Yang Ming can now go home and wait for the news with peace of mind.
Originally, he thought of going to report to his father Yang Guang first, but he was not there and he went to who knows where.
As soon as I returned home, I heard that Yang Jian's future father-in-law, Wei Chong, had returned to Beijing and was taking up a post in the Ministry of Civil Affairs where he had gone yesterday.
After the wedding, Yang Xian would take his wife Wei Shi and return to the fiefdom of Yuzhang County.
So these days, Yang Jian has been taken by Concubine Xiao, and she has to follow her wherever she goes. It's normal for her to be reluctant to leave her son.
After the housekeeper Chu Ji knew that Yang Ming was back, he hurriedly came to find him:
"Sanlang, don't go out any more these days. The princess talks about you every day during meals. You must go to the princess to pay her respects tonight."
"Okay, I got it," Yang Ming agreed.
I have been busy enough these days, my butt hurts from riding in a carriage, and Yang Xian is about to leave Beijing, so I really shouldn't run around anymore.
So after he simply washed up, he went to find his mother and concubine to pay her respects.
Qu Tutong replied: "Princess, Zhao Yichen, the youngest son of Zhao Yu, has committed the crime of disrespect, and the last general has come to arrest him."
Concubine Xiao knew about the news of Zhao Xuan's death. Of course, it was not Yang Guang who told him, but someone from the Ministry of Rites.
"Then I don't know," Yang Chan stuck out her tongue.
Qu Tutong looked confused: "The prince has gone to the Second Saint to plead for mercy. King Changning is inside right now. He has taken Zhao Yichen to the backyard, saying that he wants to wait for news from His Highness the prince. The general will not be able to take it."
For example, if Li Yuan dies now, even if Yang Guang can't go there himself, the palace will have to send someone to go. Firstly, they are relatives, and secondly, Li Yuan is a future star who was specially cultivated by Yang Jian.
On the contrary, Yang Chan thought hard for a while, frowned and said: "My eldest brother heard from Yu Zan in the afternoon that Jizhou Governor Zhao Xuan passed away just two days after returning to Beijing. Then my eldest brother went out without saying anything. Maybe it was for
Is this the case?”
After dinner, Concubine Xiao took a few children and refused to let them go. She had to chat about some household chores, and also told Yang Xian to write letters to his family from time to time after returning to the fief. As she talked, Concubine Xiao started to cry again.
"What?" Concubine Xiao was shocked: "Prepare the car immediately."
After saying that, she glared at Yang Ming with a resentful look.
As soon as she got off the carriage, Concubine Xiao took the lead and rushed into the Zhao Mansion. The guards guarding the outside honestly made way for Yang Laoer and his family.
Of course Yang Ming would not refute, he just smiled and lowered his head to eat.
"Get out of the way! Who dares to stop me!"
"It is His Royal Highness the King of Henan," Qu Tu said.
Concubine Xiao was immediately furious: "Then what are you waiting for? Take it away immediately."
This is a matter of etiquette, and it is also the royal family's respect and recognition of officials above the fourth rank.
The matter ended like this. Concubine Xiao later returned to the front yard and took her eldest son home.
At this time, the palace steward Chu Ji hurried in from outside:
"Mother, something happened. Something happened. Zhao Xuan's residence was surrounded by the imperial army. I heard that Da Lang is in Zhao's residence right now."
"The Supreme Decree, don't enter the palace, just chop it up outside the imperial city."
There is no such treatment for people below the fourth rank. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, if you are born in a particularly good family.
The next step is easy. As long as they enter the backyard, Qu Tutong can just take people. When Yang Yan, the king of Changning, saw the tigress in front of him who dared to beat his own mother, he didn't even dare to let out a fart and watched helplessly.
Zhao Yichen was dragged away by the guards.
"Asshole! Lead the way!"
I saw a crowd of people kneeling down in the front yard of the mansion. They were all dressed in mourning clothes, crying and kneeling in front of Yang Zhao, as if begging for mercy.
Concubine Xiao originally thought that tonight with her three sons here, she could finally have a reunion dinner, but it turned out that Yang Ming came back and the eldest son, Yang Zhao, disappeared again.
On the way, Yang Zhao also explained the whole thing.
The chariot general Qu Tutong saw Princess Jin and came over to pay her respects.
It’s the mother who coaxes the children, but it’s the other way around for Concubine Xiao, the children have to coax the mother.
"How disrespectful?" Concubine Xiao glanced around the yard and said, "Is it disrespectful to my son?"
"I don't know, kid," Yang Jian replied without raising his head, and followed suit.
Regarding Yang Ming's question, Concubine Xiao patiently answered:
"It is said that Zhao Xuan returned to Beijing to report on his work. Your grandfather was concerned about his poor health and wanted to let him return to Daxing to rest. However, he could not endure the hard journey and passed away a few days after returning."
Yang Ming didn't think much about it, maybe the boss Yang Zhao went to the banquet as the prince of Jin Dynasty.
But Qu Tutong is also quite shady. What kind of look are you making? Can your words make your tongue flash?
He didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly followed Concubine Xiao out.
It turned out that there were a lot of people coming to express condolences in the Zhao Mansion today. Yang Zhao was squeezed in the crowd and was knocked down by Zhao Yichen, who also accidentally stepped on Yang Zhao.
Zhao Xuan died? Haven't you heard at all? Yang Ming raised his head and looked at Yang Chan curiously.
"Oh, so that's it,"
Yang Ming was also confused. What's going on? Why was Zhao Yuren's residence surrounded just after he died?
When Qu Tutong returned to Daxing Palace with a large group of people, he was stopped outside the palace gate.
Why did you learn from me? I was just doing business, and my eldest brother must have gone out to wander around.
Concubine Xiao was stunned: "What's going on?"
This is the feudal era. Whether it is useful to say sorry after bumping into someone depends on who you bump into.
Concubine Xiao also wondered: "What does Zhao Xuan's death have to do with your eldest brother? Zhao'er didn't know him?"
According to Yang Ming's guess, Zhao Yichen would have to break his leg this time, because Yang Jian would not allow anyone who stepped on the legs of the old Yang family to exist in this world.
Concubine Xiao cursed loudly, ordered Qu Tutong to lead the way, and rushed directly to the backyard.
Whether you are guilty of stepping on someone else's foot depends on who you stepped on.
Tian Demao, who was preparing for Qianniu in the East Palace, was also unlucky. Yang Ming did not follow Concubine Xiao to rush in this time, but went to find Yang Zhao. So of course he did not know Princess Jin who had been staying in Jiangdu all year round, so he directly blocked the backyard passage.
He let him pass and didn't see the wink Qu Tutong gave him.
In the Sui Dynasty, when an official of fourth rank or above passed away, people from the Ministry of Rites would notify the prince's palace, and someone from the prince's palace would send condolences.
Concubine Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, my son is fine."
"Alas" Concubine Xiao sighed quietly, looked at the two sons and one daughter in front of her, frowned and said: "Does any of you know where Zhao'er has gone? Why did he leave without saying hello? You are all following Ming'er's bad example.
"
Qu Tutong did not hesitate and directly dragged Zhao Yichen to a corner of the imperial city.
A slap in the face,
After Tian Demao received a slap in the face, he stepped out almost out of instinct. He was wearing a golden guard armor, and his status as a Qianniu guard was obvious. Anyone who dared to slap him would dare to kill him.
As soon as she entered the mansion, Concubine Xiao was stunned by the scene in front of her.
This matter was immediately reported to Yang Jian by a guy named Chen Xian from the Yushitai.
It seems that she is a sentimental person.
"It's wrong, it's wrong, I want to see the prince, I want to see the prince" Zhao Yichen cried like crazy, his voice was so shrill that it could be heard near the Suzaku Gate.
Yang Jian suddenly felt that he couldn't keep it in his face. Well, people named Zhao dared to step on people named Yang? Then he ordered Qu Tutong to take the person.
The crowd that originally came to express condolences were kicked out by the guards and hid in the streets to watch the excitement.
Yang Ming looked at his mother and concubine strangely: "Zhao Xuan is fine, what are you doing back in Beijing?"
One hand raised the knife and dropped it, and the world became quiet.
If you want to kill someone, don't give him a chance to speak out. As long as you give him a chance to speak out, the person will generally not kill.
It's up to me whether he is unjust or not when he kills someone.
This was the style of doing things by Yang Jian, the supreme emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
