Regardless of the dynasties, the victory over foreign invasion is an extremely exciting thing, and the Great Sui is no exception, the news of the defeat of more than 200,000 Turkic troops in Mayi County reached Taiyuan, Hedong and Hebei, and the whole country celebrated.

The city of Taiyuan is full of boiling, people spontaneously go to the streets, beat gongs and drums to celebrate the victory, and celebrate this hard-won victory with joy from the heart.

The victory also aroused people's enthusiasm to defend their homes and the country, and in just five days, more than 300,000 young and strong people from all parts of the Sui Dynasty asked to join the army.

Although the Sui army suffered heavy casualties in the Sui Turbulent Campaign, it did not immediately recruit troops on a large scale, but took advantage of the situation to begin to fully implement the militia system.

At the behest of Yang Yuanqing, the Ministry of War issued an order for the militia regiment, ordering all counties and counties to establish militia regiments before the end of the year and concentrate young and strong people on training in their spare time, which was actually to create conditions for the next large-scale conscription.

When Yang Yuanqing returned to Taiyuan City, more than a month had passed since the victory over the Turks, and people's enthusiasm had gradually subsided, and the millions of people who had gathered in Taiyuan City to escape the war had also returned to their hometowns and began to rebuild their homes to prepare for the New Year.

At this time, it is the middle of December, only half a month away from the New Year, the city is filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, the peach charm is changed at the door of every house, the bamboo pole of the banner is also erected early, the streets and alleys, you can see groups of men gathered in one place to pound the yuan rì cake, the wooden hammer flies, the rice fragrance overflows.

Groups of children are running and playing in the snow, shouting happily, and there are all kinds of snowmen they have piled up everywhere, and Taiyuan City is filled with a festive and peaceful pre-festival atmosphere, which makes people's hearts extraordinarily peaceful.

Yang Yuanqing entered the city from the west gate under the escort of hundreds of personal soldiers, although he had only been away for more than two months, but this time, Yang Yuanqing felt as if he had been gone for many years. Seeing the tall white pagoda in Ci'an Temple not far away, Yang Yuanqing actually had a feeling of being separated from the world.

Although Yang Yuanqing could no longer enjoy the welcome of singing and dancing in the city when he entered the city, he still realized a little difference from the previous city.

When the pedestrians on the road suddenly recognized that the cavalry entering the city was actually the return of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, they dodged to both sides to make way for them, and many old people knelt down and bowed to him. /\/\/\/\

The number of people on both sides of Jinyang Street gradually increased, and many people ran out of their homes and stood silently on both sides of the road. His eyes were filled with gratitude. They greeted His Majesty the Emperor in their hearts with great sincerity.

Everyone silently watched the King of Chu walk slowly, and at this time, I don't know who shouted, "Long live the King of Chu!" ”

This shout was like a key, which made the silent crowd excited, and the crowd on both sides of the avenue suddenly erupted into earth-shattering shouts: "Long live the King of Chu!" ”

"Long live the King of Chu! Long live the King of Chu! ”

Countless people raised their arms and shouted. It's a cry from the heart, and a lot of people's eyes are moist, for them. The victory of the Turks in the Great Sui was not just a victory in a battle, but gave them hope and an end to the war. The hope of restoring peace, they longed to live in peace, to live without war.

There are more and more people, and tens of thousands of people have accumulated on both sides of the street, and the black crowd stretches for miles. A patrol army of more than 1,000 people also rushed to hear the news, and under the command of the general, they escorted on both sides of the team, blocking the excited people who rushed forward for Yang Yuanqing.

Many people ran with Yang Yuanqing, shouting loudly, and many people knelt down, using their big gifts to express their inner excitement and admiration.

Yang Yuanqing kept waving his hand to everyone, silently feeling all this, and the enthusiasm and gratitude of the people made his eyes moisten a little.

He could feel the heartfelt gratitude of his people, but at the same time they felt their desire to live in peace, without war or hunger.

It has been eight years since the great turmoil in the middle of the Great Cause, and everyone is tired of the war and turmoil, and they are eager to have children, and they don't have to worry about tomorrow's rice.

They once had such a life, it was in the prosperous era of the emperor, just more than ten years ago, they longed to live such a life again, at this moment, Yang Yuanqing felt the burden on his shoulders, that is, to end the war as soon as possible and unify the world......

When he came to the Chu Palace, he felt another kind of welcome, and the warm welcome on the street had already alarmed the whole family.

His wives and daughters, his sons and elders, and the servants of the palace flocked to the gate waiting for his return.

"Daddy!"

The eldest daughter Bing'er and the second daughter Sihua were so excited that they waved their hands and ran towards him together, Yang Yuanqing hurriedly turned over and dismounted, squatted on the ground, stretched out his arms, and the two daughters threw themselves into his arms like little family sparrows.

Yang Yuanqing hugged his two precious daughters tightly, his heart was about to explode with joy, at this time, his eldest son Yang Ning hesitated, also ran over, and took his father's hand, he looked at his father, and there was an endless admiration in his clear eyes.

At this moment, Yang Yuanqing suddenly communicated with his son's heart, he stood up and touched his son's brain, and at this time, the second son Yang Jing also ran over, grabbed his father, and looked at a group of lovely children, and his heart swelled with feelings for his children and calves.

"Daddy didn't bring you any gifts this time!" Yang Yuanqing said with a smile.

"We don't want daddy gifts, we have gifts for daddy." Yang Bing said with a grin.

"Why are you giving me a gift?" Yang Yuanqing asked puzzled.

The second daughter, Sihua, was like fire, she was straightforward and fast, and she said it all at once, "Did Daddy forget?" What is the New Year? ”

As soon as the words came out, Yang Sihua hurriedly covered her mouth and looked at her eldest sister in horror, Yang Bing glanced at her complainingly, and blamed her for talking too much and revealing the secret.

Yang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Yuan rì was not his own life? He pinched his second daughter's face and smiled slightly, "Daddy is stupid, I can't remember what it is." ”

Yang Sihua stuck out her tongue, she actually knew that her father had remembered, at this time, Pei Minqiu stepped forward, clapped her hands and smiled: "A few little guys have enough to entangle Daddy, Daddy has worked hard all the way, he has to go to the bath and change clothes, and then talk at dinner at night." ”

Yang Yuanqing just wanted to say something to his wife, but Pei Minqiu smiled, "Don't say anything now, go take a bath and change clothes first." ”……

After experiencing the jubilation of entering the city and the affection of entering the family, Yang Yuanqing finally quieted down, and could finally hide in the wide and comfortable soft chair in his study.

The light in the inner study was half dark and half bright, and a pot of charcoal had already been burned, which made the room warm and warm, and the room was filled with a dry and hot charcoal fragrance, Yang Yuanqing squinted his eyes, and this kind of comfort from the inside to the outside almost made him fall asleep.

At this time, the door opened, Pei Minqiu walked in with a cup of ginseng tea, she put the teacup on the table, and saw that her husband was already half-asleep, she was startled, and hurriedly wanted to leave.

"Talk to me!" Yang Yuanqing slowly opened his eyes.

"Didn't the husband fall asleep?" Pei Minqiu smiled apologetically.

"I want to sleep, but I just can't." Yang Yuanqing smiled and struggled to sit up.

Pei Minqiu sat down next to her husband, she actually had a thousand words to say in her heart, but at this time she didn't know where to start.

"Let's talk about the big things at home!"

Yang Yuanqing stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his wife and took her into his arms, Pei Minqiu snuggled in her husband's arms, she suddenly remembered the time when she first got married, when her husband was sitting in front of the window reading a book, she snuggled in her husband's arms so affectionately, thinking about how many children she would have in the future.

Ten years have passed since this moment, and she seems to have found the feeling of intimacy back then, "Hmm! Later, I will tell you slowly, now let me lie down for a while, and don't speak. ”

Yang Yuanqing gently stroked the tips of her hair, smelling the faint scent of gardenia on her head, which was his favorite hair oil.

"Is Asto pregnant?" Yang Yuanqing felt that the joy in Asduo's eyes was a little different.

"How do you know?"

Pei Minqiu sat up straight, she had never written to tell her husband about it, she wanted to surprise him, but her husband actually knew, which made her very surprised.

"I feel that the person I was most worried about was her, after all, the defeat of the Turks, she would feel uncomfortable, I thought she would be silent, but she was very happy, and that joy was like something big to tell me in a hurry, so I guessed that she was pregnant."

"You eyes! It's really poisonous. ”

Pei Minqiu smiled helplessly, "She is indeed pregnant, this should be the first major event in the family, and then the second major event is that your aunt is coming, she has already entered Hedong, and now she should be in Shangdang County, and she is here to celebrate the New Year with us." ”

Yang Yuanqing was suddenly overjoyed, his aunt was coming, and this year would be reunited, he suddenly asked excitedly: "What other good news?" ”

At this time, Yang Yuanqing was already sleepy, and he was looking forward to his wife to say more news that surprised him.

"Hmmm! Everything else is very plain, like the Queen Mother and the Holy Elder who live in our house, is this a big deal? ”

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I know all this, I mean family matters." ”

Pei Minqiu thought about it again, and said with some hesitation: "There is one more thing, it's a little weird, I don't know...... How to say. ”

"What's the matter, you say." Yang Yuanqing found that his wife's expression was not quite right, and he was a little uneasy in his heart.

Pei Minqiu bit his lip lightly, and then he swallowed: "About three days ago, Aunt Liu, who was in charge of pruning flowers and branches in the backyard, dug out a rusty copper box in the backyard when she was clearing the snow, and inside the box was a white jade seal, which was engraved with the words 'Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang', I blocked the news about this matter, only me and Chuchen knew, and Aunt Liu and the housekeeper would never say it." ”

After speaking, Pei Minqiu said worriedly: "Husband, do you say this is the will of heaven, or did people deliberately put it into our backyard, if it is the latter, it is very dangerous!" ”

Yang Yuanqing's brows also furrowed slightly, "You show me the things first." ”…… (To be continued.) If you like this work,. )
