After the court meeting, Yang Hao followed the prince all the way to the East Palace.
Yang Ming didn't say a word along the way. Yang Hao knew exactly what was going on. It was a blessing, not a curse, and it was a curse that could not be avoided. He thought that Yang Ming didn't mention this matter again after so long, so he planned to let him go.
Now it seems that this scolding is inevitable.
Sure enough, as soon as he returned to Cheng'en Hall, Yang Ming dismissed everyone in the hall, leaving Yang Hao alone.
Yang Hao swallowed subconsciously.
"Sit down, why are you standing there?" Yang Ming said calmly.
Yang Hao grinned and said: "I don't dare. The prince asked me to come this time, maybe he wants to reprimand me?"
Yang Ming pretended to be confused and said: "What did you do wrong? Why should I reprimand you?"
Yang Hao chuckled and said, "It's not just about robbing people in the camp. I shouldn't say in front of so many people that you asked me to go."
"Oh, is this the case?" Yang Ming nodded and fell into silence.
The air was suddenly quiet, which made Yang Hao feel that something was wrong more and more. He just lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Even though he was the elder brother and the prince was the younger brother, his elder brother was far behind in moral conduct compared with others.
Yang Hao completely believed that he was omnipotent and inferior to Yang Ming in every aspect.
After a while, Yang Ming broke the dullness and asked in a puzzled tone: "Is this how you usually do things?"
"Ah?" Yang Hao said blankly: "No, it didn't happen suddenly. I had no choice at the time."
Yang Ming chuckled and said, "They say you can see the small things and see the big things from the small things. You sold me on such a small matter. How dare I entrust you with it if something big happens?"
The corner of Yang Hao's mouth twitched, and he was immediately frightened. Yang Ming was his backstage. If the backstage was gone, it would be difficult for him to survive in the future.
So Yang Hao said anxiously: "I knew I was wrong. I was very angry at that time. I just wanted to take the person away quickly. I lost my mind and made this mistake. I will never make it again in the future. Please calm down, Prince."
"
Yang Ming sneered repeatedly.
I really want you to take the blame for me, but you can just take the blame back to me? Is there any way you can do this?
Yang Ming said in a cold tone: "I asked you to find a way to take the person away. The emphasis is on the three words 'find a way'. How about you go directly to the camp to rob the person? Afterwards, you said that I asked you to rob the person.
, It’s fine now, you all thought I was trying to steal women for my Qian Niu, you don’t know how to use your brain when doing things?”
"I, I." Yang Hao was so frightened that he stammered and didn't know what to say.
Yang Ming needs Yang Hao, and Yang Xiong is already old, so Yang Ming urgently needs to cultivate someone of his own in the clan, and Yang Hao is the best candidate in his mind.
But you can't sell me? I need you just to be my shield. Why is it the other way around?
Therefore, Yang Ming felt that it was necessary for him to hammer Yang Hao on this matter to prevent the other party from selling him out on important matters in the future.
"I asked you to study with King Guan, that is, to learn his knowledge and skills in doing things. Have you visited him recently?" Yang Ming asked.
Yang Hao was stunned and said embarrassedly: "Because of this incident recently, I haven't had time to visit his old man."
"You can't tell which one is light and which one is heavy?" Yang Ming scolded, "You can't forget to accept the gift."
Yang Hao took the initiative to explain the matter of receiving gifts. He did not hide how much he received from Yang Ming. He was really too poor now and it was difficult to turn away money.
Yang Hao stayed in place in embarrassment, waiting to be scolded. He knew that he couldn't quibble, and if he got scolded honestly, the matter would be over.
Yang Ming continued: "King Guan and you and I are distant relatives after all, but among the clan, he has the highest prestige. You, a direct descendant of the Second Saint, are you not ashamed to see the clan like this?"
"Ashamed!" Yang Hao quickly raised his head and said. He heard the meaning of Yang Ming's words, and his eyes lit up and said, "I know what to do."
"You know nothing!" Yang Ming said coldly: "I know you don't understand this matter of robbing people from your camp."
After saying that, Yang Ming stood up and said: "I asked you to follow King Guan, not only to learn from him, but also to coax him well so that he will be willing to speak for you in the clan and establish your prestige. Master will lead you."
It’s up to one person to practice cultivation. King Guan knows why I made this arrangement, but you, on the other hand, are so arrogant that you haven’t visited me for so long?”
"I'm confused. I didn't expect it to have such a deep meaning. The prince is so supportive, but I don't understand the true meaning. It's really embarrassing for me." Yang Hao looked ashamed, but he was already very excited in his heart.
Yang Ming sighed, looking like he hated iron and said:
"I allow you to be greedy for money because I know that you are in a tight situation right now. If you want to make friends with others, you need to spend money. However, greed must have a degree and a time limit. I don't allow you to be greedy.
You can’t be greedy, do you understand?”
"The prince is so considerate of me, I am so stupid. I don't know how to be grateful," Yang Hao said with an excited expression.
Yang Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of being stupid, but I'm afraid of being stupid too. I haven't figured it out until now. I asked you for help and you told me not to involve me, but you still sold me. This is what my third uncle taught me before.
Is it yours?"
Yang Hao begged in a tone of voice: "There really is no next time. Don't worry, if I sell you again, you will take off my head."
"This is what you said," Yang Ming said directly.
Yang Hao nodded and said: "There will never be a next time. Every time you learn something, you will gain wisdom. I have worked in the military government before, and there were a bunch of rough guys in there. They were straightforward in everything they said and done. I'm used to it.
, but don’t worry, I know that the court is no different than anywhere else, and I will be careful in my words and deeds in the future, and be careful in everything."
"You~~" Yang Ming raised his finger and pointed at the other person, then waved: "Let's go, let's go, tonight you will go to Guanwang Mansion, you are always flattering, right?"
"Yes, yes, I will flatter Yang Xiong like I flatter my father," Yang Hao nodded hurriedly.
Since Pei Ju's letter was sent to the capital, no one from the Pei family has been to the East Palace again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because Pei Ju has told him not to blame the prince for this matter. He was kidnapped by the King of Liang and has nothing to do with the prince.
Pei Renji came to visit in person, hoping that Yang Hao could be a matchmaker for the two young people. Yang Hao knew that the matter started with him and had to end with him, so he readily agreed. After all, the matchmaker gift from Pei Renji was too heavy, and he even thanked him afterwards.
matchmaking gift.
I take it upon myself to do this. There is no matchmaker more suitable than me.
So Yang Hao took his people and went to Qinrenfang to talk about matchmaking.
As for the abducted Pei Shu, she had also been sent home. She knew that she had caused trouble this time and had caused the clan elder Pei Shen to be dismissed from office, so she knelt in front of her father and allowed herself to be humbled.
Pei Renji forced a smile outside, but it was different in front of his children. He was definitely sad, mainly because he was afraid that his daughter would have a hard life in the future, and was really embarrassed.
"That's all, the matter has come to this, what else can a father say?" Pei Renji said to his son: "Help your sister up."
"Oh," Pei Xingyan walked over, pulled his sister up from the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, okay, now you got your wish, right?"
Pei Shu sat down aggrievedly, not daring to raise her head, and kept wiping her tears.
Pei Renji said: "You don't have to be sad. So far, things are going in a good direction. The prince intends to recommend Su Lie to be the commander of the Youyi Guard Xiaoqi Army. It seems that he plans to send him to Goguryeo for training. If he can achieve military merit,
, Needless to say, the prince will also fight for him as a father. This depends on Su Lie himself. If he becomes famous, his father will only be laughed at for a year or two at most."
There are four palaces of the twelve guards in the Sui Dynasty, four of which belong to the imperial guards, and the remaining twelve guards have six main forces, namely: Xiaoqi (belonging to the left and right Yiwei), Baoqi (belonging to the left and right Xiaowei), and Xiongqu (belonging to the left and right Xiaowei).
(left and right military guards), Yulin (belongs to left and right garrison guards), Shesheng (belongs to left and right imperial guards), and 佽(ci)fei (belongs to left and right guard guards).
Each army belongs to the left and right prefectures, each with a chief and a history officer, who is controlled by the general.
This position has little power in peacetime, but in times of war, you can lead your own army.
Yang Ming made this arrangement because he hoped that Su Lie would have the right to lead the army when he conquered Goguryeo in the future. You Yiwei was here to protect his children. The current guardians would not refuse Yang Ming's suggestion, and You Yiwei's Xiaoqi was
Absolutely elite, paired with a fierce man like Su Lie, he is even more powerful.
Pei Shu didn't know about this, so when she heard about it, she couldn't help but feel worried:
"Dingfang is still young, so I'm afraid he won't be able to take on this important responsibility, right?"
Pei Renji scolded: "Do you understand or does the prince understand? He disrupted the main force of Tuyuhun with his surprise troops, changed the battlefield situation with his own power, and even saved Mai Tiezhang's life. If he can't do it, who can?"
"Heroes come from young. Brother, I'm not that old either. The prince also recommended me," Pei Xingyan said with a smile.
"Ah?" Pei Shu was immediately shocked: "Are you both going? This sword has no eyes, brother, you have to be careful."
Pei Xingyan smiled and said: "What do you know, a woman? A man has to perform meritorious service on the battlefield, build immortal achievements, spread his good name to the world, and make a sensation in the world. Only then can he live up to this life. The prince knows me, and my sword is already hungry and thirsty.
Already.
As he said that, Pei Xingyan suddenly became proud and proud: "The time to make achievements is now!"
Pei Shu's face suddenly turned pale: "My brother is the only son in the family, how can he be given such a big responsibility? If something goes wrong, what will happen between me and my father?"
"It will be fine," Pei Renji said: "This time, His Majesty is conducting the expedition himself. He has won without losing. It can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai. Goguryeo is only a corner of the northeast, which is insignificant."
Pei Shu was still worried and tried hard to persuade her.
She only has one brother and one husband. If anything happens to them, she will be completely unable to bear it.
Pei Renji, on the other hand, was not too worried. His son was the Xiaoqi Changshi of Zuo Yiwei, and his future son-in-law was the Xiaoqi Changshi of Youyiwei. When these two elites went to attack Goguryeo, they were killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
The main reason for the defeat of Yang Liang and Gao Jiong that year was the epidemic and poor logistics. The secondary factor was that the army under their command was not elite at all.
Of course, Pei Renji was not underestimating the enemy. The main reason was that the current military strength of the Sui Dynasty was too strong.
