Chapter Thirty-Nine: The First Meeting of Two Girls

On the 24th day of the lunar month, facing the heavy snow, Yang Yuanqing and his party returned to the capital with hundreds of people, they took the Jiangling Road, Yang Yuanqing worshiped his mother, immediately turned to the north, and finally rushed back to the capital before the New Year.

Chuchen sat in the carriage with the child in his arms, his daughter Bing'er slept sweetly in her mother's arms, her pink little face was dyed with a layer of red, Chuchen looked at the gray sky, goose feathers and snow flew all over the sky, covering the road, covering the roof, and every hurried road was covered with a thick layer of snowflakes.

The mood of the dust is as messy as this heavy snow, she doesn't want to see Yuanqing's wife, she wants to leave on the road several times, but this little baby in her arms makes her unable to leave in the end, she doesn't want to put on an illegitimate daughter's hat for her daughter again, and she also hopes that her daughter can get what she never got, her father's love.

It was this little man in his arms who made him aggrieved all the way back to the capital with Yang Yuanqing.

Entering the capital, as the imperial history, the first thing Yang Yuanqing had to do was to report to the saint, he couldn't go home, this was the rule of the court, and he was still in official business.

Yang Yuanqing urged the horse to come to the carriage, leaned over and smiled at the dust in the window: "I'm going to face the saint on a mission, you can go back first!" I'll have a few guards take you back. ”

Izumi was shocked, do you want to let yourself see that woman alone? "Yuanqing, how much time does it take for you to face the saint, I'll wait for you for a while."

"It's okay, I've already written back to the house in Jiangdu, Minqiu knows that you're coming, she should have packed up, come out of the dust, you go back!" You have to face it. ”

Izuchen nodded silently, she didn't insist anymore.

Yang Yuanqing turned the carriage and said to several iron guards: "You escort the second lady back to the house, I will go to face the saint, and I will come back by myself later." ”

Several iron guards bowed down to receive the order, and Yang Yuanqing whipped his horse violently and galloped towards the palace.

．．．．．．

Dozens of soldiers guarded the carriage, and walked for a while, the carriage turned into Chongye Fang, Yang Yuanqing's mansion is located in the middle of Chongye Fang, not far from the door of the fang, at this time Pei Minqiu has been informed by Yang Balang first, and waited at the door with dozens of maids.

"Madame, here you are!"

Green Tea's eyes were sharp, and he saw the carriage from a distance, which was coming this way in the snow.

Pei Minqiu immediately turned around and told all the maids: "This is the second lady, you are not allowed to be rude, whoever dares to be rude, drive out of the house immediately!" ”

The maid and the woman hurriedly nodded in agreement, at this time, the carriage had arrived in front of the steps, an iron guard opened the door, Chuchen held the child in one hand, held the doorknob in the other, and carefully walked off the carriage, Minqiu gently pushed the green tea, and the green tea hurriedly ran down the steps with an umbrella and helped Chuchen.

"Second lady, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

When Izuchen saw a familiar person, she was a little settled in her heart, so she smiled, "It's exactly two years." ”

At this time, with the support of a maid, Minqiu went down the steps, greeted him with a smile, and gave a salute, "Minqiu has seen Sister Chuchen!" ”

It's the first time Izumi has seen Pei Minqiu, seeing that she is beautiful, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and has an extraordinary temperament between her gestures, Izuchen can't help but secretly admire, 'It is worthy of everyone's beauty, and it really deserves its reputation.' ’

She also smiled slightly: "You just call me out of the dust!" ”

Izuchen knew in my heart that although she was older than Minqiu, Minqiu was the eldest woman, and Minqiu called her sister, which was a very low gesture, deliberately respecting herself, and Izuchen had a good impression of Minqiu in her heart.

Pei Minqiu saw that Chuchen was also elegant and beautiful, if he was his name, she knew that Chuchen was actually from a famous family in the Shen family in Jiangnan, not an ordinary commoner, and she didn't mean to despise it in her heart, and looked at the child in Chen's hand, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is the little guy asleep?"

"Hmm!"

Izuchen handed her daughter, "You come and hug it!" ”

"May I?"

Pei Minqiu took the child carefully with a smile, uncovered the corner of the veil, and quietly glanced at it, seeing that the child was very cute, she sighed in her heart, this is her husband's eldest daughter, but unfortunately it is not her own child.

Holding the child, this wonderful feeling also awakened the motherhood in Minqiu's heart, and she gradually fell in love with the little lovely person in her arms, so she smiled and said: "What a beautiful little beauty, don't wake her up." ”

Seeing Minqiu praising her daughter, she had a good impression of Minqiu in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face, "She slept all the way, and it was time to wake up." ”

As soon as the words fell, the child in Min Qiu's arms immediately began to cry, and Min Qiu suddenly panicked, "She's awake!" ”

"It's okay, give it to me!"

Chuchen took his daughter, held her in her arms and gently coaxed her, but Bing'er couldn't stop crying, her voice was loud, and Chuchen smiled: "Listening to her fierce cry, you know that she is hungry." ”

Min Qiu hurriedly said, "I prepared buttermilk, it's still hot!" ”

Southerners don't drink buttermilk, and they are afraid that their daughters will not be used to it, so some are confused: "Is there rice porridge?" ”

"Yes! I used the best Huzhou rice to boil a can of rice porridge, I was afraid that the little guy would not be used to buttermilk. ”

She hurriedly instructed the maid, "Go and get rice porridge quickly, in my west wing." ”

Min Qiu smiled again: "I specially cleaned up a yard for you, the house is very warm, let's go talk in the house!" ”

It was with the common language of children that the embarrassment of Minqiu and Izuchen meeting for the first time was resolved, and all the maids and women surrounded them into the mansion.

．．．．．．．

The snow was still falling, and on the square of the Xuanzheng Palace, hundreds of eunuchs were sweeping away the thin layer of snow that had just accumulated, and Yang Yuanqing stood at the foot of the steps and waited patiently for Emperor Yang Guang to summon him.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came from the corridor of the side hall, Yang Yuanqing turned around, only to see an official walking in a hurry, a pillar blocked his face, Yang Yuanqing only saw a purple gold fish bag, this is at least a high-ranking official from the third grade.

Soon, the official walked out of the corridor, Yang Yuanqing was slightly stunned, it turned out to be Li Yuan, Li Yuan was just a young eunuch from the Sipin Palace, was he actually promoted?

I saw Li Yuan's red face and high spirits, obviously he had just gotten good news, and at this time Li Yuan also saw Yang Yuanqing, he immediately walked up with a smile on his face, and said from afar: "General Yang, it's been a long time!" ”

Yang Yuanqing got rid of Zhang Jin, Li Yuan is the biggest indirect beneficiary, Yang Guang in order to maintain the balance of the Guanlong nobles, fill the vacancy of Zhang Jin, then promoted Li Yuan Dali Siqing, officially promoted from the third rank of high-ranking officials, so that Li Yuan officially entered the ranks of high-ranking officials.

This made Li Yuan infinitely happy, he could never have imagined that the result of the last brutal struggle in officialdom would be the profit of him Li Yuan.

Li Yuan faced the saint just now, Yang Guang was in a good mood, he knew that Li Yuan had many children and his family was not very wealthy, so he rewarded him with a grange located in the west of Chang'an and close to the Wei River, which was Zhang Jin's grange, covering an area of thousands of acres, so that Li Yuan was promoted to become rich and happy.

So when he saw Yang Yuanqing, his smile was much brighter, if Yang Yuanqing hadn't brought down Zhang Jin, how could he have gained so much.

Yang Yuanqing learned halfway through that he was named General Zuo Xiaowei, taking over the former position of Zhang Jin, and his title was also promoted to the rank of county duke.

When he saw that Li Yuan was full of glory, he returned the salute and smiled: "Li Shaoqing has been promoted?" ”

"I was loved by the saint, I rose a little bit, and now I am the Dali Temple."

Li Yuan smiled and squinted, and waved his hand again and again, "The official is lowly and small, it's not worth mentioning, see it!" Laugh! ”

"Then I should be called Li Siqing, congratulations!"

The two exchanged a few words, and at this time, the guards shouted in the distance: "There is a decree in the saint, Yang Yuanqing, the general of Xuanzuo Xiaowei, will meet you!" ”

"Li Siqing, the Holy Lord announced that I am here, and I will visit me another day!"

"Okay, I'll prepare a thin wine and wait for General Yang to come to the door, and we will talk about the old friendship."

Li Yuan arched his hand and left, Yang Yuanqing looked at his back, and had to admire this Li Yuan's deep scheming, and he made up a proverb behind his back and stabbed himself, at this moment it was as if nothing had happened, the smile was cordial, the tone was sincere, there was no sense of falsehood, and the old friendship was recounted, which really responded to the old saying, there are no eternal enemies in officialdom, and there are no permanent allies, and some only have the intersection of interests.

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, turned around and walked towards the imperial study.

The imperial study is as warm as spring, the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang has just met Li Yuan, and is ready to review the recital, in fact, Yang Guang also came back ten days ago, he went to Hengshan to worship the sky, he has been on the throne for nearly five years, but the time he really stayed in the capital is less than a year, most of the time is to inspect all parts of the world.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, Yang Guang's mood is also particularly comfortable, he has just received a report that the counties south of the Yellow River, which have been in drought for two consecutive years, have fallen heavily one after another, which has effectively alleviated the winter drought and made next year's summer grain harvest in sight.

What made Yang Guang feel even better was that the removal of Yuanshou and the removal of Zhang Jin caused serious infighting within the Guanlong aristocracy, and the two factions of the Yuan family and the Dugu clan were incompatible, forcing the various families of the Guanlong nobles to choose to take sides, and the Guanlong nobles began to split, which was something Yang Guang had been looking forward to for a long time.

Before his father's death, his father had instructed him that the three major hidden dangers of the Sui Dynasty were the most threatening to the Guanlong nobles, so it was a major matter that Yang Guang had been dealing with for several years to completely eradicate the Xianbei nobles and restore the orthodoxy of the Han family.

His method is to eliminate, balance, eradicate and rebalance, but this balance is getting smaller and smaller, and in the end, the Guanlong nobles are torn apart, and their power in the court is weak, which is when he begins to solve the military power of the Guanlong nobles.

This time, after the Guanlong nobles suffered a heavy setback, Yang Guang had to start thinking about the means to solve their military power, and he had to find the best opportunity and excuse, he knew that this could not be rushed, and he set himself a three-year deadline.

"Your Majesty, Yang Yuanqing has been announced, and I will see you outside."

Yang Guang nodded, "Order him to come in!" ”

After a while, Yang Yuan hurriedly walked in and bowed down, "Minister Yang Yuanqing sees His Majesty the Emperor, I wish Your Majesty long live, long live, long live, long live!" ”

"General Yang is exempt from courtesy!"

Yang Guang looked at his confidant and nodded, Yang Yuanqing did not disappoint him, a trip to Jiangdu, successfully eradicated Zhang Jin, today, he wants to reward Yang Yuanqing.
