Chapter 496
"I bow before your majesty." On the dragon boat, Yang Qian pushed the golden mountain to the jade pillar and prostrated himself on the top of the dragon boat, and respectfully saluted Yang Guang who was behind the imperial case.
After Yang Guang received a courtesy, he stood up, walked around the imperial court, and personally helped Yang Qian up. He looked at the young man he trusted the most and couldn't help but laugh.
"Without the gift, get up quickly and let me take a good look... I can't believe that after several years of separation, the appearance of the little Yangqing family has not changed at all, and they are still as beautiful as a crown jewel, haha..."
"It's a pity that there are more and more star frosts on my beard and hair."
"..." Yang Qian looked like a husky, "Master Emperor, can you please be polite when we meet again after a long absence?"
The gods have such beautiful faces, it’s a good thing not to mention that the people on the dragon boat with beautiful faces are either handsome young men or dead eunuchs with old faces like chrysanthemums.
Are you mocking me for pretending to be young or something?
"Haha, okay, I'm not joking with you. Next time you come to see me, remember to grow a beard. As a dignified seven-foot man, how can you show your majesty if you don't have sideburns and beard to match?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will keep it in mind and save it from tomorrow." Yang Qian had no choice but to accept his fate honestly.
But having said that, Yang Qian naturally has no objection to growing a beard, but now he feels that he is just twenty years old.
He started growing a beard to show off, and there was always the bad custom of a small-time gangster pretending to be a big shot.
The fat guy Changsun Wuji who is about the same age next to me is chubby and has a beard, which turns out to be thin and long. He really has the demeanor of Taiyi Zhenren, and one look at him makes people think he is funny.
Yang Guang asked in detail what Yang Qian had done in Jiangdu County in the past few years. They talked from noon until sunset, and then had people serve food and wine until nearly midnight.
Only then, with a face full of drunkenness, did people send Yang Qian off the dragon boat.
"Your Majesty has often been thinking about Yang Xiaoguan in the past two years. Even the Jiangdu Palace Map and the Yang Palace Map painted by Yang Xiaoguan the year before last were hung in the palace by Your Majesty..."
Wang Zhong, the eunuch who was familiar with Yang Qian, drove a group of young eunuchs to the stern of the thousand-mile ship, and stood at the bow with Yang Qian, feeling quite emotional.
"Your Majesty has been thinking about the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and finally decided to do it. You have been working hard all the way. Thank you for your hard work, sir."
"Why did our family have to work so hard? Now our family has finally made a head start. We only need to stay with His Majesty and let our children and grandchildren do all the chores, big and small. It's quite relaxing."
After chatting for a while, Yang Qian asked casually, "Why haven't you seen that old general Yuwen today?"
Wang Zhong lowered his voice and said, "Old General Yuwen just passed Xingyang. He caught wind and cold and was bedridden. At first he could barely walk a few steps, but the closer he got to Jiangnan, the worse it became."
"The news from the imperial doctor is that Old General Yuwen may not be able to survive for more than a month."
#####
"Then Yu Wenhuaji and Yuwen Zhiji are also here, right?"
"It's natural. These two have become a lot more honest since they came to Yanmen. However, our family feels that given their basic nature, how can they be any better."
"When the old general dies and there is no one to protect him in the future, he will cause a huge disturbance, tsk tsk tsk..."
Listening to the words of Eunuch Wang Zhong, Yang Qian couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
Even Wang Zhong could see that those two bastards couldn't change their ways of eating shit. If Yang Guang had listened to someone's advice, he wouldn't have ended up like that.
It's a pity that after today's candle-lit night talk with Yang Guang, Yang Qian realized that Yang Guang was still the paranoid Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who had his own way of doing things, and liked and disliked Yang Guang based on his own character.
Even if he hits the south wall, he will not look back. Yang Qian helplessly shook his head slightly, saluted Wang Zhong and said sternly.
"My lord, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Yang Xiaoguan, we have only known each other since we were young. Why should we be so polite between you and me?"
"Please, Eunuch Wang Zhong, be careful of those two people. I always feel that if there is no old general Yuwen, these two people will definitely cause a disturbance. This disturbance may be as big as..."
Having said this, Yang Qian stopped talking and turned his attention to the dragon boat.
Wang Zhong waited for a long time, but did not hear what was going on. He just subconsciously followed Yang Qian's gaze and glanced at the dragon boat, feeling a little confused and confused.
"We have taken note of Yang Xiaoguan's advice and we will definitely not forget it."
"In addition, our family has heard that His Majesty has come to Jiangnan this time and is thinking of staying there for a long time."
"...Your Majesty will stay in Jiangnan permanently?" Yang Qian's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Wang Zhong.
"Zhang Xutuo has died, and the Central Plains is in decay. Xingyang has also lost half of it, and the situation in the Eastern Capital is in danger. Only this land south of the Yangtze River in the world is peaceful and prosperous, with singing and dancing in peace."
The thousand-mile boat finally docked slowly. Yang Qian said goodbye to Wang Zhong and then slowly walked ashore. Then he looked back and said goodbye to Wang Zhong.
Sometimes, it only depends on God's will whether the other party can understand it or not.
"It seems that Qin will not be able to see the emperor today."
Brother Qin, who had already been awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief of Wu Commandery, was wearing a well-fitting official uniform. He walked forward slowly and saluted Yang Qian.
"I can't help it. My dear brother, you are the only one favored by the emperor."
"..." Yang Qian is not happy to hear this. Your second brother Qin has also learned bad things, right?
He is a straight man, a real man, and he has a wife and children.
Seeing Yang Qian's expression, Brother Qin laughed and quickly apologized.
"Okay, Brother Qin, please come with me to the mansion to rest for now. His Majesty is going to meet with you, which should be tomorrow. It happens that we two brothers have not seen each other for a few months, so we have a good chat..."
Well, just a few days ago, Miss Li Xiuning was finally diagnosed by a famous doctor in Jiangdu to be pregnant. The unruly and arrogant female heroine is about to become the mother of a hero.
Just a few days ago, the prefect's wife felt weak all day long without practicing the martial art of bow and horse for half an hour.
As if he was suffering from some illness, he felt lazy and weak, nothing he ate tasted good, his whole body felt unhappy, and his face was so gloomy that the entire Jiangdu Prefecture felt like it was raining continuously.
Even Feng Shen Junyi and Yang Xiaoqian were worried. The delicious food he personally prepared made his wife, who usually likes to eat the most, vomit immediately after smelling it...
Yang Qian was heartbroken and quickly called in a number of famous doctors from Jiangdu County. They all told Yang Qian with certainty that the prefect's wife was pregnant for two months.
Yang Qian was naturally very happy. He felt happy and auspicious these days when he saw the fat-headed, big-eared, evil-minded Changsun Wuji, as well as the four scum of the green forest, who had a ferocious face and were hated by humans and dogs.
