Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 145
Ever since Yunluo threw the baby girl to death, the entire East Palace was immediately closed. After the queen came to her senses, she asked the palace doctor to come and drip blood to identify her relatives. This seems to be the only way in this era, but this method has For a chicken.

In the end, it was believed that the boy was the child of Yun Luo and the prince, but after this incident, the queen no longer favored the east palace, so she let it go.

Although the Queen used to be serious and often lectured the Crown Princess, she would also listen to the Crown Princess's complaints and give her some advice. It was the same as for Xiao Menglan. However, the Crown Princess's personality became more and more unpleasant, so she didn't like her as much as Xiao Menglan. .

If you just let go now, you have really lost your favor.

Yang Guang came to the palace. At this time, the prince was coming out of the emperor's study. The two brothers met each other. Yang Guang maintained courtesy and said: "Brother Emperor."

But Yang Yong ignored Yang Guang directly, with a look of resentment on his face, which probably meant that the matter had not been discussed, and a look on his face as if everyone owed him millions.

Yang Guang looked at the direction he was leaving, shook his head and smiled: "Brother, you are so restless."

Since the last incident, Yang Guang has made up his mind never to do anything against Yang Yong. Before, Yang Yong was disgusted with him, and he was disgusted with Yang Yong, but in the end things always seemed to go a little bit wrong, and everything turned out to be... If he doesn't do anything, Yang Yong can always make things happen on his own, and the results are much better than he expected.

He understood that he didn't have to arrange it, Yang Yong would do it himself.

Entering the study, Yang Jian looked embarrassed. It was obvious that the conversation he had just had with Yang Yong made him feel bad.

"Father."

With Yang Guang's shouting, Yang Jian came back to his senses.

"Amo, you're here."

"Father, let me report to you about the price of food."

Because the food price issue involved military rations, Yang Jian was extremely cautious, so Yang Guang had to go to the palace every day to report the progress of the matter.

Yang Guang explained the matter in detail, and Yang Jian said with satisfaction after hearing it: "Well, things are done in an orderly manner, but let Bao Guogong pay more attention to it and don't let anyone find it, so as not to get noticed, even if it is discovered, Don’t let anyone complain to the court, so as not to embarrass me.”

"I understand, Father."

After talking about the matter, the emperor talked to Yang Guang about what Yang Yong had just said.

"Amo is currently experiencing constant wars in the Lintao area. Our army and the Turks each have their own victories and defeats. The Turks have occupied the city and plundered the city. We have enough supplies in a short period of time. I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to capture it in a short time. Just now, the prince came to tell me , he hopes to lead the troops to conquer the border, what do you think?"

Yang Guang showed hesitation on his face: "Father, this important military and state matter involves the emperor's brother, so I dare not say anything."

Yang Jian paused for a moment and said, "I'm going to let him go. He might as well go outside for a walk."

"Father is wise."

Yang Jian told Yang Guang all the details of the matter: "This time the prince led troops to Lintao and led five thousand elite troops. When he arrived at the border pass, he led a total of [-] troops. King Wei had no choice but to send troops for reinforcements because he could not escape. By then, these troops The army will all be commanded by the prince, and the total strength will exceed [-]."

"Seventy thousand troops is a large number."

Yang Guang sighed to himself. Yang Guang always felt that he had something to say. Recalling Yang Yong's attitude just now, he felt that the conversation between the two should not go smoothly. If Yang Yong led the army as Yang Jian said, What else is he dissatisfied with?

"Is my father worried about the army's logistics supply problem or something? I have never fought in a war, so I don't understand."

"For this expedition, I order Yang Hong, the king of Hejian County, to be the marshal of the army, and the prince to be the deputy marshal."

Yang Hong was Yang Jian's own cousin, and Yang Hong was intelligent by nature, talented in literature and military affairs, and he was even more loyal to Yang Jian. When Yang Jian was the prime minister, he often asked Yang Hong to follow him. At that time, Wang Yuwenzhao of Zhao Si in the Northern Zhou Dynasty invited Yang Jian to him. They were drinking in the house and planned to assassinate Yang Jian, but Yang Hong protected Yang Jian Zhouquan with his life.

Yang Guang now understood why Yang Yong was so angry just now. Even if the prince went on an expedition and did nothing, he still had to be the commander of an army. Now that he was the deputy commander, he couldn't save his face.

"Father, this..."

Yang Jian revealed a lot in front of Yang Guang: "Hey, the prince is brave, but he is impulsive and lacks consideration for his actions. He is not a candidate to be the leader of an army. The King of Hejian is more stable. He is the best leader for this expedition. And at this time, he is near the border and has almost reached the city. He is just waiting for the prince to bring the army and food to meet him."

Of course Yang Guang could hear the flavor from Yang Jian's words. Yang Jian speaking so frankly about the prince in front of him was telling him that Yang Jian valued and trusted himself more than Yang Yong.

But this kind of cake is good for just a few bites. In our history, Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty deceived Zhu Gaoxu like this every day, so you can’t believe it if you are a father, you can’t believe it if you are an emperor, and you can’t believe it if you are a father and an emperor. .

"Father, with this arrangement, I'm afraid the imperial brother will be unhappy..." "It's been decided. It's good if you know about this. After the news from the army comes back, I will order them to be handed over at the station ahead to enter the palace alone. You control when war news is released."

When Yang Guang heard this, he felt confident in his heart: "Yes, Father."

With the advantage of information, Yang Guang was almost invincible in this food war and won the battle in the end. Yang Guang also got the news at least one or two days earlier than others in the city. Could the merchants and their methods be better than others? Is the Royal Station even faster?
……

The next day, news of the prince's expedition spread all over the sky, but everyone was suddenly awakened by the fact that the prince was the deputy commander-in-chief.

As an official in the court, you must be very sensitive in your thinking. Any emperor's behavior is a signal that releases the emperor's thoughts. No matter how small a behavior is, it may contain the emperor's big thoughts, so there is a very important compulsory training for officials. The lesson is to figure out the Holy Will. If you figure it out well, if you do some things that the emperor doesn't want to do, you will be a great meritorious official.

You see, Zhao Kuangyin bullied an orphan and a widowed mother into wearing a yellow robe. Han Chongyun, who prepared the yellow robe for him, not only was not given a drink to release his military power, but was also entrusted with important responsibilities.

At this time, the fact that the prince was appointed deputy commander only intensified the speculation among the courtiers. Has the prince fallen out of favor?
Yang Guang went home and thought about it for a day, and felt that Yang Jian's behavior was really interesting. Even if he really didn't plan to let Yang Yong become the prince, he wouldn't tell the world now. Aren't he afraid that there are Turkic foreign enemies inside? No longer stable?

After thinking about it for a long time, I figured it out. The emperor was still testing people's hearts. It was the same old thing, but this time he made it clear.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yang Su had someone send a secret message, wanting to meet Yang Guang. Because of the emperor's previous warning, Yang Su would not meet with Yang Guang except in public events such as banquets in the palace. Today It seemed that someone had some enlightenment and sent someone to deliver the message.

When Yang Guang saw the letter, he sent someone to send a message back: "Zhuguo is busy with affairs, so it's better to see less of it. If you have something to do, please pass it on to Brother Xuangan."

It's not the time to rush yet, we still have to be patient, we still have to be steady, and we must not lose our position.

In the East Palace, Yang Yong was preparing for the expedition. He looked at the Shu armor that Yun Dingxing gave him. The exquisite armor fit his body shape, so he put it on directly.

Wearing Shu armor, Yang Yong looked like a warrior in bloom, with great beauty and tension. He couldn't help but think that if he went to the battlefield wearing this Shu armor, he would be so majestic, and he would definitely be compared with the former Lan in the history books. The king of the mausoleum, Gao Changgong, competed together.

It's a pity that the gems on the Shu armor can't block the sword, and the emerald will only hinder the movement. It looks good but is not practical.

Yun Luo walked to Yang Yong's side and waved to the maids to put Yang Yong into armor: "Your Highness, I have embedded soft armor inside this set of armor. It will be more comfortable for you to wear."

"It's still as thoughtful as you think."

Yunluo's mood has been unstable for a long time since the last incident. The queen never took care of the affairs of the East Palace. She neither took care of Yunluo nor the Crown Princess. Yang Yong completely disliked the Crown Princess and instead went with him. Yun Luo's relationship continues to heat up, and he firmly believes that the child is her and Yun Luo's child, and was framed by the concubine.

Yun Luo is still considerate, which will always be her trump card against Yang Yong. Yang Yong's hobby seems to have always been to like things that look good but are not practical.

Yun Luo personally helped Yang Yong put on his armor: "Your Highness is going on an expedition this time. The front of the army is in danger. Your Highness should be careful."

"I brought my own soldiers who were absolutely loyal to me, and since I am the deputy marshal, there is usually no need for me to go to the battlefield myself."

"That's good. Then I'll feel more at ease."

Yang Yong patted the armor on his body: "Hmph, when I return from the battle with the power of victory, my father, the emperor and my empress will definitely look at me with admiration."

"Yes, my Crown Prince is the most heroic."

Yun Luo pressed her body softly against Yang Yong, and Yang Yong picked up Yun Luo with a thought: "My father did not prepare me for the expedition ceremony today. He said that everything should be simple and everything should be done quickly, so I will use you as my expedition ceremony."

Lying on Yang Yong's body shyly.

Not to mention that Yunluo is easy to give birth to. She is not a strong person, but she is different from ordinary people. She has just had her period more than a month after giving birth, and she can still fight now.

The expedition ceremony was short and quick. This time the prince actually listened to the emperor's words and kept everything simple and everything done quickly.

Yang Yong led the army to fight, and five thousand elite soldiers set out from the city gate in a mighty and mighty manner.

Yang Guang looked at the scene and sighed. In ancient times, marching and fighting were as important as fighting. Just for this group of people to march to the combat position, they had to consume a lot of time and food. Without fast transportation, the generals rode horses. , the soldiers walked, and their marching speed was slow and inefficient.

At this time, Yang Guang came up with the idea of ​​building a steam engine, but he immediately shook his head. The principle of a steam engine is simple, but if it is actually applied, the demand for manufacturing, especially steel smelting and manufacturing, is still relatively high, although he already has a workshop researching it. Smelting steel, but the improvement of the process is not a matter of a day or two.
