Early the next morning, Luo Shixin hurriedly walked into Jinyang Palace, all the way to Ziwei Pavilion, just now Yang Yuanqing sent a guard to find him, saying that there was something important, he said a few words to the Ziwei Pavilion guard, and the guard led him into the building.

"Your Highness, General Luo Shixin asks to see you."

"Let him in!" Yang Yuanqing's tone seemed to be a little displeased.

Luo Shi's confidence was nervous, he didn't know what was going on, pushed open the door and walked in, in the room, Yang Yuanqing sat behind the table, his face was gloomy, and there was Cheng Biting Jin with a wicked smile standing next to him, Luo Shixin's brain thundered, he knew what was going on?

He had no choice but to step forward and kneel down on one knee to salute, "Humble Luo Shixin, participate in the governor!" ”

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him coldly and said, "General Luo, are you guilty?" ”

Luo Shixin was stunned for a moment, and said for a while: "Humble duty.... Ignorance. ”

"Humph! The last time you set up with the enemy, I spared you, but I didn't expect you to learn a lesson, and you actually set up with the enemy again. ”

Yang Yuanqing slapped the table heavily, "You are so bold!" ”

Luo Shixin's scalp tingled, and he slowly lowered his head, "Guilty of despicable duty!" ”

"Someone!"

Yang Yuanqing shouted angrily, and several pro-soldiers walked in outside the door, and he pointed at Luo Shixin, "Push me out, cut it!" ”

The soldiers were stunned, Cheng Biting Jin was so frightened that his urine was about to come out, he didn't want Luo Shixin's life to complain, his legs were weak, 'Plop! 'Kneeling on the ground,' Steward, Rao.... Spare Shixin! ”

The soldiers also knelt down, "Chief, spare General Luo!" ”

Luo Shixin lowered his head, trembling slightly, of course he knew that his senior brother didn't really want to kill him. It was what he did that angered the senior brother, he didn't dare to quibble, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, I know that I am wrong!" ”

Yang Yuanqing was also extremely annoyed in his heart, early in the morning he received a small report from Cheng Biting Jin, yesterday Dou Xianniang came all the way to find Luo Shixin. was reprimanded by him extremely indifferently, and ran away from his popularity, at this time Yang Yuanqing hated him so much that he wanted to kick him over.

"Get up!"

Only then did Cheng Yanjin know that the manager didn't really want to kill Luo Shixin, but just scared him. Cheng Yanjin scolded himself in his heart, stood up, and said with a smile: "Boss, it's better to let Shixin get people back." ”

Yang Yuanqing glared at him fiercely, "What do you want you to talk about?" ”

Cheng Yanjin was frightened. Don't dare to say another word. At this time, Luo Shixin also stood up and stood aside with his hands down, Yang Yuanqing glanced at him again, and saw a few bloodshots in his eyes, it is estimated that he didn't sleep all night last night, this muddy ball. Self-inflicted.

The anger in Yang Yuanqing's heart calmed down a little, and he slowly asked him, "Why do you refuse?" ”

Luo Shixin bit his lip. said in a low voice: "She is Dou Jiande's niece, if the lowly position has anything to do with her." I feel sorry for the brothers who died in battle. ”

"What an extraordinary Great Sui General!"

Yang Yuanqing laughed angrily and said: "According to your idea, Yang Shidao should go and hang himself, his brother is a scholar of the Tang Dynasty, and I Yang Yuanqing should also jump into the river, Yang Jun and Yang Rong are still officials in the East Palace of the Tang Dynasty, and the brothers who died in the war are not going to fight for you Luo Shixin, what are you doing to be amorous?" ”

Yang Yuanqing's series of angry scoldings made Luo Shixin unable to raise his head, Yang Yuanqing snorted again, "You are still called a big husband in vain, in fact, you are narrow-minded and pretentious, you can't even tolerate a woman, who else can you tolerate in your heart?" ”

Luo Shixin's face was flushed with scolding, and he knelt down again, Yang Yuanqing gave Cheng Yanjin a look, Cheng Yanjin suddenly woke up, and immediately pulled a few pro-soldiers out and closed the door.

There were only two people left in the room, Yang Yuanqing and Luo Shixin, Yang Yuanqing took out a piece of information from the table and threw it to him, "Take a look for yourself!" What happened in Licheng County? ”

Luo Shixin picked up the information and looked at it, Yang Yuanqing said coldly on the side: "Dou Jiande wants to marry Liu Heimin, but the informant ran away, Liu Heimin turned his face with Dou Jiande in anger, the relationship between the two has become bad, the informant has nowhere to go, and she has come all the way to join you, but you drove people away, you touch your conscience and say it!" ”

Only then did Luo Shixin know that the informant had escaped from marriage and came to him, and he was extremely remorseful, so he wanted to kill himself, "I'll go... Find her back! ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "This is what it looks like, I only send you one sentence, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, you go!" ”

Luo Shixin turned around and left slowly, and at this time, Cheng Yanjin walked in again, "Chief, what else do you have to order?" ”

Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and said: "You help him find it together, I will allow you to use five hundred sergeants to assist in the search, I estimate that Dou Xianniang will not leave Taiyuan for a while, and if this matter is done well, I will have a reward." ”

Cheng bit his golden eyes and rolled his eyes, and said with a deep salute: "Humble and Luo Shixin are brothers, this is done for the sake of love and righteousness, and I dare not ask for a reward from the general manager." ”

"That's a good point!"

Yang Yuanqing nodded approvingly, although this Cheng Biting Jin has a stinky mouth that is hateful, greedy for money and lustful, but at the critical moment, he still behaved well, then Yang Yuanqing remembered something again and asked him: "When will your wife give birth?" ”

"Come on! The midwife said that within ten days, and several midwives said that they were fifty percent sure that they were children, could the manager give Xiao Biting Jin a name? ”

'Fifty percent sure', Yang Yuanqing smiled dumbly, it was really interesting.

"What if you give birth to a daughter?"

"The daughter is also a baby, the lady said, she will ask the princess to give her name."

Yang Yuanqing thought for a while, and said: "This is your first child, if it is a son, it can be named Cheng Yuansi, and the milk name is Tie Niu, how about it?" ”

Cheng bit Jin Daxi, the chief manager gave him a name, and his son's future was also there, so he hurriedly bowed deeply, "Thank you for the name of the chief manager, and thank the chief manager, I must let the lady give birth to an iron cow...... Cheng Yanjin also retreated, the room was completely quiet, Yang Yuanqing stood in front of the map with his hands in his hand, he was thinking about his next move, although seeing that the summer harvest was imminent, this was not the time for a big war, but he had to prepare and lay out in advance.

At this time, a report from the guards came from outside the door, "Your Highness, Xiao Langzhong is here." ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Let him in!" ”

The door opened. Xiao Jin walked in quickly, bowed and bowed, "Xiao Jin see His Royal Highness!" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "Now that I'm in the Ministry of Rites, can I still adapt?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the lower officials can adapt."

Yang Yuanqing laughed. "You're not really going to do it in the Ministry of Rites, are you?"

Xiao Jin's face flushed, of course he didn't want to do it in the Ministry of Rites, but he just asked him how to answer, could it be that he was not suitable in the Ministry of Rites?

"No matter where the subordinate does it, he must always do his best to get things done. In order to do the way of the minister. ”

Of course, this is a kind of officialdom cliché, Yang Yuanqing can hear it, but the cliché of officialdom is not bad, many times the cliché of officialdom is very necessary, just like diplomatic rhetoric. Although it doesn't make the slightest sense to say it. But it is a lubricant, and without it, contradictions will arise a hundredfold.

However, if you have to take official clichés or diplomatic rhetoric seriously, it can only show that the person concerned is naïve and does not understand the way of the power field, and the truth of the power field is always only seen with the eyes. Think with your head, not with your ears.

So Xiao Jin is satisfied with the Ministry of Rites. It's not what he says, but what Yang Yuanqing does. is also the Ministry of Rites, no one will be satisfied with the transfer from the Records Room to the Army, but it is different if you are transferred from the Records Room to the Army to be the Ministry of Rites.

Yang Yuanqing knows that of course he will not treat Xiao Jin badly, but there are some things that must be done roundly, and the outline cannot be too heavy, this is the imperial court after all, his Yang Yuanqing's every move has been noticed, and he can't be like a family, demote Xiao Jin today, and promote him tomorrow.

The Xiangguo who understand the truth may not care, but the majority of middle and low-level officials who do not understand the truth will be dissatisfied, and will think that there is no rule and think that he Yang Yuanqing is unfair, but he can't publish the truth to the public!

This requires a bit of political wisdom and a slick way to properly handle Xiao Jin's position.

"Hmmm! I'm going to let you go on an envoy to Jianghuai to do a great thing for me. ”

"Your Highness, please!"

"When you go to Du Fuwei's place, you must let him accept the canonization of the Sui Dynasty and form an alliance with the Sui army...... Cheng Biting Jin walked out of Jinyang Palace in a hurry, he wanted to rush home to listen to the lady's belly, whether it was a little iron cow or a little heifer inside.

Just came out of Jinyang Palace, but saw Luo Shixin waiting for him at the door, his scalp was numb, he knew that Luo Shixin was looking for him for help, but where did Dou Xianniang go, how did he know?

Helpless, Cheng Yanjin had to step forward slowly, "Brother Shixin, why aren't you in a hurry, are you still delaying time here?" ”

Luo Shixin sighed, "There is a vast sea of people, where can I find her?" Fourth brother, you can help me come up with ideas! ”

"This.... I'll go home first and I'll help you figure it out later. ”

Where is Luo Shixin willing to let him go, grabbed him by the placket of his clothes, and said angrily: "I don't blame you for suing me for my black state in front of the chief manager, you picked up a hundred taels of gold yesterday, and I will forget it, but you have to do things for me, otherwise I will go home with you and shake out all your old bottoms." ”

"Oops! It's not interesting enough for you to say this, it hurts your feelings! ”

Cheng Biting Jin's martial arts are far inferior to Luo Shixin, he grabbed the placket of his clothes, almost his feet off the ground, and he had no choice but to say: "With a brother like you, my old Cheng is eight lifetimes old, okay!" Let's go to Marshall. ”

Luo Shixin was stunned, "What are you looking for Ma Shao?" ”

"You idiot!"

Cheng Yanjin scolded: "If you want to know if the informant is still in the city, who is not looking for Ma Shao...... Half an hour later, in front of the Nanjin Gate in Taiyuan, Ma Shao, the general of the Nine Gates, was loudly asking the soldiers on duty yesterday afternoon and evening.

"A young woman in a black shirt and a black dress, carrying a bow and arrows, a horizontal sword, a white hat, and riding a red rouge horse, should be very eye-catching, have you noticed?"

Several soldiers replied in a loud voice, "General Hui, I saw this woman yesterday morning, and entered the city after the princess." ”

"And what about later? Did you go out of town? Luo Shixin couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't see her out of the city, I certainly didn't see her...... At the gate of Dongfen City, someone was also asking the soldiers guarding the gate: "A young woman in a black shirt and black skirt, carrying a bow and arrows, a horizontal sword, a white hat, and riding a red rouge horse......
