Yang Yuanqing's voice suddenly came from the next door, shocking the three of them. The three of them looked at each other. How could His Highness the King of Chu be next door?
But after Yang Yuanqing shouted angrily, there was no sound. At this time, Pei You walked up and smiled at the three of them and said, "Your Highness, please come over."
Qin Qiong stood up, pointed to the room and asked, "When will your highness come?"
"Just arrived, go quickly!"
Qin Qiong quickly walked into the room, and Cheng Yaojin could hardly walk behind him. Luo Shixin whispered to Cheng Yaojin and said, "You are dead this time!"
He gloated and followed him into the house. Cheng Yaojin's face was pale and he stood there shaking. He knew that he had really caused trouble this time and could make jokes about anything else, but women could not make jokes with Yang Yuanqing.
Although Cheng Yaojin's first thought was to slip away, where could he run? He had no choice but to walk into the room.
In the room, Pei You had already brought food and drinks. Yang Yuanqing sat at the table and drank slowly. He was still disguised, so that Cheng Yaojin could not recognize him for a moment. A glimmer of hope arose in his heart, but when this bearded person
As soon as Yang Yuanqing spoke, his heart fell into despair.
"How did you explain to me this time?" Yang Yuanqing asked coldly.
Cheng Yaojin's legs became weak and he fell to the ground with a 'plop!'. He slapped himself twice, "Damn it! He chewed His Highness's tongue behind his back, and he was willing to take the blame."
‘Receive the crime?’
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "You are not guilty yet. I thought about it. No matter whether it is military rules or the Great Sui law, you have not committed any crime. How dare I punish you?"
Yang Yuanqing said it lightly, but Cheng Yaojin was even more shocked. He would rather violate the military rules and laws and be beaten up. He ended this matter and would never be willing to be innocent on the pole. One day his minor crime
It will become a felon.
Cheng Yaojin kowtowed three times in a row and begged: "Your Highness, I am guilty of disrespect, and I am willing to accept all punishments."
Qin Qiong next to him felt a little reluctant, so he pleaded for Cheng Yaojin. "Your Highness. Although Zhijie is unrestrained, he has no malice. It's just that God is like this. As long as he can remember this lesson, your Highness sees that he has made contributions in the Sui Tu battle.
For the sake of it, spare him this time!”
Luo Shixin felt that Yang Yuanqing was really annoyed this time. He also stepped forward and bowed to plead for Cheng Yaojin, "Your Highness, although Old Cheng's mouth is smelly, he is very kind and loyal to Your Highness, just as Your Highness said.
It’s okay to lose the righteousness, but it’s okay to have a small matter. I think his stinky mouth should be a small matter. I beg your highness to spare him once!”
Yang Yuanqing was indeed a little annoyed this time, and he felt that he was too tolerant to his subordinates. Even the generals under him had no awe of him. Cheng Yaojin actually dared to say that he was good in public places, which made him a little unbearable.
.
However, Luo Shixin was right. Cheng Yaojin was not bad at all. It was just that this stinky mouth was hated. Today he had to let him suffer enough of this stinky mouth.
"Then why do you promise me that you will never talk about me behind your back, and you will make a decision on your own!"
Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth, "I am willing to cut off my fingers to show punishment!"
He pulled out the dagger from his boots and slashed at his little finger. Qin Qiong's eyes were quick and quick. He grabbed Cheng Yaojin's wrist and scolded: "My parents are so jing-blooded, how dare you abandon it at will!"
Yang Yuanqing sneered, "You are so awesome! Why don't you cut off your head? Wouldn't that be more sincere?"
Cheng Yaojin was extremely frightened, abandoned his sword on the ground, and cried, "I am at a loss for my humble position, please give me some advice on the way."
Seeing that he was crying, Yang Yuanqing was probably really scared, so he said slowly: "For the sake of General Qin and General Luo pleading for you, I can spare you lightly this time, I will punish you for three months.
Don’t say a word or say a word, I will deduct your annual salary. This is my punishment!”
"clever!"
Luo Shixin applauded and applauded. He was really convinced. This was the best recipe for treating Cheng Yaojin's stinky mouth. Even Qin Qiong couldn't help laughing. This method was good.
Cheng Yaojin knelt on the ground, with a bitter face for a long time and didn't say a word, and told him not to speak for three months. Isn't this his life worth noting?
But after a second thought, he discovered that there was a loophole in Yang Yuanqing's punishment, and he could tell it at home! This punishment should not allow him to say something in public.
Well! It’s better than not being punished. Cheng Yaojin quickly kowtowed and thanked him, “Thank you Your Highness to punish him lightly, Yaojin knew he was wrong.”
"stand up!"
Yang Yuanqing didn't want to see Cheng Yaojin hunched, so he let him get up and turned to Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin and said, "Please sit down, you two too."
Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin sat down, but Cheng Yaojin stood aside and did not dare to sit down. Yang Yuanqing ignored him and said to Qin and Luo: "I have always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to you about future events, but
One is that there is no time, and the other is that I have not considered maturity. The founding of the country that Cheng Yaojin just said was not a false statement. I did consider it, but it was not in the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty, but in a distant foreign land."
Qin Qiong's face changed drastically, and stood up and knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness has an order, we absolutely obey, and we are willing to go through fire and water for your Highness and fight thousands of miles, but the land they have obtained is the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty, and all are the land of Your Highness,
I have no ambition to build a country, please take back this sentence.”
Luo Shixin also knelt down on one knee, "The Great Sui army minister will never do anything for personal gain. Please take back this sentence!"
Seeing that they were determined and refused to accept it, Yang Yuanqing had to just give it a temporary momentum and smiled: "This is a later story, let's talk about it later! Let's talk about training new recruits."
...........
Yang Yuanqing originally went to Beijing to learn about people's livelihood and market conditions, but unexpectedly he met Qin Qiong and others, which disrupted his plan of private visits. After leaving the restaurant, he had no interest in continuing to stroll and went home directly.
As soon as I returned to the palace, I saw a carriage parked next to the gate. The carriage and the coachman were all in turmoil. It was obvious that they were coming on a long journey, which made Yang Yuanqing slightly stunned. Who is coming?
He turned over and dismounted, entered the mansion gate, and saw Chuchen running towards him, with a surprised expression on his face, and said anxiously: "Yuan Qing, guess who is here?"
"I don't know who it is?" Yang Yuanqing had an intuition that it must be the old friend.
Chuchen pulled him aside and whispered: "It's Mrs. Zheng."
"Who is it?" Yang Yuanqing was also surprised.
"Why!"
Chuchen sighed, "It's your mother, Minqiu is talking to her. Have you seen her?"
Yang Yuanqing sank down and said coldly: "What are she here?"
"I don't know the specifics. Judging from her appearance, she looks quite depressed. Do you see her or not?"
Yang Yuanqing didn’t have the soft heart as soft as Chuchen. He shook his head, “I don’t want to see her!”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his study, Chuchen looked at his back as he walked away resolutely. He couldn't help but sigh secretly. Although Mrs. Zheng was not very good to her before, her hatred and dissatisfaction in the past had long faded.
It's right.
Yang Yuanqing returned to his inner study room, took off his outer robe and hung it on the shelf. His originally good mood was disrupted by Mrs. Zheng's arrival. Although he could ignore many things and forgive him, it did not mean that he had nothing in his heart.
There are still a few people who cannot forgive him for hatred in his life, Mrs. Zheng and the Yang brothers are exactly the three people who have the closest blood relationship to him.
He could not forgive Mrs. Zheng for being mean and heartless when he was a child, nor could he forgive Yang Jun and Yang Rong's betrayal of his father. Some of the harm was that he could not get rid of his grudges with a smile.
Yang Yuanqing sat down. He was really upset. At this time, the door opened. Pei Minqiu walked in, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand. She slowly walked forward. She put the hot tea on the table and said with a soft laugh.
: "Don't you really want to see her?"
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I only hate her in my heart, maybe it's better for her if I don't see her."
"Husband, she was your mother after all. Even if there are so many bad things, you can't erase this fact. Besides, she knows that she is wrong. Why don't you give her a chance?"
"Knowing the wrong?"
Yang Yuanqing sneered, "Where did she know she was wrong? How did she know she was wrong?"
"She just went to the ancestral hall and knelt in front of your father's portrait and cried bitterly. I am also a woman. No woman is willing to be divorced by her husband. You should know a little about the situation back then."
Yang Yuanqing didn't say anything, Pei Minqiu advised him again: "My aunt and I have also communicated. My aunt said that it was her mean to you back then that you could have what it is today. If she kept you in a honey jar, you would be today.
What would it look like? And my aunt said that she also owes Mrs. Zheng a favor."
The last sentence moved Yang Yuanqing, and he asked lightly: "What kind of favor do you owe her to you?"
"Aunt said that it was Mrs. Zheng's strong opposition that allowed her to keep her innocent, otherwise she would have died for her husband."
Yang Yuanqing also sighed. Of course he knew that Mrs. Zheng did not object to her father's adoption of her as a side room for her aunt's good. It was just that many things were causal and could not be explained clearly. Mrs. Zheng was a fork in his destiny, and she could not.
Say she is useless.
Pei Minqiu saw that her husband was already a little moved, so he further patiently advised him: "My husband will be the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty in the future. The emperor should have a lot of miles of heart. If he doesn't even have this little heart, how can he look down on the world? Mrs. Zheng is just a little person.
, why take her to heart?"
"Okay! What are she doing? What are her requirements."
Yang Yuanqing reluctantly agreed to let Mrs. Zheng go and not care about her past evil deeds. Pei Minqiu was overjoyed when she saw her husband letting go and said quickly: "Actually, she has no requirements, she is lonely and hopes we can give it to you.
She has a destination, and she can give Yang Jun and Yang Rong a future."
"This won't work!"
Yang Yuanqing refused without hesitation, "I can give her a wealth of old age, give her beautiful homes and land, and let her spend the rest of her life without worries. I can promise her, but the Yang brothers cannot do it, I will give it to her in Huining County.
Yang Rong once said that if they were willing to build a hut in front of their father’s tomb for three years, I could forgive them and even give them wealth and glory. This is my only condition. Now this is still the condition, you can tell her."
Pei Minqiu knew that her husband had decided, so she couldn't persuade him again, so she had to nod and agree, "Will you not see her?"
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "It's embarrassing to meet, so you don't need to meet. You can deal with this matter!"
"good!"
Pei Minqiu had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go first."
When he walked to the door, Yang Yuanqing called her again, "You have to grasp the bottom line. I will not give her the queen mother. At most, I will give her a first-rate wife."
"I know, after all, she is no longer the mistress of the Yang family."
Pei Minqiu turned around and went out, and Yang Yuanqing fell into deep thought again. He thought of Li Shimin's secretly bribing Yang Rong. The two brothers may be really two key pieces.
