Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 434
The scale of Yeting Palace is about the same as that of the East Palace. It is divided into east and west sides of the imperial city, and Daxing Palace is sandwiched between them.

Yeting Palace is divided into three parts, the north is Taicang, which is the royal granary, the middle is where the maids and the family members of officials confiscated into the court work, and the south is the official office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The people here are very mixed and difficult to manage, so there are often scenes of torture.

The problem lies in the family members of criminals who did not enter the palace. These women are knowledgeable, scheming, and know how to buy people's hearts. Therefore, several groups of larger forces have formed in the palace.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes. There are more than 4 people in Ye Ting Palace, how could there be no disputes.

The biggest three waves are the family members of Duke Yu Wenxin of the State of Qi, the family members of Gong Gongxie of Le’an County, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty Han Wang Yuwenzan, Zhao Wang Yuwenzhao, Chen Wang Yuwenchun, Yue Wang Yuwensheng, Dai Wang Yuwenda and Teng Wang Yuwenbu The family members of others.

Among them, Yu Wenxin is the elder brother of Yu Wenkai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, so although he was sentenced to death by Yang Jian, his family's life in Yeting Palace is quite good, after all, there are backers outside the palace.

The same is true for Yuan Xie, Luoyang Yuan, if the family does not fail, Yuan Xie's female relatives will not suffer very much in Yeting Palace.

As for the clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, because it came in early, it was the most powerful and killed the most people. No matter Yang Jian or Yang Guang, they would kill Yuwen's female relatives at every turn. If they killed more, they would be honest.

Among them, Yu Wenzan, king of Han, was Yang Yinjiang's grandfather.

The maids of Ye Ting Palace are not all doing rough work, there are more meticulous work, such as embroidery, broomsticks, calligraphy and painting, copying, massaging acupuncture points, etiquette, decorations, etc., etc., many places need to study Writers, so the family members of those criminals have a place to use.

After entering Yeting Palace, a group of eunuchs and female officials held whips and sticks to clear the way for Yang Ming, ordering all the court ladies to bow their heads and not look up.

"Where is Yun's?" Yang Ming asked the servant beside him.

The other party replied: "Your servant will go and bring her here."

"No, lead the way," Yang Ming prefect said.

After walking for a long time, Yang Ming and his group entered the Laundry Department. In a courtyard, they saw Yun Zhaoxun who was washing clothes.

All the other maids were driven out by the servants, leaving Yun Zhaoxun alone, as if he didn't see Yang Ming and the others, he put the washed clothes on the bamboo rack for drying.

Yang Ming stepped forward and said, "It's already night, why do you have to dry the clothes?"

Yun Zhaoxun ignored him, but was busy working on his own. After drying, he sat back on the wooden pier and continued to scrub.

The servant cursed in a low voice, and was about to step forward holding a short stick, but was scolded by Yang Ming and told him to back down.

Right now, Yun Zhaoxun is no longer the alluring figure of the past, his plump body has become thinner, his tender skin is also brown, his hands are even rougher, his black hair is mostly white, and he is made of a simple wooden The hairpin is tied behind the head.

Yang Ming looked at Yun Dingxing beside him, and found that the other party couldn't bear to look any longer, and was secretly wiping away tears.

After all, he is his own father. It is impossible for him not to be distressed when he sees his daughter reduced to such a fate. You must know that their family was supported by Yun Zhaoxun in the early years. Without Yun Zhaoxun, their Yun family would not be where they are today. .

At this time, Yang Ming said to the servant next to him, "Transfer to the Bureau of Internal Affairs, and be responsible for copying books from now on."

"Yes," the servant replied.

"Hehe." Yun Zhaoxun, who was still washing his clothes, snorted coldly: "There is no need for you to pretend to be merciful. You came today to see how miserable my fate is?"

Yang Ming smiled and ignored her. Instead, Yun Dingxing hurriedly persuaded, "Ah Shu, the crown prince is doing it for your own good. I've changed you to the Inner Palace Bureau. Hurry up and thank you."

Yun Zhaoxun raised his head abruptly, picked up the basin of sewage and walked towards Yun Dingxing.

Yun Dingxing was taken aback for a moment, but didn't evade, and let a basin of cold sewage pour down his head.

"You are such an old bastard," Yun Zhaoxun gritted his teeth, "Yang Yan, Yang Yu, Yang Yun, how did they treat you? How did you harm them?"

Yun Dingxing invited Yang Guang to get rid of his three grandsons through Yuwen Shuzuo. Yang Guang deliberately told Yun Zhaoxun about this matter.

With a sigh, Yun Dingxing remained indifferent, allowing his daughter to slap him across the face.

Yang Ming acted as a spectator from the beginning to the end.

Until the corner of Yun Dingxing's mouth was bloodied, Yun Zhaoxun's hands were red and swollen, and he could no longer slap him.

At this time, Yun Zhaoxun turned to look at Yang Ming, with a grin on the corner of his mouth and said:
"Schools will treat each other with admiration for three days. Qilin'er is no longer Wuxia Amon. Congratulations."

Yang Ming was expressionless.

Then, Yun Zhaoxun walked towards Yang Ming step by step: "Don't you just want to see how miserable I am? I'll let you see enough."

"Crazy woman, what do you want to do?" Several servants hurried forward, picked up the clothes that Yun Zhaoxun had taken off, and put them on her again.

Yang Ming saw the scars all over his body and the many sores, which made it hard to bear to look directly at.

Then, several servants took Yun Zhaoxun, who was swearing non-stop, away.

"From now on, anyone who abuses or scolds Yun's family will be killed with a stick, and the imperial medical office will send a doctor to show her." After finishing speaking, Yang Ming walked away from the small courtyard.

Yun Dingxing hurriedly followed.

After leaving Yeting Palace, Yang Ming asked as he walked, "How is it? How does Yun Shaoqing feel?"

"Happy!" Yun Dingxing wiped his wet old face, and said with a smile, "I've never felt so happy in my life."

Yang Ming smiled, but did not speak.

The matter of Yun Zhaoxun's mother and son has always been the biggest knot in Yun Dingxing's heart. This knot started when Yang Yong was deposed and has tortured Yun Dingxing to this day.

So many years of inner suffering, guilt and pain were poured out today because of my daughter's pot of sewage.

For the sake of the family, he had to do this, because after Yang Yong was abolished, many people were holding on to him. If he didn't change the dock and cater to Yang Guang, he would not live today, nor would his sons live today. .

This is called sacrificing the small self, fulfilling the big self, and giving up the small family to protect everyone.

What looks despicable to outsiders is not an act of righteousness in the eyes of the family.

Yun Dingxing, who had been slapped countless times by his daughter, was very happy in his heart. He wished that his daughter would slap him a few more times. Let's fight. As long as you can vent all the grievances in your heart, what's the matter with grandpa being slapped a few times?
"There have been frequent projects over the years, and the people in the north have suffered a lot. This time, Yun Shaoqing has a heavy responsibility to build the road," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Yun Dingxing said: "No matter how heavy it is, it is not enough for the crown prince. This heavy burden is on your shoulders. We are just using a small force to set off a little bit."

"You are very good at talking," Yang Ming said with a smile, "It is a good thing to be able to speak, but you also need to be able to do things. The combination of speaking and doing things is the ability to understand and be capable, which is what the court needs."

Yun Dingxing hurriedly said: "I think that the current state treasury is abundant and the Chidao project is fully guaranteed. Is it possible to fully exempt the money for the purchase of tools and equipment by the peasants, so as to reduce the pressure on the common people?"

Yang Ming laughed: "Yun Shaoqing is well-versed and capable, and it is almost foreseeable that he will be the chief official of one party in the future."

"The prince is absurd," Yun Dingxing said with a smile.

Yang Ming turned around and patted the other party's shoulder: "Okay, go back and be on duty. Gu is also very happy to make Yun Shaoqing happy tonight."

"Your Highness is magnanimous and benevolent, it must be a long life, and I will retire," Yun Dingxing slowly stepped back and left after shaking his hands.

After sending away the one who could talk, Yang Ming met another one who couldn't speak outside the Tong Training Gate on the only way back to the East Palace.

Dugu Huai'en saw Yang Ming from a distance, so he came over and said:
"How is my business?"

Yang Ming said helplessly, "I didn't mention it to my father."

"It's okay not to mention it," Dugu Huai'en said, "Now the capital is up to you, so you can transfer me away."

The prison gate general in the imperial city is irrelevant, thinking about going to see the city gate all day long.

Yang Ming didn't know what this kid was thinking before, but now he knows.

He is short of money, and his hobbies are very expensive. The imperial city prison gate has no money, but the city defense does.

"Tell me the truth, what do you want to do?" Yang Ming asked.

Dugu Huai'en chuckled: "I plan to open a furnace and set up a smelting plant under the name of Taifu Temple to forge weapons, armor and agricultural tools, but I don't have enough money."

"Where will it be done? How big will it be?" Yang Ming asked.

It is illegal to forge arms privately, which is tantamount to treason, but taking the initiative to join the Taifu Temple is equivalent to being supervised. The Taifu Temple takes more than half of the weapons and armors cast, and the rest can be secretly sold by itself, and sold to whomever How much to sell must be reported to Taifu Temple.

Or say that aristocratic families are not easy to move, many of them are forging ordnance in private, like Dugu Huai'en in front of him, he doesn't take private forging of ordnance seriously at all, and dare to tell the prince directly in person.

"It's in the east of the river, and the ore in the east is all ready. I've chosen the place, and I'll get the money to start the kiln," Dugu Huai'en said.

He is very obsessed with casting ordnance and armor, and he has a lot of research in this area, otherwise he would not have become friends with Yun Dingxing.

In fact, many aristocratic families will train the concubines in the family to manage the family property, and the money earned will be managed by those concubines who enter the official career.

Like the Dugu family, there is no shortage of talents of all kinds. Dugu Wynn wants to set up a smelting plant, there is no shortage of technical personnel, and it is reasonable to say that he is not short of money, but he will do this alone, and the family will not Those who support it are shameful and not doing their job properly.

"So, the scale is not small?" Yang Ming asked.

Dugu Wynn nodded and said: "In the early stage, I planned to build three or five of them first, and then add a furnace later. I think the quality of the current armor and weapons needs to be improved. For example, if I can make one of the Shu armor, I don't believe in it No second or third item."

It's good that you have this idea, then we brothers can have some chats, teach you some steel pouring techniques, and then invest in individual stocks.

"You don't have money, but I do," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Dugu Wynn was taken aback: "Are you still interested in this?"

"Come on, let's go back to the East Palace and talk again," Yang Ming dragged him away.
