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

Chapter 48 Splendid Shu Armor

With the support of the people, what Yang Guang did today was a great success.

The construction site was in full swing for a while, as if a chicken blood had been injected into it.

However, a soldier ran up next to Yu Wenhuaji and whispered a few words in his ear. Yu Wenhuaji waved his hand solemnly and asked him to leave first.

He walked to Yang Guang's side and whispered: "Your Highness, there is a military report from the northern front. Our army was defeated in seizing Yuguan. When retreating, it encountered a surprise attack by the Turkic army and suffered heavy losses. This is the news that my father ordered people to deliver. Everyone The ministers have already entered the palace to discuss the matter."

Yang Guang frowned slightly. He was not allowed to go this time. It was not that the emperor did not allow him to discuss in front of the palace, but to prevent him from being criticized by the ministers in front of the palace.

He was the main combatant, but he was defeated, and it was a huge defeat. Youzhou City suffered heavy losses. The fact is that in the court, Sun Sheng, another leader of the main combatant, had already set off for the Turks, so he was the only one left. He was bound to be made things difficult and criticized by the ministers. Yang Jian did not call him to go to the imperial court, but instead protected him.

"The fight should be about to begin, right?"

Yu Wenhuaji said with some embarrassment: "The person who just came to convey the message said that Yuzen Xiaoju and others were really very angry, and they had been blaming Captain Changsun Sheng and... and His Highness, but His Majesty did not change anything because of this. The strategy still ordered the army to move north when it should, and emphasized the guarantee and supervision of the transportation of grain and grass."

"Just winning a battle doesn't mean anything. Our strategy is to fight for a long time, and the Youzhou army's departure from the city to capture Yuguan this time is an adventure in itself. My father is not someone who will be shaken just by looking at the outcome of a battle. "

Yu Wenhuaji said: "Your Highness, after all, you have suffered a defeat. A group of people will attack you. If your Majesty invites you to come to the palace and the ministers say something rude, please be patient as much as possible. Someone will definitely be there." I’m going to denounce you on this matter, so don’t get angry.”

He was talking about someone, but he was actually talking about people from Yang Yong's faction. As Yang Guang grew up, he was Yang Yong's biggest competitor in terms of identity from his mother's womb, not to mention that he had gained some limelight recently. Now that we have the opportunity, if we don't take advantage of it to suppress him, the prince's advisers and staff will be extremely incompetent.

"Don't worry, can I still not understand this matter? My biggest task now is to prevent problems in Daxing City first. As for the war in the north, I must have confidence in our Sui army."

"Your Highness, why are you so confident that the Sui army will win? The Turks are fierce and our army may not win."

I can't tell you that I know history. The Sui Dynasty not only defeated the Turks, but also unified the Central Plains.

"I have absolute confidence in our Sui soldiers. We will definitely win."

In the evening, Yang Guang returned to his house. Unexpectedly, there was an uninvited guest waiting for him. It was someone he had never expected.

Yun Dingxing.

He was the father of Yun Luo, who was having an affair with Prince Yang Yong.

Next to Yun Dingxing was Yu Wenshu, Duke of Baoguo.

The two of them had been taken into the side hall. After all, Yu Wenshu was a distinguished guest of the Jin Palace. When he arrived, he was directly invited in to wait for Yang Guang.

The two stood up to greet Yang Guang, and then Yu Wenshu introduced Yang Guang: "Your Highness, this is my old brother Yun Dingxing. I specially introduce him to Your Highness today."

"The grassroots Yun Dingxing has met His Highness the King of Jin."

Yun Dingxing is still a chubby middle-aged man, with a kind and charitable face, and he is dressed like a wealthy man.

As a wealthy man in Northern Qi, even though he has no official status, his family is still very rich.

Yang Guang picked up the teacup, drank it and answered the question.Yun Dingxing was a little embarrassed, and Yu Wenshu answered: "Your Highness, this old brother of mine has a good relationship with merchants in the Western Regions. He often has many rare treasures and is good at decorating armors. This time I specially brought something to Your Highness." Here comes the best Shu armor."

The two followers took out the exquisite armor from the box they brought and placed it on the shelf.

Yun Dingxing introduced with a smile on his face: "This is the emerald from the south, dark green, inlaid on both sides of the shoulder armor. This is the luminous pearl from the Western Regions. This is the pearl from the South China Sea. Each one is the size of a copper coin. It is on the chest. There was a circle in front.”

He opened the armor, and inside was a golden chainmail: "This inner armor is sewn with gold thread, and there's this..."

"stop."

Yang Guang interrupted Yun Dingxing's introduction and looked at the luxuriously decorated armor in front of him. Not to mention blocking the enemy's sword on the battlefield, his own soldiers would steal it for you. It has no practical use. Just luxury.

Regarding Yang Yong's fall from favor in the future, apart from favoring concubines, there is another reason for the arrogance and lewdness of the Shu armor. Before, Yang Guang didn't understand that it was just a piece of armor. It was so serious. Only when he saw the Shu armor sent by Yun Dingxing did Yang Guang understand that it turned out that it was just a piece of armor. That's the thing.

However, Yang Guang did not explicitly reject the Shu armor but said, "I wonder what Duke Bao is up to?"

"Brother Yun wanted to pay a visit to His Highness. He admires His Highness very much and asked me to recommend him many times. I took the courage to bring him here."

He made it clear that he had taken advantage of others, and he had a good relationship with Yang Guang now, so he brought people here. Yang Guang couldn't blame Yu Wenshu, so as not to make enemies, but he looked down on people like Yun Dingxing from the bottom of his heart, and used strange things to flatter him. ,play hard.

You must know that after Yang Yong lost power in history, Yang Yong's father-in-law always encouraged Yang Yong to be arrogant and extravagant. Later, after Yang Yong died, Yun Dingxing even offered Yang Guang a plan to kill Yang Yong's child, who was him, for the sake of fame, fortune and wealth. His own grandson.

For this kind of person, as long as the three views still exist, everyone should look down on him.

"Mr. Bao Guo, I'm not interested in the Shu armor. Take it back." Yang Guang tried to be polite, but it also made it clear to them that he didn't like it.

Yun Dingxing glanced at Yu Wenshu with some embarrassment, but Yu Wenshu didn't say anything. He could only tell his men: "Take it away quickly." Then he continued to smile flatteringly.

Yu Wenshu had no choice but to speak for him: "Your Highness, it's like this. Brother Yun has frequent trade with the Western Regions. Daxing City will build a Western Market to be responsible for the trade of goods from the Western Regions. Brother Yun is relatively familiar with this area. The veteran leader Firstly, he is here to see if he can advise His Highness on this matter, and secondly, he will also be trading in the Western City in the future, and Your Highness is here to see if he can help take care of him."

Yun Dingxing smiled flatteringly. He wanted to give a gift first and had been preparing the expensive gift for a long time. Unfortunately, he didn't want it. Now he could only tell the purpose first and then give it to him.

Yang Guang relaxed a lot when he heard that he was here for the market.

I really look down on him, but that doesn't stop me from taking advantage of him.

"I sold the land next to the West Market, and the next step is the shops in the West Market. I am planning to visit the big trading houses in the Chang'an City Market. Since you are familiar with them, you might as well chat first."

Yun Dingxing was overjoyed when he heard this: "Your Highness, I have prepared a table of dishes at the best restaurant in the city, and I hope that Your Highness will appreciate it."

Yuwenshu added, "Yes, yes, and brother Yun's twin daughters, who play the piano and flute, are excellent in music. Today, I invite your highness to enjoy them together."

Okay, you are indeed a person who can make money, and you also know that eggs should not be put in the same basket. The eldest daughter has been arranged to go to Yang Yong. This is to arrange for the twin daughters to be given to me.

You can't know the depth without entering the tiger's den. It seems that tonight I will have to meet the twin sisters Qin Xiao and Ming.
