The news that Zhao Ziliang led his troops back to the Western Qin Dynasty spread quickly.
Business travelers from various countries traveling between the East and the West quickly spread the news that Zhao Ziliang was canonized as the King of the Western Qin Dynasty by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Central Asia, South Asia and Western countries then regarded the Western Qin Dynasty as the King of Western Qin.
It is called the West Qin Kingdom and is a tributary of the Eastern Tang Empire.
The West Qin Kingdom is located at the middle node of the Chinese and Western trade routes and is one of the most important components of the trade routes.
Therefore, Central Asian and Western countries have sent envoys Come to the Western Qin to establish diplomatic relations.
After spending half a month with his wife and children at home, Zhao Ziliang began to deal with affairs.
The first was Yang Yuhuan's matter.
This was a big event.
According to the news received by the outside world, Yang Yuhuan was buried after Xuanzong's death, so everyone knew Yang Yuhuan died, but she lived alone in a small courtyard in the backyard of the Xi Qin Jiedushi Mansion.
It is also inconvenient for Zhao Ziliang and his family to always let her live in the backyard of Jiedushi Mansion.
Yang Yuhuan has already raised this point in the first few days after arriving and asked to move out.
Zhao Ziliang has also considered it these days.
On weekdays, the female relatives of officials in Western Qin often interacted with his family members, so it was inevitable that their sighting of Yang Yuhuan would cause speculation.
On the first month of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, just after the New Year, Yang Yuhuan came to see Zhao Ziliang again.
Zhao Ziliang was practicing martial arts.
When he saw her coming, he stopped, wiped his sweat, asked Yang Yuhuan to sit down, and asked, "Yuhuan, what's the matter again?"
Let’s talk about moving out.”
Yang Yuhuan nodded and said: "Well, since the death of the late emperor, on the other hand, I have been relieved.
I came to the Western Regions to travel around the mountains and rivers, understand the customs and customs of the foreign people in various places, and appreciate the folk life in the Western Regions.
I It's really inconvenient to live here with you, and I almost Ten maids are overcrowded here, making the backyard very messy.
You should find another place for me.
On the one hand, I can accommodate these maids, and on the other hand, I can practice Taoism with peace of mind.
If I get bored on weekdays, You can go out for a walk, I don’t feel comfortable here”.
Zhao Ziliang took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment and then said: "If you really want to move out, I can promise you, but you also have to promise one thing.
The late emperor left a legacy and asked me to take good care of you.
If anything happens to you, I will not be able to explain to the late emperor a hundred years later.
Since I have accepted the late emperor’s decree, I must carry it out to the end until the day I die.
I don’t want to be known as disloyal.
If you can help me, I will not interfere with you in any way.”
In the Tang Dynasty at this time, everyone puts loyalty first and honesty first, and must do what they promise.
Honesty is the foundation of life.
People without integrity will be spurned by others.
Such people have no friends. , far less than the people of later generations who can abandon anything for the sake of profit.
Integrity is just a word.
You can go back on what you promised at any time, and you can turn your back faster than turning the page of a book.
Yang Yuhuan asked: "What did you want me to promise you?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "First, your Taoist name needs to be changed.
You can no longer call it Taizhen.
You can change it to Taihua or some other Taoist name.
In short, you can no longer call it Taizhen.
Secondly, if you want to travel far away, you must Tell me; third, I must send someone by your side to protect your safety, otherwise I will not rest assured that the people protecting you will not disturb your lives, and you can treat them as if they do not exist."
Yang Yuhuan thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, I promise you."
Zhao Ziliang added: "Hengluosi City was originally a small city with only a few thousand residents, and the rest were garrisons.
Later, the Beiting Protectorate moved here.

After so many years of expansion, it has grown to a large scale.
Most of the houses in the city They are all newly built in a unified way.
I will first find someone to find a larger new house for you to live in, and at the same time send They are building a Taoist temple for you outside the city.
When the Taoist temple is completed, you can move there.
I have taken people to look for it in the past few days.
There is a relatively flat hillside next to the site where the Western Qin government plans to build a palace for me.
It is suitable for building a Taoist temple.
If you have nothing to do later, come with me to have a look.
If you are satisfied, build the Taoist temple there."
Yang Yuhuan might have been bored staying in the backyard, so he stood up immediately and said, "I'm free all day now, let's go."
Zhao Ziliang smiled bitterly and said: "There is no need to be so anxious, you have to let me change my clothes."
An hour later, Zhao Ziliang took Yang Yuhuan to the foot of Qianquan Mountain.
The two dismounted and climbed up the mountain on foot, followed by soldiers and maids.
At this time, a large number of laborers were building the Western Qin Palace up and down the mountain.
Ever since Beiting received the official document from the court, they began to select the site.
After the site selection, as soon as the design drawings came out, construction started soon.
Encountering a steep place, Yang Yuhuan couldn't go up, so Zhao Ziliang could only pull her up.
After coming up, she stood on a flat rock and looked at the busy people down the mountain and asked: "Ziliang, how many people are there here?"
Build a palace" Zhao Ziliang said: "There are more than 23,000 people in total, all of whom were captured by the cannibals when they were defeated.
Among these prisoners are not only the cannibals, but also the local Sogdians and the Tocharians from the south.
Look, , within five miles from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it is the scope of the royal palace.
It is the inner city of Hengluosi City.
The Hengluosi River separates the royal palace from the outer city.
The main building of the royal palace will be built from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. , the architectural style adopts Eastern and Western Combined, except for the windows, all stones and cement plaster are used.
Some load-bearing walls also have steel bars added inside to increase the load-bearing capacity.
A winding mountain road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is now being built.
All the stones needed to build the palace are sourced locally.
In the future, residential areas and commercial areas will be built around the mountain where the palace is located, with the palace in the middle.
In a few years, the palace will be the center of the city.
Do you know why this mountain is called Qianquan Mountain?"
Yang Yuhuan thought for a while and asked: "Are there thousands of springs left on the mountain?"
Zhao Ziliang clapped his hands and praised: "Yuhuan is so smart.
He figured it out right away.
Yes, Qianquan Mountain got its name from this.
The highest point on the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and springs flow down all year round, so the palace was built After completion forever There will be no shortage of water far away.
There are many hot springs on the mountainside and on the top of the mountain where you can bathe.
Not only must we build this palace majestic and towering, we must also build it into a peerless castle with super strong defense, making it difficult for the enemy to Break it" Qianquan Mountain is hundreds of miles long, and the scope of the palace is also limited.
It is impossible to include all of Qianquan Mountain within these hundreds of miles.
After the palace is completed, barriers and fortresses will be set up in dangerous places to isolate them and prevent foreign enemies from going up the mountain from other places.
Enter the palace.
Yang Yuhuan asked: "Will this cost a lot of money?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "It will definitely cost some money, but not a lot.
You see, the laborers are all prisoners, and the materials are all taken locally.
There are only cement ash, steel bars, wood, food and clothing for the prisoners, carving and painting craftsmen, and officials The salaries of the overseers cost money.
According to officials’ calculations, the entire palace will require approximately 12 million dollars.

With the current number of workers, it can be completed within two years.”
Yang Yuhuan has lived in the palace for a long time and has no concept of money at all.
He has no reaction at all to Zhao Ziliang's 12 million guan.
The current annual fiscal revenue of the entire Western Qin Dynasty is about 9 million guan.
If this palace is to be built, To complete it, it would take a year and a half of the fiscal revenue of the entire Western Qin Dynasty.
This is because manpower and material resources are free.
If manpower and material resources are included, even 50 million yuan will not be enough.
Yang Yuhuan asked: "Where is the Taoist temple you plan to practice for me?"
"Over there" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and pointed to a flat place next to him and said.
Yang Yuhuan looked in the direction pointed by his arm and saw a flat land, but she didn't see a road to get there, so she asked, "Why is there no road?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Because it is a Taoist temple, you cannot walk from the palace.
The workers will dig a path from the other side to the Taoist temple.
On the one hand, it will be convenient for you to go down the mountain to buy food and daily necessities.
On the other hand, it will be convenient for believers to go up the mountain to burn incense."
"Of course there is a road to the Taoist temple in the palace, but it is usually guarded by guards.
No one will go to the Taoist temple from this road.
Only you in the Taoist temple can take this road to enter the palace, and others are not allowed."
Yang Yuhuan looked at the place.
Although the terrain had some slopes, it was much flatter than other places.
It was completely suitable for building a Taoist temple.
The scenery was good and the view was broad.
He immediately said happily: "Yes, that's the place for the Taoist temple."
When will the construction be completed?”
Zhao Ziliang said: "Your Taoist temple is not large in scale and can be completed within three months.
If you have any requirements for the interior decoration of the Taoist temple, you can tell the official in charge of the construction supervision and he will arrange for the craftsmen to work according to your requirements."
Asked to do it” "Okay," Yang Yuhuan said, turning around and looking at the scenery in the distance down the mountain.
The Hengluosi River passed through the foot of Qianquan Mountain like a white jade belt.
Both sides of the bank were green and green, with countless trees and fertile fields.
In the south, there were large tracts of land.
Farmland, in addition to farmland in the north, there are large grasslands in the distance, with countless cattle and sheep dotting this green picture, and further away and to the west is the endless yellow-orange desert.
Seeing such a picture-like beauty and exquisiteness, Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but said: "What a beautiful girl, this moment makes all my previous worries disappear."
Zhao Ziliang smiled slightly when he heard this: "It seems that you are indeed bored.
Please go out for a walk more in the future."
After returning to the city, Zhao Ziliang arranged a larger house for Yang Yuhuan and his maids.
They moved there in the afternoon.
This house had been empty, and now so many people suddenly moved in, it made the surrounding people feel uncomfortable.
Quite curious, people only knew that a noble person lived here, but did not know his identity.
Zhao Ziliang walked out of the house and waited for Yang Yuhuan to return.
He waved to Xuan Shiba who was not far away.
Xuan Shiba came over and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang ordered: "Arrange two groups of people, one in the dark and one in the dark, to protect them.
The people in the light should prevent irrelevant people from disturbing them, such as gangsters and gangsters in the city.
They should prevent bad people from sneaking in and causing harm.
They should not interfere or disturb them in normal times. life, let alone prevent them from entering and exiting.
The group of people in the dark should not show up unless their lives are threatened."

Xuan Shiba cupped his fists and said: "The general will finally understand":
