Xiao Menglan set off to Xiliang on the same day, according to the current road and footsteps, if you hurry quickly, you will definitely be able to arrive in three or five days, this is still Xiao Menglan must take a carriage, otherwise the horse riding can be faster, the road between Xiliang and Dasui has now been built wide enough.

That night, Yang Guang summoned Li Yuan, and after two drinks, the two said: "Cousin, my father asked me how to solve the matter of Xiliang, and I kept the lord of Xiliang belonging to the Xiao family, do you think this will not be in line with my father's wishes?" ”

Li Yuan still looked bitter and hateful: "The holy will is unpredictable, I can't say it, but Xiliang's belonging to the Xiao family is a great benefit to you, Your Highness, Your Highness, you have done nothing wrong." ”

Yang Guang rubbed his forehead: "I'm afraid the southern expedition won't last long, at most half a year, my father must order the southern expedition, and my father can't wait to unify the world." ”

"Your Highness, what are you going to do, you have always wanted to hold the initiative of this southern expedition, but now Your Majesty has ordered the King of Shu and the King of Qin to manage this matter."

Yang Guang also had a headache about this matter.

Li Yuan analyzed: "Your Highness, if you make an obstacle in this matter, the King of Shu and the King of Qin will definitely not be able to get any benefit in your hands, but in this case, Your Majesty will definitely blame you for this. ”

"Li Yuan, if these two people lead the troops to unify Nanchen, then is my position as the crown prince stable or unstable?"

Li Yuan thought for a long time and replied: "Your Highness, if you don't make a mistake, you should still be very stable, Your Majesty can't change the crown prince in a short time, and Your Highness, you are not at fault, and you have real power, and the minister doesn't think that the King of Shu and the King of Qin will threaten your status." ”

Yang Guang nodded: "I think so too, so I plan to let them go to fight Nan Chen, and definitely not intervene, my father has allowed the Xiao family to be the lord of Xiliang, if I still interfere in Nan Chen's affairs, it will definitely disappoint my father." ”

Li Yuan also agreed with Yang Guang's opinion: "Although I am unwilling, the minister also thinks so. ”

"Okay, then start withdrawing part of the arranged Ying Yangwei today, and inform Han Baohu Yang Su and others to cooperate with King Qin of Shu, of course, it is just cooperation, as for whether they themselves have this ability, it depends on their own."

Li Yuan nodded.

In the middle of the night, Yuan Tiantian lay beside Yang Guang with a smile in his beautiful eyes: "Your Highness, you seem to be very worried. ”

"I always feel uneasy."

"Tiangang has calculated it for Niangniang, this time it is a flat hexagram, at most it is a small murderous hexagram, the crown princess Niangniang has no potential safety hazards, you don't have to worry so much."

"Hopefully."

……

Three days passed quietly, and Ying Yangwei came back with news that Xiao Menglan and Yang Zhao had arrived safely in Jiangling City, and the lord of Xiliang was already lying on the hospital bed at this time, angry, and it was estimated that it would be only a matter of these two days.

Yang Guang helped the emperor in the palace to deal with government affairs.

Queen Dugu came to him with the palace maids, and several palace maids carried all kinds of almost and carefully cooked soup prepared in the imperial dining room in their hands.

"Ammor, how about reviewing the recitals for your father every day these days? Tired or not? ”

"The queen mother, the sons and daughters share the burden for the father and the queen mother, and they don't feel tired."

Queen Dugu brought over a small cup of exquisite porcelain: "This is the chicken soup specially boiled for you by the palace, put some nourishing herbs, and boiled for two hours." ”

Yang Guang took the chicken soup and said respectfully, "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

"I just heard from the palace maid that she was so busy that she only ate a few bites of lunch, right?"

Yang Guang smiled simply.

Queen Dugu looked at Wang Yi, who was beside Yang Guang, and said reproachfully: "Wang Yi, you have been following Amand for so many years, Amand has forgotten to sleep and eat, you, the head of the East Palace, can't see or hear it, no matter how busy you are at the meal, you have to let the prince eat something, if the prince is hungry and hurts his stomach, this palace will punish you." ”

Wang Yi hurriedly replied respectfully: "Queen Mother, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, and the slave and maid don't dare." ”

"Queen Mother, Wang Yi reminded me that I am not hungry."

Queen Dugu said: "Drink it first, and if you like it, you will have someone cook it for you tomorrow." ”

"It's delicious, it's very sweet."

Mother and son are filial, and it is another happy day.

After staring at Yang Guang and eating, Queen Dugu said: "Amo, today is Lihua's birthday, I was going to call Lihua to enter the palace, but you know your eldest sister's temperament, do everything possible to shirk, and we are not easy to twist, I have prepared some gifts for her, you can go out of the palace today and bring it to her." ”

As soon as he heard this, Yang Guang knew that Yang Lihua had a conflict with the second elder again, the relationship between Yang Lihua and Yang Jian was always good and bad, and the reason was very simple when it was bad, Bacheng was that the emperor moved the idea of finding a husband for her daughter again.

"Queen Mother, the eldest sister's gift, you and your father ordered someone to give it, and you can't have a stiff relationship."

Queen Dugu sighed lightly: "Your Majesty took a fancy to the descendants of the Cui family before, and wanted to recruit as a fast son-in-law of Chenglong, Lihua made trouble with us, and His Majesty was also angry and talked to her, and after thinking about it, I felt that there was no need to make such a stiff quarrel between father and daughter because of such a thing, and now I can't pull it down." ”

"The relationship between you and Lihua has always been good, you help bring the gifts, of course there will be a holy decree to show respect, this palace is also afraid of Lihua's temperament, in case the holy decree is not accepted by her, it will not be good if the really noisy Your Majesty can't come to the stage."

Queen Dugu instructed earnestly: "You help to talk and make peace, let your eldest sister not be angry, and accept a gift to apologize to Your Majesty, there is a step down, and this matter can be regarded as the past." ”

Let Yang Lihua apologize, this difficulty is a high take-off, Yang Guang said with a sad face: "Queen Mother, I interfered in the eldest sister's affairs a little back then, but the eldest sister took a sword and went directly to my house to cut me." ”

"She's just scaring you, and besides, can she really hurt you with her clicking?"

"Queen Mother's ......"

"Ammor, you are the crown prince and you have to share your worries for Your Majesty, and if you do a good job, you can still share your Majesty's worries if you look at it for more than ten days."

Yang Guang had to sigh and take over the task.

He really understands very well that Yang Lihua is not angry with the emperor, Yang Lihua has a hot personality, but quarreling with the emperor is also intentional.

She is a smart and hard-working woman who lives a life of despised wealth and wealth.

As the top noblewoman in the capital, is she really as glamorous as she looks? How can people talk about a woman who let her father take away her son-in-law's family property behind her back?

Yang Jian didn't care, but she cared.

There is no greater mourning than death.

She knew exactly what the emperor would tolerate her and what he wouldn't.

Set thousands of favors in one, set thousands of criticisms in one.

When Yang Guang finished sorting out the government affairs, it was already late at night, and he went out of the palace to Yang Lihua's mansion with the holy decree and gifts.

As one of the richest and most powerful women in Daxing City, Yang Lihua often has distinguished guests visiting her house, and there are more than celebrities, and even a large courtyard has been opened in the side courtyard of the house for literati and ink writers to communicate, and her house has been distinguished.

It's also very simple for her to do this, to make her style higher and higher, even if these richest and most powerful people are constantly vassal and elegant, they seem to spend a lot of money, but they actually make a lot of money.

This is the vane of the Great Sui trend.

Yang Lihua, who has always liked to be lively, ended this year's birthday banquet very early, and Yang Guang had already begun to leave when he arrived.

Everyone passed by Yang Guang's side and saluted the prince one after another.

Wang Yi whispered to Yang Guang: "Your Highness must have a demon when something goes wrong, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is not like a person who will end the banquet early, you should be more careful." ”

Yang Guang felt a little funny and said, "You seem to be very afraid of my eldest sister." ”

"Your Highness, the slave maid said something that should not be said, it is not that the slave and maid are afraid of the eldest princess, but that the entire Daxing City is not afraid of the eldest princess, I am afraid that only Your Highness is you."

"The eldest sister doesn't eat people."

Yang Guang walked inside, and the slaves and maids in the eldest princess's mansion didn't stop them when they saw Yang Guang, and approached the banquet hall where everyone had dispersed, Yang Lihua's most personal maid saw Yang Guangcai and stepped forward to stop him and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess is drunk, you ......."

The subordinates did not dare to say anything about the expulsion of guests.

Bang, bang, bang

Yang Guang heard the sound of smashing things, and frowned: "Is the eldest sister smashing things?" ”

The maid nodded with an embarrassed face: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is not in a good mood today. ”

"Someone offended her at the banquet?"

"No, it's just a sudden tantrum start."

Yang Guang said: "I'll go see her." ”

The maid was very worried: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the eldest princess is drunk and has a tantrum......"

"Don't worry, and I have received the decree and must go."

As soon as she heard the decree, the maid hurriedly knelt down first.

Yang Guang walked inside and saw Yang Lihua sitting at a table, the dishes were scattered all over the ground, and there was a respectable shareholder jade on the table.

The maids just want this aunt not to hurt themselves.

Yang Guang stepped forward, and the maids knelt down one after another: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Yang Lihua raised her eyes to look at Yang Guang and just said, "Coming?" I thought you weren't coming. Then he started throwing things again.

"Eldest sister doesn't feel sorry for money? These things are very expensive. ”

Yang Lihua said drunkenly and lazily: "Isn't it to make money just to buy some fun, these things make me happy, even if it's worth it." ”

Yang Guang waved his hand and asked Wang Yi to take his subordinates back away, Wang Yi was very worried, but they had to obey the prince's will.

He understood that Yang Lihua seemed to be drunk, but she was a person who was still very sober even if she drank too much, and it was this sobriety that made people uncomfortable, she didn't even have the right to be confused.

"Eldest sister, at your birthday banquet, why didn't my brother even have wine when he came?"

Yang Lihua stood up and took the wine from the table next to her and handed it to Yang Guang: "Drink." ”

Yang Guang smiled, poured the wine and drank it.

"Amour, what do you say this man is living for?"

"To live."

"To live?"

Yang Guang said earnestly: "Eldest sister, people's lives are determined by heaven, some people are rich, some people are poor, some people die young, some people live a long life, and the things that God has set cannot be changed." ”

Yang Lihua looked up at the moon in the sky, and the moon was full tonight, and murmured: "That...... How boring. ”

After sighing, Yang Lihua said: "I see that you have brought people from the palace behind you, and you are here to be a lobbyist for your father, queen and mother today." ”

Yang Guang nodded and did not deny it: "Eldest sister, after falling out with my father and queen mother, since the two saints have bowed their heads, they have to accept it when they see it, so as not to really hurt the harmony." ”

Yang Lihua blushed and smiled: "Yes, you have to accept it when you see it, the ignorant daughter can mess around for a while, but she can't keep messing around, lest there will be no chance to mess around next time, leave the gifts, and say that I know I was wrong after going back to tell my father and mother." ”

Yang Guang knew that Yang Lihua was extremely sober, and she always knew what she wanted.

"Eldest sister, I have to advise you, don't keep messing with your father and queen mother, now that you have everything, it's almost fine."

Yang Lihua's eyes were full of melancholy: "Amo, I have been dreaming of Shen'er (Yuwen Yan, Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty) recently, when he was brought to me and called my mother, he was still a small one, but this table is generally high. ”

"Later...... My father promised me to spare his life, but why did my father kill him? ”

Politically speaking, Yang Jian has become the emperor, of course the last emperor of the Yuwen family can't stay, but from Yang Lihua's personal point of view, Yang Jian deceived her and killed her son who was raised by her side, although he was not his own, but after all, he was raised by his side for a long time.

Yang Lihua continued: "After all, I am the daughter-in-law of the Yuwen family, a husband and wife for a hundred days, but in the end I couldn't protect his son, I can't get over it in my heart, you know?!" ”

After speaking, Yang Lihua cried.

A smart woman knows everything and understands everything, but she is entangled with herself, no one can help with this matter, and Yang Guang can only sigh helplessly.

Yang Guang left the gifts and holy decrees, and instructed the subordinates in Yang Lihua's mansion to take care of the eldest princess, and then prepared to go out.

When he walked to the door, he heard a woman's voice behind him: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Yang Guang came back to his senses, the person who came was dressed as a maid in the eldest princess's mansion, looking at the face, it was not Yang Lihua who often brought the personal maid around him, but the eldest princess's mansion has always been strict in employing people, so Yang Guang didn't doubt it much.

Yang Guang asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the eldest princess has something to tell you."

"Whisper."

The woman took a step forward, taking advantage of the fact that Yang Guang and the people around her were defenseless, and for a moment she didn't know what was thrown out of her hand, and she lost Yang Guang's eyes, and then she only felt a sharp pain in her chest.

Yang Guang felt that the world was spinning for a while, and the last voice he heard before losing consciousness was Wang Yi shouting: "Keep your mouth alive!" ”
