In Yong'an Palace, Empress Xiao still had not gotten over the pain of losing her son. She was in a daze. When she saw Yang Ming, she even called him "Zhao'er".
Seeing this, Yang Jian stepped forward to comfort his mother, while Yang Ming took the tray from the maid's hand and began to arrange the bowls.
It's already noon now.
Empress Xiao let out a long sigh, took the porridge from her son, took a few bites, and then put it down.
"If either of you dares to drink alcohol again, I will not recognize him as my son."
"Yes, yes, mother, don't worry. From today on, your son will stop drinking," Yang Jian said quickly.
This is bullshit. Yang Ming glared at him with contempt. Aren't you deceiving your mother? Can you quit drinking?
You are a person who really speaks out.
Yang Jian knew in his heart that he was alone at the moment, so pleasing his mother and stabilizing his third son were the top priorities. As for the three little ones in the East Palace, he actually didn't take them seriously.
If three little brats can't fight, then why are they fighting for the crown prince?
What he urgently needs now is an opportunity to go abroad. He cannot stay in the capital because it is very dangerous here. As long as he finds a way to get out and sit on one side, he can achieve great things.
"The canal is in Yu Wenkai's hands and has been delayed again and again. Seeing that it will never be completed in September, my father and mother's plan to go to Jiangdu this year is probably going to come to nothing," Yang Jian said.
Queen Xiao's eyebrows moved and she looked at her second son with strange eyes.
Yang Guang had told her before that the second and third elders must compete for reserves, and if they compete for reserves, they need to stay by their side. If one of them wants to leave, there is something wrong, and he may want to use the land to gain self-respect.
Yang Guang deliberately acted immodestly on the matter of establishing a prince, just to see which of the two would jump out first. After all, he had already planned to tour Luoyang, and both sons would pose a threat to him once they were on either side.
In Empress Xiao's heart, she naturally hopes that the position of crown prince will fall on the second or third son, not the son of the Crown Princess and the two concubines of the East Palace.
So she is also persuading her husband to establish a prince as soon as possible. To establish a prince as soon as possible is to choose one of her sons. The East Palace has no chance. If she has a son, she will not consider her grandson.
Whether it's her son or her grandson, almost every mother will choose her son.
"Do you want to go to Luoyang and continue to supervise the canal?" Queen Xiao asked.
Yang Jian nodded: "Only with my son here can we complete the work as soon as possible. The visit of the father, the emperor and the queen to the south of the Yangtze River can be put on the schedule early. Hasn't the mother and queen always missed their hometown in the south of the Yangtze River?"
Empress Xiao nodded and looked at Yang Ming, the third child: "Luoyang will be completed in September. Your father and I will go to Luoyang. Are you willing to go with us?"
"If my mother lets me go, I will go. If she doesn't let me go, I won't go," Yang Ming said.
One wants to hide, the other is obedient, Queen Xiao already has an answer in her heart.
Suddenly, she took Yang Ming's hand, held it tightly, and said softly:
"Now it's just you two, grandma. There can't be any quarrel between you brothers because of anything or anyone. You can't hurt your second brother at all. You promise me."
Yang Jian was shocked and stunned.
He already understood what his mother meant
Of course, Yang Ming also understood. After glancing at Yang Jian, he nodded and said: "My son will never break up with the second brother for anything, and will never hurt the second brother. A Niang is really worrying too much.
This kind of thing will never happen."
Empress Xiao nodded, looked at her second son who was stunned, and said softly:
"Go back and stop thinking about Li Jing. It will only be good for you to be closer to me."
Yang Xian was trembling all over. After gritting his teeth and being silent for a while, he said word by word: "My son understands."
"Son, please leave!" Yang Xian stood up and left.
After Yang Jian left, Queen Xiao continued to hold Lao San's hand and said:
"Aniang will fully support you, but your father seems to be undecided. Just know it in your heart and don't show it. Major matters should be planned slowly and not in a hurry."
Yang Ming nodded and said, "My son will obey his mother's arrangements in everything."
Empress Xiao said in a deep voice: "Your sister-in-law is already planning for his son. Yang Hong met with your father yesterday and hoped to make Yang You the crown prince. Your father asked me what I meant, and I told him that your own
I still have two sons."
Then, Queen Xiao said with a dark expression:
"Yu'er is my grandson, and I love him too, but it concerns Zuo, the Sui Dynasty. Childhood is the most likely to cause problems. When Tokyo is built, your father and I will go to Luoyang, and I will try our best to let him go.
You stay in the capital, and during this period, you have to build a good relationship with the clan members, especially Yang Xiong and Yang Hong. If you don’t have enough money, I will give it to you."
Yang Ming nodded: "On the issue of establishing the crown prince, my father cares more about their opinions?"
Empress Xiao nodded and said: "Establishing a crown prince is related to the clan's grand plans. With their support, the chance of victory will be greater."
In fact, even Empress Xiao didn't know what Yang Guang's plan was. Her two sons were both adults and had experience in governing. Isn't it difficult to choose one of the two?
Yang Guang's calculation was more complicated and more thorough than Empress Xiao's.
Because he had anticipated that their family might not be able to escape the situation of fratricide. Unless Yang Zhao died, this situation would not happen. But now, Yang Guang hoped to make arrangements as appropriate as possible to eliminate this catastrophe.
The second child, the third child, and the East Palace, no matter which one goes up, the remaining two families will probably not have an easy time. If it is serious, they will be at war with each other.
He is the emperor, and he cares more about the smooth transfer of imperial power than anyone else. Even though he is still young, there is no room for him not to make long-term plans for this kind of thing.
So now, no matter Yang Ming, Yang Jian, or the three in the East Palace, there is no chance to meet Yang Guang alone, and he is suddenly alienated from them all.
After Yang Ming left Yong'an Palace, he met Yang Jian who had not left yet at the Zhuque Gate in the imperial city.
The latter invited him to ride in a car together, but Yang Ming refused. At times like this, safety comes first.
Yang Xian had no choice but to get off the carriage and walk side by side with Yang Ming. On the left and right sides were the Qin Prince's Mansion and the Qi Prince's Mansion guards, clearly distinguishable from each other.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What the Queen Mother said makes it very clear, second brother, I have no chance," Yang Jian smiled: "Forget it, it's better than taking advantage of the three boys from the East Palace."
Forms were inferior to people, so Yang Jian had to bow his head. This was also the advice given to him by his subordinates after leaving the imperial city.
As long as he can maintain his strength and there will be many opportunities in the future, he is afraid that Yang Ming will attack him in advance, so from now on, he will be a younger brother in front of Yang Ming.
Yang Ming said calmly: "Second brother, don't you want to apologize to me? When will you prepare that sincerity?"
"Tomorrow, I'll deliver it to your house tomorrow." At this time, Yang Jian would not be reluctant to part with it. As long as he could eliminate the third child's wariness towards him, it didn't matter how much money he spent.
Yang Ming smiled: "I'll wait."
There seemed to be nothing left to say between the two brothers, but Yang Jian still humbly found a topic. Anyway, they were on their way home and had plenty of time. He wanted to make Yang Ming believe that he did not intend to argue with Yang Ming.
Only a devil would believe him.
In Prince Qin's Mansion, Yu Wenhuaji stood outside the door, pacing back and forth, waiting for news inside.
After a while, Chen Shuyi came out,
Yu Wenhuaji was immediately overjoyed. He jumped up the steps and said with a smile, "Sister, too. Are you unwilling to go home for so long? My brothers and sisters are all thinking about you."
Chen Shuyi said indifferently: "I have no power and power, why do you care about me?"
"What are you talking about?" Yu Wenhuaji said with a smile: "You joined our family when you were eight years old. For so many years, my brother has always regarded you as his own sister. Although he is strict, I am also doing it for your own good.
"
Chen Shuyi laughed and said: "Then, what are you doing to come to me today?"
"Of course I invite you to go home for a reunion. Grandpa and the others are waiting for you. If you don't go, brother, I won't leave," Yu Wenhuaji said with a smile.
Chen Shuyi looked at the sky and sighed: "Please tell Mr. Xu that I only have one grandpa, his name is Chen Shubao."
After saying that, Chen Shuyi turned around and entered the palace.
Yu Wenhuaji raised his hand and wiped his mouth, then twisted the corner of his mouth, looking shameless.
At this moment, he saw the Qin Prince's motorcade entering the alley, so he got on his horse and left from the other end of the alley.
At Duke Xu's Mansion, Yu Wenshu nodded after listening to the eldest son's report:
"As expected, it seems that it is difficult to bridge the gap between us and King Qin."
Yu Wenhuaji sat down aside and said, "I told my father a long time ago that that bitch is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. King Qin doesn't want to see us, so we don't need to look at his face."
Yu Wenshu sighed and frowned: "It seems that we can only take King Qi's boat. It's a pity that this boat is really rotten and broken."
"It doesn't matter, let dad steer the boat, and the boat will be a dragon boat," Yu Wenhua said.
After the death of the prince, the throne was vacant. If he was the emperor's absolute confidant, he would not have to take sides early, but Yu Wenshu was different. Even though he and Yang Ming had no apparent conflict, the Qin Prince's concubine had a conflict with him.
If it is a concubine who is not favored, it is easy to say anything, but if Chen Shuyi is favored, it will be troublesome.
He asked his eldest son to invite Chen Shuyi today because he wanted to test whether there was any possibility of repairing the relationship between them. If not, he would make an early choice.
If you come to protect your son, you won't have to worry about this, because he keeps a certain distance from Qin and Qi, and it doesn't matter who comes to him.
Taking sides involves interests. If you are not harmed, there is no need to rush to take sides.
"Then according to father's wishes, the little sister will get an advantage over the boy?" Yu Wenhuaji asked.
Yu Wenshu said in a deep voice: "We must get married, but the King of Qi has to come to us to beg us. We can't get on the pole and send him there."
"Of course, this kid is losing power right now. It's him who wants something from us, but we don't want something from him," Yu Wenhuaji said.
Yu Wenshu glared at his son and said angrily:
"Stop your ridiculous appearance and be respectful in front of Yang Jian from now on. Don't let others take it to heart and deal with you in the future."
Yu Wenhuaji smiled coquettishly: "My son naturally understands this truth, so my father can rest assured."
