On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 263 Building a palace

"Fight!"

Dugu Jialuo sternly said:
"If you want to compete with Sui Difa for the heir, only by seizing the crown prince can you and Zhao'er's lives be saved."

Yang Guang said in frustration:

"The position of the crown prince is the foundation of the country and cannot be easily shaken. Moreover, the order of the elders and the younger is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"The prince has high-level support, and his party members are all over the government and the opposition.

"The dignitaries in the court, the sons and daughters are only friendly with Zicheng, but Zicheng also keeps his filial piety at home.

"The son himself is far away in Yangzhou, how can he compete with the prince."

Dugu Jialuo caressed Yang Guang's head, with determination in his eyes:

"You don't need to worry about this, my mother, but I still have a breath, and I will look up for you in the court.

"Yang Su, Duke of Yue, won the favor of your father and emperor, and has never had any contact with Donggong, so his mother will win you over for you.

"The son-in-law's filial piety expires, and my mother will urge your father to enlist him into the court.

"Besides, your father has been dissatisfied with the East Palace for a long time. What you have to do is to protect yourself and don't be assassinated by Sui Difa!"

Dugu Jialuo didn't know that Yang Su had been secretly taking refuge in Yang Guang after being persuaded by Cui Che.

The tears that Yang Guang had managed to stop, flowed down once again:
"The queen mother loves so much, and how can the son and minister repay her."

Dugu Jialuo wiped away tears for Yang Guang, and sighed:
"I don't ask for anything in return for my mother, I only hope that you will inherit the great line in the future and be able to love brothers and sisters.

"Although Sui Difa is sinister and ruthless, he was also born in ten months of my pregnancy, and he is your own elder brother.

"He is ruthless, you can't be unrighteous, you will imprison him in the future, don't take his life."

Yang Guang kowtowed and said:
"My parents taught my sons and ministers that brothers should live in harmony. I and the prince are of the same mother. If the prince hadn't forced me, the sons and ministers would never dare to fight with my elder brother.

"Please don't worry, Empress Mother, my son will definitely take good care of my elder brother, and will never do anything like fratricide."

Dugu Jialuo was greatly relieved when he heard the words.

After bidding farewell to his mother, Yang Guang left the Queen's bedroom with a sad look on his face.

When he went to the side hall, only Yang Jian was left in the hall.

Yang Jian was not surprised that Yang Guang's eyes were red and swollen. In the past, every time we parted, Yang Guang would cry until his heart broke.

"Ah Cheng, you did a good job in Yangzhou before, and you can't relax when you go back this time."

When Yang Guang heard the words, he bowed and said yes.

Yang Jian saw tears welling up in the circles of Yang Guang's eyes again, and wanted to reprimand him for being such a good man, but he actually cried, but when he thought that this was the expression of his son's true feelings when he parted from his parents, he softened his heart.

Undoubtedly, what Yang Jian is most satisfied with is this second son, who not only practices strict economy, but also restrains his cronies, treats courtiers respectfully, and has extremely humble etiquette.

Looking at the back of Yang Guang leaving, Yang Jian said silently to himself:
"If Ah Cheng is the eldest son, how can there be so many disturbances."

Yang Guang returned to Jinwang Mansion and left Daxing with only his daughter Guanyin, his maidservant, for Yangzhou.

Concubine Jin gave birth to a daughter for Yang Guang before, but she died unfortunately. Now the couple have two sons and one daughter, at least for now, they are still the same as Yang Jian and his wife, without any other blood.

The eldest son Yang Zhao, king of Henan, left his parents when he was born and was adopted by Yang Jian and his wife. He was ten years old at the same age as the Bodhisattva slave.

The second son, Yang Hao, was nine years old at the time and had not yet been canonized. Although he was not as favored as his elder brother Yang Zhao, he was still far from the blood of those concubines in the Eastern Palace.

Both stayed in Daxing to serve Yang Jian and his wife instead of their father Yang Guang.

After Yang Guang left Daxing, Dugu Jialuo met Yang Su and talked to him about the abolition of Li, hoping that he could help King Jin.

How could Yang Su refuse? From then on, he no longer just put eye drops on Yang Yong overtly and secretly, but directly slandered Yang Yong to Yang Jian.

However, Yang Yong himself did not live up to expectations, and repeatedly disappointed Yang Jian, so he firmly believed in what Yang Su said.

In the 13th year of Kaihuang (593 A.D.), on the 21st day of the first lunar month, Yang Jian drove around Qizhou. The main purpose of this trip was to personally select a site for the palace as a summer escape.

As the weather warmed up and gradually climbed up, Daxing City was extremely hot in midsummer, which made Yang Jian want to build another palace.

After all, the sages of the Sui Dynasty spent their entire lives in simplicity and frugality, so what's wrong with building a palace to enjoy themselves.

After arriving in Qizhou, Yang Jian selected the site, and Yang Jian immediately issued an edict to build a palace in the north of Qizhou, and Yang Su, the right servant of Shangshu, supervised the construction, but the specific design and construction were all handed over to Yu Wenkai, the former governor of Laizhou.

Yu Wenkai once served as governor of Laizhou when Cui Che was the governor of Qingzhou, but because his elder brother Yu Wenxin joined forces with Liang Shiyan and Liu Fang to plot a rebellion, he was affected and was dismissed from office and has been out of work until now.

Since he successively designed and presided over the palace cities such as Daxing City and Guangtong Canal, which were well received, there was naturally no second choice for the construction of the palace this time.

Yu Wenkai was appointed as a master craftsman. At the same time, Yang Su recommended his cousin's husband and son-in-law to join the army and appointed Deyi as civil supervisor to assist Yu Wenkai in building the palace.

For this palace, Yang Jian already had a name in mind, and planned to call it Renshou Palace.

Yu Wenkai has been sitting on the bench for many years, now that he finally got the opportunity, he is even more attentive.

According to his thinking, today's sages are famous for their frugality, they don't like luxury, and they don't plan to rely on magnificence and splendor.

Only after Yang Su's persuasion, after all, a majestic palace complex was designed and built for Yang Jian.

Of course, these are things to follow.

On the third day of February in the 13th year of Emperor Kaihuang (593 A.D.), Yang Lihua and his party finally arrived in Anping.

Cui Che, who came to meet his wife, was really surprised when he saw the two nuns walking out of the carriage.

Hearing that Yang Lihua was going to find a nunnery for Chen Yueyi and Yuan Leshang to practice, Cui Che suggested:
"Why don't you build a nunnery just outside the city, close to the manor, for two people to clean up without being disturbed by others, otherwise it will be very inconvenient for pilgrims to come and go."

After Yang Lihua thought about it, she felt that Cui Che's words were not unreasonable, she asked Chen Yueyi and Yuan Leshang, and seeing that they had no objections, she readily agreed.

As for the erratic eyes of Chen Yueyi and Yuan Leshang, Yang Lihua also thought it was because they had just arrived in Anping and were looking around curiously.

Naturally, Yang Lihua would not interfere with the construction of the nunnery, and handed everything over to Cui Che to arrange. The two daughters also temporarily lived in a separate courtyard in the manor, as a shelter, and moved in after the nunnery was repaired.

After Cui Che took over the matter, he turned around and handed over the whole project to Fang Xuanling's supervisor. Before breaking the ground, Cui Che purposely whispered a few words to him.

Fang Xuanling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but followed Cui Che's orders.

When Chen Yueyi and Yuan Leshang lived in Cui's mansion, Cui Che was very well-behaved. They never stepped into the other courtyard where they lived, and they didn't even care about the second daughter, which made Yang Lihua let go of his wariness.

　After finishing one chapter with a yawn, I really want to go to bed. Today is still four chapters.
