The prince, except for the principal concubine, side concubines, concubines, and concubines, all have no rank, that is, no status.
Among them, the concubines were dowry girls. Yang Yinjiang brought back four, while Pei Shuying and Li Xiuqing did not.
The condition given by Yang Guang was that a concubine, under the concubine, was a wife of the fifth rank. The original regulations did not have this position, but as long as Chen Shuyi agreed to conceal it, adding a prince and concubine was just a matter of Yang Guang's words.
Just like when Yun Zhaoxun was favored as Zhaoxun, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he directly erased the title of Zhaoxun.
From the Sui Dynasty to the Second Emperor, many legal provisions and rules and regulations still need to be further improved. As Yang Guang's successor, he will definitely have to make major changes in the system.
For example, in history, most people from the Chen family were county magistrates, but the county magistrates during the Yang Guang period were different from the county magistrates during the Yang Jian period.
Because Yang Guang would abolish the administrative division of the Sui Dynasty at the state level and change it to a straightforward two-level system of counties and counties, the county level was changed from the previous appointments by officials to direct appointments by the emperor, which was tantamount to further strengthening centralization of power.
After Mrs. Chen Xiurong returned to the palace, she told Yang Guang the truth and mentioned that Chen Shuyi did not wear mourning clothes.
The matter of the child was concealed. Yang Guang didn't think anyone would dare to disobey his will, but the third child must have known about the kidnapping, so in order to further appease Yang Guang, he specially gave Chen Shuyi her original name,
As Chen Heng, the eldest daughter of Chen Shubao, she observed mourning and was granted the title of concubine of the King of Qin.
Luoyang,
When Yang Ming received the news, he was unable to escape due to official duties, so he had to send letters to the prince Yang Zhao and the eldest princess Yang Lihua respectively, asking them to help request the person.
Then, he sent someone to stop Huangfu Chen who was about to leave Luoyang.
When the King of Qi Yang Zhen left, he left in batches. There were three groups of people. The first group was Yang Zhen who quickly returned to the capital with his trusted staff and staff. The second group was her female Juan, who had been with him in recent years.
Beauties kidnapped from all over the Yangtze River.
The third group is Huangfu Chen, who is responsible for escorting the property.
This time, Yang Jian completely moved back to Daxing from Jiangdu, so he had a lot of wealth, because this was all his property in Jiangnan, two hundred carriages, and more than a thousand guards. He was led by Huangfu Chen and was stopped at the west gate of Luoyang.
Got off.
In the Superintendent's Mansion, Huangfu Chen met Yang Ming.
"Why did Your Highness block my way?"
Yang Ming didn't even raise his head, and said calmly: "I got the news that you secretly moved the treasury of Prince Qi with the intention of embezzling it, so I stopped you on behalf of Prince Qi."
Huangfu Chen was stunned: "Your Highness, are you trying to impose a crime? Your humble duty is to escort King Qi's property to the capital, how can it be regarded as embezzlement?"
"I won't believe you if you talk in vain," Yang Ming ordered Du Ruhui beside him to prepare his pen and ink, and then someone brought a table and placed it in front of Huangfu Chen.
Yang Ming said: "I said, you write."
Huangfu Chen had an inexplicable look on his face. He raised his hand and held his pen, waiting for Yang Ming to continue.
"Huangfu Chen, the aide of the King of Qi, took away the King of Qi's property and tried to escape. He was captured at the west gate and sentenced to flee for three thousand miles."
Huangfu Chen's expression changed drastically, he threw away the pen in his hand and said angrily: "Why did the King of Qin frame me? Mr. Yue, do you want to say something for me?"
Yang Su on the side looked at his nose and heart, and said calmly: "It's your bad luck."
Yang Ming said directly to Du Ruhui: "He refuses to write. You write it. Afterwards, stamp it with my seal and exile him to Lingnan immediately."
Next, Huangfu Chen received several sap blows from behind, fell to the ground, and was dragged down by two guards.
After Du Ruhui finished writing, he handed it to Yang Ming to read and asked:
"Are you going to keep anyone?"
Yang Ming said calmly: "After leaving Luoyang, find a random place and beat him to death."
Now, all of Yang Zhen's property in Jiangnan has fallen into the hands of Yang Ming. Of course, it is difficult for him to keep it for himself, but it is not that easy for the second son to go back.
Yang Ming did not expect that the second child would dare to touch his woman, and Yang Jian also did not expect that the third child would dare to seize his property.
Yang Su was drinking tea on the side and said with a wry smile: "Isn't it inappropriate to fall out with King Qi so early?"
Yang Ming sneered: "He forced me."
Yang Su smiled and said: "I'm just a concubine. Be careful and miss big things because of small things. I was kidnapped many times and didn't say anything."
One is Li Deyan, the other is Li Jing, and the other is Li Baiyao. These are what Yang Ming knows, but there are many others he doesn't know.
"I'm not as generous as Yue Gong," Yang Ming said with a gloomy face.
.......
capital,
Yang Lihua, who returned home, came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to visit Chen Shuyi after learning the news.
In fact, as Chen Shuyi, she was not qualified to be visited, but Yang Lihua didn't love her and sympathized with Chen Shuyi's experience, so she didn't want the other party to stay and saluted her, and sat down beside her.
Princess Yang Yinjiang personally served tea.
Yang Lihua stopped after a brief taste and said calmly: "You are right to choose to be obedient. After all, you are a female student. Don't get involved in men's affairs. After this incident, the two brothers probably broke up. Your Majesty also knows it well.
, I still don’t know how the two of them will be settled next, so let’s wait and see what happens.”
Yang Yinjiang replied quietly from the side: "Don't worry, eldest princess, we won't leak it."
Yang Lihua nodded and looked at Chen Shuyi on the couch: "If you have any requests, please put them forward and I will do whatever I can for you. This is my additional compensation for you."
How could Chen Shuyi not seize the opportunity and hurriedly said: "I have an uncle named Chen Shuda. He is a capable and capable man. In the old Chen Dynasty, he was the official minister of the capital. He came to the capital in the twelfth year of the founding of the emperor and is now in the capital. Please give me some advice from the eldest princess.
.”
Yang Lihua didn't think that the other party would really dare to make a request, but she had already said her words and naturally couldn't take them back, so she could only nod and said:
"This is easy to say. I will say hello to the staff."
After that, Yang Lihua stood up and left, and Yang Yinjiang hurriedly saw her off.
.......
If Empress Xiao still fantasized about reforming her second eldest son, Yang Jian, then Yang Guang gave up completely.
Because he knew that the temperament of his second brother had long been set and could not be changed. Just like his third brother Yang Jun, he had loved money since he was a child. After becoming a prince, he still thought about how to make money every day.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If it is useless, it is useless. The boss is kind and elder. Yang Guang is already very pleased. As for the third boss Yang Ming, he will be of great use within ten years.
After that, power must be gradually reduced. Otherwise, if the third child becomes the boss, the boss will miss him, and the brothers will inevitably fight again.
Yang Guang actually didn't care much about the fight between the second and third children, but if they dared to fight the boss, Yang Guang would not spare them.
The staff of the King of Qi are also high-ranking. They will be killed when Yang Ming says. Over in Luoyang, officials from the Ministry of Punishment have already reported the matter to the capital.
After reading, Yang Guang walked out of the palace with his hands behind his back and walked casually in the corridor of the imperial city. Yu Wenbi, the Minister of Punishment, followed him all the way.
Things seemed to be getting worse and worse, but the third child suffered the loss, and Yang Guang felt that he had nothing to blame.
The two brothers were originally very good, but why did they end up in such trouble after meeting in Luoyang?
Yang Guangdan said: "Go down, don't worry about this matter anymore, call Yang Yue."
Not long after, Yang Yue, who came from Neishi Province, took a bowl of sweet jujube water from the waiter's hand, bowed and handed it to Yang Guang.
After Yang Guang took it with a smile, he frowned and said, "What did Yang Su say? I don't mind if you hide some things from me, but there are things you can't hide. Do you understand?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is aware that there is not a word of lies that I tell you here," Yang Yue said, taking the water bowl that Yang Guang drank with both hands, put it on the tray of the waiter beside him, and continued:
"The story of what happened is actually very confusing. My brother Yu Luoyang was also covered by clouds and fog, so I couldn't understand it. I only know that after King Qi arrived in Luoyang, he seemed to be deliberately delaying the renting of grain. King Qin was anxious to build Tokyo, and was afraid of missing something.
During the construction period, people were looking for people everywhere to collect food. It was because of the lack of food in Changping that the Cui family of Qinghe was invited to Luoyang by the King of Qin. She lowered her profile and talked good things to others, and she got the food. "
Yang Guang nodded and said: "I know this. The third child said it very clearly in the memorial. This child is still capable. He has never let me down in anything. But I feel strange. Is the second child delaying on purpose or is it him?
Don’t have this ability?”
Yang Yue thought for a while and said directly: "If things go wrong, I don't think the King of Qin will take action on King Qi's tribe as a warning. But as far as I know, Yuan Wendu and Li Bai of the Qin Prince's Palace have nothing to do with the matter of renting grain."
We have already gone down to negotiate with grain merchants from various places about the medicine. It stands to reason that the King of Qi has already saved a lot of effort, and it should not be so time-consuming that it even delays the construction of the palace."
Yang Su told Yang Yue everything about Yan's capture and subsequent rescue, including the fact that Yang Ming sent people to silence her, and Yang Yue naturally would not hide it from Yang Guang.
The two brothers understood best that only the emperor's absolute trust was the only law that could stand in the center.
Yang Guang said curiously: "That's strange. I heard from the prince that before the second brother came to Luoyang, the relationship with the third brother was still very good. The two brothers also often exchanged letters. How come they fell out so quickly once they arrived in Luoyang?
"
"I think that the matter of being crowned king has some influence. The King of Qin has a higher reputation than the King of Qi. As his elder brother, the King of Qi should not be convinced," Yang Yue said.
Yang Guang was stunned and couldn't help but laugh: "I ignored it and forgot that the second brother is narrow-minded. According to you, the second brother is restraining the third child. In fact, he hopes to delay the construction of Tokyo so that the third child can be punished?"
"Brother Yang Su, I have the same guess," Yang Yue nodded.
Yang Guang shook his head helplessly: "When it comes to national policy, he dares to think wrongly. The second child is getting more and more courageous. The third child is also extreme in doing things, killing people at every turn. I understand that he is impatient and has no choice, so
Don’t blame him, but you should also give Yang Su a heads up and ask him to give more advice to the third child.”
Yang Yue quickly agreed.
As for the other scandalous things Yang Jian did, including robbing Yang Xiong's granddaughter and flogging Du Yan, the emperor knew about it, but if His Majesty didn't mention it, he couldn't mention it again.
After all, when it comes to digging the canal, Yang Yue doesn't want to fight alone in the court with the ministers. With the help of the unruly King Qi, things will go much smoother.
This is why Your Majesty did not punish King Qi severely, because it would be of great use.
