The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 525 Entering Huaibei
This morning, in Li Xiuning's bedroom, she was struggling to get up, but Yang Tong hugged her slender waist and looked at her with a half-smile. It’s endless when you get up early in the morning.”

In the dim light, Yang Tong saw her cheeks were bright red and her almond eyes were affectionate, and he felt a heat in his heart, and he hugged her even tighter.

Li Xiuning looked at the sky outside, and Yang Tong would not get up until she knew the time. Her husband had a strong sense of time, which is also a characteristic of a soldier.

"Husband, let's talk!" Although she was very willing in her heart, her body couldn't take it anymore.

"What did you say?" Yang Tong casually asked, sniffing the scent on her neck.

"You put me down, it's very uncomfortable to lie on my stomach like this." Yang Tong loosened his hands a little, and Li Xiuning immediately lay flat beside her husband, but was embraced by him, knowing that he wouldn't let her get up, and didn't struggle anymore. Holding Yang Tong's hand and gently placing it on her smooth belly, she said faintly: "I dreamed of a female Buddha last night. She put a baby boy who couldn't see clearly into my arms and said she was sending me A child, do you think I really want a child?"

Li Xiuning looked at her husband with hazy almond eyes, and there was an unspeakable expectation and pain in her beautiful eyes.

Yang Tong had one empress and five concubines, except for Xiao Yuexian, who had just entered the house, all had their own children. Li Xiuning was pregnant with another one. According to the superstitious customs of this era, it was a boy, but she was pregnant for more than four months and had a miscarriage. This has become Li Xiuning's biggest heart disease.

Seeing her expression of fear and fear, Yang Tong felt sorry for her, and couldn't help but kiss her on the lips, "This is God's will for you to have a child today! Don't let me down..."

After Yang Tong finished speaking, he turned over and went back up, and there were bursts of sluggish sounds.After going on like this for more than half an hour, everything gradually calmed down.

outside the temple.

Li Xiuning's personal maid, Mei Yue, waited with a group of maids carrying toiletries.

"Meiyue, is your Majesty up yet?" A dignified, elegant, and well-mannered woman came over. She was Jiang Fengyi, the head of the Ouchi. After arriving in Luoyang, she continued to be the head of the Ouchi, responsible for the daily chores of Miyagi; Yin Mingyue is now in charge of the government affairs notification.

"Return to the manager, it should be soon." Meiyue replied quickly.

Jiang Fengyi smiled and said: "Girl Meiyue, you are honest, honest, and hardworking. You have never made mistakes in the past few years with Concubine Li to the Sui Dynasty. The Empress has decided to confer on you as a talented person yesterday. From today onwards, you can wear royal blue clothes and gems and emeralds." Ornament for material."

When the maid next to her heard this, she immediately became envious. In addition to the super empress dowagers, empress dowagers, and empresses in the royal family, there are also the first-rank four concubines, the second-rank nine concubines, the third-rank Jieyu, and the fourth-rank beauties. There are seven grades: people, five-rank Baolin, six-rank imperial maid, and seven-rank Cainu. Women with these titles are either relatives of the emperor, or maids who serve the emperor and his women. They are the closest group to the emperor. woman.In addition, there are Liushang 24 divisions and Gong Zhengsi, but these are women who are laborers, and their highest rank is the fifth rank.

Meiyue was conferred as a fourth-rank talented person, which is already the highest among female officials, and above that, is Jieyu, a third-rank official. Generally speaking, Jieyu and above are already members of the royal family, and the ranks of female officials are different. The responsibilities are different, and the clothing also has different manifestations.

Mei Yue was a little excited, and said quickly: "Thank you, Manager."

"You deserve it." Jiang Fengyi smiled, but her heart was filled with embarrassment. Yang Tong owed her so much money, and it would be fine if she didn't pay it back. It's really shameless for her to be ordered around by others. .

"Come in!" At this moment, Li Xiuning's slightly weak voice sounded from the bedroom.

"Here!"

Meiyue led the maid behind and gently opened the door, and walked in slowly.After a while, the neatly dressed Yang Tong stepped out of the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Lord Mingyue sent someone to report, saying that many people are waiting." Jiang Fengyi said.

"understood!"

Yang Tong responded and walked outside.

Jiang Fengyi felt upset when she saw his proud appearance, trotted a few steps, and followed, "Hey, when will you pay me back?"

"Money? What money?" Yang Tong was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Jiang Fengyi.

Jiang Fengyi smiled softly, and said: "Yicheng City, and the treasures of Zhaowu Palace are all mine, but you don't give me a penny, a piece of cloth, a piece of wool, or a piece of sheepskin; now I'm your servant." Do you have a little salary, excuse me?" She had a smile on her face, and this smile was really like a peony blooming, a lily just blooming!
"Hey!" Yang Tong remembered immediately, but he was not fascinated by this goblin, "I remember you said that you hated everything about Turkic, and the wealth of a city is not as good as a piece of homeland. At worst, I will pay you ten The original homeland is ready, and it will make you big."

"That won't work..." Jiang Fengyi rolled her eyes and said, "I hate everything about the Turks, but Yicheng City belongs to the Sui Dynasty, and Zhaowu Palace also belongs to the Sui Dynasty. I don't hate the present at all. Give it back to me alright."

"Okay!" Yang Tong said with a nonchalant smile, "Then I'll make you the lord of Yicheng and the lord of Zhaowu Palace. You can go and live there. If you're not satisfied, I'll make you Linshuo Palace and Jinyang Palace." , Shenwu Palace, and Daxing Palace Palace Master, when I am free, I will bring my whole family to your house as guests for a few years."

Jiang Fengyi smiled coldly: "Why don't you let me take care of the house?"

"It's comfortable talking to smart people."

"I do not."

Yang Tong had a headache and said, "Then what do you want? Gold, silver and jewelry, or celebrity calligraphy and painting, I'll give it to you."

"I want you!" Jiang Fengyi said bluntly.

Yang Tong laughed out loud, "Exchange Yicheng City and Zhaowu Palace for the entire Sui Dynasty, you really know how to do business."

"As long as you know."

Jiang Fengyi's appearance of being proud instead of ashamed made Yang Tong speechless, and he said after a while, "Honestly, what are you going to do?"

For this 'Princess Yicheng', he was really helpless, beating her would definitely not work, scolding her felt like a compliment.

"I want to be an official!"

"Say it? What official?" Yang Tong didn't know what to do, and immediately said: "I declare in advance, if I can agree, I will agree, and if I can't, just dream."

"Zhaoyi."

Yang Tong was stunned: "The first of the nine concubines?"

Jiang Fengyi said shyly, "Yes, this is it."

Yang Tong was stunned for another moment, then his eyelids twitched: "After all, you still want to sleep with me."

"What's the matter if you let me sleep for a few nights? At worst, I won't ask you to pay back the money in the future."

"Hiss..." Yang Tong only felt his scalp go numb. After he crossed, he had never loved anyone. Li Yuan and Li Shimin dared to beat him, but this time, he was really shocked, "Well, you Jiang Fengyi, so you Treat me like a whore."

"You are not at a loss!"

"Who gave you the courage?"

"It's the courage that money gave me. Anyway, you owe it so much that you don't even know it."

"That's so true...I'm speechless." Yang Tong looked at Jiang Fengyi speechlessly and helplessly.

Jiang Fengyi was aggressive: "I give you two choices, either I will sleep with you, or you will sleep with me!"

"Is there a difference?" Yang Tong always knew that under this woman's beautiful face was a very filthy heart, but unexpectedly she became so filthy.
Jiang Fengyi said seriously: "There should be."

"I can't figure out why you want to sleep with me all of a sudden." Yang Tong said strangely:

"I want to have a baby to play with..."

"All right, all right, we'll discuss this matter later..." Yang Tong interrupted, "We're getting down to business now."

"Okay!" Jiang Fengyi showed a hint of complacency on her face. Although Yang Tong's coping with the situation was greater than the reality, she was not in a hurry, because Yang Tong's words made her feel that she was one step closer than before. As long as she was one step closer every day, sooner or later Can put him to sleep.

. . . . . .

When Yang Tong finally got rid of Jiang Fengyi's entanglement and came to the main hall with his head as big as a bucket, Wei Yunqi, Fang Xuanling, Yang Shidao and others noticed that Yang Tong's complexion was quite bad. I dare not ask more questions.

"What's the matter?" It's not yet time for the court meeting, and this group of important ministers arrived without a trace, so Yang Tong also became a little dignified.

"Your Majesty!" Du Ruhui, Minister of the Procuratorate's Ministry of Rites, cupped his hands and saluted: "Minister Zhang Xuan said that he had surrendered Dou Jiande. He accepted the reward from the Holy Majesty and has come to Luoyang to thank him. The three counties of Qingzhou were recovered without bloodshed."

"Well done!" Hearing Du Ruhui's words, Yang Tong laughed immediately, and said loudly, "Okay, as expected of Zhang Yi's descendants, I did not disappoint me. I should be rewarded."

"Your Majesty!" Minister Wei Yunqi, who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, said in a down-to-earth manner: "Zhang Shilang's ability to complete the task so easily has a lot to do with the oppressive army. It is they who made Dou Jiande lose the courage to inherit as an enemy; to say credit, It also belonged to Zuo Pushe and many other soldiers, but Zhang Shilang, who was sent as an envoy, did not play much role."

Yang Tong felt that what he said was true. Under such circumstances, anyone who was sent as an envoy could make Dou Jiande surrender. If the first contribution was given to the Ministry of Rites, it would be too unfair to the Ministry of War. "Well, I understand. Alright, let's record Zhang Xuan's contribution first, and reward him at the end of the year."

"Here!"

Wei Yunqi and Du Ruhui responded.

"It is great joy to take Beihai, Donglai, and Gaomi counties without bloodshed, but the next step is the issue of governance. The Ministry of War has completed its mission, and then the Ministry of Officials appoints Liangcai to govern, the Ministry of Civilian Anmin, the Ministry of Military Affairs to suppress bandits, and the Ministry of Punishment to ask questions. The Ministry of Industry is responsible for supervising the governance and law enforcement, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for repairing infrastructure, and then the Ministry of Education runs schools. Qingzhou is the place where chaos was the first and long ago. There are many bones, and the people are miserable. Let the common people be wronged again."

"Here!"

"Jiang Shangshu!"

"Chen is here!"

"The place between Donglai and Gaomi is the closest to Wa Kingdom. There is a bay there. Find a suitable place to build a military port. The military port is the priority for all construction."

"Yes!"

Yang Tong thought for a while, and then said: "Make the matter of Dou Jiande's descent to the Sui Dynasty a top secret, and let Zuo Pushe keep it secret."

Wei Yunqi asked: "My lord, are you planning to attack Donghai, Xiapi, and Pengcheng?"

Yang Tong nodded and said, "Li Mi is going south with all his heart. Du Fuwei is under great pressure. He is now our general in the Sui Dynasty. Now that we are free, we must help him no matter what, and attract some of Li Mi's troops from the north."

"I don't know who the Holy Majesty intends to make handsome?"

"Zuo Pushe!" Speaking of this, Yang Tong couldn't help laughing: "I heard that before Zuo Pushe left Luoyang, we wiped and polished his beloved armor and polished his horse. He refused. He was full of energy and wanted to fight a beautiful battle, but after running to Qingzhou to show off his power, Dou Jiande surrendered without a fight. It is estimated that the old man is very depressed, so I decided to let him have a real fight."

"Haha!" Everyone laughed.

"Appoint Zuo Pushe as Generalissimo of Xuzhou, in charge of the Xuzhou theater, and Shen Guang and Pei Xingyan as deputy commanders. The news of Dou Jiande's surrender should not have leaked out, and perhaps it can achieve unexpected results. At the same time, let Li Jing choose the opportunity to fight. This battle, We focus on Li Mi, at least we want to recover all the territory north of the Huai River."

Dou Jiande was the most important part of the Southern Expedition plan. He, Liu Heikai and Wang Xiaohu contained as many as 15 Sui troops, but now Liu Heitai was defeated and surrendered to Li Mi, Wang Xiaohu was defeated by Dou Jiande and disappeared Dou Jiande lowered the Great Sui again, which not only relieved the worries of the Sui army, but also let the more than [-] troops unleash their vitality. With the addition of this new force, Yang Tong was no longer as gentle as before.
