The fate of the old Chen family was actually lucky.
If Chen Shubao is killed, the whole family will be saved. His children will be fine, and his wife Shen Wuhua will be fine too.
There is no way. If you want to blame it, blame it on Chen Shubao, who was once an emperor.
Such an ending really couldn't be better for a subjugated clan.
Chen Shubao was buried in Beimang Mountain in Luoyang according to the standard of a county official.
Beimang Mountain is one of the 72 blessed places of Taoism. Since ancient times, it has been the burial place where princes, generals, ministers and dignitaries flock to.
Because of the good Feng Shui here, dozens of emperors and countless celebrities were buried here in history. Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Lu Buwei, Ban Chao, Du Fu, Di Renjie, Yan Zhenqing, Bai Juyi, Fan Zhongyan, and Chu Suiliang were all buried here.
Yang Guang took into account the reputation of the southern family, so he allowed Chen Shubao to be buried in Beimang Mountain.
Chen Shuyi has been buried in Yang Ming's arms and refused to leave for a moment.
Although her father cannot provide her with any protection, in her daughter's heart, her father is always the mountain and tree worth relying on.
But now, Chen Shuyi is gone, which makes her feel lonely and drifting like a rootless duckweed.
When Chen Shubao is here, she has a family. When Chen Shubao dies, Chen Shuyi doesn't even have a family anymore.
All night, Yang Ming tried to think of ways to comfort Chen Shuyi, but to no avail. It was normal. The pain of losing a father could not be relieved in a short while, although Chen Shuyi had always hated her father.
He also accompanied Chen Shuyi during breakfast. Because he was there, she would eat more.
Chen Shuyi has really lost a lot of weight.
At today's court meeting, Yang Su petitioned Yang Guang to go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to visit the princess.
Yang Guang is right.
As the grandfather of Princess Yang Su, he could have visited Prince Qin's mansion at any time, but he was afraid of the emperor's taboo, so he spoke out at the court meeting.
In many dynasties in history, if a woman in the family was of high rank and entered the royal family, it would be very difficult for her parents and brothers to meet her because of the distinction between superiority and inferiority.
However, there was no such rule in the Sui Dynasty. Yang Jian and his wife always valued family ethics.
Moreover, the marriage between the Guanlong Group has a strong political overtones, and they are deeply involved in each other.
When Yang Su wanted to see his granddaughter who was still in confinement, he had to follow many rules. He had to bask in the sun, wipe his body with peach branches, and perform an exorcism ceremony with a Taoist priest before he could enter the room.
The first thing Yang Su said when he saw his great-grandson was: This child really looks like the King of Qin, he is almost carved from the same mold.
In fact, Yang Ming felt that the child was more like Yang Yinjiang, but as the old saying goes, never say that a child is like his mother.
Forever and ever, the child must be like his father.
No fool would say that a child looks like his mother, not even Yang Yinjiang herself.
Of course, this is when the child is just born, and it will be looser as the child grows older.
In ancient times, there was no paternity test, and the blood type could not be seen. The only way to determine whether a child was biological was by looking at the child's appearance.
Two double eyelids may lead to single eyelids, but two single eyelids will definitely not lead to double eyelids.
The reason why everyone doesn't need to collude in confession is that they all agree that the child looks like his father. In fact, he just wants to express one meaning: This is your biological child, so you can rest assured to raise it.
During this period, Yang Yinjiang expressed her worries to her grandfather Yang Su. She was worried about her father Yang Xuangan.
As the child's grandfather, Yang Xuangan was of course entitled to visit at any time, but after the child was born, he said something very inappropriate, which was clearly understood by Empress Xiao.
"This kid is really fat."
Because it was an unintentional remark, and Empress Xiao was immersed in the joy of the birth of her eldest grandson at the time, she did not take it seriously.
But Yang Yinjiang remembered it. She thought that her father was too ungrateful and would inevitably make the same mistakes in the future, so afterwards, she nagged Yang Xuangan in a rather unpleasant tone.
Now it's better, I'm so angry that I won't visit my grandson anymore.
After Yang Su heard this, he frowned and felt furious.
Yes, the child is your biological grandson. You can say whatever you want in private, but you cannot call him "boy" in front of the queen.
He is a prince, not a boy.
You are the third grade, and others are the second grade.
No matter how hard I teach my son, I can’t teach him...
Yang Su looked gloomy and remained silent. Seeing this, Yang Ming smiled and said:
"Yue Gong, don't think too much, Xuangan is just a quick talk, no one will care."
Yang Ming felt that it didn't matter anymore. What's wrong with his grandfather calling him a brat? It's okay to call him a brat.
Yang Su smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Let's not mention the stick. It's not convenient here. Please take a moment to speak, Your Highness."
Yang Yinjiang's dormitory was very large, with four rooms inside and outside. Yang Ming invited Yang Su to one of them, and then closed the door.
Yang Su lowered his voice and said: "Yang Yue saw me yesterday. His expression was quite abnormal, and his words were always evasive. I knew about him and knew that he must be hiding something from me."
"So last night, after my repeated questioning, he told me something big."
Kill Yang Yong? Yang Ming asked: "What's the big deal?"
Yang Su frowned and said: "Your Majesty's three brothers are currently in the capital, Yang Yong, Yang Xiu, and Yang Liang. Your Majesty does not intend to keep the deposed prince anymore, so he hinted to Yang Yue to solve this problem."
Yang Ming pretended to be shocked and said: "Father, do you want Yang Yue to get rid of the deposed prince?"
"Yes, the excuse is the late emperor's edict," Yang Su nodded: "If this matter goes wrong, there will be big problems, so Yang Yue refused to tell me at first because he was afraid that my brother, me, would be implicated in the future."
Yang Ming nodded, killing the previous prince was not a good job.
If Yang Yong could kill at will, Yang Guang would have killed him long ago.
It's too far away, how do you pass Yang Lihua's test? How do you explain it to the clan?
After all, Yang Yong has been the crown prince for twenty years, and the entire Guanzhong Group has relied on him for twenty years. And the second saint is the direct descendant. Without a good excuse, there is no way to kill him.
Don't expect to use the same tactics you used against Chen Shubao on Yang Yong, others won't believe you.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chen Shubao's death was a clear conscience among all the princes in the court, but they just would not speak out about it.
Yang Ming said: "In other words, Yang Yueyue took out the imperial edict of the late emperor and ordered Yang Yong to die? If you don't take it sooner, you won't take it later. Now it's untenable. What's more, if he does this, I'm afraid he will be hated by many people.
, the clan’s first one will not let him go.”
To put it bluntly, Yang Yue is taking the blame for Yang Guang.
As the saying goes, Yang Liang's crimes are not as bad as those of the clan. The whole family is alive and well because of Yang Liang's rebellion. Yang Yong has been imprisoned for two years and is no different from a prisoner. If he is killed, the clan will not accept it.
If Yang Yong could be sentenced to death, then of course they could too, so this precedent, in their opinion, cannot be set.
Yang Su sighed and said: "If he doesn't do something he can't do, someone else will do it. But if he doesn't do it now, I'm afraid the end will not be any better."
Yang Ming deeply agreed. If Yang Yue does this now, he will undoubtedly become the emperor's favorite in a short time, but what about in the future?
There are countless pairs of eyes staring at you. When you gain power, everyone will hold their breath for a while. When you lose power, thousands of people will beat you.
Yang Su was willing to tell him these heart-wrenching words, and Yang Ming was naturally honest with him:
"The general trend is such that it cannot be changed. We can only take one step at a time."
Yang Su nodded.
At this time, Yang Ming suddenly changed the subject and asked: "Has Yue Gong heard of Gao Lande?"
Yang Su was stunned for a moment, then said with a half-smile, "No."
"Really?" Yang Ming smiled playfully.
Yang Su nodded: "Really not."
Although he didn't admit it, Yang Ming knew that the other person's attitude was actually hinting to him: I know, but I won't tell you.
When a person like Yang Su wants to tell you, he will naturally tell you. If he doesn't want you to know, then you won't know even if you beat him to death.
After chatting for a few more words, Yang Ming personally sent Yang Su out of the house.
Afterwards, he went to the backyard to visit Dugu Feng'er.
I heard from servants that Feng'er's mental state has improved a lot since Alou came, and the duration of her illness has also been shortened and the frequency has also been reduced.
If you are in good spirits, your appetite will be good.
Dugu Feng'er now no longer looks as frail as when Yang Ming first met her.
But she still refused to tie up her hair, and no one could tell her that. She kept her hair loose from morning to night, and she still looked a little messy.
After seeing Yang Ming, Dugu Feng'er was extremely happy. She took Yang Ming's hand and ran to the lake.
Then, a man plunged into the lake.
On the shore, Dugu Bailou smiled bitterly and said, "This child's wild nature is back again. My sister's training for so many years seems to be in vain."
Yang Ming was also quite surprised: "Being from a wealthy family and being a girl, why did you develop such a temper?"
"The Dugu family values martial arts over literature. This girl is Dugu Jing's only daughter. She raises her like a son after urinating. Her temper has been developed long ago. Sister has worked hard for many years, but it is still difficult to change."
Yang Ming couldn't help laughing and said: "My grandmother refused to let her see me back then, was she afraid that I wouldn't look down on her temperament?"
Dugu Bailou laughed and nodded: "She doesn't look like a girl, and she loves to dance with swords. Which husband would like her?"
I like... Yang Ming smiled and said: "From now on, Feng'er will be entrusted to grandma."
"Don't count on me," Dugu Bailou shook his head and said, "I'm not a few years younger than my sister, and I will have to rely on you to take care of her in the future, but I will try my best to stay with her, hoping that her condition will get better one day."
In fact, in the Sui Dynasty, there were treatments for mental illnesses.
It's called Zhuyoushu.
The Imperial Medical Office under Taichang Temple has Zhu Youke, which mainly treats diseases with talismans.
You say it is superstitious, and it works quite well in many cases. But you say it is not superstitious, because it uses talisman spells.
However, when Dugu Feng'er was in the palace, she had already been cured by a witch who knew Zhu Youshu, but it had no effect.
After Yang Ming pondered for a moment, he said: "Father now knows that Feng'er is here with me, why not ask the witch Zhuyou to give it a try?"
Witch is not a derogatory term. In the Sui Dynasty, there was the official position of witch Zhu, which was subordinate to Taichang Temple under Gao Xuan. It was one of the official positions responsible for rituals. Ceremonies for worshiping the mountains and rivers of Sheji, exorcising evil spirits, praying for rain, and praying for good weather were all performed by the master of Zhu.
It is done by a magical witch.
From Dugu Bailou's point of view, just because it didn't work before, doesn't mean it won't work now. Feng'er is showing signs of improvement now.
