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

Chapter 214
Li Yuan's appointment was issued quickly. No one was too surprised that Li Yuan, who had the title of Duke and was the emperor's nephew, received an appointment of this level.

On the contrary, Queen Dugu was very satisfied and praised His Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, Li Yuan is a stable and mature man. This appointment is excellent. However, he has never been good at martial arts. It will take some time for him to adapt to this position. Your Majesty will also need to arrange a few capable helpers to help him."

His nephew, Empress Dugu, was naturally attracted to her. Yang Jian smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about that. Li Yuan is never impatient when doing things. At such a young age, he is like a man of 50 or [-] years old. He is also multi-faceted in dealing with people." Even if there are some omissions, you can solve them by yourself. Don’t worry, I will help.”

After receiving such firm words of help from Yang Jian, Queen Dugu was in a good mood and talked about Li Yuan's sister Tang Tong'an.

"Your Majesty, Tang Tong'an has been staying in the Jin Palace for a long time. I said a few words to Meng Lan in a subtle way. Meng Lan didn't seem to object to Tang An staying in the Jin Palace from now on. A noble lady has lived in someone else's house for so long. People in the capital know that There are a lot of people out there, I’m afraid it will be difficult to find a husband.”

Yang Jian could clearly see through the little thoughts of Mrs. Old Tang Guogong at a glance. Who could not understand the obvious thoughts?

"Then what do you mean?"

"Tong'an himself is well-behaved, and the relationship between Li Yuan and Amo is so close. It is best to get closer and closer, and let nature take its course, so let's do it."

"Didn't you object to having a side room before?"

Queen Dugu sighed softly: "After all, it is extremely important for the royal family to spread its branches and leaves. It is enough for me to give birth to five sons for your majesty, but the children may not be as good as your majesty and me for the sake of the royal family." It is reasonable for a bloodline to have two wives, but it is definitely not acceptable for those with low status."

When she said this, the image of Yun Luo flashed in Queen Dugu's mind. She hated this woman very much, but her belly was too promising, so she became pregnant again.

"Then let it take its course. When Amo returns triumphantly, this matter will proceed naturally."

After talking about these common things, Queen Dugu asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, the team you asked Li Yuan to form will really not arouse the resentment of the ministers in the court?"

"I need these people now, and making people fearful is probably the best way to do it in this special time."

……

……

The time is quickly approaching the New Year's Day. Although there are tight borders at various places, the city of Daxing is still very lively, and people move around more frequently as the New Year's Day approaches.

At Duke Shu's house, Liu Fang, Duke of Shu, who had made a big mistake before, also opened the door to entertain guests at this time. Although the previous incident caused a lot of fuss, Liu Fang himself had a wide social circle, and everyone gave him face. It has been so long since the incident. No one mentioned it.

At this time, Liang Shiyan, the Duke of the State of Yi, arrived at the house and brought his wife. Liu Fang and his wife looked at each other and welcomed them in.

Mrs. Liang Shiyan said: "I am going to the backyard to meet you ladies. You two can chat for a while."

"Go ahead."

Two dukes were left in the front hall, and they talked: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Duke Xin. How nice it is to be here these days."

Liang Shiyan lamented: "Look, I am the general manager of Bozhou and the military officers of 24 states. I was the one who put down Yuchi Jiong's rebellion. Now I am idle at home with nothing to do. Do you think I can be good? I am too idle."

"Hey, Lord Xi, your majesty is now at war with the Turks. Most of the troops have been transferred to the northern front. Are you planning to fight the Turks to the death? Your Majesty doesn't really think that you can defeat the Turks in such a battle."

"Who knows, I don't have a military position, so I don't know their specific deployment."

Liu Fang added to the jealousy: "Yes, your Majesty is really true. He would rather let a young boy like the King of Jin go to the battlefield and make mischief than use loyal Sui officials like us. Look at what is coming back from the border. The news is that the King of Jin was seriously injured, and the Yanmen Pass guard general negotiated peace with the Turks, and continued to send food and supplies to the Turks. What is the reason for this?"

"In other words, I would have been beheaded by the court long ago."

Because of what happened last time, Liu Fang hated Yang Guang, so when he talked about Yang Guang, he deliberately spoke in a negative direction.

"Hey, hey, hey, what else can I say? I can just live my own comfortable life in peace and contentment."

"Has Duke Tan thought of any other ideas?"

As soon as Liu Fang said this, Duke Xi immediately became vigilant and laughed loudly: "Gong Shu, you really know how to joke. Now there are powerful enemies in the north and south. Who dares to have any ideas? How can one survive if he can't attack from both sides?" It’s still not certain how long it will take?”

"That's right, that's right. Mr. Xi, please take a rest first. I have an honored guest to receive. Please bear with me."

"Come back early, we won't come home until you and I are drunk today."

Liu Fang walked out of the front hall, went to the backyard, and reached his study room. The person waiting for him in the study room was none other than Lady Liu, the wife of Duke Xi.

With loving eyes, Ms. Liu walked over quickly as soon as she saw Liu Fang and got into his arms.

"We haven't seen you for a long time, Liu Lang. You seem to have lost some weight."

The dignified Ms. Liu always looked like a dignified lady in front of her husband, but in front of Liu Fang, she looked tender, shy and silent. It is no exaggeration to say that her husband had never seen her look like this. "I have worked hard on you during this period. Because of what happened before, although His Majesty did not give any explicit orders, I feel like I am under house arrest. I am really helpless, but my thoughts about you have never diminished at all during this time..."

Mrs. Liu snuggled against Liu Fang's chest like a weak breeze, and put her finger on his mouth to signal him not to say more. Her beautiful eyes were full of love and watery.

"Liu Lang, I am very satisfied to see you."

Looking at the thin Liu Fang, he picked up Mrs. Liu in his arms, walked straight to the desk in his study, put it on the table, swept his hand, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone fell down.

Sven sweeps the floor.

Liu Fang opened the heavy robe, revealing a beautiful woman in winter wearing expensive and complicated clothes.

But at the critical moment, Liu Fang stopped and said with regret: "No, we can't do this. Duke Xi is in the front hall, but my wife and I do this. I really feel sorry for Duke Xi."

A special routine for scumbag men. The final kick is to transfer the guilt of doing something wrong to the other party. It is a high-end pua technique.

Mrs. Liu sat on the table, put her arms around Liu Fang's neck, and said reluctantly: "Liu Lang, you and I have already been in touch with each other. How can we take the taboos in the world to heart? Besides, you and I My husband is a like-minded man and a man of the same ideals."

In the study room, the flower path on the desk has never been swept by visitors, and the tent door is now opened for you.

Outside the study, a little boy servant wrote down everything he saw and heard.

The recorded information will be summarized to Li Yuan. The Yingyang Captain established by Li Yuan has placed spies throughout Daxing City to collect shady information about these dignitaries. The emperor will not publish this information at this time. , but file it away and use it when you need it.

Li Yuan will also send some of the more important information to Yang Guang, because he knows that his ultimate allegiance is to Yang Guang. No matter what others say, this is the case. The choice must be made to the end. Only Yang Guang will continue. He can only go further by going up. If Yang Guang cannot go up, he will definitely be implicated.

It's just that he hid it well and was not discovered by Yang Jian.

……

Some time later, Yang Guang, who was at the border, received a letter from Li Yuan. After reading it, he couldn't help but frown and then smiled disdainfully: "What kind of ability is this Liu Fang? He is a tauren mad warrior. His husband is so bold just in the front hall." At this point, this Duke of Nie is miserable enough."

Yuan Tiantian massaged Yang Guan from behind. Hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh: "This woman is really a despicable person."

"I have to say that Liu Fang has something, I have to ask for advice next time."

"Your Highness! Don't you think so too?"

"What are you thinking about? You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. It is right to learn more skills to protect yourself."

Yuan Tiantian didn't know what to say, so he changed the subject and asked: "Your Highness, the New Year has passed, and the Turks have really been negotiating peace with us this winter. It has been smoother than we expected, and the peace talks have also achieved some substantive results." They want our Sui Dynasty to marry another daughter to him, and then they will withdraw from the army, and respectfully call His Majesty the Great Sui Khan, so as to help each other and be friendly."

Yang Guang stood up and asked Yuan Tiantian to dress him.

"I can see through the negotiation during this time. The reason why things went so smoothly is that Sabolo Khan wanted to establish his merits and stabilize his position. According to the practice of previous dynasties, he did send a daughter there, and he would send another daughter in the next few years. These things should be able to settle down for a while.”

He straightened his clothes for a while and continued: "But I said in court that my Yang family's daughter is not getting married, so I have to keep my word."

At this time, a scout rode a fast horse into Yanmen Pass from the direction of Shuozhou City. After entering the city gate, he turned over and dismounted, and quickly rushed to the city wall. He held up the flag and shouted: "Urgent report, urgent report." .”

Yu Dehuai met with the scouts, and after hearing the report, Lu happily strode to where Yang Guang was.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Yang Guang's door opened by itself, and a handsome young man walked out. This was the first time Yang Guang had left the room in a while.

"I will finally meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin in Dehuai."

Yang Guang asked them to excuse themselves, and then said with a smile: "I felt that the weather was getting warmer today, so I walked out."

Yu Dehuai couldn't help but smile: "His Royal Highness, the scouts from ahead are reporting that most of the winter snow has melted away."

"it is good."

"it is good."

"it is good!"

"Today the snow melts and Yixing troops come out of the customs!"
