Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "After you went to the court this morning, the father and daughter made a special trip to thank you for your rescue. Yang Qi suddenly realized, Yang Qi smiled: "The effort of the hand, the matter, then there is nothing to thank!" ”

Mrs. Yang glanced at her sister-in-law appreciatively and said to Yang Gui: "That child named Xiaohui is gentle and beautiful, and my mother likes it very much!" Yang Gui, Yang Qi was stunned, Yang Qi asked jokingly: "Sister-in-law, you don't want to find me a niece and daughter-in-law, do you?" Yang Gui was taken aback. Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "That's what my mother meant." Yang Qi looked at Yang Gui with a smile and said, "Nephew, sister-in-law is here to congratulate you!" Yang Gui hurriedly said: "Mother, my son is still young...... Mrs. Yang said angrily: "What is still young!" Your dad already married your mother when you were so old! You just need to tell your mother, do you like this child or not? Yang Gui looked at a loss.

Mrs. Yang smiled: "Looking at you like this, I must like it." Yang Gui's cheeks were red and he couldn't speak. Yang Qi looked at his nephew with an interesting expression.

Mrs. Yang smiled: "Since you like it, my mother knows what to do." ”

Yang Gui couldn't help but ask, "Mother, you, are you going to do this?" Mrs. Yang said: "My mother will send someone to propose marriage, and wait for this time next year to let you get married." Yang Guitong's cheeks were red, and he looked a little overwhelmed. Mrs. Yang smiled: "If you feel that you can't wait, during the Spring Festival this year, my mother will let you get married!" Yang Gui was shocked and hurriedly said: "This, this can't work!" The country has just been opened, and there are still many things to do, and I am afraid that this year will be very busy! Mrs. Yang sighed and said, "Mother knows that you are very busy!" Okay, there's nothing to do here, mother, go and get ready! The two of them bowed to Mrs. Yang and went down.

Yang Peng returned to the harem, looked around, only to see pavilions and pavilions row upon row, lakes and mountains contrasting with each other, a palace is of course splendid, but it also completely encompasses the natural beauty, although it is not yet called a fairyland, but it is almost there. Yang Peng couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and secretly worried: 'After living here for a long time, will I really become an emperor?' Then he laughed self-deprecatingly: "If a palace can shake my will, it means that I am not qualified to change the world at all." If you are worried, it is better to go with the flow! At this point, the worry in his heart disappeared, and he raised his feet and walked towards the back.

As I was walking, I heard melodious music in the distance, and I couldn't help but stop and look up. It was discovered that the sound of music came from a courtyard by the lake, which was the courtyard where Zhao Jinxi lived.

Yang Peng changed direction and walked over there. Walking into an archway, I saw that in the embroidery tower behind the pond, many dancing girls were dancing with Zhao Jinxi, and Zhao Jinxi was dancing and teaching, obviously training them. Yang Peng couldn't help but smile.

A maid walked towards the embroidery building with tea, and when she saw Yang Peng, she was startled, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty!" Yang Peng waved his hand and motioned for her to silence. Seeing that she was holding tea in her hand, she took it and walked towards the embroidery building. The maid did not dare to leave without permission, and hurriedly followed.

The two walked into the hall of the embroidery building one after the other. At this time, the musicians in the embroidery building were playing intently, and Zhao Jinxi and the dancers were also distracted, and they didn't notice the people who came in.

Yang Peng stood in the hall and watched, only to see the brilliance, the dancing posture is graceful, a hall of warblers and swallows, can be described as purple and red, like a gentle township in the world, like a red mansion ecstasy cave. Chen Xiao couldn't help but secretly exclaim: Where did you find so many beauties who are good at dancing?

Under the guidance of Zhao Jinxi, the dancing girls danced, and their movements were uniform, sometimes like a hundred flowers blooming, sometimes like a flock of geese flying, which was really beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Jinxi stopped dancing, turned to the dancing girls and said, "Very good!" Being able to dance such a complex dance so neatly in just two days was much better than I expected! All the dancing girls laughed, and one of the particularly enchanting dancing girls raised their voices: "That's all my sister's good teaching!" A dancing girl next to her who was not inferior in appearance and figure teased her: "You are shooting my sister's ass!" The dancing girl who spoke before said confidently: "I'm just going to slap the sycophants, can't I?" The dancing girl said: "How is the senior sister's sycophant?" That's a buttocks! All the dancing girls laughed together, and their words were unscrupulous. Just then, a man's laughter suddenly came.

The dancing girls were amazed, and following the prestige, they saw a man in civilian clothes standing at the door of the embroidery building, holding tea in his hand.

The very charming dancing girl who spoke just now stepped forward, glanced at Yang Peng, and asked with a straight face, "Who are you?" Then he frowned, "You're a man, how can you come here!" Be careful of being discovered, drag it down and castrate! The dancers laughed. They all regarded Yang Peng as a servant who sneaked into the harem.

Yang Peng saw that she didn't recognize herself, and felt very funny.

At this time, Zhao Jinxi hurriedly came up, and Ying Ying bowed: "The concubine greets Your Majesty!" Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! The dancing girls were stunned for a moment, then showed a look of horror, and hurriedly knelt down: "Slave maid to see Your Majesty!" Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! "The dancing girl who said that she was going to drag Yang Peng down and castrated was very frightened in her heart, and secretly complained to herself: 'The man who can enter the harem is naturally only the emperor, I didn't expect it, it's so stupid!' In fact, she can't be completely blamed for this incident, first of all, various folk legends make Yang Peng's image in the folk like Zhong Kui's thunder god, not at all like the young and heroic young man in front of him, everyone subconsciously thought that Yan Wang Chen Xiao was at least a middle-aged man in his forties before they saw Yang Peng, and they didn't expect him to be such a young man in front of him; Secondly, Yang Peng was dressed in civilian clothes, standing with the maid, and holding tea in his hand, which made it difficult for people to associate him with the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. So the dancing girl was a servant who snuck in, and his words were unscrupulous.

Yang Peng smiled: "Don't be polite, get up." The people thanked and stood up.

Yang Peng glanced at the dancing girl in front of him who said that he was going to castrate himself, and said with a smile: "I'm here to see my wife, no one should drag me down to castrate!" ”

The dancing girl was so frightened that she knelt down in a hurry, kowtowed, and said, "The slave is talking nonsense, and I ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins!" Yang Peng saw her kneeling on the ground, with her buttocks cocked high, very tempting, so he quickly looked away and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid!" I don't mean to blame you! Get up! Wu Ji answered, stood up, bowed her head and stood respectfully, although Yang Peng said that she would not blame her, but her heart was still trembling.

Yang Peng saw a layer of fine sweat overflowing on Zhao Jinxi's forehead, so he immediately put down the tea, took the towel from the maid next to him, and gently wiped off the fine sweat on Zhao Jinxi's forehead. The dancing girls secretly saw it, and they couldn't help but be envious in their hearts, and at the same time felt that they were following Zhao Jinxi, they really didn't follow the wrong person, and the emperor obviously loved her very much.

Yang Peng put down the towel, held Zhao Jinxi's slender hand, and asked softly, "Are you tired?" ”

Zhao Jinxi smiled and shook his head, "I'm not tired." It's just dancing, but it's just fun! ”

Yang Peng smiled slightly. At this time, all the dancing girls, musicians and maids all left the embroidery building under the greeting of Li's mother, and those dancing girls turned back step by step, looking reluctant to give up.

Yang Peng and Zhao Jinxi came upstairs and sat in front of the window of the moon cave. Outside the window, you can see the endless blue waters of the lake and the beautiful winter scene. Yang Peng asked, "Are you still used to living these days?" Zhao Jinxi smiled and said: "This is the palace, if you are not used to it, wouldn't it be too blessed?" Yang Peng smiled, turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, and muttered, "If all this doesn't exist one day, will you be disappointed?" ”

Zhao Jinxi leaned into Yang Peng's arms, exhaled like an orchid on his chest, and said softly: "As long as you are accompanied by your eldest brother, even if there is only one thatched hut, it is a paradise on earth!" ”

Yang Peng was greatly moved, lowered his head, and stabilized the warm red lips of Nalanxiang. Zhao Jinxi couldn't help but be emotional, the sky and thunder stirred the earth, and it was out of control. ……

Yang Peng lay on the bed and hugged Zhao Jinxi's delicate body. Zhao Jinxi's skin all over his body seemed to be coated with a layer of rouge, and there was a layer of fine sweat, crystal clear, and jade-light; There is infinite charm in her beautiful eyes, and her red lips are half-open and half-closed, panting incessantly.

Yang Peng asked, "Those dancing girls, are they newly found by you?" ”

Zhao Jinxi nodded and said: "The concubine has no ability, and she only has this singing and dancing skills, so she can't help Your Majesty like Han Bing and the others, so she has to choreograph some songs and dances to relieve Your Majesty's worries and boredom when needed." ”

Yang Peng smiled slightly, bowed his head and said, "Don't call me Your Majesty, just like in the past, call me husband." ”

Zhao Jinxi smiled charmingly, and said angrily: "Husband...... Jun ......" shouted, and there was another storm. Zhao Jinxi's soul flew out of the sky, and he only felt that this was the bliss of the world! ……

Yang Peng sat in the imperial study, several members of the cabinet served on the side, and Han Derang, the envoy of the Liao State, bowed and said: "The envoy of the Great Liao State, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" On behalf of the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty the Emperor, this envoy would like to pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Yang Peng smiled and said, "You also say hello to them on my behalf!" Han Derang said: "On behalf of our Empress Dowager and His Majesty the Emperor, thank you to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Yang Peng asked, "Why are you here?" Huang Qiaoyun sneered and asked, "Do you want to play some tricks again?" ”

Han Derang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my country has offended your country and Your Majesty before, and I ask Your Majesty for your understanding." In fact, our country has never wanted to be an enemy of your country, and hopes to become a brotherly state with your country and reconcile forever! However, there are always some people who don't want to see such a situation and sow discord, which is why the incident that was not good for both of us happened before! Our Empress Dowager and His Majesty the Emperor have realized this and decided not to listen to any rumors from now on and insist on making good friends with the Ming Alliance! Please be magnanimous and don't care about the past! Such a truce and alliance between the two countries is not only a blessing for the royal families of the two countries, but also a blessing for the people of the two countries! ”

Zhang Xiang sneered: "It seems to be good for us!" Prime Minister, although you are the one who invited you, your ability to speak skillfully is really breathtaking! ”

Han Derang said: "Both countries are the most powerful countries in the world, and it is difficult for our country to defeat the Ming Dynasty, but it is also very difficult for the Ming Dynasty to defeat our Daliao!" If the two countries compete, it will not be beneficial for either country, but if you and China can form an alliance, then both of us will benefit! ”

Han Bing said lightly: "Since your country started a war with my Ming Dynasty, have you ever taken advantage of it?" Your country originally occupied the entire Central Plains, but now how can you shrink into the bitter cold land of Mobei? Your country lost many victories in the war with our country, and not only was our army recover the entire Central Plains, but even the entire Xijing Road was lost! And now, my Ming Dynasty officially founded the country, located in the Central Plains, the power is not the same as the beginning, the Liao State was like the sky, and it was not my opponent in the rise of Yanyun, and now he is long, how can your country compete with my Yanyun! "Han Bing gave birth a month ago, gave birth to a boy, named Yang Tianya, she began to return to work a few days ago, but Yang Peng was worried about her body, only let her participate in some daily meetings, and did not let her do hard work.

Han Derang said: "Niangniang's words are wrong! Although your country is located in the Central Plains and is far more powerful than to the west, my Great Liao Kingdom, Beiping Mongolia, and South Goryeo are also several times stronger than before! If I mobilize the people of the whole country, I am afraid that if the Ming Dynasty wants to win, it will only be five or five! Han Bing snorted coldly, his face full of disapproval.

Yelu Hanyu sneered: "Don't make a mistake! Do you want to stop our army because you are not ashamed of your words? "After Yelu Hanyu came to participate in the founding ceremony, he no longer returned to the south, the affairs of the south have been on the right track, and there is no need for her, the general manager of Pingnan, to sit in the south. Now the entire Jiangnan region is divided into Jiangnan East Province and Jiangnan West Province, and the governor of Jiangnan East Province is Liu Ziyu, who was a comrade-in-arms who guarded Shaanxi against the Liao army with Cao Yong, and he joined Yan Yun's camp as early as when Yan Yun annexed Hanzhong. The governor of Jiangnan West Province was sent to Minzhong to organize Mingjiao activities in Jiangnan for a long time. The military governor of the entire Jiangnan is Shi Liancheng.

Han Derang listened to Yelu Hanyu's words, his face changed, and he asked: "What does Niangniang mean by this, is it impossible for your two countries to be peaceful, only for you to live and die?" Yelu Hanyu sneered and said nothing, which meant nothing to be seen. Han Derang was secretly worried in his heart. Don't look at what he said beautifully, in fact, he and the Liao State behind him are very afraid of confronting Yan Yun, just like Han Bing said, Yan Yun was only in the process of rising before, and Liao was in full swing, but the war between the two sides was that Liao lost more and won less, and now Yan Yun has dominated the Central Plains, and the strength of the power makes people feel suffocated, in this case, if a full-scale war breaks out between the two sides, Liao may have a hard chance of winning, even if the army can resist the attack of Yan Yun's army, However, the logistical reserves simply could not support the consumption of the entire war.

Yang Peng said: "Although Liao's approach is very angry, I am willing to give Liaoguo a chance." When Han Derang heard this, he only felt as if he had seen a ray of light in the dark night, and his eyes couldn't help but show hope.

Yang Peng said: "We have signed a peace treaty before, and now I don't want to break this treaty. And I can also expand the border trade between the two sides. ”

Han Derang clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Your Majesty has made an incomparably wise decision!" Both of you and our people will benefit from this! ”

Yang Peng waved his hand and said, "This is an opportunity I give you." If you still don't believe what you said before, then you won't have another chance! Han De's heart sank.

Yang Peng smiled slightly and said, "Okay, so be it." If you have to talk to the Cabinet about the specific matters related to trade, please go and talk to the Cabinet. It's rare for you to come here, and now it's almost the Spring Festival of our Han nationality, so let's have a good time in Bianliang. ”

Han Derang bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Then he raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I have here. The Queen Mother of our country, I hope to meet with King Yan! ”

Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of that charming and seductive woman, when the spring breeze was once, I still feel ecstatic when I think about it! came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I didn't expect your Queen Mother to make such a request." Han Derang said: "The Queen Mother of our country especially wants the envoy to bring a message to Your Majesty, saying that there is a very important matter related to Your Majesty to talk to Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "This is very surprising to me." It's not impossible to meet, it's just how to do it. Can't I go to Liao, or your queen mother to Bianliang, right? Everyone laughed, feeling that Liao's request was a bit whimsical.

Han Derang said: "What our Empress Dowager means is that she and Her Majesty met on the border of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. ”

Yang Peng nodded, looked up at Han Derang, and said with a smile: "Generally speaking, this arrangement is okay, but me and your queen mother, aren't you worried that I will suddenly kidnap her when the time comes?" ”

Han Derang said: "The Empress Dowager of our country firmly believes that Your Majesty is a hero of the world and will never do such despicable and shameless things!" ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "From ancient times to the present, the word hero should not belong to kings. For the sake of the national interest, you might as well do despicable and shameless things! If you are not despicable and shameless enough, you are not qualified to be an emperor! Emperors were never saints! Han Derang was stunned on the spot, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the other party's words were very correct. For example, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who became a model of Ming Jun in later generations, did not do a good job of slaughtering his brothers and forcing his father to abdicate!

Yang Peng said: "Although I will do despicable and shameless things, I will not do things that bully women!" Since your Queen Mother wants to meet with me, I have no reason to object. When do you want to meet me? Han Derang said: "The Queen Mother said that if Her Majesty agrees to meet, the time will be set on March 1 of the following year." Yang Peng smiled: "Is it March?" Okay, I'll be there then. Then he asked, "Is there anything else you want?" Han De said: "The envoy has nothing to do." Yang Peng said: "Then you can go down." Han Derang bowed to Yang Peng and left.

After Han Derang left, Yang Peng glanced at everyone in the cabinet and asked, "Do you have anything else?" Yelu Hanyu clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, there are still many things to ask Your Majesty for!" Yang Peng hurriedly waved his hand and said angrily: "Your cabinet decides for yourself, don't come to me for everything." Unless it's a major military event with great impact, don't bother me. Even if it is a major military matter, you must first discuss a sub-ugly and a plan to deal with it. Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't help but worry that Your Majesty would be such a hands-off shopkeeper? In fact, Yang Peng deliberately did this, he hoped that the bureaucracy would gradually make the whole society accustomed to the emperor's indifference. Of course, he is still a little selfish in doing this, he really wants to have more time to have fun, and he doesn't want to waste all his time doing things. Life is too short, and if you don't have fun in time, it's a big loss!

Yang Peng stood up, "If it's nothing serious, you all step down." Tang Shidian came out, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, you are the lord of a country, if this is the case, it seems inappropriate to throw everything to the cabinet like this!" ”

Yang Peng shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, one person counts short, and everyone counts long." The emperor is not a god, just a person, and the emperor has to decide everything, don't you think it's easy to be biased? After deliberation by the cabinet, and finally the principle of the minority obeying the majority, the resolution will definitely be much better than my dictatorship! Besides, the country is a country of the people of the world, and it is not a country of my own, so why do I have to work alone? ”

After listening to Yang Peng's words, everyone couldn't help but feel that they couldn't cry or laugh, but after thinking about it, they also felt that His Majesty's words seemed to be reasonable. However, although it feels reasonable, after all, there has never been such a thing before, the emperor used to be the shopkeeper, and the ministers were in charge, and everyone was really worried that His Majesty would delegate power to the cabinet, and whether such a problem would also occur.

Yang Peng saw everyone's worries and said with a smile: "Are you worried that I don't care about anything, there will be a minister?" ”

Zuo Mou said: "This is really worrying. The others nodded in agreement.

Yang Peng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this. In the past, the ministers were in charge, and the emperor didn't care about things was actually not the main reason, the main reason was that the emperor favored a minister or eunuch and threw all the major national affairs to them, which led to the problem of the ministers in power! If it is an efficient cabinet that shares the responsibility of the country, will this question still arise? Everyone looked at each other and felt that if it was an efficient cabinet, it did not seem that there would be a situation in which the ministers were in charge.

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