PS: Thank you book friends for killing people online, the monthly ticket support of China Black Dragon, and thank you for the reward and encouragement of book friends fkingbitch.
Yang Guang sighed softly: "Feng Lun is really this person, I don't know what kind of enmity he has with Wang Shichong, so that in the past, he almost killed people and couldn't kill him, but now when he goes to Yu Shiji, he doesn't stop, he bites and doesn't let go, if I kill Feng Lun, then Yu Shiji and Pei Yun will be terrified, and it will also give a signal to the children of the Guan Long family who have long looked at them unpleasantly, thinking that I am going to attack them, and the follow-up will be unpredictable." ”
Speaking of this, Yang Guang looked at Empress Xiao and shook his head thoughtfully: "This signal can't be sent, this period of time to reuse Jiangnan and Jingxiang literati to restrain the practice of the Shandong clan can't be shaken, Meiniang, what can you do to punish Feng Lun and make Wang Shi full of intentions, but not let Yu Shiji have a misunderstanding?" ”
Xiao Meiniang smiled slightly: "Actually, Yu Shiji is also a smart person, if it weren't for the fact that His Majesty has a lot of trust in Wang Shichong, with his personality, he would have listened to Feng Lun's words and came to impeach Wang Shichong." The reason why he stopped was also to leave room for him, so His Majesty could not do things in an absolute way. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Meiniang paused and said with a smile: "It's just that Feng Lun didn't punish him severely last time, and this time he didn't change his life, and the concubine didn't necessarily want to deal with a Wang Shichong, but as a son of a family, he wanted to suppress this new rising power, I heard that those children of the family are also strongly opposed to the imperial examination that His Majesty has been vigorously promoting. This is probably the same as His Majesty's original intention of replacing these sons and daughters with new people in the imperial examination. It doesn't match. ”
A hint of coldness flashed in Yang Guang's eyes: "Mei Niang is right, they are doing against me openly and secretly, so this time I must conquer Goguryeo, and I also want to take advantage of the soldiers of the Guanlong family to be promoted in this battle, and to suppress those Shandong families." The literati in Jiangnan are still shallow and unable to confront the northern clans, so I must promote some children of non-family families to the court through the imperial examination, otherwise I will never have my own trusted courtiers by relying entirely on raiding the lord and recommending them to be officials. ”
Xiao Meiniang nodded: "So this is a good opportunity, by knocking Feng Lun, you can also show Your Majesty's will." The concubine thought that she would let Feng Lun go on an envoy to Goguryeo, or Baekje. Silla and other countries are a good solution. ”
Yang Guang's eyes lit up and he nodded: "This method is not bad, but in what name can you go to these countries now?" ”
Xiao Meiniang said with a smile: "Goguryeo was attacked by my Great Sui Heavenly Soldiers this time, although it was a fluke victory, but it was still a heavy loss, let Feng Lun hold Gao Yuan accountable at this time, and let him continue to apologize." Forgive that Gao Yuan didn't dare to really kill Feng Lun. However, this line of work is also dangerous, and it can kill Feng Lun's sharp spirit. ”
Yang Guang shook his head: "Goguryeo is too dangerous now. Feng Lun is not a very courageous person, in case he loses the prestige of the Celestial Empire under the enemy's sword soldiers, it will be counterproductive, and it will not work to go to Goguryeo, but to the two vassal states of Baekje and Silla. It doesn't make sense, Meiniang, you can help think about it again, you want to go to a person who has a bad relationship with our Dasui, but it is not in danger of life. But where is better for this place of suffering and sinning? ”
Xiao Meiniang moved the lotus step lightly, and also thought about it as she walked, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly laughed: "Your Majesty, didn't there be a Beji chief Tudiji the day before yesterday who sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he was willing to submit to my Great Sui?" ”
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Meiniang is really witty, this Beji has always been a servant of Goguryeo, and he does not accept the king, but I heard that the Beji cavalry is fierce and good at fighting, even the Khitans, who are known for their ferocity, are afraid of them for three points, this time in the battle of Pyongyang, only 30,000 Beji cavalry, killed my army of seventy or eighty thousand, it can be seen that its combat power is extraordinary, if you can persuade this Beji to abandon Goguryeo and switch to my Great Sui, it is tantamount to cutting off Goguryeo's arm, yes, yes, I have been worried about this matter for the past two days, Let Feng Lun go......"
Speaking of this, Yang Guang hesitated again: "Feng Lun's courage is slightly insufficient, can this trip really complete the mission and let Beji come down?" ”
Xiao Meiniang's beautiful eyes wandered, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is not that we took the initiative to send an envoy to Beji, but that Beji chieftain Tudiji, claiming to have been treated unfairly by Goguryeo and not giving the reward he deserved, so he took the initiative to vote for my Great Sui, and he also sent his cronies to deliver a letter, and it was he who took the initiative to invite my Great Sui to send troops to meet him, so as long as Feng Lun can find a way to get to the land of Beji, there will be no other dangers." Feng Lun has been a Shishe for several years, and he has no merit in promotion, although this trip has to cross the territory of the Khitan, there is a certain danger, but I think with Feng Lun's cleverness, it will not be bad. ”
Yang Guang's brows stretched: "Okay, very good, it's settled, I will issue an edict in a while, let Feng Lun send an envoy to the end of Bejisu, and accept the surrender of the chief Tudiji." ”
Xiao Meiniang Yingying is a blessing: "The concubine wishes Your Majesty all the best, and her wishes come true." ”
Yang Guang nodded, looked at Xiao Meiniang, and said: "Meiniang, this time I went to Liaodong, I have suffered you, the weather is cold, the road is far away, let you follow the army and go deep into the wilderness, I can't bear it, you go back to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and help me take good care of Ah Zi (Yang Cambodia's nickname)." ”
Xiao Meiniang knew that this must be Wang Shichong acting according to the plan, but she still pretended to have a surprised expression on her face: "Your Majesty, is Ah Zi causing trouble again?" ”
Yang Guang snorted heavily, and said angrily: "This unsuccessful thing, I am working hard for the country outside, but he is dead in the eastern capital, and he does not reflect on his mistakes in the house, but comes out all day long to hook up with those former fox friends and dog parties." I can't pull away and go back to the Eastern Capital now, only you have to worry a lot, Meiniang. ”
Xiao Meiniang also pretended to be scared, knelt on the ground, and said: "It's all the fault of the concubine, not educating the child well, making him worry and angry with His Majesty, and asking Your Majesty to cure the crime of the concubine." ”
Yang Guang shook his head, picked up Xiao Meiniang, took her hand, and said softly: "Meiniang, Ah Zi has left the East Palace since he was ten years old, because I didn't choose a good mentor and friend for him, he was too indulgent, it really has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself." I'm far away, and there's no one in charge of the palace, so you have to do it. ”
Xiao Meiniang's eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible joy, and once again a thousand blessings: "The concubine has received the decree, I wish Your Majesty a complete victory in this expedition!" (To be continued.) )
