The hunting ground is rich in prey, Yang Yong and Yang Shuang have already shot in half a day, except for one person who shot a male deer, most of them are wild sheep, children, as for some rabbits, pheasants and other small prey, both of them are too lazy to do it, leaving it to the guards to hunt.

Hit so many wild things, but Yang Shuang is not satisfied, this hunting ground not only has wild deer, wild sheep, but also tigers, leopards, bears and other prey, now not to mention hunting tigers, leopards, bears and other fierce beasts, even a wild boar, wild wolf did not hunt, how to make Yang Shuang satisfied.

"Prince, let's go, let's take a look into the depths of the forest." After Yang Shuang finished speaking, he rode his horse towards the forest.

Yang Shuang was so interested, Yang Yong was naturally inconvenient to object, and was about to follow, when suddenly Liu Hu behind him pointed to the back: "Your Highness, someone is coming." ”

Yang Yong turned his head backwards when he heard this, and sure enough, there were three horsemen from a few miles away who rushed to the place where everyone was hunting, this is the royal hunting ground, and there are more than ten miles away from the nearest official road, ordinary people can't enter at all, and occasionally the people sneak in to get some game and don't dare to ride horses and gallop, and enter the hunting ground too deep, otherwise they will be found by the sergeant guarding the hunting ground, and they will be exiled at the lightest.

"Who's coming?" Yang Yong muttered to himself.

Liu Hu's eyes were sharp, and he could already see the clothes of the knight on the horse, and replied: "Your Highness, the one in the middle seems to be the little yellow door." ”

In the Han Dynasty, Xiaohuangmen was a eunuch who was lower than the Huangmen Shilang, with a rank of 600 stones, and was in charge of the left and right, and received Shangshu affairs. In the inner palace, through the Chinese and foreign countries, and the affairs below the middle palace, in the Great Sui specifically refers to the eunuchs sent out of the palace by the emperor to pass the decree. Listening to Liu Hu's words, it was the little yellow gate, Yang Yong hurriedly called Yang Shuang who was moving forward: "Uncle Wang, wait, there is a little yellow gate coming to pass the decree." ”

Yang Shuang turned the horse's head in surprise, today coincides with Xiu Mu, and as usual, all officials don't need to go to court. It was only when something urgent happened that the emperor sent someone to chase him to the hunting ground.

The three of them came to the front with the rolling dust, saw Yang Yong and Yang Shuang, the three of them reined in the horse together, the horse stood up its front legs, the law shouted, the knights on both sides jumped off the horse smoothly, but the small yellow door in the middle almost fell down. The two knights hurriedly supported Xiao Huangmen's body one on the left and one on the right.

The three of them were sweating profusely, and Xiao Huangmen's face was even more bruised, and he was not a little frightened, he didn't get off the horse, but just bowed on horseback: "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" See His Royal Highness the King of Wei! ”

Yang Jian learned the lesson of the ten permanent servants in the late Han Dynasty, the eunuchs of the Sui Dynasty had very little power, although Yang Yong and Yang Shuang were both on horseback, it was extremely rude for this little yellow door not to get off the horse to meet him, Yang Shuang snorted dissatisfiedly, but fortunately Yang Yong didn't care. Raised his hand and said, "No courtesy!" ”

"Yes, thank you Prince, thank you King Wei, the emperor has an order to urgently summon King Wei into the palace." was snorted by Yang Shuang, and Xiao Huangmen's face turned from red to white. Frightened, what kind of person is King Wei, led the troops at the age of thirteen, and now he has been crisscrossing the field for twelve years, and he doesn't know how many enemy generals he has killed under the sword, if he makes King Wei unhappy, killing him is as easy as killing a chicken, and he just remembered that he was anxious for a while. Forgot to dismount, it was too late to remedy at this moment, and hurriedly said the emperor's edict.

Yang Shuang heard that the emperor was anxious to edict himself, and threw aside the rude matter of Xiaohuangmen. Hurriedly said: "But what is the big thing happening, is it just a rush to the king or together with the crown prince?" ”

Xiao Huangmen shook his head: "Back to King Wei, the emperor is just passing on the edict to the prince, whether there is a major incident, the slave and maid are not clear." ”

Yang Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, since the emperor only asked him to enter the palace, then nothing big happened, but he was strange in his heart, he came out to hunt The emperor should know that it is necessary to send Xiao Huangmen to the hunting ground to spread the decree, turned his head to Yang Yong and said, "Prince, the emperor is in a hurry, and the uncle has to go back first." ”

Yang Yong nodded: "Uncle Wang is good to go, and when Xia Yong returns, he will send someone to send the prey to Uncle Wang's mansion." ”

Yang Shuang laughed: "It's just other prey, you have to share one of the two deer." After speaking, Yang Shuang clamped the horse's belly, and had already led the guards down the mountain, galloping forward, the little yellow door hurriedly turned the horse's head and chased after Yang Shuang with the two forbidden soldiers, when the little yellow door turned around, Yang Yong saw that a trace of pain flashed on the face of the little yellow door, and suddenly realized that this little yellow door must be a horse rarely ridden, and when he came too fast, he had bruised his thigh, no wonder he did not get off the horse when he passed the decree.

As soon as Yang Shuang left, Yang Yong also lost interest in continuing to hunt, he was somewhat curious about his father's urgent edict to enter the palace, and immediately ordered the guards of the East Palace to pack up their prey and return to the city.

The royal hunting ground is located in the southeast of Daxing City, about fifteen miles away from the city, the area is much larger than Daxing City, from the hunting ground to the official road is almost more than ten miles, from the hunting ground, a group of people gallop on horseback, but it did not take much time, after walking on the official road, in the face of pedestrians coming and going, Yang Yong and the guards had to slow down the pace of horses, with the flow of people slowly forward.

Most of these people are businessmen who come and go from the south to the north, the population of Daxing City has been close to one million, and almost brings together the country's large households, the supply of millions of people is huge, Daxing City itself can not be completely self-produced, every day there are countless rice, tea salt, porcelain and other things from the land and water to the capital, and the capital also has a lot of products for export, the largest of which is the textile, since the agricultural college improved the textile machine, the capital was the first to benefit, surging countless weaving mills, these weaving farms produce silk, silk cloth not only meets the needs of the capital, Moreover, a large number of them were shipped out, making the capital more prosperous.

Yang Yong rode on the horse, let the horse take him to walk, his eyes turned to both sides of the road, Chang'an in March is not too ambiguous, the air can still feel a lot of coolness, the wheat on both sides of the official road has already felt the spring, after a winter hibernation, all of them are stretching the green leaves to compete for the sun, into the eyes are all a piece of green, in the green wheat field, you can also see some diligent farmers bending down in the farmland to remove weeds.

Although Yang Yong did not play his prince's guard of honor, when he saw that this team of soldiers with tall horses, long bows and swords hanging from their waists, and all kinds of bloody prey on their backs, they did not need to be urged by the guards in front, and everyone subconsciously gave way to both sides for this team to pass first.

The Donggong guards were unceremonious, and slowly raised their speed, crossing countless caravans along the way. Soon they arrived only a few hundred meters away from the city gate, and the guards were about to speed into the city, when suddenly there was a commotion in front, and a group of soldiers rushed out of the city,

The people who entered the city rushed to the side, and then there were two Buddhas lined up a hundred meters away near the city gate to welcome someone into the city or out of the city.

—

There are three gates in the east of Daxing City, in turn Tonghua Gate, Chunming Gate, Yanxing Gate, because the business travel in the east of Daxing City is the busiest, usually the three gates are opened together, now the three gates are held by the sergeant together, the people who are about to enter and exit shout bad luck in their hearts, they have turned their heads and ears, talking about who has such a big pie.

The three eastern gates have not been temporarily closed from time to time. The three gates prohibit the people from entering and exiting at the same time, generally only when the princes return to Beijing or welcome the return of the army in victory, once the passage is prohibited, the fast will be half an hour, and the slow will be lifted for several hours.

If Yang Yong goes out to return to Beijing, of course he can enjoy the glory of sealing the door, Yang Yong just went out to hunt this time, there is no doubt that these officers and soldiers at the gate of the city are not here to greet him, Yang Yong made a look at Liu Hu: "Go, ask who they are greeting?" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Hu rode forward. As soon as he approached the city gate, he was immediately stopped by two sergeants and shouted, "Who, stand back." ”

Liu Hu took out the bronze medal representing the guards of the East Palace from his waist and shook it in front of the two sergeants, and said in a low voice: "The guards of the East Palace, the prince is going to enter the city." Call your superiors. ”

The two sergeants were taken aback when they heard that the prince was outside, although they were half-convinced, they did not dare to slack off, and after leaving one behind, the other hurried back to report, and after a while, an official in a purple robe trotted up to Liu Hu. recognized Liu Hu at a glance, and knew that Liu Hu was the prince's personal guard, if Liu Hu was there, then the prince was basically sure he was there. Suddenly let out a cold sweat, I didn't expect to seal the prince outside this time.

"It turned out to be Lord Liu, where is His Highness? The lower officials should have paid a visit. ”

Liu Hu looked at the person, he could wear a purple robe, and he was at least a fifth-grade official, but he didn't know this person to Liu Hu, and hurriedly asked: "What is the position of the adult, can you arrange for His Highness to enter the city immediately?" ”

"Back to Lord Liu, the lower official is a member of the Ministry of Rites, please wait a while, and the lower official will return to Lord Shangshu."

The staff wailang has just been the fifth grade, there are as many as thirty-six waiters in the court, and the number of staff wailang is more, and there are changes every year, no wonder Liu Hu does not know, hearing that this staff wailang can not be the master, Liu Hu frowned and said: "Your Highness is waiting to return to the city, you don't have to visit, Lord Shangshu is here, why don't you let him come to see His Highness!" ”

"Yes, yes." The cold sweat of this member is even bigger than the prince, except for the emperor, who can be bigger than the prince, if he can be the master, he will definitely let him go immediately, at this time for fear of offending the prince, he hurriedly trotted down.

Liu Hu shook his head, his current official position is the prince's direct bed, and he belongs to the sixth grade, but there is no need to take a five-grade foreigner to heart, seeing this outsider go down, it is estimated that soon the secretary of the Ministry of Rites will come to visit the prince, and he will hurriedly retreat to Yang Yong's side.

Seeing Liu Hu coming back, Yang Yong asked, "Do you know who went back to the capital?" ”

Liu Hu was dumbfounded, he forgot to ask just now, and the member naturally didn't answer, so he had to say honestly: "Back to Your Highness, Weichen didn't ask, but only knew that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu personally led the team." ”

Yang Yong glared at Liu Hu, blaming him for losing everything, thinking that it was Wei Shikang who greeted him in person, Yang Yong was even more strange, he hadn't fought a big battle recently, could it be that one of them returned to Beijing by Yang Guang or Yang Xiu.

didn't wait long, Wei Shikang had already arrived, and was about to salute Yang Yong, Yang Yong hurriedly raised his hand to stop: "Wei Qing doesn't have to be polite, who is going back to Beijing today to make such a big party?" ”

"Back to the prince, it's Xiao Cong, the lord of Liang, who is here."

Yang Yong suddenly realized that although Liang only has a palm-sized place, it is equivalent to the land of the two states of the Great Sui, but since Yang Jian ascended the throne, in order to prevent the Liang State from falling into Nanchen, he has been enveloping the Liang State, giving Liang a large amount of property every year, and also making Yang Guang marry Liang Cong's daughter as the main room, and now the Liang State has basically become a vassal of the Great Sui, but Xiao Cong is still the lord of a country after all, and it is understandable for Wei Shikang to welcome him personally.

"When will Xiao Cong arrive?"

"Back to the prince, the messenger will report that the lord of Liang and the accompanying ministers are only twenty miles away from the city now, and they can arrive in about an hour."

Yang Yong looked up at the sky, it would be dark in another hour, if he waited for Xiao Cong to enter the city, the people outside could only enter the city after dark, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in his heart: "Since the lord of Liang will arrive in an hour, can Wei Qing temporarily let go of the left and right gates and let the people enter the city?" ”

Wei Shikang looked embarrassed: "Your Highness, the non-ministers don't know how to pity the people, but they don't agree with the etiquette, the lord of a country enters the city, and the city gate is blocked an hour ago, even if His Highness wants to enter the city, he can only hurry up, if His Highness comes half an hour late, the minister can't let His Highness enter the city." ”

To welcome the lord of a country into the city, it is necessary to pave the road with loess and sprinkle water to greet each other, not to mention that there are many etiquettes to prepare, if the city is temporarily closed, it is obviously too late, Yang Yong just said casually, seeing that Wei Shikang was embarrassed, he did not insist: "Okay, then the palace will enter the city first." ”

Wei Shikang breathed a sigh of relief: "Congratulations to Your Highness!" ”

The sergeants on both sides have been instructed by Wei Shikang to get out of the way, Yang Yong and the guards smoothly entered the city from the middle gate, and the people outside the city saw Yang Yong and others entering the city, and thought that the blockade could be lifted, and they were very happy, but after seeing this pedestrian enter the city, the sergeant had no intention of withdrawing, so he had to continue to wait.

Xiao Cong entered Beijing, this Xiao Cong did not arrive in the capital when Yang Guang married Concubine Xiao, this time into Beijing, does it mean that the Liang State was finally incorporated into the Sui Dynasty, there was Liang State as a buffer before, after all, there is a large section of the river in the middle that does not border each other, and now the Liang State is gone, which is equivalent to the Sui and Chen countries completely bordering the Yangtze River, so it will definitely break the balance of the front line.

Yang Yong's heart was shocked, and he vaguely guessed that his father's urgent edict to King Wei to enter the palace might be related to Xiao Cong's arrival in Beijing today, could it be that the Great Sui was finally going to start unifying the south.
