Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 173
The real instigator behind Yang Ming's return to Beijing this time is Yang Lihua.

Yang Lihua, who was originally the Queen Mother of the old Zhou Dynasty, has a natural sensitivity to the changes in the court situation and current situation. Although she doesn't want to think about it in her heart, she understands that her father's time is numbered.

At that time, when the crown prince Yang Guang succeeds to the throne, something will happen to the boss Yang Yong, but now, the only ones who really want to protect Yang Yong are her and Yang Ming, who has made an agreement with her.

So in Yang Lihua's view, Yang Ming must return to Beijing and plan with her.

At the secret meeting with Wei Wang Yang Shuang that night, Yang Lihua instructed the other party to find a way to get Yang Ming back. Yang Shuang and her are relatives who grew up together, so naturally they would not refuse, so she strongly recommended Yang Ming in front of Yang Jian. Ming.

After the matter in Jingzhou was settled, Yang Ming divided it into five batches and returned to Beijing one by one. After all, there was too much luggage. The property in the treasury alone filled nearly a hundred carriages.

His departure resulted in a vacancy for the governor of Jingzhou. The budgets of the states and counties for the coming year will be directly submitted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for approval until a new governor takes over.

It usually takes about one and a half months to travel from Jingzhou to Daxing, and Yang Yinjiang's body reacted just after half of the journey, vomiting profusely and losing her appetite.

Yang Ming knew that the other party was pregnant.

Alas. I am only 16 years old this year, and I am going to be a father.

Because Yang Yinjiang's reaction was too violent, she had no choice but to stop. The convoy paused and rested in Xi (xi) Yang County, and sent someone to report to the capital that Princess Hedong was pregnant.

Renshou Palace, after receiving the news, Yang Guang went straight to Renshou Palace happily,
"Congratulations to father, congratulations to father, Yinjiang is happy."

At this moment in the main hall, apart from Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Xuanhua, Yang Su and Liu Shu were also present.

Yang Su was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly saluted Yang Jian:
"Congratulations, Supreme, you are going to have a great-grandson."

In fact, Yang Jian already had great-grandchildren, and many of the bastards who abolished Prince Yong have heirs. Qin Wangjun's legitimate son, Yang Hao, also gave birth to a son last year.

But none of them can compare with Yang Ming, because Yang Ming is the prince's direct son, and his child is Yang Guang's direct grandson.

Of course Yang Jian was happy. At his age, there was nothing that would make him happier than the birth of an imperial heir.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, he asked, "Where did Ming'er and the others go?"

Yang Guang said with a smile: "Yinjiang is seriously ill. The children are currently staying in the official post of Xiyang County. They will not go on the road until they get better."

Liu Shu who was at the side naturally showed a very happy face, but he was already very upset in his heart.

Yang Ming's sudden transfer back to the capital gave him a premonition that something was wrong. This kid is notoriously difficult to deal with. He has a high reputation in the court, and all the big bosses have saved face.

When I come back this time, I will probably fight against myself, so I have to guard against it.

Yang Jian said: "Immediately send the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the servants to Xiyang. I want to ensure the absolute safety of the child and his mother and concubine. By the way, let Yang Xuangan also go, and I will serve you thoughtfully."

In the Sui Dynasty, it was very common for children to die young, because the medical and health care was not perfect. Fortunately, the royal family paid great attention to this, so the premature death rate was much lower than that of ordinary people.

Yang Guang was very happy in his heart, and Yang Ming and his wife were also upbeat, and they conceived their grandson so quickly.

Of course, it would be best if it was a boy, but it's a pity that I can't see it yet.

Folks have been spreading the local method of matching men and women. Whether you can guess it or not, in fact, luck is mostly involved. As for sour women and sharp women, they are all superstitious and inaccurate.

After Yang Guang left, Yang Su even praised Yang Ming and his wife in front of Yang Jian.

If Yang Yinjiang successfully gave birth to an heir, it would be a great achievement. In Yang Jian's mind, it is no different from the achievement of expanding the territory, especially as the prince's first grandson, the degree of favor can be imagined.

Yang Su felt completely relieved, her granddaughter was so awesome.

Renshou Palace dispatched [-] people from the palace successively to serve pregnant women in Xiyang County. Most of these people are very experienced senior palace ladies.

In the East Palace, after getting the news, Concubine Xiao took people out of Beijing to take care of her daughter-in-law.

In the fourth year of Renshou, in March,
After Yang Yinjiang's fetus was stabilized, she returned to Daxing with the team. Emperor Yang Jian gave him a big house in Chongrenfang, where the Jin Palace is located, as a token of appreciation.

He also ordered Yang Ming to take care of his wife at home without having to report on his duties early. Yang Xuan felt that his father was honored by his daughter, and he was granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom, the first-class lord.

The new house in Chongrenfang was named as Hedong Prince's Mansion.

During this period of time, many female family members including Concubine Xiao and Yang Chan have been living in the palace, taking care of Yang Yinjiang, and there is an endless stream of visitors.

Cui Shi, the concubine of the boss Yang Zhao, also rushed back from Luoyang to visit.

This was the first time Yang Ming saw his sister-in-law.

Cui Heng is very careful. As the eldest sister-in-law, she takes care of Yang Yinjiang herself. She takes care of her very thoughtfully and is very caring. She spends most of the day talking with Yang Yinjiang to relieve boredom.

This greatly increased Yang Ming's favor.

It's very strange, such a good sister-in-law, why is she not welcomed by her elder brother?His appearance is absolutely superior, and he is as gentle as water. What's the problem between the husband and wife?
Yang Ming felt it was a pity, but he couldn't control it, not even grandpa and grandma, and his eldest brother would not listen to him.

In his spare time, Yang Ming went to the military mansion of the right leader. He needed to know who was under his command.

You don't need to know too much, at least those in power need to know.

There is one general in the left and right leading army mansions, and one long history and one Sima below. There is no general position.

In fact, among the Twelve Guards of the Sui Dynasty, only the Zuojianmen Mansion and the Left and Right Leading Army Mansion had no generals, and the other eight mansions had them.

The long history of the Youling Army Mansion was born in the Xue family in Hedong. His name is Xue Shixiong. This person is not well-known, but he has a son who is very famous in history books, Xue Wanche.

Sima of the Right Commander's Mansion was born in the Li family of Longxi, he was Li Chen, the second son of Li An, the former Left and Right Commander General Li An, and the second elder brother of Li Xiaogong.

From now on, Yang Ming will be the General of the Right Commander's Mansion, ranked eighth among the twelve guards, and his main duties are patrolling the west of the imperial city and guarding the gates of the imperial city.

Guarding the imperial city has always been the top priority. Back then, Yang Jian only worried about Yang Shuang. Now that Yang Ming is taking over, it can be seen that in Yang Jian's heart, Yang Ming is absolutely trustworthy.

The normal establishment of the Youling Army Mansion is 8000 people, divided into three shifts, 6000 people in each shift, and the defense is changed once a quarter. Except for the sergeants on duty, everyone else will return home. It is time to plow the fields and work.

This is the case with the military system of the Sui Dynasty. There is no salary, but there are more fields under the name. Using the fields to raise soldiers saves a lot of expenses.

As for Menxia Shengnayan, he is in charge of reviewing government orders and sealing and refuting various matters, so as to prepare for the emperor's advisers and has the right to advise and advise. This is the real position of real power, and his status is actually higher than that of the six ministers.

They are all part-timers, and there are seven people under their supervision, including Gao Jiong, Yang Su, Su Wei, Niu Hong, Yang Shuang, Pei Ju, and Yang Ming.

Although Gao Jiong was dismissed from office, the position of Menxia Shengnayan has not been stripped away, but it is equivalent to a vacant position at the moment, after all, he can no longer enter the palace.

This time, Yang Ming has really entered the central organization and can participate in state affairs.

He is only 16 years old this year.

Because the crown prince Yang Guang went to Renshou Palace to serve the sick, the current government affairs of the Sui Dynasty were in a mess. All matters had to be reviewed by the Minister of Finance before going to Renshou Palace to report. This time wasted a lot of time.

Therefore, in all the dynasties and dynasties of China, the state of the world depends entirely on the emperor alone. If he neglects his administration, chaos will inevitably arise.

The point is, no one has dared to persuade.

Can you persuade Yang Jian not to recuperate?Can you persuade Yang Jian to return to Daxing Palace to take charge?

Can't persuade.

All courtiers must put loyalty to the emperor first, the health of the emperor is more important than the lives of the people.

The emperor is heaven.

When Yang Yinjiang was in the fourth month of her pregnancy, warlocks and alchemists from all walks of life appeared on the stage. They had only one task, to see if the baby in Yang Yinjiang's belly was a boy or a girl.

Having boys and girls is different.

Boys have the right to inherit.

At the Taichang Temple, people come every day to guide Yang Yinjiang's daily life and daily diet. This is probably the brightest moment in Yang Yinjiang's life. Everyone holds her in the palm of her hand because of her belly. The one in her arms is the son and grandson of the dragon.

Eight out of ten magicians said that Yang Yinjiang was pregnant with a boy, and the rest said that she was pregnant with a girl.

Prediction is for boys, and the rewards are much more than those for predicting girls.

The words of these people are also ambiguous. For example, Zhao Zhao, a Taoist priest who is highly regarded by Comrade Yang Guang, said: Conceived in the first month, when the yang energy is the most intense, the possibility of giving birth to a boy is high.

This is pure nonsense.

Yang Ming himself did not say that he favored boys over girls, but this time, he also hoped that it would be a boy, because he was too influenced by the people around him, and both his mother and concubine and Yang Yinjiang almost believed that it was a boy.

Yang Lihua just said that men and women are the same, but she was stared at by her mother and concubine Xiao Shi.

That evening, the drunken boss Yang Zhao came. He was a male, so he was not allowed to visit in the dormitory, so he could only find Yang Ming. The two brothers sat together again and had a drink.

"Do brother a favor, get rid of your sister-in-law earlier," Yang Zhao seemed drunk, but spoke soberly.

Sister-in-law Cui Heng is still living in Yang Ming's Hedong Palace and taking care of Yang Yinjiang. Yang Ming still approves of this sister-in-law in his heart.

"Sister-in-law is virtuous and virtuous," Yang Ming could only say so.

Yang Zhao pondered for a moment, then said lightly: "Brother, I don't hide anything from you, I intentionally abolished her and made Wei Shi my rightful concubine."

"May I know the reason?" Yang Ming asked.

Yang Zhao shook his head: "There are some things that elder brother can tell you, but there are some things that I can't say."

"Understood," Yang Ming nodded.

After all, the brothers have separated. This is a family matter. I really don't need to go into it.

"It's unseemly to waste a concubine after all. If you're a husband and wife, elder brother should try to leave her a way out," Yang Ming said.

Yang Zhao didn't speak, but nodded slightly after a long silence.
