Chapter 39: Two women first meet

On the 24th day of the 12th lunar month, facing the heavy snow, Yang Yuanqing and his group returned to the capital. They walked on Jiangling Road. Yang Yuanqing paid homage to his mother and immediately turned north and finally rushed back to the capital before the New Year.

Chuchen sat in the carriage with his child in his arms, and his daughter Bing'er slept sweetly in her mother's arms. Her pink face was dyed with a layer of redness. Looking at the gray sky, the snow was flying all over the sky, covering the road and the roof. Every road that was rushing, a thick layer of snow was covered with thick snowflakes on her body.

Her mood was as messy as the heavy snow. She didn't want to see Yuan Qing's wife. She wanted to leave several times on the road, but the little baby in her arms made her unable to leave in the end. She didn't want to put a hat of an illegitimate daughter on her daughter, and she also hoped that her daughter could get what she had never gotten and the love of her father.

It was this little man in his arms who returned to the capital with Yang Yuanqing in a grievance.

After entering the capital, as the censor, the first thing Yang Yuanqing had to do was to report his duties in the face of the priest. He could not go home. This was the rule in the court, and he was still in official duties now.

Yang Yuanqing urged the horse to come to the carriage, bowed to Qianchen in the window and smiled: "I want to go to the Saint to serve, so you can go back first! I'll ask a few iron guards to take you back."

Chuchen was shocked. Do you want to see that woman alone? "Yuanqing, how much time does it take for you to meet the saint? I'll wait for you for a while."

"It's okay. I've already written a letter to go home in Jiangdu. Minqiu knew you were coming, so she should have packed it up. Chuchen, go back! You have to face it anyway."

Chuchen nodded silently, but she no longer insisted.

Yang Yuanqing turned the carriage and said to several iron guards: "You guards' second wife will return home, I will go to meet the saint, and I will come back by myself later."

Several iron guards bowed to receive the order, and Yang Yuanqing whipped the war horse and galloped towards the palace.

Dozens of soldiers guarded the carriage and walked a long way. The carriage turned around and entered Chongyefang. Yang Yuanqing's mansion was located in the middle of Chongyefang, not far from the gate. At this time, Pei Minqiu had already received a first notice from Yang Balang and was waiting at the door with dozens of maids and women.

"Madam, here you come!"

Green Tea had sharp eyes and saw a carriage from afar, driving towards this side in the snow.

Pei Minqiu immediately turned around and told all the maids and mothers: "This is the second wife, so you are not allowed to be rude. Whoever dares to be rude, will you be driven out of the mansion immediately!"

The maids and the old men hurriedly nodded in agreement. At this time, the carriage had reached the stairs. A guard opened the car door. Chuchen held the child with one hand and the door handle with the other, and walked out of the carriage carefully. Minqiu pushed Green Tea gently, and Green Tea quickly ran down the stairs with an umbrella and supported Chuchen.

"Second Madam, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

When Chuchen saw a familiar person, she calmed down and smiled, "It's exactly two years."

At this time, with the support of a maid, Minqiu went down the steps and greeted him with a smile. Yingying gave a gift, "Minqiu has met Sister Chuchen!"

This is the first time that Chuchen saw Pei Minqiu. Seeing her beautiful appearance and elegant dress, she had a unique temperament in every move. Chuchen couldn't help but secretly exclaim, "I am a lady from a noble family, and it is indeed worthy of her reputation."

She also smiled and said, "Just call me out of the world!"

Chuchen knew in his heart that although she was older than Minqiu, Minqiu was the eldest wife. Minqiu called her sister. This was a very low attitude, and she deliberately respected herself. Chuchen felt a little fond of Minqiu.

Pei Minqiu saw that Chuchen was elegant and beautiful, and she was just like her name. She knew that Chuchen was actually from a famous family in the Shen family in Jiangnan. She was not an ordinary commoner daughter. She didn't look down on her. She looked at the child in Chuchen's hands and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Is the little guy asleep?"

"Um!"

Chuchen handed her daughter, "Come and hug her!"

"Can I?"

Pei Minqiu smiled and took the child carefully, then took the corner of the veil scarf, and took a look quietly. Seeing that the child was so cute and cute, she sighed in her heart that this was her husband's eldest daughter, but unfortunately she was not her own child.

Holding the child, this wonderful feeling also awakened Minqiu's motherhood. She gradually fell in love with the little love in her arms and smiled and said, "What a beautiful little beauty, don't wake her up."

When Chuchen saw Minqiu praising her daughter, she felt a little more affection for Minqiu and a smile appeared on her face, "She should wake up all the time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the child in Minqiu's arms immediately started to cry. Minqiu was immediately panicked, "She woke up!"

"It's okay, give it to me!"

Chuchen took her daughter, hugged her in her arms and coaxed her gently, but Bing'er cried constantly, and her voice was loud. Chuchen smiled and said, "You will know that she is hungry when you hear her fierce crying."

Minqiu hurriedly said, "I prepared buttermilk, but it's still hot now!"

Southerners do not drink butterfly, and they are afraid that their daughters will not get used to it. They are somewhat embarrassed: "Do you have rice porridge?"

"Yes! I made a can of rice porridge with the best Huzhou Mite, because I was afraid that the little guy wouldn't get used to butterfly."

She quickly ordered the maid, "Go and get rice porridge quickly and in my west wing."

Minqiu smiled again and said, "I specially cleaned up a yard for you. The room is very warm. Let's go and talk to the room!"

It was precisely because of the common language of children that Minqiu and Chuchen had the embarrassment of the first meeting between them, and the maids and mothers surrounded them into the mansion.

The snow was still rising from the ground. In Xuanzheng Hall Square, hundreds of eunuchs were cleaning the thin layer of snow that had just accumulated. Yang Yuanqing stood under the steps and patiently waited for the summoning of Emperor Yang Guang.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came from the corridor of the side hall. Yang Yuanqing turned around and saw an official coming hurriedly. A pillar blocked his face. Yang Yuanqing only saw a purple goldfish bag, which was at least a third-rank high-ranking official.

Soon, the official walked out of the corridor. Yang Yuanqing was slightly stunned. It turned out to be Li Yuan. Did Li Yuan be promoted from the junior supervisor of the fourth-rank hall?

Li Yuan was full of red face and was full of energy. It was obvious that he had just received good news from the Saint. At this time, Li Yuan also saw Yang Yuanqing. He immediately walked up with a smile on his face, and bowed from a distance: "General Yang, it's been a long time since we saw each other!"

Yang Yuanqing eliminated Zhang Jin, and Li Yuan was the biggest indirect beneficiary. In order to maintain the balance between the Guanlong nobles and fill the gap in Zhang Jin, Yang Guang promoted Li Yuan to a Dali Temple Minister and officially promoted Li Yuan to a third-rank high-ranking official, which officially entered the ranks of high-ranking officials.

This made Li Yuan extremely happy. He never expected that the result of the last cruel struggle in the officialdom was that Li Yuan would make a profit.

Just now, Li Yuan was in a good mood when he was facing the saint. He knew that Li Yuan had many children and his family was not very rich, so he rewarded him with a farm located west of Chang'an and close to the Wei River. This was Zhang Jin's farm, covering an area of ​​thousands of acres, which made Li Yuan get promoted and rich, and he was happy.

So when he saw Yang Yuanqing, his smile became much brighter. If Yang Yuanqing hadn't defeated Zhang Jin, how could he have gained such a great achievement?

Yang Yuanqing learned halfway through the way that he had been named General of Zuo Xiaogu, replaced Zhang Jin's former position and promoted him to Duke of County.

Seeing Li Yuan’s face full of glory, he replied with a smile: “Is Li Shaoqing promoted?”

"I am promoted a little by little by the emperor's love, and now I am the Minister of Dali Temple."

Li Yuan smiled and waved his hands repeatedly, "The official position is low and the job is not worth mentioning. I laugh at you! I laugh at you!"

"Then I should call Li Siqing, congratulations!"

The two of them exchanged a few greetings, and at this time, the guards came from afar and shouted: "The emperor has an order, Yang Yuanqing, the general of Xuanzuo Guard, met with him!"

"Li Siqing, the emperor promised me to meet you. I will visit you again another day!"

"Okay, I will prepare a small amount of wine and wait for General Yang to come to visit us and let us share our friendship with the past."

Li Yuangong bowed and left. Yang Yuanqing looked at his back. He had to admire Li Yuan's deep scheming and stabbed himself in his back. It was as if nothing had happened now. His smile was so friendly and his tone was sincere. He had no sense of falsehood. He also wanted to share his old friendship. It really corresponded to the old saying that there were no eternal enemies or eternal allies in the officialdom. All he had was the intersection of interests.

Yang Yuanqing shook his head and turned around and walked towards the Imperial Study Room.

The imperial study room was as warm as spring. The Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty had just met Li Yuan and was preparing to review the memorials. In fact, Yang Guang had just returned ten days ago. He went to Hengshan to worship the sky. He had been ascending the throne for nearly five years, but he had been in the capital for less than a year, and he spent most of his time patrolling all over the world.

As the New Year approaches, Yang Guang's mood is also very comfortable. He just received a report that heavy snow fell in the counties south of the Yellow River, which had been drought for two consecutive years, effectively alleviating the winter drought and making the summer grain harvest next year look forward to. This is the result of his sacrifice to heaven and God's affirmation of him.

Yang Guang was even more in a good mood, and the removal of Yuanshou and Zhang Jin caused serious internal strife within the Guanlong nobles. The Yuan and Dugu factions were incompatible, forcing the Guanlong nobles to choose to take sides. The Guanlong nobles began to split. This was something that Yang Guang had been looking forward to.

Before his death, his father told him that the three major hidden dangers of the Sui Dynasty were the most threats of the Guanlong nobles. Therefore, completely eliminating the Xianbei nobles and restoring the orthodox Han family was a major event that Yang Guang had been dealing with for several years.

His method was to eliminate, balance, eradicate, and balance again, but the balance became smaller and smaller. In the end, the Guanlong nobles were divided into pieces and their power was weak in the court, which was when he began to solve the military power of the Guanlong nobles.

After the Guanlong nobles suffered a severe blow, Yang Guang had to start considering ways to solve their military power and had to find the best opportunity and excuse. He knew that he could not be too hasty, so he set a three-year deadline for himself.

"Your Majesty, Yang Yuanqing has announced that he will be here to see you."

Yang Guang nodded, "Send him in!"

After a moment, Yang Yuan hurried in and bowed to salute, "My minister Yang Yuanqing met His Majesty the Emperor, I wish His Majesty a long live His Majesty!"

"General Yang is exempted from giving a gift and calm!"

Yang Guang looked at his confidant general and nodded with satisfaction. Yang Yuanqing did not disappoint him. On a trip to Jiangdu, he successfully eliminated Zhang Jin. Today, he would like to commend Yang Yuanqing.
