Song Yuzhi lay on the soft couch, with one leg on the table and the other on his head, looking up to the sky and sighing.
At home, she can do whatever she wants, but in Daxing City, every move represents the Song family's face, so she can only endure it and not go out.
In addition to practicing swordsmanship these days, I take a bath with Li Xiuning and read a bunch of miscellaneous books, such as "The Romantic Young Hero", "Rebirth Twenty Years Ago, I Owned a Tmall", "The Overbearing Tmall Falls in Love with Me", and others
There's really nothing to do.
It's really hard for her to sit in her room and drink a cup of tea all day like her second uncle did.
Maybe because she was hit a bit hard, even Li Xiuning doesn't often come to see her for discussions now.
She just didn't hold back her strength and chopped all her clothes and hair into pieces with the knife, and no one saw it.
Except for a little yellow cat with wide eyes.
suddenly.
"Bang~" A small yellow ball fell from the roof, and it turned out to be the legendary fifth master in the world: Tmall Le Ye.
"Pfft~" The little yellow cat spurted out a mouthful of bright red blood.
"Ah?" Song Yuzhi was shocked: "Master Le, what's wrong with you?"
The girl was extremely panicked. She held the little yellow cat in the palm of her hand and checked it up and down. There was no wound at all, but her breath was weak and she vomited blood from time to time.
The little yellow cat was dying: "Meow~"
【help me!】
"Save, how to save? Oh, by the way, there is a hundred-year-old ginseng sent by Yuwen Ban in the room. I will get it for you!"
After a while.
"Bah, bah~"
Seeing the little yellow cat eating happily, the girl swallowed: "Master Le, are you feeling better?"
Miao Le paused, blinked his eyes, and said weakly: "Meow meow."
【Only restore a little.】
Song Yuzhi blinked, seeming to feel something was wrong: "Master Le, with your strength as the fifth greatest grandmaster in the world, who can hurt you?"
After a moment of silence, Miao Le tilted his head and lay down: "Meow!"
[Today, when I was wandering around the emperor's harem, I discovered a mysterious place that was eerie and terrifying. With my spiritual sense, I could faintly smell the smell of blood, and felt a great sense of terror.
This is a bad omen!
As a responsible heaven and earth spirit beast, it is my duty to solve the sufferings of all sentient beings, so I sneaked in secretly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, I seemed to be bitten by something. Soon the wound began to swell and the pain was unbearable.
But who am I? I have been practicing for more than a thousand years and have unparalleled skills. I directly used magical skills to repair the wound, but in the end I discovered that my body had been poisoned.
Fortunately, I was lucky. I met an old Taoist priest named Eguan Bo on the road. He had a five-strand beard, an elegant and simple face, and was wearing a generous brocade robe. He looked like an expert at first sight.
The Taoist priest said, what I met was a centipede spirit that has been practicing for hundreds of years. If you want to cure this poison, you have to find its natural enemy.]
"Ah, where are the natural enemies? I'll find them right away!" Song Yuzhi said anxiously.
The little yellow cat reluctantly raised his head: "Yeah!"
[The natural enemy of centipedes is of course chickens! It takes at least ten years of chicken essence.]
"Chicken? Do you need more than ten years of chicken essence?"
Song Yuzhi was dumbfounded, where could she find it? Generally, chickens can only be kept at home for two or three years at most.
"Meow meow!"
【Jiaofangsi has it!】
Song Yuzhi:???
She suspected that Mr. Le was engaging in prostitution, but there seemed to be no evidence.
…
Daxing Imperial Palace, study room.
Yang Jian was dealing with state affairs and was extremely busy.
In the early Sui Dynasty, the world experienced long-term wars between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and people's livelihood was in decline and hardship. Therefore, they accepted Sima Suwei's suggestion and abolished the court's monopoly on salt and wine and the market tax.
Since then, taxes have been reduced many times to reduce people's burdens, promote agricultural production across the country, and stabilize people's livelihood.
Moreover, because "average
The "Land System" and the "Registration Loss Law" have improved the enthusiasm of ordinary people to cultivate land and make progress, and uncovered a large number of people hidden by wealthy households.
In just a few years, the world's population doubled, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Looking at this year's statistical files handed over by Shang Shu Pushe, Yang Jian felt a little proud. It was difficult to conquer the world, but it was even more difficult to govern the world.
As the founding king of the Sui Dynasty, he unified the mountains and rivers, now allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and has made a series of lasting achievements:
A wide canal was built to facilitate water transportation in Guanzhong; a charity warehouse was also set up among the people, so that people could donate food to prevent bad years;
The "Kaihuang Code" was compiled, the criminal code was revised, and the national criminal law was established so that the people could abide by the law and reduce the penalties. The death penalty was only limited to hanging and beheading to show the Sui Dynasty's lenience to the people.
With such achievements, wouldn't future generations call him an eternal sage emperor? Among the emperors in ancient times, except for Qin Shihuang, who could compare with him?
After admiring his great achievements for a while, Yang Jian looked at the memorial on the side of the table and frowned.
With the support of the Guanlong Group and Cihang Jingzhai, he could conquer and govern the world so smoothly. But now that the government is stable, these big families and powerful forces have become the biggest obstacle to the development of the Sui Dynasty.
Will your family and sect care about how your world is developing? No! They will only care about themselves and the people close to them. This is human nature.
But for a country, if those family forces want to develop better, they will definitely form cliques for personal gain and collude with the top and bottom. This is digging into the roots of the Sui Dynasty.
If there is a court with their people from top to bottom, then is this the Great Sui of the Yang family or the Great Sui of the Guanlong Group?
He slowly opened the memorial and looked at the bright red list on it: Five Surnames and Seven Views, Four Gates, Taoist Gate, Demonic Gate, and Buddhist Gate.
As the emperor, the supreme being in the world, he does not want to see or allow people outside his control!
"Father, are you looking for me?" Prince Yang Yong came in and said respectfully.
Yang Jian raised his head and looked at his son. He was handsome, similar to him, good at poetry, generous, gentle and straightforward. To put it bluntly, he was simple.
As a son, it is good to be simple, but as a prince or an emperor, being simple is stupid.
"Prince, Song Yuzhi, do you know?"
Yang Yong said quickly: "The descendant of the Heavenly Sword, Song Que's young daughter, it is said that she is beautiful in heaven and beautiful in the world, and her sword skills can reach the gods."
Yang Jian nodded: "Okay, let's go down."
Yang Yong was startled and a little confused, but he still bent down and bowed: "My son, please leave."
Looking at the prince's leaving figure, Yang Jian's eyes were dark.
This son was his eldest son. Originally, he and Queen Dugu had high hopes, but he did a big stupid thing. The eldest son he gave birth to was not his legitimate son, but was born from a concubine.
In this way, how can a court ensure the smooth transition of clan power? This is a sign of troubled times.
The key is that the Crown Princess is still chosen by Queen Dugu. If he doesn't respect this wife, does that mean he disrespects his own Queen?
And he and Queen Dugu have supported each other and helped each other from their humble beginnings to their current status as the most powerful people in the world.
Even when going to court, the queen would go with him in his chariot until he arrived at the palace, and send eunuchs to follow him for communication and liaison. "If there are mistakes in government, then correct them and it will be of great benefit."
When the next court came, the queen was already waiting. The couple looked at each other and happily returned to the palace together, living together inseparable.
Even as the emperor now, Yang Jian doted on and believed in his beloved wife, almost obeying her words, and the emperor and empress were both respected as the "Two Saints" in the palace.
At this point, he was even considering the Queen's opinion on whether to abolish this prince who did not respect his elders, did not abide by the rules, and doted on his concubines and cold wives.
"Your Majesty." The chamberlain stood up to pay homage.
"Prince Jin has left the Queen's Palace."
"Um!"
Now there are two great masters standing behind Song Yuzhi, and there are only five in the world. It can be said that the support of the Song family can determine the next throne.
A great master, one man is the enemy of the country.
Yang Jian didn't believe it before, but he sent 100,000 elite troops to Ling
Nan and Tian Dao fought against each other once, and he believed him.
If he hadn't been too lazy to govern the world, he might have died on the spot.
So this is the last chance for the prince.
…
Jin Palace.
Yang Guang, the legitimate second son of Yang Jian, was beautiful and intelligent. He was first granted the title of Duke of Yanmen County. In the first year of Kaihuang's reign, he was appointed King of Jin and participated in the destruction of the Chen Dynasty.
In the tenth year after the founding of the Emperor, rebellions broke out in various places in the south of the Yangtze River. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty sent Yang Su to crusade, eliminate all rebel forces, and completely pacify the south of the Yangtze River.
Afterwards, Yang Guang was ordered to Jiangdu to serve as the general manager of Yangzhou. He gained the support of the Yuwen Clan in Jiangdu and gained great prestige.
"General Yuwen, the Queen summoned me today to inquire about some news about Song Yuzhi, the successor of Tiandao. What do you think?" Yang Guang frowned.
People's hearts are fickle, and the Tian family is ruthless. As the second son of the Yang family, he must carefully consider and consider every word his parents say.
Yu Wenhuaji thought for a while and said: "Although Tian Dao did not participate in the Grand Master's battle, it definitely has the strength of the Grand Master. When his horse stepped on Cihang Jingzhai, Ning Daoqi did not come out as proof.
A great master does not allow failure.
Although the Song family is located in a corner, it has the combat power of two great masters. Therefore, the queen's intention is very clear. If you can gain the support of the Song family, or even win the heart of Song Yuzhi, she will fully support you in becoming the crown prince."
Yang Guang's eyes lit up.
What man wouldn't like to become a prince, or even the supreme king in the world, and have power all over the world?
As for whether he can win Song Yuzhi's heart, he is very confident about this.
She was just a girl from a remote mountainous area. She, Yang Guang, was the second son of the King of Jin and the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. His martial arts and martial arts were unparalleled in the world.
With such status and talent, wouldn't it be possible to condescend to pursue a wild girl who has never seen much of the world?
impossible!
"General Yuwen, let's go to the Song Mansion to meet him." Yang Guang said confidently.
Yu Wenhua was a little hesitant.
"General Yuwen?" Yang Guang took two steps and was a little surprised to see that his biggest guard of honor did not follow him.
"The King of Jin did not know that Song Yuzhi is not in the Song Mansion now."
"Oh? Then you should be participating in a poetry meeting or banquet organized by some lady, right? Wouldn't that be better!" Yang Guang said happily.
【In view of the general environment,
If he went directly to the Song Mansion, Song Yuzhi might be embarrassed to see him, but it would be different outside. If nothing else, which family in Kyoto would dare not give him face?
At that time, due to various coincidences, wouldn't it be easy to win the heart of a girl you want?
Yu Wenhuaji hesitated for a long time before slowly saying:
"According to what our people accidentally saw, three days ago, Song Yuzhi disguised herself as a man and went to the pedagogy as Song Bule, where she invited ten girls to drink, listen to music, and enjoy singing and dancing. She has not returned yet.
"
Yang Guang:???
According to the rules of the Sui Dynasty, the wives and daughters of convicted officials and the family members of criminals would be relegated to a lowly status, called Lehu.
They were called Lehu because they were untouchables who served upper-level officials as escorts in singing and dancing, and most of their young women became official prostitutes. His father set up a church to manage Lehu full-time.
As far as he knew, many court officials still lingered over those places. After all, most of the women here were the wives and daughters of their close friends and classmates.
A gentleman is benevolent and righteous. Since he has risen to prominence, he naturally wants to help the world. If he doesn't use his money to teach others and take care of some of his wives and daughters who he once knew, wouldn't it be unkind and unjust?
As the King of Jin, is he qualified to go? Yes! Do you want to go? Yes!
But he can't go.
Because of the harmonious relationship between his father and his mother, he has always shown that he doesn't like kabuki geisha.
Even when my father came to his house last time, he saw with his own eyes that most of the strings of his musical instruments were cut off and dusty, so he abandoned them for a long time after just one look.
Need not.
If he knew that he had gone to the Jiaofang and had inconsistent personalities, with the intelligence of his father and mother, he would have known that he had deceived them.
In an ordinary family, if you cheat, you will cheat, and the most you will receive is a beating. In the Tian family, that is deceiving the emperor, and it is a capital crime!
"General Yuwen, send someone to wait at the gate of the teaching workshop. Let me know when Song Yuzhi will come out!" Yang Guang said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
Yang Guang didn't care about Song Yuzhi going to the Jiaofang to have fun. They were just a group of women. How could they have fun? They were most likely just going to see something.
Because of Empress Dugu, the daughter's family in the Sui Dynasty did not have so many rules.
As for how long he had to wait for the dye house, it would definitely not be too long.
Not to mention being bored there all the time, the cost of the teaching workshop is not affordable for ordinary people. Is it possible that Song Yuzhi can stay there for a year and a half?
impossible!
…
Yangzhou Pier.
Looking at the Song family fleet going away in the distance, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong felt hesitant in their hearts.
As soon as the Song family's fleet comes over these days, the Haisha Gang will open up the dock business very generously, and anyone can come in for interviews and work.
Not to mention, the Song family's long-term workers want everyone, and even those women who are proficient in advanced "import and export" skills have become targets of recruitment.
The two brothers, who are smart, down-to-earth and hard-working, have even taught a secret training technique these days: "Working, from entry to burial".
As the name suggests, as long as you eat enough and work more, you will have more energy and blood, and the stronger you are, the more work you can do, and you will be buried directly in the end.
Despite the name of this martial art, after working hard these days, the two brothers have become much stronger and even taller.
Because of their outstanding performance and hard work, the housekeeper on the fourth floor of the No. 8 ship promised to recruit them as long-term workers of the Song family, with food and accommodation included, a monthly salary of 50 taels, and a fixed salary increase of 10% every year. If they become disabled or old, the Song family will be responsible for their support.
.
If he is selected as an outstanding long-term worker, the Song family will also assign a wife to work outside the home and be responsible for his wife's safety and education.
The two brothers wanted to agree to this treatment on the spot.
"Master Ling, why didn't you go with the Song family's fleet?" Kou Zhong suddenly asked.
"Young Master Zhong, you didn't go either. What do you think? With such good conditions, how could you not go for people like us who usually don't even have enough to eat?"
Kou Zhong raised his hand and clenched his fist: "I suddenly remembered a sentence in the play, a man was born in heaven and earth, how can he be subordinate to others for a long time?
If I'm not the Song family's dog, I, Kou Zhong, can still stand out!"
"Then I'm different from you. I can't let go of my virginity." Xu Ziling said honestly.
