Chapter 430: The Yang family is unwilling to accept it

Huaqing Palace in Mount Li, this is the palace where the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty took a winter vacation and handled court affairs. In the history of the Middle Tang Dynasty, a rich and colorful stroke was written here, "I was given a bath in Huaqing Pond in the spring cold, and the hot spring water was washed with grease." With the end of that romantic history, Huaqing Palace also became deserted. It no longer had any political significance, and no court officials came here to discuss military and national affairs. It has gradually been forgotten.

At this time, in the Huaqing Palace, except for more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids who were in charge of the palace, there was only one person closely related to its fate in the huge palace complex, and a weak woman who cut off the prosperous fireworks in Chang'an.

There is only one battalion stationed near Huaqing Palace, with less than 500 soldiers.

That morning, two carriages appeared far away on the official road. Following dozens of horse-riding families, as the carriage slowly approached Huaqing Palace, the curtains were opened, revealing Yang Huahua's charming and still-beautiful face. But if you look closely, you will find that her face has become much haggard. Li Yu's restructuring of the land had brought a heavy blow to her. The 1.5 million chunks of money she hid in the farm were also taken away by Li Yu. She did not care about the life and death of the Yang family, but she could not accept the huge losses of her own money. She could not refuse the name of Lady Guo, but money was her lifeblood.

At this moment, Yang Huahua looked at the eaves of the palace hidden in the jungle in the distance with complex eyes. Although she was not very sure about this trip, she would give it a try anyway.

Sitting opposite her was her second sister Yang Yupei, the former Korean lady. She was taken away from her MG and her husband lost her official position. Not only that, the 100,000 yuan she hid in Yanghuahua's farm was also snatched away by the officers and soldiers. Yang Yupei was extremely depressed. This was the pension money she had saved for frugality, which made her almost collapse. She originally wanted to find her daughter who was the imperial concubine, but there was news in the palace that her daughter might be deposed due to the Yang family's involvement, which scared her not to go to the palace to find her daughter. Helplessly, she had to come to find her third sister. Yang Huahua was going to Huaqing Palace, so she came with her.

"San Sister, do you think Yuhuan is willing to stand up for us?"

Yang Yupei was worried. Based on her intuition, she would not have much gains in this trip. Their fourth sister was willing to give up even the imperial concubine. Will she help them again?

"This is not a question of whether she is willing to do it, it is something she has to do."

Yang Huahua thought about her wealth and fertile land being taken away. She gritted her teeth and said, "As long as she is still a member of the Yang family, she must stand up for us. We were rich because of her. Now that our Yang family is in decline, how can she leave it alone?"

"But...."

Yang Yupei also wanted to say that Li Longji might have no choice, but Yang Huahua's increasingly gloomy face was swallowed again without saying anything.

At this time, their housekeeper had already negotiated with the garrison soldiers of Huaqing Palace. The soldiers let their carriage go. Yang Huahua looked at the figure on a big tree. After a long time, she said lightly: "As long as she wants to take care of it, there is nothing she can't do."

In a Taoist temple in the northeast corner of the Huaqing Palace, Yang Yuhuan was holding a handful of wheat in his hand to feed more than a dozen magpies. Two squirrels were jumping up and down on a big tree close to the window, waiting for the two corn cakes behind Yang Yuhuan.

"Don't worry, I'll feed you after I finish feeding the magpies." Yang Yuhuan said to the squirrel with a smile.

She was wearing a white Taoist robe, her black hair was scattered on her shoulders, and her face was not covered with any makeup, but her skin was still white, tender and delicate, and her appearance was pretty and charming. She washed her hair all over, giving her a bit of elegance that was beyond the mortal world.

After staying in Huaqing Palace for more than a year, Yang Yuhuan has become accustomed to the quietness and elegance here, taking squirrels as their younger brothers and magpies as their sons, and living a simple life. Although Li Yu gave her the entire Huaqing Palace as a place to rest, Yang Yuhuan has never left this Taoist temple. Those hot spring palaces are already a distant past for her. She just wants to spend the second half of her life peacefully here and is unwilling to ask about the grudges and hatreds.

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and the maid Xue Niang, who had been following Yang Yuhuan, walked in quickly, "Real person!"

She shouted, and more than a dozen magpies flew away in fear. Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but complain: "Why are you so anxious? You scared them away."

Xue Niang smiled helplessly and said, "There are customers looking for you."

"Guest?" Yang Yuhuan shook his head and said, "Didn't I say that I will see no one except Li Qing'an?"

"The real person is the second and third ladies."

Yang Yuhuan hasn't seen several of her sisters in nearly two years, including her elder sister, who died of illness, and she has not attended the funeral. She thought about it and nodded and said, "Take them to my outhouse to wait."

After all, she was a sister, so she had to see her. Yang Huahua put the wheat and millet cakes into a large wooden plate outside the window, washed her hands, and hurried to the outer room.

Yang Huahua and Yang Yupei have been led into the room. They were looking around at the room. The room was arranged in an extremely simple manner. A statue of Laojun and a few cushions. There was nothing but that. Xue Niang brought a small table from the inner room and arranged three cushions on both sides of the table. She smiled at them and said, "Please sit down, two ladies! I'll pour you tea."

Yang Yupei frowned and said, "The fourth sister is a little too simple here! She is really born."

Yang Huahua seemed to smell something. Her eyes wandered around and finally caught a vase on the windowsill, with several fragrant jasmine flowers inserted into it. She couldn't help but say coldly: "Although she is born, her heart may not be."

At this time, footsteps came from outside the yard. Yang Yuhuan walked in and said with a smile: "Two sisters, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Fourth sister!"

Yang Yupei's eyes turned red, she stepped forward and held Yang Yuhuan's hand, and said with a sob: "Fourth sister, you must help your sister."

"Second sister, third sister, you sit down first, let's talk slowly."

The three sisters sat down, Xue Niang brought out three cups of tea and served them tea. Yang Yuhuan glanced at Yang Huahua and smiled and said, "Sister Three, why haven't you talked?"

Yang Huahua smiled faintly and said, "I am envious of your tranquility and leisure. Unlike us ordinary people, we are busy working hard for a little life-saving food all day."

"Sister Is really good at joking. You are the dignified Lady of Guoguo, with a huge family fortune. Will you still worry about food and clothing?"

Yang Huahua and Yang Yupei looked at each other. It turned out that their fourth sister didn't know that something happened to the Yang family at all. Yang Huahua shook her head and said, "From ten days ago, I am no longer a lady of Guo State, and your second sister is not a lady of Han. The tombstone of the Qin State was also smashed. There were only three civilian women. The second brother went to see the King of Hell. The only official in the Yang family was your third brother Guozhong. However, he changed from Yang Youping to Yang Sima and was about to go back to his hometown to take office. Our family's wealth was taken away. On the way, I discussed with your second sister how to make a living. Your second sister was going to wash clothes for the man. My Yang Huahua would still go back to his hometown to farm and be a peasant woman."

Yang Yuhuan didn't say anything for a while, and her eyes felt sad and she said, "I didn't expect that my second brother would die. I would recite scriptures and pray for him."

"Fourth sister!"

Yang Huahua was a little unhappy. After talking so much, she only cared about dead people and left the living people alone?

"Don't pretend to be confused. We are here to find you today. You know more about what's going on in your heart?"

Yang Yuhuan shook his head, "I really don't know what else you have to come to me. The three of us sisters have not seen each other for almost two years. Do you have to have something to come and see me before you can see me?"

At this time, Yang Yupei couldn't help but say, "Fourth sister, our Yang family was defeated, he was dismissed from his post, and his family's wealth was confiscated. The first family in the Tang Dynasty that year was in such a miserable situation, are you really indifferent and stay out of the matter?"

Yang Yuhuan's eyes fell on a few apricot trees in the yard, staring at the small green apricots all over the trees. After a while, she whispered: "Spring comes, flowers bloom, spring goes, flowers fade, flowers are impermanent, people are impermanent, people are precious, although flowers are no longer there, but green apricots are left. Although there is no wealth, people are safe and sound. The Yang clan has been able to extend. I thought this was the blessing of the Yang family. I had sought it so many years ago, but now it has finally come true. It should be a great joy."

Without speculation, Yang Huahua browed and held back her breath and said, "It would be fine if she was not a wife of the country. The fertile land was taken away by the government and distributed to the civilians. We also recognized it. However, the government took away millions of our property. Those wealth was not secretly robbed. Some were given by the late emperor, and some were earned by us through business. It was all clean money. The government should give it to us! Fourth sister, no matter whether you are a nun or a female Taoist priest, you are a member of the Yang family after all. The whole family of the Yang family is counting on you. Do you really have the will to kick the Yang family that gave birth to you and raised you?"

Yang Yupei next to him also advised: "Yes! The fourth sister just goes to Xingqing Palace to find the late emperor, let him be nostalgic for the past, say something for our Yang family, get back what we deserve, and then if you leave your home, we will never disturb you again, Fourth sister, Second sister beg you."

Yang Yuhuan was silent for a while, she slowly shook her head and said, "I have nothing to do with Xingqing Palace. Even if I have anything to do, the late emperor will not help you. If the priests still have a little fear, you will not be so miserable. Don't you understand this simplest truth?"

Yang Yupei's eyes were filled with disappointment. In fact, she thought of this when she discussed with her husband last night. If the emperor still had a little bit of the old love for the late emperor, he would never touch the Yang family. Since the Yang family has been defeated, what's the use of finding the late emperor? Her 100,000 ounces of money!

Yang Huahua didn't show any expression. She knew better than anyone else what kind of ability the immortals would have. She came to Yang Yuhuan today, and she would definitely not ask her to find Li Longji.

"Sister Four, I will only ask you one thing, are you willing to help the Yang family once? The last time."

Yang Yuhuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not whether I'm willing to help you, but I can't do anything."

"The fourth sister means that you are still willing to help the Yang family once?" Yang Huahua pressed step by step.

Yang Yuhuan was forced to nod and nodded, "I have become a monk now. The only way I can help the Yang family is to recite scriptures and pray for my family day and night."

"No! You still have the ability to help us, just to see if you are willing to do it. I am not talking about Xingqing Palace. I didn't expect that ruthless old guy at all. I am talking about another person."

After saying that, Yang Huahua's eyes stared at Yang Yuhuan. Seeing a trace of unnatural flashing in Yang Yuhuan's eyes, she couldn't help but feel proud. How could Yang Huahua do something she was unsure of?

Yang Yupei next to him was stunned. Who is the third sister referring to? Could it be that she is talking about her daughter?

Yang Yuhuan bit his lips gently and said, "Sister Three, I don't understand what you are talking about?"

"You know, you know more than anyone else."

After saying that, Yang Huahua drank the cup of tea and stood up and said, "Okay, we won't disturb you from practicing cultivation. Whether you can help the Yang family or not, you were the ones you recruited us to Beijing and you brought us to heaven. Now you have let us fall down heavily. If you don't want to take this responsibility, it's up to you. I can only say that this is our life. Second sister, let's go!"

Yang Huahua pulled Yang Yupei and walked out, listening to her loudly from a distance: "Second sister, do you know someone is staring at us? As long as we act a little disrespectful, we will immediately fall to the ground. Do you believe it?"

"Sister Three, I don't understand what you are talking about?"

"You don't understand, but someone understands!" Yang Huahua laughed like a wind.

Yang Yuhuan suddenly felt exhausted. She waved her hand gently and said to the maid Xue Niang, "Go! Close the door and don't bother me."

She sighed softly.

At noon, an astonishing news came from the Daming Palace. The emperor Li Yu formally issued an order to appoint the governor of Anxi. King Zhao Li Qing'an was the right prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the ruling minister, and also served as the Minister of Personnel, officially replacing Yang Guozhong. Li Qing'an was still the Great Protector of Anxi and the governor of Anxi, and did not take away his military power.

This news shocked the court and the people. It was not that the border officials could not serve as prime ministers. Niu Xianke, the governor of Hexi, became the left prime minister. When Li Linfu was the right prime minister, he also served as the governor of Shuofang and the governor of Anxi. The distinction between civil and military in the Tang Dynasty was not so strict, and there were many examples of civil servants being able to fight wars.

The key point is that while Li Qing'an was the right prime minister, he was also in charge of the governor of Anxi, which means that he not only did not lose military power, but also held the prime minister's power. This is really a powerful situation that the government and the people have taken over the military and political power together, which is the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

At one time, the people of the court and the opposition were discussed, and there were many supporters. The opponents were mainly concentrated among high-ranking officials and powerful people. Li Qing'an restricted the fields in Anxi to abolish slaves and let them not have any illusions about Li Qing'an, while the supporters were mainly concentrated among middle- and low-level officials and the vast majority of civilians. They did not care who was in power. They only care about whether their salary and rice can be paid in full, and only care about whether the food prices in Chang'an can remain stable. Li Qing'an is in power. Anxi silver dollars will inevitably roll in, and Anxi army will inevitably enter Guanzhong. This is a great good thing.

When it was almost dark, a carriage drove into the gate of the Dayefang in Chang'an under the protection of hundreds of guards. The carriage lasted several miles and finally stopped in front of a mansion. This mansion was the mansion of Linghu Fei, the former minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Linghu Fei is Yang Guozhong's number one confidant and his most trusted strategist. Ten days ago, Yang Guozhong was demoted to the right prime minister, and Linghu Fei was also removed from the position of Minister of Personnel. He was idle at home. The mansion was originally full of traffic and was very lively, but now it has become neglected in front of the door.

The carriage stopped in front of Linghu Fei's mansion. A guard rushed up the steps and bowed to the doorman and asked, "Is the envoy Linghu at home?"

The concierge glanced at the carriageway with the closed curtains in confusion, "My master is at home, may I ask you guys..."
