In the back house of the prince's palace, Yang Ji, as the "head of the family", naturally lives in the main courtyard. In the backyard of the main courtyard, there is a small lake covering an area of seven or eight acres. The lake is clear and surrounded by green trees and lush flowers. The artificial island is connected to the shore by a stone arch bridge, with a pavilion built on it.
Yang Ji and Xiao Ying were sitting on the ground in the pavilion playing Go. They played about half a stick of incense. Xiao Ying looked at Yang Ji, who was frowning, and reminded her in a 'kind-hearted' way: "Lang Jun, you don't have any chess pieces anymore. Is there anything else to think about?”
"I'm thinking about what to eat for lunch." Yang Ji rubbed his temples, his heart full of melancholy. Logically speaking, he had studied hard for more than ten years under the high pressure of his two mothers, an uncle, and a cousin. He is good at civil, military and miscellaneous studies; but now he is doing well in other aspects, but he is a weakling in chess, and anyone can kill him.
Xiao Ying's eyes flashed like spring water, and she said softly: "Whatever you want to eat, Mr. Lang, you only need to give an order. Why bother?"
Yang Ji teased and said, "I want to eat you, is that okay?"
Xiao Ying opened her mouth, but could not speak. She smiled softly and shyly. She played with the chess pieces in her hands for a while, and a mischievous smile emerged in her eyes: "Lang Jun, how about we play another game."
"Don't, don't, don't, it's better to stop!" Yang Ji shook his head repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "My wife is very good at chess, I am willing to be the loser."
Xiao Ying looked at her man's face, which had become much thinner than half a year ago. With a gentle smile on her lips, she said thoughtfully: "Mr. Lang is both wise and brave, and has great ambitions. Naturally, he will not work hard on such small things as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If Lang Jun The time you spent on this is beyond my reach."
"My lady is so good at talking." Yang Ji looked at the well-behaved Xiao Ying, and felt warm in his heart.
This girl is as beautiful as a fairy, as gentle as water, but also very open-minded. Yang Ji originally thought that she would shy away and hide away from people, but after Xiao Ying finished washing, she had already controlled her emotions, as if nothing had happened. The same thing happened, Luoluo went to see my mother.
She has a pure heart and is able to break away from worldly etiquette and help in the palace as a future princess. She can also manage her emotions reasonably and dare to face her own heart.
Such a person who is open-minded, gentle as water, well-founded in advance and retreat, knowledgeable and courteous, is also as beautiful as a fairy, graceful and graceful. Not only is it the ideal partner in any man's dream in the world, it is also an essential quality for a princess.
My vision in choosing my daughter-in-law is really extraordinary. From here to there, several other ladies from famous families who have "different horoscopes" must also be outstanding.
Xiao Ying avoided the topic and suddenly asked: "Mr. Lang, when will we go to Liangzhou?"
Xiao Ying likes the living atmosphere of the palace very much, and also likes the cheerful and smart aunt. Although the palace also attaches great importance to etiquette, it is full of humanity and care. It is not as lifeless as Xiao's palace, and the rules are so strict that it makes people feel Suffocation and fear; if you go to Liangzhou, you don’t have to face the serious faces of your brothers and sisters-in-law all day long without any smile. Of course, Liangzhou also has a more stereotyped seventh brother Xiao Yu, but she is not at all Not afraid.
Yang Ji pondered for a long time and then said: "The Liangzhou War has just ended, and there are many follow-up matters that need to be dealt with, and these matters have to be decided by me, the governor of Liangzhou and the general manager of Liangzhou. Naturally, I can't stay in the capital for a long time. I need to rest." We will leave in three to five days. Could it be that the lady doesn’t want to go to Liangzhou?”
"No, no, of course I really want to go. I heard my mother-in-law say that Liangzhou is my Sui Horse Racing Farm, and there is a vast expanse of prairie there." Xiao Ying said with great yearning: "A few days ago, my mother-in-law also said The Liangzhou grassland is lush and magnificent, and the sky in the grassland is as blue as a gem. I also dreamed that I had become a grassland girl, riding horses and herding sheep freely on the grassland, and singing to my heart's content in the vast grassland."
Yang Ji shook his head and laughed: "You are only talking about the beautiful side of the grassland."
"What's the bad side?" Xiao Ying asked like a curious baby.
"The bad side and the scary side is that when the storm comes, even people and animals will be blown into the sky and then smashed into a pile of meat patties; if you are on the edge of the desert, the yellow sand flying in the sky will make you unable to see your fingers. If you are unfortunate enough to be caught A stone hits your head and explodes with a 'pop' sound. This is what happens in bad weather." Yang Ji said seriously: "The usual danger in the grassland comes from wolves. Once you are targeted by them, they will They will chase you until they are exhausted, and then eat all your bones; in addition to the wolves on the ground, there are also huge eagles and vultures in the sky. These big guys not only snatch away the lambs, but also the children."
Xiao Ying's face turned pale with fright, and her beautiful big eyes were full of fear: "Then...have you met the husband?"
"Definitely not." Yang Ji laughed.
"Mr. Lang, you..." Xiao Ying understood that she was being fooled, and said angrily and funny: "Mr. Lang will tease me."
Yang Ji smiled and explained: "I'm not teasing you. The grasslands are indeed full of dangers and murderous intentions, but the terrible things I mentioned mainly happened in the grasslands of the Turks, not the grasslands of our Sui Dynasty."
"Is there any difference in the grassland?" Xiao Ying had a curious smile in her eyes.
"The difference is huge." Yang Ji thought for a moment and then said: "The biggest enemy of the northern nomads is the harsh grassland. In winter, the grassland is frozen for thousands of miles and water turns into ice. The herdsmen can only feed their animals with hay. If When the ice and snow last for a long time, livestock starve to death and freeze to death. This is a white disaster. However, as the snow falls less in winter, the grassland will lack water sources in the coming year, become grassy, locusts will swarm, and even diseases will break out. It is a black disaster; the terrain of the grassland is flat, and there are no mountains to withstand the sandstorms that block the sun. Even people and livestock are in danger of being swept away. This is a yellow disaster. Therefore, when the northern nomads invade the Central Plains, it is not only their barbaric nature that likes to plunder, but also their barbaric nature. It’s their way of survival, if they don’t come to rob, they may not survive.”
Xiao Ying said with some sympathy: "Actually, the grassland people are quite pitiful."
"It's quite pitiful!" Yang Ji said with a smile: "I think the grassland is too dangerous and not suitable for them to survive, so I worked tirelessly to clear out the Great Lakes area and send the grassland people there to the gods."
Xiao Ying said with admiration: "Lang Jun is so great."
"..." Yang Ji saw her soft face flashing with a crystal-clear luster. She was so beautiful and lovely. When he was about to pounce on her and take a few bites, he heard the sound of footsteps and saw Liu Rumei walking away quickly. come over.
"What's the matter?" Yang Ji frowned, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Liu Rumei was proficient in close combat skills. From Yang Ji's movements, he could see that he was preparing to pounce on Xiao Ying. She knew that she had ruined his good deeds, but she had already hit him, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Master, the front yard door The house steward came to report that Zhang Heng, your concubine, has something to ask for."
"I know." Yang Ji glared at Liu Rumei and strode towards the stone arch bridge.
This Liu Rumei ruined her good things time and time again. She interrupted her intimacy with Xiao Ying in her dream, and she also interrupted her in reality.
"Don't be afraid, Rumei. After getting along for a long time, you will find that Lang Jun is an easy person to get along with." Seeing Liu Rumei's frightened look, Xiao Ying stood up and comforted her with a smile.
"My slave understands." Liu Rumei complained in her heart. During the most half a year of the war, she, Zhang Chuchen, Murong Xianyue and others spent much more time with Yang Ji every day than Xiao Ying. She naturally knew that Yang Ji Ji is very kind to his own people and has never used the sisters around others, but this time he ruined his good deeds of stealing love and beauty, can it be the same?
It's just these words that I would never dare to say to Xiao Ying.
Looking at Liu Rumei's appearance, Xiao Ying, who had no idea that she had "escaped a disaster", couldn't explain anything. She just looked around and found that Zhang Chuchen, who was inseparable from Liu Rumei, did not appear, and asked doubtfully: "Where is Chuchen?" "
"Back to you, madam, Aunt Zhang is feeling a little unwell today. I asked Chuchen to take leave to take care of her." Liu Rumei said quickly.
"That's it!" Xiao Ying nodded and suddenly said: "Rumei, I can't ride a horse. It will definitely be inconvenient to go to Liangzhou in the future. Can you teach me to ride a horse?"
"Okay!" Liu Rumei thought for a while and then agreed.
Xiao Ying asked excitedly: "How should I learn?"
Liu Rumei said: "We women usually start by riding donkeys, or riding docile ponies, and are led by others. Once we get used to walking slowly on our own, we will become proficient at it over time."
"Then let's learn now!" Xiao Ying couldn't wait. She wanted to run freely on the grassland with Lang Jun, and she couldn't wait to learn the superb riding skills right away. There is a spacious horse farm within the palace, so there is no need to go outside to learn, which is very convenient.
"As commanded."
. . . . . .
In Xuanwu, the main hall of the palace (commonly known as Yinluan Hall and Yin'an Hall), Yang Ji met with the crown prince's right concubine Zhang Heng.
"Zhang Heng, who is of humble rank, is here to see King Wei." Zhang Heng saluted Yang Ji respectfully. He was about fifty years old, gentle and elegant, and seemed to be well-mannered.
As early as when Yang Guang was in Hebei Province, he gave advice to Yang Guang. Later, Yang Guang turned to guard Yangzhou, and Zhang Heng became his general manager. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was Yang Guang's mastermind. However, during these more than 20 years, Zhang Heng also achieved many military exploits. After Yang Guang became the crown prince, the imperial court appointed Zhang Heng as the right concubine and concurrently as the minister of Huangmen.
As a princeling, Yang Ji naturally knew that Zhang Heng was resourceful, had many military exploits, and was Yang Guang's most important adviser. Naturally, he would not show off to this man, and said with a smile: "With no courtesy, Mr. Zhang, please sit down."
"Thank you King Wei."
"What happened when Mr. Zhang came here?" After he sat down, Yang Ji asked with some confusion.
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, then asked with a strange expression: "Does King Wei not know what happened in Pingkangfang last night?"
"I overslept and just woke up not long ago." Yang Ji found a random reason.
Zhang Heng nodded in understanding. After all, it was normal for Yang Ji to rest assured and fall asleep after returning from a long journey. He said in a deep voice: "Someone tried to assassinate the king last night. Fortunately, the king did not go through the north gate. Otherwise, he would have been doomed." Then he said. Telling the cause and effect of the matter,
When Yang Ji heard Zhang Heng explain what happened last night, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. If he hadn't met Yang Yichen when he left the palace last night, and walked south along Qixiamen Street, returning home through Xifang Gate despite the distance, he might have The soldiers had already turned into cold corpses. Just thinking about the more than forty soldiers of Youwuhou Mansion who died tragically, I felt angry and sad at the same time.
After holding it in for a while, he smiled with deep emotion and said: "Well, I used to hear people say, 'There are no quiet years in life, it's just that there are people who carry the burden forward for us.' This time, I really feel it."
Zhang Heng carefully tasted this sentence, "There are no quiet years in life, it's just that there are people who carry the burden for us." He couldn't help but praise loudly, "The king said it wonderfully. You defeated Bujia Khan, and so did you." "Carry the burden forward" for the thousands of people in the Sui Dynasty."
"Let's not talk about this." Yang Ji asked in a deep voice: "Since all the evidence points to He Ruobi, I wonder how the saint and the prince are going to deal with it?"
Yang Ji was on vacation and was too lazy to go to the palace to inquire.
"I asked the prince after I asked him. It is said that the saint was thinking about his old relationship and did not intend to pursue the matter. He just asked someone to reprimand He Ruobi." Zhang Heng said with a wry smile: "I understand the saint's difficulties better. After all, the king has not been harmed at all. What if he does it to He Ruobi? It is inevitable that he will be notorious for mistreating his heroes. And the prince also hopes that the king will be calm and calm. If the king takes any action at this time, he will be in trouble. "
"I understand. Please tell Mr. Zhang that I will listen to him in everything." Yang Ji nodded. This explanation was acceptable. If he fought back hard, he would only embarrass Yang Jian and Yang Guang. , and this kind of thing that offends the 'leader' is not something a wise person would do; if you don't do anything now, you will get more.
Moreover, according to He Ruobi's vindictive nature, if he fails this time and is not punished, there will definitely be another assassination attempt. As long as people are sent to keep a close eye on He Ruobi, there is no chance of getting rid of him.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Heng glanced at Yang Ji with great admiration, stood up and said, "That humble post has returned to his post."
"Please, Mr. Zhang." Yang Ji said with a smile.
After Zhang Heng left, Yang Ji called Gongsun Huan over, explained the matter, and finally said: "He Ruobi will definitely be honest for a while, but I really can't stand this endless passive waiting."
Gongsun Huan knew about this. After listening to Yang Ji's explanation to Yang Jian and Yang Guang, he was very approving. However, the last words made him laugh and laugh. He asked with a smile: "What are you going to do? Kill He Ruobi?"
"How is that possible?" Yang Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Master, after the court's order is completed, give He Ruobi a generous gift to stimulate that old bastard. If he loses his mind and assassinates him again, then we can finish it off. , once and for all.”
"Young master, this method is very wonderful!" Gongsun Huan said with a smile: "I will prepare a 'rich gift' that will surprise He Ruobi."
