The Great Sui Emperor - Chapter 30: General Tianbao

The next morning, Yang Guang struggled to get out of bed—not from Qin Shi's bed, of course, to avoid being discovered. The expeditionary army had finally set off back to the capital. Yang Guang looked at Qin Shi, who stood on the city wall, still reluctant to leave, and nodded to her, a thousand words unspoken. Now, Yang Guang secretly vowed to seize the position of crown prince as soon as possible, and after becoming emperor, he would find a way to bring all his women to the capital, Luoyang, and give them a proper status!
Upon returning to the capital, Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, naturally bestowed upon Yang Guang numerous rewards, including 200,000 taels of silver, further strengthening Yang Guang's foundation for seizing the throne. Following this, the army was rewarded, and Luo Yi was promoted to Grand General of Youzhou and Marquis of Jingbian. Moreover, Luo Yi's son, Luo Cheng, was also brought along—a deliberate act by Yang Guang, who intended for Luo Cheng to remain by his side. Luo Cheng was appointed Deputy Chief of the Imperial Guards of the Prince of Jin, thus officially joining Yang Guang's Prince of Jin household.
It's worth mentioning that Emperor Yang Guang deliberately exaggerated Yuwen Chengdu's achievements, portraying him as incredibly brave. First, he fought a fierce battle against Luo Yi, the Silver Spear of the Desert, defeating him in a few moves. Then, he single-handedly fought the Eighteen Riders of Youyun, leaving chaos and defeat in his wake; no one could withstand a single blow from Yuwen Chengdu. Finally, he fought a great battle against Luo Cheng, the Cold Moon Spear, with whom he ultimately succumbed to defeat. In these battles, Yuwen Chengdu was undoubtedly the one who made the greatest contribution, a pillar of the Sui Dynasty, and so on. In short, Emperor Yang Guang praised Yuwen Chengdu as an unparalleled hero, unmatched in the world. This delighted Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian. With such a pillar of the Sui Dynasty, who would dare to rebel in the future? Yuwen Chengdu could easily crush them with a single blow of his Phoenix-Winged Golden Cudgel. Emperor Wen of Sui immediately bestowed upon Yuwen Chengdu the title of the Great Sui's First Warrior, the Heavenly Protector General, and the Marquis of Bravery! For a time, Yuwen Chengdu became the most popular figure in the entire Sui Dynasty, wielding real power. Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the 100,000 Imperial Guards outside the capital, Luoyang, giving him control over the lifeline of the entire capital. Seeing things developing as expected, Yang Guang was overjoyed. With Yuwen Chengdu as his pawn, even if he made mistakes as crown prince in the future, Yang Jian couldn't do anything to him; at worst, he could just besiege Luoyang.
"Come on, Chengdu, what do you think of this armor?"
Back at the Prince of Jin's residence, Yang Guang had Yuwen Chengdu wear the specially crafted Wild Goose Armor. Indeed, clothes make the man, and Yuwen Chengdu looked even more imposing in the armor, truly deserving of the title of the greatest warrior of the Sui Dynasty! However, Yang Guang felt uneasy. Yuwen Chengdu was so formidable; he wondered if he could control him in the future. If Yuwen Chengdu followed the same path as Yuwen Huaji to the bitter end, would his forces be enough to subdue him? The thought gave Yang Guang a headache; he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.
"Reporting to Your Highness Prince Jin, there is a young man named Changsun Wuji outside the gate who wishes to see Commander Changsun Sheng!"
A gatekeeper rushed in to report to Yang Guang. Since Yuwen Chengdu was now the commander of the Imperial Guards in the capital, he could no longer serve as the commander of the guards at the Prince of Jin's residence. The position of commander was now held by Luo Cheng, with Changsun Sheng as the deputy commander. As for Qi Guoyuan and Li Rugui, they were appointed as captains of the guards. Although it wasn't a high-ranking position, they received a large monthly allowance, enjoyed fine wine and delicacies, and could freely enter and leave brothels—a life of luxury. Therefore, the two were utterly loyal to Yang Guang and secretly vowed to achieve great merit to repay the Prince of Jin's favor!
"Your Highness, it's my son. I'll go and bring him in!"
Changsun Sheng beamed with joy and strode out. "Changsun Wuji!"
Yang Guang was initially taken aback, then overjoyed. This Changsun Wuji was a pillar of Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty. Especially after the deaths of many meritorious officials in the Lingyan Pavilion, it was entirely thanks to him and Yuchi Gong that the Tang Dynasty achieved its prosperous era of Zhenguan, and it wouldn't have witnessed Wu Zetian's turmoil! Yang Guang thought that if he kept Changsun Wuji by his side now, Li Shimin would have one less card to play, and he would have one less major threat. Why not?
A short while later, Changsun Sheng led in a robust-looking young man carrying a large bow on his back. Yang Guang guessed that this was the "Free and Easy Bow" that Changsun Wuji would later use to make him famous throughout the land. "Have you not greeted Your Highness yet?"
Changsun Sheng shouted at his son, "This humble subject, Changsun Wuji, greets Your Highness, Prince Jin! Long live Your Highness!"
Changsun Wuji knelt down and kowtowed. "Get up, get up! Hmm, indeed, heroes emerge from among the young!"
Yang Guang looked at Changsun Wuji with delight, becoming happier the more he looked. He thought to himself, "Li Shimin, I'll take you as my little brother!"
"Changsun Sheng, from now on Changsun Wuji will follow you and serve in my residence!"
Yang Guang hurriedly arranged for Changsun Wuji to stay at the Prince of Jin's residence, fearing that someone else might snatch him away. "Yes, Your Highness!"
Changsun Sheng nodded in agreement, while Changsun Wuji curiously scrutinized Yang Guang, seemingly with the eye of a mother-in-law choosing a son-in-law. Yang Guang felt a chill run down his spine, exclaiming that Changsun Wuji must be gay! But that wasn't the case. Changsun Wuji's reason for observing Yang Guang like this was that his younger sister, Changsun Shi, had specifically instructed him before his departure to memorize Yang Guang's appearance and then tell her. (Changsun Shi, whose given name is not recorded in history. The ages of the characters here are purely for the sake of the novel's plot and are completely different from historical fact; please don't take them too seriously!) Changsun Wuji guessed that his sister must be in love with Prince Yang Guang; otherwise, why would she be so bored as to have him observe him so closely?
Thus, Yang Guang gained another trump card in his hands: Changsun Wuji, who was also a man of both literary and martial talents. This delighted Yang Guang, who thought to himself that it would not be long before he could develop the Prince of Jin's mansion to surpass the Prince of Qin's mansion during the Tang Dynasty and make it the cornerstone of his conquest of the world!
