The people of Chang'an can't feel the tension at the top, they only feel that the days are getting better day by day, and no one can threaten the Great Sui and Chang'an; The Turkic Jieli Khan now lives in Chang'an, and sometimes he can be seen going out to hunt, and the carriage with the wolf's head totem often appears on Suzaku Street. But today, it happened that Jieli's carriage happened to meet the convoy of the king of Chu's return, that is, he was hiding on the side of the road, and he was still seen, and an officer came to Jieli's carriage and said that the king of Chu was invited.

Jieli is now a subordinate of King Chu, so he can only go over helplessly, but he didn't expect to open the curtain of the car and see the gloomy face of Queen Xiao; Jieli is proficient in the culture of the Central Plains, and immediately knew that he had been fooled, and he saw that Empress Xiao was talking about etiquette, and he was very knowledgeable. No matter what he does today, it will become a topic on the lips of many people, and it is Yang Chong, the king of Yue, or Du Fuwei, the king of Chu, who is offended.

Jie Li was ruthless, stood in front of the carriage and bowed, and said loudly: "See the King of Chu." ”

Li Baiyao and the others on the side were dumbfounded, everything was calculated, but they didn't expect that they would choose to be blind as Jieli; Yang Gaoping laughed crisply and said: "An Lehou, forgive me, my subordinates were so busy that they forgot that the king of Chu had changed the carriage, and the king of Chu was in a carriage behind. ”

Jieli saluted again and said: "See the princess, it is the lower official who is abrupt, and the lower official will go to see the king of Chu." ”

At this moment, both sides of Suzaku Avenue are already crowded with ordinary people, and in the carriages parked on the side road, there are people sticking their heads to watch; When he arrived in front of the carriage behind, Jieli saluted Du Fuwei in front of everyone's eyes, his face was tepid, and he did not look embarrassed. Jiao Jun squeezed in the crowd and secretly praised, King Yue was right, Jieli is a generation of heroes, even if he is trapped in Chang'an now, he still can't be ignored.

Jieli bowed, and it was Du Fuwei who was embarrassed, so he had to smile aloud and said: "An Lehou is exempt, when you are free, please come to the Chu Palace." ”

Jieli smiled and agreed, got up and went back to his carriage; The convoy of the King of Chu continued to move forward, and the onlookers dispersed, but the story soon turned into a different version and spread through the streets and alleys of Chang'an. Du Fuwei did his duty as a son-in-law, and took Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to his mansion to settle down, so that Wei Shuhuan, who greeted him at the gate of the mansion, couldn't cry or laugh, Yang Zhengdao was the one who was ready to be crowned the king, so he entered Chang'an without saying hello, and he was still living in the king of Chu.

When the political hall learned that Du Fuwei had returned to the Chu Palace, the bigwigs immediately went back to their respective homes, and only Huangfu Wuyi and Yang Gang stopped Yang Chong; Wei Yunqi went to Shandong, Huangfu Wuyi returned to the Imperial History Observatory as the Imperial History Doctor, and Shangshu Province no longer set up left and right Cheng, only Shangshu Zhongcheng Duhu Huaien alone. Huangfu Wuyi and Yang Gang understood that Du Fuwei's hand seemed to be ugly for Yang Chong, but Yang Zhengdao's matter of sealing the king must have been in vain.

It turned out that as long as Yang Zhengdao stayed in Yulin City with peace of mind, it was possible to inherit Yang Jin's King of Qi and use Yulin City as a fief; But now that they have entered Beijing without authorization, Yang Chong, Cui Chuzhi and others will definitely not want to tell stories like Yang Dong in the future, and it is a question of whether Yang Shanjing and Duhu, the head of Guanwai Dao, will leave Yulin City to Yang Shanjing. Huangfu Wuyi's current attitude has taken a step back a lot, whether there is an emperor or not, and who will be the emperor will be left in the future, and now that Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao have returned to Beijing, they should decide what etiquette to treat.

But Huangfu Wuyi had a headache, because Yang Chong had already prepared to deal with Du Fuwei's hand, leaving Yun Dingxing, Pei Lian, Yu Xuan, Feng Deyi, Pei Ju and Huangfu Wuyi and Yang Gang to deal with this matter; Yang Daoxuan and Du Yan, who were originally arranged, were already unwell and ran away first. These people were either the heroes who rebelled against Sui back then, or the rebel ministers who betrayed Yang Guang, and Huangfu Wuyi could know the final result with his feet.

In desperation, Huangfu Wuyi could only stop Yang Chong: "King Yue, I know that this matter was mishandled by Du Fuwei and Yang Zhengdao, and Du Fuwei exceeded his authority; But the people have already arrived in Chang'an, and the common people know that Empress Xiao and the grandson of the Son of Heaven have returned, and if they are not handled well, they will make people discuss. ”

Feng Deyi shook his head and said: "Lord Huangfu is too worried, the Yang Tong brothers have lived in Chang'an for many years, no matter whether they leave or stay, no one pays attention, and now the people pay attention to Yang Zhengdao, because he and Shi Bi, Chu Luo, and Jieli have joined forces to invade Hedong and Guanzhong many times, since they have returned, we must always give a conclusion, whether it was the initiative of Empress Xiao or Yang Zhengdao's voluntariness." ”

Yu Xuan immediately objected and said: "Yang Zhengdao is just a child less than ten years old, he can't be the master, everything should be Empress Xiao's idea." ”

Of course, Huangfu Wuyi understood that these two people were singing double reeds, and the red and white faces were all occupied, just waiting for him to jump into it; Yang Gang defended: "At that time, Chang'an Luoyang was in the hands of Li Yuan and Wang Shichong, and Empress Xiao was worried about being murdered by Yu Wenhua, so she went to Dingxiang for refuge. When it comes to the Turkic army, everything cannot be deceived. ”

Yu Xuan shook his head and said: "At that time, Yang Tong and Qu Tutong were in Liyang and Changping, which were much closer than Dingxiang County; After we recovered Chang'an and Zhuojun, we asked them to come back several times but were refused, and they insisted on joining forces with Jieli to disturb the Central Plains, which was an unforgivable crime. If they are allowed to do nonsense, it will mess up the hearts of the soldiers; Yang Tong ran away, and now Jiangnan and Lingnan are in a mess because of this, we can't repeat the mistakes of the past, it is better to treat them as if they are here to visit their relatives and wait for them to go back. ”

Pei Xiao said with a calm face: "Lord Huangfu, Lord Yang, I had an agreement with Yang Shanjing at the beginning, Yang Zhengdao arrived in Chang'an, it is a rich and noble family, and the court will not consider it." He is just a child now, it's not worth bothering him, find a side hall to house Empress Xiao, and Yang Zhengdao will reward another mansion. ”

If this is the case, Yang Guang's face will be lost, and Yang Gang said in a low voice: "King Yue, it is precisely because Yang Zhengdao is a child that he can't be forced too hard, so it is better to kill him, so as not to leave a shadow in his heart, and make waves like Yang Yu in the future." ”

Yang Gang naturally knew that Yang Chong would not kill Yang Zhengdao, and if he was a commodity like Du Fuwei, Yang Gang would never say such a thing; Yang Chong didn't have a smile on his face, and said solemnly: "Yang Gang, what if Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao talk nonsense, we can't send people to watch them every day, so I'm willing to leave a bad name and send them back to Yulin City." It is impossible for the negotiated things to be changed because of Du Fuwei, we can ignore Xiao's visit to relatives later, if Yang Zhengdao does not return to Yulin City within a month, Yulin will become a county, and I will send an iron factory to Yang Zhengdao, so that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. ”
