CHAPTER XVI

Yuwen informant

Yang Yuanqing was stunned, the border generals have always been like this, and the border generals in Zhuo County and Mayi County are also like this, how can they say that they are secretly communicating with the Turks?

Yang Xuangan sighed softly, "Of course, if the saint doesn't care, there is nothing, but if there are ill-intentioned people who make a fuss about this matter, Yuanqing, you have been at the border for a long time, you don't understand that the people of the court are sinister, you are a young man, and you are deeply favored, I don't know how many people are jealous of you, the more this is the case, the more you have to be careful." ”

Yang Yuanqing was silent, he admitted that his father was right, but other than that, he had no other way, did he want to let him be like Qiu He, and strip Wuyuan County away, Wuyuan County was his foundation, so many military households, how could he start.

Yang Xuan felt that Yuan Qing was thoughtful, and knew that he understood in his heart, so he didn't say much about it, but turned the topic to Yuan Qing's marriage.

"Yuanqing, when are you going to marry Minqiu?" Yang Xuangan asked in a relaxed tone as much as possible.

"This year! The specific time has not yet been decided, I will wait for the result of the discussion between Princess Leping and the Pei family. ”

Yang Xuangan was silent, he felt very embarrassed, his son's marriage should be discussed by his father, but now it is an outsider elder to discuss, in such a big matter as marriage, Yuanqing completely excluded the Yang family, so that Yang Xuangan suddenly understood a little, Yuanqing's resentment towards the Yang family is quite deep, not a day or two can make up for it, and even it will never be able to make up for it, Yang Xuangan has a deep regret in his heart, the family relationship between their father and son cannot come back,

After being silent for a long time, Yang Xuan sighed and said, "Yuanqing, do you have anything to do with me tonight?" ”

"It's nothing, since my father came to Wuyuan County, I, as a landlord, should come to see my father."

Yang Xuan smiled bitterly, "Then thank you very much." ”

Both of them stopped talking, finished dinner silently, and came in to take away the plates, Yang Yuanqing got up and said goodbye, "Thank you for your father's reminder, it's just that Yuanqing has a lot of things, so I won't accompany my father much, Yuanqing will leave!" ”

"Go ahead!"

Yang Xuangan listened to his son's mouthful of Yuanqing, not even the self-proclaimed "child", which made him sad for a while, he suddenly thought of the word, "respect and stay away", it is the true portrayal of Yuanqing to him, Yuanqing specially came to visit him, accompanied him to dinner, the etiquette is very thoughtful, but their hearts are far away, Yang Xuan's heart is full of self-blame, this is his responsibility, he even forgot that Yuanqing is nineteen years old this year, or twenty years old, he is not qualified as a father, and what do you expect his son to do to him?

Yang Xuangan sat in the big tent and was stunned, and at this moment, he came to report again, "Qi Yu Shangshu, there is a tall and fat man who claims to be a child of the Yang family who is outside asking to see him." ”

Yang Xuan was stunned for a long time, he suddenly understood who it was, and hurriedly said, "Invite him in!"

After a moment, Yang Wei walked into the big tent excitedly, knelt down and kowtowed, "Wei'er see the head of the family!" ”

Yang Xuangan's eyes moistened a little suddenly, and the timely appearance of his nephew Yang Wei made him see another glimmer of hope in despair, and this glimmer of hope was a seed planted by his father back then.

．．．．．．

Yang Yuanqing left the big tent of the Ministry of Rites, a person led him to Gao Xi's sleeping tent, Gao Xi was receiving two officials to visit, seeing Yang Yuanqing come in, the two officials quickly got up to salute, Gao Xi smiled and introduced Yang Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, come and get to know the two men of my Great Sui." ”

He pointed to a burly man and smiled at Yang Yuanqing: "This is Honglu Shaoqing Zhu Kuan." ”

Yang Yuanqing saw that Zhu Kuan was about thirty years old, with dark skin and bright eyes, and knew that this person led the army to the sea last year and conquered the Ryukyus, so he couldn't help but respect him, bowed to him and smiled: "General Zhu's feat last year, Yuanqing has also heard of it, I don't know if I can go to Yizhou Island?" ”

Yizhou is the Taiwan of later generations, called Yizhou during the Three Kingdoms, and collectively called Ryukyu in the Sui period, Zhu Kuan smiled slightly: "Manager Yang is talking about the big island of Ryukyu!" Passing through there, but the island was full of miasma, and it was difficult to stay for a long time, so he only replenished fresh water at the mouth of the river and returned, how did Chief Yang know about the island? ”

"Huh! I've just heard people talk about it, but it's a pity, it's a treasure island, if Zhu Yuanjun is interested in the future, he can go south, there are Nanyang Islands, there are merchants to and from the Great Sui, there are even more rich, there are precious spices, timber and precious stones. ”

Gao Gong smiled slightly: "Yuanqing, when it comes to the southern countries, I have read the records of the high monk Fa Xian, there is a terracotta country over there, it is a big country, a radius of thousands of miles, and our Sui envoy is about to go there." ”

Gao Gong smiled and introduced the second person to Yang Yuanqing, "This is Chang Jun, the head of Tuntian, who is about to send an envoy to the Red Earth Country, and he actually came to ask me for advice, what can I teach him?" ”

Chang Jun was also about thirty years old, of medium stature, Yang Guang because of the remoteness of the terracotta country, the risk was extremely great, so he recruited volunteer envoys to the Manchu civil and military forces, and Chang Jun was recruited.

He smiled at Yang Yuanqing Shili and said: "Mr. Yang doesn't know, although Gao Xiangguo doesn't ask about Xiangguo, but in the hearts of our juniors, his prestige is unreplaceable. ”

Gao Gong was respected by his juniors, and he was really useful in his heart, he stroked his beard and smiled: "I don't have any good opinions, it's nothing more than eight words, neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous, showing my great Sui majesty, so that the king of terracotta can convince him to come to the Hajj." ”

Chang Jun gave a long salute, "The words of the high minister, the younger generation will remember it!" ”

Chang Jun and Zhu Kuan saw that Gao Xi had something to talk to Yang Yuanqing, so they said goodbye and left, Gao Gong asked Yang Yuanqing to sit down again, poured him a cup of tea, and asked with a smile: "How do you feel about seeing your father?" ”

"It's light!"

Yang Yuanqing sighed and said: "Gao Xiang, I'll tell you the truth, I feel really light about him, call him father, I think it's just a politeness, I want to be kind to him, but I always feel that there is a big mountain between us." ”

Gao Xi nodded slowly, "I can understand, I remember the first time I saw you, you fought with a group of children, and your head was broken and bleeding, and as a result, your father was going to punish you indiscriminately, I still remember clearly, at that time you were full of resentment towards your father, I thought it was childish words, but I didn't expect that when you grew up, the relationship between your father and son would become so weak?" ”

"Nope! In fact, it has nothing to do with that incident, freezing three feet, not a day's cold, to be honest, I have only seen him ten times at most since I was a child, and I really have no feelings, and his wife, I should call my mother, hurt me deeply, Gao Xiang, I can only do this today. ”

"It's good that you can take the initiative to meet him."

Gao Xi sighed slightly, and reminded his mind again, "At least you can still listen to other people's advice, unlike someone, if others persuade him, he will kill someone!" ”

Yang Yuanqing knew that he was talking about Emperor Yang Guang, so he was silent for a moment and said, "Gao Xiang, you should go back to your hometown to retire." ”

"Yuanqing, I remember the last time you told me, if the king of Changning is in trouble, let me resign immediately, sure enough, last year, several sons of the former prince Yang Yong were killed, during last year's northern tour, I advised him because of the construction of the Great Wall, and was almost killed by him, in your words, I also considered resigning and going back to retire, but when I think of the Sui Dynasty that the first emperor worked hard to establish, our old ministers tried their best to fight for decades before the great Sui Dynasty appeared, and it was ruined by him like this, I am unwilling!"

Gao Xi's tone was full of grief and desolation, "Yuan Qing, do you know how he built the Great Wall?" From Yulin to Zihe, the Great Wall of more than 500 miles long, he requisitioned millions of people, and asked for 20 days to complete the construction, 20 days! Do you know how many people died in the end, nearly half of more than a million people died, and how many people died when he dug Tongji and Yongji Canals, and asked for ten months to complete the construction of the Eastern Capital, and ordered the local food offerings, how many people died, how many people died, how many people died, he regarded the people as grass mustard, but the cloth he gave to the Turks, with a wave of his hand, was 20 million horses, so generous to the Hu people, but so cold to his own people, Yuanqing, how can you let me go home and retire with peace of mind, I am worried that the Great Sui Dynasty established by the first emperor will be destroyed in his hands, and when I die, The first emperor asked me, why didn't you stop him? How can I answer the first emperor? ”

Yang Yuanqing didn't speak, he could feel the anger in Gao Gong's heart, and realized the worry of an old minister about the country and the people, Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, and then slowly explained: "In fact, many things in the saint are not bad, but his means and methods of doing things are wrong, which has caused evil consequences, just like Gao Xiang said, he gave 20 million pieces of cloth to the Turks, in fact, the Turks also gave back tens of millions of livestock, which is actually a gift trade, but the saint did not handle the details well, so that it attracted everyone's resentment, and the canal was dug, It can be said that the benefits are in the future, but he only took two years to complete it, and the disadvantages fall on the contemporary. ”

Gao Gong sneered, "Yes! I admit that the Turks gave back tens of millions of livestock, but where are these livestock? Did he give it to his people? No, a small part is used as his military rations, and most of them would rather die and be buried, but the cloth that can be taken out of Zuozang is real, he is not distressed at all, it is the blood and sweat of the people of the world, the wealth we accumulate year after year, he dug canals, I can understand that he has great talents, but I hate him for treating the people like mustard and spending extravagantly, isn't this how the Qin Dynasty died? ”

．．．．．．

Yang Yuanqing left Gao Gong's tent, he could understand Gao Gong's mood, he couldn't get used to what Yang Guang did, he wanted to stop it but couldn't do anything, he was suppressed for more than a year, and finally saw a person he could trust, his emotions were a little out of control for a while, but he was really worried about Gao Xi, if his words were heard by Yang Guang, he really couldn't live, Yang Yuanqing couldn't do anything, so he had to sigh, leave the official area, and return to his big tent.

．．．．．．

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was also in the imperial study of ** city at this time to review the folds, he was also busy with court affairs, not because of the inspection and give up the government, he was very busy every day, no one could do it for him, and he had to be busy late at night to fall asleep.

At this time, a guard reported, "General Yuwen has an urgent matter to see!" ”

"Announce him in!"

Yang Guang put down the pen, he didn't know what urgency Yuwenshu would have when he came to him?

After a while, Yu Wenshu hurriedly walked in, bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister just heard about something, which is related to Yang Yuanqing, and the minister didn't dare to hide it, so he came to report to His Majesty." ”

"Something to do with Yang Yuanqing? What's the matter? Yang Guang's face became solemn.
