After returning from the Shaofu Prison, Yang Tong did not deal with government affairs, but wandered around the palace city. As far as the eye can see, it is full of exquisite palace clusters, both carefully arranged artistic ingenuity, and there are no traces of carving, exquisite atmosphere, in addition to the three major halls, even Ziwei City is not as good.

This Daxing Palace was naturally not built by the 'stingy' emperor Yang Jian, but Li Yuan's loser.

Daxingcheng was officially issued in June of the second year of the emperor's reign, and appointed the left servant Gao Gong as the chief eunuch of the construction of the new capital, and the master craftsman Liu Long, the prince Zuo Shuzi Yu Wenkai as the deputy supervisor, and the Taifu Shaoqing Zhang Guo as the supervisor. By the beginning of March, the palace had been basically completed. In the same month, it moved to the new capital. From the decision to build the capital to the relocation of the capital, it only took 10 months. At that time, except for Guo Chengyuan, which was not yet completed, other cities such as the palace city, the imperial city, the palace, the official office, the fangli, the residence, the two cities, the temple and the Longshou, Qingming, Yongan and other cities have been completed, and the construction speed is astonishing. On the one hand, it is due to the perfect planning and proper organization of construction in Xindu; On the other hand, many palaces and official offices in the new capital were relocated from the old city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty. For example, the temple was built by Fu Jian, and Emperor Wen of Sui moved to build it. In any case, the fact that such a magnificent masterpiece can be completed in less than a year still reflects the genius of the designers and builders.

However, due to the large number of old palaces and old official residences in Daxing Palace, it is far less brilliant and magnificent than the new Luoyang Ziwei City and Yecheng Shenwu Palace, but it also retains the original solemn and majestic bearing.

However, after Li Yuan entered Guanzhong and ascended the throne as emperor, he didn't seem to be very satisfied with the 'old' Daxing Palace, but considering that the world had not yet been unified, he temporarily stayed, and later Yang Tong attacked Daxing Palace from behind, and burned the palace where the emperor lived. Li Yuan, who temporarily lived in Xingqing Palace, got off the donkey down the slope, simply bulldozed all the Daxing Palace, and used a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to create the palace complex that is now brilliant and magnificent, and the poor and extravagant, but unfortunately soon after it was completed, the battle of Guanzhong broke out, and when Li Yuan left Guanzhong in a gloomy manner, the new Daxing Palace was also cheaper Yang Tong. However, with the loss of Xiangyang, Li Yuan's newly built Xiangyang City and Taiji Palace also fell into the hands of the Great Sui, and now he has gone to Chengdu to build a new imperial capital and palace.

Thinking of Li Yuan's outstanding contributions, Yang Tong was a little reluctant to get rid of this cheap father-in-law.

There was even a very ridiculous idea, that is, to wait until Chengdu City and Taiji Palace were built, and then bomb Li Yuan to Nanzhao, where the four seasons are like spring, and let him build Kunming City and Taiji Palace there, and then let him build the vast and sparsely populated Jiangyuan...... After that, let him unify the countries of the Western Regions and build a new city and a new palace. In this way, the name of poverty and extreme desire will definitely fall on Li Yuan's head, and he only needs to sit back and enjoy it.

"What are you laughing at?" Just when Yang Tong was silly, Li Xiuning's curious voice came from the side.

"An interesting fact comes to mind." If it was someone else who was asking, it wouldn't hurt if Yang Tong said it, but it was Li Xiuning, of course he couldn't say it, so he cleverly changed the topic: "What about Xiaolu and son?" ”

glanced at her, but found that Li Xiuning was wearing a white male robe today, which gave her beautiful face a unique charm and a chic and elegant temperament. Although she gave birth to a pair of children, the habit of practicing martial arts was not discarded, so that she maintained her moving figure and vigorous vitality, just like the appearance of Zhuojun when she first met.

"Sleep." Speaking of children, Li Xiuning suddenly sighed, she longed for a free and easy life, staying in the palace every day, she was about to get sick.

"Do you still want to be a general?" Yang Tong understood the meaning of her sigh.

Li Xiuning shook her head and sighed very frustratedly, like a deflated ball: "My daughter is only a little older, and my son is here again." Do you think I'm still a general? ”

Yang Tong smiled: "We are just the opposite, I actually don't like to fight all the time, I just like to stay at home." ”

"Are you going to say that someone else has pushed you to this point?" Li Xiuning glanced at Yang Tong angrily.

"Of course not." Yang Tong shook his head and said: "I am used to seeing too many lives and deaths and experiencing too many battles, so I am enjoying the comfort of being with my family now." ”

"It won't be long before you can't be idle." Li Xiuning said with a smile.

"That's right." Yang Tong did not deny that he was idle a few days ago, and there was a kind of confusion about losing his goal.

Li Xiuning bit her lip, but when it came to her mouth, she didn't say it after all, she knew that the battle between Sui and Tang could not be avoided, and she also knew that Li Tang's defeat was an inevitable result. It's just that before the results came out, her heart was always up and down, as the so-called long pain is better than short pain, she hoped that Yang Tong would finish the war as soon as possible, so as not to make her go up and down all day long. But there are some things she can't do, in the end, the world is still a man's, and now, Yang Tong and Li Yuan have no way out, even if the two are truly reconciled, their subordinates will not agree, and they will push them towards a bloody duel.

In fact, between the two of them, they both know about this matter. As soon as Yang Tong saw the hearty Li Xiuning behaving like this, she knew that she wanted to ask the Sui and Tang questions, but she didn't say it herself, and of course she wouldn't be stupid enough to ask, so as not to hurt people with the truth. Yang Tong didn't want to talk about this topic, but he knew that it was very simple to attract a woman's attention, that is, to bewitch with a novelty.

When he said that lard can make soap, candles, and glycerin, and glycerin can make bitter fruit wine delicious, Li Xiuning really became interested and kept asking about the principle of chemical reaction. In particular, the pearl soap that Yang Tong said had the ability to moisturize the skin, remove spots and beautify the face, delay aging, and enhance the skin's radiance and elasticity, which made her look forward to it and eager to use it immediately.

Walked to the Wangyun Pavilion next to the South China Sea, but saw two old plum trees blooming brightly, one tree is as white as snow, and the other tree is red and magnificent, as if two slim girls are competing for beauty in the spring.

However, the eyes of the two were attracted by a girl, and they saw Yang Xifang braving the cold of early winter, standing in front of an easel and meticulously painting on the red plum tree.

"You! I like to spoil their sisters, and when they grow up and marry in the future, it is estimated that you, the emperor, will cry and cry. Li Xiuning really couldn't stand Yang Tong's distressed expression.

This guy spoils these daughters too much, not only her, but Wei Fengwu, eldest grandson Wuji, and Lu Qinghua also feel this way. And since he came back from the West Sea, his daughter has called her father in her dreams, and she, the 'strict mother', is about to be abandoned by Yang Lu.

"My daughter is spoiled." Yang Tong said his mantra, and he himself admitted that he loves his daughter more than his son, the main thing is that his son will take on heavy responsibilities in the future, and he can't spoil them, and he has to cultivate their good habits since he was a child, but his daughter is different.

"Father, Aunt Li!" Yang Xianfang, who was originally quiet, ran over with the paintbrush in his hand after hearing Yang Tong's voice.

"Draw what?" Yang Tong smiled and rubbed his daughter's head.

Yang Xianfang showed a sweet smile: "Draw red plums." ”

"Why don't you paint in your room on such a cold day?" The daughter's cold and red face hurt Yang Tong, the old father, and quickly opened the big hat and wrapped her daughter in her arms.

"Isn't my father sketching realistic, if it's in the room, how can you draw real plum blossoms?"

"Father, take a look." Yang Tong slowly walked to the easel with his daughter in his arms, and found that this girl had painted a plum blossom, which looked quite similar, not at all like the work of a child of a few years old, but then again, Yang Guang and Xiao Hou were indeed talented in art, and couldn't help but praise them, "Painting quite well, who taught you to draw?" ”

"It's Aunt Xian, and the thrush she painted, we all thought it was alive." Yang Xifang said.

Li Xiuning testified for Yang Xifang: "The painting of Concubine Xian's sister is indeed the same as the living. ”

Yang Tong naturally knows that the calligraphy of the eldest grandson Wujian Danqing is extremely exquisite, and also knows that she is on a par with Wu Cailuan, Hu Huizhai, Zhang Miaojing, Zhu Shuzhen, Guan Sheng, these female calligraphers and painters in history, but her sketches have not been seen, but I want to appreciate her works tonight, and by the way, appreciate her parents' 'masterpieces'.

"Father, would you like to draw one for me and Aunt Li?" Yang Xianfang blinked her big black eyes and looked at Yang Tong with pleading.

"Good! You two are in a good position. "The sketch was brought by Yang Tong to the Great Sui, how could he not?

"Aunt Li, let's go find a good seat." Yang Xifang handed the pencil in his hand to Yang Tong, pulled Li Xiuning and ran.

The pencil was not made by Yang Tong, nor was it the pencil of later generations, but it was there itself, just because the Central Plains people have had the inheritance of hard pen characters since ancient times.

This is the product of the drawbacks of the slow writing of the brush, inconvenient and delirious, as early as the Han Dynasty, there was a bamboo cone pen, which is very similar to the hard pen that is dipped in ink in the West.

Yang Xifang handed Yang Dong this, that is, by the non-ferrous ore ground into a circle, and then with a little finger-sized piece of bamboo sandwiched together the 'pencil', the outside is wound with silk thread, the principle is exactly the same as the pencil of later generations, the ancient women's thrush is also mostly this kind of pencil, in addition to the pencil, "correction liquid" has long existed, the Northern Wei Dynasty Jia Siyi's "Qi Min Yao Shu Miscellaneous Thirty" in the "Female Yellow Calligraphy" section, on the use of female yellow to make the technology of the change liquid.

When the 'mother and daughter' stood up, the pencil in Yang Tong's hand kept shuttling on the white paper, leaving a series of handwriting of appropriate shades, and the speed of the hand was enough to dazzle.

Sketching is the basis of painting in later generations, all beginners learn painting, eight or nine out of ten learn sketching, Yang Tong learned sketching in his last life just to pick up girls, when he painstakingly painted 9,999 pages of goddess comics, people have changed countless BMWs, become the well-known 312 bus. It's just that the shadow of the goddess comic strip of nearly 10,000 pages is too big, and I haven't drawn anyone so far, and today I make an exception for my baby daughter, but fortunately, I usually use sketching techniques, so the technique is not unfamiliar, and I am proficient in martial arts all my life, and the pen control technology and speed are far from being able to reach in my previous life.

Half an hour later, a vivid picture appeared on the white paper.

"There's no coloring pen, so that's all I can do." Yang Tong looked at his work and said with regret.

"I'll see." As soon as he said this, the quiet 'mother and daughter' ran over quickly.

When this approached, the 'mother and daughter' were surprised

In the picture, an innocent and lovely little girl, a chic and elegant female middle-aged and British female are under a plum tree, with the lake as the scenery and the cold plum as the companion.

Yang Xifang was stunned, who is the little beauty in the painting if she is not her? She had never seen herself like this, not even in the mirror.

Is this really me?

And Li Xiuning was also stunned when he looked at the sketch image sketched by stroke, looked at Yang Xianfang, and then looked at the portrait, as if it was printed.

At this moment, Yang Xianfang also woke up from the shock, looked at Li Xiuning, and then looked at the beauty in the painting, and asked stupidly: "The little fairy on this painting is really me?" ”

Yang Tong affirmed: "Isn't Fang'er my little fairy?" ”

Yang Xifang was very happy, and threw herself into her father's arms like a bird, "Father, I like it so much, this is the best and favorite gift I have ever received, can you give it to me?" ”

Yang Tong stroked his daughter's braids and said with a smile: "Don't you give it to your aunt?" ”

Yang Xifang was stunned.

Yes! There is also Aunt Lifei in the painting.

She reluctantly said, "Okay, my father will draw one for me." ”

'Poof', Li Xiuning smiled, "Silly girl, your father is teasing you, take it." ”

"Thank you, aunt, thank you, father, I'll show it to my mother." Yang Xianfang was so happy that she carefully took off the painting and ran away.

Li Xiuning exclaimed: "I thought that my husband only knew how to sketch and paint, and his painting skills were not good, but when I look at this painting today, I know that my husband is deeply hidden and proficient in everything." ”

"Want to learn? I teach you. ”

"Okay."

"I'll teach with Innocent at night!"

"......" Li Xiuning's face was flushed, but she never refused.
