Chapter 109 You are the one

Yang Kai is a smart person, very smart and smart person.

When he saw Mou Liangbi and Zong Lianghu waiting outside the door, he knew that these two people were probably going to be in operation. Although he ignored the government affairs, it did not mean that he knew nothing. Yu Donglai was first demoted to Minister of the Secretariat, and then he had to submit a resignation letter himself. One of the Minister of War and Minister of the Ministry of War could still hold on, but both were empty and obviously unreasonable.

After the former Minister of War, Hou Junci, was beheaded, Yu Donglai struggled to support himself. Now he has also fallen. His Majesty cannot leave the Ministry of War empty and no one to take care of it.

At this critical moment, the two good ministers appeared in Changchun Garden, and His Majesty’s intention was actually self-evident.

Two good ministers.

This title has a long history.

To plan Liangbi, to follow Lianghu.

The two of them were thrown into the Heavenly Prison eleven and a half years ago and were punished for their crimes. However, because His Majesty was pitying his talents, they were just locked up and not executed. You should know that those who were far less guilty than the two of them were chopped off their heads. It was already a great blessing for them to die.

Their sin is that they all assisted the third prince Yang Ji at the beginning.

When the sons fought for the throne, the third prince Yang Ji had the highest call. Even when the late emperor was dying, he did have the idea of ​​making him the crown prince. However, at the last moment, the fourth prince Yang Yi, the current emperor, suddenly attacked. With the help of the seventh prince Yang Qi, he led his army straight into Chang'an City, and entered the Tai Chi Palace with armor and swords. Before his death, the late emperor pointed at him and made a last order.

After the fourth prince Yang Yi ascended the throne, he seemed gentle, but quietly over the years, he had almost killed all the third prince and the eldest prince under him. This is the method of the emperor today. He has killed so many people, but people still stubbornly believe that he is the gentlest emperor since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty. It is difficult to do this as if he ascended the sky, but His Majesty is at ease.

At the beginning, the reason why the third prince Yang Ji was most hopeful to become the ruler of the Sui Dynasty was because of the guidance of two wise men behind him. These two people were planning Liangbi and Zong Lianghu. The third prince was good at friendship and many righteous acts, and many officials in the court leaned towards him. The methods were all planned by these two people.

It's a pity that the effort failed.

Back then, the third prince was smart and asked the fourth prince Yang Yi to lead troops out of the city to intercept the eldest prince who returned to Chang'an from Dongjiang. Mou Liangbi and Zong Lianghu tried hard to persuade him, but the third prince stubbornly believed that the fourth prince was on the same mind as him and would never betray him. He even told Mou Liangbi that if you say bad things about the fourth brother again, I will drag you out and peel it alive.

This is a serious statement, so that Yao Liangbi lamented that the big thing was gone.

However, this can also show how deep the scheming of His Majesty is today. It can actually make the ambitious third prince not be wary of him at all, and even think that he is his most confidant person. His status is still above the two good ministers, which shows how deep the third prince was deceived by His Majesty at that time.

Mou Liangbi and Zong Lianghu could not persuade the third prince Yang Ji to get rid of the fourth prince, but they still thought of a way to make up for it. They also made a statement, asking the third prince to get rid of the seventh prince Yang Qi, who had the best relationship with the fourth prince Yang Yi. Yang Ji thought about it for a long time but still refused them. Yang Ji's reason was that if Yang Qi was eliminated, he would inevitably force the originally loyal fourth prince Yang Yi to rebel. Doing this is not worth the loss and is of no benefit.

Later, when the Seventh Prince Yang Qi brought hundreds of slaves to guard a city gate, Zong Lianghu also led his troops to kill him, trying to kill all the people guarding the gate. Unfortunately, he did not expect that the Seventh Prince Yang Qi was such a hidden person. He is one of the few people who are still alive to see Yang Qi take action. The domineering aura in the battle back then still made him unable to let go.

Thousands of elite soldiers besieged hundreds of family slaves but could not defeat them!

In that battle, the man showed his power and guarded the city gate alone. No one could get close to the gate. Yang Qi did not retreat in the bloody battle, and the fourth prince Yang Yi led his troops back in time. In the pool of blood, Yang Yi ordered the slaughter of the imperial soldiers besieging the city gate, and thousands of heads were cut down, just because they injured the seventh prince.

On the day of Your Majesty's ascension, he issued an order to execute Mu Liangbi and Zong Lianghu Lingchi. It was Prince Zhong Yang Qi who persuaded him again. Only then did Your Majesty change his mind and imprison the two of them in the Heavenly Prison. This hurdle lasted for eleven and a half years. When he came out again, he could even describe these two people as unrecognizable.

These two people were famous romantic figures back then.

At that time, there were the Ten Young Masters of Jinyi in Chang'an City, which was the most talented and elegant and handsome children of the brothels. Mou Liangbi and Zong Lianghu were among them. There were even rumors that they went to brothels to have fun, and many brothel beauties would not charge money, and even gave their own savings. They were also the most special people among the Ten Young Masters of Jinyi. Mou Liangbi was better, after all, the Ming family was still poor and famous in the southwest area. Zong Lianghu's family had long declined. Although they had a false position as the right servant, they could always rely on relatives and friends to support themselves.

After meeting Mou Liangbi, Zong Lianghu's life was a little easier.

The two of them joined the third prince's disciples, which was also the most glorious time in their lives. Rumors said that when they heard that Prince Zong finally made a name for himself, many brothel beauties actually cried with joy, saying that they knew the beads with keen eyes, and that the intention of giving the gold was not wasted.

Zong Lianghu's popularity in brothels is evident.

...

...

Emperor Yang Yi looked at Erliangchen, who was sitting on the stool opposite, and pointed to the tea on the table and said, "Don't you drink it?"

This question was a bit abrupt, and even Yang Kai, the Prince Xu who was sitting next to the emperor, couldn't help but be stunned. In an instant, Yang Kai's heart suddenly became tight. His Majesty the Emperor asked the two good ministers whether to drink or not. It seemed simple, but in fact it was not as simple as drinking tea. If the two people couldn't understand the hidden things, they were afraid that things would be ruined.

But he had no friendship with these two people, and in front of His Majesty, he couldn't wink at the reminder, so he could only lower his head and pretend to taste his own tea.

After asking whether to drink or not, the emperor looked at Mou Liangbi and Zong Lianghu waiting for their answers.

After a little silence, Mou Liangbi glanced at Zong Lianghu, who first sighed slightly, then nodded.

"drink!"

The two of them picked up the teacup, ignored the tea and drank it slightly. Drinking tea was like drinking alcohol, and it was all over. Because of the rapid drinking, the tea dripped on their gray cloth prison clothes wet. Because of this, the two of them looked even more depressed.

The young master of Jinyi back then, counting that Mou Liangbi is only 38 or 9 years old now, Zong Lianghu is only 35 years old, but they look almost fifty or sixty years old no matter how they look. The messy hair, worn clothes, and the long beard is already on the chest. The dark mud in the gaps in the fingernails makes people disgusting.

The traces of time on their faces were too heavy. People who were less than forty years old were already full of wrinkles.

They thought they had a very hard life in prison for eleven and a half years. The third prince was dead, they had no backers, and no relatives in the prison to help him send some money to manage the prison guards. It was actually not easy to survive until now. If it weren't for the lack of people in the Ministry of War, Your Majesty might not have remembered them. And if he died in the prison without understanding before this, I'm afraid that Your Majesty would be too lazy to blame anyone.

The two of them drank the hot tea in the cup in one go, then stood up and bent down to salute the emperor.

Refusing to sit again.

Emperor Yang Yi picked up the corners of his mouth slightly, and suddenly he pointed to the plate with snacks on the table and asked, "Don't you eat?"

I asked first if I didn’t drink it? I asked again if I didn’t eat it?

Since I have already drunk it, how could I not eat it?

"eat!"

The two nodded at the same time, and then grabbed the snacks from the plate with their dirty and black hands and stuffed them into their mouths.

"Eat it?"

The emperor asked the third question.

The two nodded again, eating faster and faster.

There were four plates of snacks on the table, which were enough to fill two burly men. The snacks were dry and it was easy to choke when swallowed with big mouthfuls. But these two people were like hungry wolves, and they almost didn't take long to stuff the snacks into their stomachs. Mou Liangbi bulged his cheeks and looked at His Majesty, burping them one after another. Zong Lianghu kept stroking his chest with his hands, as if he was really choking.

Yang Kai couldn't help laughing. He looked at it secretly, and His Majesty was also laughing.

These two rebellious guys have been in prison for eleven and a half years and finally have become smart and have seen through things. They know that now, they have no other way out except to obey the emperor's instructions.

"Are you full?"

The emperor asked again.

"I'm full."

The two of them lowered their heads and answered.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Su Buwei, take them down to take a shower and change into clean clothes before coming. I am afraid that the smell in my room will not be dissipated in three days."

"Here"

Su Buwei responded quickly and smiled and led two soft-swept people out of the study. When Mou Liangbi walked out of the room, he took a deep breath, opened his arms and stretched his body hard. Zong Lianghu glanced at him, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, his turbid eyes filled with tears.

“The smell in this garden is so good!”

Mou Liangbi said.

“It’s good outside”

Zong Lianghu said.

...

...

"How did your Majesty know that these two people will definitely be obedient?"

Prince Xu, Yang Kai, asked the emperor with admiration.

The emperor smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here, so you still call me the fourth brother... The reason why I know that they will be obedient, instead of never begging for mercy like eleven years ago is actually simple... because they have been in prison for eleven and a half years and have not died."

Yang Kai was stunned for a moment, and then he understood carefully before he understood what the emperor said.

"yes……"

He sighed: "It is not easy for them to survive in prison as their two sinners. I believe they both have much effort. They can survive in their status and sins, but people with great perseverance and wisdom cannot do it."

"They don't have great wisdom, but they are barely enough."

The emperor smiled and said, "Since they are greedy for life, how dare they not listen to me? If they were not afraid of death, they had already died in eleven and a half years of prison. But their life means that they still have begging and expectation for living."

The emperor stood up, stretched his body and said, "It's okay to leave the affairs of the Ministry of War to them, but I'm not here to chat. I know that you have been lazy and have been lazy over the years, so you can't get that thought if you ask you to help me... But from now on, you really have to mention your thoughts. Although I can't let you handle the affairs of the Ministry of War, there is something more difficult than the affairs of the Ministry of War. I want to hand it over to you."

"I listen to your Majesty's orders."

Yang Kai quickly stood up and said with his head down.

"I have secretly transferred the grain from seven granaries north of the river, millions of stones. I have transferred the weapons and armor from the three palaces of Jinyang Palace, Bening Palace and Shuntian Palace, which are enough to 500,000 people to be equipped and all transported to the northwest. In addition, I have secretly transferred 400,000 troops from the northeast, eastern border, and southwest to the northwest. Most officials in the court are not aware of this matter. When it is time to say it, I will mention it in the court... Now, I need one person to rush to the northwest to take charge of the overall situation."

He looked at Yang Kai and said, "You are the ones who are such an important task."

Yang Kai was shocked suddenly and his eyes widened in an instant.

"Your Majesty...is you really going to use troops to the Northwest?"

The emperor nodded and said confidently: "Emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty have to expand their territory. The country is in my hands. How can I only guard the things left by my ancestors without making progress? Not only do I also want to push the boundaries of our Great Sui Dynasty, but I also want to push them westward! I want to let the late emperor see, and the Great Sui Dynasty is in my hands... He did not choose the wrong person."

Yang Kai couldn't calm down and subconsciously wanted to persuade the emperor not to easily attack Meng Yuan, but when he saw the different spirit in His Majesty's eyes, he swallowed the words to his mouth.

"I have selected a few young talents for you as helpers. When I look back, I will issue an order to transfer them to the northwest first. When you arrive, they will naturally help you."

The emperor walked to Yang Kai, patted his shoulder and said, "Old Twelve, don't let me down!"
