Prison Dragon

Chapter 132

The winter snow finally stopped for some time.

Yang Youtian was called up to go to court before dawn.

The dragon chairs in the Xuanzheng Hall were empty, and after he and the other officials had dealt with the government affairs, they went to the Penglai Hall to guard Yang Ting.

Yang Ting was still in a coma, leaving transparent saliva at the corner of his mouth from time to time.

Concubine Wu Hui sat by the bed and wiped Yang Ting's body with a handkerchief dipped in warm water.

"I don't know when His Majesty will wake up?" Her tone was slightly sad, but not very strong.

Yang You looked at Yang Ting's dejected expression day after day, and his heart sank a little more.

Concubine Wu Hui wanted to wipe Yang Ting's body, Yang You bowed his head and stepped back, walking outside.

Yang Xiu sat outside, brewed a pot of tea, motioned Yang You to sit down, poured tea for him slowly: "His Royal Highness, please."

Yang You took it with both hands, sipped it slowly, lowered his head and said, "Last time I reminded you that there might be third brother in the investigation, have you checked it out?"

"It's all been dealt with. They are smart. Knowing that I am stuck with your news, they let people bypass me and report directly to the emperor. Don't worry, this kind of thing will not happen in the future." Yang Xiu drank tea Said: "The border inspection horse sent a message, and I have seen changes in several Turkic tribes. They are gradually moving towards the south. They may be going south."

Yang You said with a wry smile, "If the fourth brother is really still here, you really don't have to worry about the Northwest issue."

Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows, "Do you really think he can deal with Turks all the time?"

Yang You froze, "What do you mean by that?"

Yang Xiu hooked his fingers, motioning for him to come closer and speak.

Yang Xiudao: "Your Majesty wants soldiers in the northwest, and His Majesty can't afford them. If you want money, His Majesty can't afford them. Let Yang Shi prepare them by himself. Although he doesn't have the name of Jiedu Envoy, he seems to be a Jiedu Envoy. He is even better than Jiedu Envoy." The power of the envoy is still great. In order to encourage the soldiers to fight, in the first few years, he directly promised that all the land that was struck would be owned by the soldiers, and many fields in the northwest were not reported to the court. The soldiers did not do production, and the fields were connected. Many people The land was taken away by the Turkic people, and now the ones that are fighting back are not my own, so I am naturally dissatisfied with him."

Yang You nodded, "I've heard about this for a long time. This is also one of the reasons why the new court officials were able to handle the government affairs in the Northwest quickly after they took office, because the people supported the court to re-measure the land and divide the land equally."

Yang Xiu continued: "Turks are good at riding, and it is very difficult to fight on the grassland. Ten years ago, Yang Shi formulated a special combat plan in order to lure the enemy into deep. That is, when the Turks go south every year, they will burn the Turks along the way. Water plants, villages, took all the food, forced the Turks to either return without success, or continue to go deep into the trap to plunder the supplies. This happens every year, and I don’t know if the people were robbed by the Turks or burned by Yang Shi.”

Yang You sighed, "I don't know about this."

"Of course you don't know." Yang Xiu smiled sarcastically, "There is no way for Qianshou to write books, and Yang Shi can only report his military exploits. All you hear are legends about his heroic battles. If I hadn't been in charge of inspecting affairs, I wouldn't have known about it." matter."

Yang You dipped in the tea and wrote the word "bing" on the table.

"Lao Tzu Zeng Yun, a good soldier, an ominous weapon, and an evil thing." Yang You looked at the far north through the characters, "I hope that the world will never die again in the future." Go to war."

Yang Xiu's white and thin palm erased the word Bing, "The only thing that can stop a war is another war. Stop the war with the war, and when to stop the war."

Yang You drew the border of Qi State on the brown tabletop with his fingers, and he pointed heavily at the northwest with two fingers, "Then trade a war for suspension, even if it is ten or twenty years, it is worth it. I need time .Resisting the Turks this winter is only the first step."

"You want to learn Han Wu?" Yang Xiu understood what he meant.

Yang You thought for a while, nodded first, then shook his head, "If you fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. The current state of Qi cannot afford to use a lot of troops. The current plan is to wait for the people to cultivate first, and then we can plan for a big war."

Yang Xiu relaxed and leaned back on the chair, looked at Yang You and smiled foolishly: "Don't say it, I think it's worth doing things with you, even if it's dirty. I'll let my subordinates keep an eye on Turks. "

Yang You hesitated to speak, and said first, "There is Mohe in the northeast, although Di Fei is still there, but..."

If there is a conflict with the third prince, Di Fei will definitely suffer.

Not to mention that he would not show his loyalty to Yang You, even if he showed his loyalty, Yang You would not dare to use it.

The Di family has spanned several generations in the Northeast, so it can no longer be left alone.

Yang Xiu nodded clearly.

Yang You looked at his face, and finally said: "Sixth brother, I want to put the investigation in the right place, and you don't have to do those dirty things again in the future."

"You want to get rid of the inspector? Do you know how much effort I have put into the inspector?" Yang Xiu was a little unbelievable, "As long as the inspector is in your hands, you can even know every move in the capital, and you can kill it without any reason." your political enemies."

"I don't need it." Yang You said categorically, "Inspectors can investigate border situations and catch spies from enemy countries, but they can't arrest people privately without orders from the commander, abuse lynching, and can't be used as a tool to intimidate officials and people. There is no future for an emperor who needs lynchings and threats of investigation and reporting to establish order and dignity, and finally sees only his subjects in constant panic."

"You're crazy." Yang Xiu laughed.

"You don't want to live such a life, do you? The courtiers are obsequious in front of you, but they hate you deeply behind their backs. Even if they walk on the street, they will be pointed out in their hearts. People, they can stand upright in the sun." Yang You asked softly.

Yang Xiu took a deep look at him, turned his head away and blinked at last, clenched his fingers and said, "You are so kind, you are so kind and hateful."

"I've been thinking since the time Nai'er died, is everyone going to live their lives in a way of conspiracies? Is there any other way to go in this world besides fighting each other?"

Yang You stood up, opened the window, and the north wind blew into the house. Yang Xiu squinted his eyes, covered his face with his sleeve, and sneezed.

It was the first snowfall, the sun set, and it was even more dazzling under the reflection of the snow. Yang You's back against the light also pierced Yang Xiu's eyes.

"I've been thinking about this question for ten years. I've found my answer." Yang You's gentle voice revealed firmness and confidence, "I will lead Qi Guo to find this answer together."

"Madman." Yang Xiu confirmed again and again, "You are a lunatic. People who have lived in the dark for a long time cannot go to the light at all."

Yang You came over and took his hand, and pulled him to the window, outside the window was snow that had accumulated all winter.

Yang You's hands were very warm, and his profile was handsome and gentle, "Everyone is born in the light, and so are you."

Yang Xiu's Adam's apple trembled, and he shook his hands away with a sneer, "You don't have the ability to build a bright world and wash away all the darkness."

"That's true." Yang You closed the window and rubbed his hands, "But my belief will be passed on. As long as someone is still working hard to dispel the darkness, one day the world will always be filled with light. Although I can't see , but I want to get it."

Yang Xiu raised his head and laughed, with tears in his eyes, "You are still so naive."

He thought that Yang You would become a sophisticated and cunning man after ten years of management in the Southwest, and he would become a ruthless and qualified emperor.

He was wrong.

Yang You has never changed, he has learned all the means, and then used them to fulfill his original ideal.

Yang You put on the coat and put his finger on the door, "If the nephew and the concubine can be reincarnated, I hope they can live in a bright world. If there is no one to create such a world, then I will create it myself. To give them a bright future."

Yang You opened the door and went out, Yang Xiu laughed and fell to the ground.

He thought of the side profile of the boy who had peeped many times many years ago.

It is precisely because he is in the dark that he yearns for the light.

This guy Yang You is really likable as always...

The seventh prince Yang Lun just came back from the palace, and the concubine Liu was teasing the newborn child in the room.

"Ninny..." She shook the rattle in her hand.

Yang Lun sat with her for a while and then went to the study alone.

He secured the door and sat alone in the gradually darkened room, recalling what happened in the palace with fear.

That was not the first time Yang Ren came to him. Yang Ren had given him many hints before, but he dared not agree.

To this day, both Yang You and Yang Xiu were discussing in the court because they were preparing for major events in the Northwest, and Yang Ren found him before he left.

He didn't say anything, as long as he went to a private house to see Yang Ren at night.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that now only Yang Ren and Yang You are fighting in the court.The emperor was seriously ill, Yang Ren asked him to meet, not in the palace but in a private house, what else could happen?

He really couldn't think of anything about him that was worth getting third brother to win over.

Could it be that because the sixth brother and the fifth brother have become a party, Yang Ren also wants to pull a prince to stand in line?

But his strength is completely out of proportion to Yang Xiu's!

To go or not to go?

He tightly grasped the letter in his sleeve, which was the love letter Wu Yizhi wrote to him in the past.

I don't know where Yang Ren found these things. Yang Lun knew that Yang Ren was threatening.

If the concubine and her father-in-law knew about this, Yang Lun couldn't even imagine what his life would be like.

He was right before and gained Yang You's favor. Yang Xiu was right, Yang You would not kill him.Yang You can live a good life when he becomes the emperor.

But if this incident gets out, his reputation will be ruined...

going or not?

The paper in Yang Lun's hand was soaked with sweat, and the ink swelled and corroded all the writing.

In a private house in Kaipingfang, Yang Ren was sitting in it, the teacup in front of him was surrounded by moist and warm white smoke.

He was dressed in civilian clothes, but he was still handsome, with plum blossoms embroidered on the corner of his clothes, he was noble and aloof.

"Are you here?" Yang Ren asked.

A man covered in black cloth fixed the door, raised his hand and took off his cloak. .

Yang Lun's voice was trembling, Yang Ren could tell that he was afraid.

"I am coming."
