Since Yang Hao took over Yinzhou, he has been busy expanding the army and the people, making taxes for households, demarcating administrative divisions, enforcing military discipline, and sending officials. Therefore, I have not taken care of meeting with the leaders of the Dangxiang Seven Clan, Hengshan Zhuqiang, the surrounding Tubo, Hui and the leaders of the Han tribes and cottages.

And this face must be seen, just from the etiquette point of view, the heads of the clan chiefs of the tribes and cottages cannot even see the face of the boss they follow, Yang Hao also needs to meet this leader in person, understand their needs, contact each other's feelings, there are many things that need their support, cooperation, and obedience, all of which need to have a face-to-face contact with these leaders, and at a deeper level, this is also the political need for Yang Hao to declare his sovereignty.

Therefore, as soon as many important matters that he needed to start handling immediately, this matter was immediately put on the agenda. These things are more laborious than marching and fighting, drawing up the invitation list, arranging the ranks, finalizing the constitution of the conference, all kinds of details, if you are not careful, there will be omissions, once there are omissions, there may be some unnecessary troubles between the tribes that are already delicate, between the tribes and Yinzhou.

There are really few people under Yang Hao's officials who can do this kind of meticulous thing, Xu Xuan, the former secretary of the Tang State Officials' Department, is obviously a prime minister who is good at governing politics and deploying talents, but he has been regarded as a diplomatic ambassador by Li Yu for a long time, and he is familiar with this kind of thing for a long time, so this matter was handed over to him to do, Yang Hao and Xu Xuan worked together for an afternoon, finalized some details, and then got up and returned to Yang's mansion.

This Yang Mansion may not be wider and deeper than the prefect's yamen built by Yang Hao in Luzhou, but the Luzhou Mansion is built by the mountain, stacked high on top of each other, conforming to the natural charm, and this original Yinzhou Defense Embassy is a regular five-entry courtyard, which is decent.

Walking to the back house, he suddenly heard a melodious and beautiful sound of the flute, like a heavenly sound, Yang Hao couldn't help but feel relieved, because the headache caused by thinking about many trivial things was also much lighter. He glanced up, and saw that the sound of the flute came from the courtyard where Wu Wa'er lived, and he smiled heartily, this Qingyin Xiaozhu master, is the first talented woman among his four beloved wives, ordinary Xiao Zhou came and went, whether talking about poetry, piano and chess, clothing, makeup, food, or Buddhism and Taoism classics, can answer like a fluent, and only Wa'er alone, although these knowledge is not helpful to national affairs, but to be proficient in everything, the effort is not inferior to a learned Confucian ten years of hard study.

Yang Hao wanted to tease his lovely and delicate daughter, but when he heard the sound of the flute, he turned around halfway and walked along the corridor of Quyuan to the baby's residence.

There is a curved pond in the baby's yard, there is a small bridge and wooden pavilion on the pond, there are strange rocks in the pool, and there are a few winter and summer trees by the pool. At this moment, it is winter, the pond water has frozen, covered with a layer of snow, the vines growing from the craggy rocks in the pond have also dried up, the branches are dyed with a layer of fluffy white snow, only the two plum trees by the pond are blooming golden flowers.

Xiao Zhouhou wore a white fur, stood under the plum tree, looked at the vine branches looming under the snow on the rockery, and helped a long flute, a clear and soft voice came out from the purple flute, reverberating leisurely, and this snow, this flower, and this person, perfectly constituted a picturesque landscape, ethereal and ethereal, but her eyebrows were still with a lingering loneliness and sorrow.

These days, she went to the Shuai Mansion every day, and gradually she also found that Yang Hao seemed to be completely hostile to her, maybe the words he inadvertently confided in that day did not arouse his sufficient vigilance, or maybe he had seen himself as a caged bird, and he was not worried about what threat he would pose to him?

yes, even if he knew what he wanted? Who can you tell yourself? Where is Zhao Guan's house? She was afraid to avoid it, and as for other forces, she didn't give up Yang Hao and divulge his secret to those people. After figuring out the joints, Xiao Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief. Death is not the most terrible thing, as forced by the situation, she does not hesitate to die, but this does not mean that she is willing to die, if she can live, of course it is better to live.

Although she knew that her worries were unnecessary, she still came to the Yang family often, on the one hand, because of Dong'er and Yanyan's hospitality, after this period of time, Xiao Zhouhou and them have become friends who talk about everything. Xiao Zhouhou is lonely, even when she is a high queen, she hugs her before and after, the stars hold the moon, and there are only respectful slaves and maids around her, jealous and inexplicable palace concubines, and flattering and awe-inspiring official concubines, if not, she will not see a Mo Yiming Mo girl who sees her as a normal woman, not a respectful queen to socialize, so happy, and quickly introduced her as a close friend.

Since arriving in Yinzhou, she is even more lonely, she can only stay in that small world with nothing to do every day and be alone, there is nothing to do, there is no topic to talk about, although quiet, but lonely is terrible, such a day or two may be enjoyment, but it is an invisible torture for a long time, especially for Xiao Zhouhou, a woman who is romantic and lively by nature.

In her residence, in addition to a few servants who have nothing to talk about, there is only one Li Zhongyu, who is not a few years younger than her, and the two have few words to say, and now Yang Hao is building a translation hall in Luzhou, Li Zhongyu is very bored, so he recommended himself and volunteered to go to the Luzhou Translation Hall to find a messenger to do it, and she was the only one left in the whole house, cold and lonely, without any anger.

So unconsciously, she liked the feeling of visiting Yang's Mansion, and with Dong'er, Yanyan, Doll, and Miaomiao, she would be very full and happy, and this feeling was something she had never felt before. However, when she saw Dong'er breastfeeding her daughter, when she was talking happily with the doll, Yanyan suddenly came with the account book, and when the two women went into the study to check the accounts attentively, Xiao Zhou would suddenly realize that this liveliness and warmth had nothing to do with her at all, she was just an insignificant spectator, so the inexplicable sadness was like a cloud covering the moon, quietly covering her heart.

She thought that the country was broken, the family was dead, and her husband was dead, but she was just twenty-six years old, like a withered flower, slowly withering and drying up, just like the vine that was hidden under the snow, and there was no trace of emerald, but ...... Now she knows that her heart is alive...... As long as they live, who can escape the temptation of soft red? The difference is only in which temptation you bow to. She longs to live, to live wonderfully, to live with taste. However, when the snow melts and spring fills the earth, the dead vine can bloom again, and what about her?

The heart fluctuated, Xiao Yin brought a touch of sadness, at this moment, a few crisp applause suddenly sounded in his ears, Xiao Zhou Hou Huo Ran looked back, only to see that the courtyard was silent, and there was no half a figure at all. For a while, Xiao Zhouhou thought that she had auditory hallucinations, she turned around, and just turned her lips with a flute, she heard a beautiful voice behind her: "Hehe, that merry old ghost who doesn't abide by the rules has really found the heir to the mantle, and this is really the same as the master and apprentice's ability to collect beauties." ”

"Who?"

Xiao Zhouhou subconsciously reprimanded, but when she turned around again, there was still no figure behind her. Xiao Zhouhou took a few steps back in surprise, almost suspecting that he was seeing a ghost in the daytime, but he heard someone behind him: "Hehe, you don't have to be afraid, this fairy Gu is not a ghost, nor is it a demon." ”

Xiao Zhouhou turned around suddenly, there was still no figure behind him, behind him was the Qu Chi, the snow in the pool was flat, and a finch had to make a paw print when it fell, but there was no trace on it, Xiao Zhouhou was even more frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... Are you a god? ”

"Hehe, yes, yes, it's right if you call me Sister Fairy."

This time the voice sounded in her ears, and even the faint breath between her lips and teeth had already hit her face, Xiao Zhouhou took a step back, and looked again, and a beautiful person appeared out of thin air in front of her. This person is wearing an apricot yellow robe, carrying a sword of green shark skin, the apricot yellow sword spike is sprinkled on the shoulder, the head is tied to a bun, and a green jasper hairpin is inserted horizontally on the bun, which makes her pretty face elegant and beautiful.

Although he was surprised by the strangeness of this person's appearance, but listening to her polite words, she was such a stunning Dao Gu, Xiao Zhou Hou was timid, and couldn't help asking: "This fairy girl...... Be...... Who is it? ”

At the moment, she was a little suspicious that this beautiful Taoist aunt was a fairy from heaven, and she pitied her misery and wanted to lead her to Elysium. With Li Yu chanting the Buddha for so long, it is no wonder that she has this thought.

The beautiful Taoist girl tilted her head and looked her up and down carefully, a pair of shining eyes, revealing a vague and empty soft and charming energy, this lively and fragrant charm, it is simply upside down, looking at a woman when inadvertently revealing the style is still so, if she intends to charm a man, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who can resist her charm, this kind of demeanor is not very much like a heavenly fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, However, Xiao Zhouhou had just seen her unpredictable appearance, and he didn't expect this for a while.

The beautiful Daoist looked at her carefully, and sighed a few times in admiration: "The country is beautiful and fragrant, I feel sorry for you, are you Tang Yanyan or Wu Wa'er?" ”

When Xiao Zhouhou heard this question, she came to her senses, when she was in the Tang Palace, Li Yu found many masters of Buddhism and Taoism to teach the scriptures, among which there are many masters from outside the world who can come and go, and now it seems that this beautiful Taoist aunt is also such a strange person. A few days ago, Yang Hao's assassination, Xiao Zhouhou also knew, although Yang Hao controlled Yinzhou, but there was still no shortage of people who were secretly hostile to Yang Hao, and now seeing the strangeness of this aunt, he asked Yang Hao's two wives when he opened his mouth, and Xiao Zhouhou was difficult to figure out her intentions.

She got Yang Hao's help, escaped Zhao Guangyi's poisonous hands, Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Wu treated her very enthusiastically, she was regarded as a best friend in her boudoir, she still has a trace of fun in her life now, all because of this family, they naturally have a sense of maintenance, this strange beauty in front of her Aunt Dao also does not know the meaning of good and evil, Yan Yan and the doll are now in the study, if this Aunt Dao has bad intentions, her martial arts are so high...... Thinking of this, Xiao Zhouhou did not hesitate to pretend to be Wu Wa'er, who had the most conversation with her, and said: "The slave family is Wu Wa'er, I don't know who this fairy girl is?" ”

When the Dao aunt heard this, she smiled, and her expression revealed a bit of affection: "Hehe, Wu Wa'er, the master of Qingyin Xiaozhu, is it the first line of the girder with good color and art?" Yang Haoxin mentioned your origin, and now when I look at it, it really deserves its name. So much more beautiful than when I was in Luoyang...... Uh......, yes, yes, what a lovely kid......"

Xiao Zhouhou listened to it secretly: "Da Liang? Since Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty and called the emperor and renamed Daliang as the eastern capital, Bianliang City has never called the name Daliang again, why is it still called such an ancient name? Child? Look at this aunt is two or three years older than me at most, why is she so old-fashioned? ”

Thinking so in his heart, Xiao Zhou didn't dare to show it at all, to put it on, Xiao Zhouhou can also be regarded as a smart character in ice and snow, otherwise he would not be able to play chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, song and dance, and he would not show flaws in the strain: "Yes, the slave family is Wu Wa'er, and the fairy aunt has not yet informed the slave family law number, I don't know if the fairy aunt law is coming, what is the intention?" ”

The fairy girl pursed her lips and smiled, and two charming dimples appeared on her cheeks: "The law name of this fairy girl, hehe, you can call me a silent master, I came this time, I was entrusted by Yang Hao's old ghost master, to teach you the art of this fairy girl, I live in Ziwei Mountain outside Yanmen Pass, I received a letter from Yang Hao, I learned that you are going to Shaohua Mountain to live in seclusion, I originally wanted to rush there directly, fortunately, I asked at random on the way, only to know that you actually arrived in Yinzhou......"

Xiao Zhouhou heard that she had no malice, so she didn't want to pretend to be Wu Wa'er, Xiao Zhouhou was about to explain her identity to her, and overheard her say that she was entrusted by Yang Hao's master to teach them martial arts, and she couldn't help but be moved, she usually chatted with Yanyan and them, Yang Hao once worshiped the legendary immortal-like Lu Dongbin as a teacher, she also knew, and this beautiful Taoist aunt in front of her was actually entrusted by Lu Zu to pass on their skills?

As soon as she thought of this, the words that came to her mouth were swallowed back, and Chi asked, "Immortal Gu...... Is the Immortal Gu going to teach me your martial arts that have come and gone without a trace? ”

The corners of Shizun's mouth curled, and she smiled a little wickedly, I don't know why she laughed so strangely: "Even if it's it, almost, hehe, anyway...... This immortal girl's skills are all to be taught. You're older, but you're ...... When I first practiced this method, I was about the same age, and I see that your bones are also superior, as long as you are not too stupid, you should be able to learn it. ”

Just said this, Mute Daogu's ears moved, and said with a smile: "Someone is here, the news of this fairy aunt is here, I don't want to publicize it to people, I live in Qiyunguan, this Yinzhou City, there is only such a Taoist temple, it is easy to find, you and Tang Yanyan will come there to see me." As for your family official, it doesn't hurt if you want to tell him about me, but...... Don't ask him to come and see me, he's the old ghost's apprentice, and he's embarrassed to see him. ”

Silent Dao Gu said that her shoulders shook, her whole body rose in the air, and her toes were a little more on the top of the rockery, and the whole person disappeared. ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "Let Her ...... Studying art? ”

Xiao Zhouhou's heart was hot, and a bold idea of impostoring suddenly came to him.

After experiencing the trauma of the country's collapse and the death of the family, and the life of displacement, Xiao Zhou later realized that what he had learned since childhood was useless.

A woman, especially a woman who has beauty but does not have enough power to protect herself, will only bring endless tragedy to herself. If he can be like this silent fairy girl, he has such a great ability, although he can't save his national fortune, but in the face of a person with bad intentions like Zhao Guangyi, he can at least protect himself.

After her lifetime, Zhou Nuying had the idea of stealing her name and stealing art for the first time, and her heart couldn't help but pound, she had a lot of contacts with those immortal monks in the Tang Palace, and she also knew that those masters attached great importance to the mantle, not everyone was willing to teach a body of art, in order to learn the ability to come and go, this was the idea of impostor.

That fairy girl mistook me for a doll, why don't I pretend to be her, she originally wanted to teach martial arts to Tang Yanyan and Wu Wa'er, treat me...... When I learn to teach them without reservation, won't that be enough...... As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and Xiao Zhouhou hurriedly raised his lips and pretended to blow a few syllables, but it was difficult to compose a song because of his scattered breath. At this time, Yang Hao's laughter came from behind him: "The lady knows that her husband is coming, but is she so happy that the song is out of tune?" ”

Xiao Zhouhou hurriedly turned around and said abruptly: "Ah, it turned out that the Taiwei had arrived." ”

Xiao Zhouhou is a typical Jiangnan girl, delicate and exquisite, slender, wearing this fur fur when the back and the doll cool Xiao, Yang Hao is preconceived, recognized this standing in the doll's yard, holding the young woman with a fallen horse bun except the doll, no one else, I don't want to recognize the wrong person, he opened his arms, eyebrows and smiled and was about to come up to hug, when he saw that it was Xiao Zhouhou, he couldn't help but make a big red face, and retracted his hands curtly: "Ah, Madame, forgive the sin, under the ...... It's really offensive to recognize the wrong person at the next moment......"

Xiao Zhouhou had just played the idea of pretending to be someone else's lady to learn martial arts, and his heart was empty, and his heart was beating rapidly, but he pretended to be calm, and said with a shallow smile: "Taiwei is polite, this is not offensive......"

At this time, as soon as the door of the study opened, Tang Yanyan and Wu Wa'er walked out gracefully, and the four pairs of beautiful eyebrows glanced at them together, which made Yang Hao's heart jump in shock, and he hurriedly smiled, and said solemnly: "Madam, please." ”

The group of four people entered the flower hall and sat down, Tang Yanyan said: "Brother Hao, I and Wa'er have just made up an account, you can barely make up the money to buy wells, grain seeds, and farm tools, but you are a little nervous, do you want to borrow more from Shangjia?" ”

Yang Hao shook his head and said, "Since you can make up for it, then don't borrow money." It's not just a matter of interest, we have to try to take on the pressure ourselves and develop the ability to solve problems, if the backbone is always someone else's, then once someone else leaves, how can you stand? ”

Tang Yanyan glanced at him with a blank look, and said angrily: "Okay, you can say no, it's okay, you want to talk about the big truth, who is tired of listening." ”

Yang Hao smiled: "I'm used to it, I'm used to it, if I have anything to tell you on weekdays, I always have to explain the cause and effect, so that the people below can understand my intentions and what I want to achieve in detail, and I'm used to it." Hehe, when I am familiar with people and don't need to explain everything clearly, you want me to say so much, and I don't bother to say it. ”

Tang Yanyan pouted: "Rare." ”

The doll walked behind Yang Hao, gently rubbed his shoulder, and said with a smile: "My sister is just coquettish with the official, why is the official so puzzled." By the way, how is the banquet for the chieftains arranged? ”

Yang Hao said: "The specific matters will be handed over to Lord Xu, you know, I don't know much about this kind of thing." However, there are many things, and Lord Xu is also a clever woman, and it is difficult to cook without rice. For example, in our Yinzhou City, after several wars, there are very few chefs who can get their hands on it, and it is a banquet, of course, this wine banquet can't be sloppy, but I want to make a few dishes that they don't usually eat, but none of them have landed. Doll, there is nothing to say about your cooking skills, but the dishes you make are too delicate to be suitable for these Northwest tycoons, do you know some dishes that have both the exquisite Central Plains cuisine and the grassland cuisine? ”

"What ...... this?"

The doll hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "The officials also know that those diners in Bianliang are all customers who don't get tired of eating and don't get tired of eating, and the dishes and chopsticks will disappear when they go down, and they are indeed not suitable for the taste of people here, but the slave family ......."

Xiao Zhouhou saw that their husband and wife flirted and scolded in front of him without scruples, and he simply regarded himself as a transparent person, and he was very uncomfortable, he wanted to get up and say goodbye, but when he heard this, he couldn't help blurting out: "Taiwei wants to make some delicacies that have both the fineness of Central Plains cuisine and the flavor of the grassland?" Maybe...... Perhaps the concubine can serve a few dishes. ”

Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Madame knows some unique dishes?" ”

Xiao Zhouhou's face was slightly dizzy, and he said a little embarrassed: "In the Tang Palace, in the past, I had nothing to do, and I had carefully studied the art of cooking, and the concubine body had indeed carefully studied it, and in addition to the palace banquet, I specially took the specialties of Siyi, or made dishes, or made dim sum, or made soup, and carefully developed a total of ninety-two dishes, presumably ...... Presumably it is exactly what the captain used. ”

In addition to the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, Xiao Zhouhou also invented the popular Tianshui Bi clothing in the south of the Yangtze River, personally cut a variety of fashionable clothes, developed a variety of powder rouge, developed a variety of dishes, etc., to put aside the modern era, Xiao Zhouhou is a dancer, musician, songwriter, fashion designer, beauty expert and the god of food who knows all kinds of dishes, etc., a series of titles are enough to make her the world's most versatile first-class talent.

However, at that time, these things were not elegant things, if an ordinary woman said that she was good at being a woman and cooking, it would be fine, but the queen of a country would be criticized for studying these things. Xiao Zhouhou didn't ask about politics, didn't talk about state affairs, didn't talk about power, and didn't like some virtuous queens, who had good intentions and exhorted her husband to work hard all day long, and devoted herself to national affairs.

When it comes to bones, she is a petty bourgeois young woman who just wants to be a happy little woman wholeheartedly and likes to make life artistic. If she is the wife of a famous minister, with these innovations, it is enough to compete with Li Qingzhao, Xue Tao and others, but she is the queen, this position and responsibility are different, Jiangnan literati lament the disaster of the country, there are already people in the poems to find the cause, the cause of the fall of the Tang State entangled in the disaster after Xiao Zhou, no wonder she was a little timid when she mentioned it.

Yang Hao didn't show the slightest disdain, but applauded and laughed: "God really helps me." Thank you, Madame, these dishes are all developed by Madame herself, and most of them must still remember, how about asking Madame to preside over this matter herself? ”

Wa'er clenched her little pink fist, lightly slapped him on the shoulder, and said lightly: "Is the official getting carried away?" The identity of the lady, how can she show her face, and how can these things be done by a woman's family in person? Please ask the lady to write a recipe, those three-legged cat chefs follow the map, can't they do it? ”

Yang Hao slapped his forehead and laughed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, it's still so appropriate." ”

Xiao Zhouhou finally found that what she had learned was also a little useful, and she was very happy in her heart, and she was also worried about the fairy girl who was hanging on the cloud view at this time, so she got up and said: "Since this is the case, the concubine will go back to the house immediately and transcribe the recipe." ”

"Okay, well, this matter is really urgent, not only do you have to let the chefs cook it first, adjust the taste, I'm afraid some rare ingredients also have to be purchased as soon as possible, then there is Mrs. Lao."

The doll smiled and said, "Then I'll send it to Mrs." ”

Xiao Zhouhou smiled lightly at Yang Hao and Tang Yanyan, bowed his head, and walked out with Wu Wa'er. Because of the joy in his heart, the steps became lighter, and he vaguely regained a little of his former vigor, and when the little Zhou Hou walked away with socks and golden shoes, what kind of style was it? Even Yang Hao couldn't help but cast an admiring gaze, but unfortunately, his gaze had just walked out of the house, and his ears were lifted by Tang Yanyan in his hand.

"Hey, if you look at it again, your eyes will fall to the ground."

Yang Hao laughed and said: "You girl, what kind of dry vinegar do you have, your officials just take a look." If you really want to be lustful, when someone threw himself into his arms and took the initiative to seduce him, your officials were already hungry and pounced, don't you say? ”

Tang Yanyan has a pungent temperament, but he can marry a wife, but he likes to be shy, and when he made fun of her about his original affairs, he couldn't help but be angry, and stomped his feet and said: "Okay, you, make fun of me about this again." ”

Yang Hao stretched out his hand to wrap his slender waist, Tang Yanyan sat in his arms, Yang Hao stroked her seductive buttocks, and said softly: "Lady, these days for me to be the master, tired, right?" In the past, when you were the eldest lady of the Tang family, you never didn't need you to worry about it. ”

Tang Yanyan glanced at him and said, "Hmph, are you just talking sweetly now?" I'm not tired, my own foundation, if I don't help you look at it, I'm not at ease. There is only one thing I am not reconciled to. ”

Yang Haoqi said: "What are you unwilling to do? ”

Tang Yanyan said: "People married you first...... It wasn't a lot of time before, but Sister Dong'er had a child first, and there hasn't been any movement in the stomach until now, do you say you're biased? ”

Yang Hao shouted and said: "This can't blame me, master, I have done my best, worked hard, and used a lot of kung fu on the lady, wow, you don't give birth yourself, who is to blame?" ”

Tang Yanyan hated, bit his lip, glared at him and said, "Hey, you are a husband, you are a belch, it's not up to you to decide whether this girl is alive or not?" I don't have the ability, and I have to blame others, because you are still a big husband. ”

Yang Hao picked her up, hugged her horizontally, and hummed: "Dare to say that your husband is incompetent?" Hey, this is a big taboo for men, little lady, today I will fight with you for 300 rounds, and see if you can't do it, or your husband can't do it. ”

"Hey, hey, it's still bright......"

"It's on, it's not the first time, it's still a light that is lit. Don't you know that oil prices are very high these days......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ when Xiao Yan walked into the lobby, Xu Xuan was buried in a pile of copywriting, and after he returned to his official office to deal with important official business, he spread out the detailed regulations of the group of heroes and carefully scrutinized the omissions.

Xiao Yan saw that he was focused, so he poured himself a cup of tea without seeing it, sat down on the chair, looked at him with Erlang's legs crossed, and after a while, he saw that he hadn't found out yet, so he coughed, Xu Xuan looked up, and couldn't help laughing: "Old Xiao, when did you come back?" ”

Xiao Yan smiled: "For a while, looking at your focused, you can't even notice that your court has been emptied." ”

Xu Xuan smiled and pinched his eyebrows, got up to leave the public case, and sat down next to Xiao Yan: "Have you done everything over there?" ”

Xiao Yan said: "At present, there are only so many, the books in the original treasury, the books donated by wealthy families, as well as the copied solitary books, rare books, and famous local literati, all sent to Luzhou." ”

Xu Xuan said with emotion: "I thought that Taiwei Yang was a force force, and he only knew how to fight for land, population, and build an army, but I didn't expect that these literati would care about and attach importance to things that were so important. Sometimes I really can't figure out where the captain got so many whimsical ideas. ”

Xiao Yan nodded with some feeling, and said: "Yes, prosperous industry and commerce, agriculture and animal husbandry, grace and power, and generosity can be used for a while." With the benefit, the transformation of the text, the integration of a family, in order to achieve long-term stability. Astronomical calendars, geographical chronicles, poems and songs, military books and war books, and even the classics of Confucianism, Taoism, Interpretation of the Law and Mo, are indispensable things for a country, but they are not the top priorities of the princes of one side. Mrs. Yang's plan is very big, and his vision is even more long-term. ”

Yang Hao intended to build Luzhou into a religious and cultural center, and Yinzhou into a political and economic center, so he not only built a translation library, a library and a printing hall in Luzhou, which embraced hundreds of schools of thought, absorbed the ideas and cultures of various ethnic groups, and also opened several schools. For the gathering of knowledge to be effective, it needs to be learned by many people. And Yang Hao is now only one of the four feudal domains in the northwest, and he began to do these things, so it is inevitable that even people like Xu Xuan and Xiao Yan will praise him: "Have the world in mind and have great ambitions." ”

When Xiao Yan said this, he suddenly remembered something again, and said: "Oh, by the way, when I came back, I met Mrs. in front of Qiyunguan, Mrs. Yang had just returned from Mrs. Yang's mansion, and it seemed that she was going to the temple to incense." It's really strange, Buddhism and Taoism, Mrs. has always believed in Buddhism, why don't you let the Buddhist temple go, and now she has converted to Taoism? ”

Since the death of the Tang Dynasty, he can't call Xiao Zhouhou his mother, only his wife. When he mentioned his wife, Xu Xuan naturally knew who he was talking about. After hearing him mention Xiao Zhou, Xu Xuan's face suddenly became a little uncertain, and he was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice: "Old Xiao, madam...... I've been going to Yang's Mansion too diligently these days......"

Xiao Yan said "hmm", noncommittal.

Xu Xuan glanced at him strangely, and then nodded: "Although the people don't know the identity of Mrs., there are also many rumors, which are very ugly. This one...... Have you ever heard? ”

Xiao Yan raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and asked, "Does Dingchen think that a figure like Tang Taizong can be regarded as a Ming Jun in the last generation?" ”

Xu Xuan blurted out: "Of course, why did Brother Maohui say this? ”

Xiao Yan didn't answer, and asked again: "Does Ding Chen think that Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others can be regarded as capable ministers in the previous life?" ”

Seo Hyun understood what he meant, and fell silent.

Xiao Yan said: "Emperor Yang of Sui is Li Shimin's cousin and Li Shimin's father-in-law, but Li Shimin accepted Empress Xiao of Emperor Yang of Sui as his concubine. The change of Xuanwu Gate, and the acceptance of the younger sister-in-law as a concubine, how is the cleanliness of the palace compared to Yang Hao? Why don't you see the likes of the virtuous minister Fang Du and others who are worried about Taizong's private affairs? Big mellow and small flaws, flaws are not hidden, since ancient times, which hero is not romantic? Do you want Yang Hao to be a saint? Can a saint be a good emperor? ”

Xiao Yan is nine years older than Xu Xuan, and at the age of ten, he took the boy test in middle school, and later became an official in the court, so there is nothing to say about moral knowledge. Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, once built a Chinese building, and the ministers praised it, but only Xiao Yan said: "It's a pity that there is a well missing downstairs." ”

The emperor asked him what he meant, and he said, "Therefore, it is not as good as Jingyang Tower." ”

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the later lord Chen Shubao ignored political affairs, indulged in lewd pleasures, favored Zhang Lihua, built Jingyang Building, and there was a well downstairs. In the third year of Zhenming, Sui will He Ruobi and Han Baohu invade Chen's national capital Jiankang, Zhang Lihua of "Yushu Houting Flower" committed suicide by throwing herself into the well, and Chen Houzhu was captured, and since then people have called this well "humiliating well". Xiao Yan angered the lord because of this sentence and was demoted to the place.

When Yang Hao and Ye Luwen fought in the Tang State Protocol House and had a conflict for the first time, he entered the palace to report that he saw Li Yu addicted to chess, ignored it, and angrily lifted Li Yu's chessboard.
