Yang Jian was overjoyed and issued an order to continue to attack the Turks, so that the strength of the Turks would be weakened and preparations for the next full-scale counterattack.

The successive invasions of the Turks have made Yang Jian realize that if the Turks are not completely defeated, the Great Sui will not be able to let go of his hands and feet to the south, he thinks of Emperor Wu's fruitless northern expedition, and he can't help but feel a little ashamed, Emperor Wu of Zhou is in such a hurry to conquer the Turks first, why not because he sees that the Turks are the real threat to the Central Plains, and the Southern Chen Junchen is now drunk and dreaming of death, and the Great Sui can temporarily ignore the southward attack Chen, but first concentrate manpower and material resources to defeat the Turks, and then be able to unify the north and the south.

Although he did not lead the army, but the Great Sui was able to defeat the Turks, Yang Yong was still very happy, after the early dynasty in this day, Yang Yong did not return directly to his East Palace from Yanxi Gate, and deliberately came out of the main gate of the imperial city with the officials, and saw Yang Yong, and the officials who passed by hurriedly bowed to Yang Yong.

In front of the Imperial City is Suzaku Street, which is 150 meters wide and is paved with huge bluestone through the whole city.

Li Yuan saw Yang Yong standing in front of the steps of the imperial city, and couldn't help but sigh, it had been several months since he came back from Nanchen, and he had not visited Yang Yong, and his position was also behind, so he tried not to look at the prince, which was unreasonable in any way, thinking that Yang Yong was waiting for him here, so he had to come to Yang Yong with a hard head: "Weichen meets His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Seeing Li Yuan's obscene and panicked look, Yang Yong's heart was filled with anger: "It turned out to be Tang Guogong, congratulations to Tang Gong for his promotion a few months ago, this palace should set up a banquet to celebrate Tang Gong." ”

The prince was obviously thorny in his words, and Li Yuan was even more uneasy, and said sneeringly: "Weichen was able to send Nan Chen to envoy Nanchen and be promoted by relying on the recommendation of the prince. It's all the work of the prince. ”

"Well, that's right. Why don't you come to the East Palace that day, the Tiben Palace is waiting for you for a day. ”

"Did the prince ask Weichen to go to the East Palace? Weichen was stupid, did not understand the prince's meaning, and asked the prince to forgive his sins. At this time, Li Yuan had to pretend to be stupid.

"Forget it, that's the case, remember to go to the East Palace more next time." Yang Yong didn't mean to trouble Li Yuan today, he had to find it early. There is no need to wait until today, just looking at Li Yuan's appearance is inexplicably angry.

Li Yuan suddenly felt like he had been granted amnesty: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." "I ducked down the steps and almost tripped on the last step.

Yang Yong shook his head. This future Tang Gaozu was nothing more than that, and there was a sound of horses' hooves below the imperial city. A red high-headed horse snorted at Yang Yong excitedly, and when he heard the prince coming out of the imperial city, Yang Shi already knew that the prince intended to go out, and hurriedly led Yang Yong's beloved horse to the front door.

Yang Yong walked down the steps, stepped on the horse's pedal, and stepped onto the back of the red shadow. Knock it lightly. Red Shadow was already walking slowly down the street with cheerful steps. Yang Shi and the rest of the guards also hurriedly turned over their horses and followed behind.

"Your Highness. Where do we go? Yang Shi asked from behind.

"Let's go, let's go have a bowl of mutton soup first." Yang Yong said subconsciously.

Yang Shi said embarrassedly: "Prince, Uncle Hao stayed in the old city and didn't move over, where are we going to drink mutton soup?" In fact, Xincheng is not without people who sell mutton soup, but Yang Shi naturally knows who made the soup that Yang Yong wants to drink.

Yang Yong remembered that he had moved to the new city for a few months, but Uncle Hao had not moved to the new city, even if the court allocated the homestead land, people like Uncle Hao were unable to build a house in the new city for a while, Yang Yong was not unwilling to help him, but the old man was nostalgic, and the familiar neighbors around him did not move, so he refused to move.

Speaking of mutton soup, Yang Yong remembered the days when he was the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion in the past, and he was suddenly embarrassed, although he is now the prince, he is still happy at that time after all, and said with emotion: "The days go by so fast." ”

Yang Shi also felt something, a few years ago he was still a gangster, hungry and full, and now he is a six-rank military attache in the prince's mansion, and he has already married a family, and he will become a father in a few months, and his wife is also Yang Yong personally selected the show girl of the East Palace for him, all of which is due to the prince in front of him.

Yang Yong sighed: "I don't know if Uncle Hao's mutton soup business is good now?" ”

"Your Highness, seventy percent of the population of the old city has moved over, I'm afraid it won't be too good, but Your Highness don't worry, your subordinates have sent Uncle Hao consistent money every month according to His Highness's wishes, which is enough for Uncle Hao to live."

"That's very good." Yang Yong nodded, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "When did this palace order you?" ”

Yang Shi was stunned: "Your Highness has not forgotten, just when you moved into the new city, Your Highness gave this order, and it was conveyed by Miss Mei'er herself." ”

"In this way, your consistent monthly money is also given to you by Yun Mei'er."

"Exactly, Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"No, I will continue to send it like this in the future." Yang Yong secretly thought: Consistent money, this girl has a good heart, she should only have a consistent monthly case of 200 Wen, and it is difficult for her to send consistent money in her own name every month.

"Yes." Although Yang Shi heard a trace of something wrong from Yang Yong's tone, he was not the kind of person who wanted to get to the bottom of it, since the prince said that he would continue to send it, then continue to send it.

"Crackling." The sound of firecrackers sounded everywhere on the street, and the news of the Sui army's victory over the Turks had already spread from the mouths of ordinary people in Chang'an, and firecrackers were set off everywhere, mixed with some cheers of long live.

The Central Plains has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, extending up for three generations, almost every household has suffered from military disasters, after the division of the Great Wei, first Rouran, after the fall of Rouran, and then the Turks, almost became a mountain on the heads of the people of the Central Plains, even if they do not come to rob, hundreds of thousands of horses of silk every year, plus porcelain, ironware, gold and silver...... The Turks do not plow or harvest, and their lives are several times better than those of the people of the Central Plains, so how can all this not make the people have a bitter hatred for the Turks.

Now that the Great Zhou first unified the north, and then the Great Sui defeated even the Turks, seeing that the country that had been divided for hundreds of years was expected to be unified, and there was no need to worry about the coming of the war, the happiness of the people was undoubtedly expressed with the sound of firecrackers.

On both sides of Suzaku Street, there are mostly high-ranking households, and the firecrackers are even louder, and it is the first time for Chiying to hear such a loud sound and hiss. A little no

The mounts of the guards behind were even more circulating. If it weren't for the guards, I'm afraid the horse would have been scared away.

Yang Yong flicked his horse's head and turned into a branch road parallel to Suzaku Street, and the sound of firecrackers was quieter, although this road was much smaller than Suzaku Street, but it was also paved with green bricks, straight forward, and it was these horizontal and vertical official roads that separated the new city into square squares.

The houses here are certainly inferior to the Hillhouse houses on Suzaku Street. Most of them are small courtyards of medium-sized families, and some places are still open lots, or wooden houses and thatched huts have been built. These people were undoubtedly poor people in the lower classes, and as court officials and wealthy people in the city moved into the new city. In order to support their families, they also had to throw away their old homes and move into new towns.

There are many more new jobs than in the old city, and despite the modest houses, most of the people still have smiles on their faces, and many children are having fun picking up firecrackers from the big families in front of them that didn't explode on the spot. There are also children who simply burn dry bamboo at the door. Every embroidery knot bursts open. The sound is no less than that of a lit firecracker.

The Great Sui will become stronger and stronger, just so that these people in front of them will not suffer a chaotic era in decades. I will never let others take advantage of my position as the crown prince, Yang Guang, you have also made meritorious contributions this time, your father and the hundred officials are full of praise for you, however, you must correct your position, otherwise don't blame the eldest brother for making the first move.

The bell in the distance came slowly, in the sound of firecrackers it seemed very crisp and quiet, Yang Yong woke up from his wandering, the guards heard the bell are all shocked, Yang Shi said happily: "Your Highness, why don't you go to Daxing Temple to have a look, many masters there are profound Buddhism, and the lottery is incomparably effective." ”

Although Yang Shi knew that the prince had a slight remark on Buddhism, he had never publicly expressed his opposition to Buddhism, and he naturally did not have scruples when he spoke, in fact, Yang Yong did not mean to eradicate Buddhism, and Emperor Wu of Zhou had to carry out many debates before destroying Buddhism, and awarded some Buddhist monks official positions, and dispatched most of the troops to demolish most Buddhist temples, but as soon as he died, Buddhism forces immediately revived.

According to Yang Yong's knowledge, the later Tang Dynasty also had the act of destroying Buddhism, but it was impossible to eradicate Buddhism, Yang Yongmo said that he was only the prince now, even if he had become the emperor, he would not learn from Emperor Wu of Zhou to do such a strong move, he had to limit the scale of Buddhism, so that it would not become a burden on the country, and strike a balance between guiding people to goodness and embezzling state property.

"How far is Daxing Temple from here?"

"Your Highness, it's not far, it's only a little bit away."

"Then let's go to Daxing Temple." Yang Yong had only heard that Daxing Temple was full of incense before, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes as for how prosperous it was.

Everyone rode horses and trotted slowly, and in less than a tea time, they had already seen a tall temple, the temple was composed of blue brick houses, and the yellow tiles on it appeared to be golden and bright, surrounded by smoke, and looked solemn.

The area and construction of the temple are unified by the court, no matter how big the repair, Yang Yong will not be surprised, what surprises Yang Yong is the crowd at the entrance of the temple, so that Yang Yong has a feeling of catching up with the market in his hometown or hanging out in the supermarket on weekends when he was a child in his previous life.

"What day is today, or is it the same every day in Daxing Temple?" Yang Yong couldn't help but ask, looking around, there were no less than 10,000 people outside the temple alone, plus the people inside.

"Childe, it is impossible for so many people to be on weekdays, Childe, wait a minute, the villain will ask." There are many people here, Yang Shi didn't dare to call the prince by his name, so he had to change his words, and the crowd in front of him didn't say that it was Yang Yong, so the guards were also startled.

Yang Shi jumped off the horse, grabbed a person and asked a few words, and soon came back: "Childe, it's a coincidence that we came, today is the Buddha's birthday, no wonder there are so many people." ”

Yang Yong breathed a sigh of relief, if there are so many people in Daxing Temple, then he will fight to offend his father, and he will have to write a book to limit the scale of Buddhism, otherwise in a few years, the Great Sui will return to before the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Buddha, and one-tenth of the people in the country will become monks.

"Alright, let's go in and have a look."

Yang Shi hesitated: "Childe, there are too many people, do you want to change the time and come again?" ”

"It's just right to have a lot of people, this ...... Well, I just want to see what the masters of Daxing Temple do on the Buddha's birthday, and what those people are asking for. Yang Yong almost slipped his mouth and called himself this palace.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Prince insisted, Yang Shi did not want to sweep away the prince's prosperity, not to mention that this is a pure land of Buddhism, and it is a temple sealed by the emperor himself.

The front of the temple is a large square, at this moment a tall platform has been set up on the square, several monks in yellow shirts are chanting words on the stage, and the men and women in the audience are also fascinated by the recitation.

Yang Shi grabbed one person and asked, "What are you reading?" ”

The man was very impatient and was about to ignore it, but when he saw that Yang Yong and his party were all brightly dressed, and all of them were young and strong, and their waists were bulging, they had to retract if they refused, and said: "This is the mantra of the Holy Amitayus Light King, reciting this mantra can make sentient beings eliminate short-lived and premature deaths, increase longevity and auspiciousness, and quickly prove Bodhi!" ”

Yang Yong shook his head, if you can get so much just by chanting a mantra, how can there be someone who dies young? Leaving the crowd chanting mantras, Yang Yong stepped directly into the temple.

As soon as you enter the temple, you will see a tall and fat, smiling sitting Buddha, Yang Yong knows that this is Maitreya Buddha, known as the future Buddha, there are countless incense burning in front of this Buddha, emitting a burst of incense smell.

Yang Yong visually examined, if this Buddha is all solid, it will use no less than tens of thousands of catties of copper, and if it is used to melt and cast copper coins, it will be at least more than 5,000 yuan, and the future Buddha is still so huge, Shakyamuni Buddha must be bigger, not to mention the past Buddha, many Venerables, Arhats......

"Distinguished guests stay!" Yang Yong's face just showed a hesitant look, and he was about to go inside, but was stopped by a voice, Yang Yong turned his head to look, only to see a white-eyed old monk standing next to Maitreya Buddha just now, was bowing his head and saluting himself, Yang Yong was surprised in his heart, just now I obviously didn't see anyone next to Maitreya Buddha, where did this old monk come from.
