Chapter 567 Imperial Palace
Jinyang Cang is now in charge of Yuen Long, and it has only been two days since he took office.
All the literature and martial arts around him abandoned him, Pei Xu followed his uncle Pei Shiqing to join the party, and Xu Shiji came directly to Li Po because of his military exploits.
Yuen Long was not idle, and immediately took over from Wang Qing in charge of Jinyang Dacang, obviously rushing all the way in the direction of the grain and grass officials.
Maybe it was because he had gone through some twists and turns, maybe it was because he had left the environment in the north, maybe it was because Blue Eyes gave birth to a son at the beginning of the year, but anyway, Yuen Long no longer shouted about any military exploits, and was quite happy to come to see the granary.
Because his two doglegs ran away very inauthentically, Yuen Long found a few people from Li Po again, one was Ashina Qingyun.
This rather intelligent, but a little "lazy" Turkic young aristocrat and Yuen Long were old acquaintances and a little ambitious, so they quickly got together.
Ashina Qingyun's young friend Kucha Xu finally wanted to open, perhaps because he felt that it was unreliable to follow such a guy, so he took the initiative to ask for an order to go to Luo Shixin's subordinates.
The other one Yuen Long wanted was also a Turk, named Ashina Jichi, who was the younger brother of Ashina Jihu, and unlike Ashina Jihu, Ashina Jichi's mother was a slave and had a very low status in the tribe.
When Ashina Jihu was gradually reused, Ashina Jichi was also stained with light, and got rid of the status of a slave, people's reactions were different from others, and they directly changed their Han name and called Li Ji, and they decisively drew a clear relationship with those relatives in the past.
Maybe it was because he found two Turks in the past to make Yuen Long feel that it was inappropriate, so he asked for a Cangcao chief named Wang Chun from Wang Qing, who was undoubtedly from the Wang clan of Jinyang.
With these helpers, Yuen Long quickly re-erected the shelf, and it was not a problem to take over Jinyang Cang, of course, it was not easy to do anything big.
Speaking of which, the grain stored in Jinyang storage is not too much, and many warehouses are empty, which saves a lot of effort in Yuen Long.
When Li Po came, Yuen Long led people to greet him outside, and after seeing Li Po, he greeted Xu Shiji, Zhang Jin and others with eyebrows, and looked very popular.
Li Po doesn't mind this, as long as Yuen Long doesn't toss around, he can give this young friend a lot of things, and others only look at it with envy.
But if Yuen Long really has the heart to achieve any great cause, he will give the other party a chance, but he will definitely not take too much care of it.
Relatives are a double-edged sword, and they should be used with caution, Li Po has long been aware of this truth, which is not only a conclusion reached as a bystander, but also a personal experience.
For example, his father-in-law, he was appointed as the general of Heng'an because of Li Jing, this is very important, without Li Jing, he would not have laid a foundation in Yunnei, but Li Jing went to Jinyang and offended Li Yuan to death, and even with him in Yunnei, he had to fight desperately with the Turks.
Now he is fighting with Li Tang again, in fact, in the final analysis, it is thanks to Li Jing, otherwise, maybe he is now working for Li Tang in Shu with his father-in-law.
Then, Li Po circled around the warehouse room surrounded by everyone.
In fact, there is nothing to look at, the important thing is a gesture, the lower-level officials are like this, you don't take a whip to rush behind, they can hide where to rest their legs when they have time, and by the way, get some benefits to enjoy......
The whip in Li Po's hand was very diligent, and Jinyang Cang had also inspected it a few times, so everyone didn't dare to be lazy, the warehouse was well repaired, and there were no pits, holes, or anything like that.
Li Po pretended to open a few warehouses and make some corn to take a look, and it was over.
In fact, farming is one of the areas he is not good at, and he has been holding a knife for a long time over the years, and he has not made much progress in farming.
Of course, he is not an all-encompassing immortal, he is not very familiar with many things, but he knows that it is enough to find familiar people to do familiar things, but knives and whips must be held at any time, and they cannot be faked to others.
I encouraged Yuen Long a few words, and asked worriedly if he needed to name the little cub in Yuen Long's family, and Yuen Long told him very tactfully that the name had been given, and he would talk about it when the table was written.
Li Po was very regretful, he wanted to practice his hands first, but he didn't give him this opportunity.
Coming out of the warehouse, Li Po glanced at the sky, it was time for dinner again, isn't it too sneaky to go to the palace at this point, let others know, isn't it suspicious of ill intentions?
But after thinking about it, now that he has all the land, wouldn't it be boring to have so many scruples?
"Let's go, go to the palace......"
Xu Shiji listened with a slightly strange look on his face, going to the palace this day? The first beauty in the world...... Isn't it...... Thinking in his heart, he waved his hand without hesitation, asking the guards to follow.
Jinyang is in the east of the city, quite far away from Jinyang Cang.
These two places occupy a lot of land, such as the city in the city, especially the Jinyang Palace, although the emperor has not been here a few times, but it has been repaired several times, the scale and exquisiteness, second only to Chang'an, Luoyang, Jiangdu three, even the Linshuo Palace is inferior.
When I arrived outside the palace in the east of the city, it was already dark.
The palace is surrounded by walls, the trees are faint, and it is dark and dreary in the night, like an abandoned woman, with a bit of loneliness in the silence.
Guarding here is also the pro-army of the Governor's Mansion, led by a cousin of Li Bi, with five hundred soldiers, and it is really not enough to look at it in such a place.
But in today's situation, no one will come here to hang out if they are fine.
Before Empress Xiao came, there were only some old and frail palace people left in the palace, and the rest of the people were taken to Chang'an by Li Yuan, the former Jinyang palace supervisor.
When Empress Xiao returned to the south, the governor's mansion recruited people to repair the palace, and selected some people to wait for the queen in the palace, which was a little more popular.
Li Po naturally came here, but he didn't go in, at that time he walked around the palace a few times, and compared it with the Northern Wei palace in Yunnei, well, the Northern Wei palace in Yunyi and the Jinyang Palace can't be compared, and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui is indeed worthy of being a construction madman.
Of course, what he thought at that time was that the Jinyang Palace occupied such a large area, but there were few people living in it, which was really a bit wasteful, so it was better to follow Yunnei and tear it down......
Well, this guy is addicted to the destruction of ancient buildings, and he has not thought about future generations at all.
In front of the palace gate, not only Chen Yu, the warden of Jinyang Palace, was waiting here, but he was also accompanied by two palace maids.
Li Po didn't stay long, only said a few words to a few people, and then came to the torches, and led the crowd into the horse, it was quite far, but he couldn't go over on his legs.
The palace has its own galloping road, and only the imperial car can walk on it in the Sui period, just like the widest pontoon bridge on the Liao River back then, but after a few years, the rules of the Great Sui can no longer stop princes like Li Po, who will care about the majesty of the Great Sui?
The horses' hooves rattled through the empty palaces, with some echoes, like ghosts......
It was pitch black, Li Po didn't have the heart to take a look at the appearance of the palace, led by Chen Yu, all the way forward, and went straight to the main hall.
In the Xuanwu Palace, the lights have been lit, and the queen Xiao is wearing a light blue half-arm dress palace dress, her black hair is still tied on the top of her head, and only a gold-inlaid flying phoenix jade is inserted in front of her, and she is upright and sitting on the palace.
It's just that like the flickering lights in the hall, the whole hall seems to be in a state of restlessness, and the people in the idle palace have long disappeared, and the two female officials who serve closely are dressed neatly, as if they are much more solemn than the queen.
They twisted their bodies slightly behind the queen in panic, their eyes as if they were glued to the door of the palace and refused to move away.
Yes, the prince who divided the land of Jin is coming, what kind of person is this......
Xiao Shi was also looking at the palace door, the eyes that always seemed to be covered with a layer of Jiangnan smoke and rain, which could always easily stir people's hearts in the past, but now they were like the two maids behind her, revealing a little panic and uneasiness.
But she is not an outsider after all, she used to be the mother of a country, even when Yu Wenhua and her brothers broke into her bedroom with a sneer, she never let fear take away her mind.
Moreover, after the news of Li Ding'an's return to Jinyang came, she was preparing for today's first meeting......
Jinyang, and even the Turks have many rumors about this person.
In the Turks, the nobles would always talk about him in a contemptuous tone, but in fact, everyone could easily detect resentment and jealousy in their words and expressions.
It was something that had been condensed with countless blood, and it couldn't be covered up with a mere gesture, so she knew that there was a hero in the chaotic homeland.
His exploits were spread among the Turkic magnates in the city of Dali, and he was called the Whip of the Gods by the Turks, and the magic was incredible.
Occasionally, she would kindle a glimmer of hope if a general who was loyal to the Sui Dynasty but capable of fighting would appear...... Well, this spark of hope didn't become a prairie fire.
Whether it is Princess Yicheng's words or what she has seen and heard all the way from Jiangdu to Dali City, they all tell her a fact, that is, the Great Sui is dead, the princes have become divided, and Li Ding'an in Yunnei will not be much stronger than Dou Jiande's generation.
Therefore, the theory of heroes is only relative, for the deceased Great Sui, now the old country is full of rebellious ministers and thieves, and no one will be an exception.
But she still decided to go south and return to China, firstly, the Turks in Dali City became more and more dangerous after the royal court moved north, and secondly, she did not ask for anything else, even if she died, she only wanted to be able to return to her hometown, because she was not surnamed Yang, but surnamed Xiao.
returned to Jinyang in the south, although she was also worried in the palace, she also lived a quiet life that she had not had in the past few years, and more rumors about Li Dingan poured into her ears.
