At this time, in the Huaqing Palace, in addition to more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids who took care of the palace, there was only one person closely related to its fate living in the huge palace complex, a weak woman who cut off the prosperity of fireworks in Chang'an.

There was only one battalion stationed near the Huaqing Palace, less than five hundred soldiers.

On this morning, two carriages appeared far away on the official road, followed by dozens of horseback riding families, as the carriage slowly approached the Huaqing Palace, the curtain opened, revealing Yang Huahua's charming face, but if you look closely, you will find that her face has become a lot haggard, Li Yu's reform of the acres of land has brought her a heavy blow, and all the 1.5 million yuan of money she hid in the grange was also taken away by Li Yu, she didn't care about the life or death of the Yang family, but she couldn't accept the huge loss of her money, She can not want the name of Mrs. Qiuguo, but money is her lifeblood.

At this moment, Yang Huahua looked at the eaves of the palace hidden in the jungle in the distance, although she was not very sure about this trip, but she wanted to give it a try anyway.

Sitting opposite her is the second sister Yang Yupei, that is, the former Korean lady, she was robbed of her title, and her husband also lost his official position, not only that, but the 100,000 yuan she hid in Yang Huahua Grange was also robbed by the officers and soldiers, Yang Yupei was extremely depressed, this is the pension money she saved by frugality, and it was actually taken away, which made her almost collapse, originally she wanted to find the daughter of the concubine, but there was news in the palace that the daughter might be abolished because of the involvement of the Yang family, and she was afraid to enter the palace to find her daughter, helpless, She had to come to find the third sister, and it happened that Yang Huahua was going to Huaqing Palace, so she came with her.

"Third sister, do you say that Yuhuan is willing to stand up for us?"

Yang Yupei was worried, she relied on her intuition, this trip would not have much gain, their fourth sister was willing to give up even the concubine, would she help them again?

"It's not a question of whether she's willing or not, it's something she has to do."

Yang Huahua thought that her money and land were taken away, she gritted her teeth with hatred, and said: "As long as she is still a member of the Yang family, she must stand up for us, we were rich because of her, but now our Yang family is declining, how can she stay out of it?" ”

"But..."

Yang Yupei still wanted to say, I'm afraid Li Longji has no choice, but it can be seen that Yang Huahua's face is becoming more and more gloomy, and she swallowed back the words she didn't say.

At this time, their housekeeper had already negotiated with the garrison soldiers of Huaqing Palace, and the sergeant let them go in the carriage, Yang Huahua looked at the figure on a big tree, and after a long time, she said lightly: "As long as she wants to manage, there is nothing she can't do." ”

．．．．．．． In a Taoist temple in the northeast corner of Huaqing Palace, Yang Yuhuan is holding a handful of wheat to feed a dozen magpies, and two squirrels are jumping up and down impatiently on a large tree next to the window, waiting for two dried corn cakes behind Yang Yuhuan.

"Don't worry, I'll feed you when I'm done feeding the magpies." Yang Yuhuan said to the squirrel with a smile.

She was dressed in a white robe, her black hair was draped over her shoulders, and her face was not powdered, but her skin was still white and delicate, and her posture was beautiful and moving.

has been in the Huaqing Palace for more than a year, Yang Yuhuan has been accustomed to the quiet and elegant here, with the squirrel as the younger brother, the magpie as the son, living a plain life, although Li Yu gave her the entire Huaqing Palace as a place of recuperation, but Yang Yuhuan has never left this Taoist temple one step, those hot spring palaces, for her is already a distant past, she just wants to spend the second half of her life here peacefully, and does not want to ask about those grievances and hatreds.

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Xue Niang, the maid who had been following Yang Yuhuan, walked in quickly, "Real person! ”

She shouted, and more than a dozen magpies flew away in fright, and Yang Yuhuan couldn't help complaining: "Why are you in such a hurry, you scared them all away." ”

Xue Niang smiled helplessly: "There are guests looking for you." ”

"Guest?" Yang Yuhuan shook his head and said, "Didn't I say that I don't see anyone except Li Qing'an?" ”

"Real people, it's the second lady and the third lady."

Yang Yuhuan hadn't seen her sisters for nearly two years, including her eldest sister who died of illness, she didn't attend the funeral, she thought about it, then nodded and said, "Take them to my outhouse and wait." ”

After all, they are sisters, she can't be seen, Yang Huahua put the wheat and corn cakes in the big wooden plate outside the window, washed her hands, and hurried to the outhouse.

Yang Huahua and Yang Yupei have been led into the room, they are looking around the room, the room is simply decorated, a statue of Laojun, a few hemp mat cushions, nothing else, Xue Niang brought a small table from the inside, put three cushions on both sides of the table, and smiled at them: "Two ladies, please sit!" I'll pour you tea. ”

Yang Yupei frowned and said, "Fourth sister, it's too simple here!" It's really born. ”

Yang Huahua seemed to smell something, her eyes wandered around, and finally caught a glimpse of a vase on the windowsill, which contained a few fragrant jasmine flowers, and she couldn't help but say coldly: "Although she was born, her heart may not be." ”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and Yang Yuhuan walked in and said with a smile: "Two sisters, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

"Fourth sister!"

Yang Yupei's eyes were red, she stepped forward to take Yang Yuhuan's hand, and said in a choked voice: "Fourth sister, you must help your sister." ”

"Second sister, third sister, you sit down first, let's talk slowly."

The three sisters sat down, Xue Niang came out with three cups of tea and served them tea, Yang Yuhuan glanced at Yang Huahua and said with a smile: "Third sister, why haven't you spoken." ”

Yang Huahua smiled faintly and said: "I envy your quiet and leisurely, unlike us laymen, who run around all day long for a little life-saving rations." ”

"The third sister is really joking, you are a dignified Mrs. Qiuguo, with a huge family fortune, will you still worry about food and clothing?"

Yang Huahua and Yang Yupei glanced at each other, it turned out that their fourth sister didn't know that something was wrong with the Yang family, Yang Huahua shook her head and said: "Since ten days ago, I am no longer Mrs. Qiuguo, your second sister is not Mrs. Korea, Mrs. Qin's tombstone was also smashed, three people's women, the second brother went to see Lord Yan, the only official in the Yang family is your third brother Guozhong, but he has changed from Yang Youxiang to Yang Sima, and is ready to go back to his hometown to take up his post, our family wealth has been robbed, just now on the road I also discussed with your second sister how to make a living, Your second sister is going to wash people's clothes, and I, Yang Huahua, still go back to my hometown to farm and be a peasant woman. ”

Yang Yuhuan didn't speak for a long time, her eyes were gloomy for a while, and she said, "I didn't expect that the second brother died, I would chant and pray for him." ”

"Fourth sister!"

Yang Huahua was a little unhappy, after talking so much, she only cared about the dead, and didn't care about the living?

"Don't pretend to be confused, we came to you today, you know better than anyone else what is going on?"

Yang Yuhuan shook his head, "I really don't know what else you have to do with me, the three of us sisters haven't seen each other for almost two years, does it have to be something before you are willing to come and see me?" ”

At this time, Yang Yupei couldn't help but say: "Fourth sister, our Yang family was defeated, the title was dismissed, and the family property was confiscated. ”

Yang Yuhuan's eyes fell on a few apricot trees in the yard, staring at the small green apricots in the trees, and after a while, she whispered: "Spring flowers bloom, spring flowers go to thanks, flowers are impermanent, people are impermanent, although the flowers are no longer, but leave a tree full of green apricots, although there is no wealth, people are safe and sound, the Yang clan can be extended, I thought this is the luck of the Yang family, I was so looking forward to it many years ago, and now it is finally realized, it should be a great joy." ”

The words are not speculative, Yang Huahua raised her eyebrows angrily, she held back her breath and said: "It's just a lady of the country, the good land was taken away by the government and distributed to the civilians, and we also admit it, but the government took away millions of our family property, and those family wealth were not stolen, some were given by the first emperor, and some were earned by us in business, and it was all clean money, and the government should return this money to us!" Fourth sister, whether you are a nun or a female Taoist, but after all, you are a member of the Yang family, and the whole Yang family is counting on you, can you really bear to kick the Yang family who gave birth to you and raised you away? ”

Next to him, Yang Yupei also persuaded: "Yes! The fourth sister only needs to go to Xingqing Palace, find the first emperor, let him remember the old love, say a word for our Yang family, get back what we deserve, and then you go out of your house, we will never bother you again, fourth sister, second sister begs you. ”

Yang Yuhuan was silent, for a while, she slowly shook her head and said: "I have nothing to do with Xingqing Palace, even if there is a relationship, the first emperor can't help you, if there is still a little fear in the saint today, you won't be so miserable, don't you understand this most obvious truth?" ”

Yang Yupei's eyes were filled with great disappointment, in fact, she also thought of this when she discussed with her husband last night, if the saint still remembers the old love of the first emperor today, she will never touch the Yang family, since the Yang family has been defeated, what is the use of looking for the first emperor, her 100,000 yuan!

Yang Huahua was silent, she knew better than anyone what the old immortal would be capable of now, she came to Yang Yuhuan today, and she was never asked to find Li Longji.

"Fourth sister, I only want to ask you, are you willing to help the Yang family once? For the last time. ”

Yang Yuhuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I want to help you, but I can't do anything." ”

"What the fourth sister means is that you are still willing to help the Yang family once?" Yang Huahua pressed step by step.

Yang Yuhuan was forced to be helpless, so he had to nod and said: "I am now a monk, and the only way for me to help the Yang family is to chant and pray for my family at night." ”

"Nope! You still have the ability to help us, it just depends on whether you are willing to do it, I'm not talking about Xingqing Palace, I don't expect that ruthless and unrighteous old guy at all, I'm talking about another person. ”

After speaking, Yang Huahua's eyes were firmly fixed on Yang Yuhuan, and seeing that a trace of unnaturalness flashed in Yang Yuhuan's eyes, she couldn't help but be secretly proud, how could she Yang Huahua do something that she was not sure of?

Yang Yupei next to her was stunned for a while, who is the third sister referring to, wouldn't she be talking about her daughter?

Yang Yuhuan bit her lip lightly and said, "Third sister, I don't understand what you're talking about?" ”

"You know, you know it better than anyone else."

After speaking, Yang Huahua drank all the tea in the cup, stood up and said: "Okay, we won't disturb your Qingxiu, the Yang family's affairs are up to you, you recruited us into Beijing back then, you lifted us to the sky, and now let us fall down hard, you don't want to bear this responsibility, it's up to you, I can only say that this is our life, second sister, let's go!" ”

Yang Huahua picked up Yang Yupei and walked out, and heard her say loudly: "Second sister, do you know that someone is staring at us?" As soon as we do the slightest disrespectful behavior, the two of us will immediately fall to the ground, believe it or not? ”

"Third sister, I don't understand what you're talking about?"

"You don't understand, but someone does!" Yang Hua laughed and walked away.

Yang Yuhuan suddenly felt tired, she waved her hand lightly, and said to the maid Xue Niang: "You go!" Close the door and don't disturb me. ”

She let out a low sigh.

．．．．．．．． At noon, there was an astonishing news in the Daming Palace, the holy Li Yu officially issued an order, appointing the envoy of the Anxi Festival, and Li Qing'an, the king of Zhao, was the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, and the ruling secretary, and at the same time served as the secretary of the ministry, officially replacing Yang Guozhong, and Li Qing'an was still the protector of the Anxi capital and the envoy of the Anxi Festival, and did not take away his military power.

When this news came out, the government and the opposition were shaken, not that the border officials could not serve as the prime minister, when the Hexi Jiedu made Niu Xianke serve as the left minister, and Li Linfu was the right minister, he also served as the Shuofang Jiedu envoy and the Anxi Jiedu envoy at the same time, the distinction between civil and military affairs in the Tang Dynasty is not so strict, and examples of civil officials can fight abound.

The key is that while Li Qingan served as the right minister, he also actually led the envoy of Anxi, that is, he not only did not lose military power, but also grasped the power of the prime minister.

For a while, the people of the government and the opposition were talking a lot, there were opponents, and there were many supporters, the opponents were mainly concentrated in high-ranking officials and magnates, Li Qing'an's restriction on the land and abolition of slavery in Anxi made them have no illusions about Li Qing'an, and the supporters were mainly concentrated in the middle and low-level officials and the vast number of civilians, they did not care who was in power, they only cared about whether their own food and rice could be distributed in full, and only cared about whether the price of grain in Chang'an could remain stable, Li Qing'an was in power, the Anxi silver dollar would inevitably roll in, and the Anxi army would inevitably be stationed in Guanzhong, which was a great good thing.

When it was almost dark, Chang'an Daye Fang, a carriage drove into the gate under the protection of a hundred guards, the carriage traveled for several miles, and finally stopped in front of a mansion, this mansion is the mansion of the former minister Ling Hufei, Ling Hufei is Yang Guozhong's number one henchman, and his most trusted adviser, since ten days ago, Yang Guozhong was deposed from the right minister, and Ling Hufei was also dismissed from the post of the servant of the ministry, and he was idle at home.

The carriage stopped in front of Linghu Fei's mansion, and a guard ran up the steps and asked the gatekeeper, "May I ask if Linghu Envoy is at home?" ”

The porter glanced at the carriageway with the curtain closed suspiciously, "My lord is at home, may I ask who you are..."

The guard said in a low voice: "You quickly go and inform your master, just say that the Emperor Taishang has something important to visit." ”
