Yang Peng was absentmindedly handling official business, and Yang Erya, dressed in civilian clothes, walked in. Yang Peng looked at Yang Erya and asked with a smile, "Sister Erya, are you here?" Yang Erya nodded and hummed, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.

Yang Peng had no intention of doing business, so he simply threw away the matter at hand. stood up, walked up to Yang Erya, took Yang Erya's hands, and asked with a smile, "Is there something wrong?" Yang Erya looked up at Yang Peng, her delicate face was slightly red, and she lowered her head. Yang Peng felt interesting, and at the same time felt infinite pity, although this wife has been married to him for more than two years and is over twenty years old, but she still retains the innocent temperament at the beginning, which is particularly likable.

Yang Peng couldn't help but hug Yang Erya and kissed her red lips. Yang Erya was originally going to speak, but when she was kissed by her eldest brother, her head was confused, and she couldn't remember what she wanted to say. It wasn't until the eldest brother asked again that he suddenly woke up, glanced at the eldest brother embarrassedly with a red face, and begged: "Big brother, can you accompany me to go shopping?" Yang Peng smiled, pinched Yang Erya's nose lovingly, and said, "My second sister is going shopping, so what's the problem!" Don't say it's okay now, even if there is a big thing, then you have to put it down! Yang Erya laughed happily. Yang Peng shouted: "Someone! Jiang Li, who was guarding the door, immediately came in, clenched her fists and asked, "What does the master command?" Yang Peng smiled: "Get ready, let's go shopping on the street." Jiang Li couldn't help but glance at Yang Erya, smiled and hugged her fists and responded, "Yes." Then he remembered something and reported: "Master, early this morning, news came from the cabinet, saying that the envoy of Dali and the envoy of Xiliao arrived at the same time!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, "This is a coincidence!" ”

Jiang Li said: "The cabinet said that the envoys of the two countries have been arranged into two separate state guesthouses; The envoys of both countries submitted their requests for an audience, and the cabinet asked when the host could receive them, so that they could make arrangements. ”

Yang Peng said: "Let them rest for two days first." Jiang Li responded: "Yes." Yang Peng frowned and muttered, "The envoys of Western Liao, I don't know what their intentions are?" If I Yanyun wants to expand my power to Central Asia, West Asia and even beyond, I must first defeat this Western Liao! After thinking for a while, he said to Jiang Li: "The envoy of Dali has arranged to meet him in two days. As for the envoy of Xiliao, send someone to inform Mei'er and let her deal with it! "Yang Peng thinks that Western Liao was established by Yelu Longqing, Yelu Longqing was originally the minister of Da Liao, and Mei'er Yelu Hanyu is the eldest princess of Qianliao, so she can express enough goodwill to meet Yelu Longqing, and at the same time, she can talk more deeply about some issues. Jiang Li responded.

At this time, Duan Zhichun, the envoy of Dali, and Princess Qionghua, who had been sent to Tianjing New City as a gift, sat in the back hall of the princess's mansion and spoke. "Uncle Huang, I'm so glad to see you again?" Princess Qionghua was very happy. Duan Zhichun smiled, and then couldn't help asking, "Isn't the princess happy here?" ”

Princess Qionghua sighed and couldn't help muttering: "I'm just a gift from my father to King Yan, what's so happy about a gift!" Duan Zhichun didn't know what to say for a while, feeling a little guilty in his heart, but also a little helpless. Princess Qionghua smiled: "Don't be surprised by the imperial uncle, my niece is just a little homesick after being away from home for a long time!" Actually, my niece is doing well here! The princesses have been very good to me, and I have become very good friends with them! I don't feel lonely! ”

Duan Zhichun sighed and said, "It's really hard for you!" But there's no way around it! Born in the royal family, although he has the glory and wealth that a folk woman dreams of, and infinite honor, he must bear the burden of the country, which is the misfortune of being born in the royal family! Princess Qionghua nodded, "I understand." He glanced at Duan Zhichun and asked, "Uncle Huang came to Tianjing New City again after less than half a year, there must be something big, right?" ”

Duan Zhichun nodded, frowned, and told Princess Qionghua and Pan about the previous proposal of Tubo. Princess Qionghua was taken aback and asked, "Father agreed?" Duan Zhichun shook his head and said, "It's not decided yet." Hey, we don't know what to do! What the Tibetan envoy said is certainly reasonable, but this practice is tantamount to taking chestnuts from the fire, and if you don't get it right, you will be burned by fire, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Princess Qionghua frowned and shook her head: "I don't agree!" This is absolutely not a no-go! Duan Zhichun showed surprise and said, "Why do you say this? Isn't what the Tibetan envoy said wrong? ”

Princess Qionghua raised her eyebrows and said urgently: "You don't have much contact with Yan Yun, so you don't know much about Yan Yun's true power!" I'm different, I've been here for a while, and I know a lot about all aspects of Yanyun society! Glancing at Duan Zhichun, he said solemnly: "Yan Yun's power is definitely not what you see on the surface!" In fact, under the leadership of King Yan, the entire Yanyun, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and hundreds of millions of trillion Li people have all been integrated! Most of their wealth and various resources can be converted to military purposes in a very short period of time, and most of the common people are willing to serve the will of King Yan on the battlefield, even at the cost of dying! Yan Yun's military power on the surface alone is already very formidable and difficult to defeat! If Yan Yun is fully mobilized, it is not for me to lose my prestige, and Yan Yun will have an endless stream of armies at that time, even if the coalition army can win in the early stage, but in the end it can only end in a fiasco! ”

Duan Zhichun frowned, shocked, but at the same time he felt a little incredulous, he really couldn't imagine that a country could invest all its resources in military power.

Princess Qionghua saw Duan Zhichun's thoughts, frowned and asked, "Uncle Huang doesn't believe my words?" Duan Zhichun said: "It's not that I don't believe it, but I can't believe it!" This kind of thing is simply unimaginable! Even if it is as powerful as the strong Han and Tang Dynasty back then, it is impossible to use most of the wealth of the society for the military, that is, it is unimaginable to be able to use one-tenth of the strength for the military! ”

Princess Qionghua shook her head and said, "No, no, no! The reason why these dynasties couldn't do it was because they all ruled the country with Confucianism, and it was difficult for social wealth to be transferred to the state for military purposes! But now Yan Yun has deposed Confucianism and used Legalism and Bingjia, and the entire social structure is centered on these two points to serve these two points at the same time, and the state also controls huge industries and wealth with the state sector! Therefore, they can use most of the support for military purposes, and all aspects of society advocate martial arts, and knighthoods can only be obtained by relying on military merits, so the people are willing to join the army, and even desire war. Today's Yanyun is just like the Great Qin Empire back then! ”

Duan Zhichun lowered his head and pondered, then raised his head and said with a smile: "If King Yan follows Qin Shi Huang's example, then there is nothing to worry about!" ”

Princess Qionghua shook her head and said, "Uncle Huang, you are wrong! Qin Shi Huang didn't care about the lives of the people, and overused the people's power, and the two biggest things were nothing more than conquest and the construction of luxurious palaces and mausoleums. Duan Zhichun was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought: "If this is the case, it seems that it will be a different result!" ”

Princess Qionghua said categorically: "The result will definitely be completely different!" The Great Qin Empire will never fall apart after only two generations! Now Yan Yun's behavior is similar to that of the Great Qin Empire, but the difference is that King Yan is very frugal, and he is not interested in those extravagant pleasures at all, and he also does not care about the afterlife. Duan Zhichun couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, as far as he knew, let alone the emperors of the past and present, even the people of ordinary people, I'm afraid no one would have such a free and easy attitude towards life and death as King Yan.

Princess Qionghua continued: "Because of this, King Yan has long vetoed the proposal of his subordinates to build a mausoleum! Turning his head to look at Duan Zhichun, "Uncle Huang, the defeat of Qin Shi Huang is not done by the Legalists and Soldiers, but by Qin Shi Huang himself!" But the Sui Dynasty used Confucianism, and it was not only passed down for two generations? Now that the Yan King is domineering, but there is no problem like Qin Shi Huang, back then, the Qin State could use the strength of one country to confront the six eastern countries and finally destroy them, and now that Yan Yun's power is stronger, can several alliances be their opponents? ”

Duan Zhichun couldn't help but nod and muttered, "How is this good?" Can we only hope that Yan Yun will not have the intention of annexing us? Princess Qionghua shook her head and said, "That's impossible! The soldiers are domineering, those who follow will live, and those who go against will die, and no one will be an exception! Sooner or later, Yan Yun will attack us Dali! ”

Duan Zhichun frowned, glanced at his niece, and said, "According to your words, wouldn't we just have to sit and wait for death?" Suddenly, his heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "If your niece can become the princess of King Yan, the situation may be different!" ”

Princess Qionghua's face turned red, shook her head, and said faintly: "Then King Yan has no interest in me at all!" ......" Duan Zhichun looked incredulous, "how is this possible?" That King Yan is very lustful, how can he be unmoved by such a big beauty? Then his heart moved, and he frowned and asked, "Has he never touched you?" Princess Qionghua said embarrassedly: "He said that he recognized me as his sister, how could he do that kind of thing to his sister!" After a pause, "Besides, in fact, King Yan is not a womanizer!" ”

Duan Zhichun was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but feel that his niece's words made sense. Although the world legend says that King Yan is very lustful, he is a demon in the sex, but if you think about it carefully, there are only a dozen concubines around him. In fact, not to mention compared with the royal families of other countries, even compared with the rich families, it also seems a little shabby, you must know that the ordinary small scholars and local squires who do not enter the stream, who do not have one or twenty or even more wives and concubines! And these people are more or less robbing people's daughters or coercing and seducing, and although Yang Peng is the king of Yan, he has never heard of anything like this. Thinking about it seriously, it seems that Yang Peng is not lustful at all, and he is very restrained!

Shaking his head, he put these messy thoughts aside, thinking that King Yan was not interested in his niece, he couldn't help but be worried. Princess Qionghua naturally saw the thoughts of this imperial uncle, her delicate face turned red, and then she frowned and said: "Imperial uncle, my niece thinks that if you want Dali to avoid war, there is only one way!" Duan Zhichun hurriedly looked at his niece and said urgently: "Niece Xian has a clever plan, come quickly!" Princess Qionghua told her plan. Duan Zhichun exclaimed, "How can this work?!" ”

Yang Peng, who was accompanying Yang Erya shopping on the street, suddenly cut and rubbed his nose. Yang Erya hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, big brother?" ”

Yang Peng shook his head and muttered, "Eighty percent of people are scolding me behind my back!" Yang Erya grinned and said, "That's no longer normal!" Yang Peng smiled, looked up and saw the palace, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect to come here unconsciously!" Then he said to Yang Erya: "Little sister, you haven't seen it in the palace yet, have you?" Yang Erya nodded. Yang Peng said: "Why don't we go in and have a look?" Yang Erya shook her head and said; Don't do it, there's nothing to see! Besides, there are those concubines, princesses, and palace maids from the previous dynasty, and I feel uncomfortable when I see them! ”

Yang Peng smiled, looked around, and muttered, "Where can I go to play?" Yang Erya said: "It's better to go to the Shenxiao Wanshou Palace outside the city, or take the opportunity to ride a horse!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "You can do whatever you say, anyway, the eldest brother is yours today!" Yang Erya said happily: "Thank you, big brother!" Yang Peng saw that Yang Erya's face was like a spring flower, rippling pink, very charming and cute, and his heart couldn't help but wave, and the palm holding her slender hand couldn't help but tighten, and called softly: "Little sister, ......" Yang Erya was stunned for a moment, and then hung her head shyly, and whispered: "This is on the street!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, pulled Yang Erya, and said, "Let's go." The group went to the official post at the gate of the city and asked for a dozen horses, and a dozen people rode on horses and rode out of the city. Yang Erya galloped at full speed, giggling, her hair flying behind her, she was like a pony who finally came out to have fun, and she got carried away. Yang Peng led everyone to ride their horses and followed, seeing her so cheerful, Yang Peng couldn't help but feel happy for her, and shouted: "Be careful, don't fall down!" ”

Yang Erya restrained the horse and crossed the horse, Yang Peng and others saw this, and hurriedly restrained the horse. Yang Erya looked at Chen Xiao coquettishly and said, "Big brother, let's try horse racing, right?" Yang Peng smiled, rode up to Yang Erya, and said with a smile: "Okay, how can you compare?" ”

Yang Erya pointed to the brilliant Shenxiao Wanshou Palace hidden in the mountains and rivers in the distance, and said: "Let's end at the gate of Shenxiao Wanshou Palace, whoever arrives first will win!" ”

Yang Peng glanced at the Shenxiao Wanshou Palace in the distance, nodded and said, "Okay." But it's really not interesting to bet like this, you have to set a lottery head! Yang Erya nodded excitedly and said, "If I win, big brother, you owe me a request!" Yang Peng smiled: "No problem! If the eldest brother loses, the eldest brother owes you three requirements! Yang Erya was very happy, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, this is what you said, don't regret it!" ”

Yang Peng nodded with a smile and said, "Absolutely no regrets!" Narrowing his eyes slightly, "What if the eldest brother wins?" Yang Erya's eyes rolled, and she didn't know what she thought, her cheeks turned crimson, she lowered her head, and said sheepishly: "Yes, just big brother!" Yang Erya was stunned, he didn't think of any bad ideas, but when he saw Yang Erya like this, he thought of bad things, and said with a smile: "Then if the little sister loses, she will also agree to the eldest brother's three requests, how about it?" ”

Yang Erya was a little worried, "Three? Can there be just one? "That's not good, three requests for three for three, it's fair!" Yang Erya blushed and hesitated for a while, and said, "Okay, so be it!" ”

Yang Peng said loudly: "Start now!" So saying, he rushed out with a wave of his horsewhip. Yang Erya was shocked, and hurriedly rode his horse to chase after him, shouting angrily as he ran: "Big brother, you are too treacherous!" Yang Peng smiled and said, "Little sister, I see that you have lost this time, remember three requirements!" Then he waved his whip again and again, and although the horse was only an ordinary fast horse at the inn, it also ran very fast under the pain, and the trees and scenery on both sides swept back quickly. Yang Erya was angry and anxious, and whipped hard, the horse she sat on was just an ordinary fast horse at the post station, although she had already used all her strength, but she always maintained a distance between the two horses and Chen Xiao's mount! The guards rode their horses and followed.

At this time, there were many pedestrians on the official road leading to the Shenxiao Wanshou Palace, and people saw some people riding horses and running to dodge, and some people shouted and cursed angrily. About a quarter of an hour later, Yang Peng and Yang Erya rushed to the gate of the Shenxiao Wanshou Palace one after the other, and then the guards also arrived. Yang Peng looked at Yang Erya with a smile, looking ill-willed. Yang Erya didn't know if it was because she was embarrassed or because she was running for a while, her delicate face was flushed, and she was as glamorous as a peach and plum, which was extremely attractive.

Yang Peng smiled: "Little sister, you lost!" Yang Erya puffed out her cheeks and said unconvinced: "Big brother, you are cheating!" ”

Yang Peng blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "This is called a soldier who is not tired of deceit!" Yang Erya glared at Yang Peng angrily, but then he was deflated, and said angrily: "I lost, I will never admit it!" Say, how do you want to toss me? Yang Erya was so angry that she didn't care about the guards next to her, and said what she could only say in the couple's room. All the guards snickered, but fortunately, they were all Feifeng female guards, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. Yang Erya realized that she had lost her words, and she was ashamed of herself, so she yelled at Yang Peng: "It's all your fault!" Yang Peng smiled and said: "Yes, yes, blame me, blame me!" Big brother compensates you for three requirements, okay? ”

Yang Erya was overjoyed and said, "You mean it really, you're not teasing me, are you?" Yang Peng smiled and said, "Of course it's true! If you tease, how can you be here, you have to be in the room! ”

The female guards couldn't help laughing again, and Yang Erya glared at Yang Peng with infinite shame. Yang Peng said with a smile: "Big brother compensates you for three requirements, that's nothing, but you also owe three requirements to big brother!" Yang Erya snorted with a red face, and said angrily: "You always tease me, I ignore you!" As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and ran towards the gate of the Shenxiao Longevity Palace. The official staff who were in charge of selling tickets at the gate and the people who were buying tickets and preparing to enter the palace suddenly saw a beautiful young woman riding a horse, and they were all startled.

The staff shouted one after another, and the people shouted and cursed. Yang Peng and others came up, and Yang Peng smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my wife is in a hurry to go in and visit." I'll buy a ticket. ”

Seeing Yang Peng's apology, everyone couldn't help but lose their anger. A middle-aged man said angrily: "I said that you, a young man, also take care of your own wife!" She galloped like this, what if she hit someone and hurt someone? Yang Peng smiled: "Yes, yes, what the uncle said is." A middle-aged woman couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This son's character is really nothing to say, but I don't know why he married such a lady!" Yang Peng smiled: "Actually, my lady is a very kind girl, and I blame me for making her angry just now, so she lost her temper!" ”

The old man who was about to enter the gate in front suddenly turned around, glared at Yang Peng, and said angrily: "Eighty percent of the young people are messing with flowers and grass outside!" Hmph, you young people always see different ideas, see one and love the other, this is not good! I look at that girl fairy-like character, you can marry her It is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes in your previous life, you can't help but cherish it! Several other uncles and aunts also preached to Yang Peng, but Yang Peng was depressed, but he had to make promises.

Immediately, Yang Peng bought tickets at the ticket office, and then more than a dozen people walked in. Looking up, he glanced up, and the Shenxiao Wanshou Palace, which was originally destroyed by the war, had been restored as before. However, today's Shenxiao Wanshou Palace is no longer a residence, but has become a park. Oh, this is also the creation of Yang Peng's genius based on his own experience, he will include Shenxiao Wanshou Palace, including many of the original royal palace gardens are open to the outside world as parks, managed by the Ministry of State-owned Operations, all the people only need to pay tickets to visit, all the parks, but also many of the original royal residence palace courtyards taken out as inns, tourists into the park, can also pay in these places to stay for one night or two nights, and enjoy the royal banquet. The people, especially those who have a little money, are eager to do this, and those with rich families rent rooms in the park for a long time, or even the entire courtyard, at a high price. The state-run sector alone operates these palaces and gardens, and can pay a huge amount of money every year.

The group entered, deposited their mounts in the special stables at the entrance, received the number plates, and walked towards the palace. Seeing Yang Erya not far away, she was pretty and hurriedly stepped forward.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
