Chapter 385: Three Divine Decrees

The next day, Yang Guang sent someone to bring Yang Yue to the Xingtai Government Office, and gathered his subordinates in the council hall to listen to Yang Yue's transmission of the holy decree.

There are three holy decrees brought by Yang Yue.

He first announced an edict to Yang Jian to reward the meritorious officials of Hebei Province according to Yang Guang's meritorious service. In this edict, Li Che led the army to recover Baidaozhou for a time, and led the army out of the pass together with Li Yuan, and received Yang Shuang's smooth withdrawal from the pass, and made the first contribution. Duan Da, Yujuluo and other Jin kings hussar battalion generals Zuo Yin supported Yang Guang meritorious, and each was promoted to two levels; Liu Fang, Zhao Cai and other newly recruited generals were also awarded the rank of Yitong for their merits......

After the meritorious service and promotion of the general, Zuo knelt down to thank him, and Yang Yue unfolded the second edict and read it out to Yang Guang.

This second edict is Yang Jian's reply to the request for instructions on rebuilding Buddhist temples and re-advocating Buddhism in Hebei that Yang Guang had previously entrusted Pei Ju.

Yang Jian not only approved Yang Guang's request to rebuild Buddhist temples and re-advocate Buddhism, but also set a unified temple name for the Buddhist temples to be built in the prefectures under the rule of Hebei Province, all of which were called "Xingguo Temple", and specially allowed Yang Guang to use official funds to build a "Great Xingguo Temple" in Bingzhou, and the abbot of the temple will be a monk and supervisor officially canonized by the imperial court, and be responsible for the management of Buddhist affairs in Hebei.

This edict not only fully affirmed Yang Guang's proposal to resume the construction of Buddhist temples and re-advocate Buddhism in the former Qi hometown of Hebei, but also gave Yang Guang a particularly important power to select Taoist monks to take charge of Buddhist affairs in Hebei. You must know that according to the division of various powers in the imperial court in the early Sui Dynasty, all religious affairs were directly controlled by the central government, and no vassal king could meddle in Buddhist and Taoist affairs without special authorization from the emperor. Yang Guang's ability to be allowed to select monks and supervisors in the local area and manage Buddhist affairs in Hebei in a unified manner fully shows that Yang Jian is extremely satisfied with his various performances since he left the town and annexed the state, and at the same time, because of this edict, compared with Yang Jun and Yang Xiu, the two princes who left the town and the outside of the town before and after Yang Guang, Yang Guang is undoubtedly one step ahead.

After the two edicts were announced, Yang Youcai smiled and withdrew from the subordinates of the Taiwan Bureaucracy, summoned Xiao E, who had already been taken to the Xingtai Office and had been waiting in the side room for a long time, and asked the young couple to kneel side by side in front of him, and read out the third edict.

Naturally, this is a marriage edict. Yang Yue, who was high up in the edict, was full of joy, while Yang Guang and Xiao E, who were prostrate on the ground to listen to the decree, had their own hearts.

Since Yang Yue sent someone to invite Xiao E, Yang Guang didn't even look at her, and waited for Yang Yue to read out the marriage edict, so that he could leave Yang Yue alone in the Xingtai Office and ask him in detail about An Ruoxi's whereabouts.

But Xiao E is different from Yang Guang, she is supported by the two personal maids Chi Peony and Green Pothos who were rewarded to her by her father Xiao Yue, and as soon as she walked into the stage hall with a curtain fence, her two eyes began to look at Yang Guang incessantly. Before being sent to Bingzhou to marry Yang Guang this time, she also lived in Chang'an for more than 20 days, and ordered the maid to go out to inquire in detail about the appearance and talent of her future husband, and the result of the inquiry made her quite satisfied. Today, when Yang Yue was invited out to stand side by side with Yang Guang to receive the order, Xiao E's heart was inexplicably excited: after all, as a daughter's family, she is about to face the most important juncture in her life, even if she has grown up in the mountains and forests since childhood, Xiao E, who is free and easy by nature, will inevitably feel panic and uneasiness.

What made Xiao E feel sorry was that from the time she walked into the council hall until she knelt on the ground side by side with Yang Guang, listened to Yang Yue read out the marriage edict, and left the council hall with the support of two maids, she only saw Yang Guang's back and sideways, and couldn't see what Yang Guang looked like from the front.

When only Yang Yue and Yang Guang were left in the council room, Yang Guang asked Yang Yue straight to the point: "Some time ago, this king sent Zhao Cai back to Beijing to deliver a letter, begging my father and mother to allow me to marry An Ruoxi, a maid in the palace, as a concubine, I don't know if Yang Ling's envoy knows?" Regarding this matter, didn't the father and the queen mother give a decree? ”

Although Yang Yue has lost power due to his young age and has not yet married a wife, he knows that An Ruoxi is really Yang Guang's heartfelt person, so he frowned and replied: "I don't know much about this matter, but before I was ordered to leave Chang'an, Niangniang gave the next sentence to Zaixia." Niangniang remembered that the princess of the Xiao family was far away from her homeland, and there were few people around her, saying that there was a maid beside the prince, who was born in Jiangzuo, and the princess of the Xiao family was also regarded as a fellow villager, and ordered that when she went down to Bingzhou to see the princess, she would send a message to the prince and send this maid to serve the princess of the Xiao family......"

Zhao Cai's words last night were indeed true, and the queen mother really wanted to take An Ruoxi away from her. It's just that I can't know for sure if the queen mother did this, whether she tacitly accepted An Ruoxi to return to the vulgar, or did she have other plans?

Yang Guang hesitated in his heart, raised his eyes and saw Yang Yue's embarrassed look, knowing that he had nothing to do with this matter, and no longer asked him too much about this matter, only under the pretext that he and Princess Houliang had not yet married, he asked Yang Yue to give a few days, and then send An Ruoxi to serve by Xiao E's side later.

Yang Yue was quite sensitive to this matter and didn't want to be involved, so he sold a favor to Yang Guang and nodded, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

"The emperor learned that after the prince arrived in Bingzhou, he still lives in the Xingtai Office, and praised the prince for taking the imperial court affairs as the priority, and he was still thrifty, and he had to pass the oral message to the prince, and after the prince and the princess got married, they could move to Jinyang Palace to live. I hope that the prince will not refuse. Yang Yue complimented Yang Guangdao.

I don't live in Jinyang Palace, I was disgusted that this palace was originally the king of the dead country, and the residence of Gao Wei, the former and queen of Qi, was not for any other considerations, at this time, I listened to Yang Yue convey the dictation of my father Yang Jian, and wanted to move into Jinyang Palace with Xiao E after marriage, Yang Guang was ashamed, and then thought of it: Jinyang Palace is more than a hundred times larger than the small courtyard where he lives now, and if he really wants to move there, he can find a reason to avoid Princess Houliang, which is also a good choice.

The fourth day after Yang Yue and his entourage arrived in Bingzhou was the auspicious day for the marriage of Yang Guang and Xiao E. Because the Sui Dynasty and the Turks had been fighting for a period of time, the people were no longer worried that the Turks would come to invade at any time, and after a big war, a group of officials and sergeants, including the subordinates of the Zhongxing Taiwanese, also wanted to take advantage of the marriage of the King of Jin, and the big guys had a good time, so they put up lanterns and red and green in the city of Bingzhou early, and planned to hold a wedding for Yang Guang and Xiao E.

When it came to the end, Yang Guang was a little frightened: before the crossing, he was only a student of primary six after all, even if he was full, he was only a junior high school student in the first semester of junior high school, and when he thought that he was going to marry a strange woman from afar tomorrow, Yang Guang even had the idea of playing tricks on the child and immediately escaping from Bingzhou City to escape.
