Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty sat on the observation tower of Longshou Pond and was relaxed, the Longshou Pond was not alarmed, the sky was blue, and the shore was lush and green; There are flocks of birds flying by the pool, only the pigeons are the least afraid of people, there are palace maids to feed, and the pigeons take the initiative to fly to the hands of people from time to time. The water surface is still and the shadow is still sinking, and suddenly rows of water columns gush out, scattering into water splashes in the air, and the sun shines brightly; The water column fell, and the surface of the water returned to calm, and after a while, it erupted again.

Yang Gaoping, the princess of Xiangyang, will feed the pigeons, and run around to see the fountain, having fun; Empress Xiao, Yang Xuan, King of Qi, Yang Ciyou, Princess of Nanyang, and other family members sat around Yang Guang, Yang Guang smiled and said: "It's a pity, if Yang Chong didn't go to Gaochang, the Jinyang Palace could be handed over to him to build later." Just this fountain, He Chou and Yu Wenkai were surprised when they saw it, the Han Dynasty had been lost for a long time, but it reappeared in Yang Chong's hands, this kid is an embryo who is a craftsman. ”

Empress Xiao smiled and said, "I know that he is a craftsman, and you still sent him to be a taishou?" ”

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh." Yang Guang said disapprehantly: "Yang Chong is a good cook, I heard that half of the dishes in Fengle Building

It was he who figured it out, whether Gaochang is a feast or bitter vegetables, it depends on the craftsmanship of Yang Chong, the chef. ”

Princess Nanyang was worried: "I'm afraid that no one will do those county orders." ”

Nanyang Princess Yang Ciyou is helping Yang Chong to speak, no matter how far away the county order is, there are people to do it, the problem is that Yang Chong is from a poor family, there are almost no suitable candidates, it is likely that the candidates nominated by themselves are denied by the center, and others do not mention the candidates at all. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty drank a glass of wine and laughed: "Since Yang Chong is willing to be this county guard, then he has to think of all the consequences. ”

Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, said disdainfully: "There is no county order, Yang Chong happens to be temporarily acting as his own person. ”

This is a common method used by the military to settle in the field, once the officials sent by the imperial court are driven away from the conflict with the military, the military generals will appoint officers to take charge of them and do mischief in the area under their jurisdiction; Yang Guang's face was slightly gloomy, this was the content that had been disputed in the center, otherwise Li Yu would not have been appointed as the commander of Jiaohe County. A fast horse came running, Zhang Yuan went downstairs to take the official letter and handed it to Yang Guang and said: "Yang Chong proposed two counties for candidates, and it has been passed. ”

Even Yang Guang was stunned, Su Wei Pei Ju was so good at talking? Yang Guang picked up the fold and looked at it carefully and said, "This kid is really slippery." Did you know? Yang Chong nominated Du Yan and Fang Xuanling as county magistrates, one is the son-in-law of the Jingzhao Du family, and the other is the son-in-law of the Fan Yang Lu family, and the qualifications are sufficient in all aspects, so the center passed at once. ”

Yang Yan felt very uncomfortable, Yang Guang said that this kid's intimacy was in his mouth, Yang Chong seemed to be his son, Yang Yun asked curiously: "These two people are from a family, so they are willing to be Yang Chong's subordinates, and they are not afraid of jokes." ”

"What's unwilling, Zhang Yuan, tell King Qi." Yang Guang was suddenly unhappy, what about the children of the family; Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "King Qi doesn't know, Du Yan and Wei Fusi are good friends, but they are just bad, but he is convinced that Yang Chong, it is said that in order to see that the earth is round, he is willing to sell the restaurant to Yuhaizhai for a penny; Fang Xuanling's cousin Fang Yiwu was Yang Chong's subordinate in the Ministry of Rites, and Fang Yiwu resigned in the Ministry of Rites at the same time and went to Gaochang with Yang Chong, presumably willingly. ”

Yang Hui, the king of Qi, is even more uncomfortable, I was born in the emperor's family, why is no one willing to follow me like this? So Yang Yan said: "Things gather like people and people are divided into groups, and these people are afraid that they are also cunning." ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Fang Xuanling is not familiar with it, Du Yan is really such a person, when he was a teenager, he and Wei Fusi wanted to learn from Su Wei, lived in seclusion in Taibai Mountain to make a name for themselves, and was exiled to Jiangnan by Gaozu. ”

Nanyang Princess Yang Ciyou saw that her brother still wanted to ask, and sighed secretly, Zhang Yuan brought Wei Fusi with him in every sentence, why don't you understand, the worse you say Du Yan, it means that Wei Fusi is worse, and Wei Fusi, who is a member of the Inner History House, is on the bar with his father in order to make you the prince, and the current situation can be described as hanging by a thread.

Empress Xiao relieved the siege and said: "Yang Chong still has some ability, but he is still two county orders away. ”

Yang Guang looked at the smoke in the distance, and said leisurely: "What Yan'er said is right, Yang Chong, this kid is cunning, and he is not ready to nominate the remaining two, and the people in the center will arrange it for him by tomorrow morning at the latest." ”

King Yang of Qi asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

Yang Ciyou interjected and said: "Brother, you forgot, Yang Chong is now a member of the Hongnong Yang family, I don't know how many people in the clan want to ask for a background, at first they waited for Yang Chong to open their mouths to ask for help, but now Yang Chong has found two county orders in one day outside, will they still wait?" What's more, there are also people from the Cui family and the Duhu family. ”

Nanyang princess Yang Ciyou automatically filtered the Yuwen family, but who didn't know the relationship between Yang Chong and the Yuwen family; Qi King Yang Yan said in disbelief: "This is also too simple. ”

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty glanced at the King of Qi quietly and said, "So you must know that some things look simple, but they are actually complicated; Some things seem complicated, but they are actually very simple. Let me ask you, it has been more than two months since Yu Wenshi sent the four-wheeled carriage to the Qi Palace, how is your car dealership doing? ”

How? Qi King Yang Yan opened his mouth and couldn't speak, it turned out that Yun Dingxing and Li Min, who were coaxing, were very interested when the carriage was delivered, but they gave up after thinking about it for less than five days, especially Yun Dingxing didn't even open the door in the end. If it weren't for Yu Wenshi and running to Yang Chong's warehouse and bringing all the spare parts that Yang Chong had made, the carriage would not even be able to get out of the door now, just like that, Huangfu Chen said that the carriage could go out twice at most.

Yang Guang said bitterly: "You should understand by now that there are people around you, procrastinating on every little thing." ”

Yang Jun, the king of Qi, blushed all of a sudden, instinctively thinking that his father was insinuating that he was talking about himself, and Yang Yong's mood was instantly bad. During the period of coming to Chang'an, Yang Hui of the Wei family and the ministers of the scholar clan who followed him could see it clearly, but no matter how turbulent the public opinion and the recital were, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty turned a blind eye; Originally, they all thought that Yang Guang would have to retreat for the peace of the country in the end, but Gaochang's victory and the rainbow like the rising sun a few days ago made everyone understand that Yang Guang's throne was unshakable.

Yang Guang saw the unyielding light in Yang Xuan's eyes, and finally pinched away his father's love, restored the coldness of an emperor, and turned his head to look at Princess Xiangyang who was laughing by the dragon head pool; Empress Xiao's heart trembled, she was too familiar with Yang Guang's actions, and the last bit of hope for Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, was gone. Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help but hate Yang Chong a little, why did a poor family do so well? You can't be subtle.
