At night, Yang Yuanqing returned to the dormitory from the study room, scalded his feet with boiling water to prepare for rest. He glanced at him and suddenly found the ivory box on the table. He was stunned. He took the box and opened it. It was the pair of bracelets he bought for his aunt during the day.

"This is taken by my uncle. He refused to take it anyway. He said it was too expensive and he couldn't afford it."

Pei Minqiu walked out of the inner room, combed her long hair, and explained to her husband: "Last month, Zhangguan Gao also showed me this pair of bracelets, asking for 1.5 million yuan, saying that it was leaked from the palace. I originally wanted to buy it for your aunt, but Chuchen said that he would wait until his mother came, so I had to ask Zhangguan Gao to keep it for me for the time being, but I didn't expect that you would buy it back. It seems that I am really destined to do it."

Yang Yuanqing frowned, and his uncle refused to ask for it. This was a bit difficult. Pei Minqiu picked up the bracelet from the box, looked at it carefully for a while, and said to Yang Yuanqing: "I asked Fangxin in the afternoon. This is indeed something in the palace, Queen Dugu's beloved thing, and one of her three jewelry pieces that were not buried with her. The late emperor stayed for a souvenir, and somehow it was spread. This is a priceless treasure."

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a while and asked, "Does my uncle know this is Queen Dugu's bracelet?"

"He knew, I told him in the afternoon."

Yang Yuanqing was silent. He knew why his uncle wanted it. It was his wife who put pressure on him and told him that this was Queen Dugu’s bracelet. Do he still dare to ask for it?

Yang Yuanqing sighed in his heart, "You can't blame your wife for this, you can only say it's too coincidental. The thing she planned to give to her aunt was bought and given to her aunt by herself. This made it difficult for her to be a human being. She didn't hide it and told herself frankly. This is a kind of trust between husband and wife.

Seeing that her husband had already understood what she meant, Pei Minqiu squatted down and held her hand and apologized: "Husband, I am really sorry for this matter. I shouldn't have told my uncle that this is Queen Dugu's bracelet. It's my fault that my uncle refuses to ask for the bracelet."

Yang Yuanqing gently stroked his wife's smooth forehead and laughed softly, "If you want to blame him, blame the shopkeeper Gao. He sold the things you asked him to collect, but he sold them to me. This is clearly a provocation to the relationship between us and our wife. I will settle the score with him tomorrow."

Pei Minqiu waved his hands repeatedly, "This has nothing to do with Manager Gao. He is determined to please you. Don't blame him. It's because I'm too young. I will give the bracelet to my uncle tomorrow. If he doesn't want it, I will send someone to give it to my aunt."

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "Forget it, my uncle refuses to ask for it. I don't think it's because of your pressure. Queen Dugu's things are lucky, and holding them may not be a good thing. I can understand my uncle's worries. Moreover, my aunt cannot wear this pair of bracelets. The items of Queen of the Great Sui can only be passed on to the new Queen of the Great Sui."

Yang Yuanqing took his wife's hand, put two bracelets on his wife, and smiled and said, "Even if I give it to you, next year will be our tenth year of marriage. This is my gift. For my aunt, you can buy two other pieces of jewelry for me and buy four long-lived locks. Each of my uncle's four grandsons will be one."

Pei Minqiu buried her face deep into her husband's arms, and she was both happy and moved. Although her husband was already the King of Chu, he still remembered that he had been married to him for almost ten years.

The next morning, Cheng Yaojin came to Jinyang Palace. This was his first time to come to Jinyang Palace. He didn't know the way, so he temporarily arrested an old eunuch who left the palace to do business to lead the way. He looked around and couldn't help but grin and said, "This Jinyang Palace is good. When I become the emperor one day, I will build such a palace to enjoy it."

The old eunuch who led the way in front of him turned green. Where did he come from? He actually wanted to be the emperor.

"This general, you can't speak nonsense, you have to be beheaded."

"Well! You old eunuch, no wonder there are no birds below you. You think the manager will take my words to heart. He just thinks I am farting. To be honest, even if I really let me be the emperor, I wouldn't want to! Of course, I wouldn't want to cut birds and be the eunuch."

The old eunuch has been a eunuch in the Northern Zhou Palace since he was eight years old. He has been a eunuch for forty years and has never seen such a rude person. He was so angry that his face turned from green to white, his gloomy face did not say a word, and took him to Ziwei Pavilion, "This is Ziwei Pavilion, you can go in by yourself!"

The old eunuch glared at him fiercely, turned around and left. Cheng Yaojin looked at his back and shook his head. He couldn't afford to make a joke at all. How did he get through this life?

He turned around and walked to the gate of Ziwei Pavilion and bowed to the guards, "He is the general Cheng Yaojin of Xiaya, come in and see you on the order of General Manager Yang. Please report to me."

Yang Yuanqing was sitting in the official room to handle court affairs, standing next to him was Pei Qingsong, a new member of the Record Office. He was Tanhua, a new Jinshi. Although his talkative triggered a large parade of more than 20,000 scholars, Yang Yuanqing did not let him be convicted for his words. Instead, he admired his superiority to ordinary people's vision and specially promoted him to join the Record Office to replace Shen Chun, who went to Dunhuang County.

Yang Yuanqing handed him several approved memorials and ordered: "These can be transferred to the Inner History and the Ministry of Works Minister Li Chun's request to build a ferry bridge in Yan'an."

Pei Qingsong walked out of the room and quickly took a memorial and handed it to Yang Yuanqing, "Master, is this the one?"

Yang Yuanqing took it and looked at it, "It's it, I'll take a good look, you go down first!"

Pei Qingsong bowed and retreated. Yang Yuanqing was very interested in Li Chun's suggestion. Because the court wanted to use the Yellow River water transportation, building a floating bridge would hinder water transportation, so he never advocated the construction of a floating bridge. However, Li Chun suggested using iron chains to repair the floating bridge boat first, and then using the method of pile driving in the dry season in winter to build a wooden bridge in the river that lasts dozens of steps. The boat can pass under the wooden bridge without affecting the water transportation. This will save the hardship of ferries between Yan'an County and Lishi County and can travel very conveniently.

Li Chun mainly considered to facilitate exchanges between the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, but what Yang Yuanqing saw was its strategic value. A floating bridge would connect Yan'an County and Lishi County. If there was something wrong with Yan'an County, the Sui army of Lishi County could support it as quickly as possible and could build a few more floating bridges. Then the six counties in Guanbei could be connected with Hedong. This would have great strategic significance for the Northern Sui control of the six counties in Guanbei, and it would not affect the water transportation. Yang Yuanqing was very excited. He raised his pen and criticized: "Appoint Ziwei Pavilion to discuss this matter immediately."

He put down his pen and a guard outside the door reported, "Report to the general manager, General Cheng, who asked for a visit."

"Let him in!"

Yang Yuanqing put the memorial on the bridge to the side, and he had another major event now.

After a moment, Cheng Yaojin quickly walked into the official room. Although he was careless in front of others, he never dared to be rude in front of Yang Yuan. He stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and said, "I will meet the general manager!"

"Get up!"

Cheng Yaojin stood up, Yang Yuanqing looked at him with a smile and asked, "What did that person do yesterday? Was he beat him up or break one of his legs?"

Cheng Yaojin blushed and scratched his head and said, "After all, he is a cousin. He admitted that he had not been imprisoned, so my wife spared him. He gave him two hundred yuan to hang up money and asked him to send a letter back."

Yang Yuanqing laughed in silence and said, "I found that for you, your wife is more effective than me."

Cheng Yaojin knew that Yang Yuanqing was teasing him, so he could only smile bitterly, "Aren't she just afraid of being upset? She coaxed my mother around. Every time I say something to her, my mother would scold me. Moreover, she was pregnant, so I hope she gave birth to a son for me, and I was too lazy to argue with her."

Yang Yuanqing nodded. "I am also very happy to see your changes. I told the princess last night to ask her to care more about your wife and mother and make her suffer any difficulties. Even if you tell the princess, she will definitely help her solve it."

Cheng Yaojin was moved and bowed and said, "Thank you, the general manager for your concern!"

"Okay! When will you go back?" Yang Yuanqing asked.

"The last general asked General Qin for five days off. The matter has been resolved and he plans to go back tomorrow."

"Come with me, I have a task to you."

Yang Yuanqing stood up and walked towards the next battle room. Cheng Yaojin followed him and found that there was a sand table in the room, two meters wide and two meters long, exactly the same as the sand table on the Central Army's large tent.

Yang Yuanqing's expression was very serious. He picked up the wooden pole and looked at Cheng Yaojin and said, "What I told you now is related to whether our Hebei Battle will be successful in the end. So listen carefully to me, don't laugh, otherwise you will lose your head."

Even if the old eunuch told Cheng Yaojin that he would be beheaded ten thousand times, he would not take it any more. However, Yang Yuanqing only told him once, and he remembered that his black face was so tense that it was covered with a hint of careless smile on his face. His eyes were extremely keenly staring at Yang Yuanqing's wooden pole, and his ears were straight.

Yang Yuanqing pointed at Lingqiu County with a wooden pole, "Now you and General Qin's 20,000 cavalry troops are stationed in Lingqiu County. I'll ask you, what are you doing now?"

Cheng Yaojin thought for a while and said carefully: "I am training and waiting for the order to attack Shanggu County."

"Very good. Do you know when to attack Shanggu County?" Yang Yuanqing asked, staring at the eyes.

Cheng Yaojin bit his lip and dared not say it. Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "You can tell the truth, I won't blame you."

"Yes! At the end, I will hear that it will be next spring, and all my brothers know that it will be next spring."

"That's true. What I told the prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall was next spring. Even Li Yuan and other important officials of the Tang Dynasty knew that he would fight Hebei next spring. I mentioned this in the settlement agreement signed with the Tang Dynasty. I think Hebei should know it too, but I want to tell you clearly that it is just my strategy to repair the plank road in Ming Dynasty. The battle in Hebei will not be launched until next spring, but will start now!"

Yang Yuanqing laughed and stared at him and said, "Do you understand?"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes showed shock and stuttered: "What the general manager means is that all the news about attacking Hebei next spring is fake, is it to confuse the enemy?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "That's right, now only you and me know this top secret news. What do you think?"

"The last general...the last general will sew his mouth up and will never tell his wife."

Yang Yuanqing laughed loudly, he patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "You don't have the chance to tell your wife. If you leave Jinyang Palace, you will go back to Yanmen County directly. Time no longer allows you to set off tomorrow."

"The most general understands, the most general will leave immediately."

"Okay! Let me tell you the task you and General Qin want to complete. This task is related to the success or failure of the entire Hebei Battle."
