The Great Sui Empire has been in the thirty years of Zhaowu, and it has been thirty years since Yang Yuanqing ascended the throne. The country is prosperous and the people are prosperous and prosperous. After thirty years of hard work, the national strength of the Great Sui Empire has completely restored its strength in the prosperous era of Kaihuang, and the population has been from when Yang Yuanqing ascended the throne.
Twenty million people have recovered to 43 million and more than six million households.
Xizhou Suiye County, this is the westernmost county of the Great Sui Empire. It was guarded by Yang Zhi, the third son of Yang Yuanqing, and garrisoned 80,000 troops.
Suye City is also a transit station for the Silk Road. In the sixth year of Zhaowu, after the complete demise of the Western Turks, the trade on the Silk Road gradually flourished, and Suye City became the largest transit trade city. The city has a mixed population of Hu and Han people.
More than ten million.
That morning, a caravan composed of more than 300 camels slowly entered the city. The leader was a Han man in his thirties. He had a medium figure and big ears, perhaps because of his long-term business.
His skin looked a little dark.
The team stopped in front of a mansion. The man jumped off the camel and ran towards a woman in his fifty years old who was looking at the gate. "Mom, I'm back!"[
The woman was overjoyed, "Sihua, you are finally back. It's been three months since you went there!"
"Mom, my uncle has now been promoted to Minister of War."
"Shh!" the woman whispered: "Don't mention him in front of her father."
The man was so scared that he stuck out his tongue and asked with a smile: "Where is Daddy?"
"Go to Xiling Garden early in the morning, your third brother is here too."
"I'll go find dad, I'll tell you something important."
"go!"
The man did not enter the mansion, so he turned around and ordered the caravan a few words, and hurried to the west of the mansion.
The Xi Cemetery is a private cemetery close to the west wall of the mansion and is also owned by the owner of the mansion.
At this time, the owner of the house, a man in his fifties, was staring at a newly erected tombstone. His hair was gray. Thirty years passed in a flash, making him feel deeply insignificant in the long river of history.
There was a line of small characters engraved on the tombstone, and his brother Yuchi Gongzhi's tomb was stared at it for a long time, and he sighed softly.
"Father, it's going to rain, go back!" a young man next to him whispered.
"Wait a little longer." The man's voice seemed a little old.
At this time, a man named Sihua walked into the cemetery. When the young man saw him, he said in surprise: "Father, the eldest brother is back."
Sihua hurried forward, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, "The child is unfilial and cannot be taken care of by his father."
"stand up!"
A loving smile appeared on the man's face, "You seem to be a little darker."
"Father, the child has met Yang Yuanqing."
Hearing the name Yang Yuanqing, the man's face slightly darkened, but he was a little nervous and asked as calmly as possible: "What did he say?"[
"He said that the fallen leaves return to their roots and agreed to his father return to his hometown."
The man's eyes suddenly turned red. After thirty years, can he finally go back?
He looked at the tombstones again and whispered to himself, "Brothers, I will take you back together."
.........
Chang'an, the Hongnong County Prince's Mansion in Wubenfang, was originally Yang Su's Yue Prince's Mansion, and now it is the mansion of Yang Wei, the head of the Hongnong Yang family.
In the seventh year of Zhaowu, Yang Wei and his son-in-law, the left guard general Qin Huaiyu, led his army to attack the Khitan rebellion in the north, destroyed the Khitan and Shiwei, and made great contributions. Yang Wei was appointed as the General of the Cavalry and was promoted to Hongnong County as a royal family.
king.
At this time, the outside of the mansion was under strict security, and thousands of Yulin troops blocked the streets that were coming and going, and strangers were not allowed to approach the West Courtyard.
In a small courtyard in the west courtyard, it still maintains its appearance as before. The courtyard was renovated a few years ago, and the old ones were restored, but the style was still there.
The big dustpan for Niu Niu practicing martial arts is still placed in the corner of the wall. The small tree where Yang Yuanqing practiced swords when he was three years old has grown into a towering tree.
In the yard, Yang Yuanqing and Chuchen, who had white hair, supported each other, silently staring at the small courtyard where they lived when they were young. Sixty years have passed.
In the old scene sixty years ago, a little girl with white carvings rode a circle of bamboo horses in the yard. Suddenly, she saw a little boy tilting his head to look at him, and she also tilted her head to look at him with a smile.
Yuan Qing fell in love with her all of a sudden, "What's your name?"
"My name is Niu Niu, where are you?"
"My name is Yuanqing!"
Sixty years have passed, and the dead have passed, and only the living have cherished each other. Yang Yuanqing picked up an old little bamboo horse from the corner, handed it to Chuchen, and smiled and said, "If there is still reincarnation, I really want to see it."
You ride it again.”
Chuchen smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you ride a bamboo horse and make green plums around the bed? I hope you ride it to me."
The two looked at each other and showed warm smiles, and their hands were tightly clasped together.
