Near noon, Yang Ming entered the palace with three boys.
Because these three children are the sons of Yang Zhao, they are very favored by Yang Guang and his wife. Yang Guang is particularly concerned about the difference between his concubines, but he does not care about Yang Zhao, otherwise he would not give the two concubines the title of king.
.
You must know that at that time, when the king was crowned, there was still a lot of opposition in the court, but who was Yang Guang? He was the best at challenging N.
When Empress Xiao suddenly saw her three grandsons in Yong'an Palace, she was also dumbfounded. After looking at her son in surprise, she called her three grandsons forward to greet them.
Although she kept talking to her grandson, her attention never left Yang Ming.
What does the third child want to do?
What she was most worried about was that Yang Ming would harm the eldest's three sons, so she deliberately distanced herself for the sake of preservation.
After living in the palace for so many years, Empress Xiao has long seen through the family ties between flesh and blood. Under the temptation of absolute power, family ties are really nothing. She can clearly see how her husband treats his nephews.
"Why did you suddenly think of bringing Yu'er and the others into the palace today?" Empress Xiao looked at her most powerful son with a smile and carefully probed.
Yang Ming said with a smile: "The clan is withering away, and it is the time to hire people. Although the three nephews are young, they have already reached the age of cultivation. I think that we should find a good teacher from the Imperial Academy to teach You'er and the three of them. I will start early."
Things are clear and reasonable, which will make it easier to entrust important matters in the future.”
Empress Xiao pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "Zhaoer's house is under the guidance of famous teachers."
Yang Ming said with a smile: "The three children have always been concerned about grandma and their father. The son thought that it would be better for them to study in the palace. In this way, grandma can see them often to comfort their affection."
Queen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "I am very happy that you can think so. They are all your eldest brother's biological sons, and they should indeed be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future. After all, the only ones who are truly reliable are blood relatives."
When she said this, she didn't believe it herself, but she wanted Yang Ming to believe it.
Faced with his mother's direct gaze, Yang Ming said without hesitation: "Since Aniang agrees, let them stay in the palace, and they will be compatible with Yang Rui and his brothers."
Empress Xiao smiled and nodded: "Okay, I have approved your intention."
Next, Yang Ming left after having lunch at Yong'an Palace.
Yang Guang also came down from the court meeting. When he saw his three grandsons, he was slightly surprised. When Queen Xiao explained the reason, Yang Guang nodded.
After asking some questions about Yang You and their current situation, Yang Guang asked the people from the Imperial College to take away the three grandsons.
"If he is sincere, which is really rare, I'm afraid he has other plans," Yang Guang sighed.
He himself killed his brothers and nephews in order to consolidate his power, but he definitely didn't want Yang Ming to do the same, because once Yang Ming had this idea, he would kill all his descendants, and he couldn't prevent it.
Did he dare to kill Yang Yong only after Yang Jian and his wife were dead? If Yang Ming really wanted to deal with Yang You and others, he would wait until he and his wife, Queen Xiao, were dead before taking action. How to prevent this?
As the saying goes, the instigator has no descendants. What Yang Guang fears most is that his son will imitate him. I have given you the position of prince, so you can no longer attack your brothers, nephews.
"Ming'er must be sincere. When Zhao'er was alive, the relationship between their brothers was the deepest. Ming'er would not do this," Queen Xiao said.
Yang Guang muttered: "No one can predict this kind of thing. My Yang family is in decline and cannot withstand any turmoil. I need to do something to give the third child some warning."
"Why did you warn him? He didn't do anything wrong?" Queen Xiao asked confused.
Yang Guang smiled: "I have to let him know that I also cherish the clan. I should set an example for him and the whole world. In this way, if he really has this intention in the future, many people will stand up to dissuade him.
she."
Empress Xiao suddenly realized: "Such a warning is indeed necessary."
Yang Guang said with a smile: "In order to eliminate my son's thoughts, I really gave those idiots an advantage."
Since Yang Guang ascended the throne, he has been alienating the clan. The reason is very simple. The clan has always been a staunch supporter of the prince.
As soon as the Sui Dynasty was established, Yang Yong became the crown prince, so the clan was on Yang Yong's side and often caused obstacles for Yang Guang, even Yang Xiong was no exception.
So after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he was very unhappy with this group of people. They were demoted, demoted, and alienated. That is to say, the prestige of Yang Xiong and Yang Zhiji was too high for him to move.
Yang Jian has five brothers. He is the eldest. The second brother Yang Ting died early. His son Yang Zhi, King of Cai, succeeded him in the title. Now he is the crown prince and Taibao and also serves as the general of Zuowei. However, he no longer participates in court meetings, unless there are special circumstances.
Those who can enter the palace are actually not very old, about the same age as Yang Guang, and he also had the merit of rescuing Renshou Palace. Logically speaking, he should be high-spirited and participate in state affairs to guide the country.
But no, he decided that Yang Guang was a heartless and unrighteous person, and he didn't want to serve him anymore, for fear that he would accidentally anger others and end up miserable.
Yang Jian's third brother Yang Zan had a bright future during the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His daughter-in-law was Princess Shunyang, Yuwentai's daughter. She was a high-ranking official and was the absolute confidant of Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong.
When Yang Zan noticed that his elder brother Yang Jian had the idea of usurping the Zhou Dynasty, he thought that Yang Jian was doing something to exterminate the clan, so he plotted to assassinate Yang Jian.
In his opinion, Yang Jian had no chance of succeeding. Once he failed, his brothers, including their wives, concubines and children, would all be finished. Therefore, this was called extermination of relatives for the sake of justice.
In the end, Yang Jian succeeded. Not only did he not care about Lao San's assassination, but he also made Teng the king of Teng. However, Yang Zan and his daughter-in-law Yuwen still made small moves behind the scenes, playing witchcraft and cursing Yang Jian and his wife.
As a result, he died suddenly while playing with Yang Jian.
Many people suspected that it was Yang Jian who killed him. In fact, it was impossible. Yang Jian wanted to kill him. When Lao San assassinated him, he had already done it. Why wait until now? So Yang Ming always thought that it was probably a heart attack.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As soon as Yang Zan died, his eldest son Yang Lun succeeded King Teng. As a result, this man was too superstitious and hung out with sorcerers and alchemists all day long. He was accused
However, Yang Su saw that Yang Guang was dissatisfied with the clan, so he added insult to injury. In the end, he was deprived of his title and his brothers were exiled to Wuwei County.
Yang Jian's fourth brother, named Yang Song, died too young and had no heirs, so Yang Jian adopted Yang Jing, the eldest son of his third son, Yang Zan, as his heir and became the Taoist King. As a result, Yang Jing also died very young and left no heirs.
.
Yang Xiong and Yang Hong once suggested that Yang Guang adopt another person from the clan to establish an heir for Yang Song, but they were fooled by Yang Guang in a vague way. In other words, the fourth son, Yang Song, is now extinct.
As for the fifth child, that is the famous Wei Wang Yang Shuang. Among Yang Jian's four younger brothers, this is the prince who has the closest relationship with Yang Jian and is also the most capable of fighting. However, after Yang Shuang's death, his son Yang Ji
He was exiled together with Yang Lun.
Yang Ming was completely unaware at that time. This was a good deed done by his father when he visited Luoyang for the first time. When he found out, Yang Ji had already been exiled.
According to historical records, Yang Ji later encountered great chaos and his fate was unknown. The branch of Wei Wang Yang Shuang completely disappeared from history.
But now, things are about to change, because Yang Guang is worried that his son will commit fratricide, so even if he is reluctant, he plans to recall these people and re-appoint them.
He wanted to show it to his son, and also to let the officials of the Manchu Dynasty understand his attitude. I care about the children of the clan, and I will not treat them lightly. The same should be true for future successors.
In this way, if Yang Ming dares to attack one of his own people in the future, ministers will use what Yang Guang said to suppress Yang Ming.
As Yang Ming's son, he had to listen. Not listening would be unfilial.
At the court meeting the next day, Yang Guang announced this decision. Yang Xiong, who was originally sleepy, suddenly cheered up.
Good guy, the sun comes out from the west?
The rest of the ministers were also very confused. The emperor really thought of it all at once. He didn't have any warning about such a big event in advance, so he just issued the decree like this?
Yang Daoxuan, the son of King Cai Yang Zhiji, was appointed as the prefect of Yanmen. This position was originally held by Qiu He, the general of Zuoyuwei, but now he no longer has to hold it.
Five brothers, Yang Lun, Prince of Teng, Yang Tan, Duke of Jingling, Yang Meng, Duke of Jiyin, Yang Wen, Duke of Shanggu, and Yang Shen, Duke of Mingyang, restored their titles and were recalled to the capital for appointment.
Among them, Yang Lun's six-year-old concubine Yang Cheng was adopted as an heir to Yang Jing and became the Taoist King.
As for Yang Shuang's son Yang Ji, he was restored to the title of King of Wei and served as Minister of the Ministry of War.
Yang Xiao, the son of King Yang Xiu of Shu, was granted the title of King of Shu, and Yang Hao, the eldest son of Yang Liang, was granted the title of King of Han.
Yang Guang's own concubines Yang Qing, Yang He, Yang Lu, and Yang Shan were respectively canonized as King Wen, King Ying, King Rong, and King Wei.
Today's court meeting can be said to be a grand ceremony of confederation of clans. Everyone is very surprised. It's not that the emperor did something wrong. It is certainly understandable for people to conflate their own people, but it is certainly not unreasonable. What happened? What made the emperor so decisive?
to re-empower the clan.
Yang Xiong was more pleasantly surprised than unexpected. He was in the court, and of course he understood how passive he was without his own people. Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, died, Yang Zhiji was semi-retired, and his son Yang Gongren went to Xinan Xingtai again. He is now a human in the court.
Shan Ligu is no longer the opponent of Su Wei, Niu Hong, Pei Ju and others, but if the clan appears, what should these people have to fear?
You can't count on Yang Hao, that guy only knows money.
Yang Guang looked at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces and said with a smile: "The family and the country have risen and fallen, and share the same stakes. I can't bear it, so I will use it again now. I hope that he will be kind and respectful and live up to my expectations."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Yang Xiong stood respectfully with his hands clasped, his expression excited.
Although other people did not know the reason, they could only stand up and agree. However, many people already understood in their hearts that the power in their hands would be greatly challenged with the rise of the clan members.
Yang Guang himself was very happy. I did this all to protect my son. These people canonized today will become the backbone in preventing the third son from attacking his own flesh and blood in the future.
And these people pose no threat to Yang Guang at all, and will only be grateful.
Yang Guang knows his son better than his father, and he knows very well that the benevolence and righteousness of the third child are all fake. His parents, Yang Jian and Empress Dugu, cannot teach benevolent and righteous descendants.
