Yang Yuanqing returned to the capital in the afternoon. At Mingdemen, he broke up with Shan Xiongxin and his party, and Yang Yuanqing returned to Yang's mansion.

Although Yang Yuanqing did not like the Yang Mansion, especially when his grandfather Yang Su was not in the mansion, he was reluctant to live here. The Yang Mansion made him feel an unspeakable depression. Although under the pressure of his grandfather, the Yang Mansion had already given him the treatment of his legitimate son, Yang Yuanqing still felt a gaze hidden behind him, stabbing people like a needle, which was a kind of jealousy and dissatisfaction.

However, Yang Yuanqing had no place to go for the moment, so he could only return to the Yang Mansion temporarily. Fortunately, he had a separate courtyard and once the door was closed, he could ignore the affairs of the Yang Mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of Yang Mansion, Yang Yuanqing turned over and dismounted. He was about to lead the horse into the mansion, but the two of them walked out of the mansion, talking and laughing, both of them were thirty-four or five years old, with fair skin and gentle temperament, but they were all wearing official uniforms, and they were actually in the fourth-grade uniforms.

These two were both Yang Xuangan's brothers, one was Yang Wanshi and the other was Yang Renxing. They were Yang Su's sons and were mainly responsible for managing the farm in the Yang Mansion. However, the brothers were very happy in the past two days. The two of them were awarded the title of the fourth-rank Yi and the third-rank Yi and the third-rank Yi and the third-rank for their father's contribution to Yang Liang. Even the housekeeper Yang Xuantǐng was awarded the title of the Xunguan Yi and the third-rank. The Yang Mansion was awarded 50,000 pieces of silk and 1,000 pieces of silk, making the entire Yang Mansion feel like a festival.

"Oh! Isn't this Yuan Qing? Where have you been during this period?" the two brothers asked with a smile.

Yang Yuanqing secretly went to Youzhou, and his title of officialdom was announced in Daizhou. Most people in the capital did not know about it, and only a very small number of people in the Yang Mansion knew about it.

Yang Yuanqing smiled and bowed and bowed, "Two uncles, I have something to do when I go out during this period."

"Oh! Go and do your business, we're out if we have something to do."

The two brothers only said hello to Yang Yuanqing indifferently, turned around and left. The two of them did not take Yang Yuanqing to heart at all. In fact, they took it very seriously, but they just used this indifferent way to express their contempt for Yang Yuanqing. Sometimes when the concubine's sons were enemies, the concubine's sons were more likely to develop hostility.

Yang Yuanqing rarely saw these two uncles since he was a child. He only met by chance during festivals. He was a little surprised in his heart when these two uncles were granted official positions, so why didn't he know at all?

"General Yang!"

Someone called him behind him. When Yang Yuanqing turned around, he saw three young men standing not far away. Yang Yuanqing recognized him. The leader was the shìguard official under the King of Jin, named Yu Qingjuan. The two behind him were very young, both seventeen or eighteen years old, and they looked like a pair of brothers, Xue Wanjun, and the younger brother Xue Wanche, was the sons of Xue Wanxiong, the right guard general.

"It turns out it's General Yu, two brothers Xue, why are you here?"

Yu Qingjuan stepped forward and smiled and said, "We are ordered by the King of Jin to wait for you to come back. We have been waiting for you for a long time."

Yang Yuanqing was stunned. How did the King of Jin know that he was back today?

"Is there anything wrong with Your Highness King Jin?"

"There may be a more important thing for King Jin to invite General Yang to go there. If General Yang is convenient, please follow me now."

It was fine for Yang Yuanqing to return to Yang Mansion last time Yang Zhao treated him well, but he left without saying goodbye, so he should have seen him.

"Okay! I'll go with the general."

"Two brothers Xue, how did you become martial arts recently?"

"Yuanqing, if you have time, let's compete with the horse spear."

The Xue brothers are very skilled in martial arts, so they always wanted to compete with Yang Yuanqing. Yang Yuanqing happily agreed, "Okay! We will compete in a few days."

When Yang Yuanqing came to Yongchang Square, a team of more than a hundred people rushed out of the yard with a carriage. A purple pennant flag was inserted on the roof, and the word "Jin" was written on it. This is the carriage of the King of Jin.

"Yaoqing!"

King Yang Zhao of Jin saw him from a distance, and poked his head out of the car window and waved to him.

Yang Yuanqing urged him to immediately go forward and give him a deep bow, "See Your Highness, King of Jin!"

Yang Zhao laughed and said, "Last time you ran fast, but you didn't even say a word to me and you disappeared. You should be punished with three glasses of wine."

Yang Yuanqing also smiled embarrassedly, "Last time... it was a bit surprised."

"Stop talking, I know what happened, how, get in the car and talk to me."

Although Yang Zhao was very fat, he was enthusiastic and cheerful. Yang Yuanqing felt that he had something to say to him, so he smiled happily and said, "Then it's better to obey your orders than respect."

He handed over the war horse and the Sky Spear to the guard officer Yu Qingsi, and himself got into Yang Zhao's carriage.

After entering the carriage, I found that the carriage was extremely spacious, like a room with desks and bookshelfs. There was also a young book boy of eight or nine years old. The carriage was very comfortable, covered with a thick carpet, and two famous calligraphy and paintings of Wei and Jin dynasties were hung on the wall of the carriage. The carriage walked all the way without feeling bumpy.

"Sit as you like!"

Yang Zhao smiled and asked Yang Yuanqing to sit down, and then ordered Xiao Shutong, "Pour a cup of tea for General Yang."

Yang Yuanqing sat down opposite Yang Zhao and asked with a smile: "How did your Highness know that I'm going back to Beijing today?"

A hint of cunning appeared in Yang Zhao's smile, "Not only did I know that you were back, I also knew that you had a conflict with Yang Lai's people in Bashang, right!"

Yang Yuanqing understood, and he also smiled and said, "It should be said that because I had a conflict with Yang Lai's people, your highness realized that I was back."

Yang Zhao laughed loudly, and he gave a thumbs up, "No, smarter than I thought, but...

Speaking of the word "but", Yang Zhao's smile disappeared, and his god became serious, staring at Yang Yuanqing and said, "But with Yang Lai's style, he will not let you go. You have to be careful and don't be plotted against by others. The people under his command can do anything poisonous."

"Thank you for your concern, I will definitely be careful."

Yang Zhao smiled and said earnestly: "Actually, the structure of the power in the capital is very complicated. You should not only be cautious in the capital, but also pay attention to some forces. Don't provoke them easily and cause unnecessary trouble to yourself."

After pausing, Yang Zhao sighed again: "The father wanted to move the capital to Luoyang and weaken the power of the Guanlong nobles. Unexpectedly, the Guanlong nobles opposed it strongly in the court. Shortly after his father ascended the throne, he could not suppress them, so he had to bear this tone. Yesterday, the father was furious about this, but he had no choice but to do anything."

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently. The Guanlong nobles had a deep connection in the military and almost controlled a large army. Yang Yuanqing also heard about the northern aristocrats, but he was not very clear, so he asked: "Can your highness simply tell me about the humble position?"

"I can only tell you simply, but the relationship is too complicated."

Yang Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, the entire Sui Dynasty is a family of all kinds and all kinds of families, with at least thousands of families. However, in the upper power structure, there are actually only three major sects, one of the royal families. Needless to say, there are the Guanlong nobles and the northern aristocratic sect. The Guanlong nobles are mainly represented by two families, one is the Dugu family and the Yuan family. Other Guanlong family families such as Changsun, Yuwen, Houmo, Li family, Yu family, etc., are basically attached to these two families."

After pausing, Yang Zhao saw that Yang Yuanqing was very focused and continued, "The northern aristocratic families are also represented by two families. One is your Hongnong Yang family, and the other is the Wenxi Pei family. Similarly, other northern aristocratic families, such as the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Gao family of Bohai, the Xiao family of Southern and other families, are also attached to these two major aristocratic families. It is actually a combination of political interests, and there is no master-slave relationship, so it is just that."

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently. He probably understood one thing. He didn't care or interest in this complex interest relationship. At this time, he remembered something and asked, "Which family does He Ruobi belong to?"

Yang Zhao thought for a while and said, "He Ruobi is like Han Qinhu, and is also considered a nobleman in Guanlong. His father He Ruodu and Dugu Xin have a very good relationship. He Ruobi often has contacts with the Dugu family, especially with Dugu Luo. He Ruobi was almost executed by the emperor's grandfather for several crimes. It was Dugu Luo who asked Empress Dugu to plead with him, so he was spared. Yuan Qing, if there is a little Dugu family invites you to a banquet, it will definitely not be a good banquet. Maybe it is a Hongmen Banquet, you have to be careful."

Yang Yuanqing nodded and said, "Actually, I don't think the King of Qi will cause me trouble directly. I suspect that he will use the revenge between He Ruobi and me to provoke He Ruobi to deal with me."

"good!"

Yang Zhao admired Yang Yuanqing's intelligence very much. He sneered: "Now Yang Lai is the time to show his strength. He will not offend your grandfather. He is indeed likely to kill someone with a knife. This is his usual good show."

The two of them talked all the way, and the carriage slowly stopped, and the guard said outside: "Your Majesty, you're here!"

Yang Yuanqing looked out through the car window and saw them parked in front of an extremely vast mansion, which made Yang Yuanqing suspected that it was the palace, "Your Highness, this is..."

Yang Zhao smiled and said, "Don't ask, I'll take you to see someone."

The carriage was parked next to the side door, and several eunuchs were waiting at the door. They stopped to salute, "Your Highness, the princess has been waiting for a long time."

"Princess?"

Yang Yuanqing was stunned. What kind of princess could this be?

Yang Yuanqing looked at Yang Zhao suspiciously, but Yang Zhao kept silent and said with a smile: "Just come with me."

Two eunuchs helped him to the inner palace. Yang Yuanqing was confused and followed Yang Zhao into the mansion. The mansion occupied a huge area, but there were not many buildings, and there were not many precious flowers and trees. Large forests could be seen everywhere. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival was over, the trees here were still green, most of which were evergreen all year round.

The exquisite small buildings are hidden in the dense shade of trees, and the gurgling river makes people feel as if they are in the forest. Everything remains in the original state of the forest. Yang Yuanqing feels that this place is very similar to the Xi Neiyuan where he had hunted before.

Walking through a small bridge, they entered the inner house. The inner house was still densely shady and connected to the outside, but the trees became much more expensive. The rosewoods, camphor trees in the south, the polentas of the Western Regions, the white sausages, etc. can be seen in the inner house.

Given Yang Yuanqing's feeling, the owner here is a person who loves green trees and nature. I wonder which princess lives here? It makes Yang Yuanqing full of expectations and curiosity.

They walked past a white jade flat bridge and stopped slowly. Several eunuchs were very careful and their steps were slight, fearing that the sound of footsteps would alarm ahead.

In front is a white jade platform with exquisitely carved railings around it. Under the platform is a lake pool, and groups of red carp churning up and down in the lake water compete for food.

Standing on the platform, a woman was tall, wearing a snow-white wide gauze dress, and her black hair was scattered on her shoulders, like a waterfall, without any jewelry on her body. Although she was dressed simply, she gave her a sense of beauty and elegance. Her temperament was integrated with the surrounding forest and lake water, as if she was a fairy in the forest...

She had a piece of wheat cake in her hand. She crushed the wheat cake with her slender and white fingers and sprinkled it into the lake water, allowing the fish to compete for food.

Yang Zhao stepped forward and bowed, "I brought it to Yang Yuanqing."
