Tongshu with Mei

Yang Tao hummed, and said: "Sure enough, you are young and full of vigor. I heard that you knocked out a tooth of King Qi because of a girl in Goulan yesterday?"

Yang Ye said: "Yes, but I am willing to invest in another gold tooth for King Qi."

Yang Tao chuckled when he heard the words: "I can afford gold teeth for him. For such a trivial matter, you disregarded the distinction between superiority and inferiority, and you beat people with your hands. You read all the sage books into the dog's stomach Already." He paused: "Yang Ye, I've read all the stories you posted a while ago. My fourth younger brother went to war for two years, and he said that I miss you very much, and I miss you very much. The border war Hey, he is an army man with outstanding military exploits, this... I know it all. But you have written a letter requesting reinforcements, this proposal needs to be carefully considered. It's not that I don't want to give him reinforcements, it's just that my Dayan Dynasty is located in the Central Plains , Surrounded by powerful enemies, the distribution of this force is stretched. You must be considerate of my difficulties. Tell King Zhao to be considerate."

Yang Ye hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I did not write the letter at the behest of the King of Zhao. It was my minister who heard that the frontline battles were tense at the Ministry of War, and that Zhao Wang asked for reinforcements. Response. I turned around and thought about it for a few days before I gave the memorial to His Majesty, but it was only for the safety of the border. Your Majesty, please forgive me for being presumptuous. I just want the Dayan Dynasty to dominate the world, and I want Your Majesty to become a generation of Mingjun. It is only praised by the people. Now the border has been repeatedly invaded, and the people are in panic. The word etiquette can only be respected and prevailed in a peaceful and prosperous age without war and chaos."

Yang Tao said: "I didn't say that you wrote the letter at the behest of King Zhao, so raise your head."

Yang Ye raised his head slowly according to his words, and looked at the handsome and beautiful current emperor, who was also looking down at him, his peachy eyes twinkling with affection: "Yang Ye, what do you mean, I still have Isn't it considered a generation of Mingjun, who has not been praised by all people?"

Yang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in his heart, "Do you think you understand it yourself?"

Yang Tao was born with a gentle and generous temperament. He paid attention to literary governance in governing the country and tried to teach and admonish the people with loyalty, filial piety, honesty and shame. Therefore, some stories about female biographies and 24 filial piety were circulated in the Dayan Dynasty. There were anecdotes such as cutting stocks and treating relatives.On weekdays, all the courtiers in the court, especially the civil servants, always talked about this with relish, and Yang Tao considered himself a wise emperor, and he loved and cared for several so-called virtuous officials.Yang Ye was young and energetic, and couldn't understand the mutual flattery between the monarch and his ministers, so he often said he was sick and couldn't go to court.

In fact, Yang Tao didn't want him to go to court, because Yang Ye was young, and occasionally made outrageous remarks.He was the only son of the King of Shu in the past. Yang Tao had a reputation for being kind and generous, so it was not easy to punish him casually.Therefore, the monarch and his ministers are tired of seeing each other, and it is better not to see each other.

At this time Yang Tao smiled, walked slowly to the side of the dragon case, and said: "Yes, you are right. Judging from your past behavior, this kind of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness and shame are of no use to you at least. There are quite a few people who mentioned this matter among the ministers of the DPRK and China, and you, Yang Ye, are not the first, nor will you be the last. Someone will continue to mention it in the future. You asked me to increase my troops, where are you going to increase my troops?"

Yang Ye blurted out: "The cavalry is the best when dealing with the captives of Sika. The Central Guards under the command of the Twelve Houses now have more than [-] people, and the light cavalry they belong to can compete with the cavalry of Sika."

Yang Tao was stunned, and suddenly stretched out his five fingers and stretched out his hand to pat on the case, but he was silent for a long time, and said for a long time: "Marquis of Huainan, you are so courageous. You even hit the idea of ​​the Central Guards. It really is Huang. You kid, be unscrupulous."

Yang Ye said anxiously: "Your Majesty..." Yang Tao waved his hand suddenly, stopped him, and said, "I'll ask you something else first."

Yang Ye said: "Your Majesty, please, I know everything, and I can say everything."

Yang Tao said: "My younger brother Yang Xi, after his concubine died in childbirth, why didn't he want to continue?"

Before he opened his mouth to ask, Yang Ye had already had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he never expected that he would ask such a thing. He was slightly stunned for a moment, and Fang said: "This... before the princess was alive, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang and his wife's relationship Shen, after the death of the princess, he missed her, so he refused to continue."

Yang Xi once had a concubine, the only daughter of the late Prime Minister Wei, who was married by Yang Tao at that time.The two were indeed harmonious and loving as Yang Ye said, but the concubine's first child was difficult to deliver, and Yang Xi happened to be recruited by Yang Tao to accompany her on the hunt when she was about to give birth. When he got the news and came back, it was already too late, and both mother and child died.During that period of time, the huge Prince Zhao's Mansion was gloomy and gloomy.Yang Xi was very depressed, and it took a long time to recover slowly.

Afterwards, Yang Ye also tried to persuade Yang Xi to continue, saying that he wanted to have another sister-in-law, but Yang Xi never said a word.There are two concubines in his room, who serve him indifferently, and occasionally sleep with him.But maybe it was too easy, and nothing came out in a few years.Yang Xi has been mixed up to this day, and he has not even had an heir.

The emperor leaned on the dragon case, pointed a finger at his noble chin, looked at Yang Ye with burning eyes, and his heart was full of twists and turns. He only had a shocking news a few days ago, but he didn't know Is there an error.He stared at Yang Ye and thought, but it was useless to ask.

Yang Ye waited patiently, and after a long time he heard him say: "I... am not satisfied with your answer. But I will consider this matter. You prepare a generous gift and send it to King Qi to apologize. I will go today .”

On the second day, the emperor issued an imperial decree in the court, dispatching 2 light cavalry troops under Yuan Ouming, the right guard general of the Central Imperial Guard, to the border to help King Zhao defeat the enemy.But the emperor issued an order to King Zhao, who was away on an expedition, and ordered Bei Chenqing, his deputy general and deputy governor of the camp, to make a special trip back to Beijing to take the [-] people away.

The ministers couldn't figure out what the emperor meant by this move, but none of them dared to say anything about Zhao Wang Yang Xi.

Hearing this news, Yang Ye was surprised and overjoyed. He turned his head and said to the young guard beside him, "I just got it a few days ago. Yun Qi was injured on the battlefield, even on his leg. I don't know what to do." Is it right? I have to work hard and come back again. But it’s fine for soldiers and horses, it’s good for soldiers and horses, and it’s fine for Yun Qi to work harder.”

For the past two years, Bei Chenqing has been following Yang Xi at the border.Although he was born as a slave, he was naturally intelligent and brave and good at fighting. Yang Xi was in the central army, so he went out to lead troops to fight against the enemy. He made outstanding achievements in battle, and his reputation in the frontier was actually greater than that of Yang Xi.This illustrious reputation has already spread to the capital, and of course it has also reached the ears of the emperor.

On the first day Bei Chenqing came back, everyone in Huainan Hou's mansion knew about it.On the second day, Yang Ye took Zhong Lizhen and Nian Wei out of the city ahead of the officials sent by the emperor, and waited early outside the gate of Beibao City in Luoyang.When he saw a group of soldiers approaching from afar, with the big character Beichen on the banner, he hurriedly went up to meet him and shouted: "Yun Qi!"

I haven't seen him for two years, Bei Chenqing seems to be a little darker, wearing a half-worn Tsing Yi, smiling at him in the morning sun, his gentle smile makes people feel like spring breeze.Behind him are the three Ma brothers, who came back with him this time.Seeing Yang Ye, he wanted to turn over and get off the horse, but he frowned slightly because of his injuries.Ma Tianbao rushed over to help him, Yang Ye rushed forward and pulled Ma Tianbao aside, praised: "Yun Qi, you are so gentle and introverted when you frown, and your movements are measured, it makes me feel uncomfortable to see my claws scratching my heart! Come on, I'll carry you off the horse." He stretched out his hand to hold Bei Chenqing's arm, and was about to carry him directly onto his back from the horse.Bei Chenqing hurriedly said: "This is not good, little wolf, how can I let you carry me on your back?"

Yang Ye said: "It's nothing for me to carry you. You fought hard at the border. I have nowhere to use my energy in Luoyang. I can only vent my energy in the Goulan restaurant. It's really wasteful. I might as well use it to carry you." Pulling hard, he pulled him onto his back.

Bei Chenqing has been hanging out with Yang Ye since he was ten years old, and he has the patience to deal with the flying Yang Ye, so Yang Ye has been pestering him since he was a child.Now that he has grown up, when he sees him, he still refuses to let him go, and he always clings to him for a while before giving up.

While the two were playing and laughing, Bei Chenqing raised his head, and suddenly saw the officials sent by the emperor to welcome him not far away, he hurriedly said: "My young master, please let me down, let me down! Struggling to get off the ground, Yang Ye had no choice but to let him down, and Zhong Lizhen supported him who was staggering and turning, and went up to him.

The official who came to greet him was Jing Huaiyu, one of the emperor's favorite ministers, Minister of Rites.Jing Huaiyu wears a vermilion official uniform, because of his tall and thin body, the official uniform is also worn by him with a bit of fairy air.At the moment when everyone was exchanging greetings, Jing Huaiyu's slender eyes rolled around the two of them a few times. Yang Ye, who was fearless and courageous, felt a slight chill down his spine from his strange eyes, and asked: "Jing Huaiyu The servant looks at me like this, is there something strange about me?"

Jing Huaiyu smiled and said: "I'm looking at the Marquis of Huainan today. He is more and more elegant and handsome. And he is getting more and more face in front of His Majesty. A few words can persuade His Majesty to agree to send out the Central Guards." [-], this is an unprecedented event in our court! Lord Hou is favored and has a bright future, gratifying to congratulate."

Yang Ye always looked down on these civil servants, especially those who were known as the emperor's favorite ministers, and just smiled and didn't answer, leaving him there.

Jing Huaiyu didn't take it seriously, she flicked her sleeves, looking at herself like a fairy, she turned to Beichenqing and said, "General Beichen, you have traveled a long way back to Beijing, and you have worked hard all the way, Your Majesty will hold a banquet for the general at the Mingde Hall in the palace tomorrow. Then please come to the banquet."

Bei Chenqing bowed and said: "Yes, Lord Jing please report to His Majesty on your behalf. Your Majesty's grace is deeply in my heart, and I will definitely attend the banquet on time."

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone returned to the city. Jing Huaiyu got into the official sedan chair in front, and Bei Chenqing and Yang Ye followed behind.Yang Ye said: "Yun Qi, I want to share a ride with you." Throwing his horse to Nian Wei, he squeezed behind him, leaned on his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Do you think Jing Shilang Weird?"

Bei Chenqing nodded slightly: "He just joined the court in the past two years, right? When I was in the capital, he was an outside official, and I have never met him. He always stares at the two of us, I don't know What's the meaning."

Yang Ye squeezed his waist, and said with a smile: "I heard that he can read faces, did you see that we have a husband and wife face, so you keep watching?"

Bei Chenqing slapped his paw away: "Don't talk nonsense, let him watch. I heard that His Majesty's most beloved courtier is him?"

Yang Ye shrugged his nose, and said with a sneer: "The word "best" is still out of his reach. The ones who are really loved may be kept in a corner, and we idlers can't see them. By the way, how is my brother? Are you fat or thin now?"

Bei Chenqing said: "It's still the same, it hasn't changed. Your Highness asked me to bring you some good things, and I'll bring them to you later. We have to be careful when we go to the banquet tomorrow. Are you sure that the ones who will be transferred are General Yuan Ouming's subordinates?" ?"

Yang Ye said: "Yes, the news I got should be good. The Ministry of War said that the cavalry was transferred this time, and only Yuan Ouming led the cavalry in the Central Guards. It's just..." He pondered slightly: "I always It feels too easy, why don't we go and find General Yuan tonight to confirm?"
