Chapter 20 Gaofeng Incident

Pei Ju couldn't help but be stunned and asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, "Don't Pei still see the suppression of the Yang family by the emperor?"

Pei Ju was silent. Most people only knew that Yang Yuanqing was removed from the family and did not know the reason. The Yang family was even more secretive about this matter and never publicized it. More importantly, Yang Yue was dead, and the reason why Yang Yuanqing was removed became a mystery.

But Pei Ju is also a veteran in the officialdom. Yang Yuanqing's reminder suddenly made him realize that the suppression of the Yang family and the favor of Yang Yuanqing can be said to be a world of ice and fire. Indeed, if Yang Yuanqing returns to the Yang family, his favor will no longer exist, and Pei Ju also has a little more worry.

"Yuan Qing, what do you think?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled a little helplessly, "Mr. Pei, I understand some things in my heart. I don't want to be guilty of being unfilial, which will affect my reputation. But if I can't accept it emotionally, I won't go back. At most, I will maintain a harmonious face with my father, or be apart from the gods. I think this will not ruin my reputation, nor will I be tabooed by the emperor."

Pei Ju is an extremely pragmatic person. He pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Maybe this is the best way. Although reputation is important, it cannot affect your future. It's just that you have reconciled with your father. Everyone knows that the emperor may be a little unfavorable to you."

"Mr. Pei, I think the emperor is an extremely tolerant person and very smart. He will not draw conclusions just because of a meeting between me and my father. The relationship between the Yang family and me has been frozen until now. Will it melt if a gust of wind blows? I think the emperor should understand it in his heart."

"You are right. The Lord will not change his impression of you because of one change."

Pei Ju also agreed with Yang Yuanqing's idea. For the benefit of the Pei family, he actually didn't want Yang Yuanqing to return to the family. He hoped to maintain the status quo. If Yang Yuanqing returned to the family, he would consider the interests of the Yang family everywhere, and the interests of the Pei family would become insignificant, which is a result that Pei Ju would never want to see.

It is precisely this kind of enlightenment that Pei Ju didn't want Yang Yuanqing to lose his holy family because of reconciliation with the Yang family. He thought to himself, 'The marriage of Yang Yuanqing and Minqiu is the key, and the Yang family must not participate. He wants to think of a way, it is best to let Yang Xuangan not participate in Yang Yuanqing's marriage. The Holy Hall."

In the afternoon, the team stopped on a vast grassland. After Yang Yuanqing's persuasion several times, Yang Lihua finally walked out of the city and rode on the vast grassland. She laughed for the first time after her relatives died of illness.

"Yuanqing, is Dajinshan there?"

Yang Lihua pointed to the dark ridge in the distance and smiled slightly, "It doesn't seem far."

Yang Lihua's white dress is like snow, and the breeze blows her flowing hair. Time has added a few fine wrinkles to her forehead, but it cannot change her noble and dignified temperament.

Yang Yuanqing also smiled and said, "Although it seems not far, it is actually a hundred miles apart."

"Yes! The vast grassland makes people feel broad."

Yang Lihua looked at the boundless grassland, and the depression and unscathed sadness in her heart also disappeared. She let out a long sigh and smiled, "There is also a vast grassland in Xiyuan. Although it is not as boundless as the grassland, I have enough vision for me. I never go there, but now I figured it out. It is because my life is too narrow and my mood is not wide. I have to go there often after I return to Beijing."

She turned around and smiled gratefully at Yang Yuanqing and said, "Yuanqing, I really want to thank you this time. I really feel much better."

Yang Yuanqing was sweating slightly on her forehead and smiled and said, "Is Your Highness going back?"

Yang Lihua also felt a little tired, so she nodded, "Okay! Let's go back."

They turned their horses and rushed towards the city of ** more than ten miles away. More than a dozen guards followed closely behind them. After a while, they returned to City of ** and saw King Yan Yang of Yan competing with his brother Yang Tong from a distance.

Yang Qing suddenly saw Yang Yuanqing and shouted, "General Yang, we are looking for you, teach us how to practice swords!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly in his heart. He became the royal coach. Yang Lihua smiled slightly, "Yuanqing, go! They all like you very much."

"Okay! I will teach you a few sword techniques."

Yang Yuanqing turned over and dismounted, took a wooden sword from the guard's hand, shook his wrist, pulled out several sword flowers, and stabbed Yang Li gently, "Your Highness, push it back one and a half steps, and use a horizontal block!"

He stabbed Yang Tong gently with a sword. Yang Tong was caught off guard, and took a step back in a panic and fell to the ground. However, he was full of excitement, got up, cheered, and stabbed Yang Yuanqing.

** At the top of the city wall, Yang Guang and Empress Xiao were looking out from afar and teaching Yang Yuanqing to teach his two children to practice swords. Yang Guang had an elusive smile on his face. No one knew what he was thinking?

Empress Xiao sighed softly. The death of the eldest son made her heart full of self-blame. She should not hate her son because of her obesity. It was not her son's fault, but that he was seriously ill. His son was tortured by severe illness, but she disliked him. Every time she thought of the difficult situation of her eldest son walking, she felt endless regret in her heart.

It was this regret that made her once hostile to Yang Yuanqing disappear. Looking at Yang Yuanqing teaching her two grandsons to practice swords, Empress Xiao also showed a hint of relief on her face. She turned to Yang Guang and said, "Master, I think it would be nice to let General Yang be the master of the lord and others."

Yang Guang smiled and slowly shook his head, "I'm useful to him!"

The patrol team was stationed less than ten miles away from Shengle City, the former capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Pei Ju and more than a dozen ministers had already made an appointment to stay and go out for a trip together.

Shengle City is located on a low hill, shaking the only way to Yulin County to get to the hinterland of the grassland. The city has been abandoned for a hundred years, leaving only a ruined wall. The city is covered with weeds, and the only slightly complete buildings have become a place for merchants to stay overnight.

The Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe Su Wei, the Minister of Personnel Niu Hong, the Minister of Personnel Pei Ju, the Minister of Revenue Pei Yun, the Minister of Revenue Pei Jin, the Minister of Guanglu Temple Zheng Shanguo, the Censor Zhang Heng, and the Old Prime Minister Gao Jin, etc., more than a dozen ministers rode horses to this abandoned city, and hundreds of soldiers were guarding them around.

More than a dozen ministers stood on a hillside, staring blankly at the ruins in front of them. None of them expected that Shengle City, the former capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, would become like this, desolate and dilapidated, and the weeds grew taller than people. From time to time, we could see weasels and worms appearing on the collapsed broken walls.

Their interest in You Xing was already swept away by the dilapidated city. Su Wei shook his head and sighed slightly: "Tuoba Gui's advance and Erzhu Rong's retreat have already destined the decline of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Those who only understand martial arts but do not know about literature will surely perish."

"What a great thing about Tuoba Gui's advance and Erzhu Rong's retreat, Su Xiang can be said to be at the root of his words." Niu Hong stroked his beard and smiled.

Su Wei pointed to the Great Wall in the distance, "Looking at the Great Wall again, the Great Wall is so majestic and magnificent, guarding the inside and controlling the outside, this is the guarantee that the Great Sui Dynasty can last for thousands of years."

At this time, Gao Yang, who had been silent, couldn't help but sarcastically, "Su Xiang only saw the glory of the Great Wall. Have you ever seen the 500,000 white bones under the foot of the Great Wall? If the people do not follow him, will they be able to last forever?"

"Gao Xiang's words are wrong!"

The censor Zhang Heng, the censor next to him, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "How can people not die in the construction project? Today, the wise and wise men are built, the Eastern Capital, the canal is dug, the Turks in Bei'an, and the Linyi in Nanping. As for the death of a man, it is normal. People are the servants, what do you think? "

Gao Yang hated Zhang Heng very much. Last year, the emperor went to visit this person's ancestral home in Hedong and ordered more than 100,000 people to dig a mountain and dig a road. No less than 10,000 people died. Finally, he drank a cup of tea and left. This person was not ashamed, but instead showed off everywhere, which was really a treacherous face.

Gao Feng ignored him at all, Zhang Heng hit a nail, and in front of the important officials, he couldn't help but feel angry. Pei Ju smiled and smoothed out: "This Shengle City is so desolate and has no place to go. Why don't you go back and have a sleep and cheer up and deal with the court affairs? What do you think?"

Everyone was really not interested, and agreed, so they turned their horse's head and headed towards the camp. Zhang Heng stared at Gao Feng's back, and a trace of vicious resentment ejaculated in his eyes.

It was getting to the evening, and Yulin County was far inferior to Wuyuan County. There were originally 10,000 or 20,000 immigrants, but more than half of them died in the Great Wall last year. At this time, the population was less than 10,000, and the main garrison was garrison. It was impossible to afford the food offered by hundreds of thousands of troops. On the contrary, when the Khan of Qimin heard that the Emperor of Sui was on the Northern Trip, he sent people to send hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep to solve the food problem of the Northern Trip.

The supper was ready, and teams of soldiers were delivering meals to various tents. In the city, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui also used dinner in the imperial study. Although his dinner was not frugal, it was not luxurious. More than twenty dishes were placed on the table, and Yang Guang didn't have much food. He only tasted a little of each dish, and he gave the eunuchs around him.

While drinking, he looked through the Fenyang Palace picture album that Yuwen Kai had just sent. He was determined to build a palace near the outside of the border. From last year to this year, he had been looking for a place that he was satisfied with. Finally, in Tianchi, the source of the Fen River, he found a place that looked like a god-like practice, with clouds and mists and excellent scenery.

This year he came to Lingwudao again. Although he also found several beautiful places, they were not as good as Tianchi at the source of the Fen River. He decided to build Fenyang Palace in Tianchi, which is located in the north of Loufan County and close to Mayi County, and there is no problem with safety.

Yuwen Kai has already sent the picture album, which means that construction can be started. It just so happened that the prefect of Loufan County was Li Yuan. This person has participated in the renovation of Jinyang Palace and has some experience, so he can be appointed as the palace supervisor.

While thinking, an official reported at the door, "Your Majesty, Censor Zhang urgently asked for a meeting and said he wanted to impeach Gao Huang."

Yang Guang hated disturbances the most during the meal, but the four words "impeach Gao Yingxian" made him feel moved and he nodded, "Please give him a visit!"

"Your Majesty has an order to announce the meeting with the Censor Zhang Heng!"

After a moment, Zhang Heng was brought in by the eunuch. He knelt down and saluted, "My minister Zhang Heng will meet your Majesty!"

"Chief Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Heng raised a memorial high, "My minister Zhang Heng impeached Gao Feng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. This man deceived the emperor and missed the emperor, and compared Your Majesty to a violent Qin!"
