Chapter Fifty-Eight: Traveling Away
After sending the two of them, Yang Tian no longer frequently went out of the house, mostly practiced martial arts by himself in the Guogong Mansion, occasionally went out to see Uncle Hao, basically took Yang Ying with him, and sometimes went to the original courtyard of the green monkey to take a look at Yang Shi and Yang Miao, and left a little money and goods for the three injured to continue to treat, when he went to see Yang Shi and them, Yang Tian went alone.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, Yang Tian has not received a letter from Sun Qing, but Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty returned to Chang'an, the beginning of the expedition to Qi was carried out very smoothly, the Zhou army even went down several cities, and Cui Jingsong, the assassin of Jinzhou in the Qi State, directly asked Emperor Wu of Zhou to surrender, and under Cui Jingsong's internal response, the Zhou army also took Pingyang.
After taking Pingyang, the State of Qi finally reacted, and Emperor Gao Wei personally led reinforcements to Pingyang, and Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, saw that the Qi army was prosperous, regardless of the opposition of the generals, withdrew the main force from Jinzhou, leaving only 10,000 people to defend, and led the army back to Chang'an to prepare for rest.
It's just that Emperor Wu of Zhou quickly realized that he had made a big mistake, after the retreat of the Zhou army, the Qi army began to besiege the newly captured Jinzhou, Pingyang and other cities of the Zhou army, Emperor Wu of Zhou stayed in Chang'an for less than half a month, and had to personally lead the army to attack, this time the two sides no longer retreated, on the periphery of Pingyang, 80,000 Zhou troops and nearly 100,000 Qi troops fought together, the Qi army was defeated, was beheaded more than 10,000 and retreated to Jinyang, and the Zhou army took advantage of the situation to march on Jinyang.
When the news of the victory of the Zhou army reached Chang'an, it was almost the end of the year, and the people of Chang'an who got the news were enthusiastic, and the market in Chang'an was also prosperous.
It's just the battle of Pingyang, although the Zhou army won a big victory, but it also inevitably lost thousands of people, and many Chang'an people who had people on the front line began to secretly pray to God and Buddha to bless their relatives to be safe.
Yang Jian, as the commander of the Third Army on the right, of course the Dugu clan does not need to worry about the safety of his relatives like ordinary people, but it is approaching the end of the year, but the male owner of the family is far away on the battlefield, but he can't help but miss it in his heart. For Yang Tian, the Yang Ying brothers paid more attention.
On this day, Yang Tian had just finished practicing his sword, and Ah Xiang, the maid next to the Dugu clan, hurriedly walked over: "Eldest prince, Madame called you, hurry up to the hall." ”
Yang Tian put away the sword, threw it to Sun Er beside him, and said, "Sister Xiang, what's the matter?" ”
Ah Xiang laughed: "It's a good thing to return to the prince, the prince's mansion sent someone to spread the word, and the eldest princess will return to the princess's mansion to visit relatives in three days." ”
"Three days later, what is that mother asking me to do now?"
Ah Xiang sighed: "The eldest prince, the princess loves you the most, every time you go back to the house, you have to reward the eldest prince with a lot of things, your red shadow is given to you by the princess, you have to jump with joy when you heard that the princess is coming, how can you be so calm this time." ”
Yang Tiancong woke up, only knew that there was this sister, who had never met, and of course there was no family affection, seeing that Ah Xiang was puzzled, he had to say: "I was still young before, but now that I have grown up, of course I can't be like before." ”
Ah Xiang looked Yang Tian up and down: "Well, the eldest prince has grown a lot taller, the princess must be happy to see it, I don't know what rare things will be rewarded, let's go, maybe the prince will come this time, and Madame must have a lot to explain." ”
Yang Tian shook his head: "Your Majesty is not here, the crown prince is a prisoner of the country, how can he move lightly." ”
Ah Xiang said: "No matter, anyway, it's a big deal for the crown princess to come, come with me." ”
Yang Tian had to follow behind Ah Xiang and came to the hall in the middle, Yang Ying, Yang Jun, Yang Xiu, and Yang Liang were also brought one after another, and the guards and servants of the Guogong Mansion were all summoned, and they stood in a large area in the courtyard, with hundreds of people.
The guards and servants were whispering in the courtyard, with a happy face, obviously getting the news that the crown princess was going back to her parents' house, for them, the princess going back to her parents' house is obviously a good thing, the food in the past few days will be much better immediately, and after receiving the princess, each person can also get a red envelope.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Dugu clan began to call in the leaders of the family and the guards one by one, and ordered the things to be done in the past few days, first of all, all the courtyards must be thoroughly cleaned, and no dirt must be left, and all kinds of red cloths and lanterns must be bought and sold...... At that time, the entire Guogong Mansion will be decorated in a festive color, and the crown princess will stay for a Chinese meal, and all kinds of rare delicacies will be prepared one by one.
The Dugu clan arranged them one by one, in good order, Ah Xiang and Ah Lan acted as the general managers, preparing money and things for each handling personnel, Yang Tian was bored, and after a rough calculation on the side, the expenses of the Guogong Mansion would be no less than a thousand in the blink of an eye.
The distribution was properly distributed, and the Dugu clan encouraged the personnel of the entire Guogong Mansion before letting everyone disperse, leaving only Yang Tian's brothers, Ah Xiang, and Ah Lan in the hall.
Dugu turned around and instructed Yang Tian: "Cut down the land, you are the boss, when the crown princess comes, you have to set an example for your brothers, and you must not lose etiquette." ”
"Mother, I know, there will be rules then."
Dugu nodded: "Don't be too restrained, the crown princess is your sister in the end, she loves you the most, you just need to make the crown princess happy." ”
The royal family has no family affection, not to mention that Dugu is not the biological mother of the crown princess, in the past, when the princess returned home, it was the husband and wife who greeted her, this time Yang Jian was not at home, and everything was pressed on Dugu's body, Dugu couldn't help but be cautious, so as to make people not pick out.
Dugu turned to Yang Ying again: "Amo, the crown princess is back, no matter what rewards you, you are not allowed to pester the princess to ask for things." ”
Yang Ying pouted, unhappy in her heart, and reluctantly agreed: "Yes, mother." ”
When the princess came back, he was the happiest in the family, when the princess got married, Yang Jun was still young, Yang Xiu and Yang Liang were not born yet, although they were in the same capital, they didn't see each other once a year, naturally there was no image, only Yang Ying remembered that every time the princess came home, the eldest brother and he could get a lot of benefits.
However, the crown princess's feelings for her eldest brother are still deeper, if he doesn't entangle, the reward he gets is far inferior to that of the eldest brother, when Yang Jian was in the past, he naturally wouldn't care about this, but Dugu's family couldn't ignore it.
After Dugu's instructions again, they let their brothers leave, and in the past three days, the entire Guogong Mansion was in full swing, and the Guogong Mansion was cleaned and newly furnished.
Three days passed quickly, and early in the morning, Yang Tian was called, the door of the Guogong Mansion was wide open, and the Dugu clan personally took the five Yang Tian brothers to wait at the door to welcome the arrival of the crown princess.
