Chapter 244 All nations come to court

Capital, East Palace.

Prince Yang Zhao's eldest son was born, and Yang Guang personally named him Yang You.

On this day, Yang Guang and his wife went to the East Palace together to visit their grandson, and the family enjoyed themselves happily.

Yang You's birth was much more noble than that of Yang Ming's son Yang Rui, so Yang Guang ordered that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty be rewarded, and the people in the capital were rewarded with meat, food and wine, and the whole city celebrated together.

Yang Guang held his infant grandson in his arms and walked around the house, teasing the child from time to time, while Empress Xiao chatted about some household matters with Crown Princess Wei Ying.

Wei Ying's father, Wei Shou, died in the 10th year of the founding of the Emperor and was the fourth son of Wei Xiaokuan.

Wei Shou had a total of three sons and two daughters. The eldest son Wei Baojiu died early, and the second son Wei Baoluan succeeded him as Duke Huaguo.

Wei Baoluan was originally the deputy commander of the East Palace Right Guards of Prince Yang Zhao, but now, through the help of his sister, he serves as General Youwuhou.

The third oldest, Wei Yijie, was just a casual official of Dr. Yinqing Guanglu, and now he was also named a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Of the two daughters, one became the crown prince and the other married Yang Su's younger brother, Wannian County Magistrate Yang Yue.

In general, Wei Shou's branch is slowly gaining momentum.

At this time, a eunuch from the East Palace came in with a letter in his hand.

"Your Highness, the reply from King Qin has arrived."

Yang Guang, who was originally pacing in the house, heard the sound, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he continued to tease the child calmly.

Yang Zhao, except for his own illness, had nothing to hide from his parents, so he said directly:

"Take it apart and read."

Empress Xiao and Crown Princess Wei Ying also stopped talking and looked at the eunuch.

"My brother will always obey my brother's request."

After reading it, the eunuch folded the letter again, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Yang Zhao with both hands.

At this moment, the corners of Yang Guang's mouth turned up slightly, and then he took the opportunity to turn around and wink at Queen Xiao.

Then Queen Xiao looked at Yang Zhao and said with a smile:

"What tasks have you assigned to Ming'er again?"

Yang Zhao handed the envelope in his hand to his mother and replied with a smile:

"Mingdi detained the second son's family property in Luoyang. The second son asked me for help and hoped that I would get it back for him, so my son sent a letter to Mingdi."

When the second child was mentioned, Queen Xiao's face also became displeased, and she frowned and said:

"Jie'er is getting more and more outrageous. You are the elder brother. You must teach him well in the future. Ming'er is still reasonable. After all, he suffered a loss in this matter. Now he still wants to listen to you and return the things.

When I go back, I realize how wronged Ming'er is."

"What else?" Yang Guang finally turned around, handed the child to the wet nurse beside him, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice:

"I'm happy for him to rob the third child, but not for the third child to deduct his money? How can this be true in the world? From my perspective, if I can't get my money back, the second child won't starve to death."

When Yang Zhao heard this, he quickly got up and smoothed things over: "My son also knew that the second brother was at fault first, so he made it very clear in his letter to Mingdi, asking him to keep some of it to make up for it. After all, most of the family's wealth was taken by the second brother.

It’s not appropriate either.”

Yang Guang snorted coldly: "Don't always suppress your brother. He will suffer any grievance. Look at what he said in his reply. The second brother can't say such a thing. There is a difference between elder and younger. I think

The second child never listens to your advice, what the hell."

Yang Zhao smiled and didn't say anything. Maybe it was because the second child grew up with him, so the second child didn't listen to him on many things, but the third child always obeyed him.

Yang Guang, on the other hand, was actually very satisfied with Yang Ming's reply. In his opinion, the second and third oldest children should not have any intention of competing with the boss. If they want to live peacefully for the rest of their lives, they must listen to the boss's words.

But now, the second child obviously doesn't understand this truth. The third child is the youngest, but he respects the eldest child the most.

Yang Guang sat down with an ugly face and said: "In the Renshou Palace, if the third child had been replaced by the second child, our family would not be where we are today. He is still not convinced and feels that I have wronged him by naming the third child King of Qin.

, tell him that if he does something wrong again in the future, King Qi, I will forgive him."

Yang Zhao knew that his father was speaking angrily, so he quickly agreed with a smile. At this time, the eunuch from outside came to report that it was Princess Yuwen of Qin who came to visit the emperor's grandson.

"Please!"

In order to show that he valued Yang Yinjiang, Yang Zhao personally greeted him at the door and then led him in.

Seeing Yang Guang and his wife, Yang Yinjiang hurriedly saluted:

"My daughter-in-law sends her regards to her father, the emperor and her mother."

Empress Xiao smiled and raised her hand: "Yin Jiang, get up quickly and come over to see the child."

Yang Guang stepped aside and stopped mentioning the topic of the second child. After a while, he casually asked:

"Has the third child written home recently?"

Yang Yinjiang hurriedly replied: "I have always told my father that the palace city in Luoyang is almost completed. His Highness said in the letter that this is all the result of Yuwen Shangshu. My grandfather Yang Su became ill from overwork and is recovering from illness.

.”

Yang Guang nodded: "When it comes to engineering construction, Yu Wenkai should be the leader, and Yang Su did not disappoint me."

Then, Yang Yinjiang suddenly smiled and said: "There is another happy thing that I want to tell my father, the Queen and the Queen. I know that the concubine Pei is pregnant."

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It is indeed a happy event. If the world knew about it, it would definitely be a great relief."

Empress Xiao quickly ordered the maids around her to select capable maids from the palace and go to Luoyang to serve her.

Ordinary concubines would not be valued so much, but Yang Ming, the concubine, has a very awesome father, so she is very valued.

Yang Guang was in high spirits, so he began to think about how to name the child.

Prince Yang Zhao was at the side, laying out paper and grinding it.

Yang Zhao's three sons, Yang Tan, Yang Tong and Yang You, are all alone.

Yang Ming's eldest son, Yang Rui, is beside Xie Yu.

So after Yang Guang wrote a lot of characters with slanted jade edges, he thought about it for a long time and picked out "Jin" and another "Jing".

Yang Guang wrote with a smile:

"If it's a son, let's call him Yang Jin. If it's a daughter, let's call her Yang Jing."

"Wonderful!" Yang Zhao quickly flattered him.

It is actually very rare for a girl to be given a prefix. In general, the name of a daughter in a family does not follow that of a boy, and the word "Jing" named Yang Guang should refer to Luoyang, Tokyo.

Then, Yang Guang had these two words carved on two pieces of mutton-fat jade and sent to Luoyang.

.......

The new year is approaching.

This year is the first year of the great cause, so whether it is Turks or barbarians from the Western Regions, many countries will send envoys to congratulate you.

The four words "Wan Guo Lai Chao" originated from the reign of Yang Guang.

But right now, there are not that many countries, only about a dozen at most, but in the middle of the great cause, Turks, Khitan, Japan, Linyi (Vietnam), Chenla (Cambodia) and other countries will come.

Historical records show that except for the Turkic Qimin Khan, the kings of other countries came in person, so that "the barbarians sighed and called China a god."

This is Wang Xiaoer who has entered the city to see the world.

Since ancient times, China has been concerned with saving face, so there are still more than ten days until the first lunar month, and Daxing City is already decorated with lanterns and festoons. Countless lamp wheels, lamp trees, lamp posts, etc. make Daxing City extremely prosperous with the fireworks.

Yang Guang ordered that the curfew be lifted, and Wu Hou took turns guarding it day and night, and could not help but walk at night.

Countless descendants of noble families from all over the world flocked to the capital like swarms, so that the streets were filled with people.

It's a pity that Yang Ming can't see all this. He still stays in Luoyang and works as his foreman.

Yang Jian tried his best and did not stop Wang's daughter on the way to Beijing. The reason was that Wang's daughter's motorcade came back with the motorcade of Liang Bi, the Minister of Punishment.

As for Liang Pi, he was not easy to mess with, because he dared to complain about anything and go against the emperor about anything, so it was not good for Yang Jian to do such things in front of others.

Liang Pi and Wang Lin of the Langya royal family were old friends, so he let the Wang family's daughter's motorcade follow him.

After entering Beijing, Wang's daughter went to Chen Shuda's residence to meet her aunt Wang Nujie.

Chen Shuda's small house would definitely not be able to accommodate anyone else, so he asked some connections to rent a courtyard in Jinyang Building to accommodate the Wang family's daughter.

Who can get into Jinyang Tower through whose connections? Of course it is Chen Shuyi, and Chen Shuda does not need to spend all the expenses. After all, Jinyang Tower belongs to Yang Ming.

The Wang family is a wealthy family. In terms of power, it is far inferior to the Guanzhong Group, but in terms of financial resources, the people in Guanzhong may not be stronger than others.

There are hundreds of people living in Jinyang Tower and Xiefeng Courtyard, including a dozen people named Wang, and the rest are servants.

Wang's daughter, named Wang Zhuoling, is sixteen years old this year. After simply packing up and bowing, she left Jinyang Tower with her brothers and sisters in the evening to enjoy the Lantern Festival in the city.

Wherever this woman goes, she attracts countless envious glances, just because of her natural beauty, tall figure, icy muscles and jade bones, which is rare to see in Guanzhong.

During this period, naturally many young men from Guanzhong took the initiative to flirt, one after another.

Those whose family backgrounds were not strong enough took the initiative to give in and let those with strong backgrounds take the lead. For a time, it seemed that the entire capital knew that there was a peerless beauty who was wandering at night in Dongshi.

Countless aristocratic families began to pour into Dongshi.

After receiving the news, Yang Yinjiang couldn't help but want to see the girl's true face in Lushan. She had appeared on the street before, but it was not such a sensation.

The lively long street is packed with people and there is no way to get through.

"Hello madam, His Highness the King of Qi invites me to his residence for a chat. I hope you will appreciate me," Zhang Xiaobao came forward laughing and said with a smile.

Now it's good, there is no one more stubborn than Yang Jian. The children of the aristocratic families retreated to the side angrily, with frustration written all over their faces.

Of course Wang Zhuoling had heard of King Qi’s reputation. Hearing this, he frowned and said:

"The daughter of the people is just visiting the capital with her family. She cannot bear the warm invitation of His Highness King Qi. Please reply to the King of Qi that the women of the people cannot go."

Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said: "That being the case, I won't force you to do anything. Madam, please."

After taking the initiative to get out of the way, Zhang Xiaobao returned to the palace to resume his duties.

He is different from Yang Xian's other lackeys. He is only responsible for exploring flowers and flowers, not catching them.

"If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty," Yang Jian said with a sneer after receiving the reply, and ordered everyone around.

Late that night, a group of one hundred royal guards came to Jinyang Tower and forcibly took Wang Zhuoling away.
