During the spring outing, Yang Ming will assign several people to each family's camp. What these people have to do is to keep an eye on these big families and see which families their children will associate with during the spring outing.
This kind of surveillance is fair and aboveboard, and the person responsible for surveillance has a nice name: You Chunlang.
Bribing and currying favor with You Chunlang is almost the first thing every family should do, because these You Chunlang all come from the Qin Palace.
The person in charge of the Li family in Longxi was Li Yuan's cousin Li Xiaoji, who was also an idler. His father conspired with Yu Wenzhao to kill Yang Jian. Later, when the matter was leaked, he was executed by Yang Jian. As a result, he became a person that would never be imagined in his life.
The son of a criminal official.
The person in charge of the Li family in Zhao County is called King Li Bin. He served as the prince's benefactor for the late prince Yang Zhao. He is still in this position, but the prince is gone. Their branch is also Li Zixiong's branch.
The person in charge of the Li family in Liaodong is Li Changya, the Duke of Heyang, the husband of Yang Tingzhen, the princess of Xiangguo, the uncle of Yang Ming, and the clan uncle of Li Mi. During the reign of Emperor Kaihuang, he also served as the Minister of Internal Affairs. Now he is quite miserable.
Prefect, Fuhan County is right next to Jincheng County. It is a poor frontier area with a big county under its control. There is a serious mismatch between title and position.
Yang Tingzhen felt unhappy and felt that his second brother Yang Guang was not interesting enough, so he asked her husband to come back from the border and live in Daxing with a white-collar salary. Yang Guang turned a blind eye to this.
In the south, the person in charge of the Lu family in Wu County is Lu Dunxin, the regular servant of the provincial cavalry under the sect. His father, Lu Deming, is now an assistant teacher at the Imperial College and one of the eighteen bachelors of Prince Li Shimin's palace in history.
The old Chen family man is Chen Shuxing, Chen Shuyi's uncle. He was farming a few years ago. Now he has been recalled to Daxing. He does not have a position yet, but he has already entered the queue of candidate officials in the Ministry of Personnel.
Chen Shuxing must be here, because his sister, who is the same mother as him, can sleep in Yang Guang's bed. That's right, she is Mrs. Chen of Xuanhua, Yang Jian's former concubine.
But Chen Shuxing doesn't even know that his sister is still alive.
Historically, their brothers and sisters died very early, but in this life, they were all still alive. Yang Ming could basically guess that he should have changed some historical trends, so that some who deserved to die died and those who deserved did not die.
After traveling through time and becoming Yang Guang's son, there are really too many things he can change.
Many aristocratic families in the south do not have the opportunity to become officials, and even if they do, they are just petty officials. They have completely different styles from those in Guanzhong, one is extremely arrogant, and the other is groveling.
But the aristocratic families here in the south are very cultured at first glance, while in Guanzhong, they are very vulgar.
It took Yang Ming an entire afternoon just to meet these people. It was not until the evening that these people returned to the camp. Only Yang Xiu was left to have dinner with Yang Ming.
The past is like a blur. When Yang Ming participated in the spring outing for the first time, Yang Xiu's sons Yang Xiao and Yang Ming were also there. Now the two brothers and their five remaining brothers are imprisoned in the palace, with the deep-walled palace garden and
Isolated from the outside world, what kind of freedom?
"My sister said you were kind and righteous, and it turned out to be true when I saw you today. It's hard for you to recognize me as your fourth uncle," Yang Xiu said with a bitter smile.
Yang Ming took the initiative to pour wine for him and said: "I am only your uncle now. If it weren't for the fact that what you did back then is unjustifiable, this should not be the ending today. You also know that my father still misses the love of flesh and blood.
"
You are trying to trick me. I know better than you what a piece of shit your father is. Yang Xiu nodded and said:
"Without Your Majesty's mercy, I would not have survived."
"Uncle Fourth came out alone this time?" Yang Ming asked.
Yang Xiu shook his head and said: "I also brought my eldest son Yang Xiao with me. He has not been married yet. My sister had a hard time remembering me, so I persuaded Your Majesty to let Yang Xiao come out and find a marriage."
Yang Xiao was also unlucky. His father had an accident so early that he still has no wife.
In that spring outing that year, Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying, who were of the highest quality, were both won by Yang Ming. Yang Xiao was very angry and thought about waiting for someone who was well-matched, but in the end, after waiting, he became a bachelor.
Yang Ming nodded: "Auntie, do you have any other arrangements?"
"Yes," Yang Xiu said with a dark look on her face, "Sister hopes that I can find a match for Yang Xiao from a family in the south. I can tell that Sister is doing it for my own good. It seems that Your Majesty is still worried about me. No.
I would like Yang Xiao to find a good family."
You dare to curse your own father and mother with witchcraft. My father will not trust you unless his head is kicked by a donkey.
But having said that, finding one in the south is not a bad thing at the moment.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "It is also a good thing for Yang Xiao that the southern aristocratic family is far away from the court. If we are in harmony, we should keep a low profile. Maybe we will have another chance in the future."
"I understand what you said, Xiaoer will be entrusted to you from now on," after saying that, Yang Xiu knelt down in front of Yang Ming.
"Fourth uncle, no, my nephew can't bear it," Yang Ming quickly stopped him.
Are you really good at borrowing a donkey on a slope? Yang Ming immediately smiled.
Yang Xiu and his family will never be able to get up for a day when their father reigns. However, the next emperor may think out of the favor of the clan and be accommodating to Yang Xiu's sons, because at that time, their family has no interest in the throne.
threaten.
The premise is that Yang Xiu also has to die.
Now many people think that Yang Ming is the most promising to become the crown prince. Yang Xiu is also a smart man. He can guess a little bit from Yang Lihua's words, so he hopes that Yang Ming can leave a legacy for his sons after he takes the throne in the future.
A way to survive.
Yang Ming's murderous intention is not that serious. Besides, the old Yang family's heirs are withering away, so he really can't kill anymore. If he continues to kill, his family will be the only one left.
"Don't worry, fourth uncle. My nephew will do his best to help if he can," Yang Ming drew a big cake for Yang Xiu.
Of course, Yang Xiu would not believe it all, because he had known for a long time that the second son's third son was as sinister and deep as his own father, Yang Jian.
Yang Xiu knows best what kind of people her parents are. They trained them hand in hand. Even if they have never interacted with each other, they can guess what they are.
After sending Yang Xiu away, Yang Ming came out of the tent. The air in the suburbs was indeed fresh, but a bit cold.
He looked towards the surrounding mountains and fields in the darkness. It was not difficult to guess that a spring story should be taking place in the mountains and countryside.
The lights are spreading all around, and you can't see the edge. The night of spring outing is the most interesting.
Bored, Yang Ming took Pang Niu, Chen Kui, Su Lie, Du Ruhui and others, and left the camp with 500 cavalry.
After walking no more than five or six miles to the south, Yang Ming and the others suddenly saw a sneaky cavalry group. There were not many, only five or six people.
Naturally, these people also discovered Yang Ming, so they also stopped and looked towards Yang Ming.
There was no contact between the two parties, but the other party had no intention of leaving and seemed to be waiting for Yang Ming and the others to leave.
Yang Ming summoned Du Ruhui and asked him to go over and see who was on the other side.
After a while, Du Ruhui came over with the five or six horses.
"I don't know if it's His Highness the King of Qin, but he holds a humble position, Cui Churen. I hope His Highness will forgive me," the young man in the lead said.
Yang Ming sat on the horse, holding a whip in his hand and asked curiously: "Which Cui?"
"My father, Cui Hongsheng, has a humble position and is currently serving as the defense general of Mingdemen City," Cui Churen reported to his family.
So it's you? Yang Ming said blankly: "This place is far away from the center of the camp. What are you doing here?"
"I don't dare to lie to you. This time I went south into the mountains to find the location of Jingzhao Nunnery. I want to visit my sister. Please be patient," Cui Churen cried.
His sister was the former crown princess and Yang Zhao's first wife. After Yang Zhao divorced his wife, Cui was arranged to become a monk in Jingzhao'an.
Counting the days, it's probably been more than three years, maybe longer. As the name suggests, he has become a monk and has no connection with the family.
According to the regulations, no visits are allowed.
No wonder the other party was sneaky, because what Cui Churen did was against the law.
Yang Ming asked aside: "Is Jingzhao Temple nearby?"
Pang Niu nodded: "It's not far, but it's not in the direction they went."
"Lead the way, I'll go and have a look too," Yang Ming turned the horse's head and signaled Cui Churen and the others to follow. Cui Churen was very grateful and hurried back to mount the horse.
Jingzhao Nunnery is a very large nunnery. It does not rely on incense for living, but relies on funds from Honglu Temple, because many of the people living here are the daughters of the Northern Zhou emperor.
Yang Lihua's good friend, Master Huaguang Chen Yueyi, and Empress Tianzuo of Emperor Xuan of Zhou Dynasty, lived here.
Yang Jian's former concubine, Li Mier, Li Zixiong's daughter, is also here now. They are all acquaintances.
Halfway up the mountainside of Niu'er Mountain is the large-scale Jingzhao Nunnery. It has many courtyards and dozens of houses, occupying half of the mountain. After all, it is a place for nobles to settle down. The living conditions are pretty good, not to mention that Yang Lihua often comes here.
Visiting friends here.
It must be very presumptuous for a bunch of men to come to a nunnery.
So Yang Ming asked Du Ruhui to knock on the door first and report his intention.
After a while, several nuns came out,
"This is a pure place outside. We cannot invite King Qin in. Please forgive me."
Yang Ming nodded and said: "I know this. I'm causing trouble late at night. I'd like to trouble Master to invite Mrs. Cui out. We can just meet outside the nunnery."
The head of this nunnery is of high rank and has been ordered to watch over the women here and not allow them to see any men.
The women inside are all mature women who have tasted the relationship between men and women. Now they are almost like widows. They also have a very strong desire for that aspect. Once they meet a man, it will be terrible.
Cui Churen came alone and it was impossible to meet Cui, but Yang Ming was different. Yang Ming now also served as the Minister of Honglu Temple, whom he had almost forgotten.
What's more, he is still a prince, and a prince is outside the law.
The host nodded and said "wait a moment." After a while, he led Mr. Cui out, who was leading the practice.
"Sister," Cui Churen rushed over, hugging his sister and crying bitterly.
Ms. Cui is unusually calm. Perhaps the past few years of practice have really allowed her to see through the world of mortals.
After comforting her younger brother, Mrs. Cui looked towards Yang Ming:
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"It's easy, sister-in-law, please don't say that," Yang Ming said quickly.
Cui secretly said: "If Your Highness is willing, please ask someone to bring me a tablet of the prince. As a couple, I can recite merits for him in front of the Buddha."
