After the court meeting, Yang Ming first went to Yong'an Palace to pay his respects to his mother, but Queen Xiao didn't go anywhere today and has been waiting for him.
As soon as she said a few words, Empress Xiao, who had always been weak, burst into tears.
His mother-in-law was originally a sentimental person and very fragile, so Yang Ming hurriedly comforted her.
He knew the cause and effect. It was not Yang Yinjiang who told him, before Yang Yinjiang had time to tell him, but Empress Xiao told it in tears.
The second son gave a woman to his father.
You idiot, your mother is still alive, how dare you do this?
But Yang Ming realized at that time that this matter had nothing to do with Yang Yinjiang, because the woman who gave it to Yang Guang was the niece of Chen Shuda's wife, and Chen Shuda was forced into the palace by Chen Shuyi.
Chen Shuyi is so proud this time. Why did Yang Lihua give her such a big benefit because of her being kidnapped?
You have to take some time to go to Yang Lihua to express your feelings.
"My mother-in-law is not going to recognize this treacherous son. If I am still alive, he will dare to do this. If I die, he will dare to kill your two uncles," Queen Xiao cried while wiping her tears. Once she started crying, then
The tears kept coming.
Yang Ming has many uncles, but the two Empress Xiao mentioned are her biological uncles, the fifth uncle Xiao Jing, who is now a literary official who invites officials to the court. The informal official is also called Xujie, which means that the official rank is promoted according to seniority or merit.
, has no real power for the time being and is considered a candidate official.
In other words, where there are vacancies, priority should be given to senior officials, which is equivalent to selected candidates in the civil service.
The eighth uncle, the youngest uncle Xiao Yu, is currently more powerful and is the internal history minister.
These two have the same father and mother as Queen Xiao.
Yang Ming comforted his mother and said: "He doesn't have the guts. This time I offered a woman to my father, it must have been a moment of confusion. This time he offended my mother, he has gained a memory. Such things will definitely not happen again in the future."
Got it."
"You don't need to put in a good word for him. This traitor is too perverse. I will definitely not spare him this time," Empress Xiao cried.
Yang Ming kept coaxing and tried his best to excuse the second child.
He couldn't speak ill of Yang Xian in front of his mother-in-law. If he dared to do this, it would not be a pleasant thing.
The queen hates her, but she definitely doesn't want their brothers to turn against each other. This is the overall situation and the bottom line.
Partition walls have ears,
Yang Guang had long expected that Yang Ming would pay his respects to his mother as soon as possible after going to court, so he came from a side door early and hid on the side of the chamber behind Queen Xiao.
So he heard all the conversation between mother and son.
After eavesdropping for a while, he probably felt that there was nothing special about it, so he let him in through the main hall.
Yang Ming quickly stood up and saluted: "Father."
"kindness,"
Yang Guang nodded, went over and patted the queen on the shoulder, comforted him with his eyes, then turned to Yang Ming and said:
"Your eldest brother is not in good health and is currently undergoing treatment. You don't need to go to the East Palace."
The reason why he told the truth was because Yang Guang knew that he couldn't hide this matter. If Yang Ming didn't know, it wouldn't hurt to tell him now, because the third child was now under his nose and couldn't cause any trouble.
And he also wanted to test Yang Ming's reaction to see if he knew anything about it.
Yang Ming was stunned and frowned: "Isn't it that Yang You is sick and the eldest brother is taking care of him? Why is the eldest brother sick again?"
All the officials in the court now only know this statement. Before Yang Ming went to court, he heard Li Yuan mention it.
Yang Guang sat down slowly, stared at Yang Ming and said, "Actually, your eldest brother is ill, and you don't know about Sun Simiao's visit to Beijing?"
"I don't know," Yang Ming said with a solemn face and shook his head: "Since the eldest brother is ill, my son begs his father, the emperor and his mother to allow him to visit."
"There's nothing to visit. I'm not seriously ill, but I just don't have the strength." Yang Guang brushed his sleeves and said:
"Now you have returned to Beijing. When Luoyang is built, your mother and I will go to Luoyang. Do you think I should take you with me or your eldest brother?"
Such a special proposition, Yang Ming would never dare to ask his eldest brother to go to Luoyang, and he would stay in the capital.
Then he said: "If the father, the emperor, and the empress leave the capital, my eldest brother will never leave. My son is willing to accompany the father, the empress, and the empress to Luoyang."
Yang Guang smiled and said: "Why didn't you say that you and your eldest brother were staying in Beijing together? After all, you just came back from Luoyang, and your concubine is also pregnant, so it seems inconvenient to leave."
Queen Xiao, who was sitting aside, kept her head lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.
Yang Ming gritted his teeth, knelt down and said, "Although I don't know why, I can feel that my father is wary of me."
Yang Guang was stunned. He didn't expect Yang Ming to reply like this, and he was caught off guard.
"Asshole!"
Yang Guang suddenly became furious and stood up and said: "Since ancient times, only sons have bullied fathers. I have never seen fathers bully sons. What do you mean, I don't trust my son?"
Yang Ming knelt down and said: "I beg my father to remove my Youwu Guards and General Youtun Guards."
"What a traitor!" Yang Guangmao said angrily: "General Wei, do you do what you want and don't do if you don't want to? Okay... OK, I will grant your request."
Queen Xiao on the side was immediately shocked and quickly pulled Yang Guang:
"Ming'er just came back, what are you going to do? What did the child do wrong and you want to punish him?"
While talking, Queen Xiao cried again: "If you want to kill him, you might as well kill me too."
You woman know nothing! The good son you gave birth to is here to show off with me.
Yang Guang couldn't bear to push his wife away, pointed at Yang Ming on the ground and cursed: "Go, go, get out of here. You are not allowed to leave the capital in the future."
Yang Ming agreed, raised his head and said, "My son still hopes to visit his eldest brother."
"Come here, throw me out." Yang Guang was furious and ordered the servants on the left and right to fight Yang Ming out.
As soon as Yang Ming left, Yang Guang was happy. He quickly comforted the queen beside him and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, don't cry. It's natural for a father to teach his son a lesson. Don't interrupt when you teach him a lesson in the future."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Queen Xiao was stunned, she reacted instantly and couldn't help but give Yang Guang a small fist, and the sheep said angrily:
"Trying to play tricks on your own son will cause the boat to capsize in the future."
Yang Guang sat down with a smile and said, "I almost fell into trouble today. The third child is so smart. He knows what I want to do. He probably also guessed that the old brother is seriously ill. This is good. At least from today's perspective, the third child has not been able to do it before."
It’s uninformed.”
Empress Xiao sighed: "Ming'er has always respected Zhao'er the most and always obeyed his advice. Please don't mess around. I don't want my son to be like you brothers."
"I don't want this to be the case, that's why I want to beat Lao San," Yang Guang sat on the couch and said with a smile, "This guy is too smart and takes the initiative to delegate power and strive for the opportunity to stay in the capital. In this case, I can rest assured.
Already."
Empress Xiao also knew in her heart that her husband did this for the sake of his three sons.
The eldest son is the heir apparent, and the second and third sons cannot compete with each other. They cannot even have this thought. Otherwise, their parents can still protect them. If they wait until the eldest son takes power, there will inevitably be another fratricide.
Therefore, in Empress Xiao's opinion, as long as the second and third children can live safely, it is better than anything else.
"Since you have said it today and Ming'er has delegated power, can we allow them to meet as brothers?" Queen Xiao said.
Yang Guang shook his head: "No, until the eldest brother recovers, the third child can't even think about stepping into the East Palace. The Imperial Medical Office has said that in just two months, Zhao'er can properly join the court and participate in politics. Just wait."
Queen Xiao nodded.
...
After Yang Ming left the palace, he did not have any emotional fluctuations, but just sighed a little, the boss will die soon.
Yang Zhao, the eldest brother, was actually very qualified. Yang Ming even thought that if Yang Zhao died, Yang Guang would not be as messy as in history.
He is the third son of Yang Guang who should have died young. In the history of Yang Guang, the eldest son died early and the second son was a waste. This affected his governing ideas to some extent, so that it was directly ruined in the later period.
It's a pity that Yang Zhao is actually a very suitable prince. If he ascends the throne, he will also be a qualified emperor.
This is because of one person, who changed the entire course of history.
Yang Ming knew that his father was suspicious of him, so instead of being pretentious, it was better to speak frankly. After all, he hoped to stay in the capital, but there were conditions for staying in the capital. He could not have military power in his hands, because it would pose a threat to the prince.
Especially since he was also the general of both palaces, my father followed suit and agreed to his resignation.
Next, Yang Ming has a lot to do today. He has to visit three people, Yang Lihua, Yang Su, and Gao Jiong.
First, he asked Chen Kui to return home and tell the princess to prepare a generous gift, which he would send to Yang Lihua.
So he took advantage of this opportunity to go to Gao Jiong's house first.
Everyone is a central and powerful figure, and they all live on the Jiusan line, not far away.
The steward of Gao Mansion, after announcing his arrival, returned with an apologetic expression and said to Yang Ming:
"The master of the house is not feeling well and is not suitable to see guests. I hope Your Highness will be considerate."
After that, the other party winked at Yang Ming. Seeing this, Yang Ming came closer and heard the butler say in a very low voice:
"If Your Highness wants to meet, you can meet at the backyard of Xu Ji Pickles in Dongshi at 1:00 tomorrow night."
Yang Ming nodded: "Tell Duke Dugu that I will wait for him at the agreed place tomorrow evening."
Gao Jiong was dismissed from office this time and was 100% unable to get back to work. However, Yang Ming did not want to lose such a top strategist in the world, so he would still maintain a good relationship with Gao Jiong in the future.
Historically, Gao Jiong was killed together with He Ruobi in the third year of Daye, that is, next year.
These two were veterans of the previous dynasty and were not close to the emperor. Yang Guang would definitely not keep them, but when the time came, Yang Ming would definitely do his best to guarantee them.
If Yang Su had not died of illness, the outcome would have been similar to Gao Jiong's.
When they were serving Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo, Yang Guang had to flatter them.
Maybe he had some unpleasant experiences in front of these two people, such as trying to please them, so when Yang Guang saw these two people, he would think of the past and become unhappy.
Only when the two of them disappear can Yang Guang's lost self-esteem be restored to perfection.
This is a process of regaining self-esteem, so if Yang Ming wants to keep Gao Jiao, it will be difficult for him to reach the sky.
