After a moment, Yang Yuanqing's personal soldiers lifted up the three arsonists, their hands tied behind them, and they knelt on the ground and were so scared that they were trembling all over.

"Give me your life!"

Two thin men begged for mercy. They were as big as dwarfs and looked like children, but in fact they were already thirty or forty years old. It was because of this kind of body disguise that they entered the colorful stage at night and were not easily noticed, thinking that they were naughty children.

Another tall and thin man closed his eyes and said nothing. He knew that he would be unable to escape the disaster, so he ignored him and became a mute.

"You three dare to burn my palace's color platform and destroy my treasure. I deserve to die!"

Yang Lihua thought that the white jade basin she brought out of the palace in the past was destroyed, with heavy casualties and a corrupt reputation. She immediately gritted her teeth with hatred. Yang Lihua never killed people easily, but at this moment, she wanted to tear the three of them into pieces.

"You kill us!"

The tall and thin man closed his eyes and said, "I can't say anything."

Two dwarf men kowtowed and begged, "This man is called Wang Qun. We were ordered by him. We are from Hanzhong. We are the first time we have entered Beijing. I beg the princess to spare our lives."

Yang Lihua walked up to them and asked coldly: "I want to know, who instructed you to do what you did?"

The tall and thin man snorted, but said nothing. Yang Yuanqing walked up and smiled and said, "Do you know why I caught you? I saw your secret conversation with Liang Shidu. Your name is Wang Qun, yes!"

The tall and thin man spat hard and turned his head again. Yang Yuanqing was not annoyed and turned to Yang Lihua and said, "Your Highness Princess, can this matter be left to Bei Zhi for full disposal?"

"Yes!" Yang Lihua nodded.

Yang Yuanqing then smiled at the tall and thin man and said, "Let's make a deal! Tell me the messenger behind the scenes. I'll let His Highness spare your life and let you leave the capital, how about?"

The tall and thin man lowered his head and said nothing for a while. Yang Yuanqing knew that he was moved, so he continued: "You should also understand that someone will definitely kill you to silence you. Even if I let you go, no matter Yu Gong and Si, you will definitely die. I think you should have this account in your heart. You and me have no grudges. Although you ruined the princess' treasure, the princess will not ask you for compensation, so as long as you cooperate with me, I will let you go."

Speaking of this, he quickly glanced at the two dwarf men from the corner of his eyes. The tall and thin man understood what Yang Yuanqing meant. He had the people who set fire directly and needed to find the mastermind behind the scenes. He also knew that the King of Qi would definitely kill him to silence him. Everyone had the instinct to survive. If he could survive, of course he wanted to ask for his life. The tall and thin man said in a deep voice: "If I say it, let me go tonight?"

"Yes!" Yang Yuanqing agreed.

The tall and thin man immediately knelt down in front of Yang Lihua: "Your Highness Princess, the matter of tonight is the King of Qi behind the scenes. He sent his subordinate Liang Shidu to contact us, and promised that after the matter was completed, he would pay me a reward of two thousand yuan. One thousand yuan was already paid in advance. If the treasure of Your Highness Princess's pot could be destroyed, he would pay me another one thousand yuan. Your Highness Princess, every sentence of the villain is true. I dare not deceive me at all."

"So it was his doing!"

A trace of deep hatred flashed in Yang Lihua's eyes, destroying her treasure, killing her servants, and defeating her reputation. Yang Hing was so vicious.

"Your Highness, your princess, why not give this matter to the emperor to make a judgment?" Yang Yuanqing suggested.

Yang Lihua shook her head, "For the emperor, this is just a small matter. He will not take it seriously if he destroys a few things and dies a few people. At worst, he will compensate me for a few things. He will not punish King Qi. Why should I humiliate myself?"

"But let it go?"

"Forget it? No!"

Yang Lihua sneered and said, "I will remember this in my heart. One day I will let him know how powerful I am and make him regret what he did today."

She pointed to several arsonists and ordered Yang Yuanqing, "Take them down! I don't want to ask about this."

Yang Yuanqing gave eyes to several personal soldiers, and the personal soldiers lifted several arsonists down. The tall and thin man shouted loudly: "You promised me, let me go tonight!"

"Don't worry, since I have promised you, I will naturally let you go."

The personal soldiers took them down, and Yang Yuanqing asked Yang Lihua again, "Your Highness, can you let them go?"

Yang Lihua sighed, "Since you have agreed, how can I make you break your trust? You can deal with it! I will just ask."

Yang Yuanqing nodded and walked out of the inner hall. A personal soldier immediately came up to ask for instructions, "General, will they go?"

Yang Yuanqing looked back at the inner hall and saw Yang Lihua talking to the three girls of the Pei family. He whispered: "Take them out of the city and kill them!"

"Where is that tall and thin man?"

"Kill them together!"

The Xiuwenfang fire that happened on the eve of the Zhongyuan Festival ended silently. Yang Lihua paid a million yuan to compensate the dead and injured in the fire. At the same time, she wrote a letter to Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, taking responsibility and taking all the responsibilities on herself.

But for Yang Guang, this was indeed a small matter. He suppressed Yang Lihua's memorial and did not make any comments, and the matter would be left to nothing.

The next morning, Yang Yuanqing brought his personal soldiers to the Yang Mansion in Anyefang. He set up a greenhouse in the square in front of the Yang Mansion. It was Yang Su's spiritual shed. Although Yang Su had been buried, the spiritual shed was not demolished for relatives and friends to come to worship their filial piety. It will be demolished in 9981 days.

The greenhouse was covered with long white veins, and a long table was placed in the middle of the table full of fruits, enshrined Yang Su's spiritual position. More than a hundred monks were chanting scriptures to save Yang Su, and more than a dozen children from the Yang family wore mourning clothes and knelt in front of Yang Su's spirit. At this time, Yu Shiji, the inner-shistor, walked into the spirit shed accompanied by Yang Yue and Yang Xuangan. This was the second time Yu Shiji came to chant filial piety, and his etiquette was very sufficient.

Yu Shiji was outstanding in literary talent and good at calligraphy. He wrote hundreds of imperial edicts for Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty within three days, without any typos. Every sentence was posted on Yang Guang's heart. Yang Guang could not find any change, which made Long Yan very happy. Yu Shiji became favored and joined the cabinet to participate in military affairs, becoming the leader of the seventh minister, and his power even surpassed his immediate boss, the inner historian Yang Yue.

Although the imperial court had a Ministry of Personnel, Yang Guang did not give them official power, but instead gave the official power to seven important officials in the cabinet, called Cao Qigui, which was changed every two years, but if there were no special circumstances, it would generally continue. However, this time, Yang Xuangan was re-elected as Minister of Rites and no longer became Cao Qigui. In fact, he was excluded from the category of important officials in the cabinet. Yuwen Shu, who had been silent for two years, was reused and became Cao Qigui.

Yu Shiji was the leader of Cao Qigui. In fact, the power to choose officials was completely controlled by him. He had the final say for whom he was above and below. He took the opportunity to sell official positions and make money, promoted him from above and above, and was given a high position, which made the court and the people excited. Although the court and the people were angry, many people wrote to impeach him, but Yang Guang turned a death. Yu Shiji took the opportunity to take revenge. All those who impeach him were dismissed from his post. From then on, no one in the court and the people dared to say bad things about him again.

Although Yu Shiji is arrogant and domineering, he has done a good job of superficial writing. In order to show his respect for his superior Yang Yue and his former minister Yang Su, he came to Yang Suling twice to sing incense. Yu Shiji knelt down in the cushion and kowtowed three respectfully. The filial sons and grandsons on both sides knelt down and kowtowed back. Yu Shiji immediately gave Yang Su three incense sticks.

"Envoy Yu, please come here!"

Yang Yue accompanied Yu Shiji to sit down at the table next to him. Yu Shiji stroked his beard and sighed: "Situ has been buried yesterday. The emperor personally helped the spirit. The emperor is grateful. I think Situ's spirit in the sky can also be in peace."

"Thank you, the envoy of Yu, come to praise you twice!" Yang Xuangan bowed and thanked.

His father has passed away and the Yang family has obtained the rightful status. At this time, they are more concerned about the interests of living people. Yang Xuangan's eldest son Yang Jun has been appointed as the magistrate of Shangdang County for five years. Yang Xuangan wants to transfer him to the capital to become an official. Secondly, his second son Yang Rong was dismissed from the military position of the King of Qi's military officer for his rude words more than a year ago. Now he sits at home and does nothing, and Yang Xuangan also wants to find a position for him.

When Yu Shiji came to mourn these two things for the first time, Yang Xuangan had already told him vaguely that he would not have both sons' official positions solved, at least Yu Shiji should have helped solve one of them for the sake of his father. This was a mere effort for him.

"Envoy Yu, I told you about that last time, I don't know." Yang Xuan couldn't help but remind him when he saw that Yu Shiji didn't mention his two sons.

Yu Shiji was in a difficult position, "Shangshu Yang, I'm very difficult to deal with that matter. I have seen the Ministry of Personnel Examination of the Lang. Last year, the evaluation was Zhongzhong, and his morality was not dependent on it. According to the court's regulations, he must be ranked as the top for three consecutive years before he can be transferred to the Beijing official. As for the second son Rong, I will pay attention to that if there is a suitable position in the future, I will give priority to him. Shangshu Yang, I'm really sorry."

Yang Xuangan was secretly angry. Two days ago, Su Wei's nephew was promoted from a county lieutenant to a doctor of the Ministry of Rites. He knew very well about this. Su Wei didn't give any gifts, just a favor. Yu Shiji was willing to give Su Wei this favor, but he had to do his job in his own business. As for the second son Rong, he obviously refused. I don't know when the "future" that Yu Shiji said was?

Yang Yue couldn't stand it anymore. Yu Shiji had come to mourn twice and gave him enough face, but he was willing to do it again, right? Has his brother just passed away, the world didn't buy the Yang family?

"Yu Shilang, isn't there a job as an internal historian in my inner history province empty? Yang Jun is very good at learning, so I'll give him this opportunity!"

Yang Yue is Yu Shiji's immediate superior, but his real power is far inferior to Yu Shiji. He can only use a negotiation speech, hoping that Yu Shiji can give him face.

Yu Shiji pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is it! I will ask the cabinet to discuss this matter. If everyone does not object, I will give him the post of the Inner Historian in an extraordinary way. What do you think?"

Yang Xuangan and Yang Yue looked at each other in surprise. They found it incredible. Did Yu Shiji refuse to even give this little face to the Yang family? He even came to Yang's house to praising his filial piety twice.

At this moment, a Yang family member rushed in from outside and said a few words to Yang Yue. Yang Yue's face changed and said to Yang Xuangan: "Yuan Qing is here, I want to come in to pay my condolences!"
