A few days later, several official ships with carved beams and painted buildings arrived at Xiangzhou Port. From this moment on, Xiangzhou became lively and extraordinary, thus becoming the focus of Datang's attention.

The people on the official ship are not ordinary people. The prime minister of the dynasty, a veritable big name——Xiao Yu!

At first, when Qin Mubai got the news, he learned that the emperor had sent Xiao Yu to Xiangzhou, and he roughly guessed why he came.

To say that Xiao Yu has a lot to do with Yang Guang lying in the tomb. Yang Guang's queen, also known as Queen Xiao, was Xiao Yu's sister. In the former Sui Dynasty, Xiao Yu was already a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu at a young age and became the youngest member of Yang Guang's think tank.

Xiao Yu's grandfather is the Emperor Hou Liang Xuan Xiao, and his great-grandfather is Zhao Ming's prince Xiao Tong. The Xiao family has always been a famous family in Jiangzuo. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Xian, who was ruled by Jiangdong, was still Xiao Yuan's nephew.

And Xiao Yu has always been quite controversial.

Since his childhood, he has been well-known for his filial piety and he is good at learning ability books. He is not greedy for money, does not make sex, and dares to go against the dragon scales. Whether he served Yang Guang in the former Sui Dynasty, or when he was relied upon as his confidant by Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, whether he admired or followed Li Shimingui as the prime minister, he never changed a point.

Furthermore, it may be because of his family's origin. He also has some common problems of old officials-arrogance and despise people with lower ranks. When Wu De was okay, the great ancestor Li Yuan relied on him as his confidant, granted authority and entrusted him with important tasks. After Li Shimin became the throne, he had his own team, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others. Xiao Yu was jealous of them and had to be favored and reused, and secondly he looked down on their family. Moreover, he is a "perfectionist" who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, but if he is uncomfortable, he must be mercilessly reprimanding on the spot, no matter where and when he is.

For this reason, Li Shimin once praised him, "This person should not be lured by huge profits, nor should he be feared by punishment." He also gave a poem "Knowing the strong wind and strong grass, and knowing the honest minister." But because of his aloof temperament and persistent stinky temper, Xiao Yu was demoted several times in his life, but was used several times, just like a "tumbler".

At present, although Xiao Yu officially worships the prime ministers of the "Prince Taibao" and the "Tongzhong Shumen Lower Third Grade", it has been difficult to truly enter the court's prime minister team with Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling as the core to participate in major decision-making. But no matter what, the influence of Jiangzuo Xiao, a prominent family, is still there, and Xiao Yu's worth has not fallen much. From this point of view, Li Shimin sent him to Xiangzhou for the sake of Yang Guang's mausoleum, and he seemed to pay more attention to it.

Qin Mu white led Xiangzhou's officials and generals to meet him at the dock. Several huge warships were laden with cargo, and they were tightly covered with tents, for some reason. Along with it, there are more than 1,000 Jinwuwei Yulin Army, the momentum is not small.

The Chinese ship approached the port, and the ship's planks came up. The guards on both sides lined up and set up a battle. Xiao Yuan raised his hands on the bow deck to straighten his clothes and walked out of the ship.

"Qin Mubai, the chief lieutenant of the Xiangzhou Military Mansion, led the senior officials and generals of the whole prefecture to welcome Xiao Ge." Qin Mubai stood at the head of the officials, arching his hands.

All the officials will promise together: "Welcome to Xiao Ge!"

Xiao Yu raised his chin and looked around at the crowd, and nodded to Qin Mubai blankly, "Well", and said, "Why does General Qin bother and move the crowd like this? This pavilion is here on an order to do an errand. , It’s not for fun. If you can avoid it, you can avoid it!"

"Suwen Pavilion is honest and upright, really." Qin Mubai didn't care. It is normal for an "old revolution" like Xiao Yu to be a little arrogant and upright. What's more, he has always had such a temperament, and he spoke to the emperor half lukewarm, don't expect him to be polite and submissive to anyone.

Neither nonsense nor polite, Xiao Yu pointed his hand forward: "Thank General Qin to lead the way, let's talk to the governor's mansion!"

"Good too." Qin Mubai nodded in response, and asked Xue Rengui to lead the soldiers of the palace to clear the way. Pang Fei led the elite Yue cavalry of the military mansion to guard the Chinese army. A group of more than 1,000 people went to the Cishi Mansion. Away.

Xiao Yu didn't sit on the sedan chair, but instead rode a horse by herself, reticent all the way.

Pang Fei leaned close to Qin Mubai and whispered in a low voice: "This old man is really big! He's just an outdated prime minister. He has been demoted several times without losing his arrogance. I don't know him. What are you here for."

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Everyone has sex. He was born with such a personality. What can he do? It's not with us like this. When he faced San Gong Zaifu above the court , For example. His pride is in his bones. Jiangzuo Xiao family is a famous family for a century, maybe he looks down on the Li family who got up in Guanlong Bazhu Kingdom!"

"Haha, this old guy is also interesting." Pang Fei smiled, "Dare to love him for the rest of his life, just biting on the word ‘door number’."

"No." Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "But then again, he is actually a good person, stout, upright, filial, honest, and highly educated. Although his mouth and temper are good. It's a bit stinky, but he is better than those little guys who are so sweet-spoken and scheming."

"That's true!"

The brigade passed through Xiangyang County and stopped in the Governor's Mansion. Xiao Yu was not welcome, and sat down in the upper seat to drink tea. After resting for a while, he seemed to remember that there were a large number of officials and generals, including Qin Mubai, waiting for him to speak.

"Oh, this pavilion is unbearable, a little dizzy and uncomfortable. If you can take customary rituals such as washing the dust, you can avoid it. All of your colleagues can go back and rest by themselves!" Xiao Yu said with a wave of hands.

"Yes..." Everyone was naturally inconvenient to say more, and had to leave.

Qin Mubai naturally stayed. Xiao Yu's move was nothing more than trying to get rid of everyone and talk to him alone.

When everyone dispersed, Xiao Yu slowly sipped a cup of tea, and did not look at Qin Mubai, humming slowly: "General Qin, this time, you have done a great job!"

"I don't know Elder Xiao Ge, what does this mean?" Qin Mubai asked.

Xiao Yu gently put the tea cup on the table, stroked the gray beard a few times, lifted his chin slightly with a smile, and said with a bit of arrogance: "Return to Emperor Yu, like this Of course the credit is not small."

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, and said casually: "So, is that Yuxi true?"

"This pavilion has personally identified it, and it must not be faked." Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Before, the jade seal in your Majesty's hand was extremely forged. When it returned from Mobei, I I suspected it was fake. I also told His Majesty the emperor, but he didn’t believe it. It was as if the fake jade seal was regarded as true by the one who had won the treasure, and it was put on the royal case for several years. Fortunately, Now the true jade seal has finally appeared, and His Majesty finally believed in the vision of the old minister."

Qin Mubai held back a smile and said seriously: "Xiao Ge has served the Three Emperors through two dynasties, and his eyesight and insight are very comparable."

"That's natural." Xiao Yu smiled quite complacently, and then said, "In his early years, Yang Guang had kept the jade seal for me many times, and no one was more familiar with that game than I. A few days ago, His Majesty the Emperor Let Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Yu Shinan and many others identify the true and false. In the end, I thought of letting me take a look. The fake jade seal did not come from anybody. It was so true and very similar. If it weren’t for me. That Yuxi is familiar and familiar, I’m afraid it’s impossible to distinguish the true from the false."

"So, Elder Xiao Ge is really a blessed general of the emperor!" Qin Mubai smiled.

"If you want to say good luck, King Wu and General Qin are the true good luck." Xiao Yu looked at Qin Mubai sideways, with a bit of jealousy in his eyes, and said sourly. Next, you have found the real Emperor Yang's mausoleum, and you have also found the Jade Seal that has been missing for decades!

"Yes, luck is really bad." Qin Mubai was about to be amused by this "sour old man", barely held back, and said, "Old Xiao Ge, I want to ask you a question. Coming by decree, what is it?"

"Oh?" Xiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, "Didn't your Majesty send someone to deliver the decree to explain the reason for my trip."

Qin Mubai shook his head blankly.

"Cough!——" Xiao Yu coughed awkwardly, "Then why did you meet at the dock?"

"The humble post only knows that Elder Xiao Ge's coming by order, so he went to meet him. But I don't know what is going on." Qin Mubai simply told the truth.

Xiao Yu's face suddenly turned red, and he coughed again, and said: "Then you...go and call back the officials and generals, and this pavilion publicly announces the purpose of this trip."

"Elder Xiao Ge, the people are gone...Call back again, okay?" Qin Mubai whispered, "Why don't you tell me directly, let me go to the subordinates, so it will save trouble and effort? "

"No! This pavilion is ordered to do the job before going out, and can hide the head and show the tail?" Xiao Yu said sternly, "Hurry up and call those people!"

"Okay..." Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, this sour old man, who had been entrusted with him, thought that the emperor had preached a decree to say hello to him, but he did not expect to be affectionate. People in Manxiang Prefecture only know that he is here, but they don't know why he is here!

Qin Mubai had to send someone to call Zuo Du back to the officials who had dispersed. Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, but it didn't hurt Xiao Yu's face, so they all rushed back again, standing in two rows in the main hall of the governor's mansion, arching their hands together, doing a listening gesture.

Only then did Xiao Yu feel a bit of face, and announced his intentions seriously.

As expected by Qin Mubai, Xiao Yu was ordered by the emperor to bring a number of skilled craftsmen and civil engineering materials, and rushed to Xiangzhou in advance to prepare for the future "Emperor Yang's Mausoleum Ceremony." Xiao Yu also read out a manuscript from Li Shimin in public, saying that his majesty had ordered and ordered all officials in Xiangzhou to follow Xiao Yu's condemnation and assist him in the ceremony.

The time of the sacrificial ceremony is chosen at the time of the Nine-Nine Chongyang Festival three months later. Time is still a bit tight.

"The situation is roughly the same. What are the specific arrangements? This cabinet will inform General Qin, and then he will assign it. At that time, you will have to trouble the public, and you must be careful to do your errands carefully, and you must not make any mistakes." Strictly speaking.

"You must obey your humble duty!" Everyone had to say yes.

"Okay, let's go away first!"

Xiao Yu waved his hand again, and everyone dispersed again.

After everyone left, Qin Mubai asked carefully: "Elder Xiao Ge, are you done with everything? But what secrets are there to remind you of humble duties?"

Xiao Yu turned his eyes to ponder carefully, really thought for a while, and shook his head: "It seems that there is no more. When he was leaving, his Majesty had said that when he arrived in Xiangzhou, if there was anything he didn't understand, he would ask Qin Mubai. . If there is something undecided, it will be handed over to Qin Mubai. It can be seen that your majesty has considerable respect and trust in you. Then in the future, if I have anything or any request, I will hand it over to you."

"Well, okay." Qin Mubai nodded, laughed in his heart, and secretly said: Who doesn't know that you always come and walk through the scene, just a "representative", who really expects you to do anything?

"By the way, there is one more thing." Xiao Yu said, "You must build two Xingyuan Mansion before the ceremony."

"Xingyuan Mansion? Two more?" Qin Mubai couldn't help frowning, "Does the emperor want to kiss him?"

"How can your majesty come to pay homage to the last emperor of the previous dynasty? You really don't hesitate to say anything!" Xiao Yuan scolded him in the hall.

"Well, I was wrong, Xiao Ge, don't be angry." Qin Mubai smiled, "So, then it's going to build a crown prince's palace, right?"

"You are smart." Xiao Yu snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to the sacrifice of Emperor Yang, so he sent three members of the royal family to preside. One is the prince; the other is of course Xiang. The state governor Wu Wang Li Ke; the third is Jiang Xia Wang Li Daozong. Wu Wang has a palace to live here, and the old man has always been not paying attention to staying in the mansion post, but it is difficult for you to let the prince and Jiang Xia also squeeze with the old man. Under one roof? So, you can quickly start to build the ritual hall!"

"Okay, I see." Qin Mubai scratched his head, smiled helplessly, and said, "I just don't know when King Wu will return? This governor's state affairs, after all, is his job. "

"The pavilion is not known. If you want to know, Pegasus should go to Chang'an and ask your Majesty and King Wu." Xiao Yu said, got up and cut his sleeves to his back, and said : "My pavilion is tired, let's go to the post and rest. If you don't care, General Qin will send it off, so you can handle these matters!"

Qin Mubai looked at Xiao Yu’s back, couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head, secretly said: It's a proud old stone, no wonder the three emperors Yang Guang, Li Yuan, and Li Shimin liked him, hated them, and used them. Depreciated again.

Speaking of which, the emperor wanted to sacrifice Yang Guang in Xiangzhou for such a big move. First, of course, he wanted to show his emperor’s mind and win people’s hearts; second, the main purpose was to inform the world so that everyone in the world would know "True Yuxi Has returned", he Li Shimin is the true dragon emperor who is truly ordered by the sky.

Looking at this, Li Ke and I really made a difference!
