Tongshu with Mei

Yang Ye was being urged to enter the palace by someone sent by Yang Xi, when he heard this, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "It's easy to say."

It turned out that Yang Ye was assigned a job by Yang Xi, and he was made to worry about bringing a few officials to prepare for Bei Chenqing's marriage.Yang Ye was a little embarrassed when he heard the news, and didn't dare to say anything more, so he worked honestly for a few days.It was hard to get everything in order.

He was introduced into the palace by Yang Xi, and Yang Xi waited for him in the side hall of his bedroom. As soon as Yang Ye entered the door, he saw dozens of large wooden boxes tied with nanmu and painted with gold. Yang Xi said: "This is from the warehouse in the palace. , I am going to reward Yun Qi, I have even prepared your share of congratulatory gifts, so as to save you from famine again. You can bring someone to deliver it later."

Yang Ye walked around in the middle of the wooden box, and said with a smile, "Oh, the emperor's grace is mighty. What are these?"

Yang Xidao: "It's all the things that the former emperor saved in the warehouse. I don't know what it is. I just said to pick up some valuable and rare ones. The dowry that Lord Cen gave to the little princess is generous, and our Yunqi can't be underestimated." .” Turning back and glaring at him: “If you are obedient and obedient, I will definitely give you more.”

There was a bright red post on the table next to it, and the rewards were clearly listed one by one, Yang Ye picked it up casually to have a look, but he couldn't see palace satin, pearls and jade.He scanned down inadvertently, but a few words suddenly jumped into his eyes, and it was clearly the words "golden silk, red bamboo and jade".

Yang Ye was stunned, his face slowly turned pale, but his heart was just sore and unbearable.Seeing him in a daze, Yang Xi said: "Why are you in a daze? But what did you like? Just take what you want, and brother Huang will make up for Yun Qi."

Yang Ye said: "No." Slowly put down the post, said: "I'll go right away."

Bei Chenqing's marriage is a major event in the court.Even Prince Cen, who has never been out of Guanzhong, moved all the way here because of his youngest daughter's marriage.The soldiers carried loads of dowry, and the first ones had already arrived at the general's mansion, while the last ones had not yet entered Luoyang City. The rich dowry shocked the government and the public.The house in the general's mansion became tense, and Yang Ye vacated the former Huainan Hou's mansion for him, and accommodated the things brought by the guests.Yang Xi even came to officiate the marriage in person, giving enough face.

Yang Ye didn't last long at the banquet in the evening. Seeing that everyone was happy, he couldn't be alone, so he told Bei Chenqing that he had a headache and that he hadn't recovered from the wind and cold. Then he quietly left with a few guards, and A bustling chaos was left behind.

This day also coincided with the opening of Xie Lianfang's Shihua Academy. Xie Lianfang's post had been delivered to his mansion three days earlier, and now he was really bored, so he turned in by the way.Xie Lianfang was ecstatic to see that he had left Bei Chenqing's wedding and came to join him in person, and asked him to be welcomed in like a living Buddha.

Yang Ye said: "What kind of smart child do you have under your command? Don't give me your Suyu. You should come and accompany me yourself."

Xie Lianfang hit the snake with the stick, and hurriedly said: "Then as long as the prince doesn't dislike my younger brother, I will not accept other guests in the future. On the first day of the opening today, some guests wanted to tease my younger brother with malicious intentions. Don't look at it." The children in our academy are just staring at my little brother!"

Yang Ye was startled, turned his head to look at him solemnly for a while, and then smiled and said, "Someone would... Hehehe, no, didn't you say that this academy has half of me? So does it mean that the more you earn, the more money I get in dividends?" The more you have? In this way, you have to pick up more customers. Go, go now, pick up the rich ones, or I will beat you!"

Although Xie Lianfang was still full of smiles, his complexion changed a little: "My lord is so ruthless, my younger brother is very sad. Well, my younger brother will go to meet the guests, and come back to accompany the lord when I have time."

That night when he was drunk, Xie Lianfang tried hard to keep him, he only said that it was his own property, and he prepared a lodging place for Yang Ye alone, so that no one else would disturb his cleanliness.Yang Ye saw that the bustle of people coming and going here was a hundred times stronger than his own big and boring palace, so he listened to him and didn't go back to the palace.While drunk, he did not forget to confess: "How much money you made today, remember to report it to me!"

Xie Lianfang said: "Definitely!"

After staying here, Xie Lianfang was obedient and considerate, took care of him very thoughtfully, and indeed came to pay the bill every day.Yang Ye had nothing to do, so he lingered in the academy for a few days.

A few days later, the news that King Huai did not return at night reached Yang Xi, which made him furious again.Just about to go to Yang Ye to come over and teach him a good lesson. An urgent report has been sent from the eight hundred miles here. There is a conflict between the people of the two countries in the south and the border of Qiongnan Kingdom. The local army is trying to mediate and suppress it.

Yang Xi had no choice but to put Yang Ye's affairs aside for the time being. He didn't want to cause any serious conflict at this time, so he hastily issued an imperial decree, which meant peaceful coexistence first.But it was too late. The Qiongnan Kingdom was small and sparsely populated, but the ruler had only changed recently. He was young but had a strong temper. He had already mediated troops and horses there, and was going to practice his hands and feet in the border area first.

The Emperor Dayan had a great defense against the Xijia Kingdom. For a small country like Qiongnan, although there were troops stationed at the border, they didn't take it seriously.This time, Qiongnan sent troops aggressively, and the border guard was caught off guard, and several cities were captured in succession.

Yang Xichu's ascension to the throne is the right time to stand up.When the matter came to an end, he couldn't be taken lightly, so he immediately dispatched troops to compete with Qiongnan Kingdom.

When the news spread, Bei Chenqing was the first to write a petition, willing to bring troops to quell the war. If His Majesty the Emperor approves, he would take the opportunity to wipe out Qiongnan and incorporate Qiongnan's territory into Dayan's territory.

Yang Xi was holding his memorial in the court hall, and was speechless for a long while. After a while, he ordered to leave the court, called Bei Chenqing to the imperial study, and immediately asked: "How long have you been married? Are you in such a hurry to go out?" Are you dissatisfied with Xiaomei? Or are you dissatisfied with me?"

Bei Chenqing said: "Your Majesty, I don't have any feelings of resentment. My former ambition was to one day sweep the world for His Majesty, bring peace to the people, and peace in the world. My ambition remains unchanged now. Therefore, please allow me to lead the troops Go out."

Yang Xi turned around and looked at a fat green plantain outside the window. After a long time, he sighed softly: "You sound nice. You are angry with me, and the little wolf is also angry with me. You are all angry with me. Okay, It's all my fault, I'm sorry."

Bei Chenqing said in a low voice: "No, Your Majesty is serious. I don't know about Little Wolf, but I will never disobey His Majesty's intentions. Only this time, I really want to go. Your Majesty promises me."

Yang Xi turned around, and suddenly smiled slightly: "You can go, but wait for a few days, and it won't be too late when Princess Xiaocen is pregnant."

Bei Chenqing's face turned pale in an instant, he couldn't make any words, Yang Xi stared at him, and said in a low voice: "You haven't been in the same room with her, it must be bad news, and I can't explain it to Lord Cen. You listen to me, wait for her If you’re pregnant, it’s not too late to go. Qiongnan is a tiny place, a small country with few people, nothing to worry about. Go back to your residence first.”

Bei Chenqing was stunned for a moment, but without saying a word, he turned and left, making up his mind to go back to the mansion to give birth.

The war on the border is hanging there.

On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, the battle became urgent again, and Bei Chenqing once again wrote a letter, saying that everything in the Taoist family had been properly arranged, and he asked for orders to go to the border to fight against the enemy.He wrote letters again and again, with such a firm attitude, but Yang Xi ignored him, and sent an imperial doctor to check the pulse of Princess Xiaocen, and confirmed that he was pregnant. His Majesty the Emperor was finally satisfied and approved his memorial. please.

Bei Chenqing packed up his luggage and prepared to lead his troops to the expedition. He counted the date, and on the sixth day of May, three animals were sacrificed to sacrifice the flag, and the army set off.

He has been busy for a few days. Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, Yang Xi has already given a large number of rice dumplings, wormwood and other things for the Dragon Boat Festival to the officials. Many officials and generals who are familiar with him have come to see him off, but Yang Ye has never come to say goodbye to him. .

Bei Chenqing thought for a while, and heard that Yang Ye had returned to Duke Huai's Mansion from Shihua Academy, so he went to visit him.When he arrived at the mansion, he had to report it. Because it was the Dragon Boat Festival, Yang Ye led a group of people out of the south gate early in the morning to go boating on the Luo River.

Bei Chenqing had no choice but to drive to the Luo River again. There was a dragon boat race on the river, which was very lively.He searched all the way, but finally found Yang Ye in a very remote place.

Yang Ye didn't take that gorgeous and comfortable painting boat, but a small boat in a secluded place.He was sitting on the bow of the boat with a large plate of zongzi beside him. He was peeling the zongzi and breaking them into pieces to feed the fish in the water.

Bei Chenqing watched his back for a long time, seeing that he was so focused on feeding the fish that he didn't notice himself, so he couldn't help sighing and jumped into the boat.

The hull sank slightly, Yang Ye finally noticed it, turned around and saw that it was Bei Chenqing, and smiled: "Are you here?" Then he turned his head and continued to feed the fish.

Bei Chenqing said: "I'm leaving tomorrow, leading troops to the Qiongnan border, are you bored in the capital? Do you want to go with me?"

Yang Ye said: "No need, I'm too lazy to move. Besides, even if I want to go, Brother Huang may not agree."

Bei Chenqing said: "He didn't agree even if I went." He paused, then said slowly: "Xiaomei is pregnant, so His Majesty only agreed to let me leave."

Yang Ye said, "Congratulations."

Bei Chenqing said: "Yes, I heard that the queen in the palace is also pregnant. It seems that the Dayan Dynasty will add another prince soon."

Yang Ye said: "That's great, double happiness."

Bei Chenqing approached him slowly, sat down beside him, and saw that there were indeed fishes vying for the zongzi thrown into the water by Yang Ye, and he thought he had been feeding them for quite a while, so he asked, "Feed the fish?" What are you doing?"

Yang Ye said: "I heard that after Dr. Qu Yuan threw himself into the water, the people on both sides of the Boluo River threw zongzi into the water to feed the fish every year on his memorial day, in order to prevent the fish from eating and damaging Dr. Qu's body. This is the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. I just have nothing to do and imitate the pastimes of the ancients."

Bei Chenqing paused, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "I was ordered by His Majesty to force him to throw himself into the river. You...you already know, right?"

Yang Ye didn't say a word, but peeled the zongzi faster, and began to throw the whole dumpling into the water, the plopping sound seemed to hit Beichenqing's face.

Bei Chenqing stretched out his hand to pull his arm: "Little wolf, little wolf, slow down." Yang Ye shook his hand away, and then threw zongzi to feed the fish.

Bei Chenqing was stunned, and said after a while: "You must know."

Yang Ye said coldly: "What do I know? So what if I don't know? The person is gone, and it doesn't make any difference whether I know or not. I was just thinking, if it was so cold and snowing that day, if he choked to death, That's all. If you don't die for a while, you will be chilled in the water..."

He shivered twice, looked at Bei Chenqing's pale face from the side: "Actually, I really don't care. After all, we came here together, right? He is just an outsider, and in your eyes, he will always be an outsider , I can no longer treat it as a baby!"

He threw the rest of the zongzi in, and smashed it in hard, splashing a splash of water, which wet Bei Chenqing's lapel: "Go, I won't go with you, I want to continue feeding the fish .”

Bei Chenqing stopped talking and got up to leave. On the second day, he led his troops to the border.

When Yang Ye returned to the mansion, he felt empty and uncomfortable in his heart. After thinking for a while, he suddenly refused to give up, thinking that since Ling Shu was forced to throw himself into the river instead of committing suicide, there might still be a chance of survival.In private, he quietly asked Zhong Lizhen to send a letter to Jinling Duwei Jun Tianzhe, asking him to find Ling Shu's whereabouts.Jun Tianzhe agreed, and a few months later, the news came that he had sent people to turn over the Yangtze River, but he couldn't find it anywhere.

Yang Ye believed in Jun Wenzhe's ability. Thinking of the bitter north wind that day, Yang Ye gradually became hopeless. He thought that the two of them were bound to each other in this life. In the end, Yin and Yang are separated.
