The sky will break, and the east is unknown.

A waning moon slanted in the sky, bringing a slight chill to the autumn morning, while the quiet dormitory left warmth.

Li Xiuning opened his eyes and found that everything in front of him was so unfamiliar, not what he usually saw when he opened his eyes, and he didn't react at once, and when he saw the face close at hand, he couldn't help but smile sweetly.

got up together to change clothes and wash, and a palace maid brought breakfast.

After breakfast, go to Chaolu Palace to serve tea to the elders of the family.

Xiao Houwei sat in the first seat, took the tea, looked at Li Xiuning very fondly, and said warmly: "Since you have entered the Yang family, you are the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, and you will live a good life in the future, everything outside is the affairs of men, you don't need to pay attention to it, the Yang family will definitely not wronged you." ”

Empress Xiao is worthy of being Empress Xiao, lest the bride be depressed because of the dispute in the world, and be obsessed with the identity of the daughter of the Li family, so she gently enlightened: As long as you ignore the ups and downs and political struggles outside, and make up your mind to be the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, the Yang family will definitely not wronged you......

Li Xiuning was smart, and naturally understood Empress Xiao's advice and warning, bowed to the ground, and said in a clear voice: "My granddaughter-in-law is fortunate to be able to marry into the royal family, and in the future, she will definitely be filial to her elders, serve her husband, be harmonious and concubine, and love her brothers. ”

It has nothing to do with me in the past, right and wrong are all scattered in the wind, and from now on, I am just the wife of the Yang family, unswerving......

Empress Xiao smiled slightly, very satisfied.

Another Empress Dowager Xiao is also an exhortation, after giving tea to Yang Tong's biological mother, just bowed down slightly, and was pulled up by the Empress Dowager Liu, her eyes were full of doting looks, and she advised: "It is often said that the royal family has more rules, in fact, it is less than some famous families, and it is a family since the beginning, as long as you serve your husband well and produce more, there are royal heroes over there!" ”

In the eyes of every mother, holding more grandchildren is the greatest pleasure.

The bride's face was tender, and Li Xiuning made a big red face......

I paid tribute to the two queen mothers, the two Taiyuan, and then the two imperial aunts, and then Xiao Wu and their three sisters! Everything was very victorious, only when it came to Wuji, the former sister-in-law was half embarrassed to death.

But what can they do if the raw rice is already cooked? I can only slowly adapt to my new identity.

What follows is nothing more than a complicated thing, what to eat red eggs, jujubes, longan, peanuts, melon seeds, etc., is nothing more than to take an early birth of a noble son.

For the newcomer bride Li Xiuning, the elders and sisters all have gifts to give! Seeing the happy appearance of the family, Li Xiuning's hanging heart finally settled down, the royal family did not have as many etiquette and etiquette as imagined, it was very casual, and it made her feel very good.

A group of women chatted about family life and had nothing to do with Yang Tong, so they wanted to pull Yang Yu away, but they heard Empress Dowager Wei say: "Dong'er, I have something to talk to you!" ”

"Whoa!"

The two walked together to a pavilion in the middle of the lake, and the palace maid served fragrant tea and retired by herself.

Empress Dowager Wei said: "Wei Kuangbo, the head of the Wei family in Guanzhong, arrived in Yecheng and sent 100,000 gold and 10 buckets of pearls, which are innumerable. Guanzhong Dushi sent more. ”

Wei is a famous family in Jingzhao, but also one of the representative families of the Guanlong family, from the Western Han Dynasty to the present, multiplication for hundreds of years, each house and each branch are intertwined, the family is huge, in recent decades, the Wei family has been strong with the rise of Wei Xiaokuan's room, Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Shikang, Wei Wei are all famous figures of the Wei family.

In a strict sense, they do not belong to the Guanlong magnates, but like the Jingzhao Du clan and the Hongnong Yang clan, they belong to the Guanlong clan, but they also marry the Guanlong magnates, so the relationship between the gate valve forces is complicated, and there is no way to sort it out.

But with the death of Wei Xiaokuan, Wei Shikang and Wei Huan, these outstanding figures, Jingzhao Wei inevitably went into decline, after the Sui Dynasty Zhou, Yang Jian, Yang Guang in order to set up enemies for the Guanlong magnates, vigorously support Wei, Du, Yang, among which Wei and the royal family marriage abounds, Yang Zhao, Yang Jun brothers' wives are Wei women, no matter who became Yang Guang's heir at that time, Wei's status is immovable, and Wei's support from the royal family is therefore prosperous.

At that time, the head of the Wei family was Wei Yuancheng, the grandson of Wei Xiaokuan and the eldest son of Wei Zong, and the Empress Dowager Wei was the youngest daughter of Wei Shou in the third room. When Yang Zhao and Yang Yong competed for the crown prince, because the sister of the head of the family Wei Yuancheng was Yang Jun's concubine, under his operation, Wei fully supported Yang Yong, and later because Yang Yong's wife died of illness, and the crown prince had been settled, Wei Shi switched to Yang Zhao because of the relationship between the Empress Dowager Wei.

After Wei Yuancheng died of illness, his younger brother Wei Kuangbo inherited the position of the head of the Wei family, but in the most difficult days of Empress Dowager Wei and Yang Yu, Wei Kuangbo led by Wei Kuangbo gave up their mother and son, and together with the Guanlong magnates, they waved the flag and shouted for Li Yuan. Now that the situation is not good, I think of the relationship with the Empress Dowager Wei again.

"Also, Wei Kuangbo plans to marry his daughter Venizi to Yu'er! The Du family is also ready to give a concubine to Yu'er as a side concubine. Empress Dowager Wei's voice was full of ridicule and ridicule: "Presumably Dong Er also saw their sinister intentions, just trying to make me bad for the Great Sui!" ”

Empress Dowager Wei has long seen through Wei's and Du's plans, they are not helping Yang Yu, but trying to get close to Yang Yu, and then let the children of the family influence Yang Yu as palace staff, so that he can compete with Yang Tong as a grandson for the future emperor's position, and if Yang Yu succeeds by luck, he will naturally be able to control the court, if Yang Tong succeeds, he will definitely have to use Wei's people as officials in order to block the world's mouths. So no matter who wins or loses, they can all enter the Great Sui Dynasty victoriously, and as for the life and death of their mother and son, Wei Du doesn't care about it at all.

"In my mother's opinion, how should I treat Merriam-Webster?" Yang Tong saw that Empress Dowager Wei understood everything, so he relieved his heart.

"At the beginning of the chaos in Guanzhong, I went to the door many times to beg Wei, but Wei Kuangbo closed the door and did not even let him in a few times, which was not only disrespectful to the royal family, but also had no family affection at all. So Dong'er doesn't have to worry about me and Yu'er, as long as it's beneficial to Dasui, just let go of your hands and feet to do it. For these selfish family gate valves, I see through it. ”

Mrs. Wei's back was gloomy, she was dressed and fed, and she was high, but at that time she was like a beggar in front of her mother's family, at this time, Wei Kuangbo not only bet between Da Sui and Li Tang, but also framed her son, and naturally hated Wei in her heart.

"Erchen understands!" Yang Tong was greatly relieved to see Empress Dowager Wei like this, and said with a smile: "The third brother is thirteen years old today, shouldn't he find him a princess?" lest so ghostly people always worry about it. ”

Empress Dowager Wei's expression suddenly softened, and she chuckled: "I've thought about it, but there is no suitable candidate!" I wonder what Dong Er's opinion is? ”

Yang Tong understood that Empress Dowager Wei let herself be in charge in order to avoid taboos, and said sincerely: "Our brothers can get along in harmony, and it is difficult to say about the next generation." And my mother also knows that the royal disputes are very involved, and a large number of deaths and injuries will be killed and injured at every turn, so I think it is more appropriate for the third brother to marry a girl from a small family, because the small family has no ambition and heritage to subvert the dynasty, at most it will commit crimes such as corruption, and it is not very implicated. Good to the third brother and his descendants, to me and my descendants, and to the Great Sui! What does Mother think? ”

Empress Dowager Wei smiled brightly and said gently: "Dong'er is right, this is actually what I want." ”

Empress Dowager Wei took a sip of tea, and then said: "I don't care about Wei's and Du's, and I don't want to care, but there are a few people, and Dong'er wants to reward them." ”

Yang Dongqi said: "Who." ”

"The sons of the general of the Yin Division, ** Hongzhi, Yin Mingyue, the son of Lord Guyi, Guyan!" Empress Dowager Wei sighed and said: "They originally attacked Li Yuan's rebels with General Wei, General Yin, and Lord Bone, preparing to die for the country, but later General Wei couldn't bear General Yin and Lord Bone, so he blasted the three of them out of the army, and the three of them hid in the houses with some family members, so they were spared." Not long ago, our Great Sui Army was in the middle of the pass, Jingzhao was in chaos, they took their families and scattered people into Shangjun, and then were sent to Wencheng on the east bank of the Yellow River by General Li Jing, and only arrived in Yecheng the day before yesterday. ”

"Loyal descendants deserve to be rewarded. Where are they? Yang Tong said without hesitation. Yin Shishi and Gu Yi once sent arresters to rob and kill Li Yuan's fifth son Li Zhiyun and destroy the cemetery and family temple of Li Yuan's father, which provoked Li Yuan's sensitive nerves, so when Li Yuan captured Xijing Daxing City, he killed the guards Yin Shishi, Gu Yi and his three clans. I thought that the two families were dead, but who would have thought that there would be three descendants, and since they arrived in Yecheng, they would definitely be rewarded.

"In the Yecheng Post House."

"I'll meet them."

Empress Dowager Wei said angrily: "You kid is busy every day and night, didn't you say that you want to take the opportunity to rest for three days?" ”

Yang Tong smiled: "I'm used to being busy, I can't be idle!" Besides, the Yin Shishi and Gu Yi were martyred for my Great Sui, and the descendants of this loyal minister came, and I couldn't ignore it, so as not to chill my loyal conscience. Mother said to everyone. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yang Tong got up and said goodbye.

Empress Dowager Wei shook her head helplessly, the Yang family is all like this, as soon as they are busy, they are as busy as if they are busy, Yang Jian is like this, Yang Guang is like this, Yang Zhao is like this, and Yang Tong is still like this.

……

"The last general, Yin Hongzhi, paid a visit to His Royal Highness the King of Qin."

"The last general, Yin Mingyue, will meet His Royal Highness the King of Qin."

"The last general, Gu Yan, pays a visit to His Royal Highness the King of Qin."

In the main hall of the magnificent Chaotian Palace, three descendants of Zhongliang were received by Yang Dong, not only Yang Dong, but also the civil and military officials in Yecheng, this grand ceremony represents Yang Dong's respect for Zhongliang.

Seeing such a scene, Yin Hongzhi, Yin Mingyue, and Gu Yan were very excited and grateful.

"The three generals don't need to be polite!"

Yang Tong smiled and sighed: "I have heard about the deeds of General Wei, General Yin Shishi, and Lord Guyi, they and the soldiers of Xijing are all loyal and loyal ministers of the Great Sui, and everyone is born great and died a glorious death!" ”

"Issued an edict, posthumously presented the general of the Yin Shishi Division as the doctor of Guanglu, the secretary of the military department, and the general, and posthumously awarded the title of Zhenguo Gong; Posthumously presented the Lord of the Bone Yi as the Guanglu Doctor, the Ministry of Rites, and the General, and posthumously awarded the title of Righteous Prince! Each gave 10,000 gold coins, 10,000 silver coins, and 10,000 hanging money. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Yin Hongzhi, Yin Mingyue, and Gu Yan had tears in their eyes and kowtowed to thank them.

"The deceased is gone, but the living still need to continue, now I am in the Great Sui war, I hope that the three will inherit the legacy of their fathers, continue to serve the country, quell the rebellion, and protect the territory and the people."

"Swear allegiance to His Highness, protect the territory and the people!" Yin Hongzhi, Yin Mingyue, and Gu Yan showed a slight touch on their faces, and at the same time couldn't help but straighten their waists, because they couldn't lose the great loyalty left by their father.

"But I wonder if the three of you want to join the army or politics?"

Yang Tong looked at Yin Hongzhi, who was in his early twenties and heroic, and said with a smile: "You say it first." ”

Yin Hongzhi is not simple, in history, he can not only compete with the eldest grandson Wuji, but also want to instigate his nephew Li You to seize the prince, but in the end he failed and was beheaded. As for Yin Mingyue, I'm afraid it's Li You's mother.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the last general is not strong enough, and he prefers to engage in civil affairs, but he has no experience." Yin Hongzhi said very realistically.

"Then how about you first receive training for three months, and then go to Kannai Province to become a county magistrate?"

"Yes."

"General Guhiko?" Yang Tong asked again.

Gu Yan arched his hand and said: "Actually, the last general is also the same as Hongzhi, and he used to be a member of the command of Lord Qu Tugai. ”

Yang Tong sighed for a moment and said, "Our current system is different from the past, I suggest that you also study for three months, so as not to be unfamiliar everywhere." What do you think? ”

"Yes."

"Good!"

Yang Tong looked at Yin Mingyue, Yin Mingyue was dressed in silver armor, covered with a silver robe, wearing a sword, with a cold face and frost, standing there without smiling, heroic and cool. "What about you?" he asked. Yin girl, go home or ......"

"If you can, the last general is willing to join the army!"

"Then you go to the Flying Feather Bow Ride, starting with the captain." Yang Tong smiled, Yin Mingyue joined the army, but Yin Hongzhi was in politics, which was somewhat interesting. "You have no place to stay, so I will give you a mansion and a thousand gold coins."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Yang Tong said to Yang Shidao: "Choose two sets of mansions from Yuhengfang as Yin and Bone Mansions. ”

There are one hundred and eight squares in Yecheng, all named after the stars, among which Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaoguang seven squares named after the Big Dipper each occupy two squares, the location is the best, it is the concentrated residence of civil and military officials, only give away and not sell. The many mansions in Qifang are of different sizes, depending on the official rank, such as the house in Yuhengfang, which is relatively small, and belongs to the place where middle- and lower-level civil and military officials are concentrated.

After Yin Zhihong, Yin Mingyue, and Gu Yan retreated, Wei Yunqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, Wang Shichong's envoy is here, or his nephew Wang Renze, who is anxiously waiting for His Highness to receive him." ”

"I'm asking for help again!" Yang Tong smiled proudly, at this moment, he had a feeling that he was the president of the United States.

Yang Gongren hit the nail on the head and said: "Since Wagang lost Luokou City, Li Mi and Wang Shichong have been fighting every day, and the food on both sides is very tight!" Presumably for this. Although Wang Shichong said that he succeeded in seizing power, King Yan was like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and he still had a large number of Kwantung scholars in his hands to be loyal, and these people despised Wang Shichong, and greater contradictions would occur sooner or later. ”

Wei Zheng said coldly: "What kind of allegiance is nothing more than being unwilling to let go of the power in your hands. ”

Ling Jing said: "Wang Shichong doesn't have Cao Cao's belly, these Kwantung clans are playing with fire and immolating themselves. ”

Yang Tong smiled: "This has nothing to do with us, I will meet this Wang Renze first." ”
