Chapter 48: The Emperor's Test
The gate of Luoyang City finally opened slowly, and under the city gate, Yuan Xiaoli personally went out to greet him, and Yang Yong naturally hid.
"Yuan Xiao is far away from welcoming His Royal Highness King Jin to Luoyang, and he has never been far away, so it is no wonder."
"Yuan Tsukazai, your Luoyang City is such a high city wall, this king has to kill a person to sacrifice the flag if he wants to come in, which really surprises this king."
In the face of Yang Guang's yin and yang weirdness, Yuan Xiaoxiao still maintained his smile, and said with a kind face: "The subordinates are ignorant, they have offended His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and I also ask His Royal Highness the King of Jin to open the net, and the adults do not remember the villain." ”
"Tsukazai, you have spoken, and this king should look at your face."
"Can Your Highness's remaining two heralds be handed over to the old minister to deal with?"
"These two heralds pretended to spread the prince's message, intending to drive a wedge between our brothers, so naturally they had to bring them back to Daxing City to send them to their father."
Yuan Xiaoyuan still had that smiling expression: "Your Highness, there must be a misunderstanding in this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did order someone to come to you." ”
Yang Guang pretended to be frightened: "Why is this real herald soldier like a fake, I don't know the etiquette, and I think the prince's door is not strict, so deal with it on the spot." ”
Yuan Xiaoyuan hurriedly answered: "Your Highness, don't worry, although they are at fault, but after all, it is a life, and there are parents, wives and children at home, and the crime is not to death, so please show mercy to Your Highness." ”
Yang Guang smiled a little playfully, Yuan Xiaoyuan would be morally kidnapped.
Speaking of which, Yang Guang waved his hand, and the two heralds ran away, as if they were about to be amnesty.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is righteous."
"Motozuka Jae opened his mouth, and I should give myself a face."
"Your Highness, please come inside."
After some twists and turns, Yang Guang finally stepped into Luoyang City.
Luoyang is an ancient and eternally vibrant city, like an eternal stage, paved with the brilliant colors of life.
The bustling streets, like a huge pulse of life, always beating with vitality and enthusiasm, the signboards of those shops, bright as the bright stars in the night sky, and the shouts of the streets and alleys, like the pulse of the city, add vivid music to the world, look at the people in a hurry, their steps, like a metronome, set the rhythm for this city song, those carriages full of goods, like the blood of the city, flowing in every corner of the city.
In terms of the current overall environmental situation, the potential of Luoyang City should be greater than that of Chang'an City, and it is no wonder that the capital was moved to Luoyang in history.
Outside the Luoyang Tomb Mansion, Yang Yonghou was here, and when he saw Yang Guang coming, he greeted him with open arms and a smile on his face.
"Second brother, you can count on it, let me wait for my brother."
Yang Guang dismounted, the two looked like brothers, friends and brothers, Yang Guang said respectfully: "Brother Huang, because I want to explore the address of the granary construction, I came late, Brother Huang, don't blame." ”
It seems that the tension at the city gate just now has nothing to do with Yang Yong.
"How come, I'm worried that I haven't heard from you for so long, don't run into any trouble on the road."
"Thank you Brother Huang for your concern."
Yang Yong pulled Yang Guang and said: "Let's go, Yuan Tsukazai has already prepared his father's palace in Luoyang, you and I can live in it together, and you will also live in Luoyang for a long time, so it is more convenient to live." ”
Yuan Xiaoju also said: "Yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty's palace was specially ordered to be redecorated before, and you two happened to live first." ”
Yang Guang frowned, retreated behind everyone, and thought: "These two guys really didn't hold back any good fart, they just wanted to harm me." ”
"By no means, my father's palace and brother are naturally lived by the prince, but I can't live there."
"Eh, second brother, you say this, we are brothers, and my father trusts you so much, can you still not let you live?"
Yang Guang postponed it for the second time: "Big brother, I have never been used to living in the palace, I can't sleep in that big place, and I can't trespass, it's my father's palace, I'd better find a small courtyard to live in, it's already set before I came, Yang Guang thanked you for your kindness." ”
"As far as I know, His Highness has never been to Luoyang, how can there be a place?"
Yang Guang smiled and replied to Yuan Xiaoju's question: "It's good for me to come for the first time, but the eldest sister has often come before, and the eldest sister said that she bought a few sets of small courtyards, and let me come and live there, I am still more used to living in such a place, I know the address, Yuan Tsuka Zai ordered a subordinate who is familiar with the road to help me lead the way." ”
Speaking of this, there was no reason for the two to continue to persuade, Yuan Xiaoju had to say: "Your Highness, you have already entered the city with so many guards around you, let them go to the military camp in Luoyang City to stay first, so as not to scare the people of Luoyang City." ”
Yang Guang looked at Li Feng: "Li Feng left a hundred guards to follow me, and the rest arranged to go to the barracks, but don't slack off on daily drills, I will go to see it at any time, and when I go out of the city to see the address of the shipyard, someone must follow me, always on standby." ”
"Yes, Your Highness."
Yuan Xiaoju and the others didn't say anything anymore, so they had to watch Yang Guang go away.
Yang Yong looked at his back and said: "Father-in-law saw it, I said that this kid will pretend to be, he will act at any time and be true, what can't be encroached upon, what he says on his face, he may want to live in his heart, he may wish to lie down in the palace and live in it all the time." ”
In the face of Yang Yong's mocking words, Yuan Xiaoju did not answer, Yang Guang and Yang Yong's performances were very different, Yuan Xiaoju only sighed that if Yang Yong was not born early, this scheming city would be far behind in front of Yang Guang.
Regardless of whether Yang Guang is consistent or pretending, there is nothing wrong with his face, but Yang Yong is self-righteous and does not have a deep plan.
Yuan Xiaoju admonished: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister thinks that you should spend more attention on governance now, Your Majesty ordered you to take charge of the land of Northern Qi, to the east of the terrain platform, the land is fertile, and in recent years, it is considered abundant, as long as you govern these places well, Your Majesty will be very satisfied." ”
Speaking of this, Yang Yong's face was dissatisfied and resentful: "Hmph, I was ordered to be in charge of the land of Northern Qi but did not give military power, and the troops that can be mobilized are limited, is this to prevent me?" ”
Yuan Xiaoju hurriedly interrupted Yang Yong: "His Royal Highness the Prince, be cautious, Your Majesty has a deep meaning in doing things, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not have military power in his hands now, as long as His Royal Highness manages it well, he will definitely have military power." ”
"Hmph, it sounds like my position is big, but it seems to be a better position for the second child, and I don't have to worry about those messy things, just raise those flat-headed people like cattle and horses, what is there to manage."
Yuan Xiaoju felt helpless in his heart: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you still don't see Your Majesty's good intentions. ”
"Oh? How to say? ”
"Your Royal Highness, the land of Northern Qi is the capital of Southern Chen in the south, and now Your Majesty wants to fight the Turks, so you haven't moved Southern Chen, but in the future, when the Great Sui conquers the Central Plains, if you govern the Northern Qi well, this southern expedition will inevitably fall on you, and then you are still worried about having no military power? Now Your Majesty is testing you. ”
When Yang Yong heard this, he first frowned and then thought about it, so he immediately laughed: "Listening to my father-in-law's words really made me feel empowered." ”
"Uncle Yue, what do you think I should do now?"
"Your Highness, don't be distracted by other things, concentrate on governing the locality, be tolerant and benevolent, and the decree will be smooth, Your Majesty will govern the country according to the law, you will preach the law of opening the emperor in various places, and you don't have to worry about other things."
"That's not good, I'm outside, when the second guy is fooled, my father is fine, I'm afraid that the queen mother's ears will be soft, believe him nonsense, and I must find a way to deal with him first."
Yuan Xiaoju's face was dark: "Your Highness, you just need to manage the place, and the old minister will help you." ”
Yang Yong immediately said respectfully to Yuan Xiaoju: "Uncle Yue, I was ignorant and offended a lot before, and I will never be in the future." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious, the Crown Princess is my favorite daughter, and I deserve to think about you."
Yang Yong didn't think that Yuan Xiaoju was of much use before, but now he has come to his senses when he uses others.
……
Yang Guang was dumbfounded when he came to Yang Lihua's bought residence in Luoyang.
Before coming, Yang Lihua explained to him that he had bought a few sets of small courtyards in Luoyang City, and Yang Guang didn't care, and when he really saw these sets of courtyards, he would be stupid, and Yang Lihua's words couldn't be believed by a word.
Where are these sets, and where is this small yard?
Yang Lihua directly bought a large piece of land in Luoyang, and ordered someone to take care of it, and the area may be larger than a square area in Daxing City, she really wants to buy a house wherever she goes now, and flipping a house is her first priority in life.
Because Yang Lihua sent someone to inform him before, Yang Guang stayed in this courtyard directly, and the guards took over the security work, so he still had to be careful when he went out, so as not to get into other people's ways, and he was a person who was vulnerable to assassination.
Wang Yi took the map and came to Yang Guang's side: "Your Highness, this is the map of Luoyang left to you by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, which marks the location of the shipyard she explored. ”
This well-marked and beautifully portrayed map obviously can't be made by Yang Lihua herself, so it is estimated that someone bought it somewhere.
It would still be much more convenient to have maps in ancient times.
"Wang Yi, we will set off early tomorrow morning to see the location of the shipyard, and if it is appropriate, we will directly decide to start work there."
"Yes, Your Highness."
On the second day, Yang Guang set off early in the morning and came to a flat river bay, and the depth of the river here is deep, and the road downstream to the Yangtze River is also very close, even if he wants to widen the river, it will not cost too much.
"I have to say that my eldest sister always has a unique vision, this place is really good, Wang Yi recorded it, sent it back to Daxing City to Yu Wenkai, and let Wang Long, who will be the chief eunuch, be in charge of the shipyard."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Li Feng ran over at this time and said, "Your Highness just came to Luoyang City with a small team of people, is it looking for you?" ”
"Who? My big brother? ”
"No, the person who came claimed to be the prince of Pushan County, said that the eldest son of the family was full moon, feasted in Luoyang, and learned that His Royal Highness was here, so he specially came to invite."
Yang Guang's face was playful: "Pushan County Gong...... Looks like I'm going to have to check it out. ”
