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

Chapter 347 Although she is a loli
The newspapers in Daxing City began to exert their efforts.

It was obvious that the surrender of Nanchen could not be concealed, and it would not be concealed, so the Daxingcheng Daily began to exaggerate the matter as soon as possible and wrote a large article about the causes and consequences, starting from the time when Prince Yang Guang went to Xiliang , took the warship to bombard Nanchen and began to exaggerate that it was Yang Guang's deployment and contribution.

Then he added lightly at the end, King Yang Xiu of Shu led his troops to the expedition, but Nan Chen had already surrendered before leaving Daxing City.

The elegant courtyard of Prince Shu's Mansion has different flowers blooming all year round. Because Dong Meiren likes flowers, Yang Xiu planted them all.

"damn it!!"

Yang Xiu screamed and cursed. She sat in front of the stone table and threw the newspaper to the ground. She was very angry.

Dong Shenglan stretched out her slender hand and gently touched Yang Xiu's chest. The weak and boneless beauty comforted the depressed Yang Xiu.

"Your Highness, why are you angry? This is obviously a plan of His Royal Highness, just to make you angry. It's not worth it to make you angry."

Yang Xiu held Dong Shenglan in his arms, and his voice softened a lot: "Of course I know the truth, but this newspaper is in the hands of the second brother. From now on, he will do whatever he says, and it will be very detrimental to me, so there is nothing." People who understand get their news by reading newspapers, and the reports in newspapers are obviously biased, so they will definitely follow this guidance, and people lack the ability to judge of their own."

"I also have to work as a newspaper publisher."

Yang Xiu made up his mind, otherwise he felt that Yang Guang's family would be the dominant one in terms of public opinion in the future, and it would be whatever he said. What's the point?
Yuan Yan arrived at this time and saw Dong Meiren clinging to Yang Xiu's body, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Yang Xiu and Dong Shenglan have a good relationship, and they don't mind showing it in front of others. Yuan Yan doesn't like Xiaoqiang's straightforward and passionate expression of emotion, but because Yang Xiu is actually like Dong Shenglan, he is not as arrogant and lewd as Yang Jun. generation, so Yuan Yan, the long history, turned a blind eye.

"Yuan Changshi, why are you here today?"

"Your Highness, King of Shu, I thought about the peace talks in Nanchen last night. Your Highness, you and your Majesty must go and ask for orders to participate in the peace talks."

"Why?"

"First, peace talks can never be finalized in a day or two. Your Highness can take this opportunity to show His Highness your talents at the negotiating table. Fighting is important, but the ability to subdue others without fighting is also demonstrated by Your Highness. good chance."

"Secondly, it is His Royal Highness's duty to conquer Nancheng. This credit must not be given away to others, otherwise His Highness will probably have to return to Shu to claim vassal status soon."

When Yang Xiu heard about the feudal clan, he was excited.

Although the land of Shu is not bad, after experiencing the prosperity of Daxing City, he wants to stay in Daxing City. Moreover, if he goes out to become a vassal, then there may be no hope of leaving the throne in this life.

"Yuan Changshi, what should I do?"

"His Royal Highness entered the palace and told you that you want to go to war for the country, and that you hope to join the mission to conduct peace talks on behalf of the Sui Dynasty. You will definitely implement His Majesty's policy towards Nanchen and strive for more success for the Sui Dynasty at the negotiation table. Good conditions.”

"But my father has handed over the matter to Gao Jiong. Will my father withdraw?"

"Of course it is not a withdrawal. Although Gao Jiong is the executor of the peace talks, such peace talks must involve the participation of the clan members. Your Highness, you are the best choice."

"Okay, I'll go into the palace right now."

Yang Xiu went to take the order. Yang Guang got the news quickly, but he didn't feel anything strange. Instead, he said to Li Yuan beside him: "It would be strange that he didn't go to take the order. That's Yuan Yan." Long history of dereliction of duty.”

Li Yuan said: "Your Highness, won't you take care of him?"

"Compared with his great achievements in conquering Nanchen, at the negotiation table, he can talk whatever he wants. You can't go against him in everything, otherwise your father will blame you."

Li Yuan asked again: "Then do we need to make any arrangements for Nanchen's situation?"

"No need for now, wait for them to talk first. Nanchen will not end the negotiations so soon. How is the recent situation with Changsha Wang Chen Shujian?"

Li Yuan told Yang Guang about Nanchen's situation: "Although Nanchen's surrender this time was unexpected, it is also reasonable."

"Chen Shubao, the emperor of Nanchen, is not as happy as he is. It can be said that everyone knows that Chen Shujian, the king of Changsha, covets the throne. Moreover, Chen Shujian holds real power and has actual control of nearly one-fifth of Nanchen's army. Basically, Don’t listen to Chen Shubao.”

"The ministers of Nanchen are also troubled by the emperor's mediocrity. Chen Shubao is also a person who likes extravagance and waste. He has not achieved anything in his political achievements in the past few years. There are many more fantastic buildings in the Jiankang Palace. Moreover, he said that the buildings in Jiankang City must be taller than those in Daxing City and more prosperous than those in Daxing City, which is a waste of national power."

At this point, Li Yuan smiled disdainfully: "Chen Shubao really mistakenly overestimated Nanchen's own strength. How does the financial and national power of the Nanchen royal family compare with our Sui Dynasty?"

Yang Guang smiled lightly: "I've been feeling much better recently. I'm thinking about going hunting on horseback sometime."

"Your Highness, you'd better rest more."

……

In the afternoon, the emperor summoned Yang Guang to the palace to discuss the terms of the peace talks.

"Prince, the peace talks with Nan Chen must involve the members of the clan. Your injuries have not healed yet, so I plan to let the King of Shu go."

"My father is a wise man, but I think I can let my fifth brother go with me. Although my fifth brother is young, he is also the prince of the Sui Dynasty and should contribute to the Sui Dynasty. This peace negotiation is not a war, and the risk is much smaller. It is just right Let the fourth brother take the fifth brother out to have a long experience. I believe that this peace negotiation can help the fifth brother learn a lot."

Yang Guang pushed Yang Liang out in a reasonable manner. The emperor looked at Yang Xiu after hearing this: "King Shu, what do you think?"

If Yang Liang is allowed to join, then Yang Liang's name will be added to any memorial this time, and the merit will be directly scored. However, if Yang Liang is refused to join, it is greed for merit and does not love his younger brother.

Yang Xiu was unhappy, but couldn't show it, so she could only secretly criticize Yang Guang's good and bad thoughts.

"Father, it's natural for fifth brother to join us."

"Okay, then this time the peace talks will require you, the elder brother, to take care of the fifth child."

The discussion can be considered as officially entering into the topic.The emperor said: "In response to the twelve conditions proposed by Nan Chen, today we will implement the feasibility and infeasibility one by one, and discuss our own conditions. Gao Jiongqian will be responsible for this matter, and Yu Qing will assist you and the King of Shu. Now I’m going to order people to announce that Lao Wu will also enter the palace, and even if I don’t have any opinions, I’ll just follow him and learn from him.”

After giving instructions to them, Yang Jian continued: "Prince, please follow me to the Royal Garden."

Yang Jian took Yang Guang to the Royal Garden alone. Yang Jian retreated, leaving only the father and son alone and asked, "Are you sure your injury is okay?"

"Father, it's nothing serious."

"I won't say so many roundabout words with you. The person who assassinated you this time was a member of the Kong family. After Kong Sheng and Kong Bo were deposed, although there was no explicit order to suppress Confucianism, I received some There are only a few exceptions, schools in various places have begun to suppress Confucianism, and the Confucian brothers do not respect the imperial power, but Confucianism is good after all."

How could Yang Guang not understand the meaning behind the emperor's words? He needed Confucianism to govern the country, because moderation is always the most stable culture, and stability is the foundation of an empire, so it cannot be shaken.

This time, the assassination of the prince of the dynasty by a Confucian leader naturally caused quite a stir. They kept shouting that those who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic are neither loyal to the emperor nor patriotic. For a time, students in major schools and those who accepted the new education were all He began to accuse and even insult the Kong family, and the Kong family's status plummeted.

But both Yang Jian and Yang Guang knew that this was only a short-term phenomenon and would soon pass. The mainstay of the court and the mainstream of all walks of life was still Confucianism. It was impossible and not allowed to overthrow it.

Yang Jian continued to say pointedly: "Now that the matter has passed, the murderer and his accomplices must be killed and punished as they deserve, but it doesn't matter who they are. As the prince, you have to set an example and don't let things develop." It cannot end, it is better to stabilize it as soon as possible."

What else can we do if the emperor says this?

Yang Guang nodded and said: "Father, don't worry, I will go to the school to appease the doctors and Mrs. Wang Long."

At this time, the emperor changed the topic: "While you are talking with Nan Chen and there is no danger on the southern front, you can go to Qufu to gather what should be gathered, win over what should be drawn, punish what should be punished, and assassinate. If you are implicated once, see for yourself and don’t keep any of them. There is no reason for people to think that our royal family is easy to bully."

"My son understands."

The communication between the two masters was always very smooth, and Yang Guang almost never failed to comply with Yang Jian's requests. This was also what Yang Jian was most satisfied with.

Walking to the depths of the Imperial Garden, Queen Dugu was already waiting here. In the elegant little pavilion, eight-color fruits were placed in a square grid in front of Queen Dugu, and the fragrance of tea overflowed.

At this time, she was looking at the three portraits in front of her.

"What are you looking at, Queen Mother?"

When Yang Guang got closer, he saw the three portraits in front of Queen Dugu, all of which were beautiful women.

Queen Dugu said with some distress: "These are the portraits of the three princesses of Nanchen. The fourth daughter, Princess Guangde, the fifth daughter, Princess Lincheng, and the sixth daughter, Chen Ting, are the three princesses that the Chen Dynasty came to marry. , based on their portraits, they are all really talented, Amo, look at which one is more suitable for you."

The portraits of this era have the same characteristics as modern photoshopped photos, which is absolutely unbelievable.

"Queen mother, we have enough children, wives and concubines, let's leave it to my brothers."

Empress Dugu sighed and said: "My mother knows that you value friendship and have never taken concubines in these years unless you have to. You were wronged by marrying the Turks before. But as the prince of the Sui Dynasty, you should share the country's worries now. The Turks They all married the prince of the Sui Dynasty, but the princess from the wealthy area of ​​Nanchen was unable to marry the prince. It is hard to guarantee that the other party felt that they were being slighted. Instead, it was not good because this matter delayed the progress of other negotiations. "

It was well-founded and reasonable, and even Yang Guang felt that if he disagreed, he would be sorry for his parents and the country.

"Mother, ah... sons and ministers... have full authority to be arranged by the father, the emperor and the queen."

Queen Dugu pulled Yang Guang and came to the three portraits and said: "Look at these three princesses of Nanchen. They are all as beautiful as flowers. The land of Nanchen is rich in water, soil and rain. No one is born." It’s also a bit more delicate, although it’s a bit flirtatious but it’s really good-looking.”

"Look at Princess Guangde. She is the eldest daughter of Chen Shubao. She is doted on like the apple of her eye. She is good at poetry, poetry, and poetry. She has also made great achievements in tea ceremony and painting. She is a rare talented woman, and is as famous as you in the Sui Dynasty. The great poet is a perfect match, her mother gave birth to Chen Shubao's second son, and he is considered a capable brother who has the support of the family, which is very good."

After Grandma Li introduced happily, it could be seen from her attitude that Queen Dugu was obviously most satisfied with Princess Guangde, but Yang Guang was unmoved and looked at the next picture.

Queen Dugu introduced the second picture.

"This is Princess Lincheng. She is the most beautiful of Chen Shubao's three daughters. It is said that many people wanted to marry her, but Chen Shubao refused because of her young age."

Yang Guang looked at the beautiful Chinese woman, still unmoved.

Aunt Li had no choice but to introduce the last one: "This is Chen Ting, Chen Shubao's sixth daughter. She is only 10 years old and has not yet been canonized. Her mother is just a palace beauty."

After hearing the information from the three people, Yang Guang shook his head helplessly and made his final choice: "Mother, if I really have to choose one, I will choose Chen Shubao's sixth daughter, Chen Ting."

"what?"

Everyone, including the emperor, looked at Yang Guang. No matter how they thought, Chen Ting was the worst choice, and she was not even within the scope of Queen Dugu's consideration. However, Yang Guang chose the princess who was the least helpful to him.

"Amo, you have to think carefully."

"Mother, I have thought very clearly. The eldest daughter of the emperor of the Chen Dynasty is about the same age as me. A woman who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting may be sentimental. She is not yet married at such a young age. I feel that I have to be careful. I am afraid that I will invite you. When the female Bodhisattva returns home, the house will be disturbed and the children and ministers will lose more than the gain."

Queen Dugu, who was a little surprised when she heard Yang Guang say this, nodded with satisfaction.

"Princess Lincheng is of the right age. A woman who is just leaving the palace can easily get into trouble if she is too beautiful. Now that I am so peaceful in the back house, I don't know if I rashly insert a stunningly beautiful woman. Harmony, let’s forget it.”

"As for the sixth daughter of the emperor, I don't know if she is good or bad. She is still young. When she was brought in, Meng Lan treated her like a younger sister. Although she is a woman from another country, she was raised in the house at a young age. , when we get older, we can always get closer."

"My son, this is how I considered it."

It's definitely not because I want to develop something, absolutely not.
