Volume 4: The Family Affairs of the Son of Heaven, Chapter 11, Deep in the Palace
The Shou Palace has been built for more than half a year, and Yang Jian has spent a month in Renshou Palace, but every time he comes over, he has to return to the palace to deal with the government before he has finished his fun, and he has not even finished visiting the entire palace of Renshou Palace.
There are too many things to deal with every day in a huge empire, the prince is building Luoyang and can't share government affairs for him, although Gao Ying, Su Wei, and Yu Qingze try their best, Yang Jian can't rest assured that he will delegate power for too long, plus the palace is built on the mountain, many palaces have steps to go up, and the ups and downs are too great, every time he comes, Dugu is worried that the emperor is too tired, and persuades him not to go to the farthest palaces.
For Dugu's advice, Yang Jian, of course, is like a stream, he knows in his heart, there are a group of Jieyu, noble concubines and talented people used as decorations in the farthest palaces, Dugu's is jealous, but he doesn't want to leave a handle for the minister to attack himself, there are still concubines with various titles in the harem, but under her strict management, these concubines can't get close to the emperor, which really doesn't match the name.
As he gets older, Dugu is worried that he can't look at the emperor, after the completion of Renshou Palace, Dugu simply sent most of the young and beautiful concubines to the deepest palaces of Renshou Palace, saving the emperor from remembering all day long, anyway, every time she comes to Renshou Palace, she has to follow, send these people to Renshou Palace, and the emperor's chance of derailment is much smaller.
For the first time, without the Dugu clan by his side, Yang Jian only felt that the whole person was much more relaxed, he could do whatever he wanted, he could go wherever he wanted, the people around him were eager to please the emperor, and naturally no one would go to the wrong face.
It's the Spring Festival, and the temperature in the mountains makes many flowers bloom. It is the most beautiful season in the mountains. Yang Jian quickly became impatient, only feeling that there was an itch in his heart, desperately trying to grasp something, and the beautiful scenery in front of him was tasteless.
This time he came to Renshou Palace, except for the guards brought by the general Yuan Min of Zuo Wuwei (Note 1), Yang Jian did not bring many people, and the highest-ranking official was Feng Deyi, a native of the Inner Shishe. At this time, Feng Deyi was beside the emperor, and when he saw that the emperor's face was inappropriate, his eyes rolled. Suddenly. Xiang Yang Jian said: "The emperor feels tired of this place, so it is better to go to the back palaces." ”
"This ......" Although Yang Jian was moved, Dugu's face subconsciously flashed in his heart. Hesitated.
Feng Deyi knew that the emperor was moving, and persuaded him even harder: "Your Majesty, the Shufang Palace, Linfang Palace, and Mingxiu Palace in the back are the essence of Renshou Palace, the emperor is rich all over the world, and the whole world is owned by the emperor." Go over and see what's the matter? ”
Feng Deyi used to be the civil engineering supervisor of Renshou Palace, so he naturally knew how good or bad Renshou Palace was. Yang Jian nodded slowly when he heard this, yes, the whole world is mine, I went to see what was wrong, and summoned Yuan Min, who was guarding, "I want to go to the front, you don't have to follow me." ”
"This ...... The emperor, the queen once instructed Weichen that for the safety of the emperor, he should not leave the emperor when he leaves the palace. Yuan Min hesitated.
Yang Jian's face suddenly sank, and he couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, okay, I invited you to come, you pretended not to come, but secretly told others to take precautions against me, what kind of trust do you have between husband and wife, Dugu Jialuo, you don't let me go to the back palace, I usually listen to you, but today I want to go to the last one, my eyes suddenly widened, and said: "Yuan Min, you have to listen to the queen's orders, but you dare not listen to my orders." ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen...... Weichen ...... "Yuan Min was taken aback, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his head, if he obeyed the emperor today, the queen would know that he would be blamed in the future, if he didn't listen, the emperor in front of him would let him have no good fruit to eat, and he secretly complained in his heart, caught in the emperor, but the queen was in a dilemma.
Feng Deyi approached Yuan Min and whispered: "General, this is the inside of the palace, there are high walls outside, the emperor is safe and sound, since the emperor has made an order, why not open one eye and close one eye, the queen is far away in the capital, as long as the general does not take the initiative to report, how can he know what happened to the palace?" ”
Yuan Min quietly glanced at the emperor's face, and the emperor's face was still angry, but he nodded helplessly.
Yang Jian's face was only slightly aligned, and he only took Feng Deyi and a few attendants along the winding bluestone road to the deepest part of Renshou Palace, and the palace behind was not blindly built on a high mountain, the stone steps sometimes went up, sometimes down, the winding path was quiet, and the two sides were really different beautiful scenery.
From time to time on the road, you can see beautiful palace maids playing, these palace maids are eleven or twelve years old, the earth is only fifteen or sixteen years old, innocent, gorgeous, compared to the lifeless palace here, here is much more cheerful, see Yang Jian and his party, these palace maids are curious to stand aside and look, many of them have just been selected into the palace and have been sent here, and have not seen the emperor, although they can roughly guess from the emperor's clothes, but they can't be sure, and they don't know how to greet them, so they can only avoid it from afar.
Seeing these girls screaming and avoiding, Yang Jian was not dissatisfied, but seemed to be ten years younger, full of energy.
"Your Majesty, there is Linfang Hall in front." Feng Deyi pointed to the golden eaves exposed in front of him and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay." Yang Jian nodded, the Linfang Hall in front of him was hidden in countless tall bridges and trees, as if she was a girl who was raised in the deep boudoir and never looked at people.
Coming to the front, Yang Jian looked up, there was a plaque hanging under the eaves, and it was written on the three Hanti gold characters of the Linfang Palace, although this palace was not as dignified and majestic as the palace in the capital, but it was better than making people feel warm and happy.
A row of women in brocade clothes walked out of the hall, and when they saw Yang Jian and his party, they immediately knelt down: "See the emperor." ”
Yang Jian looked at them one by one, the women in front of him were delicate-looking, youthful and gorgeous, as if the beauties of the world were concentrated here, Yang Jian was dazzled for a while, these women were significantly older than the women frolicking outside the palace, ten ** years old, two ten years old, the oldest was over thirty years old, they stayed in the palace for five or six years, more than ten years, after being assigned here, an outsider could not see it, desperate in his heart, naturally he would not play outside like those girls who had just entered the palace, but he didn't expect the emperor to come, Many people were amazed and delighted.
"Excuse me!" Rao is Yang Jiangui as the emperor. Stared at by the hot eyes of these women. There is also a little hairiness in the heart, although they are all very gorgeous, but they are not as fifteen as outside
The woman is very attractive to Yang Jian, after all, he is old, and he dares to be seriously trapped in this fat powder array.
"Your Majesty." In front of the hall, there was a warbler's voice.
"What about your stewards?" Feng Deyi interjected, he could already see from the emperor's face that the emperor didn't care about the women in front of him.
As soon as Feng Deyi's words fell, a figure stumbled out of it. Rushing directly towards the emperor, the two attendants behind Yang Jian were taken aback and hurriedly stopped in front of the emperor. Fortunately, the figure stopped a few steps away from the Emperor. Kneeling on the ground and crying loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the slave has finally seen you." ”
Yang Jian was also taken aback. "Who are you, raise your head!" ”
The visitor slowly raised his head, his face was already full of tears, Yang Jian finally saw the face of the visitor clearly, and his brows furrowed slightly: "You are Yang Yue?" ”
"It's the slave. The slave thought that the emperor had forgotten the slave maid, but he didn't expect the emperor to remember the name of the slave maid. Even if the slave or maid dies, they are willing. ”
"Alright, you get up."
"Yes!" Yang Yue heard the impatient look in the emperor's mouth, and didn't dare to cry anymore, so he wiped his tears before getting up.
"You are the steward of this Linfang Palace?"
"Back to the emperor, it's the slave!"
"I'm going to walk around Linfang Palace, you lead the way, and the rest of the people will go down."
"Yes, slave and maid!" Yang Yue waved his hand to the palace maids standing on both sides, and those palace maids looked at the emperor reluctantly, with resentment in their eyes, and turned back three times in one step, but they saw that the emperor had no intention of keeping people, so they had to go down.
"Your Majesty, please come here!" Yang Yue carefully guided the way, Linfang Palace really lived up to the name of Linfang, carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, warblers singing and dancing, rockeries and flowing water, and the palace maids everywhere were even more affectionate.
Seeing Yang Yue, Yang Jian unexpectedly remembered Yang Sulai, when the prince sent a message, Yang Su committed suicide due to rebellion, Yang Jian was shocked, one is the minister he trusts, and the other is the prince he set up, I really don't know who to believe, but it is a fact that Yang Su died, and it was after the prince was imprisoned and then died, Yang Jian still couldn't help but be suspicious of the prince.
It's just that the prince has conclusive evidence of Yang Su's rebellion in his hands, and he has just made a great contribution and returned, Yang Jian, as a father, it is impossible to punish the prince, although Yang Su is his favorite general, compared with the prince, it is still a layer worse, after the prince returned to Beijing, Yang Jian had to acquiesce in Yang Su's matter, and the people involved in this matter were beheaded, and the distribution was originally committed by Yang Sudi, Yang Yue, Yang Xuangan, Yang Xuanzong, Yang Wanshi and others all had to be beheaded, but Yang Jian still moved his heart to hide and only deprived them of all their official titles. Fill the frontier.
It's just that Yang Yue didn't want to fill the army, but cried and asked to enter the palace to serve the emperor in order to atone for his brother's sins, Yang Jian nodded and responded, just like that, after the Yang Su family of Qinghe Gong was in the Great Sui Dynasty, they suddenly died, the army was filled, and the Hongnong Yang family was greatly injured for a while.
"Yang Yue, I remember that you entered the palace in the eighth year of the emperor's reign, right?"
"Exactly, the emperor has a really good memory, and I still remember the days when the slave maid entered the palace, and the slave maid is ...... even if she dies."
"Okay, okay, don't say so many meaty words, that year was when the Great Sui ruled the world, how could I forget, but it's a pity that your brother doesn't know self-love, otherwise why would the Hongnong Yang family be like this now." Yang Jian sighed deeply.
The decline of the Hongnong Yang family, Yang Jian saw it in his eyes, and he was also anxious in his heart, after all, he recognized the Hongnong Yang family, if the Hongnong Yang family was too declining, Yu Royal would have no face, but unfortunately the Hongnong Yang family had no other talents except Yang Su and Yang Yue.
"Thank you for the emperor's concern, the Yang family has caused trouble to the emperor." Yang Yue whined again.
"Okay, I can't write two Yang characters in one stroke, if not, depending on what you did in the palace, I won't spare your life anymore." Yang Jian said solemnly.
"Yes, the slave and maid are guilty, thank you for the emperor's magnanimity and slavery, the slave and maid can't repay the emperor's kindness even if they have ten lives."
After Yang Yue entered the palace, with his own knowledge and kung fu, he soon climbed to the position of deputy chief eunuch of the upper study, but in the eleventh year of the emperor, the palace suddenly found that one after another lost items, especially a few Yang Jian's favorite calligraphy and paintings, Yang Jian was furious, and ordered a thorough investigation, and as a result, these calligraphy and paintings were found in Yang Yue's room, although Yang Yue shouted injustice, he still lost his position as deputy director, and directly entered the bottom and became the lowest toilet eunuch, these years, Yang Yue didn't know how much suffering he had endured before he climbed to the position of the head of Linfang Palace.
"Okay, I know that most of this matter was not done by you, otherwise with your shrewdness, how could these calligraphy and paintings be hidden in your bedroom, but this matter is ironclad, I can't help but punish you, and also, don't speculate on the prince, if the prince wants to deal with you, you will be dead in the past few years."
"The emperor is wise, and it is difficult for the slave to repay the emperor's kindness even if he dies, the emperor can rest assured, the prince is the prince, and to pinch the slave to death is like pinching an ant to death, and the slave does not dare to doubt the prince even if he has the courage to do so." Yang Yue's tears were about to flow out again, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, no wonder before he was transferred to Renshou Palace, he always felt that there was a surveillance eye around him over the years, he thought it was the prince before, but now he listened to his words, but it was likely to be sent by the emperor, and he was suddenly ecstatic in his heart, he was just a miscellaneous servant, why did the emperor send someone to monitor him, did the emperor have doubts about the prince?
"That's good!" Yang Jian no longer paid attention to Yang Yue, and continued to walk forward, not far away, a woman was standing against the railing, this woman was dressed in white, dusty, black hair hung down her shoulders, slender waist, slender legs, just a back, but better than all the women in front of Fang Palace.
"Who is this woman?" Yang Jian's eyes couldn't help but burn.
