After Yang Ming left from Prince Guan's Mansion, Yang Xiong immediately sent people to Shengdaofang where Yan Xiaotang was located. It wasn't until he saw Yang Ming's motorcade entering the inner square that the man hurried back to Prince Guan's Mansion to resume his life.
Yang Xiong definitely didn't dare to send people to follow Yang Ming, so he could only stay one step ahead to see if Yang Ming would go tonight.
After getting the affirmative answer, Yang Xiong was very happy. He felt that dealing with Yang Ming was so worry-free. He only needed to wake up a little and the latter would know what he was talking about.
It seems that a granddaughter's status as a concubine is low, but what if Yang Ming can successfully become the prince? That would be completely different.
When the time comes, for my own sake, my granddaughter's position will not be very low.
To treat Yang Ming's back injury, she would definitely need medicinal materials, but Yan Xiaotang didn't have them here, so she wrote a prescription and asked the prince's Buqu to come over and get the medicine.
Zhu Sanli, who was in charge of picking up the medicine, specifically asked what the medicine on the medicine shop's cabinet was used for.
The owner of the medicine cabinet told him that it was used for trauma, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so Zhu Sanli felt relieved.
Boiling medicine is very time-consuming. For Yang Ming's back injury, she has always used boiled medicine for external application. However, Yan Xiaotang's method is different. She mashes all the medicinal materials into fine pieces.
Lake-shaped, and then apply directly externally.
In the room, after getting Yang Ming's consent, Yan Xiaotang slowly took off his shirt. Looking at the scars on Yang Ming's back, Yan Xiaotang was shocked.
"Your Highness, you must chew it with your mouth before applying the medicine. If Your Highness doesn't mind, I won't use it," Yan Xiaotang said from behind.
Yang Ming was stunned: "Why do you still chew it?"
"Because it's not crushed enough, you have to chew it more with your mouth to get out all the concoction inside," Yan Xiaotang said.
Yang Ming smiled: "Okay, just do it your own way."
"It shouldn't be considered a traditional method, right? This is what I learned from a famous doctor in Youzhou," Yan Xiaotang said with a smile: "Your Highness, please come to the bed."
Yang Ming nodded, lay down on the bed, and then saw the other party grab a ball of crushed medicine and put it into his mouth. In an instant, Yan Xiaotang's entire face was deformed by the smell of the medicine.
It was obvious that she was trying hard to persevere, and Yang Ming felt miserable just looking at her.
After a while, Yan Xiaotang spit out the medicine foam into the palm of his hand, then came to the bedside and gently applied it on Yang Ming's back.
Very cool and comfortable.
"His Highness's injury will require at least half a month of medication for it to scab completely. Once the scabs form, there will be no need for any more medication," Yan Xiaotang said softly.
Yang Ming hummed.
Yan Xiaotang continued: "When Your Highness takes a nap tonight, and if you wake up tomorrow and feel that the medicine is working well, can you allow the daughter-in-law to continue to serve His Highness in the next half month?"
"Let's see," Yang Ming said casually, and a look of disappointment clearly flashed across Yan Xiaotang's face.
Next, following the steps just now, Yan Xiaotang applied medicine to every injury on Yang Ming's back.
"Wait for half an hour, and the girl will clean up the medicine foam for Your Highness," Yan Xiaotang said.
Yang Ming still hummed, he was a little sleepy, especially this posture made him feel sleepy.
Yan Xiaotang was watching from the side.
When Yang Ming woke up, the medicine foam on his back had been cleaned off, and in the misty lake, he asked:
"What time is it?"
"Back to Your Highness, the watch has just been announced outside. It's midnight." Yan Xiaotang didn't feel sleepy at all, and he was still very energetic.
Yang Ming stood up, stretched and started to put on clothes. Seeing this, Yan Xiaotang said curiously:
"Your Highness is leaving?"
"Otherwise?" Yang Ming said.
Yan Xiaotang lowered his head and said, "Actually, Your Highness doesn't need to leave. It's snowing outside."
After Yang Ming got dressed, he said, "I'm not used to living outside."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked out.
Chen Kui and Su Lie, who were guarding outside, had turned white on their heads and were shivering from the cold.
Today, the Wuhou guards knew about Yang Ming's visit to Shengdaofang. At this time, the guards on duty would have long gone to hide to keep warm.
But today is different. If King Qin doesn't come out, they don't dare to be lazy.
So as soon as Yang Ming's motorcade moved, the news had already spread. The Wuhou guards who were originally squatting on the ground or hiding in sheltered corners rushed into the main street and pretended to patrol.
Wherever Yang Ming's motorcade passed, there were guards standing solemnly on both sides of the street, everyone holding torches high to light the way forward for the motorcade.
Without the emperor, Yang Ming was the largest mountain in the capital.
General Liang Shidu was on duty tonight. He guessed that the King of Qin was going back to his hometown, so he quickly mobilized his manpower to clear the snow on the road that Yang Ming must pass on his way home.
Shengdaofang is located in the south of the city, next to Yanxing Gate, the east gate of Daxing. The security of this place is not good, because it is close to the city gate, there are many people, there are many thieves and thieves.
Master Liang used to make a fortune from this, but now, he has to improve the public security. He didn't make any money, so he was kicked off by the King of Qin.
Because he knew who lived in that house.
This woman is probably going to be in a position of power, and the security of Shengdaofang cannot cause any problems in the future.
So after watching Yang Ming's motorcade leave, he urgently gathered his confidants and began to make arrangements to launch a large-scale sweep in Shengdaofang tomorrow.
All those whose household registration is unknown, those who are stealing from others, and those who have criminal records will be driven away.
The next morning, after the meaningless court meeting, Yang Ming and Guan Wang Yang Xiong went to the Hejian Palace together.
Yang Hong relied entirely on his cousin Yang Jian to reach such a prominent position today.
His grandfather Yang Aijing was the biological brother of Yang Jian's grandfather Yang Zhen. When he was a child, he lived in Yecheng, the old capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Because at that time, Yang Jian and his father Yang Zhong were already famous in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Yang Hong happened to be in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
He was afraid of being implicated, so he changed his surname to that of his grandfather, Guo.
Later, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Qi Dynasty, he entered Guanzhong and took refuge with his cousin Yang Jian. Yang Jian took him as his confidant and he prospered.
In the Yang family clan, during the Kaihuang period, King Wei Yang Shuang had the highest status. After all, he was Yang Jian's younger brother. However, the most prestigious one was Yang Xiong. Because of his outstanding abilities, the next one was Yang Hong.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although Yang Hong is a two-character king, he is not as high as Cai Wang Yang Zhiji, but Yang Zhiji is the title of Xi, and his father Yang Zheng is the first King of Cai, Yang Jian's
My second brother.
In the palace, Yang Ming saw Yang Hong who was sick. He looked at Yang Hong's appearance. If he could get through it, he would get over it. If he couldn't get through it, he would probably die soon.
This is really a new life. Old people die. How many important people have died this year?
"Uncle, lie down quickly, there is no need to get up," Yang Ming hurriedly stepped forward and supported Yang Hong who was about to get up.
Yang Hong gasped and said: "My body is weak. I don't know if I can survive this winter."
"Don't belittle yourself, you're not very old," Yang Xiong sat down with a heavy face and said, "King Qin heard that you were sick, so he dragged me here in a hurry. How could he have thought that you were so ill?
"
"Who knows, it's just an illness. There were no signs before, but now it's getting worse day by day," Yang Hong said.
He had already guessed what Yang Ming was doing.
But he also knew that he was no longer useful. Even if he survived this winter, his illness would not be enough to support his continued participation in government affairs, so he would be a useless person to Yang Ming.
I'm just afraid that when the other party sees me like this, they won't say what they originally wanted to say.
Yang Xiong thought so too. He thought that Yang Ming would leave after a few polite words.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ming seemed to open up a chat box, and instead chatted with Yang Hong in full swing.
After a while, Yang Hong glanced at Yang Xiong, then looked at Yang Ming and said with a smile:
"People of our generation are all getting old. Your Highness, do you think there is anyone else in the clan who can hold a big position?"
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Any legitimate son of each house is welcome. Those who are talented will be placed in a place where they can be used, such as the Shiyi Temple in Shangshu Province or other places. Those who are not talented can go to the military mansion."
Yang Xiong and Yang Hong looked at each other and nodded secretly.
Because since Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he seems to have deliberately alienated the clan. Many important positions have no role in the clan. Take the Sixteenth Guards as an example. There is only one left guard general, King Cai Yang Zhiji.
The situation in Shangshu Province is even worse. There are thousands of people, but only one named Yang is Yang Gongren.
There are many reasons for this. First of all, it is because Yang Guang was not in the right position. He was afraid that someone from the clan would come forward and support Yang Xiu, the king of Shu who was still alive.
As for Han King Yang Liang, Yang Ming had already died when he was in Luoyang. He claimed that he died of illness. As for the truth, no one knows.
Furthermore, the blood relationship between Yang Guang, Yang Xiong, Yang Hong and others is too thin.
In the past, when Guozuo was founded, Yang Jian had to appoint the clan to consolidate the imperial power. However, in Yang Guang's generation, he felt that he alone could completely guarantee the stability of the throne.
Therefore, there are many princes and nobles in the clan, but most of them have no real power and are not as good as Empress Xiao's natal family.
This violated the interests of Yang Xiong and others, so they placed their hopes on the late prince Yang Zhao, but Yang Zhao also died.
This is really adding insult to injury.
So next, whoever can guarantee the interests of the clan will be supported by the clan.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Yang Guang intends to suppress the power of the clan, you really can't get around them when it comes to establishing a prince.
Yang Hong then tried again and again, and finally said slowly:
"Your Highness is considerate of the clan. It reminds me of Prince Yuande. When the prince was alive, he treated the clan very well. It's a pity."
After Yang Hong said this, Yang Xiong also sighed. Yang Zhao's death was undoubtedly a heavy blow to them.
Next, the three of them chatted for a while before Yang Ming stood up and left.
After Yang Ming and Yang Xiong left, it seemed that they went back to their respective homes. In fact, Yang Xiong returned to the Hejian Palace after going in a big circle.
Before, Yang Hong had secretly winked at him, and Yang Xiong understood.
Yang Xiong, who returned to the Hejian Palace again, saw the sick bed and asked:
"how?"
Yang Hong nodded: "Don't look at what he says, but look at what he does. This guy is deep and difficult to guess. Although King Qi is evil, he may not be unsophisticated. We will support whoever provides the most benefit."
"
Yang Xiong was stunned and said: "You actually dare to bet on Yang Jian, are you brave enough?"
"Only things, not people," Yang Hong said with a smile.
