Chapter 143: The Palace (1)
Woo~~12 is back. It's so tiring to accompany the girl to the road...
————I always have no energy to call for the red ticket dividing line——
"The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are fast, and I see all the flowers in Chang'an overnight." Yang Zhao couldn't help but think of these two lines of poetry again.
Last time when the little prince came back to Daxing, he rode with Mingyue and rode across the streets of Daxing. He also recited this famous work plagiarized by the great poet Meng Jiao and Meng Dongye, but Mingyue interpreted it as a lustful lyrics and erotic song. The little prince couldn't help laughing, and even more of his index fingers moved, and he played "Ma Zhen" with Mingyue on the spot. But then again, Mingyue's solution at that time was just a flirting between the little lovers, of course it was not the original intention of the poet Meng. The "Poetry Prisoner" won the top scorer that day and rode on horseback. It was not until this moment that Yang Zhao really realized the taste of it.
The Daxing Imperial City is divided into two parts: the inner city and the outer city. The inner city is composed of the Taiji Palace and the Eastern Palace where the emperor and the prince live, as well as the Yeting Palace where all kinds of servants, eunuchs, palace maids and others live. After Chengtianmen, it is the outer city, which is the office of various important institutions of the Great Sui Dynasty. Menxia Province, the Secretariat, the Shangshu Province, Taipu Temple, Taichang Temple, Taishijian, the Censorate, and the Taimiao are all among them. At present, the most fierce hand in the Great Sui Dynasty, has become the third-person of the royal family. He has the greatest chance to take over the country in the future, and lead the quelling army to triumphantly pass from Shu. Although the news was not very popular, it still disappeared like it had wings. In just half an hour, it had been spread among all the officials and officials of the institutions in the Outer City.
You should know that Chengtian Gate is the main gate of Daxing Imperial City. It is usually closed and will not open lightly unless it is held. Except for the emperor, no one can pass from now on. This time, Yang Jian actually issued an order to open Chengtian Gate so that Yang Zhao could pass from below. It is a special supreme honor. Even Yang Guang only received such honor on the day he was officially named the crown prince. The countless political animals in the imperial city inside and outside saw it, and even had the most intuitive impression of the question "What is the weight of the King of Henan in the heart of the emperor."
At this moment, Yang Zhao led Yang San, Ouyang Si and others to ride on Chengtian Street. They were either sneaking or openly. Among the countless buildings on both sides of the street, I don’t know how many eyes were all focused on Yang Zhao. Although the eyes were invisible, their spiritual sense had been cultivated to be keen. Even if it was just a concern, they could still be responsive in his heart. Among the countless gazes, there were curiosity, envy, jealousy, disdain, and even gloating and flattery, and so on. It can even be said that they were completely opposite emotions. However, regardless of maliciousness or good intentions, the attention and attention of these core officials who actually grasped the entire country were still happy. Under the attention of everyone, Yang Zhao couldn’t help but feel good, and even hummed a small song softly immediately.
These gazes followed Yang Zhao and his group of men walked out of the Zhuque Gate and left Daxing Imperial City before they disappeared one after another.
Outside the Zhuque Gate is Zhuque Street. As the main road connecting the north and south of Daxing City, this spacious avenue that is hundreds of meters wide is always bustling on both sides. Among the pedestrians who come and go, there are both Han people in the Middle Land and Hu people from various tribes from surrounding countries. Although the horses Yang Zhao rode were majestic, his clothes were very simple. From the outside, some people with extraordinary vision could see that he was not an ordinary civilian, but at most he regarded him as a young child of a certain family, but no one could predict that no one could predict. Soon, this handsome young man would be the crown prince of the current dynasty.
Therefore, when the little prince led everyone to walk along Zhuque Street, the situation was exactly the opposite of what he had just happened, and no one noticed him particularly. But Yang Zhao did not feel disappointed, but instead looked at the prosperous and lively Great Sui capital, he felt a little proud in his heart. This pride was not only because he was a citizen of the Great Sui capital, nor because he would have the opportunity to become the unique master of this land in the future, but also because he had left blood and sweat to defend the prosperity of this land and the civilization it carries.
The horse's hooves were light and brisk. Yang Zhao took Yang San and Ouyang Si and others with him, and soon left Zhuque Street, turned to Yong'an Street, which belonged to the western city, and headed towards the Henan Prince's Mansion. Speaking of which, this mansion belonged to Yuwen Yun, the Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, had seemed to have no fate with the owner since it was given to Yang Zhao and changed to the Henan Prince's Mansion.
Once, the little prince left the palace and went to the palace, and on the way, he met the monk Zhu Faran, who was blocking the road. After a fierce battle, he turned around and went to Jile Temple. Then he ran into Ning Daoqi and Fan Qinghui. He couldn't help but go to Chengdu. The second time, no one blocked the road, but Tang Mingyue and Tang Siwen of the Tang Sect came to the door first. They originally intended to escape the pursuit of Tang Shisan, who was robbing the squad, but Tang Siwen was refined into a "poison slave" at that time, and he was not clear about it. As a result, he started a killing and killed everyone in the palace. Another fierce battle was just over.
During the war when the little prince led his army to the expedition, Tang Mingyue and Tang Siwen were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, but they did not suffer much.
After the imperial army conquered Chengdu, the chaos was settled. However, Yang Zhao was always worried about the Tang Sect in Shu, which colluded with Yang Xiu and fueled the fire behind the scenes. Unfortunately, the Tang Sect General Office is in a secret position, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is not conducive to the army's conquest. Moreover, the army was rushing to return to Daxing, so it could no longer have any effect. Therefore, according to Ning Daoqi's treatment, Tang Shisan also offered a reward and wanted to arrest the documents of the arrest of Tang Shisan.
Of course, this is just a means of showing the attitude of the court and being better than nothing. As for those constables in the yamen, even if they hit Tang Shisan on the road, would they be able to arrest the leader of the Tang Sect? If the fish bone stuck in their throat is not removed, Yang Zhao would always feel unhappy. But to truly eradicate the Tang Sect power, people from the Tang Sect will always have to help them. Tang Mingyue and Tang Siwen are familiar with the inside story of the Tang Sect, and their cultivation is also quite good. If possible, Yang Zhao would want to find time to go to the Ministry of Justice to see if they are willing to enter the Henan Palace to serve him.
But that is also a matter of the future. As the saying goes, things can only last for three. But from another perspective, the same thing may have to be repeated three times before it can end. This time, it happened to be back to his Henan Palace three times, and I don’t know if there will be any trouble. Thinking of this, Yang Zhao laughed secretly that he was too suspicious, but he still couldn’t help but subconsciously concentrate on his guard. Yang San, Ouyang Si and others saw it, and couldn’t help but secretly feel strange. Thinking that our prince was also born and raised in a large-scale construction and was also a very noble dragon, son and son. He had never seen any big scenes? Why are he looking around like a local bun now? It’s really strange.
Of course, Yang San and Ouyang Si will only stay in their stomachs at most, and they will never take it seriously. One person will be able to achieve enlightenment, and the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. Yang Zhao was granted the title of General of the Shangzhu Kingdom, and the seven of them also received Ce Xun and joined the Henan Palace as the royal cadres in the palace to participate in the military. This is not a formal envoy of the court, but it is an official position under the sixth rank, which is half a level higher than the seventh rank county magistrate.
After Yang Zhao opened his palace, he had the right to set up his own officials. When he promoted officials and rewarded them in parallel, no one had to report the court to decide the decision, and he could take the sect by himself. Therefore, although the sparrows in the Henan Palace were small, they were all complete, and they were a small miniature court. The palace had a total of six merits, including warehouses, soldiers, cavalry, armor, and scholars, and they were in charge of all kinds of matters in the palace, with low positions and great power. As the Henan Palace became increasingly valued in the court, the status of these officials in the palace had certainly increased, and their value was a hundred times higher.
Aside from this, in just a few months, Yang San, Ouyang Si and the seven others were promoted from ordinary soldiers to the sixth rank, and they must be called an exception. If a soldier dies as a confidant, I will repay him as a national soldier. Naturally, they must be more energetic and follow His Highness of Henan to repay his kindness for his understanding. What's more, they have seen Yang Zhao's performance for several months. Therefore, although his prince is really young, they are really convinced and even more convinced.
Facts proved that Yang Zhao's suspicion was unreasonable. From Zhuque Street to the gate of his Henan Palace, it was always calm and there was no sudden incident. However, as soon as he entered the alley in front of the palace (it was small, but in fact, at least three large trucks could be driven side by side. The architectural style of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was broad and wide, and Daxing City was two and a half times that of Beijing in later Ming and Qing Dynasties), the little prince was very sensitive to the front, back, left and right, at least thirty or forty people were hiding in the dark, and at the same time casting attention to him. However, until he walked into the gate of the palace, these people did not move further, so Yang Zhao was too lazy to care about them. He turned over and jumped off the horse, and opened his arms to Li Jing who was standing in the yard and leading the people in the mansion to greet him, and laughed: "Brother, I'm back."
Li Jing had a dignified personality. Although he had regarded Yang Zhao as a sibling in his heart, he refused to lose his courtesy. He then took a step back slightly, made a gesture with his right hand hanging beside him, and then bowed respectfully and said in a calm voice: "I will welcome the prince back to the house." The Zhe Da Cao Er, Alu Wu Xiao Liu, Qi Qi and others behind him bent their knees and half-kneeled, following Li Jing's words.
Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then laughed silently, pretended to raise his hand and pressed it softly, "Don't give me a favor, I'll just keep my body flat." He rushed forward and pulled Li Jing up two steps, and smiled and said, "Brother, do we have to do this mysterious thing? We'll be exempted from now on."
