Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 189

The father asked him to meet Gao Jiong, but now it can no longer be called an order, but an imperial decree.

Since it is the emperor's will, then everything has to give way, and it must be done first.

After leaving the palace, Yang Ming rushed to Gao Jiong's mansion without stopping, but was stopped by someone on the way.

The person who stopped him was Yang Lihua's maid, who said that Yang Lihua wanted to see him, now, immediately, immediately.

Yang Ming thought it was over, the person he was most afraid of seeing now was Yang Lihua.

Although the father succeeded in enthroning, he was almost killed in the Renshou Palace. Although Liu Shu was only charged with disrespecting the decree, everyone knew that he was exiled because he wanted to support Yang Yong's restoration.

There are nearly a hundred people from the Liu clan in the east of the river, who are distributed in various yamen in the imperial city, and many of them are close relatives of Liu Shu. If Yang Guang charges Liu Shu with treason, he will punish the nine clans and implicate many people.

So don't look at Liu Shu committing such a big crime, in the end Yang Guang only exiled their family.

Judging the Jiu Clan is the heaviest punishment. In the Sui Dynasty, as long as your background is strong enough, no matter how bad you are, you will not be charged too much.

The reason why Liu Chang was convicted of treason was because Liu Chang's biggest backer was the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Yuwen family had already been exterminated by Yang Jian, so it would not be a big deal to exterminate the old Liu family.

It is often said in history that Yang Jian killed his nine-year-old grandson Yu Wenchan. In fact, Yu Wenchan's biological mother was the Queen of Heaven, Zhu Manyue. He was only adopted to Yang Lihua, not his own.

Yang Lihua only gave birth to a daughter, Yuwen Eying.

Of course, if Yang Lihua had a son back then, Yang Jian would most likely kill him too.

Yang Guang had suffered such a big loss from Liu Shu in the change of Renshou Palace, so he would naturally plan how to kill Yang Yong so that no one would worry about restoring Yang Yong.

And Yang Lihua was eager to see Yang Ming now because she had already foreseen that Yang Guang was about to make a move.

Yang Ming's not embarrassing is a lie, no one can protect Yang Yong now, whoever dares to protect him, Yang Guang will punish him.

But at the beginning, I personally promised Yang Lihua that I would try my best to protect Yang Yong.

How can this be good?

Yang Ming couldn't evade it, otherwise Yang Lihua would become suspicious, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to see Yang Lihua first.

"What happened in Renshou Palace?" Yang Lihua sat down in the living room and asked calmly.

After Yang Ming sat down, he said, "There's nothing we can hide from Auntie, you must already know."

"I know, it's my business, I want to listen to you now," Yang Lihua said in a cold tone.

Yang Ming shrugged helplessly, and narrated the whole story in detail without any falsehood.

After Yang Lihua finished listening, her face softened a lot, she sighed, and said:

"I thought, I'm useless now, and it's not worth telling me the truth."

Yang Ming hurriedly complained: "Why? My nephew knows how my aunt treats me, and I will never hide anything from my aunt."

With Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo gone, Yang Lihua's influence will naturally be greatly weakened. How much authority she will have in the future depends entirely on how much Yang Guang is willing to give her.

Yang Lihua's expression was haggard, and after a moment of daze, she said quietly: "After this encounter, Amo can't bear Sudifa anymore, where is he being imprisoned now?"

My nephew is really gratified that you have this awareness, Yang Ming hurriedly said:

"Still in the old East Palace, with only Yun Zhaoxun as a companion."

Yang Lihua smiled miserably: "I am really miserable. My husband died early, and my parents also left me. My brothers are dead and imprisoned, but I can't do anything."

No way, who made you born in the emperor's family?

Yang Ming didn't dare to say anything, just kept silent.

While crying, Yang Lihua wiped her tears again and again, as if she had never seen the scarf handed over by Yang Ming:
"Auntie doesn't want to embarrass you. I know Su Difa can't keep it. I can't do it, let alone you. Now, your father doesn't allow me to visit the palace. Help me find a way so that I can enter the palace to see you." Su Difa and Zheqian (Yang Xiu's nickname)."

Shu Wang Yang Xiu is still under house arrest in the palace, but the treatment is much better than before, living in a separate bedroom, except that he has no freedom, everything else.

After all, he played witchcraft back then, targeting Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo, and had nothing to do with Yang Guang, so after his father ascended the throne, he made an exception and allowed his son and concubine to live in the palace.

After all, they are brothers, there is no conflict of interest, Yang Guang will let him go.

If Yang Lihua wanted to see these two people, she had to get Yang Guang to nod. Now she pinned her hopes on Yang Ming, and Yang Ming didn't have the ability.

Father Yang Guang has never beaten him until now, but if he dared to mention this matter, he would probably be beaten severely.

Yang Ming was silent for a while, but still nodded.

Give it a try, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Yang Lihua's refusal to let you help protect Yang Yong is already reducing the difficulty for him.

Leaving the Princess' Mansion, Yang Ming took a carriage to Longzheng Square to meet Gao Jiong.

In Liangyi Hall, Yang Guang was still dealing with government affairs, and even had lunch before the case. Afterwards, Empress Xiao came to tidy up the dinner plates in person.

"I remember you said that Chen Shubao's matter should be done by Ming'er. Why didn't you mention it to the child today?"

Yang Guang raised his head, frowned and looked outside the hall, and said lightly:

"I used to want Ming'er to do it because I thought it was not appropriate to entrust others. But now that I think about it, I should not let my son do this kind of thing. If it is leaked in the future, Ming'er will be hated."

When Yang Guang was still the crown prince, Yang Jian had already hinted to him that Chen Shubao could not be kept. As for when to kill him, let Yang Guang decide for himself.

Does this still need to be considered?Yang Guang was extremely smart, so he naturally knew what his father wanted, so after the national funeral, Yang Guang had been thinking about how to send Chen Shubao away.

Empress Xiao smiled and said: "It's rare that you are willing to think about Ming'er. This child is the third child, and he will suffer the most in the future. As parents, we must find ways to make up for it."

"Of course I know this," Yang Guang frowned, "However, among my three sons, the third son is the most ruthless. This kid has the same temperament as his grandfather. If I don't suppress him now, I'm afraid Zhao Er I won't be able to hold back in the future."

Empress Xiao disagreed, saying: "They are blood brothers, Ming'er has always respected Zhao'er, and will never do anything wrong."

"What do you know, woman? I have four brothers, what do you see now?" Yang Guang snapped and continued:
"They have separated and will become more and more estranged in the future. Of course I don't want to see their brothers fighting, but I must also be prepared to prevent this from happening."

Empress Xiao sighed helplessly, she still didn't agree with her husband's point of view, but she didn't bother to refute, and after a long sigh, she left the Hall of Liangyi.

Yang Guang didn't have the mind to deal with government affairs anymore. Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs were all matters of the world, and there was nothing that did not cause headaches.

So he also left Liangyi Hall and went to the Forbidden Garden where Mrs. Xuanhua Chen was imprisoned.

Chen is 28 years old this year. She is still alive, but in fact she is almost dead, because she has been executed in name.

"The person who interrogated Liu Shuyuanyan told me that you planned to falsely accuse me of being rude to you in front of the Supreme?"

In the room, Yang Guang dismissed all the maids and sat in front of Mrs. Chen with a sneer on his face.

Mrs. Chen is currently wearing mourning clothes, sitting in front of Yang Guang with her head bowed, her eyes lowered.

"It's not a false accusation, you are indeed rude."

Yang Guang smiled and said, "Where did I become rude to you?"

Mrs. Chen raised her head and said indifferently: "You look at me like you are looking at a lowly servant. I am the wife of the supreme family. Even if it is a common people's family, I am also your aunt."

Yang Guangda laughed and shook his head again and again, as if hearing something extremely ridiculous.

After a while, the corner of Yang Guang's mouth curled up and said:
"Take off your clothes."

Chen was taken aback for a moment, and her face paled immediately: "How dare you?"

Yang Guang put his arms on the armrests of the chair, leaned back and said:

"Didn't you say that I was rude to you? Now, I order you to please me."

Chen couldn't help trembling all over, she never imagined that Yang Guang would be such a rebellious person.

"I'm wearing mourning clothes, you know who I'm wearing them for," Chen gritted his teeth.

Yang Guang responded lightly: "That's why I let you take it off."

Chen's heart is ashamed. In this world, once a woman loses the support of a man, she is a plaything at the mercy of others.

She was originally a princess of subjugation, a bereaved dog, she was brought into the Yeting Palace when she was young, and suffered all kinds of humiliation.

Who knew that for more than ten years, she had been oppressed by Queen Dugu. Although she was a married woman, she was like a slave.

Fortunately, the Supreme Being was newly mourned, and he was imprisoned by his son, and even had to serve him like a woman serving a man.

Good luck tricks people, maybe this is my own destiny in this life.

After a while, Mrs. Xuanhua stood up with dull eyes, took off her mourning clothes, and slowly came to Yang Guang like a walking corpse.
Yang Ming, who was on the way to Longzhengfang, didn't know that his father's true nature had gradually revealed. He thought that history was nonsense, that father Yang Guang had no affair with Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Xuanhua.

According to historical records, Mrs. Chen of Xuanhua was admitted to the palace by Yang Guang, and died a year later at the age of 29. After her death, Yang Guang felt sad and wrote a poem "Shen Shang Fu" to commemorate her.

Of course, no one would know what Yang Guang did to the Chen family today, and those who knew would dare not speak out.

So Yang Ming wouldn't know either.

What you can know is not necessarily the truth, what you can't know is the truth.

This time, Gao Jiong did not go out to meet Yang Ming, but his second son Gao Hongde led Yang Ming into the backyard, which was still the guest room where they met for the first time.

Gao Jiong had three sons. The eldest son, Gao Shengdao, is currently the governor of Juzhou, which is Yishui County in Linyi City, Shandong Province.

The third son, Gao Biaoren, married Princess Daning Yang Jingyun, the daughter of the abolished Crown Prince Yong. After Yang Yong was abolished, Yang Jingyun was also demoted to a commoner, so Gao Biaoren was dragged down by both his father and the old man, and now he is also a flexible employee. .

The same situation as him is Wei Yuancheng's younger brother Wei Yuanzhao.

Wei Yuancheng was the Duke of Yun, the grandson of Wei Xiaokuan, who was recommended by Yang Zhao to succeed Zhao Yu as the governor of Jizhou.

His younger brother, Wei Yuanzhao, married Yang Yong's other daughter, Princess Fengning, Yang Jinghui. He was still working as a member of the Ministry of Industry, but the higher-ups asked him to go home and rest for four years.

This is fate. Originally, these two were sons-in-law of the prince with a bright future, but God made a joke with them.

Gao Biaoren would never divorce his wife. The old Gao family did not have this tradition. Even if his wife is a concubine, they are still loving husband and wife, but money is a little tight, so they have to rely on Gao Jiong to help them.

Gao Jiong has been prime minister for 20 years, so he must be rich, but if he is compared with Yang Su, then he is poor.

　"Sui Shu" and "Zizhi Tongjian" all record that Yang Guang and Mrs. Xuanhua had an affair. As for the truth, future generations will not know clearly, but since history has already been concluded, I can't write that they have an affair, otherwise it will be If you wash Bai Yangguang, you will be sealed.
