Chapter 268 Your Majesty, the minister asked Yang Langzhong to come
Chapter 268
Yu Shiji, who was next to Yang Guang, couldn't help but reveal a faint smile, but quickly turned it away, as if he was watching the show with his hands down.
Yang Qian could say nothing, he could only bow down with a look of regret on his face.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty."
Yang Guang couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Yang Qian like this.
"Haha... do you want to say that thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness?"
"Your Majesty..." Yang Qian's mind suddenly became confused. Your Majesty, is it okay for you to tease me like this? How should you, my minister, respond to this?
"As expected, I was stumped, haha... Okay, Xiao Yang, let's talk about the family." Yang Guang then proudly said to Yu Shiji beside him.
"Your Majesty has great authority over the world. No matter how talented Principal Yang is, he is still your Majesty's minister."
"Yu Guanglu's words are also polite. I really shouldn't act so wantonly."
"Okay, the weather is nice today. It's very annoying to stay in Ziwei Palace. It's time to go out and walk around for a while."
"I wonder where your Majesty wants to go for fun?"
Yu Shiji thought about it and glanced at Yang Qian.
He remembered well that the last time Yang Qian, a young gentleman, accompanied His Majesty to Xianren Palace, he was born.
If I had been there that time... well, maybe I would have become the first doctor in the Sui Dynasty, Jin Ziguanglu, who was killed by the rebels in Xianren Palace.
"A few days ago, the Duke of Tang Dynasty presented more than a dozen fine horses, each of which is extremely rare.
I have been busy with official duties these days, and I have nothing to do today, so I just went to take a look."
Yang Qian couldn't help but was stunned. His future father-in-law, Li Yuan, was a horse-mad man, and he actually gave Yang Guang dozens of horses that were thousands of miles away. What was wrong?
With such doubts in mind, Yang Qian followed Yang Guang's footsteps and headed towards the outside of the palace.
#####
Yang Qian was riding his horse among the emperor's guards. As soon as he left Ziwei City, he saw Yu Shiji calmly controlling the horse and coming to his side.
Naturally, Yang Qian did not dare to offend Yu, the only person who could rival Yu Wenshu in terms of popularity around Yang Guang.
"I have met Yu Guanglu."
Yu Shiji waved his sleeves slightly, signaling Yang Qian not to be too polite. His voice was gentle and melodious, and his words had a slight Jiangnan accent.
"Last time we went on a safari in Xianren Palace, thanks to you, a talented person like you, Colonel Yang, who is both civil and military."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid you and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to see each other like we do today."
Yang Qian shook his head and said humbly. "Yu Guanglu was joking. Even if you don't get demoted, your Majesty, blessed by the power of God, will definitely be able to turn danger into safety."
Yu Shiji stroked his long beard and smiled noncommittally. "College Yang is too modest."
"I just want to say thank you."
After saying this, Yu Shiji did not stay at Yang Qian's side anymore, as if the two of them were riding horses together just now, just by accident.
"..." Yang Qian couldn't help but be a little confused. This favorite minister of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, the dignified Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, does it need to thank him?
It's a pity that Yang Qian didn't think it through and didn't want to get entangled in this matter at this time.
Being able to make good friends with Yang Guang's close associates is at least not a bad thing for him.
At this moment, the team that was moving forward at a slow and even speed suddenly stagnated. In a short time, a forbidden army was seen rushing in front of Yang Guangyu.
"Your Majesty, in front of us is the Duke of Chu's chariot. The road here is narrow and it is difficult for the Duke of Chu's chariot to move. It is retreating."
"Yang Xuangan? What is he doing here? You are ordering him to come." Yang Guang's face sank slightly.
In a short time, Yang Xuangan, led by the imperial army, arrived in front of the emperor. "I see your majesty."
"You don't have to be like this, sir, please get up quickly..." Yang Guang slowly got out of the car, walked over and helped him up personally.
Yang Xuangan did not stand up, but saluted again.
"I went to the Ministry of Industry today to inspect the cast armor. I don't want to alarm the Holy Master. I am guilty..."
"Okay, you are working hard for official duties, how can I blame you?"
Yang Guang smiled casually and stretched out his hand again, and then Yang Xuangan stood up.
After the two chatted and laughed for a few more words, the monarch and his ministers walked forward slowly, while the chariot driver and the imperial army stayed where they were.
At this time, the familiar eunuch waved to Yang Qian covertly. Naturally, he had to dismount his horse and follow quickly.
Yang Guang was still surrounded by more than ten bodyguards headed by Qianniu Bodyguards.
Yu Shiji, the Jin Ziguanglu doctor, had already come a few steps forward, walking with Yang Xuangan behind and to the left of Yang Guang.
After walking about a hundred paces, they saw the gate of a camp guarded by the Forbidden Army. The sound of jingling bells could be heard faintly inside the camp.
After all, he was the son of a senior cadre of the Ministry of Industry. Yang Qian looked at him a few times and added the purpose of Yang Xuangan's trip.
Needless to say, this must be one of the craftsmanship camps of the Ministry of Industry in Dongdu.
After entering the craftsman's camp, I saw the endless stretch of thatched huts dozens of feet away from a distance.
In the hay shed, there are either fires soaring into the sky, water vapor rising, or sledgehammers dancing wildly, sparks flying...
Faintly, one could hear Yang Xuangan's words in front of him.
This means that nowadays, the supply gap of armor in the Sui Dynasty is very large. If we continue at this rate, I am afraid that by the time of the northern expedition to Goguryeo, there will be a lot of shortage of armor.
So he came here specifically to inspect today to find out what the cause was.
#####
The officials of the Craftsman Camp presented the account books and reported the number of armors produced in the past few months with great trembling. Listening to the numbers.
Yang Guang's face gradually darkened. "What's the point? Production has not increased, but has been decreasing."
"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are incompetent, but that in the middle of the year, Yuwen Shangshu transferred five hundred craftsmen, and at the beginning of last month, another thousand craftsmen were transferred."
"The number of craftsmen has dropped sharply. Although we have asked for help from many sources, the various weapon camps are also short of manpower..."
"Yu Wenqing's family?" Yang Guang stroked his thick beard and was slightly startled. Yu Shiji, who was standing beside Yang Guang, patted his forehead and remembered.
Yu Wenkai, the Minister of Industry in the Sui Dynasty, is currently in Jiangnan, supervising the construction of Yang Palace and Jiangdu Palace.
Some time ago, the Emperor was indeed informed, and many craftsmen were transferred from Dongdu.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Yang Ning, the doctor of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, is outside the craftsman's camp at the moment."
At this time, a forbidden soldier walked quickly and reported to Yang Guang with a salute.
Yang Guang raised his brows and couldn't help but glance at the confused Yang Qian subconsciously, then turned to look at Yang Xuangan.
"Your Majesty, I asked Yang Langzhong to come here. He is the chief officer of the Ministry of Industry and Works Department.
He is the one who knows best about supervising the armor of the craftsmanship camp, so when I inspect the craftsmanship camps today, it is natural that he, the chief officer of the Ministry of Industry, is indispensable."
"In that case, let him come over." Yang Guang nodded slightly, shook the account book in his hand, and threw it aside.
That impatient expression made Yang Qian's heart tremble...
