Chapter Seventy-Seven: Yang Guang Acts as a Matchmaker
"Jingshi is very lively today?" Yang Guang looked at the good news in his hand, this is the good news sent by Yuwen Chengdu and Li Xin, announcing that the bandits in Juxian County have been exterminated by the two of them, Li Zhongwen was killed in the chaos, Hu Shang He Panren was captured alive, Xiang Shanzhi absconded, and the rest of the bandits were either captured or killed.
"Well, that's right." In front of him, there are not only Yu Shiji, but also Pei Shiju, these two people are not very good in the court, but they are deeply trusted by Yang Guang.
"Your Majesty, these are all related to Ying Yanglang." Pei Shiju said with a smile: "There are rumors in Beijing today that Tang Guogong's daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door has an affair with Li Xin, and some say that after the eldest grandson was captured, she was defiled by someone. This matter was spread everywhere in the whole Daxing City. ”
"Oh! What is that cousin of mine doing now? Yang Guang suddenly looked at Pei Shiju with a smile and said.
Pei Shiju had a cold war in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Closed the door to thank the guests, Changsun Sheng's son Changsun Wuji didn't even enter the city gate, so he went to Zhuangzi outside the Sun family to rest." ”
"Li Xin is not young, I heard that Li Yuan went to Juxian County this time and there are his fourth daughters?" A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Guang's mouth, revealing a hint of inscrutable.
"Exactly. Thinking about it, he wanted to marry his fourth daughter to Li Xin, but once this happened, I am afraid it was impossible. Yu Shiji shook his head and said.
"The third daughter doesn't marry, but she marries the fourth daughter, which is a bit interesting." Yang Guang raised his eyebrows and said, "Li Xinke agreed?" ”
"There is news that Li Xin has a childhood sweetheart woman in Shouyang, and Li Xin told Li Jiancheng that he can marry a woman from the Li family, but he can only be a flat wife."
"The wife of the chaff doesn't go to court, Li Xin has done a good job." After hearing this, Yang Guang nodded again and again, with a look of satisfaction on his face. Although he is also a merry person, he has a lot of feelings for his original partner Xiao Shi, and when he heard about Li Xin's behavior at this time, he also appreciated it very much.
"That's right, the ministers are also very admired, but after this incident, Li Yuan is probably reluctant." Pei Shiju hurriedly said. As for whether he really admires Li Xin in his heart, I don't know.
"Li Yuan rejected Li Xin once, so he can't refuse a second time!" Yang Guang said disdainfully: "How can I say it, Li Xin is also my favorite general, as long as he makes meritorious contributions, it is not impossible to be crowned a marquis and a prince in the future, Li Yuan This is the view of the portal, Li Xin's root is still in Zhao County, he is a member of Zhao County Li, is he not worthy of him Longxi Li?" ”
Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju glanced at each other, and hurriedly said, "The emperor is sage." There was a wry smile in his heart, this kind of algorithm doesn't work, although Li Xin was born in the Li family of Zhao County, but it is not a lineage, but a side door that has been separated for a long time, and Li Xin is not a side lineage, but a concubine, the mother is just a maid, to be honest, it is already a great blessing to be matched with Li Yuan's concubine, this Li Xin actually wants to marry him as a flat wife, don't say it is Li Yuan, even other court officials will not agree.
"Li Xin is not young anymore, I heard that he doesn't even have a word. Well, I'll give him a word, and I'll call it Chengyuan! Lee Seung-yeon. As soon as Yang Guang's voice fell, his complexion suddenly changed, he suddenly thought of something, his face showed a trace of hesitation, and finally shook his head and said, "Simply, give him another marriage." Yu Shiji, you go to the Li Mansion for a walk! Sue Li Yuan, don't stick to your family background, Li Xin won't be able to worship the marquis in a few years, and it will not be impossible to worship the marquis, and if you don't get it right, the official position will still be above him Li Yuan? When the time comes, I'm afraid that on the other hand, Li Yuan will still beg Li Xin? ”
"This. Be. Yu Shiji secretly glanced at Yang Guang, and saw that Yang Guang was smiling, but his eyes were gloomy, which made him feel a sigh in his heart, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly responded.
"Li Xin has made a meritorious service again this time, how to reward it? What good is it for the two of you? Yang Guang said with a smile again.
A trace of jealousy welled up in the hearts of Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju, Yang Guang understood that he supported Li Xin, not only helped him find Li Yuan, a backer, but also a big backer after the backer. If Li Yuan was forced to be a backer, Yang Guang took the initiative to be a backer, and he was an insurmountable backer.
"Your Majesty, Li Xin has just been crowned the general of Yingyang Lang, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to improve it in just a few days!" Yu Shiji said with some embarrassment.
"How can there be no reason why a military general should not be rewarded for his meritorious service, if he is not rewarded, who else will make a contribution to me in the future? The Eastern Crusade is imminent, and it is necessary to have a fierce general like Li Xin to strengthen my prestige. Yang Guang was as cold as lightning, falling on his two confidants.
The two of them had a slander in their hearts, and they also made a contribution, and the same is true for Yuwen Chengdu, why do you just reward Li Xin and not Yuwen Chengdu? More importantly, everyone knows that Yang Guang is actually a stingy person, and he has very few rewards on weekdays, but this time he took the initiative to seal Li Xin, which is abnormal in itself.
"In this case, he will be a tiger tooth general, what does the emperor think?" Pei Shiju thought about it, and finally said softly. In a month, he has risen from ordinary people to Huya Lang generals, and his subordinates have mastered six or seven thousand elites, such an improvement speed is probably unprecedented, and he was personally married by Yang Guang, such a favor is that Pei Shiju has a trace of jealousy in his heart.
Yang Guang frowned, and was about to speak, Yu Shiji saw it clearly, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers know that Your Majesty loves Li Xin, but Your Majesty, Li Xin is only eighteen years old, and he is already a tiger tooth general, this is difficult for some generals to do after a lifetime of struggle, and now they have to be promoted, so how can Li Xin be rewarded for his meritorious service in the future?" The minister thought that the reward should be carried out step by step, this time the emperor rewarded the official position, and helped him find a good family business, for Li Xin, it is already a great grace, if he is promoted again, I am afraid it is not a good thing for Li Xin. ”
"There is still a Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty? Why can't I have a Huo Qu disease in Dasui? Yang Guangguang said loudly.
"The champion Hou died young, the emperor, the water is full, and he is in a high position at a young age, which is not necessarily a good thing." Pei Shiju dissuaded: "The Eastern Crusade is imminent, according to General Li Xin's merits, is it difficult to take a few more steps?" It is just a thought to worship the marquis, but for Li Xin, if he doesn't pay attention to it, it will be an abyss! The ministers did not oppose it, but believed that this matter should be done gradually. This can better reflect the emperor's love and trust for Li Xin. Please also ask the emperor to take a clear look. ”
I have to say that Pei Shiju is really scheming, able to diplomacy with other countries, and govern the countries in the Western Regions in an orderly manner, at least there are no major problems in the Western Regions now, his words also caused Yang Guang to think deeply, and finally nodded.
"Since this is the case, I will send a decree to crown Li Xin as the general of Huyalang, rest for three days, and after three days, set off for Huaiyuan Town to be the vanguard of the army." Yang Guang finally gave the order.
Yu Shiji was about to speak, but he saw Pei Shiju gently tugging at his sleeves, his eyes signaled, and he took the words back.
