Chapter 48: Resisting the Barrier
Yuan Ziyan didn't hold it up, she was happy with a snort, and said with a smile: "I think the problem pointed out by this person is very realistic." You choose them into the palace and use them as vases, and they are consumed in vain, and of course the people complain. ”
Alas, Yang Guang sighed and put the fold aside, and said faintly: "My body is getting worse, and I am already weak, which is nothing more than to hide people's eyes and ears, so that people with a heart can see the clues, and see through my age." ”
"Big brother, in fact, I am not against choosing a concubine, who made you the boss of a country!" Yuan Ziyan said with a smile: "However, you also know that the concubines and palace maids of the Houting Court are as many as 10,000 people. Let's make a straightforward analogy, if you change a daughter-in-law a day, it is nothing more than 300 a year, and more than 10,000 people have been favored for more than 30 years. ”
"I just love a few of them." Yang Guang hurriedly waved his hand.
"That's right, so other people can't even meet you in your life, what are you doing in the palace?" Yuan Ziyan analyzed: "You think, more than 10,000 people are more than 10,000 mouths, which not only consumes your money, food and energy, but also has nothing to do all day long." Women are okay and get together, that is the east family, the west family is short, how much chaos is caused! ”
"yes." Yang Guang was stunned, and said helplessly: "Since you have entered the palace, you can't be driven out, right?" ”
"Why not?" Yuan Ziyan asked rhetorically.
"This ......"
"Of course, it can't be said to be a push, it can be said to be released. The women in the palace are quite beautiful, and they are the emperor's people, so they must not worry about getting married, and how many people thank the emperor for his grace. The most affordable thing is that it also saves silver, and as for the selection of concubines for the coming year, it can be ignored. Yuan Ziyan boasted: "Also, the women in the palace should try not to be idle, they can do some handicrafts, such as embroidery and cutting, etc., and they can be exchanged for money outside the palace to supplement the family." I think except for those concubines who are not bad for money, the rest of them are still happy. This is not to say that the palace can't afford to support them, but that there is nothing to do, let them all be busy, and no one will be busy fighting. ”
Yang Guang looked at Yuan Ziyan like a monster, and suddenly got up and grabbed Yuan Ziyan's wrist. At this time, the dragon was bumpy, and Yuan Ziyan threw herself directly into Yang Guang's arms, Yang Guang hugged her and muttered, "Why didn't the sky let me know you a few years earlier." ”
"Big brother, calm down, calm down."
"Purple Smoke ......"
"Your Majesty, who will be summoned to sleep at night?" Xu Tingfu, who had been following outside the dragon bowl, asked.
"No one else!" Yang Guang said coldly, Xu Tingfu didn't dare to ask again, needless to say, it must be Yuan Ziyan tonight.
However, Xu Tingfu still didn't understand the relationship between Yang Guang and Yuan Ziyan, and in the evening, the team had not yet left Daxing. This is called a slow, if you change to the contemporary, whether you take a plane or a train, you have already arrived at Yanmen at this time, and you don't even have the efficiency of a bicycle.
The reason is also very simple, most of the ministers accompanying him are pampered and can't stand the hardships of the bumps, not to mention the concubines of the back court, as for the emperor, he must fully consider that he has enough time to rest and recuperate, and he must not be tired.
Therefore, after a day's journey, he didn't even go out of Daxing City, according to Yuan Ziyan's estimate, it would take almost a month to get to Yanmen.
Naturally, there are officials along the way, and although it is not as luxurious as the upper palace, the comfort is impeccable. Xu Tingfu was blasted out by the emperor, waiting at the door, with a helpless face, this Yuan Ziyan is energetic, don't hollow out the emperor's body.
And the two people in the house did toss for most of the night, the candles were bright, the laughter continued, and those who didn't know thought it was a loving little couple playing non-stop.
Outsiders thought that the two of them were upside down and carried away, but in fact, Yang Guang and Yuan Ziyan reviewed and folded together. Of course Yuan Ziyan didn't dare at first, the queen couldn't interfere in politics, how could she be a nameless maid?
But Yang Guang promised not to tell anyone, expressing extreme trust, and saying that he was not in good health, and if he continued like this, he might not be able to live for three years. And Yuan Ziyan has no identity at present, how much of a storm can he set off.
Therefore, the two of them discussed and did the workload of three days on weekdays in the middle of the night, and the efficiency was very high. After dealing with the large number of government affairs, Emperor Yang of Sui was in a good mood, and his laughter was much more hearty. Sure enough, men and women are matched, and they are not tired of working.
The next day, Yang Guang woke up not too late, and he was refreshed, his face was ruddy, and he drank two bowls of japonica rice porridge for the first time, and the meal was very sweet.
Then we went on our way.
The next few days were like this, Yang Guang and Yuan Ziyan laughed constantly during the day and night, Xu Tingfu couldn't feel at ease, and occasionally approached to eavesdrop on what the two were talking about.
"Once upon a time, someone raised a sheep was lost, haha......" Yuan Ziyan laughed.
"Haha......" Yang Guang laughed.
Xu Tingfu is completely confused, the story hasn't been told yet, what are the two laughing at, it can't be that the emperor was stupid by this crazy girl, right?
After half a month, the group finally came to Mayi County, which was the border area of the Sui Dynasty to defend against Turkic invasions. The Yanmen Gate we have been mentioning before is dozens of miles away in the south.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in his ears, and a group of men and horses approached this side, and when the distance was about five hundred meters, the group all dismounted and walked forward.
At the head is Wang Rengong, the warden of Mayi County, who is in his fifties, burly and tall, with steady behavior and great majesty. This person was a brave and warlike general, and won the trust and love of Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui. ”
Yang Guang smiled and stretched out a hand, helped Wang Rengong up, and said: "Why did Rengong say this, but you are here to resist the barbarians, I rarely have comfort, and I feel ashamed!" ”
Wang Rengong was moved with tears in his eyes, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The emperor is serious, there are often foreign enemies here, and it is not very safe, so it is more appropriate to ask the imperial driver to move to the Jinyang Mansion." ”
Referring to Jinyang, Yang Guang asked: "Is Jinyang staying behind Li Yuan waiting to serve in Yanmen?" ”
Wang Rengong's face was embarrassed, and he said vaguely: "Xu didn't know that the Holy Lord had arrived today. ”
"I heard that Li Yuan lives a luxurious life in Jinyang, surrounded by beautiful women, and even accepts bribes, is this true?" Yang Guang asked suddenly.
Yuan Ziyan was shocked, could it be that Yang Guang was still wary of Li Yuan?
Wang Rengong was loyal to Yang Guangna, hesitated for a moment and said: "I have also heard of it, but I don't come and go often on weekdays, but I am afraid that it is hearsay and there is no evidence." ”
Yang Guang nodded, and Wang Rengong added: "Although Duke Li loves money, he is very careful in managing the soldiers and horses in the north. ”
Yang Guang laughed, patted Wang Rengong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Rengong, I like your upright temperament the most, driving Yanmen." ”
Wang Rengong looked a little hesitant and said: "Your Majesty, the official residence of Yanmen County is simple, and it is not as wide as the soldiers of Jinyang, and the Turkic Khan has been unfathomable at the beginning, and he has not guaranteed that the emperor's dragon body is foolproof, and he also asks the Holy Lord to work hard and move to Jinyang." ”
"I've been on the road for days, I'm a little tired, and it's not too late to go back in two days. Besides, this horse is guarded by Qing, and I can rest assured. Yang Guang waved his hand and said.
"Okay." Wang Rengong replied a little reluctantly, and then Yang Yichen finally spoke, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what Wang Junshou said is very true. The previous emperor handed over 100,000 new soldiers to Wang Shichong of the military department in Huainan, so it was better to use the beacon fire as an order and let them wait for dispatch. ”
Yang Guang didn't object this time, nodded and said, "It's still Yang Shangshu's thoughtfulness, so let's arrange it like this." ”
Yang Yichen just breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang Guang said coldly: "But Yang Shangshu should focus on the Ministry of Rites in the future, and what the Ministry of War should do, don't worry about it!" ”
Yang Yichen's old face was very embarrassed, and he hurriedly said yes, and retreated in embarrassment.
At this time, Yuan Ziyan seemed to understand Emperor Yang of Sui's arrangement of this route, although it seemed to be a little far, but he could take the opportunity to consolidate the hearts of loyal ministers, killing two birds with one stone, a wise move.
Sometimes Yuan Ziyan is also quite confused, Yang Guang will review and deal with the government every day, especially worth mentioning that every day will go to the morning court, whether it is windy or rainy or cold and fever, it has never been interrupted. As for the legendary prostitution, it was just speculation by later generations of literati, anyway, Yuan Ziyan felt that everything was normal during the time he entered the palace.
Accompanied by thousands of soldiers of Wang Rengong, this patrol team has grown a lot, and after half a day of turbulence, when the sun sets in the west mountain, the group finally came to the famous Yanmen!
Yang Guang lifted the curtain and just glanced at it, so he immediately stopped and jumped out of the car, regardless of the fatigue of rushing for days. Yuan Ziyan also got out of the car and sighed.
The east and west wings, the mountains are undulating, stretching for hundreds of miles, and the gate is made of huge bricks, towering into the clouds, which is very spectacular.
"With this natural risk, it can ensure the long-term peace and stability of my Great Sui!" Yang Guang said happily and loudly, very excited.
The accompanying ministers of civil and military affairs also echoed loudly. Ancient women could not show their faces easily, but there were still many people who opened the curtain and looked out curiously, most of them could not see the grandeur and utilization value of Yanmen, but they all saw the infinite scenery of Yuan Ziyan, who was standing beside the emperor they were looking forward to day and night.
Yang Guang was very interested, although the night was approaching, he still continued to watch with great interest, and there was a chorus of echoes around him, but Yuan Ziyan still heard a slight sigh, it was Yang Yichen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Yuan Ziyan glanced back at him, only to see Yang Yichen's face full of sadness, sighing, and not in a high mood.
Yuan Ziyan hurriedly stood forward, blocking the gap between Yang Guang and Yang Yichen, Yang Guang was happy at this time, if Yang Yichen's bitter gourd face made him see it, he didn't know how much trouble it would add.
In fact, Yuan Ziyan can't talk about being happy for the Sui Dynasty, there are few century-old enterprises, and there are few thousand-year-old courts, which is an eternal truth.
This Yanmen looks majestic and magnificent, and it does form a barrier against foreign invasion, but if the monarch wants to be eternal, what he should do is to keep the people in mind.
