Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 174
Yang Ming has not lived at Yang Yinjiang's place for many days, because there are too many people there.

Today's Yang Yinjiang, every night when she goes to bed, she will be accompanied by four maids in case of emergencies.

After Yang Ming sent Yang Zhao out of the mansion, he came to look for Yang Yinjiang. After dismissing the two maids, he sat down in front of the couch, held each other's hand, and said:

"How are you feeling lately?"

Yang Yinjiang stood up with a tired face, and said with a smile, "I'm much better now. The imperial doctor sent by the palace said that my fetus is stable now, so I can go out for a walk and walk more. It's good for the child."

Yang Ming nodded: "Is sister-in-law here today?"

"Yes," Yang Yinjiang said with a happy face, "Sister-in-law will go back to rest in the evening, I heard that elder brother is here?"

Yang Ming hummed, and said, "Brother asked me to find a way to send sister-in-law away. How about it? How did you find out?"

Yang Yinjiang is ice-snow smart. During this period of time when she was with Jin Wangfei Cui Heng, she kept beating around to find out the situation.

Cui Heng is a typical daughter of an aristocratic family, she doesn't have much scheming, so it's easy for Yang Yinjiang to get some information out of her.

"There is no relationship between sister-in-law and elder brother. They have lived together as a couple for so many years. They are called husband and wife, but they are very strange."

Yang Ming nodded, not all well-matched families can bring about a happy marriage, not Yang Yong and Yuan Zhen, nor Yang Zhao and Cui Heng.

The women of the Sui family are basically victims of marriage. They have no right to pursue their own happiness, and they cannot decide their own life-long affairs.

If you can meet the other half who is happy with each other, it is a blessing, but if you don't, it is a tragedy in the world.

Of course, such tragedies abound, this is the fate of women in feudal times.

The real misfortune of Jin Wangfei Cui Heng is yet to come. If Yang Zhao decides to abolish her concubine, then she will have almost no other choice in the rest of her life besides becoming a monk.

Once Cui Heng is abolished, the Cui family in Boling will not accept her again. The world is so big that only the front of the Buddha is her shelter.

"Sister-in-law is a caring person. I rarely like a woman like this. If possible, you should help sister-in-law," Yang Yinjiang said softly.

Yang Ming sighed: "It's not easy to intervene, after all, it's the elder brother's own family affairs. Now, for the sake of Cui Hongsheng's face, grandpa temporarily suppressed the elder brother's thoughts. When the big thing is settled, the elder sister will definitely be kicked out."

Yang Yinjiang buried her head in Yang Ming's arms with a sad face, and whispered:
"I'm very scared. I'm afraid that one day in the future, you will also sweep me out of the house. At that time, I really can only die."

Yang Ming patted her on the back and said in relief, "No way."

In Jinyang Tower, Yang Ming and Yang Gongren agreed to meet here.

The latter has been looking for an opportunity to express his gratitude since Yang Ming returned to Beijing. What are you grateful for?Xie Yangming helped settle down his brother-in-law Yan Baoshou.

Yang Gongren is only 37 years old this year, and he is already the Minister of the Ministry of Officials at such a young age, thanks to his father, Guangping Wang Yangxiong.

In fact, Yang Xiong's title has been changed to King Ander, but everyone is still used to calling him King Guangping, because Yang Xiong has faded out of the court since he changed his title and is at home.

This branch of their family, whether it was in the Sui Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, was very popular, especially in the Wu Zhou period.

Wu Zetian had to call Yang Gongren uncle.

Because they belonged to the clan, Yang Xiong's sons were arranged early. His two brothers, Yang Da and Yang Shigui, were also doing well. Prominent.

"Thanks to His Highness for taking me in this time, if not, I really don't know how to settle down with my brother-in-law," Yang Gongren offered to pour wine for Yang Ming.

The officialdom of the Sui Dynasty paid special attention to human relationships and sophistication. In their spare time, everyone basically did one thing: socialize.

The wider the network, the easier it is to handle things. In many cases, power is not as good as connections.

That's why, the boss, Yang Zhao, was socializing almost every night, spending all day in the social arena, so much so that he broke his body.

"It's just a little effort, why bother to thank you?" Yang Ming raised his glass and offered a toast.

Although the two belong to the same family, they are far apart after all, so there is no clan title for each other. In terms of seniority, Yang Ming is a generation higher than Yang Gongren.

After a few cups, Yang Gongren said: "I have paid special attention to it. If the officials still grab Murong Sanzang, I will say hello to you first."

Yang Ming nodded and said, "Wei Shangshu didn't say hello?"

"No," Yang Gongren said, "Wei Shangshu and Liu Gong are not against each other, and they don't talk when they meet now."

Yang Ming couldn't help laughing and said, "I really don't know what Liu Shu is thinking. What good does it do him to offend so many people at once?"

"He thinks too highly of himself," Yang Gongren was from the clan, so he didn't take Liu Shu seriously, because the other party didn't have the ability to knock him down.

People are like this, whoever threatens them will be in awe of that person.

"He is just the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but he regards himself as a servant and discusses things with Su Gong. He is actually an equal posture, which is contemptible."

Su Wei's prestige in the court is very high. After all, in the early years of Emperor Kaihuang, he was one of the big bosses of the central government. Now, 20 years later, he is still in power at the central government, so he is naturally highly respected.

On the other hand, Liu Shu borrowed more from his wife Yang Awu's influence.

In the Great Sui Dynasty Hall, there are actually only three people who can really be called the residents of Baiguan, Gao Jiong, Yang Su, and Su Wei.

Other than that, other people's qualifications are not very good.

Now Liu Shu thinks he can replace Yang Su, but in fact it is a fool's dream. Yang Su's prestige can only be compared with Gao Jiong.

Yang Ming said: "I have been transferred from Jingzhou now, if there is a new appointment in Jingzhou area, please let me know in advance."

Yang Gongren nodded: "One small matter. At present, there is no movement. Everyone knows that Jingzhou used to be under the jurisdiction of His Highness, so no one will be arranged there in a short time."

This again involves human sophistication.

Although Yang Ming has left Jingzhou, he is promoted, so everyone has to show face. Even if the big clans want to arrange people elsewhere, they will not make Jingzhou's idea for the time being. Even if they do, they will tell Yang Ming in advance. say hi.

Yang Ming will definitely keep a close eye on Jingzhou's personnel affairs, especially the Xiangyang navy, which he developed by himself and does not allow anyone to get involved.

"This Jinyang Building is my property," Yang Ming said with a sudden smile.

Yang Gongren laughed and said, "I've heard about it for a long time."

"So, when Minister Yang comes here, don't bring any money," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Yang Gongren smiled and said, "Then respect is worse than obedience."

The restaurant doesn't cost a lot of money, not to mention that central officials like Yang Gongren seldom come to this kind of place at all. Yang Ming's words are just to show his attitude, and there is a sense of closeness.

Yang Gongren naturally also received Yang Ming's intention, and he was also very happy to establish a good relationship with Yang Ming.

Because now everyone knows that Yang Ming will enter the center of the Great Sui Dynasty as an upstart, and the Great Sui Dynasty Hall will inevitably show a new look because of Yang Ming's arrival.

After sending Yang Gongren away, Yang Ming wandered casually in Jinyang Building.

This industry that I valued at the time has become irrelevant now. Apart from collecting some gossip, the income is almost negligible.

As a well-known person, Yu Wenlan has already placed seven goddess-level oirans in Jinyang Tower, and these women have almost taken away the souls of those powerful children.

The most famous of them is Li Baiyao, the son of Li Delin, the former internal historian.

This kid's father is a great Confucian, a top university scholar, and he himself is also a well-known talent in the Sui Dynasty.

There is nothing to say about talent, but she is too lustful. Not to mention a beautiful concubine Yang Su was kidnapped over the wall, and she often messes around outside.

This man is two years older than Yang Gongren, at 39, and he still has sex with women.

It's strange that wit is always associated with romance, and Li Baiyao is the number one flair in Daxing City.

According to Yu Wenlan, Li Baiyao wanted to take care of a goddess in Jinyang Tower, but Yu Wenlan disagreed.

For one thing, Li Baiyao's asking price was not high, all his money was spent on women, and his family property was running low, so he couldn't come up with a price that would satisfy Yu Wenlan.

Secondly, Yu Wenlan thinks that this boy is too ungrateful and ungrateful, throwing him away after playing is not a good destination for a woman.

There is a reason why Yu Wenlan can gain the absolute trust of these goddesses, because he has always been thinking about the goddesses themselves, and he regards the goddesses as human beings.

Goddesses are the highest-ranking prostitutes, belonging to lowly status, most of them come from the courts of old Qi and Chen.

If there is no Old Liang, Old Liang is protected by Crown Princess Xiao. In recent years, many descendants of criminal officials in Old Liang have been properly settled by Concubine Xiao.

Still the same sentence, ordinary people can't have beautiful women in their homes.

Since being able to become a goddess means that they all had a good background, this kind of woman is the most attractive to men, because they couldn't get it before, but now they only need to spend money.

In the old days, Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people.

Right now, Li Baiyao is in Jinyang Building, and Yang Ming is also idle, planning to meet this great talent with a long history.

Li Baiyao used to be the prince sheren of the abolished prince Yang Yong, but was later raped. Historically, he also served as the prince's right concubine for Li Chengqian, which is equivalent to assisting two princes. Compared with Li Gang, he was a little worse.

The Book of Northern Qi, one of the most famous 24 histories in Chinese history, was written by Li Baiyao on the basis of his father Li Delin's old manuscript.

The "Old Tang Book", one of the 24 histories, is also a separate biography for this kid.

Entering the wing room, Yang Ming saw this bearded and romantic gentleman. He looked very ordinary and had nothing to do with being handsome, but Yang Ming had heard that this guy was particularly attractive to women.

By what?By talent?
No, talent is not popular in Sui Dynasty.

Relying on his three-inch tongue.

"Hiss..." Seeing the stranger who suddenly entered the room, Li Baiyao gasped, and exclaimed, "Where is the virtuous brother from? It's so expensive?"

It's comforting to say that.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "I've heard about my brother's name for a long time, so I'm here to pay my respects."
