At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 216 Zhuo County Shepherd Superintendent
Yang Guang had a good face, and he was in a good mood when he was photographed. He asked, "Gao Changqing, how old are you? Have you ever been married?"

Gao Bufan's heart skipped a beat, could it be that he just slapped the dragon's fart too hard just now, Yang Guang was so happy that he planned to be his cheap father-in-law?

Gao Bufan had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "Your Majesty, Cao Min is sixteen this year and hasn't married yet."

The current Gao Bufan not only has red lips and white teeth, but also a pair of eyes that are as clear as streams, bright as stars, and tall and straight like a poplar. Empress Xiao is naturally more and more fond of her. Feeling moved, he said with a smile: "You are only 16 years old, you really are young and promising, congratulations to the emperor, we have a wealth of talents in the Sui Dynasty, it is a blessing for the country."

At this time, a handsome civil official standing on the side of the head of the hall interjected: "Since ancient times, every wise and wise king will surely have a prosperous country and a peaceful people, well-organized government and harmonious people, and talented people like clouds."

This flattery was brilliant, Gao Bufan couldn't help taking a look at this man, but the other party just happened to look at him, his eyes were melting, which made people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

Gao Bufan's heart moved, this person should be Pei Ju, the servant of Huangmen among the "two Peis and one Yu" mentioned by Lu Changshi. It is said that this person strongly encouraged Yang Guangdong to conquer Goguryeo.The so-called "Second Pei" refers to Pei Ju, the servant of the Huangmen, and Pei Yun, the official censor, both of whom were from the Pei family in Wenxi County, Hedong.

Pei Xingyan is also from Hedong, but he is from Hedong County, Hedong County, not Wenxi County, so strictly speaking, he does not belong to the Pei family.

The Pei family, the Li family, and the Yuwen family are the three top families in the court today. Among them, the Pei family is undoubtedly the upstart among the three families, and the "Yi Yu" in "Two Pei and One Yu" refers to Yu Shiji, the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu. , and there is also Nayan Suwei, both of whom are extremely favored ministers under Yang Guang.

In today's Wude Palace, apart from Pei Ju, there are also Nayan Suwei and Zhuguo Li Min, the uncle of Li Dalang who was killed by a tiger, and Yang Guang's niece and son-in-law.

Besides, Yang Guang straightened his beard and smiled when he heard the words. Obviously, Pei Ju's words made him very useful.Since the failure of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, Yang Guang has become more face-saving and sensitive, and he can't listen to harsh words. Maybe this is the so-called "post-traumatic syndrome", and he needs the affirmation of others to comfort himself.

At this time, Yu Wenhua and this guy rolled their eyes, and said with a smile: "What Pei Shilang said is very true. It is because of my emperor's sage, that the Sui Dynasty was able to govern well and people were harmonious, and there were many talents. Look at Gao Changqing, a talented man from the county. He is young. Not only is he skilled in martial arts, he is skilled in riding and shooting, but also has a brilliant literary talent, especially his poetic talent, which is even more amazing."

Gao Bufan's heart sank slightly, and he whispered that it was not good. Uncle Cao Ni's Yuwen Wenji was full of infamy, and it was because of harm!

Sure enough, when Yang Guang heard it, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he said lightly, "Oh, is that really the case?"

Although Empress Xiao still had a smile on her face, she obviously sat upright, Princess Yicheng frowned, Pei Ju, Li Min and the others watched with interest, as if they had nothing to do with themselves and hung high However, Nayan Suwei showed a thoughtful look.

Su Wei is known for his integrity and outspokenness, but he is a rare loyal minister under Yang Guang's command. When he saw Gao Bufan flattering Yang Guang just now, he thought he was also a flatterer, so he looked down upon him. Ji was actually digging a hole for Gao Bufan, so his opinion of Gao Bufan suddenly changed.

Because Yu Wenhuaji and his father Yu Wenshu are both sycophants who are used to currying favor with the emperor, and Su Wei is not used to what this pair of fathers usually do. Since Yu Wenhuaji wants to attack Gao Bufan, Gao Bufan will The son should be good too.

Hey, it's interesting to talk about this Su Nayan's dialectics!
At this time, Yu Wenhuaji immediately said: "It's true, I visited horse farms in various places last year, and happened to meet Gao Changqing in Ji County, Bohai County. I was fortunate to hear that Gao Changqing recited two good poems handed down in public. It's really true." It amazed everyone, by the way, General Changsun was also present at that time."

"Which general is the eldest grandson, is it the eldest grandson Jisheng?" Yang Guang asked.

"It's General Changsun!" Yu Wenhuaji replied.

Yang Guang sighed, and said sadly: "You just said that, and I woke up that Changsun Aiqing had already left me...By the way, what good poems did Gao Changqing write that amazed everyone? Tell me to appreciate it." One or two."

Yu Wenhuaji glanced at Gao Bufan sinisterly, and said with a smile: "One is called "Quiet Night Thoughts", and the other is called "Ask the Moon with Wine", if the emperor wants Gao Changqing to sing it in public, everyone please comment and comment. "

It is said that Gao Bufan's "Thoughts at a Quiet Night", "Ask the Moon with Wine" and "Farewell to Fude Pasture Grass" have long been recited, and even Yang Guang has read them. , immediately remembered.

Yang Guang himself is very good at diction. For example, "Chun Jiang Hua Yue Ye" was written by him, which shows that his talent is indeed great. However, after reading Gao Bufan's "Ask the Wine to the Moon" at his level, he had to applaud it, but Yang Guang He has a strong ambition, especially in his field of expertise, and is obviously not willing to be overshadowed by others. Wang Zhou, who "no one can green the grass at will", and Xue Daoheng, who "falls on empty beams and swallows mud", are lessons from the past.

At this time, Su Wei coughed lightly and said: "Your Majesty, poetry is just a small way, what is it? Moreover, the purpose of the Emperor calling Gao Changqing here today is to reward meritorious ministers and select talented people. It is really not appropriate to talk about poetry and prose. "

Princess Yicheng also laughed and said: "What Su Nayan said is serious, besides, this is the Hall of Martial Virtue, and it is not a good place to talk about poetry and Fu."

Yang Guang nodded and said: "Then let's study Gao Changqing's poetic talent in another day. Good poems and good words should be matched with good wine and beautiful scenery."

Yu Wenhuaji was very disappointed, with Su Wei and Princess Yicheng protecting him, he didn't dare to make trouble any more, so he could only flatter and say with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty is wise."

Gao Bufan broke into a cold sweat secretly, and finally learned about Yu Wenhuaji's shame, but he could understand Princess Yicheng's words to help him, and Su Wei also helped him out of the siege, which was a bit difficult for him to understand, but anyway, this favor he take note of it.

"Gao Changqing, Yin County!" Yang Guang called out majestically.

"Caomin is here!" Gao Bufan quickly replied respectfully.

"You are white, if I grant you an official position, it is against the rules, but if I only give you property, it is not enough to commend your achievements. Tell me, what reward do you want?" Yang Guang asked loudly.

In an instant, everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on Gao Bufan. Yu Wenhuaji was both kind and jealous, while Princess Yicheng stared at Gao Bufan coldly. At first she wanted to keep Gao Bufan by her side, but this kid Unaware of favors, she refused, so this time she recommended Gao Bufan to Yang Guang, the purpose of which was naturally to lead Gao Bufan to follow the "righteous path", so as not to follow the example of those rioters and thieves in the future and take the crooked path against the Sui Dynasty.

Gao Bufan lowered his eyebrows and said: "Although the grassroots have made some trivial achievements, they dare not claim credit for themselves, but rely on the emperor to be the master."

Princess Yicheng heaved a sigh of relief. Back then, she imprisoned Gao Bufan for ten days, and this kid refused to give in. Fortunately, he learned how to behave now, and he didn't say such stupid things as not wanting to be an official.

Yang Guang nodded in satisfaction and said: "I heard Princess Yicheng mention that you refused to be an official in Turkic, and only wanted to raise horses and strong soldiers for the Sui Dynasty. Forget it, how about I make you the Shepherd Supervisor of Zhuo County?"
