Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

I don’t know if it’s because Lu Taiyi has a big tongue and Yang Guang didn’t hear clearly, so he misunderstood"six generations and five masters" as"six gods and no masters", but the four words"mother’s rites for the world" were really heard. Since Yang Guang became an official , eager to make meritorious deeds, this phrase"mother honors the world" suddenly made me feel arrogant.

Yang Guang said:"My husband and I will be extremely valuable one day. We will be the mother of the world. My husband's kindness will never be forgotten!" The host and guest were complimenting each other and greeting each other. At this time, Yu Jie came in and said,"Young master and madam, lunch is ready. Okay." Come in." Yang Guang said to Lu Taiyi,"Sir, please come."

An entourage brought wine and food, and everyone had their meal at noon. During the conversation, Yang Guang felt that what Lu Taiyi said was a bit mysterious, so he wanted to invite his companions, but Lu Taiyi repeatedly declined.

After the meal, Yang Guang said to Lu Taiyi:"Sir, you are elegant and well-versed in physiognomy. I sincerely invite you to come to the capital together. I will definitely recommend him to serve as an official in the court. Wouldn't it be wonderful?""

"Lu Taiyi said:"Thank you for your kindness, sir. The days are long and we will see each other again sooner or later."

Yang Guang asked:"Where will we meet again?"

"This is a heavenly secret. Even if the young master does not invite me, there will be someone who will invite me to the capital."

When Yang Guang saw Lu Taiyi's refusal in every possible way, he was no longer embarrassed, so he and Xiao Jun got into the car and drove away from Panlin Stream to the capital. As the car drove forward, Yang Guang and Xiao Jun were riding in the same car. Yang Guang said:" It's interesting to listen to Mr. Lu talk about everything. He can do calculations and calculations. I didn't expect that you, a person with no master, has the face of a mother who cares about the world."

"When did Mr. Lu say that I had lost my mind? Yang

Guang said with a smile:"I see that you usually plead the grievances of this one and help that one, and you are a little confused.""

"Your Highness is good or bad……"

A young couple, chatting and making trouble, followed the convoy back to the capital....

At sunset, the capital city of Daxing was indeed overthrown. Yang Guang and Xiao Jun did not dare to neglect and went straight to the imperial city to pay homage to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian.

Yang Guang and Xiao Jun came to Ning'an Hall. Yang Jian and Queen Dugu had just had dinner. When they heard that King Jin had returned, the old couple missed them even more.

Yang Guang and Xiao Jun entered the Ning'an Hall and gave a great ceremony. Yang Jian ordered the palace officials to sit down. A family of four sat around and chatted.

Yang Jiandao:"I have learned that my son supervised Bingzhou, fought with the Turks several times, solved the siege of Shuozhou, and recovered Yanmen. He has made outstanding achievements."

Yang Guangdao:"My son is young. Fortunately, all the generals have helped me. Only then did we win. My son and I were puzzled. Why did the Turks quickly retreat and withdraw from the Great Wall overnight when they broke through the passes in Longxi, Youyan and other places? Why did the

Turks quickly retreat from the Great Wall overnight? , internal discord and mutual suspicion led to the defeat. I have ordered Dugu Sheng in Youzhou to rush to the capital to inform the enemy. In addition, I have appointed two of your favorite generals, Yu Ju and Luo Jin, as the marching commander, and Yan Rong was transferred General Manager of Qingzhou."

Yu Juluo deserved the title, but Yang Guang and Xiao Jun were really surprised when they heard that Yan Rong promoted General Manager of Qingzhou. They were about to scold Yan Rong, but Queen Dugu changed the topic and said:"In a few days, On the day after tomorrow, your fourth brother Yang Xiu will be appointed as the general manager of Yizhou and will go to Xichuan. The Ai family has discussed with your father that at noon the day after tomorrow, the royal family will have a reunion dinner together."

Seeing the expression of Empress Dugu's face becoming a little more interesting, Yang Guang and Xiao Jun hurriedly kept their smiles on their faces and said happily:"It's the best arrangement by my mother." Seeing that Yang Jian and Empress Dugu were in high spirits, they did not dare to mention Yan Rong's crimes.......

Two days later, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian and Empress Dugu held a banquet in Ning'an Hall. The banquet was simple and not extravagant. The only people present at the banquet were Yang Jian's children, Crown Princess Yuanshi, and Princess Xiao Jun of Jin Dynasty.

The banquet was divided into two tables, with Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian and Crown Prince Yang Yong, King Yang Guang of Jin, King Yang Jun of Qin, King Yang Xiu of Shu, King Yang Liang of Han, and the prince's two children; the second table was for Queen Dugu and the Crown Princess The Yuan family, Princess Xiao Jun of Jin, Princess Cui of Qin, and several unmarried princesses.

The family gathers together happily and in harmony. Princess Yuan loved makeup and beauty the most. Ever since Xiao Jun married Yang Guang, she had always been jealous of Xiao Jun's beauty. Xiao Jun happened to be next to her during the banquet, so Princess Yuan asked Xiao Jun:"My sister went to Bingzhou with the King of Jin. Wouldn't such a beautiful face be damaged by the wind and sand?"

Xiao Jun said,"Why not? My sister-in-law didn't go. On the day she came to the capital, I met a fortune-teller on the way. The six gods had no master, and they were almost mad at this half-immortal."

Concubine Yuan was a woman who loved divination. When she heard this, she asked:"Who is this half-immortal's surname? I want to figure it out."

Xiao Jun said:"It's called Lu Taiyi lives in seclusion in the forest of Xiakou Mountain, not far to the north of Daxing City."

Concubine Yuan had heard of the famous Lu Taiyi. At this time, divination was popular in various places. In the Sui Dynasty, there were four masters of divination, all of whom were highly civilized.

The first one is named Gao De, whose courtesy name is Youcai. He is a native of the Central Plains. He is best at observing astronomical phenomena and divination. He is a close friend of Prince Yang Yong and serves as the Tianjian in the court.

The second one's name is Wei Ding, whose courtesy name is Chao. Sheng, a native of Jingzhao, was good at measuring eight characters. He was used by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, who was the new governor of Guangzhou; the third was Yang Bochou, a native of Feng Yiwu Township, who specialized in the Five Elements of the Book of Changes, became a Taoist priest and lived in seclusion in Huashan; the fourth was Lu Taiyi , whose courtesy name is Xiezhao, whose original surname is Zhangchou, lives in leisurely life and does not seek fame or fortune. He is well-read and proficient in divination and calendar calculation. He is the best at facial expressions and is praised by the world. He originally lived in seclusion in Bailu Mountain, but because there were so many people asking him for divination and fortune telling, in order to avoid trouble, he went to live in seclusion in a mountain forest north of Daxing.

The Crown Princess Yuanshi learned that Lu Taiyi lived in seclusion in Xiakou Mountain and climbed the forest stream. She secretly wanted to invite this man of god to make a fortune for the prince to see when he could become emperor. Wouldn't it be better, so he decided to live in seclusion. Keep it in mind.

The royal family had a family banquet in the palace. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian was in a rare reunion. He was in a very good mood and seemed to have more to say. Yang Jian said happily:"Now my children are filial, my descendants are full, and the clan is harmonious. It is really better than the life of an immortal."

Empress Dugu said He said:"I heard that the flowers and plants in Xiuchun Garden bloomed early this spring. They say this is auspicious for the country. If your majesty is interested, why not go to Xiuchun Garden to enjoy the flowers and make a poem?"

It happened that Yang Jian had this intention and said:"The Queen said"It's just what I want. I have the prince, princess, princess and grandson accompany me on a tour of Xiuchun Garden."

Early spring arrived, and the weather was particularly cold. The maids and eunuchs nearby brought cloaks to Yang Jian and Queen Dugu, and the royal family followed them. Afterwards, we went to Xiuchun Garden to enjoy the flowers together. Yang Jian said:"The flowers and grass are luxuriant this spring, and the flowers bloom early, which is auspicious. The children should compose poems to entertain them."

Queen Dugu said:"Among the children, the Crown Princess is knowledgeable in poetry and books and has outstanding talents, so let's start first."

The Crown Princess said:"Then my daughter will be embarrassed." Several maids next to her brought pens and ink. Crown Princess Yuanshi paused her pen, meditated for a moment, and wrote on the paper: The lingering winter snow brings autumn frost, and now spring has come to fill the garden. Fang.

I'm waiting in the distance for Yannan to arrive, but I smell the light fragrance of bright flowers.

Yang Jian and Empress Dugu read the poem and praised it repeatedly. Concubine Yuan deliberately pretended to be shy and praised the poem. Concubine Yuan said,"Your Highness, King Qin, is the best at playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why don't you let King Qin also write poems?

" He even said good-bye and brought Qin Wang Yang Jun to the front of the pen and ink. Qin Wang Yang Jun was kind and loving, read scriptures well, and devoted himself to Buddha. However, Yang Jian refused to allow him to become a monk several times despite being asked to become a monk. Yang JunSeeing that it was my turn to compose a poem, without thinking, I picked up my pen and wrote:

Early in the morning, the fragrant grass blooms among the crowds, and I don’t disturb the meditation in the Buddhist hall.

In this floating world, I send lamps to keep the Buddha pure, and only keep loving thoughts in my heart.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, saw that the third prince, Yang Jun, was so devoted to the Buddha and was in high spirits. He did not want to reprimand him face to face, so he said:"The prince is devoted to worshiping the Buddha, and his piety is evident. It can also be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha. Let's see who can write poems." ?"

Crown Princess Yuanshi suddenly thought, she was most jealous of Xiao Jun's beauty, but Xiao Jun was not very knowledgeable, so why not tease her, make a joke, and let everyone make fun of Xiao Jun.

Yuan said:"To my father and mother, since the King of Qin borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha, how about using flowers as a metaphor for war and letting Princess Jin write a frontier fortress poem using flowers and plants?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jun hurriedly waved his hands and said:" My sister-in-law is good at making fun of people, and I haven't read many books, so how can I use flowers and plants to write frontier fortress poems?"

Empress Dugu said with a smile:"The Crown Princess is right, it is indeed difficult for Princess Jin, what do these flowers and plants have to do with the frontier fortress? This question is difficult enough, but Xiao Jun also learned some poetry and calligraphy in the palace, so why not give it a try, it doesn’t matter if you can’t do it well."

Crown Princess Yuanshi joked again:"The half-immortal fortune teller said you have no master. , I think my sister is really lost now." After saying this, everyone laughed. When Xiao Jun saw that the Crown Princess was making things difficult for her, his face turned red with embarrassment, so he agreed to write a frontier poem with flowers and plants as the theme. Xiao Jun picked up the writing brush, pursed his lips, thought about it, and then wrote:

The fragrance inside is fragrant and the outside is yellow, and the strong man sweeps away the frost in the north courtyard.

The fallen flowers and catkins chase the wind and tears, and the pheasant feathers and eagle feathers are put into the quiver.

After Concubine Xiao finished writing, she kept reading silently, for fear of making a joke. Yang Guang knew that Concubine Xiao was most afraid of being asked about her poetry and calligraphy talents by her mother, so she was beating the drum in her heart.

Yang Jian looked at these four lines of poetry from the side and said,"Wonderful, wonderful. Concubine Xiao's four lines of seven words connect the flowers and grass with the frontier fortress. It seems that the trip to Bingzhou by the former vassal is really worthwhile."

Queen Dugu also said He said:"I see that Concubine Xiao has made great progress. Her poetry and calligraphy skills are no less than those of the girls in the palace."

Yang Guang, who had been standing aside, came over and said,"While the children are fighting with the army, Concubine Xiao is alone." Remembering the teachings of my mother, I worked tirelessly and made great progress. I exchanged letters with my eighth brother Xiao Yu on weekdays, and my handwriting became more and more beautiful." When

Empress Dugu heard about Xiao Yu, she asked excitedly:"By the way, Xiao Yu followed you and your wife the year before last. He was only nine years old when he came to Sui Dynasty, and he was still a naughty child. Now he must have grown taller."

Xiao Jun said:"Reporting to my mother, Xiao Yu is talented, smart and studious. He will be eleven years old next month."

"After all, he is also the prince of Liang Kingdom.……"Empress Dugu turned to Yang Jian and said:"Xiao Yu is a member of the family of the mother-in-law. I, the Sui Dynasty, should be aware of the guest's situation. Your Majesty, why don't you give me a reward to avoid outsiders laughing? We, the Yang family, have treated Xiao's family of the mother-in-law so slowly.""

"What you said makes sense." Yang Jian touched his horn beard and said,"I grant Xiao Yu the title of Zuo Qianniu in front of Prince Jin's Mansion. He will accompany Princess Jin in the future, and he can also serve as an official in the Sui Dynasty in the future."

When Jin Wang Yang Guang and Xiao Jun heard this, they both thanked her. When the Crown Princess Yuanshi looked on, she became even more jealous. She wanted to make Xiao Jun look bad, but instead let her take advantage. As soon as the Crown Princess returned In the East Palace, I couldn't vent my anger. I threw and smashed things while holding them. Prince Yang Yong followed behind and advised:"My dear concubine, please don't be so irritable. Once your father and mother know about it, we will be rude.""

"Alas, Concubine Xiao, a stinky beggar, suddenly changed from a white lady to a poet. Look how happy her father and mother are. Xiao Jun really thinks of herself as a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River. She can turn around!"

Prince Yang Yong stroked Concubine Yuan's shoulders from behind and said,"Don't be angry, my dear concubine. The emperor is considering a decisive war against the Turks. He called me into the palace the day before yesterday to assist in political affairs. I will definitely recommend that Yang Guang and Xiao Jun serve in the vassal again."

"oh? Concubine Yuan asked,"Is this true?""

"Of course, you don’t have to spend all day competing for favors from your father and mother."......

In the evening, the royal family members had dispersed, and Queen Dugu and Yang Jian were sitting at the table opposite each other, holding candles and chatting. Queen Dugu was very happy that Xiao Jun composed an impromptu poem today, and said to Yang Jian:"Look at Xiao Jun today. He was originally a poor and miserable man, but now he is writing catchy poems. He has made great progress. There is no one like him in Lengyuan Palace." It's a waste of training."

Yang Jian said:"Many men and women in the royal family are arrogant and extravagant, but Xiao Jun was born in a poor family and lived a simple life. He will definitely inherit the virtues of diligence and thrift in the future."

Queen Dugu said:"Hearing what your majesty said, I really want to be in Jin Dynasty. Let's go and have a look at the palace."

Yang Jian thought that Xiao Jun usually lives a poor life and manages the household. It is not yet known whether he is simple and extravagant in his daily life. It is better to go into the palace and take a look to know whether Xiao Jun is a person who dislikes poverty and loves wealth. He said,"Two days later, I and the queen will visit the Jin Palace in person to see how Concubine Xiao is running the house."

Queen Dugu said,"It's the best."

After sending off King Yang Xiu of Shu, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian passed down an oral edict. , and Queen Dugu will come to the Jin Palace together.

Yang Guang learned that he was in a hurry. He had been used to being arrogant and extravagant in the court since he was a child. He had servants to take care of everything, so he never worried about household chores.

Yang Guang regarded Xiao Jun as a close friend and said:"The emperor and the queen are coming soon. Since returning from Bingzhou, not even a new cabinet has been changed in the house. It is decent for my beloved concubine to take care of some things."

Xiao Jun said:"Even if you buy some rare treasures and put them in the house, they will not be as good as those in the palace. Besides, my father has ordered that the expenses of the palace cannot affect the court. It is better to save money."

Yang Guang was young and determined. He wanted to make great achievements and have great ambitions. He didn't care about the decorations in the palace, but he was just afraid of losing his dignity in the eyes of others.

Xiao Jun understood Yang Guang clearly and advised:"His Highness attaches great importance to achieving great things. I will take care of the trivial matters in the house."

Yang Guang said:"That's good. My beloved concubine must be careful and don't let what the father says.."

Xiao Jun summoned the servants of the palace and only ordered to clean the courtyard. He did not deliberately whitewash it. He only waited for Emperor Wen and his wife of Sui Dynasty to come to inspect the Jin Palace.
