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

Chapter 186 Xiuer my brother

"Brother Yang Guang: My brother Yang Xiu is approaching Yizhou. The territory here is complex, marching is difficult, and ambushes are easy to set up everywhere. It is not suitable for large-scale marches. I have been away from Beijing for many days. I hope my brother will take care of himself. My brother Yang Xiu writes it myself."

This is the first letter that Yang Xiu sent back when he went to Yizhou. It must have been a year. Yang Guang opened it and read it. He felt a little embarrassed for a while.

"Brother Yang Guang: I have arrived in Yizhou. The mountains and rivers near the city here are much more beautiful. In the first few days after arriving, I visited some famous mountains and rivers. They are indeed beautiful. One day I visited a local noble family and found that the noble family has too much power in the local area. Look at my brother. He was young and deliberately deceived me. My brother was worried and angry, but a strong dragon could not overwhelm a local snake. At least I didn’t dare to be disrespectful to my brother openly, so I tolerated it for the time being. My brother Yang Xiu wrote it himself."

"Brother Yang Guang: I have been in Yizhou for more than a month. In recent days, I have not thought about food and food. It is not government affairs. I have learned a lot since I came to Yizhou. Chief Shi Yuanyan has done his best. I cooperate with him in a tacit understanding. It is for women. I'm worried about things, brother, women are so annoying, why did my mother let me get a wife so early, written by my brother Yang Xiu."

"Brother Yang Guang: It's been almost two months since I arrived in Yizhou. I don't know why I haven't replied to my letter yet. I'm looking forward to your reply. I'll write it myself, Yang Xiu."

"Brother Yang Guang: There have been heavy rains in Yizhou recently. I am afraid that the accumulated water will cause illness. I inspected many places. I was relieved when I saw Dujiangyan. I deeply feel that Li Bing and his son are really gods. I am deeply moved by the project that has blessed future generations. When I think of the many large-scale buildings my brother has built, I admire him even more. I also want to build more facilities that benefit the people in Yizhou City. I wonder if my brother can reply to my letter for advice. My brother Yang Xiu has written it himself."

Seeing this, Yang Guang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Yang Xiu seemed to want to do something to benefit the people in Yizhou. When he saw a project like Dujiangyan, he was filled with emotion and envy. He asked him for help, and he But he didn't even look at it.

"Brother Yang Guang: I haven't received a reply from my brother yet. Maybe my brother feels that it is not a good thing to contact the vassal king outside. However, I only discuss people's livelihood matters with my brother. Officials from Chang'an City said that my brother has now made a mistake in Daxing City. There is something called cement, which can make the building taller and more stable, and it is my brother’s responsibility. I hope my brother will send me some, and my brother Yang Xiu will write it himself.”

"Brother Yang Guang: I haven't received a reply from my brother yet. I am deeply anxious, but I can understand my brother. By the way, the local prominent family who looked down on me when I first arrived in Yizhou was caught by me and gave me a lesson. The direct descendants of that family gathered together. Fornication, brothers swapping wives, father and son getting together to fight, it's really filthy, and he even robbed other people's girls for his own pleasure, and was caught and sued to the government. I wanted to suppress the matter, but I caught him Parade on the street, I must be feeling worried and angry now, but what I did is too disgusting, and now there is no help for the injustice, so I plan to suppress their family, divide the industry, and support others, my brother Yang Xiu wrote it himself."

"Brother Yang Guang: I sent some local specialties to my brother. My brother Yang Xiu wrote it myself."

……

After Yang Guang read Yang Xiu's letter, he had mixed feelings for a while. Although Yang Xiu had evil intentions and the city was deep, judging from the words in the letter, he really wanted to do something beneficial to the people when he arrived there. Come here, I want to make some achievements, but I have done a little wrong in this matter.

I am moved, but I still have to grab the famous general who should be snatched from you.

Who told it to be Zhang Xutuo?
Yang Guang picked up the pen and thought about it again before starting to write a reply to Yang Xiu.

"Brother Xiu'er: It's true that I don't reply to my brother's letter. It's actually due to my status. I have read my brother's letters and lamented that although my brother is young, he is steady in his work, behaves appropriately, and has a heart for the people. It is really rare. "Every time my brother is discussed in the court, he will speak out and praise my brother. Don't worry about my brother's affairs in the court. If you have ideas, just do it with confidence. Just keep your heart."

"My brother once said about cement. Before, cement was used on a trial basis and was not produced on a large scale. At this time, production has begun to expand. If my brother has any ideas, I will send people to Yizhou as soon as possible to set up a workshop to produce cement and dispatch craftsmen. Bring new house-building technology to Yizhou to benefit the people of Yizhou."

"Handwritten by my brother Yang Guang."

Yang Guang wrote a letter to Yang Xiu as quickly as possible, and ordered people to rush to deliver the letter. Zhang Xutuo was not mentioned in the letter. He couldn't just obviously rob him in his first reply. Now Give me some benefits to stabilize our Xiu'er.

The letter was sent out quickly.

At the same time, Yang Yong has been in the military camp these days. Since the last war, at least he has gathered a group of cronies. Who makes our Crown Prince so generous? He will give you big rewards after winning the battle. Seeing that he will follow the Crown Prince. If there is meat to eat, of course a group of people will gather around. Yang Yong drinks and eats meat with them and then pretends to lament.

"Why is your Royal Highness sighing?"

Yang Yong took a sip of wine and waved his hand: "Nothing, nothing..."

"His Royal Highness, if you have anything bothering you, you can tell it. If we can help, we will never postpone it."

The soldiers who can drink with the prince are not too low in rank and can understand the meaning of the prince's sigh.

"There's nothing else, I just feel depressed. I fought for the Sui Dynasty and risked my life, but my father handed over the power of the world's military to my second brother who had never fought. I really don't understand what my father is doing. What exactly does that mean?"

After drinking, Yang Yong began to vent: "How am I worse than my second brother? He has never even touched a sword, let alone fought. He likes to talk on paper with those scholars every day. It's just a comparison. I can say a few nice words to please my father, the emperor and my queen, but when I get to the battlefield, I don’t know if I can fight.”

Snapped

Then someone threw a cup and said, "What I despise the most are those people who can only talk. I am working hard on the front line, and they say a few words in court, and I get more than half of their credit."

The contradiction between civil servants and military generals has never been perfectly reconciled through the ages. In front of these generals, Yang Yong portrayed Yang Guang as a civil servant who commanded and flattered his horse. They instinctively began to hate Yang Guang, and Yang Guang now really He has no combat experience and no record of success.

To put it another way, this Da Sima parachuted a pen-wielding marshal, and there would be many people below who were dissatisfied.

No matter what, it's okay to say that, if you take care of them, they will definitely not cooperate.

Yang Yong's words excited the crowd for a while, and the generals agreed one after another.

On the contrary, Yang Yong became the one who comforted everyone: "I understand what you are thinking, but let's forget about it while we drink and talk. Don't mention it after we get out of here, so as not to cause unnecessary offense." "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince is really Kindness, for thinking about us, we must repay His Highness the Crown Prince, and we must not let His Highness the Crown Prince suffer any injustice."

"Yeah yeah."

"I absolutely support His Highness the Crown Prince."

Yang Yong was satisfied when he saw everyone's reaction: "Well, I think everyone is very angry. Come with me today to get angry. A new group of female Kunlun slaves have arrived. Let me take some brothers to enjoy it."

As soon as they heard about Kunlun Slave, many people were in trouble.

how to say?Before you eat black-bone chicken, you may be dissuaded by its appearance, but after eating black-bone chicken, you will know what a great supplement is.

Yang Yong laughed out loud when he saw their expressions: "Brothers are brave enough to charge into battles on the battlefield. They can break through dragon pools and tiger beards, but why are they so timid in Daxing City?"

"His Royal Highness, we are not waiting for you to show off. This is the first time for us, a big girl, to get on the sedan chair."

"Once it is born, it will be ripe again. You don't know that the Kunlun slave is the best at replenishing the fire."

Yang Yong then led everyone to Changlefang.

……

In a blink of an eye, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, and the Queen and the Emperor entertained the ministers as usual. Queen Dugu kept dragging Xiao Menglan around in the back garden, clearly neglecting the Crown Princess and Yun Zhaoxun, who was holding the baby.

He still pretends to be in front of others, but when there are few people, he doesn’t even pretend, and he doesn’t say a word.

The Crown Princess came forward to please: "Mother, why don't we hold a poetry gathering during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year?"

In previous years, he would write poems to entertain himself. In order to please the two saints, Yang Yong spent a lot of money to buy poems this time. He was preparing to outdo Yang Guang and get the limelight, but who would have thought that this link would be completely eliminated this year.

"It becomes boring if it happens every year."

The Crown Princess was unwilling to give in: "My mother always adds poems to the entertainment every year, but without it, it would seem less lively."

Queen Dugu became very angry when she saw the worthless look of the Crown Princess. Recently, her relationship with the Crown Prince got better and she tolerated the Crown Prince in everything.

A woman who is not loved is useless even if she behaves in a cowardly manner.

Empress Dugu said impatiently: "It's just some poems to add elegance and is dispensable. Besides, Amo has already suppressed the world's literati. Any more Amo will just be an Amo to add interest to the poems. I have asked Ah Mo, he is not interested in writing poetry today."

The Crown Princess was reluctant: "But the Queen Mother..."

"There is no need to talk about this matter anymore. Besides, His Majesty has important matters over there. King Wei is back. Don't usurp the throne."

Queen Dugu turned to Xiao Menglan and whispered: "Menglan, when can Master Sun's surgery be used on Lao Wu?"

Xiao Menglan was a little embarrassed: "Queen Mother, it won't be long. Master Sun said before that the research is almost done."

"That's fine, that's fine. This is a matter that concerns me. If it can be cured, I will give Master Sun a big reward."

Xiao Menglan said with some worry at this time: "Mother, I heard that Uncle Wei Wang came back because there is another war in the north."

"Don't listen to what is said outside. There is no war but preparation for war. King Wei must come back before the year to explain the arrangements. Also, Princess Wei is pregnant and has been specially escorted back to rest."

"Mother, this is a great joy."

Empress Dugu said with a smile: "Yes, it's a coincidence that she came back. She just came back yesterday and today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. She was supposed to go to the palace, but the month is small and the travel is tiring. I asked her to rest at home and go to the house to meet in person tomorrow. , you go with me."

"Yes, mother."
