Time flies, the sun and the moon shuttle, and in a blink of an eye, it has entered the early spring of the third year of the emperor's reign. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Half a year ago, the Turkic prince Yongyu Lu visited Bingzhou, which not only brought Yang Guang a wedding gift from Kehe Dunyuwen Panruo to Yang Guang - an extremely rare falcon "Jade Claw", but also clearly sent Yang Guang a signal that the Turks and Sui would strike a truce and get back together. Two months later, Yang Jian approved Yang Guang's will to choose a place to reopen the mutual market with the Turks under the rule of Hebei Province, and Yang Guang sent an invitation to Yongyu Lu, who led the army to garrison Baidao Prefecture, asking him to enter the customs again and discuss with him about the reopening of the mutual market.

At Yang Guang's suggestion, Yongyu Lu agreed to open a mutual market in Mayi, about 30 miles southeast of Bingzhou, so as to facilitate exchanges and trade between the two government and border people.

The reason why he did not set the location for the opening of the mutual market outside the Guan, but chose to be in Mayi, which is only 30 miles away from Bingzhou, Yang Guang actually had his own considerations.

Since Yu Xiaoren brought him the news that Yu Wenyue, the prince of the previous dynasty, might be taken captive to Turkic territory by Yuwen Panruo, and plotted to use his banner to oppose Sui and Fuzhou in the future, Yang Guang ordered Yu Xiaoren to lead a battalion of hussar battalions out of the pass to investigate Yu Wenyue's whereabouts. However, nearly two months have passed, and Yu Xiaoren and others have found nothing.

The choice of the location of the mutual market in Mayi, on the outskirts of Bingzhou, was not only conducive to showing the Turkic side the sincerity of the Great Sui and its re-establishment of peace, but more importantly, there would be merchants from all over the Turkic territory to trade in the mutual market.

Yong Yulu was also very surprised by Yang Guang's proposal to set the location of the mutual market in Mayi, which is on the outskirts of Guannai and Zhou, and readily agreed without thinking.

This time, the Turks took the initiative to make peace with the Sui Dynasty, which was really different from the previous times, until the beginning of the third year of the emperor's reign, in the long half a year, the Turkic iron cavalry never stepped into the pass. Although during this period, Yang Guang sent scouts out of the customs to investigate, coupled with his many private visits to Weifu, and the news inquired about in the Mayi mutual market showed that there was indeed a lot of disputes among the five Turkic khans, which directly led to the change of attitude towards the Sui Dynasty and the settlement of disputes within the Turks, but after all, this was the longest period of peace with the Central Plains Dynasty during the fifty or sixty years of Turkic prosperity.

"Jade Claw" handed over to An Ruoxi to feed for more than half a year, since childhood in the countryside of the south of the Yangtze River Xiao Er not only has no fear of the "Hai Dongqing" this kind of bird of prey that can fight wolves, but more and more like An Ruoxi's carefully fed pair of falcons, in the dormitory when extremely boring, often ordered An Ruoxi to take a pair of falcons to the grass in the back garden of Jinyang Palace to watch the "Jade Claw" and "Black General" hunting for fun.

Although Yang Guang himself is very fond of this extremely rare jade-clawed golden-eyed "Haidongqing", he thinks that it is a gift from Yuwen Panruo (Yang Guang will never forget the assassin who appeared at his wedding, and he is very suspicious that the mastermind behind it is Yuwen Panruo), and secondly, Yang Guang is very concerned about witnessing the fierceness of the Turkic iron cavalry, regardless of the injury on his leg, he insists on practicing the art of riding and archery with the hussar battalion soldiers every day, and has no time to feed the eagle dog, and he is not as close to Xiao E as this pair of falcons on weekdays.

This day is the second day of the second month of February, the day when the dragon raises its head. According to the folk customs in Hebei, Yang Guang, as the secretary of Hebei Province, on the day of the dragon's head, should personally go to the newly built Bingzhou Daxingguo Temple in the early morning on behalf of the imperial court to put incense on the pillar, and then go to the fields outside the city of Bingzhou to preside over the spring ploughing ceremony.

More than half a year ago, Yang Guang tried to attract mysterious "bodhisattvas" from Tiantai Mountain to the north and merge with the state through the implementation of the "Buddha out of the mountain" plan, but the result was in vain. Entrusted by Yang Guang, he presided over the selection of the abbot of Daxingguo Temple, and Yang Guang interviewed with Wang Shao, Zhang Heng and others, and finally selected a Taoist monk who had been exiled to the Turkic territory during the war, and his legal name was called Huilin, as the abbot of Daxingguo Temple in Bingzhou and the candidate of Hebei monk supervisor, and submitted it to his father Yang Jian.

Regarding the experience of Monk Huilin living in the Turkic territory in his early years, there were some differences between Zhang Wei and Wang Shao. Wang Shao pointed out to Yang Guang that although the Turks and the Great Sui were currently on good terms, after all, the Turkic tiger and wolf states should not be taken lightly, Wang Shao pointed out to Yang Guang that the monk Huilin had been living in the Turkic territory for more than ten years, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not receive a secret envoy from the upper echelons of the Turks and act as an undercover Turkic scout, and for the sake of safety, it was not appropriate to recommend him as the abbot of the Daxingguo Temple in Bingzhou, let alone hand over all Buddhist affairs in the nineteen state capitals under the rule of Hebei Province to him to be in charge.

In this regard, Zhang Wei retorted that the monk Huilin was originally a Qi person, and when he was young, he was ordained a monk in the White Horse Temple in the Eastern Capital, and then he was forced to live in the Turkic territory due to the war. More importantly, Monk Huilin and the Huizhen monk who was regarded as a national teacher by the emperor and Niangniang are brothers of the same sect, and his Buddhist attainments are obviously higher than other monks who came to apply, and he enjoys a high reputation in and around Yanmen Pass.

Yang Guang sat upright in the middle, listened to the two servants arguing for a long time, and finally figured out why Zhang Wei, who had always been cautious and cautious, recommended Hui Lin, and Wang Shao, who was bold and arbitrary, had reservations about the monk Hui Lin as the abbot of Daxingguo Temple: Wang Shao's words were all out of public intentions, and there was no prejudice against Hui Lin himself; And Zhang Wei probably insisted on recommending him as the abbot because Hui Lin was the same senior brother of the national teacher of Huizhen.

Even so, one of Zhang Wei's words deeply touched Yang Guang: recommending the highly respected monk Huilin as a monk and eunuch in Hebei can effectively reduce the resistance of wealthy people from all over the world to re-advocate Buddhism. This is too important for Yang Guang, who has been plagued by the powerful forces of the family in Hebei since he left the town. It was precisely based on this that Yang Guang finally decided to recommend the monk Huilin to his father Yang Jian to be the abbot of the Daxingguo Temple and the Hebei monk eunuch in Bingzhou.
