The real instigator behind Yang Ming's return to Beijing this time is Yang Lihua.
Yang Lihua was originally the Queen Mother of the old Zhou Dynasty. She had a natural sensitivity to changes in the political situation. Although she didn't want to think about it, she understood that her father's time was running out.
When the prince Yang Guang succeeds to the throne, something will happen to the boss Yang Yong. Now, the only ones who really want to protect Yang Yong are her and Yang Ming, who has made an agreement with her.
Therefore, in Yang Lihua's opinion, Yang Ming must return to Beijing and plan with her.
That night, during a secret meeting with Wei Wang Yang Shuang, Yang Lihua instructed the other party to find a way to get Yang Ming back. Yang Shuang and she were relatives who grew up together, so naturally they would not refuse, so she strongly recommended Yang Ming in front of Yang Jian.
Ming.
After settling things in Jingzhou, Yang Ming was divided into five batches and returned to Beijing one after another. After all, there was too much luggage. The property in the treasury alone could be loaded into nearly a hundred carriages.
His departure has left a vacancy in the general manager of Jingzhou. The budgets of various states and counties for the coming year will be directly submitted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for approval until a new general manager takes over.
It usually takes about a month and a half to get from Jingzhou to Daxing. Just after halfway through the journey, Yang Yinjiang's body started to react, and she kept vomiting and lost her appetite.
Yang Ming knew that the other party was pregnant.
Alas... I am only sixteen years old this year and I am going to be a father.
Because Yang Yinjiang's reaction was too violent, he had no choice but to postpone the movement of the convoy, rest in Xiyang County, and send someone to quickly report to the capital that the Princess of Hedong was pregnant.
Renshou Palace, after receiving the news, Yang Guang happily went straight to Renshou Palace.
"Congratulations to my father, congratulations to my father, I'm very happy for Yin Jiang."
At this time, in addition to Mrs. Chen of Xuanhua, there were also Yang Su and Liu Shu in the hall.
Yang Su was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly saluted Yang Jian:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are going to have a great-grandson."
In fact, Yang Jian already had a great-grandson, and many of the concubines who deposed Prince Yong had children. Qin Wangjun's legitimate son Yang Hao also gave birth to a son last year.
But none of them can compare with Yang Ming, because Yang Ming is the crown prince's legitimate son, and his child is Yang Guang's legitimate eldest grandson.
Of course Yang Jian was happy. At his age, nothing made him happier than giving birth to an heir.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, he asked, "Where are Ming'er and the others going?"
Yang Guang said with a smile: "Yinjiang's illness is serious. The children are temporarily staying in the Xiyang County Official Posthouse. They will not go on the road until things get better."
Liu Shu on the side looked very happy, but he was already unhappy in his heart.
Yang Ming was suddenly transferred back to the capital, which gave him a premonition that something was not good. This boy was notoriously difficult to deal with. He had a high reputation in the court and was respected by all the elders.
When I come back this time, I will most likely have to confront myself, so I have to be on guard.
Yang Jiandao: "Immediately send people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the serving maids to Xiyang. I want to ensure the absolute safety of the child and his mother and concubine. By the way, let Yang Xuangan go too. I will serve you carefully."
In the Sui Dynasty, premature death of children was very common because medical and health care was not perfect. Fortunately, the royal family paid great attention to this, so the premature death rate was much lower than that of ordinary people.
Yang Guang was very happy, and Yang Ming and his wife were also proud to have conceived their grandson so quickly.
Of course, it would be best if it was a boy, but it's a pity that we can't tell yet.
Folk methods have been circulating for a long time to find a man and a woman. If you can guess right, luck is mostly involved. As for sour boys and hot girls, sharp boys and round girls, these are all superstitious and inaccurate.
After Yang Guang left, Yang Su even praised Yang Ming and his wife in front of Yang Jian.
If Yang Yinjiang successfully gives birth to an heir, it will be a great achievement. In Yang Jian's heart, it is tantamount to the achievement of opening up territory. Especially since he is the first grandson of the prince, one can imagine how favored he is.
Yang Su felt so happy, her granddaughter was so awesome.
Renshou Palace has dispatched two thousand palace people to Xiyang County to serve pregnant women. Most of these people are very experienced elderly palace ladies.
Over in the East Palace, after receiving the news, Concubine Xiao personally took people out of the capital to take care of her daughter-in-law.
In March, the fourth year of Renshou,
After Yang Yinjiang's fetus was stable, she returned to Daxing with the team. Emperor Yang Jian rewarded her with a special reward and gave her a mansion in Chongrenfang, where the Jin Palace was located, as a reward.
He also ordered Yang Ming to take care of his wife at home and not have to report on his duties early. Yang Xuan felt that his father was a noble daughter and granted him the title of Lord of Shangzhu Kingdom, the first class.
The new house in Chongrenfang was named Hedong Prince's Mansion.
During this period, many women, including Concubine Xiao and Yang Chan, had been living in the palace, taking care of Yang Yinjiang, and there was an endless stream of visitors.
Cui Shi, the concubine of the boss Yang Zhao, also rushed back from Luoyang to visit.
This was the first time Yang Ming met his sister-in-law.
Cui Heng was very attentive. As the eldest sister-in-law, she personally served Yang Yinjiang. She took very good care of her and was very considerate. She spent most of the day talking to Yang Yinjiang to relieve her boredom.
This made Yang Ming's favor increase greatly.
It's strange, why is such a good sister-in-law not welcomed by her eldest brother? She looks absolutely classy and is as gentle as water. What is the problem between the couple?

Yang Ming felt it was a pity, but he had no way to control it, not even his father and mother, and his eldest brother would not listen to him.
In his spare time, Yang Ming went to the right leader's military mansion. He wanted to know who was under his command.
You don’t need to know too much, those in power should at least know.
There is a general in charge of the left and right military offices, and there is a long history below, and there is one Sima each. There is no general position.
In fact, among the twelve guards of the Sui Dynasty, only the left and right prison gate mansions and the left and right leading army mansions did not have generals, while the other eight mansions did.
The chief historian of the Youling Military Mansion was born in the Xue family in Hedong. His name was Xue Shixiong. This man was not well-known, but he had a son who was very famous in history books, Xue Wanche.
Sima, who leads the army on the right, is from the Li family in Longxi. He is the second son of Li An, the former general of the left and left, Li Chen, and the second brother of Li Xiaogong.
From now on, Yang Ming is the right-hand general of the army, ranking eighth among the twelve guards. His main responsibilities are patrolling the west side of the imperial city and guarding the gates of the imperial city.
Guarding the imperial city has always been a top priority. Back then, Yang Jian could only trust Yang Shuang. Now Yang Ming takes over. This shows that in Yang Jian's heart, Yang Ming is someone he can absolutely trust.
The normal establishment of the right leader's military mansion is 18,000 people, divided into three shifts of 6,000 people each, and the defense is changed once a quarter. Except for the sergeants on duty, everyone else will return home to plow the fields and work.
Work.
The imperial military system of the Sui Dynasty was like this. There was no salary, but there were more fields under the name. Using the fields to support the soldiers saved a lot of expenses.
As for the subordinate minister Na Yan, he was in charge of reviewing government decrees and sealing refutes, preparing for the emperor's advisors, and had the power to give advice. This was the real position of real power, and his status was actually higher than that of the six ministers.
The subordinates of Sheng Na Yan are all part-timers. Currently, there are seven people: Gao Jiong, Yang Su, Su Wei, Niu Hong, Yang Shuang, Pei Ju and Yang Ming.
Although Gao Jiong was dismissed from office, his position as a disciple of Nayan was not stripped away. However, it was equivalent to a false position at the moment. After all, he could no longer enter the palace.
This time, Yang Ming has truly entered the central organization and can discuss national affairs.
He is only sixteen years old this year.
Because the prince Yang Guang went to the Renshou Palace to attend to his illness, the current government affairs of the Sui Dynasty were in a mess. All affairs had to be reviewed by the Minister before reporting to the Renshou Palace. This wasted a lot of time.
Therefore, throughout the Chinese dynasties, the situation in the world depends entirely on the emperor. If he neglects his government, chaos will inevitably arise.
The key is, no one dares to persuade me yet.
Can you persuade Yang Jian not to recuperate from illness? Can you persuade Yang Jian to return to Daxing Palace to take charge?
Can't be persuaded.
All ministers must put loyalty to the emperor first. The emperor's health is more important than the lives of the people.
The emperor is heaven.
When Yang Yinjiang was four months pregnant, the warlocks and alchemists from all over the world came on stage. Their only mission was to find out whether the baby in Yang Yinjiang's belly was a boy or a girl.
Having boys and girls is different.
Boys have inheritance rights.
Over at Taichang Temple, people come every day to guide Yang Yinjiang in her daily life and diet. This is probably the most glorious moment in Yang Yinjiang's life. Everyone holds her in the palm of their hands, just because of her belly.
What I carry in my heart are the sons and grandsons of the dragon.
Eight out of ten warlocks said Yang Yinjiang was pregnant with a boy, and the rest said she was pregnant with a girl.
If you predict a boy, you will get a much greater reward than if you predict a girl.
The words of these people are also ambiguous. For example, Zhao Zhao, a Taoist priest who is highly regarded by Comrade Yang Guang, said: Conceive in the first month, which is the month when the yang energy is the strongest, and the possibility of giving birth to a boy is high.
This is pure nonsense.
Yang Ming himself did not favor boys over girls, but this time, he also hoped to be a boy, because he was so influenced by the people around him that both his mother and concubine and Yang Yinjiang almost believed it was a boy.
Yang Lihua just said that men and women are the same, and was given a fierce look by her mother, the concubine Xiao.
In the evening of that day, the drunk eldest brother Yang Zhao came. He was a man, so he was not allowed to visit in the dormitory. He could only find Yang Ming. The two brothers sat together again and had a drink.
"Do brother a favor and send your sister-in-law away as soon as possible," Yang Zhao seemed drunk, but he spoke soberly.
His elder sister-in-law Cui Heng is still living in Yang Ming's Hedong Palace and taking care of Yang Yinjiang. Yang Ming still approves of this elder sister-in-law in his heart.
"My elder sister-in-law is virtuous and a virtuous person," Yang Ming could only say.
Yang Zhao pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Brother, I won't hide it from you either. I intentionally abolished her and made Wei the main concubine."
"Can I know the reason?" Yang Ming asked.
Yang Zhao shook his head: "There are some things that big brother can tell you, and there are some things that I can't tell you."
"I understand," Yang Ming nodded.
The brothers have separated after all. This is a family matter. There is really no need for me to get into it.
"After all, it is not honorable to abolish a concubine. As a couple, I'd better try to leave a way out for her," Yang Ming said.
Yang Zhao didn't speak, but after a long silence, he nodded slightly.
