Faced with the alliance compensation provided by the Turks, Emperor Sui thought about it and directly asked Yang Shuang about his thoughts.

Yang Shuang understood that this was the test of Emperor Sui on himself. He could not refuse to form an alliance directly with righteousness, nor could he ignore dignity just for the sake of interests. Therefore, if Yang Shuang's answer wanted to satisfy Emperor Sui, he could not say anything randomly.

After careful consideration, Yang Shuang said: "Father, forming an alliance with the Turks is no less than acquitted with a tiger, so the son minister is unwilling to form an alliance, and he cannot get along with him. In the son minister's heart, the father's attitude and rules towards foreign enemies are admired and must not be changed, and will be remembered by future generations and descendants forever!"

"Oh? My attitude towards the enemy?" Emperor Sui was quite surprised. His attitude towards the enemy was changing at any time. How could there be any rules?

Yang Shuang nodded quickly and said, "Of course there is! In the hearts of his sons, the father's rule against the enemy is not to be close relatives, not to pay tribute, not to submit to the people, not to cede land, the emperor guards the country, and the king guards the country! This rule should be passed down as the spiritual inheritance of the Great Sui Dynasty, and it will continue to be passed on, and the descendants of all generations must not violate it."

After hearing this, the Emperor Sui looked surprised and after savoring it carefully, he was deeply moved. Are he so sacred? He actually set such rules. It’s not bad. As the monarch of the Great Sui Dynasty, how could he let his daughter marry? This is a shame.

When Yang Shuang saw Emperor Sui’s surprise, she felt at ease. She had to slap her flattery like this. It didn’t seem abrupt, but it was very reasonable.

"Father, so this time the Turks formed an alliance, it was impossible for us to send princesses to marry each other. However, the Turks were willing to help us destroy the Khitan, so we can consider accepting this. The last time the Khitan colluded with Gong Xuesong to invade us, the revenge had not been avenged yet. Although we took Fuyu City, the level was not enough. The Khitan must taste the painful price to demonstrate the national prestige of our Great Sui!" Yang Shuang said again.

Emperor Sui felt that Yang Shuang was right, but Emperor Sui was puzzled and asked, "So you refuse to marry, but agree to form an alliance?"

Yang Shuang replied: "Garment is absolutely not good, and alliances must be cautious. Just now, I said that forming an alliance with the Turks is no less than acquisitive with a tiger. The Turks also want to use the Great Sui Dynasty to develop their own strength. So the real idea of ​​the Imperial Palace is... Let's put the alliance aside for the time being. The Turks first help the Great Sui Dynasty destroy the Khitan, and then talk about the alliance!"

"Haha..." Emperor Sui smiled immediately, pointed at Yang Shuang and said, "You kid really dare to think about it. The Turks are not stupid. Will you agree?"

Yang Shuang laughed and said, "It's yes to not agree. You can give them some benefits, such as fine salt, so that they can taste sweet tastes. The method of making fine salt is in our hands and can cut off their goods at any time. Moreover, the Turks are willing to help us destroy the Khitan, which means that the cooperation between their two sides has collapsed. Destroying the Khitan seems to help us avenge us, but in fact, the Turks can also get benefits."

"This time, the Turks came to seek an alliance. If they didn't pay some price, how could they agree so much? In addition, our Great Sui and the Tang dynasties have formed an alliance. If they form an alliance with the Turks and have a bad reputation, they will say that our Great Sui has been in a half-hearted and betrayed the alliance. Therefore, this alliance must be delayed and we cannot be in a hurry."

"And the situation in the Tang Dynasty is already very delicate. It won't take long to see a major change in Chang'an. Now, the Tang Dynasty cannot be stimulated during this period, so as not to affect the layout in the Tang Dynasty!"

"To sum up, the opinion of the son minister is to discuss alliances, but it is necessary to delay and eliminate the Khitan first!"

After Yang Shuang finished speaking, she listened and waited for Emperor Sui's orders.

Emperor Sui nodded and said with relief: "You have thoughtful thoughts very carefully. You have neither rejected this alliance directly nor paid attention to the immediate interests in order to win the Khitan. You will encounter many important things in the future, so you cannot be blinded by the immediate interests and ignore the meaning behind the interests. Tomorrow, I will be ready to discuss this matter. You can also go to the court to see the opinions of the civil and military officials in the court."

"My son understand!" Yang Shuang replied.

Then, the two chatted for a while before Yang Shuang left the palace.

A banquet was held in the evening to entertain the Turkic envoys.

The next day, before dawn, Yang Shuang woke up.

He hasn't been to court for a long time. Although he can get up and practice martial arts, he is still full of resistance to the matter of getting up and going to court for court.

This is a bad habit, not only to the emperor, but also to civil and military ministers.

If Yang Shuang can be the emperor in the future, she must change the time of the morning court. Wouldn’t it be nice to go to court at 8 o’clock?

After entering the palace, all civil and military officials were waiting in the square. The censor stood on the stone steps to inspect, ready to take out a small notebook at any time to prepare materials for tomorrow's impeachment.

Yang Shuang also met Yang Yong and Yang Guang, and the three brothers gathered together to chat.

"Brother, my father asked us to go to court today. It is impossible for us to go to court for no reason. What is the reason?" Yang Yong asked curiously.

Yang Shuang did not hide it and said directly: "It should be the Turks seeking alliance. Yesterday I had already dedicated the letter of the country to my father. I think it was a discussion of this matter!"

"So that's it!" Yang Yong nodded.

Yang Shuang continued: "What do you two think?"

"I think that forming an alliance with the Turks is more harmful than good!" Yang Yong straightforwardly: "The Turkic wolf ambitions, there may be conspiracies in this alliance, so we must guard against it!"

"It is normal to have a conspiracy. The game between countries is to pursue interests, and it depends on whether the two sides are satisfied!" Yang Guang put forward different ideas.

Yang Yong immediately asked, "The third brother agrees with the alliance?"

Yang Guang casually said: "The Turks have what we need, such as war horses. This one restricts our army from the Great Sui Dynasty. The facts prove that cavalry is the best among all armies, with strong mobility, powerful speed, etc. The Turks are obviously very stupid, why are they so strong in combat? It is because of their unique growth environment that allows them to grow up on horseback since childhood. Our Great Sui Dynasty lacks war horses, and the number of lacks is large. So it is better to take this opportunity to obtain war horses from the Turks. When we make up for our weaknesses, even if the Turks become stronger through us, we will not be afraid of them!"

"My third brother is right, but it's just that it's an alliance with the Turks, which always makes me feel disgusted." Yang Yong said.

Yang Guang looked at Yang Shuang and asked, "What do you think of brother?"

Yang Shuang was about to speak, but the drums were already ringing, so she smiled and began to enter the hall.

After entering the hall, I waited quietly. Before long, the Sui Emperor entered the hall, and the morning court officially began.

"I will discuss one thing this morning, that is, the Turkic mission seeks alliance. This is the letter of nationality sent by the Turks. Please listen to it, my dearest friends!" Emperor Sui said on his own initiative.

Then, Du Ankang read out the contents of the Chinese Book.

"My dear friends, what do you think?" Emperor Sui glanced at everyone and asked.

After the civil and military officials looked at each other for a moment, Zhang Xueqiu, the servant of the disciple, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think that forming an alliance with the Turks is related to border security, and it is a good thing to help and win each other!"

"No! I feel that forming an alliance with the Turks is not feasible!" The Secretariat ordered Han Moqiao to veto it immediately.

"Not feasible? Where is it not feasible?"

"Dulan Khan of the Eastern Turks has destroyed the Western Turks. Do you think it's suspicious to seek alliances during this period?"

"I don't think it's suspicious! I just think this is an excellent opportunity to vigorously develop the Great Sui cavalry!"

"Hmph, you are helping the evil!"

...

Before the others could speak, Zhang Xueqiu and Han Moqiao even started arguing. One of the two was the heads of the Ministry of Menxia Province and the other was the heads of the Ministry of Secretariat. After they started arguing, the officials from various government offices behind them also started arguing. For a moment, the hall was in a mess.

The Emperor Sui was not bored, but instead looked at the civil and military debates in the court with interest.

Then, the Emperor of Sui expressed the conditions for the Turks to help the Great Sui Dynasty destroy the Khitan, which directly made the support for the alliance louder and louder.

Alliances indicate peace, alliances indicate opportunities, and many officials hope for peace.

The argument was so irresistible that Emperor Sui coughed and stopped the discussion.

Then, Emperor Sui asked Yang Yong and Yang Guang about their opinions and tested the two princes. Yang Yong still did not recommend an alliance, but Yang Guang advocated an alliance.

What Yang Shuang didn't expect was that His Majesty did not ask for his opinion, as if it was because he had asked last night.

The morning court was in progress until dawn, and Yang Shuang was a little hungry and had not yet debated it.

In the end, Emperor Sui comforted the excited ministers and said, "This matter is discussed for the time being, let me think about it carefully!"

Then he retreated.

Yang Shuang secretly raised her thumbs up. Sure enough, no emperor who could win the throne was simple. The Sui Emperor talked about this matter in the morning court today, which not only allowed him to look at the situation in the court, but also gave him an attitude of importance to the outside world. I believe Dude heard that after today's morning court, he was full of confidence in the alliance between the two countries.

Of course, Yang Shuang couldn't guess what the Emperor Sui was thinking, whether to support the alliance, or not, or other ideas. Even when he discussed it with him yesterday, Emperor Sui also communicated based on Yang Shuang's views and did not express his own ideas at all.

Maybe the Sui Emperor agreed to form an alliance and it was not decided.

Yang Shuang didn't want to figure out His Majesty's thoughts. Whether it was an alliance with the Turks or not, it was of little significance to Yang Shuang. So he did his job well, treated Dude well, and fulfilled his friendship with the landlords.

......

Just as Kyoto was talking about the Turkic mission, a sudden 800-mile express report came from the southern border.

The State of Wei sent Cai Mao as the general, commanding 100,000 troops, and invading the Sui Dynasty.

Li Haiyang, the Pingbo Hou of Linhai County, immediately organized troops to fight back, and the two sides fought on the river surface.

On the third day after Cai Mao sent troops, Zhang Yun also led 60,000 troops to attack Yangzhou.

Immediately afterwards, in the Tongling area, the Wei navy also began to attack.

Cao Cao still chose to attack multiple points, trying to open one point, so that the Wei army could land one after another, without eroding the line, and stand firm in the formation.

The news of Wei's attack changed the verbalism in Kyoto from the Turks to the Wei State.

Although there are often gaps between the Great Sui and Wei countries and frictions occur every now and then, this friction has not yet risen to the national war, so the news has not caused much heated discussion when it reaches Kyoto. It is far less likely to be more concerned by the people than the confrontation with the Khitan and Turks.

So at this moment, many people were still confused when they heard the Wei State invasion. Then they were very tough and shouted to show the color of Wei State.

In general, the people's hearts in the Great Sui Dynasty were still very strong, and the people's hearts were the morale of the army.

Dude has been in Kyoto for more than ten days, and the alliance has not been reached for a long time, which makes him a little impatient. At this time, he heard that the Wei State invaded the Great Sui State, and he was secretly happy. In his opinion, the invasion of the Wei State was an opportunity, which would make the Emperor of Sui tend to form an alliance with the Turks. There was already military affairs in the south, so the north should be peaceful, and it is impossible to fight both north and south.

So Dude went to meet Yang Shuang again.

Yang Shuang also heard about the invasion of Wei State. What should come finally came. Faced with Du De's request for advice, how could Yang Shuang not know what he was thinking?

So after meeting Dude, Yang Shuang entered the palace again. This time, he had to know what His Majesty was thinking.

When he came to the imperial study, Emperor Sui was still dealing with government affairs. Although the meeting hall shared the emperor's government affairs, Emperor Sui was a diligent emperor and had to review many of his memorials himself.

After Yang Shuang entered the palace, before he could speak, the Emperor Sui smiled and said, "It seems that the Turkic mission is anxious?"

Yang Shuang said truthfully: "Yes, my father, when Dude saw the Wei State invasion, he felt that his father would agree to form an alliance with the Turks."

The Emperor of Sui put down the brush in his hand and said, "Cao Cao was determined to attack the Sui Dynasty this time, so next, most of our troops and attention should be concentrated in the south. But it does not mean that we will shrink the troops outside the northern pass. In the north, we have the Great Wall as a barrier, and with the troops such as Mingguang Hou, what if we fear even if the war between the north and the south is going to begin at the same time?"

Hearing this, Yang Shuang had already heard the decision of Emperor Sui.

As expected, the Emperor Sui continued: "The Turks were fierce and born with a nation on horseback. If the Turks were unified and reformed, it would be a disaster for the Han people. I cannot be a sinner of the Han people. Remember the words of the predecessors: If the people of our tribe are not my tribe, their hearts will be different! Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to form an alliance with the Turks. But you are right. You can adjust the appetite of the Turks. Even if you cannot destroy the Khitan, you must let the Khitan know the consequences of provoking the Sui Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Emperor Sui ordered: "Now that I know what I think, what will happen next depends on you. Don't worry, it doesn't matter if I mess it up. I will hold you back. As the prince of the Great Sui Dynasty, you have the identity and ability to handle such things! Do you understand?"

"My son understand! Please rest assured, my father!" Yang Shuang took a reassurance at this time and knew how to deal with Dude.

After leaving the palace, Yang Shuang went directly to the villa and met Dude.

"Your Highness, what did Your Majesty of your country say? Do you agree to form an alliance?" Du De asked hurriedly.

Yang Shuang nodded.

Dude was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, Yang Shuang continued: "My Majesty is very optimistic about the alliance between the two countries. He originally agreed to the alliance, but many civil and military ministers raised objections. Moreover, the opposition from the people is very strong. Among these people, many of their fathers or husbands and sons died outside the pass!"

"Your Highness, there will be casualties between the two countries in war, which is inevitable, and we, the Turks, have casualties. And forming an alliance is also necessary for the times. I believe that after forming an alliance, they will understand it." Dude explained.

Yang Shuang said, "Dude, if you read Han books, you should understand the importance of the people's hearts to a country. Your Majesty, my dynasty, is an emperor who loves the people as much as his son, so naturally I don't want to make the people's hearts flock because of the alliance. Therefore, regarding the alliance, Your Majesty's opinion is to let the people of the Sui Dynasty see the sincerity of the Turks!"
