Chapter 94 Yang Ruyi: Yang You is nothing, cripple him and let my son become emperor.
Lu Xiao's sudden low laughter woke up Yang Ruyi, who was fast asleep beside him.
"Stop making a scene! Stop making a scene! You're disturbing my son!"
Yang Ruyi opened her eyes groggily and immediately raised her small fist, gently punching Lü Xiao's chest three or five times, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness and drowsiness.
"Sorry, sorry, I got too excited." Lu Xiao quickly grabbed her small hand and comforted her, "Go to sleep, go to sleep."
He sat alone by the tatami mat, slowly calming his turbulent emotions.
This matter needs to be handled slowly. After all, mountains of gold and silver are no small amount, and once they are all mined, their value will be immeasurable.
He now has two choices.
One option is to eat it all by oneself, ensuring one is well-fed.
Secondly, tell Yang Guang to share this joy of the future, and then, as is customary, they will meet and divide it in half.
It wasn't that he was stingy; it was just that Yang Guang, as the emperor, possessed all the wealth in the world and was already incredibly rich.
They're already so rich, why would they care about a little gold and silver?
Lü Xiao mentally found excuses for opening his own secret stash.
"What's all the excitement about?" Yang Ruyi crossed her legs, grabbed Lü Xiao's arm and shook it repeatedly, asking questions non-stop.
"I clearly heard you shout 'I'm rich!' There's definitely something going on here. Tell me the truth!"
"It's nothing, I just had a nightmare."
Lu Xiao gave a perfunctory reply.
"Who would dream of getting rich in their nightmares?" Yang Ruyi rolled her eyes, hitting the nail on the head. "You didn't have a nightmare about falling into a mountain of gold and silver, did you?"
"Hey, you're half right." Lu Xiao couldn't help but laugh. He didn't actually have a nightmare, but he really did think about mountains of gold and silver.
This little girl really does have some kind of precognitive ability.
"That means there really is a great opportunity to make money!"
Yang Ruyi's eyes lit up instantly, all sleepiness vanished, and she grabbed Lü Xiao's arm, excitedly saying...
"We'll split it in half when we meet! If you become successful, I'll become successful too!"
"..."
Lu Xiao's face darkened, and he silently wiped his face.
Are all the Yang family members this domineering? So even if he goes outside to pick up a pile of poop, this little girl has to come and share half of it?
"Don't get excited, we haven't even got our hands on this wealth yet," Lü Xiaoyi said righteously. "Besides, this isn't my private property; it belongs to the country, to the Great Sui Dynasty!"
Then he told Yang Ruyi in detail about how Japan was rich in gold and silver.
This matter couldn't be kept secret at all, since he had brought a large army to the island, and sooner or later it would reach Yang Guang's ears.
Rather than waiting for Yang Guang to ask, it would be better to conspire with his daughter first.
If we let that little rascal plead for leniency, we might be able to get a bigger share of the benefits.
"oh……"
Upon hearing about the gold and silver mountains on the Japanese islands, Yang Ruyi's mouth dropped open in utter shock.
"Shut your mouth right now."
It was the middle of the night, and Lü Xiao didn't want to cause any trouble.
"Oh..." Yang Ruyi covered her mouth and mumbled as she pressed on, "Weren't you planning to embezzle it before?"
"I have had that thought."
Lu Xiao did not hide anything and immediately told Yang Ruyi about Yang You's opposition to him in the court and his own concerns.
"I plan to have His Majesty grant me that territory after I conquer Japan."
That way, even if Yang You ascends the throne and tries to settle scores with me, I'll have a way out; at worst, I can just flee to Japan.
"You're so stupid!" Yang Ruyi poked Lü Xiao's head with a look of exasperation after hearing this.
"Why not just replace Yang You? Why make yourself suffer by running away!"
In her opinion, her husband was overthinking things.
Emperor Yang You should be able to do his job if he's capable, and depose him if he's not. Why be so hesitant and indecisive?
"Then the new emperor..." Yang Ruyi lowered her head and touched her lower abdomen, her eyes curving into crescents as she spoke with a smile.
"How about our son? When he grows up, he can directly inherit my father's throne, wouldn't that be wonderful!"
"Tomorrow I'll go through the files and see if there are any examples of grandsons inheriting the throne from their maternal grandfathers!"
After saying that, Yang Ruyi lay back on the couch with satisfaction, gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen, and closed her eyes contentedly.
He soon fell asleep again, dreaming of his son becoming emperor.
"What kind of world is this..." Lu Xiao sat on the edge of the couch, completely lost in thought.
He realized that in front of Yang Ruyi, he was simply a conservative greenhorn.
Am I being too conventional?
So much so that he often seems out of place among the royal family members because he is not wild enough.
Forget it, we'll deal with the future later. There's no point in thinking about it now. We might as well live in the present.
Lu Xiao shook his head, lay back down on the couch, and gradually fell asleep.
In the following days, the Sui Dynasty officially issued an edict declaring war on Goguryeo once again.
In a short time, the army set off for Liaodong.
Following Yang Guang's instructions, prominent families also dispatched their members and soldiers to participate.
The entire Eastern Capital was filled with a tense atmosphere before the battle.
Lu Xiao then went to Yu Juluo's residence, intending to have the old man select some men for him.
He has obtained Yang Guang's permission to form his own army.
Having been stationed at the Eastern Capital's main camp for many years, Yu Julu naturally knew which troops were the most powerful.
"You need more people?"
Yu Julu knew that Lü Xiao's visit was no good.
"Okay, eight thousand, the same kind as last time will do."
Lu Xiao hadn't forgotten those eight hundred men; they were all full of energy and skilled in swords, spears, clubs, archery, and horsemanship.
If he had another eight thousand, he'd dare to go to the moon.
"Do I look like Baqian to you?"
Yu Juluo pointed to his face and asked.
"You must be able to take on ten thousand men single-handedly."
Lü Xiao responded with a smile.
"Go ahead and joke with this old man," Yu Juluo said, sitting down. "Even if you kill all eight thousand of me, it won't matter, but I know which battalion is strong and which is weak."
"That's why I came to you; I'm waiting for you to take a look."
"Since you don't mind this old man, shall we go?"
"Let's go."
After chatting with Yu Julu for a while, Lü Xiao took the old man out of the mansion.
Before long, the two arrived at the Eastern Capital Camp.
Yu Juluo didn't let Lü Xiao come for nothing, and selected another two hundred elites to fill the original vacancy of eight hundred.
Next, Lü Xiao followed Yu Juluo to various camps. The old man had indeed lived to be that old.
After a thorough selection process, the elite soldiers of each battalion were indeed chosen.
Although some generals were unwilling, they had no choice but to accept that it was Lü Xiao who came to select the men.
Even if they were unwilling to give, the soldiers were willing to give themselves away.
"Kid, isn't that enough?"
Yu Juluo saw that there were already eight thousand people, which matched the number Lü Xiao had mentioned.
"That's not enough. Let's add some more and make it eight thousand eight hundred."
Lu Xiao was after the auspicious number 800.
Without those eight hundred men, it would be like Zhang Liao losing Sun Quan.
