Yang Guang naturally had to make careful arrangements when leaving Beijing this time, because he was not going to come back after a tour, he planned to stay in Luoyang permanently.
Are you tired of staying in the capital? No, in fact Yang Guang also has feelings for the capital, but not as deep as his feelings for Jiangdu.
He went to Luoyang to keep an eye on the canal project. As soon as the canal was opened, he would patrol the southern Jiangdu.
As the saying goes, if wealth does not return to its hometown, it is like walking in brocade at night.
He is the emperor now, so he is very eager to go to Jiangdu and show off in front of his old friends. This is a kind of vanity.
What's more, Ronghua's wife, Chen, is getting worse and worse. Yang Guang once promised her to take her to visit her hometown in the south of the Yangtze River.
Regardless of Yang Guang's promises to men, most of them are false, but his promises to women are taken very seriously. This is called machismo.
From the Guanzhong Military Mansion, 60,000 people will be transferred by Yang Guang to go with him to Luoyang, while the rest will all be under the control of King Qin Yang Ming, and will be nominally called the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Guard.
Most of the ministers who are above the third rank will follow Yang Guang, and the rest will still listen to Yang Ming.
In this way, two courts will be formed, one big and one small. The place where Yang Guang is is the big court, and the place where Yang Ming is is the small court. All kinds of departments are complete, and all government affairs will not be interrupted because of Yang Guangdong's inspection of Luoyang.
Delay.
Yang Guang was worried that the third son would attack the East Palace, so Crown Princess Wei Ying took her three sons to Luoyang.
Although two of them were concubines and were not born to Wei Ying, they still had to call Wei Ying mother concubine and their own biological mother aunt.
In the imperial city, carriages one after another filled with various classics and documents have begun to leave the capital. The officials' family documents have also packed their bags and left for Luoyang one step ahead.
On this day, Yang Guang called his two sons over and had dinner with them.
The scene was very ridiculous. Yang Ming was lying on the side, needing to be fed quickly by Queen Xiao's maid.
Seeing this situation, Yang Guang laughed from time to time, which made Empress Xiao roll her eyes. You were beaten, but you can still laugh?
Even though Yang Ming was injured on his back, he couldn't sit. Once he sat, his entire back muscles would tighten, causing severe pain from the injury.
Yang Guang smiled and said: "The whip Ming'er received was very cost-effective. I am very relieved that the prodigal son of Gao Jiao has turned around."
"Father, you need to be careful of Gao Jun's duplicity," Yang Jian interjected without knowing the current affairs. He had no choice but to say that he did not want to see Gao Jun become a party member of the King of Qin. This person was more terrifying than Yang Su.
Yang Guang glared at him and said, "You mean, I don't know how to look at people? Do I still need you to remind me?"
"No, no, no, my son didn't mean that. He just felt that what Gao Jiong did this time was not like Gao Jiong," Yang Jian said.
Empress Xiao smiled and said: "It's a matter of family and life, so he can't help but bow his head. I also know that Duke Dugu is indeed devoted to the court and has no selfish motives. As for whether he is devoted to your father, your father is more interested in you than you."
clear."
Yang Xian giggled and kept nodding. One on two, there was no chance of winning. This topic could not be discussed anymore.
At this time, Yang Guang suddenly said: "Some time ago, Yu Wenshu mentioned to me that he intends to give you his youngest daughter as the princess. What do you think?"
Yang Ming was stunned and looked straight at the second child.
Yang Jian smiled and nodded: "The concubine's position is vacant and the prince has no one to take care of him, so it is indeed time to marry a princess."
"How many daughters does Yu Wenshu have?" Yang Ming suddenly asked.
Yang Jian smiled and said: "You know the truth, third brother, but you only have two daughters. One is the eldest brother's concubine, and the other is unmarried."
"Oh" Yang Ming nodded and said nothing more.
But Yang Jian suddenly noticed that the expressions of his father and mother suddenly darkened. After a moment, he came to his senses and cursed Yang Ming in his heart for being such an insidious bastard.
Which pot should not be opened and lifted, right?
Yang Guang and his wife have not forgotten the scandal of his affair with his wife's sister.
Although the crown prince Yang Zhao passed away, because the crown prince had not yet been established, the crown prince Wei Ying and the concubine Yuwen Chamin still lived in the East Palace.
Once the reserve position is clear, these two people will have to leave, and Yang Guang will find another mansion for them. The two of them will have to keep their integrity for the rest of their lives.
As the saying goes, there are many disputes in front of a widow, and Yang Jian has a bad background, so it is difficult for Yang Guang not to think wildly.
For a moment, the four members of the family stopped talking. This meal was destined to taste like nothing.
When the two brothers left the palace, Yang Jian looked at Yang Ming on the chariot and wished he could go up and give him a knife, while Yang Ming smiled strangely at Yang Jian.
The third, sixth and ninth days are auspicious days and suitable for traveling.
On the ninth day of December, Yang Guang left Beijing.
Yang Ming couldn't see him off because of his poor image, so the only option was for Princess Yang Yinjiang to take the prince out of the city to see him off.
At this time, the capital became deserted in an instant. Yang Guang took away 100,000 people, and among the people, there were also many speculative businessmen who began to go to Luoyang to develop industries.
At present, Daxing has lost at least one-sixth of its population.
This year's Lantern Festival Lantern Festival will definitely not be held in Daxing, but in Luoyang, Tokyo, it will definitely be a grand event.
Yang Minghui was in Wanchun Hall, presiding over the court meeting. It was very desolate, there were not many people there.
All the six chief officials of Shangshu Province are gone. Eleven generals of the Sixteenth Guards are gone. The rest are some who have no say, including Yang Ming.
In fact, Yang Ming also knew in his heart that even though he was guarding the capital, it was best not to mess around in his small court meeting, not to make policies, not to do this and that in a big way, but to be low-key and reserved.
Otherwise, my father in Luoyang would think that he was in a hurry to go up.
Besides, there's nothing he can do. Do you think Dad won't guard against him?
Therefore, the small court meeting in Wanchun Hall is just a formality, and it is only responsible for completing the things arranged by Yang Guang.
Such a court meeting seemed unnecessary to Yang Ming, so he stopped wasting everyone's time and went back to each department early to perform their duties.
It wasn't until the end of the year that Yang Ming could finally walk freely. During this period, he went to see Gao Jiong and Yang Xiong.
Yang Xiong did not go to Luoyang because he was old and did not want to travel around, but his eldest son Yang Gongren went.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will fully support you," Yang Xiong said straight to the point.
Now that the emperor and queen are gone, he has no taboos about meeting Yang Ming.
Without speaking secretly in front of Mingren, Yang Ming said: "King Hejian seems to be in poor health recently. I want to visit him, but I'm afraid of being intrusive. I hope the king can help introduce him."
"For some small things, I'm willing to do my best," Yang Xiong said with a smile.
In fact, Yang Ming and Hejian King Yang Hong are more closely related by blood, because Yang Hong is the cousin of his grandfather Yang Jian.
But he has never had any friendship with them, so it was a bit presumptuous to go there suddenly. It would be best to have an intermediary.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Then let's make a date?"
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it," Yang Xiong said, his tone suddenly stopped, and he thought for a while and said, "Then let's do it tomorrow."
Nima, I thought today was the day you hit the sun, but you hit the tomorrow?
"Okay," Yang Ming smiled and nodded.
At this time, Yang Xiong suddenly laughed and said: "My granddaughter is still living in that small courtyard. I have persuaded you many times in private. Since you don't please the King of Qin, you should go home early. It's okay to live there alone."
It’s not safe, she just won’t listen.”
Is it really unsafe? Is there anyone in the capital who dares to touch your granddaughter? The one who dares to touch her has already followed her parents to Luoyang.
Of course Yang Ming knew what the other party meant, and said with a smile: "I will go see her when I have time."
Yang Xiong succeeded in his evil plan and laughed heartily.
Yang Ming also laughed.
Now that I need someone, I must agree to some conditions.
Before leaving, the queen mother also gave instructions to him to establish a good relationship with Yang Xiong and Yang Hong, and she would help him in Luoyang.
Yang Ming would not suspect that his mother-in-law was trying to trick him, because Queen Xiao was an honest person.
Isn't she just a woman? Even if she is brought home, there will be Yin Jiang to treat her, and there will be no trouble.
So that evening, Yang Ming went to the small courtyard.
Different from last time, this time, the small courtyard is not as desolate as last time. Every corner is arranged very neatly, and the smoke of fireworks is stronger.
Except for Su Lie and Chen Kui, all other guards were guarding outside the courtyard.
There are only two old servants, four maids, and Yan Xiaotang here.
The place is a little remote, but there is absolutely no problem with safety. Yang Xiong must have said hello to Wu Houwei, so no one dared to harass the owner of this small courtyard.
The moment she saw Yang Ming, Yan Xiaotang, who had just climbed up from the cellar, was stunned on the spot. She was completely dressed as a peasant woman and was holding a few green radishes in her arms.
Yang Ming said calmly: "Eat carrots at night?"
Yan Xiaotang nodded quickly: "Make gruel with corn and add some radish to digest food and reduce heat. It can drive away evil spirits and heat."
He was quite good at maintaining health. Yang Ming nodded and said, "Go ahead and eat it tonight."
"Okay, Your Highness, please feel free to do so," Yan Xiaotang saluted with a smile and went to the kitchen to set things up.
Yang Ming came to the backyard and found that there were many trees planted here, but except for the cluster of bamboos that were still green, the others were all withered and yellow.
It's winter, that's normal.
Yang Ming entered the house alone and found that the interior had indeed changed greatly. It could be seen from all the decorations that the owner was quite elegant and understood life.
It seems that she has indeed been living here.
Suddenly, Yang Ming suddenly became interested in a painting hanging on the wall. He picked up the oil lamp on the table and moved closer to it.
He actually doesn't know how to appreciate paintings, he just thinks the painters are very good.
Awesome! That’s the highest praise.
"Does Your Highness also like this painting?"
Yan Xiaotang suddenly came in, his steps were so light that Yang Ming didn't notice it at all and was startled.
"Where did this painting come from?" Yang Ming turned around and asked.
Yan Xiaotang said: "Originally, it was collected by my uncle. Zhan Ziyu's paintings were of the scenery during spring outing. My uncle didn't like it, but the daughter of the people loved it, so she took it into the bag."
Isn't it a picture of spring outing? Yang Ming nodded: "Good taste,"
Yan Xiaotang smiled, placed the food on the tray on the table, and then added a few lamps to make it easier to stand aside.
Yang Ming started to eat,
During this period, Yan Xiaotang noticed a few inadvertent movements of Yang Ming, so he whispered:
"Your Highness has a back injury, have you taken any medicine today?"
Yang Ming said calmly: "Not yet."
"Can you allow the daughter of the common people to give medicine to His Highness?" Yan Xiaotang asked.
Yang Ming was stunned and said: "Do you know medical skills?"
Yan Xiaotang smiled and said: "I don't dare to explain, but I still know how to use medicine for external injuries. My grandfather Yan Rong fought all year round and suffered many external injuries. When I was a child, I often gave medicine to my grandfather, and the medicine is still good."
