessness on his face, and he shouted 'taken' in his heart.

Yang Lu, who was sitting next to Yang Tong, was eating a piece of kelp. When he heard Cheng Yaojin's words, he said with a smile on his face, "From the moment Father said, 'Your punishment begins now', you said 'here', 'I didn't, you're talking nonsense', 'I didn't', 'Your Majesty, you have to decide for the last general! The last general really didn't say anything', 'I don't want to copy it again'."

"Xiaolu, General Cheng's word 'here' is a response to the emperor's father, so it can barely be counted!" Prince Yang Zheng was very objective.

"Zheng'er is right." Yang Tong nodded, and asked Yang Lu, "Little Lu, except for that 'here'. How many times did Cheng Dapao say that in total?"

Yang Lu put down his chopsticks, stretched out his small hand, and made clear statistics, "I said it four times in total."

"Xiaolu is right!" Yang Tong said to Cheng Yaojin, ""Historical Records" only has more than 50 characters, and the total is only about 200 million. You have ten days to hand in every word."

"..." Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth: I'm here, or not?

Just to be on the safe side.

He finally chose to nod violently.

"Since we met, let's go together." Yang Tong said to Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Yu Chigong, and Xue Wanjun seeing that the table here was big and there were still a few empty seats.

"Thank you, sir." The fourth general found a seat and sat down, Cheng Yaojin stood aside, not daring to sit down.

Yang Tong also ignored him, and said to the four generals: "What Cheng Dapao said just now, except for the nonsense, is not all nonsense. Take the matter of feudalism and founding the country as an example. In the Sui Dynasty, it is a distant foreign land, but it has not yet been considered mature, so it has not been said."

Qin Qiong's complexion changed drastically, and he got up and saluted: "The Holy One has an order, and the final will go through fire and water, but he will not hesitate to do so, but the land he got is the land of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he has no ambition to build a country by himself. Please take back the idea of ​​enfeoffment."

Luo Shixin also said: "The enfeoffment is the beginning of disaster, please take it back."

"This is something to consider in the future, it's still early." Yang Tong laughed.

"Your Majesty, it's best not to think about it." Xue Wanjun has a profound family background. He knows that the system of feudalism is good at the beginning. Because the princes of various places are the emperor's sons or brothers, or meritorious officials, they will naturally have the effect of shielding the royal family and eliminating turmoil.However, with the death of the founding emperor, the throne will inevitably induce some ambitious vassal kings to rebel or plot rebellion, no matter which one will pose a serious hidden danger to the empire. Isn't that how the "rebellion of the seven kingdoms" and "rebellion of the eight kings" came about of it?
"..." Yang Tong stared blankly when he heard the words, the military commander spoke so directly, of course he would not blame him.

However, he is not aimless, but has his own ideas.

Because no one in this era is more aware of the huge energy contained in this nation than him, but their thoughts have always been bound to this land. Being restrained... If you blindly guard this acre of land, you will end up being bullied by mermaids.

Yang Tong hopes that the Sui Dynasty will be strong, but he knows that the world will be divided if it is united for a long time, and it will be united if it is divided for a long time, so he hopes that the nation that lives in the Central Plains and is limited to the Central Plains can continue in a wolfish way.

Through continuous expansion, the martial spirit of the nation will remain young forever. Even if the dynasty collapses, there will still be a martial spirit that dominates the world and swallows mountains and rivers.If the Great Sui Dynasty was surrounded by clan clans and vassal states whose founders were civil and military rulers, even if the descendants of these people would one day cause the decaying Great Sui Dynasty to collapse, then the family would still be the masters of the country, rather than reducing the Central Plains to a foreign pasture .
