Chapter 27 Chrysostom has opened

In the imperial study room, Yang Jian stared blankly at a jade hairpin on the imperial desk. This was the relics of Yuchi Lian'er. When he saw the objects and thought of others, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Thinking of Lian'er's tenderness and his wife's cruelty and ruthlessness, he cried in pain, "Liang'er, I'm sorry for you!"

At this time, a eunuch whispered: "Your Majesty, the emperor apologizes!"

"Apology?" Yang Jian sneered, "What is her crime? I have always been guilty and I will never see you!"

The eunuch dared not retreat, how could he report to the queen? After a moment, Yang Jian sighed, "Go and tell the queen that I am considering military and national affairs and have no time to see her."

"Yes!" The eunuch was about to go down, but Yang Jian called him again, "And, tell her again, I have forgiven her for that matter."

When the eunuch went down, Empress Dugu also thanked her. The room was very quiet. Yang Jian sat there for a long time and finally slowly wiped away the tears. He picked up a memorial. This was a quick and fast memorial for eight hundred miles. It was just sent by the Turkic envoy Changsun Sheng.

Yang Jian was slightly shocked. He immediately forgot about his children's sadness and focused on reading.

When the Sui Dynasty was first established, it was insufficient in strength, and the Turks had strong troops and repeatedly invaded large numbers and occupied important places in the north. The Sui army was more defeated and won fewer victory.

In the second year of Kaihuang, 400,000 Turkic cavalry invaded the Sui Dynasty and entered the Great Wall. The Sui army was defeated again and again, and the Sui army was in danger. At this critical moment, Changsun Sheng persuaded Tiele to attack the Turkic nest, and finally forced the Turkic army to retreat with the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, saving the Sui Dynasty.

From then on, Yang Jian adopted the Turkic strategy of Changsun Sheng's "family friendship and attacking near, away from strong but weak" to unite with weak Turkic tribes, isolated the powerful Mugan Khan, and used a divisive strategy to provoke conflicts between the Turkic nobles, eventually trapping the Turkic into a civil war and eventually split into the East and West Turkic.

The civil strife of the Turks effectively alleviated the threat of the Turks to the Sui Dynasty and gave the Sui Dynasty a valuable opportunity to breathe. After nearly twenty years of rest and recuperation, the north and the south were unified, and the people were rich and the country was strong. The Sui Dynasty had reached its peak.

In order to further differentiate, the previous year, Yang Jian married his daughter Princess Anyi to Tuli Khan. Changsun Sheng advised Tuli Khan to move his tribe south to the old town of Dujinshan, making it a barrier to the Sui Dynasty. In the past two years, Dulan Khan's troops invaded the south, and Tuli reported to the Sui Dynasty in time, and asked the Sui general to prepare in advance, and the Turkic army was repeatedly defeated.

Today, I don’t know what the purpose of Changsun Sheng sending 800 miles to rush forward? Yang Jian hurriedly read it, and the memorial said that Tuli Khan found that Dulan’s troops were manufacturing siege equipment on a large scale, and it was very likely to attack Datong City. After reading the memorial, Yang Jian fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the eunuch came to report again, "Your Majesty, Grandpa Yang is asking for a meeting."

Yang Su came just in time, and Yang Jian nodded, "Please give him an audience."

After a moment, Yang Su hurried into the imperial study room and knelt down to Yang Jian, "My minister Yang Su apologized to Your Majesty!"

Yang Su was very nervous. He had just asked the shìwei quietly that his grandson had stolen into Xi Neiyuan to hunt, which surprised him again. Although this was not a serious crime, it was never a good thing for Yuan Qing to appear in front of the saint with a bow and a knife. It would be fine if the saint didn't care, but if the saint was concerned about this matter, he would be a little confused.

Yang Su secretly looked at Yang Jian, and saw that he was in deep thought, and he felt even more uneasy.

At this time, Yang Jian had already woken up from his thoughts. He smiled, "What is Yang Aiqing's crime? Please get up quickly!"

Yang Su stood up uneasily, and Yang Jian glanced at him again, remembering that Yuan Qing said that there was only five pounds a month, and there might be no problem in a remote place, but this is the capital, how can three people survive with these five pounds a day?

Yang Jian said lightly: "Yang Aiqing, I remember that I have rewarded you a lot of money and property over the years. I have rewarded you with more than 100 hectares of land alone. I remember correctly!"

Sweat flowed down Yang Su's back, and he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is remembered by me for being in my heart."

"Well! That's not my problem."

Yang Jian smiled slightly again: "That's why the rules in your mansion seem to be unreasonable!"

Yang Su wiped his forehead and felt sweaty, "Yes! I neglected my housekeeper, so that my family affairs troubled Your Majesty. I am guilty."

"There is no sin. It's just that I like Yuan Qing very much. He is brave, honest, and filial. A ten-year-old boy, still knows how to support his mother and weak sister, which really touched me. He looks very much like me when I was young. I am very close to him. Yang Aiqing, I like this child. You should train him well for me. I hope he can become the second Yang Taipu in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yang Su couldn't help but feel the ecstasy in his heart. Of course, he understood that the emperor meant that Yuan Qing was allowed to inherit his career. This was that the emperor had opened a golden mouth, which meant that their Yang family could continue to be favored.

"I will never let down the holy grace and will definitely train Yuanqing into a talent."

Yang Jian looked at him meaningfully and smiled, "Okay! I won't mention this."

Yang Jian received a memorial from Changsun Sheng, "I want to discuss the Turkic matters with you again."

Yang Jian ordered the eunuchs again, "Go and invite Gao Prime Minister Gao too!"

Yuan Qing first went to Liren Market and sold the wild boars and pheasants. He got 15 yuan of money and the harvest was pretty good. When he returned to Yang Mansion, it was already dusk.

Seeing the Lantern Festival, the Yang Mansion was also very busy these two days. All the tribe members were busy setting up lanterns. When they walked to the front of the gate, they saw the fourth uncle Yang Jishan commanding several family members to hang four big lanterns.

In recent years, because Yang Xuangan, Yang Xuanzhao, Yang Xuanzong and other legitimate sons have all been officials outside and Yang Jishan is the eldest in the family, he gradually began to be valued. In particular, Yang Su's second wife He Ruoyun Niang has a very strong relationship with his sons such as Xuangan. Therefore, He Ruoyun Niang intends to win over and use Yang Jishan, making Yang Jishan gradually become the steward of the Yang Mansion.

In the past, his family called him Silang, but now he was called "Fourth Master" to show his respect for his status. Yang Jishan saw Yuan Qing from a distance, but pretended not to see him.

Among all the younger generations, he was a little afraid of Yuan Qing. He neither treated him preferentially, but he did not dare to make things difficult for him. He never ignored him.

Yuan Qing hated Yang Jishan as a child, but as time went by, the hatred in his heart gradually faded. He stepped forward and smiled and said hello, "Uncle Fourth, do you want me to help?"

"No need, go and do it!"

Yang Jishan answered lukewarmly, then turned to pay attention to hanging lanterns, "Be careful, this lantern is precious, don't break it."

Yuan Qing was not angry either. At this time, a fat and tall young man walked out of the door, wearing a brocade robe and a golden crown on his head. He was quite fat and mighty. He said to Yang Jishan in a muffled voice: "Dad, give me five hangs of money."

This young man is Yang Wei, the youngest son of Yang Jishan. He has been Yuan Qing's mortal enemy since he was a child. However, since Yuan Qing learned martial arts, he basically has no relationship with him. He heard that Yang Wei also learned martial arts in the Yang Mansion Martial Arts Hall Middle School. This kid is quite powerful. The Yang Mansion martial arts master is called Zhao Boming, and he is also a famous martial arts master in the capital. He praised Yang Wei for his talent, carefully building the foundation for him, and teaching him to learn martial arts. In five years, Yang Wei became the best among the younger generation of the Yang Mansion.

However, it is hard to change. He first became king and dominated in the school and blackmailed the money of other Yang children. In the past two years, his father's status has risen, and he has become even more domineering and bullying the weak. He is especially favored by his grandmother He Ruoyun Niang. Whenever someone sues him, he will be suppressed by He Ruoyun Niang, making him even more fearless.

Yang Jishan frowned and said to his son unhappily: "Didn't you just gave you twenty dollars a few days ago? Why do you want money again?"

"Dad, I'm going to buy medicine. I'm not going to practice making pills. I don't have enough money."

"shit!"

Yang Jishan became even more angry, "Your master only sent three hundred pills of pills in the morning, saying that you can use it for a month, don't think of lying to me, go! I don't have money to give it to you."

Yang Wei stomped his feet in hatred, "If you don't give me, I'll not give me. I asked my grandmother to go."

He walked down the steps angrily, and Yang Jishan snorted and scolded him from behind: "You dare to ask my grandmother for money, I will interrupt your tuǐ!"

Yuan Qing was not interested in the father and son, and continued to move forward. He could not enter through the gate and had to go to the west gate before he could go home.

But after walking a few steps, Yang Wei leaned against the wall of the mansion, glanced at him sideways, and seemed to be waiting for him. Yuan Qing ignored him and passed by him in a blind eye.

"stop!"

Yang Wei called him, Yang Wei was extremely tall and fat, even taller than Yuan Qing. Five years ago, Yuan Qing went to home school and fought with fifteen Yang children led by him and was expelled from his family school. Since then, Yang Wei rarely saw Yuan Qing.

Because Zhang Xutuo taught Yuan Qing to learn martial arts very secretly, the Yang family was hidden, and even Yang Wei didn't know about it, but he had heard of Yuan Qing's hunting and making money.

He walked up and reached out to stop Yuan Qing, "I can ignore the fact that you bullied me when you were a child, but you have to take some money to atone for your sins."
