Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 417
Taking over the East Palace is not an easy task.

When Yang Yong was the crown prince, the entire team was carefully crafted by Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo. The lineup was absolutely luxurious, and many of them were concurrently held by central bosses, or even talented ministers, but they were transferred to Yang Yong as subordinate officials.

It can be seen that Yang Jian and his wife have high hopes for Yang Yong.

When Yang Guang took office as the crown prince, he basically had his own team, but until Yang Zhao passed away, there were still vacancies among the subordinate officials.

In the final analysis, the crown prince's subordinates were easily handled by the prince. During Yang Zhao's period, the Eastern Palace's positions were frequently transferred because Yang Zhao was not easy to use.

Yang Ming is not like Yang Zhao, who doesn’t like what he doesn’t like. In his mind, the officials of the East Palace are a miniature version of the center. They will be the servants of the dragon in the future, and they can’t be discarded at any time according to their own preferences. He has to take many factors into consideration.

Now he has officials from Guanzhong, Jiangnan, and Shandong. To put it bluntly, he wants to establish a three-party balance in his East Palace early, so as to prevent the Guanzhong faction from dominating.

That is to say, there is no contradiction, and contradiction is created.

Every time Li Jing was on duty, he would go to report to Yang Ming. When Yang Ming was not there, he would go to Yang Yinjiang. De Yi would not collude with each other. He and Yang Ming's earliest subordinates were Yuan Wendu, Li Baiyao, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Pei Xizai.

And Feng Deyi, together with Yang Xuanting, Yang Wanshi, and Yang Yuanqing who will enter Beijing tonight, can be classified as the Yang Su School or the Crown Princess School.

The rest of the rookies are the young faction led by Li Gang.

These are just the three major factions that have been separated temporarily due to first-come-first-served reasons. With the continuous completion of the officials of the Eastern Palace, they will gradually develop into regional ones. This is Yang Ming's goal.

I can only sleep if they fight among themselves.

Eleven thousand bulls prepared themselves, and Yang Ming arranged for Yu Yu, Pei Shuang, Dugu Lingyun, and Wei Huaijing to be by his side, and the rest were responsible for guarding the bedroom.

Of these four people, three were reliable, and the other came to Yu, which was deliberately arranged by Yang Ming, because he wanted to win him over to protect his son.

Yang Ming, can be said to be the most restless prince after the founding of the Sui Dynasty. He always likes to run outside the palace.

During these days, I first went to Yang Xiong’s house, had a drink with their father and son, and also went to Pei Ju’s and Gao Yan’s houses. Later, Lu Chu invited him to a banquet, because Lu Chu got a Wu Wu from somewhere. Sound Dance Troupe.

Tonight, I am going to Lai Huer's house, not Yang Ming's initiative, but Lai Huer through his grandson Laiyu, hoping that Yang Ming will appreciate it.

Of course you should be rewarded.

Your grandson is Qianniu Beishen hand-picked by my father. His intention is to let me have more contact with you and repair the relationship. How can I go against my father's wishes.

What is backward walking?Lai Huer is about the same now.

As soon as the Prince's motorcade arrived at Xingningfang, Lai Huer trotted towards the motorcade with his sons.

The Wuhou guards on both sides of the street immediately cleared the street and strictly prohibited anyone from approaching the convoy.

"Bow your heads, don't look at me," Wuhou Wei shouted to the people.

Lowering your head is a way to prevent assassination. Even if you have a crossbow, you have to aim, right?How do you aim without looking up?

The lord who came to protect the son of the country, is now taking the initiative to ask Ying to be Yang Ming's coachman. This is a way of apologizing. If Yang Ming refuses to agree, it means that he does not accept the apology.

"Mr. Rong has been a soldier for half his life, so he has a lot of old injuries?" Yang Ming, who was in the carriage, said to Lai Huer, who was driving outside the carriage.

Lai Hu'er smiled and said: "This is unavoidable. I have suffered a shoulder injury for more than ten years, and the pain has never stopped every day. It is difficult for outsiders to understand the feeling of this."

Yang Ming said: "I heard that Duke Rong followed He Ruobi in his early years, and then you two broke up?"

"To tell you the truth, even if there is a personal enmity, I only have respect for Song Guogong," Lai Huer sighed, "The past is gone, but it's a pity that he is no longer here."

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Later, Duke Rong served under the Duke of Chu, and was once mistaken for Duke Chu's faction. Now people in the world know that you are actually the most loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty."

"Don't dare to dare, the most loyal minister is not my turn," Lai Huer said, "I have learned a lot from the Duke of Chu. The person I admire the most in my life is also the Duke of Chu. I often take it as my teacher. The things about the princess , I also hope that His Highness can relay a sentence for the minister."

"Tell me," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Lai Huer said: "People are trapped in the court situation, and they can't help themselves."

What he said was implying to Yang Ming that it was not my intention to oppose Yang Su's family, it was forced by the situation.

He felt that Yang Ming could understand.

Yang Ming nodded and said: "Don't talk about the past, I won't blame you, and the Crown Princess won't blame you either."

The premise is that you have to be honest. Yang Ming knows that Lai Huer can understand his words.

It is worthy of being the most ruthless person in the emperor's tour of the south of the Yangtze River. The scale of the Huer's mansion is close to that of Yang Su's, but compared with Yang Su's house, he can use the word "simple".

There is still a difference between a favored minister and a powerful minister.

This year, No. 11 sons have just been born in Laihuer, and he has twelve in history.

The first six were born to one mother, and the last five were born to five mothers. The ages of the first six and the last five are also faulted.

The sixth son is nineteen years old this year, and the seventh son is ten years old this year.

So in the banquet hall, only the six sons-in-law who came to protect the children, and the eldest grandson Laiyu standing behind Yang Ming were present.

With so many young people present, it is doomed that there will be no heartfelt words tonight, and most of them will be on the spot. The nurse came tonight to test Yang Ming's mind and see if he is willing to repair the relationship with him.

During the dinner, Lai Huer had been observing Yang Ming. He wanted to see the other party's current state, was he just pretending?
Everyone knows that Yang Mingcheng's mansion is deep. How difficult is it to guess such a person's mind?

Now he is chatting and laughing with his own sons, chatting happily, looking at the faces of his silly sons, it is obvious that he has already developed a good impression of him.

嫩啊
"If Liu Lang is interested, why don't you go to the East Palace?" Yang Ming patted Lai Zheng's shoulder and said with a smile, "Servant Zuo Wu, do you want to go?"

Laizheng was still holding the wine in his hand. Hearing this, he turned his head to look at his father. Lai Huer hurriedly gave him a wink. Laizheng understood, drank all the wine in the bowl, and knelt down to Yang Ming, "Humble job!" I would like to be the prince and do the work of a dog and a horse."

Come to think of it, he is very good at fighting. Yang Ming fell in love with this guy in the competition with the Tiele people in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

Yang Ming's current eight-rate and two generals, only arrange for Li Jing, Yang Xuanting, and Yang Wanshi, and there is still a big gap. Lai's family is from the south, and he doesn't deal with Yang Su, so Laizheng is a very good candidate.

This is how people are. It is almost impossible to get back together after falling apart. The relationship between Lai Huer and Hongnong Yang is irreparable.

Lai Hu'er also looked overjoyed and toasted Yang Ming frequently. As for whether he was really happy or not, I don't know.

No one dared to let Yang Ming drink too much, so when Lai Huer felt that Yang Ming was almost ready, he withdrew the drink and invited a kabuki to perform.

Yang Ming didn't leave Rongguo Duke's mansion until he was approaching.

The reason why I stayed for so long was to impress Lai and his son that I have the patience to repair the relationship, so it's up to you.

After sending Yang Ming away, Lai Huer immediately summoned the six sons into the study, and whispered:
"Remember, when you first go to the East Palace, you will inevitably encounter some neglect, and the days will be very difficult, but there is no suffering that you can't survive, and you must bear it."

Laizheng frowned and said, "Grandpa is saying that the Crown Princess will take care of me?"

"A Zuo Wu servant is worthy of the Crown Princess targeting you?" Lai Hu'er said in a deep voice: "Be careful of the one whose surname is Yang."

When he came to rectify, he said in a daze: "From this point of view, this is not a good job? There are quite a few people surnamed Yang."

Lai Huer said: "the prince wants to use you, there must be a reason, but I can't figure it out for a while, remember, no matter how much wronged you have suffered, don't go to the prince to complain, you are an adult, and you can only take care of yourself in the future , as long as you survive, those brothers of yours may rely on your help in the future."

He was a reckless person and couldn't stand it. After being so frightened by his father, he no longer wanted to go to the East Palace, so he said with a bitter face:

"Grandpa is also aware of my son's temperament. I can't stand being useless the most. A group of people surnamed Yang have teamed up to deal with me. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive a day?"

"You bastard," Lai Huer slapped his son on the head and said, "Use your brains, the surname Yang will clean you up, can't you get along with those who are not surnamed Yang? With the crown prince around, they dare not show it blatantly." There are gangs and factions, and I still have everything.”

Lai Hu'er snorted coldly: "Yang Su is dead, but your father and I are still alive, and your father and I are not vegetarians. I will teach you a way."

"What way?" Laizheng asked hastily.

Lai Hu'er said: "The people with the surname Pei in the East Palace must be friendly with each other with heart, they can help you avoid a lot of trouble."

When he came to rectify, his eyes lit up: "Why didn't I think of this? My son understands. Don't worry, grandpa. Serving the crown prince is a very important matter, and my son will definitely bear with it for a while."

"Your main wife was born in Jingzhaowei, and there is also a surname Wei in the East Palace," Lai Nuer said, "Do you still need me to teach you this?"

Laizheng was completely relieved: "Come on, my son understands what to do."

Yang Ming, who left the Rongguo Mansion, bumped into a convoy that was entering the city overnight on the way.

At this time, the gates of the city had been closed long ago, and those who could enter the capital were definitely not ordinary people. They sent someone forward to inquire, and only then did they know that Pei Xi had returned.

And Pei Xi learned that it was the prince's car that hit him, so he hurried over to pay his respects.

Yang Ming lifted the curtain of the car and asked curiously, "What's going on? You're coming back at this time?"

Pei Xi said excitedly: "If you go back to Your Highness, I will be twins. Let me go back to Beijing to take care of you."

What the hell is it really effective?This is really a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse. It seems that it is indeed a problem of Jian Jian's wrong posture. This kid is not very good at playing?
Yang Ming was also very happy, and said with a smile, "Hurry up and go back, I'll ask Ah Yun to visit tomorrow."

"Don't dare," Pei Xi hurriedly waved her hands and said, "I should be the one to go and say hello to Elder Sister."

"Alright," Yang Ming nodded and smiled, "Shimin is also in the palace now, he will be very happy when he finds out."

It seems that Zheng Guanyin and Li Jiancheng have no destiny in this life.

Zheng Anrao is currently working in the Eastern Palace. Because he has no political experience, he is a minor official like Wei Zheng for the time being. How he will be used in the future depends on himself.

Yang Ming judges people by their backgrounds and abilities, Xue Shou has no experience, but his talents are amazing, and his reputation has already been well-known in the east of the river.
