Qin Qiong brought Cheng Yaogang back from the wine shop. Although Yang Yuanqing asked them to move to his house, several of them didn't want to go. Mainly because they had many friends living in the inn, so moving to Yang Yuanqing's house was too deserted for them.

"Brother Qin, I actually think it's good to live in Yuanqing's mansion. It's more spacious there and has a private courtyard. If you want to be lively, you can go to Pingkangfang for a drink. Why don't everyone want to go?"
Cheng Yaojin was actually very tempted. He wanted to move to Yang Yuanqing's house, but everyone else refused to go, so he had no choice but to follow the crowd, saying that he liked the excitement.
Qin Qiong smiled slightly and said, "Actually, the reason why everyone doesn't want to go is not because they like the excitement, because during the martial arts examination period, everyone is worried about living in Yuanqing Mansion, causing some rumors, and worrying about being detrimental to Yuanqing, so I discussed it with Xiongxin
After thinking for a while, I decided not to live in Yuanqing Mansion."
"But you didn't discuss it with me." Cheng Yaojin said a little depressed.
Qin Qiong patted him on the shoulder, "You can go! We didn't take you into consideration. You can move there. I think it doesn't matter if you move there, anyway."
"Anyway, what?" Cheng Yaojin stared at Qin Qiong warily.
"nothing!"
Qin Qiong smiled slightly, "You can move if you want!"
"I know what you want to say anyway. Anyway, I, Cheng, have no hope of taking the martial arts exam and won't be able to cause any rumors."
Cheng Yaojin was very depressed and said lazily, "Forget it, I'm not happy to move alone. The young couple live in a big house and love each other. What's the point of me getting in the way?"
The two of them had already reached the door of the inn. At this moment, the innkeeper rushed over and said nervously, "Master Qin, someone is looking for you. Come quickly."
Qin Qiong was startled, "Who is looking for me?"
"I'm looking for you!"
A twenty-four or five-year-old man came out of the "men" of the inn. He was Yuwen Zhiji, the son of Yuwen Shu. In the past two years, Yuwen Zhiji had been promoted because of Yuwen Wenji. With his identity, he acted a little more restrained.
Wuji no longer allowed himself to be as "dang" as before. His brother Yuwen Zhiji took over his banner as the third most evil person in the capital and bullied male tyrants in the capital. He committed all kinds of evil and had a very bad reputation.
Yuwen Zhiji was dressed in a brocade robe, a golden crown on his head, and a sword on his waist. He looked very arrogant. He was followed by more than a dozen followers. He stepped forward and looked at Qin Qiong disdainfully, "Are you Qin Qiong from Licheng County?"
Qin Qiong was a very cautious person. When he saw these entourages, all of whom were dressed in gorgeous clothes, he knew that the person coming was not an ordinary person. He got off his horse, cupped his hands and said, "This is Qin Qiong."
"You come with me!"
Yuwen Zhiji waved his hand and said, "Take him away!"
Before Qin Qiong could question, Cheng Yaojin got angry first, "Even if you don't poop when you go to the latrine, you still have to fart! What is this?"
When Yu Wen Zhiji heard that he was speaking rudely, he couldn't help but became furious and shouted, "Hit me!"
The entourage rushed forward to attack Cheng Yaojin, but Qin Qiong hurriedly stopped him, "Everyone, everyone, if you have something to say, this brother here is a rough man, and I will apologize to everyone."
He saluted Yuwen Zhiji and said, "Young Master Yaliang, please forgive my brother for being rude!"
Yuwen Zhiji glanced at Cheng Yaojin coldly. He was anxious to take Qin Qiong back and his father replied, temporarily sparing Cheng Yaojin.
"For the sake of your courtesy, I will spare this black coal. You come with me. My father wants to see you."
"May I ask who your father is?"
"My father is General Zuowu Wei Yuwen."
Qin Qiong was stunned. It was Yu Wenshu. What was he looking for? Could it be that the case of killing King Qi's entourage had been reported again? When he thought about it, it was impossible. Even if it was that case, it was not Yu Wenshu's turn to ask him in person.
.
Seeing Qin Qiong's hesitation, Yuwen Zhiji said impatiently, "Qin Qiong, it's a good thing to find you. Why are you hesitating? Come with me!"
Cheng Yaojin reacted very quickly to this kind of thing. He immediately screamed, "Brother Qin, I guess you want to change your name to Yu Wenqiong."
Qin Qiong's face changed drastically, she took a step back suddenly, stared at Yuwen Zhiji and asked, "General Yuwen, do you want to admit that I am a fake?"
Yu Wenzhi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What's wrong with being a pretender to my Yuwen family? I guarantee you to pass the martial arts examination, and I guarantee you to be promoted and make a fortune. Look at Yuwen Chengdu, isn't that just being a faker to my Yuwen family?"
Son, now I have become the Right Guard General. Others want to do it, but they haven’t had the chance yet! Stop being so nagging and come with me quickly."
Qin Qiong shook his head, "Qin Qiong is the only son in the family and will not change his ancestor's surname. Please tell General Yuwen that Qin Qiong thanks him for his kindness, but I cannot accept his order!"
Yu Wen Zhiji became a little angry and pointed at Qin Qiong and yelled, "Qin, you don't have to drink wine as a penalty. It's your honor that my father has taken a liking to you. If you don't want to, be careful about your life!"
Qin Qiong said nothing and looked at him coldly. At this time, more and more people came out of the inn. Most of them were warriors from various places. They all glared at them. Yuwen Zhiji only brought a dozen followers with him today.
It was a little short, and he was afraid of suffering a loss in the fight, so he had to say bitterly, "Qin, just wait and see, if you pass the martial arts examination in this subject, my Yuwen family's name will be written upside down!"
He got on his horse and rode away with a group of followers, but Qin Qiong was very depressed. He had been having bad luck since he entered the capital. First he offended King Qi, and now he inexplicably offended Yu Wenshu. He didn't know the reason?
"Brother Qin, I guess your riding 'she' is too eye-catching, hehe! It's me, Old Cheng, who is better! Then why doesn't Yu Wenshu recognize me as a fake?"
At night, a carriage slowly drove into Xijing City under the strict protection of more than a hundred Shi guards. In the carriage, Yang Su closed his eyes slightly, looking haggard and tired. Running away for several months had made his body further deteriorated.
With old age, he was almost reduced to a handful of bones.
Yang Su returned to Beijing this time because he was granted the title of Shangshu Ling. He wanted to come back to express his gratitude. Two days ago, he had just entered Tongguan and suddenly received a message from his third son Yang Xuan. The Yang family actually punished Yuan Qing in his family temple and sent him to the capital.
Yang Su was shocked and angry by the news of expelling his clan membership and expelling his "men". He hurried back to the capital. He wanted to know what was the reason that made the Yang family make such a ridiculous decision.
The carriage drove into the Mingde Men, and a Shi guard came forward to ask for instructions, "Servant, should we go back directly to the house?"
Yang Suchen said "No! Go to the palace first."
He knew that the Holy Emperor should still be reviewing the memorials in the Imperial Study Room at this time. He was granted the title of Shangshu Ling, and the Holy Spirit's intention to abandon him had already appeared. The more delicate the time, the more cautious he needed to be, even though the Yuanqing incident worried him.
, but Yang Su knew that as an attitude, he had to see the Holy One first no matter what. If he fell, his family would be finished. For the long-term interests of the family, he could only go to see the Holy One with a tired body.
The carriage accelerated and sped towards the palace.
Just as Yang Su judged, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was indeed busy reviewing memorials in the imperial study. It was like this every day, and he gradually got used to it.
Today is the first day of the martial arts examination, so Yang Guang is naturally paying special attention to it. He has also heard some complaints in the past few days, saying that the three hundred places in the first list are not enough at all, and that only two places for one family are too few. Minister
Their intention is very clear, either expand the quota or cancel the second list. We should still follow the old rules, and the Ministry of War will directly select the children of the aristocratic families.
But the purpose of Yang Guang's martial arts examination was to promote a meritocracy concept and to select the best through fair examinations. He didn't really want to recruit the Forbidden Army. Of course, Yang Guang could also expand the number of people in the first list to one thousand.
Everyone is happy, but in that case, what is the difference from the previous selection by the Ministry of War, and what is the significance of this military exercise?
He has already relaxed the ratio of the A and B rankings to three to two. This is the biggest concession he has made. He will never make any more concessions. At the same time, Yang Guang also knows very well that once he refuses to make concessions, these ministers will definitely look for holes.
Looking for something missing, and Li Gang's lack of qualifications, he may not be able to suppress these high-ranking officials and powerful people. He was worried, but he could not find a suitable candidate for a while.
At this moment, a eunuch reported, "Your Majesty, Yang Taipu has arrived and is asking for an audience outside the palace!"
Yang Guang was startled, Yang Su was back! When did he come back? He didn't have time to think, and immediately ordered, "Announce his presence!"
Yang Guang was not surprised when Yang Su returned. He had already sent eunuchs to Luoyang to announce the decree and made Yang Su the Duke of Chu and the Minister of Secretariat. Of course, Yang Su would come back to express his gratitude, but he did not expect that Yang Su would come back so quickly.
After a while, Yang Su hurriedly walked into the imperial study room under the guidance of a eunuch. He took a step forward, bowed deeply and said, "Old minister Yang Su comes to see your majesty, and I wish your majesty long live long live!"
Yang Guang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Has Yang Su become so thin after not seeing her for several months? She also has bad temperament and looks sickly.
"Yang Aiqing, have you been feeling unwell lately?"
Yang Su smiled bitterly in his heart, how could he say that he was not in good health? He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if I want you to go into battle, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult, but when thinking about the problem, I am still as quick as before.
"
"I understand, when will Yang Aiqing return to Beijing?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have just arrived in Beijing and haven't had time to return home. I want to express my gratitude to Your Majesty first!"
After saying that, Yang Su knelt down and said, "Old minister, thank your Majesty for the reward!"
"Please come quickly, Yang Aiqing. Come see me as soon as you arrive in Beijing. Hey! You are so loyal."
Yang Guang helped Yang Su up with his own hands, and then ordered those around him, "Give me a seat!"
Two eunuchs brought a soft couch to Yang Su. Yang Su thanked him and sat down.
Yang Guang picked up a memorial and said with a smile, "I am paying attention to the progress of Xindu every day. I don't have anything to ask. I will just chat with Aiqing about home affairs!"
"I would like to chat with His Majesty."
Yang Guang sighed and then brought the topic to Yang Yuanqing, because this was a major event that had happened in the Yang family recently, and he believed that Yang Su should also know about it.
"I heard that Yuan Qing recently violated family rules and was punished by the family. I am also very sorry about this, but I want to express an attitude."
"I don't dare, my Majesty, please make it clear."
Yang Guang glanced at him and said with a faint smile, "I believe that the state has national laws, the family has family rules, and the family punishes the children who violate the rules according to the family rules. It is beyond reproach."
Yang Su was shocked. He understood what Yang Guang meant. He actually supported the family's punishment of Yuan Qing. Yang Su had been in the officialdom for decades and had unusual political sensitivity. He suddenly realized that the Lord seemed to be
I'm a little too concerned about this.
Yang Guang also immediately realized his gaffe, so he immediately changed the matter and said with a smile, "How long do you plan to stay when Aiqing returns to Beijing this time?"
"Only three to five days! I'm mainly here to express my gratitude and see my family by the way, and then return to Luoyang. If your Majesty has anything to worry about, I will be happy to help you."
Yang Guang thought, isn't Yang Su the best candidate to supervise the martial arts? It's just his body. Yang Guang looked at Yang Su's thin body worriedly.
Yang Su understood what Yang Guang meant. He must have something to do, and it would be best to do something. He was afraid that there would be nothing to do. He quickly bowed and said, "Whatever your Majesty needs me to do, please feel free to tell me."
Although Yang Guang no longer wanted to use Yang Su, the martial arts examination did not involve military or state affairs, so it was okay to let him do it. He smiled and said, "Yang Aiqing, the martial arts examination is being held these two days. I would like to entrust Yang Aiqing to inspect and supervise this time."
Regarding the martial arts competition, I wonder if Yang Aiqing would be willing to share my worries?"
"Old minister is willing!"
