Yang Yuanqing was shocked. The border generals have always been like this, and the border generals in Zhuo County and Mayi County are the same. How can they have an affair with the Turks?
Yang Xuangan sighed softly, "Of course, if the emperor doesn't care, there is nothing, but if there are ulterior motives who make a fuss about this matter, Yuan Qing, you have been in the border for a long time and don't understand the sinister hearts of the court, you have a high position in your youth, and
I have been deeply favored by the holy people, and I don’t know how many people are jealous of you. The more you do this, the more you should be careful.”
Yang Yuanqing was silent. He admitted that his father was right, but he had no other choice. Should he also let him exploit Wuyuan County like Qiu He? Wuyuan County is his foundation, so many
How could he take action on the military household?
Yang Xuan felt that Yuan Qing was thinking and knew that he knew it in his heart, so he stopped talking about this and turned the topic to Yuan Qing's marriage.
"Yuanqing, when are you going to marry Minqiu?" Yang Xuangan asked in a relaxed tone.
"This year! When is the exact time yet? We will wait for the results of Princess Leping and the Pei family's discussion."
Yang Xuangan was silent. He felt very embarrassed. His son should have been negotiated by his father, but now it is an outsider and elder. In such a big matter of marriage, Yuan Qing completely excluded the Yang family, which made Yang Xuangan suddenly understand.
One thing is, Yuan Qing’s resentment towards the Yang family is quite deep, and it cannot be compensated in one day or two, or even never can be compensated for it. Yang Xuangan felt a deep regret in his heart. The family affection between father and son cannot be returned.
After a long silence, Yang Xuan sighed and said, "Yuanqing, is there anything you have to ask me tonight?"
"It's nothing. Since my father comes to Wuyuan County, as a landlord, I should come to see my father."
Yang Xuangan smiled bitterly, "thank you, thank you."
The two of them stopped talking, finished their supper silently, and came in to take away the plate. Yang Yuanqing stood up and said goodbye, "Thank you for your father's reminder. However, Yuanqing has a lot of things to do, so he won't spend much time with his father. Yuanqing said goodbye!"
"go!"
Yang Xuangan heard his son say Yuan Qing and didn't even call him "child" himself, which made him feel sad. He suddenly thought of the word, "Stay away from him", which was a true portrayal of Yuan Qing's words. Yuan Qing came to visit him specially.
He had a meal with him, and his etiquette was very thoughtful, but their hearts were far apart. Yang Xuangan was full of self-blame. This was his responsibility. He even forgot that Yuan Qing was nineteen years old or twenty years old this year. He did this
What if my father is not qualified, what should I expect my son to do to him?
Yang Xuangan sat in the tent in a daze. At this moment, he came to report again, "Reported to the Secretary of State, a fat man who claimed to be a child of the Yang family was looking for a visit outside. The full text is not adverted."
Yang Xuangan was stunned for a while. He suddenly understood who it was and hurriedly said, "Come in!"
After a moment, Yang Wei walked into the tent excitedly, kowtowed and bowed, "Wei'er, see the head of the family!"
Yang Xuangan's eyes suddenly became a little wet, and the timely appearance of his nephew Yang Wei made him see another glimmer of hope in despair. This glimmer of hope was a seed planted by his father back then.
......
Yang Yuanqing left the tent of the Ministry of Rites, and an employee led him to Gao Huang's tent. Gao Huang was receiving visits from two officials. Seeing Yang Yuanqing in, the two officials quickly got up to greet him. Gao Huang smiled and introduced to Yang Yuanqing:
"Yuan Qing, come and meet two expedition men from my Great Sui Dynasty."
He pointed to a burly man and smiled at Yang Yuanqing, "This is Zhu Kuan, the young master of the Honglu."
Seeing that Zhu Kuannian was about thirty years old, with dark skin and bright eyes, Yang Yuanqing knew that this man led his army to sea last year and conquered Ryukyu, he couldn't help but respect him, bowed and smiled, "General Zhu's feat last year
Yuan Qing also heard about it, but I wonder if I could go to the Yizhou Island?"
Yizhou is the later Taiwan. It was called Yizhou during the Three Kingdoms and was collectively called Ryukyu during the Sui Dynasty. Zhu Kuan smiled and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang is talking about Ryukyu Island! The way there is only the island is full of miasma and it is difficult to stay for a long time.
After replenishing fresh water at the mouth of the river, he returned. How did General Manager Yang know which island?”
"Haha! I just heard people say that, it's a pity. That's a treasure island. If Zhu envoy is interested in the future, he can go south again. There are Nanyang Islands there. Merchants travel between the Great Sui Dynasty, and there is even richer.
, with precious spices, wood and gemstones.”
Gao Feng smiled slightly and said, "Yuan Qing, when it comes to the southern countries, I have seen the records of the monk Faxian. There is a terrain country over there, a great country with a radius of thousands of miles. Our Sui envoy is about to go forward.
Go there.”
Gao Yang smiled and introduced the second person to Yang Yuanqing, "This is Chang Jun, the head of the military farm. He is about to go on a mission to the Terracotta Kingdom. He actually came to ask me for advice. What can I teach him?"
Chang Jun was about thirty years old and of medium figure. Yang Guang was far away from the country and had great risks, so he recruited volunteer envoys from all the civil and military officials of the court, and Chang Jun applied for the recruitment.
He smiled at Yang Yuanqing and said, "Mr. Yang doesn't know anything. Although Gao Prime Minister does not care about the affairs of the Prime Minister, in the hearts of us younger generations, no one can replace his prestige. This time I will go to the Terracotta Kingdom to ask Gao Prime Minister for his mission.
Instructions.”
Gao Bing was respected by his juniors and really enjoyed it. He stroked his beard and smiled and said, "I don't have any good opinions, it's just eight words, neither humble nor arrogant, polite and concise, showing my great etiquette of the Great Sui Dynasty, and making the King of the Chitu come to worship.
”
Chang Jun gave a long tribute, "I will remember the words of the noble minister in my heart!"
When Chang Jun and Zhu Kuan saw that Gao Feng had something to talk to Yang Yuanqing, they said goodbye. Gao Feng asked Yang Yuanqing to sit down again, poured him a cup of tea, and asked with a smile: "How do you feel when you see your father?"
"It's very light!"
Yang Yuanqing sighed and said, "Gao Xiang, I will tell you the truth. I feel very indifferent to him. Calling him a father is just a politeness. I want to be kind to him, but I always feel that we are.
There is a big mountain between them.”
Gao Feng nodded slowly, "I can understand, I remember the first time I saw you, you fought with a group of children, and your head was bleeding. As a result, your father would punish you severely without any discrimination. I still remember clearly that you were
I was full of resentment towards my father. I thought it was a childish word, but I didn’t expect that when you grow up, the relationship between you father and son will become so weak?”
"No! Actually, it has nothing to do with that matter. It's not a cold one. To be honest, since I was a child, I have only met him ten times at most. I really have no feelings. And his wife, I
I should call my mother, which hurts me very much. I am so proud of myself. I can only do this today.”
"It's good that you can take the initiative to meet him."
Gao Ying sighed slightly and aroused his thoughts again, "At least you can still listen to others' advice. Unlike someone who advises him, he will kill someone!"
Yang Yuanqing knew that he was talking about Emperor Yang Guang, and he was silent for a moment and said, "Gao Xiang, you should go back to your hometown to retire."
"Yuanqing, remember that last time you told me that if King Changning was in trouble, I asked me to resign immediately. Sure enough, several sons of the former crown prince Yang Yong were killed last year. During the Northern Tour last year, I was because of the Great Wall.
I advised him, but I almost got killed by him. I was astonished by you. I also considered resigning from office and going back to retire. But when I thought of the Sui Dynasty that the late emperor had worked hard to establish, our old ministers worked hard and fought for decades.
I am unwilling to accept that the prosperous era of the Great Sui Dynasty that appeared just now was ruined by him like this!"
Gao Feng's tone was filled with sadness and desolation, "Yuanqing, do you know how he built the Great Wall? From Yulin to Zihe, the Great Wall that lasted more than 500 miles long, he recruited millions of people and asked for twenty days to build it.
Completed, twenty days! Do you know how many people died in the end, nearly half of them died of more than one million people, and how many people died after he dug Tongji and Yongji Canals, and asked for the construction of Dongdu in ten months
, ordered local people to offer food, how many people died, how many families were destroyed, he regarded the people as grass, but the cloth he gave to the Turks was 20 million pieces with a wave of his hand. He was so generous to the Hu people, but he was able to treat himself.
The people of the country are so cold. Yuanqing, how can you let me go home to support my old age with peace of mind? I am worried that the Sui Dynasty established by the late emperor would be destroyed in his hands. When I die, the late emperor asked me, why don’t you stop it?
How do he ask me to answer the late emperor?”
Yang Yuanqing didn't say anything. He could feel the worries and anger in Gao Yang's heart, and the worry of an old minister's concern for the country and the people. Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and slowly explained: "In fact, many things in the priest are not bad, but his methods and methods of doing things
No, it caused bad consequences. As Gao Xiang said, he gave 20 million pieces of cloth to the Turks. In fact, the Turks also gave tens of millions of livestock. This is actually a gift trade, but the emperor is
The details were not handled well, which attracted everyone's resentment. The canal was dug, which could be said to be beneficial, but it took only two years to complete it, and the disadvantages fell on the contemporary world."
Gao Yang sneered, "Yes! I admit that the Turks gave back tens of millions of livestock, but where were these livestock? Did he distribute them to his people? No, a small part was used as his military rations, and
Most of them would rather die and be buried, but the cloth taken out of Zuozang is real, and he doesn't feel sorry for him at all. That is the blood and sweat of the people of the world, and the wealth we have accumulated year by year.
When he digging the canal, I can understand that he has great talent, but I hate him for treating the people as bad as a mustard and spending too much. Didn’t the Qin Dynasty die like this?”
......
Yang Yuanqing left Gao Yang's camp. He could understand Gao Yang's mood. He couldn't stand what Yang Guang did. He wanted to stop him but was powerless. He was suppressed for more than a year and finally saw a trustworthy person for a moment.
His emotions were a little out of control, but he was really worried about Gao Ying. If Yang Guang heard those words, he would really not be able to survive. Yang Yuanqing could do nothing, so he had to sigh, leave the Chaoguan District, and return to his tent.
......
Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was also reviewing memorials in the imperial study room of ** City. He was also busy with court affairs and did not give up on the government because of inspections. He was very busy every day, and no one could do it for him. He had to keep busy and could only fall asleep late at night.
.
At this time, a guard reported, "General Yuwen has something urgent to ask for a meeting!"
"Supreme him in!"
Yang Guang put down his pen, but he didn't know what urgent things would be for Yuwen Shu to come to him?
After a moment, Yuwen Shu hurried in and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have just heard of something that is related to Yang Yuanqing. I dare not hide it. I will report it to Your Majesty."
"It has something to do with Yang Yuanqing? What's the matter?" Yang Guang's face became solemn.
