At the right time, King Qi, who was wearing a purple robe and a gold and jade belt around his waist, was silently in his study, looking at a map hanging on the wall. The map clearly marked the deployment of troops in Bingzhou and northern Youzhou.

He is tall and straight, handsome and unrestrained, and looks like a jade tree in the wind; but in terms of moral character, Yang Jian is not qualified to compare with Yang Zhao. Because he provoked Yang Ji, Yang Guang knew what was going on with his son.

Once because Yang Zhen allowed his men to steal Yang Ji's horse, Yang Guang

He personally beat him up and severely purged his civil officials who had done evil; the second time was when Yang Jian asked his men to help him hunt for women and hunted the wives of Qin Qiong's cousins. Later, because of Yang Ji's intervention, he was exposed again.

In front of Yang Guang's eyes, Yang Guang beat him again and cleaned Prince Qi's mansion again.

Yang Jian suffered two big losses and learned to restrain himself. However, his ambition to be a prince did not die due to house arrest, because the previous generation is the best example. His uncle Yang Yong has been the prince for twenty years.

, wasn’t it turned out that he was crippled by his grandfather?

My father could afford to wait, why couldn't he, Yang Jian, wait?

Yang Jin had poor personal ethics, but he was quite talented and capable. Why did he need the pedantic Li Gang to teach him? But Li Gang was loyal to his duties, rain or shine, and did not teach in every class, forcing Yang Jin to endure it and scolded his mother afterwards; later

The mastermind Qiao Ling suggested that Yang Jian should be more respectful and obedient to Li Gang, and use Li Gang to convey his "changes" to Yang Guang, changing his image bit by bit.

With Li Gang's continuous endorsement, Yang Guang was truly relieved. Except that Yang Jian was not allowed to leave the government, everything else was the same as usual. There was no shortage of staff and officials, and he was even allowed to recruit and recruit troops on his own.

This is not that Yang Guang favors him, but that the power of opening a government is a characteristic inherited from troubled times. The purpose is to train the royal family's children to manage government, coordinate government, and command troops, so that they can defend the country when the country needs it.

, the ability of the cauldron to determine the universe will not lead to the shocking words "why not eat minced meat".

At this moment, a maid came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Chief Qiao is here."

Yang Jian raised his head, his sharp eyes filled with a sinister look, and said in a deep voice: "Let him come in."

After a while, Qiao Ling, the mastermind, quickly walked in, cupped his fists and said, "I have seen the king."

Yang Jian stared at Qiao Lingze and asked, "How do you say that?"

Qiao Ling said: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess visited King Wei last night and stayed in King Wei's mansion for half a night."

Yang Jian walked away and asked, "Do you know what you said?"

Qiao Ling replied: "My subordinates did not break into the princess's mansion, so I don't know the details, but this morning, I found several other princesses and went to the eldest princess's mansion together."

Yang Jian pondered for a moment and murmured: "My aunt has always been at odds with Prince Wei's palace, so why did she stay for most of the night? Is it because of Li Min's official career?"

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he waved his hand and said: "Continue to send people to keep an eye on it, and then call some gentlemen and generals to come over."

Yang Jian knew the importance of help. Since he still wanted to seize the throne, he would naturally cultivate his own power. In addition to the Qi royal family, he also worked hard to develop peripheral forces and win over courtiers.

As for the four aunts, they are also on his list of favors, because in addition to being the direct daughters of the royal family, the people they married have strong backings. For example, Xiao Jue, whom Princess Lanling married, is a descendant of the Xiao family, and Princess Xiangguo married Xiao Jue.

Li Changya

She is a side branch of the Li family in Zhao County. Princess Guangping married Yuwen Jingli, a nephew of Yuwenbi. Although Princess Yang Lihua of Leping no longer has her husband's family, she has a deep relationship with Yang Guang. She is also the daughter of Yang Guang after his parents died.

The most respected person.

Even if these aunts cannot be won over, if they have a good impression of Yang Jian, they will be an invisible but huge political force.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Weishi asked to see you, saying that we have something important to discuss." At this time, a maid outside the door reported.

"Oh?" Yang Jian's eyes shone brightly, and a bag quickly came up in his crotch.

Yuan Wei was his aunt, the concubine of Wei Chong. She married Yuan Min the year before last and became Yuan Min's second wife. This girl was as beautiful as the country and beautiful, and she was exactly the kind of girl Yang Jian liked, and she seduced him.

Already.

Qiao Ling saw a black line, looked away, coughed a few times, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Yuan Wei is the eldest daughter-in-law of Yuan Long, after all, don't go too far."

Yang Jian glanced at Qiao Lingze lightly and said sadly: "You think I do? Isn't this just to win over Guanlong Yuan clan, Yuanshou? For our great cause, I even used my beauty and body, you

Do you think it’s easy for me? I’m already like this, so why don’t you try harder?”

"..." Qiao Ling was speechless.

How can you win over people like this?

If Yuan knew about it, it would be nice if he didn't turn against you. How could he sacrifice his life for you?

At this moment, Pei Gai, Huangfu Chen, Chen Zhiwei, Liu Badao, Liu Wuzhou, Zhang Jincheng, and Master Liang all walked in and saluted: "See you, Your Majesty."

"Sit down!" Seeing this, Yang Jian had no choice but to suppress his imminent emotions, sat down, and said to everyone: "In the early morning, the imperial court issued an order for military reform. Yang Su and the Ministry of War are going to deal with the seventies

Wanjing's troops went into battle."

Looking at everyone, Yang Jian continued: "At the beginning of the Han Dynasty's rebellion, the imperial court could not even raise 100,000 soldiers. It can be seen that eating short quotas and drinking soldiers' blood has become the norm for the 14th Battalion in the capital. If this investigation continues, there must be something

A lot of people are unlucky."

Qiao Ling was silent for a moment and said: "If you follow the law and don't blame everyone, will the Ministry of War not know this truth? Will the Ministry of War go into war?"

"This is not important. What is important is that this is our opportunity." Yang Jian looked at Liu Badao, Liu Wuzhou, Zhang Jincheng, and Liang Shidu, and said, "Even if the imperial court does not investigate thoroughly, there will still be incidents.

There are a lot of vacancies, and when the time comes, I will find a way to recommend the four of you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Badao, Liu Wuzhou, and Zhang Jin said that Master Liang was overjoyed when they heard this. They sought refuge with Yang Jian. They originally wanted to find a way to advance to the rank, but after a year or two, they became nothing but evil slaves.

incident, and in order to evade responsibility, Yang Jian beat Ku Di Zhongqi, who had been following him for many years, to death. They were so heartbroken that they wanted to leave more than once. Now after listening to Yang Jian's words, they all felt that good times were coming.

Yang Jian said in a deep voice: "Aye attaches great importance to this matter. Not only did the Ministry of War and the Twelve Guards Generals work together to investigate, but Yang Su was also fully responsible for it. In addition, my Uncle Wang Wei may also be involved. After all, he

There is also the position of right guard general, so this time, it is very likely that strict inspections and strict employment will be carried out. I can recommend you, but whether you can get a good position depends on your ability. You go down first to recharge your batteries.

Rui, don’t move around lately."

"Here!" The four generals saluted, stood up and left happily.

When the four generals left, Yang Jian's eyes were distracted for a moment, and his aunt's graceful figure seemed to appear in front of his eyes. He felt uneasy, his face paused, and he quickly dismissed it from his mind, holding the pen in his palm, but on the rice paper

One stroke at a time, write the word "Yang Ji".

After Yang Xian finished writing, he picked up the red pen and prepared to cross out the word "Yang Ji". Before he started writing, he paused and put down the pen again.

Yang Jian had mixed feelings about this cousin. He was annoyed that he had ruined two of his good deeds and caused himself to be punished by his father, but he also admired his abilities, envied his coolness in doing whatever he wanted, and hoped that he would be on his side.

If Yang Ji is on his side, it means that his father has Yang Su. In addition, it is possible to help him win over Yang Zhiji, Yang Lun, Yang Jing, the Xiao family, the Pei family, the Dugu brothers...

He said to Qiao Lingze: "King Wei is deeply trusted by Aye and holds a key position like Liangzhou Mu. We have to find a way to win him over."

Qiao Lingze showed a thoughtful look on his face, stroking his beard and saying: "Win over King Wei?"

"That's right!" Yang Jian nodded and said: "King Wei is the rising star with the most fame and the most sage in our Sui Dynasty. Even proud people like Yang Su are full of praise. Judging from his achievements, Wei Wei

The queen will be today's Yang Su; it is only a matter of time before he becomes prime minister, do you gentlemen think we can win him over?"

Qiao Ling shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "King Wei is a saint, how can you win over him?"

Yang Xian was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "In the civil and military affairs of Qiao Man Dynasty, who is not Aye's person?"

"Your Majesty, I have been keeping an eye on King Wei for a long time. I have also discussed it with Brother Pei, Brother Chen, and Brother Huangfu." Qiao Ling said: "King Wei has a strong heart and would rather break than bend. However, because of this, he is favored by the saint. He is a close confidant of the saint.

, honor and disgrace all come from the saint, and the saint is in his prime years, so it is impossible for him to participate in the dispute between the king and the prince. If the king rushes to win over, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating. "

When Yang Jian heard this, he looked at Pei Gai silently.

Pei Gai cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what Mr. Qiao said is reasonable. Your Majesty cannot come forward to win over you, but you can secretly add fuel to the flames to deal with Yu Wenshu. King Wei has cut off people's wealth and disabled his son. Once Yu Wenshu gets a foothold, he is bound to expand.

revenge."

"In that case, let's forget about King Wei for now, but will he become an obstacle to us?" When he mentioned Yuwenshu, Yang Xian showed a strange smile. Yuwenshu should be his biggest gain before coming here.

, and also the person Yang Ji pushed towards him.

In the past, Yu Wenshu was of course partial to him, Yang Jian, and tried to speak for him when the position of crown prince was undecided. However, after the dust settled, he fell silent. However, after the martial arts fraud case occurred, Yu Wenshu completely moved closer to him.

I have to say it was an unexpected big gain.

"Definitely not now, but it will be hard to say in the future!" Qiao Ling frowned, bowed his hands to Yang Jian, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the saints are in their prime in the Spring and Autumn Period. Some things must not be done too hastily. A little impatience will lead to chaos.

What a great plan!"

"Your Majesty, what Mr. Qiao said is true!" Huangfu Kan also saw that Yang Jian had been "advancing" recently because the saint had withdrawn the supervisors, and even turned into Benjili when it came to women's sex. He quickly stood up and gave advice: "

A saint can wait for twenty years, so why should the king be in a hurry? I suggest that the king calm down and create a good reputation as a wise king."

"What you all said makes sense, but you ignored a very critical issue." Yang Jing took a deep breath, and the worry in his tone could not be concealed: "You asked me to sleep hard and hide my capabilities and bide my time, no problem. But the prince, he is not the former prince.

Ah? He is modest and prudent by nature, proficient in civil and military affairs, and is praised by everyone."

Although his elder brother Yang Zhao is not good-looking, he is like an ascetic monk who cannot be criticized in every aspect. If he keeps keeping a low profile and bide his time, Yang Zhao's status will become more and more stable, and his existence will become more and more important.

The lower.

Qiao Ling thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Before appointing the crown prince, the saint hesitated and weighed again and again before appointing the prince as the crown prince of the Sui Dynasty. It can be seen that the saint has no distinction between elder and younger in his heart."

Yang Jian frowned and said, "But the civil and military officials don't think so."

"Your Majesty, the key to whether you can enter the East Palace is the Sacred Heart. Other people's opinions can only be used as a reference. Your Majesty, it is best to quietly gather momentum at this time. When the saint's ban is lifted, you can walk around the palace more, so as to

It's all about filial piety." Huangfu Chen said softly.

Yang Xian nodded and said: "It's okay, as long as it's not too deliberate?"

Huangfu Kan looked at Yang Jian helplessly. He went to visit his parents to show his filial piety. Who cares whether he did it deliberately or not? Who dares to say that he did it deliberately?

"What the king said is not unreasonable. If you are too deliberate, you will fall down." Chen Zhiwei, who was next to him, pondered for a while and said: "The king cannot go out now, so you can ask the princess to fulfill your filial piety. She usually goes to the queen to walk around more. The queen

She must be very happy. The princess went there diligently, and the king will go there in the future. Others have nothing to say, let alone any deliberate remarks."
