Yang Guang was one of the top three tyrants in history. In order to compete for the crown prince, he also attacked his brothers, but this does not completely mean that he did not value family ties.
Seeing that the eldest sister was angry and about to leave, Yang Guang hurriedly walked out from behind the dragon gum and said helplessly:
"Sister, I stopped because I spoke harshly just now."
Yang Lihua stopped and sighed: "You have been in Jiangnan for too long. You don't know what kind of achievements Dugu Gong has in the Sui Dynasty. I just want to tell you that you can kill anyone in the civil and military of the dynasty, but you can't touch it."
he."
After saying that, Yang Lihua turned around and said:
"Dugu is a role model for courtiers. Both Su Wei, Yang Su and Niu Hong have been secretly imitating him. Even when my father was there, the government and the countryside were peaceful and virtuous ministers emerged. It was all because they took Dugu as a lesson. If you kill Dugu,
, they will lose their role model, and it will make them feel that it was wrong to learn from Dugu before."
"Looking at our country since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, is there anyone more loyal than Gao Jiong?"
Yang Guang knew Gao Jiong's loyalty, but he felt that Gao Jiong was loyal to the Second Sage, not to him. This was actually his misunderstanding.
Because when Yang Jian was there, he could listen to the advice of the ministers, but he could not listen, so he felt that Gao Jiong's words were particularly harsh, and he thought that Gao Jiong looked down on him.
In fact, when Yang Guang was still the king of Jin, Gao Jun did look down on him, but after Yang Guang came to the throne, Gao Jun no longer had the idea of despising him, because everything Yang Guang did was actually very far-sighted.
, it’s just too urgent.
It didn't hurt that he was betraying his father Tian, and Yang Guang squandered the rich wealth that Yang Jian had accumulated without blinking an eye.
But Gao Jiong looked distressed because he knew how difficult it was to accumulate this family fortune.
"That's all, since Sister A said so, I will let him go, but someone has to warn him to shut up and stop talking about world affairs." Yang Guang took the initiative to give in and said, "As long as he takes care of things in the future,
Keep his mouth shut, and I will allow him to live a long life."
Yang Lihua sighed, nodded and said: "I will tell him, and please don't whip Yang Ming every time in the future. When my mother is here, she is reluctant to punish him even once."
"It was my mother-in-law who spoiled him rotten," Yang Guang suddenly became angry when he mentioned Yang Ming:
"My parents are responsible for his body and skin. It is only natural that I punish him. This kid has stiff wings. Now he dares to embarrass me in court. If he doesn't deal with it, will I be forced to abdicate in the future?"
Yang Lihua glared at her brother with strange eyes and said:
"The more he talks, the more outrageous he becomes. Okay, okay, he's beaten. It's too late for me to intercede. I'll go visit him and see how he's doing."
"Sister, please don't go," Yang Guang frowned and said, "I find that you dote on him too much. This is not good and can easily make him arrogant. I have been deliberately neglecting him recently, just to let him sober up and not think that the boss is not here.
This position is his, and what I give him is his."
"Okay, okay, I won't go," Yang Lihua shook her head helplessly. It was difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, and the emperor's household affairs were even more complicated and troublesome.
Yang Ming was punished this time and was seriously injured. Although the guards in charge of the punishment were merciful, the pain caused by the whip hitting the flesh cannot be understood by anyone who has not personally experienced it.
He was carried from the Imperial Medical Office to Yong'an Palace, where Empress Xiao was always watching over him.
The two guards responsible for the execution were kneeling at the entrance of Yong'an Palace. Neither of them could feel at ease unless they received a punishment today.
Fortunately, the queen was benevolent and knew it was not their fault, so she let them go.
The Prince of Qin's Mansion received a large gift from Yang Jian, including twenty cartloads of money, grain, and silk.
And it was delivered by Yang Jian himself.
"I'm so happy. I didn't expect Ayun to give Mingdi another son. Why don't my siblings send someone to the palace to announce the good news?" It was a coincidence that Yang Jian came this time, just in time for Pei Shuying to give birth.
After Yang Yinjiang learned that her husband had been punished, she was heartbroken, especially when Yang Xian added fuel to the fire and described it in an exaggerated way.
At the moment, she couldn't care less about greeting him, so she ordered her car to be prepared so that she could go to the palace to visit her husband in person, and by the way, bring the good news to the emperor and empress.
Yang Jian also hurried back to his hometown to prepare congratulatory gifts for his new nephew. He wanted to prepare two gifts, one to congratulate his father, the empress, and his wife on the birth of their grandson, and one to congratulate the third son on the birth of his son.
He is now determined to please Yang Ming, so he is very willing to give it up. Don't think that what Yang Ming withheld back then was all his belongings. As the saying goes, Yang Jian had several small vaults in the Jingzhao area to hide money.
The prince-in-law, Pei Xuanji, is now the general of Zuo Beishen Mansion, and is nominally under the control of Li Yuan, but an old cunning man like Li Yuan will definitely not care about others, and may even try to make friends with them.
After learning that his sister had given birth to a grandson, he immediately came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to visit with Princess Yang Chan.
He felt very happy because his sister had given birth to a son. With Yang Ming's current reputation, he was afraid that the child would be crowned king before the full moon came out.
It's a pity that he can't see Pei Shuying in person, because Pei Shuying is the king's concubine, the emperor's daughter-in-law, and a member of the royal family. Although Pei Xuanji is a consort and a biological brother, he is also a foreign man.
Outsiders are not allowed to visit the house.
Today, all the Yang family members are here at the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
"My daughter-in-law reports to her father that the concubine Pei has given birth to a son. Mother and son are safe." On the tray held in Yang Yinjiang's hand were the birth dates of the children.
Yang Guangma was so happy that he sent the birth chart to Zongzheng Temple and included it in the family tree.
"Tell Zongzhengji how to reward according to the regulations, just reward it like this."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty," Gao Ye happily went down to do his business.
Yang Guang was also in a good mood. He looked at Yang Yinjiang and said with a smile:
"I knew from the beginning that it must be the emperor's grandson, and that is Yang Jin."
Then, Yang Guang asked someone to fetch a thick book. This set of books recorded the division of administrative regions in the Sui Dynasty.
When Yang Yinjiang saw this, she was very happy because she was going to be crowned king.
I saw Yang Guang carefully browsing page by page. After a while, he nodded and said:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The canal will be opened this year. The canal starts from Xingyang. In this year of national prosperity, let Xingyang be his fiefdom."
"On behalf of Mrs. Pei, my daughter-in-law would like to thank my father," Yang Yinjiang bowed her head and saluted.
Yang Guang smiled and said: "The Queen doesn't know about this happy event yet. The third child has been punished and is now in Yong'an Palace. You can go."
"My daughter-in-law is resigning," Yang Yinjiang was elated.
In the Sui Dynasty, when the kings were granted kings, they looked at the place. The north was respected and the south was humble. The best place to be granted a title was in the north. In the north, Guanzhong was the highest, followed by Henan, Shanxi and Hebei, and Shandong was at the bottom.
Xingyang is a prefecture-level city in Zhengzhou in later generations. In current Yuzhou, Xingyang is also a good place after Luoyang. There is also a first-line family here, the Xingyang Zheng family.
The Zheng family takes the name of the country as its surname, which originates from the fiefdom of Ji You, the younger brother of King Xuan of Zhou during the Western Zhou Dynasty. The name of Zheng State and Zhengzhou also come from this.
This can be seen from the titles given to the three brothers of Yang Ming. The eldest son, Yang Zhao, was the eldest grandson and had the highest status. He was granted the title of King of Henan. Yang Jian was not favored. He was the King of Yuzhang in the South. Yang Ming was raised by Yang Jian and his wife since he was a child, so the distance was sealed.
The nearest King of Hedong in Guanzhong.
Therefore, Yang Yinjiang was very concerned about how Yang Guang was sealed and where he was sealed, which meant that Pei Shuying's son was valued.
In fact, when Yang Guang granted this title, he took Pei Ju's face into account to some extent. He paid special attention to Pei Ju. Pei Ju now represented the Sui Dynasty, and was a liaison between the countries in the Western Regions. He was Yang Guang's external spokesperson.
After Yang Yinjiang saw her husband's miserable condition, she just cried and wiped away her tears. She did not dare to complain.
The more she cried and cried, the more Empress Xiao became intolerant. She complained that Yang Guang was too harsh in order to relieve her daughter-in-law's grievances.
"Ming'er will stay with me these days and wait until the injury is healed before going back. Ayun needs someone to take care of him right now. Don't stay long," Queen Xiao said.
Empress Xiao was also happy about Pei Shuying giving birth, but it was different from Yang Guang's happiness.
This is the difference in concepts. In Yang Guang's view, Yang Mingchu's son will open up branches for the Yang family and will become a part of consolidating the imperial power in the future. However, in the eyes of Empress Xiao, he is a grandson, a relative of another generation.
, not as complicated as Yang Guang.
Yang Yinjiang really didn't want to leave, so she didn't say anything and responded with silence.
In her opinion, there are so many people in the palace who can take good care of Pei Shuying, and she does not need to worry about it. But her husband is injured, how can she not serve him as a wife?
Empress Xiao frowned and said: "There is a new member in the palace, but Ming'er is not here. As the princess, how can you not go back and take charge of the overall situation? During the introduction, all the guests are here, but the master is not there. What's the point?"
Yang Yinjiang nodded helplessly and loosened her grip on Yang Ming's hand.
After she left, Queen Xiao leaned over and smiled at Yang Ming: "She is a good wife, better than those two surnamed Wei."
Yang Ming was just about to speak, but the injury on his back was affected and he let out a wailing sound.
Yang Xuangan worked really hard this time. When he called the palace and found that his daughter was not there, he took his place and welcomed the guests at the palace. He took care of everything personally and took care of everything very thoughtfully.
When Yang Su was there and Yang Su was away, Yang Xuangan was completely the same person. In other words, they were Yang Xuangan who had someone to support him and Yang Xuangan who had no one to support him.
From now on, he has to be on his own. If he makes a mistake, there will be no one to wipe his ass.
And he also knew that Yang Ming had won him the title of Minister of Etiquette, so he was very grateful to his daughter. Even though her daughter scolded him all day long, she didn't mean anything in important matters.
Pei Shuying gave birth to a child, which logically had nothing to do with him, but Yang Xuangan believed that it was very necessary for him to have a good relationship with Pei Ju now.
"The master of the house is not here today, so I have overstepped my bounds. On behalf of the princess, I would like to propose a toast to you all," Yang Xuangan said with a blush on his face.
There were only seven or eight people in the room, but these people all had the surname Yang.
Yang Xiong joked: "I often hear that Xuangan is most afraid of the princess. Do you have any sore feet that the princess has caught in your hands?"
"No, no, I am the only legitimate daughter. She has been pampered and spoiled since she was a child," Yang Xuangan said.
"Hey" Yang Gongren stood up quickly and said with a smile: "Xuangan is saying that you spoiled the princess rotten?"
Yang Xuangan was stunned and said quickly: "I made a mistake, Gongren, please stop making fun of me."
Everyone laughed.
It is true that Yang Yinjiang is his daughter, but now that she is the emperor's daughter-in-law, there is a distinction between superiority and inferiority, so Yang Xuangan cannot be said to have "spoiled" the princess.
Of course, this was just a joke among everyone.
Whether ethics or dignity comes first depends on the mood of the emperor. The emperor is greater than all etiquette and laws.
Many of the criminal laws contained in "Kaihuang Lv Shu" are ambiguous and leave room for leeway. In other words, if the emperor wants to punish you with laws, he can choose one for you no matter what.
Using ambiguous laws to treat legitimate crimes was the shortcoming of the Sui Dynasty's laws.
