The news that Zhao Ziliang led his troops back to Western Qin spread very quickly, and the news that Zhao Ziliang was canonized as the king of Western Qin by the Tang Emperor quickly spread to the West, and the Central Asian, South Asian and Western countries then called Western Qin the Western Qin Kingdom, which was a subject state of the Tang Empire in the East, and this Western Qin Kingdom was in the middle node of the Sino-Western trade route, and was one of the most important components of the trade route, so Central Asia and Western countries sent envoys to Western Qin to establish diplomatic relations.

After accompanying his wife and children at home for half a month, Zhao Ziliang began to deal with affairs, first of all, Yang Yuhuan's matter, which is a big deal! According to the news obtained by the outside world, Yang Yuhuan was buried after Xuanzong's death, so everyone knew that Yang Yuhuan was dead, but she stayed alive in the backyard of the Western Qin Jiedu Embassy and lived alone in a small courtyard.

It is also inconvenient for Zhao Ziliang's family to always let her live in the backyard of the Jiedu Embassy Mansion, Yang Yuhuan has already raised this point in the first few days and asked to move out to live, these days Zhao Ziliang has also thought about it, on weekdays, the officials and daughters of Xiqin have a lot of dealings with his family, and it is inevitable that they will see Yang Yuhuan and cause speculation.

In the first month of the first year of Shangyuan, just after the New Year, Yang Yuhuan came to Zhao Ziliang again, Zhao Ziliang was practicing martial arts, and when he saw her coming, he stopped, wiped his sweat and asked Yang Yuhuan to sit down, and asked: "Yuhuan, let's move out again, right?" ”

Yang Yuhuan nodded and said: "Well, since the first emperor returned to heaven, on the other hand, I am also relieved, I came to the Western Regions to travel all over the landscape, understand the customs and customs of foreign people everywhere, to appreciate the folk life of the Western Regions, I live here is really inconvenient, and my dozens of maidservants are also crowded here, making this backyard very messy, you better find me another place, on the one hand, you can place my maidservants, on the other hand, I can also cultivate with peace of mind, if I am bored on weekdays, I can go out for a walk." I'm uncomfortable here."

Zhao Ziliang took a sip of tea, and said after a moment of silence: "If you really want to move out to live, I can promise you, but you also have to promise one thing, the first emperor has left an edict, let me take good care of you, if you have any accidents, I can't explain to the first emperor after a hundred years, since I have received the edict of the first emperor, I have to implement it to the end, until the day I die, I don't want to end up with a name of disloyalty, if you can fulfill me, I will not interfere with you!" ”

At this time, Datang, everyone is loyal to the first, integrity-based, promised things to do, integrity is the foundation of the world, no integrity will be spurned, such people have no friends, far no more than future generations of people can abandon anything for the sake of interests, integrity is just a word, promised things can be reversed at any time, turn your face faster than a book.

Yang Yuhuan asked, "What do you want me to promise you?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "First, your Dao name must be changed, you can no longer be called Taizhen, you can change it to Taihua or some other Dao number, in short, you can no longer call Taizhen." Second, if you want to go far away, you must talk to me; Third, I must send someone by your side to protect your safety, otherwise I will not be reassured! The people who protect you will not disturb your life, you can pretend that they do not exist".

Yang Yuhuan thought about it and agreed: "Okay, I promise you!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said again: "This Henglus City was originally just a small city, the people are only a few thousand, the rest are garrisons, and then the Beiting Duhufu moved here, after so many years of expansion has been quite large-scale, most of the houses in the city are newly built, I will first find someone to find you a larger new house to live in, and at the same time send someone to build a Taoist temple for you outside the city, and when the Taoist temple is completed, you will move over!" In the past few days, I took someone to look for it, the Western Qin government is going to build a palace for me, there is a hillside next to the site is relatively flat, suitable for building a Taoist temple, if you have nothing to do, you will go with me to see, if you are satisfied, build the Taoist temple there! ”

Yang Yuhuan may have stayed in this backyard and was bored, so he immediately stood up and said, "I'm free all day now, let's go!" ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled bitterly: "Don't be in such a hurry, you have to let me change my clothes!" ”

An hour later, Zhao Ziliang took Yang Yuhuan to the foot of Qianquan Mountain, and the two dismounted and climbed up the mountain on foot, followed by the soldiers and maids.

At this time, there are a large number of laborers on the mountain and under the mountain are building the palace of the Western Qin, since the north court received the official letter sent by the imperial court began to select the site, after the site selection design drawings came out, soon began to start construction.

encountered a steep place, Yang Yuhuan couldn't go up, Zhao Ziliang could only pull her, after coming up, she stood on a flat stone and looked at the busy crowd down the mountain and asked, "Ziliang, how many people are building the palace?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "There are more than 23,000 people in total, all of whom were captured by the Great Cannibals that year, and among these captives are not only the Great Cannibals, but also the local Sogdians and the Tocharians in the south!" You see, from the foot of the mountain within five miles to the top of the mountain is the range of the palace, is the inner city of Heng Logos City, Heng Les River separates the palace from the outer city, the main building of the royal palace will be built from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the style of the building adopts a combination of East and West, in addition to the windows, all the stone and cement ash are used, some load-bearing walls are also added to the interior to increase the load-bearing capacity, now a spiral mountain road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is being built, and all the stones required for the construction of the palace are made of local materials, In the future, all the residential and commercial areas around the mountain where the palace is located will be built in the middle, and the palace will be the center of the city in a few years! Do you know why this mountain is called Thousand Springs Mountain? ”

Yang Yuhuan thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that there are thousands of springs left on the mountain?" ”

Zhao Ziliang clapped his palms and praised: "Yuhuan is so smart, I came up with it all at once, that's right, this Qianquan Mountain is named after this, the highest place on the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and there is spring water flowing down all year round, so there will never be a shortage of water after the palace is completed, and there are many hot springs on the mountainside and the top of the mountain to bathe, we not only want to build this palace majestic, towering, but also build it into a peerless castle with super defense, so that it is difficult for the enemy to break it!" ”

The Qianquan is hundreds of miles long, and the scope of the palace is also limited, so it is impossible to include all the Qianquan Mountains in these hundreds of miles, and after the palace is completed, barriers and fortresses will be set up in dangerous places to isolate it, so as to prevent foreign enemies from going up the mountain from other places to enter the palace.

Yang Yuhuan asked, "It's going to cost a lot of money, right?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The money will definitely cost some, but not a lot, you see that the laborers are all captives, and the materials are all locally sourced, only cement ash, steel bars, wood, the food and clothing of the captives, the carving and painting craftsmen, and the salaries of the officials and supervisors need to spend money." According to the calculations of the officials, it would take about 12 million guan to complete the palace, and with the current number of workers, it could be completed in two years! ”

Yang Yuhuan has lived in the palace for a long time, and has no concept of money at all, and has no reaction to what Zhao Ziliang said about 12 million guan, the entire Western Qin's annual financial income is now about nine million guan, if you want to complete the construction of this palace, you must spend a year and a half of the financial income of the entire Western Qin, this is still because manpower and material resources are free, if you count manpower and material resources, I am afraid that 50 million guan is not enough.

Yang Yuhuan asked, "Where is the Taoist temple you plan to cultivate for me?" ”

"There!" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and pointed to a flat place next to him and said.

Yang Yuhuan looked in the direction his arm pointed, and sure enough, she saw a flat land, but she didn't see a way to go there, so she asked, "Why is there no road?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Because you are a Taoist temple, so you can't go from the palace, the workers will dig out a small road from the other side of the Taoist temple, on the one hand, it is convenient for you to go down the mountain to buy food and necessities, on the other hand, it can be convenient for believers to go up the mountain to burn incense, of course, there are roads to the Taoist temple in this palace, but there are usually guards, there will be no one to go to the Taoist temple from this road, only you can take this road into the palace in the Taoist temple, others are not allowed!" ”

Yang Yuhuan looked at the fast place, although the terrain is a little sloping, but it is much flatter than other places, it is completely suitable for building a Taoist temple, the scenery is good, and the vision is also wide, and he immediately said happily: "Yes, that's it!" When will the temple be completed? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Your Taoist temple is not large, it can be built within three months, if you have any requirements for the interior decoration of the Taoist temple, you can tell the official in charge of supervising the construction affairs, and he will arrange craftsmen to do it according to your requirements!" ”

"Good!" Yang Yuhuan said and turned to look at the distant scenery under the mountain, the Henglus River passed through the foot of Qianquan Mountain like a white jade belt, the two banks were green and hurried, there were countless trees and fertile fields, the south was a large area of farmland, the north was in addition to the farmland, there were large grasslands in the distance, countless cattle and sheep were dotted on this turquoise picture, and the farther and west was a yellow, orange and orange endless desert.

Seeing such a beautiful and delicate picture, Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but say: "It's so beautiful! Ziliang, this moment has made all my previous boredom disappear! ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled slightly when he heard this: "It seems that you are indeed stuffy, go out for a walk in the future!" ”

After returning to the city, Zhao Ziliang arranged a relatively large mansion for Yang Yuhuan and his entourage, and they moved over in the afternoon, this mansion has been empty, and now so many people suddenly live in it make the surrounding people quite curious, people only know that there is a noble person who lives in, but they don't know his identity.

Zhao Ziliang walked out of the house, and after Yang Yuhuan returned, he beckoned to Xuan Shiba, who was not far away, and Xuan Shibai came over and hugged his fists and said, "King!" ”

Zhao Ziliang instructed: "Arrange two groups of people to protect, one bright and one dark, and the people on the bright side must prevent irrelevant people from disturbing them, such as ruffians and gangsters in the market, to prevent gangsters from sneaking into them and causing harm, and usually cannot interfere with and disturb their lives, let alone prevent them from entering and exiting, and a group of people in the dark should not show up when their lives are not threatened!" ”

Xuan 18 hugged his fists and said: "The last general understands!" ”
