Luoyang has entered October, most of the willow branches along the way have become yellow, the crops in the field have been harvested, occasionally there are farmers in the field to check the winter wheat that has been sown, the sky is blue, rows of white clouds are arranged in the blue sky like the fine scales of fish, this is a season of high and cool autumn

Yang Yuanqing led seven iron guards and more than 30 soldiers all the way, he had two iron guards to stay in the Western Regions, Da Lang under the alias Li Shu stayed in Dunhuang as the captain, and Erlang changed his name to Zhou Sheng to stay in Yiwu, and also served as the commander general

After nearly two months of long eastward journey, he escorted tens of thousands of moon women and children finally arrived in Guanzhong, Sui Emperor Yang Guang ordered Nayan Su Wei and Xu Shanxin, the right attendant of the household department, to settle tens of thousands of moon women and children, and placed them in Longyou and Guannei counties, changed their surnames, learned Chinese, learned Han etiquette, and set up a residence in Tian, Yang Guang then ordered Yang Yuanqing to go to Beijing immediately to report on his work

At noon, Yang Yuanqing and his entourage entered the capital from Dingding Gate, after half a year, there was no chaos and tension in the capital when the displaced people entered Beijing, cars came and went, calmly and leisurely, a scene of prosperity and wealth

"Let's find a place to have lunch and take a break"

Yang Yuanqing turned around and said to his subordinates, and then took them into the Ningren Fang on the left close to the city gate, the square was as lively as every, groups of children ran on the street, both sides of the gate were full of farmers who went into the city to sell vegetables, only more than 20 steps into the Fang, they saw a two-story wine shop next to the Fang Street, a flag flying in the air, the name was Ningren Wine Shop

A guy had already greeted him, and with a smile on his face, Shi Ji Dagger said, "Do you want to eat and drink?" The shop has a good peach wine, and other mountain delicacies and game."

Yang Yuanqing heard the 'Dali Peach Wine' and felt cordial in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Then go up to the second floor."

"Military masters, please" The guy hurriedly invited them to the second floor, but his heart was a little hairy, this is more than 40 people, I don't know if there are so many vacant seats on the second floor?

A group of military men went up to the second floor, fortunately, the five or six tables on the east side were empty, this was someone to invite reservations, and the sergeants didn't care, they occupied their seats one after another, Yang Yuanqing sat down in front of a window seat, with his back to the window, he smiled and said to a few guys: "Don't ask, bring up all the wine, food, meat, and food, as well as Hu cakes, just serve the dishes."

Almost all the men came to serve them, and the food and wine were served like water, and the soldiers devoured and munched heartily, but no one dared to make a noise or disturb the general's contemplation

Su Lie and Shen Guang also sat at the table, Su Lie was a little sullen, he wanted to stay in Yiwu, but Yang Yuanqing refused, and brought him back, he didn't speak all the way, Yang Yuanqing knew that he needed a process to recover his mentality, so he didn't care about him, but Shen Guang came to Luoyang for the first time, looking left and right, he was full of curiosity about everything in Luoyang

Yang Yuanqing drank a glass of wine slowly, but he was thinking about his thoughts, when he saw Su Wei in Guanzhong, Su Wei told him one thing, his wife Minqiu actually sealed the first rank of Mrs., which caused a great shock in the capital, which also surprised Yang Yuanqing, and he thought that it was at most from the fourth grade

Only the wife of the founding minister has this kind of courtesy, even He Ruoyun Niang got the second product because she was a continuation, this is still the special care of Queen Dugu, Min Qiu was only sixteen years old and was awarded the first order, which made Yang Yuanqing think of the last time he was crowned the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, and even Yang Lihua persuaded him that the high position of the young man is easy to be envied, which is not a good thing, but it seems that Yang Guang is willing to let him be a young man in a high position and make enemies for him, what does he think?

Yang Yuanqing thought of himself when he was young and vigorous, willing to be a pioneer, and was used by Yang Guang to become his sharp blade against Guanlong's forces, but he offended the Guanlong nobles because of this, although he has always been a saint, but who knows what will happen tomorrow?

Thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was not afraid of any Guanlong nobles, the king's heart was unpredictable, this was the biggest challenge he faced

At this moment, he faintly heard a group of children singing children's songs on the street outside the window, "Jingxiang Sheep" went to the Western Regions without a day and wanted to be king

He was stunned for a moment, and then he wanted to listen carefully, a group of children had already run away, just two guys came up with wine, Yang Yuanqing beckoned, called a guy forward, and asked him, "I heard a group of children singing just now, what 'Jingzhou sheep......" I didn't hear clearly, what are they singing? ”

The guy scratched his head and smiled: "Oh, they are singing a children's song that has been quite popular in the capital in the past two days, called 'Jingxiang Sheep' Wurisheng 'Go to the Western Regions, to be the king, anyway, many children are singing, Langlang is catchy, I also remember it"

At this time, Yang Yuanqing heard it clearly, and he was secretly surprised, isn't this just talking about him Yang Yuanqing? He was born in Jingxiang Yingzhou, and Wuri was born to refer to his name Yuanqing, go to the Western Regions, and want to be the king, this is the key, implying that he wants to seek independence in the Western Regions, who is assassinating him behind his back?

It should have been the matter of the past two days, Yang Yuanqing realized that someone had already secretly done something to him......

After lunch, Yang Yuanqing did not go home, but went directly to the palace, he wanted to meet Yang Guang, and then he could go home, this is some of the details that his grandfather taught him back then, these seemingly inconspicuous details, in fact, are a kind of attitude problem, often at the most critical time, become a straw that crushes the camel, he can't make mistakes in this kind of detail

The soldiers were waiting outside the gate of the imperial city, and he entered the imperial city and went directly to the palace

In the Yuteng room, Yang Guang has just finished lunch, today is the middle of the day, but for the king of a country, there is no rest throughout the year, although Yang Jian founded the three provinces and six ministries system, but in the Sui Dynasty is not perfect, the boundary between the power and the monarch is not so clear, plus Yang Guang himself is a very powerful person, he concentrates all the power in his own hands, up to the appointment of the Xiangguo, down to the promotion of the county order, he has to ask, no matter how big or small, all do it himself

But in this way, he was almost overwhelmed by the heavy state affairs, although he spent a lot of money to repair the Xianren Palace, and arranged for concubines according to the etiquette system, but in fact he did not have the opportunity to enjoy it

The so-called lazy monarch must be the minister of power, but in the end of Yang Guang's dynasty, there was never a minister of power like Li Linfu or Yang Guozhong, which shows Yang Guang's diligence, or he firmly grasped the power in his own hands

Lunch is his short lunch break, about half an hour or less, he usually likes to squint and take a nap, but in the past two days he has a little worry

There are two books on his desk, one is that Shang Teng Zhang Jin of the Criminal Department impeached Yang Yuanqing for killing the people of the Yuebu in Yiwu, almost exterminated him, without benevolence and righteousness, and saw cruelty, and demanded that Yang Yuanqing be punished

Another history ordered Wushou and hundreds of ministers to petition Teng, they thought that Yang Yuanqing's wife's edict was too heavy, not in line with the habit, and asked for a reduction of the edict, followed by hundreds of ministers signed by me, most of these ministers were officials of the Guanlong department, in addition to some members of the royal family, such as Yang Xiong and Yang Da brothers, as well as the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shang Teng Wei Ji (note: the Ministry of Civil Affairs is the Ministry of Households) and the Ministry of Rites Shang Teng Yang Xuangan

But there is no one in the Shandong Shi clan to sign, the two factions are clearly distinguished, this is a very interesting phenomenon, Yang Yuanqing's wife is the daughter of the Pei family, and the Pei family is the leader of the Shandong Shi clan, she has to follow the first order, of course the Shandong Shi clan will not have any objections

From the two books, Yang Guang keenly captured a clue, Wujia is going to do it to Yang Yuanqing, or rather, it is the Guanlong forces that want to do it to Yang Yuanqing, and behind Yang Wuqing is the Shandong Shi clan, and the Guanlong nobles are against the Shandong Shi clan, this is a wonderful duel

Although Yang Guang has been suppressing the Guanlong nobles, he is unwilling to suppress them too much, so that the power of the DPRK and China is out of balance, especially the children of the Guanlong nobles control most of the government soldiers, which makes Yang Guang a little bit of a mouse, on the one hand, he suppresses them, and on the other hand, he has to use them, and has always maintained a degree

On the other hand, Yang Guang actually did not have a good impression of the Shandong scholars, who maintained the Jiupin Zhongzheng and were the biggest opponents of the imperial examination, and their influence was mainly in the local government, and the governors of most of the counties in the north were Shandong scholars

Yang Guang's reuse of the Pei brothers was also a last resort, he needed a force to compete with the Guanlong forces, and the southern forces could not become a climate, so Yang Guang had to rely on the Shandong Shi clan

This time, the Yuan family was ready to make a move against Yang Yuanqing, which would inevitably involve the Pei family, and then affect the Shandong Shi clan throughout the afternoon, and Yang Guang realized that this must be the most fierce officialdom struggle since he ascended the throne

Yang Guang couldn't help but smile slightly, if he could lose both, that would be the result he was most willing to see

When, a cloud board knocked, this is the end of his lunch break, Yang Guang slowly sat up and asked, "Is there anyone waiting outside for the audience?" ”

He saw a eunuch just now who wanted to speak and stopped, and he knew that there were people outside waiting for an audience, and the eunuch on duty hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, Yang Yuanqing, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, is waiting outside to be summoned."

"Is he finally here?"

Yang Guang laughed, he thought that Yang Yuanqing would only arrive the day after tomorrow, every time he thought that he would arrive so soon, it was okay, he had something to ask him

"Announcing His Audience"

After a while, Yang Yuanqing walked into the Yuteng room quickly, knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute, and Yang Yuanqing, the general of the guard, saw His Majesty.

"Yang Aiqing, I've worked hard all the way, I'm not courteous"

"Your Majesty"

Yang Yuanqing stood up, Yang Guang smiled and asked him again, "Yang Aiqing, have you gone home to see your wife?" You broke up after ten days of marriage, and after half a year, I felt a little guilty."

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has just entered the city gate, and he should be public before private, and the country before home"

"This sentence is well said, the membrane has always advocated the country, not the family and the country, in recognition of your abandonment of the country for the country, I specially gave you three days off to reunite with your wife"

"Thank you for your kindness"

Yang Yuanqing bowed down again and said, "Your Majesty, have you seen the minister's recital?" ”

"Well, I've seen it."

Yang Guang nodded, and took the top one from the stack of important folds on the left, which means that Yang Yuanqing's folds are the most important

He flipped through it again, and asked with a smile: "Yang Aiqing has a total of two books, the first is to take Yiwu Kingdom, the second is to attack the moon, and the second book is the second one in my hand, are you talking about this one?" ”

"Exactly," Yang Yuanqing bowed

Yang Guang opened the fold and read it again, and said with a slight smile: "You said that the Western Turks were fighting and were unable to attack Yiwu, so they sent the Yuebu to attack Yiwu, and you took the lead and destroyed the Yuebu, can you confirm that the Yuebu is really going to attack Yiwu?" ”

Although Yang Guang had a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were very cold, which involved Zhang Jin's impeachment, slaughtering weak people, and seeking military merits
