The general of Shule State led everyone back to the place where they stayed. The faces of everyone showed anger. Because they did not expect that they would be blocked from the door when they went to visit the Imperial Prefect's Mansion.
The great general of Shule Kingdom said: "Everyone, under this situation, there is nothing we can do. Even the imperial advisor of the Sui Dynasty wanted to deliberately ignore us, but now, we can only endure it."
When the others heard this, they all spoke in agreement.
Now that the Sui Dynasty was powerful, they could not afford to offend him.
It was precisely because of the great power of the Sui Dynasty that they came to the Sui Dynasty now, hoping to reduce taxes. Moreover, they also hoped to take this opportunity to test the attitude of the Sui Dynasty.
This is the view of each country.
The envoy of Qiuci State said: "Previously we went to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion with the intention of meeting the Great Sui Imperial Preceptor, but ultimately failed. Although we can't see the emperor now, I thought about it, can we go to the emperor through the rest of the people?"
The great general of Shule State asked: "Who are you going to see?"
The envoy of Qiuci State said: "According to the information we have found, there are mainly two people who can influence the emperor. One is the patron king Yang Lin, who is the pillar of the Sui Dynasty and a relative of the Sui Dynasty. He has high prestige.
, has great influence. The other one is Yuwenshu. This person is Yang Guang’s most respected minister. So my suggestion is that we go to see Yang Lin first. If Yang Lin is unwilling, we can go to see Yuwenshu.
.In short, you can always find opportunities.”
"Indeed!"
When the general of Shule State heard this, he nodded and said: "Just waiting is not an option. Let's go and find out. If we can open up a channel to see the emperor, as long as we can see the emperor, then what we plan will be fine."
Done."
The envoy from Kucha Kingdom also nodded.
The rest of the people also agreed.
Everyone agrees.
Because under the current situation, if they don't find a way out, they can only leave it to the disposal of the Imperial Preceptor's Office. If there is really no other way, it is not too late to go to the Imperial Preceptor's Office.
The general of Shule Kingdom said: "To go to the mansion of the patron king Yang Lin, you need a person who is eloquent. Only such a person can succeed. It would be impossible for others to succeed.
Moreover, this matter cannot be done in a big way, otherwise it will be known to the Imperial Prefecture and it will be detrimental to us."
"I am willing to go."
At this time, the envoy of Kucha State stood up and spoke.
The envoy of Qiuci State said: "I am afraid that I can only go as an envoy. Because I am familiar with the official dialect of the Sui Dynasty, it is most suitable for me to go. However, if I go to visit, it will cost a lot of money to ask Yang Lin to help me.
Money opens the way.”
The general of Shule State said: "Money is not a problem, so it will be your fault."
The others all agreed.
Everyone unanimously agreed to follow Yang Lin's path. Because under the current situation, they were being made things difficult by the Imperial Prefect's Office. If they did not meet the emperor, their plan might fail.
What if Wang Can wants to deal with them?
So, you have to be prepared.
After the envoy from Qiuci State tidied up, he left his residence, took a box of precious jades, and went straight to the mansion of his patron king Yang Lin. In these years, Yang Lin lived in seclusion in Luoyang, mainly to recuperate.
Practice martial arts diligently.
The palace of the patron king.
In the backyard, in the school grounds.
Even though Yang Lin is getting older, Yang Lin is now walking as fast as flying and in excellent health. He does not look old at all. In fact, Yang Lin's energy has reached its peak.
After these years of training, especially when he followed Wang Can and even asked Wang Can for advice from time to time, his martial arts had reached the innate cutoff and reached the innate peak, and his strength was extremely strong.
One-handed stick technique, superb.
Especially in today's Sui Dynasty, the national power is getting stronger and stronger.
Yang Lin was extremely happy about this. Because the Sui Dynasty he guarded was now expanding its territory, Yang Lin admired Wang Can even more. He not only admired Wang Can's strength, but also admired Wang Can's broadmindedness.
After Yang Lin finished practicing a set of stick skills, an attendant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a man coming from outside the palace, claiming to be an envoy from the Kingdom of Qiuci. He wants to pay homage to your Majesty."
Yang Lin said: "Bring it in!"
"yes!"
The attendant immediately went to deliver the order.
Yang Lin put away his long stick, put on his robe, and went straight to the study. For him, even though the weather was quite cold now, Yang Lin's body and bones were in excellent shape. He was in good health now and could be said to be immune to the cold and heat.
When he arrived in the study, he saw the envoy from Kucha who was already waiting.
Yang Lin sat down casually and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, why are you here?"
The envoy of Qiuci Kingdom said: "I came down here hoping that His Highness the King of the Mountains can introduce His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty to us. We entered the palace hand in hand and failed to meet His Majesty the Emperor. What do you mean, we have to go to the Imperial Prefecture now. However, the Imperial Palace
The master's office ignored us at all. The patron king is the pillar of the Sui Dynasty. I hope that his highness, the patron king, can help us."
After a pause, the envoy of the Qiuci Kingdom said: "Of course, after His Highness the King of Patrons helps us, we will be richly rewarded by the countries in the Western Regions."
"no!"
After Yang Lin heard this, he decisively refused.
He would not go behind Wang Can's back and take people to see the emperor privately. This was taboo. What's more, the emperor now valued Wang Can very much, so Yang Lin had no need to do this.
Yang Lin's eyes were sharp and he said: "I don't care about your generous rewards. Go back to where you came from."
The envoy from Qiuci Kingdom suddenly turned pale.
There was an embarrassed look on his face.
Because he didn't expect that Yang Lin's rejection would be so straightforward, not even giving him the slightest chance.
The envoy of the Qiuci Kingdom had sharp eyes. He raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "If the patron king really forces our countries in the Western Regions, it will not be of any benefit to the Sui Dynasty. Once our countries unite, when the time comes,
There will never be peace on the border of the Sui Dynasty. This is unbearable for the Sui Dynasty."
Yang Lin said disdainfully: "If you want to fight, Da Sui will accompany you to the end."
After a pause, Yang Lin said: "Now the Goguryeo and Japanese countries in the east of the Sui Dynasty have all surrendered. As for the Turks in the north, they do not dare to go south. I, the king, have long wanted to destroy you people from various countries in the Western Regions. You
If we want to start a war, I will not ask for it."
The Qiuci envoy's face froze.
He didn't expect that Yang Lin would be so tough, leaving no room for relaxation.
He even wanted to fight.
This is the main militant faction.
After the envoy of Qiuci State understood this, he knew that it would be impossible to break through Yang Lin. So he stood up, bowed symbolically, and left with the gift box he had prepared.
Yang Lin looked at the leaving figure of the envoy from the Kingdom of Kucha with a sneer on his lips. Immediately, he arranged for his attendants to go directly to the Imperial Preceptor's Office to convey the news and tell the Imperial Prefecture about the envoy from the Kucha Kingdom who had come to pay a visit.
After the envoy from Qiuci Kingdom left, he went to Yuwen's house.
Today's Yuwenshu is quite old.
Although he is now in a high position, in fact, the power in Yuwenshu's hands is much less. After all, the main power has been transferred to the Imperial Prefect's Office, and Yuwenshu even has to go to the Imperial Prefect's Office from time to time to report news.
After all, all power decisions rest with the Imperial Preceptor's Office.
Yuwenshu's hair was as white as snow. He was sitting in the study, reading a book. Yuwenshu studied and liked reading history books, because he could learn from a lot of experiences by learning from history.
However, Yu Wenshu really couldn't understand the current situation of the country.
Wang Can has the strength to usurp the throne, but he does not usurp the throne.
As the emperor, Yang Guang actually trusted Wang Can 100% and allowed Wang Can to preside over government affairs.
Such a combination is extremely rare.
Because monarchy and ministerial power have always been incoordinated and difficult to coexist with each other. But now, they coexist without affecting the operation of the government at all.
"Boom! Boom!"
A knock sounded from outside the door.
With a creak, the butler entered, bowed and said: "Sir, there is a man who claims to be the envoy of the Kingdom of Kucha. He asks to see him, saying he has something important to discuss."
"please!"
Yu Wenshu gave an order.
His mind was spinning, thinking about the intention of the envoy from Kucha State.
He does not have much power now. Although Yuwenshu can see the emperor, the emperor is now devoted to practicing mysticism and his main thoughts are on Taoism. Therefore, even if Yuwenshu can see Yang Guang, he rarely enters the palace.
The steward went to deliver the order. Not long after, the envoy of the Kucha Kingdom entered the study and saw Yu Wenshu. He bowed and said, "On behalf of the envoy of the Kucha Kingdom, I would like to pay a special visit to General Yuwen."
Yu Wen said: "Why do you come to see me?"
The envoy of Qiuci Kingdom did not hide anything and said straight to the point: "I want General Yuwen to know that in the country of the Sui Dynasty, the Imperial Preceptor's Office covers the sky with one hand. We want to see the emperor, but we can't see him. In fact, we went to the Imperial Preceptor's Office to see him,
The Imperial Preceptor's Office also avoided seeing him. This Imperial Preceptor of the Sui Dynasty was really too arrogant."
"I came here today in the hope that you can recommend the emperor to us."
"Take us into the palace."
The envoy of the Qiuci Kingdom looked determined and said with certainty: "As long as we meet the emperor, the emperor will give us the recognition of the countries in the Western Regions and agree to the requests of the countries in the Western Regions. As long as this matter is done,
Then, all the countries in our Western Region will express their gratitude."
While speaking, Qiuci handed over the box, and then opened the box on Yuwenshu's desk. The light of the elite shone brightly from the box, making people unable to put it down.
Yu Wenshu loved money, but he cherished his life even more.
You Yuwenshu once followed Wang Can to conquer Goguryeo and knew Wang Can's strength. You Yuwenshu once had a grudge with Wang Can. With the help of Yuwen Chengdu's relationship, the past grudge was wiped out.
He finally maintained a relationship with Wang Can.
Now, he is unwilling to offend Wang Can.
You must know that Yang You, a tyrannical man, was so favored by the emperor that the emperor even planned to appoint Yang You as the grandson of the emperor and let Yang You inherit the throne. However, because Yang You was disrespectful to Wang Can, he was eventually dismissed.
He was demoted to a commoner and then lived quietly in the palace.
Yu Wenshu himself was unwilling to provoke Wang Can.
It is better to provoke the King of Hell than to provoke Wang Can.
