Yang Yuanqing and Changshi Wei Siyun were already waiting at the border, and when Emperor Sui's holy chariot appeared, they immediately came to meet him. http://

Like Du Ruhui, Wei Siyun was both expecting and worried about this visit to Wuyuan County, hoping that the Holy Emperor would strengthen the immigration of Wuyuan County, and the imperial court would provide financial and manpower support to restore the abandoned Han Dynasty irrigation canals.

Although Yang Yuanqing had already bought more than 100,000 cattle and sheep from the Turks, Wei Siyun had already learned that hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep could only last for four days, and if the Holy Lord wanted to inspect Dali City, it would inevitably take more than four days, and the food they prepared would obviously be insufficient.

Yang Yuanqing saw Wei Siyun's worries, and as he walked, he comforted him in a low voice, "Changshi, don't worry too much, the situation in Wuyuan County is also known to the saint, he won't embarrass us too much, I think they should also bring food themselves, we just need to ensure the food supply of the saint and the hundred officials, as for the army, do your best!" ”

"Alas! You can only do your best. ”

Wei Siyun sighed, and walked into the city with Yang Yuanqing quickly, the guards led them to the city, Yang Yuanqing and Wei Siyun hurriedly took a few steps forward to meet the emperor.

"Minister Yang Yuanqing and Wei Siyun see His Majesty the Emperor, I wish His Majesty the Emperor long live, long live, long live!"

Yang Guang was in a good mood, he waved his hand and smiled: "The two Aiqing are free of courtesy!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two stood up, and Yang Guang asked Yang Yuanqing with a smile again, "Manager Yang, how do you feel about my city?" ”

"It can be called a masterpiece of the devil's axe, the minister believes that this city is more suitable for the flat steppe, if the Turks see it, they must think that the gods have descended to earth."

Yang Guang laughed, "I inspected the grassland last year, and also built such a temple to watch the wind, which is slightly lower than this city, as I said, the Turks saw it, and they all bowed their heads to worship, and the Great Sui artifacts were not something that they could imagine as the barbarians of the grassland." ”

Yang Yuanqing saw that Yang Guang was in a good mood, so he secretly gave Wei Siyun a look, Wei Siyun understood, took a step forward and knelt down, and held a book high above his head, "Your Majesty, this is some of the thoughts of Weichen and Yang General Manager on Jingluo Hetao, the north is short of water, it is difficult to cultivate on a large scale, but the Hetao has fertile land and abundant water, as long as the irrigation canal of the Han Dynasty is restored, hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land can be reclaimed, which can feed millions of people, and both the minister and Yang Guan believe that as long as the Hetao is prosperous, it will be of great significance to suppress the Turks, Your Majesty, please, consider it. ”

Yang Guang nodded, ordered someone to accept the fold, and said to the two of them: "Before I decided to inspect the Five Plains, I also specially watched the development of the Hetao by the Han Dynasty, which made me sigh with emotion, since ancient times, only a strong dynasty can open up territory, the population of my Great Sui has exceeded that of all dynasties, and the strength of the Great Sui is also difficult to compare with the previous dynasties, and we should not do worse than the Han Dynasty."

Therefore, I devoted myself to doing several major things, I spent two years digging the Tongji Canal and the Yongji Canal and the Jiangnan River, and the south also quelled the rebellion of the Linyi Kingdom, and hit the south of Ma Yuanzhu, from this year onwards, my eyes will be turned to the west, one is the Western Regions, and the other is the Hetao, which is also the main reason why I came to inspect the Hetao. ”

Yang Yuanqing and Wei Siyun glanced at each other, and they couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, the words of the Holy Lord revealed his idea of developing the Hetao on a large scale, which was exactly what they dreamed of.

They bowed down together, "Your Majesty's grand ambition is exactly what the 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Hetao are looking forward to. ”

"I know in my heart that my inspection is not a tour, and some things cannot be solved by staying in the palace."

Yang Guang smiled slightly, "I know that I can't afford to stay in Wuyuan County for too long, so let's go directly to Dali City!" I want to see with my own eyes what kind of fortified fortress Dali City is, so that 100,000 Xue Yantuo people hate the city. ”

Yang Guang gave an order, and hundreds of thousands of troops marched towards Dali City.

．．．．．．

After meeting Emperor Yang Guang, Yang Yuanqing came to Yang Lihua's palace again to meet this royal princess who loved him very much.

Yang Lihua saw Yang Yuanqing, and aroused her sadness about her granddaughter's illness, and couldn't help crying, Yang Yuanqing also knew about Li Jingxun from Pei Minqiu's letter, thinking of Li Jingxun's illness and weakness, and finally failed to become an adult, he was also a little sad, so he comforted her softly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, people can't be resurrected after death, and more importantly, the living can take care of themselves, if Her Royal Highness the princess is interested, the minister is willing to accompany the princess to the grassland to ride a horse to relax, and look at the vast grassland, which can alleviate the worries of Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Yang Lihua sighed, "Yuanqing, thank you for your comfort, I really want to ride a horse to relax, okay!" After going to the grassland, stay with me. ”

"Obey orders!"

At this time, Yang Lihua thought of a few more things, and smiled slightly: "Yuanqing, a yes marriage, Minqiu is sixteen, I hope to find time to go back to marry Minqiu, and set up a wife early, which is not against filial piety." ”

"The minister has decided to take leave this year to go back and marry a wife, but it must be approved by the Holy Lord."

"I've already passed over there on the Holy Side, he's fine, even if he goes back, there's still something about his father."

Yang Yuanqing was silent, this year is the fourth year of the great cause, counting that he and the Yang family have been against each other for five years, although the punishment of the Yang family was to be expelled for three years, but three years have passed, and he has not returned, and his heart has long been indifferent to the Yang family, but more than a year ago, his father Yang Xuangan visited Pei Mansion and visited Pei Minqiu, indirectly expressing his reconciliation with Yang Yuanqing, but Yang Yuanqing has been silent.

Yang Lihua persuaded him again: "After all, he is his father, even if he refuses to go back to the Yang family, but he can't be a stranger to his father, and he is not much close, at least on the surface, Yuan Qing, everyone knows that it is because he was expelled from the Yang family that he has an indifferent relationship with his father, so everyone sympathizes, but when his father takes the initiative to reconcile, but ignores it, this is a bit unkind, so it is not good for the reputation, the DPRK and China have already criticized, Yuan Qing, he is already twenty years old, don't play temper like a child anymore, listen to me, give my father a face, All right? ”

Yang Yuanqing also understands in his heart that Yang Lihua is right, filial piety is the foundation of life, this is the morality of the world, if he can't even do the minimum filial piety, then who is willing to take refuge in him in the future, he used to be young and not better, but now he is weak, and then he is as rebellious and angry as before, it will only ruin his reputation.

Yang Yuanqing sighed and asked, "Is my father here?" ”

"He's here too, and I'm going to see him when I'm free."

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, "Your Royal Highness Princess, that Weichen will retire first!" ”

"Go ahead! I'm also a little tired and want to take a break. ”

Yang Yuanqing slowly withdrew from the hall, he followed a corridor to prepare to go up to the city platform, and then went down the city from the city platform, the light in the corridor was dim, he turned a few corners, and suddenly someone grabbed his arm from the side, in the dark, it was the face of a young man, about seven or eight years old.

Only then did Yang Yuanqing recognize that it was Yang Qi, the eldest son of Yang Zhao, the eldest son of Yang Zhao, and he laughed, "What is Your Highness looking for me?" ”

"General Yang, please come over here!"

Yang Qi took Yang Yuanqing to his room, closed the door, he knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes: "Please Uncle save me!" ”

When Yang Zhao died, he left his last words, ordering his three sons to regard Yang Yuanqing as his uncle, entrusting Yang Yuanqing, Yang Zhao's kindness, Yang Yuanqing has not forgotten, he hurriedly helped Yang Qi up, "Your Highness, don't do this!" ”

Yang Qi stood up and wept and said: "Uncle, the emperor's grandfather ordered the king of Qi to guard the capital, with the intention of supervising the country, if the king of Qi enters the East Palace, he will kill my brother, I hope that Uncle can save my brother's life in the face of his father." ”

Yang Qi can read and write at the age of two, began to read at the age of three, is very smart, and young and old, won Yang Guang's favor, and he was specially allowed to enter his own imperial study.

After Yang Zhao's death, Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, was quite disrespectful to the name of his brother's death, and repeatedly slandered him, Yang Qi hated King Qi deeply, and often collided with him, on the eve of Yang Guang's preparation to set off for inspection, Yang Huang threatened Yang Qi behind his back, if he entered the East Palace, he would kill their three brothers, causing Yang Qi's fear, and he did not dare to tell the emperor's grandfather, this time he came to Wuyuan County to see Yang Yuanqing, he immediately asked for help.

Yang Yuanqing also knew that Yang Guang protected the calf and was tolerant of Yang Jun, the last time he raised the dead, in the end, it was not done, and Yang Guang did not pursue it, but the matter of the dead man still had a little impact, so that Yang Guang had a trace of doubt, after Yang Zhao's death, he did not immediately canonize Yang Jun as the prince, but asked him to learn etiquette, this study is more than a year, in fact, he is observing Yang Jun, or Yang Guang has been vacillating between the prince or the emperor's eldest grandson.

What's more important is that after Yang Guang got his youngest son Yang Gao last year, the heart of the prince is not so urgent, this is human nature, Yang Jian has too many bad deeds, Yang Guang naturally wants to give his young son a chance, so whether it is the emperor's grandson or the emperor's youngest son, it is possible, it turns out that Yang Yong has at least a fifty percent chance, but after one more emperor's young son, Yang Yong only has a thirty percent chance.

"Your Royal Highness, don't worry too much, if the Holy One wants to make him the heir, he would have made him the crown prince a long time ago, and it will not be delayed until now, the reason why he let him guard Luoyang is nothing more than that the Holy One has no children available, if His Royal Highness is ten years older, then it should be His Royal Highness who stays in Luoyang, not him, no matter how arrogant he is in Luoyang, the key is whether the Holy One is loose, in fact, His Royal Highness has an advantage, as long as His Royal Highness performs more beside the emperor's grandfather and grandmother, and does his filial piety, His Highness's chances are greater than him, His Royal Highness must not be impatient, there is the emperor's young son, His chances are slim. ”

Yang Qi is extremely smart, the reason why he is afraid is that he is in the game, and Yang Yuanqing, an outsider, wakes up a little, Yang Qi immediately realized, he gave a deep salute, "Thank you Uncle for your comfort, I understand what to do." ”

Yang Yuanqing pressed his slightly immature shoulders, stared into his eyes and said slowly: "Although the imperial grandfather himself is so luxurious, he likes others to be thrifty, as long as he is clean and self-disciplined, more filial piety, concerned about current affairs, and more to his grandfather about his own views on the political situation, he will like it more and more, as long as it is possible, I will try my best to help, at least with me, the three brothers also have a way out, so as not to be killed by the King of Qi." ”

Yang Qi nodded, "Uncle's words, I take it to heart." ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled, turned around and left, Yang Qi listened to his footsteps and walked away, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. He is fortunate to have this uncle!
