Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

In Youchun Garden, ambushes are everywhere and murderous intentions are everywhere. Listening to the fun and joy, it is gradually approaching. It happened that at this time, the little prince Xiao Yu, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, came out of Ziling Palace and entered Youchun Garden.

This Xiao Yu is the eighth son of Emperor Xiaoming Xiao Kui. He is nine years old, smart and naughty. I heard that my sister is getting married today and she brought a group of maids and eunuchs to make trouble with the bridegroom.

When they arrived at Youchun Garden, they heard a palace maid say:"Your Highness, please close the Rouge Gate. The groom will not be allowed to enter the garden unless he gives you wedding money."

Only then did Zhao Xingnei and others understand that the Rouge Gate was the main entrance to Youchun Garden. Seeing Yang Guang, Su Wei, Cui Hongdu and others approaching, Xiao Yu led a group of palace people to close the Rouge Gate.

When I was young, I heard a call for the door from outside. The palace ladies were blocking the garden gate and playing around, but they didn't open the door.

Zhao Xingnei was behind the rockery, anxious to get angry. Suddenly a palace maid said:"According to the old customs in the south of the Yangtze River, the groom should be beaten with a broom to get rid of bad luck."

The little prince Xiao Yu was having a great time. When he heard this, he cheered:" Go and get the broom." As he spoke, several young eunuchs handed over the broom.

Several palace maids held hands, and the two eunuchs had just opened the garden door. All the palace maids started to coax the welcoming crowd back to the palace lane with a broomstick.

The welcoming crowd retreated to the palace alley. The little prince Xiao Yu, who had not had enough fun, returned to the garden with the palace maids and eunuchs,"quickly block the garden gate." Everyone started to block the Rouge Gate again.

Zhao Yuannai and his left and right swordsmen were waiting behind the rockery with increasing urgency. They heard the young prince Xiao Yu shouting:"If there are any other rules, leave them to the groom."

Another palace maid said:"According to the old custom." To sweep away bad luck, you should do it three times, then it will be auspicious."

Xiao Yu, the little prince, said it was good and had a great time. Behind the rockery, Zhao Xingyuan was so anxious that his palms were sweating. The messenger who came all the way from Guanzhong didn't understand the old Jiangnan customs. When he knocked on the door again, he was beaten out with a broom by the palace servants....

In the Ziling Palace, the second prince Xiao Qing was waiting anxiously. He came and went, but there was no movement in the Youchun Garden ahead.

I heard the prince Xiao Cong say from the side:"It's okay for the eighth brother to make a fuss. Is it possible that the northerners don't know the custom of giving money to happy people?" When

Xiao Cong heard this, he suddenly became enlightened. No wonder there were many ambushes in Youchun Garden, but there was no movement for a long time. It turned out that The eighth brother Xiao Yu went to make trouble with the groom's official. Xiao Zhen said:"I'm going to coax the eighth brother away."

Prince Xiao Cong grabbed Xiao Zhen and said,"Let him play. If he doesn't make trouble with the groom, it will stop the fun." As soon as he finished speaking, he only listened to one side. There was a noise of gongs and drums. Jingjiang King Xiao Wei saw that Yang Guang and his wedding team had bypassed the side garden and arrived at Ziling Palace. Everyone was surprised.

It just so happened that Yang Guang was young and had never seen the world of marriage. He entered the house three times in a row, but Xiao Yu and a palace maid beat him out with a broom.

Su Wei, the minister next to him, was a man who cared about trivial matters, so he asked the palace attendant who was leading the way:"The wedding ceremony is so lively, why not go to other gardens, so as not to overdo it, miss the auspicious time, and be unlucky." The palace attendant heard this. , This statement made sense, so he took him away from another palace and went straight to Ziling Palace.

Accompanied by Su Wei and Cui Hongdu, Yang Guang entered the Purple Spirit Palace. Xiaoming Emperor Xiao Kui was waiting for the groom in the palace, and Jingjiang King Xiao Gu was also accompanying him. He thought that capturing Yang Guang and killing Su Wei was a perfect matter. Unexpectedly, there was so much excitement outside Ziling Palace, and Yang Guang was already in front of him. This is it: the murderous spirit hides in the dark palace, and the flowers and leaves hide the heroic soldiers.

Marriage brings good intentions, but happiness brings unrest.

When Yang Guang came to the front hall of Ziling Palace and saw Xiao Kui, he lifted his robe and knelt down to bow down. Xiao Ming Emperor Xiao Kui saw Jin Wang Yang Guang. He had eight-colored eyebrows, eyes like stars, extraordinary handsomeness, and he fell in love with him. The king of Jingjiang, Xiao Gu, was standing aside, but he wanted to bite his teeth into pieces.

Yang Guang met with Xiao Ming Emperor Xiao Kui and then met with Queen Zhang who was on the sick bed. Turning back to the front hall, I saw a group of palace maids helping Xiao Jun out. The bride was dressed in red makeup, covered in gold utensils, and had a red hijab covering her face.

Xiao Wei was in the Ziling Palace, watching Yang Guang and Xiao Jun worshiping the sky and the earth, feeling really uneasy. After all, there were still soldiers hiding in Youchun Garden. Taking advantage of the crowd and noise in the palace, Xiao Wei left the Ziling Palace and went straight to Youchun Garden.

As soon as they entered the palace alley, the eighth prince Xiao Yu happened to run towards him with a group of palace maids and eunuchs. When Xiao Yu saw it was his second brother Xiao Yu, he asked:"Brother, where can you see the procession going to welcome the bride?"

"Already entered the Purple Spirit Palace."

Xiao Yu turned around and said to the maids and eunuchs:"Go to Ziyun Palace to get married!"Everyone rushed up and followed the little prince Xiao Yu to Ziyun Palace.

Xiao Yu was still angry and came to Youchun Garden. At this time, Zhao Xingnei was still ambushing in the rockery in the garden. He saw Xiao Yu coming alone and no one else. , Zhao Yuannei walked around from behind the rockery, walked quickly, and whispered:"Your Highness, do you have any errands?"

Xiao Wei put his hands behind his back, and he was so angry that he waved his hand:"Take your people and withdraw."

"Should we no longer intercept and kill the Sui envoys who welcome relatives?"

Xiao Qing seemed to be filled with smoke, and glared:"Why don't you get out of here? Yang Guang has already finished worshiping heaven and earth!" Zhao Xingnei was too frightened to say a word, so he ordered the swordsmen and axemen who were ambushing all around to put away their weapons and sneak out of Youchun Garden.

Xiao Gu left the inner court, and Anping King Xiao Yan was anxious outside. After waiting, when he saw that the second prince Xiao Zhen was silent, he knew that something had changed. He stepped forward and asked:"Gu'er, is something wrong?"

Xiao Yu said:"Uncle, it's a good opportunity for Xiao Yu and a group of palace people to stir things up."

"ah? Xiao Yan was even more confused and asked,"How did the Eighth Prince stir up such a big deal?""

"Xiao Yu led the palace people to arrange a wedding and blocked the Yuan gate, demanding money for the wedding. Yang Guang and others never entered the Rouge gate, and there was no way to ambush the soldiers."

Xiao Yan had no choice but to shake his head. The two of them walked not far away. Xiao Yan had another plan in mind and said to Xiao Gu:"Gu'er, uncle has another plan. It will make it difficult for Yang Guang to return to Jiangbei.

The second prince Xiao Wei asked:"Uncle has another clever plan, can you tell me about it?""

"I heard that the emperor has arranged for King Jin to swim in the river. It is better to be on the river surface and order the water ghosts to capture him while he is swimming. As long as Yang Guang takes it, I will immediately lead my troops to behead Su Wei, Cui Hongdu and others, forcing Sui and Liang to turn against each other and unite with Nan Chen"

"What a brilliant idea."The uncle and nephew hit it off immediately, and they decided to plot.

Yang Guang and Xiao Jun went to the church to get married, and they both entered the bridal chamber. Inside the palace, there were lanterns and colors, red curtains, yellow curtains, a few candles, gold powder and flowers, Yang Guang saw Xiao Jun put the hijab on his head and slowly walked closer. He wanted to reach out and lift the hijab, but his arms retracted. Xiao Jun watched Yang Guang's figure swaying for a few times, but did not lift the hijab, so he asked:"Your Highness is still hesitating." What?"

"oh……"Yang Guang hesitated and said:"I am not a womanizer. I traveled a long way to meet my bride. It is also my parents' order. I am just a little shy about the matchmaker's words." Xiao Jun asked:"Is it possible that His Highness looks down on my concubine?"

"That's not true. I have seen many of the palace ladies and colorful girls in the palace, but they are nothing more than this.

Xiao Jun said again:"Your Highness is afraid that I am ugly and not worthy of Your Highness?""

"No... no..., that was not the intention at all, I just said it."Yang Guang stretched out his hand to lift the hijab.

"Your Highness, please wait.

Yang Guang paused and asked,"Why, my beloved concubine doesn't want to see me?""

"I heard that Your Highness is very talented and talented. You might as well compose a poem through your hijab so that your concubines can hear about his talents before they see him. Wouldn't it be more interesting?"Xiao Jundao

"Too. Yang Guang looked at the wedding night, with the lights and candles shining on the people, and the festive decorations, and said:"My beloved is a girl from Jiangling. I expect that my beloved is as beautiful as the beautiful scenery of Jiangling, so why not make"Jiangling Female Song"》"

Xiao Jun nodded with his head covered, and Yang Guang chanted smoothly:

"Rain falls from the sky and water flows under the bridge.

I found my mother's skirt and tied it at both ends."

Xiao Jun didn't know many words, and he didn't have much writing skills. Just hearing the catchy rhyme of this poem made his heart full of joy. At this moment, Yang Guang poked his hands and feet, gently lifted Xiao Jun's hijab, Forget it, Yang Guang was surprised when he lifted the hijab. This is: black hair in a high bun on the temples, fragrant cheeks with white and rosy cheeks.

Eyes as penetrating as condensation, eyebrows slender on both sides.

Peach lips The white teeth are covered with buds, and the bridge of the nose is straight up to the sky.

The pearly light shines through the throat and neck, and the earrings are filled with happiness as if they are salivating. The Jiao'e is ashamed to close the window paper, and the fairy is ashamed to drop the door curtain. Who does not envy the beautiful woman in the mortal body, enough to turn the sky into dust and smoke.

Xiao Jun was dressed as beautiful as a fairy, making Yang Guang's eyes dazed and his body like water. Pulling off the hijab, Yang Guang knelt down in front of Xiao Jun, held Lan Zhi with both hands, and said affectionately:"I live in the palace and have seen beauties. Thousands, but not half as much as you. Xiao Meiniang is by no means empty talk. What regrets do I have in this life?"

"Your Highness……"

The two of them undressed and took off their belts, hugging each other and lying down. They were enjoying the clouds and rain and the beauty of the world. They couldn't describe it in words.

The next morning, the couple woke up and had a wonderful night. Yang Guang stretched out his arms and waist and saw that Xiao Jun was still lying down charmingly, so he asked:"My father ordered me to welcome the bride in Jiangling for three days before taking her back to Beijing. What are your arrangements for today?"

Xiao Jun exposed one arm and held the embroidered quilt in his arms, He said:"I heard from my father that today I have ordered the seventh prince Xiao Jue to accompany you on a tour of the river and sightseeing spots in Jingxiang."

"My dear, can you come with me?"

Xiao Jun said:"Your Highness will only stay for three days. I have prepared in a hurry and still need to pack my bags, so I won't go."

"It's okay, the servants have to pack all the luggage, but you do it yourself. My father, the Queen, and the Queen are the most advocating thrift. If we meet, I will definitely like you."Xiao Jun was overjoyed and took clothes for Yang Guang and sent him off.

When Yang Guang got married, he wore a maroon python robe and stretched out of the palace. It happened that Su Wei and Cui Hongdu were getting up for a walk early in the morning. When they saw Yang Guang After going out, Su Wei stepped forward and asked:"Early in the morning, His Highness King Jin was lucky enough to travel, but I don't know where he is going?"

"It was arranged yesterday that the Seventh Prince Xiao Jue would accompany me on a river cruise to see the scenery today.

Su Wei asked:"Your Highness should bring more guards to prevent unexpected events." When Yang

Guang heard this, he felt a little puzzled and asked Su Wei,"Su Xiangguo, what do you mean by this?""

Su Wei glanced at Cui Hongdu, and Cui Hongdu said:"Your Highness, there were followers yesterday. When they entered the palace to welcome the bride, a group of people who had been dressed in palace attire went in and out of Youchun Garden with swords in hand. I don't know what they wanted?" Yang Guang couldn't help but trembled when he heard about it. When Yang Guang learned that someone had set up an ambush in Chunyuan when he was welcoming his bride, he was shocked. Yang Guang said:"I have just married Xiao Jun, and Xiao Jun is accompanying me on a tour of Jingjiang. I might bring some guards with me. inappropriate.

Su Wei bowed and said,"Even if you don't bring a bodyguard, you still need someone to protect you."

At this time, Zhang Heng came over, bowed and said,"Your Majesty, the chariot to the riverside has been prepared.""

Zhang Heng, courtesy name Jianping, was born in Qinyang, Hanoi. He was four years older than Yang Guang and was in charge of the Jin Palace. When Su Wei saw Zhang Heng, his eyes lit up and he suggested:"Zhang Heng has always been prudent in his affairs. If you follow His Highness, the veteran will feel at ease. Got it"

"Does the Prime Minister have any advice?"Zhang Heng asked

"There are some people in the Liang Kingdom who are against the Sui Dynasty. You should be more careful when traveling here."

"I know."

Yang Gao said goodbye to Su Wei and Cui Hongdu and came to Jiangling Ferry. The seventh prince Xiao Jue has been waiting for a long time. Xiao Jue, whose name is the same as in the same text, is 12 years old and is granted the title of Prince of Ngee'an County. Xiao Jue wears a young master's belt on his head and wears Tsing Yi. Supao, elegant by nature, the best in landscape poetry, and similar in age to Yang Guang, it was perfect for him to accompany Yang Guang on a river cruise. When the two met, they had very similar temperaments, so they boarded a boat together and went out to enjoy the scenery. Yang Guang stood on the boat Looking up and down the river bank, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. There are woodcutters working hard for firewood, and there are also the bustle of fishing boats passing by. The lush green trees, shady hills, and outstanding people make you feel very respected.

Yang Guang praised:"I have heard about Jingjiang for a long time. This place is like a nine-winding ileum. Today, I will be filled with emotions while wandering around."

Xiao Junyan said:"Since the end of the Han Dynasty, Jingxiang has been an important area, and its fate has been linked to the north and the south. It has been fought over by military strategists. I don't know how many heroic heroes have passed away, and how many poets have been entrusted with it."

As the boat sailed gradually, the villages on both sides of the river were happy, and the birds and egrets were all in their own places. The poetic and picturesque scenery became more intense, which made Yang Guang very happy. Xiao Jun said:"This is the Jiuqukou. Walking along the river, the twists and turns echo. If Brother Wang is amorous, it is better to leave a note here, and this trip will be worthwhile."

Yang Guang was very interested, and he was moved by the scenery on the river again, and said:"I am the same way."

Xiao Jue shouted:"The pen and ink will serve you."

A servant next to him brought pen and ink, unfolded the rice paper, and Yang Guang said:"In this case, Brother Yu has made a fool of himself."

"Brother Wang, please."

Yang Guang held his sleeve with one hand and moistened the pen with the other, and wrote slowly, titled"Ambition": The jackdaws are flying around, and the running water is surrounding the isolated village.

Where the setting sun is about to set, one glance is gloomy and soul-crushing.

"Wonderful, wonderful."Xiao Jue said happily:"Brother Wang's poetry makes people linger and feel endlessly disappointed."

Yang Guang was a little happy to be praised, and he bowed and said:"The county king has given me the award. Such a beautiful scene really makes Yang Guang beyond words."The two were being respectful to each other. Yang Guang suddenly felt that someone had pulled his sleeves. He turned around and saw that it was the person in charge, Zhang Heng.

Seeing Zhang Heng, Yang Guang understood what he meant and took a few steps back. Zhang Heng said in his ear:" I saw two ferries at the stern of the ship. I followed them and looked at us. Could it be a scam?"This leads to the following:

It is difficult to achieve two plans for a family, and marriage is a waste of time and effort. It is a waste of time to frame people and stop running, but it is a coincidence to encourage the couple to have a life.

If you want to know what happens next, let's look at the breakdown in the next chapter.
