Chapter 26 Turkic envoy

The eunuch sent to Yang Yong to the palace was named Pan Liang. Pan Liang was over 40 years old and white.

Yang Yong asked in confusion: "Eunuch Pan, what big thing happened?"

Pan Liang entered the palace as a eunuch when Emperor Wu of Zhou. It can be said that he was already a virgin in the palace. The position of the prince is very stable. When he heard Yang Yong's question, he dared not hide it: "Go back to the prince, Sha Boluo's envoy has arrived in the capital. I heard that he wanted to seek peace from the Great Sui Dynasty, so the emperor asked His Highness and the ministers to discuss in the palace."

Yang Yong patted his head. He had been busy with the agricultural academy these days and almost forgot about this. After being attacked by Datou and Abo, the Tiel people broke away from the rule of the Turks as soon as possible. The Khitans also began to advance step by step under Luo Yi's leadership. Sha Boluo had reached a state of entanglement. The great Turkic khan, who was more enthusiastic than the sky, had to bow to the Great Sui Dynasty.

Yang Yong clapped his hands, and Lu Mulin turned out from behind, holding a ingot of five taels of silver in his hand. Yang Yong took the silver from Lu Mulin and handed it to Pan Liang: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."

Pan Liang immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness, how can you be so embarrassed?" He just refused, but the silver was wrapped in his sleeve.

If it were later Ming and Qing dynasties, the eunuchs of the fifth-rank in the palace would not have looked at the five-liang silver and would not have been too lazy to pick them up when they fell to the ground. However, the price of silver was extremely expensive at this time. After the new five-color coins were made, the five-liang silver could still be exchanged for twelve silos and five-liang silver coins.

The financial difficulties of the Great Sui Dynasty, although the salaries of officials increased compared with the past, they were still not high. The official position in the capital was one rank, with a salary of nine hundred stones, and the lower one was one hundred stones, and the fourth rank was three hundred stones. The fourth rank was two hundred stones, and the lower one was fifty stones, and the lower one was fifty stones, and the lower one was sixth rank, and the lower one was ten stones, and the lower one was fifty stones, and the lower one was fifty stones. Those who were not judged by the officials were all nine grades, and they were not given any salary, so they could only raise their own funds from the local area.

In this way, the fifth-rank official of the capital only has 200 s, while the eunuch and the capital officer are halved. Pan Liang's annual salary is only 100 s, and now the price of grain per stone is about 50 to 600 s. In other words, Pan Liang's annual salary is only 50 to 60 s, and the five taels of silver given to him are about 50 to 60 s.

Pan Liang was too low during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Zhou, and there was no chance to make money. Although he was promoted after joining the new dynasty, Yang Jian was only virtuous and the eunuch would never dare to ask for bribes on his own. Otherwise, he would be found dead. He vaguely heard the prince’s reward for the eunuch who was sent to the eunuch who was sent to the imperial eunuch. Every time he had any orders, the eunuchs in the palace rushed to the Eastern Palace. This time he finally made the trip worthy of his smile. He whispered: "Crown Prince, I just heard a news that the prefect of Chang'an received a ragtag lawsuit against the agricultural college for abuse of plowing oxen, and several censors were preparing to jointly impeach the agricultural college."

"What?" Yang Yong was shocked. Who didn't know that he was the dean of the Agricultural College? Impulsing the Agricultural College is not just impeaching himself? Abusing the plowing ox would mean the matter of wearing the plowing ox's nose this morning. Could it be that this matter would spread so quickly? Yang Yong asked in a deep voice: "Can you know who the complainant is?"

"Our family doesn't know this, but I just vaguely heard that it seems like an ordinary farmer."

Yang Yong felt anger. Not to mention that he abused the plowing ox, even killing a few cows, the father would at most scold him when he knew about it. A few censors would dare to jump out and impeach him. Isn’t he too easy to bully?

Yang Yong knew the truth that water drips through stones. Although this kind of thing was helpless and easy to explain, over time, it would inevitably leave a bad impression in the emperor's mind. Is it possible that after only three years of being the crown prince, there was a black hand pushing behind the scenes, hoping to shake his position as crown prince?

"Hmph, an ordinary farmer dares to sue the Agricultural College. No one here makes a fool of me. I will never believe it. Come and find Li Gang." Yang Yong shouted outside.

After a while, Li Gang hurried in and Yang Yong ordered: "Li Aiqing, please send someone to investigate the matter of someone suing the Agricultural College in Chang'an Prefecture today."

Li Gang was a little confused and replied, "Abide by the order!"

Pan Liang did not answer. His news had already reached, and he felt that he was worthy of the reward given by Yang Yong. Seeing that Yang Yong had finished his order, he hurriedly urged: "Crown Prince, come to the palace quickly. You must not let the emperor wait for a long time."

Yang Yong shook his hand: "No hurry." He winked at Lu Mulin again. Lu Mulin took out another ingot of five taels of pattern from his body. Yang Yong handed the silver to Pan Liang: "Eunuch Pan, thank you for telling me the news."

When Pan Liang heard Yang Yong say he was not anxious, he was about to refute, but when he saw another ingot of white silver, he immediately smiled on his face: "You are polite, Prince." He put the silver without blushing.

Yang Yong sighed in his heart. The eunuch was incomplete and had been greedy for money since ancient times. If he ascended the throne in the future, he would either not need eunuchs or he would have to set rules that eunuchs would not leave the palace to prevent them from contacting foreign ministers, otherwise any news in the palace would be leaked.

When Yang Yong arrived at the palace, Yang Shuang, Gao Ying, Su Wei, Yang Su and others had already arrived first and were sitting together and chatting and laughing. When they saw Yang Yong coming, Gao Ying, Su Wei and others saluted Yang Yong one after another: "Go to the prince."

Yang Yong quickly helped him: "Dear friends, don't be too polite." He hurried to Yang Shuang and bowed respectfully: "My nephew greets the fifth uncle."

Yang Shuang held Yang Yong with her hands, couldn't help laughing, and said happily: "I saw Amo last time, I was very relieved. I thought that the second generation of the Yang family's nephews had grown up. When I saw the prince this time, the Gu Wang felt that my Yang family had successors."

Yang Shuang is actually only a few years older than Yang Yong, and is only in his early twenties. He is Yang Jian’s half-brother. He was raised by Gu Du when he was a child for several years. It can be said that he grew up with Yang Yong. However, after Yang Tian replaced Yang Yong’s thought, Yang Shuang has joined the army and started as a small lieutenant. It is rare to meet once in several years. Yang Yong has seen a fifth uncle now, but the number of times he has seen him is less than ten times.

In the later Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was a backer king Yang Lin in the Sui Dynasty. He almost supported the country behind the Great Sui Dynasty alone. After the death of the Backer King, the Sui Dynasty was overthrown. Yang Yong naturally knew that this backer king Yang Lin was a fictional character, and his deeds were all based on King Wei Yang Shuang.

"Thank you for your praise from Uncle Wu." Although the age difference was not too big, Yang Yong did not dare to show any disrespect to him. He sat down next to Yang Shuang to show respect for Yang Shuang.

Shortly after Yang Yong sat down, the ministers of various departments and several marshals who defeated the Turks this time also arrived one after another. Almost the ten most powerful people in the Sui Dynasty gathered in the palace. For a moment, the hall was covered in purple and purple belts were floating everywhere.

The clothes of the Great Sui Dynasty were the most expensive. The emperor could choose green and yellow. The official clothes were the most expensive. It was necessary for officials above the fourth rank to use purple clothes. During the ceremony, officials could also wear yellow clothes. To show the difference, the emperor often added twelve golden rings, while officials added purple ribbons, gold-silver wisp (Pange) bags, gold-jewel swords, water-cang jade pendants, red socks, red socks, and red Chen.

Although the Turks split into two halves, the eastern and western Turks each had nearly 200,000 cavalry. The Great Sui Dynasty still seemed extremely cautious about the arrival of the Sha Bo Ruo envoy.

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch leader Zhang Quan's feminine voice sounded. Yang Jian, wearing a green imperial robe, walked into the hall and sat down on the chair in the middle.

"See the Emperor." Seeing the emperor sitting down, Yang Yong and Yang Shuang took the lead in standing in front and bowing to the emperor. The people in the palace were all third-rank or above, and they could not kneel down during informal court meetings.

"No gift!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After saying this, everyone sat down again.

"Dear friends, the envoy of the Turkic Shaboluo Khan has come to the capital to ask for peace from our Great Sui Dynasty. Here are letters from the envoy of Shaboluo. If you want to agree to Shaboluo's request, please ask your friends to come up with a charter today." Yang Jian's words were very proud.

Yang Jian was indeed proud. It was only three years after the establishment of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the Khitans first depended on it. The Turks split into two halves. In the west, Abo and the other two had sent envoys to surrender. Sha Boluo, who had been rebellious, bowed to the Great Sui Dynasty. Thinking that Sha Boluo only brought 100,000 troops a few years ago, the whole Zhou Dynasty was also panicked. How could he be unsatisfied now?

Gao Ying said: "Report to the emperor, can you let me see the Turkic envoy's peace proposal first?"

Yang Jian nodded and signaled Zhang Quan to read it out. Zhang Quan's feminine voice sounded: "From the wise emperor of the Turkic Emperor Yili, Moheshaboluo Khan, wrote a letter to the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty: The emperor, the father of the wife, is Weng Bi. This is a daughter, is a child. Although the two realms are different, the situation is the same. From now on, the descendants, and even for generations, they have been in love with each other. As God proves, they will never violate it! The sheep and horses in this country are the emperor's animals, and the paintings of the other are all the things of this country."
