Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 447
After all, Yu Wenshu is a big boss who has experienced many storms. Since there is no room for change in the matter, he has to admit it if he doesn't admit it.

Fortunately, Yang Yue can indeed come back, he knows in his heart, don't look at Xuangan speaking for Pei Ju today, it's just a matter of saving face, the estrangement between the two families has already arisen since the day Yang Yinjiang resettled, and there is no possibility of repair.

I will bear with you a little longer, and sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Yang Guang hoped that Chi Dao would be repaired within a year, but the progress of the project was slow, the prince, Zhang Heng, Yan Pi, and Huangfu Yi were all complaining, and he couldn't push any further.

Now there is no one to help him take the blame, and there is no other way but to let nature take its course, because he knows Yang Ming well and knows that his son has some things that he won't do.

The progress of the Jinyang Palace is good. Li Yuanshang said that the new Jinyang Palace will be completed by the autumn of this year, so Yang Guang plans to go to Jinyang after the completion.

"Why are you still here?" When he came to Empress Xiao, Yang Guang met his second son, Yang Wei.

Yang Hao smiled awkwardly, and got up to leave.

"Since you're here, let's sit for a while longer." After sitting down, Yang Guang frowned and asked, "What have you been doing recently?"

Yang Hao respectfully stood aside and said, "Your servant is reading military books."

"What?" Yang Guang asked with a look of surprise, "You read the book of war? What do you want to do?"

Empress Xiao persuaded from the side: "Okay, okay, Min'er is your own son, how can you guard against him like a thief? He is reading military books, and he is also thinking about the future conquest of Goguryeo."

"On paper!" Yang Guang sneered and said, "Tell me, what military books have you read?"

Yang Hao said: "I have read Sun Tzu's and Wu Zi's art of war, as well as Wu Zixu's "Water War Art of War Collection", and recently I am reading Zhuge Wuhou's "Sixteen Cheap Strategies."

"Do you think these tactics are useful?" Yang Guang frowned.

Yang Hao nodded and said: "The art of war is the bone, and practice is the keystone. Naturally, the combination of the two is required."

"But you don't have the opportunity to practice," Yang Guang said, "You had a lot of opportunities in the past, but you didn't grasp them. If you want to grasp them now, isn't it too late?"

Yang Hao moved his ears, nodded and said: "I'm not looking for practice, but I have nothing to do, and I know that my father intends to personally conquer Goguryeo, so I read some military books. It's a fun way to play time."

"There is no trivial matter in the military family, how can it be called Xiaoqu?" Yang Guang said in a deep voice.

Yang Hao hurriedly said, "It's my son who made a slip of the tongue."

"Slips of the tongue will also miss important things," Yang Guang said lightly: "You are my son, and it is the basic ethics to be cautious in your words and deeds. Sometimes you can't say a word wrong, and you would rather not say it than talk nonsense. Since you You have just started studying military art, so keep reading, and I will consider you in a few days."

"My son understands that he must read and think deeply, and work intensively," Yang Hao said.

"Go on," Yang Guang waved his sleeves.

Yang Hao resigned and left.

After the second child left, Empress Xiao ordered the maid to take out a letter from a small box and handed it to her husband.

After reading it, Yang Guang frowned and said, "How old is Xiao Rui?"

Empress Xiao smiled and said: "It's fifteen, it's time to practice and practice. In Ming'er's letter, he hoped that Xiao Rui could go to the East Palace and help Xianma Liu Xuan. I think it is feasible."

Yang Guang smiled.

Third child, third child, you are really worried, are you afraid that second child will gain real power through your aunt?
In fact, Yang Guang is quite relieved, because his son is smart enough to think of many details, and only those who are thoughtful and considerate of the overall situation can inherit the great cause.

Xiao Rui is the eldest son of Xiao Yu, the minister of internal history, and the queen's nephew. This move by the third child is obviously to curry favor with the queen and make friends with the Xiao family by the way.

"It's fine for you to decide on such a small matter," Yang Guang put down the letter with a smile.

Empress Xiao curled her lips: "Even if it's a trivial matter, I don't dare to make decisions."

Yang Guang could hear that his wife was complaining that he did not delegate power to her, and Yang Guang would not let the harem interfere in politics. His mother was so strong, didn't she also take the initiative to delegate power at the end of the Kaihuang period, and stopped attending court meetings?

That's the founding queen, how about you?It's just a ready-made one, without that prestige, and without the help of retainers like Gao Yan.

So Yang Guang said directly: "Your son is already a prince, don't be dissatisfied."

After all, Yang Guang got up and went to find other concubines.

Empress Xiao sighed, making people summon Shen Yuhua to have a heart-to-heart talk.

Every time Yang Guang went out, he would bring Shen Yuhua with him, but the relationship between the two of them was pure, and Shen Yuhua spent more time with Empress Xiao.

Both of them are from the south of the Yangtze River, and both are the emperor's wives, but they both have a disharmonious relationship between husband and wife, so naturally they have common topics.

With Su Lie's background, in fact, he is not popular at all on spring outings.

The most important thing for a powerful family is your birth. As for what position you currently occupy, they don’t care, because if you are from a poor family, even if you are a minister, you can only say that you are a genius and a courtier. If you do, your descendants will still not be able to get up.

Therefore, the marriage between the aristocratic families of the Great Sui Dynasty is a marriage between the same family, especially the daughter, who is not allowed to marry.

Yang Lihua knew in her heart what Yang Ming had hinted to her at the beginning, so she also facilitated the marriage of several wealthy families in Guanzhong and the aristocratic families in Jiangnan, Shandong, but this did not include the families on the ceiling, that is, the core members of the Guanlong aristocratic group.

Therefore, if Su Lie wanted to marry a daughter of a high-ranking family, at most she could only be a concubine. If she was a daughter of a concubine, she would not even think about it, even if Yang Ming forcibly intervened, not even Yang Guang.

This is the tradition and rules of the family, if the family is determined and unwilling, the emperor has nothing to say.

So Fang Xuanling married Yang Yue's concubine's daughter, this was Yang Yinjiang's bridge, and Du Ruhui could marry the Wei family's concubine, this is the difference in birth.

Li Jing's is purely at the legendary level, or will it be passed down as a good story?A son of an aristocratic family married a maid, and his spine was almost broken by the clan.

On the spring outing, it can be said that there are so many beauties, which one is not a delicate body with golden branches and jade leaves?

Su Lie was dazed, he was not a lecherous person, because there was a big beauty in his family, named Dong Ping, who was one of the five Jiangnan beauties that Yang Hao gave to Yang Ming back then, and Yang Ming gave him to be a concubine .

Su Lie was already very satisfied. He thought that without Yang Ming, she would not be able to sleep with such a beautiful woman. He even felt that it was not an exaggeration for Dong Ping to be his wife.

But people have ideas. He also hopes that he can marry a girl of good background, so that his future children will not be looked down upon like him.

In the Qing Dynasty, Han officials were not even worthy of slaves, but in the Sui Dynasty, even though Su Lie was already the crown prince's bodyguard, in the eyes of the big family, he was still a subordinate, an inferior person.

What is his father Su Yong doing?A petty official of the Shiping county government, he is not good, and he has no background.

Small officials like this can be arranged by the county magistrate himself, and why Su Yong moved from Hebei to Jingzhao with his son is because a relative who is the county magistrate has defected to others.

To put it bluntly, Su Yong is not as high as a servant of the Wei family.

So right now Su Lie is very embarrassed, many people know him, have heard of him, and because of the prince, they respect him three points, but when it comes to heart-to-heart, it is impossible.

Originally, they came for a blind date, but Su Lie ended up hunting in the mountains every day.

"Hey, that person, what about you," at the foot of the mountain, a girl standing behind a dozen guards shouted at Su Lie who had just come down the mountain.

Su Lie was stunned: "Is the girl calling me?"

"It's in the barren mountains, can it be that I'm called a ghost?" The girl also held a longbow in her hand, a quiver on her back, and was dressed in a warrior outfit.

Su Lie said with a smile: "What did the girl call me for?"

The girl pointed to the deer on Su Lie's shoulder and said: "My followers drove this deer here, and I never thought that you would snatch it first. Should you give it back to me?"

Just looking at the family crests of the warriors behind the girl, Su Lie also knew that he couldn't afford to offend, besides, good men don't fight with women, so he put the deer on the ground and said:

"This deer belongs to the girl."

On the contrary, the girl was stunned, and said with a chuckle:
"You are honest. I was just kidding with you. The deer you hunted is naturally yours. But I have been chasing this deer all morning. This deer is too smart and cunning. The shot is empty, but you are amazing, who is it? I wonder if you can lend me a hand and help me chase the deer?"

Su Lie smiled, cupped his hands towards the girl, and said: "There should be deer in the mountains ahead, girl might as well go and look for it, I will take my leave."

After finishing speaking, he went to look for the war horse tied in the forest. When he led the horse out, the girl's eyes lit up again:
"Good guy, Gaochang Longzhong? Who the hell is Xiongtai? There are not many such good horses in our capital."

At this time, a follower behind the girl came over and whispered:

"The emblem of King Qin is covered under the horse's stock, so it should be the crown prince's horse."

Su Lie's horse was given to him by Yang Ming when he defeated Tuyuhun.

The girl was taken aback, and gave a warrior salute to Su Lie:

"It's my eyesight that's stupid. My brother is actually the prince's man. Dare I ask Gao's surname?"

"I'm just kidding," Su Lie cupped his hands and said, "Prince, prepare yourself, Su Lie."

The reason why he told the truth was because the girl's background was not simple, and someone in the family was her master.

The girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she exclaimed, "It turned out to be Su Lie and Su Dingfang who broke the main force of Tuyuhun and defeated Yiwu? Then we have to get close."

"Don't dare, I can't afford a lowly position," Su Lie said.

The girl raised her hand and said with a smile: "There is nothing to be ashamed of. Since it is Brother Su, then I will trouble you. I am not reconciled to not being able to hunt a single deer today. Can Brother Su help?"

After finishing speaking, the girl took the reins from the attendant, got on the horse, and said with a smile:
"Come on, it's my daughter's honor to be able to gallop in the mountains and forests with Brother Su, you won't give me such face, will you?"

Su Lie shrugged and said with a smile: "Then respect is worse than obedience."
