Regardless of all dynasties, defeating foreign invasions was an extremely exciting event, and in the Sui Dynasty, the news of Mayi County's defeat of more than 200,000 Turkic troops spread to Taiyuan, Hedong, Hebei, and the whole country was happy.

Celebrate.

The city of Taiyuan was full of boiling, and people spontaneously went to the streets to celebrate the victory, and celebrated the hard-won victory with joy from the heart.

Victory inspired people's enthusiasm to defend their country. In just five days, more than 300,000 young and strong people in various parts of the Sui Dynasty asked to join the army.

Although the Sui army suffered heavy casualties in the Sui Chu battle, it did not immediately recruit soldiers on a large scale, but instead began to fully implement the militia system.

At the instruction of Yang Yuanqing, the Ministry of War issued a militia order, ordering all counties and counties to establish militia before the end of the year, and concentrate young and strong training during the slack farming time. This is actually creating conditions for the next large-scale conscription.

When Yang Yuanqing returned to Taiyuan City, more than a month had passed since defeating the Turks. People's enthusiasm had gradually subsided. Millions of people who gathered in Taiyuan City to avoid war also returned to their hometowns and began to rebuild their homes.

To welcome the New Year, Taiyuan City has returned to peace and order.

It was mid-December, only half a month before the New Year. The city was filled with the atmosphere of the New Year. Every household changed peach talismans at the door, and the bamboo poles that picked banners were also erected early. There were groups of people everywhere in the streets and alleys.

The men gathered together to pound the Yuanri cake, the wooden hammer flew and the rice fragrance was everywhere.

Groups of children were running and playing in the snow, shouting happily, and there were all kinds of snowmen they piled up everywhere. Taiyuan City was filled with a festive and peaceful atmosphere before the festival, making people feel particularly peaceful inside.

Yang Yuanqing entered the city from the west gate under the escort of hundreds of personal soldiers. Although he had only left for more than two months, this time, Yang Yuanqing felt that he had been away for many years. He saw the tall place in Ci'an Temple not far away.

The tall white tower, Yang Yuanqing actually felt like he was a different world.

Although Yang Yuanqing could no longer enjoy the welcome occasion of singing and dancing in the city when he entered the city, he still realized a little difference from the previous one.

When pedestrians on the road suddenly recognized that the team of cavalry entering the city turned out to be His Highness the King of Chu, they all dodged to both sides and gave way. Many old men even knelt down and kowtowed to him.\\..\\

There are more and more people on both sides of Jinyang Street, and many people run out of their homes and stand silently on both sides of the road. Their eyes are filled with gratitude. They welcome the Emperor in their hearts with great sincerity.

.

Everyone watched the King of Chu move slowly in silence. At this time, someone shouted, "Long live the King of Chu!"

This shout was like a key, which aroused the silent crowd. The crowd on both sides of the avenue suddenly burst into earth-shaking shouts: "Long live the King of Chu!"

"Long live the King of Chu! Long live the King of Chu!"

Countless people raised their arms and shouted. This was a cry from the heart, and many people's eyes were wet. For them, the victory of the Turks in the Great Sui Dynasty was not just a victory in a battle, but made them see hope.

Seeing the hope of ending the war and restoring peace, they longed for a peaceful life and for not having war.

More and more people, tens of thousands of people had accumulated on both sides of the street, and the black crowd stretched for several miles. A patrol army of more than a thousand people also rushed over and under the command of the general, guarding both sides of the team to block Yang Yuanqing.

The people who were rushing forward were extremely excited.

Many people ran with Yang Yuanqing and shouted loudly. Many people knelt down and used their gifts to express their inner excitement and admiration.

Yang Yuanqing kept waving to everyone, feeling all this silently, and the enthusiasm and gratitude of the people made his eyes a little wet.

He could feel the heartfelt gratitude of his people, but at the same time he felt their desire for a peaceful life, not war or hunger.

Since the chaos in the middle of the great cause, it has been eight years since the world was in chaos. Everyone is tired of war and turmoil. They are eager to have children and do not have to worry about tomorrow's rice.

They once had such a life, which was in the prosperous Kaihuang era. Just over ten years ago, they were eager to live such a life again. At this moment, Yang Yuanqing felt the burden on his shoulders, which was to end the war as soon as possible and unify the whole world.

.

.........

When he came to the Chu Palace, he felt another welcome. The warm welcome on the street had already alarmed the whole family.

His wives and daughters, his sons and elders, as well as maids and servants in the mansion, were all rushing at the gate to wait for his return.

"Dad!"

The eldest daughter Bing'er and the second daughter Sihua waved her hand and jumped up excitedly, and ran towards him together. Yang Yuanqing quickly turned over and got off the horse, squatted on the ground, stretched out his arms, and the two daughters rushed into his arms like little family birds.

middle.

Yang Yuanqing hugged the two precious daughters tightly, and he was so happy that he was about to explode. At this time, his eldest son Yang Ning hesitated for a moment, ran over, grabbed his father's hand, he stared at his father, clear

There is an endless admiration in my eyes.

At this moment, Yang Yuanqing suddenly communicated with his son's heart. He stood up and touched his son's head. At this moment, the second son Yang Jing also ran over, grabbed his father, and looked at a group of cute children, and his heart surged.

I love my children.

"Dad didn't bring you any gifts this time!" Yang Yuanqing smiled.

"We don't want dad's gifts. We have a gift to give to dad." Yang Bing said with a smile.

"Why should I give me a gift?" Yang Yuanqing asked in confusion.

The second daughter Sihua xingwei was so hot. She was very quick and said it all at once, "Dad has forgotten? What kind of child is it for the New Year?"

As soon as she said that, Yang Sihua hurriedly covered her mouth and looked at the eldest sister in horror. Yang Bing looked at her complainingly, and blamed her for being too much and leaking the secret.

Yang Yuanqing was stunned, and then he remembered, wasn’t Yuanri his own child? He pinched the second daughter’s face and smiled slightly, “Dad is very stupid, I can’t remember what it is.”

Yang Sihua stuck out her tongue. She actually knew that her father had already remembered it. At this time, Pei Minqiu walked up, clapped her hands and smiled, "A few little guys have been pestering her father enough. Dad worked hard all the way and wanted to take a shower and change clothes. Then he went to dinner at night.

say."

Yang Yuanqing was about to say something to his wife, but Pei Minqiu smiled sweetly, "Not to say anything now, go take a shower and change your clothes first."

...........

After experiencing the joy of entering the city and the family affection of entering the family, Yang Yuanqing finally calmed down and could finally hide in the large and comfortable soft chair in his study. He had already taken a shower and changed into a loose Zen dress.

The light in the inner study room was half dark and half bright. A basin of charcoal fire had already been burned, which made the room warm. The room was filled with a dry and hot charcoal smell. Yang Yuanqing squinted his eyes, this kind of charcoal from the inside to the outside

Comfort almost made him fall asleep.

At this time, the door opened. Pei Minqiu brought a cup of ginseng tea and walked in. She put the tea cup on the table. Seeing that her husband was half asleep, she was startled and quickly wanted to leave.

"Talk with me!" Yang Yuanqing slowly opened his eyes.

"Honey, aren't you asleep?" Pei Minqiu smiled apologetically.

"I really want to sleep, but I just can't sleep." Yang Yuanqing smiled and struggled to sit up.

Pei Minqiu sat down next to her husband. She actually had thousands of words to say in her heart, but now she didn't know where to start.

"Tell me about the big things at home!"

Yang Yuanqing reached out to put his wife's waist and took her into her arms. Pei Minqiu snuggled in her husband's arms. She suddenly remembered the time when she first got married. At that time, her husband sat in front of the window and read a book.

I just snuggled in my husband's arms so kind, thinking about how many children I have in the future.

Ten years have passed in a flash, and she seemed to have found the feeling of being so nuisance back then, "Well! I will tell you slowly, let me lie down for a while now, don't talk."

Yang Yuanqing gently stroked the ends of her hair and smelled the faint fragrance of gardenia on her head. This was his favorite hair oil.

"Is Asduo pregnant?" Yang Yuanqing felt that the joy in Asduo's eyes was a little different.

"How do you know?"

Pei Minqiu sat upright. She had never written a letter to tell her husband about this. She wanted to give him a surprise, but her husband knew about it, which surprised her heart.

"By feeling, the person I was most worried about was her. After all, she would feel bad when she defeated the Turks. She thought she would be silent, but she was very happy, and that kind of joy was like something big to tell me in a hurry.

It seems, so I guess she is pregnant.”

"Your eyes! It's really poisonous."

Pei Minqiu smiled helplessly, "She is indeed pregnant. This should be the first major event in the family. Then the second major event is that your aunt is coming. She has already entered Hedong. Now she should be in Shangdang County. She is here to go with

Let’s celebrate the New Year together.”

Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed. His aunt was coming and he was reunited this year. He asked excitedly: "What else is good news?"

At this time, Yang Yuanqing's sleepiness had completely disappeared, and he was looking forward to his wife telling him about the news that surprised him.

"Well! The others are very ordinary, like the Queen Mother, the emperor went forward to live in our mansion. Is this a big deal?"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I know all these things, I mean family affairs."

Pei Minqiu thought about it again and hesitated: "There is another thing, a bit weird, I don't know what to say."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Yang Yuanqing found that his wife's expression was not right, and he felt a little uneasy.

Pei Minqiu bit his lips gently, and then hesitated: "About three days ago, Aunt Liu, who was responsible for pruning branches in the backyard, dug out a rusty copper box in the backyard while cleaning the snow. The box was

A white jade seal engraved with the words "Accepted by heaven, and live forever" and I blocked the news about this matter. Only Chuchen and I knew that Aunt Liu and the Housekeeper would never say it."

After saying that, Pei Minqiu said worriedly: "Husband, do you think this is God's will, or is it someone who deliberately puts it into our back garden? If it is the latter, it will be very dangerous!"

Yang Yuanqing also frowned slightly, "Take me the things first."
