Chapter 51: Borrowing Grain from the East Palace (I)
(Today's shift, but tomorrow's shift is scheduled at 0:05, ask for collection, ask for recommendation) Yuzan raised his hand and pointed to the east, and replied: "Today's prince, your eldest brother." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Prince? In my opinion, it is easiest for me to give the news of borrowing grain to my father, so why do you want me to borrow grain from him? Yang Guangda asked puzzled.
Yu Zan and Qian Wuliang glanced at each other, coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "More than 100 grains is not a small amount, except for the East Palace, other princes' mansions are only afraid that they will not be able to lend us so much grain, and the prince has always been generous, and he will never arrange the prince's ...... in front of the emperor and Niangniang for trivial matters."
Yang Guang saw that his eyes flickered, and it seemed that what he said was not exactly what he thought in his heart, and he stared at Qian Wuliang suspiciously, Qian Wuliang only stood with his head down, without saying a word, so he asked unwillingly: "Is there no other way to think of it at the moment except to borrow grain from the East Palace?" ”
Yu Zan replied very simply: "Lao Er and Mr. Qian thought about it again and again, and felt that only the prince himself came forward and borrowed grain from His Royal Highness the Prince, which was the only feasible way at the moment. Please also ask the prince to make a decision as soon as possible, lest after tonight, the house will really run out of food, and the matter will not be able to be covered. ”
Yang Guang could never have imagined that he only took a small step to change his fate, which would bring such serious consequences. He knew very well that if he squandered money and goods on a whim, resulting in a dignified Jin Palace, once the news reached the palace, then what he would have to face was not only a few innocuous admonitions from his father Yang Jian, but an extremely severe reprimand, and if it was not good, it would ruin the hope of going out of the town and merging the state.
With this in mind, although Yang Guang was reluctant to pull down his face and open his mouth to borrow food from the crown prince Yang Yong, he had to agree to it.
The sky was getting dark, and it was close to the time of the shift, Yang Guang took Yuzan, Xian Yuluo, and the tail that couldn't be shaken off - Zhang Xutuo, quietly left the Jin Palace, and walked towards the East Palace where the crown prince Yang Yong lived.
Due to the unstable situation at the border gates, a curfew was also imposed in the city of Chang'an. Thanks to Zhang Xutuo, a Qianniuwei sergeant, Yang Guang and his entourage avoided the interrogation of the city patrol sergeant along the way, and after walking for less than half an hour, they successfully arrived outside the south gate of the East Palace.
"Xian Yuluo, you accompany this little military master to wait outside the gate of the East Palace for a while, and I will accompany the prince into the palace to see the prince." Yuzan didn't want Zhang Xutuo to learn the truth about Yang Guang's coming to the East Palace to borrow food tonight, so he stopped outside the gate of the East Palace, commanded Xian Yuluo on the one hand, and explained his intention to the two sergeants guarding the gate of the East Palace with a smile.
When the sergeant guarding the gate of the East Palace heard that it was the prince of Jin who came to see the prince, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately a sergeant entered the palace to report the news.
Yang Guang had returned to the door of the East Palace for the first time since he had crossed, standing outside the door, looking up and down at the prince's residence, which looked no bigger than his own Jin Palace, and was still embarrassed in his heart for how to borrow food from Yang Yong for a while.
"Oh, it turned out that His Royal Highness the King of Jin had arrived, and our lord had just returned to the palace from the Long Live Lord, and was waiting for His Royal Highness in Yichun Palace, please come with me." A young man dressed as a white and chubby palace official greeted the palace gate with a smile on his face, slammed Yang Guangyi to the ground, and greeted him very warmly.
"There's an order from Lao Jifang, Lord Wang, let's go." Yu Zan recognized that the person was Ji Wei of the East Palace, so he bowed to him on behalf of Yang Guang, and turned back to Yang Guang and said.
Ji Wei led the way in front of the head, Yang Guang and Yu Zan followed, stepped into the gate of the East Palace, and walked straight towards the main hall of the East Palace-Yichun Palace.
Yang Guang entered the East Palace, only to find that this is the residence of the prince after all, whether it is the pond pavilion flowers and trees, or the palace pavilions, it is far from his own Jin Palace, the construction is very magnificent, but it is chic and exquisite, and he secretly thought in his heart: It seems that what Yu Zan said is not a lie, I am afraid that only the prince can lend so much food to himself.
"Is it Ji Fang Ling from the other side?"
The three of them were still a hundred and ten steps away from the Yichun Palace, only to see a person flash out of the bushes near the hall gate, standing up in the middle of the road, pressing the saber in his hand, and asked in a deep voice.
"General Xiahou, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has arrived." Ji Wei hurriedly stepped forward, and while opening his mouth to explain to this person, he turned his head and introduced to Yang Guang, "Your Highness may not know that this is General Xiahoufu led by the prince's right guard, and he is waiting for His Highness outside the palace. ”
The crown prince is much more noble than ordinary princes, and just looking at the guards around him, he is by no means comparable to himself. Yang Guang saw Xia Houfu standing in front of him like a black iron tower, compared to it, Xian Yuluo beside him was thin and dry, it was simply not worth mentioning, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Xiahou Fu see His Royal Highness the King of Jin. The crown prince called the eldest grandson Sheng to the palace tonight to inquire about the situation of the Turks, and when he heard that His Royal Highness was coming, he also said that His Royal Highness came by coincidence, and he could listen to it in one place. Xiahou Fu grinned and saluted Yang Guang with a fist, and said casually.
Isn't the eldest grandson Sheng the new master that his father Yang Jian wants to worship? I didn't expect to come to the East Palace tonight to borrow food, and I would actually meet him here, but I could take the opportunity to see his demeanor. At the same time, because he was disturbed in advance by Yuzan and Qian Wuliang, Yang Guang had not yet had time to arrange for Xian Yuluo to secretly investigate the Turkic villain around Changsun Sheng, and he also wanted to take the opportunity of the meeting between the East Palace and Changsun Sheng in advance, and asked him about the origin of the Turkic villain, so that he might be able to get new discoveries from it.
As soon as he thought of investigating the traitor and visiting the evil, Yang Guang's mind couldn't help but get excited, and he forgot for a moment that he came to the East Palace tonight to borrow food from the crown prince Yang Yong and survive the famine in the palace, so he strode forward and took the lead towards the Yichun Palace.
The crown prince Yang Yong has indeed just returned to the East Palace, because he asked the eldest grandson Sheng to come to the East Palace to talk about official business, so he didn't even change his court clothes, and he was sitting in the Yichun Hall at this time, holding a thing that he didn't know, putting it in front of him, and looking at it carefully.
Under Yang Yong, one on the left and one on the right, there were two middle-aged men dressed as palace officials, and when they saw Yang Guang walking into the hall, they all stood up and bowed to him.
"Ah Zong, you've come just in time. Come and see how the newly minted 'Kaihuang Five Plants' money paradigm of Shaofu is? Yang Yong smiled and beckoned to Yang Guang, signaling that he didn't have to salute himself.
Yang Guang still bowed his hand to Yang Yong deeply, and did not dare to sloppily perform half of the courtesy, so he walked forward as ordered, took two golden and newly minted copper coins from Yang Yong's hands, and put them in the palm of his hand to study them carefully.
