When the Yang officials heard that the prince had registered their gifts, they were dumbfounded at the source of their belongings for the heavy gifts, and many of the people who gave the heavy gifts regretted that they almost beat their chests, but the gifts had already been given, and it was too late to regret them.

However, the crown prince wants to investigate the source of their gifts, but many people are not so afraid, the top grade is the mainstream of this generation of officials, most of the officials are from prominent backgrounds, some of the side children of big families, maybe not so rich themselves, can be pushed to the ancestral inheritance, they regret just giving gifts for nothing but not getting the effect.

Sure enough, in the evening, the officials who gave heavy gifts explained the source of the gifts to Li Xu, the Taishou of Luoyang, and only a few unlucky ghosts couldn't tell for a while, but since this was the case, such an official did not have a deep background, and Li Xu did not have to worry about not being able to dispose of it.

For this result, Yang Yong is also a little helpless, fortunately, Yang Yong did not want to set off a large-scale anti-corruption action, not to mention that there is no time now, for the officials who can explain the source of the gift, all the original items will be returned, and they will be fined twice the money and handed over to the state treasury, as for several unlucky ghosts whose gifts are too heavy and cannot say the reasonable source of the gifts, they were removed from their official positions, and they also took the opportunity to warn them, so that these officials should not be too greedy.

The next day, Yang Yong set off on time to return to Beijing, and there were three fewer officials than yesterday, these three people were of course the three unlucky ghosts who were dismissed.

It was already the end of June when Yang Yong set off, which was the hottest time of the year. Because he was not in a hurry, Yang Yong chose to go up by boat, there are two waterways to choose from Luoyang to the capital, one is from Luoshui to Shangluo directly, but the upper section of Luoshui runs between the canyon and the basin, there are many dangerous shoals and rapids, which can only be used for small boats, and there are many places to abandon the boat, and the other waterway is slightly complicated. First enter the Yellow River by the canal, go north along the Yellow River to Tongguan, Tongguan and then turn into the Guangtong Canal, enter Weishui directly to the capital.

This waterway can be turned several times though. But it is a direct access to the capital, and the ships can sail all the time, and the water is gentle in most places, so you can pass through the big ships. Yang Yong naturally chose to take the Yellow River.

If the waterway from Luoyang to the Yellow River is still narrow, as soon as you enter the Yellow River, there is suddenly no boundless, and the river water rushes to your face. The waves rolled and rushed forward, and the river struck the bottom of the boat. There was a snapping sound.

Yang Yong and his entourage took a total of three official ships. Each of them is a large ship that can carry more than 100 people. One of them was used to carry horses, and one was used to carry goods. There is also a fully manned ship, these three ships are behemoths in the eyes of ordinary people, but when they reach the Yellow River, they are still a small boat.

Because it is a retrograde, the boat sails all by sails and rowing, the speed of the boat is not much faster than a person walking on the shore, and there is a rest in the middle, and he can only sail seventy or eighty miles a day, along the way, Yang Yong and Yun Meier have a rare leisure time to watch the coastal scenery.

At this time, the vegetation in the upper reaches of the Yellow River is luxuriant, and has not been destroyed, although there is a lot of sediment in the river, but the river water is cleared for a period of time to the bottom, it can be drunk directly, and it also has a sweetness, thinking of the turbid Yellow River water in later generations, so that Yang Yong is quite emotional, this China's mother river, I don't know how many years it has fed the sons and daughters of China, but unfortunately the descendants do not know how to cherish, not only along the way indiscriminately felling, but also any sewage is discharged into it, and the descendants do not say that it is drinking, that is, even the bath is dirty.

If he is the emperor, the first law to be promulgated is to encourage the planting of trees along the coast, prohibit indiscriminate logging, and let future generations always obey it, so that the water of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River can be green and evergreen.

"Husband, what are you thinking?" Yun Mei'er's coquettish voice came to mind in her ears.

"Didn't think anything?" Yang Yong said lightly, even if they are husband and wife, it is better to keep some things secret.

"I don't believe it, just now my husband looked at the river so fascinated, did he think of any new poems?" Yun Meier said excitedly, the prince either does not write poems, and a poem is a quatrain for the ages, especially the Queqiao Immortal, which is known to women and children, but since the pacification of the south of the Yangtze River has made a poem about Jiangnan, the prince has not had poems for several years, which has disappointed many people, and Yun Meier, Xing'er is also angry, Yang Yong specially wrote lyrics for the princess, although they did not dare to compete with the princess, but privately hoped that the prince could one day compose poems for himself.

"New poems?" Yang Yong wondered, the woman's thinking really jumped, and she suddenly thought of composing her own poems, and couldn't help but raise her eyes forward, one side could see the riverbank, but the other side seemed to be boundless, and a white line in front of her was straight up to the sky, and a Tang poem appeared in Yang Yong's mind: The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. was about to blurt out, thinking of the last two sentences: Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. I had to swallow it hard, there is the Yellow River here, there are white clouds, but there is no lonely city, let alone not

Close.

"Your Highness, Weichen and others also listen to His Highness's new work." Lu Mulin said to the side.

"It's been a long time since I've heard a poem from His Royal Highness." Zhang Qiu Taiyi smiled and added.

"Okay, then Bengong will be reluctant to make it difficult." Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yang Yong searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, fortunately, there were too many poems describing the Yellow River, Yang Yong thought about it for a while, and finally thought of a poem, and raised his head and said: "The sun is at the end of the mountain, the Yellow River flows into the sea, and I want to be poor for thousands of miles, and go to the next level." ”

The official ship that Yang Yong took was divided into three layers, and the place where they stood at this moment belonged to the middle floor, and this Wang Zhi's "Climbing the Stork Tower" was also used here to coincide with the occasion.

If Yang Yong said that the person with the highest talent is Zhang Qiu Taiyi, Zhang Qiu Taiyi has learned a lot of things, astronomy and geography, Yin and Yang Five Elements are omnipresent, Renshou Palace and Luoyang New Town are all selected by Zhang Qiu Taiyi himself, it is rare that the poetry is good, followed by Lu Mulin, Li Gang, Fang Yanqian and others, Yang Shi and the general guards are only slightly generalized, and the Mai Tie Staff is even more illiterate.

Everyone heard that "the sun is at the end of the mountain, and the Yellow River flows into the sea." When these two sentences, he still felt that the prince's poem was bland and tasteless this time, Zhang Qiu Taiyi and Lu Mulin couldn't help but be disappointed, but "I want to be poor for a thousand miles, and go to the next level." As soon as the two sentences came out, even Yang Shi and the guards were moved, only Mai Tiezhuan opened his eyes blankly.

"Good poetry, Your Highness's talent, it is really difficult to be poor." Zhang Qiu Taiyi couldn't help but be convinced when he saw that the prince made such a good sentence in a short period of time, and Lu Mulin even thought that if the prince had the heart to compose poetry, I am afraid that the first person in the Great Sui literary world would be the prince.

Yun Mei'er was slightly dissatisfied, although this poem is good, it does not match her meaning, Yun Mei'er wants to hear more poems like Queqiao Fairy that express the feelings of men and women, but it is rare for the prince to make a poem, it is estimated that he will not do it again in a short time, and the thought in her heart is turning, how to try to let the prince write a poem for her?

Seeing that everyone was eager to let himself write a few more poems immediately, Yang Yong secretly said that it was not good, and said busily: "Poetry is just a small way, and Chen Shubao's "Yushu Backyard Flower" is also a rare good sentence, but in the end he died in the country. ”

"Otherwise, Chen Shubao's "Yushu Backyard Flower" is still the meaning of the death of the country, but the prince's poem is full of the meaning of striving for progress, and Chen Shubao has a lot of princes." Zhang Qiu Taiyi is authentic.

Yang Yong secretly said ashamed, if he really wanted to let himself compose a poem, he was afraid that he would be too far behind Chen Shubao, so he had to attack and defend, and said with a smile: "In this case, why don't Lu Aiqing and Zhang Qiu Aiqing also make a poem, let everyone evaluate and evaluate." ”

It is not difficult for the two to compose poems, but with the prince's good sentences in front, the two of them do not want to be embarrassed, so they have to deal with it, and the matter of composing poems is not over.

The boat traveled for a while, and a flag soldier came over and said, "Your Highness, a few miles from now will be the pool, and the front is asking if Your Highness needs to go ashore in the pool?" ”

Although the official ship can cook and make a fire, but now the weather is hot, the food can not be stored for a long time, generally when the time comes, the official ship has to dock to replenish food and drinking water, however, most local ferries can not dock three such large official ships at once, must send small boats to transport, Chi as a county town, docking three official ships should be no problem, but must be prepared in advance.

Yang Yong thought for a while and said, "Okay, herald, the pond is docked, rest for a day, and then sail tomorrow." ”

Mianchi, that is, the place where the Qin and Zhao Huimeng were in the past, this time back to Beijing, it is rare to have leisure, it is a pity not to see such a monument, not to mention that the boat has been a few days, it doesn't matter if they take the boat, the sailors have already been tired.

Soon after Yang Yongdi's order was passed down, cheers suddenly sounded on the three official ships, and the sailors were of course happy to be able to rest on the shore, and the official ships quickly sailed towards Chi Ferry.

Michi Ferry, a county commander wearing a seven-grade official uniform with dozens of officials is stretching his neck to look at the river, the prince's itinerary is not confidential, about when to arrive where, the magistrate naturally knows in his heart, although the prince may not stay, but they must be prepared, otherwise once they are caught off guard, something goes wrong, they not only do the official do the head, but even the head may not be able to keep, naturally they dare not slack off.

"My lord, here you are, here you are." A sharp-eyed official shouted, he saw three large official ships coming towards the ferry, and this time was naturally only the prince's car.
