Chapter 51 Concerns from all parties
Daxing City, the capital of the Sui Dynasty.
At this time, the young Yang Guang was sitting in the study, holding a memorial in his hand, which was the urgent memorial made by Dugu Ming, the governor of Jiangdu, not long ago.
"Jade Emperor Pavilion? What a big tone." After reading it, Yang Guang handed the memorial to the minister who looked about 40 years old and had a slight beard standing beside him.
After taking the memorial, the minister took a look and suddenly showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then frowned tightly.
"Pei Aiqing, what do you think? Is Dugu Ming's report true?" Yang Guang asked.
This minister was Pei Ju, the incarnation of the evil king Shi Zhixuan.
Pei Ju respectfully put the memorial in his hand back on Yang Guang's desk, and then said.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is half true and half false."
"Oh, why?" Yang Guang asked.
"According to Dugu Ming's description, the Jade Emperor Pavilion is about tens of meters high, with a total of nine floors, and the building is exquisitely carved and painted. It is impossible to be completed overnight. I think it should be some kind of deception." Pei Ju said.
Yang Guang nodded in approval after hearing this. He also didn't believe in the saying that someone rose to prominence overnight.
Then Pei Ju continued.
"And the real thing is the strength of the mysterious girl. I think she is probably a real grandmaster. There were many people around at that time, and there were many knowledgeable people among them. Moreover, the world is so big that it is possible that she is a hidden grandmaster. As far as I know, martial artists will look younger to a certain extent after reaching the grandmaster level. Even an octogenarian will look much younger after reaching the grandmaster level. So I think this girl should be a master who has the ability to keep her youth."
"Grandmasters are not rare in the Sui Dynasty, but they are also extremely rare. I can't neglect them when I see them. Isn't it because of the grandmasters that the major families are so powerful?" Yang Guang said.
After Yang Guang finished speaking, he began to ponder. Pei Ju lowered his head in a proper manner, but his eyes gradually became sharper. I don't know what he was thinking.
Suddenly, Yang Guang slapped the table and said.
"Go to Jiangdu, I want to go to Jiangdu."
"Ah, Your Majesty, isn't it too hasty? If other ministers know, I'm afraid there will be another wave of memorials." Pei Ju said hurriedly.
"Humph, memorials? Aren't they all from these aristocratic families? They just want me to be in the palace every day so that they can bully others outside." Yang Guang snorted coldly.
"I have decided on this matter. I will leave the palace in three days. You will draft an imperial edict later." Yang Guang said.
"I obey your order." Pei Ju said.
Just as the two were talking, a small figure came over from behind stealthily. Pei Ju was stunned at first, and then showed a gentle smile.
"Ah." The figure came behind Yang Guang and shouted.
Yang Guang was startled and turned around quickly.
"Hehe, I scared you, Second Grandpa." It turned out to be a cute little girl about seven or eight years old.
Yang Guang's slightly angry eyes immediately turned into doting after seeing the little girl.
He picked up the little girl and sat her on his lap.
"Child, why did you sneak here again? Aren't you afraid that your grandmother will worry?" Yang Guang said softly.
This child is Li Jingxun, the granddaughter of Yang Lihua, Yang Guang's sister, the former empress dowager and the eldest princess of this dynasty. She has been raised in the palace since she was a child, and she is the only one who is not of royal blood and is canonized as a princess. Yang Lihua is more than 20 years older than Yang Guang, so although Yang Guang is only 30 years old, Li Jingxun calls him grandpa, but Yang Guang has always treated her as his own daughter and doted on her.
"Grandmother is chanting in the Buddhist temple again, and no one plays with me." Li Jingxun said while pulling the beads on Yang Guang's crown.
Hearing this, Yang Guang felt a little distressed. Although this child has everything in the palace, she only lacks playmates. Everyone carefully protects her. Yang Guang also experienced this feeling when he was a child.
Touching the child's head, Yang Guang thought for a while and said with a smile.
"Haha, I'm going to Jiangdu in a few days. Do you want to go?"
Hearing this, Li Jingxun's beautiful big eyes suddenly opened wide.
"Really? Is it true? I want to go, I want to go." Li Jingxun said excitedly.
"But, but will my grandmother let me go? Usually I want to go out of the palace to play, but she doesn't agree." Then Li Jingxun said with some worry.
"Don't worry, I will go to the imperial sister, don't forget that I am the emperor, haha." Yang Guang laughed.
"Yeah, thank you, second grandfather. Mu." Li Jingxun kissed Yang Guang on the face after saying that. Then he got off Yang Guang and ran away.
Looking at the lively and cute back of the child, the smile on Yang Guang's face could not disappear for a long time.
"Princess Jing, innocent and cute, lively and lovely, if you go with His Majesty, it will be a lot more fun." Bei Ju said.
At the same time, Dugu clan, Dugu Feng was also looking at the secret letter sent by Dugu Ming.
"Mysterious forces, Grandmaster, what is the origin of it." Dugu Feng said secretly.
After thinking for a while, Dugu Feng stood up and prepared to go to the small courtyard behind the family mountain to meet his mother, You Chuhong, the Dugu clan's top master and the only grandmaster of the Dugu family.
Dugu Feng came to his mother's residence, and before he went in, he heard the sound of someone practicing sword.
After Dugu Feng went in, he found that it was his youngest daughter Dugu Feng who was practicing sword.
"Cough..." Dugu Feng coughed. Dugu Feng turned around and saw that it was his father, so he stopped.
"Dad, why are you here?" Dugu Feng said.
"Well, where's your grandma? I have something to tell her." Dugu Feng said.
"I'm here." At this time, an old woman with gray hair but a face that looked about fifty years old came out with a cane in her hand.
Dugu Feng hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Mother."
"What do you need to come to this old woman in person?" You Chuhong asked.
"Mother, look, this is sent by Dugu Ming from Jiangdu. I think it's a little unbelievable." Dugu Feng handed the letter to his mother.
"Hmm? Dugu Ming? The one who is the governor of Jiangdu?" You Chuhong said as she opened the envelope and read it.
You Chuhong, who didn't care much at first, looked at it for a while, and her eyes suddenly became sharp, and the aura of the great master on her body burst out. The burst of aura almost made Dugu Feng and Dugu Feng, father and daughter, kneel down.
"Grandma." Dugu Feng shouted in some pain.
At this time, You Chuhong retracted her aura.
"Unbelievable, this matter is a little weird, what do you want to do?" You Chuhong asked.
"My son wants to send someone to Jiangdu." Dugu Feng said.
"Well, this matter must be investigated. If it is true, our Dugu family must win over the other party." You Chuhong said.
Su Yu's Jade Emperor Pavilion finally caught the attention of the major forces of the Great Sui Dynasty. Both the Dugu clan and the Yuwen clan decided to send people to Jiangdu to inquire about the news.
Not long after, the imperial edict came from the palace, saying that Emperor Yang Guang would go on a tour in three days, and the destination of this trip was Jiangdu where the Jade Emperor Pavilion appeared. In fact, it was not surprising that the emperor went to Jiangdu as a secondary capital, but this time he decided to go so hastily. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was for the mysterious Jade Emperor Pavilion.
So, many people began to write to Yang Guang and wanted to go together.
"Jade Emperor Pavilion, hum? No matter what your background is, if you are not used by me..." Yuwen clan, Yu Wenzhi, said gloomily, holding the imperial edict that had just been received in his hand.
Three days passed quickly, and Yang Guang's dragon carriage left the palace. The ministers accompanying him included Pei Ju, Yu Wenzhi, Dugu Feng and others, as well as two thousand imperial guards.
"I want to eat that, and that." Eight horses pulled the dragon carriage along the streets of Daxing City, with people kneeling on both sides, but the carriage was moving very slowly, because the little princess Li Jingxun had to stop from time to time. She had never left the palace before, and she wanted all the delicious and fun things she saw in the carriage. Yang Guang naturally agreed to this request, and they stopped and walked all the way. It took nearly an hour for Yang Guang to leave Daxing City.
Two flowers bloomed, each showing its own beauty. Su Yu had been paying attention to Shi Long's movements every day these days. This guy really couldn't hold his temper, and changed his three-day visit to the great scholar to a daily visit, which was exactly what Su Yu wanted.
"According to this, it won't be long before the task of collecting the first book can be completed." Su Yu thought in the Jade Emperor Pavilion.
"Hmm?" At this moment, Su Yu seemed to have noticed something, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"These guys actually found Jiangdu. I thought it would take some time." Su Yu said secretly.
Then Su Yu walked down and came to the first hall of Yuhuang Pavilion. Ah Qing was teasing Xiaobai out of boredom, while Ah Zhu and others were doing various housework.
"Brother Emperor." Ah Qing shouted a little depressed.
Su Yu smiled, knowing that the little girl had been feeling depressed recently.
"Ah Qing, Uncle Qiao, Brother Qiao and others are here." Su Yu said.
After hearing this, several people became excited.
"Really? Ah Zhu, go back to the house and get dressed, Feng'er is coming." Qiao Feng's mother hurriedly urged.
Ah Zhu's face turned red, but her body was very obedient and followed Qiao Feng's mother back to the room.
Su Yu walked to Ah Qing, then touched her head and said.
"Starting tomorrow, you can go out and play anytime."
