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

Chapter 164 The handsome and evil appearance

"What did Meng Lan send you to do?"

"Surveillance and awakening His Highness."

Yang Guang looked at Yuan Tiantian who had just arrived with a speechless expression. Even if it was the truth, there was no need for you to say it so straightforwardly.

Yuan Tiantian only brought simple luggage, and Yang Guang asked curiously: "That's all you bring?"

"The princess told me to travel lightly, and the princess gave me a lot of money, so I can buy whatever I want. The princess said I don't have to wear maid clothes, I can wear whatever I want."

"You believe Meng Lan when he says it? Isn't this a test of you?"

"I will do whatever the princess says."

Xiao Menglan's purpose of sending Yuan Tiantian here is obvious, that is, she is afraid that Yang Guang will find a confidante again when he has been living in Luoyang for a long time. Before, Nanxi was willing to die for Yang Guang, so he reluctantly accepted her, but now he can't give it to other women. You can take advantage of this opportunity.

She felt that her Highness was so outstanding that women would inevitably throw themselves into his arms and recommend themselves. Even if Yang Guang didn't provoke him, his status was destined, and there would be a bunch of people trying their best to get into his bed.

After all, Yuan Tiantian has an extra layer of insurance.

Yang Guang now only has two of his most trusted people, Wang Yi and Li Feng, who can chat with him, but when it comes to matters involving strategists, it is difficult for them to help make suggestions. Without Li Yuanyu Wenhua and others, he will eventually be around him. There are fewer hangers-on, so the arrival of a female hanger-on named Yuan Tiantian, who is good at fortune telling, is not a bad thing.

As soon as Yuan Tiantian entered the mansion, Magu arrived to report on today's situation.

In recent times, Magu has become Yang Guang's best assistant. This guy looks dignified and has a very high execution ability. At first, Yang Guang was worried that Yuan Xiaoju had let a spy in, although I'm not completely reassured about Magu now, but at least this person is not a loser and can be used for work.

Magu said: "Your Highness, the craftsmen are studying the construction drawings of the shipyard, but there is something they don't understand. The craftsmen here are still not familiar with the use of cement. I would like to ask your Highness to order two people from Daxing City to come over and cooperate."

Yang Guang nodded: "Well, we are already on the way here. The general will be here in person. What's the situation on the other side of the canal?"

"The section from the Yangtze River to Luohe River is based on His Highness's plan. When the residents along the river learned that the canal was to be built, they all supported it very much. The matter will be over in the next two days, and the groundbreaking will be started immediately."

"Where are the supplies from Daxing City?"

"Everyone has been put into the warehouse. The thing called gunpowder was guarded by General Li Feng alone."

"Very good, everything is done well, step by step, make sure there are no mistakes. Just go down and continue to follow the plan."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Magu himself could tell that Yang Guang was very satisfied with him.

Although he had the handle in Yuan Xiaoju's hands, considering his future, it was obviously more promising to follow Yang Guang. Before Yuan Xiaoju shipped the goods, he did his best to gain Yang Guang's trust.

After Magu left, Yang Guang smiled slightly: "This person is not bad. If there are no problems after the canal is repaired, he will have a big responsibility. Such a person can only be a small river-opening envoy, but Motsuka Zai made a mistake."

At this time, Yuan Tiantian came out from behind and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid you may have made a mistake. This person is unknown."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Your Highness, you know that I know how to read faces. The fierce look on the man's face just now is extremely ominous. If I hadn't actually seen this person, I wouldn't be sure that some of the handsome and evil faces in the book really exist."

"What kind of expression is this? I've never heard it before."

Yuan Tiantian said with a deep expression: "Handsome-evil face is a type of evil-faced face, but because people with this kind of face look extremely handsome from the outside, a separate word "Jun" is added. Generally, people with evil-faced faces must have a fierce look. I want to stay away from him, but my handsome and evil face is not the same, it is easy to deceive people."

"A gentle scum, dressed like a beast?"

"Your Highness's words are so precise, it seems he also understands this appearance."

"No, no, no, I just summarized it with your description."

Yuan Tiantian nodded and said: "Yes, just as His Highness said, he is a fierce man under the gentle clothes."

"Although he is handsome, if you look carefully, Your Highness, you will see that the two sides of his face cannot withstand careful comparison and are not symmetrical. There are two possibilities for this kind of face, half Buddha and half man, half devil and half man."

Yang Guang listened very seriously to what Yuan Tiantian said. He has his own system of facial recognition, which always makes people fascinated.

"His eyes are one big and one small. There is not much difference, but if you look closely you can see that one is a normal eye and the other is a three-white eye. You can't tell when he is smiling, but when he stares, he looks slightly angry and then his face changes. .”

"The cheeks are fleshless and the lips are thin. His brows and eyebrows have been carefully trimmed. They look neat now, but in fact they should be very messy. This kind of person is extremely difficult to get along with. He pretends to be kind, so please don't let that happen to you, Your Highness." He lied."

"The flat bed in the heaven is full of evil aura. I'm afraid there is still a human life on my body."

After hearing what Yuan Tiantian said, Yang Guang thought about Magu's behavior before, and wondered if Yuan Tiantian had seen it wrong. After all, they had just met each other once, and even if they learned about physiognomy, Ma's father had his face smashed. Okay, don't have fun.

Yang Guang paced around for a while, and finally said to Wang Yi: "Wang Yi, secretly send someone to check this Magu to see if there is any problem."

Considering that I now trust Magu to do many things, I really need to investigate the details. After all, this is Yuan Xiaoju's person, so I can't trust him. If I check and find nothing wrong, I will try my best to win him over. If a capable minister has a problem, he should solve it as soon as possible. "Tiantian, you are so good at reading faces. Let everyone around you read them again."

"Your Highness, there is no need to look at most ordinary people because they don't have anything special. If I see something strange, I will tell you about it."

Yang Guang got up and went to see the situation of the canal, but someone ran in from the door and announced: "Your Highness, the Duke of Pushan is here."

"please come in."

Li Kuan stepped forward with a smile and saluted Yang Guang: "I have met His Highness the King of Jin, Li Kuan."

"Young Master, there is no need to be more polite. I wonder what the purpose of your visit today is?"

"Your Highness is digging canals and building shipyards. I feel that I should also do my part."

"The Duke is polite. It is best if the Duke is willing to help. However, the Duke is also busy with official duties and has to take care of the soldiers in the city. I understand this heartfelt sentiment."

Li Kuan took a sip of tea and said: "Your Highness, you are the great Sima in the world. Not all of us defenders of the city are under your control. We will all follow your words."

Theoretically speaking, Yang Guang is indeed their immediate boss.

Yang Guang made a suggestion: "My father is going to fight the Turks. It is expected that in the spring of next year, a large number of troops will be mobilized to fight. The troops in Luoyang City may not be moved, but grain, grass and other supplies will definitely be mobilized in large quantities. I think The Duke should be prepared as soon as possible and wait until the father needs it, and offer it immediately, at least it will please him in front of the father."

Li Kuan heard this and immediately said: "Thank you, His Highness King Jin, for your advice."

In fact, it was not considered a reminder, and what he was asked to do was not considered a meritorious service. It could only be said to be a little bit of information so that he could show his face in front of the emperor.

Because Li Kuan's son was Li Mi, Yang Guang did a little research on the relationship between Li Kuan and Yuan Xiaoju.

The two were superiors and subordinates with a relatively normal relationship. It was impossible to work together without conflicts. Yuan Xiaoju did not understand the military, and Li Kuan was slightly offended by him. Overall, they remained polite. In fact, the relationship was very ordinary.

This means that Li Kuan is still someone who can be won over. Just show a little kindness and wait until he is truly trusted before promoting him.

Li Kuan stood up and said respectfully: "Wei Chen Li Kuan leads Luoyang City's defense troops. If your Highness is useful, just tell me. If the guard strength around Your Highness is insufficient, Wei Chen will personally arrange it for His Highness."

"If you stay in the city temporarily, the number of guards is enough. You can't put too many soldiers in the house, otherwise it will attract people's attention. When necessary, I will speak to the county official."

Li Kuan understood what Yang Guang meant. He stood up and saluted: "If you dare to disturb me today, then I will leave first."

After Li Kuan left, Yang Guang asked Yuan Tiantian: "What does this person look like?"

"Ordinary people have a good life."

Yuan Tiantian's words were very simple, and they probably didn't say much.

Yang Guang got up and took her out with him to the location where the shipyard was built.

The craftsmen in Luoyang City are not familiar with things like cement and dare not use them rashly. There is basically no construction in the shipyard now, and Yang Guang is not in a hurry. He can wait until the general superintendent comes over to start.

Yuan Tiantian looked at the drawings and said, "Your Highness, your shipyard is so big, how big of a ship are you going to build?"

"Nature is huge."

At this time, Yuan Tiantian reminded: "Your Highness, we don't seem to need such a big ship, and can such a big ship really sail?"

"Be prepared. This shipyard is not only for shipbuilding, it is also a place to train shipbuilding craftsmen and improve shipbuilding technology in the next few years. In the future, our big ships will sail to the sea. Do you want to go to Japan to see it?"

"I don't want to." Yuan Tiantian refused bluntly.

"Ah? Is it so direct?"

"Why go to such a far away place when you can live happily at home?"

"You don't understand this. The Japanese country has mountains of gold and silver."

"Your Highness, you have never been there. How do you know that Japan has mountains of gold and silver?"

Yang Guang was stunned and realized that he had made a mistake. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't you know how to count? Just do the math."

"Your Highness, aren't you making things difficult for me? I am not very good at reading faces, but I have no ability to tell fortunes."

While the two were chatting, Magu ran over and said, "Your Highness, we encountered some problems while building the canal this afternoon."

"what happened?"

"The canal is going to be dug into the mountains, but there is an ancestral grave of a local prominent family on the route. I went to communicate with them today, but they were unwilling. I don't know how it got spread that we wanted to dig up their ancestral grave. People from all over the country are here. They have gathered around us, but the humble minister is of low ability and cannot handle this group of people, so he has no choice but to come and invite His Highness."
