In the assassination and rebellion cases, the He Ruobi clan was exterminated; Dugutuo, who collaborated with the Turks, was beheaded, and his descendants were exiled to Jiaozhou and were never allowed to return to the court; Yuan Yan, Dou Yi and others secretly hid weapons and equipment, and the evidence was conclusive, and they were also sentenced to death.

Their descendants were exiled to Yizhou and Guazhou as slaves respectively; Dugushun

He Yuanzhou, Yu Wenbi and others failed to report the knowledge, and they and their immediate family members were deprived of all positions by the court and demoted to common people. In addition, dozens of officials from the Ministry of War who were suspected of withholding military information were punished by one clan, and their relatives within the three clans.

They were exiled to various remote, barren and backward border areas.

This is also because the Sui Dynasty revised the law and deleted many crimes of association. If the dynasties before the Sui Dynasty encountered such a bad rebellion, even if they did not end up killing the nine tribes, at least three or five tribes would have to be punished.

.

When the imperial court posted the notice on the official and square walls, it caused an uproar in the whole city. The common people were red-faced and excited, scolding these people and wishing to kill these people themselves.

From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the present, northern lands such as Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou have been ravaged by Rouran and Turkic cavalry for a long time. The Sui Dynasty finally gained the upper hand and beat the arrogant Turkic Khanate to pieces.

, were unable to invade south. But now, some high-ranking officials colluded with the Turks to invade the south of the Sui Dynasty. They also withheld military information and ambushed the envoys, hoping that the Sui Dynasty would be defeated.

This time it was good luck. If Yang Ji, the king of Wei, had not risked his life and death, attacked the Great Lakes area, and wiped out the Turkic army north of Datong City, the Sui Dynasty would not have known how much losses it would have suffered, and how many innocent people would have died in the Turkic

How can the people in the north, who have finally had a stable life for several years, not be angry under the iron cavalry?

When the time came the next morning, while ordinary people were still talking angrily about this matter with their neighbors in the streets and alleys, the minds and eyes of the powerful Sui Dynasty were focused on the birthday banquet of Princess Yang Lihua of Leping.

At the birthday party of Princess Yang Lihua of Leping, the people coming and going were either princes, ministers, dignitaries, aristocratic families, famous people, or just talkative celebrities. Naturally, they couldn't have a large banquet like the nouveau riche, with big fish and meat for everyone to eat and drink, so she will

His birthday banquet was arranged in the Furong Building, where literati and elegant people gathered, instead of the restrictive Princess Mansion.

Naturally, the purpose of the guests at the banquet was not to eat and drink. In addition to showing their goodwill to Princess Leping, their main purpose was to take advantage of this opportunity to get to know some high-ranking people. As long as you get to know one more person, you will have an open road, which money can also buy.

The personal connections that don’t come.

Therefore, those who were invited, or those who gave gifts uninvited, attached great importance to this banquet, and rushed to the Furong Pond early in the morning dressed in fine clothes and carrying generous gifts.

Yang Ji was no exception. He got up early in the morning to practice martial arts, then took a cold bath, put on an "ordinary" blue light shirt, a gold crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, a bronze face, long eyebrows on his temples, and a pair of

black eye paint

It is dark and deep, with neither the domineering aura of looking down on the world nor the unparalleled grace of being alone. A few strands are floating on both sides of the face and blowing in the wind. It has a detached and unrestrained demeanor that is beyond the world of mortals. Looking at it, it looks like a graceful noble man in troubled times.

As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. When Yang Ji went to join Xiao Ying, who had come earlier, she, Zhang Chuchen, Liu Rumei, and Murong Xianyue who were waiting outside were immediately stunned.

In the past, Yang Ji either wore a short game, a warrior uniform, or a court uniform for going to court. Although he was dressed in this type of clothing when he first met Xiao Ying in Yang Su's house, he was a playboy at that time, and his temperament was completely different from now.

It's different. With his current clothes and his aristocratic temperament, his whole person seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

"How about it? Do you want to swallow me in one gulp?" Yang Ji asked with a smile: "No problem, I'll give you a chance."

Zhang Chuchen, Liu Rumei, and Murong Xianyue immediately lowered their heads shyly, not daring to look any further. Xiao Ying blushed and said, "Mr. Lang, it turns out that the Confucian scholar's uniform is the most suitable for you."

Yang Ji laughed and said very smugly: "The main thing is to look at people. If Zhu Can wears these clothes, he won't be able to wear this kind of clothes. But even if I wear beggar-like clothes, I can still wear it."

"The people in Mo are like jade, and the gentleman's magnanimity is unparalleled in the world."

"What a poem!" Xiao Ying's eyes lit up and she smiled sweetly: "This poem is tailor-made for Mr. Lang."

"That's necessary." Yang Ji looked at Xiao Ying seriously, his eyes showing surprise.

Xiao Ying wore a thin white silk top with narrow sleeves and a skirt of the same color underneath. A white belt embroidered with orchids tied her waist tightly, making her slender waist and towering breasts outline a seductive figure.

Her curves, her fair and tender face was illuminated by the rising sun, exuding a soft and bright jade light, so beautiful that it was flawless. Coupled with her bright and bright eyes, which were as bright as water, they were full of soft silk at this time.

Although she has a hot figure, Xiao Ying's temperament is elegant and quiet, her aura is like water, and she is as elegant as a snow lotus.

Such an extremely contradictory body shape and charm finally shaped Xiao Ying into a life-threatening beauty and fairy.

Is it okay to marry into the Yang family and become a young woman?

Xiao Yingyan smiled, and her fair and rosy face turned even redder. As the saying goes, women should look good to themselves. When she saw Yang Ji's stunning eyes, she knew that the whole morning's hard work had not been in vain, and she was very happy.

But she was a little worried about dressing up inappropriately, so she quickly hid her breasts. This was what made her most dissatisfied. Even though she tightly bound her breasts, they were still so high, which simply annoyed him to death.

Then he looked up at Yang Ji and asked cautiously: "Lang Jun, is it okay for me to do this?"

Women in the nobility pay more attention to details than men. When he met Yang Jian, he sometimes gave a military salute, sometimes bowed, sometimes cupped his hands and cupped his fists, and sometimes he didn't even bother to salute, and his pace and width were extremely casual. This kind of thing is also

No one cares about it. But women can't. What they focus on are etiquette details, clothing and hairstyle, conversation and grooming. If someone makes a slight mistake, at least he will be laughed at, or at worst, the whole circle will talk about it, making it so

People cannot hold their heads high in a circle.

But she was in contact with girls of the same age among the nobility, and they were all lively girls. As long as there were no unforgivable mistakes, no one would say anything. But Yang Lihua sent her a special invitation yesterday, which was not done before.

The thing that I dare not hope for is obviously because of my future sister-in-law, and has little to do with Xiao Ying. There must be many gossipy women at the birthday banquet, so Xiao Ying can't help but worry.

"It's good." Yang Ji reluctantly moved his eyes away from Xiao Ying's chest, and softly comforted her: "My wife is perfect, just be as usual."

As the daughter of an emperor, Xiao Ying has received the best scholarly education and the best etiquette since she was a child, so she knows books and etiquette, is luxurious and generous; plays chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and book etiquette, female workers embroidery, and housekeeping skills.

Proficient in everything, he can write it casually

She is good at calligraphy and can compose a short poem with a pen. She is a model of being able to go to the hall, go to the kitchen, and enter the study room. She was taken care of by my mother for more than half a year, and many housekeeping theories were put into practice, which made her grow rapidly.

, it is not too much to describe her as perfect.

There are five surnames and seven sects. Girls from aristocratic families have come this way. They have only two destinations. The first is to marry with other aristocratic families to form a family-like group with shared interests of honor and disgrace; the second is to be betrothed to potential children of small and medium-sized aristocratic families.

Scholars from poor families and officials from poor families used these elites for their own purposes and strengthened the family's reputation.

It's just that Xiao Ying is a young girl after all, and the people she will face may be some smart ladies. She doesn't have much confidence in her heart, and she will become more comfortable with it after more times.

"Then I'm relieved!" Xiao Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Yang Ji's words.

Yang Ji looked at the rosewood box held tightly by Xiao Ying's two maids, and said with a smile: "Sister Leping is a noble woman. She doesn't like gold and silver treasures, but only loves things like literature and art. What gifts have you prepared?

?Would you like Master to prepare one?"

"I also know Princess Leping's preferences!" Xiao Ying pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Brother gave me Mrs. Wei's "Ming Ji Tie" and Wang Xizhi's "Seventeen Tie"."

Nanliang once occupied half of the country and was very prosperous in the hands of Xiao Yan. After the destruction of Nanliang, many officials and soldiers loyal to Nanliang fled to Jingzhou with their palace treasures. Xiao Ying's grandfather Xiao Jin established it with the support of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Xi Liang became a vassal of the Western Wei Dynasty, and Yang Jian later

The Xiliang Kingdom was abolished and the Xiliang Kingdom was destroyed. It existed for a total of 32 years. However, because Xiao Ying's brother Huizong and Emperor Jing Xiao Cong cooperated very well, Yang Jian did not deprive them of their family property, so Xiao Cong had Mrs. Wei's "Famous Name" in his possession.

Ji Tie" and Wang Xizhi's "Seventeen Tie" are not surprising.

Yang Ji breathed a little quickly and asked, "Is it authentic?"

Needless to say, Wang Xizhi is the sage of calligraphy, but Mrs. Wei was Wang Xizhi's master. Although Wang Xizhi later became more talented than his master, and was far more famous than Mrs. Wei. But Mrs. Wei's calligraphy style is unique, with each stroke like a flower-arranging dancer, with a low and high attitude.

cosmetic;

Another example is the beauty on the stage, the fairy's shadow, the red lotus reflecting the water, and the floating clouds on the green marsh. This extremely meticulous brushwork is known as hairpin small regular script. What's rare is that her handed down works are even rarer than Wang Xizhi's. If both of them are

It's an authentic work, and Yang Ji doesn't plan to give it away.

After hearing his words, Xiao Ying immediately opened her big, watery eyes, looked at Yang Ji strangely, and said, "It must be an authentic work, otherwise why would I have the nerve to give it to Princess Leping."

"If my gift is not as valuable as yours, how can I get it?" Yang Ji angrily said to Xiao Ying who looked stunned: "As a punishment for you, I confiscated these two words and made a new copy of the gift."

Xiao Ying was stunned for a long time, then suddenly smiled, her dark and bright eyes full of intelligence, and said with joy, "My husband has said so, and I can't help it. I accept the punishment."

She has been copying "Ming Ji Tie" since she was a child, and her best calligraphy is hairpin small regular script. She loves this calligraphy very much and is reluctant to give it away. The palace is her future home, so she keeps these two calligraphy here.

It was safer than at Xiao's house. When Yang Ji said this, he happily accepted the punishment.

Next to them, Zhang Chuchen, Liu Rumei, and Murong Xianyue all started laughing.

Yang Ji glared at them, couldn't help but laugh, and ordered: "Go to the Master and ask him to prepare another gift."

"Here." The three of them bowed and left with Xiao Ying's maid.

Yang Ji smiled broadly, and Xiao Ying, who smiled like a little fox, said, "The banquet is just for fun. Let's go there after breakfast to avoid being hungry."

Looking at the red sandalwood box that Lang Jun snatched, Xiao Ying happily helped to get one, and chuckled: "Then let's go to Grandma's yard!"

"Aniang went to Liangzhou early in the morning. We can just have dinner here."

With the acquisition of Tingzhou and Yizhou, the ancient Silk Road was suddenly connected. If you start from Zhangye in Ganzhou, you will go to Guazhou and Yizhou in the west, and reach Gaochang State in the Western Regions. Compared with going north from Zhangye to Yanze, and then from Dazhou

The detour to the same city was shortened by several hundred to the west, nearly a thousand miles away. I was worried that others would seize the opportunity, so I led a team to Liangzhou for inspection early in the morning. Using the palace's business to help Yang Ji build political achievements was also a development that their mother and son had decided on before.

strategy.

Yang Ji is now the local emperor of Liangzhou, and he is in charge of the Hexi Corridor and border areas. In the future, the mother and son will collude with government officials and businessmen. How can the majority of the business roads fall into the hands of others?

"That's good, we can reunite with my mother-in-law in Ganzhou." Xiao Ying happily followed Yang Ji to the dining hall of the main courtyard.

Breakfast is relatively simple. The purple clay pot is filled with fragrant Bijing chicken porridge, and the Yue kiln white porcelain plate with warm color is filled with green vegetables. They were picked from the backyard vegetable garden early in the morning. They are extremely fresh and the color is like ice.

There are various snacks on the colorful porcelain plates, as well as green lotus steamed cakes baked early in the morning, and then deer

Preserved meat, preserved red worm...the amount of dishes is not large, but the various dishes include boiling, roasting, grilling, roasting, blanching, stir-frying, deep-frying, steaming, preserved meat, pickling, pickled pork and other cooking methods. The dishes are not only delicious, but also delicious.

Moreover, it is extremely beautiful and neatly placed in exquisite porcelain. The sight of it makes people salivate in the mouth and increase appetite.

Sitting at the table, Yang Ji was like a diligent gardener dealing with pests, concentrating on destroying the delicious food on the plate. It wasn't until he was half full that he realized that Xiao Ying had stopped eating with jade chopsticks at some point, and watched him eat with eager eyes.

Something. Yang Ji swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "Why don't you eat it, madam? Is it because it doesn't suit your taste?"

He had lived in the Sui Dynasty for more than ten years, and some things were quietly changing. For example, in terms of dishes, the cooks in the palace were now studying new dishes every day, just for stir-fry dishes.

With its variety and unique taste, it is no exaggeration to say that it is unrivaled in the world. From here, stir-fried dishes spread to the palaces, princes' and princesses' palaces, so stir-fried dishes are no longer a rare dish in the homes of powerful people.

"There are a lot of delicious foods at home, and I'm not picky about food. I can eat anything." Xiao Ying smiled sweetly: "I just like to watch you eat."
