After receiving the news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Prince Yang Guang had already started making arrangements and was preparing to take Crown Princess Xiao to Renshou Palace to attend to the illness.
This is a rule. The emperor is seriously ill, and as the crown prince, he must accompany him. Firstly, it shows the deep love between father and son, and secondly, it is to avoid any trouble in the crown prince's position.
Therefore, Yang Guang knew that there were many dangers in going to Renshou Palace, but he had to go.
But before going, he had to settle a lot of things.
In Qianqiu Palace, Yang Guang discussed matters with a group of confidants.
Pei Ju, Yu Wenshu, Guo Yan, Zhang Heng, Cui Hongsheng, Yang Xuangan.
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs came to report that the people who went with me to attend the illness include Yue Gong, Liu Shu, Yang Shuang, Yuan Yan and others."
After Yang Guang asked everyone to sit down, he dismissed the waiters and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think?"
Guo Yan took the lead and said: "Liu Shu is the only one who is worried. If I say something inappropriate, this thief may have rebellious intentions."
In fact, everyone agrees with this point. Recently, many of the Supreme's decrees are no longer conveyed through the Ministry of Internal History, but by Liu Shu. As a result, Pei Ju was sidelined and he did not know the contents of many decrees until the day they were read out.
The East Palace was even more embarrassed. It was clearly the prince who presided over the affairs of the court, but when it came to the final decision, it was always an imperial decree that suddenly came from the Renshou Palace, so that Yang Guang was stretched and in a dilemma.
Yang Xuangan's participation in this meeting today was actually because of his father's favor. If it was convenient for Yang Su to enter the palace, or if Yang Yue was still in the capital, he would not be able to get involved in today's scene.
I saw him saying: "Should we send people to secretly surround Liu Shu's house? If he dares to mess around in Renshou Palace, we will arrest him immediately."
I don’t know if this idea is good or not, but it’s definitely ruthless.
You know, Liu Shu's wife is Princess Yang Awu of Lanling and the biological sister of Prince Yang Guang.
Sure enough, when Yang Guang heard this, he immediately cursed in his heart, "How the hell am I going to surround someone's mansion before this happened?"
Besides, what if I catch someone? Can I kill my own sister?
This man is really stupid. Yu Wenshu couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could Yang Su, a great hero, give birth to such a fool?
"The imperial guards of Renshou Palace are not under our control. The prince is leaving, and there cannot be many guards around him. If something happens, it may be detrimental to the prince."
Then, Yu Wenshu looked at Pei Ju and said: "Once the left guard commanded by King Yuzhang, the Zuowu guard concurrently led by Pei Gong, and his own Zuowu guard are mobilized, it will definitely arouse the supreme alert, so the military government cannot move yet.
Does Mr. Pei have any ideas?"
Pei Ju thought for a while and said calmly: "I will meet with King Wei tonight. I hope he can help in the future."
Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, was Yang Jian's half-brother and the person Yang Jian trusted most. In the 10th year of the founding of the emperor, he took over the clan hussars from the clan elder Yang Shangxi. This army had a total of 3,000 people.
, is the most elite of the Sui Dynasty, a disciple of the Yang family.
The clan's hussars have always been by Yang Jian's side, and they have a three-party check and balance relationship with the left and right Yulin guards.
If Yang Shuang is willing to act as guarantee, the chance of something happening to Yang Guang in Renshou Palace will be smaller.
Yang Guang nodded in praise and said: "The rules of the world still hit the point. It's a pity that King Wei and Gu have a normal relationship and may not be willing to help each other."
"Now and then," Pei Ju said: "The only people King Wei respects are the two saints and the eldest princess. Among them, he is especially grateful for the kindness of the Queen in raising him. If he loves the house and the bird, he will be inclined to His Highness the Crown Prince."
The Aiwujiwu he mentioned refers to the brothers Yang Zhao and Yang Ming, because they are Dugu Jialuo's favorite grandsons.
As the younger brother of the emperor, Yang Shuang still wears the filial piety such as Zhan Sheng. This shows that Dugu Jialuo is no different from his mother in his heart. In fact, Yang Shuang was raised by Dugu Jialuo single-handedly.
Yang Guang nodded: "Shiju is doing things, Gu should rest assured, this matter should be done as early as possible."
Pei Ju nodded.
At this time, Zhang Heng said: "We should take one step in advance and deploy manpower near Renshou Palace in case something happens and the capital is too late to rescue."
"This is a very appropriate move!" Cui Hongsheng said: "The number of people should not be too large, preferably three thousand, so as not to reveal the truth and cause dissatisfaction to the Supreme Being."
"Very good," Yang Guang nodded: "We will discuss the specific details."
...
After the discussion, Pei Ju immediately left the palace and rushed to the eldest princess' mansion without stopping.
He didn't have the confidence to persuade Yang Shuang, but he had confidence in Yang Lihua.
Being woken up in the middle of the night, Yang Lihua said solemnly:
"You mean, Liu Shu might be unruly?"
"It's just a guess. It's really a helpless move to prepare for a rainy day," Pei Ju said: "The eldest princess should know what Liu Shu did during this period, right?"
Yang Lihua nodded: "I heard about it, but if you say that he dares to target Amo, I still don't believe it."
Pei Ju smiled bitterly and said: "The matter is serious, so we have to be cautious."
"What you are worried about is," Yang Lihua nodded: "Let's go to Prince Wei's Mansion with me now and explain the matter clearly. It is of great importance and he will know what to do."
"Thank you, Princess," Pei Ju said respectfully.
Yang Lihua waved her hand indifferently: "It concerns the Yang family, so there is no need to say thank you."
This is the influence of Yang Lihua. She does not have any real power, but she can influence many powerful people. The king of Wei, Yang Shuang, is two years younger than her. The two have lived together since they were young, and they have a close relationship.
...
Jingzhou,
On this day, Yang Ming received a report from the front office, saying that a woman calling herself Alou asked to see him.
Yang Ming was overjoyed and hurried to the door of the mansion to greet him.
Aunt Lou, also known as Dugu Bailou, has now completed one year of mourning in front of the Holy Queen's mausoleum. According to Dugu Jialuo's last order, she came to look for Yang Ming.
Now, Yang Ming finally knows the other party's true identity, Dugu Xin's illegitimate daughter, and Dugu Jialuo's half-sister.
Because Dugu Bailou's mother had a bad background, this past has always been a secret and few people know about it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Dugu Bailou took off a long knife from his back and handed it to Yang Ming:
"Remember? I said I wanted to teach you sword skills?"
The Yang Ming in front of him was already a strong grown man. Looking at it, Dugu Bailou felt that time flies by, and the scene of holding Yang Ming and feeding the wet nurse seemed to still be before his eyes.
When Yang Ming saw Dugu Bailou, it was no different from meeting his relatives. He hurriedly invited her to the inner garden and asked Yang Yinjiang to arrange a residence.
"Mommy, you won't leave again, right?" Yang Ming personally brought tea over and said with a smile.
Dugu Bailou shook his head: "Sister, you want me to continue to take care of you, so you have to provide for me until the end of your life."
"It's natural," Yang Ming was overjoyed.
"But before that," Dugu Bailou took a sip of tea and suddenly raised his head and said, "We have to do something first."
Yang Ming nodded and said, "You say."
Dugu Bailou said: "You have to find a way to rescue Feng'er first. I found out that Feng'er was taken to Jingzhao Temple in Niu'er Mountain, but I went there and couldn't find anyone. I heard from the nuns,
Feng'er only stayed here for one night before she was taken away. As for who she was taken away by, they don't know."
"So that's it..." Yang Ming smiled and nodded: "Then I know what to do."
Next, Yang Ming took Dugu Bailou to the dormitory where Dugu Feng'er was placed. When the latter saw Dugu Feng'er playing in the yard, his body was shaken and tears burst into his eyes.
Dugu Feng'er stared blankly at Ah Lou standing outside the courtyard, pouted her lips, and cried out:
"Mom..."
This was the first time Yang Ming heard her speak.
The two women immediately hugged each other and cried together.
After all, they are both members of the Dugu family, and Dugu Feng'er has been in Yong'an Palace for several years after entering the palace, so naturally she is very close to Dugu Bailou.
A heart ailment requires heart medicine. Yang Ming also didn't expect that the first time Dugu Feng'er spoke, it would be like this.
Yang Ming didn't want to disturb their reunion time and left quietly.
After a while, Dugu Bailou let out a long breath, wiped the tears on Feng'er's face, and said softly:
"This kid has a conscience and knows how to take you away."
Dugu Feng'er pursed her lips and smiled stupidly.
Alouxiao asked: "Do you know who he is?"
Dugu Feng'er nodded.
"Silly boy, do you really know, or are you pretending to know?" Alou said with a smile.
Dugu Feng'er still nodded.
Alou said: "He is Yang Ming, your former husband."
Dugu Feng'er was suddenly stunned. After a moment, she smiled and nodded.
"Silly boy," Dugu Bailou said, "Okay, okay, I feel relieved when I see you. From now on, grandma will live with you."
...
The officials took away Murong Sanzang's team, but Pang Tao and his men caught up with them five days later.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time. One side refused to let people go, while the other side insisted on taking people, which almost resulted in death.
Cui Hui, the doctor in the examination department, saw that the other party had a strong attitude and knew that it was impossible for him to take the person away this time.
This was a fight between gods. As an errand runner, he really couldn't put himself in danger. Seeing that the gang of vulgar warriors on the opposite side was about to attack the convoy again, he hurriedly sent someone to come forward to negotiate a peace.
Pang Tao, a young man who relied on the support of Yang Ming, was also very aggressive. He didn't pay attention to the sixth-rank officials at all. After seeing the other party's submission, he even brought someone over to reprimand him.
"I said Mr. Cui, you really don't know how to praise me. In the land of Jingzhou, you dare to take people away without saying hello. You have been an official for so many years in vain."
Cui Hui's face turned blue and white after being scolded by him, but there was nothing he could do. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, but this stupid boy in front of you will not be reasonable with you.
"People, you can take them away, but please tell King Hedong that Master Shangshu has to ask King Hedong to give an explanation."
"Give me your head!" Pang Tao shouted sharply: "Come here, take him away."
Then, several members of the royal family came forward, took over the carriage, then turned the carriage around and headed back towards Jiangling.
Before leaving, Pang Tao said another sentence:
"Tell Sir, our Highness is still waiting for his explanation."
After that, Pang Tao flicked his horsewhip and led the people away.
