Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 112
Hulu Xiaoqing's contribution to pass on the national jade seal, just this one credit is enough for the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to protect their prosperity throughout their lives.

Of course, Yang Jian would also thank the other party. After all, the Chuanguo Yuxi represents the orthodoxy of China and is an important weapon of the country. The emperor who does not have the Chuanguo Yuxi is called the Baiban Emperor, and will be considered unorthodox by the world.

When Yang Jian was discussing with his ministers to attack Chen, he asked everyone: What is the winning rate?
Gao Jiong stood up and said that it must be 100%, because having the Jade Seal of Chuanguo means that the imperial power is granted by heaven and is orthodox and legal.

Yang Jian was overjoyed, and immediately issued an edict as the emperor granted by heaven, listing [-] crimes committed by Chen Shubao, and gathered the power of the whole country to attack Nanchen.

When he was living in the palace, Yang Ming always wanted to take a look at the world's most important treasure with his own eyes, but unfortunately, he didn't know where it was kept.

This jade seal is different from others, it will not be used for leisure, it is more like a symbol, Yang Jian usually stamps memorials or imperial decrees, there are other jade seals, and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo seems to appear only when the imperial power is handed over.

Yang Jian ordered Xue Daoheng, the servant of internal history, to write a condolence letter to express his condolences, and asked the eminent monks of Daxingshan Temple to preside over the Dharma meeting and recite the mantra of passing away for him.

Xue Daoheng is also an ex-official of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He is as famous as the great Confucian Li Delin. He is also a super-learned person. In the east of the river.

Including Yang Guang, many important people went to Hulu Xiaoqing's house today. Huaxia has always paid attention to human relations and sophistication, especially the affairs of red and white. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they will still go there when they have something to do.

Yang Ming had nothing to do, so he went to Jinyang Building again.

Such a day is really boring, two points and one line, very boring, but fortunately, there will be letters from Hedong occasionally, which can be regarded as consolation and pass some time.

Xiao Mahe was still suppressing the bandits, which surprised Yang Ming. Is there such a mess in Hedong?Why doesn't it seem like it can't be suppressed?
Moreover, Xiao Moha actually included some bandits and compiled them into the Palace Trilogy, and the number has expanded to 600. [-] people doesn't sound like a lot, but when they stand in front of you, they are also overwhelming.

Fang Xuanling's letter said that the construction of the palace was going well. As the saying goes, build the walls first and then rebuild the courtyard.

As for Li Jing, he will ask for leave in a month because he is going back to his hometown to get married.

This is the case in the Sui Dynasty. No matter where you work, your own weddings and funerals will be in your hometown, your marriage will be held in your hometown, and you will be buried in your hometown when you die.

For example, Hulu Xiaoqing, after the funeral is over, his son Hulu Liwen will carry the coffin back to his hometown Tai'an (Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Yunnan).

The ancients paid attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots. Regardless of how far Daxing is from Yunnan, Hulu Xiaoqing must go back, otherwise he will be buried in other places, and he will be a lonely ghost, which is not good for future generations.

Yang Ming's hometown was in Hongnong County, but when he died, he was usually buried in his own fief.

As for Zhang Mu, he is now a servant of the Wei family in Anyi.

The Wei family originated in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. This is a family of calligraphers who have made outstanding contributions to Chinese calligraphy and cultivated an outstanding figure who was admired by later calligraphers Gao Shan and hailed as the sage of Chinese calligraphy: Wang Xizhi.

There are six characters on the RMB used by later generations: People's Bank of China. The font of these six characters is the new official script created by Wei.

Yang Ming really couldn't figure out, how did Zhang Muyi, a vulgar martial artist, get into his scholarly family?Isn't this a toad that fell into Huaqing Pool?
The Hedong area is a land of outstanding people, and it is a land of well-dressed families. Among them, the Wenxi Pei family, Jiexian Liu family, and Fenyin Xue family are the most prestigious, followed by Longmen Wang family, Pingyang Jia family, Anyi Wei family and so on.

Yang Ming is a vassal in this place, to be honest, it's not easy to mess around, everyone's face must be taken care of, otherwise these people really dare to bully you.

I dare not deal with you clearly, so why don't you play tricks behind your back?

So, don't look at Yang Ming as a county king, he is not the only one who can decide if he is going to Hedong.

You can scold my ancestors for eighteen generations, that's fine, but you've moved my interests, no way!
Most of Zhang Mu's letters introduced the situation of the local clans and how they were related to each other, so that Yang Ming could know well.

The three largest families in Hedong, the Pei family, the Liu family, and the Xue family, each have a powerful person serving in the court.

The Pei family has Pei Ju, who was an official to the Ministry of Internal History, and Pei Zheng, who has passed away and was the left concubine of the Eastern Palace for Yang Yong.

Among the Liu family, Liu Min was granted the title of Crown Prince and Taibao in the early years of the first emperor because of his wealth. His son Liu Ang was an official worshiped as Luzhou Inspector. Although he was not a senior official, he was even close friends with Emperor Yang Jian.

There is another one, Liu Shu, Minister of the Ministry of War, who is the concubine of the court, married Yang Jian's fifth daughter, Princess Yang Awu of Lanling.

Besides the Xue family, Xue Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, was born in the Xue family in Hedong, and Xue Daoheng, the minister of internal history, was born in the Xue family. In the late Sui Dynasty, Xue Ju, the leader of the rebels, also came from here.

These people are not easy to mess with.

The situation in Hedong is far more complicated than that of Yang Zhao and Yang Hao's fiefs.

Yang Ming had a headache. Being a vassal in this place was enough for him to drink a pot.

After arriving at Jinyang Tower, Yang Ming was quite surprised. What happened today?Why are there so many people here again?
The street outside was even blocked by carriages, and he walked in the last part of the way.

After inquiring about it, I found out that Gao Yue was going to perform again. There were two performances in total, one at noon in the afternoon and one at you in the evening.

The future has already begun, and it is more difficult to deal with the unitary time.

Because there will be a curfew at Xu time, there is only one hour difference between You time and Xu time, and Gao Yue's piano performances are half an hour each.

In other words, there is only half an hour for everyone to go home.

Those who are close like Yang Ming can go back, but those who are far away can only live in Jinyang Building tonight.

My God, the rooms are going to be full tonight.

After entering the restaurant, Yang Ming found that there wasn't even a place to stay. According to the young man, all the tea room boxes had been booked, and the Qingyin Pavilion was crowded with people, and it was impossible to get in.

Yang Ming wondered, what day is today, why did Gao Yue suddenly plan to have two more games?Out of money?Impossible, I'm afraid I didn't even spend a fraction of the money I made last time.

Yang Ming came to his own Jinyang Building, but he had nowhere to go. Fortunately, Yu Wenlan said that Yang Yinjiang had already booked a box on the second floor next to the corridor of Qingyin Pavilion.

For Yang Ming, Yang Yinjiang is his own, so go and rub her box.

The first time he opened the door, Yang Ming almost turned his head and left, but he had already stepped in with one foot, and he couldn't take it back.

"What a coincidence, I met Miss Pei again." Yang Ming walked over awkwardly, found a seat and sat down by himself.

This box is very big, it can hold twelve people, Pei Shuying and her brother are opposite, the window on the north side is open, facing the direction of Qingyin Pavilion, the sound of fufuqin just comes in, very clear.

Today's song is obviously much happier, compared to the last time's sad, just two extremes.

It seems that Gao Yue is in a good mood. It should be because getting along with Chen Shuyi recently has made her a lot happier.

Perhaps Pei Xuanji knew that Yang Guang would be crowned prince in the future, so he no longer had the old hostility towards Yang Ming, and acted very humbly. He took the initiative to take the teapot from the maid and poured tea for Yang Ming.

A piece of pastry on the table remained untouched, Yang Ming felt it was a pity, so he grabbed a piece by himself and ate it by himself.

Both Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying have this problem. Maybe they were born in rich families, they don't know how to save money, and they waste food too much. Every time Yang Ming sees them eating only three or two mouthfuls of food on a table, Yang Ming feels distressed for a while.

But speaking of it, Da Sui's diet is really not good, there are only three kinds of steaming, boiling, and roasting, that is, there is no oil and water, because the level of oil refining is not good.

Ordinary people's homes, even those without iron pots, use clay pots for cooking.

However, over the years, Yang Ming has found a few delicious ones. One is Guoba, which is rice crust made of corn, that is, yellow millet. It is very enjoyable to eat when dipped in some broth.

There is also water basin mutton, or steamed mutton that is mashed and wrapped in steamed pancakes or hummus with a little garlic. It also feels great.

Steamed cakes are cooking cakes, and hu cakes are naan. These are the two main types of pasta in the northern part of the Sui Dynasty.

Seeing that Yang Ming had been eating, Pei Shuying politely didn't disturb her until Yang Ming wiped her mouth before saying:

"The crown prince wanted to marry me to Yang Yun, king of Ancheng, but my father refused."

Yang Jun?Yang Ming pouted, what else could he say? If it was the past, even a year ago, how dare Pei Ju refuse?

But now the form is not as good as others, Yang Yong is afraid that he also wants to make a final struggle to win over Pei Ju, but unfortunately, Pei Ju doesn't like it anymore.

It can be seen from this that Yang Yong is now at an absolute disadvantage, and there will be any chance of a comeback.

Ancheng Wang Yangjun is the third son of Yun Zhaoxun and has not yet married a wife. He will die in exile just like his two elder brothers Changning Wang Yangyan and Pingyuan Wang Yangyu.

Seeing that Yang Ming didn't respond, Pei Shuying frowned and said, "Why don't you speak?"

"Huh? This is Miss Pei's private matter, so I don't want to comment," Yang Ming said.

Pei Shuying said again: "I heard that you haven't seen Dugu Feng'er until now?"

Yang Ming nodded.

"Don't you want to meet?" Pei Shuying asked curiously.

Yang Ming was stunned and said, "Do you have a solution?"

"How can I do it?" Pei Shuying said with a smile: "Shouldn't you be the one to figure out a way for your own future concubine?"

Yang Ming smiled and said, "It's the same sooner or later, and she can't run away."

Pei Shuying was speechless. She was enjoying the piano art here, but Yang Ming came and interrupted her mood. Let's find a topic to chat with the other party for a while, he always blocks the topic.

This man is so boring.

It so happened that at this time, the door of the box was opened from the outside, and Chen Shuyi unexpectedly came.

Yang Ming hadn't seen her for so long, and when he saw her for the first time suddenly, he felt like reuniting after a long absence, so he didn't care about the courtesy of master and servant, and pointed to the seat beside him, motioning her to sit down.

And Pei Xuanji, who was lying at the window looking in the direction of Qingyin Pavilion, quietly moved back to his seat from the window after seeing Chen Shuyi, sneaking a peek from time to time.
