"Queen, it is precisely because the war broke out in Hezhou, and the people's hearts urgently need to be calmed and comforted, so I sent Yonger there. What's more, he will be in charge of the whole world in the future. If even a small state and county can be governed No, how to manage all the mountains and rivers of the Sui Dynasty? Besides, if Yonger doesn’t go, who else can go?”

"Guang'er? He just got off the battlefield and needs to rest; Jun'er? He has a gentle temperament; Axiu? He can do military affairs; Ah Liang is too young, so only Yonger is left. I believe that Yonger is qualified for this position. After all, his vision and handling of things are so unique.”

Seeing Dugu Jialuo's dazed expression, Yang Jian slowed down his voice and explained, "I'm also doing it for his own good. If I only stay in the East Palace, Yong'er will never know what happened outside. Even if I know, it's only one-sided. ,Being an emperor, besides sitting in the palace, he also needs to visit the people privately and check on the people to understand their thoughts and meet their needs, instead of being aloof and ignoring the sufferings of the people."

Looking at the big hand with bulging veins that patted the back of her hand to comfort her, Dugu Jialuo asked after a long while: "But... what about those two children? They are our grandchildren, how can they be so young? Can live in a harsh environment?"

"With Yuan'er here, they will be fine. Yuan'er treats them like a biological mother, so the queen doesn't have to worry." As if he already knew how to deal with it, Yang Jian replied fluently, with a smile on his face.

Closing his eyes, Dugu Jialuo said: "Then my concubine will dare to say again, has the emperor ever thought about what kind of storm will be caused in the court and in the entire Sui Dynasty by doing this? The East Palace cannot be without a prince, just like the emperor in the Sui Dynasty. It can’t be the same without you, the emperor, and if this matter gets to other people’s ears, what kind of speculation will they make? If people in neighboring countries know about it, what kind of ridicule will it be? I hope the emperor will think twice.”

"The crown prince is the next monarch of the Sui Dynasty, and he will succeed you to manage the country, especially Chen Guo. After knowing this, the Empress Chen will definitely scold me for having no successors in the Sui Dynasty!"

After Yang Jian finished listening, he stood up abruptly, with a cold light in his eyes, and laughed loudly: "There is no successor?! There is no successor. Is it because others think that there is no successor or the queen herself thinks that there is no successor? Queen, I am still in my prime , not old at all, does the queen think that I can't do it? Even if I live to be a hundred years old, I can do it!"

Dugu Jialuo hurriedly got up and knelt down, "The emperor is wise, that's not what the concubine meant."

"That's not what you mean?" Yang Jian bent his head and leaned into Dugu Jialuo's ear and asked, "Then tell me, what do you mean?"

"The concubine just doesn't want to see your majesty working so hard."

"Not tired?" Yang Jian snorted coldly, flicking his sleeves, "If the Son of Heaven is not tired, how can he be worthy of the country on his shoulders? Queen, you and I have been through ups and downs for so many years, don't you know the weight of it? If I If you don’t read every memorial carefully and carefully, what’s the use of the emperor in front of you?”

The brilliance in his eyes dimmed in an instant, and Dugu Jialuo knew that no matter how much she persuaded, it was impossible for Yang Jian to change his mind.The matter of sending Yang Yong to Hezhou has already been decided, if she said something more, it would only increase Yang Jian's impatience.

But, are you really working hard for the country, or are you afraid of something?

The question was deeply hidden in her heart, and she didn't say it in the end.

Yang Jian helped Dugu Jialuo, took her hand and said, "But don't worry, I will definitely bestow Yong'er generously, and I will also ask the prefect of Hezhou to help him more. I will also send his two teachers to follow. Now assisting Yonger, if the Empress thinks there is anything else she needs to buy, just tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you will handle all the daily necessities."

Dugu Jialuo blessedly said: "The concubine first thanked the emperor on behalf of Yonger."

Yang Yong and the others set off in mid-October, when it was cold. The day before the departure, Dugu Jialuo called Yang Yong and Ke Jing to Renshou Palace and gave them many instructions.

The wheels were turning and they set off towards Hezhou. Yang Jian sent Li Yuan to protect the safety of Yang Yong and others on the road. The progress was all within Ke Jing's expectations.

There is a token hidden in the wide sleeve, which was given to her by Dugu Jialuo. This token is equivalent to the emperor's oral order, and it will function in times of crisis.She knew that Dugu Jialuo gave it to her secretly without telling Yang Jian, and she could only be grateful for Dugu Jialuo's good intentions.

It takes two days and one night to travel from Hezhou to Chang'an.She brought all the dry food and water needed for the journey. This was the third time she had left Chang'an, and she couldn't contain her excitement.

After the team left the city gate, Ke Jing opened the curtains, looked up at the majestic city wall and the flags flying on the city wall, and his heartbeat accelerated suddenly.

Finally able to leave...

"Drive, drive—" The dust was flying, and a horse galloped from a distance. The man on the horse was full of vigor and majesty, a rare and beautiful man. "Brother, please wait a moment—"

Hearing the shout, Li Yuan raised his hand and made a gesture of stopping. The coachman pulled the reins, and the horses stopped whimpering.

"What's the matter? Why did you stop?" Chunyuan poked her head out of the window, bluffing, and seeing the man approaching from far, she widened her eyes in surprise and said, "It's His Royal Highness, King Jin His Highness is coming."

Dongmei tugged her sleeves and motioned for her to sit down. Chunyuan stuck out her tongue and obediently sat beside Dongmei.

Yang Yong sat on the horse's back, only to see that the steed had just stopped when Yang Guang rolled over and came to him.

"Second brother, why are you here?"

Yang Guang knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands and said, "My brother comes to see my brother off."

"It's hard for you, but you still come out all the way to see me off." Yang Yong also got off his horse and pulled him up, "My good brother, it's my honor to have you, Brother Huang, but you have a lot of business, so go back, there is uncle De enough."

"No, I still want to see Brother Huang for a ride. On weekdays, Brother Huang often takes care of you, and I don't have time to repay you. Even when I learned that you were dispatched to Hezhou, I was always unable to visit you due to political delays. Now It’s finally free, brother emperor, you should agree to this subject!” Yang Guang’s sincerity made Yang Yong unable to bear to refuse.

As a result, Yang Guang was accompanied by Yang Guang in the marching team.

"His Royal Highness Prince Jin is really a good man. None of His Royal Highness' other brothers came to see him off, but he was the only one who chased him on horseback even though he was so busy."

Glancing at Chun Yuan, who was feeling injustice, Ke Jing looked out through the gap in the curtains, and said with a sneer, "You know people, you know their faces, but you don't know their hearts, Xiao Yuanzi, you still need to practice your ability to know people."

Looking at Kejing suspiciously, Chunyuan frowned.What the Crown Princess said was obviously saying that His Royal Highness Jin's nature is not as kind as the outside, but the His Royal Highness she has come into contact with, both in conversation and manner, are all gentlemen.

The team continued to move forward, the horses galloped on the official road, the cold wind blew, and rushed in through the windows, blowing their hair flying.Chun Yuan rubbed her hands together, put them to her mouth and let out a breath, muttering about the cold weather.

After traveling for more than an hour, Yang Yong persuaded Yang Guang to go back, but Yang Guang repeatedly refused, and accompanied him on the journey for dozens of miles.

"Then I will escort Brother Huang here." Yang Guang sat on the horseback and clasped his fists at Yang Yong.

Yang Yong smiled back and said, "I'm very pleased to have your kindness in mind. Please do your best and wait for your wedding wine."

Yang Guang's face froze, and he replied: "It must be." His eyes drifted to the window of the second carriage, and he caught a glimpse of that beautiful face. He quickly cast a look at her, and then said to Yang Yong: "That minister Brother is back."

"Chunyuan, give this to His Royal Highness King Jin, and tell him that he found it in the East Palace. Let him identify whether it is his. If he asks about your exact location, you can decide for yourself."

Catching the jade pendant thrown over by Ke Jing, Chunyuan opened the curtain and got out of the carriage without saying a word.

Dongmei looked at Chunyuan's leaving back, looked at Qiutang beside her who had never spoken, and remained silent.

"So, some people can't just look at their appearance." Ke Jing pointed out.

Dongmei understood, and asked: "Then Chunyuan..."

"Don't worry, the other party will not regard her as a powerful character."

It didn't take long before Chunyuan came back humming a ditty. Seeing the joy on her face, it seemed that letting her run errands was a very happy thing.

"What does His Highness King Jin say?"

Chunyuan reported: "My servant was a little flustered when he saw that he got the jade pendant, but maybe the servant misread it. He asked me where I picked it up, and I said it was near Lanxu Garden."

Dongmei looked at Chunyuan in surprise, not knowing whether to say she was dumbfounded or smart.The spearhead was pointed at Wang Liangyuan all of a sudden, and she really didn't expect to pass on this trick.

After two days and one night of traveling, when Yang Yong and others arrived in Hezhou, it was already very late.He took out the token and asked the officers and soldiers to open the city gate, and a group of people entered with their exhausted bodies.

"What's going on? Didn't anyone greet us when we came?" Seeing the empty avenue, Chun Yuan pouted, "Or did they not know we were coming?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's visit, logically speaking, Hezhou Governor should have greeted him at the door, but they walked in for a long time, and there was no one to meet him.Chunyuan still understands this point, so it's no wonder she gets angry.After all, the hardships along the way and the crying of the two milk babies made it difficult for them to arrive safely. Several times, the milk babies spit up milk because they couldn't stand the bumps of the carriage, and she almost cried when she saw it.Now that he finally arrived at his destination, he wanted to be greeted well, but what he got was this kind of indifferent scene.

"Leaving the East Palace, the prince is no longer a respected prince. We have to rely on ourselves for everything, and we can't be as comfortable and comfortable as in the East Palace. Chunyuan, although you are straightforward and naive, this palace is still I want to warn you to pay more attention to your words and deeds outside."

Kejing's rather serious words made Chunyuan stunned for a while, and after repeatedly chewing on the meaning of her words, she applied to nod solemnly.

Yes, when the prince leaves the East Palace, he will no longer be respected by everyone. No matter how glorious and glorious he used to be, once he leaves the East Palace, it is similar to the exploitation of his official position.

To put it bluntly, the current prince is just a down-and-out person who has a name but cannot enjoy the treatment that his name deserves.

Therefore, only by being careful and vigilant everywhere can they survive.
