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

Chapter 218 The best candidate

When Sabolo Khan was brought back and brought in front of Yang Guang, he discovered that this was the first time he had seen the Jin King of the Sui Dynasty after fighting with the Sui army for such a long time.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Sabolo Khan couldn't help but feel sad. On the way here, he already knew that the person dragging them with the peace strategy was the King of Jin, and the one who decided to surround and kill them was also the King of Jin. In fact, a large part of the reason why he lost to Yang Shuang was because of the young man in front of him.

And this young man is so young, and King Wei who is good at conquering and fighting is also so young, how can the future of the Sui Dynasty be determined?

Yang Guang and Yang Shuang were sitting in the tent, and Sha Bolue was being held down and kneeling in front of them.

Yang Guang spoke first: "Don't be rude. Show your seat to Shabolu Khan."

Shabolu Khan was then offered a seat, and Yang Guang ordered people to bring him some food and drink, and entertained him well.

Sabolo Khan, who was hungry all the way, didn't care about his image and started eating regardless.

After he finished eating, he asked: "I wonder why you two treat me like this?"

Yang Guangcai spoke: "My father has made Princess Qianjin an adopted daughter. So Sabolo Khan is still the son-in-law of our Sui Dynasty. Our Sui Dynasty has always paid attention to etiquette, so we should treat her well."

Sabolo Khan thought to himself: "They were all killed by my army, now you want to negotiate with me?"

But judging from Yang Guang and Yang Shuang's attitude and words, the two of them didn't seem to have any intention of killing him.

"Two great Sui princes, if you two have anything to say, just say it."

Because Yang Guang called him Khan, he also returned the courtesy. After all, the person is in their hands, and you can't be too pretentious when people are nice and angry.

"Khan is really a cheerful person, so I won't beat around the bush. We hope that Khan can issue an edict to inform the entire Turkic territory. If Khan is willing, he will be loyal to our Sui Dynasty and bow his head as vassal..."

Before Yang Guang finished speaking, Sabolo Khan interrupted him.

"Delusion, I would rather you kill me than surrender and become the laughing stock of my tribe. I am defeated and killed. I admit it. I lost."

"Shabolu Khan is indeed a loyal man. He is very fierce. I admire him very much when I see him. But Khan has to think about it. Now that the Turks have been defeated and the main force is dead and wounded, has Khan considered it? What will happen to your family, wife and children if you die here?"

He had some backbone, but only a little. If he was really fierce, he would commit suicide when he was caught. How could he be like what he is doing now?

"Needless to say, it is absolutely impossible for me to surrender and become a vassal."

"Khan, there is no need to make such a hasty decision. Let's stay here first. We have a lot of time. Why not come with me to the capital to have a look."

Hearing this, Sabolo Khan was shocked, but before he could say anything, he was invited down and imprisoned alone.

After he left, Yang Shuang asked Yang Guang: "Why did you say he was the best candidate before? Now it seems that he has some backbone, but he is mediocre, and he has a deep hatred with Sui Dynasty. Let him go. Operating for a while may pose a threat to Sui Dynasty."

The two had previously discussed what to do after agreeing to the war with the Turks. Winning the war was one thing, but the long-term peace and stability that followed was another major event.

"Uncle Wang, we cannot completely conquer the Turks now, and our people are unwilling to go further north, so the best option is to select a Turkic royal family to surrender to us and divide and govern the Turks."

"I still think Sabolo Khan, who has an extreme hatred for us, is not the best candidate."

"No, he is the best candidate. There is no one more suitable than him."

"Why?"

"First, he himself cannot convince the public within the Turks. After this defeat, his prestige has been further reduced. Unless he can work hard to govern as a different person in the next time and lead the Turks to achieve greater glory, otherwise he should We will never be able to summon so many Turkic soldiers like this time again, so we have no worries."

"Secondly, although the probability is not high, allowing him to go back and support him as Khan can prevent the Turks from having a strong man who can calm everyone and become the leader of the Turks in the chaos. In comparison, it is obviously Shabo who knows his ability. A little Khan is more reassuring.”

"Third, even though he lost, his family still has great power in the Turks. Those who were dissatisfied with him will inevitably split this time. In order to maintain his own life and power, the only way he can take is to rely on the big people. Sui."

After listening to Yang Guang's analysis, Yang Shuang fell into deep thought: "Let's see if he is willing to cooperate."

……

……

In the Battle of Baidao, the news that the Sui army almost completely wiped out the Turkic army spread back to Daxing City. The emperor rarely laughed in the court hall, and the whole hall was filled with the emperor's laughter.

The hearty feeling and the unbridled heart are really refreshing.

The emperor immediately said: "Send this good news to the border and spread it to all parts of the country. This news should be known to everyone."

"As for this news, let the Daxingcheng newspaper industry write it down for me. People all over the world should also rejoice with me. I will write it today and see it in the newspaper tomorrow."

With Huang Di's instructions, the Daxingcheng Newspaper Group immediately took action.

The current newspaper group has a multi-story building that is very conspicuous in Daxing City. Because of the popularity of the newspaper, it has now opened up the novel and illustrated business, which has greatly enriched the entertainment culture of Daxing City residents.

At this time, on the top floor, a group of hard-working authors are working hard to write books. The work of authors has been hard work since ancient times.Two sisters, Yun Rui and Yun Qi, let’s see which one.

"No, this description is not good enough. His Highness the King of Jin won a great victory this time. It is also a rare great victory in history. How can you just write like this? He is wise, powerful and talented, but he only knows these vulgar words. Really? How can I be worthy of His Highness the King of Jin?"

Yunrui scolded the author who couldn't think of good words with a serious face.

Yun Qi waved Yun Rui over: "Come and take a look at the portrait of His Highness King Jin painted by this artist."

"No, this won't work. His Highness's eyes are a little bigger than this, and his eyes are not serious and majestic enough. His face is painted a bit childish. No, no, redraw it."

The painter was helpless. There were scraps of manuscripts all over the floor. The workload was too great. He said helplessly: "What about His Royal Highness King Wei's?"

"It's very lifelike, this is it."

"Miss Yunrui, please take a look."

"I said it's very good. Now I will start painting the portrait of His Highness Prince Jin wholeheartedly. It will be published in the newspaper tomorrow, so there is no chance of sloppiness!"

Yun Qi and Yun Rui were afraid that their work was not good enough, their paintings were not good enough, their writing was not good enough, and they failed to describe the majesty and handsomeness of King Jin. They were so nervous and excited that they were sweating and frowning anxiously. The wrinkles are tight, but the corners of the mouth often have a slight smile involuntarily.

Regarding this newspaper, the two girls were very busy and could not cause any problems.

When the newspaper was published the next day, there were two large portraits on the cover. One was of King Wei and the other was of King Jin. If you don’t look closely, there is not much difference between the two. But if you look carefully, the portrait of King Wei is The painter's skills are completely different from King Jin's nearly refined painters.

It's like two good friends took a photo together, but only photoshopped themselves.

As for the adjectives in the article, forget about them. King Wei only has the opening sentence: "King Yang Shuang of Wei is wise and powerful, and can conquer and fight well."

When it was Yang Guang's turn, he wrote three full lines of adjectives.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is a young hero, loyal and courageous, not afraid of strong enemies, ready to fight, writing a pen that will be passed down through the ages, a handsome and handsome young man of the ancestral line, raising his glass and looking at the blue sky, as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind, speaking loudly, and spitting out the sound of thousands of feet of clouds. He is ambitious and bold, like a lion descending from the clouds that shakes the sky.”

After this newspaper was printed, the emperor's order was spread to various places, and it also reached the border as soon as possible, and Yang Guang himself saw it.

Yang Shuang was nearby when he saw it, and Yang Guang felt a little embarrassed.

He smiled without embarrassment and said: "Uncle Wang, this...well...I did not authorize or participate in this..."

"No need to explain, it's okay."

"Uncle Wang, great atmosphere."

"Stop talking about this. You will return to Daxing City soon. Do you really want to take Sabolo Khan with you?"

"Take, take him for a walk."

"What's going on with Yiyetan Buddha Country? I took people to destroy it the day before yesterday and came back so soon."

Yang Guang lamented helplessly. Now that the Turks had been pacified, he wanted to go to pacify the Yiyetan Buddha Kingdom that had not been pacified before. However, the matter had been delayed for so long. Now the buildings were empty of people, leaving only one who was destroyed by fire. No trace could be found on the top of the mountain.

"Hey, I didn't expect them, but it's impossible for so many people to disappear out of thin air. I remember saying before that this organization came from Zhuo County. We need to continue to investigate. This organization cannot be allowed to develop."

Yang Guang was very worried about these evil organizations. Thinking of this, he directly sent an order to Zhuojun to thoroughly investigate whether the so-called Yiyetan Buddha Kingdom existed in the area.

"You seem to be very worried about the One-leaf Sandalwood Kingdom?"

"Yes, this organization corrupts people's hearts, and it also corrupted our border generals without us knowing it. Fortunately, it was not too late to discover it, and we have remedied it. This kind of organization is afraid that if it is not eliminated in the early stage, it will be destroyed when it develops. Trouble."

Yang Shuang said with disdain: "Foolish people believe in this evil way and fool people's hearts."

"Yes, Uncle Wang, but the people are so ignorant."

Yang Shuang remained silent, and after a while he said, "Since you have already asked Zhuojun to investigate, there is no need to worry too much. It is just a crooked way of a bandit organization, and it will definitely be solved."

At this time Qin Qiong walked in: "His Royal Highness King Jin, Shabolu Khan said that he wants to see you and His Highness King Wei."

Yang Guang smiled: "Has this changed your mind?"

"It's faster than expected."

"Uncle Wang, come with me to meet him. It would be great if you can deal with him before going back."

"Please invite Khan Sabolo to come and sit in the hall."
