Chapter 396

King Qi sat silently, his so-called Guangwu ZTE dream was shattered, and Li Chongjiu also missed an opportunity to do Cao Mengde.

King Qi sat blankly for a while, his eyes gradually gathered from being confused, and he looked at Li Chongjiu and asked, "You can tell me bluntly, which shows that you are a gentleman. The lonely king dare not blame you. If you say so, you are going to come from Youzhou." Rise up, seize the world by yourself, and take the lonely king to Youzhou as a Marquis of Anle?"

Li Chongjiu was silent for a while, and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me, the Great Sui Dynasty is as old as yesterday, and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty was revived not just because his surname is Liu. Your Highness, it is better to accept the reality as soon as possible."

Yang Hao laughed suddenly, and said: "I know you look down on me. When the emperor was alive, he also looked down on me. Those officials clinging to me, they also looked down on me in their hearts, until they lost power and were imprisoned and lived in seclusion in the Qi Palace. I don't think so. As a nobleman of the Tian family, I, Yang Hao, just sit in this mansion, sit in the well and watch the sky, eat and drink all my life and wait to die? I never want to live such a happy life, otherwise I would rather die."

Li Chongjiu saw that Yang Hao lost his composure, and immediately asked: "Then, His Royal Highness Qi Wang, what do you think should be done?"

Yang Hao thought for a while, and said: "I can't do nothing, I want to prove to the world, since you think I can't make a great cause of Guangwu Zhongxing, then let me govern a county first, think of me as the king of Qi, It can't even govern a single county, just this Hengshan County."

If you are a sheriff, this is really bad governance.

Li Chongjiu secretly said in his heart, but he still didn't say what stabbed Yang Hao's only self-esteem now.Even if Yang Hao can really govern well, Li Chongjiu will not delegate the power of a county to him.But instead of taking him to Youzhou to make trouble, it is better to place him somewhere.

In this way, I can be regarded as worthy of King Qi, and I can repay the kindness of the beginning, as well as the gift of bow and gold.

Li Chongjiu sent a thick stack of household registrations to the counties on the table, then held up a few books, and said: "King Qi, there are nearly 50 households in Hengshan County, with a population of [-]. The people's livelihood is very difficult and complicated. Your Highness is in a hurry As a matter of fact, I am afraid it will be very difficult.”
Yang Hao said: "The county guard can't, but the county magistrate and other secondary officials can also. The lonely king was the governor of Yongzhou, Henan Yin, isn't he also well-organized?"

Li Chongjiu couldn't help saying that Yang Wei was the governor of Yongzhou, and Henan Yin was only in his early 20s. At that time, he was busy walking around the horse Zhangtai all day, and the official duties piled up and were handed over to his subordinates. This is also called experience.

Li Chongjiu said: "Back then it was a time of great prosperity, the world was peaceful, and the people were easy to govern, but now Hengshan County has just experienced war, the people's minds are settled, and the people are waiting for food. How could it be found in those days? Why don't you rule a county first if you wronged King Qi for the time being? "

Yang Hao was silent for a while, seeming to compare, and said: "That's all I can do. In the future, Hengshan will be my residence. As for my sister, go to Youzhou. You don't have to suffer with me here. My sister has a kind heart since she was a child. This time Her father's treason for Yu Wenhua was a big blow to her, I hope she can be safe and happy in the future."

Speaking of which, Yang Hao took a look at Li Chongjiu. He had also heard about Yang Ehuang's frequent visits to Li Chongjiu in the past few days. Could it be that his younger sister has taken a fancy to him.But after much deliberation, Yang Hao decided not to say anything, and immediately walked out of the lobby.

Looking at the sky, Yang Hao couldn't help but sighed.

After sending Yang Hao away, Li Chongjiu also let go of one of his worries.In Yang Hao's words just now, it seems that he entrusted Princess Changle to himself.

Princess Changle was born in the royal family, but she is a commoner. When the two met in the suburbs of Luoyang, their identities were very different.If you said before, Li Chongjiu was still worried that Princess Changle would be involved in the matter between himself and Yang Wei.

But now Yang Hao seems to have given up his plan of Emperor Guangwu.So between Princess Changle and himself, the obstacle to the relationship between the two has quietly dissipated.Li Chongjiu can finally face up to this feeling.
After Yang Hao returned to his residence, he sat on the bed alone and sighed for a while.

Princess Changle knocked on the door and entered, and said, "Second brother?"

Seeing Yang Ehuang, Yang Hao remembered what happened just now, and couldn't help saying quickly, "What are you doing here?"

Yang Ehuang said: "Second brother, I heard you sigh in the next room, so I came here. Did you go to see Lord Shanggu just now?"

After much deliberation, Yang Hao decided to clarify the matter with Yang Ehuang, nodded and said, "Yes, I have been there. My brother has decided to stay in Hengshan County and not leave."

"Why is this?" Yang Ehuang couldn't help asking.

Yang Yan said with a wry smile: "Brother, I don't want to do Guangwu Zhongxing any more. For the time being, I will just be a small official in Hengshan County."

Hearing that Yang Hao gave up his ambition to fight for the world, Yang Ehuang couldn't help but said with great joy: "Second brother, you really decided not to revive the imperial court."

Seeing that Yang Ehuang was happy for him from the bottom of his heart, Yang Hao couldn't help but feel warm, and when he thought that he had just taken him as a deal and wanted to bet on Li Chongjiu, his expression couldn't help but darken.

Yang Siji grew up with Yang Ehuang since he was a child, and they depended on each other all the way from south to north.The one who always treats me best in this world is still my younger sister.

Thinking of this, Yang Hao nodded and said: "It was Duke Shanggu who woke up my brother, and I thought about it, whether it is to revive the Sui Dynasty or to avenge the father and emperor, I am not strong enough now, so I must send someone under the fence first."

Yang Ehuang couldn't help weeping with joy when Yang Hao said this, the knot that had been entangled in her heart for more than a month finally melted away.

Yang Hao said: "Brother Wei is going to stay in Hengshan County, but what about you? Do you decide to stay with Brother Wei? Or go to Youzhou?"

Mount Heng?Youzhou?Yang Ehuang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that Yang Ehuang hesitated, Yang Hao knew a thing or two even if he didn't understand his sister's mind at this time.

Yang Hao said with a smile: "When the royal father and the queen mother named you Princess Changle, they hoped that you would be happy for a long time. You should not let down the wishes of the royal father and the queen mother. But as a brother, I can't take care of you by your side for the rest of my life. You have to figure out your own way.”

After a long time, Yang Ehuang silently recited these four characters and returned to the house, where Qu Yanran was also there.

Seeing that Emperor Yang E was lost in thought, Qu Yanran stepped forward and asked with concern: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Ehuang smiled and relayed the words of King Qi just now, saying: "Second brother, you have decided to listen to me and not to be an emperor."

Qu Yanran smiled and said, "That's fine, so you don't have to worry about that person having any conflicts with your brother in the future."

Yang Ehuang nodded earnestly, then sighed and said: "Then I go to Duke Shanggu's mansion every day. Although he treats me well, there is nothing else. I think..."

"Are you sorry?"

Yang Ehuang said frankly: "That's not true. It's just that he felt something wrong. At the beginning when he rescued me, he was just a commoner, but now I am in trouble. I have nothing but the princess status that is unattainable to outsiders. He is now a vassal, and he may become a king and emperor in the future. In his opinion, may it be the intention of falling flowers, but the intention of picking flowers."

The speaker has no intention but the listener has intention, Yang Ehuang's words just hit Qu Yanran's heart.

Qu Yanran turned her head but concealed her thoughts, and said softly: "Maybe it's not the case, your elder brother showed his favor to him in order to become the emperor, and you showed his favor to him, maybe he seems to be... is it for you?" Did you misunderstand what your brother meant?"

"According to my brother's wishes?" Yang Ehuang's face changed slightly after reading this.

"No, I have to explain it to him!"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Ehuang rushed out of the room in a hurry.

Inside the room, Qu Yanran was astonished. She thought that Yang Ehuang was so reckless, and rushed out of the room to explain to Li Chongjiu, she really lost her daughter's restraint.

Qu Yanran smiled knowingly, then her face darkened, and she said to herself, "Why was I not as decisive as her back then?"

Qu Yanran stood up, walked to the window and looked at the orchids blooming quietly in the courtyard, she couldn't help thinking, the orchids are so fragrant, and all the fragrances are arched together, and the fragrance is faint.If you don't pick but wear it, how can Yu Lan hurt?
After reading this, Qu Yanran couldn't help laughing at herself: "Orchids are beautiful, but looking up is like looking down."

Yang Ehuang lightly lifted the gauze skirt, moved lotus steps, and walked from the courtyard to Li Chongjiu's main hall. When he passed the water pavilion, he saw Li Chongjiu standing there, looking down at the fish swimming in the pond.
Yang Ehuang couldn't help slowing down, took a deep breath, and walked forward slowly.
