Chapter 390

(are you greedy if you want red tickets, subscriptions, monthly tickets and rewards?)

Liu enjing and Xu Xiaogong walked side by side and talked in a low voice in the Xiaoyong camp. Neither of them felt very well. When your majesty decided to recruit brave men, there was no objection in the court. At that time, none of the generals thought it was wrong. After all, they didn't worry about money, food, armor and weapons.

Even if the great Sui Dynasty was strong, the loss of 700000 people in the northwest was not a small number. The loss should be made up. Recruiting brave people is a way. But no one expected that in less than half a year, the same things foreseen by civil servants had happened. The National Treasury is gradually unable to support these brave food and grass supplies, because it needs to pay more than 800000 people outside Chang'an city.

The emperor ordered that the unqualified soldiers, travelling expenses and grain should be distributed. As a result, many people came under the banner of joining the army and mixed some money and grain back. The expenditure of the state treasury in the past five months is staggering.

The more merciful and generous your majesty is to the brave people, the more the imperial court will pay.

Then there is law and order.

Gyeonggi Dao is originally the best area in the world. For example, when Fang Xie first came to Chang'an and passed Gyeonggi Dao, he couldn't even see a beggar in the street. Rich children dare not run amok, and naughty scoundrels dare not be presumptuous. Fang Xie once praised that if the world was so peaceful and prosperous, it would not be difficult for the great Sui Dynasty to last for thousands of years.

But now, the brave people gathered in several Acropolis outside Chang'an City, which was overcrowded. After training, these people come out to hang out when they are bored. A group of energetic young people will inevitably see who is not pleasing to the eye, and there are fights everywhere. Some fight for seats because of drinking, some fight for women in brothels, and the fierce ones don't need a reason to fight at all. They just want to fight.

Only these two things made the whole Sui Dynasty in a mess.

With your Majesty's grace, the local government is too cruel to punish these brave people, but a warning is meaningless to them.

The root of man's evil lies in that the more he is used to it, the more presumptuous he is.

The censor doctors of the censor's platform, who are hard - nosed and hard - nosed, have been handing over folds like snowflakes these days. But seven or eight out of ten of these folds will not come to your majesty. There is a yellow gate Chamberlain who is on duty every day in the inner court room. There are four bamboo baskets on his left and right sides.

The bamboo basket was pasted with a note on which the priorities were written.

Only the memorials in the two bamboo baskets, heavy and urgent, will be presented to the Changchun Garden immediately. This distinction is entirely between Pei Yan's thoughts. Pei Yan threw the memorial of the censor's platform into the slow bamboo basket without looking at it. No one knows how many days this delay will last.

In the past year, his majesty has intensified the cultivation of the crown prince. He took a lot of time to teach the prince himself, and even began to let the prince learn to read memorials. For this, not only the censor's people can't see it, but also many important officials in the court feel that they have gone too far. According to his age, the emperor is at the peak of spring and autumn. No accident. There is no problem sitting on the Dragon chair for another 20 years.

The emperors of the great Sui Dynasty lived long, and few died before the age of 70.

It's no problem to train the prince earlier, but now it should be the business of those officials in the east palace. Although the prince's study is still empty, which of the university scholars in Wenyuan Pavilion and Shuhua Pavilion is not full of knowledge, talent and practical knowledge?

In a year, the court became unstable.

Liu enjing and Xu Xiaogong walked side by side and talked as they walked. The two of them were friends when they conquered the Shang country in the south, and they have had feelings for decades.

"Rather than this, I would urge your majesty to send troops as soon as possible."

Liu enjing sighed and said, "nearly a million people are gathered in Gyeonggi. If they go on for a long time, there will be trouble. Training can be done. Take them to the East Bank of Yishui for further training. Let them see what the rebels are doing and what the battlefield is doing. If so many people are outside Chang'an City, it will be unimaginable if someone encourages them!"

Xu Xiaogong nodded: "the only thing we can do is this. In the past, when your Majesty was in a hurry to send troops, we advised him. Now your majesty is not in a hurry. We want to see how many brave people came, but we are in a hurry."

"This moment is another moment."

Liu enjing said, "you and I are old ministers. We can't pretend to be deaf and dumb."

"Your Majesty also attaches great importance to Niu huilun, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Zong Lianghu, the Minister of the Ministry of war. Why don't you and I host tonight and invite them to eat wine. If you can persuade them to write jointly, maybe your majesty will pay attention to it."

"Good"

Xu Xiaogong thought for a moment and said, "however, your majesty, the assistant minister appointed a while ago, Pei Yan, the waiter of the yellow gate, Niu huilun, the great scholar, and Zong Lianghu, the Minister of war... Three people, let's invite two, will you..."

"Whatever!"

Liu enjing said angrily, "the villain is in charge! Don't care about him."

Xu Xiaogong sighed. The two generals who should have been ambitious were full of worries.

Chang Chunyuan

The emperor looked at the covered melon racks outside in a daze. His spirit has been getting worse and worse these days. In the past, I couldn't be distracted by staring at the memorial all day. Now I can't concentrate more and more. Especially when the sun is warm in the afternoon, two eyelids begin to hang down involuntarily. Sometimes he can fall asleep by sitting on the earth Kang, but his spirit is even worse when he wakes up.

Eunuch Su Buwei, who holds a pen, glanced at the emperor. There was a flash of worry in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, if you are tired, take a rest."

The emperor suddenly smiled, as if he remembered something happy.

"Do you remember that when Fang Xie first arrived in Chang'an City, I called him into the palace. He was outside the house, hiding behind the rockery and stealing my cucumbers to eat."

It was really interesting. Su Buwei couldn't help laughing when he thought of it: "the first thief in history who dared to steal in Changchun Garden."

"He doesn't have a ghost in his heart. When he feels hungry, he picks something to eat. Some people have a ghost in their heart. When they are hungry, they pretend they have nothing to do. They look at the cucumber drooling and stand upright... Relatively speaking, I prefer the thief in your mouth."

He paused, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"It seems that someone came just now. Who?"

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows and asked.

"Luo Weiran, the commander of the bodyguard, said he had something to see. He had been waiting outside for a while."

"Pass it on."

The emperor waved his hand and sat up straight.

Outside the window, two little maids were playing with the prince's highness Yang Chengqian. The prince, who was only ten years old in a month, looked at the green cucumber and asked, "the father said that a thief once stole his cucumber, but the father thought the thief was a talent. Instead of blaming him, he planned to let him be my waiter... His name was Fang Xie, but I don't remember whether I had seen this man."

The pretty little maid in waiting glanced away and said, "a thief is a thief. Your majesty is too tolerant. If you want me to say, you should pull it out and kill it!"

The crown prince raised his eyebrows, turned to look at the little maid in waiting and said coldly, "your own palm! Dare you question what your father said? You've become more and more presumptuous recently! Stick death, stick death, do you know what stick death is? Do you know what the dead look like? You're so cruel at this age. If you don't care what you'll say in the future!"

The little maid in waiting, who used to play very well with the prince on weekdays, was stunned and cried before she fought. She looked at the prince sadly, thinking that the prince would be soft hearted. But she waited a while to find that the prince's eyes were still cold.

So she raised her hand and began to smoke her mouth.

The emperor sitting by the window saw this scene and smiled again.

……

……

Luo Weiran stood with a bow and didn't look up. He hasn't seen the emperor for a month, and has long been used to this cold reception. The emperor said he trusted him a while ago, but Luo Weiran knew that it was just a means for the emperor to comfort people. In front of the world's supreme, I don't trust anyone in my bones. Since the founding of the great Sui Dynasty for more than 100 years, the emperor in front of him was the first person who did not trust the old Dean Wan Xingchen.

"I remember telling you that in the future, just come in directly."

The emperor said faintly, "you don't have to wait outside."

Luo Weiran bowed his head and said, "Duke Su said that your majesty is a little tired these two days, so I dare not disturb you."

The emperor said, "what's up?"

"Your Majesty, imperial prisoner Yang Yin asked to see your majesty again."

The emperor frowned slightly and said as if he didn't care: "he has a long life. Didn't the prison control his mouth... What do you want to see me about?"

"I don't know. He just asks me to tell him that he wants to see his majesty every day."

"So your heart is soft?"

The emperor looked at Luo Weiran. Although his tone was plain, the meaning in the words made people shudder.

"I dare not, I just dare not delay. Yang Yin is a serious crime, and I can't neglect my duty."

"I see."

The emperor waved his hand impatiently: "if you have nothing else, just step back and tell Yang Yin to let him live well in the prison. It's time to eat, eat and sleep. Don't die before I want to kill him. I'll see him sooner or later. Now is not the time."

"I obey your orders"

Luo Weiran smiled bitterly and bowed back.

"Wait..."

When he came to the door, the emperor suddenly changed his mind: "bring it to Changchun Garden. I want to hear what he has to say to me and what face to see me!"

Luo Weiran answered and withdrew from the dome.

When he went out, he saw the little eunuch Mu San wink at himself and slide out a small paper ball from his sleeve. When Luo Weiran passed him, he walked over and stepped on his feet, pretended to tidy up his boots, picked up the paper ball and held it in the palm of his hand. He didn't dare to look at what was written on the paper ball in Changchun Garden. He didn't open the paper ball until he got on the carriage. After only one look, his face suddenly turned white.

"No wonder... No wonder!"

He murmured.

There were pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the carriage. He thought for a while, picked up his pen, wrote a short message and talked about more than a dozen words, but each word was particularly heavy. After writing, he put the letter in a small iron box and sealed it with fire paint. On the way, he stopped the carriage, walked into a restaurant at will and bought a pot of old wine and a kilo of cooked beef.

Half an hour later, the iron box containing the secret letter came into the hands of Sanjin Hou Wu.

Wu Yi picked up the fire paint, opened the letter and looked at it. His face also changed greatly. This deep man, who is always calm, has an indescribable worry and fear in his eyes. I don't know what it is. It can frighten the commander of the bodyguard and the boss of the goods all over the world.

Wu Yidao was silent for a moment, sealed the letter again, and then called a confidant.

"You can send it to Huang Yang Dao in person as quickly as possible, find the solution and hand it to him personally. This thing is too important. You can die, but it can't fall into other people's hands. If necessary, destroy it. If you die, I will treat your family well."

The confidant hugged his fist: "Lord, don't worry, my subordinates know what to do!"

He stuffed the iron box into his arms, put it close to his heart, and then turned out.

After the confidant left, Wu Yidao seemed to be evacuated for a moment. He leaned back on the chair decadent, and his face was still ugly.

After such silence for a long time, he spit out a mouthful of turbid Qi from his mouth.

"The great Sui Dynasty... Ups and downs..."

He stood up, went to the window and looked at the sky outside, stunned.

A big secret was like a huge stone weighing ten thousand kilograms on his heart, which blocked his breath and made it difficult for him to breathe.
