Emperor Sui Yang

Near noon, Yang Ming brought the three boys into the palace.

These three children, because they are the sons of Yang Zhao, are very much loved by Yang Guang and his wife. Yang Guang is particularly concerned about the difference between his concubine and his concubine, but he doesn't care about Yang Zhao, otherwise he would not have given the two concubines the title of king. .

We must know that there was still a lot of opposition from the imperial court at that time, but who was Yang Guang?Best at picking N.

Empress Xiao was stunned when she suddenly saw the three grandsons in Yong'an Palace. After looking at her son in surprise, she called the three grandsons to come forward and ask for warmth.

Although she had been talking to her grandson, her attention never left Yang Ming.

What does the third child want to do?
What she was most worried about was that Yang Ming would harm the eldest son's three sons, so she deliberately alienated her for the sake of safety.

Having lived in the palace for so many years, Empress Xiao has long seen through the family relationship of flesh and blood. Under the temptation of absolute power, family relationship is really nothing. She can see clearly how her husband treats his nephews.

"Why did you suddenly think of bringing Yu'er and the others into the palace today?" Empress Xiao looked at her most powerful son with a smile, and tentatively asked.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "The patriarchal clan is just at the time of employing people. Although the three nephews are young, they have already reached the day of cultivation. I feel that I should find a good teacher from the Imperial College to teach Yu'er and the three of them early. Knowing things and making sense, it will be convenient for entrusting important things in the future."

Empress Xiao pondered for a moment and frowned, "There are famous teachers in Zhao'er's residence."

Yang Ming said with a smile: "The three children have always cared about A Niang and the father. The son thought it would be better for them to study in the palace. In this way, A Niang can see her often, so as to comfort her affectionately."

Empress Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Aniang is very happy that you think so. They are all your elder brother's own sons. They should indeed be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future. After all, the real reliable ones are blood relatives."

When she said this, she didn't believe it herself, but she hoped that Yang Ming would believe it.

Facing his mother's direct gaze, Yang Ming did not evade at all and said, "Since Aunt agrees, let them stay in the palace, and then get along with Yang Rui and his brothers."

Empress Xiao nodded with a smile: "Okay, Aunt agrees with your wishes."

Next, Yang Ming left after having lunch in Yong'an Palace.

And Yang Guang also went to the court meeting. When he saw the three grandsons, he was slightly surprised. When Empress Xiao explained the reason, Yang Guang nodded.

After inquiring about Yang You's recent situation, Yang Guang asked the Guozijian people to take the three grandsons away.

"If he is sincere, it's really rare, I'm afraid he has other plans," Yang Guang sighed.

He killed his brother and nephew himself to consolidate his power, but he definitely didn't want Yang Ming to do the same, because once Yang Ming had this thought, all he would kill were his descendants, and he couldn't stop him.

He killed Yang Yong only after the death of Yang Jian and his wife. If Yang Ming really wanted to deal with Yang You and the others, he would wait until he and his wife, Empress Xiao, died before doing so. How to prevent this?
As the so-called instigator has no descendants, what Yang Guang is most afraid of is that his son will learn from him. I have already given you the position of prince, so you can no longer attack your brothers and nephews.

"Ming'er should be sincere. When Zhao'er was alive, their brothers had the deepest affection. Ming'er would not do this," Queen Xiao said.

Yang Guang pondered: "No one can say for sure about this kind of thing. My Yang family is withered, and I can't stand any turmoil. I need to do something to give the youngest a warning."

"What did you warn him for? He didn't do anything wrong?" Empress Xiao was puzzled.

Yang Guang smiled: "I have to let him know that I also cherish the clan, and set an example for him and for the whole world. In this way, if he really has this heart in the future, many people will stand up to dissuade him." she."

Empress Xiao suddenly realized: "Such a warning is indeed necessary."

Yang Guang said with a smile: "In order to dispel my son's thoughts, I really took advantage of those idiots."

Since Yang Guang came to the throne, he has been alienating the clan. The reason is very simple. The clan has always been a staunch supporter of the prince.

But when the Sui Dynasty was just established, Yang Yong became the prince, so the clans were all on Yang Yong's side, and they often made Yang Guang stumble, even Yang Xiong was no exception.

So after Yang Guang came to the throne, he was very upset to see this group of people, demoted, degraded, and alienated, that is, Yang Xiong and Yang Zhiji's prestige was too high, and he couldn't move.

Yang Jian has five brothers. He is the eldest. The second brother Yang died early. He has a son, Cai Wang Yang Zhiji. He is now the Prince Taibao and the General of the Left Marquis Wei. He will enter the palace. He is actually not very old, about the same age as Yang Guang, and he also has the merits of saving him from the Renshou Palace. It stands to reason that he should be high-spirited, and he should participate in state affairs and give advice to the country.

But no, he decided that Yang Guang was a heartless and ungrateful person, and he didn't want to serve him anymore. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would anger him and end up in a tragic end.

Yang Jian's third younger brother, Yang Zan, had a bright future in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His wife was Princess Shunyang, Yu Wentai's daughter. She was the absolute confidant of Zhou Wu Emperor Yu Wenyong.

When Yang Zan found out that his elder brother Yang Jian had the idea of ​​usurping Zhou, he thought that Yang Jian was doing something to exterminate the clan, so he plotted to assassinate Yang Jian.

In his opinion, Yang Jian has no chance of success. Once the matter fails, his brothers, including wives, concubines and children, will have to finish playing.

As a result, Yang Jian succeeded. Not only did he not care about the assassination of the third child, but he even named King Teng. However, Yang Zan and his wife Yu Wenshi still played tricks behind the scenes, playing that set of witchcraft, and cursing Yang Jian and his wife. As a result, during a play with Yang Jian, he died suddenly.

Many people suspected that it was Yang Jian who killed him. In fact, it was impossible. Yang Jian wanted to kill him. When the third brother assassinated him, he had already done it. Why wait until now, so Yang Ming always felt that it was probably a heart attack.

As soon as Yang Zan died, his eldest son Yang Lun attacked King Teng. As a result, he was too superstitious and hung out with sorcerers and alchemists all day long. Deprived of the title, the brothers were all exiled to Wuwei County.

Yang Jian's fourth brother, named Yang Song, died too early and had no heirs, so Yang Jian adopted Yang Jing, the eldest son of the third son Yang Zan, as the heir, and became the king of Taoism. As a result, Yang Jing also died very early and left no heirs. .

Yang Xiong and Yang Hong once suggested that Yang Guang adopt another person from the clan to be Yang Song's heir, but they were fooled by Yang Guang vaguely.

As for the fifth child, that is the famous Wei Wang Yang Shuang. Among Yang Jian's four younger brothers, he is the closest to Yang Jian and the prince who can fight the most. But after Yang Shuang died, his son Yang Ji, He was exiled together with Yang Lun.

Yang Ming didn't know about it at the time. This was a good thing his father did when he was on his first tour of Luoyang. When he knew, Yang Ji had already been exiled.

According to historical records, Yang Ji encountered great chaos in the world and did not know where he ended up. Wei Wang Yang Shuang's branch completely disappeared from history.

But now, there is going to be a change, because Yang Guang is worried that his son will also commit fratricide, so even if he is reluctant, he plans to call these people back and re-appoint them.

He wants to show it to his son, and also to let the officials of the Manchu Dynasty understand his attitude. I care about the clan's children, and I will not treat them lightly, and the future successors should do the same.

In this way, if Yang Ming dares to attack his own people in the future, some ministers will use what Yang Guang said to suppress Yang Ming.

As Yang Ming's son, he had to listen, and it would be unfilial if he didn't listen.

At the next day's meeting, Yang Guang announced this decision, and Yang Xiong, who had been drowsy, cheered up all of a sudden.

Hey guys, is the sun coming out of the west?

The rest of the ministers were also very confused. The emperor really thought that it would happen as soon as it came out. Such a big event had no warning in advance, so he just issued a decree like this?
Yang Daoxuan, the son of Cai Wang Yang Zhiji, served as the prefect of Yanmen. This position was originally held by General Zuo Yuwei Qiu He, but now he does not have to hold the post.

Five brothers, Yang Lun, Prince of Teng, Yang Tan, Duke of Jingling County, Yang Meng, Duke of Jiyin County, Yang Wen, Duke of Shanggu County, and Yang Shen (shen), Duke of Mingyang County, restored their titles and were recalled to the capital for appointment.

Among them, Yang Cheng, the six-year-old concubine son of Yang Lun, adopted Yang Jing as his heir and became the Taoist king.

As for Yang Shuang's son Yang Ji, he was restored to the title of King of Wei and served as Fang Shilang in the Ministry of War.

Yang Xiao, the son of Yang Xiu, king of Shu, succeeded him as king of Shu, and Yang Hao, the eldest son of Yang Liang, succeeded him as king of Han.

Yang Guang's own sons Yang Qing, Yang He, Yang Lu, and Yang Shan were respectively canonized as King Wen, King Ying, King Rong, and King Bin.

Today's court meeting can be said to seal the clan. Everyone is very surprised. It's not that the emperor did something wrong. It's definitely understandable for people to seal their own people, but it's definitely not random. What happened?Only then did the emperor re-empower the clan so decisively.

Yang Xiong was more surprised than surprised. He was in the court, and of course he understood how passive he was without his own people. Hejian King Yang Hong died, Yang Zhiji was half-retired, and his son Yang Gongren went to the Southwest Xingtai. He is now a man in the court. Shan Ligu is no longer the opponent of Su Wei, Niu Hong, Pei Ju and others, but if the clan rises, why should these people be afraid?
You can't count on Yang Hao, that kid can only hug money.

Yang Guang looked at the astonishment on the faces of the people, and said with a smile: "The clan and the country rise and fall, and we share weal and woe. I can't bear it. Now I will use it again. I hope that his kindness will live up to my expectations."

"Your Majesty is holy!" Yang Xiong raised his hands in respect, his expression excited.

Although other people don't know why, they can only stand up and agree, but many people already understand that the power in their hands will be greatly challenged with the rise of the clan's children.

But Yang Guang himself was very happy. I did this to prevent my son. The people who canonized today will become the backbone to prevent the third child from attacking his own flesh and blood in the future.

And these people, there is no threat to Yang Guang at all, they will only be grateful to Dade.

Knowing sons is not like fathers, Yang Guang knew very well that the benevolence and righteousness of the third child was all pretending, and his parents Yang Jian and Duguhou could not teach benevolent children and grandchildren. (end of this chapter)
