But when Yang Ji and Empress Xiao left Anren Hall, they walked along the hand-paper corridor to the Ganlu Hall.

Although the two were uncles and sisters-in-law, the ethics of the Sui Dynasty were not as strict as those of Song Ming. The other was that Yang Ji had been with Yang Guang's family since he was a child, so there was no need to avoid anything. When passing by a majestic palace, Empress Xiao suddenly stopped and Yang Ji had to stop.

"Vajra Slave, I have a few words to ask you." Empress Xiao turned her jade face and looked at Yang Ji with beautiful eyes.

It was at dusk after the rain, and the magnificent glow that broke through the clouds shone. Queen Xiao's beautiful and elegant cloud bun, a phoenix-headed golden hairpin, looked shining because it was against the light, and her jade-smoothed face seemed to be covered with a layer of dreamy glow. The eyebrows and eyes were filled with smiles, and the beautiful eyes were vast and smoky waves made people want to turn into a small boat, rippling in the soft waves. A wisp of hair cages on the ears was mottled, and the beaded earrings on the earlobe swayed gently, like the sound of a piano swaying in the hearts. Under the beautiful neck, the light and shadow fell along the collarbone in the chiffon skirt...

At this moment, she seemed to be integrated into the sunset and the evening scenery, which looked very beautiful.

When Yang Ji raised his eyes, he happened to see the beautiful and unspeakable beauty reflected by the golden sunset. Xinzhi couldn't help but feel a moment of loss of consciousness. Fortunately, Yang Ji was not an ordinary person who had seen beauty. In just a moment, he calmed down and said, "Please tell me clearly."

"Vajra Slave, you did a pretty good job when dealing with the children of the royal family and the children of the foreign relatives." The female has a strong sense of perception, and Queen Xiao was staring at Yang Ji, so although Yang Ji reacted quickly, she still captured the moment when her brother-in-law was amazed and lost. A hint of shame and annoyance flashed through her heart:

Just now, Vajra Nu was amazed and lost his mind. He seemed to be still looking down. Could it be that he was looking at himself with the eyes of a man looking at a woman?

No, definitely not. She has long been "old and ugly", and the gaze of King Kongnu must have nothing to do with that.

Queen Xiao quickly dispelled the annoyance in her heart.

In fact, she really wronged Yang Ji. In an instant, Yang Ji was amazed by the sudden beautiful scenery, which was an appreciation of beauty. His loss of mind had nothing to do with men's desire to take possession.

He didn't understand what Queen Xiao meant, so he had to say, "I was just entrusted by someone to be loyal to others, and I can't praise my sister-in-law."

Queen Xiao narrowed her eyebrows and silently for a moment, and said softly: "Vajra Nu, Xiao Huaijing has been in your position for quite some time. Is her actions in line with the rules?"

The Xiao family is a scholarly family, and always prioritizes literature and knowledge, which leads to almost no outstanding generals and talents now. When Xiao Cong was the head of the family, he was moved by the military achievements of the Great Sui Dynasty, and even the Minister of Shang and Prime Minister had to make military achievements, so he asked some children with talented martial arts to abandon literature and martial arts.

Xiao Cong did not require his children to become independent generals and commanders; but at least, everyone must follow the times, learn some skills of leading troops, and understand some common sense of marching and fighting. Otherwise, even if the Xiao family uses their relationship to arrange important positions for them in the future, they will not be able to match their positions. This will not only not benefit the country and the people, but also put the Xiao family in a very passive and embarrassing dilemma.

When the children grew up and achieved success in their studies, Xiao Cong asked them to go to Liangzhou and practice with Yang Ji and Xiao Yu. When Xiao Yu entered the court, these people surrounded Yang Ji and helped Yang Ji take care of some less important things.

Now, Empress Xiao was entrusted by her brother and asked Yang Ji about their situation. The Xiao Huaijing, whom she asked, was the most optimistic person in the Xiao family at this stage. This person is not only the oldest, but also has the potential and talent to become a general.

"Is Xiao Huaijing?" Yang Ji thought for a while and said in a deep thought: "He made some contributions in the battle to recover the Xihai Province; when the battle ended, he was mainly responsible for escorting and guarding the prisoners. When he was rewarded with merit, he was promoted to a general of the Central Army because of his merits. Now, he is in the Xihai Province Office and learns the ability to lead troops with Zhang Xutuo."

Worried that Queen Xiao thought she was throwing her burden, Yang Ji paused and explained: "Sister-in-law, please rest assured that Zhang Xutuo is an incomparable national savage with outstanding talents and good morals. As long as Xiao Huaijing studies hard, he will definitely learn real skills from him. After that, for two or three years in the battle, Xiao Huaijing will be able to lead his troops alone to fight some small-scale battles."

"I know all of this." Queen Xiao looked at Yang Ji with beautiful eyes, pursed her lips and chuckled, "It's thanks to you. If you hadn't been tempering with actual combat, I'm afraid Xiao Huaijing would still be a fool in the capital."

Yang Ji knew that she was a secret saying that she was also a "green man" in the past, and he felt quite embarrassed. He pretended not to know, and skipped the matter directly and said, "I am a wise man for the court and will not leave pearls in the sea. One is out of public interest; the other is to be responsible for the responsibility."

After getting the answer she wanted, Empress Xiao changed a topic and said with some concern: "Vajra Nu, your brother is busy with food and sleep every day because of government affairs, and he doesn't care about himself at all. It's okay for him to be young now. I'm worried that he is overworked and cannot bear it in the future. I also persuade him all the time, but he always puts the 'state affairs first' as a priority. And your words can be used as a hundred words, and the reason is reasonable, which convinces him. I will persuade him more every day to combine work and rest, so that he will not be tired from the official documents and the overwork will become ill in the future."

In fact, Yang Ji also advised him countless times, but Yang Guang heard it at that time, but he still did his own thing afterwards. Of course, Yang Guang had no choice but to do so. Who made him the emperor?

In Yang Guang's own words, it is, "Since he is the emperor, he deserves to be so tired!"

But at this time, he couldn't say that. Yang Ji could only follow Queen Xiao's words: "I know, but I don't stay in the capital all the time. I mainly rely on my sister-in-law to persuade him."

"If he obeyed, I wouldn't be so worried!" Empress Xiao raised her eyes and looked at the sunset in the west, sighed, and said worriedly: "He is not only the lord of the world, but also the pillar of our family, supporting a magnificent and beautiful sky for all of us. There must be nothing wrong."

Yang Ji felt that this was not easy to answer. In a silent state, he suddenly thought of something and reminded him: "Brother is the common ruler of the world. He has done his best to make a big family composed of thousands of small families. He will inevitably neglect the Yang family, and as the head of the palace, his sister-in-law should also do her best to fulfill her responsibilities."

In Yang Ji's opinion, Empress Xiao is good at everything and is very smart, which makes people unable to pick on it. However, because she is very Buddhist, her temperament has become very indifferent and indifferent. Now, except for the occasions that must appear, she basically lives in the palace and rarely even cares about the affairs of the palace, let alone other things.

To put it nicely, she is gentle and virtuous, without utilitarianism, and without ambition; to put it badly, she is irresponsible, and has not fulfilled her position as the queen or the mistress of the family. Any time she shows her 30% determination, skills, and sense of responsibility in Empress Dugu, she will not be seized by the palace clan by the Wei family in "historical".

Regarding this Wei family, history says that when Yang Guang was the King of Jin, she was the female official of the King of Jin. After Yang Guang became emperor, he saw that she was very smart, capable, loyal and reliable, so he promoted her to the palace order step by step.

Gong Ling is the first-rank female official in the palace. The people who hold this position mainly take charge of trivial matters in the harem and hold the phoenix seal for the queen. In the palace, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is below two people, and above ten thousand people. However, although Yang Guang believed in the Wei family and Wei family was also very loyal at the beginning, he did not realize that people's hearts would change with the times. When Wei became the Palace Order, he was no longer the loyal female official in the King of Jin's Mansion.

Once the Wei family gained power, they had great ambitions and gradually undermined the Buddhist Empress Xiao, which led to many things that even Empress Xiao had to listen to her. And the reason why Yang Guang was defeated so quickly and died so miserably in Jiangdu Palace was that Wei family could be called the "first hero".

Just because before the "historical" Jiangdu coup, Yang Guang selected more than a thousand brave and agile servants with high martial arts skills as "supporters" to be responsible for the safety of the palace. However, the powerful Wei family had long colluded with Yu Wen and others, becoming the biggest internal supporter of Yu Wen and "deployment" in the palace. On the day of the incident, Wei family first ordered all "supporters" to leave the palace and changed it to Yu Wen and others to be on duty, resulting in the fact that when the incident happened, there was no "supporters" like a dead soldier in the palace. And she and Yu Wen and the people opened the palace gate, allowing the rebels to easily enter the palace, and soon captured Yang Guang.

When the generals who were sent to Lai Hu'er, Dugu Sheng, Shen Guang and other generals rushed to help, Yu Wen and the major events were settled. Yu Wen "conquered" Jiangdu Palace early, not only caught Yang Guang, but also had a lot of time to deploy troops for him, so that he could easily and calmly attack various reinforcements halfway and defeat them one by one.

In this coup, in addition to the Wei family, there were many court officials directly involved. Therefore, Yang Ji believed that although this was caused by the fall of the tree and the walls, the tall and majestic Jiangdu Palace fell so quickly, and the queen/Empress Xiao of the Palace also had an unshirkable responsibility; if she "fulfilled her duties" and fulfilled her responsibilities as the court mistress, how could Yu Wen and her inner supporters have so many inner supporters? How could the Wei family have the power to change defense?

Indeed, history has become unrecognizable because of his arrival of Yang Ji; and the Jiangdu Palace coup and similar major events will most likely not happen. But if Empress Xiao still does this inaction, sooner or later, the palace will become a concentration camp for spies from various forces, without any secrets. As for the seemingly airtight palace, it will also become a dilapidated thatched hut with "wind" leaks everywhere.

If this is true, even if there was no severe turmoil in the Great Sui Dynasty, it would probably cause a lot of storms.

It is precisely because of the above concern that Yang Ji had to embark on the road of training his sister-in-law.

Empress Xiao was so mysterious that after hearing Yang Ji's words, she immediately "hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning". She was secretly surprised and asked in a suspicious way: "Vajra Slave, is there any rumors outside that target me?"

Yang Ji shook his head: "This is not."

Queen Xiao felt a little relieved. After calming down, she asked Yang Ji again: "Then why... why did you... suddenly persuade me like this?"

Yang Ji's eyes flashed over the bright and radiant Queen Xiao, turned to the magnificent palace complex under the sunset, and said, "The Palace is the power center of the Great Sui Dynasty, and has countless powers worthy of people's yearning for and jealousy. For some people, once they enter the imperial city and become officials, they can become the masters who dominate the lives of countless people. However, the decision is in the hands of the emperor. In order to learn about the emperor's wishes, preferences, and understanding the emperor's political intentions, they often put insiders in the palace. The most common method is to buy eunuchs and palace maids."

"If everyone has this heart and everyone is like this, there is no secret to the palace, and the secret order has not yet been left, it will be known to everyone in the world. It would be fine if someone attempts to murder the emperor and uses the help of the eunuch and the palace maid to assassinate and poison it, that would be a bad idea."

Speaking of this, Yang Ji stared at the boot knife and sweared to death, saying, "Even if it is not successful, as the lord of the palace, the queen is in charge of the world. How will the queen deal with herself and face the emperor after this incident? What do the royal family and the people of the world think? And what will the political enemies of the queen's family do when they are staring at the position of the queen?"

Empress Xiao's eyebrows were deep and her jade face changed slightly. Yang Ji's last words were like a sharp knife, which reached the depths of her heart, almost suffocating her.

He raised his eyes and looked at Yang Ji, then turned to the magnificent sky.

She seemed to be silent and reflecting, but she seemed to be nothing; but because she looked at herself with her jade-like face, Yang Ji couldn't guess whether she could hear it or not, but he believed in the power of these words and the shock and impact that caused to Queen Xiao.

This is enough!

After a while, Queen Xiao did not say a word and walked forward.

Yang Ji had no choice but to follow up.

After passing the outer wall of Anren Hall and about to enter the Ganlu Hall area, a female official and several palace maids walked in front of her from the entrance of the Zhuanshou Parquet that was directly connected to the northern Colorful Silk Courtyard. Behind her was a girl with a palace dress.

The woman is slender and graceful. She is wearing a blue linen dress. A belt with a wide palm strap slim waist is squeezing her slim waist. She walks among the maids in gorgeous palace outfits, looking out of place and unique.

Yang Ji had a very good eye and saw this special existence at a glance.

The girl is as beautiful as a painting, with her eyes scattered with a tear mole hidden in the corner of her eyes. Her face is as white as jade, smooth and flawless, and the diamond lips with a straight nose are graceful and plump; but her whole body is filled with a sad and beautiful temperament, which makes people feel a swearing to protect her.

At this time, she was carrying a big bag and carrying a small bag. The two older palace maids next to her, each carrying a bag, which seemed to be hers.

Seeing this, Yang Ji knew that she was the palace maid who was dismissed, but he didn't care. This was not because he was indifferent, but because the palace had regulations on dismissing palace maids.

This is because 700 to 80% of the palace maids are girls from good families. They were selected into the palace. They were not performed in film and television works for the emperor to play, but came to the palace to work and do odd jobs. The court was also very humane to the number of palace maids who were doing odd jobs, which could delay their marriage. Therefore, it was stipulated that as soon as the age of the palace maids arrived, the institution in charge of the palace affairs would send them home and give them a certain salary.

For palace maids who are homeless or who have already lost their families, they can continue to stay; if they do well, they can also go up step by step. If they want to go out and get married, the "icemen" in the court will match them, and the husbands they find are mainly soldiers. When Empress Dugu was alive, she had held collective weddings for such palace maids and bachelor guards and bachelor soldiers many times (historical records).

As for the particularly foolish "Hou/The Palace Beautiful Three Thousands" theory used to exaggerate the tyrant monarch, it is actually an endless exaggeration; there are indeed many beauties in the palace, but they are far from reaching the terrifying level of "Three Thousand". And the emperor actually has not many palace maids.

Of course, some alternative tyrants among the tyrants are exceptions and can be ignored.

Severance is a normal resignation. Yang Ji was not surprised. What surprised him was that this girl was not only young and very beautiful, but also looked like she was carrying a bag and did not seem to have made a mistake. Why was she dismissed?

If you really want to be dismissed, you should think that it is the other ones! Could it be because it is too beautiful?

Just as his mind was turning lightning, the group of people bowed to Queen Xiao from afar, shouting: "I've seen the Queen."

"No gift!" Empress Xiao walked closer and found the special girl. She was as strange as Yang Ji, and asked the female official: "How old is this woman? Who is the person?"

"Report to the Empress, this girl is sixteen, named Hou Qiaowen." The female official said: "The daughter of the Hou family is from Wu'an County. Her elders later moved to Guanzhong to settle down. However, due to the decline of the family, her parents were absent and her brother and sister-in-law were harsh, she could not survive, so she left home to apply for the election when the palace was proposing a list of palace maids. After entering the palace, she became the female history of Lady Huarong."

After hearing the female official's detailed introduction, Yang Ji could only sigh in his heart: This is another family ethics tragedy that outsiders don't know and know clearly.

"Why did you dismiss her before you reach the age of dismissal?" Queen Xiao saw that the girl was pitiful, and I couldn't help but ask again.

The female official has a relatively high position. She knew Yang Ji. Hearing this, she glanced at Yang Ji, and then said, "Reported to the Empress, the saint, because of his outstanding achievements in King Wei, is loyal to state affairs, and works all night every day, and works in official duties. He specially granted the Hou family to the palace to take care of his daily life. In addition, he was awarded a seventh-rank imperial edict and entered the royal family genealogy."

"Give it to me?" Yang Jiru was killed by thunder, and was stunned for a moment.

"It is given to the king!" The female official nodded with certainty: "We are about to send her to the royal palace."

Yang Ji was stunned. He thought Yang Guang was just talking, but he didn't expect that Yang Guang really wanted him to be a seed of "Ma" that bloomed and scattered leaves. And so quickly, he actually made this daughter of Hou into the genealogy.

Your sister! Yang Guang was obviously afraid that he would not want it and did not want to be a "ma", so he directly came a fait accompli.

No wonder he always felt something was wrong with Yang Guang and had a conspiracy against him. He said, "It's all here?"
