Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Two days later, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, and Empress Dugu came to the Jin Palace together. The clear water was splashed on the street. The people avoided it, and the soldiers cleared the way. From a distance, you could see that the imperial chariot was arriving leisurely. Yang Guang, Xiao Jun, and their officials were already at the palace. Waiting outside for a long time.

Yang Jian and Empress Dugu went down together from the royal banquet. Everyone in the mansion knelt down and worshiped. After paying homage, Yang Jian and Empress Dugu walked into the Jin Palace, followed closely by Yang Guang and Xiao Jun.

While strolling in the palace of Prince Jin, Yang Jian looked around and asked as he walked:"How many courtyards, pavilions and pools are there in the palace?"

Yang Guang replied:"There are three courtyards and one pool in the palace, and there are no pavilions or pavilions.""

"Um."Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty came to the front yard and looked around. He saw that under the long corridor, the red paint was old, the stone railings were smooth, and there were no carved beams or columns. There was no ancient scholarly atmosphere, and the wood was old and old.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty asked :"Is the corridor of the Jin Prince's Mansion so old and boring, without any poetic or picturesque charm?"

"Well……"Yang Guang was a little confused about the answer for a moment, so he turned to look at Xiao Jun. Xiao Jun knew that Yang Guang was in trouble, so he took over the words and said:"Exquisite carvings are expensive and are something that the rich compare themselves to. They are not loved by the king of Jin."."

After hearing this, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty nodded frequently and said,"It is very valuable to have such knowledge." Queen Dugu, who was beside her, also happily acquiesced after hearing this.

In the front yard of Prince Jin's Mansion, there are all the side rooms for the servants. Everyone accompanied Yang Jian to the middle yard, where the study is located. Entering the study room, there are several pieces of calligraphy hanging on the two walls; there are countless classic books and volumes on the ancient shelf in the middle; there is a long table with pens, inks, paper and inkstones on it.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty asked:"There are many calligraphy hangings in the study, why are there no paintings?"

Yang Guang was not obsessed with calligraphy and painting. He never thought that his father would ask such a question. He didn't know how to answer it for a while, but Xiao Jun was attracted by Song Ma The calligraphy that my grandma had learned was still fresh in her memory, so she said:"On weekdays, the King of Jin loves calligraphy the most, judging people by their words, and paying attention to moral integrity. He is not a person who is infatuated with landscapes and has a leisurely mood."

Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty greatly appreciated it when he heard this. , even Empress Dugu smiled broadly, Yang Jian said:"The prince can have such a state of mind, he must set an example for others." Yang Guang couldn't help but smile at Xiao Jun, secretly saying that he was jealous.

When he arrived in the backyard, Yang Jian saw a house that had not been used for a long time. Looking through the window, he saw that there were musical instruments placed inside, but the strings were broken and the dust was thick. They had not been cleaned for years. Yang Jian's face darkened and he asked:"Both of you and your wife have learned musical instruments and are proficient in rituals and music. Why did the string of the zither break and let it rot and not be repaired?"

Yang Guang took a deep breath in his heart and secretly Thinking about what to do, Xiao Jun replied:"Reporting to my father, the King of Jin doesn't like the singer's voice, so he doesn't care about the zither or musical instrument.""

"oh?"Queen Dugu said:"It's good not to be sensual, but if you don't clean it for a long time because of the thick soil, you are not diligent."

Xiao Jun said:"My mother forgives me for my sins. The king of Jin worshiped the general manager of Bingzhou, supervised the battles at the frontier, and waited for the day to come. He had no interest in trivial matters for a long time, so he became lax in running the family."

Xiao Jun's answers were so reasonable that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Dugu looked at Yang Guang in a new light. Yang Guang was neither arrogant nor arrogant, but he was also diligent and thrifty, and everything he did was commendable. Yang Jian and Empress Dugu were satisfied and chatted. Some parents were short-lived and were quite pleased, so they took the imperial ban and left the Jin palace.

Farewell to Emperor Wen and his wife of Sui Dynasty, Jin Wang Yang Guang returned to the palace, punched the doorpost with his fist, and sighed. Xiao Jun stepped forward and asked :"My father and mother didn't blame anything, so why did Your Highness beat the doorpost angrily?"

"well. Yang Guang said:"If I had known that my father was so happy, I should have taken this opportunity to read Yan Rong's book, but I was so panicked that I forgot about it."

Yang Guang walked directly to the backyard,"Your Highness, Your Highness……", Xiao Jun hurriedly followed, and when he saw Yang Guang, he didn’t even look back and followed him to the study room in the backyard.

"Grind the ink quickly."

Xiao Jun didn't know where Yang Guang's impatience came from, so he stood aside and quickly prepared his pen and ink. Yang Guang picked up the pen and moistened the ink, and drew up a memorial by himself, in which he wrote about Yan Rong's many crimes.

Xiao Jun served Yang Guang at the side When tea came, I saw this memorial and asked,"Your Highness really wants to participate in the impeachment of Yan Rong?"

Yang Guang said:"Yanrong is a beast, how can I tolerate him?""

Xiao Jun said:"At first, I wanted to bring Yan Rong to justice. That day at the family banquet, my father talked about using troops for the Northern Expedition, and Yan Rong was promoted to the general manager of Qingzhou. I expected that even if a general like Yan Rong started... Even my father may not believe it. In his eyes, His Highness is still a childish child. Yang

Guang paused for a moment. After being reminded by Xiao Jun, he seemed to remember something and said,"That day at the family dinner, my father did say that he was preparing to attack the Turks. It seems that it is time to use troops." If I participated in the impeachment, I would be fighting with the hero."

Xiao Jun said:"My father and my mother love to be diligent and frugal. In my opinion, Your Highness, it is better to do something to care about the country. On the contrary, my father will put you to good use.""

"Concubine Xiao, who is such a careless woman, has such a scheming mind. What can you say about her?"Yang Guang asked.

Xiao Jun smiled slyly and said:"In the past few days since I returned to the capital, I have seen that the wine shops, salt pools, and teahouses in the Sui Dynasty are all owned by officials and the people are not allowed to buy or sell. But in our Jiangnan, transactions are free, the government is enlightened, and the people are It's also richer than here."

Yang Guang didn't know much about political affairs. When he heard Xiao Jun's words, he felt fresh and asked:"It makes sense. In such a comparison, the Central Plains is indeed inferior to Jiangnan. My beloved concubine might as well tell her her thoughts one by one."

Xiao Jun is not good at political affairs. The couple were chatting enthusiastically, so they simply let go of the conversation:"Your Highness, why don't you write a book. The government monopolizes the transaction, and the people have no way to benefit. Please ask for an order to abolish the ban on wineries, salt ponds, and teahouses, which will also benefit the people.""

"good. Yang Guang's eyebrows rose with joy, he praised her repeatedly, and then asked:"If there is anything else you want to say, my beloved, feel free to say it.""

Xiao Jun sat aside, holding his chin on his jade wrist, thinking for a moment and asked:"Is this what I really want to say?"

"What's the point of having anything to do with me? Let me tell you quickly."

Xiao Jun said:"Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, we have had more than enough martial arts, but not enough in civil administration. Although there is a clan of iron hoofs, there are no students. If the father can collect all the books in the world, collect the volumes of hundreds of schools, famous scholars from all over the world, and high scholars from all over the world, he will definitely be convinced and awed. Yang

Guangda was delighted, took another empty note, and polished his pen:"Say those words you just said again, this is how you should write a memorial.""Xiao Jun said it again with a smile in his eyes, and Yang Guang followed it one by one. This is: the rules in the house are normal, but the Xiao family is as clever as her tongue.

People are always jealous when they are favored, but abstaining from extravagance will only make them famous.

Dugu The Queen returned to Ning'an Hall and was very impressed by her visit to Prince Jin's Mansion today. She thought about it and talked to some of the accompanying palace ladies.

They were chatting enthusiastically when the Crown Princess Yuan Shi arrived and saw Queen Dugu chatting. He was so happy that he asked,"What happy things did the queen say? Why don't you tell the children too?""

Just don't listen. When she heard Queen Dugu's words, she always praised Xiao Jun, which made Concubine Yuan feel a little embarrassed, and she couldn't help but feel jealous in her heart. She hurriedly paid homage to Queen Dugu and returned to the East Palace. Back to the

East Palace, Prince Yang Yong was playing the harp alone, and Concubine Yuan said,"Your Highness, you still have time to play the harp and have fun?"

"What's the matter with my beloved concubine, why are you so anxious?"

"Since Xiao Jun returned to Beijing, he has been competing for favor and love in front of his father and mother, which has made the palace restless. Yang

Yong said happily:"If my beloved concubine doesn't like Xiao Jun, I will definitely help you get rid of her."" Concubine Yuan was shocked when she heard this, and she quickly took Yang Yong's arm and questioned her.

Yang Yong said that he wanted to drive Xiao Jun out of the capital, which made Crown Princess Yuan very curious. Yang Yong said:"In recent days, My father has been planning a personal expedition against the Turks. The commander-in-chief of each march is being selected."

"So what?"Concubine Yuan asked

"Since Yang Guang and his wife are favored, it is better to recommend him and his wife to go to the enemy again. Yang Yong said.

When Concubine Yuan heard this, her sad face turned to joy, and she said:"This is the best. How does the prince plan to mention it to his father?""

"This palace has its own methods. It is easy to mention evil words and say bad things easily, and it will definitely be able to prevent any leakage."Yang Yong said this. Concubine Yuan was overjoyed. The couple were as sweet as ever....

A few days later, Prince Yang Yong came to Xuanwen Hall and paid homage to Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. Yang Jian was presenting the memorial, and Yang Yong said:"Yesterday, my father came to court early to discuss the Northern Expedition to the Turks. I thought it was necessary to dispatch elite soldiers and generals to prepare for war."

Yang Jian usually didn't listen to Yang Yong's heated discussions on government affairs, but today he heard him say this When he said that, Long Yan was very happy:"What do you think my son has? Why don't you tell me in detail."

Yang Yong said:"The day when the two countries are at war is when heroes emerge in large numbers. I think that my father should make full use of his talents and serve the country.""

"Who are the pillars of talent?"

"The King of Jin is worthy of a heavy responsibility."Yang Yong said.

When Yang Jian heard this, his face darkened and he said:"Since the war is coming, why don't you go and ask for a fight and let your brother go to the front enemy?"

"this……"Yang Yong hurriedly said:"This is the time for a man to make contributions and establish a career. My son has become the prince. He should fulfill his responsibilities as a prince. He should give this opportunity to his second brother."

Yang Jian was impatient after hearing this and waved his hand. , reprimanded:"War between two countries is not a child's play. At critical moments, the king must personally take action and take the lead. This time I will conquer the Turks, I will personally conquer the Turks!"

After reprimanding, Yang Yong seemed to have woken up and wanted to elaborate. , who knew that Yang Jian waved his hand and asked Yang Yong to retreat. When Yang Yong saw that the emperor's face was unhappy, he did not dare to say anything.......

Yang Yong returned to the East Palace, full of grievances and unhappy. Concubine Yuan saw him and asked,"Has the prince seen the emperor today? What did you say? Why are you unhappy?""

"I wanted to take this opportunity to recommend Yang Guang to the border, but I didn't expect that he would be scolded by his father. Yang Yong said.

Concubine Yuan brought a bowl of tea and handed it to Yang Yong. Yang Yong took a sip of tea and said,"Father, the emperor will personally lead the expedition and supervise the battle in person." Before he finished speaking, a palace man came to report:"Liu Shu, the guard of the East Palace, wants to see you.""

"Tell him to come and see you."

I saw guard Liu Shu entering the inner hall. This man had clear features, a slight beard, and a straight figure. He was wearing a reddish-brown robe of the crown prince's personal guard. He walked towards him. Liu Shu paid homage to the crown prince and Concubine Yuan, and Yang Yong asked :"What's important?"

Liu Shu said:"Your Highness, the treasures paid tribute by small countries are entering the treasury today. The treasurer and I selected a few pieces to send to the prince. Please check them."

"Let me see. Yang Yong said.

Yang Yong followed Liu Shu to the side room and saw several wooden boxes open and many treasures exposed. Yang Yong asked:"Has your father ever seen these treasures?""

Liu Shu said:"The emperor and the queen have always been diligent and frugal, and never cared about these treasures. Most of them were stored in the warehouse, and after a long time, they were rewarded to the ministers."

Yang Yong played with each piece one by one, tasting them here and there. He felt a bright light shining in his eyes. Yang Yong turned around and saw that it was a set of armor.

But look at this set of armor. It is exquisitely made. The golden light is facing the sun, and the armor is inlaid with pearls. The gems around the helmet were dazzling, and Yang Yong asked:"Does this armor have an origin?"

Liu Shu said:"The prince has good eyesight. The helmet is called the Pearl Phoenix Tail Helmet, and the armor is called the Pearl and Dragon Golden Armor. This armor has an extraordinary origin. The gems come from the southern barbarian countries and the pearls are taken from the southern countries. This is a treasure paid tribute by the Linyi Kingdom. Yang

Yong was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said happily:"My father is about to go on a personal expedition. What will happen if I give this armor to my father?"

Yang Yong looked at Liu Shu and said,"Oh.……"Liu Shu whispered:"The emperor has never looked at gold and silver jewelry. This armor is so luxurious, I'm afraid the emperor won't like it."

Yang Yong smiled and said:"You are too worried, don't you give this pair of armors on weekdays?" The armor is indeed luxurious and has no place to use it. Now my father is leading the expedition in person, and the fine armor and horses are the beloved of the general. It is just the right time to send them."

Liu Shu felt that it was reasonable, so he arranged for someone to preserve the armor and prepare to present it to the emperor. It's really calculated: the day when the prince presents his armor to flatter him, the day when Xiao Nu advises to be diligent and frugal.

Looking at the imperial court's own affairs with a smile, how many people know about the infighting in the nest?
