"Shuyi has such a temper, she always talks nonsense," Yang Ming met Feng Yuzhi in Wei Xianhui's dormitory, and the latter looked very strange at the moment.
Wei Xianhui, now with a big belly, knew that it was inconvenient for her to be here, so she quietly retreated.
"You scared me today," Feng Yuzhi lowered his head and whispered:
"I have always regarded you as a friend I met on the spring outing, but I always ignored that you are the prince and the heir apparent of the Sui Dynasty. You invited Ning Huizao to come to the capital, which is actually to put him under house arrest to coerce Ning Changzhen, right?
"
It seems that this girl sees things more clearly than he thought, but Yang Ming cannot admit it:
"This is a slight warning. House arrest is out of the question. If you think so, then why did you come to the capital? Is it also under house arrest?"
Feng Yuzhi raised his head and said, "You know why I came."
"Ha..." Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh: "I really don't know."
Feng Yuzhi lowered his head again: "Ning Changzhen is a man who takes soft things rather than hard ones. You are using the wrong method. Although we in Lingnan also have concubines and concubines, and we favor sons over daughters, Ning Changzhen has seven sons. You put Ning Huizao under house arrest.
, it does not threaten Ning Changzhen, it will only make him more dissatisfied."
Yang Ming said calmly: "Lingnan is the territory of the Sui Dynasty. Ning Changzhen is your Majesty's minister. He has no qualifications to be dissatisfied. There is no benefit to being disloyal to the court. I was actually giving him a chance, but he didn't grasp it.
Your grandpa is completely sincere to the imperial court, and your majesty can rest assured that Lingnan will be managed by your family for generations to come."
He is still deceiving Feng Yuzhi. No one can occupy Lingnan. From generation to generation, only we surnamed Yang can occupy it.
Feng Yuzhi sighed quietly and said, "If Ning Changzhen still refuses to borrow food this time, what will you do?"
"It won't matter. I'll just give you a few words of reprimand at most," Yang Ming said with a smile: "It's a shortcoming if a person is too stingy, but it's not a sin. Lingnan is special. Unlike other places in the Sui Dynasty, the court will still be managed by you.
of."
Feng Yuzhi nodded and said, "I'd better go and see Shuyi. That blow you gave was quite severe."
Yang Ming nodded, and Feng Yuzhi stood up and left.
........
The next day, Gao's mother and daughter, who returned to the capital, went to the East Palace to meet Yang Yinjiang.
Changsun Sheng did not hold a title until his death, but he had a first-class honorary title in the Shangzhu Kingdom. Therefore, Mrs. Gao was the wife of the Shangzhu Kingdom. When her mourning period expired, she needed to see Yang Yinjiang.
Yang Guang was actually right not to ennoble him, because those with titles benefited from the treasury, and the Great Sui Dynasty inherited the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In order to appease the old Zhou courtiers, Yang Jian recognized the titles of the Zhou Dynasty and the Great Sui Dynasty, and also canonized a large number of people.
.
As a result, there were so many people with titles in the Sui Dynasty that the state treasury spent a huge amount of money to support them every year.
That's why Yang Guang changed the title of Lord to reduce the burden on the country.
In the Guanghua Hall, Yang Yinjiang received the Gao family and her daughter, asking for their welfare and being considerate.
Once, Yang Ming proposed that Chang Sun Sheng's daughter, Chang Sun Wugao, be married to Yang Rui. Yang Yinjiang didn't agree then, and she still doesn't agree now.
And he was very persistent, so Yang Ming had no choice but to give up.
Because Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji are already close ministers around Yang Rui, there is no need for them to get closer through marriage for the time being.
Faced with Gao's grievances and cries, Yang Yinjiang comforted her:
"The three sons of Changsun Sheng are so despicable. This is something I did not expect. They actually drove you mother and daughter out of the house. It doesn't matter, the King of Qin and the King of Wei have already given you mother and son in the capital and are preparing to leave the house."
You have a safe place, and I will take care of you from now on. If the Changsun family dares to mess around again, I will send you away."
"Thank you, Crown Princess, for taking the decision for my mother and daughter," Mrs. Gao quickly pulled her eldest grandson Wugou to salute Yang Yinjiang.
Yang Yinjiang couldn't help but take another look at Changsun Wugou: "How old are you this year?"
"Back to the Crown Princess, she is eleven years old," the eldest grandson Wugou said.
Yang Yinjiang smiled and nodded: "She looks quite upright, but she has lost some weight. Now there is no need to travel back and forth. Let your mother and I stay in the capital."
"Thank you, Crown Princess, for the arrangement," the eldest grandson Wugou said.
The Gao family and her daughter were eventually kicked out. The family's three sons, Sun Sheng, did not want the Gao family to share the grave with their parents after death, and Changsun Wuji was so insistent that the brothers completely fell out.
Yang Rui is eight years old this year, three years younger than the eldest grandson Wujia. He has already made his own decision and rewarded the eldest grandson Wuji with more than a dozen slaves. In addition to the dozen or so old servants of the Gao family, their family is in the capital, so it is not a hard time, but
It's definitely incomparable to before.
At this time, Yang Ming happened to come back from the court meeting. As soon as Mrs. Gao saw Yang Ming, she became nervous instantly and looked strange. Yang Yinjiang saw it and was also extremely surprised.
"Wuji is at the crown prince's place, you can go and meet him," Yang Ming said.
Mrs. Gao nodded quickly and hurried away with her daughter.
Yang Yinjiang looked at the two people leaving and said strangely: "This woman is so strange. Did you see that she blushed?"
Yang Ming looked helpless: "Who knows."
Yang Yinjiang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Did you do anything before that made people interested?"
"Don't talk nonsense, what would I do to a woman?" After Yang Ming sat down, he took the towel and wiped his face, and said, "Did you ask Xuangan to deliver food to Zhang Xutuo?"
Yang Yinjiang came to sit down next to her husband and said with a smile: "I know you are in trouble, so I thought I could share the burden with you."
Yang Ming nodded: "I just received Zhang Xutuo's report today, and I learned about this matter. It will not end well in Shandong."
"What's going on?" Yang Yinjiang frowned instantly.
Yang Ming said: "Zhang Xutuo led his troops to Bohai County to pursue the king's thief, but there was also a rebel named Sun Xuanya from Bohai County, two from Pingyuan County, Zhang Jincheng and Hao Xiaode, and Bo Mengrang, the lord of Qi County.
He has also rebelled, and now the rebels have been gathered to attack Zhang Xutuo with Wang Bo from the south and the north."
Yang Yinjiang was stunned: "How could this happen?"
"The food gap in Shandong is too big, and now chaos has occurred," Yang Ming sighed: "What I am most worried about right now is Hebei. The two places are close to each other. The chaos in Shandong will probably spread to Hebei. If there is more chaos in Hebei, the expedition will
The military supplies and logistics for the army are cut off."

Yang Yinjiang sighed bitterly: "The national treasury is empty and it is difficult to provide relief. At the moment, we can only count on Zhang Xutuo. He will wait for another three to five months and wait until the army goes south.
Come back and solve your problems yourself."
Yang Ming nodded. Goguryeo must not be defeated this time. Once defeated, Shandong and Hebei will be out of control.
........
In Donglai County, the navy who came to protect the children killed cattle and sheep to worship the gods on the third day of May and set sail for an expedition.
According to the original plan, they were to surround the Beishe Navy, but no trace of them could be found in the vast sea. In desperation, three hundred warships overlapped and headed toward Pyongyang in a mighty manner.
They only had two months to annihilate the Goguryeo Navy and march to Pyongyang. In early July, the navy that came to protect the children needed to land from the Xishui River and form a siege south of Pyongyang.
On May 11, in the waters outside the mouth of the Xishui River, the Sui Navy and the Goguryeo Navy finally met.
Lai Hu'er stood on the uppermost deck of the building ship, overlooking from a high position, with a solemn expression on his face.
The eldest son Lai Kai said: "The enemy troops are already in formation, when will we attack?"
"Don't worry," Lai Hu'er raised his hand and said, "The draft of our sea-going ship is too deep, and the speed of the ship is not advantageous. If we attack by force, the enemy can rely on its flexibility and adopt a guerrilla strategy. This is not good for me. Give Fei Qing
The slave sent an order for him to lead his fleet and attack the enemy's front at nightfall. Zhou Fashang and Fan Zigai attacked the left and right wings. Cai Ju led the battleships to surround the rear. They must form an encirclement and get close to fight."
Most of the Sui Dynasty naval divisions were large ships, carrying a very large number of soldiers. If they could board the ships to fight, the advantage would be very obvious.
It is precisely because it carries too many soldiers that the ship cannot move fast. If it is attacked from a distance and sinks, many people will die.
Lai Kai nodded: "I am fully equipped with weapons and oil. Fighting at night will be beneficial to me, but I may not be able to surround you."
Lai Hu'er smiled and said: "It's definitely impossible to surround me. The enemy also knows my advantages and disadvantages, so naturally they won't let me get close so easily. Once they notice, they will definitely withdraw, but I still have to issue such an order. I
If you tell them that the enemy will definitely run away, they won't try their best to surround you."
"My son has learned a lesson," Lai Kai said.
Lai Huer said: "There are no fathers and sons in the army."
"Yes," Lai Kai told the flag officer to give orders to each fleet.
The navy's flag order is very complicated. Each flagship is used to issue orders. There will be a flag officer waving the order flag, issuing semaphores, and passing on the order.
Sometimes the command arrow is also used, which is a noisy arrow. The arrowhead is bald and cannot kill anyone.
If it is foggy or at night, the signal is sent by fire. If the distance is too far, the signal is sent by boat.
When marching at night, each ship must hang lights on the mast to identify the position of friendly forces. Five lights are the flagship, four are the front camp, three are the left camp, two are the right camp, and one is the rear camp.
.
Lai Hu'er's command was divided into five divisions. His central army was one, and his confidant general Fei Qingnu was the vanguard. Supporting the two wings were Zhou Fashang and Fan Zigai. The supporting troops were Cai Ju, the former hussar general of Xiangyang Prefecture.
, is the one who was scared by Yang Ming. This person knows the navy and is Han Sengshou.
Fan Zigai was the prefect of Yuanling County and had a good relationship with Fa Shang of Zhou Dynasty.
The night on the sea is very scary. Fortunately, the place where Laihuer and Goguryeo met was offshore. The waves were not very high, but it was also extremely difficult for people on the boat.
This is why the navy that came to protect the children was composed of the Jianghuai navy and the Lingnan platoonmen. They were all from the south. Northerners could not withstand the bumps on the ship at all. In the mildest cases, they would vomit, and in severe cases, they would faint directly.
past.
Southerners' familiarity with water is simply not comparable to that of northerners. If you row a dragon boat during the Dragon Boat Festival, look at the prank made by someone in the north.
At nightfall, the temperature dropped sharply, and the main ship fired the fire signal.
The Sui army's three hundred warships gradually dispersed, taking advantage of the dark moon and high winds to quickly approach the direction of the Goguryeo Navy.
