Two months later, with a melodious bell ringing, thousands of defenders on the top of the city raised their spears together to pay tribute to a long convoy of horses and cars.

The gate of Pujin Pass opened, and a convoy of 300 carriages slowly drove into Guancheng under the escort of three thousand cavalry.

In the second carriage, Pei Minqiu quietly stared at the Red Eagle Battle Flag flying on the top of the city, and her eyes showed complex emotions. Although she knew that this day would come sooner or later, when it finally arrived, she felt infinite emotion in her heart.

Soon, she will become the queen of this new dynasty and will be in power to the world. Whether she can do her best will make her worry.

Sitting opposite her was Zhang Chuchen, who would be named Yuan Fei, but she did not value this title, and she was more of her yearning for future life.

"Sister, Yuan Qing said he was going to inspect Jiangnan, when was it?"

"It seems to be autumn!"

Pei Minqiu smiled and said, "Do you want to go with him?"

Zhang Chuchen nodded, "I miss the water and land in that place. I always hope to go and take a look again, but I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future."

"How come there is no chance? There will be a long life in the future!"

Pei Minqiu's eyes were blue in the sky. In fact, she was a little worried. Once she entered the palace, could they still take their families out for a trip like the Chu Palace?

In the latter carriage, Yang Bing and Yang Fangxin were sitting at the small table. Another name was written over and over again, Xiao Fangxin, Xiao was the surname of her mother. In the future, she would change her name to Xiao Fangxin, and Yang Fangxin disappeared from the world.

"Aunt, stop writing. You have written it hundreds of times. Would I still make mistakes?"

Yang Bing said with a smile.

Yang Fangxin's face turned red. "What do you do with such a lot of mouth? Do you want me to tell me about embroidered bags?"

Yang Bing's face immediately became a little unnatural. "What's the matter if I make an embroidery bag for my father?"

"Yeah?"

Yang Fangxin looked at her with a smile, "You made two embroidery bags, and the other embroidery bag contains the word Huaiyu. I don't understand. Who is Huaiyu? Could it be that the embroidery of "Huaichun" is wrong?"

"You damn little girl. Look at me twisting your mouth!"

Yang Bing rushed up, threw her down, and reached out to pinch her face, "Look, you still dare to gossip!"

A mercy-like laughter rang out in the carriage, "Stop tickling, I dare not say anything more."

On a carriage behind, Yang Yuanqing's second son Yang Jing held a book in his hand. He leaned out from time to time and looked at the carriage in front of him curiously. He was weak in figure, like a girl, extremely quiet.

He covered his mouth and laughed, "Brother, it seems that the eldest sister is scratching the itch of Ah Gu."

Sitting opposite him was the eldest son Yang Ning. He was leaning against the wall of the car to read a book. Seeing that his brother was a little absent-minded, he reached out and knocked on the small table, "Concentrate!"

"oh!"

Yang Jing stuck out her tongue, sat down obediently, opened the book and read it seriously. He was a serious child and loved reading very much. He was a bit like Yang You who was hiding in Jinyang Palace. Once, his mother A Lian didn't see him all day, and she was so scared that the whole family searched everywhere. Even the well was drained, and finally found that he was hiding outside his father.

Yang Ning, opposite him, was a little restless and seemed to be worried. His master Li Gang told him that he was about to be the crown prince and that he had to learn that if he was the crown prince, he had set dozens of rules for him, and he had to follow the rules when speaking and walking.

Yang Ning sighed in his heart. He also wanted to go out for inspection with his father, but he didn't know if his father would be willing to take him with him?

A carriage behind them was Jiang Peihua and Yuchi Wan. Jiang Peihua held his son and looked out the window, and from time to time he whispered to him the birds flying past the window, and told him the lambs on the roadside. The little guy giggled with joy.

At this time, Jiang Peihua looked back at Yuchi Wan and asked with concern: "What, is the reaction very serious?"

Yuchi Wan's lower abdomen was slightly raised, and she looked pale, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and retching from time to time. She was almost four months pregnant, but her reaction was still very serious. Especially this time, when she made a journey from Taiyuan to Chang'an, she first took a boat, and then changed to a carriage. It was better to take a boat, but the carriage was bumpy and made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Sister Three, I really can't stand when we can arrive in Chang'an."

Jiang Peihua quickly handed the child over to the wet nurse beside him, gently held her, patted her on the back, and whispered: "Perseverely hold on, walk dozens of miles to Guangtong Canal. We will take a boat instead and go directly to Chang'an."

"Yeah!" Yuchi Wan nodded and retching again.

A long convoy of horses and carriages entered Pujin Pass, and turned southwest toward Guangtong Canal. There, dozens of boats were already waiting for them.

.........

When Yang Yuanqing visited Hehuang, he returned from visiting Huining and inspected the silver mines here. The silver mines had been mined on a large scale. More than 60,000 miners from Guanlong, Hexi and Turks mined silver mines and copper mines here day and night. After a little roughening, he was transferred to Lingwu County to refine them into silver ingots and copper ingots.

The highest official in charge of Huining Silver Mine was Ma Shao. He followed Yang Yuanqing for more than 20 years and was loyal to Yang Yuanqing. He was awarded Duke Ying and the champion general. He served as deputy general of Guannei Road and governor of Huining.

Ma Shao is over forty years old and has given birth to two sons, both of whom are in the army. The eldest son Ma Shuwu is Yang Yuanqing's personal military captain.

At this time, Ma Shao was accompanying Yang Yuanqing to inspect the silver mine. He pointed at a newly built silver mine with a horse whip and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the silver mine begins. We no longer use mine caves, but mines, gradually expanding and deepening, and eventually a huge mine pit will form, which should be enough for the world's silver consumption."

Yang Yuanqing shook his head and said, "We cannot always rely on the Huining County Silver Mine. We should be prepared for danger in times of peace and find a new source of silver. It is a good way to trade with the West. Silk, tea, porcelain, and our profit is silver and gold sent continuously by the West. In the future, the Huining County Silver Mine cannot be expanded. We should leave a little for our descendants. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

After pausing, Ma Shao said carefully: "Why should Your Highness keep the remnants of Li Tang and not kill them all?"

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him and smiled faintly, "Why do we have to kill everyone?"

"Yang Jian killed all the Yuwen royal family back then." Ma Shao said in dissatisfaction.

"Then why did Yang Jian not drive away all the royal family of Chen and Xiao?"

"This..." Ma Shao was speechless. He felt a little moved. Yang Jian killed the Yuwen royal family because of usurping the throne, which was different from Yang Yuanqing.

Yang Yuanqing smiled and patted his shoulder, "You must have a demeanor in the world. I can spare Dou Jiande and Xiao Xian. Why can't I spare Li Jiancheng? Can they still turn over? If you don't even have this confidence, how can you win the world?"

Ma Shao lowered his head, bit his lips for a while and said, "Your Highness. I don't want to guard the silver mine. I want to spread the border for your Highness and let me participate in the fight against Goryeo!"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head slightly, and Ma Shao suddenly became anxious, "Your Highness, I am only forty-five years old. I can fight for at least ten years. I will be crazy when I watch them mining all day long."

Yang Yuanqing smiled. "I don't mean that. I want you to fight the Western Turks. Although the Western Turks' den was broken, the remnants are still there and we will continue to attack. In a few months, you and Yang Wei will help Su Dingfang to conquer the West."

Ma Shao was overjoyed, "Thank you for your kindness in humbleness!"

...........

After leaving Huining County, Yang Yuanqing continued to march towards Chang'an. That night, after passing Shiping County, thousands of troops stationed outside Acheng Town, which was more than 40 miles away from Chang'an.

At this time, a soldier came to report, "Captain Du is here!"

Yang Yuanqing was reading a book in the tent, then nodded and smiled, "Please come in."

After a moment, Du Ruhui hurriedly walked from a distance. Looking at Du Ruhui's figure, Yang Yuanqing remembered Fang Xuanling. He was captured in the final decisive battle and refused to bow his head. It was not until Li Jiancheng surrendered that he finally surrendered and appeared as the chief of Shu County. I wonder if Du Fang and the other two would become prime ministers in the future?

At this time, Du Ruhui walked into the tent, bowed and bowed and said, "See Your Highness!"

"Secretary Du, don't be polite, please sit down!"

Du Ruhui sat down and smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, good omen from heaven!"

"What are the auspicious signs?" Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but smile.

"This morning, a colorful phoenix bird landed on the Prayer of Suzaku Street, causing a sensation all over the city. More than 100,000 people witnessed the phoenix bird with their own eyes, and even Chen saw it with his own eyes. When he spread his wings and flew, his auspiciousness was so great that it was... amazing!"

Although Du Ruhui knew that this was the masterpiece of He Chou, the young master of craftsmanship, he still couldn't help but admire it. It was simply a skillful work, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false.

"Your Highness, the time is ripe, and you can perform the abdication ceremony. You need to give three words before you can accept the country."

Yang Yuanqing narrowed his eyes and smiled, but he turned around and said, "Have the court officials moved to Chang'an, have they settled?"

"Everyone has settled down and the court is operating normally."

Yang Yuanqing stood up and said, "Let's go!"

The two walked out of the tent and walked slowly under the moonlight. Yang Yuanqing looked at the bright moonlight in the sky with his hands behind his back, and sighed softly, "I have been thinking recently, what kind of lesson should I learn from Yang Guang so that I can't repeat his mistakes?"

Du Ruhui whispered: "Your Highness, we have also discussed this issue with Ziwei Pavilion. The key is three points: appointing talented people, accepting advice, and cherishing the people. As long as your Highness can do these three points, the world will be prosperous, and your Highness has done a good job."

Yang Yuanqing shook his head gently, "Even if I do a good job, will my son, grandson, great-grandson, great-grandson, great-grandson, do they do the same well?"

"What does Your Highness mean?"

Yang Yuanqing stared at the night sky and said slowly: "I think there is only one key, decentralization!"

Du Ruhui pondered for a long time and said, "Does Your Highness refer to imitating the Han Dynasty? Do you divide power by the king and the prime minister?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled, "It can be said that, but it is not entirely true. This cannot be decided in a short while. It takes many years of exploration and changes, but we can try it slowly."

Yang Yuanqing turned around and stared at the direction of Chang'an. Under the night sky, he seemed to hear the bells coming from Chang'an.

Tomorrow, he will return to Chang'an, and he has been looking forward to this day for a long time.
