Chapter 32: The Enlightenment Proposal
(of.) (of.) Yang Yuanqing Yin returned to his seat with a calm face, his original good interest was ruined by Mrs. Zheng's prostrate words, at this time he had decided to move out of the Yang Mansion tonight, originally he couldn't bear to be sad with his grandfather, so he reluctantly lived in the Yang Mansion, but now he couldn't bear it, and he couldn't stay for a moment.
Yang Yuanqing was bowing his head and thinking about where to move tonight, whether to go to the Jin Palace, or to the inn where Shan Xiongxin lived, and after thinking about it, he decided to move to the Jin Palace. [Search for the latest updates]
Not far away, about fifty seats away from him, Mrs. Cai had already found her husband Zheng Shanyuan, and they looked at Yang Yuanqing and whispered something? Zheng Shanyuan's face changed, and he asked a few more words, Mrs. Cai pointed to Mrs. Zheng opposite, Zheng Shanyuan's face became heavier and heavier, and finally he couldn't sit still, got up and walked towards Yang Yuanqing.
Yang Yuanqing poured himself a glass of wine, and suddenly, someone behind him whispered: "Yuan Qingxian's nephew!" ”
As soon as Yang Yuanqing turned around, he saw that it was Zheng Shanyuan again, standing behind him with an embarrassed face, Yang Yuanqing really didn't have a good impression of the Zheng family at this time, he picked up the wine glass and asked lightly: "Is there anything else in Shibo?" ”
"I just got a piece of news, a friend of mine unfortunately passed away, tomorrow is going to be funeral, in Lantian County, I have to rush to tomorrow morning, I'm really sorry for the nephew, tomorrow's luncheon can only"
Yang Yuanqing sneered in his heart, this person was so fast, he also smiled, "Actually, I was also looking for an opportunity to tell Shibo that I happened to have something to do tomorrow and couldn't go to Zheng's Mansion for a banquet." ”
"That's the best, otherwise I'm sorry in my heart, and I won't be able to sleep well for a few days, so I'll be relieved and say goodbye first!"
Zheng Shanyuan arched his hand to leave, and when he walked a few steps, Yang Yuanqing suddenly smiled slightly: "Zheng Shibo, that Panying sword is actually sold in the market, twenty yuan a handful, if Zheng Shibo likes it, I will buy one and give it to you... How is it? ”
Zheng Shanyuan was shocked and ran away in a panic, Yang Yuanqing drank all the wine in the cup, he stood up and prepared to leave the birthday banquet... What he had experienced at today's birthday feast had made him fed up.
But at this moment, a shout came from outside the door: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!" ”
The main hall was quiet for a moment, there was silence, even the music stopped, everyone's eyes brushed towards the gate together, Yang Yuanqing's seat was right next to the gate, he stood there and looked very prominent... I had to sit down again for the time being.
A team of guards walked in from outside the door, quickly lined up into a wall, and isolated the guests on both sides, and after a while, Yang Guang's laughter came from outside, "I have always wanted to go to the border to inspect, and I am already thinking about it, and the Khan wants to entertain me well." ”
"The Turks are looking forward to your majesty's coming... It's like the prairie looking forward to the sun. ”
Immediately afterwards, a large group of people walked into the main hall, and the first two were the Sui Emperor Yang Guang and the Turkic Khan... Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty woke up from a nap, rested sufficiently, he seemed energetic, and the Khan talked and laughed and the Turkic Khan made a special trip to Beijing to meet the new emperor, just arrived yesterday, just met the birthday banquet of Princess Leping, dyed and dried is also full of energy, Yang Yuanqing killed the Datou Khan in the battle of Lake Hari, which directly led to the division of the Western Turks, and the Tiele tribes controlled by the Western Turks and the tribes of Dulan in the past have broken away from the Western Turks... Defecting to the Eastern Turks, the power of dyeing and control increased rapidly, and the population of each tribe has exceeded one million, dominating the steppe.
At this time, Dye Gan was already happy to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, and he finally became the overlord of the grassland from a down-and-out small clan leader, which was entirely thanks to the support of the Sui Dynasty... to make him thankful.
In addition, in the battle of Harry Lake, Yang Yuanqing defeated 20,000 Xue Yantuo's army with 3,000 people, so that Dye Gan witnessed the strong combat effectiveness of the Sui army, and the grassland people believed in strength, and the strong strength of the Sui army made Dye Gan dare not have any wrong thoughts.
Behind them, followed by Princess Yicheng and Empress Xiao of the Turkic Kedun, dozens of palace maids and shi girls followed behind them, but there were only two people behind Princess Yicheng, one was her personal Shi girl, and the other was a female guard with a sword, when Yang Yuanqing saw this female guard, he was stunned, he couldn't believe his eyes, and blinked again, that's right, it was Yu Chi Juan, at this time, Yu Chi Wan was no longer dressed as a Sui soldier, but changed to women's clothes.
Yu Chiwan wore a hat, a brocade Turkic skirt, a leather belt around her waist, and a sharp sword.
Yang Yuanqing's heart was in chaos, didn't Wei Chiwan go back to his hometown to visit relatives? When did he go to the grassland to become Princess Shiwei of Yicheng, why didn't he know anything about it?
Originally, Yang Yuanqing was about to slip away from the small door next to him, but Wei Chi's unexpected appearance made him dispel the idea of leaving, and he wanted to find an opportunity to ask Wei Chi in person.
But today's guest of honor is not only the Turkic Khan, but also the envoy of the King of Goguryeo, Da Zheng Lu (equivalent to the prime minister) Yuan Taizuo, this is a middle-aged man about forty years old, very tall, with a thin face, looking capable and powerful, next to him is followed by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, who looks like Yuan Taizuo, with a slender face and Yin Juan's eyes, which should be the son of Yuan Taizuo.
He was holding a jade Ruyi in his hand, but he was still holding it in his hand like a knife, Yang Yuanqing's sharp eyes noticed his fingers, the fingers were slender and powerful, as if they contained a very skillful power, just from the posture of holding the jade Ruyi, it could be seen that this was a sword master, but Goguryeo actually appeared this kind of sword master, which made Yang Yuanqing feel a little surprised.
The official next to Yuan Taizuo is Yang Yuanqing's father, Yang Xuangan, the secretary of Honglu Temple, because Yuan Taizuo is not the king of Goguryeo, so the accompanying grade is slightly lower, and there is also the prince of Silla who has entered Beijing in the past few days, but because Silla and Goguryeo are incompatible, Goguryeo participated in the birthday banquet, and the prince of Silla did not attend under the pretext of poor health.
The main seat in the front of the hall is still empty, and today's birthday banquet host Princess Yang Lihua has just come out and is already waiting, she has changed into a red satin brocade skirt, and her face is also smeared with a thin layer of fat powder, which looks radiant under the reflection of the light.
Qimin Khan knew Princess Leping, he hurriedly gave her a deep salute and congratulated her on her birthday, Yang Lihua returned the salute with a smile, and she affectionately pulled Princess Yicheng and let her sit beside her.
Princess Yicheng is precisely Yang Lihua's sister and the daughter of the clan, but she had a very good relationship with Yang Lihua before she got married.
They are all relatively close to nature, each other has a common language, today is the first time that Princess Yicheng has returned to her hometown since she got married for several years, she is in a particularly moving mood, full of words to tell.
Yang Lihua asked a little about the situation of the grassland (the latest chapter of Wu Dong Qiankun 81zw), and then she noticed Wei Chi who was standing not far away, and saw her heroic... She had the spirit of a heroine, so she asked with a smile: "Is this female guard you looking for in the grassland?" ”
Princess Yicheng glanced at Yu Chiwan and smiled: "She is actually the Sui army of Dali City, and she has always dressed as a man... Serving in the army for my father, I really needed such a personal guard, and she was willing, and it happened that I met her on the way south this time, and she came with me. ”
"Great Profit?"
Yang Lihua frowned and asked, "Then isn't she Yang Yuanqing's subordinate?" ”
"The eldest sister also knows Yang Yuanqing?"
"I know him very well, the young man is very good, he is very affectionate... I like him very much, but it's a pity that E-Ying married early, and she is a few years older than him, otherwise I would have to call him a son-in-law. ”
Yang Lihua made no secret of her liking for Yang Yuanqing, in fact, she also told Empress Xiao on the other side, Empress Xiao seemed to be savoring the peach, in fact, Yang Lihua knew that every word she said... Empress Xiao will listen to it.
Eying is Yang Lihua's only daughter, Yuwen Eying, who married Li Bi of the Eight Pillars Kingdom and the son of Li Chong of the Shangzhu Kingdom... Li Min, the prince of Jingcheng County, also gave birth to a daughter, named Li Jingxun, who turned five years old this year.
Yang Lihua just said this, but it was like this, which also surprised Princess Yicheng, originally Princess Yicheng returned to Beijing this time, but also wanted to tell the imperial brother Yang Guang about Yang Yuanqing's exploits in the Battle of Harry Lake, she heard that Yang Yuanqing was not rewarded for the Battle of Harry Lake, which made her extremely dissatisfied... No one else knew the significance of the Battle of Lake Harry, but she knew it.
However, Yang Yuanqing actually won the favor of Princess Leping, which made Princess Yicheng quite happy, at least Yang Yuanqing also had a backstage.
Princess Yicheng also smiled: "He is indeed very good, in Lake Harry, he also saved my life... This time I went to Beijing, and I also wanted to thank him personally, is he there? ”
Princess Yicheng looked around, looking for Yang Yuanqing's trace.
"He's here, in the seat by the gate, you can't see it here." Empress Xiao said lightly on the side.
Princess Yicheng was stunned, and she was about to ask Empress Xiao when there was a message of 'Dang! , a bell rang, and Feng Deyi, the master of ceremonies of the birthday banquet, said loudly: "Please give a speech to Your Majesty!" ”
The hall suddenly fell silent again, and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui picked up his wine glass and laughed loudly: "On this good night, I first express my most sincere respect to Princess Leping, I wish the princess a cup of eternal glory, we will first toast the princess!" ”
"I wish Her Royal Highness the princess eternal glory!"
The ministers raised their glasses together, drank it all, Yang Guang poured another glass of wine, raised his glass and said with a smile: "At the same time, I would like to express my gratitude to all the guests who came to the princess's birthday banquet, including our guests who came from afar, I am deeply grateful, it is now late autumn, it is the time of great maturity, I take the opportunity of the princess's birthday banquet to wish me a bumper harvest every year in the world of the Great Sui, peace in the world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone, we drink this cup again!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the ministers responded in unison, and drank the wine in their cups together.
At this time, the drums sounded, the music burst, and a group of dancers dressed as samurai rushed up to the main hall and danced a passionate and unrestrained breaking dance in the hall.
Dye Gan likes to be lively, he watched the dance for a while, and then shook his head, Yang Guang smiled on the side: "Don't you like it?" ”
Dye Gan replied: "The dance is very good-looking, but it is too soft, and it lacks a kind of masculinity." ”
Empress Xiao on the side smiled and asked, "What is the Turkic banquet used to help the fun?" ”
"Returning to the queen's mother, the Turkic banquet is generally played with wrestling, and there are also dances of Turkic girls, but more than the test riding and shooting."
In fact, the purpose of dyeing dry is to lead to cavalry shooting, in the Kaihuang years, the Turks twice sent envoys into Beijing and the Sui Dynasty to test riding and shooting, but both times were over, once was defeated under the hands of Changsun Sheng, once was defeated under He Ruobi, and this time Dyeing and dry into Beijing, also brought three young archers, he has been looking for opportunities, the Turks for the Sui Chen, directly proposed that the arrow seems to have a provocative meaning, so Dye Gan waited for the opportunity of the banquet, under the pretext of fun to compete, lose without losing face, win without hurting the relationship with each other.
Yang Guang was so smart, he immediately understood the meaning of dyeing and drying, he stroked his beard and smiled: "Do the Turks want to compete with the Great Sui?" ”!。
