Lao Er also heard that Yu Qing Ze and General Changsun Sheng met the king in the Linde Hall of Daxing Palace, and presented a letter written by the Turkic Great Khan to the emperor. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Who knows, after three or five days, the crown prince replied to the emperor that he had been fighting for many years, building a new capital, and that the Guanzhong area had suffered a major drought this year, and the harvest was not good, and these things together led to the emptiness of the treasury of the central government, and there was no sufficient amount of grain to reward the Turks. When the emperor heard this, he was anxious, and he hurriedly passed on the left servant of Shangshu to shoot Gao Ying, and Yang Shangxi, the secretary of Duzhi, to come to the Linde Hall to discuss countermeasures. As a result, what Gao Servant and Yang Shangshu said was the same as what the prince had said, and Chang'an was indeed unable to transfer grain and silk to the Turks.

Since this is the first time in decades that the Turks have asked for a reward from our Huaxia Dynasty as a junior, the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, and on the spot he ordered the crown prince, Gao Servant and Yang Shangshu to come up with a proper way to raise rewards in the Linde Palace, so as not to lose the face of the court because of the lack of rewards.

It is said that the prince, Gao Servant and Yang Shangshu had a meeting in the Linde Hall for a long time that day, and Yang Shangxi Shangshu once suggested to the emperor: cut out redundant personnel in various places, save public expenses, and use them to raise favors and reduce the burden of the people. As a result, the emperor rejected it on the spot, believing that Yang Shangshu's advice was not enough to solve the immediate need. Gao Fuchu believes that the Turks were able to defeat the alliance of the two khans in the west with the help of our Great Sui, and now they do not pay tribute to the Great Sui, and the imperial court does not need to reward them heavily to help them recover. Since the emperor has already called me a man in the picture taken by the Turkic Great Khan, how can the younger generation ask for rewards from the elders, and the reason that the elders are stingy with goods and goods is also vetoed on the spot.

In the end, the crown prince came forward and suggested to the emperor: The land of Hebei can be called the granary of the world, and since Guanzhong is in the event of a major drought, it is better to order the king of Jin to raise his own rewards in Hebei and award the Turks to complete the dignity of the imperial court. The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately adopted the prince's suggestion, and issued an edict to the prince of our family, ordering him to raise 300,000 stone grains and 30,000 horses of silk in Hebei as a reward given by the imperial court to the Turks, and transport them to Guanwai within three months.

The girl imagined that the people in Hebei had suffered a lot from the Turkic invasions in the past, so how could they willingly pay their own grain to supply the Turks, so there was civil turmoil in Hebei......"

An Ruoxi listened intently to Yu Zan's story, and secretly gasped: As Yu Zan said, everything is true, anyone can hear from his words that the prince has bad intentions towards Yang Guang, and this is to use the matter of awarding a reward to the Turks to instigate public resentment under the rule of Hebei Province and cause trouble for Yang Guang. What made An Ruoxi feel most anxious was that since Yang Guang was ordered to leave the town and leave Beijing four years ago, and the crown prince Yang Yong forced himself to return to the vulgar and return to Yang Guang's side, the prince has obviously been wary of Yang Guang, and Yang Guang still regards this eldest brother as his most trusted person.

"Then, did the prince collect all the money and silk awarded by the imperial court to the Turks?" An Ruoxi couldn't hide the concern and anxiety in her heart, and blurted out.

"These are all recent events, but judging from the emperor's plan to use Liang Shiyan, the Duke of Shengguo, as the assassin of Luzhou, I'm afraid that the prince has indeed encountered a lot of trouble." Yuzan shook his head with a bitter face.

An Ruoxi frowned and thought for a long time, and couldn't think of a proper way to help Yang Guang solve the problem that the prince Yang Yong intended to give him, so he said to Yuzan: "Now that the prince is in trouble, we as family members should try to share the worries for the prince, please pay close attention to the progress of Hebei's grain raising in the past few days, and when I return to the temple today, I will think about it well to see if I can come up with a foolproof plan to help the prince solve this problem." ”

Yuzan Su knew that An Ruoxi was originally a female Zhuge beside Yang Guang, who was very wise, and when she heard this, she nodded hurriedly and agreed: "The girl's words are very true, Lao Er will do his best to find out the news from Hebei at any time, but please think of a child as soon as possible to help the prince tide over this difficult time." ”

An Ruoxi said goodbye to Yuzan at the moment, returned to Wanshanni Temple, and when she returned to the Mingjing Hall, it was almost dusk, but she saw that in the Mingjing Hall, the mind master and the Chen, the two of them were talking happily with a young woman who looked like a palace maid.

"Yin, where have you been for most of the day? I didn't tell my teacher a word. Due to the presence of distinguished guests, Mrs. Xinyi turned around and saw An Ruoxi walking into the hall from the outside, and only asked her reproachfully.

An Ruoxi glanced at Yuan, and saw that she was also turning her head to look at herself, looking at the look on her face, as if she was unaware of the fact that she was following the person who had secretly met with her in the grove outside the temple to Xindu, so she put her mind at ease, walked to the front of the Xinyi Master, and replied respectfully: "At noon today, I was tired of copying the scriptures with Senior Sister Yuan, so I made an appointment to go outside the temple together. I didn't think about this walk but inadvertently walked to the grave of the remnant sister, because I remembered that the death of the remnant sister was coming, so I asked the elder sister to return to the Ming Jing Hall first, and stayed alone in front of the grave of the remnant sister to worship once, and then I lay down in front of the grave of the remnant sister and cried and fainted, and when I woke up, I found that it was late, so I hurried back......"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the young woman who looked like a palace maid take over the conversation, looked at herself and asked, "I only cared about talking to the two maids, but I forgot what my maiden told me when I left the palace." Where is the tomb of the Great Empress outside the temple, can you take me over to worship now? ”

"It's getting late today, and the graveyard is cloudy, so the girl should come back next time to worship." Before An Ruoxi could speak, Mrs. Xinyi had already stopped the words for her, and said to the young woman with a smile, "The annoying girl went back to the palace to report to her mother, and she said that there are poor nuns in the temple to take care of her, and everything is fine, and there is no need for the mother to worry about it." If the mother is free in the future, you might as well invite the mother to come to the temple to relax. ”

Yuan raised his eyes and saw that the sky outside the hall was getting dark, and he knew that the guests would not stay in the temple, so he got up and said to the young woman: "I bother Sister Lao Zhu'er to go back to the palace to greet the Queen Mother on my behalf, and ask her to cherish herself, and don't quarrel with others because of my renunciation, so as not to anger your body and not be worth it." ”

An Ruoxi accompanied her, listened for a long time, and roughly guessed that most of the young women who were called Sister Zhu'er by Yuan were ordered by Yang Lihua, the empress dowager of the former dynasty, to visit Yuan in the temple. Listening to the mind of the monk in a monk's costume, the two of them talked to Zhu'er, and they were still commensurate with each other's identities in the palace of the previous dynasty, and they couldn't help but add a sigh of emotion: Time has passed, and these palace concubines of the previous dynasty still remember each other's original identities when they were in the palace, no wonder Queen Dugu can't rest assured.
