Yang Guang stayed at the training ground for three days. He was at the training ground during the day and lived in a large tent in a barracks not far from the training ground at night.
Dou Qing and the Pei family used their own money to build roads and build hundreds of simple camps to accommodate the emperor and his imperial guards.
Nominally, Dugu Huai'en was the governor of Hedong. It sounded like he had the final say in Hedong, but in fact he was in charge of the refinery. However, he had the power to mobilize the local military government, and Dou Qing was the highest local official in Hedong.
Dou Qing and Linfen County Duke Pei Xian, who came from the capital, were the main hosts, but they really didn't have much standing. They were in the back of Yang Guang's team inspecting the training ground.
After all, Yang Guang is surrounded by a group of top bosses.
The ones responsible for explaining the training situation to Yang Guang were naturally professional players Dugu Huaien and Yun Dingxing.
The more Yang Guang looked at it, the happier he became. The current training field and the training field he knew were completely different. After the craftsmanship was greatly improved, the assembly line layout of the entire training field became more and more clear, and each type of weapon had its own characteristics.
It has its own casting process with clear operation and smooth flow.
Yang Guang himself randomly selected some weapons and played with them a few times. Although he loved literature and art, he was also known for being a martial artist, and he could play with any weapon.
There was a loud sound, and the arrow hit the target. Good guy, the sound of cheers directly covered up the sound of blacksmithing.
"Every shot hits a hundred hits, your Majesty is still as good as before," Yang Yue said flatteringly.
Yang Guang laughed: "I'm still unfamiliar after all."
He was wearing a very beautiful black, gold and red armor, with the main color being gold, and all the arm guards and shoulder armor. Coupled with his tall figure and arrogant temperament, he was really eye-catching.
That's right, what he is wearing is Yang Yong's Shu armor, the most precious armor in the world.
However, after the technology is improved, his armor may need to be modified. The chest armor, shoulder armor, back armor, and leg armor all need to be replaced with refined steel, and a layer of gold paint must be applied. They are considered ornamental items.
, rather than actual combat products.
The original armors of the Sui Dynasty were mostly in primary colors, that is, the color of iron.
The Praetorian Guards are available in black, red, and bronze. This is because the raw material for painting the armor is a milky white tree paint. After being left for a period of time, it may turn black or red.
And the bronze color is just painted with copper paint.
There is an old saying in ancient times: A hundred miles, a thousand cuts, a pound of paint, which means you have to walk a hundred miles and cut a thousand cuts on a lacquer tree to receive a pound of paint.
The exaggeration is a bit exaggerated, but it also means that paint is very expensive, so only the armor of Yang Guang's imperial army was painted.
It won't work without painting. In the past, most of them were made of iron armor, and it would easily oxidize and rust if not painted.
But now, the refined steel is silver, and the left and right guards haven't had time to paint yet, so the main force of the Sui Dynasty is all silver armor.
There was a golden armor mixed in among a bunch of silver armors. Yang Guang couldn't do it without dazzling his eyes.
"If you haven't seen such a sharp weapon with your own eyes, it would be difficult to imagine it," Pei Ju sighed: "Xu Guogong used fifty thousand to defeat one hundred thousand. It should be the advantage of using soldiers and armor."
After saying that, Pei Ju looked at Yu Wenshu.
Yu Wenshu hurriedly said: "It is indeed true. Our army's expedition went so smoothly this time because of its tough armor and sharp weapons, which made it invincible. The prince deserves the most credit."
Yang Yue smiled and said: "This is your Majesty's brilliance. You can only do this by leaving the prince to supervise the country and ensure the logistics. There is no one who has inherited the destiny of heaven in ancient and modern times better than your Majesty."
Pei Ju originally spoke for Yang Ming, but Yang Yue brought him back to Yang Guang. It has to be said that he is not as good as Yang Yue when it comes to flattering.
Yang Guang laughed: "This son of mine is so worried and hardworking. Sometimes I really want him to have a good rest. Unfortunately, he is my son. State affairs are more important than Mount Tai. He must not be negligent when he is treading water in the abyss. However, I
When I return to the capital this time, I intend to let the prince rest for a while, what do you think?"
You can't. You don't want to reduce the power of the prince, do you? Yang Yue said quickly: "The hard work of the prince is not as good as that of your majesty. Your majesty is still very diligent in the morning and night, how much more so than the prince?"
Pei Ju saw it more clearly. Why should you reduce your power? How many sons do you have who can let you play like this? Don't you want to protect Yu Wenshu, and are you worried that after returning to the capital, the prince will hold on to Yu Wenshu's affairs?
Pei Ju was one of his subordinates, Nayan and Yujuluo, and he had seen it with his own eyes.
Yu Wenshu was deeply touched. He also guessed that the emperor wanted to protect his son, so he moved the prince away for a while. After the emperor personally dealt with it, it would be difficult for the prince to reverse the case.
A son can never overturn what his father has decided.
Yang Guang will not suppress the complaints from the three dukes for long, as they will always need to be dealt with.
Wei Zhen frowned and said, "The prince is the crown prince, and he must be involved in all major affairs of the country. I believe that you can rest appropriately, but the time should not be too long."
"You are right," Yang Guang said with a smile: "Of course the prince cannot ignore state affairs for a long time. Let's do this. He will attend the court meeting on the 15th day of the lunar month and it will last for two months. I will let him have a good rest."
Yang Guang gave his son a holiday because he knew what kind of urine his son was. What Yu Wenhuaji did in Hebei was what the third child could not tolerate the most. After returning to Beijing, the prince had the right to review the reports from the province.
At that time, my son will definitely die in Qianhuaji.
But Yang Guang didn't want this. He used Yu Wenshu, and Huaji was the eldest son, so he had to be generous.
The emperor has said so, and it is hard for others to persuade him. Those who know what is going on know what is going on, but those who do not know feel that the prince has indeed worked too hard in recent years, and it is appropriate to take two months off to recuperate.
"Zhang Xutuo is a rare general. Now that Shandong has been pacified, your Majesty should call him back to the capital and reward him," Yang Xuangan suggested.
Yang Guang raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What? You are very familiar with this person?"
"Not familiar," Yang Xuangan quickly waved his hand: "I have never seen him."
Yang Guang smiled, then his expression suddenly changed, and he sighed deeply:
"Dugu Gong, Dugu Gong, I think back on those days when you led an army of 500,000 people with me to march south to attack Chen. The past is still vivid in my mind. Now that Yin and Yang are separated, how can I not feel sad and mournful?"
Yang Dadao: "The Crown Prince invites Dugu Gongte to enter Dazhu Kingdom. Will your Majesty allow it?"
"Of course I agree," Yang Guang said in a raised voice: "I canonize Dugu Gong as the Dazhu Kingdom, and allow his eldest son Shengdao to succeed Duke Qi as a nobility. After his mourning, he will be admitted to the Shangshu Province, take over as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and be given the title of Er Che.
Ten chariots, forty ceremonial guards, five thousand stones of wheat, and five thousand bolts of brocade. Honglu Qing Fang Yanqian was sent to Hebei to supervise the funeral arrangements. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and History drafted an imperial edict to express my condolences. There is no need to discuss the posthumous title.
, the prince has already decided, let’s be Wenzhong.”
There were two ministers in the Ministry of Personnel, Gao Xiaoji and Cui Junsu. Gao Xiaoji followed Yang Guang on an expedition and died of illness in Jinyang on the way back. Yang Guang asked Gao Shengdao to take over as deputy minister, which shows that he valued them highly.
Li Yuan, who was standing not far behind Yang Guang, had no reaction when he heard these words. He doesn't like the rank and file of a minister, but it would definitely be the best if you could let me take on the role as well.
Originally, Gao Xiaoji died in Jinyang, and he still wanted to fight for this position. After all, the power of Jing Zhaoyin and the Minister of Civil Affairs was not much worse than that of a minister.
But since the news of Gao Xi's death came, he guessed that this position had nothing to do with him.
The top official of the Sui Dynasty died of illness. According to the custom, his son must be settled well, so many people guessed in advance that this position was reserved for Gao Sachs.
The emperor takes care of his loyal ministers and heirs, and this is also for others to see. It means that as long as you are loyal, it doesn't matter if you die, I will let your descendants live well.
Therefore, many of the emperor's decisions actually have little to do with his own subjective thoughts.
It's all out of political considerations.
Su Wei and Niu Hong were the saddest. Both of them were recommended by Gao Xi to become officials, and they only got here step by step. The person who led the way had passed away. Recalling the past, they were naturally sad.
In the eighth year of Daye's reign, on February 18th, Yang Guang left Hedong and returned to Beijing.
Yang Ming had made some preparations early and led his wife, concubines, children and hundreds of officials who had stayed in Beijing to welcome the Holy Emperor in Weinan County.
More than 100,000 people in Jingzhao County, under the supervision of guards, lined the streets outside the city to welcome the emperor back to Beijing.
The people were really happy because the emperor had won a great victory. Although they had problems eating, they still couldn't restrain their joy and excitement.
Just like Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he caused great harm to the country, but he defeated the Xiongnu, so he was highly regarded by later generations.
Yang Guang's current achievements are slightly less than those of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but Yang Guang's goal is to surpass him.
King Yang Rui of Qin and King Yang Jin of Wei were the only two of Yang Ming's children who were summoned by Yang Guang to the Guanfengxing Palace because their mothers were more powerful.
A mighty procession entered the capital, and the sound of advocacy filled my ears.
Hundreds of thousands of residents of the capital city knelt down and worshiped in the direction of Zhuque Street, shouting: "I have been ordered by heaven to live long and prosperous, to be majestic to the world, and to have the emperor's grace be great."
Yang Guang's excitement was detonated, and he issued a decree to reward the people with food and wine for ten days, exempting them from the curfew, and officials of third rank and above to hold banquets in the market for the people to take.
Geng ordered the Taiyue Department to perform dances in the east and west cities, Xuandu Temple, Daxingshan Temple, and Dachanding Temple to pray for the people of the world and to bring salvation to the fallen soldiers.
Following Yang Guang into Beijing were Shi Xiang, Qu Tutong and Yu Wenji.
In the next month, the capital will fall into a city-wide carnival. The imperial court will allocate rewards one after another, and the money from the treasury will be spent like water.
Gao Yuan came with Yang Guang. He had never been to Daxing. Now that he saw this magnificent city that seemed to only exist in the sky, he suddenly felt that he had not lost unfairly.
Goguryeo was really too small. Even under his rule, its national power was unprecedentedly strong, but compared with the vast territory of the Sui Dynasty, it was like a firefly to a bright moon.
Chang'an City, Chang'an City, this is the real Chang'an City.
