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

Chapter 56 Good news at the border
On this day in Chang'an City, a fast horse rushed through the city gate. Soldiers held command flags and galloped past the bustling main street.

Over the sound of horse hooves and the sound of wind, the soldiers' shouts rang out: "Victory at the border, great victory at the border."

The horse rushes towards the imperial city, as if riding on the wind. This is the benefit of good news. Just shout out. Needless to say, there will be a reward when you get there.

Therefore, people prefer to report good news rather than bad news.

After hearing the good news, Yang Jian stood up and walked to the palace door, watching the soldiers who reported the news quickly walk up the steps.

Arriving in front of Yang Jian, the soldiers immediately reported loudly: "Your Majesty, we have good news at the Youzhou border. General Yin Shou fought bloody battles with Gao Baoning and the Turkic army for three days under the Youzhou City. The Turkic army was defeated, and Wei Wang Yang Shuang led the troops to march north. Just in time to cut off the Turks' retreat, the two armies attacked from a flank and attacked Yuguan, successfully seizing the city. Gao Baoning abandoned the city and fled north. General Yinshou abandoned Yuguan and rebelled against Youzhou City."

"Okay! Good! Good! Yin Shou, King Wei are all good, and the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty are all good. Reward."

The soldiers reported the border residence to Yang Jian, and then the eunuch took him to receive the reward.

Yang Jian was overjoyed, and he was in high spirits at happy events. He laughed and said, "We have summoned all the heads of the ministries in Beijing and the princes and princes of the country. There will be a banquet in the palace today."

Nobles from all over the capital had received invitations from the emperor, and the wives who were specially marked in the invitations were also invited, which brought great honor to the titled ladies.

Yang Guang was still at the construction site of Daxing City when he received the news of the great victory at Border Pass.

After the implementation of the KPI, the construction progress of Daxing City was gratifying. The supervisors looked at the enthusiastic civilian workers and did not know whether they were happy or worried for a while.

I'm happy that the progress is encouraging, but I'm worried that if this continues, I might not be able to hold on to my rice bowl anymore.

Of course Yu Wenkai was very happy. With Yang Guang's small measures and rewards, he only had to assign tasks and basically didn't have to worry about the progress. This method was used throughout the construction of Daxing City.

When he received the news of the banquet, Yu Wenkai said to Yang Guang: "Your Highness, I won't go. I have some new ideas about the drainage canal. I plan to think about it tonight."

"You have to go. There is a big victory at the border. My father will probably ask about the situation of Daxing City during the banquet. You have to report it. After all, a group of people wanted to stop the construction of Daxing City. This time they are proud and proud."

Yu Wenkai looked troubled: "Wei Chen didn't feel aggrieved at first."

"It's not you who is proud, it's the father, so you have to report it properly."

Yu Wenkai finally figured it out: "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me. I thought too little."

Yang Guang told Yu Wenji next to him: "Brother Yuwen, send someone to call Li Yuan for me. I will take him into the palace today."

"Although His Highness Li Yuan is the son of Duke Tang, only Duke Tang and the old lady should be invited."

Yang Guang patted him on the shoulder: "Both of them are not in good health. They will let Li Yuan go."

"Weichen understands."

Li Yuan soon got the news that he would go to the dinner party at the palace, of course with Yang Guang.

As night fell and the lanterns were lit, the whole capital was in a joyful atmosphere because of the victory.

At the entrance of the palace, Yang Guang and others waited for Li Yuan, who was going back home first.

Li Yuan got out of the carriage, and a cute head popped out of the carriage. It was Tongan.

Li Yuan explained: "My mother has also been invited. Tong'an is here on my mother's behalf. When I enter the palace, I will go straight to see the Queen."

Li Tongan opened the curtain and glanced at Yang Guang quietly. Yang Guang smiled at her and said to Li Yuan: "Cousin, I will arrange for the maids in the palace to take Tongan in alone and take care of him all the way."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

A group of people entered the palace. At this time, there was a rare joyful atmosphere in the majestic palace, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

Yang Guang was accompanied by Yu Wenhuaji and Li Yuan, and on his left hand was a bun-faced baby named Changsun Xingbu. Ever since Changsun Sheng went on the expedition, Changsun Xingbu had been living in the Jin Palace.

This kid is very playful, but he is also very smart. This guy is a very loyal person.

Seeing Yang Su from a distance, Yang Su just nodded. After the emperor's warning, Yang Su did not dare to have close contact with Yang Guang for the time being, but he tacitly understood that this was our person.

After sitting down, I also met Li Jing's uncle, General Han Qinhu.

General Han Qinhu was guarding the south. Even if the army moved north, he was still appointed to continue to defend the south. This time he happened to come back to Beijing and encountered this matter.

Han Qinhu came over. He was tall and burly, but still one size smaller than Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao couldn't defeat a tiger, so he probably couldn't either. In ancient times, the promotion of strong men always seemed to take being able to defeat a tiger as the standard.

However, the second son of the shaobing shop family was the most famous in later generations for hunting tigers.

"Your Highness, Prince Jin." Han Qinhu came to Yang Guang's side and greeted him warmly.

"General Han, we haven't seen you for a long time."

"I heard that Your Highness has been taking care of my useless nephew these days. Thank you very much, Your Highness."

"General Han, just don't blame me for sending Li Jing to the northern battlefield."

Han Qinhu waved his hand and said indifferently: "This kid himself wrote to me, saying that since His Highness asked him to read the military book, his head is full of military art, and this time it is just a chance for him to see the frontal battlefield. It's cruel, and His Highness has arranged it for him, so there's nothing to worry about, but it's actually a good opportunity to train him."

As a military general, Han Qinhu had long thought of putting Li Jing on the battlefield, but he was really young and couldn't find a chance.

"Your Highness, I will go and take a seat over there first. If you need anything, just call me."

Everyone was seated, and the atmosphere was lively. Even officials like Yuan Xiaoju, who originally opposed the war, had to pretend to be happy today. If you are not happy that the court has won the war, what do you mean?

"The Emperor is here~"

Following the eunuch's voice, the whole place fell silent. Everyone's eyes turned to the location of the dragon chair. The emperor came slowly, surrounded by the eunuchs.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Accompanied by the thundering sound, Yang Jian sat on the dragon chair with satisfaction: "Dear ladies, take a seat."

The eunuch stepped forward: "The dinner begins~"

The maids filed out carrying various plates and served everyone in an orderly manner.

As the music played, the maids danced and drank to celebrate. It would be rude if there were no beautiful women dancing.

As the song ended, Yang Jian smiled in a good mood and said: "Today's good news at the border, our army has won a great victory. I am very happy. All the ministers drink together and raise their glasses."

Everyone drank together.

After drinking a glass of wine, Yang Jian continued: "Where is the prince?"

"My son is here."

When Yang Yong came out, Yang Jian asked: "How is the currency system going?"

Yang Yong ordered someone to take a square wooden tray, lined with fine silk, with new coins placed on it, and presented it to Yang Jian.

"This is the Kaihuang five-baht coin minted after the unified currency system. It has an outline on the back, and the outline is wider. Only [-] or [-] pieces can be accumulated to fill up the dendrobium. It can be said to be light and light."

Yang Jian picked up the coins, looked at them, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the eunuch to take the coins and distribute them to the ministers below.

"The five baht will be the unified currency of the Sui Dynasty after the founding of the emperor. The prince has successfully completed this matter and will continue to have the power to mint coins in the future."

"Thank you, Father."

Today is the day for Yang Jian to publicize his merits, so these things naturally have to be reviewed.

"Where is King Jin?"

When Yang Guang came out, Yang Jian was very happy and said: "King Jin, how is the current progress of Daxing City?"

Yang Guang, who had been prepared for a long time, did not intend to show his face on such an occasion. Instead, he prepared to hide his shame and said: "Father, your ministers and Yu Wenkai have their own division of labor. Your ministers are planning things for the East and West cities. Specifically, Daxing City. Yu Wenkai will report on the progress."

Yang Jian was a little confused, why didn't Yang Guang report it himself? He didn't want such a good opportunity. He naturally knew that Yang Guang was not a hands-off shopkeeper. Yang Guang would come into the palace every two or three days to report on the progress. He was doing everything.

But he left the reporting to Yu Wenkai, and there was another major event today, so he thought he could take this opportunity to announce it.

I don’t know what kind of medicine Yang Guanghulu sells, but I agree with what he said.

Yang smiled slightly, taking advantage of today's big victory, why don't you bring up the national debt issue?That's why I let Yu Wenkai talk about everything in Daxing City.

　Thanks to Abu Bubu Bi for the 5000 coins
