The news of the Sui Dynasty's troops was known to both the Eastern and Western Turks, and they also sent envoys to the capital to meet with the prince.
The envoys of the Eastern Turks hoped that Yang Ming could stand by and not interfere with Shibi Khan's cleanup of the house, while the envoys of the Western Turks hoped that the Sui Dynasty could help them resist Shibi Khan.
In this case, according to Chang Sun Sheng's strength and weakness, the Great Sui Dynasty should help the Western Turks, but Yang Ming does not plan to do so for the time being. I will not help anyone. You two will waste it first. When you are almost done, I will take action. .
Although the two sides are not evenly matched at the moment, the Western Turks are definitely capable of fighting. If the Sui Dynasty helps the other side, they will have to run away in despair this time. After running back, they will definitely invade the northern border of the Sui Dynasty.
At present, although the Mohe and Khitan in the northeast region have surrendered, there are still Shiwei, Xi, and Lin who are unwilling to submit. Deng Hao has already sent troops to join forces with the Mohe and Khitan to attack these three places.
The north is using troops, so it is not appropriate to fall out with Shi Bi, because now Guanzhong has left the left and right military guards, and Yang Guang has taken the left and right Yi guards, the left and right guards, and the left and right imperial guards to Jiangdu. The northern troops are empty. Once Shi Bi returns, Leading the army southward, there is no force to stop it, and the Luoyang garrison cannot be mobilized.
Yang Xuanting led his troops from Xiping County and rushed to Yiwu to join Li Jing in Weiding City, which was the original Fuqi City of Tuyuhun. The governor, Wang Shuo, did not send troops because he had to guard against the party members in the south.
The Dangxiang people were originally very honest. In the impression of the Sui Dynasty, they were said to value force and no orders. They all worked for their own livelihood. When there were war formations, they gathered together, had no corvee, and did not interact with each other. They herded yaks and sheep. Pigs are used for food, but they don't know how to farm the wall.
The Central Plains calls them Dangxiang Qiang, a branch of the Western Qiang. They call themselves Dabai Shangguo, and their leader is Tuoba Chici, chief of the Tuoba tribe, who calls himself Xianbei.
Historically, this man's daughter married Murong Fuyun's son, but in this life, that will definitely not happen.
Western Tibet is now entering the stage of unification. The leader of the Yalong Xibuye tribe, Dabu Nisi, is conquering the surrounding areas. This man is Songtsen Gampo's grandfather. There is no Tubo dynasty yet, but it will soon.
The external expansion of Dabnisi has caused intrusion on the original nomadic areas of the Dangxiang people. The Dangxiang people cannot bear it and are gradually migrating north.
To the north of them is the original Tuyuhun. Wang Shuo definitely cannot sit idly by and has sent envoys to contact the other party. As long as you pay tribute to the Sui Dynasty honestly as he did during the Kaihuang period, I will not hit you. Otherwise, we will fight with real swords. .
In fact, the Sui Dynasty did not want to offend Dang Xiang easily, because Dang Xiang had a problem, he was very vengeful, and there was a custom in his family that if he was violated by an outsider, he must take revenge. Before taking revenge, he would be unkempt, barefoot, and fasting on meat. He would not be able to recover until his revenge was successful. Once upon a time.
How much is he involved in society?
Qu Boya, the king of Gaochang, followed Li Jing with five hundred people, preparing to collect and pay Gaochang. The remaining family members went to the capital, including his son, Qu Wentai, the heir to the throne, and his wife Yuwen Yubo.
In the capital, Yang Ming and his wife received each other. Yuwen Yubo was now Princess Huarong and Queen of Gaochang. When he saw his relative Yang Yinjiang again, there was not as much hostility as before.
After all, after living in a foreign country for so long, the feeling of meeting relatives is different from before.
"Your father and I have dealt with each other many times and are considered old acquaintances. Don't be polite when you come to Beijing this time. The court will entertain you well," Yang Ming smiled at Qu Wentai in the East Palace.
This guy is also an interesting person in history. After surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, his wife Yuwen was given the surname Li by Li Shimin and given the title of Princess Changle. As a result, he colluded with the Western Turks and paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty from all the countries in the Western Regions.
, they were all robbed.
This angered Li Shimin and sent Hou Junji to attack Gaochang. Qu Wentai was frightened to death, his son was captured and taken to Chang'an, and Gaochang died.
Yes, after his father died, Yuwen Yubo became his wife.
In all the countries that made peace with the Sui Dynasty, the sons of the princesses who made peace with the Sui Dynasty could not become heirs, and most of them adopted step marriage, and the son could marry his father's daughter-in-law.
Qu Wentai naturally thanked her profusely and glanced at Yang Yinjiang inadvertently.
This is because you don’t understand the rules. You can also peek at the princess?
He had never seen a beautiful woman before, so he took a few peeks out of manly instinct. Yang Ming actually didn't care much, but Yang Yinjiang was very unhappy. She originally wanted to catch up with Yuwen Yubo more, but ended up snorting coldly and sending them away.
.
The person in charge of receiving them was Liang Wang Yang Hao, and the place was Jinyang Tower.
A few days later, Yang Hao came to report that there might be something dirty between Qu Wentai and Yuwen Yubo.
"Don't be surprised, that's how it is over there. My aunt is just doing as the Romans do," Yang Yinjiang said with a look of disdain.
Yang Ming couldn't help but look at the gossipy Yang Hao, and said with a smile: "You are also a prince, do you think this kind of nonsense is new?"
"Hey, isn't this a report to you? It was you who ordered me to report every detail," Yang Hao said with a smile.
Yang Ming smiled, changed the subject and said, "You're not going to make arrangements for that person named Li. Tell me, how much did you charge him?"
Just a few days ago, Yang Hao recommended a person. This person was in Wuwei County and wanted to join the local military government as an official. The military government in Wuwei County was assigned to Zuo Tunwei, because Zuo Tunwei used to be Shi Wansui.
Therefore, the military mansions west of Longxi were all placed under Zuotunwei.
Yang Hao is now a general, so it is very easy to arrange a military hussar general.
"Two hundred thousand dollars collected," Yang Hao said honestly.
At this time, even Yang Yinjiang was surprised: "A general of the Hussars is worth so much money? Isn't this person very resourceful?"
Yang Ming smiled and said: "This is a stepping stone. The person recommended by Yang Hao was originally a commoner. He became a military general. He has successfully entered the military. His future will be easy. This money seems to be buying
Official, it is better to say that he is fawning over Yang Hao, which shows that this person has great ambitions and will definitely ask Yang Hao to help him move forward in the future."
"Your Highness is very good at knowing things. I also feel that this guy has given you too much, and I'm afraid he will have to trouble me in the future," Yang Hao said with a smile.
Yang Ming suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously: "Keep a close eye on this person. If there is any dishonesty, take action immediately. Don't be soft-spoken. Manage your subordinates with kindness and power."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I am sensible," Yang Hao nodded.
The person he recommended was from a wealthy family in Wuwei, and his family wealth was quite good in the Hexi area. He was Comrade Li Gui, who historically claimed to be the King of Daliang in Hexi.
But no matter how rich you are, you are still a businessman, and businessmen and scholars are two different classes.
As for Xue Ju's father, Xue Wang, who also ruled Hexi during the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he is currently following Xuanting to send troops to Gaochang.
On weekdays, in addition to dealing with state affairs, Yang Ming would occasionally take his relatives to Furong Garden to relax.
This time, he met Gao Yunzhi, the single-eyed beauty and princess of Goguryeo who was serving Dugu Feng'er.
In fact, Yang Ming had met the other party twice before, but this time his impression was a little different. Perhaps it was because the sun was shining brightly today, which brought out the girl's beauty.
"Come here," Yang Ming waved to the other party in an open corridor, and the latter hurriedly walked over.
Yang Yinjiang glanced at her husband meaningfully and said with a smile: "The beauty can only be considered average. There are too many people in the capital who are prettier than her."
"Where does Gao Yuan live now?" Yang Ming asked casually.
Pei Shuang, who was behind him, said: "The prince of Liaodong County lives in Lanlingfang, Nancheng, just south of Daxingshan Temple. Your Majesty's intention is to let him have a good life and worship Buddha to atone for his mistakes."
Yang Ming nodded and looked at Gao Yunzhi: "Have you not seen your father since you came to the capital?"
"I haven't seen it before," Gao Yunzhi nodded quickly.
The Gao family can speak Chinese, but not much. They can communicate normally even if they just guess.
Chen Shuyi on the side suddenly recalled her past self. She was also in the same situation at that time. She and her parents lived in the capital, but could not see each other.
Now that my father is dead, my mother is traveling around with the emperor again, but she still can't see her.
"She can be appropriately allowed to go back to visit relatives," Chen Shuyi said.
Yang Ming nodded: "I am leaving the palace today. The time is right. Let's go now."
Yang Yinjiang nodded, summoned several chamberlains, and ordered them to send Gao Yunzhi to the Liaodong County Prince's Mansion.
At the moment, Gao Yuan is living a very hard life, similar to Chen Shubao back then, who suffered from cold looks and ridicule. After all, the enthusiasm for conquering Goguryeo has not passed yet. At present, every corner of the capital is still talking about the expedition.
In the past, it was He Ruobi who spent all day burying Xiao Mohe, but now it is Yu Wenshu who spends all day burying Gao Yuan and Gao Dayang.
Gao Dayang also lives in Nancheng of the capital and has been granted the title of Duke. He will definitely not have to worry about food and drink, but the mental damage will be quite severe and he will probably be fine soon.
Then, Yang Yinjiang asked people to bring up the beauty from Qiuci that her uncle Xuanting had sent to the capital. Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to her.
That's called "white". The women from the big families in the Central Plains are as white as tofu, but this one is as white as paper, not as tender and smooth as the women from the Central Plains.
Indo-European race, that's what they look like. The girl in front of me has red hair and green eyes. She is only sixteen years old and about the same height as Yang Ming. She looks like a Central Plains woman in her twenties.
And he really doesn't like this, he only likes people with black hair and black eyes.
"Give it to Yang Hao," Yang Ming said.
Yang Yinjiang was stunned: "This Hu Ji cost two hundred gold. It is Xuanting's heartfelt gift and cannot be rewarded."
Yang Ming smiled and gave up for the time being.
That night, they stayed in the palace in Furong Garden, and Yang Yinjiang specially brought the beautiful girl from Qiuci to sleep with her.
Yang Ming had no choice but to give it a try.
Not bad. The gap is not as big as Yang Ming expected. After all, the other party is still a virgin. How wide is the tunnel and what kind of cars has he seen?
However, Yang Ming is still not very interested. His instinct is to like women from the Central Plains. This may be due to racial aesthetic differences.
