Chapter 5: The Princess's Treat
Yang Yuanqing returned to the capital in the afternoon, and he and Shan Xiongxin broke up at Mingdemen, and Yang Yuanqing returned to Yang's mansion.
Although Yang Yuanqing didn't like the Yang Mansion, especially when his grandfather Yang Su was not in the Mansion, he was very reluctant to live here, the Yang Mansion made him feel an indescribable depression, although under the pressure of his grandfather, the Yang Mansion had given him the treatment of a son-in-law, but Yang Yuanqing still felt a kind of gaze hidden behind him, like a needle, that was a kind of jealousy and dissatisfaction. [Search for the latest update.]
However, Yang Yuanqing had no place to go for a while, he could only go back to the Yang Mansion temporarily, fortunately, he had a single courtyard, and as soon as the door was closed, he could ignore the affairs of the Yang Mansion.
Coming to the gate of Yang's mansion, Yang Yuanqing turned over and dismounted, he was about to lead the horse into the mansion, but two people walked out of the mansion, talking and laughing, they were both thirty-four or five years old, with fair skin and elegant temperament, but they were all wearing official uniforms, and they turned out to be four-grade uniforms.
These two people are Yang Xuangan's younger brothers, one is Yang Wanshi, the other is Yang Renxing, they are Yang Sushu, mainly responsible for running the grange in the Yang Mansion, but in the past two days their brothers were elated, the two of them because of their father's Ping Yang Liang's merits, they had to be crowned with the four products and three divisions, and even the housekeeper Yang Xuanting also had to be awarded the honor of the official ceremony with the three divisions, and the Yang Mansion was rewarded with 50,000 silk horses and 1,000 silk horses, so that the entire Yang Mansion was like a festival.
"Yo! Isn't this Yuanqing? Where have you been during this time? The two brothers asked with a smile.
Yang Yuanqing secretly sent an envoy to Youzhou, and his official title was announced in Daizhou, most people in the capital did not know, and only a few people in the Yang Mansion knew about it.
Yang Yuanqing smiled and bowed, "Two uncles, I have something to do when I go out during this time." β
"Oh! You go get busy, we have something to go out. β
The two brothers only said hello to Yang Yuanqing lightly, turned around and left, the two of them didn't take Yang Yuanqing to heart at all, in fact, they took it to heart, but they just used this indifferent way to express their contempt for Yang Yuanqing.
Yang Yuanqing has rarely seen these two uncles since he was a child, and he only meets by chance during the New Year's holidaysγ»He felt a little strange in his heart, when did these two uncles become officials, why didn't he know at all?
"General Yang!"
Someone called him behind, Yang Yuanqing turned around, and saw three young men standing not far away, Yang Yuanqing recognized him, the person headed by was the guard officer under the King of Jin, named Yu Qingsi, the two behind were very young, both seventeen or eighteen years old, they were a pair of brothers, the elder brother Xue Wanjun, and the younger brother Xue Wanche, a pair of sons of Xue Wanxiong, the general of the right guard.
"It turned out to be General Yu, why are you here?"
Yu Qingsi stepped forward and smiled slightly: "We were ordered by the King of Jin to wait for you to come back, and we have been waiting for you for a long time." β
Yang Yuanqing was stunned, how did King Jin know that he was coming back today?
"Is there something wrong with His Royal Highness King Jin?"
"King Jin invited General Yang to go, there may be more important matters, if General Yang is convenient, please go with me now."
Yang Yuanqing didn't have anything to do when he went back to Yang's mansion, last time Yang Zhao treated him well, but he didn't say goodbye, he should go and see him.
"Alright! I'll go with the general. β
"Two Brother Xue, how is your martial arts training recently?"
"Yuanqing, let's compete with Ma Lance when we have time."
The Xue brothers are strong in martial arts, and they have always wanted to compete with Yang Yuanqing, Yang Yuanqing readily agreed, "Okay!" In a few days, we'll have a fight. β
Yang Yuanqing came to Yongchang Fang, just a team of more than 100 guards escorted a carriage out of the workshop, with a purple pennant on the roof of the car, and a 'Jin, the word, this is the carriage of the King of Jin.
"Yuanqing!"
Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, saw him from afar, and leaned out of the car window and waved to him.
Yang Yuanqing immediately stepped forward and bowed to him deeply, "See His Royal Highness King Jin!" β
Yang Zhao laughed and said: "Last time, you ran fast, but you disappeared without saying a word to me, and you should be punished with three glasses of wine." β
Yang Yuanqing also smiled a little embarrassedly, "Last time..... It was a bit of a surprise. β
"Don't talk about it, I know what's going on, how about it, get in the car and talk to me
Although Yang Zhao was very fat, he was enthusiastic and cheerful, Yang Yuanqing felt that he had something to say to himself, so he smiled happily: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." β
He handed over the war horse and the sky-breaking lance to the guard officer Yu Qingsi, and got into Yang Zhao's carriage himself.
When I entered the carriage, I found that the carriage was spacious and abnormal, like a room, with desks and bookshelves, and a **-year-old little scholar sitting, and the carriage was very comfortable, covered with a thick carpet, and there were two paintings of Wei and Jin celebrities hanging on the wall, and the carriage walked all the way without feeling bumpy.
"Just sit down!"
Yang Zhao smiled and asked Yang Yuanqing to sit down, and then instructed the little scholar, "Pour a cup of tea for General Yang." β
Yang Yuanqing sat down opposite Yang Zhao and asked with a smile, "How does Your Highness know that I am back in Beijing today?" β
Yang Zhao's smile showed a hint of cunning, "Not only did I know that you were back, but I also knew that you had a conflict with Yang's people on the Ba, right!" β
Yang Yuanqing understood, and he also smiled: "It should be said that because I had a conflict with Yang's people, His Highness only knew that I was back." β
Yang Zhao laughed, he gave a thumbs up, "Yes, smarter than I thought, but ....."
Speaking of 'However, two words, Yang Zhao's smile disappeared, his expression became serious, and he looked at Yang Yuanqing and said: "But with Yang's character, he will not let you go, you have to be careful yourself, don't be plotted by others, the gang of people under him can do anything vicious." β
"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, I will definitely be careful."
Yang Zhao smiled, and said earnestly: "In fact, the power pattern in the capital is very complicated, you must not only be cautious and cautious in the capital, but also pay attention to some power gates, don't easily provoke them and bring unnecessary trouble to yourself." β
After a pause, Yang Zhao sighed again: "My father wanted to move the capital to Luoyang and weaken the power of the Guanlong nobles, but the Guanlong nobles had strong opposition in the court, and my father was not long on the throne, so he couldn't suppress them. β
Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, the Guanlong nobles are very well-connected in the military, and they almost control a large part of the army and the northern scholars, Yang Yuanqing has also heard of this, but he is not very clear, so he asked: "Can Your Highness simply tell me about the humble position?" β
"I can really only briefly tell you that the relationship is too complicated."
Yang Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "In fact, the entire Great Sui is a gate valve world, there are many large and small gate valves in the world, at least there are thousands, but in the upper power structure, in fact, there are three major factions, one faction of the royal family, needless to say, and then the Guanlong aristocratic faction and the northern scholar faction, the Guanlong aristocratic faction is mainly represented by two families, one is the Dugu family, the other is the Yuan family, and other Guanlong gate valves such as Changsun, Yuwen, Hou Mo, Li, Yu, etc., are basically attached to these two families. β
After a pause, Yang Zhao saw that Yang Yuanqing was listening attentively, so he continued: "And the gate valve of the northern scholar clan is also represented by two families, one is your Hongnong Yang valve, and the other is Wenxi Pei valve, and the other northern scholar clan, such as Xingyang Zheng clan, Fanyang Lu clan, Qinghe Cui clan, Taiyuan Wang clan, Bohai Gao clan, Southern Xiao clan, etc., are also attached to these two major scholar clan gate valves, saying that it is dependent, in fact, it is also a combination of political interests, there is no master-slave relationship, and it is simple. β
Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, he probably understood a little, he didn't care about or be interested in this complex relationship of interests, then he remembered something, and asked, "Which gate valve does He Ruobi belong to?" β
Yang Zhao thought for a while and said: "He Ruobi is the same as Han Baohu, he is also a Guanlong nobleman, his father He Ruodun has a very good relationship with Dugu Xin, and He Ruobi often has dealings with the Dugu family, especially with Dugu Luo, He Ruobi was almost executed by the emperor's grandfather for several crimes, it was Dugu Luo who begged Queen Dugu to intercede, so he was spared, Yuan Qing, if there is a little Dugu family invites you to a banquet, it is definitely not a good banquet, maybe it is a Hongmen banquet, you have to be careful." β
Yang Yuanqing nodded and said, "Actually, I don't think that King Qi will directly trouble me, I suspect that he will use He Ruobi and my personal enmity to provoke He Ruobi to deal with me." β
"Not bad!"
Yang Zhao admired Yang Yuanqing's cleverness, and he sneered and said: "Now that Yang is trying his best, he will not offend your grandfather, and it is indeed possible to kill people with a knife, which is his usual specialty." β
The two talked all the way, and the carriage slowly stopped, and the waiter said outside: "Lord Wang, it's here!" β
Yang Yuanqing looked out through the car window, and saw them parked in front of an extremely large mansion, which made Yang Yuanqing suspect that this was the imperial palace, "Your Highness, this is ....."
Yang Zhao smiled slightly: "Don't ask, I'll take you to meet someone." β
The carriage stopped at the side door, and several eunuchs were already waiting at the door, and they stepped forward to salute, "Your Highness, the princess has been waiting for a long time." β
"Princess?"
Yang Yuanqing was stunned in his heart, what kind of princess could this be?
Yang Yuanqing looked at Yang Zhao suspiciously, but Yang Zhao didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "You just come with me." β
The two eunuchs helped him to go to the inner mansion, Yang Yuanqing was confused, and followed Yang Zhao into the mansion, the mansion occupies a huge area, but there are not many buildings, and there are not too many precious flowers and trees, and large forests can be seen everywhere, although it has passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, the trees here are still full of green, most of them are evergreen trees in all seasons.
The delicate small buildings are hidden in the dense shade of the trees, and the small river gurgles, making people feel as if they are in the forest, everything remains in the original state of the forest, and Yang Yuanqing feels that this place is very similar to the West Inner Garden that he hunted before.
Crossing a small bridge, they entered the inner house, the inner house is still densely shaded, and the outside is integrated, but the trees have also become much more precious, the southern pear, camphor, the western region peach, white cadima, etc., can be seen in the inner house.
To Yang Yuanqing, the owner here is a person who loves green trees and nature, I don't know which princess lives here? Let Yang Yuanqing be full of anticipation and curiosity.
They walked across a white jade bridge and slowly stopped, and several eunuchs were very careful, and their steps were slight, lest the footsteps alarm the front.
In front of it is a white jade platform surrounded by beautifully carved balustrades, and under the platform is a pool of water, in which groups of red carp are tumbling up and down for food.
On the platform stood a woman, tall, wearing a snow-white wide gauze skirt, black hair draped over her shoulders, like a waterfall, without any jewelry on her body, although the clothes were simple, but gave a sense of beauty and elegance, her temperament and the surrounding forest and lake water were integrated, as if she was a fairy in the forest.
She has a piece of wheat cake in her hand, and her slender white fingers .xzsj8.crumple the wheat cake, scatter it into the lake, and let the fish compete for food.
Yang Zhao stepped forward to give a salute, "Imperial Aunt, I brought Yang Yuanqing." β
Yang Zhao's call to the imperial aunt made Yang Yuanqing suddenly realize that he knew who this fairy-like woman was.
