Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 440 Anger rushed to the crown
As soon as Yang Ming left, Mrs. Dou was already preparing a bamboo stick as thick as a thumb.

In fact, among the brothers in the family, Yuan Ji was the one who was beaten the most. Firstly, this kid was not liked by his mother when he was born, and secondly, this kid often caused troubles.

This bamboo stick is usually used to beat Yuanji, because Li Shimin is very good at coaxing his mother.

In the room, Li Shimin voluntarily knelt on the ground, ready to be punished.

"Ma'am, let's beat her. It's better to be beaten than to lie to my brother-in-law."

Dou said angrily: "Your elder brother sent someone into the palace to inform you to meet you when you return home. It is because you brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and you are worried about you. It's good for you, and you turned around and sold your elder brother."

After all, Dou's stick was about to be swung down, but was stopped by Jiancheng:
"Shimin did the right thing, don't punish me, Auntie."

Dou refused, but the eldest son snatched the bamboo stick from his hand, Jian Jiancheng helped his mother to sit down, and said:
"If Shimin lied to the prince, he should be punished today, but he was right. I was too impatient. I should have said hello to the officials in advance. It would be safest to wait ten and a half months before coming back. Now that the prince is dead Knowing, I don’t need to be sneaky anymore, it’s a good thing.”

In fact, Dou doesn't really want to deal with Shimin, she is worried about Jiancheng's anger at Shimin, so she is the villain, so that Jiancheng doesn't hate Shimin.

But now it seems that the eldest son Jian Jiancheng has matured a lot and understands things, so she also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said with a smile:
"The crown prince is your brother-in-law, so he will naturally protect you, but my son needs to know that troubles are inevitable, but you can't ask for it yourself. Things like leaving your post without authorization can be big or small. In the future, you should be more cautious , Relying on the protection of others is not a long-term solution, you must learn to protect yourself."

"My mother's teaching, children must remember it," Li Jiancheng said.

After all, he is the eldest son. Li Yuan and his wife have high hopes for Li Jiancheng. As for Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, the family business will definitely not be inherited, but if they can achieve something on their own, they will be very happy as parents.

It's personal after all.

In the room right now, Li Yuanji and Li Zhiyun are both there. These two boys are Tong Geng, both are seven years old this year, and Li Zhiyun was born to Li Yuan's concubine Wan Shi, who calls Dou Shi Niang.

Because Li Shimin can't hang out with his younger brother Yuanji, Li Yuanji and Li Zhiyun have a close relationship, and they also respect Li Jiancheng.

After Mrs. Dou and Jiancheng left and went to the dormitory where Pei Xi was staying, Li Yuanji walked towards Shimin with a sneer:

"I said, second brother, your mouth is not strict. Brother-in-law only asked the first sentence, so you sold the eldest brother?"

"That's right, if it were me, I would have to ask seven or eight times before I dare to say," Li Zhiyun said from the side like a treacherous minister.

Li Shimin felt that talking to these two boys was a waste of time, so he walked out without saying a word.

"Hey~~~" Li Yuanji jumped a few steps forward and reached out to stop Shimin: "Where is Second Brother going?"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Are you itchy?"

Yuan Ji chuckled, "Zhiyun and I have learned a few boxing moves recently. Second brother, is there any interest in sparring? Since you are older, we will play two against one."

Li Zhiyun immediately opened his posture and let out a strange roar:
"Second brother, please enlighten me."

Li Shimin hooked his mouth, walked back, and directly took the bamboo stick in his hand.

Seeing this, Yuan Ji immediately raised his eyebrows and said:

"We're sparring with fists and kicks. It's not appropriate for the second brother to take the guy?"

Li Shimin laughed out loud, and rushed towards the two of them. Yuan Ji and Zhiyun yelled strangely, and ran out. The three brothers just chased and beat them at home.

There is an age gap between Li Jiancheng and his three younger brothers, so he can't communicate with each other, but he really loves his younger brothers, and Li Shimin and his elder brother are also close brothers at the moment.

But once there is a huge conflict of interests between the brothers, they will turn their faces and be more ruthless than outsiders.

In history, if there was no change of Xuanwu Gate and Li Jiancheng successfully succeeded to the throne, then Li Yuanji must have lived a very prosperous life, but Li Shimin should be imprisoned by Yang Guang like Yang Xiu now, and his life will not be lost, but Don't even think about living freely.

Ziwei Palace and Huiyou Palace in Luoyang.

In the evening, just after lighting the lamp, Yang Guang sent his servant to call Pei Ju over after learning that Pei Ju was on duty tonight.

"Shiju, look at this memorial, it's from the crown prince," Yang Guang pointed to the top one of the pile of memorials, and said to Pei Ju.

Pei Ju nodded, took the memorial, and then took an oil lamp, and read it carefully by the light.

After a long while, Pei Ju said: "The prince is so brave."

He didn't say clearly that Yang Ming was brave enough to give Yang Hao military power, so he came up with a code word.

Of course Yang Guang could understand, and said with a smile: "I ask you, do you think my son really values ​​love and righteousness?"

"The name of the prince's benevolence is spread far and wide in the world, there is no doubt about it," Pei Ju said.

Yang Guang chuckled, and said: "There is no one who knows a son like a father. I know better than anyone else what kind of person the third child is. If Yang Hao is used as the second child, I don't feel at ease. But the third child, he can make Gao Jiong Surrender, what is a Yang Hao?"

"The crown prince is so talented, I'm afraid that the stars will descend to earth to assist the emperor to achieve great things," Pei Ju said with a smile.

Yang Guang changed his sitting position slightly, nodded and said:
"I like to hear your words. I am satisfied with what Qilin'er has been planning all this time. Although there are unexpected actions every time, I think about it carefully afterwards and find that there is something unique in it. Since I came to the throne, I have alienated the clan because of They are too indulgent and disrespectful of the law. If I turn a blind eye to it, wouldn’t it be a connivance? Appropriate beating and beating to curb their arrogance will only benefit them and not harm them.”

"That's true. Your Majesty is far-sighted, and they should know about this painstaking thought," Pei Ju said. You are almost killed. Isn't this beating too much?

Yang Guang beckoned to Gao Ye and said, "Bring my ineffective younger brother and prepare some food and drink. I want to have a drink with him."

As soon as Gao Ye left, Pei Ju hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty's brothers are gathering together, so it's inconvenient for me to be here."

"Hey~~" Yang Guang raised his hand and said, "Shiji is not an outsider, but you, who can accompany today's event."

After a while, Yang Xiu dressed as a commoner was ushered in. After walking around a few bookshelves, Yang Xiu saw her second brother and knelt down:
"Criminal Yang Xiu, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Zheqian has lost weight," Yang Guang said to Pei Ju, "Shiju help him up for me."

Pei Ju nodded, stepped forward to help Yang Xiu, and said: "Si Lang, please take a seat. Your Majesty sees you tonight, and I miss you too. Don't be so unfamiliar and chill Your Majesty's heart."

I've said enough to you, it's inappropriate for you not to get up, Yang Xiuxin's name is Niu Bi, it has to be you, Pei Shiju, if someone else helps me, I have to kneel down for a while.

Yang Xiu stood up and sat down, her head drooped, her sitting posture correct.

Seeing this, Yang Guang couldn't help laughing and said: "Father, Queen and Mother once said that Zhe Qian's temper is as fierce as fire, and he can't restrain himself when encountering things. He always bursts into anger. He has courage but no wisdom. He may make big mistakes in the future. It really doesn't happen."

Yang Xiu hurriedly said: "My brother is mediocre in words and deeds. He is a mediocre person. He is blessed to be the son of the two sages, but he makes mistakes repeatedly because of this preference. I feel guilty."

"Don't bluff me, I don't know if you are guilty or not?" Yang Guang said lightly.

Yang Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and knelt again, this time there was no one to help him.

Yang Guang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you and I are brothers after all, I said you are for your own good, even if the father, the queen, and the queen can't correct you, I naturally don't have that ability, get up, don't kneel anymore, there is nothing tonight Monarchs and ministers, only brothers."

Yang Xiu was so moved that he burst into tears, with snot and tears, thanking his brother non-stop.

He looks like this, half is pretending, half is really sad, I have been imprisoned by you for nine years, you bastard, I didn't offend you?It was my mother who offended me.

"Shiju asked Zheqian to read the prince's memorial as well," Yang Guang said to Pei Ju.

Pei Ju nodded and handed it to Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu took it with both hands and looked at his brother. Yang Guang nodded and said with a smile:

"If I tell you to look at it, you can just look at it, mother-in-law looks like a woman."

Isn't it all forced by you?Regardless of my previous temper, beating you would be light. Yang Xiu opened the memorial, and Pei Ju handed over the lamp to help him illuminate it.

After a while, Yang Xiu sighed and closed the memorial.

Yang Guang asked with a smile, "What do you think after reading it?"

"Your Majesty's eyes are bright, you didn't choose the wrong person," Yang Xiu sighed.

The marriage of his son Yang Xiao was given by Yang Ming to Zhang Luo during the spring outing. He married the daughter of Guihua Hou Xiaoqiu. Now Yang Ming gave the third son Yang Hao a position in Zhang Luo's army. This child is really benevolent. , attaches great importance to blood relationship, unlike his naughty father.

Yang Guang said with a smile: "So, you also think that Yang Hao should be entrusted with important tasks?"

Yang Xiu nodded and said: "Although the third brother made a big mistake, his father, the queen and the queen also punished him, and the heavens also accepted it. There is a sentence in the crown prince's memorandum, and my younger brother agrees very much: it is the blood of the royal family. In other words, you should entrust with important matters to protect the ancestors, the country, and the country."

Yang Guang suddenly said: "Then what about you? You are also the flesh and blood of the Second Sage and my brother. In terms of qualifications, this position should also be yours. I want to entrust it to you, Zhe Qian must not refuse."

Yang Xiu chuckled, glanced at Pei Ju, and then said:
"Your Majesty, don't tease me. I'm harmless to you. Why tempt me? You're only my brother now. It's clean enough to kill me. It's just sister, how do you explain it?"

"Hahahaha." Yang Guang looked at Pei Ju and said with a smile, "Have you seen that? Brothers like me always use this dark mind to speculate on my intentions."

Pei Ju hurriedly persuaded Yang Xiu: "Si Lang thought too much, His Majesty has no such intentions, just now he said that he would have a drink with Shi Lang."

"I dare not drink his wine," Yang Xiu snorted coldly.

Yang Guang smiled and leaned back, clapped his legs and said, "Zheqian, Zheqian, do you think Yiqian (Yang Liang's nickname) was killed by me?"

"It's definitely not me who killed it," Yang Xiu said with a sneer while hugging her shoulders.

He really had enough. I was imprisoned for nine years, and I was demoted to a commoner. I lived like a dog. How can he still plot against me now?I have had enough of these days, you should give me a good time.

Pei Ju was silent, Yang Xiu couldn't do it, and he got angry after just a few words?No wonder such a city was taken down early.

No wonder he was locked up. It would definitely be a disaster if such a character was released.
