The next morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the clouds on the top of Luoyang city. The ice-covered city was shining brightly, and the ice and snow melted water was crystal clear in the sun. The whole city made people feel that this was a dream castle that only existed in myths, with bright ice crystals and shining.

Last year, the weather was cold and the Central Plains was covered with ice and snow, and the snow was covered with snow, and the rivers were frozen, and the Tongji Canals became ice and snow, and the boats could not move. But now, the ice and snow on the rivers were gradually thinning. In a short time, the rivers would be thawed, which also means that the war was coming. At that time, large ships full of armored and grain and soldiers would continue to drive to the forefront of the war.

At this moment, Yang Tong, who was regarded as a great enemy by the princes in the world, did nothing and was accompanying his wife and several daughters for breakfast.

Yang Lu felt that his father had learned bad things from his two brothers, but he had not seen anyone for several days. He must criticize and educate him carefully. In order to impose his momentum, she clamped a piece of pickled cucumber with green and pickled cucumbers, opened her mouth and took a bite. Her cheeks bulged like a hamster, chewing quickly. After swallowing her stomach, she said angrily: "Father, the deer wants to eat hibiscus eggs. You should scoop half a bowl for me quickly. My hands are not long enough."

Yang Lu was too lazy to stretch out his hand, so he directed Yang Tong to scoop her his favorite hibiscus egg, dig a spoon with a spoon, and put it in his mouth to finish it.

He continued to criticize her father and said, "Do you know how much Xiaolu misses you? She can't sleep every day. I don't have any good food anymore! When I eat candied fruit, I leave half of it for you."

Yang Tong said with a happy look: "There are also candied fruits. Where is it? Give the deer a quick meal for your father to eat."

"Hmph, you don't know where to go to play. Mother, the mother said that wasting food was a bad child. The deer was afraid that the candied fruit would be broken, so she had to eat it." Yang Lu said naturally, "Look, I can't eat well these days and sleep well, and people have begun to lose weight! You are so heartless, do you think you deserve me?"

Yang Xifang, Yang Hui, and Yang Wan let out a crisp laugh. Several adults tried their best to hold back their laughter. Yang Tong looked at his little daughter's chubby face and lowered his eyebrows and said with a pleasing look: "Xiao Lu is right. It's true that his father is wrong. He won't run around in the future and stay with Xiao Lu every day. Is that okay?"

"Hmph, it's not enough! You want to build a snowman with me and be a big snowman for me."

"Okay! Let's be big snowmen."

"You have to swing with me and fly high!"

"Yeah! Let's go swing after dinner."

"You want to write with me!"

"Did Xiaolu know how to write? When did she learn it?" Yang Tong looked surprised.

Yang Lu smiled and said proudly: "Hmph, it was my elder sister who taught me. Let me tell you that the words I wrote are so beautiful. The stinky father didn't even know. It made me sad."

"Okay, my father knows now, I'll read the deer to write later!" Looking at the four quirky daughters, Yang Tong's heart melted. He made countless wishes and promised countless contracts to sell his body. Finally, Yang Lu let him go with a smile and happily played with his three sisters.

Yang Tong had time to finish his breakfast and said sourly: "I don't know which pig heads my pigs have been slapped out of here in the future. I really want to find them to beat them."

"Aren't you purging someone else's cabbage?" Wei Fengwu said with a smile

Yang Tong turned his eyes coldly and said leisurely to the six beautiful young women: "I only saw six old sauerkrauts. It's a pity to eat it, so how could I give it up? How could I get the little cabbage?"

One word aroused thousands of waves and caused six wives to condemn them together. Changsun Wugui said sourly: "That's true. There are a group of cabbages in the palace, so how can we look down on us old sauerkrauts."

"That's right, especially Fang Xiuzhu, Li Youwei, Yaoyao, Zheng Liwan, and the tender and spiritual light, I like it all."

"It probably won't take long to replace these old sauerkraut."

""

This was exactly what the people were. Yang Tong could only repeatedly beg for mercy, express his loyalty, and made countless unequal treaties, which made several old sauerkrauts end the crusade with satisfaction.

The Rakshasa Guards brought by Yang Qinfang are indeed in the palace now, but they are just female officials. Although they are all tender and smart, Yang Tong did not have any thoughts about him. These girls were originally gentle ladies, but Yang Qinfang was led to become tomboys by Yang Qinfang. The royal family has the responsibility and obligation to reverse and correct their thoughts. The reason why they were asked to be female officials in the palace was actually to smooth out their hostility, so as not to be too strong after getting married and end up in an unfortunate marriage. This is barely an explanation from the royal family to each family.

Wei Fengwu poured a cup of tea for Yang Tong and asked, "The ice and snow have begun to melt, the war is not far away. Will your husband also follow the army to go to war?"

Yang Tong just served several little babies, his hands were covered with soup, washed clean in a copper basin, picked up a towel, wiped the water stains on his hands, took the teacup, and said, "This is for sure. I want to bring these to the king and envoys to go on the battlefield, so that these local bullies can have a long experience and know what a big battle of hundreds of thousands of people is. This is also to shock them and make them realize the gap between themselves and the Central Plains. Real wars are more effective than exaggerated display of wealth. I want them to know that the Great Sui Dynasty is not only rich, but also strong, and it is not a place where they can stretch out their claws of sin."

"This time, is it going to attack the Tang Dynasty or Li Mi?" Wei Fengwu looked at Li Xiuning, who was a little pale face, and patted her hand comfortably. Recently, there were various rumors in the palace, saying that the Sui Dynasty was preparing to destroy Li Tang in a battle. Li Xiuning was pregnant and was worried all day long and worried about gains and losses, but she did not dare to ask Yang Tong, which made her anxious day and night recently. Wei Fengwu was just asking her.

"This year we are going to fight against the southern rebels such as Li Mi, Lin Shihong, and others. The reason why we created an atmosphere of attacking the Tang Dynasty was the deceptive tactics implemented by the court. In order to make Li Mi relax and annihilate the southern princes and then consider Li Tang, it is all my fault that I did not tell you in time, making you worry for so long." Yang Tong looked at Li Xiuning with a little apology.

Li Xiuning relaxed her heart and gently stroked her slightly raised belly. Her pale cheeks showed a hint of rosy look, adding a bit of charm: "I understand my good intentions, but I still say that since I have married, I am a member of the Yang family, I should put my husband and children first. The war between the Sui and Tang Dynasties will happen sooner or later. I will not hide it from my husband, I really hope that the battle between the Sui and Tang Dynasties will happen sooner or later, and I don't have to worry about it all the time."

Yang Tong said with deep gratitude: "Your father is old and I'm afraid there will be no more years after the world is unified. Then, let him go to Luoyang to take care of his old age. As long as he spends his old age honestly, I will not do anything to him. Look at Yuexian's father and Dou Jiande, aren't they all valued by me? If he still has that energy, I can also let him become a bachelor's in the cabinet."

Li Yuan was not good at fighting, but he played with power and plotting, but left Yang Tong thousands of miles away. His generation may not use this knowledge, but the next generation will definitely be able to use it. If he lives to the day of unification, Yang Tong is even willing to throw Prince Yang Rong to him. Moreover, the promise of leaving Li Yuan's life is not only Yang Tong's promise to Li Xiuning, but also Yang Guang's only request. The reason is to study Li Yuan's cousin to see how many masks he still has.

"Thank you, my husband." Li Xiuning's voice was filled with a strong sense of gratitude. She could feel strong confidence from her husband's voice. Even Li Tang was not afraid of being in the prosperous period, so she would not be afraid of an old man who lost his power!

"Your elder brother Li Jiancheng knows the general and has great righteousness. When Li Tang joined forces with the Turks, he believed that the dispute between Sui and Tang dynasties was an internal dispute, and that the brutal alien race should not be allowed to poison the same race. He was also the only person in the Li Tang court who opposed the alliance with the Turks. Later, it was his opposition that led your father to retreat the cavalry of Tuyuhun. I really admire him. If it weren't for the damn war, I think we should be good friends. As long as he surrenders to the Great Sui Dynasty, I can also forgive him."

"Thank you, thank you husband." Li Xiuning's eyes were red with gratitude, and tears flowed uncontrollably. Her husband was able to make such a frank promise, which made him so grateful that he couldn't help but feel grateful. He didn't know how to express himself, so he could only keep thanking him.

"Okay, the family will not speak two families. If you are pregnant, you should not be very happy or sad." Yang Tong walked over and comforted Li Xiuning in his arms.

Yang Tong had too many spies within Li Tang. He knew that Li Jiancheng had never destroyed his conscience, so he did not want to hurt Li Jiancheng. As for Li Shimin, who was profit-oriented, let it go. Even if he did not die in the war, Yang Tong would not let them survive.

"If you are really grateful to me, just think of a few more wonderful positions to serve me." Yang Tong said with a slight smile.

His words made his wife roll their eyes.

"The foolish lord!" Li Xiuning burst into tears and smiled, and gently hit Yang Tong.

"If you want to talk about a foolish lord, that's yours! He has not achieved anything else in the past few years, but he has given birth to many younger brothers and sisters for you!"

"" Li Xiuning was speechless and changed the topic: "When will your husband send troops?"

"If you have prepared enough, let Li Mi and the others be worried for a while."

"The soldiers in the barracks are full, but they are not enough?" Shui Tianji couldn't help asking.

"What I said is that it is sufficiently prepared, not only military forces, but also a series of problems after military victory. For example, food relief, local officials and other issues must be prepared."

"I received dozens of counties last year. These dilapidated places are still huge burdens for the court. Without a year or two, it is difficult to restore vitality. These places are now supported by the savings of the court. In other words, we not only need to maintain the military rations of nearly one million troops, but also the huge relief expenses of the people in the Central Plains. The pressure of the court can be imagined."

"The vast land that was recovered can only be said to be a military victory. However, it has put a huge burden on the Sui Dynasty in terms of economy. Especially the Central Plains, which had been turbulent for more than ten years, was hit by a devastating blow, with deserted fields and displaced people. And with Li Mi's massive migration to the south, he took away all the food of the people and transferred all the important task of helping the victims of the Central Plains to the head of the Sui Dynasty."

Changsun Wugui suddenly said, "No wonder my husband wants to hold the imperial examination ahead of tomorrow. It turns out that our dynasty lacks officials."

"That's true!" Yang Tong nodded and said, "The candidates who registered were concentrated at various test sites. After the exam, the candidates who were seeking had to come to Luoyang to familiarize themselves with the policies and laws of the Sui region, learn the way of becoming an official, and they could take office urgently in a few months. Although there is no guarantee that they will not make any mistakes, there are people in the place and they will not be in chaos."
