The carriage and horses crossed Zhuque Street, and then ran straight from Wannian County, Dongshi City, Daxing City to Chang'an County. Xiao Liu, who was sitting in the position of the coachman, held the reins and held the whip, and his hands were as stable as a rock. Although he was just a simple driving car, he was so pleasing to the eye when he did it. It seemed that this was not a simple and cheap man, but a wonderful art. The sixteen hooves of four strong horses rose and fell under his control, which was even more neat than the honor guards at the National Day parade in later generations. Even if there were no rubber tires on the wheels and no springs as shock absorption facilities, Yang Zhao and Li Jing, who were in the carriage, still felt like they were flying on the water, without even a slight bump.

Yang Zhao leaned on the vine pillow in the spacious carriage, stretched his legs comfortably, and picked up a star fruit from the fruit plate next to him and ate it. The sweet and sour juice slid across his throat and flowed into his stomach, making people feel indescribable. Before Yang Zhao traveled through time, he was a native Lingnan person, and had eaten countless star fruits and lychees in his life, which was not rare. But in this era, there were neither trains nor planes, nor even highways. If you want to taste the south in Daxing City in Guanzhong area

Fang Fruit can only travel day and night, and send it from Lingnan with a fast horse. In order to deliver the small star fruit in front of him, he didn't know how many good horses he had exhausted and how much manpower he had spent. His extravagantness is no longer inferior to the emperor, but it is especially good. After all, when Zi Yang Jian was never inclined to be extravagant by nature, he has always been known for his frugality. At this moment, even in the Tai Chi Palace, he may not be able to find any trace of this beautiful fruit in the southern country.

This carriage, four Dayuan foals pulled the carriage, as well as all the decorations in the carriage, star fruits and grapes on the jade plate, are all gifts given to Yang Zhao by Yang Su, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom, and the right servant of the Shangshe Kingdom, Yang Su, the Duke of the Henan Province. Thinking of this, Yang Zhao couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He swallowed the star fruit in a few bites, took the bright red velvet next to it, wiped his hands, and said to Li Jing: "Brother, the Duke of Yue is really generous. Just because of his gift, I'm afraid that we can't get all the belongings of our Henan Palace."

Li Jing also picked up a bunch of grapes and smiled and said, "Duke Yue has always been favored by the emperor, and the prince regards him as his right-hand man. Since Duke Qi retired, Duke Yue has been regarded as the only prime minister in the court. Since he has power, wealth and honor naturally come with him, which is not a special thing." The Duke of Qi he mentioned was Gao Yang. He was once the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe, and his status was even higher than Yang Su. However, because his son Gao Biaoren married the daughter of the deposed crown prince Yang Yong as his wife, he had been dismissed from office and was currently at home.

Yang Zhao sighed and said, "Duke Yue made great contributions to the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, and this cannot be erased. But in addition to his official position and salary, he only had a fief of 3,000 households. If he had not accepted bribes, how could he get so much money? Since he had accepted bribes, how could he not do anything to others? In the long run, it would be a good thing for the Great Sui Dynasty and the Duke Yue himself."

Li Jing also sighed and said, "After Zhuge Wuhou passed away, he had only eight hundred mulberry trees and fifteen thin fields. He was so noble and honest that he really admired. But how many people with such noble character like Zhuge Wuhou have? Human nature is greedy, it was like this thousands of years ago, and it must be like this thousands of years later. Duke Yue... He has outstanding achievements and his talent is actually not much worse than Zhuge Wuhou. Although he is indeed a little extravagant, as long as he has no loss in his great integrity, he will be insignificant in small matters. After all, no gold is pure, and no one is perfect. Therefore, although the emperor knows what Duke Yue said, he has always turned a blind eye to it."

"There is no loss to the great festival?" Yang Zhao chewed these words and couldn't help but shake his head and sneer. Not to mention anything else, just secretly building Yang Gong's treasure house to secretly store a large number of weapons, armor, and staff in Daxing City, and detaining Yang Guang's soul, and using the Great Sui Crown Lord as a puppet to control these two things, it can be seen that Yang Su really has ambitions and is always ready to subvert the Sui world. If such a person can still say that the great festival is no loss, I am afraid that there will be no one in the world who will lose the integrity. However, the above two items are the ones.

Although the little prince knew the matter well, there was no conclusive evidence (Yang Zhao didn't know the exact entrance to Yang Gong's treasure house. After all, the 'original work' was very general and could not follow the map. Yang Guang's soul was too illusory), so he couldn't explain it to Li Jing, so he had to keep it in his heart. He shook his head, put the topic aside for the time being, and asked, "Brother, why did you say that the Duke of Yue invites us to visit his mansion??"

Li Jing picked up the Eight Treasures Box inlaid with Rosewood from the table beside him. This box is made of Rosewood, with silver silk inlaid with cloud thunder patterns on the upper and lower edges. The lid is made of Hetian jade, lapis lazuli, turquoise, agate, mother-of-pearl, coral, diamond, jade, etc., and embellishes the pattern of ancient pines on the cliffs, strange rocks and springs, and deer live in the deer. It contains the meaning of "Yuyou deer sings, eating wild duckweed; I have guests, playing zither and playing sheng". The value of this box alone is no less than a thousand gold. Yang Zhao and his soldiers worked hard to fight Yang Xiu, the Tang Sect, and the Tubo people. However, the rewards he received after he came back might not be able to afford the worship box that Yang Su gave away casually.

People compare people, it is really a dead person. Yang Zhao sighed again, looked up at Li Jing taking out the invitation from the worship box and spreading it out, and he was about to recite it. He suddenly felt annoyed in his heart and smiled bitterly: "Brother, don't read it anymore. I've seen the things on it 17 or 18 times, and I can almost recite them back. Hey, his daughter's 18th birthday, so I invited us to have a birthday wine... It's just an excuse. There are many sons of Duke Yue, but when did an extra daughter named Yang Bingbing come? The drunken man's intention is probably not in the wine."

"I haven't heard of Yang Bingbing's name." Li Jing thought about it, and then said, "But Duke Yue is quite romantic by nature. It is not impossible to leave a little bloodline when he was young. Anyway, it's an excuse, so we don't need to spend too much effort on it. The reason why Duke Yue sent an invitation this time... well, there should be no malicious intentions. No matter what, you are now considered a number one person between the courts. Duke Yue has always been intimate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so it is natural to ask you to have a house together."

In the Ming and Qing dynasties of different later generations in the Great Sui Dynasty, the prime ministers had extremely strong power, and even some things, as long as the prime minister disagreed, the emperor could not forcibly issue orders according to his own wishes. Yang Su was the third rank of the Shangshu Youpushe and the Zhongshu. Nominally, it was lower than Yang Zhao's Shangshu Ling. But in fact, the daily work of the Shangshu Province was presided over by the left and right Pushe, and the Shangshu Ling became just a false position. Especially after Gao Yang was dismissed from office, Yang Su was even more dominant and had a status.

Only under Yang Jian and Yang Guang, he can be called two people, and above ten thousand people. Yang Zhao was named General of the Shangzhu Kingdom and General of the Left Guard, and was also appointed as Shangshu Ling and King of Henan. Among them, only the General of the Left Guard actually held military power, so he was a real position, and the rest were just empty positions. If there were no ten thousand people in the Left Guard, then Yang Zhao would be just a scattered royal family with a noble status. Even if he was the eldest grandson of the emperor, his weight was still far inferior to Yang Su.

Yang Zhao also understood the truth. However, even though he understood, he was still very unhappy. However, the little prince had an innate advantage in dealing with this treacherous minister, that is, the enemy was in the light and I was in the dark. I guess Yang Su would never imagine that the dirty things he had done in private were actually known by the King of Henan. So Li Jing was right. He invited him to have a banquet in the mansion, or did have other intentions, but he would definitely not want to frame him. He smiled and said, "That's right, I'm too worried."

The two were talking in the carriage, and suddenly they heard Xiao Liu shouting "sigh" outside. The Dayuan horses stopped at the same time, and their four hooves were nailed to the ground like nails, without moving a little. Then someone turned over and got off the horse, walked quickly to the carriage, opened the door and penetrated into the upper body, which happened to be Ouyang Si. He smiled and said, "Prince, Li Jijiu, the Duke of Yue's mansion has arrived. Please get off the car." He reached out to the mechanism above the wall of the carriage

After pulling, he lowered the movable ladder with a "swish~". Yang Zhao nodded and said to Li Jing: "Brother, let's go." He got up and tidy up his clothes, and walked off the carriage on the ladder. A middle-aged man with a famous brocade robe and a handsome man who looked and looked up and bowed, and smiled and said, "My destiny, Yang Yue welcomed the prince. The prince was condescending to come, and the humble house was really full of brides. My brother has been waiting for him for a long time. Please, please."

Yang Yue is Yang Su's biological younger brother, and his position is the Minister of Dali Temple. Because he is greedy for money by nature, he has never had a good reputation in the court and the country. However, just looking at his appearance, he is a well-educated Confucian scholar and a humble gentleman. Although what he said is just the most ordinary and kind words, it is not only unrestrained and alienated, but it makes people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze, as if they have been friends with him for many years. This is a real person, and the sea water cannot be measured.
